[00:00] <bestdnd> thanks
[00:00] <judahitewarrior7> I have Ubuntu 12.10 and I have problems switching to different Hebrew fonts in LibreOffice Writer. It will not switch from the default Hebrew font Lohit Hindi. Can anyone please help?
[00:00] <demonio1> thanks PatrickDickey ubottu i'll see they now :)
[00:01] <sybariten> PatrickDickey: when using lubuntu, will i be using the same repositories as someone using ubuntu? (mind you, i'm no wizard of package management)
[00:01] <dr_willis> sybariten:  yes
[00:01] <sybariten> PatrickDickey: in other words: will i have the same big choice of software, or will there be restrictions
[00:01] <dr_willis> its just a differnt desktop on top of the core of the os
[00:01] <PatrickDickey> sybariten: yes, and in fact, you can install ubuntu-desktop afterwards.
[00:02] <sybariten> aha ok
[00:02] <PatrickDickey> judahitewarrior7: You might find more help in #libreoffice or #ubuntu-il
[00:03] <demonio1> PatrickDickey ubottu just a faster question the filesystem /usr/bin is different that /etc?
[00:03] <PatrickDickey> demonio1: You'll probably want to Google Linux Filesystem for more information.
[00:03] <dr_willis> demonio1:  you partion a hard drive. then put a filesystem on the partion.  /usr and /etc are directories
[00:03] <dr_willis> demonio1:  the wikipedia may be handy to read up on also
[00:04] <dr_willis> partion a hd -> format the partions to be whatever filesystem you need them to be.
[00:04] <jazzkutya> ubottu's entry for !filesystem is pretty much misleading here
[00:04]  * PatrickDickey is off to work now. :S
[00:04] <buntuBen> sybariten, I just downloaded 12.04 64-bit today from ubuntu.com, it comes out at 728MB
[00:04] <dr_willis> Its discussing the layout of the linux filesystem.
[00:05] <dr_willis> filesystem is  fairly broad term :) depending on how its used
[00:07] <dr_willis> demonio1:  no need to msg me./  i tend to ignore most messages
[00:07] <dr_willis> demonio1:  and linux supports dozens of filesystem types.
[00:08] <BillyZane|2> hey dr_willis :)
[00:08] <demonio1> ok dr_willis but can u do an example of filesystem?
[00:08] <demonio1> pls
[00:09] <BillyZane|2> demonio1: hi
[00:09] <demonio1> hi BillyZane|2 :)
[00:09] <BillyZane|2> demonio1:  i might be wrong on this, but ext3 and ext4 are the main partitions you want to install ubuntu on. regarding what file systems are supported for mounting purposes, i can verify that NTFS is supportorted, and probably Fat32
[00:10] <BillyZane|2> you can't view ext3 and ext4 on windows, but you can view NTFS on linux

[00:12] <Alien__> hey
[00:12] <Alien__> I have a question.. Is it possible for me to run ubuntu in read-only mode?
[00:12] <anoos> HI is there a method by which a regular user can see how long his own user account has existed on a system?
[00:13] <Alien__> like run my HDD normally unless I want to start doing risky activities like going on a public network I can set it to read-only..
[00:13] <Nimrod2012> How the hell do I disable secure boot?
[00:13] <ikonia> Nimrod2012: it's a bios feature
[00:14] <Nimrod2012> It doesn't seem like it can be changed in my bios
[00:14] <sylphie> anoos \ yes. in a console terminal type "cd ~" and "ls -l ,,/yourusername"
[00:15] <anoos> oh duh
[00:15] <Nimrod2012> So is it possible to get ubuntu to boot on this?
[00:15] <sylphie> anoos \ yes. in a console terminal type "cd ~" and "ls -l ../yourusername" (two dots, not commas, sorry)
[00:15] <Nimrod2012> I already removed windows 8 :/
[00:15] <anoos> sylphie: thanks i feel dumb now
[00:15] <ikonia> Nimrod2012: yes, thre are various solutions to secure boot and linux in general, with various pros/cons
[00:15] <JonEdney> So apparently (without noticing), I set the "System Reserved" portion of the Windows partition as boot.  I've never seen what is normaly set as bootable, is it the / partition?
[00:16] <ikonia> JonEdney: it really shouldn't matter
[00:16] <JonEdney> Alright, we'll let's give 'er a whirl!
[00:17] <sylphie> Alien__ \ that wouldn't work too well. the os is always writing log files etc etc
[00:17] <Alien__> I mean have my files run in RAM
[00:17] <Alien__> I was thinking of setting a livecd or something to do this on
[00:17] <Alien__> :)
[00:17] <dr_willis> Alien__:  may be safer to just run your browser in some sort of vm/sandbox.. but i belive you are getting into Tinfoil Hat Paranoia level security here
[00:18] <Theodore> hello
[00:18] <dr_willis> a Live cd is Read only anyway :) so no need for it to be in ram..
[00:18] <Theodore> when does ubuntu os for androids become released for download/install?
[00:18] <dr_willis> Theodore:  we have no idea.
[00:18] <Theodore> ok thank you dr_willis
[00:19] <BillyZane|2> omg, i just moved a file on linux using commands
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> i shouldn't chit chat in here
[00:20] <Nimrod2012> Lol
[00:20] <daftykins> no, you'll get attacked
[00:20] <dr_willis> BillyZane|2:   Bash Basics 101. :)
[00:20] <meebey_> vith: :-D
[00:20] <sylphie> you've joined the underground
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> :D
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> i feel so l33t
[00:20] <Nimrod2012> :/
[00:21] <Alien__> Actually... I need tinfoil hat security
[00:21] <Nimrod2012> I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu
[00:21] <Alien__> cant explain why >:D
[00:21] <Alien__> evil computer guy
[00:22] <sylphie> Alien__ \ either you write what's in memory back to disk, and take all the same risk, or you lose everything you've done when you shut down
[00:22] <dr_willis> evil computer guy using freenodes web irc chat.... ;)
[00:23] <sylphie> Alien__ \ if you want really paranoid secure, you could try openbsd
[00:23] <BillyZane|2> i think he left...
[00:24] <sylphie> oh
[00:24] <sylphie> why do people keep doing that in mid conversation?
[00:26] <daftykins> sylphie: you must have that effect
[00:26] <swarm> not that this is relative to ubuntu but can people hop on my vent server? I need to test it. <IP_ADDRESS> port 3785 no pass
[00:26] <sylphie> what is a vent server?
[00:27] <swarm> ventrilo
[00:27] <sylphie> oh
[00:27] <swarm> voice client server
[00:27] <BillyZane|2> ohhh, ventrilo is old school
[00:28] <TheRoot> http://pastebin.com/vHkssVAJ   Official HRB War Report 13-13-13 2:45pm PST (-8GMT)
[00:29] <BillyZane|2> what is the name of the linux font?
[00:30] <sylphie> which one?
[00:30] <k1l> BillyZane|2: "the linux font"? ubuntu go an own font called ubuntu
[00:30] <BillyZane|2> the terminal font
[00:30] <BillyZane|2> the one you would see on a BSD
[00:30] <sylphie> iso859, I think
[00:31] <k1l> BillyZane|2: that is a ubuntu support, not a bsd support
[00:31] <BillyZane|2> oh
[00:31] <BillyZane|2> yeah, i was just wanting to change the font on KViRC
[00:31] <k1l> BillyZane|2: for chitty chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:32] <BillyZane|2> k
[00:34] <sylphie> I think Alien__ might have had the right intentions, a concole window just opened on my screen, excuted a command, and close the window before I had a chance to stop it
[00:35] <sylphie> danger Will Robinson
[00:37] <kslater> haha! I'm back.   Took a look at some documentation, even changed the boot flag to different partitions.
[00:41] <kslater> daftykins: don't cry for me. God will keep me here as long as He pleases. When he's ready to pull the plug, I have to be ready too.
[00:41] <febul> Hey everyone. I have Ubuntu + Windows 7 installed and am using GRUB2 to boot into each. When I try to boot into Windows 7, I get "Disk read error..." all of a sudden. How can I fix it?
[00:42] <JonEdney> I still can only boot to 12.10 after installing it next to Windows 7.  Selecting Windows, just refreshes the GRUB screen.
[00:42] <Mensch-Maschine> 10.04.4, no X. My caps lock led doesn’t lit up, does any of you know where/how I should configure this?
[00:44] <islan> hey, is anybody familiar with installing drivers for laptop wireless?
[00:45] <daftykins> just ask your question islan
[00:45] <islan> well I'm trying to get a driver installed for BCM 43142 wireless network adapter, but it seems the only working solution is an amd64 deb package
[00:46] <islan> there's an i386 variant, but it gives an error, directory does not exist
[00:46] <dr_willis> and the exact error is?
[00:46] <islan> here, let me see if I can run it again
[00:46] <islan> the package is wireless-bcm43142-dkms-<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb
[00:47] <daftykins> uh-huh
[00:47] <xubuntu> buenas
[00:48] <islan> now running dpkg -i..
[00:48] <islan> okay, on THIS package I got an "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-21-generic (i686)
[00:49] <Guest60787> buenas
[00:49] <islan> now opening the make.log
[00:49] <islan> here is the error:
[00:49] <islan> /var/lib/dkms/wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms/<IP_ADDRESS>~bdcom0602.0400.1000.0400/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:50:24: fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory
[00:49] <islan> compilation terminated.
[00:50] <dr_willis> islan:  you need the various kernel headers and stuff installed i imagine
[00:51] <TradeFortress> ok, my ubuntu server seems like it has being compromised
[00:51] <islan> well I have the kernel-headers installed, unless there are more I need
[00:51] <TradeFortress> I looked in access logs and error logs
[00:51] <TradeFortress> But it was missing a whole day.
[00:52] <islan> the instructions I found said to do: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | grep -Po "\-[a-z].*")
[00:52] <islan> but when I do that, it returns "linux-headers-generic is already the newest version"
[00:52] <TradeFortress> is there any other log files that could give me more info?
[00:53] <BillyZane|2> how do I get my sound card drivers? I have a creative sound blaster Z, it's really new. the creaitve website doesn't even have linux drivers for it
[00:53] <islan> Dell can't even seem to give me a .INF driver to try ndiswrapper
[00:54] <TradeFortress> Ok *no* logs show Jan 12th
[00:54] <TradeFortress> auth.log, access.log, error.log all start at Jan 13th.
[00:54] <daftykins> islan: drivers are always available on the Dell site. maybe you're not extracting it right?
[00:54] <islan> dafty, they have .exe
[00:54] <islan> can extract .inf from that?
[00:54] <daftykins> islan: yep
[00:55] <daftykins> islan: you'd have to run it ideally though ;)
[00:55] <islan> dafty, how so?  I tried Archive Manager
[00:55] <daftykins> TradeFortress: if nobody logged in on the 12th, auth.log would have nothing?
[00:55] <daftykins> islan: on Windows i mean :> link me and i'll try and help
[00:55] <TradeFortress> daftykins: but I logged in on the 12th..
[00:55] <islan> ohh, I have to do it on Windows?
[00:55] <daftykins> islan: easiest way imo
[00:55] <TradeFortress> and the server was hacked on the 12th given mysql timestamps
[00:56] <daftykins> TradeFortress: that's what i was asking. sounds like someone edited your logs then perhaps
[00:56] <islan> daftykins, this should be the driver: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/GetDriver/InitiateSingleFileDownload?fileId=3080878754&driverId=F9WG9&isInstallAvailable=False&isKCSArticleTobeShown=False&categoryId=CM&returnUrl=%2Fsupport%2Fdrivers%2Fus%2Fen%2F19%2FProduct%2Finspiron-15-3520%3FretrieveState%3DTrue&isUSDownload=true
[00:57] <islan> but it looks really big to be a driver
[00:57] <daftykins> long link is looooooong
[00:57] <iLogical> When I click on Account Settings on empathy to add an account it shows this window in the middle, how can I add an account? I even registered on ubuntu one, but I don't see where to do it there http://i.imgur.com/0q1vC.png
[00:57] <daftykins> 308MB OMFG.
[00:57] <TradeFortress> daftykins: OK, I see Jan 12th actually but I have "Received disconnect from" an IP address in China
[00:57] <iLogical> I am using qantal
[00:57] <TradeFortress> does that mean they got in the server? or failed to connect?
[00:57] <daftykins> TradeFortress: well they'd have had to have had root access to edit the logs
[00:58] <daftykins> islan: this file is 308MB and is going at 55KB/sec ;/
[00:58] <islan> dafty, yeah, I think it's a full driver-handling application for Dell drivers or something
[00:58] <IdleOne> iLogical: #ubuntuone might be more helpful with this
[00:58] <daftykins> islan: speeding up, 15m ETA
[00:58] <TradeFortress> I wanted to know if "Received disconnect from <IP_ADDRESS>: 11 : bye Bye [preauth" means that they got in
[00:58] <TradeFortress> Or not.
[00:58] <JonEdney> TradeFortress, what log file is that from?  That's a pretty generic entry.
[00:59] <daftykins> TradeFortress: it means whoever was connected, disconnected... be it a connection attempt fraudulently or successfully. the message is pretty obvious
[00:59] <TradeFortress> JonEdney: it is from auth.log
[01:00] <JonEdney> TradeFortress, it's a general disconnected entry as daftykins mentioned.
[01:00] <JonEdney> What kind of precautions are you using on your server to swirve hack attempts?
[01:00] <TradeFortress> Alright. Is it possible for me to find if they successfully connected or not?
[01:00] <JonEdney> <-- works for a web hosting company, looks at this stuff all day
[01:01] <iLogical> IdleOne, I mean to add a facebook account
[01:01] <iLogical> I don't even know if it has anything to do with ubuntu one?
[01:01] <harris> h
[01:01] <iLogical> !!*
[01:02] <JonEdney> TradeFortress, you may want to check out #ubuntu-server for more server-direct support.  They may help lead you in the right direction.
[01:02] <harris> when i double click a .docx file how do i make it open in my ms office 2007 word running in wine
[01:02] <TradeFortress> alright, thanks JonEdney
[01:02] <BONG_IT> how can i update my ubuntu
[01:03] <JonEdney> Sure thing, good luck.
[01:03] <islan> BONG_IT,  sudo apt-get update
[01:03] <harris> BONG_IT,  open terminal
[01:03] <Guest88142> I have 8gig of ram do I really need 8gig of swap?
[01:03] <harris> BONG_IT,  sudo apt-get update
[01:03] <usr13> BONG_IT: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:03] <islan> Guest88142, that seems like awful lotta swap to me
[01:04] <harris> when i double click a .docx file how do i make it open in my ms office 2007 word running in wine
[01:04] <islan> Guest88142,  I've only seen it recommended 64MB to 128MB
[01:04] <usr13> harris: Why not use libreoffice?
[01:04] <harris> i need ms office
[01:04] <harris> i have my reasens
[01:05] <IdleOne> iLogical: no, won't have anything to do with UbuntuOne. I believe you need to allow the app in facebook first though. I'm not entirely sure how this is done.
[01:05] <JonEdney> harris, you should be able to select Wine as a default application?
[01:05] <Guest88142> yeah but my default install took 8 gig could I reduce it to maybe 4 or 2 gig I only surf internet e-mail play some light games and tinker with inkscape and lmms
[01:05] <BONG_IT> theres ab error
[01:05] <usr13> harris: Since MS Office is not a native application, I think you'll just have to start MS Office first and then open the file.
[01:05] <JonEdney> Guest88142, swap is for when your PC/laptop hibernates, so it can save your current used RAM.
[01:06] <Guest88142> I don't do either
[01:06] <JonEdney> I've heard that if you should match it if you have under 8 GBs.
[01:06] <usr13> Guest88142: How large is your HD?
[01:06] <JonEdney> I don't hibernate, I have 8 GB RAM, I do not use swap space.
[01:06] <harris> i right clicked properites and open with a wine application when i double click nothing happens
[01:06] <Guest88142> my hd is 32gig
[01:06] <JonEdney> harris, because MS Office is working through Wine, you may not be able to link it as a default program.
[01:07] <usr13> JonEdney: There is not a good reason not to.
[01:07] <harris> i could in 9.04
[01:07] <Guest88142> if thats how its gotta be thats ok I was just wondering
[01:08] <JonEdney> I've never ran into an issue with no swap space *shrugs
[01:08] <usr13> Guest88142: That's a pretty small HD
[01:08] <Guest88142> well I know there has to be some
[01:08] <julian-delphiki> well, you don't really *need* swap, its just very useful if you have a small amount of ram
[01:08] <islan> daftykins, so do you think that Dell driver might be a dead-end yet?
[01:09] <Guest88142> true
[01:09] <usr13> Guest88142: As JonEdney points out,  you can do without it, but it's not the recommended method.
[01:09] <JonEdney> I just live life on the edge.
[01:09] <daftykins> islan: it keeps speeding up and slowing down :( i have half of it so far
[01:09] <daftykins> islan: if you can wait i'm happy to.
[01:09] <usr13> JonEdney: It's a computer, not life  ;)
[01:10] <JonEdney> I work infront of it for 10 hours a day, I know no difference :)
[01:10] <wesam_> Hey. So I came here yesterday and someone told me to get CR OS. How should I burn this to a DVD?
[01:10] <Guest88142> na I'll leave at 8gig thanks guys goodday to ya
[01:11] <buntuBen> grub question: why after removing a failed hard drive in which the OS does not reside do I come to a grub rescue prompt? I just booted with a live cd and reinstalled grub, but am just curious why grub requires an unused drive to be present.
[01:11] <TradeFortress> ok, could anyone just tell me how I can find out if someone logged in successfully to my server or not.
[01:11] <ikonia> buntuBen: depends where you grub files are stored
[01:12] <ikonia> buntuBen: and also if removing the hard disk changes the device order/names/references
[01:12] <buntuBen> ikonia: grub files are stored on /dev/sde2; I removed /dev/sdf
[01:12] <islan> if I switch from 32-bit to 64-bit Ubuntu and I only have 4 GB RAM, I'll probably take a performance hit right?
[01:12] <JonEdney> TradeFortress, there would be a log entry with an IP that indicated connected, just as the one that said disconnected.
[01:12] <ikonia> buntuBen: so it's more likley to be a change in reference in the device names
[01:12] <ikonia> islan: doubtful
[01:12] <TradeFortress> JonEdney: I don't see anything from that IP that says connected
[01:12] <ikonia> islan: certainly nothing to the nakes eye
[01:12] <BillyZane|2> hi. I have a creative sound blaster Z, are there linux drivers available for this card?
[01:12] <TradeFortress> Does that mean they haven't successfully connected?
[01:12] <buntuBen> ikonia: as in sata order on the mb?
[01:13] <wesam_> Someone?
[01:13] <ikonia> TradeFortress: do you have any concerns that you have been compromised
[01:13] <ikonia> buntuBen: mb ?
[01:13] <islan> ikonia, it seems like a fix to my problem might work if I switch to 64-bit, which would be nice
[01:13] <buntuBen> ikonia: motherboard
[01:13] <dagaz> hi.. I guess Xchat put me into the wrong place.....is this also support for puppy precise?
[01:13] <wesam_> How do I burn an OS to a DVD so it's bootable?
[01:13] <ikonia> buntuBen: as in the OS reference/identifier on the hard disk
[01:13] <ikonia> dagaz: no, it's not
[01:14] <buntuBen> wesam_: are you using ubuntu?
[01:14] <julian-delphiki> !derivatives | dagaz
[01:14] <buntuBen> ikonia: thanks, just scared me at first after booting and seeing grub rescue>
[01:14] <wesam_> I'm using Jolicloud, stupidly. Which is made from Ubuntu.
[01:14] <ikonia> and also not supported here
[01:14] <dagaz> k . thanks
[01:15] <julian-delphiki> TradeFortress: likely in /var/log/auth.log
[01:15] <ikonia> buntuBen: I wouldn't be massivly concerned, more so as you appear to have fixed it
[01:15] <wesam_> buntuBen: I'm using Jolicloud, stupidly. Which is made from Ubuntu.
[01:15] <buntuBen> wesam_: right-click on iso file, if it still uses that from ubuntu, and "write to disc..."
[01:15] <TradeFortress> ikonia: yes, I run a wallet for a digital currency called bitcoins
[01:15] <wesam_> buntuBen: Will try, thanks.
[01:15] <TradeFortress> some attacker took $2.5 worth but still compromised it.
[01:15] <ikonia> TradeFortress: then re-install your OS with new passwords
[01:16] <ikonia> TradeFortress: make sure you don't put back any of the files from the old server
[01:16] <bunjee> K3b help?
[01:17] <wesam_> buntuBen: It's awn, but I tried this before and when booting, it just froze at "Booting from onboard CD: _"
[01:17] <bunjee> can I convert TG file to ISO?
[01:17] <ikonia> that's not a question
[01:17] <julian-delphiki> bunjee... TG = tuxguitar, right?
[01:18] <bunjee> sorry......RAR archive
[01:18] <buntuBen> wesame_: try burning at slowest write speed possible, and use burnproof.
[01:18] <winterpk> good morning
[01:18] <julian-delphiki> bunjee, extract the rar, make new archive, burn to disk?
[01:18] <bunjee> yes....no clue how to
[01:19] <wesam_> buntuBen: I already started it.. But it seems stuck at finalizing like it did before. Should it be going this slow?
[01:19] <wesam_> It says 100% done, finalizing.
[01:19] <wesam_> The loading bar is the bouncing thing.
[01:19] <winterpk> This isn't exactly Ubuntu related but I'm having trouble with a serverbuild in which I'm planning on installing ubuntu on.  My problem is that the hard drives are not showing up in the bios. I've zero'd and formatted them.  Does anyone know what I might be missing?
[01:19] <ikonia> winterpk: try ##hardware
[01:20] <daftykins> winterpk: in BIOS? PATA/SATA?
[01:20] <ikonia> winterpk: we only deal with ubuntu issues here
[01:20] <winterpk> SATA in bios
[01:20] <wesam_> winterpk: Check your BIOS up and down. But yeah, ##hardware is where you should go.
[01:20] <winterpk> sorry ikonia
[01:20] <buntuBen> wesame_: does it sound like your cd is still spinning, or did it spin down?
[01:20] <daftykins> winterpk: so i take it by extension, the OSs you boot never see them?
[01:20] <winterpk> I've checked everywhere, just not showing up.  I'll head to HW channel.  Thanks for pointing me in the rigth direction guys!
[01:20] <wesam_> buntuBen: It's wesam_. And Yeah, its spinning, so I guess it's still going.
[01:21] <winterpk> daft: I have no OS yet, and bios doesn't see them at all
[01:21] <buntuBen> wesam_:my mistake, and yes, I would let it continue. If you told it to verify after burning that might take a while too
[01:22] <daftykins> winterpk: i'd ignore that and see what liveCDs see
[01:23] <julian-delphiki> daftykins... there is no way the OS will see them if bios does not
[01:23] <daftykins> julian-delphiki: not often true in rare circumstances.
[01:23] <SaschaP> ok... amarok does not even start
[01:24] <islan> daftykins, so do you think I should just install 64-bit Ubuntu and try this other work-around?
[01:24] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: it sounds like you have issues with your install, maybe
[01:24] <daftykins> islan: i'm seconds away now.
[01:25] <harris> what are the menues in the top left corner called
[01:25] <ikonia> islan: I suggest resolving your hardware issues before looking at software
[01:25] <ikonia> islan: sorry, wrong guy
[01:25] <islan> daftykins, I'm worried with what you'll find with that file size
[01:25] <SaschaP> julian-delphiki; yes, my phonon makes problems (system: ubuntu 12.04, upgraded to this version on friday, xfce-desktop)
[01:25] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: you could reinstall xubuntu?
[01:25] <daftykins> islan: most of the time it has every version under teh sun, then you can chop out the Windows driver easy. do you happen to know which Windows versions driver works best with ndiswrapper though? newer?
[01:26] <islan> dafty, I guess, some have reported it not working, others have reported it working
[01:26] <SaschaP> julian-delphiki: it's ubuntu with xfce and reinstall? i only upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 on friday
[01:26] <daftykins> islan: Dell 1704?
[01:27] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: considering 12.10 is current... it's worth a shot
[01:27] <julian-delphiki> or even upgrading to 12.10
[01:27] <islan> dafty, yep, that's the Dell name anyway
[01:27] <islan> daftykins, it's really a Broadcom BCM 43142
[01:27] <daftykins> islan: sure, just extracting now
[01:27] <islan> thanks a bunch!
[01:27] <SaschaP> julian-delphiki: why should i overinstall a lts with a testing version?
[01:28] <daftykins> islan: hrmm other decision, is 32 or 64-bit
[01:29] <islan> dafty, I'm running 32-bit ubuntu
[01:29] <daftykins> islan: yeah, i'll guess with 32 then :S
[01:29] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: 12.10 is not testing...
[01:29] <daftykins> islan: you don't know any free file hosting sites do you? :D
[01:30] <islan> daftykins, um, dropbox?
[01:30] <wesam_> h
[01:30] <getschomp545> i switched to VT, and its asking me for a login…used the login which i use to login to ubuntu, but keep receiving "login incorrect"
[01:30] <wesam_> Okay, working. buntuBen: It's still going on, man.
[01:31] <SaschaP> i have a philosophy: never use the last so called "stable" version of a system... it everytime worked with windows :P ... and the problem seems to be something in the glib or qt-area
[01:31] <daftykins> islan: PM'd you a link
[01:31] <SaschaP> and this problem makes me really began to relove windows XP...
[01:31] <SaschaP> or my 11.10
[01:31] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: and you're sure you're up to date on updates?
[01:31] <SaschaP> yes, julian
[01:32] <wesam_> SachaP: sudo apt-get upgrade usually fixes all your problems.
[01:32] <wesam_> and then a nice apt-get upgrade.
[01:32] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: could try reinstalling the packages.
[01:33] <Xorifelse> Can anyone here help resolve my issue with grub/burg? It does not seem to load the interface, just the o.s. selection screen
[01:33] <SaschaP> julian, if i try to purge phonon or gstreamer, the apt-get asks me to delete half of my system... including things like libreoffice
[01:33] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: don't purge then? apt-get install --reinstall phonon gstreamer
[01:34] <Xorifelse> apt-get purge "package"
[01:34] <julian-delphiki> Xorifelse: no.
[01:34] <julian-delphiki> Xorifelse: what is burg?
[01:34] <Xorifelse> Uuhm.
[01:34] <Xorifelse> That is an grub boot loader
[01:34] <julian-delphiki> ah ok
[01:34] <IdleOne> Xorifelse: try #grub or #burg
[01:35] <Xorifelse> Iĺl try that, thanks
[01:35] <julian-delphiki> I don't believe burg is standard in ubuntu, but i guess ic ould be wrong
[01:35] <IdleOne> julian-delphiki: you aren't
[01:35] <Xorifelse> It is not standard
[01:36] <Xorifelse> But thanks, iĺl try it in #grub
[01:36] <SaschaP> i already tried to reinstall phonon, but it didn't make anything
[01:37] <SaschaP> and sorry, but "apt-get -install --reinstall gstreamer" would only bring out the error, that there is no "gstreamer" package
[01:38] <julian-delphiki> not -install, just install, and sorry.
[01:38] <julian-delphiki> !find gstreamer
[01:38] <SaschaP> yeah, but "gstreamer" is not found ;)
[01:39] <SaschaP> and reinstalling everything would be quite crazy, especially that it make a mistake ( gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner : Kollidiert mit: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[01:39] <SaschaP> )
[01:40] <moes> Using startup disk creator in Ubuntu-12.04.1 on a 16 gb flash drive...fat 32 will only allow 4.3 gb persistence file....How can I increas to 8 gb??
[01:45] <wesam> Guys, I'm pissed.
[01:46] <Guest16777> The DVD gets 100% burned, ejects, and says everything is okay. But when I boot the DVD, it does nothing. It just sits at the "booting from CD" screen.
[01:46] <daftykins> Guest16777: nice.
[01:46] <daftykins> oh pissed that way
[01:47] <wesam098> Haha yeah. That way.
[01:47] <wesam098> I have no idea what to do I alreadu used three DVDs.
[01:47] <wesam098> I'm trying to make a CR OS DVD.
[01:48] <harris> ow can i open microsoft word 2007 as my default program in linux
[01:48] <julian-delphiki> harris... you can't without a lot of trickery
[01:48] <wesam098> You can't use Word in Linux.
[01:48] <harris> using play on linux
[01:49] <daftykins> wesam098: your downloaded image could be busted. you tried md5'ing it?
[01:49] <wesam098> daftykins: Whatting it?
[01:50] <somsip> !md5 | wesam098
[01:50] <daftykins> somsip: ty sir
[01:50] <wesam098> somsip: Wait what is this.
[01:51] <wesam098> ubottu: I'm using a CR OS Iso. Not trying to install Ubuntu. I'm asking here because I'm using Ubuntu right now.
[01:51] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, it's a way of verifying file integrity.
[01:51] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: How?
[01:52] <julian-delphiki> jesus, wesam098, did you read the link?
[01:52] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: What do you think I am, some kind of animal? Of course not.
[01:53] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, where did you download cros from
[01:53] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: The official website.
[01:54] <wesam098> Okay, what does this output mean?
[01:54] <wesam098> Cr_OS_Linux.i686-2.4.1290
[01:54] <wesam098> oops.
[01:55] <cub> i have a q
[01:55] <cub> if i install 12.04... and i dont like it, can i revert back to 10.04?
[01:56] <daftykins> cub: via upgrade? no
[01:56] <cub> i just want to keep my current theme
[01:56] <cub> i dont like all that fancy stuff with the unity desktop
[01:57] <cub> right now i have it setup looking like old windows 95 or kde back in the day ...lol
[01:57] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: md5sum: Cr_OS_Linux.i686-2.4.1290.iso: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found
[01:59] <k1l_> !notunity | cub
[01:59] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, you want to md5sum the iso
[02:00] <cub> what do you mean by "investigate gnome tweak tool"?
[02:00] <bfri> can anyone walk me through a fileshare set up
[02:00] <cub> where would i find this? in applications or?
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098 and compare against the md5
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098 http://images.4channel.org/f/src/katawa_crash_beta_8-36.swf
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: oops wrong text
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: 39251925cfee3843924b1585024afc76
[02:00] <k1l_> cub: its for gnome-shell
[02:00] <bfri> I want to turn up encryption
[02:01] <cub> ok
[02:01] <cub> one more question
[02:01] <cub> do i really need to upgrade to 12.04?
[02:01] <julian-delphiki> bfri: what do you mean
[02:01] <skp1> cub: yes or you will die
[02:01] <cub> lol come on
[02:02] <cub> let's be real
[02:02] <k1l_> cub: gnome2 is gone. so you have to find a new way. you can choose the gnome2 lookalike gnome-classic, whihc is a cut-off version. or you try xfce or lxde or other desktops
[02:02] <alcaprawn> cub:
[02:02] <alcaprawn> ;) update
[02:02] <k1l_> cub: support ends for the desktop version end of april. so we recommend it
[02:02] <cub> okay thank you k1l_
[02:03] <cub> so i'm guessing updates will also end then/
[02:03] <k1l_> yep. that is the point. only the server packages get stll updates after april
[02:03] <cub> ic
[02:03] <alcaprawn> what window manager do you guys use gnome?
[02:04] <cub> well i got 3 months to decide..
[02:04] <cub> idk if this pc will be able to support the new gnome... it's old
[02:04] <k1l_> after 12.04 there is no difference betweeen server and desktop anymore. so that gets 5 years support for both
[02:04] <alcaprawn> what you running cub?
[02:04] <k1l_> cub: see xfce or lxde
[02:05] <cub> i'm running this off of an old HP Compaq, 15gb harddrive and like idk 1 gb of ram
 They're both the same.
[02:06] <k1l_> cub: than you should look out for those i mentioned
[02:06] <daftykins> cub: stay where you are
[02:06] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Also, they're no such file or directory for /dev/cdrom apparently.
[02:07] <k1l_> daftykins: that is no option in a EOL end of april
[02:07] <daftykins> k1l_: sure, depends if the user cares or not though
[02:08] <k1l_> daftykins: well, that is the users decision but not the ubuntu recommended way. and while we are here we recommend that way :)
[02:08] <daftykins> k1l_: roger that, enjoy thy rather tall horse
[02:08] <k1l_> daftykins: m(
[02:08] <daftykins> :D
[02:09] <daftykins> i meant that at your smugness, carry on
[02:09] <cub> heh
[02:09] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: ok, then your file is fine
[02:09] <k1l_> if you come and support alle the users who get in trouble because you told them so, im fine with that. but i dont think that is gonna happen. so i would like to stick to the common way in this channel
[02:11] <Pbwizkid> Hello all!
[02:11] <daftykins> k1l_: you're taking this way too seriously.
[02:11] <alcaprawn> who's using conky then?
[02:11] <plaguedoctor> Hello, I have an hdmi cable hooked up to the TV, but there is no audio, how to get the audio working for the TV?
[02:12] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: you need to change the device that sound is being output over
[02:12] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, How do I do that?
[02:13] <daftykins> which ubuntu are you on?
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, I used alsamixer and Mixer, no dice
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> 12.10
[02:13] <sybariten> hm
[02:13] <compile> Hello all.
[02:13] <compile> I'm trying to install 12.10 using wubi
[02:13] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: hrmm. try searching for 'sound' with the dash
[02:13] <sybariten> i just set up a new ubuntu computer, a laptop. I already have some laptops in the LAN, and i have a server too, with ssh(d)
[02:13] <compile> and from what i see its been on "Copying installation logs..." for about 5 mins now.
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, What do you mean?
[02:13] <compile> does this process take a while?
[02:14] <sybariten> i can always connect to that server, but now when doing "ssh <IP_ADDRESS>:38" from the new ubuntu laptop, i get "name or service not known"
[02:14] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: nm, click on the sound icon top right, then settings
[02:15] <sybariten> I can ping that machine though, with the same IP... any ideas?
[02:15] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, I already did that
[02:15] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: and you set output to the HDMI device?
[02:15] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, Yes
[02:15] <sybariten> uh , what i meant with "i can always..." was "normally i have no problems whatsoever to connect to that machine, from my other laptops"
[02:15] <munderwo-work> Hi All. I've got a bare server running ubuntu 12.04, and on startup its got a load of close 8. Using htop it shows high cpu load from kernel threads? Does anybody have some tips to workout what is happening?
[02:16] <munderwo-work> ITs a 4 Core server
[02:16] <Kraln-> munderwo-work: that sounds suspiciously like a storage issue, like rebuilding raid or something
[02:16] <julian-delphiki> munderwo-work: i dont doubt that it has a high load after booting, it should recover quickly.
[02:16] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: and every single related device is definitely unmuted in the mixer? be it called iec... or 5.1 or etc?
[02:16] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, Yes
[02:16] <munderwo-work> Kraln: oohhh I hadnt thought of that. It does have a RAID array in it. Good tip
[02:16] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: ok i give up
[02:17] <plaguedoctor> Anyone here know how to enable audio via HDMI cable?
[02:17] <plaguedoctor> for ubuntu 12.10
[02:18] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Then whata do..
[02:19] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: i have no idea.
[02:20] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Well. Do you know why my mouse keeps disconnecting randomly when I use Ubuntu, then? Maybe I can just keep jolicloud.
[02:20] <munderwo-work> Kraln: any idea how to get the status of a dell raid controller on linux?
[02:20] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: i have no deai
[02:20] <julian-delphiki> idea*
[02:20] <SolarisBoy> Kraln-: look into OMSA
[02:21] <wesam098> Actually, joli hasthis html5 back, which makes up the whole OS. It only stops when that's open.
[02:21] <SolarisBoy> better known as Open Manage
[02:21] <wesam098> Oh, alright.
[02:21] <Kraln-> munderwo-work: depends on which management thingy you have
[02:21] <SolarisBoy> grr munderwo-work that is - look into OMSA open manage system administrator - they do pretty well on querying modern dell raid controllers and other environment status
[02:21] <plaguedoctor> HAs anyone got audio to work under HDMI cable attached to a TV for ubuntu 12.10
[02:22] <SolarisBoy> OMSA for dell controllers generally
[02:22] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: cheers! i'll have a look at that
[02:22] <sybariten> OK hmmm so i can connect to another, external SSH server
[02:22] <sybariten> but not my own, inside my LAN
[02:22] <sybariten> could there be anything with my server running a too old ubuintu version, that my newly instgalled laptop won't like?
[02:23] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: sure
[02:23] <sybariten> Hm... there wasnt
[02:23] <julian-delphiki> sybariten: unlikely.
[02:24] <julian-delphiki> do an ssh -vvvvv when you're connecting
[02:24]  * sybariten doesnt know how to define ports in ssh calls....   well, now he does

[02:38] <tion_> no the driver is the right one
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben you could use DD
[02:39] <bigbadben> whats that
[02:39] <Pbwizkid> can you not mount it and just drag and drop files to it
[02:39] <tion_> i need a driver for the screen?
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> !dd
[02:39] <bigbadben> I can not mount it. I can not see it
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: it doesn't show up at all on your system?
[02:39] <Ben64> tion_: what video card
[02:39] <tion_> why xrandr is such a piece of crap?
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> it's probably broken then
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> tion_: what video card
[02:40] <tion_> this isnt about the crad its about the screen
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> tion_: they're related.
[02:40] <Ben64> they're literally connected
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> ^
[02:40] <tion_> any card can do more that vga
[02:40] <|Anthony|> i use dual monitors and do NOT touch randr
[02:41] <tion_> are we in the 80s?
[02:41] <bigbadben> "JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge " this shows up when I lsusb so It is connected
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> tion_: jesus christ, tell us what card.
[02:41] <Ben64> go away if you aren't going to cooperate
[02:41] <tion_> nvidia driver 173 recomended
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> and you installed the nvidia driver?
[02:41] <|Anthony|> is this a troll
[02:41] <tion_> not yet
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> well then install it
[02:41] <tion_> im using the opendriver
[02:41] <Ben64> tion_: well, which card do you have
[02:42] <tion_> nvidia
[02:42] <Ben64> thats a brand
[02:42] <Ben64> which card do you have
[02:42] <squid12> Does anybody here knows how to choose or prefer a different drivers in Ubuntu?
[02:43] <Ben64> squid12: you can blacklist certain drivers
[02:43] <tion_> i dont know what brand it is might be an asus
[02:43] <Priest_Pio> Hello :)
[02:43] <julian-delphiki> tion_: we need a model
[02:43] <squid12> Hi Ben64....any specific places? like etc... proc?
[02:44] <julian-delphiki> squid12 /etc/modprobe.d/
[02:44] <TheLordOfTime> tion_, can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[02:44] <Ben64> squid12: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[02:44] <tion_> the card works fine with 1600x1200
[02:44] <Tecan> in nemo my scripts arnt working
[02:44] <squid12> Thanks Ben64...I will check it out
[02:44] <Ben64> squid12: might be blacklist.conf in there
[02:45] <tion_> one would think xrandr guys would at least support the most used res like vga avga xvga etc etc
[02:45] <squid12> Ben64...yup...I see it. I will now take a look at the man pages
[02:45] <squid12> Ben64....Thank you
[02:45] <Ben64> tion_: you aren't listening, its not about xrandr or the screen or anything
[02:45] <Ben64> tion_: what does this say - "lspci | grep -i vga"
[02:45] <alcaprawn> Ben64: whats he having problems with i cba to scroll up ^.^
[02:45] <tion_> with out ""?
[02:45] <julian-delphiki> tion_: you're really close to people being done helping you.

[02:46] <tion_>  NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[02:46] <Ben64> alcaprawn: resolution stuck at 640x480
[02:46] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: SO I have a PERC H310 Raid array. and i've installed OMSA tools but it doesnt seem to be able to connect.
[02:47] <Priest_Pio> I make one clean install using ubuntu 12.10 but after the instalation when the pc start the grub apear in black and don`t show nathing to i acn chose what opearting system i want to use it. Note: I allready make the updates and install nvidia. ANy ideia how to resolve this?
[02:47] <squid12> exit
[02:47] <julian-delphiki> tion_: a little googling tells me that the nvidia driver is what you want
[02:47] <tion_> is it fixed?
[02:47] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: make sure your controller firmware is up to date and that all the daemons are loaded up properly
[02:47] <munderwo-work> the OMSA Daemons?
[02:47] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: naturally take your time there and follow the docs and backup steps - controller incidents can be pretty nasty
[02:47] <tion_> julian-delphiki: i did that in other distro before upgarding and it didnt wotked
[02:48] <munderwo-work> Luckily this isnt in production yet...
[02:48] <|Anthony|> adobe flash player is constantly crashing. what is the recommended alternative?
[02:48] <tion_> ive upgraded all the way from intrepid
[02:48] <Ben64> tion_: do this - "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"
[02:48] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: yes there are a few and a couple of drivers that get loaded in the process - there should be a wrapper script in the install directory called services.sh that you can use to start/start/status them all
[02:48] <tion_> just toke about 24h
[02:49] <moes> Using startup disk creator in Ubuntu-12.04.1 on a 16 gb flash drive...fat 32 will only allow 4.3 gb persistence file....How can I increase to 8 gb??
[02:49] <tion_> ive instaled them on 9.10 and it didnt worked out the screen res
[02:49] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[02:49] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: I did an apt-get install, so i'll have a hunt around for the services.sh file
[02:49] <Ben64> moes: you can't with fat32
[02:49] <Priest_Pio> moes try ntfs maby it works
[02:49] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: i guess you could updatedb and locate services.sh then
[02:49] <SolarisBoy> if apt-get installs it
[02:50] <tion_> i think its even harder to setup the res after install the nvidia blob
[02:50] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: yeah, found it. starting it now
[02:50] <Ben64> tion_: nope
[02:50] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: as stated make sure your controller versions are up to date OMSA doesn't like that if it's not
[02:50] <julian-delphiki> tion_: you can't compare 9.10 to 12.x
[02:50] <tion_> how do you know you are using 64B distro
[02:51] <SolarisBoy> along with starting the daemons
[02:51] <munderwo-work> RIghto//
[02:51] <Priest_Pio> Anyone having the same problem here? the grub apears the blank screen and don`t lets chose the operating system?
[02:51] <Ben64> tion_: uname -m
[02:51] <bigbadben> I know it see's the drive I just want to write to it, if I know its bus and device number is there a command to write to it?
[02:52] <tion_> i686
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: then you are on 32 bit
[02:52] <Ben64> then you're running 32 bit OS
[02:52] <tion_> OMG
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: does it show up in dmesg
[02:52] <Ben64> bigbadben: it needs to show up as /dev/sd_ to be able to write
[02:52] <tion_> this is a computer from 15 years ago
[02:52] <subcool_> k- someone tell me why my drive would be owned by root?
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: then there is no way that 64 bit will work, likely
[02:52] <subcool_> i have entire hard drive that i store my movies on- that is for some reason. owned by root
[02:52] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> subcool_: because devices are owned by root, by default.
[02:53] <tion_> isnt that news
[02:53] <bigbadben> It does show up in dmesg
[02:53] <kcoffman> Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with my Compaq Presario V6000 running 12.04 LTS
[02:53] <Ben64> bigbadben: pastebin it?
[02:53] <usr13> subcool_: Is this a special storage drive?
[02:54] <tion_> Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release:	12.04 Codename:	precise
[02:54] <usr13> subcool_: You should be able to just change the ownership with sudo.
[02:54] <jakepiano> hi i have ubuntu installed. i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows 8. is there an easy way to do that?
[02:54] <tion_> what do i do after i install the nvidia blob?
[02:54] <BlackDalek> is there any simple way to remove customized colour themes from unity? My wife's PC was using Ubuntu 11.04 with customized colour gnome theme and when she upgraded to 12.04, it took the custom colour setting with it and now all the top menus are unreadable (black on black) and icon text is all black on black... how do we remove custom colours in unity and get the default colour theme back?
[02:55] <bigbadben> http://pastebin.com/XtRkSsYz
[02:55] <bigbadben> its the jmicron usb to atabridge
[02:55] <usr13> subcool_: But how did you do this?  What did you do?   How did you copy the files to it?
[02:55] <tion_> cant anyone help?
[02:55] <subcool_> julian-delphiki, usr13 - um it is a harddrive set to initiate during boot- but i have never run into this issue. chown 777 right?
[02:56] <subcool_> thats my point- i have never had an issue until today
[02:56] <daftykins> bigbadben: "sudo fdisk -l" does it show up?
[02:56] <psychopathic> BlackDalek: Just erase the config files in the home directory.
[02:56] <usr13> subcool_: Well, no.  You'd want to change ownership.  Right?
[02:56] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: Ok, so had a look at the storage stuff and physical and virtual disks are all a-ok.. So I still have a whole bunch of kernel threads consuming a LOT of lod
[02:56] <tion_> i bet TF2 can setup better res that xrandr
[02:56] <munderwo-work> *load
[02:56] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: looks like its sde?
[02:57] <subcool_> yeah
[02:57] <usr13> sburjan`: What is the mount point?
[02:57] <BlackDalek> psychopathic... I don't know where to find them... :( any clues?
[02:57] <subcool_> usr13, yeah
[02:57] <Ben64> tion_: after you get the nvidia driver, reboot
[02:57] <usr13> subcool_: What is the mount point?
[02:57] <munderwo-work> Kraln-: WEll looks like my raid arrays check out.
[02:57] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben, if it is infact /dev/sde you could "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sde"
[02:57] <tion_> its not gona work!
[02:57] <subcool_> usr13, i dont remember.. :/
[02:57] <julian-delphiki> tion_: you're not very willing to try things
[02:57] <bigbadben> I have another external hardrive hooked up
[02:58] <usr13> subcool_: YOu don't know the mount point?  How do you know it's owned by root?
[02:58] <tion_> well at least it leted me use extended destop res
[02:58] <TheLordOfTime> tion_, if you're not willing to try things that we're suggesting, which would likely help fix your issue, nobody'll want to help you
[02:58] <subcool_> i pulled up a few files and look at their properties
[02:58] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: hmm, may want to unplug everything except this one drive
[02:58] <julian-delphiki> to be sure.
[02:58] <usr13> subcool_: What is the user name that you use on this PC?
[02:58] <tion_> i cant click the box on the nvidia drivers install screen
[02:58] <psychopathic> BlackDalek: The config files are listed with a .* in front of them with "ls -a" or show hidden files in nautilus.
[02:58] <subcool_> subcool
[02:58] <bigbadben> yeah Ill try it on my laptob maybe
[02:58] <tion_> its below the visible screen
[02:58] <subcool_> usr13,
[02:59] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: laptop*
[02:59] <tion_> this monitor dont know what a EIDI is!
[02:59] <usr13> subcool_: ls -l /where-ever/it/is  |pastebinit
[03:00] <Ben64> tion_: what install screen? you should have done it through apt-get
[03:00] <kcoffman> I have a problem with the sound and volume control on my laptop. If the sound is below about 80% it's silent, when it's at 100% it's super loud and there is a very small window for a happy medium
[03:01] <tion_> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current what driver is it going to fetch?
[03:01] <usr13> subcool_: sudo chown subcool /where-ever/it/is
[03:01] <BlackDalek> psychopathic we guessed it would be one of the hidden files, but which? None of them in the home directory are screaming out "I have theme customizations in here"... :(
[03:01] <julian-delphiki> tion_: whatever the current nvidia driver is...
[03:02] <tion_> i cant use the latest
[03:02] <tion_> wtf i need 173
[03:02] <julian-delphiki> tion_: i think people here about ready to be done helping you.
[03:02] <usr13> subcool_: But make sure you do it to the correct directory.
[03:03] <tion_> you dont help you just telling me to push buttons
[03:03] <subcool_> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529806/
[03:03] <tion_> i just know its not gona work
[03:03] <julian-delphiki> tion_: well, we're trying to help, and you're being very argumenative to people who are trying to help
[03:03] <tion_> and probablly x wont starrt
[03:03] <tion_> i tryed it before
[03:03] <julian-delphiki> tried*
[03:03] <Ben64> tion_: then go away
[03:04] <usr13> subcool_: What comand gave you that output,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529806/ ?
[03:04] <Priest_Pio> I think they have come from horse to dunk whith new gnome

[03:06] <vuln> Hello there. So I did something and now the cursor is huge. How can I fix that? :$
[03:06] <Ben64> tion_: stop with randr, its not your problem
[03:06] <bigbadben> That did not work I wonder why
[03:06] <Ben64> tion_: if you won't listen, leave
[03:06] <tion_> this is from the official documentation
[03:06] <usr13> sburjan`: chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/
[03:06] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that is debian, not ubuntu
[03:07] <tion_> so why is it on this channel bot ?»!
[03:07] <usr13> subcool_  What filesystem is it?
[03:07] <tion_> !xrandr
[03:07] <usr13> subcool_: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[03:07] <julian-delphiki> tion_: okay, but still, just install the nvidia-current driver
[03:07] <the_hydra> hi all
[03:07] <Ben64> tion_: this is the last time i'm going to tell you. xrandr is not the issue, you need the driver

[03:09] <vuln> How can I change my cursor size in Ubuntu 12.04?
[03:09] <the_hydra> Xorg log says "double triple", which according to debian wiki, confirms that my touchpad recognize up to 3 fingers press
[03:09] <usr13> subcool_: So which is it?   /dev/sde ?
[03:09] <daggs> am I high?
[03:10] <subcool_> usr13, uh- idk...
[03:10] <usr13> subcool_: sde3 and sde4 ?
[03:10] <daggs> never mind
[03:10] <subcool_> usr13, i have to ls it to figure that out.
[03:10] <subcool_> i setup a few partition to mount on boot

[03:13] <tion_> hello?
[03:13] <usr13> sburjan`: Never mind.  The command I gave you: (chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/) will have no effect.  sde2 is HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
[03:13] <usr13> subcool_: Never mind.  The command I gave you: (chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/) will have no effect.  sde2 is HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

[03:14] <jakepiano> lenovo g480
[03:14] <the_hydra> any help, people?
[03:14] <usr13> subcool_: Ownership is not the same.  You should still be able to access the files though.  Right?
[03:15] <subcool_> usr13, yeah i can read them
[03:15] <subcool_> ive always had write permission. this is weird.
[03:15] <subcool_> thats my movie directory.
[03:15] <usr13> subcool_: Is it auto mounting them in that way?
[03:16] <subcool_> it automounts... i know that
[03:16] <usr13> subcool_: I don't know either.
[03:16] <the_hydra> how to make sure my  touchpad does indeed support Unity mouse gestures?
[03:16] <the_hydra> my laptop was a product circa early 2008
[03:16] <the_hydra> Xorg log says "double triple", which according to debian wiki, confirms that my touchpad recognize up to 3 fingers press
[03:16] <usr13> subcool_: df |pastebinit
[03:16] <artful_d> jakepiano: sorry, came in late on this, but what's the current partitioning scheme?
[03:16] <the_hydra> so far, none of the Unity gestures mentioned in the ubuntu wiki works
[03:17] <subcool_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529845/ usr13
[03:17] <jakepiano> artful_d no probs.  its just one partition 500 gb with ubuntu on it. i'm not sure how to change or check any of this. i have the gparted partition editor
[03:17] <usr13> subcool_: It's full
[03:18] <artful_d> Jakepiano: so, just ubuntu on a 500gb ext4, right?
[03:18] <subcool_> usr13, i know- im trying to delete things
[03:18] <subcool_> usr13, that when i found out its root
[03:19] <usr13> subcool_: Use sudo
[03:19] <subcool_> yeah.... but i still need to be able to write to it.
[03:19] <jakepiano> uhm i think. heres a link to what it looks like. http://imgur.com/OdJ9E
[03:20] <the_hydra> subcool, is it possible that it is mounted as "read only"?
[03:20] <the_hydra> subcool, try to check mount command output
[03:20] <jakepiano> artful_d
[03:20] <the_hydra> subcool, if you see "ro", then it's read only
[03:20] <subcool_> the_hydra, uh- ... lol... got me..
[03:20] <the_hydra> subcool, pardon?
[03:21] <usr13> the_hydra: It's mounted rw  see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529825/
[03:21] <the_hydra> usr13, alright :)
[03:21] <usr13> the_hydra: It's 19% full  see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529845/
[03:22] <Ben64> subcool_: what groups do you belong to? (type "groups" in terminal)
[03:22] <usr13> the_hydra: But it's also exFAT filesystem.   I have .cbr on my linux desktop that I would like to share with my android tablet directly and skip using dropbox. What is the best option available?
[03:24] <the_hydra> usr13, or maybe, just maybe, it already drains its inodes numbers
[03:25] <jakepiano> ok and then what? i'm afraid i'll get the same error from trying to install win8. do i have to change it to primary or something?
[03:25] <artful_d> jakepiano: obviously, you've got this going on another PC so just say what's going on and we can walk you through it.
[03:25] <usr13> subcool_: At any rate, you should be able to delete some files.  Just do ls ls -ltrS    <will list by file sizes, largest last> and pick a particularly big one and delete it.
[03:25] <subcool_> usr13, i know what i wanna delete - thats no problem
[03:26] <subcool_> but, i also want to put file IN there..
[03:26] <subcool_> i really dont get why it is mounted as root
[03:26] <usr13> subcool_: ls -ltrS /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/
[03:26] <Ben64> subcool_: give list of groups
[03:26] <subcool_> how
[03:26] <tion_> wow it worked :P
[03:26] <Ben64> i told you how in the same line i asked for it
[03:26] <Ben64> subcool_: what groups do you belong to? (type "groups" in terminal)
[03:26] <subcool_> subcool adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[03:27] <usr13> subcool_: ls -ltrS /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/ |pastebinit
[03:27] <jakepiano> i've got to go but i'll be back in a half hour or so. can i get your email to let you know when i'm back?
[03:27] <Ben64> well then i don't know. we have the same groups, same mount options, but i can copy things to my ntfs drive
[03:27] <artful_d> jakepiano: on your current configuration, sda1 and sda2 are primary. You get 4. So Win 8 needs

[03:28] <tion_> glxgears  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[03:28] <artful_d> woops, 2 partitions. 1 for recovery, the rest for win8 full, both ntfs
[03:28] <subcool_> its cool- ill deal with it later.. thanks..
[03:28] <usr13> subcool_: Not much help.  Those are all directory names.
[03:29] <tion_> im using novou?
[03:29] <kcoffman> someone?? anyone???
[03:29] <tion_> now i can have all the windows on screen
[03:29] <tion_> at least that worked ok
[03:29] <subcool_> ill be back later.. thanks.. - i was just trying to figure out wtf, but appearently its worse than i thought..
[03:30] <subcool_> thanks a lot- .. later..
[03:30] <the_hydra> so guys, any help for me? :)
[03:30] <usr13> subcool_: Ok.  Sorry we weren't much help.
[03:31] <usr13> the_hydra: What is your problem?
[03:31] <subcool_> you were a ton of help
[03:31] <the_hydra> unity gestures
[03:31] <subcool_> thank you..
[03:31] <tion_> hey why doesent glxgears work?
[03:31] <the_hydra> usr13, it doesn't work at all
[03:31] <tion_> nvidia control doesent work
[03:32] <usr13> the_hydra: Oh, I don't know about unity gestures.  Sorry.  (I use xfce)
[03:32] <the_hydra> usr13, ok...btw, do you ever use touchegg?
[03:33] <usr13> the_hydra: No, sorry, don't know about touchegg either.
[03:34] <the_hydra> usr13, ok np
[03:34] <tion_> should i install the recomended driver now? that is 173.?
[03:34] <the_hydra> basically my problem is, how to find out if my touchpad does indeed support multitouch
[03:34] <usr13> the_hydra: I'm seeing:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/touchegg  (for first time.../)
[03:34] <tion_> hello someone was helping me?
[03:35] <Guest21135> my computer freezes with an ubuntu 12.04 usb pen drive inserted. it cant even enter bios. what s wrong?
[03:35] <Nukien> Can anyone point me in the right direction for building an install udeb/something that can query the user for information, much as the tasksel one does during regular install? I need to have user select from a bunch of choices (radiobutton) plus enter a couple of text fields. Want to do that as early as possible after ISO boot, that then feeds preseeded install.
[03:36] <tion_> 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation nForce2 AGP (rev c1) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[03:37] <the_hydra> Guest21135, if the usb pendrive is not inserted i.e booting from hard disk, everything goes fine?
[03:37] <tion_> should i downgrade nvidea driver to the recomended one?
[03:37] <brian_petersen> I have a dual boot with windows 8. How do I set the default Grub selection for windows? I don't want to edit the menu file as that would be overwritten everytime I do update-grub. Any ideas?
[03:38] <Guest21135> the_hydra , yes
[03:38] <tion_> i dont seem to have 3d acceleration
[03:38] <scarrs> well I got mpd, mpc, gmpc and ampache working. would anybody like to know how I did it?
[03:38] <altin> is there a good linux app for designing graphs ?
[03:38] <the_hydra> Guest21135, i think it's more like hardware problem, either your usb port or the usb pendrive itself
[03:38] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, IIRC it
[03:39] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, it's in /etc/sysconfig/grub IIRC
[03:39] <the_hydra> alta, like Visio?
[03:39] <brian_petersen> the_hydra, I don't have a sysconfig dir
[03:40] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, sorry /etc/default/grub
[03:41] <brian_petersen> the_hydra, ah, thanks!
[03:41] <the_hydra> altin, like Visio?
[03:41] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, you welcome
[03:42] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i also believe it s a motherboard issue although im almost sure that making some modification in ubuntu install the computer could not freeze and let me use a boot loader
[03:42] <altin> the_hydra: is that in ubuntu repo ?
[03:43] <the_hydra> altin, maybe you can try Pencil or Dia
[03:43] <tion_> how do i know what nvidia driver im using?
[03:43] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i dont know anything about boot loader syslinux etc
[03:43] <the_hydra> Guest21135, when exactly it got freeze? right after RAM counts?
[03:44] <kcoffman> I am having a problem with my sound levels. If it's below about 80% (on the slider bar) it's totally silent, when it's at 100% it's super loud.
[03:44] <Guest21135> the_hydra , it freezes after checking hd s cdrom
[03:45] <altin> the_hydra: kk will take a look at them :)
[03:45] <altin> thnx
[03:45] <the_hydra> Guest21135, totally trivial idea, can you switch that into usb legacy mode
[03:46] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i ve tryed that with no success
[03:46] <the_hydra> kcoffman, have you check with alsamixer command?
[03:46] <sqldad> I can't find libdvdcss2 -- am I missing something in my sources.list?
[03:46] <kcoffman> I have no idea what I am doing. :/
[03:46] <sqldad> nm, found the answer
[03:47] <the_hydra> kcoffman, open terminal and type "alsamixer"
[03:47] <kcoffman> okay. now what
[03:47] <the_hydra> kcoffman, my guess, either Master or PCM level is too high
[03:47] <the_hydra> kcoffman, see those bars?
[03:48] <kcoffman> Master and PCM are both at 100 from what I can tell
[03:48] <the_hydra> kcoffman, then lower them, imho the ideal level are both around 70%
[03:48] <kcoffman> yes, I see them
[03:48] <the_hydra> kcoffman, but feel free to experiment
[03:48] <kcoffman> the_hydra how do I lower them?
[03:49] <the_hydra> kcoffman, use down arrow to lower, up arrow to raise
[03:49] <the_hydra> kcoffman, use left or right arrow to choose which one you wanna modify
[03:49] <kcoffman> the_hydra, do you want me to lower PCM and Master to ~70
[03:49] <the_hydra> when you are done, just press Escape, sometimes you need to press it twice
[03:50] <Nukien> Can anyone point me in the right direction for building an install udeb/something that can query the user for information, much as the tasksel one does during regular install? I need to have user select from a bunch of choices (radiobutton) plus enter a couple of text fields. Want to do that as early as possible after ISO boot, that then feeds preseeded install.
[03:50] <the_hydra> kcoffman, yes, but try to experiment while i.e playing a song so you got ideal volume level for your own
[03:50] <Priest_Pio> I have one problem about the grub don`t show and get one grub blank screen in ubuntu 12.10. So after i edit "/etc/default/grub" and remove the "#" from GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 it looks it start to work fine
[03:51] <julian-delphiki> Nukien: i can't say i've ever had debian-installer ask questions.
[03:52] <tion_> i instaled nvidia current drivers but im missing 3d accelaration
[03:52] <tion_> can someone help?
[03:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that card is probably too old for 3d
[03:52] <dcherniv> Nukien, !dialog
[03:52] <tion_> it worked fine in intrepid
[03:52] <Nukien> Maybe I'm not being clear: Boot the install ISO, and it starts asking questions - hostname, main username/password, the tasksel section where you choose what type of system it is.
[03:53] <Nukien> !dialog
[03:53] <tion_> glxgears 60 fps
[03:53] <tion_> now glxgears dont work
[03:53] <julian-delphiki> doesn't*
[03:53] <tion_> do not work
[03:53] <julian-delphiki> does not
[03:54] <dcherniv> Nukien, http://linux.die.net/man/1/dialog
[03:54] <magn3ts> Why is there not an OpenJDK 7u11 update yet?
[03:54] <kcoffman> the_hyrda, it didn't work, I took a screen shot so you can understand what I'm saying
[03:54] <Nukien> hah - just figured that. thought it was a bot query
[03:55] <Nukien> thanks
[03:55] <tion_> can i try installing the 173. nvidia driver?
[03:55] <the_hydra> kcoffman, still too loud?
[03:55] <tion_> or is going back to poor resolution?
[03:55] <the_hydra> kcoffman, sorry, can't browse pic right now, i am reserving bandwith to download ISO
[03:56] <julian-delphiki> tion_ I'm unsure.
[03:56] <kcoffman> the_hydra no, it's super quiet now at 100%
[03:56] <the_hydra> kcoffman, what????? weird
[03:56] <tion_> i need to install steam
[03:56] <dcherniv> tion_, glxgears will vsync so the fps wont be higher than your vfreq in this case 60hz
[03:57] <Nukien> Is dialog workable from a preseed environment right after ISO boot? For example in the d-i preseed/early_command string ?
[03:57] <kcoffman> the_hydra I took a screen shot to show you the terminal and the volume level on my computer so maybe you'd understand it better... i have no idea
[03:57] <julian-delphiki> Nukien, I have a feeling that it will not be
[03:57] <julian-delphiki> but i could be wrong
[03:57] <the_hydra> kcoffman, hm okay, let me see
[03:57] <tion_> how can i remove openoffice?
[03:58] <tion_> apt-get remove openoffice* ?
[03:58] <julian-delphiki> tion_: remove it in the package manager
[03:58] <tion_> but all at once
[03:58] <dcherniv> Nukien, what you're doing is non-standard so you're kind of on your own. I dont see why it wouldnt as long as there's a hook in the installer process to stick a script in
[03:58] <Nukien> I'm poking around at the syslinux cmenu setup as well, to use checkboxes before the kernel is even booted. That looks workable, but no nice background image like vesamenu.c32 can do.
[03:58] <tion_> not 1 app at a time
[03:58] <julian-delphiki> tion_: then your solution will likely work
[03:59] <Nukien> The d-i preseed/early_command string is exactly that, but I haven't found if there's any facility for communicating with the user during install
[03:59] <kcoffman> the_hydra hang on, I stopped the upload once I saw what you said about reserving bandwith
[03:59] <Nukien> Looking to be able to provide information that regular preseeding can't handle, to build a completely hands-off install.
[04:00] <Guest46286> unable to logged in as a root user..su: Authentication failure..
[04:01] <the_hydra> Guest43354, use sudo
[04:02] <Guest46286> using sudo display its uses
[04:02] <the_hydra> Guest43354, sudo <your command"
[04:03] <the_hydra> Guest43354, ubuntu is designed so users don't need to login as root
[04:03] <tion_> is there an irc plugging for rithmbox?
[04:03] <Guest46286> its working,,but 2 days earlier i am able 2 use
[04:03] <Guest46286> su then passwd
[04:03] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that would be specific of the client you're using
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> Guest46286: sudo su -
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> will make you root
[04:04] <magn3ts> Why is there not an OpenJDK 7u11 update yet?
[04:04] <kcoffman> the_hydra I can't get a snapshot with the volume bar showing
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> magn3ts: you can install the update from oracle
[04:04] <dcherniv> Guest46286, sudo su - is not recommended use sudo -i
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> dcherniv, why is sudo su - not correct?
[04:04] <the_hydra> julian-delphiki, Guest43354 : or sudo -s
[04:05] <julian-delphiki> sudo su - works just as well as sudo -i
[04:05] <dcherniv> julian-delphiki, beats me, ubuntu guide says sudo su is a no no
[04:05] <the_hydra> kcoffman, hmmmm
[04:05] <magn3ts> julian-delphiki: that's the sun, er, oracle jdk.
[04:05] <julian-delphiki> To start a root shell (i.e. a command window where you can run Root commands), starting Root's environment and login scripts, use:
[04:05] <julian-delphiki> sudo -i     (similar to sudo su - , gives you roots environment configuration)
[04:05] <magn3ts> julian-delphiki: (also, the PPA with the oracle jdk installer isn't updated either, oops)
[04:06] <magn3ts> I did see that Oracle did a linux targz release though.
[04:06] <Guest46286> thankx
[04:06] <julian-delphiki> magn3ts: ppa's are maintained by the community
[04:06] <julian-delphiki> dcherniv, all it says is that its similar to sudo -s
[04:07] <kcoffman> but when I mess with the PCM and master volumes they change my bar but it's like if you bar represents 100% of sound from 0(being silent) to 100(being loudest) at 80% is when you can hear sound, if it's anything less than 80%, it's totally silent from 79% to 0%; at 100% it's really like 120% and I am afraid it will blow my speakers. They worked fine until 12.04
[04:07] <julian-delphiki> and that it doesn't get root's path... which I don't think is correct
[04:08] <the_hydra> kcoffman, hm, it's beyond my knowledge, but I can only suggest to play with the bar..... maybe you need both pcm and master level at 80%
[04:08] <the_hydra> kcoffman, or maybe 90%
[04:09] <tion_> soft center crashed
[04:09] <kcoffman> the_hyrda okay, I still have a few problems. 1 being Tor and 2 being the volume control above my keyboard
[04:09] <jakepiano> artful_n are you here still?
[04:10] <jakepiano> artful_d are you here?
[04:10] <kcoffman> the_hyrda do you have a "desktop" viewing software enabled? I can try to show you that way?
[04:10] <julian-delphiki> jakepiano, there is no name like that
[04:10] <tion_> how do i change icons order on the lunch bar?
[04:11] <magn3ts> I recommend tails instead of trying to run Tor securely yourself. Unless you *really* know what you're doing.
[04:11] <linux> random question, anyone in here tried JessBuntu ?
[04:11] <tion_> how do i change icons order on the lunch bar?
[04:11] <julian-delphiki> linux: this is ubuntu support
[04:11] <julian-delphiki> so
[04:11] <tion_> i want work areas 1st
[04:12] <magn3ts> linux: that is hideous looking, and no.
[04:12] <magn3ts> It looks like a custom icon theme + awn theme... not sure why everyone rolls a distro for a custom theme
[04:12] <kcoffman> magn3ts have no idea what I am doing
[04:13] <tion_> should i run nvidia xconfig as root?
[04:13] <magn3ts> kcoffman: I recommend tails then. It's an ISO you can burn and boot or run less securely in a VM. It has good defaults, etc, to keep from leaking your identity, which often happens when people run  Tor under Ubuntu without taking all the precautions.
[04:13] <jakepiano> yeah i was talking to him earlier.
[04:13] <magn3ts> tion_: it will error and fail if you don't wanyway.
[04:13] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:14] <munderwo-work> Hi all. Any idea why my server would be having a load average of 7-8 on a 4 core machine when nothing is running. It looks like Kernel threads according to htop. Is there anyway of finding out which processes are contributing to load average?
[04:14] <tion_> nvidia current instaled the worng driver
[04:14] <ai23k> hi all, I have an ubuntu installation ubuntu 10.10(which we have planned to upgrade to latest one soon) but I am facing a problem to install packages as repos are no more working how can i install packages to my machine now
[04:14] <kcoffman> magn3ts can I run it from a USB drive?
[04:14] <magn3ts> tion_: can you elaborate?
[04:14] <tion_> how do i setup xvga+ res?
[04:14] <julian-delphiki> ai23k: what error are you getting
[04:14] <magn3ts> kcoffman: sure, you can dd the iso to a jump drive and boot from that. I doubt it has an EFI partition on it, so be wary of that if you have a late 2012/2013 new computer.
[04:14] <Guest46286> where does system file reside in lubuntu(/etc,/home,/var etc.)
[04:15] <magn3ts> tion_: Why do you think nvidia-current installed the wrong driver?
[04:15] <julian-delphiki> Guest46286: "system file" ?
[04:15] <tion_> some one told me to do it because i had vga res and now in 1024x
[04:15] <ai23k> Failed to fetch http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-inetd/update-inetd_4.36ubuntu0.1_all.deb  403  Forbidden
[04:15] <julian-delphiki> ai23k, you're using a mirror that doesn't work, probably.
[04:15] <ai23k> julian-delphiki: are there any working repos for 10.10
[04:16] <tion_> because on the additional driver applet recomends 173.
[04:16] <magn3ts> ai23k: did you manually set that mirror? You'll probably need to change it and remove the us-east-1... prefix.
[04:16] <Guest46286> file like,bin,boot,dev,lib,root,proc etc..
[04:16] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[04:17] <julian-delphiki> ai23k: read the 2nd post? http://cloud.ubuntu.com/tag/ec2/
[04:17] <ai23k> magn3ts: actually I am using an amazon instance they have setup their own mirrors to save their bandwidth
[04:17] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:17] <ai23k> but if there is anyone working definately i will use that
[04:17] <magn3ts> ai23k: then it's an issue with amazon, they seem to have misconfigured something... probably because 10.10 is really old.
[04:17] <Chaosadnd> Anyone good at apache2 that could help me out for a few minutes?
[04:17] <magn3ts> Is this an ancient VM or what?
[04:17] <magn3ts> Do they still support 10.10?
[04:17] <julian-delphiki> magn3ts: no its just on Ec2
[04:18] <julian-delphiki> magn3ts: there are lots of people on 10.04 still
[04:18] <julian-delphiki> server LTS
[04:18] <magn3ts> Right, I'm just trying to figure out if he has a new image of 10.10 and amazon is provisioning new instances with bad mirrors... or if this is an instance that has managed to live this long and references servers they deprecated.
[04:19] <magn3ts> Either way, it's an issue with Amazon for pointing apt at a broken mirror or breaking their mirror later. You can remove the prefix and use the ubuntu archives if you want to fix it in the iterim.
[04:19] <tion_> magn3ts: how do i setup arbitrary res? like 1152 x 864
[04:20] <magn3ts> tion_: If you have a GTX card, and X is using the nvidia driver, I would use nvidia-settings. (this is what I use on my desktop)
[04:20] <tion_> im using the max avaiable that is 1024 x	768
[04:20] <anunnaki> so any old timers in here?
[04:21] <tion_> i have fx5200
[04:21] <julian-delphiki> anunakki: what do you mean?
[04:21] <anunnaki> there was this dude from africa that had his own networkig business.. hung out in here forgot his name
[04:22] <stuck109> my computers usb ports aren't working, think I need to reinstall drivers? How can I do this?
[04:22] <anunnaki> i think south africa...  weird first name .. said tons of pot grew around his house.. anyone know him? lol
[04:23] <magn3ts> tion_: 173.1436 *is* the recommended driver.
[04:23] <magn3ts> Are you SURE X is currently using it?
[04:23] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[04:24] <tion_> x is using 2xx driver
[04:24] <tion_> but ont
[04:24] <tion_> not
[04:24] <magn3ts> WXZ: doubtful, the "workspace" is really both displays together, there isn't really a way to address them as "the left side of W1" and "the right side of W1"
[04:24] <tion_> i instaled nvidia driver before but got stuck with very low res options
[04:24] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:25] <magn3ts> tion_: I can't tell what you mean. It *is* or *isn't* ?
[04:25] <WXZ> magn3ts: I wasn't really looking for a left and right side, I want the full workspace on one monitor, and another full workspace on the other
[04:25] <magn3ts> You have three options: VESA, Nvidia, or Nouveau.
[04:25] <WXZ> magn3ts: sort of like in awesome, but awesome has a huge learning curve
[04:25] <tion_> jokey crashed
[04:26] <magn3ts> WXZ: well same difference, that would be the "model" needed to do the sort of workspace-monitor-independent thing you want, but no, that's not how it works in gnome/kde/xfce that I'm familiar with.
[04:26] <magn3ts> I need to learn awesome :/
[04:27] <magn3ts> although I'm really happy with my setup now...
[04:27] <ai23k> unfortunately the official repos for ubuntu 10.10 are no more working as well . . . I got the same problem
[04:27] <WXZ> magn3ts: I have a zaphod mode setup, the only thing I need is to be able to move windows to either monitor
[04:27] <tion_> magn3ts: how do i know what is it im using?
[04:28] <Redeeemed> hi
[04:29] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:30] <_helios_> jakepiano, win8 is the worste OS made, crashes constantly
[04:30] <matrixfox> id10t errors
[04:31] <jakepiano> yup but i need it for school. i want to dual boot ubuntu and win8 but i have to install win8 first before i do. so help please someone?
[04:31] <_helios_> Why would you need win8 for school im just curious
[04:31] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Sounds like you have the right idea. What do you need help wtih?
[04:31] <clone1018> How can I change my open file limits on ubuntu 12.10?
[04:32] <jakepiano> i need to partition my drive in a way that windows likes. i know it needs to be primary and to be a large partition. i'm not sure if it needs to be ntfs. if so how do i do all of that?
[04:32] <jakepiano> martixfox i need to partition my drive in a way that windows likes. i know it needs to be primary and to be a large partition. i'm not sure if it needs to be ntfs. if so how do i do all of that?
[04:33] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Just install Windows 8, then restart and isntall Ubuntu.
[04:33] <Redeeemed> I am downloading the windows installer
[04:33] <matrixfox> Ubuntu has a built in function that will install it side-by-side with Windows.
[04:33] <Redeeemed> Windows is a monsteriousity
[04:33] <_helios_> jakepiano, Windows 8 is going to fight with you unless you make it the primary OS.
[04:33] <Redeeemed> anything is better than it I am sure
[04:33] <jakepiano> i tried installing it already and it didn't work. it told me it wasn't partitioned correctly.
[04:33] <Redeeemed> and my friends sware by ubuntu
[04:34] <munderwo-work> OK, so the Very high cpu load was caused by the acpi_pad kernel module. Is there any danger in turning this off
[04:34] <_helios_> Redeeemed, you should do a full install or a dual boot, the windows installer wont give you the real experience of ubuntu it will be allot slower than a full install.
[04:34] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Did you try setup your own Linux partitions?
[04:35] <Redeeemed> I am doing dual boot
[04:35] <Redeeemed> I gave it 100GB
[04:35] <_helios_> But if you do it with the Windows Installer it won't be the real deal.
[04:35] <Redeeemed> I don't have any discs to burn at the moment
[04:35] <jakepiano> i'm not sure. i dont know how to do much of this. i'll show you what i have right now. http://imgur.com/OdJ9E
[04:35] <_helios_> Can you boot from USB?
[04:36] <Redeeemed> I dont have any media of any kind at the moment
[04:36] <Redeeemed> otherwise believe me I will
[04:36] <Redeeemed> I will not hold windows performance issues against ubuntu
[04:36] <Redeeemed> I just want to see if the interface agrees with me
[04:36] <Redeeemed> if it does
[04:36] <_helios_> Redeeemed, well as soon as you can you want to switch to a full install.
[04:36] <Redeeemed> then I will get a DVD and oa  a real install
[04:38] <ai23k> magn3ts: I think ubuntu has discontinued support for 10.10 that is the problem
[04:38] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Looks like a mess. Should install Windows first, before Ubuntu...
[04:39] <clone1018> Why wont ubuntu change the open file limit?
[04:39] <vrtigo_indx> hey all, I'm having some issues with wifi on 12.04, anyone happen to know of a fix?
[04:39] <Redeeemed> I have heard Linux doesn't get viruses as much as Windows is that true?
[04:39] <unreal82> Rose garden or ardour?
[04:41] <unreal82> Redeeeded: yes
[04:41] <unreal82> Redeeemed*
[04:41] <matrixfox> Redeeemed: Lie
[04:41] <ChaozHenchman> yeah, one because more people use windows and two you can't access the root directory in linux
[04:42] <_helios_> Redeeemed, you can still get a virus if you trust some script kiddie who makes a script that gives him remote access to your computer and he talks you into running his script as root
[04:43] <matrixfox> or install weird software you don't fully trust, or land on sites with exploits
[04:43] <_helios_> Redeeemed, but the chances of a regular virus like you get just surfing the web in windows is highly unlikely.
[04:43] <jakepiano> matrixfox yeah thats what i'm trying to do. how does the hard drive need to be partitioned for windows to be installed? once i get into windows i can get it all worked out. i just need windows first
[04:43] <matrixfox> jakepiano: You should move the boot off of the main drive btw~
[04:44] <_helios_> jakepiano, usualy windows has a 250mb SYSTEM partition then it has the C partition.
[04:44] <jakepiano> matrix fox _helios_  how do i do that?
[04:45] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Windows 8 uses two partitons. Boot and a main Local Disk
[04:45] <_helios_> jakepiano, I couldn't explain it step by step but I'm sure you could use the application gparted to help you out.
[04:45] <vhadil> help, how to fix this, icon suck http://postimage.org/image/l4g0a8fp7/
[04:45] <jakepiano> yeah i have gparted and matrixfox i know that. how do i partition it correctly so?
[04:46] <_helios_> jakepiano, the problem is windows doesn't give you the option of where to install it.
[04:46] <_helios_> jakepiano, windows wants your whole system it doesn't like sharing
[04:46] <matrixfox> jakepiano: I would make the boot partion 350MB's, and the Local Disk the rest of the hard drive.
[04:46] <jakepiano> ok how do i do that?
[04:47] <agent> I'm having a problem with my wireless. I've found lots of suggestions on the forum but, none are working. I didn't have the problem until I upgraded to 12.04.
[04:47] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Both NTFS, bah
[04:47] <_helios_> jakepiano, why don't you just keep the full install of ubuntu and run windows as a virtual box?
[04:49] <agent> There are lots of suggestions about dual boot as windows but, I'm not using windows.
[04:49] <jakepiano> ooh thats a good idea  _helios_ . what would be the advantage/disadvantage of having it swapped? i was going to do ubuntu as a virtual box
[04:49] <agent> wireless is on in bios but I can't get it to turn on in ubuntu
[04:50] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Running VM's have a lot of down sides
[04:50] <agent> so I was wondering where to access ubuntu related questions
[04:50] <jakepiano> like what?
[04:50] <unreal82> matrixfox: agreed.
[04:50] <_helios_> well windows 8 constantly crashes my gf has it on her laptop and she can't stand it so I'm prob going to have to change her to windows 7 because she don't understand ubuntu.
[04:50] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Well for one, networking...
[04:50] <thec4ke> like i hope you dont enjoy 3d games
[04:51] <_helios_> jakepiano, I would run Ubuntu as the main and Windows 8 as the virtual box.
[04:51] <agent> best. As she might not be able to find info on ubuntu in the ubuntu sections, only windows
[04:51] <jakepiano> well i'm a college student. i dont need a whole lot of networking stuff games, etc. i just need it for word processing and such
[04:51] <thec4ke> then ubuntu is fine
[04:51] <_helios_> jakepiano, ubuntu has tons of word processing and its free.
[04:51] <thec4ke> you shouldnt even need windows as a vm
[04:51] <malkauns> how do u get global menu to work for apps over remote X?
[04:52] <jakepiano> well either way i'd like windows around for some things as i'm learning ubuntu. how do i do a virtural box?
[04:52] <_helios_> jakepiano, and you can save your files in .docx format for the windows teachers,  I'm going to college to and I told them I don't do the Windows thing so I send my assignments as a .pdf or .docx becaues LIbreOffice can create microsoft .docx formatted files.
[04:52] <agent> Now, if your sister were to eliminate windows and only had ubuntu on her machine... if she had a problem with wireless connecting, where should she look?
[04:53] <jakepiano> ok great i'll use that! either way how do i go about getting win8 on a virtual box?
[04:53] <matrixfox> agent: Wicd?
[04:53] <agent> how about asking in a windows 8 chat?
[04:53] <d3remark> hello i can't seem to connect to my wireless... i did 'lspci | grep -i netw' and i can see that my wireless card is infact detected
[04:53] <agent> is there one here on freenode I can use for Ubuntu questions?
[04:54] <_helios_> jakepiano, I'm not sure what the best VM client is these days but they all should work,  If you google it you're sure to find tons of info.
[04:54] <d3remark> i did a 12.04 netboot install and installed the MATE desktop on my own
[04:54] <jakepiano> alright
[04:54] <agent> same d3remark
[04:54] <d3remark> but i don't see any network connect options
[04:54] <d3remark> agent: was your wireless card detected?
[04:55] <agent> same, they are greying out
[04:55] <agent> its set to "wireless disabled by hardware switch" but, it isnt
[04:56] <d3remark> agent: how did you resolve it?
[04:56] <agent> I havent. I'm using wire
[04:56] <d3remark> also do you know how to disable ubuntu from booting into network mode?
[04:56] <d3remark> xD ok
[04:56] <d3remark> we fix this together then... tonight!
[04:56] <agent> Id love it if anyone could help
[04:57] <the_hydra> anyone can help with unity gesture here?
[04:58] <d3remark> agent: i think we just have to enable the wireless card manually... when i do sudo lshw -C Network, it showd me card but it says disabled... what about you?
[04:58] <krz> ubuntu doesn't star
[04:59] <krz> i am taken to the terminal window. the last thing i changed was the experimental settings in the compiz editor
[04:59] <eatsapizza> hello
[04:59] <krz> anyone know how to undo this?
[05:00] <the_hydra> d3remark, agent i think "rfkill" command can help to enable your wireless
[05:00] <Error404NotFound> I am trying to install ubuntu on alienware m17xr3 and the screen goes black, as in display off mode, once ubuntu boots from live usb. I have tried unetbootin as well as dd, same issue.
[05:01] <dfgas> i tried to install a package through apt-get and it failed, how do i fix apt-get now, i just want to uninstall it
[05:03] <Error404NotFound> dfgas: failed at what step? pastebin the output of that apt-get command.
[05:04] <agent> @the_hyda, rfkill didn't help much
[05:04] <Error404NotFound> dfgas: usually you can use apt-get install -f to reinstall a package failed due to broken dependencies. You can always apt-get remove a package if you don't need it
[05:04] <jaker44444> hello
[05:04] <jaker44444> i come in peace
[05:05] <jaker44444> anyone in here ?
[05:05] <Feedhurley> Hello, does someone know how Ubuntu phone is going to support Android apps, and Linux programs?
[05:05] <jaker44444> andriod is linux?
[05:05] <jaker44444> ubuntu is linux ?
[05:06] <Error404NotFound> Feedhurley: it might but not out of box. I think we would still have a different store for ubuntu phone apps as apk is android package archives. though thats just zip.
[05:07] <jaker44444> is there any utility that will delete files inside a folder every half an hour?
[05:07] <jaker44444> something with GUI
[05:08] <_helios_> dfgas, you can also try sudo apt-get update --fix -missing
[05:09] <Feedhurley> Error404NotFound So by default it is android apps you run? and by some configuration you are going to be able to run Linux programs? (like gparted etc)
[05:10] <madprops> hi
[05:10] <Error404NotFound> Feedhurley: haven't tried it yet, haven't got a uphone yet
[05:10] <henrique> hello
[05:10] <dfgas> Error404NotFound, i was trying to install oracle sun java install the installer but the installer fails to download what it needs and now errors out all the time
[05:10] <dfgas> oracle / sun must have moved files it says
[05:11] <Feedhurley> Error404NotFound okey, just tought if you have heard any rumors about how they are going to handle applications :) Thanks anyway
[05:11] <gimmickless> Just curious: has anyone ever had trouble with their laptop keyboard stuck in a constant downscroll?
[05:11] <gimmickless> Does anyone know of applications that can track to see which buttons are firing?
[05:12] <rumpel> gimmickless, xev
[05:18] <oospill> hi .. trying to install ubuntu 10.04.4 along side windows xp installed on NTFS partition.  I used ntfsresize to shrink the ntfs file system to half size, then used fdisk to delete all 4 primary partitions and then created a ntfs part and a linux part .. when I reboot the live CD, fdisk shows the new fstable I made, but clicking up on 'places' shows my original full size ntfs drive/part --
[05:18] <oospill> I did all this cause gparted would change the size of the ntfs partition .. any idease?  much thanks
[05:18] <gimmickless> rumpel, problem solved. Turns out my wireless mouse receiver was wonky. After a replug, all was well. Thanks for the tip, though!
[05:19] <malkauns> how do u get global menu to work for apps over remote X?
[05:19] <_helios_> oospill, I have a link to a youtube video that I used to do a dual boot you want it?
[05:19] <oospill> ehh
[05:19] <oospill> well the thing is ..
[05:20] <oospill> gparted didn't want to resize the ntfs partition so I could add a linux partition
[05:20] <_helios_> oospill, check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HANcetKsqc
[05:20] <oospill> do I need to be messing with the mbr?
[05:20] <oospill> I'm out of practice
[05:20] <_helios_> oospill, follow that video and you won't have any problems.
[05:21] <undsen> hi
[05:21] <oospill> I'd prefer an html walkthough .. I don't have ubuntu installed yet .. no flash/youtube
[05:21] <claudinei_> oi
[05:21] <_helios_> oospill, but you have windows installed right?
[05:24] <oospill> alright ..
[05:24] <oospill> lesse here
[05:25] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[05:25] <oospill> fdisk shows sda1p1 and sda1p2 .. I want to have sda1 and sda2, right?
[05:26] <oospill> ya
[05:26] <oospill> that's the problem
[05:27] <oospill> need extended partition
[05:30] <kcoffman> How do I burn an ISO to a jump drive (tails)
[05:30] <jhansonxi_> WXZ: You can sort-of do that if you configure X.org for non-Xinerama or "Zaphod" mode where each monitor has it's own X session.  But you can't drag a window from one to the other.  Many desktop environments don't support it correctly either.  Xfce is the best with Ubuntu 12.04.
[05:31] <WXZ> jhansonxi_: I have zaphod mode right now, but I really need to move windows across, it doesn't have to be a drag thing, I can do it in commandline, but windows have to move.
[05:32] <jhansonxi_> WXZ: With this mode you configure the desktop on each monitor independently with their own menus, panels, and workspaces.
[05:34] <crazycory22> and i lost my mouse...
[05:34] <jhansonxi_> WXZ:  It's not possible to drag a window from one desktop to the other with Zaphod mode.  They are independent.  Some desktop environments can drag text between apps on each, and some file managers may be able to support drag-n-drop of files, but nothing else.
[05:36] <guest-uyBAGk> hey guys
[05:37] <sankey> for those of you who run gnome 3.6 in ubuntu 12.10,

[05:38] <guest-uyBAGk> i have a mobo with a graphics card and a pci-e slot, which also has a graphics card. for a long time i used the pci-e video card but one day ubuntu went to standby and when it woke up the video never came back. i had to switch to the mobos video card
[05:39] <guest-uyBAGk> is there any way i can query what the OS sees in the pci-e slot?
[05:39] <daftykins> guest-uyBAGk: open a terminal and type lspci
[05:39] <guest-uyBAGk> i want to see if at least the slot is functional
[05:40] <WXZ> jhansonxi: there's got to be a work around, there's no way someone hasn't worked this out
[05:40] <guest-uyBAGk> daftykins, what should i look for there?
[05:40] <daftykins> guest-uyBAGk: your PCI-E graphics card

[05:50] <jhansonxi> tion: Click on the window then Alt-Spacebar to access the window controls, then "M" for move, then use the mouse or cursor keys to move the window.

[06:13] <tion> http://www.telecompaper.com/news/amaga-computer-to-launch-amaga-17in-monitor--132759
[06:13] <tion> must be this one
[06:13] <tion> good luck
[06:14] <akis> jhansonxi: i understand what you said but on both i installed the same day the same software.
[06:14] <tion> Ben64, ???
[06:15] <tion> how do i make xorg obey ?!
[06:15] <unreal82> anyone know how to create an iso file from a cd?
[06:15] <tion> i need at least 1024x
[06:15] <akis> usr13: notebook=hp 1,5 ghz celeron with 1,5 gb ram. netbook=lenovo cpu intel atom with 1gb ram. both are running the same package of 12.04
[06:15] <jhansonxi> akis: Are both systems the same architecture?  32-bit/64-bit?  Netbooks are often 32-bit.
[06:15] <jaker44444> usr13 it says no crontab
[06:16] <magn3ts_> I'd rather poke my eyes out than use a 1600x1200 display over VGA
[06:16] <jaker44444> i don't have it on my ubuntu. what can i do?
[06:16] <usr13> akis: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:16] <tion> how can i fix this?!
[06:16] <usr13> jaker44444: What says no crontab?
[06:16] <akis> both are 32bit and usually every update comes the same time on both systems
[06:16] <dr_willis> unreal82:  you an dd the /dev/whatever device to a image if you wanted
[06:16] <magn3ts_> tion, you'll have to get a manual for the monitor and set a modeset line yourself probably.
[06:17] <dr_willis> unreal82:  that may not work with some copy protected disks
[06:17] <jaker44444> no crontab for root - using an empty one  Select an editor.  To change later, run 'select-editor'.   1. /bin/ed   2. /bin/nano        <---- easiest   3. /usr/bin/vim.tiny
[06:17] <usr13> jaker44444:  crontab -e
[06:17] <magn3ts_> again, depends on hte Xorg conf, several people have asked you to help us help you.
[06:17] <tion> how do i set a modeset line?
[06:17] <usr13> jaker44444: Oh, well take your pick.  nano?
[06:17] <magn3ts_> usr13 gave you instructions above to start helping.
[06:17] <jhansonxi> akis:  Open a terminal window and try on the affected system: sudo apt-get update
[06:17] <magn3ts_> tion, usr13 asked you to do this, it will help us: #  pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:17] <tion> this monitor can handle any rest up to 1600x1200
[06:18] <tion> i already did
[06:18] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530103/
[06:18] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530103/
[06:18] <magn3ts_> tion, and I assume you've rebooted so that you're sure the nvidia driver is currently active?
[06:19] <tion> didnt you read the xorg.conf on paste bin?
[06:19] <magn3ts_> tion, that doesn't mean it's in use.
[06:19] <jhansonxi> tion: Try a modeline calculator like: http://arachnoid.com/modelines/index.html
[06:19] <magn3ts_> tion, make cfg change -> reboot -> cfg is active. I don't know if you've done the second and third part.
[06:19] <tion> 1209 frames in 5.0 seconds = 241.799 FPS
[06:19] <akis> jhansonxi: it worked. new ver of chromium is ready to be downloaded. thanks a lot. solved!
[06:19] <tion> glxgears
[06:20] <guest____> hi
[06:20] <guest____> friends
[06:20] <guest____> is there
[06:20] <usr13> tion: nvidia-settings
[06:20] <magn3ts_> !ask | guest____
[06:20] <jaker44444> so user13 i add this inside the GNU nano ?  30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp   ???
[06:20] <tion> glxgears is working
[06:20] <guest____> any online who have knowledge of citadel
[06:20] <tion> its open
[06:20] <tion> configuration disabled
[06:20] <magn3ts_> tion, what do you mean "configuration disabled"?
[06:21] <magn3ts_> did it give you an error message/window?
[06:21] <jhansonxi> akis: The affected system simply had an outdated version of the package lists from the repository.  Normally the update applet will updated them periodically but it may have had trouble accessing the mirror when it tried.
[06:21] <Ben64> jaker44444: thats probably not the right directory
[06:21] <tion> on the tab that one should use to pick the resolution
[06:21] <tion> configuration disabled
[06:21] <akis> jhansonxi: is it fixed now after apt-get install command?
[06:21] <Ben64> tion: post a screenshot
[06:21] <magn3ts_> that's all it says?
[06:22] <jaker44444> Ben64 it says "  GNU nano 2.2.6                            File: /tmp/crontab.RoS753/crontab    "
[06:22] <tion> you dont belive me?
[06:22] <unreal82> dr_willis: I used cat /dev/whatever > /whateverdirectory/ I'm trying to save my windows xp disk. It was scratched a bit.
[06:22] <magn3ts_> tion, we just don't know what you mean
[06:22] <jaker44444> so to delete the files i add this ? 30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp
[06:22] <jaker44444> every 30 min
[06:22] <Ben64> jaker44444: i mean the /wine/windows/tmp
[06:22] <tion> on the layout config page
[06:22] <Ben64> jaker44444: thats probably not the right directory
[06:22] <magn3ts_> tion, do you have two monitors? It can't have the display as "disabled" if you're currently looking at it...
[06:23] <jhansonxi> akis: The "apt-get update" just tells it to fetch a new set of lists from all repositories.  All the package management tools (Synaptic, Aptitude, Ubuntu Software Center) use the same system.
[06:23] <tion> 1 monitor
[06:23] <Ben64> tion: stop arguing and post a screenshot, don't know why you have to argue every single thing, not a very efficient way to get help
[06:23] <android> hi, all
[06:23] <akis> ok, once again thank you for the advises.
[06:23] <tion> i dont know how to past thaT?
[06:24] <Ben64> !screenshot
[06:24] <dr_willis> unreal82:  i think cat should work.  id mention dd_rescue - but i dont thin it works with  Optical drives
[06:24] <android> hi
[06:24] <android> how do i change my nickname
[06:24] <usr13> tion: In the settings manager you should find Display  and you can change screen size resolution there.
[06:24] <jaker44444> Ben64  30 * * * * rm /home/myusername/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp
[06:24] <jaker44444> now that's right ?
[06:24] <android> "/nick" dose not work
[06:24] <magn3ts_> tion, please run: lshw -c video | pastebinit
[06:24] <tion> i dont want you to see mu user naem
[06:24] <Ben64> jaker44444: most likely
[06:25] <jaker44444> i don't want it to remove the folder but the files inside the folder
[06:25] <jaker44444> so tell me what to do
[06:25] <android> hi
[06:25] <usr13> jaker44444:  30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp/*
[06:25] <Ben64> jaker44444: actually, then do /home/myusername/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp/*
[06:25] <dr_willis> tion:  change your PS1 prompt :) then it wont show the users name
[06:25] <Sail> android: /nick command is fine make sure the name you selected was not already taken
[06:25] <jaker44444> ok thanks
[06:25] <Ben64> jaker44444: just make sure that directory exists first
[06:25] <magn3ts_> dr_willis, lol, not what he needs right now :P
[06:25] <magn3ts_> tion, please run that last command, it does not output your username (or at least didn't for me)
[06:25] <jaker44444> thanks to both of you for the help.. do i need to type anything after i save and exit ?
[06:25] <dr_willis> Hes actually Bill Gates!
[06:25] <usr13> jaker44444: Or, if you need to remove the actual directory:  30 * * * * rm -rf /wine/windows/tmp   (But I doubt that is what you want.)
[06:26] <magn3ts_> jaker44444, what's piling up in there if you don't mind my asking
[06:26] <tion> display model -> crt0 bla bla
[06:26] <magn3ts_> tion, send me the link, please.
[06:26] <Feedhurley> I have never used any server before. And are now going in thoughts of putting up a FTP server. Do you recommend me to use software like filezilla or do you think i should do it by a virtual machine using a server OS ?
[06:26] <usr13> jaker44444: Yea, you need to use the full path to it.
[06:26] <tion> configuration -> disabled
[06:26] <jhansonxi> tion: I don't have an Nvidia system in front of me but I suspect it's disabled because it doesn't have root access.  The ATI utility has a separate "administrator" entry in the menus for making system-wide changes.  Is there a separate Nvidia entry in the menus that prompts for the root/sudo password?
[06:26] <Ben64> jhansonxi: don't need root for nvidia-settings
[06:27] <jaker44444> magn3ts that's a temporarliy folder for windows.. so just some trash files
[06:27] <jaker44444> not needed
[06:27] <jaker44444> logs and temp cached files
[06:27] <magn3ts> jaker44444, oh, I thought there was something happening that you needed to clear it that often o_0
[06:27] <jaker44444> in windows 90% of the time they stay there till you delete them
[06:27] <unreal82> dr_willis, it seems to be working, I'm virtualizing it right now. :
[06:27] <jaker44444> manually
[06:27] <tion> no im running it as root
[06:27] <magn3ts> tion, I'm not going to help you until you send me that link so I can confirm things.
[06:27] <usr13> jaker44444: You need to use the correct full path.  But if it is in the home dir, you can use  wine/windows/tmp     But is it  .wine?
[06:27] <Ben64> tion: don't run it as root :|
[06:28] <jaker44444> yes .wine
[06:28] <jaker44444> so is there a short cut to it ?
[06:28] <dr_willis> You could link Wine to .wine  ;) if you needed to access your .wine directory a lot
[06:28] <magn3ts> For crontab you'll need to use the full path /home/jaker44444/.wine/drive_c/windows/tmp probably...
[06:28] <usr13> jaker44444: short cut?   Just give the correct path.
[06:28] <jaker44444> mag3nts hahah.. ok
[06:29] <tion> if i click it there something saying separated screen requires restart
[06:29] <jaker44444> shortcut like in windows. i'm not an expert in linux
[06:29] <hych> I unzip a package-XY in download and want to install it! so I typed yum install XYZ but I get an error message:No package XYZ available . any help?
[06:29] <tion> were its saying disabled
[06:30] <jaker44444> anyway.. thanks all for the help
[06:30] <dr_willis> jaker44444:  linux file sustems support a thing called a 'link' which makes one thing appear in a differnt location.
[06:30] <magn3ts> tion, please run: lshw -c video | pastebinit   # and send me the link.
[06:30] <Ben64> tion: you should really delete xorg.conf and reboot
[06:30] <usr13> jaker44444: ls will tell you (the correct path).  ls /home/jaker44444/.wine/drive_c/windows/tmp   (Use the tab key somewhere along the way....)
[06:30] <dr_willis> jaker44444:  soft links (ln -s) and hard links (just ln)
[06:30] <tion> i dont have pastbini instaLE
[06:30] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get install pastebinit`
[06:30] <usr13> tion: you mean pastebinit ?
[06:31] <jhansonxi> tion: This may help if the problem is that the monitor is not properly detected: http://askubuntu.com/questions/218871/xorg-does-not-see-my-monitor-edid
[06:32] <oospill> hi
[06:32] <jhansonxi> tion: Another one: http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid
[06:33] <usr13> tion: xrandr | pastebinit   #And send us resulting URL
[06:33] <oospill> I'm on a live 10.04 cd trying to dual install along side win xp (which is on ntfs) .. the ntfs partition is damaged.
[06:33] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530159/
[06:33] <magn3ts> jhansonxi, too true, nvidia's prop driver barfs on these cheap Korean panels even though Nouvareu picks up on it just fine even with bad EDID output.
[06:34] <dr_willis> oospill:  the installer tools wont be able to resize a damaged ntfs partion
[06:34] <oospill> I used ntfsresize to change the primary partition, and then used fdisk to create another primary .. linux of course
[06:34] <magn3ts> jhansonxi, I have to manually modeset with `nvidia` :0 I think tion has a simpler problem though.
[06:34] <dr_willis> oospill:  so areyou  sure it succeded? or did you force it some how?
[06:34] <oospill> ahhhh
[06:34] <oospill> I did -f to force
[06:34] <dr_willis> resizeing a damaged ntfs- is not a good idea.. ;)
[06:35] <oospill> no other choice
[06:35] <oospill> when I print the partition list in fdisk it shows the new partition table just fine ..
[06:35] <dr_willis> could have  repired the ntfs...
[06:35] <oospill> did chkdsk /f /r twice
[06:35] <magn3ts> heh that doesn't mean much.
[06:35] <dr_willis> Oh well. Hope you got backups just in case of data loss on the ntfs.
[06:35] <oospill> got backups
[06:35] <magn3ts> I can make my partition table says LOTS of things ;)
[06:35] <oospill> just want to leave the old windows insatll that's all
[06:36] <oospill> right
[06:36] <oospill> cool ... soooo...
[06:36] <rhizmoe> hi all. is there a way to disable the requirement that symlinks to directories need two tab hits to complete out to the slash?
[06:36] <oospill> got the new partition table .. but on my live cd, going up to places, shows the original sized hard disk.
[06:36] <oospill> (80 GB)
[06:36] <tion> what now?
[06:36] <oospill> what now me too
[06:37] <dr_willis> oospill:  hav you rebooted since youve resized?
[06:37] <oospill> yes
[06:37] <usr13> rhizmoe: Can you re-phrase your question?
[06:37] <Ben64> tion: delete xorg.conf, reboot, start up nvidia-settings and set the resolution
[06:37] <dr_willis> You may want to run gparted and let it see and perhaps fix any errors it finds
[06:37] <magn3ts> Ben64, if his monitor really isn't putting out EDID info, I fully would expect the nvidia driver to bork on it.
[06:37] <oospill> gparted doesn't want to do anything to the ntfs fs
[06:38] <tion> its not going to work i need a custume IEDI file like on the web page thats for sure
[06:38] <oospill> the fs has a exclamation point next to it
[06:38] <dr_willis> If you have a backup of the ntfs.. id just delete it and restore it from backups.. but a ! may mean its mounted/in use..
[06:38] <dr_willis> check the mount command output - be sure its not mounted
[06:38] <magn3ts> tion, unfortunately, to do that, you either need to fire up nouvareu and get it's settings to write a modeline or EDI file or you're going to need the manual or just take a shot with an EDID calculator
[06:38] <oospill> checking ...
[06:39] <tion> this used to be so eazy once upon a time when you could just edit xorg.conf
[06:39] <Ben64> magn3ts: well the current xorg.conf isn't doing anything
[06:39] <oospill> not mounted. ! for damaged
[06:39] <magn3ts> Ben64, true, true, plus he needs to "reset" since it sounds like nvidia-settings is messed up too
[06:39] <Ben64> oospill: right click and go to information to find out why
[06:40] <Ben64> magn3ts: i'm thinking the conf might be affecting it
[06:40] <tion> this monitor can take any standart res / freq
[06:40] <rhizmoe> usr13: if ./partial is a symlink to a directory, part<tab> expands to `partial` and a second tab extends to `partial/`
[06:40] <tion> i have it 75 hdtz
[06:40] <tion> 11**x8**
[06:41] <rhizmoe> i know that the / means that if i rm -rf it that it will take out the target, but...hmm.
[06:41] <jhansonxi> tion: I'm out of ideas (other than you need get a new PC with PCI-E instead of old AGP)
[06:41] <oospill> this disk has bad sector .. etc .. checkdsk /f /r, then resize with --bad-sectors option of ntfsresize
[06:41] <guest____> hi
[06:41] <guest____> friends
[06:41] <Feedhurley> I have never used any server before. And are now going in thoughts of putting up a FTP server. Do you recommend me to use software like filezilla or do you think i should do it by a virtual machine using a server OS ?
[06:41] <tion> bah
[06:41] <oospill> that's what it says
[06:41] <guest____> is there anyone who have worked with citadel :)
[06:41] <the_dark_knight> Hi, I know I should ask this in #mysql. But can't connect to #mysql. Has anybody resolved this error before- "ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction" I get this while updating a column of a table using its primary key. Please help me.
[06:41] <magn3ts> guest____, no, sorry. You should just ask your question though.
[06:42] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  ftp is old and considered a security risk. better to learn to use ssh and sftp
[06:42] <tion> why did they have to make xrandr and break xorg.conf?
[06:42] <magn3ts> the_dark_knight, the first sentence was the best one, especially if it's happening whenever you're executing your update.
[06:42] <tion> MF
[06:42] <guest____> friends i want to upload a sieve script on my citadel server
[06:42] <jhansonxi> tion: You can still edit the file manually.  Just: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (but make a backup first!)
[06:42] <magn3ts> xrandr broke xorg.conf?
[06:42] <Feedhurley> dr_willis i guess its much more complicated aswell?
[06:42] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  install the ssh server package.. and start sshing in....
[06:42] <usr13> rhizmoe: So what you want to do is ____________________?
[06:43] <tion> they broke it i used to edit that long ago
[06:43] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  given the total disasters ive seen happen with ftp.. id say not really. :)
[06:43] <tion> in debian
[06:43] <guest____> magn3ts, as i know managesieve is there to upload
[06:43] <magn3ts> tion, I'm willing to bet money that when you did this in the past you weren't using the `nvidia` driver...
[06:43] <tion> yes i was
[06:43] <tion> and playing urt and quake3
[06:43] <guest____> magn3ts . but i didnt get the way to do that
[06:43] <tion> and et
[06:43] <magn3ts> tion, then they either broke their driver, you can use xrandr or you can still set the res manually in xorg.
[06:43] <tion> and everything worked
[06:44] <magn3ts> tion, Ben's right, delete your xorg.conf and start over.
[06:44] <oospill> ntfsresize shows 'current volume' at 39G and current device size 80G .. that's what I told it to do!! however gparted shows the disk as 80G!!! fdisk shows 37 and 40
[06:44] <oospill> ntfs sux
[06:44] <Feedhurley> dr_willis hmm okey, ill take a look at that. My goal at the moment is not a perfect server, more of learning and then go on get it better and more secure. By the way does ssh let you stream content from your server?
[06:44] <magn3ts> tion, this is like helping my parents do Quicken. They spend 4 hours on it, I go in and reset it and do it from scratch in 10 minutes. sometimes it's time to just go back to a clean slate.
[06:44] <magn3ts> guest____, managesieve? That's dovecot for managing sieve scripts for mail related stuff, as far as I know.
[06:45] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  stream is a rather broad term. :) a UPNP server can stream video...   samba has 'shares'    you can  mount a remote ssh location to a local directory via sshfs and play stuff.
[06:45] <Ben64> its not like his xorg.conf is full of stuff, its super generic and unnecessary
[06:45] <magn3ts> Mhmm.
[06:45] <oospill> nobody loves me anymore
[06:45] <oospill> =P
[06:45] <tion> i did apt-get install nvidia-current
[06:45] <guest____> magn3ts , u r right
[06:45] <tion> and had 1024.840
[06:46] <tion> but no glx
[06:46] <Hoyt> Hi, Is maverick (10.10) out of support?
[06:46] <Ben64> Hoyt: yep
[06:46] <dr_willis> !10.10
[06:46] <tion> is this stupid or what?
[06:46] <magn3ts> oospill, according to the warnings gparted usually spits out, sometimes you need a restart for the kernel to see new partition sizes
[06:46] <Feedhurley> dr_willis is samba a type of server or just a extension software?
[06:46] <guest____> magn3ts as it is also included in the citadel http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/documentation:appproto:manage_sieve
[06:46] <dr_willis> !samba | Feedhurley
[06:46] <magn3ts> but that sounds strange. I avoid resizing and using ntfs for a reason :)
[06:46] <Ben64> tion: so what did you do after that
[06:46] <Hoyt> Thanks
[06:46] <jhansonxi> tion: Create a new default xorg.conf with: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/225
[06:46] <magn3ts> guest____, yeah, but what's your question about it ?
[06:46] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  its what does 'windows network type shares'
[06:47] <tion> i installed the recomended driver 173
[06:47] <oospill> magn3ts: I've rebooted.
[06:47] <tion> and back to this stupid res
[06:47] <Ben64> tion: then delete xorg.conf, reboot, start up nvidia-settings and set the resolution
[06:47] <guest____> magn3ts , i want to upload a sieve script manually from GUI
[06:47] <guest____> of citadel
[06:47] <magn3ts> tion, well, do step 1, 2, and 3, but for step 4 of jhansonxi's link, don't use sudo.
[06:48] <Ben64> don't need xorg.conf for 12.04
[06:48] <magn3ts> guest___, yeah, mate you'll probably want to see if citadel has an IRC room or something, best I can do is guess random things like: try to find a mail client that support managesieve and upload with that?
[06:48] <oospill> the short story is I'm living at a sober living house and want to install ubuntu off this 10.04.4 live disc I have, and keep winxp incase everyone hates it.  not my puter.
[06:48] <magn3ts> Ben64, it's still necessary to get X to use the `nvidia` driver isn't it?
[06:48] <oospill> I can get another blank disc tomorrow ..
