[04:29] <Jordan_U> zebe42: If they are available, yes. But it doesn't depend on them it can still do CPU virtualiztion without it (with a slight, maybe 1 to 2%, performance loss. nothing like qemu which is something like 1/10th native speed since it's emulation rather than virtualization).
[04:29] <gaelfx> JZApples: that's how it's supposed to work, you uave to use terminal+sudo to do stuff as "root"
[04:29] <celthunder> MerlynKorr: ATI Radeon. HD 3200 gl lol amd drivers are the worst thing since cannibalism.
[04:29] <littlebearspa> _RED_; they going to fix - do you know?
[04:29] <cvr> avis: no
[04:29] <gaelfx> Hebram: yeah, that's what I figured would happen. You should install gconf-editor if you haven't already and look for power/screen settings
[04:29] <InferiorHumanOrg> megabitdragon: yea but nothing should have changed in the 23 kernel...
[04:29] <JZApples> but I'm talking normal things that i have done in the past, like mount drives or unlock the user account settings
 fraid not. try a Lubuntu or some thing
[04:30] <MerlynKorr> so how do i compensate for this littleblem n gee im hungry lol
[04:30] <subb1> gaelfx, I guess i found a fix to that.. not sure how to do it.
[04:30] <gaelfx> Hebram: though I'm not totally sure that the problem can be solved from there, you should at least find something that points to where it can be solved
[04:30] <rinzler> so, the release update wouldn't come in through the terminal, but when I went to update manager, it showed it downloaded but not installed. so I installed it, restarted, then ran lsb_release -a and it's still saying oneiric... any ideas?
[04:30] <MerlynKorr> problem...*
[04:30] <Hebram> sudo apter get install gconf-editor
[04:30] <gaelfx> subb1: what did you do?
[04:30] <littlebearspa> _RED_: ok, thanks for reply - have a good one!
[04:30] <Hebram> LOL.. wrong terminal and a typos too
[04:30] <subb1> gaelfx, UPDATE 2 in this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127387/cant-login-through-gui-after-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04
[04:30] <JZApples> gaelfx, but I'm talking normal things that i have done in the past, like mount drives or unlock the user account settings
[04:31] <zebe42> Jordan_U,  celthunder, thanks... I think I'll try another of my computers than :P
 the 6xxx stuff is pretty old your better off upgrading your lappy
[04:31] <subb1> gaelfx, it finally directs to here: https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/sru1/+build/3118994
[04:32] <padhu1> where can i get ubuntu compatible web-cam list
[04:32] <MerlynKorr> where can  i find the drivers i used to have?[despair sets in].
[04:32] <gaelfx> subb1: well, glad you found something. is it actually working now?
[04:33] <celthunder> MerlynKorr: amd.com or the open source ones should be in the repo
[04:33] <megabitdragon> InferiorHumanOrg, Actually I just noticed that it use to work on 0-24 with the proprietary drivers and it stopped after reboot. This doesn't make any sense.
[04:33] <mjs7231> Hey, Is it possible to remove the Music/Video/Photo folders from the left pane in Nautilus in 12.04?
[04:33] <MerlynKorr> is there a way to roll back the drivers on my 12.04 installation?
[04:33] <subb1> gaelfx, no. I installed the .deb package. but it  fails when i try to install .udeb package.
[04:33] <scientes> what is the best way to manage installing ubuntu, with lots of local changes on many machines?
[04:33] <windowsguy> guys should i install xubuntu or lubuntu on my old pc? with 512 mb ram and 64 mb integrated graphics?
[04:33] <MerlynKorr> oops sorry... how do i get the repos?
[04:34] <timmy_> anyone know how to install ubuntu one on xfce(xubuntu)?
[04:34] <scientes> windowsguy, either, and you always install both!
[04:34] <timmy_> i installed already i dunno how to run it its not in my apps list
 set up one install then make an image off the HDD and flash all the computers
[04:34] <scientes> _RED_, how about upgrades?
[04:34] <scientes> _RED_, and online update?
[04:34] <_RED_> you make one install customize it
[04:35] <_RED_> then make image of HDD
[04:35] <rinzler> so, the release update wouldn't come in through the terminal, but when I went to update manager, it showed it downloaded but not installed. so I installed it, restarted, then ran lsb_release -a and it's still saying oneiric... any ideas?
[04:35] <gaelfx> subb1: what's error when it fails?
[04:35] <JanneM> "This pacakge would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources" and then the installation fails. Stock 12.04 when I try to install Samba. How to get around it?
[04:36] <gaelfx> windowsguy: I personally would prefer xubuntu, but you could livecd both of them and see which is better for you
[04:36] <cleric_preston> I can not load GRUB and therefore I am unable to boot Ubuntu, the only OS I am able to run is WIN7. I tried fixing it with super boot from USB but it says "file not found thingie". What should I do?
 try a diffrent bootloader
[04:36] <windowsguy> scientes sorry i dont quite understand.. i thought xubuntu uses less memory and lubuntu even less... what i want to know is..will xubuntu run good on 512 meg ram?  and sykpe+chrome open at same time?
[04:37] <gaelfx> rinzler: why not just do a fresh install of 12.04? using the update manager usually has a lot of problems anyhow
 Go for a load in ram distro like Puppy
[04:37] <gaelfx> windowsguy: xubuntu will run well on 512, but chrome and skype at the same time is a bit much for 512 ram
[04:38] <gaelfx> windowsguy: skype should be fine, but chrome is a memory hog
[04:38] <MerlynKorr> where do i obtain the repos for video/audio?
[04:38] <windowsguy> well chrome and skype run okaish on my window xp with 512 meg ram
[04:38] <windowsguy> i thought ubuntu will be better
[04:38] <timmy_> @windowsguy it will run... but itll be laggy
 Puppy Linux problem solved
[04:38] <gaelfx> windowsguy: they'll probably run okish on xubuntu too, but why not upgrade the RAM?
[04:38] <timmy_> @windowsguy are you running xfce or unity
[04:39] <rinzler> gaelfx: I would just be updating from the iso... I've got a lot of things on my drive that i'm not going to wipe...
[04:39] <subb1> gaelfx, please see - http://pastebin.com/q624ENRG
[04:40] <cleric_preston> I don't have the option to select Ubuntu even though both Ubuntu and Win7 are installed what should i DO?
[04:41] <gaelfx> rinzler: next time you should put / and /home on separate partitions
[04:41] <padhu1> why update manager will not show me the message 'Ubuntu12.04 is available. are you want upgrade?'
[04:41] <padhu1> I am using Ubuntu 10.04
[04:41] <rinzler> gaelfx: i'm talking about system configs and desktops...
[04:41] <yaramba> cleric_preston: Xd
[04:42] <rinzler> gaelfx: or environments, more like...
[04:46] <tawang> hi
[04:47] <tawang> anyone know where to go to know about NLP
[04:47] <tawang> ?
[04:47] <scientes> my hotplug sata isn't working
[04:48] <gaelfx> padhu1: I don't believe they support upgrading that way from 10.04>12.04, you have to go to the next version, then the next version from that, etc
[04:48] <Sazpaimon> I just realized today that you can bind mount individual files
[04:48] <Sazpaimon> that's... awesome
[04:48] <gaelfx> padhu1: or you can just install 12.04 from a CD/USB which is much easier
[04:49] <Flannel> gaelfx, padhu1: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported (10.04 to 12.04), but you won't be prompted by default for another few months
[04:49] <gaelfx> rinzler: did you actually try upgrading from the iso?
[04:49] <gaelfx> Flannel: really? cool :D
[04:49] <Flannel> padhu1: If you want to upgrade now, you'll want to start update-manager with a -d switch.
[04:49] <rinzler> gaelfx: no
[04:49] <rinzler> not yer
[04:49] <rinzler> *yet
[04:49] <Flannel> gaelfx: yeah, every other case you would be correct (version -> version+1)
[04:50] <padhu1> gaelfx: LTS to LTS upgrade was available when 8.04 to 10.04. My next plan is fresh installation. But only thing is i need all applications installed currently
[04:50] <Flannel> gaelfx: So you could go 6.06 to 8.04, and 8.04 to 10.04 and 10.04 to 12.04 (you can't go 8.04 to 12.04)
[04:51] <gaelfx> Flannel: that seems reasonable to me
[04:51] <padhu1> Flannel: Now i am having Ubuntu 10.04
[04:51] <gaelfx> padhu1: actually, you could just upgrade from the iso if you want, but I've never done that so I'm not sure how well it works
[04:51] <Jordan_U> padhu1: Run "update-manager --devel-release" if you want to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 now.
[04:52] <taxman> I have a dozen of pendrives for different versions of ubuntu
[04:52] <padhu1> gaelfx: oh
[04:52] <padhu1> Jordan: okey
[04:52] <GeForce88> ubi-partman exits with error code 10 on install. is ther ea fix ?
[04:52] <Jordan_U> GeForce88: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[04:53] <cvr> is there an ubuntu variant that is using gnome-shell instead of unity?
[04:53] <GeForce88> Jordan_U, installikng from usb stick. not sure where ubuntu would save this file
[04:54] <Jordan_U> !notunity | cvr
[04:54] <gaelfx> subb1: sorry about the late reply, but I've no idea what the error really means
[04:55] <Jordan_U> GeForce88: Simply run "sudo parted -l" and copy / paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com .
[04:55] <GeForce88> Jordan_U, upon launching ubuntu 12.4 with "install ubuntu to hard disk..." the ubi fails. when i "try ubuntu first" it won't boot period. at first thought this was 12.04 beta issue, but for e problem presists
[04:56] <Jordan_U> GeForce88: When exactly happens when you select the "try ubuntu first" option?
[04:56] <cvr> Jordan_U, thanks I know that i can just install the gnome-shell packages but it really doesn't integrate well and hasnt had any polish love which is why im searching for something based on ubuntu with gnome-shell as the primary shell
[04:57] <gaelfx> padhu1: also, if you are really worried about keeping your apps, I think you should use ubuntu one, it's supposed to help you do that sort of thing
[04:58] <Maya> Adobe flash Settings Manager dialog box in Ubuntu 12.04 is not click-able, how can I resolve this kind of issue?
[04:58] <GeForce88> Jordan_U,  now i'm getting error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referanced: 3336
[04:58] <gaelfx> they should make a flubuntu spin. fluxbox is awesome :D
[04:58] <CellTech> Lubuntu 12. rocks. Need GStreamer mpeg-1 codec.. How do I aquire
[04:58] <Maya> Rightclick in any adobe flash video, then click on "Settings".
[04:58] <padhu1> gaelfx: is it possible to get the installed applications list to fresh install using apt-get?
[04:58] <Maya> You will then see the problem.
[04:58] <gaelfx> padhu1: not sure what you mean
[05:00] <padhu1> gaelfx: how can i get the list of installed applications in my machine?
[05:00] <GeForce88> Jordan_U, ok, when i select "try ubuntu first" nothing happens. when i try install ubuntu ubi-partman fails with error code 10
[05:01] <chilled_> How do you install mono on ubuntu server? I tried installing with "apt-get install mono" but it said "Unable to locate package mono"
[05:01] <gaelfx> padhu1: that's what ubuntu one is for, IIRC
[05:01] <Maya> chilled_: Change your apt sources.lst
[05:01] <Maya> chilled_: sources.list*
[05:02] <padhu1> gaelfx: oh.
[05:02] <Maya> Then run sudo apt-get update
[05:02] <chilled_> What source though?
[05:02] <Maya> chilled_: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:02] <Maya> Add in more things.
[05:02] <phoenixK> sudo apt-add-repository
[05:02] <phoenixK> is better
[05:02] <chilled_> Maya, i know that. But what repository is it?
[05:03] <Maya> chilled_: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/            Use that to generate what you need.
[05:03] <Maya> Then use: mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
[05:03] <Maya> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list                 Paste, and save.
[05:04] <Jordan_U> chilled_: The package you want is probably "mono-complete".
[05:04] <GeForce88> going to download text installer and try that
[05:04] <Maya> chilled_: Check in the first 8 boxes. That should be enough for everyone.
[05:04] <anarchitect> esper.net
[05:05] <Maya> chilled_: Actually, the first 6 boxes.
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Maya: The problem was that chilled_ had the wrong package name, that is all.
[05:05] <rinzler> how to find my kernel version?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> rinzler: uname -r
[05:05] <rinzler> thx
[05:05] <Jordan_U> You're welcome
[05:06] <phoenixK> anyone using gnome-do in on 12.04
[05:07] <Maya> phoenixK: You mean that run command thing in unity?
[05:07] <balazs> hi. what do I do if the software center tells that my catalog needs to be repaired, but if cannot because it needs to remove an essential system package ?
[05:07] <phoenixK> Maya: yes
[05:08] <Jordan_U> balazs: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[05:08] <kamilnadeem> Hi , Having a problem with screen refresh rate on 12.04
[05:08] <kamilnadeem> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126928/system-reverts-to-87hz-refresh-rate-at-every-startup-after-i-have-installed-nvid
[05:08] <Jordan_U> balazs: If asked to remove anything say "no" for now.
[05:08] <kamilnadeem> The system reverts to 87Hz even after I have set it to 60Hz
[05:08] <kamilnadeem> How to fix it?
[05:10] <eagle> anyone has the problem with ubuntu 12 on update manager telling that the cache/package information is too old (in my case it says 32 days)??
[05:11] <phoenixK> eagle, I'm assuming  you have done a > sudo apt-get update
[05:12] <pratz> hey guys i am using ffmpeg, how can i compress a directory ??
[05:13] <Maya> phoenixK: I guess so, but I heard that uninstalling it can fix my adobe flash problems.
[05:13] <Maya> Problem*
[05:14] <eagle> @phoenixK: yes i did but still no luck
[05:16] <Maya> eagle: Try: sudo apt-get clean
[05:18] <Maya> eagle: Try: sudo apt-get clean
[05:20] <gaelfx> pratz: could you give a little more detail about what you're trying to do?
[05:20] <eagle> k am trying now
[05:20] <cvr> is there an ubuntu variant that is using gnome-shell instead of unity by default?
[05:20] <gaelfx> !notunity | cvr
[05:20] <pratz> gaelfx: I want to compress my Music Directory recursively with ffmpeg, but can not find a way
[05:21] <pratz> gaelfx: i guess i have to use a shell script for this, but i am not quite sure
[05:21] <erujolc> writting a script to setup a new desktops/laptop i use, is the best way to find if a package is install 'dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep <pkg-name>' ?>
[05:21] <JZApples> why can't i edit my network connections, mount drives, change user accounts, via the gui in ubuntu 11.10 with an administrator account?
[05:21] <xpistos> okay so I tried a few things and I now that I can manually mount my network drive with "sudo mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/nanette/Titan /home/x/Titan" but if I add <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/nanette/Titan /home/x/Titan	NFS	defaults	0	1 to /etc/fstab,  and if get eror messages when I reboot and if I try to "sudo mount -a" and I get an error that says "mount: unknown filesystem type 'NFS'"
[05:21] <gaelfx> pratz: you mean like batch transcoding, or are you talking about compressing?
[05:21] <cvr> gaelfx: thanks I know that i can just install the gnome-shell packages but it really doesn't integrate well and hasnt had any polish love which is why im searching for something based on ubuntu with gnome-shell as the primary shell
[05:21] <pratz> gaelfx: compressing
[05:21] <eagle> maya: did that then should i do another apt-get update?
[05:22] <gaelfx> cvr: well, Linux Mint is pretty close I think
[05:22] <pratz> gaelfx: i want to run this command on Music directory recursively "ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp3 -ab 128 outputfile.mp3"
[05:23] <xpistos> any ideas why it works manually but not in fstab?
[05:24] <InferiorHumanOrg> pratz: don't take this the wrong way but music sounds really bad on mp3 @ 128
[05:24] <InferiorHumanOrg> storage space is cheap my friend and .flac is the way to go
[05:24] <cvr> gaelfx: thx, i'll have to have another look at mint to see what its like
[05:24] <pratz> InferiorHumanOrg: i know dude but those are all old songs and i just want to keep a backup of them
[05:24] <erujolc> find . -name '*.mp3' -print | xargs -n1 --replace=SUBFILE ffmpeg -i SUBFILE -ab 128 SUBFILE
[05:24] <phoenixK> unless you have a ssd
[05:25] <InferiorHumanOrg> ssd for main boot drive then grab a 1tb+ for storage.
[05:25] <phoenixK> :)
[05:25] <erujolc> you can use -exec on find but i forgot the syntax, also technically we should use NULL byte as delimiter but this will get you going unless you want to be a purist
[05:27] <tjf> by the way, Unity in 12.04 is a huge improvement over that in 11.10
[05:27] <phoenixK> its pretty awesome
[05:27] <InferiorHumanOrg> eh
[05:27] <tjf> I found it utterly unusable in 11.10, but now it's nice in 12.04
[05:27] <InferiorHumanOrg> really?
[05:27] <InferiorHumanOrg> I gave it a try and RAN back to xfce ;\
[05:27] <erujolc> it is definitely improvement over b1 (that did suck), but still clunky,
[05:27] <tjf> i still like gnome-panel, I do too much multitasking to be able to use unity
[05:27] <erujolc> and baxk to xubuntu/xfce
[05:28] <taxman> for an eye candy, yes
[05:28] <InferiorHumanOrg> erujolc: yep :-)
[05:28] <JZApples> i love how everyone is finally starting to realize unity's potential
[05:28] <tjf> I was using Debian for a while until I decided I wanted to try something new today.
[05:29] <cvr> tjr: debian testing has gnome-shell
[05:29] <InferiorHumanOrg> idk I find unity to be as clunky as a 50pound weight.
[05:29] <tjf> JZApples: I don't think it really appeals to most Linux users.
[05:29] <woo> what is the best way to remove unity?
[05:29] <erujolc> try xubuntu it basically ubuntu with a polished xfce (although you can use xfce with ubuntu normal edition)
[05:29] <kamilnadeem> THis is not the right channel for such discussions
[05:29] <kamilnadeem> go to off topic
[05:29] <JZApples> tjf, but i'm a new linux user and like the change
[05:29] <InferiorHumanOrg> woo: install xubuntu-desktop or something and then just remove the package for ubuntu-desktop
[05:29] <windowsguy> for pc with 512 mb ram.. xubuntu or lubuntu?
[05:29] <woo> ty InferiorHumanOrg
[05:30] <tjf> s/most Linux users/hardcore Linux users/
[05:30] <tjf> then again, most hardcore Linux users will be using Arch or Gentoo :P
[05:30] <windowsguy> and what about bodhi linux..anyone tried it?
[05:30] <tjf> sudo make install
[05:30] <InferiorHumanOrg> windowsguy: xubuntu should run on 512 but don't quote me on that
[05:30] <tjf> (fail)
[05:30] <InferiorHumanOrg> tjf: lol, meant for your terminal i'd guess
[05:31] <tjf> InferiorHumanOrg: true
[05:31] <Fyodorovna> windowsguy, lubuntu might be a good one to try and bodhi is a good OS.
[05:31] <phoenixK> tjf, why would hardcore linux users use arch or gentoo
[05:32] <gaelfx> pratz: according to the man page, there is no recursive option for ffmpeg
[05:32] <tjf> phoenixK: They're the most customizable, and not exactly easy for new users to figure out
[05:32] <pratz> gaelfx: ya i now that
[05:32] <mobile>      sss
[05:32] <tjf> i've used Linux for >5 years, not super long, but long enough for me to know my way around a system, and Arch was difficult to get going
[05:33] <InferiorHumanOrg> gentoo is cool if you want to spend your life compiling.
[05:33] <tjf> Took me the better part of a weekend to get xfce working
[05:33] <gaelfx> pratz: so your best option is probably scripting it
[05:33] <phoenixK> tjf, can't you be hardcore and use ubuntu :)
[05:33] <zebe42> Jordan_U, hi again... I just booted up my non-xen kernel and I get a positive result with kvm-ok
[05:34] <oragsy> Hello! I kept my laptop running Ubuntu 11.10 for upgrade to latest LTS release yesterday. But I forgot to connect it to AC supply that in battery mode sometime soon after download or during initial upgrade the laptop powered off. Now I can no longer boot system. I get this error when it tries to boot: : http://paste.ubuntu.com/954275/
[05:34] <oragsy> And hangs in the last line'
[05:34] <oragsy> How can I fix it please?
[05:34] <gaelfx> phoenixK: you can, but arch is a lot more intense, imo
[05:34] <windowsguy> guys can someone give me link for lubuntu 12.04 torrent?
[05:34] <InferiorHumanOrg> oragsy: i'd do a fresh install
[05:35] <gaelfx> oragsy: I would try doing a fresh install of Precise
[05:35] <phoenixK> yeah... i guess i'm just a little biased... been using ubuntu since hoary hedgehog
[05:35] <gaelfx> windowsguy: you should be able to find it at releases.ubuntu.com
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> i have a problem installing nntpgrab, saying it needs nntpgrabcore but cant install cause holded packages..
[05:36] <rinzler> is there a simple way to find the model of my graphics card short of opening up my case?
[05:36] <InferiorHumanOrg> aight night everyone
[05:36] <oragsy> InferiorHumanOrg: gaelfx: But what about the configurations and settings in /home.. Will it remain if I reinstall retaining /home?
[05:36] <gaelfx> phoenixK: yeah, I understand. I like ubuntu, it's relatively painless compared to other distros, for me at least
[05:36] <InferiorHumanOrg> rinzler: lspci | grep VGA
[05:36] <gaelfx> rinzler: lspci?
[05:36] <windowsguy> that is ubuntu..i want lubuntu
[05:36] <InferiorHumanOrg> oragsy: yea if you don't overwrite it
[05:36] <rinzler> InferiorHumanOrg: thx
[05:36] <oragsy> InferiorHumanOrg: Ok, I'll try
[05:37] <InferiorHumanOrg> ok bed time. night all ;-P
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> !info lubuntu-desktop | windowsguy
[05:37] <gaelfx> phoenixK: but with arch, I had such a greater sense of accomplishment when something finally actually worked :D
[05:37] <gaelfx> windowsguy: all officially supported spins should be there
[05:38] <phoenixK> gaelfx: haha nice
[05:39] <cvr> only problem I have with arch is its a rolling release, so its always a moving target
[05:39] <gaelfx> windowsguy from releases.ubuntu.com, click the lubuntu link to get: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/
[05:40] <gaelfx> cvr: that's what makes it so fun, there's almost ALWAYS something to fix :D
[05:41] <gaelfx>  /end o-t
[05:41] <CAPITALISMUS> HOW MANY MILLIONS ARE USING UBUNTU?
[05:42] <Melon_Bread> I do not imagine more than 1 or maybe 2
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> hmm lemme count lol
[05:42] <cvr> CAPITALISMUSL there are no concrete numbers
[05:42] <chilled_> Isnt there a statistcs page for that?

[05:43] <pratz> gaelfx: thanks god i am a python programmer
[05:44] <gaelfx> pratz: I would imagine that would make scripting that situation a lot easier, yeah
[05:44] <rpk> LibreOffice^^^
[05:44] <pratz> gaelfx: ya but i do not know shell script
[05:44] <muinas> Hello! Are latest AMD 12.04 drivers working with ATI/Intel switchable graphics under U 12.04? Using Acer Aspire 4820TG. With Ubuntu 10.10 switchable graphics worked.
[05:46] <gaelfx> pratz: can't you make a python script that makes shell scripts? ;)
[05:47] <pratz> gaelfx: ya i am doing something like that
[05:49] <CAPITALISMUS> i program HP
[05:49] <CAPITALISMUS> i program PHP
[05:50] <neattoas1> ok
[05:50] <ubuntu> Hey I think I broke my Ubuntu installation.   For one thing, there was a kernel panic.   Then when I tried to reboot it went into a grub shell.   Now I get errors when I plug in the USB to try to install Ubuntu
[05:50] <neattoas1> I had that once.
[05:50] <neattoas1> I reinstalled
[05:51] <halfie_> why is ubuntu consuming so much cpu when playing a youtube video http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1522424/cpu-usage-ubuntu-youtube.png
[05:51] <ubuntu> I think I'm going to have to reinstall Ubuntu on the USB as well
[05:51] <gaelfx> halfie_: is it flash for webm?
[05:51] <rpk> I'm running vanilla fresh install of 12.04, all I did was apply updates and go to start uninstalling things....
[05:51] <gaelfx> *or
[05:51] <neattoas1> try the html5 version of youtube
[05:52] <halfie_> gaelfx: neattoas1 does ubuntu comes with flash pre-installed. I haven't installed flash myself
[05:52] <taxman> youtube's html5 doesn't work here
[05:52] <taxman> i worked for years until...
[05:52] <donpdonp> after apt-get install vlc-nox, vlc plays movies in ascii-art.
[05:52] <neattoas1> try installing google chrome to get pepper flash
[05:52] <gaelfx> halfie_: no, it doesn't, but what browser are you using?
[05:53] <halfie_> gaelfx: firefox
[05:53] <neattoas1> Try chrome.
[05:53] <donpdonp> any ideas on how to get vlc to use regular video?
[05:53] <halfie_> gaelfx: chrome just crashes badly on every youtube page
[05:53] <gaelfx> halfie_: yeah, chrome should be better
[05:53] <gaelfx> halfie_: but flash is a cpu hog almost no matter what you're using
[05:53] <taxman> chrome = google's probe for everybody?
[05:54] <gaelfx> taxman: I could care less what information of mine they're using for advertising, as long people don't come knocking on my door
[05:55] <neattoas1> Agreed
[05:55] <cvr> you can try HW acceleration for flash
[05:55] <gaelfx> cvr: does flash for linux have any hw acceleration?
[05:55] <rinzler> anybody know where to point me for help with nvidia graphics cards under ubuntu? I'm trying to get the s-video working...
[05:56] <gaelfx> rinzler: what card are you using?
[05:56] <neattoas1> Try loading the video into vlc
[05:56] <neattoas1> *youtube video
[05:56] <rinzler> gaelfx: GeForce FX 5200
[05:56] <CAPITALISMUS> download the video and watch it in your tv
[05:56] <gaelfx> halfie_: it crashes on youtube pages? that's pretty weird, did you check the log to see what went wrong?
[05:57] <cvr> gaelfx, yeh only for nvidia still i think though
[05:57] <gaelfx> cvr: figures
[05:57] <neattoas1> I think I heard about some sort of fix...
[05:57] <gaelfx> rinzler: are you using the proprietary drivers?
[05:58] <rba1988> took around 6 seconds to boot 12.04 on ssd.:D
[05:58] <rinzler> gaelfx: just whatever ubuntu supplied me.
[05:58] <CAPITALISMUS> why dont they use xvid in you tube?
[05:59] <neattoas1> xvid for linux?
[05:59] <rodayo> Hi all, I'm having an issue with the gnome-terminal. The opacity level for the solid color seems to be controlling botht the color and the background-image option. So setting it to 0 makes a clear background, somewhere in the middle both the solid purple and the image are visible and at 100 the background is purple. I've never had this issue before...anyone know a fix?
[05:59] <CAPITALISMUS> its the best stream friendlly codex
[05:59] <Garr255> I think they did at one point
[05:59] <raptor67682> how to split files with bash to 100 mb (wiht cat)?
[05:59] <neattoas1> rodayo: Try reinstalling gnome-terminal
[05:59] <gaelfx> rinzler: you might want to try the proprietary drivers, but it also might help if we know a little more about your issue
[05:59] <cvr> CAPITALISMUS, i think they use a mix of H264 + webm
[06:00] <rodayo> neatoas1, i've tried this already...i actually did a clean re-install after after the final release of precise was out. so i was having this issue in beta 2 as well
[06:00] <neattoas1> weird.
[06:00] <neattoas1> Did you try clearing your past settings?
[06:01] <rodayo> neattoas1, how do you do that?
[06:01] <neattoas1> I'm not too sure, but I would say check your .config folder.
[06:01] <gaelfx> rinzler: by the way, you need to use 173 nvidia drivers if you do that
[06:01] <neattoas1> (/home/your_username/.config)
[06:01] <gaelfx> rinzler: the 295 driver won't work with your card
[06:02] <subb1> gaelfx, sorry. was not at the desk
[06:02] <rinzler> gaelfx: I haven't tried anything with the s-video out yet, so I just wanted to explore my options. Just Plugging it in didn't do anything, and it'll display anything BIOS related, but once it gets into X, it stops displaying on the s-video. Ubuntu gave me a 173 driver in additional drivers...
[06:02] <gaelfx> I don't care what format they decide on for streaming in the future, so long as it supports toggleable subtitles, I'll be happy
[06:03] <gaelfx> subb1: not a prob
[06:03] <subb1> gaelfx, not able to scroll back to ur last message.
[06:04] <gaelfx> rinzler: well, after you plugged in the cable, did you go to Settings>Displays and click detect displays?
[06:04] <gaelfx> subb1: I think it was just that I don't what to do about it, so it's no big deal
[06:05] <rodayo> neattoas1, tried grepping for "terminal" inside ~/.config i don't see anything else that might be related to it
[06:05] <subb1> gaelfx, ok. I'll try to get a fix. let me see. thanks :)
[06:05] <neattoas1> rodayo, did you check gconf?
[06:05] <siloxid`> I'm trying to install the ratpoison wm.  after install I don't see an option to use it from the initial login.  and when I login I only get the blank default desktop pic
[06:06] <rinzler> gaelfx: it's not giving me an option to do that...
[06:06] <rodayo> neattoas1, where's that?
[06:06] <inoune> salut
[06:06] <halfie_> gaelfx: I get high cpu usage with chromium too. I am using fglrx driver.
[06:06] <neattoas1> open the program gnonf-editor
[06:06] <gaelfx> rinzler: I'm not sure if the nouveau drivers actually support s-video or not, you should at least give the proprietary drivers a shot
[06:06] <neattoas1> look under apps
[06:06] <rodayo> neattoas1, seems i didn't have it...1 sec
[06:07] <inoune> can anyone help me in commande "grep"?
[06:07] <cvr> rodayo, are you sure thats not the expected behaviour? thats the same result I get when playing with it
[06:07] <rodayo> cvr, that's really strange then because I remember having a solid background image back when I was using oneiric
[06:07] <gaelfx> halfie_: I think, like cvr said, hw acceleration for flash is only working with nvidia cards, so all flash content is using cpu instead of gpu
[06:08] <rinzler> gaelfx: the proprietary driver is the one that's running...
[06:08] <rodayo> cvr, i'm sure the developers meant for you to have that option of a solid bg image
[06:09] <gaelfx> rinzler: sorry, I thought you said before it was a clean install, so I assumed you hadn't installed the prop drivers
[06:09] <cvr> rodayo, so when u have a background image selected and the slider set to none it doesnt show you a solid bg image?
[06:10] <vigil__> How can one copy a file so that the new filename has a current datetime stamp?
[06:10] <ANub> why some games do not get full-screened on 12.04.....?
[06:10] <rinzler> gaelfx: well, even in a clean install, it uses the prop drivers by default.
[06:10] <ANub> they were ok till 11.04
[06:10] <ANub> they were ok till 11.04 and 11.10
[06:10] <gaelfx> rinzler: I don't think that's true...
[06:10] <rinzler> gaelfx: *shrug* happened for me
[06:11] <gaelfx> rinzler: ok, what does nvidia-settings say about it then? does the second display show up in there?
[06:11] <rodayo> cvr, it's a little weird, the image is "semi transparent" if i place it over a dark background app you can make out the image. Or if I place over a text editor with black text then the text will get colored according to the image...kinda like an overlay filter in photoshop
[06:11] <inoune> hi everybody
[06:12] <ANub> why some games do not get full-screened on 12.04..?
[06:12] <kakacka2123> Hey help me, I am running the Ubuntu live CD and Im trying to fix the GRUB
[06:12] <kakacka2123> since i couldn't choose to boot to Ubuntu and it automatically entered in Win7.
[06:12] <CAPITALISMUS> ~my house is bugged
[06:12] <kakacka2123> So how do I fix it?
[06:12] <rinzler> gaelfx: no. the display configuration page says that it was unable to load because "Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0."
[06:13] <ANub> kakacka2123: reinstall GRUB loader
[06:13] <gaelfx> rinzler: are you sure the cable you're using is in working order?
[06:13] <ANub> kakacka2123: if u have ubuntu installed ........reinstall GRUB loader
[06:13] <cvr> rodayo, is the issue visible in a screenshot? if so could u post one
[06:13] <rinzler> gaelfx: yep
[06:13] <kakacka2123> ANub: Are you sure?
[06:13] <inoune> is this command true? grep m{2,} file
[06:13] <kakacka2123> ANub: I dont wanna fuck it up any further.
[06:13] <ANub> kakacka2123: if u have ubuntu installed ........reinstall GRUB loader
[06:14] <rodayo> cvr, okay just a sec
[06:14] <ANub> and it will work
[06:14] <gaelfx> kakacka2123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:15] <pratz> gaelfx: i try to run it with python and ffmpeg say "atleast one output file must be specified" , any ideas ??
[06:15] <ANub> kakacka2123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:15] <gaelfx> pratz: sounds like a syntax problem
[06:15] <CAPITALISMUS> you need to chroot into the installed ubuntu and reinstall grub
[06:15] <siloxid> anyone know why ratpoison doesn't show up in the list of wm options in the login screen?
[06:15] <ubuntu> Why does the installer spend a long time on "restoring previously installed packages"?
[06:15] <inoune> nobody can answer me :((
[06:15] <gaelfx> pratz: pb your script?
[06:15] <inoune> i need help
[06:16] <gaelfx> inoune: commands can't be true or false
[06:16] <rodayo> cvr, http://i.imgur.com/TVNso.jpg - notice how the image isn't visible over light surfaces and only the dark ones. that's why the black text gets colored
[06:16] <gaelfx> inoune: what are you trying to do?
[06:16] <CAPITALISMUS> nless they are bolean
[06:16] <pratz> gaelfx: i will post it, great if you understand python
[06:16] <inoune> yes it didn't work, but what's the mistake exactly?
[06:16] <setherith> hi all
[06:16] <gaelfx> pratz: very VERY little, but I might be able to see the issue
[06:17] <setherith> hey?
[06:17] <inoune> i wanna search words which contains exactly 2 "m"
[06:17] <inoune> what about this: grep m{2,2} ?
[06:18] <ANub> in 12.04 when i put the cursor on some application in indicator-applet it doesn't show any thing......."like in bittorent it used to show speed"........any ideas...?
[06:19] <cvr> rodayo, yeh that doesnt look right at all.. are u running compiz? which video drivers?
[06:19] <ANub> also right click is exchanged with left
[06:19] <inoune> so ??
[06:19] <gaelfx> inoune: the first one you put in should work, according to the man page, what error does it give you when you execute the command?
[06:20] <rodayo> cvr, my gfx card is an amd radeon 6600M ... how can i tell if i'm running compiz?
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> anyone got nntpgrab working on precise?
[06:21] <cvr> rodayo, ps aux | grep compiz
[06:21] <inoune> when i put that: grep m{2,2}. there is an error: there is any file with type m2
[06:22] <rodayo> cvr, yep it's running. i did use it to disable the unity task switcher cuz i liked the old one
[06:22] <pratz> gaelfx: here http://pastebin.com/5KEjSU9p
[06:23] <rodayo> cvr, is it safe to close compiz and see what happens?
[06:24] <MACscr> grr, im going to cry. I cant for the life of me figure out why my ubuntu system is losing network access every 30 minutes or so. It only lasts about 30 seconds, but its screwing  things up
[06:24] <gaelfx> pratz: might this line be the problem?
[06:24] <MACscr> its a wired connection too
[06:24] <gaelfx> pratz: target = target_dir + fl.replace(' ','_')
[06:25] <cvr> rodayo, you can log out and then login without the 3d effects and see if it makes any difference
[06:25] <gaelfx> pratz: I think you need to replace it with '\ ' instead
[06:25] <CAPITALISMUS> its ipv6
[06:25] <rodayo> cvr, login with unity 2d you mean?
[06:25] <cvr> yeh
[06:28] <Garp> Hi.
[06:29] <kapz> Hi! after upgrading to 12.04 my bluetooth shows as disabled and the buttons are "greyed out".....with or without proprietary drivers, how do I resolve it?
[06:29] <gaelfx> pratz: ack, or possibly you need a / betweein target_dir and fl
[06:29] <cocolos> the panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:TomboyApplet" What's this???
[06:30] <Garp> Question: while installing ubuntu, how can I dissociate the language used by the Installer from the default language of the installed system? Thanks.
[06:30] <JanneM> Try again: "This package would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources" and then the installation fails. Stock 12.04 when I try to install Samba. How to get around it?
[06:30] <prakash__> guys can i upgrade to 12.04 from an iso
[06:31] <gaelfx> pratz: you probably also need to do the fl.replace in the next line too
[06:31] <gaelfx> pratz: instead of just fl
[06:31] <rodayo_> cvr, no luck. same strange behavior...so guess compiz wasn't the issue
[06:33] <bridean> How do I turn off the keystroke for going into a "command mode" in Unity?
[06:33] <cvr> rodayo_, ahh.. it looks like an issue with the video driver or something, you could try use the open source ati driver see if it makes any difference
[06:33] <root_> test
[06:33] <rodayo_> cvr, this is gonna be tricky then...i figure i have to disable my old ati driver first/
[06:34] <bridean> The thing is, I hit a certain key to toggle between English and Korean input normally.   But in Unity if I hit that key, it will go into the dash saying "Type your command"   Pretty annoying.
[06:34] <cvr> rodayo_, if you type jockey into the dash and what drivers do u have available there?
[06:35] <root_> ls
[06:35] <bridean> I guess the easiest fix will be to install a sane windows manager like gnome
[06:35] <rodayo_> cvr, is that a command line program too? i sorta disabled the short cut for the HUD too =P
[06:36] <siloxid> bridean: when have you ever run into an insane window manager?
[06:37] <cvr> rodayo_, jockey-gtk you can run from a terminal or alt-f2
[06:37] <xskydevilx> Does anyone know how to get rid of that sort of rubber band effect for the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 when it's on autohide?
[06:37] <gaelfx> bridean: pratz does any of that help, or am I totally python illiterate?
[06:37] <rodayo_> cvr, nvm got it. looks like there's 2 for me...one has "(post release updates)" at the end of the name...do you know what the diff is by any chance?
[06:37] <bridean> siloxid,  I would say that Unity is not sane compared to Gnome.   It's not clear what command does what under Unity.  Thus the necessity of asking people here how to do things, rather than looking at the screen and having it be obvious what I should do
[06:37] <siloxid> what was the name of the gnome2 fork again? it recently got a new name
[06:38] <gaelfx> siloxid: MATE I believe
[06:38] <siloxid> bridean: oh yeah I forgot how much I hate unity
[06:38] <gaelfx> siloxid: and I think you need to use it in conjunction with cinnamon, but I could be wrong
[06:39] <siloxid> gaelfx: is that a yerba mate joke?
[06:39] <jschall> i'm having bad performance in a game while using unity 3d. i have a system76 laptop with an nvidia gtx560m... what sort of nvidia settings might make a big difference? i notice that turning on unredirect fullscreen videos causes unity 3d to fail to start
[06:39] <cvr> rodayo_, i think the first one is the version when the version ubuntu was released, and post-release has an updated version
[06:39] <bridean> Basically, any program where I can't figure out how to do something by looking at the screen (or a menu item) is a poorly written program from a user friendly point of view
[06:40] <aldwinaldwin> after 30 hours, finaly have an 12.04, even cleaned all my partitions to start from zero ... even then ... have troubles with Grub :(
[06:40] <gaelfx> siloxid: possibly, but I was being serious
[06:40] <bridean> siloxid, I hope unity doesn't become so ubiquitous that it becomes difficult to switch to gnome or kde
[06:40] <siloxid> bridean: I tried to figure it out again with the new ubuntu release and I finally figured out how to get the terminal up after five minutes
[06:40] <rodayo_> cvr, hope this works then. these weren't open source drivers btw. the description calls them "proprietary"
[06:40] <Garp> bridean: all of this is cultural; you are used to some kind of interface so you know how it works because you're used to. A different one you dont know is not worse, you just didnt learned it.
[06:41] <cvr> rodayo_, ahh.. try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver for the OS driver
[06:41] <siloxid> Garp: a UI where you click on a "home" icon and search google-style for the app you are hoping to run is insane
[06:41] <bridean> Garp,  A new interface is fine as long as there are easy ways to figure out how to do things.   I shouldn't have to go into xchat and ask people.
[06:41] <siloxid> Garp: especially when it's a brand new system and you have no way to know what's installed yet
[06:42] <rodayo_> cvr, so cancel this one then?
[06:42] <Garp> bridean: What I mean is just that the one you know, you asked for it sooo long ago that you forgot you had to do it. It didnt came out "naturally".
[06:42] <gaelfx> what they should have done was take a note from games and make a tutorial
[06:42] <siloxid> Garp: not to mention the only two interfaces I haven't been able to pick up in a few minutes in 25 years was mathematica and unity
[06:43] <bridean> Garp:  So how would YOU fix my problem.   Specifically, the problem is when I hit the 한/영 key on my keyboard, instead of merely switching back and forth from Korean to English, it brings up a text area near the dash saying "Type your command".
[06:43] <siloxid> Garp: the mac os interface has always been ridiculously easy.  point and click on everything
[06:44] <siloxid> Garp: how do you point and click on gnome-terminal in unity?
[06:44] <siloxid> Garp: and windows, gnome<3 and kde likewise
[06:44] <Garp> bridean: I dont use Unity, so I dunno. What I can only guess it that one or both of your application have somewhere a configuration for the hotkeys and you can just change them.
[06:44] <xskydevilx> How to get rid of that sort of rubber band effect for the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 when it's on autohide?
[06:45] <cfoch> hello
[06:45] <cfoch> what is the desktop channel ?
[06:45] <rectec> Can you guys help me with audio problems here?
[06:45] <Garp> siloxid: I dont use Unity, and the few I saw of it didnt appealed me. But the point os there anyway: you want to reuse some old paradigm on a different interface; it doesnt work; and you feel upset because your previous knowledge is unusable. It doesnt means it's worse, just that it's different.
[06:46] <Lil> rectec, ask your question.. and you might get an answer.
[06:46] <bridean> Garp:  In previous interfaces, I was able to figure out how to do things without going into chat and asking people
[06:46] <cfoch> I was using GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 11.10, now I¨ve installed 12.04, and my desktop is so ugly :S How can i restore the default Unity configuration ?
[06:47] <rectec> Lil, Ok. Just don't wont to get shunned over to a pulseaudio channel.
[06:47] <rodayo_> cvr, looks like a lot of work =P i'll try it out tmrw. thanks for the help =)
[06:47] <siloxid> Garp: the fact that some new things are a paradigm shift doesn't cross paths with the crappy UI that is unity
[06:47] <covi> Are there any good command-line dictionary tools available? En-en is basic requirement
[06:47] <bridean> cfoch, You will have to install gnome and either restart, or log out and log back in.   Be sure to select gnome at the login screen as your interface though
[06:47] <rba1988> I find unity ok. even faster than gnome 2.x
[06:48] <rba1988> in terms of workflow
[06:48] <Lil> rectec, Understandable. It's doubtful I can help.. but the ppl here will help if they can, on any kind of question.
[06:48] <rectec> I'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this?
[06:48] <siloxid> Garp: even apps that feel like they were created by amiga or atari programmers are more intuitive for us windows/gnome/kde/ratpaison/os x/os 9 folks
[06:48] <rectec> Lil, of course :)
[06:48] <cfoch> I don¨t want install gnome, now I want use Unity, but it looks ugly because it has the old configuration when I installed Gnome Shell in 11.10
[06:50] <__eagle__> tried several things but still got update problem: anyone has the problem with ubuntu 12 on update manager telling that the cache/package information is too old (in my case it says 32 days)??
[06:50] <siloxid> __eagle__: no.  I just run apt-get update
[06:50] <gaelfx> is the top-panel supposed to show up on the lock screen?
[06:51] <cfoch> is there any command like unity --reset in 12.04 ?
[06:51] <aldwinaldwin> When my laptop starts up, I get a grub command line. After studying some manuals, I finaly got in my new 12.04 installation. How can I automize the startup? creating menu.lst?
[06:51] <Mayazcherquoi> How can I stop Precise from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S
[06:51] <gaelfx> cfoch: should ne
[06:51] <gaelfx> *be
[06:51] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, How about reinstalling grub?
[06:51] <aldwinaldwin> rectec: is it grub 1 or grub2 ?
[06:52] <gaelfx> Mayazcherquoi: you have to make it so that when the laptop lid is closed, the screens are not turned off, probably have to use gconf-editor
[06:52] <cfoch> I¨ve just run unity --reset and it closed unity :(
[06:52] <cfoch> I¨ve lost the window borders
[06:52] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, Which version of Ubuntu do you have? Both grub1 and 2 use the same install command
[06:53] <Garp> siloxid: Well, I dont want to argue. The poijnt is that many users not used to the old interfaces were happy with Unity, and find it more usable than what they had before. To me, it looks like a smartphone interface, with seems irrelevant on a multitasking OS with dual-1900x1200 screens, but seems to be simple enough for many.
[06:53] <gaelfx> cfoch: probably need to restart your session
[06:53] <rectec> I'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this?
[06:53] <__eagle__> siloxid: i did try that but no luck
[06:53] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, just clean installed ubuntu 12.04 with a lot of problems, ... was used to Lilo, now had to read a lot about Grub.
[06:54] <Mayazcherquoi> gaelfx: Yeah, but what setting? :-/
[06:54] <ubuntu> hy i have problem witch ntfs partition - when i install 12.04 fatal error grub not instaled in sda1 (ntfs) how to fix this partition in linux ? (live) gparted cant fix it
[06:54] <cfoch> ok
[06:54] <siloxid> Garp: all the smartphone interfaces I know of let you see a list of all the apps on the device.  does unity have a way to do that?
[06:55] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, know how you feel. been through several installs until everything was proper. ubuntu uses grub2 by default, and should've automatically installed and updated it upon installation.
[06:55] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, already have done following : grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda
[06:55] <cfoch> last question before I restart my session... what folder is unity apperance configuration in ?
[06:55] <gaelfx> Mayazcherquoi: can't remember exactly which one, can't you search for 'lid'?
[06:55] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, have you ran update-grub?
[06:56] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, no, not yet ... but if it is grub2, then I know already which tutorial I need to read and try
[06:57] <black_bird> salve
[06:57] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, grub1 config and grub 2 config files is very different it seems
[06:57] <black_bird> ho un problema , chi puà aiutarmi ^
[06:57] <black_bird> ?
[06:57] <black_bird> può*
[06:57] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, well i hope it works for you. if not, i'm still here and still have some ideas.
[06:57] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, thank you, i'll keep you informed
[06:58] <iivvoo> hi
[06:58] <rectec> I'm on Precise. When I use PulseAudio-Equalizer to boost the bass, I get some software clipping. What can I do about this? I'll provide more info if I get a reply.
[06:58] <pratz> gaelfx: dude can you suggest any more tools for audio compression
[06:58] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, ttyl
[06:58] <pratz> gaelfx: as i am running out of time now
[06:58] <iivvoo> is it considered a feature that on unitiy (12.04) you cannot resize a window (or at least vim) by dragging the bottom border?
[06:58] <Garp> siloxid: on a smartphone there are  very few apps. On my system there are 4251 executables. I dont know how I could represent them all.
[06:58]  * iivvoo was considereing giving unity another shot but if this isn't even possible...
[06:58] <neattoast> iivvoo: Try middle clicking a window if you have a touchpad
[06:59] <shape> Hello, I installed 12.04 (fresh install) and I changed button_layout to: ":minimize,maximize,close" and I only get the close button. It also says in gconf-editor that the key is not writable?
[06:59] <randywallace> :scan
[06:59] <neattoast> shape: are you root?
[06:59] <cfoch> hey!
[06:59] <shape> neattoast: yes I ran sudo gconf-editor
[07:00] <siloxid> Garp: interesting.  I have more apps on my smartphone (300+) than I do on my main desktop (about 40)
[07:00] <gaelfx> pratz: well, VLC is usually pretty good for that stuff, but AFAIK it just uses ffmpeg
[07:00] <cfoch> I want restart my session but I don¨t have the option to close the session S:
[07:00] <shape> neattoast: And it worked but I can only see the close button on the right.
[07:00] <cfoch> any command to get it ?
[07:00] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, fyi : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html (http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html)
[07:01] <neattoast> shape: weird...
[07:01] <neattoast> Did you try using a metacity configurator?
[07:01] <pratz> gaelfx: i have no idea how to do it with vlc ?
[07:01] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, handy, but why would you need a tutorial? grub2 works out of the box for me...
[07:01] <shape> neattoast: yeah. I think it's a bug, but I just installed the damn thing :(
[07:01] <shape> neattoast: no idea what that is?
[07:01] <neattoast> shape: No, I was thinking xfce :)
[07:01] <rectec> one sec, booting to ubuntu :)
[07:01] <iivvoo> neattoast middle-mouse doesn't seem to do any resizing
[07:01] <Garp> siloxid: do a "tab - tab" in a shell window to see how many are installed. And yes, smartphones have fewers apps, but the logig on smartphone (likely due to thie apple stupidity) it to create a lot of applications: like one for each newspaper you read and such things. It would be like having one diffreent browser per website. It's just crazy.
[07:01] <loconut> hello, I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04. 12.04 messed up grub, which I fixed. Now I have a fairly simple problem.. my main user account is below id 500, and doesn't show up and it won't let me type a username.
[07:02] <loconut> how do I make gdm/greeter let me enter a username?
[07:02] <neattoast> iivvoo: I think I remebered that middle clicking or something of the like brought up a resize manager
[07:02] <shape> neattoast: No I haven't and I don't know how to use it. should I look into it?
[07:02] <shape> neattoast: But it's obviously something going on, some sort of bug I'm guessing
[07:02] <neattoast> shape: Try using cssm
[07:03] <pratz> gaelfx: how to do it with vlc ??
[07:03] <neattoast> shape: that configs compiz maybe there is a window option
[07:03] <shape> neattoast: and if that doesn't work reinstall? :(
[07:03] <gaelfx> pratz: there should be a transcoding wizard or something like that
[07:04] <pratz> gaelfx: is it a plugin ??
[07:04] <shape> neattoast: I'm also using gnome-shell btw
[07:04] <neattoast> shape: Or maybe just reinstall gnome shell
[07:04] <shape> !nounity
[07:04] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, been busy for 30 hours now. 20+ ways of install ... but i dont give up until I understand what is going wrong. every time I get into the grub terminal, so, I decided to learn the commands
[07:04] <__eagle__> siloxid: i did try that but no luck
[07:04] <shape> neattoast: Oh, but it did that before in unity too. :(
[07:04] <rectec> i'm back.
[07:05] <__eagle__> any other ideas on how to get rid of package not being able to be updated?
[07:05] <iivvoo> neattoast a "Resize manager"?
[07:05] <proq> __eagle__: did you change your sources list?
[07:05] <iivvoo> noone resizes windows anymore?
[07:05] <neattoast> iivvoo: Like an overlay that can resize the window.
[07:05] <neattoast> iivvoo: check in cssm
[07:06] <neattoast> shape: I would then definantly reinstall gnome-shell
[07:06] <iivvoo> neattoast thanks for the help/suggestions, but I'm probably better of installing some version of gnome
[07:06] <iivvoo> or something else that works
[07:06] <gaelfx> pratz: hang on
[07:06] <neattoast> iivvoo: good luck :)
[07:06] <iivvoo> to me resizing windows is a rather basic operation, if unity fails doing that, it's not for me
[07:06] <shape> neattoast: Yep, doing so now! I just logged in with unity and the buttons are there and working!
[07:06] <pratz> gaelfx: ya sure
[07:06] <__eagle__> @proq: yeah i did like from main server to something else but still no lucj
[07:06] <shape> neattoast: Thanks for your help! <3
[07:07] <neattoast> shape: Your welcome :)
[07:07] <pratz> gaelfx: till then i am trying my script, as i like ffmpeg
[07:07] <tommis> how do i get indicator-weather to work?
[07:07] <Zburatorul> anyone managed to get XFCE 4.10 to run on 11.10?
[07:07] <neattoast> Zburatorul: Why not just use xubuntu :D
[07:07] <KM0201> tommis: did you install it? it worked just fine for me..
[07:07] <gaelfx> pratz: sorry, I guess it's called convert/save now
[07:08] <Zburatorul> neattoast, XFCE 4.10 won't be supported until 12.10
[07:08] <tommis> KM0201: yep
[07:08] <xskydevilx> How to get rid of that sort of rubber band effect for the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 when it's on autohide?
[07:08] <tommis> KM0201: and i have relogged in
[07:08] <Zburatorul> but now I have 4.8 installed thru the xubuntu package, so i do do it that way
[07:08] <neattoast> Zburatorul: You could force the upgrade...
[07:08] <KM0201> tommis: i dunno, it "just worked" for me.. what version of ubuntu?
[07:09] <tommis> KM0201: 12.04
[07:09] <gaelfx> pratz: it's a little weird how they make you do it, but I think you can select whole directories and whatnot, so it should be relatively easy
[07:10] <Zburatorul> neattoast, but i have to have the xfce packaged in some repository first, before i can force anything. right now, they're on on PPA (ppa:mrpouit/ppa), but aptitude can't even see them
[07:10] <KM0201> tommis: hmm, weird.. i just installed it and it worked
[07:10] <pratz> gaelfx: i guess we can not select a dir , we can only select a file
[07:10] <osse> My keyboard layout was autodected during the installation of 12.04 and I checked that it worked. After installation my layout is apparently English. In Keyboard Layouts it still says that it's Norwegian but it has no effect, not even the stuff under options. It seems I can change to any other layout and that works. What could be wrong?
[07:11] <neattoast> Zburatorul: I'd wait. XFCE 4.10 isn't even in arch yet!
[07:11] <gaelfx> pratz: ah, true, but you can select a large list of files if you want
[07:11] <petoo> hi , why is there difference in what top shows memory consumption of my system than system monitor?
[07:11] <kx> when i play fullscreen videos with vlc it spans across multiple monitors.. how do i get it only on one?
[07:12] <pratz> gaelfx: appreciate dude, but this would not work, as i have many recurssive dir's
[07:12] <gaelfx> pratz: sorry about that, hope you can get the script to work
[07:13] <Garp> (bye)
[07:13] <Zburatorul> neattoast, what is arch?
[07:13] <pratz> gaelfx: ya that would be great , i am trying
[07:13] <petoo> !arch
[07:13] <petoo> are you talking about arch linux?
[07:13] <neattoast> Zburatorul: Arch linux, they update packages on a very quick basis, but you have to configure a lot yourself (alsa, x)
[07:14] <neattoast> petoo: yes.
[07:14] <gaelfx> neattoast: you have to configure pretty much everything yourself :/
[07:14] <tommis> i just needed to start indicator-wheather once and no it has added itself to startup programs
[07:14] <neattoast> gaelfx: I know. But sometiems it's worth it.
[07:15] <petoo> Does anybody know why top shows different numbers for memory consumtion than system monitor?
[07:15] <petoo> *top command*
[07:15] <gaelfx> neattoast: I agree, it's great fun. Just not something I'm prepared to use on a daily basis
[07:15] <neattoast> gaelfx: Agreed.
[07:15] <gaelfx> petoo: system monitor uses more resources than top
[07:15] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, upgrade-grub : no joy. Still grub terminal, but figured out now that i only need 2 commands to startup : * kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1  * boot  (somehow this is information that grub still needs somewhere)
[07:16] <Zburatorul> neattoast, is it possible to clean my current ubuntu of Unity? i hate having it on the machine even after I switched to xfce
[07:16] <Zburatorul> i may have tried, but it probably told me it'd have to delete half the base packages
[07:16] <oh_noes> Can anyone link me to instructions to pair a Bluetooth Keyboard to Ubuntu 11.10?
[07:16] <oh_noes> via Command Line
[07:16] <xskydevilx> How to make the Unity sidebar on the left on 12.04 usuable when it's on autohide?
[07:16] <gaelfx> Zburatorul: most of those are just meta-packages I believe
[07:16] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: adjust the sensitivity
[07:16] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, how are you having this problem? lol
[07:16] <neattoast> Zburatorul: yes. unity depends on ubuntu-desktop and vice versa. It is pretty hard to manually configure the package or manually delete.
[07:17] <petoo> gaelfx, its different story here, top says I am left with only 55MBs and it has consumed nearly 90% , while System. monitor shows that I have 55% more RAM
[07:17] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, I still get a rubber band sort of effect, so I have to shake the mouse like crazy regardless of the sensitivity.
[07:17] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, I know, nowbody on social media is complaining about it ... so, must be me :)
[07:17] <gaelfx> petoo: maybe sysmon is talking about swap and top is not
[07:18] <gaelfx> petoo: (I know that's not true)
[07:18] <petoo> nou, it clearly mentions it has not used even a single byte from swap
[07:18] <sirknight> xskydevilx, may its the mouse itself?
[07:19] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: you know, when you do move the mouse to the left, you have to wait a second or two for it to show up, right?
[07:19] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, first another coffee and a sig ... then i'll do that grub2 tutorial step by step ... cheers
[07:19] <petoo> well I 'll download Pangolin
[07:20] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, Yes. There is still sort of a.. well how would I explain it.. like a sticky effect, whereas sometimes it doesn't show up at all, and I just get a shadow.
[07:20] <xskydevilx> sirknight, Nah, the mouse is good.
[07:20] <john38> is there any way to show the weather on Precise
[07:20] <john38> top right corner like before
[07:21] <cfoch> hey
[07:22] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: hm, not sure what would make that happen. have you checked to see if it's a known bug?
[07:22] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, Well I would, but I'm not exactly certain on how to describe it.
[07:22] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: I've found the windows key to be more useful than the launcher anyhow, but that's me
[07:22] <ccruz> HOLA
[07:22] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, extra info ... one hour ago, i discovered I had no stage1 file, so i created that ... also discovered i have no menu.lst file, but for grub1 and grub2 this is different, so, entered this IRC to figure that out.
[07:22] <cfoch> I´ve just solved my problem but i´ve got other problem
[07:22] <cfoch> HOLA
[07:23] <cfoch> now my terminal won´t autocomplete packages of sudo apt-get install blah...
[07:23] <cfoch> for example
[07:23] <cfoch> or won´t show colors
[07:23] <cfoch> what can I do?
[07:23] <gaelfx> cfoch: try adding "complete -cf sudo" to your ~/.bashrc
[07:24] <SoulRaven> i want to install 12.04 on my home computer, but i have some question regarding this, the skystar 2 and creative x-fi extreme music will work in 12.04
[07:24] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, Well, yeah for opening the dash.
[07:24] <SoulRaven> i mean with 5.1 aceleration and for DVB card to use  ccccam plugin
[07:24] <cfoch> gaelfx: I deleted .bashrc by error

[07:25] <Fleck> SoulRaven i dont think anyone will support cam plugins here... thats not legal...
[07:25] <cfoch> thanmustoki: hello
[07:25] <gaelfx> cfoch: then make a new one ;)
[07:25] <thanmustoki> can you help me cfoch :)?
[07:26] <cfoch> thanmustoki: if I can
[07:26] <thanmustoki> I have a problem for shutting down my ubuntu 12.04, it takes long time?
[07:26] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, Also, it is possible to get dodge working?
[07:26] <thanmustoki> dyou have any solution?
[07:26] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: not sure what dodge is, sorry
[07:27] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: is that the new HUD thing?
[07:27] <cfoch> gaelfx: do I just have to add that line to my bashrc and restart my session ?
[07:27] <thanmustoki> when I type shutdown -h now , it won't shutdown directly
[07:27] <jean_brat> http://pinguyos.com/images/Workspace%201_001.resized.png
[07:27] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, The dodge effect on the unity side bar thingy.
[07:27] <gaelfx> cfoch: should do
[07:27] <cfoch> thanmustoki: Idk
[07:27] <gaelfx> xskydevilx: honestly, I've no idea, sorry
[07:27] <jean_brat> what should i install to get the system monitor as displayed in Top right hand side?
[07:27] <xskydevilx> gaelfx, Fudge..
[07:27] <jean_brat> http://pinguyos.com/images/Workspace%201_001.resized.png
[07:28] <thanmustoki> what does the mean Idk?

[07:36] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, np, having a cig, reading grub.cfg (upgrade-grub : no joy)
[07:36] <phpn00b> can some one helps me troubleshoot the problem?
[07:36] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, maybe some screenshots would help?
[07:37] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, via irc?
[07:37] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, nah. upload them. i usually use imgbin.
[07:38] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, ok, gimme a 5 minutes to write a step by step what i have discovered
[07:38] <cfoch> hey

[07:38] <Chris_H> Hi, everytime when I use Google chrome with Ubuntu, it *freezes*
[07:38] <Chris_H> Just after about 15-40 mis of usage

[07:39] <nicol> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[07:40] <sirknight> Chris_H,  reinstall it..
[07:40] <cfoch> it isn´t in my repos i think
[07:40] <Chris_H> sirknight: lol

[07:41] <abhi4linux> hi i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and need to figure a way to configure 5.1 surround support

[07:45] <ReneZ> Hi, maybe this has been asked before (sorry, but can't find solution), but in all my browsers flash is only playing for about four seconds. It's the latest version and the video downloads totally, but you need to press the 'location button' to get it to play the next 4.5 seconds. Any idea?? Thanks.
[07:46] <cfoch> what does 'complete -cf sudo' do ?
[07:46] <gaelfx> cfoch: enables auto-completion when using sudo before commands
[07:47] <Chris_H> I wish Google chrome would work well in Ubuntu, until then, I guess I'd be better off with Windows :(
[07:47] <gaelfx> Chris_H: what problems are you having with Chromium?
[07:47] <aknewhope> How do I install Ubuntu, and Debian for example on the same drive. This drive is specifically for just this. No Windows. Any links?
[07:47] <ReneZ> It has the same effect in Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Guess its a flash issue with Ubuntu
[07:48] <taxman> ???
[07:48] <taxman> i never meet flash issues on ubuntu or windows
[07:48] <Chris_H> gaelfx: I ran Chromium with the 11.04 when it was released. (it too had this issue back then). Now I'm running Chrome on 11.10 release, and it just freezes the whole system after about 15 mins
[07:48] <cfoch> gaelfx: I see, and how can I show colors in the terminal?
[07:48] <ReneZ> Sorry, I use 11.10
[07:48] <Chris_H> It occurs when I view video or even load about 10+ tabs
[07:49] <gaelfx> cfoch: that I'm not really sure about
[07:49] <gaelfx> cfoch: but I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of guides out there
[07:49] <gaelfx> cfoch: if it's not in ubuntu documentation, then you should be able to find it in the arch documentation
[07:50] <rectec> aldwinaldwin, i gotta go. sorry man. hopefully others can help you. make sure to take some screenies. if it doesnt work out try the forums. good luck :)
[07:50] <aldwinaldwin> rectec, ok, thanks
[07:50] <aldwinaldwin> have a nice sunday
[07:50] <gaelfx> Chris_H: sounds like you don't have enough swap or RAM
[07:51] <cfoch> aldwinaldwin: backache :(
[07:51] <Chris_H> gaelfx: I doubt that. I have about 4 GB of RAM and enough swap space
[07:51] <nicol> are there any  good or excellent themes recommend?
[07:51] <aldwinaldwin> get well
[07:51] <gaelfx> Chris_H: and when you have all that stuff open, how much of it are you using?
[07:52] <Random832> who decided this was a good idea? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-privileges/+bug/812394
[07:52] <Chris_H> gaelfx: I haven't checked that. But, I dont think my browser will eat up all of it.
[07:53] <Lint> Random832, a common sense
[07:53] <gaelfx> Chris_H: also, you should make note of the next time it freezes your system, then look through the logs for any errors at that time
[07:53] <Random832> Lint: how is that common sense
[07:53] <Random832> what IDIOT thinks that keeping the hibernate option and _just not working_ on gnome/unity, or showing a cryptic permission error on xfce, is in any way a good fix
[07:54] <ReneZ> Any support on Flash available here?
[07:54] <marcm> hey there
[07:54] <marcm> which kernel do I need for Ubutnu 12.04 to run as a KVM guest ?
[07:54] <gaelfx> ReneZ: it's simpler if you just state the problem you're having, then we'll know what you need to do
[07:54] <rba1988> download google chrome for flash
[07:54] <ReneZ> I did that some lines up
[07:55] <cocolos> would updating to 12.04 delete anything on my current system?
[07:55] <thirdwhl> hey, is there a network install image for 12.04?
[07:55] <ReneZ> Flash only playes for about 4 seconds in all my browsers
[07:55] <Lint> it is clear that hybernating should be prevented by default, by any means available
[07:55] <kx> anyone have problems playing fullscreen video with vlc on multimonitor setup
[07:55] <rba1988> it would delete the settings for software packages after upgrading. In my case, the mysql and apache stuff got reset.
[07:55] <Random832> Lint: how is that clear
[07:56] <Random832> if it were a good idea they should provide a proper explanation
[07:56] <Random832> and they certainly shouldn't disable it on upgrades to systems that have hibernated a thousand times before
[07:56] <ReneZ> gealfx: Using Ubuntu 11.10 and the latest Flash
[07:56] <Random832> since clearly those systems have no problem aND the user regularly uses the feature
[07:56] <Lint> because if the computer will not come back from hybernation, the ubuntu will be erased immediately, it´s bad for business
[07:57] <Random832> you unity people are stupid and your paternalistic attitude is now infecting the other ubuntu versions
[07:57] <Random832> Lint: so have a chekbox to enable it at your own risk
[07:57] <Random832> and an explanation why
[07:57] <Random832> and IF IT WORKED BEFORE, ASSUME IT WILL WORK
[07:58] <Random832> now that i know there's an xubuntu channel, i don't have to hang out in the unity channel anymore
[07:59] <aneattoaster> is anyone there?
[08:00] <taxman> nobody
[08:00] <neattoast> ah
[08:00] <ReneZ> Hi, maybe this has been asked before (sorry, but can't find solution), but in all my browsers flash is only playing for about four seconds. It's the latest version and the video downloads totally, but you need to press the 'location button' to get it to play the next 4.5 seconds. Any idea?? Thanks.
[08:01] <neattoast> ReneZ: are you using chrome?
[08:01] <ReneZ> Yes, as well as Opera and Firefox. Same effect in all
[08:01] <neattoast> Try using the html5 version of youtube, www.youtube.com/html5
[08:02] <iueo> d
[08:02] <ReneZ> OK, but it's not only youtube, it's on every Flash movie
[08:02] <Guest13742> salam
[08:02] <Guest13742> la rooma
[08:02] <Guest13742> do you
[08:03] <neattoast> ReneZ, did you update your pepper flash (chrome)
[08:03] <taxman> afaik, html5 can't serve advertise well, so your isp turns it off
[08:03] <taxman> this is true here
[08:03] <ReneZ> neattoast: am unaware what that is. I checked on the Adobe page and it shows I have the latest version installed?/
[08:04] <neattoast> go to chrome://plugins and check what version of flash you are using
[08:04] <taxman> i prefer flash player 10
[08:04] <neattoast> taxman: it's losing support.
[08:05] <taxman> the version 11 is leaking more your privacy
[08:05] <neattoast> true...
[08:05] <zhangwenqian> hello

[08:06] <ReneZ> neattoast: its Flash - Version: 11.2 r202
[08:06] <taxman> chinese pps?
[08:06] <zhangwenqian> yes
[08:07] <taxman> it's illegal
[08:07] <neattoast> ReneZ: Seems to be ok...
[08:07] <neattoast> could be your graphics.
[08:07] <zhangwenqian> why?
[08:07] <roryy> zhangwenqian: do you mean the new release of Ubuntu (Precise Pangolin), or something else?
[08:08] <ReneZ> How do I find out? The problem started after upgrading (yeah!) from 11.04 to 11.10
[08:08] <neattoast> ReneZ: How old, (about) is your computer?
[08:09] <ReneZ> Quite old, its a laptop of about 4 years
[08:09] <neattoast> ReneZ, I should actally be fine... Not sure what the problem could be. Ideas, anybody?
[08:09] <zhangwenqian> is any chinese here?
[08:10] <nicol> Yes, I do
[08:10] <zhangwenqian> oh
[08:10] <nicol> wahtś wrong zhangwenqian
[08:10] <zhangwenqian> where ?
[08:10] <roryy> !cn
[08:10] <nicol> Beijing
[08:10] <ReneZ> neattoast: Memory seems OK as the flash video downloads completely, but every time you need to press the position button on the time bar to play the next 4,5 seconds
[08:11] <neattoast> ReneZ, I'd say it's a flash bug.
[08:11] <neattoast> Wait for updates, I'd say.
[08:11] <ReneZ> OK, fair enough, not very patient though ;-)
[08:12] <neattoast> :)
[08:12] <zhangwenqian> my ubuntu one can not connect
[08:12] <taxman> that's too bad, nobody can read chinese

[08:25] <namoamitabuddha> rba1988: fbdev also failed to work.
[08:25] <rba1988> you can try reconfiguring Xorg from there.
[08:26] <rba1988> creating a new xorg.conf file

[08:26] <neattoast> yabanize: Oh, and you might also want to redownload the image, it might be corrupt.
[08:26] <neattoast> bavani: open wine on it's own, and then you can launch other apps afterwards.
[08:26] <yabanize> I think it could have something to do with the partiition tables? is there a way to reset them
[08:27] <bavani> kk
[08:27] <bavani> i'll try
[08:27] <neattoast> yabanize: I would reinstall

[08:28] <ubuntu-cn> Some pages chromium18 in Caton, but filefox and opera will not been met?
[08:28] <rba1988> namoamitabuddha backup your old xorg.conf first (mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak) then Xorg -config
[08:28] <yabanize> Will reinstalling reset the partition tables?
[08:28] <rba1988> it should create a new .conf file

[08:33] <yabanize> bavani, type sudo before it
[08:34] <rba1988> namoamitabuddha: maybe it's a different problem then. Not entirely sure. Maybe your video card or something. Are you doing a clean install?
[08:34] <namoamitabuddha> rba1988: I'm just running the installation
[08:35] <yabanize> If it says must be run as root, type sudo before it
[08:35] <rba1988> namoamitabuddha: sorry not sure now. maybe other people can help. paste your specs of your machine including video card details.
[08:35] <bavani> Well, logging off and on did the trick

[08:44] <aldwinaldwin> quit
[08:45] <Hariezg> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem   Why?? (im try sudo apt-get install vlc)
[08:45] <NuttyNutGoblin2>  Anybody here fluent in Bash?
[08:46] <Hariezg> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem   Why?? (im try sudo apt-get install vlc)
[08:46] <cfoch> hey
[08:46] <cfoch> it was 'autocomplete -cf sudo', right?

[08:47] <yabanize> Whats the difference between installing transmission-daemon or transmission-cli, im installing on ubuntu server and want a web gui torrent client
[08:48] <pratz> gaelfx: dude got the script working for audi compression
[08:48] <gaelfx> yabanize: then the daemon should suffice
[08:48] <gaelfx> pratz: awesome! what was wrong?
[08:48] <NuttyNutGoblin2> need help with iwconfig
[08:48] <yabanize> What is the transmission cli then?
[08:48] <gaelfx> yabanize: cli is for controlling transmission using terminal, if you want the web-client, you probably don't need that then
[08:49] <pratz> gaelfx: in the subprocess module of python, i was specifing shell=True, that was wrong
[08:49] <LinuxMonkey> Just made the full jump from windows to Ubuntu 12.04lts and just wanted to say I love it.
[08:49] <yabanize> What about if i just install transmission
[08:49] <NuttyNutGoblin2> having wifi problem
[08:49] <gaelfx> pratz: what does that do?
[08:49] <gaelfx> yabanize: that would be fine except you'll have to get gtk and all that jazz
[08:49] <pratz> gaelfx: that will output to shell and i did not wanted that
[08:50] <mbrochh> Hi all. Somewhere I read that one of the new features of 12.04 is that when selecting a user from the login screen, the login screen background changes to that user's wallpaper... am I wrong? Do I have to activate this somewhere?
[08:50] <gaelfx> pratz: weird, guess I still have a lot to learn about pyhton
[08:50] <pratz> gaelfx: but now the script works recursively and also creats dirs if not exist
[08:50] <yabanize> so transmission cli would have a web gui aswell?
[08:50] <Dade> So I just did a fresh install of 12.04. and I'm trying to do SSL virtual hosts... well it works untill I reboot then it just points to the main site ... untill i manually restart apache2.. how wierd eh?
[08:50] <wo0t99> ubottu : !python
[08:50] <NuttyNutGoblin2> that is wierd dade
[08:50] <pratz> gaelfx: actually subprocess is the new module in python2.7 i guess , before that we would to use os.system()
[08:51] <gaelfx> yabanize: should, yeah, but if you don't plan to control it from terminal, then cli is kind of pointless
[08:51] <Dade> any ideas on where to find its hiccups?
[08:51] <pratz> gaelfx: but os.system() does not escape spaces and subprocess does
[08:51] <caminoix> hello

[08:54] <Lolostudio> kx : Oh...Where can I downgrade to this driver? On the nvidia website or the driver selection window should give it?
[08:54] <wo0t99> NuttyNutGoblin2 : try ifconfig wlan0 up
[08:54] <wo0t99> iwconfig will give the detail, interface control by ifconfig
[08:54] <plouffe> bavani, if it was necessaary to install in windows, it's probably necessary to install in wine
[08:54] <NuttyNutGoblin2> brb
[08:54] <pratz> gaelfx: dude you helped me with ffmpeg
[08:55] <kx> Lolostudio: i dont know that you can in ubuntu sorry . i dont use ubuntu. i download from nvidia's site. it's quite an adventurous traversal of hyperlinks too

[08:55] <pratz> gaelfx: off topic - do you watch IPL ?? we Indians love cricket
[08:56] <Lolostudio> kx : Oh, kk x) Thanks a lot, I remember there's a nvidia driver list page on the ubuntu site, maybe i'll find it pretty quickly :)
[08:56] <gaelfx> pratz: nope, I live in China, they don't usually have things like that here

[09:06] <Boreeas> While upgrading from 11.04->11.10->12.04, something went wrong with the window renderer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31575034/Other/Selection_008.png - Hoŵ do I fix that?
[09:06] <shredding> Then I installed apache like explained here:
[09:06] <shredding> http://www.mypcsupport.de/net/linux/ubuntu-lamp-installation/
[09:06] <Trieste> kx: basically, I want what I would get if I did a clean install - without doing a clean install, because for some reason, my graphics card doesn't work without proprietary drivers, so when I use the install cd, it just blacks out
[09:06] <shredding> Thus, I installed PHP twice I guess.
[09:06] <shredding> Now Apache only serves PHP files in the root directory, not in subdirectories
[09:06] <cfoch> shafeeqes: ?
[09:07] <shredding> I've done this, but it does not word: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/ubuntu-server-apache-php-files-are-download-instead-of-opening-in-browser/
[09:07] <bavani> Hey, I want to play nfs mw on wine without installing it, but running the main exe gives me an error: Invalid parameters recieved
[09:07] <bavani> It changes screen res too
[09:07] <bavani> Pls hlp
[09:07] <innerand> Hello! When I connect an additional monitor to my notebook, ubuntu does something (it recognizes the monitor and goes to mirror-mode). Does anybody know, what ubuntu does here exactly (is there any skript running?). I would like to set the notebook monitor off automaticly if an external Monitor is connected. I can do this with randr - but i need an event to run this skript...
[09:07] <wo0t99> cfoch : use synaptic :D
[09:07] <ikonia> bavani: the wine guys is the place to get help
[09:08] <shredding> Any ideas?
[09:08] <cfoch> nope... I want autocomplete the packages (lol)
[09:08] <bavani> Wne guys aren't helping
[09:08] <nlici> Hello To all . I upgrade the ubuntu to 12 but when i upgrade it i saw that my samsung printer is not working any more it seems like the driver is there but at the status its written it stopped . So i can not able to print nothing .Please advice me what to do ?
[09:08] <ikonia> shredding: php is not directory based
[09:08] <ikonia> shredding: it's either on/off
[09:08] <ikonia> bavani: that is the place to get help
[09:08] <kx> Trieste: i dont know that ubuntu has made it easy to get rid of the non kubuntu ubuntu stuff. maybe somebody knows. but as the other guys said you can install kubuntu on top of it..
[09:08] <Dade> anyone else having problems with SSL Virtualhosts on apache2 upon reboot?
[09:08] <bavani> Pls try to help me
[09:08] <shredding> ikonia: it works on root directory.
[09:09] <wo0t99> : try search the package and do a wildcard. lol
[09:09] <shredding> I already googles a lot, it's a common problem.
[09:09] <ikonia> bavani: that is the correct place to get help, not everything will work with wine, you need to be prepared for that
[09:09] <shredding> However, the common solutions did not work.
[09:09] <ikonia> shredding: it's not a common problem
[09:09] <bavani> No its nfsmw
[09:09] <ikonia> shredding: php is either on/off within the web server
[09:09] <shredding> Well, let's say i'm not the only one with it.
[09:09] <cfoch> cfoch don't like to use synaptic
[09:09] <shredding> Yes, thats true.
[09:09] <bavani> The appdb says it works fine
[09:10] <shredding> It's on.
[09:10] <wo0t99> try playonlinux ? or getdeb ?
[09:10] <ikonia> bavani: then the people who maintain the winedb (the wine support guys) can help you
[09:10] <shredding> But apache does not parse php in subdirs.
[09:10] <bavani> How can i get to them?
[09:10] <cfoch> cfoch doesn't like to use synaptic * (bad english)
[09:10] <ikonia> shredding: again, very unlikley, what's the actual error you get ?
[09:11] <shredding> ikonia: It's not an error. PHP scripts are offered for download by apache instead of getting parsed.
[09:11] <shredding> I tried this:
[09:11] <shredding> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8427131/apache-webserver-subdirectories-not-loading
[09:11] <shredding> And that:
[09:11] <shredding> http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/ubuntu-server-apache-php-files-are-download-instead-of-opening-in-browser/
[09:11] <shredding> (Both have the exact same problem)
[09:11] <bavani> Got the problem
[09:11] <ikonia> shredding: one moment let me read
[09:11] <cfoch> what -cf does?
[09:11] <shredding> thank you very much
[09:11] <halfie_> hi, is there a PPA for GCC 4.8 snapshots builds?
[09:11] <nlici> is there any one?
[09:11] <bavani> Installing DirectX did the trick
[09:11] <cfoch> (bad english) what does -cf do?
[09:12] <kx> Trieste: have you tried checking the alternate ISO? you may be able to install the entire thing in text mode or install the base, then kubuntu-desktop on top of that. not sure
[09:12] <bavani> thnx 4 bearing me up
[09:12] <Trieste> kx: I haven't thought of that, good idea, I'll check
[09:13] <ikonia> shredding: in the web root (where php works) can you give me the name of a file that works please ?
[09:13] <shredding> It's localhost!
[09:14] <shredding> You can't access it from the outside.
[09:14] <shredding> My guess is the following:
[09:14] <ikonia> I don't want to access it
[09:14] <shredding> the file is named index.php
[09:14] <shredding> I have copied the exact same file in a subdir and it does not work.
[09:14] <ikonia> shredding: ok, in the subdirectory if you create a file called index.php with the simple phpinfo command in it, what happens ?
[09:15] <shredding> It gets downloaded instead of getting parsed
[09:15] <linocisco> anybody from Tirana?
[09:15] <ikonia> shredding: even if it's called index.php ?
[09:15] <ikonia> linocisco: why ?
[09:15] <shredding> Yes.
[09:15] <ikonia> shredding: can you please pastebin nyour sites enabled file for that site
[09:15] <halfie_> does gcc-snapshot package installs GCC 4.8.x series?
[09:15] <Dade> woot figured it out
[09:15] <linocisco> ikonia, an IT vacancy there
[09:15] <ne0_> ubuntu ? convince me! why should i give up on windows
[09:15] <wo0t99> u should allow php mime on apache.conf to allow that :)
[09:15] <ikonia> linocisco: so nothing to do with this channel then
[09:16] <oCean> linocisco: please /join #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit chat
[09:16] <Gosset_Inofensiu> hello, a question: i would like to log in on Unity and keep left launcher, delete the top panel and add customizable gnome-panel
[09:16] <shredding> My guess is: I have installed apt-get php5 BEFORE i installed it again with apache dependencies.
[09:16] <ikonia> shredding: sorry what ?
[09:16] <Trieste> god dammit http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/12.04/kubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso
[09:16] <shredding> Ok, first of all, I'm new to linux.
[09:16] <ikonia> Trieste: why are you posting that, we know the download urls
[09:16] <LjL> ne0_: #ubuntu-offtopic is the better place for you as well, this one is just a technical support channel
[09:16] <Trieste> ikonia: have you tried visiting it?
[09:16] <shredding> I had to do some command line php and thought apache was already installed.
[09:16] <ikonia> Trieste: no
[09:17] <ikonia> shredding: if it's already installed, it won't be a problem
[09:17] <oCean> Trieste: also, control your language here, please
[09:17] <wo0t99> shredding : phpinfo()
[09:17] <shredding> That's why I sudo apt-get PHP5 and php got installed and i performed some command line stuff.
[09:17] <Trieste> oCean: sorry
[09:17] <Dade> shredding did you install apache with apt-get install lamp-server^
[09:17] <shredding> No.
[09:18] <Dade> give that a shot I'm in the process of reinstalling my own server and lamp-server^ did everything for me in one go
[09:18] <vincentfengzi> hey guys,after install ati driver,i restart and found the launcher and the panel is gone.how do i fix it?
[09:18] <Dade> mysql apache and php was rocking
[09:18] <shredding> I used this:
[09:18] <Trieste> I wonder who should I contact about the broken links on kubuntu.org
[09:18] <wo0t99> lamp-server option will resolve the the issue
[09:19] <shredding> http://www.mypcsupport.de/net/linux/ubuntu-lamp-installation/
[09:19] <LjL> Trieste: maybe #ubuntu-website, but don't quote me on that
[09:19] <vincentfengzi> but i still see the top panel when i log in
[09:19] <ikonia> Trieste: the links on the kubuntu website works fine
[09:19] <Trieste> ikonia: it 404s here, that's strange
[09:19] <Dade> shredding go with this instead
[09:19] <shredding> Dade: How do I get rid of my current installation in order to install lamp?
[09:19] <Dade> http://tuxtweaks.com/2012/04/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[09:19] <ikonia> Trieste: go to the website and press the "download" buttons,
[09:20] <shredding> Dade: Sorry if this is dumb but I come from windows
[09:20] <cfoch> could someone give me a manual about autocompletion in bashrc ?
[09:20] <Dade> Shredding: dont worry about it just run sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[09:20] <Trieste> ikonia: I need the alternate cd, which 404s here
[09:20] <ikonia> shredding: not dumb at all
[09:20] <Dade> apt-get will figure out the rest
[09:20] <ikonia> shredding: that's why people are here, to help you
[09:20] <vincentfengzi> press alt+f2 or the super button but nothing happen.
[09:21] <Gosset_Inofensiu> how do I delete top panel on Unity?
[09:21] <ikonia> Trieste: it's not on any of the mirrors, which suggests it's not been released/populated for some reason
[09:21] <beata1> firefox-nightly's menu doesn't pick up, either. I currently have no idea what to check.
[09:21] <Dade> shredding: yeah man dont sweat it im a big windows guy myself here to figure out a problem too :)
[09:21] <shredding> is the  ^ requiered?
[09:21] <Dade> yes
[09:21] <Trieste> ikonia: I see, any idea why that might be?
[09:21] <Propuls1on> Has anyone ever used devilspie?
[09:21] <LjL> Dade: what is the ^ for?
[09:21] <ikonia> Trieste: nope, not read anything
[09:21] <cfoch> some funny channel about games in ubuntu ?
[09:21] <wo0t99> shredding: try install sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 to resolve that php5 download issue
[09:22] <Dade> LjK: its whats listed in the repository
[09:22] <shredding> Dade: It did some processing but says everything is actual and fine and 0 files where changed
[09:22] <Lolostudio> Hi again. I downloaded the nvidia 295.33 driver to fix my x server crashing problems, but i can't manage to install it; when i run a "sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.33.run" in a terminal i got an error message saying I can't install it while running a x server...seems normal to me, the problem is that I can't switch on console mode cause when I push ctrl+alt+Fx with x€ [1;6], i get a black screen and my screen turn
[09:22] <shredding> wo0t99: same here.
[09:23] <shredding> Ah wait!
[09:23] <shredding> Something has changed.
[09:23] <Dade> :)
[09:23] <shredding> I can now access index.php like this:
[09:23] <shredding> http://localhost/flow3/Web/index.php
[09:23] <shredding> However: http://localhost/flow3/Web/ does not work
[09:23] <wo0t99> that directives from your http conf >.<
[09:23] <ikonia> shredding: you'll need to update the default index file names in your apache config file
[09:24] <shredding> You mean httpd.conf?
[09:24] <ikonia> shredding: apache2.conf
[09:24] <ikonia> shredding: slightly different in ubuntu
[09:24] <wo0t99> shredding: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP .. it worth for your reference :)
[09:24] <TzeM> Why in myunity in the begin i see thiw message --> Your Ubuntu 12.04 is running in 2D mode.
[09:24] <TzeM> Many features will not be available.
[09:24] <Abhijit> where can i find md5 for 12.04 64 bit? it is not there on download torrent page help
[09:25] <Trieste> ikonia: the bittorrent links work, though, maybe it's just the HTTP mirrors that are broken?
[09:25] <datruth> How can I use my webcam in kubuntu 12.04?
[09:25] <ikonia> Trieste: I'm sure they will get populated shortly
[09:25] <shredding> Okay.
[09:25] <Abhijit> !md5
[09:26] <shredding> Okay.
[09:27] <shredding> ikonia: Do you know how to do this?
[09:27] <Boreeas> While upgrading from 11.04->11.10->12.04, something went wrong with the window renderer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31575034/Other/Selection_008.png - Hoŵ do I fix that?
[09:27] <oCean> shredding: add index.php to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
[09:27] <ikonia> shredding: DirectoryIndex is the parameter
[09:28] <kx> Lolostudio: going to need to boot to console or ctlr-alt-fn immediately after booting might work. i had the same problem. just use the recovery boot option
[09:28] <Abhijit> is there any gui tool to compare md5 ?
[09:29] <wo0t99> Abhijit : usually terminal work best
[09:29] <Dade> shredding: oCean is on to something I agree make sure that index.php is in the file he listed.
[09:29] <LinuxMonkey> Gui tool...sure its called Terminal then run appropriate commands.lol
[09:29] <Propuls1on> Has anyone ever used devilspie?
[09:30] <oCean> Propuls1on: why not ask your actual question
[09:30] <Lolostudio> kx: I nerver did this so i don't really know how to do it...I have to shut it down, then turn it on and on grub, choose the "Linux recovery mode" option? or you meant when I choose the "normal" Linux option in grub, I instantly try to launch console mode?
[09:30] <wo0t99> ubottu: !devilspie
[09:30] <Propuls1on> Well, i'm new here.. not sure how it works..
[09:30] <Abhijit> wo0t99, linux4u i mean i remember there was tool in past where i point it to iso and then i copy paste the hash from website and them it tells it they match or not like that
[09:30] <shredding> It already says: http://pastebin.com/qPV2VWg2
[09:31] <Propuls1on> But I'm trying to move windows to certain workspaces automatically.. but if I enter that in devilspie, it doesn't work. However, when I try something like maximizing the window, it does work.
[09:31] <oCean> Abhijit: several cd-burning programs have that
[09:31] <kx> Lolostudio: either. with the bad driver my terminals would blank out after using x for a while but no immediately after booting. but you might as well use the recovery mode option
[09:31] <Abhijit> oCean, i am talking about checking md5 sum and not about burning the cd
[09:32] <wo0t99> shredding : how about mod enable?
[09:32] <LinuxMonkey> Abhijit, try hashcalc
[09:32] <oCean> Abhijit: I understand, but burning tools have the capability to check the md5 of the ISO. Besides that, I would use the terminal for something that simple
[09:32] <shredding> wo0t99: You mean mod_enable module.c in httpd.conf?
[09:32] <Lolostudio> kx: okay, thanks a lot, I'm going to try it :) and in console mode, i just have to type the same things than in the terminal ( so "cd /home/my_name/downloads" and "sudo bash driver_name.run" ?)
[09:33] <oCean> shredding: no, if dir.conf was in your mods-enabled directory, then there is no need to enable it again
[09:33] <shredding> ok
[09:34] <wo0t99> shredding: try gksudo /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and comment #php_admin_value engine off
[09:34] <oCean> wo0t99: why?
[09:34] <wo0t99> shredding : and then sudo service apache2 restart, see how it work
[09:35] <Stereocaulon> Are there any non-unity related problems that I might run into  when upgrading from 11.10?
[09:35] <antnash> Hey guys. I'm trying to set  cron reboot, but it's just not doing anything. I did sudo crontab -e and added 0 6 * * * reboot   What's wrong with that?
[09:35] <oCean> shredding: are you sure the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file is the default config? Does it include directives as "Include mods-enabled/*.load"
[09:35] <shredding> I already did that woOt99
[09:35] <kx> Lolostudio: should work. actually i think ubuntu now uses a blacklist stub preventing direct installation of nvidia driver now.. you may have to remove it. theyre doing everything possible now to make it harder to fix your system from their buggy packages.. it was there in 9.10 i dont know if it's still there or the exact procedure.. just be on the lookout and might want to google that first because i dont remember
[09:35] <oCean> shredding: really, in a default installation this all should work. I'm not sure what happened to your installation/config
[09:36] <nlici> can i get any answers ?any body who can help ?
[09:36] <shredding> Is there any option to remove anything and retry?
[09:36] <Stereocaulon> !ask | nclici
[09:36] <wo0t99> shredding : try to remove --purge and reinstall it back
[09:37] <shredding> oCean: It does include the line "Include mods-enabled/*.load
[09:37] <jeampz> Hi guys, can anyone explain why I'm getting a "permission denied" on just one folder of my nas?
[09:37] <sent> !details jeampz
[09:38] <sent> !details | jeampz
[09:38] <Dade> well I thought my problem was fixed but its not... so I have a few SSL Virtualhosts and they work fine until I restart the box. Then all of the SSL virtualhosts point to the directory listed in default-ssl. If I restart Apache2 service manually everything works as intended. any ideas?
[09:38] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, are you logged in as root? Which folder are you referring to?
[09:38] <jeampz> sorry, okay. So I go into places
[09:38] <Lolostudio> kx: aaaaaw, getting complicated x') hum, i'll try first, but if it doesn't work maybe I should wait for the fix...you said (or someone else, I don't remember cause several people helped me) it was reported, so the fix shouldn't be too ;kl
[09:38] <jeampz> browse networks
[09:38] <lewis1711> I'm in 12.04. when I close the lid on the laptop the wifi disconnects. how can I prevent this? I can't find any "power settings". is there a binary name?
[09:38] <Propuls1on> Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I try to move programs automatically to a certain workspace using gdevilspie. Now I have this code generated: http://paste.ubuntu.com/954595/ , but when I start the program (Terminal in this case) it still opens on the workspace I'm on at that moment. Does someone know how to solve this?
[09:38] <Lolostudio> too long* arf
[09:39] <shredding> oCean: I'm using this httpd.conf on top http://pastebin.com/3gcE59Lh
[09:39] <shredding> This moves my dev directory to /home/john/www
[09:39] <JonathanEllis> Good morning. I am running chromium-browser 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1 on ubuntu 12.04. I have only just done a clean install of the distro in the last day or two. Chromium browser crashes randomly, sometimes on startup and sometimes after a while. I have pasted the error messages from the terminal to http://pastebin.com/G6tfkWNn
[09:39] <shredding> But I do not understand anything that goes on there.
[09:40] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, obviously your NAS does not run ubuntu. It sounds as if you are accessing your NAS through a web interface, right?
[09:40] <shredding> I have a linux book but am still at "using vim", the "configure apache" chapter is definitly coming next ;)
[09:40] <Whiskey> Where can i find Ubuntu 12.04 Minimal CD?
[09:40] <wo0t99> shredding : the document root should replace from your pwd
[09:40] <kx> Lolostudio: yeah good idea if it's too complicated. just prepare for potentially decently long wait heeh
[09:40] <jeampz> I'm accessing my nas through nautilus
[09:40] <FrameFever> Hi there
[09:40] <shredding> pwd?
[09:40] <jeampz> i go nas (CIFS)
[09:40] <FrameFever> I have installed ubuntu in vmware
[09:40] <FrameFever> but I get only a terminal screen
[09:40] <jeampz> i have full access on all shares on all folders but one
[09:40] <FrameFever> how can I start the xserver?
[09:41] <jeampz> i try to create a new folder and it just says permission denied
[09:41] <jeampz> but i can create folders on all other parts of the directory
[09:41] <datruth> ahh a nice small program for kde
[09:41]  * datruth claps
[09:41] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, ok,  what protocol did you use to attach to your NAS? ftp, sftp? Did you logon as root on your NAS?
[09:42] <jeampz> i'm now using gvfs-mount
[09:43] <jeampz> i don't know what root logon means... sorry
[09:43] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, Yes, but that's a method, not a protocol.
[09:43] <Dade> found this in my log not sure if it sounds like a problem or a notice [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/1.0.1 configured -- resuming normal operations
[09:43] <Stereocaulon> !root | jeampz
[09:43] <jeampz> oh, yes, it's cifs
[09:44] <Dade> just run sudo bash
[09:44] <piglit> is there a netspilt going on ?
[09:44] <Dade> for root
[09:44] <UbuBasher> Hello
[09:44] <shredding> Ok. I guess I can figure it out, I'm now starting with just typing index.php
[09:44] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, in that case you are accessing your NAS through Windows File sharing protocol Samba.
[09:44] <shredding> Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.
[09:44] <jeampz> ok
[09:45] <shredding> On last question: Is there any preinstalled ide (except vim :)) on ubuntu for php?
[09:45] <shredding> (I'm at holiday and am actually tethering from my mobile phone.
[09:45] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, that protocol won't give you full access to your NAS if it's linux based. For that, you'll need to logon using SSH (if that is possible on your NAS) and as root.
[09:46] <UbuBasher> shredding; nano is my fav
[09:46] <UbuBasher> I LOVE nano
[09:46] <Lolostudio> Just tried to run the console before the x server starts and it's the same, black screen and turning off screen, same with recovery mode; i can't access my console at all, hum...seems I don't even have choice, have to wait for the fix.
[09:46] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, but please be careful when you are logged as root. You will have the ability to brick your NAS.
[09:47] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, logged >in< as root (...)
[09:47] <jeampz> haha, excellent. okay. i'll have a look for how to do that
[09:47] <Mayazcherquoi> What's the official Wine IRC channel? :S
[09:48] <Stereocaulon> Mayazcherquoi, that would be #winehq
[09:48] <UbuBasher> Don't know......how is Wine working these days?
[09:48] <LinuxMonkey> Mayazcherquoi, its #winehq
[09:48] <Mayazcherquoi> Ahk, thank you guys :)
[09:48] <LinuxMonkey> UbuBasher, good
[09:49] <FrameFever> can nobody help?
[09:49] <Stereocaulon> jeampz, before you do go mucking about as root, please be sure to read up on some basic linux/ bash knowledge.
[09:49] <Stereocaulon> !ask | Framefever

[09:53] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, please describe you audio problem in detail, but don't use Enter as punctuation ;-)
[09:53] <MACscr> this loss of network access is increasing. Its happening about every 15 minutes now. Its driving me insane. This a wired connection and there are no errors in the logs about it
[09:53] <yabanize> I just installed transmission-daemon on my server, where is the settings.json file?
[09:53] <confused> :( can someone help me fix this?
[09:53] <FrameFever> so nobody can help?
[09:53] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, describe you => describe your
[09:53] <ikonia> confused: karmic no longer on that server
[09:53] <ikonia> !karmic
[09:53] <ikonia> confused: it's end of life
[09:54] <FrameFever> whats the command the reboot the system from terminal?
[09:54] <greenbrother> ok, excuse me. I have rwo problems: 1st is may be with driver - I have presonus audiobox usb and sometimes I hear pups in the sound
[09:54] <rymate1234> 9.10 is dead
[09:54] <ikonia> FrameFever: "reboot"
[09:54] <confused> so what can i do to get lvm2 installed temporarily to move my partitions around?
[09:54] <ikonia> confused: you need to use the old release server
[09:54] <NotJimCarrey> can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12
[09:54] <ikonia> confused: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[09:54] <FrameFever> then I get "reboot: need to reboot"
[09:54] <FrameFever> and nothing happens
[09:55] <ikonia> FrameFever: "sudo reboot"
[09:55] <FrameFever> ohh thanks
[09:55] <aRn0> Hi all. If Chrome is the only browser to offer the latest flash for linux integrated, is there gonna be a better Chrome integration in Unity?
[09:55] <confused> ikonia: sorry for my lack of knowledge but, what exactly do i do with the link you sent me?
[09:56] <FrameFever> damn it doesnt helped
[09:56] <ikonia> confused: you need to change the sources list to point at that server, that's where the EOL releases are stored
[09:56] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, try shutting down unneccesary channels that might be a source of crosstalk or distortion. On cheap soundchips, the microphone channel is usually not that separated from the rest. That may be your primary suspect.
[09:56] <blackbox> hello! anyone can help. how should i resize my partition Ubuntu Linux ... help please. My partition is too low now they in 3gb more ... i just give 15gb for my Ubuntu Linux..
[09:56] <kx> aRn0: that question has yet to be answered, no doubt
[09:57] <rymate1234> blackbox, you would use a partition resizer tool
[09:57] <confused> ikonia: i'll look around to see where i can do that, thanks much :)
[09:57] <blackbox> can you give me a link ??
[09:57] <rymate1234> blackbox, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[09:58] <blackbox> gparted ?? i have install it and this cannot edit my partition T.T
[09:58] <Stereocaulon> blackbox, if you have any NTFS partitions on that box, be sure to check for errors first in Windows.
[09:58] <rymate1234> try the live cd edition
[09:58] <greenbrother> what you mean with "unneccesary channels"? For example - I'm opened only xbmc media center and loocking film, but this problem stay.
[09:58] <rymate1234> I had to use the ive cd partitons to resize my partitons
[09:59] <LinuxMonkey> yeah you cant resize an active partition. :) hence why the live CD works
[09:59] <blackbox> what error need to checlkk ??
[10:00] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, if you are only listening to audio and not recording in the mean while, your line-in and microphone channels can be shut down without negative consequences. That might even solve the pops you are hearing.
[10:00] <LinuxMonkey> blackbox, just launch your pc via live CD and run gparted from there, it should let you resize it
[10:00] <blackbox> Ok i will try :D ...
[10:01] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, unless you are connecting to XMBL through line-in of course.
[10:01] <Awolf> Hello
[10:02] <greenbrother> Yeah, I konw that and my mic is shutting down. I'm shure that problem is software problem. In windows i install driver and this is all, but I dont know how I can make that in ubuntu.
[10:02] <Xaro> Hey
[10:02] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, you can toggle mute on any unneeded channels through alsamixer, using [M] when you have selected that channel. Just be sure to re-enable them when you need them
[10:04] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, try this: kill pulseaudio
[10:04] <tobias_> help please! my 12.04 doesn't see my wireless network card at all. i don't know where to begin to try fixing the problem!
[10:04] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, try this: pkill pulseaudio
[10:04] <greenbrother> in terminal?
[10:04] <DexterF> I cant take the fscking adobe flash plugin anymore. any other options?
[10:04] <intore_> hi, i need to run the command slapindex using openldap user but i don't know how to do it? how can i change the user to run a command?
[10:04] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, yes, in the terminal.
[10:04] <confused> ikonia: okay i'm lost... how can i use the link you gave as the one where it looks for?
[10:05] <kotrcka> hi guys, is there a way, how to run a simple ftp server as an user? for example, I want to run it now, I will run command ABC and when I am done, I will quit it..
[10:05] <Stereocaulon> DexterF, well, there is always gnash, but it won't run all flash programs
[10:05] <greenbrother> OK! I'll try!
[10:05] <shafeeqes> how to remove an apllication in ubuntu 12.04 via terminal .. ? (for eg: GIMP)
[10:05] <kotrcka> shafeeqes, apt-get remove gimp
[10:05] <DexterF> shafeeqes: man aptitude. or apt-get. or dpkg. or synaptic from terminal
[10:05] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, pulseaudio should restart automatically, but this might give you a window without the pops and crackles.
[10:05] <kotrcka> as a root
[10:06] <shafeeqes> thanks
[10:06] <greenbrother> The problem stay :(
[10:06] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, what sound chip do you use? "lspci | grep audio"
[10:07] <CrazyGangster> Hello ppl, any1 knows if there is a way to not redirect the system beep to my headphones? Because i want to hear music on my headphones and hear the system beep when im way from the PC without unplug the headphones jack...
[10:07] <greenbrother> Presonus Audiobox USB
[10:08] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, yes, but that box probably contains a standard sound chip, do you get the same description through lspci?
[10:08] <CrazyGangster> internal pc system beeper
[10:09] <nlici> Hi friends can i have help please
[10:09] <nlici> i can not able to get answer from any body
[10:09] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, lspci | grep -i audio
[10:09] <LinuxMonkey> !ask | nlici
[10:09] <confused> ikonia: are you there?
[10:10] <nlici> thx. i upgrade to 12.04 but as i see now i can not use my printer .
[10:10] <Stereocaulon> nlici, what printer do you use? Some more details would be helpful here.
[10:10] <nlici> even i can see the printer on the system it starts like printing then writes on status stopped what can be the problem ?
[10:10] <Ologn> Is there any way to check for all packages - not on a system necessarily - that depend on a library?
[10:11] <confused> Can someone help me change my sources to point to the old karmic sources?
[10:11] <nlici> it is samsung scx 3200
[10:11] <Ologn> So if if libwhatever exists, you can see what applications out there use libwhatever?
[10:11] <greenbrother> I don't know this answare, but this is my audio interface: http://presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=53
[10:11] <Snii> Hi, does anyone have experience with installing via PXE? I have got the macine to boot over the network and start the installer, but after i select a mirror "archive.ubuntu.com" and click enter it seems to just stand there with a blank (blue) screen doing nothing..
[10:12] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, yuck the site requires flash :-/
[10:12] <michlemken-1> why is myswl-server not installing (12.04) ?
[10:12] <nlici> before it was working properly without any problem !
[10:14] <wildc4rd> Good morning all, any good reason not to upgrade to 12.04 on a fairly simple desktop setup?
[10:14] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, try using another USB port and if you are not using one already, use a USB cable with a Ferrite core surrounding the cable to minimize interference.
[10:14] <greenbrother> ok, let stay this problem, my other problem is I think with codec - when I seeng some film - the effects are laud and the speak is quit. Can you tell me what I can do?
[10:14] <michlemken-1> wildc4rd, mysql is down
[10:14] <LinuxMonkey> wildc4rd,  not that i know of and 12.04 offers LTS :)
[10:15] <haylo> wildc4rd, cmon there is no reason to upgrade linux- it is just likely to cause breakage
[10:15] <LjL> haylo: wut
[10:15] <confused> Can someone help me with installing a simple lvm2 package on an old karmic live cd?
[10:15] <Hoyt> confused: what's the problem you met ?
[10:15] <haylo> thats right LjL upgrading linux systems is re-dundant. a good one can run for ten years
[10:16] <Ingram> why does echo "lava" | sed 's/^[a-z]*//' return va instead of nothing?
[10:16] <kx> wildc4rd: unstable nvidia drivers, nonfunctional vmware broken package installs etc. you know the  usual
[10:16] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, if the speech and the rest of the audio are on different channels, you can adjust the channels accordingly.
[10:16] <Hoyt> Ingram: i returned nothing here
[10:16] <greenbrother> no, they are no on different channels
[10:16] <LinuxMonkey> haylo, must still be running Slackware 1.0
[10:16] <LjL> haylo: that's nonsense. you aren't at least concerned about security? if you aren't, i guess that's your problem, but giving nonsense advice to others is a different thing
[10:16] <Ingram> Hoyt, strange. what's your version of sed?
[10:16] <kx> forgot broken wine games
[10:17] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, did you cehck the level of compatibilty of you device on  the linux hardware compatibility list?
[10:17] <haylo> haha you can run security updates - but you dont have to upgrade LjL and you know im correct
[10:17] <Hoyt> Ingram: 4.2.1 on arch
[10:17] <trek201> how do I turn on wireless networking in ubuntu?
[10:17] <hellosputnik> Is this the new official channel for Ubuntu? I always thought the official one was on freenode.
[10:17] <LjL> haylo: right, so when your distribution is no longer supported (thus providing no security updates), what do you do exactly?
[10:17] <LjL> hellosputnik: this *is* freenode
[10:17] <Hoyt> trek201: is that a laptop ?
[10:17] <Ingram> Hoyt, meh. Everything works fine in arch. I have 12.04 running with 4.2.1-9 and it seems to be broken
[10:17] <confused> Hoyt: i get a bunch of timeouts because karmic is not supported anymore. i need to change the source to the ubuntu old server, but i don't know how
[10:17] <hellosputnik> LjL, excuse my inexperience.
[10:17] <haylo> re- install . not just keep upgrading and wondering why it doesnt work
[10:18] <michlemken-1> is there a way to install mysql-server-5.5 ?
[10:18] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother, if the problem is intermittent, the notifier sounds from the desktop might cause the interference.
[10:18] <confused> Hoyt: i can't do apt-get update
[10:18] <Hoyt> confused: yeah , i guess there's no way to fix it , unless you try to compile from source code , but that requires a large number of dependencies
[10:18] <greenbrother> I have saw that ubuntu require intel cpu. My PC is hp sff with intel cpu.
[10:18] <trek201> Hoyt: no. but i use to use ubuntu 11 with a laptop and it always just found my wireless and used it. now im using the new 12.04 on a desktop. i installed it with wired networking and i just bought a wireless adpater and plugged it in, but have no idea how to get ubuntu to see it.
[10:18] <Hoyt> confused: i'm not sure what LVM depends on , but that requires gcc to be installed
[10:19] <Hoyt> trek201: first confirm the drivere (kernel module) is loaded
[10:19] <Hoyt> trek201: can you see the interface from *ifconfig -a* ?
[10:19] <confused> Hoyt: i can't install anything though, because my sources are all pointing to where stuff used to be-- and it's not there anymroe
[10:19] <confused> anymore *
[10:19] <Stereocaulon> greenbrother ....groan... no I mean the level of linux compatibility of your Presonus USB sound"card".
[10:19] <Hoyt> confused: i mean to download the source code from internet , not ubuntu's , but I guess you didn't have gcc installed
[10:20] <Hoyt> confused: so it's wasting your time
[10:20] <ikonia> confused: why are you trying to install LVM on a livecd
[10:20] <confused> yeah :/
[10:20] <hellosputnik> Does closing the Ubuntu Software Center while it's installing something cancel its installation?
[10:20] <Hoyt> confused: why use karmic
[10:20] <confused> ikonia: i need to expand my lvm partition
[10:20] <Hoyt> confused: also if you need lvm , just use alternative cd
[10:20] <ikonia> confused: ok, so why are you not doing that from your system ?
[10:20] <confused> Hoyt: it's the only live cd i have...
[10:20] <greenbrother> yeah, OK, but i have build in audio too and with this audio I haven's "pups" problem, but the problem with effects and speak stay
[10:20] <ikonia> confused: why are you using the livecd for that ?
[10:20] <Hoyt> confused: can you boot from usb ?
[10:20] <nojhan> hi, how may I change the default font use by gtk apps when I'm not using gnome ?
[10:21] <Hoyt> confused: i forget you can boot a alternative cd from hdd
[10:21] <confused> i'm using a live cd because you shouldn't expand a partition from its own OS, no?
[10:21] <Shape> Hello I'm trying to run sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and it says "gnome-shell" has no instalation canditate?
[10:21] <Stereocaulon> confused, goood point
[10:21] <ikonia> confused: that's the whole point of lvm
[10:21] <ikonia> confused: you can change your disk dynamic
[10:21] <confused> really? so i can just do that within the other OS?
[10:21] <ikonia> confused: within the other OS ???
[10:21] <Hoyt> confused: yes
[10:21] <ikonia> confused: you use your normal system
[10:21] <Stereocaulon> ikonia, even your / partition?
[10:21] <confused> ah okay
[10:21] <Hoyt> confused: wait a moment , i'll find you some links
[10:22] <confused> fantastic
[10:22] <confused> thanks very much for that, that seems much easier.
[10:22] <ikonia> confused: boot into your ubuntu system, use lvm to resize the logical volume you are using
[10:22] <Hoyt> confused: is that i386 or x64 ?
[10:22] <confused> 64 i believe
[10:22] <haylo> any partition that is not mounted, you can change usually
[10:22] <ikonia> Stereocaulon: sure, lvm can be done on the running system
[10:22] <confused> er
[10:22] <ikonia> no, you can change mounted partitions in LVM
[10:22] <confused> it will be mounted though
[10:22] <confused> to expand
[10:22] <ikonia> that is the WHOLE point of it
[10:22] <Hoyt> confused: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
[10:22] <Dade> anyone know if its possible to delay Apache's startup? I think part of my problem is that its comming up before networking is up
[10:22] <Hoyt> confused: grab the "vmlinuz" nd "initrd.gz" , put it in your /boot
[10:22] <ikonia> confused: ignore what Hoyt is telling you
[10:23] <Stereocaulon> ikonia, sounds really nice. Might try that on my next setup.
[10:23] <Shape> !nounity
[10:23] <Hoyt> ikonia: has better ideas /
[10:23] <confused> Hoyt: what is it for?
[10:23] <ikonia> confused: do not do it
[10:23] <Hoyt> confused: to boot the alternative cd of ubuntu 12.04
[10:23] <Hoyt> confused: that one contains a minimal system , that you can do LVM resizing
[10:23] <phibxr> hellosputnik, not in 12.04 at least.
[10:23] <ikonia> confused: again - ignore what Hoyt is saying
[10:23] <Hoyt> ikonia: what's your solution then
[10:23] <ikonia> confused: there is no need to do anything
[10:24] <phibxr> hellosputnik, it uses a service in the background to install the application, so you can queue up installs and/or close the software center.
[10:24] <ikonia> confused: boot your system normally, resize your lvm volumes
[10:24] <hellosputnik> I see. Thank you, phibxr.
[10:24] <confused> Hoyt: ikonia was saying that lvm allows you to resize lvm volumes from within a booted lvm volume
[10:24] <ikonia> confused: correct.
[10:24] <confused> is that correct ikonia ? or was i misinterpreting
[10:24] <confused> okay
[10:24] <Hoyt> confused: i'm confused , can you install lvm on your current system ?
[10:24] <Hoyt> confused: if you can , then no need for alternative cd
[10:25] <Shape> Can someone please help me? Why am I getting this? "Package gnome-shell is not available, but is referred to by another package. "
[10:25] <trek201> i don't understand this new ubuntu 12.04 interface. all the ways im use to looking for settings arent available anymore.
[10:25] <confused> yeah i'm going to go into the lvm OS and try from there
