[12:05] <milsabor> ok, i try again : hi everyone, I've got a slow connexion issue only at my parent's, and only with my laptop (I mean that i never have issues to connect at any wifi connexion except at my parent's, and that an other ubuntu laptop is connected to the wifi and works perfectly well). it seemed to be a bit rate problem (my wi fi card supports n wifi, but my wifi box does not), so i tried to change the bit rate using the following
[12:05] <milsabor>  command lines : ifdown wlan0;  iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M; ifup wlan0. But the first command returns "interface wlan0 not configured"
[12:05] <Paola> but why slow video on youtube   ?????
[12:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Paola: normally a flash issue, because on GNU/Linux the gpu is not used for flash
[12:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Paola: also, 10.10 is no longer supported
[12:06] <Paola> okey
[12:06] <Paola> but
[12:06] <Paola> but why slow video on youtube   ?????
[12:06] <iceroot> Paola: 10.10 is no longer supported
[12:06] <Paola> how to make good work ?
[12:07] <Paola> i understand... better only 10.04 lts
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> because flash sucks mainly...
[12:07] <iceroot> always
[12:07] <jahid> when i do "ls -l" what are the 3rd and 4th column means? normally they show user name
[12:07] <iceroot> jahid: username and group
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> uid and gid perhaps?
[12:08] <iceroot> jahid: and if you for example deleted that user, the uid and gui is shown
[12:08] <Paola> but how to make remove and install again for flash   ? ?????
[12:08] <iceroot> Paola: we dont support 10.10 here
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> they can show a # if you move stuff  from different system s
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> remove/reinstalling flash wont help flash much i imagine

[12:10] <milsabor> anyone please ?
[12:11] <oldereagle> MonkeyDust, I managed to solve it by Googling... : http://askubuntu.com/questions/149025/dual-monitor-second-screen-is-rotated-ubuntu-12-04-precise
[12:11] <iceroot> jahid: ec-developer is the owner, root is the group
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> oldereagle  great :-)
[12:11] <iceroot> jahid: owner group other  is the order
[12:11] <jahid> iceroot, isnt it other way around?
[12:11] <iceroot> jahid: no
[12:12] <jahid> because i do not have any user "ec-developer", and there is not root group either. but i have a group name ec-developers
[12:12] <iceroot> jahid: man chown
[12:12] <iceroot> owner then group
[12:13] <iceroot> jahid: and you have a user named ec-developer and a group named root
[12:13] <iceroot> jahid: if you dont have them ls would show the uid and gui instead of the real names
[12:13] <iceroot> jahid: getent passwd | grep ec-developer
[12:13] <iceroot> jahid: getent group | grep root
[12:14] <jahid> iceroot, when i do "cat /etc/group" i do not see any group named root.
[12:14] <Pici> iceroot: fyi, you can do:  getent group root
[12:14] <iceroot> Pici: thx
[12:14] <iceroot> jahid: always use getent
[12:14] <iceroot> jahid: because its also reading ldap and other sources for users and groups
[12:15] <rickogden> hi all, is it possible to prepend a custom mapped attribute in ldap.conf? eg. nss_map_attribute homeDirectory "/home/"sAMAccountName
[12:15] <iceroot> rickogden: #openldap or #slapd

[12:16] <iceroot> jahid: outout of "id ec-developer"
[12:16] <iceroot> output

[12:27] <TrevMyster> Hello I need someone to give me a terminal command to allow me to drag and drop icons to the desktop.
[12:27] <iceroot> kristenbb: if both are linux-machines you can try to use pulse-audio as a server and client
[12:28] <eroot> join #tog
[12:28] <eroot> sorry!
[12:28] <kristenbb> iceroot: yes both are. How to do that?
[12:28] <Stanley00> TrevMyster: from where to desktop?
[12:28] <iceroot> kristenbb: on older releases there was "padevchooser" but its removed now so you have to write the config by hand
[12:28] <TrevMyster> From launcher to desktop. I want to create shortcuts that I can click to open apps
[12:29] <Stanley00> TrevMyster: you are using U 12.04, right? you can try drag from dash, not from laucher.
[12:30] <TrevMyster> Hoe
[12:30] <th0r> TrevMyster: you can copy the appropriate .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/Desktop
[12:30] <TrevMyster> There was a command I typed before I reset ubuntu that allowed me to do it.
[12:30] <TrevMyster> But I lost it
[12:30] <Paola> so upgrade 10.4 lst first after click install update and prompt normal ???
[12:31] <cfhowlett> Paola: download the iso.  burn a cdrom or usb. boot that.
[12:31] <Stanley00> TrevMyster: the "cp"? as th0r said?
[12:31] <Paola> ok i have cd rom 10.04
[12:31] <TrevMyster> ? I just want to be able to click and hold an icon and move it to desktop no complicated stuff
[12:31] <iceroot> Paola: you cant upgrade with the normal 10.04 cd
[12:31] <Paola> after install update  but i must manual click for prompt normal after install update, correct  ?
[12:32] <th0r> TrevMyster: you can do the copy using the file manager...I did
[12:32] <iceroot> Paola: as i told you also 3 times, read the link from ubottu about the eol upgrades
[12:32] <iceroot> !eol | p
[12:32] <iceroot> !eol | Paola
[12:32] <Stanley00> TrevMyster: why don't you just drag from the dash?
[12:32] <iceroot> Paola: and now start reading please, everything answered there
[12:32] <TrevMyster> What is dash
[12:32] <TrevMyster> Everytime I try to drag and drop it doesn't go to desktop
[12:33] <Stanley00> TrevMyster: the one appear when you press "window" key
[12:33] <Ali1> Fatal error:cannot open disk drive press any key to exit cfdisk
[12:33] <Ali1> any one can assist me with this error
[12:33] <TrevMyster> Thanks

[13:10] <smmsadrnezh> I do sudo lightdm stop
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> there are flash downloader extensions to let you download then watch the flash video locally. and 'flashreplacer' extensions to play flash videos in vlc or other media players
[13:11] <dontknow> Paola: what browser do you use? if you use chrome its flash is a little buggy for now
[13:11] <Stanley00> smmsadrnezh: service lightdm start|stop
[13:12] <smmsadrnezh> Stanley00: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[13:12] <smmsadrnezh> utility, e.g. service lightdm stop
[13:12] <smmsadrnezh> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[13:12] <smmsadrnezh> Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop lightdm
[13:12] <Paola> Firefox browser this youtube
[13:13] <Stanley00> smmsadrnezh: so then, start|stop lightdm ;D
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> sudo service lightdm stop

[13:14] <romy_420> what is /etc/alternatives for? i installed AMD APP SDK for bitcoin mining and wanted to link the opencl lib under /usr/lib/X86_64. this was not possible because there already is an opencl lib linked from /etc/alternatives. not sure if i can remove them?!
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> !alternatives

[13:16] <Wiz_KeeD> MonkeyDust, any ideea how i can setup firefox to open magnet links directly with deluge?
[13:16] <milsabor> hi, I have a slow wi fi connexion, and i notice that only on my laptop (the connection works fine with other ubuntu laptops), and only with this connexion (my laptop works fine with other wi fi connexion). Can someone help me to solve this problem ?
[13:16] <Tousurv> Hi, I have a problem with a HP Deskjet 3940 printer on 10.04 LTS, when I try to clean the print heads (since it doesn't seem to be able to print yellow, though the toner is new), I get an "Invalid printer command "Clean"" error
[13:16] <Stanley00> milsabor: what is your wifi card, and you got slow on all modem, or just this one?
[13:16] <usr13> milsabor: weak signal?
[13:17] <usr13> milsabor: iwconfig | pastebinit
[13:17] <milsabor> no weak signal, and just this modem
[13:17] <usr13> milsabor: look at /etc/resolv.conf  #See if you have a bogus nameserver listed first
[13:17] <luftikuss> I have a MySQL database ~/dbBegriffe2012. Putting into the Firefox address line the string »file:///home/<username>/dbBegriffe2012« does only produce an "Index of file:file:///home/<username>/dbBegriffe2012". Why does it not invoke phpMyAdmin and load this database?
[13:18] <usr13> milsabor: ... should have asked first;  Is it slow browsing, or slow download speeds?
[13:18] <Ormie> Dr_Willis: i used sudo apt-get upgrade and on my byobu desktop. it says that 6 updates are available. I then used sudo apt-get upgrade again, apt-get said everything was updated. but on byobu it's still 6 updates available. Weird...
[13:19] <milsabor> slow browsing, and slow ping for example
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  status maaaay only upsate every so often
[13:19] <Ormie> proper english!
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  i use torrents, explore deluge a bit, it's the best way to learn
[13:20] <milsabor> usr13 : here's the result of iwconfig : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1132425/
[13:20] <Ormie> Dr_Willis: it has been almost a day uptime.
[13:21] <Pici> Ormie: Did it say that any packages were held back? do you have anything pending in a dist-upgrade?
[13:21] <Wiz_KeeD> MonkeyDust, sorry torrets i meant, deluge is really cool i just have to link torrents to deluge automatically
[13:21] <Wiz_KeeD> duno how
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  mine was wrong a few min ago, then fixed itself. if you dont like it.. have it not show the updates in the status. or try turning it off then back on. hit f9
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  in byobu, press F9 to get rid of such information
[13:21] <Ormie> pici, never tried dist-upgrade...
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> i do dist upgrade like once a week
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  'open with'
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> then what? :))
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> daily with the beta ;)
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> not like i can select deluge.exe
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> :P
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  'open with deluge'
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> no such option from firefox, the context menu in the filesystem has it
[13:22] <Ormie> pici, i am on the stable release. If i do dist-upgrade will it upgrade to quantal quetzal?
[13:22] <Wiz_KeeD> wait i think i got it
[13:22] <Pici> Ormie: no
[13:23] <Pici> !dist-upgrade | Ormie
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  you're seeing it wrong, download the torrent, open it with the client of your choice
[13:23] <Ormie> ok
[13:23] <milsabor> usr13, in /etc/resolv.conf, i have two lines beginning with "nameserver" and an IP address
[13:23] <Ormie> thanks pici
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> dist-upgrade is a more intense upgrade.. not a release upgrade
[13:23] <usr13> milsabor: What is the first IP address?
[13:24] <usr13> milsabor: Does that first IP address actually resolve domain names?
[13:24] <milsabor> is it safe to give it ? (just asking, it does not seem to be my ip address)
[13:24] <milsabor> ah ok it's the IP of a DNS ?
[13:24] <usr13> milsabor: You can comment out the second one and see if you can still resolve a domain name.  host av.com
[13:25] <usr13> milsabor: Is it the IP of your router?
[13:25] <milsabor> nope
[13:25] <usr13> milsabor: Is the second one the IP of your router?
[13:25] <milsabor> nope
[13:26] <usr13> milsabor: host av.com  #Does that give immediate response?
[13:26] <usr13> milsabor: ... or does it take a while?
[13:26] <babalolol> ilove you u ubuntu
[13:26] <milsabor> it takes like 1 second
[13:26] <milsabor> no, immediate
[13:28] <usr13> milsabor: Well, probably not domain name resolution problem.
[13:28] <Tousurv> nevermind, I just found out about the hp-clean utility :)
[13:29] <usr13> milsabor: You could do a traceroute and see if it's hanging somewhere.  traceroute av.com
[13:30] <luftikuss> I have a MySQL database ~/dbBegriffe2012. Putting into the Firefox address line the string »file:///home/<username>/dbBegriffe2012« does only produce an "Index of file:///home/<username>/dbBegriffe2012". Why does it not invoke phpMyAdmin and load this database?
[13:30] <milsabor> usr13 : yes it is
[13:31] <usr13> milsabor: So where is it hanging?
[13:31] <milsabor> well, i don't know, 3 stars each time ..
[13:31] <frega> hi, is this a good place to ask about external monitors on a macbook air (2012 w/ ubuntu 12.04) or is there a dedicated channel for mac+ubuntu?
[13:31] <usr13> milsabor: I would comment out the second nameserver just to make sure that first one is not working....
[13:31] <cfhowlett> frega: there's a mac channel
[13:32] <Ormie> what are the limitations of launchpad trial?
[13:32] <Ormie> um...
[13:32] <Ormie> landscape
[13:32] <milsabor> ok i try that
[13:33] <AdvoWork> anyone recommend a program that will take say 20,000 files, and convert into x folders based on size, ie total = 20 gig, i want folders in size of no bigger than 4GB
[13:33] <usr13> milsabor: But I notice that in the output of iwconfig it shows Bit Rate=240 Mb/s  and I dont really thing it can go at 240 megabits per second, but... prolly not important.
[13:33] <Ormie> what are the limitations of landscape trial?
[13:33] <milsabor> the first address was <IP_ADDRESS>, and the second one <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:33] <frega> cfhowlett: do you know the channel name? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList doesnt list anything mac-specific afaics)
[13:34] <cfhowlett> frega: looking now.  gonna have to check the mac/ubuntu forum i think
[13:34] <milsabor> well, that's what i thought at the beginning. My wifi card handles wifi n, and my modem does not, so i tried to change the bit rate to 54Mb/s, but i didn't succeed to do it
[13:38] <gitesh> How do I restore ubuntu 12.04 to yesterday?
[13:38] <gitesh> I am crappy changes to ethernet today
[13:38] <gitesh> *made
[13:39] <usr13> milsabor: If you have another PC on your LAN with a fairly large file, you could scp it and check the speed at which is downloads, (to see what you are really getting across the LAN).
[13:40] <cfhowlett> frega: sorry, couldn't find it.  Perhaps I was wrong?  Searched for Mactel project and IRC channel - no joy
[13:42] <proxx8187> Anyone uses USB->DVI/VGA adapter ??? , im considering buying 1 or 2 but i also understood thats can be a lot of trouble ???
[13:43] <frega> cfhowlett: thanks a lot anyway!
[13:43] <elspuddy_>  im trying to figure out why my drive shaire has stoped working, here is a copy of my log file for samba/nmbd http://paste.ubuntu.com/1132196/
[13:44] <livingdaylight> Hi, I'm running FireFox in Ubuntu but my question is really in regards to FF, is that cool? No one in FF is responding :/
[13:45] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight: if it's not too ff or mozilla specific.  go for it...
[13:45] <proxx8187> just ask , well burn you down later
[13:45] <livingdaylight>  In the process of installation  I forgot to keep FF browsers synced and can't now recover my keys. I'm following instructions in the dialog how to Recover Key but at least here the dialogs don't match the instructions and I'm going round in circles.
[13:46] <romica_> Problems: I run the commands below to download Adobe Air executable.
[13:46] <usr13> elspuddy_: Prolly need to see /etc/samba/smb.conf as well.
[13:46] <Exposure_> where can I find a list of packages that will be installed in a default ubuntu desktop installation?
[13:46] <romica_> and aper: 100% [Waiting for headers]
[13:46] <livingdaylight_> I'm following this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Replace%20your%20Sync%20information - " 3. In the Sync tab click on Manage Account and select My Recovery Key. "  I don't see "manage account" anywhere in preferences; certainly not in the "Sync" tab, nor do I find the "select my recovery key" option
[13:46] <milsabor> usr13 : i'm currently trying that but it seems that for some reason I can't connect to my laptop with ssh
[13:46] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight: never done that procedure, but if you're getting differing dialogs, I'd guess there's a mismatch between tutorial and installed software.
[13:47] <livingdaylight> cfhowlett: err, yea, exactly. It rather poses a dilemma. Rather like putting a mouse in a round room and telling it there is cheese in the corner.
[13:48] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight: appropos AND poetic.  sorry I couldn't be more help.

[14:00] <killer> hi.... installed ubuntu 12.04 on my lappy but no sound...anyone can help
[14:00] <killer> ?
[14:01] <Ormie> "Register for an Ubuntu Advantage trial" << I want landscape only. I don't want ubuntu advantage. thanks.
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> killer  in a terminal, type alsamixer
[14:01] <Ormie> killer, alsa reset
[14:01] <Ormie> and try again
[14:02] <Ormie> how do you guys normally get linux newbies to run a terminal and type commands? :s
[14:02] <zykotick9> jahid: "sudo chown :GROUPYOUWANT /path/to/folder" then probably "sudo chmod g+wrx /path/to/folder"
[14:03] <rundmc> hi, i tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and now apt is stuck on downloading flashplugin alsready 2 days, i tried dpkg --configure -a , didn't help, any advice?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> Ormie, usually it's not too difficult , once they try commands successfully they're usually hooked :)
[14:05] <Ormie> ah.. ok
[14:05] <rahul_> Can anyone please tell me good video editor for ubuntu?
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> rahul_  openshot
[14:05] <peterrus> I could say pitivi
[14:06] <peterrus> but it is rudimental
[14:06] <rahul_> Thanks MonkeyDust
[14:06] <peterrus> dont know about openshot though
[14:06] <llutz> rahul_: kdenlive
[14:06] <Ormie> BluesKaj: my mom used ms products for 30 years I told her to type a command in linux and it works but she wasn't hooked. :s
[14:06] <rahul_> thanks llutz, i will try both.
[14:06] <BluesKaj> Ormie, make sure they understand the links between the package managers and apt and that dpkg is the actual engine that installs and removes packages
[14:06] <peterrus> Ormie: probably because she was not aware of the context
[14:06] <peterrus> BluesKaj: exactly
[14:07] <peterrus> you need to let the understand that is no magic
[14:07] <peterrus> them*
[14:07] <peterrus> it is*
[14:07] <Ormie> ha ha ok
[14:07] <BluesKaj> Ormie, package managers are just a GUI and the cli is a more direct method
[14:07] <peterrus> rundmc: restricted-extras is a metapackage, which means it is a shortcut to multiple packages
[14:07] <llutz> more important to let them know, that cli isn't anything anachronistic
[14:08] <peterrus> rundmc: so you could install the individual packages
[14:08] <Ormie> ok
[14:08] <peterrus> rundmc: and skip flash
[14:08] <peterrus> this is a workaround, you will still need to install flash, but at least you can update ;)
[14:08] <peterrus> also try an apt-get clean
[14:08] <peterrus> apt-cache clean* (?)
[14:08] <Narcotico> hi
[14:08] <BluesKaj> Ormie, for starters , then there are all the other commands to do with files and networking to learn
[14:08] <Narcotico> im from  brasil
[14:09] <tech1> i have a weird bug. i made a custom gtk theme in /usr/share/themes, and had to use "sudo gedit gtkrc" and was fine.. but when i rebooted today. if i sudo open the file, it is just blank, where as if i open it without sudo the file data is there. this seems strange to me. is it a weird bug? or something obvious im missing
[14:09] <Ormie> heh... i recalled that newbies would use ubuntu software center to download what they need but for me i: sudo apt-get install geany bleachbit bless wine xchat cheese ; lol :D
[14:09] <Narcotico> alguem br?
[14:09] <peterrus> Narcotico: there probably is a spanish channel
[14:09] <zykotick9> rundmc: i'd personally try "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if that fixes teh flash download issue...
[14:09] <rundmc> zykotick9, thanks, ill try that
[14:10] <Ormie> Are you interested in Canonical support products? (Required) <<< What does canonical want? Choice Yes/No. Thing is: all i need is landscape.
[14:10] <peterrus> Ormie: it is probably just a survey?
[14:11] <rundmc> zykotick9, no, this brings me to the same situation again, it keeps trying to download flash again, is there a way to make apt start a frensh ?
[14:11] <zykotick9> rundmc: sorry i don't have any other suggestions for ya.  good luck
[14:11] <peterrus> rundmc: remove flash, then blacklist the package, and install restricted-extras
[14:11] <proxx8187> Anyone uses USB->DVI/VGA adapter ??? , im considering buying 1 or 2 but i also understood thats can be a lot of trouble ???
[14:11] <peterrus> dont ask me how, I only know it is possible
[14:11] <Ormie> peterrus: i am gonna register landscape to manage 1 desktop PC remotely.
[14:12] <peterrus> Ormie: that is not what landscape is for afaik
[14:12] <rundmc> peterrus, how do i do that ?
[14:12] <peterrus> but you can always try ;)
[14:12] <Ormie> ?
 dont ask me how, I only know it is possible
[14:12] <Ormie> :s
[14:12] <peterrus> Ormie: landscape as in a large amount of workstations and servers
[14:12] <peterrus> not just one PC
[14:12] <rundmc> oh
[14:12] <peterrus> you can do it
[14:12] <peterrus> but is overkill
[14:12] <peterrus> I have no experience with it though
[14:12] <peterrus> g2g also
[14:12] <Ormie> ok
[14:13] <Ormie> bye

[14:13] <Ormie> gah.. sorry
[14:13] <peterrus> lol
[14:14] <peterrus> Ormie: but you can probably just answer yes or no, as long as you dont have to pay anything, why not?
[14:14] <peterrus> and if you accidentally order something
[14:14] <peterrus> you can always cancel your order
[14:14] <peterrus> its ubuntu after all
[14:14] <peterrus> it´s not like they are going to silently charge you
[14:14] <Ormie> ok

[14:17] <zykotick9> October82: AdobeAir is dead on gnu/linux.  why install it?
[14:18] <October82> because is needed to play "desura" games
[14:18] <peterrus> air is needed for a lot of things
[14:18] <peterrus> how come its dead?
[14:18] <zykotick9> peterrus: because adobe said so...
[14:18] <Blade> Hi Ormie
[14:18] <gitesh> would you link me somewhere to learn all network configurations in Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[14:18] <Blade> Is it normal that gnome-media-player won't work under Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> October82  complain @ adobe
[14:19] <peterrus> October82: ah well if you have a decent PC run windows in a VM
[14:19] <peterrus> and lets hope desura is no 3d game

[14:26] <ServerTechLaptop> My Ubuntu 11.10 VPS suddenly started refusing SSH on port 22 after installing XAMPP (Just telling you the previous operation). I tried adding an SSH incoming rule on IPtables and even turning it off. But not working. Could it be OpenSSH itself? Any suggestions? (I have console access through it's online control panel, so that's not a problem)
[14:26] <schmakk> hello. i just rebooted my server and its giving me [numbers] sd 4:0:0:0 [sdb] Asking for cache data failed repeatedly on the console. i tried upgrading and rebooting, but its still there. it is not responding to ssh and i cant get in touch with any services running on it. help :)

[14:28] <Ormie> Oh god I will give up on landscape
[14:28] <itatitat> I tried some years ago, but was faster
[14:28] <ServerTechLaptop> zykotick9, not talking of an XAMPP install.
[14:28] <mneptok> Ormie: contact Canonical for issues with Landscape.
[14:28] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, no output.
[14:29] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: so ssh doesn't run/listen on port 22 at all. restart the service
[14:29] <Ormie> mneptok: sir, yes, sir.
[14:29] <roasted> My 12.04 system is not holding on to the time like it should. I run owncloud on it, whcih requires the clock to be within 10 seconds accurate to work. For the 4th time, it's errored out citing it's not correct. What can I do to ensure Ubuntu 12.04 is always correct on time?Best I can think of is cron a "ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" job every night...
[14:29] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, i tried restarting, didn't work.
[14:29] <llutz> !dontwork | ServerTechLaptop
[14:30] <ServerTechLaptop> Lol hold on llutz
[14:31] <pierre_ubuntuing> anyone
[14:32] <itatitat> ey guys
[14:33] <itatitat> my buntu in my laptop is veeeeeery slow!
[14:33] <rene_> hello
[14:33] <itatitat> is impossible......is ubuntu....
[14:33] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, http://pastebin.com/UjPKfjuX No output whatsoever, nor an error while restarting the ssh service.
[14:33] <luftikuss> I notice that two Ubuntu computers of mine have different UID and GID for users like mysql. This complicates restoring backups. Does Ubuntu provide means to assimilate UIDs and GIDs?
[14:33] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: "sudo service ssh restart"  check /var/log/syslog
[14:34] <rene_> i need some help with 12.04 and wireless using iwlwifi and gnome network mananger
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> itatitat  make sure there's not too many kernels in /
[14:34] <rene_> its not able to establish a connection:  <info> (wlan0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'supplicant-available')
[14:34] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: or /var/log/daemon  (not sure were ubuntu ssh logs to by default)
[14:34] <rene_> if i create a wpa.conf manually and start wpa_supplicant manually i got it working
[14:34] <itatitat> nono, is the first time I try ubuntu in years....so...I've only one
[14:35] <rene_> upgrading packages does not help
[14:35] <itatitat> is slow even for the most simple...
[14:35] <Jat421> anyone has experience with freeswtich on ubuntu 12.04?
[14:35] <Jat421> *freeswitch
[14:35] <itatitat> I installed my ubuntu with wubi
[14:36] <rene_> any hints the networkmanager problem?
[14:36] <itatitat> maybe is because of that?, mustnt because is a partition as usually no?
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> itatitat  wubi:(
[14:36] <itatitat> is not good?
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> itatitat  better install it from cd or usb, on it's own partition
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> its*
[14:37] <itatitat> so maybe is because of that?..
[14:37] <pierre_ubuntuing> any help with software center
[14:37] <dylan> hey, I need to automate the deletion of a file
[14:37] <mike_yung> Can anyone tell me what this install error MSG is trying to tell me?     http://instagram.com/p/N_Ut-cBShT/
[14:37] <itatitat> ok, but....how can I install ubuntu keeping windows?
[14:37] <pierre_ubuntuing> anyone
[14:37] <DJones> !dualboot | itatitat
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> itatitat  if you have enough space left, ubuntu can install next to it, you then get a grub menu, so you can choose
[14:38] <ryao> How do I debootstrap karmic?
[14:38] <Jat421> dylan use rm with schedule it
[14:38] <dylan> Jat421 rm with schdule it?
[14:38] <Jat421> using cron
[14:38] <dylan> I don;t know what that is
[14:38] <Jat421> rm <filename>
[14:38] <Jat421> that will delete the file you want
[14:39] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, http://pastebin.com/9qi4nPrL Don't see anything is the syslog though, still checking.
[14:39] <DJones> pierre_ubuntuing: You need to explain what the problem is first, what happens, what do you expect to happen, what is going wrong etc
[14:39] <Jat421> and then you can put that command in crontab
[14:39] <dylan> what is crontab?
[14:39] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: "pgrep sshd"
[14:39] <dylan> sorry
[14:39] <eightieskhild> so my internet is extremly slow
[14:39] <eightieskhild> any workarounds
[14:39] <Jat421> it's like a schedule task in windows
[14:40] <eightieskhild> running 12.04
[14:40] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, was it expected to give an output, still nothing.
[14:40] <eightieskhild> !ethtool
[14:40] <ryao> How do I debootstrap 9.10?
[14:40] <Jat421> do crontab -e
[14:40] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: sudo grep -ri sshd /var/log/*
[14:40] <Jat421> to edit the crontab file
[14:41] <pierre_ubuntuing> need help ubuntu 12.04 64bit software centre. if i buy a game it takes me to ubuntu single user login to login and when i login i get a blank screen. i already registered for that and received a code which i used to activate my account, but still cannot buy a game. i tried with 2 specific games that i couldn't buy, but the demos downloaded and worked. please can someone help me, or tell me if i'm doing something wrong.
[14:41] <dylan> nano defkill
[14:41] <dylan> whoops
[14:41] <luftikuss> ryao, Why 9.10?
[14:41] <ryao> luftikuss: The instructions for building Asus firmware require it: http://www.lostrealm.ca/tower/node/84
[14:42] <ryao> I tried 10.04. It fails to build... I am hoping that is because of a system difference rather than the developer not publishing the sources he uses to build.
[14:42] <ryao> Or rather, publishing different sources.
[14:42] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, first line indicates a successful login yesterday, http://pastebin.com/FGtRjyXV
[14:43] <mike_yung> Can anyone tell me what this error logo is trying to tell me?     http://instagram.com/p/N_Ut-cBShT/    It happens when I try to boot the installer.
[14:43] <ryao> This appears to do it: debootstrap --arch amd64 karmic /mnt/ubuntu http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[14:44] <h00k> mike_yung: that isn't an error, that's where you can change keyboard layout or accesability option
[14:44] <dylan> Jag421: I should have been a little more precise.  I'm writing a shell script, it needs to check if a process is running, and then if that process is running, search for a file.   If that file exists, it then needs to delete it.
[14:44] <inca> i'm conecting two ubuntu 12.04 machines can anyone would give me an example of ip, gateway and dns to set in each one ?
[14:44] <dylan> Jag421:then rinse and repeaat uintil that process is no longer running
[14:45] <h00k> mike_yung: if there's errors, it would be displayed in text
[14:45] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: "sudo /usr/sbin/sshd &"  "sudo lsof -i :22"
[14:46] <mike_yung> Tks, h00k.   How long should I be waiting for the installer to continue?   It did that for 20 minutes then I gave up.
[14:46] <luftikuss> ryao, I don'tthink that there was ever a "Ubuntu 9.10 LTS 64-bit".
[14:46] <panorama> how do you find the linux distro i am using
[14:46] <panorama> by using terminal commands?
[14:46] <llutz> panorama: lsb_release -sc
[14:46] <h00k> mike_yung: that appears to be the bootloader of your installation media, do you have anything else on your screen?
[14:46] <smartboyhw> !support
[14:46] <Jat421> dylan: yea that should be not hard to accomplish
[14:47] <mike_yung> Nope, just the graphic.
[14:47] <Jat421> use can use ps and then look for the process
[14:47] <mike_yung> H00k, nope just the graphic
[14:48] <panorama> thanks llutz
[14:48] <llutz> dylan: "pgrep processname && rm path/to/file"
[14:48] <h00k> mike_yung: when you began booting, did it give you options like "Boot from first hard drive" or "Test memory"?
[14:49] <luftikuss> I notice that two Ubuntu computers of mine have different UID and GID for users like mysql. This complicates restoring backups. Does Ubuntu provide means to assimilate UIDs and GIDs?
[14:49] <Jat421> nice llutz
[14:49] <Jat421> that was simple :)
[14:49] <mike_yung> H00k, I'm not sure.  Stand by while I reproduce.
[14:50] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, http://pastebin.com/rJd5yNJK
[14:51] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server
[14:51] <h00k> mike_yung: I'm just using Google Image search, but it should...ooh, hang a sec
[14:51] <h00k> mike_yung: what version are you booting?
[14:52] <e66> how can I associate all my media files with VLC? when I right click a .mkv file I see only a opne menu. No 'open with' other wise I could select the default program.
[14:52] <mike_yung> h00k, solved it.   Error MSG is from the floppy I use to help this box boot from USB.
[14:52] <h00k> e66: You can right click, properties, "Open With" tab
[14:53] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, well, that was pretty easy. Thanks for the help, never thought of just reinstalling it.
[14:53] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:53] <h00k> mike_yung: ah, okay. That screen tries to convey "Press a button for options"
[14:53] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: more interesting would be to know, WHY it was gone...
[14:53] <h00k> mike_yung: I think that's the one you're seeing
[14:53] <DarkAceZ> "!netsplit"?
[14:54] <ServerTechLaptop> llutz, don't now. Another person installed XAMPP for me anyway. Never checked what he was doing. It was just after that time. That install shouldn't have caused the problem anyway.
[14:54] <e66> h00k: In the properties thre is no open with menu. Its happening only to movie collection folder. If the movie is somewhere else I see the open with menu!
[14:55] <BluesKaj> Guest10869, did you ever get your m-audio audio working ?
[14:55] <e66> h00k: sorry. s/open with menu/open with tab/
[14:55] <llutz> ServerTechLaptop: anyways, tell him to use the repo-packages instead of xampp in the future :)
[14:57] <e66> Oops. Ubuntu has experienced an internal error. ExecutablePath /usr/bin/nautilus. Segfault on g_type_check().
[14:57] <e66> o_O
[14:57] <SpaceAviator> so I managed to installed arch linux but I kept trying to install catalyst drivers and it never really succeeded. So I went back to ubuntu but since then I keep getting a new error no matter what distro I boot. It says hda codec out of range. and the splash screen for ubuntu also is one of the basic ones now instead of the fancy ones. anyone know what could possibly be up?
[14:58] <h00k> e66: you could definitely report a bug if you'd like :)
[14:58] <h00k> mike_yung: did you get it taken care of?
[14:59] <e66> well Ubuntu generated a bug report interface. I just pressed continue. I am not sure if this will be reported as bug?
[14:59] <inca> i'm conecting two ubuntu 12.04 machines in network, each one has two network devices, one for internet and the other one for samba. My question is how do i configure the ip, mask, gateway and dns in each one not for internet, but for database betwen two machines
[14:59] <SpaceAviator> anyone?
[14:59] <e66> Everytime I see such interface I let it do what it wants.
[15:00] <h00k> e66: cool.
[15:05] <kukulambar> hi how do i defrag hard drive in ubuntu?
[15:05] <magicalChicken> kukulambar: depends on fs type if it is ext3 or ext4 as it probably is then you don't
[15:07] <BluesKaj> !defrag | kukulambar
[15:07] <h00k> kukulambar: you don't have to ;)
[15:08] <kukulambar> i always do that in Windows but in Ubuntu I don't have to?
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> kukulambar: you got it
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> correct
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> no need for constant anti virus scanning either
[15:09] <mneptok> kukulambar: and really, NTFS does not need that kind of attention, either. constant defrag is vestigal work from the FAT days.
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> win7 has some sort of defrag in the background feature i belive
[15:11] <kukulambar> mneptok: some says it improves the performance in NTFS but i am not using NTFS in ubuntu  :-)
[15:11] <mneptok> kukulambar: they're only half right.
[15:12] <mneptok> kukulambar: "If you defrag, you can save time in opening files ad apps." true. is it ENOUGH time saved to offset the 30 minutes of defrag? probably not.
[15:12] <codingenesis> i want to host  ubuntu repositories in my country. tell me the procedure about it.
[15:13] <Pici> !newmirror | codingenesis
[15:13] <kukulambar> mneptok: i guess that NTFS is the one that i have to maintain defagmentation.. not in other OSes  that I know  Linux,MacOS
[15:13] <codingenesis> Pici, :)
[15:13] <mneptok> kukulambar: and i am telling you that defragging NTFS is mostly pointless.
[15:14] <Ormie> hi
[15:14] <Ormie> sorrymyeng?
[15:14] <Ormie> >.>
[15:16] <kukulambar> mneptok: wow  are you telling the folks at redmond create a pointless feature http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363911%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
[15:18] <downloader> Is it not possible to install ruby on rails from the repositories?
[15:18] <h00k> !info rails | downloader
[15:19] <Myrtti> kukulambar: "In a wide range of modern multi-user operating systems, an ordinary user cannot defragment the system disks since superuser (or "Administrator") access is required to move system files. Additionally, file systems such as NTFS are designed to decrease the likelihood of fragmentation."
[15:19] <downloader> h00k: Isn't version 3 the latest (and has been for a long time?)
[15:19] <Myrtti> kukulambar: what was your actual support question?
[15:20] <kukulambar> how to defrag in Ubuntu and i got it
[15:20] <h00k> downloader: there's a gem you can grab that has 3, I think the repository has an older refersion
[15:20] <h00k> *reversion
[15:20] <radiske> hey guys, i need some help with backup
[15:20] <h00k> downloader: *version. I need more coffee.
[15:21] <downloader> h00k: Yeah, my question is why do I have to use a gem?
[15:22] <radiske> im using this guide to backup http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[15:22] <tati|2> guys, Im thinking to format my pc and install completely ubuntu, in that way is supossed to be faster than with wuby no?
[15:22] <radiske> but now i have to restore and im getting errors
[15:23] <h00k> downloader: because the repository version is not up-to-date. Why it's not, I don't know, but maybe the packaging team needs some help ;)
[15:25] <mike_yung> h00k,  re: http://instagram.com/p/N_Ut-cBShT/   It turns out this is from Ubuntu's installer after all.   I can answer your question now.  No, I'm not being asked if I want to boot from the HD.  The installer goes to this graphic pretty early in the install.  First thing I see is the SYSLINUX version & copyright info.  2nd line is loading boot logo...    Then it goes to the graphic & waits and waits & waits.
[15:25] <magicalChicken> tati|2: yes that should be better than wubi, and you can always just shrink your old os partition and dualboot
[15:26] <tati|2> ok....I'll make a backup and try
[15:26] <tati|2> thanks
[15:28] <Asad2005> can i use an SSD drive as a cache drive in ubuntu?
[15:28] <luwei> #kernelnewbies
[15:28] <elfranne> strange question when you have a terminal open get username@computername is it possible to put a time stamp in there ?
[15:28] <h00k> mike_yung: You should be able to press ESC and see what it's doing, if it is on the loading screen. Does that get you anywhere?
[15:29] <radiske> is there any way to undo auto remove?
[15:30] <mike_yung> Thanks h00k, I was trying alt-F1.  I'm sure it will be downhill from here.
[15:30] <radiske> i did that with an upgrade and my server are completely screwed
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> elfranne: trivial. see the 'bash prompt howto' or just use byobu ;)
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> !prompt
[15:30] <Asad2005> I have read an artickle on native zfs on ubuntu, now if a make a mirror pool of 2 drives can i use that as home partition

[15:35] <genewitch> end_guy: did you install the restricted drivers?
[15:35] <_pHI_> r1
[15:35] <end_guy> genewitch: jockey doesn't report that there are any available..
[15:37] <jamiejackson> found a workaround for audacity's missing menu: export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 && audacity
[15:38] <genewitch> jamiejackson: you can just do UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 audacity
[15:38] <AdvoWork> when doing say ls -all whats the 4096 i keep seeing?
[15:38] <jamiejackson> ok, thx genewitch
[15:38] <genewitch> AdvoWork: the size of a directory
[15:38] <unless> Hello folks!
[15:39] <genewitch> AdvoWork: also "-all" is the same as "-al" you might be looking for "-alh"
[15:39] <unless> Where can I find older Ubuntu versions to download?
[15:39] <David23400> I've installed lubuntu on my 1.7GHZ CPU 512MB RAM PC and its SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW , what i do?? ( is it because i've installed it with windows installer?)
[15:40] <genewitch> unless: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> David23400  wubi :(
[15:40] <genewitch> David23400: that's a really slow machine. i bet it's hammering swap
[15:41] <David23400> this is because of wubi?
[15:41] <mneptok> David23400: mostly, yes.
[15:41] <W4sp> David23400: Does it swap?
[15:41] <David23400> what is swap?
[15:42] <genewitch> David23400: ... using hard disc as ram
[15:42] <unless> genewitch, do you know a good stable lighter version of Ubuntu to download if 12.04 is quite heavy to my machine please?
[15:42] <mneptok> David23400: you are running Ubuntu from a disk image stored on a Windows NTFS partition. anything that uses the disk goes through an entirely needless extraction layer.
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> unless  try lubuntu
[15:42] <David23400> I dont know , how can i know
[15:43] <genewitch> MonkeyDust: he is on lu
[15:43] <David23400> So i format a drive and install lubuntu from boot?
[15:43] <David23400> to be fast?
[15:43] <genewitch> David23400: you can check top in a terminal
[15:43] <jing> hey guys, I'm trying to build vlc from source, but 'apt-get build-dep vlc' is giving me errors I don't understand. Can someone tell me how to resolve this issue: "libbluray-dev : Depends: libbluray1 (= 1:0.2.2-1~precise1) but it is not going to be installed"?
[15:43] <mneptok> David23400: you free up disk space or get an unused disk, and run the Lubuntu installer by booting from the image.
[15:43] <genewitch> control shift "t" and type "top" when the black window comes up
[15:43] <unless> MonkeyDust, I don't like the visual changes is happening on Ubuntu actually, so I prefer a old version instead.
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> jing  vlc is in the repos, no need to build it
[15:44] <mneptok> genewitch: "free -m" is much more user friendly for checking swap usage.
[15:44] <David23400> mneptop do you mean i burn lubuntu on a CD and run it in boot?
[15:44] <David23400> and then i installed it on a drive?
[15:44] <escapeplan> What can I do to make Docky intellihide the menu if I cannot use gconf nor make the docky glowing in the settings

[15:44] <n00bzz> hello, how in XFCE can i add mouse cursors i downloaded?
[15:45] <David23400> mneptok with this way , can i use just some parts of a drive like on wubi? for example just 20gb of a drive for lyubuntu without wiping it ?
[15:45] <jing> where can I read about PPAs and how they work?
[15:45] <mneptok> David23400: yes. just get that space unused by Windows, or use a disk with existing free space.
[15:46] <mneptok> David23400: unpartitioned free space
[15:46] <kristenbb> what is the gnome-settings-daemon and why is it using 100% of my cpu (or at least one of my cores) ?
[15:46] <David23400> mneptop can you just tell me which ubuntu is fit for my PC with these specs: 1.7ghz 512ram? I want it to be really smooth and without laggs
[15:47] <David23400> mneptok can you just tell me which ubuntu is fit for my PC with these specs: 1.7ghz 512ram? I want it to be really smooth and without laggs
[15:47] <mneptok> David23400: our opinions on "smooth" may be vastly different. so i can't say. but Xubuntu or Lubuntu is probably a good choice.
[15:48] <mneptok> David23400: please do not repeat yourself so quickly
[15:48] <David23400> Sorry i thought you havent be nick alarmed because i had typed your name wrongly
[15:49] <David23400> And thanks for the infromations , do i download lubuntu from here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu
[15:49] <mneptok> David23400: i'm well trained to respond to most names. my wife is a really tough woman. ;)
[15:49] <David23400> :))
[15:49] <n00bzz> hello, how in XFCE can i add mouse cursors i downloaded?
[15:49] <mneptok> David23400: if you installed via Wubi, don't you already have the installer .iso file?
[15:50] <David23400> Does it download the ISO with wubi?
[15:50] <David23400> Where is it saved?
[15:50] <mneptok> David23400: how did you getthings running via Wubi?
[15:50] <mneptok> David23400: you had to go download *something*
[15:51] <David23400> wubi downloaded and insatlled at the same time itself
[15:51] <David23400> I dont know if it downloaded ISO file and then installed
[15:51] <Luig1> Hello
[15:51] <mneptok> David23400: got a CD burner and a blank CD?
[15:51] <David23400> yes i have
[15:52] <mneptok> David23400: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
[15:52] <Luig1> I'm trying to pick a laptop on which to put Ubuntu 12.04. It has to be HP or Lenovo (due to certain blanket discounts I'd be eligible for from those two manufacturers) and the sticking point for me is the graphics card
[15:52] <Luig1> I've been burned by Intel graphics before
[15:53] <mneptok> David23400: download that, and use whatever burning software you have to create a disc from that image file. reboot, and boot off CD.
[15:53] <Luig1> So I'd been working under the assumption that nvidia would work best with Ubuntu
[15:53] <David23400> Okay thanks , i hope you will be here when i'm installing it
[15:53] <Luig1> But now I'm starting to wonder if a cheaper AMD board with a Radeon card might not work just as well for graphics purposes
[15:53] <David23400> So i remove the current lubuntu?
[15:53] <Luig1> Does anyone have any input on this?
[15:53] <mneptok> David23400: you can if you like. it's eating space in your Windows partition.
[15:53] <bieb> I have an ubuntu 10.10 server.. when I rdesktop into it anytime I type a "d" it minimizes the application on the server.. ie.. I have a console open and type sudo.. as soon as the d is typed, the console window minimizes. Any idea where I can shut this behavior off?
[15:54] <mrthompson> Luig1: I am running 12.04 on a Lenovo G575 with upgraded 4gb of Ram, runs really well
[15:54] <kristenbb> what is the gnome-settings-daemon and why is it using 100% of my cpu (or at least one of my cores) ?
[15:54] <David23400> I remove it by running wubi?
[15:54] <mneptok> Luig1: do you need workstation-like performance? e.g. full 3D hardware rendering?
[15:55] <Luig1> mneptok, I want to test new games moving to the platform and I also don't want to get left behind by hardware-accelerated interfaces, as has happened on this machine
[15:56] <Luig1> Which has a Intel graphics chipset, g675 I think
[15:56] <Luig1> Just a moment, I can look it up
[15:57] <mrthompson> meh, yeah the lenovo g575 is a lower end unit. not much to write home about it
[15:57] <reasearcher123> my pc working well. But some sites like way2sms, facebook take eternal to open.What can I do?
[15:57] <mneptok> Luig1: i have a Lenovo x120e with an AMD APU (E350). it works fine, but is not a powerhouse laptop. also, last i tried, the proprietary AMD driver did not work at all. however, the FLOSS "radeon" driver does 2D fine, and that's all i need.
[15:57] <Luig1> I see
[15:58] <Luig1> So what kind of 3D rendering does it offer you?
[15:58] <mneptok> Luig1: also, be aware that Intel graphics have made great strides. ask John Carmack.
[15:58] <mrthompson> yeah, my g575 has a dual core AMD w/ AMD Vision GPU
[15:58] <Luig1> G965 is the one I have
[15:58] <mrthompson> its not that great on games, but i mostly use terminal anyway
[15:58] <Luig1> My Intel graphics chip I mean, it's G965
[15:59] <reasearcher123> am I heard here
[15:59] <DarkAceZ> lolno
[15:59] <DarkAceZ> yes :P
[16:00] <mneptok> Luig1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wt-iVFxgFWk#t=2775s
[16:01] <n00bzz> keep on topic guys
[16:01] <n00bzz> !ot
[16:01] <mneptok> n00bzz: excuse me?
[16:02] <n00bzz> go in quakenet to talk about that, here it is #ubuntu support channel
[16:02] <n00bzz> not carmack fan channel
[16:02] <mneptok> n00bzz: the video discusses the state of Intel FLOSS drivers
[16:03] <n00bzz> is intel floss drivers ubuntu?
[16:03] <mneptok> n00bzz: it is of value to someone deciding on Ubuntu-capable hardware.
[16:03] <n00bzz> for hardware there is other channel
[16:03] <n00bzz> hehe
[16:03]  * mneptok waves to n00bzz
[16:03] <n00bzz> ok sowwie
[16:03]  * mneptok knows the channel rules.
[16:04] <Luig1> Hmm, thanks for the video mneptok
[16:04] <mneptok> n00bzz: please click URLs and examine their content before deciding they are off-topic. or ask an op in #ubuntu-ops to come and look if you are unsure.
[16:05] <Luig1> I'd be willing to go to a hardware channel if my questions are disrupting the channel flow
[16:05] <mneptok> Luig1: it may change your outlook on embedded Intel graphics.
[16:05] <gopu> Hi guys
[16:05] <Luig1> Well getting shafted by them has significantly impacted my outlook on them
[16:05] <gopu> I need your help
[16:05] <Luig1> Since this card barely goes
[16:05] <mneptok> Luig1: TBH, the AMD APU is the first non-Intel setup i have owned in *years*. Intel stuff has tended to work very well.
[16:06] <n00bzz> mneptok: my engrish is very bad
[16:06] <gopu> How to backup my packages and OS so that i can use it further
[16:06] <mneptok> n00bzz: je parle Francais. et Quebecois *itou*.
[16:07] <mneptok> n00bzz: there are other ops with good French skills. come and find us if you think something needs attention.
[16:07] <n00bzz> mneptok: stop stalking me
[16:08] <Luig1> Well it says it right in your whois
[16:08] <Luig1> No stalking needed
[16:08] <n00bzz> :(
[16:08] <crackinwindow> Has anyone managed to get a gtx 560 SE running with ubuntu? The Nvidia drivers claim support for it but whenever I go to install it crashes on boot
[16:08] <n00bzz> you scare me guys
[16:08] <Luig1> Well it's just a right-click away in XChat :)
[16:08] <Luig1> Whois I mean
[16:08] <mneptok> OK, *now* we are heading off-topic. and i'm not helping. so let's all get back to Ubuntu stuffs.
[16:08] <DJones> Luig1: n00bzz This is probably getting offtopic :)
[16:09] <gmagno> hello, is there any console/text based application to do voice communication? Something like skype text based (without video, of course)
[16:09] <Luig1> See this is why I came here for graphics tips
[16:09] <Guest1547> n00bzz: it is natural to be scared :P
[16:09] <Luig1> All these things about driver config are way over my level
[16:09] <mneptok> Luig1: your choices were Lenovo and .... HP?
[16:09] <crackinwindow> Any help for me and my gtx 560 SE?
[16:09] <Luig1> Yes mneptok
[16:10] <mneptok> Luig1: ugh. if it was Dell, they are about to start selling laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed again.
[16:10] <Luig1> crackinwindow, sorry, I came here for the same type of help
[16:10] <Luig1> mneptok, that's where I got mine!
[16:10] <Luig1> Well, this is a desktop
[16:10] <Luig1> But it's an e520n
[16:10] <Luig1> n for Not Windows
[16:11] <crackinwindow> Luigi1 are you getting blank screens ofter installing the closed source drivers aswell?
[16:11] <Luig1> crackinwindow, I'm actually on Linux Mint right now :< but when I was using Ubuntu a few months ago I would get blank screens
[16:11] <mneptok> Luig1: not much i can help with, since i don't need 3D acceleration. but the consensus is that Intel is getting a LOT better.
[16:11] <Luig1> Usually during the boot process
[16:12] <crackinwindow> Same
[16:12] <Luig1> About 20% of the time it would boot normally for me, but that could just have been my specific circumstance
[16:12] <Luig1> So I would just keep doing cold reboots until I got to login
[16:12] <Luig1> And from there it would work well enough to do normal things
[16:12] <crackinwindow> Booting without them causes my desktop to hang aswel but using nomodeset would get me to login low graphics
[16:12] <Luig1> But this was just my Intel situation
[16:13] <Luig1> So I don't think I have any tips for yours
[16:13] <Ntemis> hi
[16:13] <Luig1> Hi Ntemis
[16:13] <crackinwindow> Normally that is the process for some cards to install the drivers but once I do I can no longer log in
[16:13] <n00bzz> mneptok: how can i add mouse cursor themes i downloaded?
[16:13] <Ntemis> i need help with y laptop lid
[16:13] <Ntemis> my
[16:13] <n00bzz> mneptok: xfce
[16:13] <Ntemis> when i close it nothing happens
[16:14] <Luig1> Ntemis, does suspend work normally?
[16:14] <Ntemis> i need to turn off screen
[16:14] <Ntemis> hmm
[16:14] <Ntemis> didnt try
[16:14] <Luig1> You could set a key combination to suspend
[16:14] <Luig1> And do that whenever you need to walk away for a few minutes
[16:14] <Luig1> But that doesn't fix the actual issue
[16:14] <luftikuss> I notice that two Ubuntu computers of mine have different UID and GID for users like mysql. This complicates restoring backups. Does Ubuntu provide means to assimilate UIDs and GIDs?
[16:15] <Luig1> Someone else might have a better solution
[16:15] <Ntemis> no it doesnt
[16:15] <Ntemis> i need to put laptop do a work and close my lid
[16:15] <Luig1> Hmm
[16:15] <Ntemis> even with open lid my screen doesnt shutdown
[16:16] <crackinwindow> frig ive been working on this issue for 3 days now
[16:16] <Ntemis> i can clearly see a white dim light
[16:16] <Luig1> I think that's in the power saving settings
[16:16] <Luig1> Oh, it's still backlit
[16:16] <Ntemis> yes backlit
[16:17] <litropy> Hi, All - hope everyone is doing well. I just need help remote desktop'ing into my computer from afar. I have everything se tup - this comp is on another connection. On the computer I want to access, I have checked: #allow other users to view your desktop #allow other users to control your desktop. What's next?
[16:18] <Ntemis> ok let me try something
[16:19] <Ntemis> ok solved :)
[16:19] <aether> litropy: You will need to know the IP addresses of the computers. You will also need to know how they both connect to the internet( assuming that you are trying to connect through the internet).
[16:20] <Luig1> Good to hear, Ntemis
[16:21] <AdvoWork> argh, i've got a problem, running XEN, with an ubuntu VM. I think the etc/fstab on that VM has broken, and I can't get it to boot. I'm connected to it via a VPN (i press ESC and I can see the Ubtunu 12.04 loading screen) but going no further. at thetop it says fsck from util-linux, and it seems to be stuck on stopping userspace boot any idea what it could be doing? i think /etc/fstab may have broken it but i dont know
[16:22] <n00bzz> what is a .tar.xz file?
[16:22] <Sculptor_> I want to access squid log according to date & time
[16:22] <th0r> n00bzz: you mean tar.gz?
[16:23] <n00bzz> th0r: no tar.xz, first time i see the xz
[16:23] <chris|> th0r, the same thing as a tar.gz, only that it is compressed with xz instread of gzip
[16:23] <brontosaurusrex> when starting mplayer from bash, is there a way to catch if exit was user pressing esc or usual EOF ?
[16:24] <n00bzz> chris|: what is difference between gzip and xz?
[16:24] <chris|> n00bzz, the algorithm used for compression
[16:24] <chris|> basically
[16:25] <llutz> brontosaurusrex: check "echo $?" after both cases, maybe they differ
[16:25] <Luig1> Well, in practical terms n00bzz
[16:25] <ripthejacker> where are the network manager files kept
[16:25] <Luig1> xz has better compression than either gzip or bzip2
[16:25] <Luig1> And tolerable speed
[16:25] <ripthejacker> i want to start the pppoe connection in a script please help
[16:25] <n00bzz> thank
[16:26] <Luig1> Whereas gzip has very high speed of compression and decompression
[16:26] <Luig1> But can't achieve the compression xz is capable of
[16:27] <n00bzz> thank, and what is the one with the best compression in all compression tool?
[16:27] <Luig1> So tar.xz and tar.gz are the same thing just with different tools to compress the tar file
[16:27] <Luig1> n00bzz, xz is the best
[16:27] <brontosaurusrex> llutz, they dont, exit code is always 0
[16:27] <brontosaurusrex> llutz, any other tricks?
[16:28] <Luig1> At least the best one which comes by default as far as I know
[16:28] <n00bzz> and 7z is better than rar, zip?
[16:28] <ripthejacker> how do i start pppoe connection using command line please help
[16:29] <llutz> ripthejacker: if your connection is configured in networkmanager, use nm-cli
[16:29] <Luig1> n00bzz, 7z compresses better than zip but isn't quite as fast
[16:29] <llutz> nmcli*
[16:29] <Luig1> I think xz will actually give you smaller files than 7z will though
[16:30] <Luig1> So I usually use tar.xz for everything
[16:30] <hwkiller-netbook> yeah, xz is very good.
[16:30] <Luig1> That is, when speed isn't an issue
[16:30] <n00bzz> we talk about how many % smaller?
[16:30] <Luig1> When speed is a priority I use gz
[16:30] <Luig1> n00bzz, depends on the file, so I can't say
[16:30] <ripthejacker> llutz, its not present by default there is no such file as nm-cli
[16:30] <ripthejacker> llutz, do you know where the bin files are present?
[16:31] <llutz> !find /bin/nmcli
[16:31] <llutz> ripthejacker: 11
[16:31] <llutz> ripthejacker: ^ see ubottu
[16:31]  * gitesh seeing it couple of times.
[16:31] <nichlas> Here is an article about compression, although it doesn't have 7zip it does have GZIP, BZIP2, LZMA, ZIP and Compress: http://blog.terzza.com/linux-compression-comparison-gzip-vs-bzip2-vs-lzma-vs-zip-vs-compress/
[16:32] <Luig1> For reference, xz uses LZMA2
[16:32] <Luig1> And 7zip uses LZMA
[16:32] <n00bzz> 15yr ago all i was using was ARJ
[16:32] <nichlas> Luig1: for many of the programs, you can select other than defaults.
[16:33] <Luig1> That's the case with 7zip yes, niceguyjames
[16:33] <Luig1> nichlas **
[16:33] <niceguyjames> Luig1: I hate 7zip!
[16:33] <Luig1> I've used 7zip with DEFLATE compression before
[16:33] <nichlas> n00bzz, arj was cool.. especially as it was easier to remember than lzh or whatsitsname
[16:34] <Luig1> (DEFLATE being the algorithm used by gzip and zip
[16:34] <nichlas> i like 7zip, it offers multi processor support.
[16:34] <xeon123> what's the purpose of the file: rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules?
[16:34] <Luig1> Usually I only do that when I have some really specific need, though
[16:34] <Luig1> Like wanting password-protected encryption in a split, compressed file or something
[16:35] <Luig1> So since I'm usually all those switches anyway I change to deflate just to speed it up a bit
[16:35] <chris|> xeon123, it makes sure that your network cards are always available by the same name
[16:36] <xeon123> chris|: Can I update that file?
[16:36] <silverghost> oi guys am in ubuntu 12.10 alpha 3 suppose when fina version comes out will i have to install a fresh copy or sudo apt-get update will do??
[16:36] <chris|> xeon123, sure, but why would you want to?
[16:36] <hellyeah> hey
[16:37] <DarkAceZ> yeah>
[16:37] <hellyeah> i want to check  btrfs file system there is no manual page for fsck.btrfs is there any web pages
[16:37] <Sculptor_> hey
[16:37] <Sculptor_> any one help about squid
[16:37] <Luig1> Cool, btrfs
[16:38] <Luig1> I'd be interested to see the answer you get HelenB_
[16:38] <Pici> !final | silverghost
[16:38] <Luig1> hellyeah **
[16:38] <xeon123> I've several images in Virtualbox that run on the same computer, and I'm tring to set up the network of that images. I'm talking about the rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules of each image.
[16:38] <hellyeah> luiq1
[16:38] <silverghost> cheers
[16:38] <hellyeah> whats ıp
[16:38] <Luig1> I need to be more careful about autocomplete in these huge channels :(
[16:39] <xeon123> chris|: I want to set eth0 and eth1 of each image.
[16:39] <llutz> xeon123: just remove the file, it will be recreated at boottime
[16:39] <nichlas> silverghost: most likely it will axplode before that ;)
[16:39] <hellyeah> Luig1:  whats up
[16:39] <nichlas> explode*
[16:39] <xeon123> llutz: ok
[16:39] <Luig1> hellyeah, I just mean I'd be interested to see the response
[16:39] <silverghost> hehe why nichlas
[16:39] <hellyeah> hmm
[16:39] <Luig1> I'd love to see btrfs become more widely-used
[16:39] <Luig1> Maybe someday it'll be the default fs in Ubuntu
[16:40] <hellyeah> what is default fs on ubuntu ext4
[16:40] <nichlas> silverghost: in my experience, the upgrades between alphas and betas have not been very graceful. But maybe they have become better :-)
[16:40] <Luig1> I think so yes, hellyeah
[16:40] <nichlas> silverghost, just don't expect too much
[16:40] <silverghost> hey thx buddy :) i will have to rethink now lol
[16:40] <hellyeah> Luig1:  i guess you know something about btrfs right
[16:41] <Luig1> hellyeah, from a theoretical standpoint I do
[16:41] <Luig1> I've never used it on my own machine
[16:41] <Luig1> So I don't know anything about fsck on it
[16:41] <hellyeah> as far as i know ext4 or ext3 is double linked list whereas btrfs is balance tree which is, i guess, similar to avl tree. How does it affect of performance issue i mean the change of structure
[16:42] <silverghost> When btrfs is released as v1.0 it will take ten years before it gets stable enough to be used in production
[16:42] <hellyeah> no i guess this question is theorotical
[16:42] <hellyeah> do you have any idea
[16:43] <Luig1> I think a lot of that benefit comes in scalability
[16:43] <hellyeah> or do you understand my question
[16:43] <Luig1> I do
[16:43] <hellyeah> okey
[16:43] <Luig1> It's a bit off-topic for this channel
[16:43] <hellyeah> because sometimes i am in trouble to use english it is not my native i am not so good at it
[16:43] <systemd0wn> Just installed 12.04LTS 64bit on my laptop and It has been very buggy. Frequent crashing, random "broken pipe" errors, overall not very good. Should I attempt the 32-bit version? Is it more stable?
[16:43] <hellyeah> Luig1:  i know but we can count this as small talk
[16:43] <gopu> How to backup my packages and OS so that i can use it further
[16:44] <Luig1> But binary trees are what's used to keep the fs data, yeah
[16:44] <Luig1> Instead of the usual lists
[16:44] <hellyeah> binary or balance
[16:44] <Luig1> binary
[16:44] <hellyeah> hmm
[16:44] <hellyeah> binary with (n nodes) i guess
[16:44] <hellyeah> right
[16:45] <Luig1> Yes. Well, B-trees are a type of binary tree
[16:45] <hellyeah> it must be hard to protext the connection between node in binary tree
[16:45] <hellyeah> and
[16:45] <Sculptor_> any one there
[16:45] <hellyeah> traverse in binary tree is harder than linked list
[16:46] <hellyeah> how does it make any performance raise i mean being binary tree
[16:46] <Luig1> Actually, I don't think the B in B tree specifically means binary
[16:46] <Luig1> I think it just means B
[16:46] <Luig1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree
[16:46] <Luig1> But that's enough of that
[16:46] <Luig1> This is a support channel, sorry :(
[16:46] <hellyeah> okey
[16:46] <hellyeah> :D
[16:47] <hellyeah> are uoy in #defocus
[16:47] <Luig1> No, I was here for a graphics question
[16:47] <Luig1> I'm at work :o
[16:47] <hellyeah> hmm
[16:47] <hellyeah> what type of graphic question
[16:47] <Sculptor_> any one help me about squid
[16:48] <Luig1> I intend to buy a laptop to put Ubuntu on, with specific rules about prices an manufacturers, etc
[16:48] <Luig1> But long story short
[16:48] <Luig1> I was asking about nvidia graphics
[16:48] <davi> iou
[16:48] <kartlos> hey guys, I was wondering whether applications written in java are permitted for submission to the ubuntu app store
[16:48] <Luig1> Compared to AMD Radeon chips
[16:48] <Luig1> The less expensive ones
[16:48] <moes> Unable to mount cdrom ??
[16:48] <alakoo> not sure but don't nvidia chips have better driver support
[16:48] <alakoo> used to be like that some time ago at least
[16:49] <Luig1> That's what I thought too alakoo
[16:49] <Luig1> But all of the laptops I can find with them would need bumblebee to work correctly
[16:49] <hellyeah> i guess
[16:49] <hellyeah> nvidia is expensive ones
[16:49] <Luig1> So AMD is starting to look easier to configure
[16:49] <Sculptor_> any one squid
[16:49] <Sculptor_> configuration squid
[16:49] <Luig1> Sorry Sculptor_ :(
[16:49] <hellyeah> and nvidia has better support i guess
[16:50] <hellyeah> google is your feiend in some cases Sculptor_
[16:50] <Sculptor_> thanks <hellyeah>
[16:51] <Sculptor_> any know access the log of squid according to time and date
[16:51] <Luig1> Actually, googling it is what brought me here, the wide range of models makes it hard to tell
[16:51] <louiemat> having problems with tty1 how to fix this problem
[16:51] <Luig1> I think if I could get a system with just one card, and that being an nvidia card, I might be better off
[16:51] <Luig1> But since that's not a configuration option...
[16:51] <Luig1> I'm a bit stuck trying to pick the best option
[16:52] <Luig1> mneptok also mentioned that intel HD is doing fine at this point
[16:52] <Luig1> So I'm not even sure who to pick
[16:52] <Luig1> Which is good I suppose
[16:52] <Luig1> Not ruling them out
[16:52] <Pici> !enter
[16:52] <mstenta> hey all, is there a key for the gnome apt repository that i can add to apt-key?
[16:52] <Luig1> Sorry Pici
[16:53] <hellyeah> Luig1:  i am sure there is some web site that compares such graphic things
[16:53] <maxjezy> can i report a bug here?
[16:53] <Luig1> hellyeah, phoronix I think
[16:54] <Luig1> I got a bit of good information from there, but their coverage seems to be hit or miss
[16:54] <hellyeah> maxiepax:  i guess you should use dpaste.com or ubuntu-paste
[16:54] <n00bzz> câline de bine
[16:54] <hellyeah> then copy paste the url here or ubuntu has bug forums that is spesific to bug report
[16:54] <Pici> !bugs | maxjezy
[16:54] <Sculptor_> check the log of squid according to time and date. Any one know
[16:54] <Pici> !fr | n00bzz
[16:55] <maxjezy> ok thnx Pici
[16:55] <n00bzz> Pici: lol
[16:55] <tech1> is there any logical reason whil opening a text based file with sudo will show a blank file(sudo gedit filename), but opening without sudo(gedit filename) will open it and can see the text... is it a bug?  i could see the data with sudo before but its only blank with sudo after i rebooted
[16:55] <hellyeah> Luig1:  i could suggest you some forums, yahoo answr such things
[16:55] <louiemat> can anyone help me in dealing with the TTY1 PROBLEM, HOW TO GET AROUND IT
[16:55] <hellyeah> tech1:  which file are you talking about
[16:56] <n00bzz> where can i get the list of all !warning command we can use here?
[16:56] <tech1> the file is my own gtk theme in /usr/share/themes/mytheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
[16:56] <tech1> i copied it to make my own theme, which works
[16:56] <hellyeah> may be prermission problem
[16:56] <Pici> !brain > n00bzz
[16:56] <tech1> but after rebooting i couldnt see it when opening with sudo, so i had to chmod777 my new folder to edit it without sudo
[16:57] <n00bzz> gracias, obrigado, merci, thank
[16:57] <n00bzz> :)
[16:57] <tking> sudo apt-get install update ... is showing  E; Unable to locate package upgrade
[16:57] <ripthejacker> llutz, where can i get more help about network manager?
[16:57] <ripthejacker> is it gnome or ubuntu implementation?
[16:58] <MoTec>  tking the command is just sudo apt-get update
[16:58] <ripthejacker> how do i start pppoe connection using cli?
[16:59] <louiemat> tech1 was that explanation fix for me
[16:59] <tking> MoTec, thanks
[16:59] <tech1> no that was me describing my own problem
[16:59] <llutz> ripthejacker: did you configure your connection unsing pppoeconf or networkmanager?
[16:59] <ripthejacker> networkmanager
[17:00] <louiemat> tech1 sorry
[17:00] <ripthejacker> actually i did with another program called rp-pppoe
[17:00] <llutz> ripthejacker: read "man nmcli" then
[17:00] <tech1> no prob.
[17:00] <ripthejacker> llutz, but now i use only network manager
[17:01] <llutz> ripthejacker: something like "sudo nmcli con up id "yourpppoeconntectionname" "
[17:01] <n00bzz> there is many factoids
[17:01] <adekto> how do i instal ubuntu (dualboot) wubi instal isnt working
[17:01] <branchman2> hello, wtf is going on with Ubuntu 12.04? Installing ia32-libs-multiarch requires bluez (!), esound (!!), gtk2-engines (!!!) and also libqt4-.. (!!!!) ! I don't want it, and I don't need it - why there is such dependency?
[17:02] <gitesh> adekto, what is the error?
[17:02] <adekto> wubi gives an error
[17:02] <m1chael> branchman2, why do you need ia32?
[17:03] <branchman2> m1chael: to run proprietary shitty server app
[17:03] <adekto> http://puu.sh/Paci
[17:03] <m1chael> branchman2, ia32-libs not enough?
[17:03] <foxy999> Is there a way to stop system actions with i use ctrl or alt and click something?
[17:04] <branchman2> m1chael: ia32-libs = ia32-libs-multiarch in 12.04
[17:04] <varty> any noobs like me ?
[17:04] <trism> branchman2: ia32-libs is just a metapackage to make it easy to pull in everything, you don't need it, just install the individual libname:i386 packages you need if you don't want everything
[17:04] <moes>  Unable to mount cdrom ??
[17:05] <adekto> why is wubi instaler broken?
[17:05] <gitesh> varty, hi.
[17:05] <varty> hi
[17:05] <ripthejacker> llutz, thanks :)
[17:05] <m1chael> branchman2, good to know,  hhhm now i see what you ment
[17:05] <varty> first time in irc since 1997
[17:05] <branchman2> trism: thanks - so libc6 is enough?
[17:06] <trism> branchman2: start there, but you may need to ldd the binary after that to see what else you need
[17:06] <branchman2> trism: y, thanks
[17:07] <luftikuss> I notice that two Ubuntu computers of mine have different UID and GID for users like mysql. This complicates restoring backups. Does Ubuntu provide means to assimilate UIDs and GIDs?
[17:07] <SnapSnap> I installed Google Chrome. I uninstalled it by doing "sudo apt-get purge google-chrome" I got the message "Virtual packages like google-chrome" can't be removed. I looked around online, then tried "sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable". That removed it, but when I look for it in the Unity dashboard, it still comes up, with a square white icon. When I click on it, nothing happens. Thoughts?
[17:08] <kishen> hey guys do u knw any open source javascript apps?
[17:08] <Pici> !offtopic | kishen
[17:08] <glebaron> there are lots of java-based installers that require ia32-libs, even if you are installing 64bit software.
[17:08] <varty> maybe you need to use the clean command ...
[17:08] <m1chael> SnapSnap, just remove google-chrome from /usr/share/applications, ls for google*
[17:09] <m1chael> SnapSnap, and check if chrome was removed from /opt/google/chrome
[17:10] <bilel> I've followed gmail instruction to make my emails using google apps, so I've changed my mx record configuration on my webserver to make it use gmail, is it possible to keep it this way but only enable smtp for sending emails and not receive on my webserver, with postfix.
[17:11] <bilel> because I'm limited for the sending with gmail, they blocked me after 20 emails sent
[17:12] <m1chael> just if somebody is intrested i found something that no one could answer for a couple of days. after removing pulseaudio i couldn't find a way to disable nautilus backspace alert sound. so, #gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences audible-bell false
[17:13] <moes>  Unable to mount cdrom ??
[17:14] <m1chael> moes, check in terminal if your in group cdrom by typing #groups
[17:16] <bitpimp> I can't reach the admin page of my new trendnet TEW-638APB wireless  point via the default <IP_ADDRESS>... any ideas?  Running 11.04 and connecting to access point via ethernet.
[17:17] <m1chael> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:17] <m1chael> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:18] <moes> m1chael, No response from #groups...The error I get initially is "cannot find in fstab"
[17:19] <m1chael> moes, it's groups not #groups, when a command is entered it should be marked by#
[17:19] <j|> what's up, people. Anyone know what regex I have to apt-cache search for to (possibly ironically) find the 'regex(7)' man page?
[17:19] <bitpimp> michael: weird, but nada on both those
[17:19] <bitpimp> old router is reachable
[17:19] <bitpimp> oops... that was m1chael
[17:20] <moes> m1chael, ray adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin nopasswdlogin sambashare
[17:20] <m1chael> moes, than it should work it has nothing to do in fstab
[17:21] <trism> j|: it is in manpages so you should already have it
[17:21] <Pici> j|: it should just be in the 'manpages' package.  I just used apt-file search /usr/share/man/man7/regex.7.gz
[17:21] <NuSuey> hi guys.. any normal way to make my ati 6850 .. work in ubuntu.. while having dual monitors turned on? :X it just gives me weird graphics etc :X
[17:21] <litropy> Eeek, I left this message and now my scroll history deleted any responses. Here it is again:
[17:21] <litropy> Hi, All - hope everyone is doing well. I just need help remote desktop'ing into my computer from afar. I have everything se tup - this comp is on another connection. On the computer I want to access, I have checked: #allow other users to view your desktop #allow other users to control your desktop. What's next?
[17:22] <moes> m1chael, ray@ray-desktop:~$ mount /dev/cdrom
[17:22] <moes> mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[17:22] <j|> apt-file, eh? that's a new one.
[17:22] <NuSuey> meh.. of course no help..
[17:22] <m1chael> moes, mount /source /destination
[17:23] <m1chael> moes, mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> !ati| NuSuey
[17:23] <j|> trism, Pici: thanks. I just realized for the last 10 minutes I've been frustratedly looking for 'regexp' in section 7
[17:24] <NuSuey> MonkeyDust: meh, thats old non-updated stuff.. im not new to linux.. jeez
[17:24] <m1chael> moes, cdrom automount should be taken cared of by hal
[17:25] <NuSuey> but having a pain in the ass to freaking work on linux if i cant have dual monitors turne on..
[17:25] <NuSuey> in that case i rather delete linux
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> hmm. dual monitors works well here
[17:25] <NuSuey> not on my 6850
[17:25] <NuSuey> ati
[17:25] <NuSuey> radeon
[17:26] <j|> Pici: wrt 'apt-file' any reason I should take some time to acquaint myself with this? (as opposed to doing the DIY dpkg --search? .. which for whatever reason I didn't think to do until your suggestion.)
[17:26] <m1chael> moes, but maybe i'm wrong
[17:26] <padhu> NuSuey: Multihead on ubuntu is very easy and nice also.
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> !hal
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> NuSuey  you could also help develop linux and submit an idea on !brainstorm
[17:26] <m1chael> moes, try to mount it manually and than proceed from there
[17:27] <m1chael> ubottu, yeah figured it exactly now
[17:27] <moes> m1chael, ray@ray-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
[17:27] <moes> [sudo] password for ray:
[17:27] <moes> mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> you are not mounting a music cd are you?
[17:27] <NuSuey> padhu: uh, whats multihead .. o.O i think i put it on aticonfig .. didnt solve a thing
[17:28] <NuSuey> but i guess i'll try some other distro.. which got the issues settled.
[17:28] <Dr_Willis>  /dev/cdrom is a link to sr0 or sr1 or sometimes sdb sdc or other sdX  could be the link is wrong
[17:28] <NuSuey> i allready wasted 3-6 hours with it
[17:28] <NuSuey> and im done
[17:28] <j|> NuSuey: if you're ready to delete linux just because it doesn't do exactly what you need it to do right out of the box, I suggest that you go ahead and do that and save yourself years of frustration.
[17:28] <moes> Dr_Willis, This is a backup dvd
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> NuSuey  that's the flexibility of linux
[17:28] <padhu> NuSuey: little bit of more details are needed. what about logs?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> moes:  when you insert it. check dmesg output
[17:29] <m1chael> Dr_Willis, you rule :>
[17:29] <NuSuey> j|: dude, i have two monitors.. + hdmi .. i can work on windows, on my hackintosh.. but .. linux got problems with the ati graphic card.. and i cant work on 1 freaking monitor if i got two..why would i work only on  one?
[17:29] <j|> NuSuey: you have to be willing to bang your head against the wall and learn doing it, even if you're wanting to move on and get to something else. Just my $.02, dude.
[17:29] <j|> NuSuey: I hear you, man.
[17:30] <m1chael> NuSuey, what is your setup?
[17:30] <NuSuey> j|: dude.. -.^ after work.. i dont need to do more work.. to make my linux able to do things i can do in my hackintosh or windows..
[17:30] <j|> I dunno what to tell you as I don't have that problem. Then again, I started with linux 15+ years ago when it was a marathon of hours of downloading to sets of floppy disks just to install the damn thing.
[17:30] <MDKAOD> Hey everyone. Does anyone have any information on installing older versions of Dell Openmanage on 12.04? It seems OM 5.4 is designed for RedHat but thats the latest version that works with my hardware.
[17:30] <NuSuey> m1chael: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&tmp_geoLoc=true&product=5068976
[17:30] <Icehawk78> I've got a mouse that has two buttons that default to changing the mouse sensitivity when I click them, that I'd like to remap to a keyboard shortcut. I can do this with some logitech software under windows, but can't figure out how to override the default behavior under Ubuntu. Any suggestions?
[17:30] <j|> NuSuey: I'm not trying to diminsh your frustration.  Grew up on Slackware until Debian mostly nailed package management.
[17:32] <moes> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/HjSEfUNA
[17:32] <m1chael> NuSuey, either
[17:32] <j|> NuSuey: anyway, good luck dude. ATI Radeon should be well supported. That driver has been around forever.
[17:32] <NuSuey> j|: i was a red hat fan at start.. after that used windows for many years.. now im .. more .. like.. mac os guy.. dont like windows much.. would love to have a working linux distro on my desktop :/
[17:32] <NuSuey> m1chael: yup.. installed the manual way..
[17:32] <j|> and Pici and trism, thanks for the pointer to the obvious.
[17:33] <NuSuey> m1chael: also tried to uninstall and use the open one..
[17:33] <trism> j|: apt-file works well to search packages that aren't already installed, dpkg -S will only search installed ones
[17:33] <trism> j|: and no problem
[17:33] <m1chael> NuSuey, does the driver works, can you access ati control panel?
[17:33] <NuSuey> the ati one gave me the problems.. and the open.. would fu.k with my system .. hang on startup (needed to use some other windows manager) and gave me weird sh1t
[17:33] <j|> NuSuey: yea, I use a mac for my personal laptop, but everything at work is cloud-based linux servers. I think linux is the best server OS bar none, but, like you, I don't want to fight with my drivers all day. ;)
[17:34] <NuSuey> m1chael: both drivers work.. kinda.. but both give me issues
[17:34] <m1chael> NuSuey, do you use one of theme now?
[17:34] <j|> you can't automate windows. and macs are great as long as you don't have to do anything that Apple didn't expect you to do... (which you always do eventually.)
[17:34] <j|> trism: ahhhh.. that's a significant advantage.
[17:35] <NuSuey> m1chael: i'll end downloading sometihng at windows..in a few minutes.. then i can reboot or something..
[17:35] <NuSuey> m1chael: but..
[17:35] <NuSuey> m1chael: the problems are many..
[17:35] <j|> trism: thanks. That's actually really really helpful.
[17:35] <NuSuey> m1chael: with the ati.. installed manualy.. installed stuff.. bla bla bla.. made .deb.. installed.. rebooted.. and i get only one monitor.. the other monitor is blinking..
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[17:36] <NuSuey> m1chael: both worked only if i had them mirrored..
[17:36] <m1chael> NuSuey, check with glxinfo if x uses ati driver and check direct rendering: Yes
[17:36] <NuSuey> jeez
[17:36] <NuSuey> diablo 3 worked via wine
[17:36] <NuSuey> rendering did work
[17:36] <NuSuey> but something is f.ed up
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[17:36] <NuSuey> i mean..
[17:37] <NuSuey> one thing was the compiz issue.. i had flickering when playing something fullscreen.. only worked on windowed mode..
[17:37] <m1chael> NuSuey, i see.
[17:37] <bilel> I've followed gmail instruction to make my emails using google apps, so I've changed my mx record configuration on my webserver to make it use gmail, is it possible to keep it this way but only enable smtp for sending emails and not receive on my webserver, with postfix.
[17:38] <NuSuey> and when i tried to enable the second monitor.. i did have an error.. about the max .. resolution (i googled and people suggested putting virtual screen in the config file) ..but didnt help
[17:38] <j|> bilel, yea, that's more of a postfix issue, but yea you can do that.
[17:39] <j|> bilel: either you can set postfix to check it's local recipient maps and have a mostly empty table (you should keep the one's for root and postmaster probably)
[17:39] <j|> bilel: and you can also just set up postfix to use a relay, so anything it does get gets relayed
[17:39] <NuSuey> m1chael: + the windows manager without effects did put me some weird stuff whenever i logged on.. so i had only a quarter of the screen left after like 20 reboots.. and it continues to shrink and shrink
[17:39] <NuSuey> REALLY weird stuff is happening
[17:39] <j|> bilel: those are not exclusively OR'd
[17:40] <j|> bilel: so, do both.
[17:41] <j|> bilel: or, at least do the relay_host. (man -s 5 postconf; search for '^ +relayhost')
[17:41] <m1chael> NuSuey, i also had issues like that with nvidia on my ubuntu 12 and on 9.1 everything was excellent, even cuda with triple head setup. i'm also experiencing strange things with +9.1 versions of ubuntu and graphics.
[17:41] <DarkAceZ> o/
[17:41] <j|> bilel: you can also, instead, just disable the SMTPD process
[17:42] <j|> bilel: to do that, you'd comment out the line in postfix's master.conf
[17:42] <m1chael> NuSuey, got to the point that i put my gtx 285 back in the closet and now i'm using ubuntu 12.04 on intel onboard.
[17:42] <NuSuey> m1chael: :/ i guess we are unlucky.. thought you have an idea what could help me.. i dont know.. would some other distro help me or it woulbe e all the same?
[17:42] <bitpimp> while connected to my wireless access point via ethernet, I can
[17:42] <bitpimp>           reach past it to my modem (<IP_ADDRESS>), can reach the web, but
[17:42] <bitpimp>           can't reach the WAP at it's address (<IP_ADDRESS>)... tried two WAP's
[17:42] <bitpimp>           with the same result.  Help.
[17:42] <j|> bilel: but you should probably keep it listening on a local socket and not disable it all
[17:42] <bitpimp> oops
[17:42] <bitpimp> sorry about that
[17:42] <FloodBot1> bitpimp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:42] <bitpimp> a pasting accident
[17:42] <j|> bilel: anyway, that's probably enough info for you to figure it out I hope..
[17:43] <m1chael> NuSuey, you can try installing the driver than run the machine with other enviroment like openbox or kde and see if it's gnome related issue?
[17:43] <m1chael> NuSuey, i didn't do it yet because my computers are rack mounted and i'm lazy
[17:44] <NuSuey> m1chael: nah it's not only gnome.. tried other windows managers..
[17:44] <NuSuey> just the fulscreen-game thing was a compiz issue..
[17:44] <m1chael> NuSuey, gnome is an enviroment and not windows manager ;)
[17:45] <NuSuey> meh.. blah blah :P m1chael
[17:45] <m1chael> NuSuey, did you try forcing dual head with xorg.conf
[17:45] <NuSuey> m1chael: yup
[17:46] <m1chael> NuSuey, i'm trying to get to the reason that proprietary driver are not well supported under linux that suck
[17:46] <m1chael> NuSuey, i'm trying to get to the reason that proprietary driver are not well supported under linux, this thing suck sorry
[17:46] <NuSuey> m1chael:  i mean i could use the distro.. but i would have to use one monitor instead of two..and i dont wanna do that
[17:47] <NuSuey> no clue.. if i will try other distros.. (dont think that will help) .. but will see. or i'll stick to dual booting windows and my hackintosh
[17:47] <j|> NuSuey: yea, agreed. I don't know when the hell ATI Radeon support became flakey, but that sucks.
[17:47] <m1chael> NuSuey, i still use a windows box just not to waste precious time like this because nvidia and ati don'
[17:48] <OerHeks> gnome3/unity + compiz = bad.
[17:48] <m1chael> NuSuey, i still use a windows box just not to waste precious time like this because nvidia and ati don't support all the cards like thay should have
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> linux and nvidia are not the best of friends
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> or ati
[17:48] <ThinkT510> OerHeks: unity is gnome3 + compiz
[17:49] <DarkAceZ> that's cuz nvidia <3 windows
[17:49] <j|> Haven't used gnome3
[17:49] <DarkAceZ> and anything <3'ing windows sucks
[17:49] <DarkAceZ> :P
[17:49] <j|> just heard the negative hype when it was being released
[17:49] <m1chael> ThinkT510, no it isn't
[17:50] <m1chael> DarkAceZ, thumb up for that
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> i use xfce, never liked gnome3
[17:51] <ThinkT510> m1chael: unity is based on gnome3 and uses compiz (thats what i meant)
[17:51] <m1chael> ThinkT510, don't take it too serious we're just having fun
[17:52] <j|> MonkeyDust: xfce, huh?
[17:53] <m1chael> whats all this noise about this gnome 3 anyway gnome2 rules i didn't understood why they moved to gnome 3 unity desktop
[17:53] <j|> MonkeyDust: any reason you like that WM? anything against black/fluxbox?
[17:53] <ThinkT510> m1chael: because gnome2 is no longer being developed
[17:53] <ThinkT510> m1chael: it is a dead codebase
[17:53] <MonkeyDust> j|  no reason, i'm used to it now
[17:53] <j|> MonkeyDust: xfce was one of the WMs that I just never got what features made it appealing.
[17:54] <j|> MonkeyDust: haha, yea, that's always the most significant determining factor. :)
[17:54] <m1chael> ThinkT510, so, windows is also a dead code and everyone uses it with no problem
[17:54] <ThinkT510> m1chael: no, it is supported code, gnome2 isn't
[17:54] <j|> m1chael: XD
[17:55] <Gary_inNYC> Why does Precise Pangolin keep forgetting that LibreOffice Writer is supposed to be permanently docked?
[17:55] <OerHeks> m1chael, when it is free, people complain, why is that ?
[17:55] <jmoiron> has anyone figured out how to install compiz 0.8.6 on precise
[17:56] <j|> gnome2 was a mess, but it mostly worked and looked nice. trying to administer hundreds of gnome2-based machiens and automate things like updating people's preferences via configuration mgmt wasn't fun though. Are the preferences a little cleaner of a framework in gnome3?
[17:56] <ThinkT510> jmoiron: compiz is installed by default
[17:56] <jmoiron> ThinkT510: compiz 0.9.8 is installed by default
[17:56] <ThinkT510> jmoiron: why do you want the earlier version?
[17:57] <m1chael> OerHeks, that's not the right question, people afraid from change. anyhow, if it works why waste time on making something new. never understood that. gnome 2 was fine and absolutly capable of everything so why the change
[17:58] <jmoiron> because i've run out of patience with 0.9.x;  features i rely on seem to be getting buggier each release
[17:58] <Gary_inNYC> m1chael: in all fairness, we could say that about users comfortable with Windows 95
[17:58] <j|> m1chael: again, the one thing that I never really felt was clean and understandable to make work was setting preferences in gnome2
[17:58] <jmoiron> and i don't use unity so in theory the 0.8 series should work
[17:58] <j|> m1chael: but that could just be my ignorance.
[17:59] <j|> I tried to learn about it, but the documentation was scattered across desktop standards and tools that were half-documented etc etc
[18:00] <j|> so I ended up always just finding some one-time hack that would work.. not impossible most of the time, just a bit hard to find the logic within. for me, anyway..
[18:00] <jmoiron> there's a ppa for it but all of the builds failed :\
[18:00] <nibbler_> hi. whats a lightweight dns server that i could use on my ubuntu gateway, just to forward dns queries to some dns server in the internet (with logging)?
[18:01] <jmoiron> i've used dnsmasq for that in the past, don't recall if it had logging
[18:01] <m1chael> j|, never had troubles with gnome2, i had multi monitor setup 5040x1050 resolution running until 9.1+ composition and everything. gnome 3 pretty much ruined my life. moved since than to lfs running gnome 2 for development and ubuntu 12.04 for home use.
[18:01] <nibbler_> ah right, thats the name i was looking for jmoiron, thanks
[18:01] <jmoiron> nibbler_: np.
[18:02] <Gary_inNYC> so does anyone else have issues with unity bar not remembering certain icons being docked?

[18:03] <bitpimp>           Memory:e3900000-e3920000', any ideas what this is?
[18:03] <j|> m1chael: lfs? really? so no package management or anything?
[18:04] <j|> m1chael: or do you just build and then use apt.* anyway?
[18:04] <luftikuss> 'man mysqldump' dated  04/19/2012 uses the switch -u but does not explain its effect. What is the effect of -u ?
[18:05] <n2diy> can I run a cable from my router in the living room into the basement, and connect another router to it, to use multible computers in the basement?
[18:05] <kurtwp_> n2diy: sure
[18:05] <Gary_inNYC> n2diy: set up the second router as a dummy access point
[18:06] <Kingsy> ok people.. I think my graphics driver is in a little bit of a state.. I had nvidia installed then I changed my card to a AMD, so I installed the catalyst control drivers using the additional drivers menu, they seemed buggy so I removed them using the same tool and ubuntu seemed to install the open radeon ones by itself.. but now I am getting horrible performance.. like jumpy screensavers and such.. can someone tell me what I have done wrong? and how
[18:06] <j|> anyway. back to work. good chatting w/ some of you.
[18:07] <kurtwp_> n2diy: just plug the cable in the LAN ports on the second your not the WAN port
[18:07] <Kingsy> someone mentioned earlier today that I need to reinstall a few things and totally reconfigure xorg or something? then install the propriety drivers from the ATI website?
[18:07] <webpageuse> hello
[18:07] <Kingsy> but I am not really sure what I am doing tbh, so I thought I would try and get some help / advice..
[18:07] <Gary_inNYC> n2diy: also disable DHCP on the secondary router
[18:07] <Kingsy> anyone available to chat about that?
[18:08] <webpageuse> anyone got knowledge about authlog?
[18:08] <Gary_inNYC> n2diy: assign a static ip to the router functioning as access point that is outside the range of the primary router's dhcp range to avoid conflict
[18:09] <n2diy> ok, thanks all.
[18:10] <m1chael> j|, from scratch
[18:11] <m1chael> j|, no pm
[18:11] <webpageuse> is it normal when there is delete user guest in authlog?

[18:13] <theadmin> BLZbubba: I assume you'd need to click /dev/sda in the list before the button becomes active.
[18:14] <viktor> hi! i just got a card reader for a smart card which i *really* need to get to work. but the card reader isn't recognized. i found a site saying this is a bug and i should revert to a package in debian unstable (don't know how to do this). and if i open the app for using the card it says to check if the pcsc daemon is started. any help pls?
[18:14] <RomeoAva> after install windows fonts all the browsers are in bold fonts
[18:14] <webpageuse> group added to /etc/group: name=guest-5z7RxE, GID=128
[18:15] <webpageuse> i never add that?
[18:15] <theadmin> viktor: You can't "revert to a package in Debian", Ubuntu and Debian aren't compatible. Whoever wrote that is wrong.
[18:16] <viktor> theadmin, it says those packages are found in the debian unstable repository, maybe that's different?
[18:17] <orated> Hello! My system motherboard failed that I'm not able to boot Ubuntu. But I thought I if I can try the HDD on another working system as USB-HDD. I inserted my drive in portable HDD and tried to boot but it gives following error - libcrypt version: 1.5.0 Could not stat the resume device file /dev/sda7 Please type in the full path name to try again or press enter to boot the system - From LiveUSB boot I found that sda7 is swap partition. When I try to
[18:17] <theadmin> viktor: Well, mixing repositories *will* break your system.
[18:17] <orated> boot from USB-HDD without having any other HDD in the system, it boots fine but with any other HDD, USB-HDD gives above error. Is there a way to fix it?
[18:18] <theadmin> orated: You need to use UUIDs instead of directly specifying devices in fstab and GRUB
[18:18] <m1chael> orated, you should edit fstab
[18:18] <viktor> theadmin, ok, let's not do that then. but any idea how i get the card reader to work? it's a logon lcr002, i can't seem to find anything of a driver
[18:19] <theadmin> viktor: "check if the pcsc daemon is started" =>  service --status-all | grep pcsc
[18:20] <webpageuse> is that log got problem? pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "hockloon"
[18:20] <orated> theadmin: m1chael So, from LiveUSB I should change /dev/sda7 in fstab with its partition UUID? and sudo update-grub?
[18:20] <theadmin> orated: Pretty much, in the kernel commandline.
[18:21] <m1chael> orated, it depends the grub your using
[18:21] <orated> theadmin: Um, I didn't get what you mean by kernel CLI?
[18:22] <orated> m1chael: Sec, I'll check that
[18:22] <viktor_> theadmin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1132981/ no pcsc, there is pcscd?
[18:23] <m1chael> orated, the line should look something like this UUID=a7dc5bcd-0e79-4d7c-8028-e38f6acfc9a4  /     ext2    errors=remount-ro 0       1
[18:23] <theadmin> viktor_: That's the one, it's not running so "sudo service pcscd start"
[18:23] <m1chael> or4n, in fstab.
[18:23] <theadmin> orated: Well, that's in the grub configs, I'm not sure
[18:24] <mabe> stupid question... but is it possible to use a kernel w/o initrd? I just compiled one myself, but although it does boot successfully it shows me a couple of errors like "failed to create pty" and so on...
[18:24] <theadmin> mabe: Yes, it is. Gentoo kernels are usually initrd-less, for example.
[18:24] <m1chael> orated, check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Combining_the_use_of_UUIDs_and_basic_scripting
[18:24] <klj613> how can i find out why shutdown/restart doesnt work? it halts on the loading part, but the actual gif (image) doesnt update. so all 5'ish dots are always white
[18:25] <webpageuse> can anyone answer this question?
[18:25] <mabe> theadmin: I guess the shown errors are non-critical? full message goes like this : "failed to create pty - disabled logging for job \ no such file or directory"

[18:26] <theadmin> Paola: sudo apt-get install icedtea-6-plugin
[18:26] <theadmin> viktor_: How about "service pcscd status"?
[18:26] <Paola> after  again command   ?
[18:26] <webpageuse> is dvbvXq intented?
[18:26] <klj613> theadmin, the issue is related to ATI drivers / dual monitors / xorg. should i still try that trick?

[18:28] <The_Cog> cloudgeek: I think it's around 4k
[18:28] <theadmin> m1chael: That's the wrong way to do it.
[18:28] <theadmin> webpageuse: Don't run m1chael's command, it doesn't update the environment properly, use "sudo -i"
[18:29] <m1chael> theadmin, y is that?
[18:29] <dabears2> hi
[18:29] <webpageuse> i just want to know anything odd

[18:36] <Paola> theadmin  virtualbox ose i try this on windows xp but is work driver for webcam on virtualbox ose ?
[18:37] <Kingsy> theadmin: I know the driver I am using the is open radeon 6800 series one
[18:37] <theadmin> Paola: Speak English, please, that made a negative amount of sense.
[18:37] <webpageuse> i never create guest-dvbvXq, how come it exist in log?
[18:37] <theadmin> webpageuse: GNOME has a "guest session" tool.
[18:37] <webpageuse> any verification?

[18:37] <naasei> how do i copy a text from the chat?
[18:37] <webpageuse> but my ubuntu version is 12.04 LTS
[18:37] <theadmin> Kingsy: /etc/X11/. Deleting it will just make X autoconfigure rather than use a predefined configuration which NVidia drivers create.
[18:38] <webpageuse> so is it unity by default?
[18:38] <Kingsy> theadmin: and do you have to reboot to get it to reconfigure?
[18:38] <Paola> I have virtualboxose i try on windows xp but i can install on webcam in virtualbox on windows in Ubuntu  ?
[18:38] <theadmin> webpageuse: Unity = Gnome with a nifty skin on top.
[18:38] <webpageuse> and i never install gnome
[18:38] <theadmin> Kingsy: No, just restart X (alt-prtsc-k)
[18:38] <felipe__> e0t4
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Paola: you need the closed source one for raw usb access
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> webpageuse: unity is the default shell n Ubuntu and it still uses Gnome3 as the desktop
[18:39] <naasei> how do i copy text from a chat
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> naasei: which client?
[18:39] <theadmin> naasei: Um, Ctrl-C?
[18:39] <Kingsy> theadmin: that key combination did nothing..
[18:39] <ls612> Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?
[18:40] <alo21> hi all
[18:40] <naasei> from this chat
[18:40] <Gary_inNYC> i have an annoying issue with Precise, and after looking around, i discovered it existed since April of 2011, which puts to question quality control LTS : https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71471397/Screenshot.png
[18:40] <theadmin> Kingsy: Uh, where did you press it? It's supposed to be pressed in a running X session. Either way, you can just "sudo service lightdm restart || sudo service gdm restart"
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> naasei: yes, which client are you using to connect to this chat
[18:40] <alo21> is there a way to add jamendo in RhYthmbox 2.96?
[18:40] <Kingsy> theadmin: umm ok
[18:40] <naasei> x-chat 2.4.4
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Gary_inNYC: are there bugs reported?

[18:41] <Paola> theadmin i can install flashplugin-nonfree     ????
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> naasei: swipe the text as you expect and hold left click then press CTRL+C
[18:41] <Gary_inNYC> ActionParsnip: yeah it's in the forums, but there doesn't seem to be any followup
[18:41] <theadmin> Paola: No reason to do that.
[18:41] <Paola> oh
[18:41] <naasei> thank you
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Gary_inNYC: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[18:41] <Paola> but again slow youtube ? :-w :-?
[18:42] <Paola> theadmin  but again slow youtube, why  ? :-w :-?
[18:42] <RomeoAva> what do you recommend about gnome tweak tool. I have problems in browsers with fonts, they are Bold
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Paola: can you give a pastebin of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -i | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      Thanks
[18:43] <RomeoAva> many people sad that: First, Install the Gnome tweak tool.
[18:44] <Kingsy> theadmin: just rebooted.. restarting the services just seemed to hang.. I am back in the OS now but  there isnt a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ at all now
[18:44] <Kingsy> theadmin: how is it possible that I can see an output on the monitor without an xorg.conf?
[18:44] <Gary_inNYC> ActionParsnip: this was a fresh install of the latest LTS on a separate user's machine, which I don't have on hand.  I was just a little annoyed since it's a confirmed bug that shouldn't have survived to LTS:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/753304
[18:44] <theadmin> Kingsy: And that sounds just right. X autoconfigures if there isn't one. You only need one in weird situations.

[18:46] <theadmin> Kingsy: Well those two sound entirely unrelated.
[18:46] <Doxin> what API provides the individiual volume control per app? I'd like to write a python script to monitor and change volume per application. any pointers?
[18:47] <orated_> theadmin, grub.conf file in etc ?
