[08:13] <somsip> chamunks: is this Wordpress?
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: I'd ask in the apache channel too
[08:14] <chamunks> I was conciddering it ActionParsnip
[08:14] <chamunks> somsip, yes
[08:14] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: Well, chrome is installed... now to se if Flash works.
[08:14] <somsip> chamunks: make sure /wordpress/.htaccess can be written/created by www-data.
[08:14] <apm1> ActionParsnip, sorry to ask a stupid question ,but does ufw retain the preferences i edited with gufw even after a reboot ?
[08:14] <mikubuntu> ActionParsnip: just now i had to log out and back in to webchat.freenode.net because when i tried to post the page said that action would close all irc windows -- that never happend before, could it be related to the /tmp thing?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Apm1: I imagine so but I don't use it
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Mikubuntu: why an image for text?
[08:15] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: The application Google Chrome has closed unexpectedly"... awesome!!!!
[08:15] <chamunks> somsip, http://puu.sh/1R0gN
[08:15] <mikubuntu> wanted the red type to show ActionParsnip
[08:16] <mikubuntu> ActionParsnip: do you need it in text
[08:16] <somsip> chamunks: do you get an error in Dashboard when you try to enable permalinks?
[08:17] <chamunks> somsip, not when i enable them just when I navigate once I have done so.  plus in w3tc plugin it tells me the .htaccess file isnt allowing rewrites or nginx is interfearing but i dont have nginx installed so its likely the htaccess

[08:18] <somsip> chamunks: and mod_rewrite is enabled and working?

[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Mikubuntu: no, its just lighter and faster to use text in every way
[08:19] <chamunks> somsip, well according to the diagnostics from the w3tc it is.
[08:20] <somsip> chamunks: ugly fix is to chmod 777, write it, then chmod it back to something safe. But it's something around permissions
[08:20] <mikubuntu> ActionParsnip: didn't know if the red type was significant, never had colored type come out of term
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Mikubuntu: all I can suggest is to test RAM using memtest86+ from Grub, also run an fsck from liveCD to make sure the drive and data are ok
[08:20] <david_> Hello.
[08:20] <chamunks> somsip, hmm apparently it did write out just now it didnt give me the option before but its now telling me the same error again let me f5 a few times.
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> David_: use a pastebin. I did say
[08:21] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: Well, Opened Google Chrome and Youtube for example tells me I need to install plugins. :(
[08:21] <david_> Ok

[08:21] <philwyett> Ascavasaion: What is your cpu?
[08:22] <Ascavasaion> philipballew: Very old AMD
[08:23] <philipballew> philwyett, ^
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: can you please pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[08:23] <mikubuntu> ActionParsnip: don't know how to do either of those ... its late guess i'll just hope it boots tomorrow - lol.  thx, nite.
[08:23] <nathanbz> i created a user with sudo useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser
[08:23] <nathanbz> but when i change to that user there command line seems very limited
[08:23] <philwyett> Ascavasaion:  Flash and Pepper flash in chrome require SSE2 instructions. Flash will not work for you.
[08:23] <nathanbz> do i need to setup some bash settings or somethingk
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbz: us3 adduser instead
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Use*
[08:24] <nathanbz> how do i remove the user i created
[08:24] <Ascavasaion> philipballew: Oh, okay, thank you. :(
[08:24] <chamunks> somsip, no difference
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Natanbz: sudo userdel testuser
[08:25] <somsip> chamunks: what did you do?
[08:25] <chamunks> somsip, chmod 0777
[08:25] <chamunks> somsip, http://puu.sh/1R0oq
[08:25] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1557794/
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbz: there is an option to remove the home of the user too but I forget it
[08:26] <somsip> chamunks: did you set AllowOverride All (or whatever) in your virtual host for this site?
[08:26] <chamunks> somsip, likely not
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer
[08:26] <somsip> chamunks: which would enable mod_rewrite to the site...maybe one to look at
[08:27] <nathanbz> thanks
[08:27] <chamunks> somsip, good call it was set to none
[08:27] <somsip> chamunks: tada!
[08:27] <chamunks> I'll run that on all my vhosts and see how that works.
[08:29] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: Okay I did sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer and have restarted Chrome and still no luck.  philipballew said "Flash and Pepper flash in chrome require SSE2 instructions. Flash will not work for you."... I am using an old AMD processor... is he correct?
[08:29] <chamunks> somsip, you're my hero
[08:30] <chamunks> somsip, permalinks works now and I set .htaccess back to default perms and it seems to be agreeing entirely.
[08:30] <bab> hi guys
[08:30] <philipballew> Ascavasaion, you can hit your tab key till it shows the right name usually
[08:30] <somsip> chamunks: np. Just bear in mind that All is not a safe production setting. And you know about the w3tc cache bug, yes?
[08:30] <chamunks> I do not
[08:30] <chamunks> somsip, so after I'm finished I should set it back to none?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: you may need an older flash, or you could try gnash, lightspark or even minitube , no need for flash then :)
[08:31] <somsip> chamunks: go to http://your-site/wp-content/cache If you geta directory list, block the dir in htaccess
[08:31] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: Okay, cool man.
[08:31] <Ascavasaion> philipballew: Huh?
[08:31] <chamunks> somsip, I got a 404
[08:32] <somsip> chamunks: k - should have been patched by now if you've downloaded a new version. Override None will kill your htaccess again, but it might be better to allwo htaccess, but disallow others. You'll need to read up on that yourself
[08:32] <philwyett> Ascavasaion: My old workaround: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=134940#c60
[08:33] <philwyett> Ascavasaion: yes yyou can use an old version. :-)
[08:33] <Ascavasaion> philipballew: Okay, I get it now HAHAHA!
[08:34] <fishcooker> i want to build ubuntu with no window desktop manager.. so the ubuntu after booting directly running my apps
[08:34] <chamunks> somsip, well either way you saved the day again you're awesome cheers
[08:34] <somsip> chamunks: np.
[08:35] <Ascavasaion> philwyett: Thanks for the tip, but I think that is a little advanced for me.
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Fishcooker: install ubuntu minimal
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Fishcooker: you can then install something like fluxbox or openbox to draw the windows
[08:37] <philwyett> Ascavasaion: No probs. You could try gnash as ActionParsnip suggested.
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Fishcooker: install slim as a login manager and a network manager irf you are using WiFi.  Total space is about 1.2Gb
[08:38] <Eagleman> Is there something like this for scp?  Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
[08:38] <Stefan91> Do you know if getting an internet connection via wireless is possible with ubuntu installed on a lenovo laptop?
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: you can SFTP to localhost if that is what you meant
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Stefan91: sure
[08:39] <Eagleman> ActionParsnip, i want to copy a file to a remote system, using scp
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> !scp
[08:40] <iceroot> Eagleman: scp localfile.txt user@host:/path/on/the/target/
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: nautilus can connect to sshfs too
[08:40] <Eagleman> ActionParsnip, that works however i want users inside a group that only allows them to use scp:  Subsystem sftp internal-sftp  is what i have now
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: you could chmod and chown the scp binary to restrict access
[08:42] <Eagleman> Subsystem sftp internal-sftp  should allow scp?
[08:42] <Stefan91> when i use the network-connection icon in the menu bar on the top right when ubuntu is started, there do not appear any network connections, do i have to set up anything before i can acces internet, i just got ubuntu on pc and i don't know anything about it
[08:43] <zetheroo> has anything changed between Win7 to Win8 in regards to dual booting Ubuntu?

[08:44] <dr_willis> looks like its setting the OPT variable to be the oputput of that command. ;)
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> Btral: run it then run:   echo $OPT    to see what it sets to
[08:49] <technikfreak> hello guys, does anyone could suggest me a good internetfilter so for my kids that they are able to surf safe on the web?
[08:49] <technikfreak> they are 16 and 14
[08:50] <quick-> technikfreak: procon works for firefox
[08:50] <technikfreak> ok
[08:50] <Eagleman> I was looking for this but then for scp:  ForceCommand internal-sftp
[08:50] <dr_willis> technikfreak:  put the pc in a front room so everyone can see wht they are doing. ;) you may want to look into using Opendns also. It has some filtering features
[08:50] <technikfreak> i will try it, but when they start download shit i think the only way is to use a proxy
[08:51] <technikfreak> at the moment they don|t have a smartphone but when this will happened..
[08:51] <technikfreak> dr_willis : but a 16 year teenager will hve a own laptop
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> Technikfreak: could install squid or snort and use that as a proxy, could use a dedicated box then pull up monthly logs etc
[08:51] <dr_willis> Given the size of 'protecting' the network. You have to really defin what you want to let them do and not do.. theres not going to be a single perfect answer
[08:51] <quick-> technikfreak: You can use keywords to block the content and the word list can be changed only with a password . Check https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/procon-latte/
[08:52] <dr_willis> If they have a laptop they can connect to the neighbors wifi and get aroundyour stuff. ;)
[08:52] <technikfreak> dr_willis : yeap but than i have done my protection
[08:52] <dr_willis> so its most likely going to be a multi-prong approach
[08:52] <technikfreak> haha i will setup for every neihgbarhood a proxy because in case my kids asked for network
[08:53] <technikfreak> normally they are very good and sitting not the whole day gaming or downlaoding
[08:53] <mah454> Hello

[08:53] <quick-> mah454: HI
[08:53] <Stefan91> can anybody help please?
[08:54] <zetheroo> does Ubuntu have any issue with UEFI?

[08:55] <Guest87162> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:55] <Guest87162> is only available from another source" Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[08:56] <qualia> ubunto :P
[08:56] <Guest87162> yes sorry
[08:56] <qualia> no that was cute
[08:56] <Guest87162> yeah. so any  ideas?

[08:59] <dr_willis> fishcooker:  you are better off using a very minimal window manager. such as jwm, or fluxbox
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> Qualia: it gets called all sorts
[09:00] <Guest87162> @Action, I did try this command from that page: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
[09:00] <dr_willis> Guest87162:  start with a 'sudo apt-get update' then try reinstalling it
[09:00] <Guest87162> thanks
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> Fishcooker: i've seen guides on just running chrome with some jiggery pokery

But still, sudo-apt-get install network-manager-openvpn gives me the same error of there being no release candidates. Could it be because I'm on a USB and haven't installed Ubuntu yet?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> Fishcooker: I run openbox+xcompmgr+docky   and its about 230Mb in RAM :-)
[09:05] <dreamon_> Also tried install manually install .. nothing worked fine

[09:53] <justmeh> its not silly, its smart
[09:53] <dns53> Eagleman have you tried using gpg?
[09:53] <justmeh> as long as all keystrokes were recorded and output, there's no issue.
[09:53] <Eagleman> dns53, will do it after this
[09:54] <ikonia> justmeh: what ?
[09:54] <ikonia> justmeh: encypting a file so you can't use it....is "good"
[09:54] <ikonia> sorry, but no
[09:54] <justmeh> [01:52] <ikonia> encypting something when you don't know how to decrypt it......very silly <- wrong
[09:54] <ikonia> no, it's not
[09:54] <ikonia> as it makes the file worthless
[09:54] <justmeh> you just don't have your head wrapped around an experimentation round
[09:54] <ikonia> you've just created a worthless file
[09:54] <justmeh> wrong
[09:54] <justmeh> the keystrokes and issues observed all will teach how to actually use it
[09:55] <justmeh> its as if you saying don't bother unless you already know how
[09:55] <justmeh> not very useful for a learning channel
[09:55] <ikonia> so lets see, you have a file you can use.....you encypt it with a technicque you have no idea how to decypt it and thus making the file usless
[09:55] <ikonia> you need an idea of how to decyrpt it before encypting it so you get the encyption options right
[09:55] <Eagleman> ikonia, let me find out how to decrypt it...
[09:56] <CQ> dr_willis: yes, trying ssh -X remotehost but its not settingthe display at the remote end
[09:56] <ThinkT510> ikonia: i think what justmeh is trying to say is that it is good that Eagleman is trying to learn about encrption/decryption
[09:56] <justmeh> yes
[09:56] <justmeh> and as long as the keystrokes are recorded even a failed attempt is useful.
[09:56] <justmeh> anything useful is not silly.
[09:56] <dr_willis> CQ:  you  sure you dont me -x  ? i recall -X and -x being opposites.. one disables X fowarding
[09:56] <justmeh> thus my disagreement ;)
[09:57] <ikonia> ThinkT510 I'm not saying learning is bad, but randomly doing things that can potentially ruin your files...unwise
[09:57] <dns53> gpg is relatively straight forward, gpg --encrypt --recipient 'email@host' filename,   just export the public key to the user running the script and you do not need a password to encrypt
[09:57] <CQ> dr_willis: -X enables, -x disables according to the manpage
[09:57] <ikonia> research before typing commands seems a more mature approach to achieving the goal
[09:58] <dr_willis> CQ:  jusat checking.. seen people get them reversed.. i always just setit to alwaysforward.
[09:59] <dr_willis> CQ:   if X forwarding. you shouldent need tobe messing with the xhost command at all. that would let you run an app and have  it appear on the remote pc.
[10:00] <CQ> dr_willis: any ideas why it wouldn't be set?
[10:00] <dr_willis> CQ:   if X forwarding. you shouldent need tobe messing with the xhost command at all. that would let you run an app and have  it appear on the remote pc.
[10:01] <justmeh> Eagleman, i think you forgot the input file?
[10:01] <CQ> dr_willis: all I'm doing right now is ssh -X remotehost /usr/bin/xeyes and its not getting a display... if I just ssh -X remotehost and echo $DISPLAY its empty
[10:01] <justmeh> http://www.madboa.com/geek/openssl/#encrypt-simple <- random related content @ Eagleman
[10:02] <dr_willis> echo $DISPLAY
[10:02] <dr_willis> localhost:10.0
[10:02] <dr_willis> is what i get when im ssh'd and x forwarding
[10:02] <CQ> locally I jsut see :0 which is OK...
[10:02] <justmeh> @ Eagleman also: http://www.fir3net.com/Redhat-/-Fedora/password-protect-and-encryptsalt-a-file-with-openssl-in-linux.html
[10:02] <justmeh> you should be set after looking through those
[10:02] <dr_willis> this is locally
[10:03] <CQ> what do you see if you ssh -X remotehost and there echo $DISPLAY?
[10:03] <dr_willis>  ssh -X localhost
[10:03] <dr_willis> ;)
[10:03] <dr_willis> was my test.. Idont have a box to ssh to at the moment
[10:03] <CQ> no, ssh -X remotehost... thats where you want to run the application.
[10:03] <CQ> ah, ok
[10:04] <CQ> yes, I get the same thing
[10:04] <CQ> for localhost
[10:06] <justmeh> Eagleman, any further issues?
[10:07] <nathanbz> anyone know how to access files on s3 from the command line in ubunto
[10:08] <somsip> nathanbz: use s3cmd
[10:08] <Eagleman> justmeh, that example works fine, however i need to encrypt a tar file
[10:08] <nathanbz> ty
[10:13] <Eagleman> openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in encrypted.tar.gz.enc > decrypted.tar.gz
[10:13] <Eagleman> Not sure if this will work
[10:14] <justmeh> -d ?
[10:19] <Sail> i have apache2 prob i just created mysite.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-avail/mysite.conf after this i run a2ensite mysite.conf command to enable it   for the failure  this file not working as per my condition so i delete it and after deletion whenever i run apache restart command it gave me error http://dpaste.com/hold/886669/
[10:20] <llutz> Sail: rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.conf              the dangling link still exists
[10:20] <Eagleman> justmeh, atleast it works
[10:20] <justmeh> :>
[10:20] <justmeh> see? USEFUL!
[10:21] <Eagleman> However, its not so secure to use a static password saved in a file with limited permissions
[10:21] <Sail> llutz: how to fix this?
[10:21] <justmeh> sail when you killed the site did you update the a2ensite bit?
[10:21] <justmeh> eagleman, well the master cert has to be present right?
[10:21] <llutz> Sail:nest time you use a2dissite   and don't just remove your config
[10:21] <justmeh> if so, might as well setup for passwordless encryption
[10:22] <Sail> justmeh: how to update it
[10:22] <justmeh> and, the guys were right, check out gpg
[10:22] <Eagleman> justmeh, yes i was already planning to do that. Wanted to see how this worked
[10:22] <Sail> llutz: thanx man it workd
[10:22] <Sail> *works
[10:22] <justmeh> ^_^
[10:22] <justmeh> teamwork there!
[10:23] <llutz> Sail: things usually start to work, if you do them right
[10:23] <justmeh> lulz
[10:27] <freakynl> Hi, is there any way to install targetcli without the X crap?
[10:27] <freakynl> Running ubuntu server from a 2G USB stick. targetcli wants to pull in 1.2G of packages I don't have that much space (nor do I need 90% of X)
[10:30] <Eagleman> Great, not enough entropy
[10:32] <kekko97> buongiorno a tutti
[10:32] <Eagleman> I never get higher than 200 entropy_avail
[10:34] <ikonia> Eagleman: what are you protecting ?
[10:35] <Eagleman> ikonia, i want to use gpg --gen-key but its saying that there is not enough entropy_avail
[10:35] <jnths> Hi, somebody knows a good video editor for ubuntu?
[10:36] <ikonia> Eagleman: what are you using for entropy ?
[10:36] <Eagleman> ikonia, not sure but i think:  /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
[10:37] <llutz> Eagleman: sudo apt-get install rng-tools  then run "sudo rngd -r /dev/random" in a 2nd terminal (man rngd)
[10:37] <llutz> Eagleman: ^ while you run gpg --gen-key
[10:38] <Sail> jnths: openshot for more info regarding this run apt-cache show openshot
[10:39] <jnths> Sail, thanx!
[10:40] <Eagleman> llutz, thats not working either
[10:42] <rigo> i would like to reload the sudoers file so give permissions without reboot.
[10:42] <rigo> how can i do that?
[10:42] <llutz> rigo: just let the user re-login
[10:43] <rigo> i c thanks :)
[10:43] <llutz> rigo: reboot isn't required
[10:43] <Sail> ok so i got another problem in apache 2 whenever i access apache in browser it says You don't have permission to access / on this server.
[10:43] <Sling> Sail: what does the errorlog say>?
[10:44] <llutz> Sail: you DocRoot needs to be readable by user "www-data", check it
[10:44] <Sail> Sling: what error log?? i am just getting error while accessing browser You don't have permission to access / on this server.
[10:44] <Sling> llutz: best to first check what the actual error is instead of assuming its filesystem permissions :)
[10:45] <Sail> llutz: can you please tell me the steps please
[10:45] <Sling> Sail: yes that is the browser error, the real error is in the ErrorLog (usually in /var/log/apache2/error.log I think)
[10:45] <Sling> check what your ErrorLog is set to in your configuration
[10:46] <rigo> im just sucking with xmltv+hts...
[10:46] <Sail> Sling: my last line in error log is http://dpaste.com/hold/886797/
[10:47] <Sling> Sail: why are you serving content from /root/ ?
[10:47] <Sling> you don't want to give your webserver read access to that folder, put your website in /var/www/somewhere
[10:48] <mathi> hello
[10:48] <goshWork> heyah :]
[10:48] <Ben64> just because its the documentroot, doesn't mean it should be in /root
[10:49] <headcr4sh> I need to disable automatic time/date synchronization on my Ubuntu (12.10) machine to perform some tests. I set "network time" to "off" in the control panel, but everytime I set the date manually (e.g. 'date -s "tomorror"') it only stays that way for a few tiny microseconds before switching back to NTP'd date... any ideas?
[10:50] <Sling> Sail: also best to not use htaccess files if you have access to the main configuration, it reduces performance and makes configuration more complex
[10:50] <Sail> Sling: thanx
[10:51] <zetheroo> !phone
[10:52] <headcr4sh> How _does_ Ubuntu 12.10 sync it's date/time settings? Package "ntp" is not installed on my machine,...
[10:53] <ikonia> headcr4sh: if you are not using ntp then it doesn't sync
[10:53] <justmeh> is ntpdate in?
[10:53] <headcr4sh> ikonia: yeah ... that's what I thought. But unfortunately someting IS changing my date/time...
[10:53] <justmeh> o nvm
[10:54] <justmeh> headcr4sh, more data pls
[10:54] <headcr4sh> Ok.
[10:54] <ikonia> headcr4sh: bios
[10:54] <justmeh> ya i would guess your right there, hwclock
[10:54] <justmeh> !UbuntuTime
[10:55] <headcr4sh> I execute 'date -s "tomorrow"' to MANUALLY set my date/time (I need to perform some tests) -- I can see that for a few microseconds the date will be set, but after that it switches back immediately.
[10:55] <headcr4sh> justmeh: UbuntuTime entry is old and outdated.
[10:55] <justmeh> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime @ headcr4sh
[10:55] <justmeh> ya
[10:55] <justmeh> http://linux.die.net/man/8/hwclock
[10:55] <justmeh> ^-- updates that bios drivin hwclock
[10:56] <justmeh> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TimePrecision-HOWTO/set.html <- should be exactly what you're looking fore
[10:56] <justmeh> s/fore/for
[10:58] <headcr4sh> justmeh: ok... I'll take a look.
[10:58] <Sail> !guidelines
[10:59] <headcr4sh> changing the hw clock works... BUT syncing hw clock to system clock doesn't. -- that is really strange
[11:00] <headcr4sh> 'hwclock --set --date="tomorrow" && hwclock -s' << I can see (just execute `hwclock`), that my hardware clock was changed. But it fails to adjust the system clock.
[11:00] <justmeh> well
[11:00] <justmeh> first set hwclock to utc
[11:00] <justmeh> then set system tzdata to local zone
[11:00] <headcr4sh> Something must be running in the background, but I can't put my finger on anything suspicious.
[11:00] <justmeh> then still issues?
[11:00] <zsm1703> Mq432phm8w
[11:00] <Sling> zsm1703: might want to change that password :)
[11:01] <justmeh> lol
[11:01] <justmeh> fast..
[11:01] <headcr4sh> justmeh: yes. hwclock is set to tomorrow. System clock won't let me sync w/hardware clock... :-(
[11:01] <justmeh> what commands/output are you getting?
[11:01] <erupter> hi guys! is there a well known reason why when in tty console (alt+fn) the alignement of the last row oscillates between the bottom and the top of the screen? as if some vertical alignement was wrong, except we don't have cathode ray tubes anymore :P
[11:01] <justmeh> pastebin it?
[11:01] <erupter> hi guys! is there a well known reason why when in tty console (alt+fn) the alignement of the last row oscillates between the bottom and the top of the screen? as if some vertical alignement was wrong, except we don't have cathode ray tubes anymore :P
[11:02] <justmeh> erupter, once was good, sounds like you have a vid driver issue
[11:02] <erupter> justmeh, sorry, could not read the first part of the question the first time I posted (blank spaces). that's unfortunate about the vid drivers...
[11:02] <headcr4sh> justmeh: I'll try to figure out WHAT to pastebin. ;) -- btw. the time precission HOWTO is not applicable for Ubuntu 12.10 either -- e.g. no /etc/sysconfig/clock file on 12.10 anymore.
[11:03] <headcr4sh> justmeh: something must really have changed. In the past it was enough to stop "ntp" and set date/time manually via "date" command...
[11:04] <justmeh> headcr4sh, what i do:
[11:04] <justmeh> 1. set tzdata for local timezone
[11:04] <justmeh> 2. ntpdate -uv ntp.ubuntu.com
[11:05] <justmeh> @headcrash: 22 Jan 03:04:43 ntpdate[2649]: ntpdate<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Sun Oct 17 13:35:14 UTC 2010 (1)  ////// 22 Jan 03:04:48 ntpdate[2649]: step time server <IP_ADDRESS> offset -3.830719 sec
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:05] <justmeh> greetz BluesKaj
[11:06] <BluesKaj> hi justmeh
[11:06] <zsm1703> hi
[11:06] <justmeh> hie
[11:08] <megha> is that true that after installing once we have to install it again and again when a new version of ubuntu is available ?
[11:08] <Ben64> you can upgrade
[11:08] <justmeh> megha, upgrades are pretty easy
[11:08] <justmeh> in fact it will tell you when one is out by default IIRC
[11:09] <Sling> yes, in the motd
[11:09] <justmeh> Sling, think desktop
[11:09] <justmeh> motd can do that also -- but that's typically server
[11:09] <Sling> sorry, I'm more of a server guy :)
[11:09] <justmeh> you can force a check, lets see, something like 'update-manager -d' or so
[11:09] <Sling> but anyway, best way is probably to subscribe to the announce list
[11:09] <justmeh> Sling, i hear ya ;)
[11:09] <justmeh> ya
[11:10] <justmeh> when ur system checks for packages it should be checking for releases
[11:10] <justmeh> daily / weekly / whatever its set to
[11:10] <megha> so only 1 install will last longer and no need to reinstall on new version release..
[11:10] <justmeh> @ megha it is true that a package may be updated several to dozens of times a year
[11:10] <justmeh> so you would need to download new versions as they come out - IF it matters to you
[11:11] <justmeh> you don't have to update I suppose, but i doubt very many people would cosign that as good behavior ;)
[11:11] <justmeh> megha, yeah, you will end up with a few extra packages here and there, but for the most part you can just upgrade again and again
[11:11] <megha> so just doing regular updates is fine :)
[11:11] <justmeh> sure ;)
[11:11] <megha> that's cool :)
[11:11] <justmeh> I tell mine to check and offer updates daily
[11:11] <Ben64> megha: until a new version of ubuntu comes out, then you should upgrade
[11:12] <justmeh> Ben64, don't confuse the package view with the os overall view
[11:12] <justmeh> true for os view, but don't run packages without checking for updates for 6 months
[11:12] <Ben64> i don't think he's asking about packages
[11:12] <justmeh> ben64 this is a help chan, so i tend to give a bit extra infoz
[11:12] <antonio_> does anyone here use Kdenlive?  For some reason playback is all screwed up...all the clips are playing double speed
[11:12] <justmeh> its also important to know how to think about stuffs
[11:13] <justmeh> not it @ antonio_
[11:13] <antonio_> ?
[11:13] <Ben64> megha: LTS versions released every 2 years, normal versions every 6 months
[11:14] <justmeh> ben64 - also biggest difference, is the normal versions keep more advanced packages
[11:14] <justmeh> the LTS versions _tend_ to keep more stable packages
[11:14] <Ben64> yep
[11:14] <megha> Ben64: so for eg if i  am  installing LTS version right now and say after 2 years i can upgrage to newer LTS without reinstalling the whole system ?
[11:14] <Ben64> megha: correct
[11:14] <justmeh> ^_^
[11:15] <justmeh> success!!
[11:15] <megha> cool
[11:15] <megha> :) :D
[11:15] <Ben64> next LTS is April 2014
[11:15] <megha> even this is true for norval versions ?
[11:15] <justmeh> and lts has extended support now, right ben? 5yrs instead of 3?
[11:15] <megha> normal*
[11:15] <Ben64> normal versions don't last as long
[11:15] <justmeh> megha, normal versions expire in 18 months
[11:15] <Ben64> justmeh: yes
[11:15] <justmeh> but you can mirror repos if you need to
[11:16] <megha> so after 18 months i have to reinstall my system ?
[11:16] <Ben64> best to do it after 6 months on normal releases
[11:16] <Ben64> or else you have to upgrade a few times at once
[11:16] <erupter> megha, you can keep on going just like lots of machines with winxp or ubuntu 8 do...
[11:17] <Ben64> then you miss out on security updates and bug fixes
[11:17] <justmeh> megha, let me break down for u
[11:17] <justmeh> today: 12.10 normal. 6 months: 13.04 normal, and so forth, this works very well
[11:17] <justmeh> today: 12.10 normal, 1 yr from now 13.10 normal; this works not so great
[11:18] <justmeh> today: 12.10 normal, 2 yrs from now (after 12.10 is fully dead for a few months) 14.04 - probably break
[11:18] <justmeh> so, when upgrading go one step at a time in the same line of releases
[11:18] <justmeh> normal upgrades normal, LTS upgrades LTS
[11:18] <headcr4sh> justmeh: I figured out the root cause of my problem (somehow) -- my DHCP client configuration contains a "request ntp-servers" section. So... obviously the DHCPClient was responsible for keeping my system time synced (usually a great mechanism, but as mentioned... I NEED to set my system time to a bogus value for some tests).
[11:18] <megha> justmeh: till what i understand is you are trying to say that that there is no need to reinstall the system when you are moving from 12.10 to 13.10 just a upgrage does your work
[11:18] <erupter> justmeh, I thought the only distro supposedly able to upgrade where the LTS ones, not the others...
[11:19] <headcr4sh> @ justme, others : thanks for your input anyways.
[11:19] <megha> sorry 12.10 to 13.04
[11:19] <headcr4sh> :-)
[11:19] <justmeh> megha, for 12.10 to 13.10 do 12.10->13.041->13.10
[11:19] <justmeh> yeah
[11:19] <Ben64> megha: yeah you can go 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04, or 12.04 -> 14.04
[11:20] <justmeh> @ headcr4sh - ok once your hwclock is good, then system time games can begin
[11:20] <justmeh> lets see here
[11:20] <megha> that's what i wanted to know it's cool to go on with your current ubuntu without reinstalling it :D :D :D
[11:20] <justmeh> yeah
[11:21] <justmeh> and if you really wanna do a big upgrade and be safe, you can dump your installed packages list, either from command line or synaptic, and you can also backup your /home/$USER directory
[11:24] <justmeh> hm
[11:24] <justmeh> @ headcr4sh i see what you mean
[11:25] <alexhq> How to specify Channel for gst-launch v4lsrc device=/dev/video0 for multichannel card?
[11:25] <justmeh> date;hwclock --set --date="9/22/16 16:45:05"; hwclock --hctosys;date ##does not do what i think it should
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> justmeh  maybe the people in #bash can help
[11:36] <justmeh> MonkeyDust, mebbie.. seems odd tho
[11:40] <zetheroo> what does it take for an external screen on DVI port to be seen by Ubuntu?
[11:41] <vsMS01> Can anyone tell me, which kernel will come in Ubuntu 12.04.02 ?
[11:41] <justmeh> zetheroo, that its a supported live channel, that you have a vid driver for the card in question that supports multimons (most should now), and that you setup each mon separately in xconfig
[11:42] <Ben64> !info linux-generic precise | vsMS01
[11:42] <zetheroo> I added a screen to my T400 laptop ... and it's not being seen in the Displays panel in Ubuntu 12.04
[11:42] <zetheroo> if I use VGA its just fine ... but on DVI no go
[11:43] <vsMS01> I heard something about 3.5 will become the default in 12.04.02
[11:43] <cfhowlett> vsMS01, actual specs are on the website ...
[11:43] <vsMS01> cfhowlett: can you tell me the URL?
[11:44] <Ben64> vsMS01: 12.10 has 3.5
[11:44] <Ben64> not sure what you mean by 12.04.02
[11:44] <tux11211211> how do i check if my wirelss card is functioning
[11:44] <vsMS01> Ben64: I mean the upcoming point release
[11:44] <justmeh> zetheroo, maybe one is on a card and the other is onboard?
[11:44] <Ben64> i don't think they change kernels in the middle of releases, especially LTS
[11:45] <zetheroo> justmeh: ah, could that really be? This laptop has ATI and Intel gfx and atm is running on Intel only
[11:46] <justmeh> zetheroo, you may need to look at lspci -vvv to see what is attached where
[11:46] <Ben64> although... the daily builds do show 3.5 kernel... strange
[11:46] <vsMS01> I know that 3.5 is actually included in 12.04 and I also heard that it is supported But I also found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling and in addition some comments in different lauchpad tickets
[11:46] <justmeh> might not quite get it from it, but that's a possibility, sorry i dont know that particular laptop good enough to tell
[11:49] <vsMS01> so linux-image-<flavour> linux-current should point to the quantal kernel now?
[11:50] <daze> I'm connecting to a IRC server that has a self-signed certificate. I want to add it to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/. How do I get it? xchat-gnome simply refuses to connect, not giving me an option of adding the certificate to my system (as does mIRC on win).
[11:50] <daze> Ubuntu 12.10, if that changes anything
[11:51] <_raven> will Ubuntu Phone be developed for asus padphone 2 too?
[11:52] <daze> _raven: community will port ubuntu phone to various models. if it runs android, it most likely will have a ubuntu version for it.
[11:53] <_raven> daze i plan to buy the padphone 2, hopefully it will be a version there for that then ;)
[11:54] <ThinkT510> !phone | _raven
[11:55] <daze> nice concept
[11:55] <justmeh> yes
[11:55] <justmeh> but what they showed off was um
[11:55] <justmeh> smoke
[11:55] <daze> I mean the padphone
[11:55] <daze> it's a bigger screen for your phone
[11:55] <justmeh> oh
[11:55] <justmeh> yeah
[11:56] <justmeh> look up the clambook
[11:56] <daze> if all the phones had a connector in the same place, it would be awesome :)
[11:56] <justmeh> they do
[11:56] <justmeh> its hdmi/mhl
[11:56] <tux11211211> how to check my wifi card
[11:56] <justmeh> if that connector was low latency for mhl that would be really nice
[11:56] <justmeh> !wifi | tux11211211
[11:57] <justmeh> yaknow i just realized, ubuntu is more popular than win8
[11:58] <erbo> anyone know the status of thunderbolt support? does it still make your cpu go crazy to use a apple thunderbolt display under linux?
[11:58] <daze> wow, how thin is that clambook? O.O
[11:59] <justmeh> think macbook air
[12:00] <justmeh> so point is, whether padphone, or clambook, the phone is most certainly a legit target for *nix
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> win8 is the best thing that could happen to linux
[12:00] <Eagleman> Why does gpg keeps saying It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer the next question with yes.  I want to trust that key
[12:00] <justmeh> not with 12.10 running around lol
[12:01] <justmeh> Eagleman, your gonna need the next dood up
[12:01] <justmeh> sorry :P
[12:01] <justmeh> but drop me the answer when you find it
[12:01]  * justmeh collects these things ^_^
[12:02] <Eagleman> gpg --always-trust works
[12:03] <subdesign> with 100Mbit lan how many Megabytes should be a copy process?
[12:03] <Ben64> subdesign: use math :D
[12:03] <subdesign> i have 2 ubuntu computers connected trough a router but the speed seems like 10Mbit ..
[12:04] <Ben64> there are 8 bits in a byte
[12:05] <Eagleman> subdesign in the ideal situation= 100/8= 12.5MB/sec
[12:06] <subdesign> hm thanks
[12:06] <Eagleman> so your 10 mbit speed seems alright, but i think you are talking about MB not mbit
[12:06] <subdesign> so 12.5 should be okay
[12:07] <Eagleman> 12.5 is max with your hardware
[12:07] <subdesign> then all right
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> but max values tend to be theoretical
[12:07] <cristian_c> Hi
[12:07] <cristian_c> I've enabled suspend with: dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
[12:08] <cristian_c> It works but when I try resume, a kernel panic occurs or desktop is unusable
[12:08] <justmeh> subdesign, i like installing bwm-ng and run in terminal
[12:08] <daze> so is there a way to extract the SSL certificate from an IRC server? (I'm trying to connect to a server with a self-signed certificate that I want to trust)
[12:08] <justmeh> that will tell you what your looking at, and give you something to paste for us
[12:09] <cristian_c> If I launch chromium by the terminal, I get: pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.1/resource: No such file or directory
[12:09] <subdesign> justmeh, thx suggesting no im satisfied with the value :)
[12:09] <subdesign> *now
[12:09] <cristian_c> How can I solve this problem?
[12:09] <justmeh> cool ;)
[12:10] <justmeh> daze, interesting question.
[12:10] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[12:10] <Lynx_> Hi all! I have some trouble starting sshd. I try with "sudo service ssh start" and get the message ist was started. But when I check with ps it's not running, and I also can't connect. Where would I find the error? Is there a log file?
[12:11] <erbo> Lynx_: Check /var/log/syslog
[12:12] <erbo> you can also try starting it manually to see if you get a clue to what's going on, "/usr/sbin/sshd -D"
[12:13] <Lynx_> erbo: Thanks, I found it already, I had a wrong option in the sshd_conf
[12:13] <nooooo> hello
[12:13] <nooooo> ive a proble:
[12:13] <nooooo> *problem
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> nooooo  let's hear it
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> in 1 line
[12:14] <nooooo> each time i want to install something from the softwarecenter the warning "untrusted packages" appears
[12:14] <erbo> nooooo: sudo apt-key update && sudo apt-get update
[12:14] <nooooo> but just with everything i want to install this happens
[12:15] <nooooo> erbo:  thx i ll try
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> nooooo  what's the output of lsb_release -sd ?
[12:15] <justmeh> btw daze short answer is openssh should be able to do it
[12:16] <justmeh> i had to 'phone a friend' but i gather the suggestion is to point it at the ircd
[12:16] <daze> ok, thanks. I'll look into it now ;)
[12:16] <justmeh> though, any good irc client should be able to ignore the self signed cert errors
[12:16] <justmeh> but i assume you want to explicitly accept this one, and not 'some others' ?
[12:16] <daze> yeah
[12:16] <justmeh> yeah that could differentiate one leaf from another
[12:16] <daze> accepting anything on connect isn't that safe :)
[12:16] <justmeh> yeah
[12:17] <justmeh> ok cool, let me know if it works
[12:17] <nooooo> gpg: Total number processed: 4
[12:17] <nooooo> gpg:              unchanged: 4
[12:17] <justmeh> use memoserv if i'm afk or offline @ daze
[12:20] <Lynx_> Another question: I have just installed Ubuntu, and have a second harddrive in my box. This gets mounted under /media/xxxx. I want to have this permanently mounted under /data, do I have to edit fstab to do this?
[12:20] <justmeh> Lynx_, yeah
[12:21] <justmeh> ok no
[12:21] <Lynx_> justmeh: ok, I thought maybe there was a gui way nowadays, I never know what the number in fstab mean...
[12:21] <justmeh> you can use gparted maybe
[12:22] <ThinkT510> !fstab | Lynx_
[12:23] <Lynx_> ThinkT510: cheers, I'll read that
[12:24] <justmeh> yeah gparted shows mount point but doesnt seem to set it
[12:28] <BluesKaj> justmeh, set the mount points with the partitioner when installing the OS
[12:31] <justmeh> BluesKaj, yeah, was looking for something within the full install to do the same thing
[12:31] <justmeh> for like 30s
[12:31] <justmeh> via gui
[12:31] <justmeh> there is something, i think, but i dont see it atm, too tired ^^;
[12:32] <BluesKaj> use manual partitioning . justmeh then you'll choose the partition , then change and choose / or /home or whatever you need
[12:33] <ThinkT510> BluesKaj: he isn't talking about partitioning an install, he just wants a gui front end for editing fstab
[12:35] <justmeh> ThinkT510, actually to be just slightly more precise, Lynx_ wanted it :P
[12:35] <BluesKaj> ok ThinkT510 , guess i should have scrolled back ...never heard of a fstab gui tho
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> Lynx_  try mountmanager, it's in the software center
[12:42] <troop> hello, i wonder if there is an option about sleep mode something like this; when i watch a movie it will dedect the process and will wait for the finish video and will sleep. similary windows 7 or 8
[12:43] <chris_> Is there a way to change the colour of the active and in-active tabs in the ubuntu terminal application? They are so similar that I can barely see a difference, which it makes it hard to know which tab im in.
[12:48] <henn1nk> hello guys. which package do i need to install for paperclip (rubyonrails) + imagemagick for png usage?
[12:48] <rocky> what's everyone's favourite gmail notifier (that integrates with unity's messaging dropdown) for ubuntu 12.10 ? i can't seem to get any to work
[12:49] <henn1nk> hello guys. which package do i need to install for paperclip (rubyonrails) + imagemagick for png usage? i tried out libmagickwand-dev but that didn't help.
[13:00] <Eagleman> Can this be done without writing 2 files to the disk, tar -cvpzf $file /media/backups/wd500gb/backups/rsnapshot/weekly.0/
[13:00] <Eagleman> gpg --yes --always-trust --encrypt --recipient<EMAIL_ADDRESS>$file
[13:02] <Eagleman> Instead of making a tar and encrypting the tar, i want an encrypted tar
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> Eagleman  guess you better ask in #bash
[13:05] <KNIGHT-RAK> hi all , i forget my ebox password how can i change or find with ssh in my host ?
[13:05] <fairuz> Eagleman: You can just pipe the tar to the gpg right?
[13:06] <goudkov> are there any recommendations against using aptitude with 64-bit 12.04? i'm getting some "internal resolver" messages when trying aptitude install, and no errors when trying apt-get install for the same packages.
[13:07] <goudkov> i also read some posts about there being problems with aptitude and multiarch.
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> goudkov  apt-get
[13:07] <goudkov> MonkeyDust: ?
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> goudkov  use apt-get, not aptitude
[13:08] <KNIGHT-RAK> how can stop ebox ?
[13:08] <Eagleman> fairuz, i wont end it with a file.tar.gz and file.tar.gz.gpg file?
[13:08] <goudkov> MonkeyDust: right. but is there some statement from ubuntu about it? or is it common wisdom?
[13:08] <goudkov> I've been using aptitude for a long time. really used to it.
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> !aptitude | goudkov there you go
[13:09] <goudkov> now, upgrading to 64-bit and things seems to not work
[13:09] <goudkov> so i'm trying to figure out if i should abandon aptitude completely and get used to apt-get instead
[13:09] <fairuz> Eagleman: If you pipe, you will not have the .tar
[13:10] <goudkov> MonkeyDust: ok, thanks
[13:13] <daze> justmeh: I was able to extract the certificate by using `openssl s_client -connect irc.myserver.net:6697` and copying the base64-encoded certificate block to a .crt file which I then imported into user's certificates. It seems to be good, except that the certificate in question is expired, so I'm not able to 100% confirm this. It expired ~20 days ago, so a new one should be issued by now. I'll alert the admins. Thanks for your help ;)
[13:14] <deathofbox> I was wondering if a computer using Linux can be hacked and remotely controlled.
[13:14] <deathofbox> Is it possible? I'm a little bit paranoid that I've been the target of an unscrupulous individual
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> deathofbox  wrong channel
[13:15] <ThinkT510> deathofbox: of course it can
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> deathofbox  discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[13:15] <deathofbox> ThinkT510: someone on Dalnet threatened to hack into my computer. He started doing a lot ctcp ping commands directed to my username. should I be scared?
[13:15] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: that is not offtopic here, its a security question
[13:16] <iceroot> deathofbox: no you should not be scared
[13:17] <deathofbox> Ok. Thanks for the reassurance. At the very least I have my firewall on if that helps at all.
[13:17] <ThinkT510> deathofbox: a ping is harmless
[13:17] <iceroot> deathofbox: 1. when someone says "i will hack you" you know that it will not happen because a real hacker knows what the word "hacking" means, 2. there are a few things you can do to avoid security riscs, dont run software as root when not needed, dont give your passwords away, always install the latestes secuerity updates by using software-center
[13:18] <deathofbox> iceroot: Thank you very much for that!  I will admit that I am completely ignorant when it comes to that subject matter.
[13:18] <cfhowlett> deathofbox, and do not use your administrative account for daily use.
[13:19] <deathofbox> cfhowlett: Gotcha. I'll create a non-administrative account then.
[13:19] <iceroot> deathofbox: but on GNU/Linux there is no reason to be afraid. its always good to be carefully and to ask if you have questions
[13:20] <deathofbox> iceroot: That's good to know. And yes, I agree that you can never be too careful.
[13:23] <Valorosu> hello guys

[13:29] <goshTummyHurts> nothing to see :D
[13:29] <goshTummyHurts> i see :]
[13:33] <BluesKaj> really quiet in the 'buntu chats today ...supposedly this is statistically the saddest day of the year in the Nothern Hemisphere... how's that for an uplifting statement ...now we can move on :)
[13:35] <fishcooker> is cron really essential service?
[13:36] <Pici> fishcooker: I'd consider it essential.
[13:37] <fishcooker> hmm so it automatically loaded from start Pici
[13:38] <Pici> fishcooker: its part of our most minimal disk image and yes, it starts at boot.
[13:39] <fishcooker> ok no offense pici, thanks for the info
[13:43] <hambone2> Am I on the Ubuntu channel yet?
[13:43] <iceroot> hambone2: yes
[13:43] <cfhowlett> hambone2, what's the problem
[13:43] <hambone2> oh, nice, not much chatting atm, confused me.
[13:44] <cfhowlett> hambone2, this is the support channel.  general chit chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:44] <BluesKaj> yeah ,real busy in here today
[13:45] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, must mean those *buntu systems are working right!
[13:46] <hambone2> I use Ubuntu on my own computer and like it very much. Thanks for the great experience, but... my dad's new computer came with Windows8 and it is messed up. I wanted to just put Ubuntu on it, but the new computer is like locked up or something with that new "secure boot" that is preinstalled on some Dell computers.
[13:46] <goshHates> everything written before a "but" is superfluous :D
[13:46] <cfhowlett> !uefi|hambone2,
[13:47] <FlowRiser> cfhowlett,  yes, same thing on my school computer ... O.o
[13:47] <FlowRiser> can't even boot of usb because of password, can't install from wubi ... i'm stuck using windows
[13:47]  * cfhowlett *wubi*  shudder ...
[13:48] <Ben64> they keep saying secure boot won't stop linux or anything, but so many people have problems with it
[13:49] <FlowRiser> why do a secure boot ? what was wrong with the las one ? >.<
[13:49] <BluesKaj> cfhowlett, flow no cdrom drive
[13:49] <BluesKaj> oops
[13:49] <ericshell> does anyone know how to add a window manager manually built to the list of available managers at the login screen of ubuntu 12? i cant remember, been a while
[13:49] <hambone2> So, here is my question: Is there a way to download an image file on my Ubuntu computer, burn that image to a DVD with Brasero and then use that DVD to start the UEFI computer? I'm confused because when I went to download Ubuntu for Windows it offered me a file with an .exe extention, which I don't think will work right as a booter.
[13:50] <ericshell> built e16 but cant get it to list at the login screen
[13:50] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, you?  I heard PXE is the method for a no drive option ... or USB
[13:50] <BluesKaj> I meant FlowRiser , no cdrom or usb
[13:50] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:50] <cfhowlett> hambone2, ubuntu for windows is wubi.  Not recommended except for testing ubuntu
[13:50] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, it has a password on bios and it's set to boot from the hdd first O.o
[13:51] <Ben64> FlowRiser: get rid of the password
[13:51] <FlowRiser> I know, but that would mean opening the case!
[13:51] <Ben64> yep
[13:52] <BluesKaj> what about boot sequence ..perhaps gparted on media can help ?
[13:52] <FlowRiser> i think those pcs are new or something, coul void their warranty ... Plus, i doubt the teacher won't notice me  opening the case.
[13:52] <maxagaz_> do you know a tool to convert a psd image to gimp xfc image (keeping all the elements of the image) ?
[13:52] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, i tried that ...
[13:53] <maxagaz_> I mean psd to xcf
[13:53] <FlowRiser> maxagaz_, yes, use gimp
[13:53] <cfhowlett> maxagaz_, gimp
[13:53] <hambone2> Is there a version of Ubuntu that comes with the "secure key" that lets Windows8 preloaded machines recognize it as an authentic OS?
[13:54] <somsip> !uefi | hambone2
[13:54] <cfhowlett> hambone2, quick and ez.  Install virtualbox in windows.  install ubuntu in virtual box
[13:55] <ericshell> does anyone know how to add a window manager manually built to the list of available managers at the login screen of ubuntu 12? i cant remember, been a while
[13:55] <BluesKaj> FlowRiser, what did you try ?
[13:56] <hambone2> Thank you cfhowlett, but the new Win8 machine won't even boot up at all. The Win8 OS is refusing to boot, plus I hated it anyway, but when I went to load up Ubuntu it wouldn't recognize the boot disk because or "secure boot." I will read the blue link from ubottu...
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> ericshell  this here shows how to remove them, guess it helps if you want to add some http://askubuntu.com/questions/81161/how-to-remove-session-entries-from-lightdm
[13:57] <cfhowlett> hambone2, can't help with windows.  ask ##microsoft or take that machine back to the store
[13:58] <ericshell> ty
[13:58] <Beifong> isn't there a option for wget to stop trying when a read error occurs
[13:58] <Beifong> I've checked all the options in --help
[13:59] <FlowRiser> BluesKaj, i tried booting of cd, usb, wubi, assisted boot, parting a partition and installing manually on that (didn't have enough permisiions to do that)
[13:59] <hambone2> @cfhowlett, yes, we will take the machine back to the store if we can't get Ubuntu loaded, but are trying to avoid that because we live way out in the country and the store is miles away. I think I see the solution on the ubottu link. It says download the 64 bit version on Ubuntu and it will be able to talk to the newfangled laptops.
[14:01] <njd001> I am looking for a way to convert my physical HDD into an image so i can wipe my corporate image install ubuntu and then boot my corporate image as a vm in ubuntu any suggestions ?
[14:01] <cfhowlett> njd001, dd or remastersys are tools to look into
[14:01] <blackangel> i get this message window:
[14:01] <blackangel> One or more tools required for installations cannot be found on the system.
[14:01] <blackangel> Install the required tool before installing the fglrx driver. Optionally, run the
[14:01] <blackangel> installer with --force option to instal without the tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable.
[14:01] <blackangel> Not recommend.
[14:01] <blackangel> See /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details.
[14:01] <FloodBot1> blackangel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:01] <blackangel> And inside that log it says:
[14:02] <blackangel> any one using 12.10 wit an ATI card?
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> njd001  start here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953738
[14:03] <njd001> well heres the thing the baseline image is a windows image on the SSD i just want to compress and delete it install ubuntu and bring it back as a vm on ubuntu.
[14:03] <njd001> remastersys looks like its *nix backup ?
[14:04] <hambone2> Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate you being here for us newbies. I am downloading the suggested version of Ubuntu from SourceForge now and I think it will work on my dad's computer. Bye for now.
[14:05] <cfhowlett> hambone2, SOURCEFORGE?  Why not download directly from ubuntu?   Good idea though, I don't like waiting 15 minutes for the image file to download, plus I can pay back by seeding when I find it.
[14:06] <njd001> i was pondering DD i'll go read but i assume DD would run from LiveCD boot and allow me to dump it to an external disk.
[14:06] <Pinkamena_D> my bad
[14:06] <cfhowlett> njd001, sounds like a plan
[14:07] <njd001> thanks guys!
[14:07] <cfhowlett> njd001, have fun, be safe
[14:07] <iceroot> Pinkamena_D: the mac is stored in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent- and it will be assigned to eth0 for example, if you change your mac you will get eth1
[14:07] <Pinkamena_D> like a log somewhere?
[14:07] <iceroot> Pinkamena_D: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[14:08]  * njd001 is a ubuntu convert :)
[14:09] <blackangel> i do not know if my question get out since i didnt use past bin so here it is XD  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1559445/
[14:09] <Pinkamena_D> thank you very much, its still in there!
[14:10] <iceroot> !ati | Pinkamena_D
[14:10] <iceroot> Pinkamena_D: sorry wrong nick
[14:10] <hambone2> Please tell me where the torrent links are for downloading ubuntu? All I keep getting are  links to the direct download.
[14:10] <iceroot> !ati | blackangel
[14:10] <iceroot> Pinkamena_D: and it will never delete there automaticly, you have to delete it by yourself if you dont wnat that mac anymore assigned to eth0 for example
[14:10] <iceroot> !torretns | hambone2
[14:10] <iceroot> !torrents | hambone2
[14:12] <hambone2> Thanks iceroot.
[14:19] <craigbass1976> I've got a fellow trying to connect to an ubuntu box from windows 7 using remote desktop (the windows app)  It works, but only as root.  What privs does root have that we don't that would cause this?
[14:20] <cfhowlett> craigbass1976, is he an admin? No?  Then he shouldn't be root!
[14:21] <blackangel> he said it works only when you are root
[14:21] <blackangel> XD
[14:22] <craigbass1976> He owns the business, he can do what he wants. :)  But he does see that he shouldn't be remoting in as root...
[14:23] <cfhowlett> craigbass1976, ah.  my mistake.

[14:34] <Ronalds_M> it's probably missing that python thingy and other things you pasted
[14:34] <Linux39> Hi All,
[14:34] <Linux39> im new to linux
[14:34] <Linux39> i have installed ubuntu server 12.10
[14:35] <Wiz_KeeD> well it should install the dependecies
[14:35] <jordanrain> How do I get folder shares to stick on reboot?
[14:35] <Wiz_KeeD> but it says there is some broken pacakge or whatnot
[14:35] <Wiz_KeeD> any idea what that is?
[14:35] <Linux39> may i know how to publish a html sites
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Linux39  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[14:35] <Linux39> ok thanks
[14:36] <Ronalds_M> new to linux, installs server os, great start
[14:36] <cfhowlett> Ronalds_M, agreed
[14:38] <soahccc> Isn't it stupid to disconnect ssh users when their key isn't recognized while allowing password authentication? I was curious why the connection always got disconnected, it refuses my offered key and then disconnects me
[14:43] <iceroot> soahccc: and the connection will refuse also when the password is missing/wrong
[14:43] <iceroot> soahccc: so what is the issue?
[14:45] <llutz> soahccc: allowing "PasswordAuthentication yes" is always stupid
[14:45] <Wiz_KeeD> help?
[14:46] <soahccc> iceroot: I was just interested, it is an external sftp but I was searching an hour for the cause. I could connect from a Windows machine but all my *nix systems were failing unless I discovered it is the offered key
[14:46] <soahccc> s/unless/until
[14:47] <Makdaam> hello
[14:48] <jhutchins> soahccc: Given that the vast majority of internet connections are protected with passwords, your statement is unreasonably broad.
[14:48] <Makdaam> I'm stuck installing ubuntu server on a headless KVM server with "Undefined video mode number: 314"
[14:48] <jhutchins> soahccc: Sorry, it wasn't you it was llutz.
[14:49] <Makdaam> is there a working way to install ubuntu without any graphics (ie. only text console)
[14:49] <MonkeyDust> !text | Makdaam
[14:49] <ThinkT510> !mini | Makdaam
[14:49] <Makdaam> ThinkT510: mini has the same problem... oh I didn't mention I was booting alternate
[14:50] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[14:50] <jhutchins> Makdaam: In other words yes, you just have to do manual package selection and not select a desktop environment.
[14:50] <bab> orudie, good question
[14:50] <Makdaam> jhutchins: I can't even get to the installer terminal :) because the curses installer can't work without a graphics card
[14:51] <Makdaam> jhutchins: or at least something along the way of booting it
[14:51] <orudie> bab, thanks, well is there a way to change it ?
[14:52] <soahccc> llutz: I was glad in the first place that it is at least no FTP to get those (sensitive) data.  I'll work around it by getting a working vm image and cloning it
[14:57] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: have you added any ppas?
[14:57] <Wiz_KeeD> what are those?
[14:57] <llutz> Wiz_KeeD: sudo apt-get -f install
[14:57] <ThinkT510> !ppa | Wiz_KeeD
[14:57] <Wiz_KeeD> i remember adding a repository for some obscure software that i didn't need
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> i tried that llutz
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> it didn't work :(
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> i also tried instaling some softwarehttp://atdot.ch/scr/download/
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> sorry: http://atdot.ch/scr/download/
[14:58] <Wiz_KeeD> which crashed and the end of the install
[14:59] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: using software from outside the official repos is probably the cause for 99% of all the dependency problem i've seen here
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> I really need that package and i don't know why it's broken
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> Well i won't touch them again that's for sure but now there's the problem of solving everything and going back
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> :(
[14:59] <sls> in #als
[14:59] <sls> hello
[15:00] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: first step is to remove them
[15:00] <Wiz_KeeD> i did apt-get remove skype-call-recorder --purge
[15:00] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: not just the software but also the repositories
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> well this software that i've added now isn't from a repo
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> just downloaded and used deb
[15:01] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: then you can sudo apt-get update
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i remove that last repository which i forgot the name to :-s
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> thanks for helping out by the way, pretty desperate
[15:01] <helmut_> hi
[15:02] <iceroot> soahccc: when you are facing problems connectin with ssh, you should try ssh -v user@host to get a good debug-info about the reason
[15:06] <darkrusu> #join semarang
[15:07] <Wiz_KeeD> ThinkT510?
[15:08] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: i can't tell you how because i've never needed to do it myself, but at least you know what you need to do
[15:10] <w1k> hello, greetings from my atari800:)
[15:12] <deadmund> How do I use the dig command to look up a specific domain name at a specific dns server?  (For example, dig yahoo.com @<IP_ADDRESS>  is timing out, what am I doing wrong?)
[15:12] <MraAlbertina> w1k: wow from atary800 ... :o can you help me installing on my microwave (900 watts)?
[15:13] <leecy> Hi
[15:14] <leecy> I'm having a problem with USB input devices going through a KVM to Ubuntu
[15:14] <leecy> occasionally, Ubuntu will cease listening to the devices and won't resume listening until restarted
[15:16] <heywood> what are the best options for remote accessing an ubuntu box behind a firewall/NAT router from outside the network? is the current version of ssh and related tools considered to be secure? i have 12.04.1 LTS.
[15:16] <leecy> dmesg results shows a barrage of errors hub_port_status failed (err = -110)
[15:16] <deadmund> heywood: yes, ssh is very secure
[15:17] <leecy> I was able to get to dmesg because I also have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse set on the computer- this seems to happen with every distro I use
[15:19] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[15:19] <leecy> any idea why this can happen? I also have two Wintel boxes and a Mac connected to the same KVM, and they don't exhibit this behavior.
[15:19] <heywood> deadmund: ok, ssh gets me a root shell for basic admin tasks. if i want to do something fancier (tunneling a VNC connection through it, exporting a display, etc.), what else would i need to install? something like vncviewer?
[15:20] <deadmund> heywood: You should never ssh as root or allow the root user to ssh.  YOu should ssh as yourself (a normal user) and then use sudo or su if you need to.
[15:20] <deadmund> heywood: To vnc you need to install vncviewer :P  I can find a guide if you need more specifics.  BTW, vnc over the Internet is slow.
[15:21] <deadmund> heywood: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/sshvnc.html
[15:21] <deadmund> heywood: ssh -X (referred to as x forwarding) is more efficient
[15:22] <Wiz_KeeD> help! :(
[15:22] <heywood> deadmund: ah, ok. but i'm a little confused about ubuntu's users setup. right now the root password is not enabled (as per ubuntu default), but my one user account is labelled as administrative.
[15:22] <heywood> deadmund: so i can ssh into the box as myself, then sudo for admin stuff.
[15:23] <heywood> deadmund: i have a remote X server running here so ssh -X would work just fine.
[15:23] <deadmund> heywood: Yeah, your account is administrative meaning you can assume the identity of root (by using sudo).  Sudo users your own password to switch to the root user, thus there is not root password
[15:23] <deadmund> heywood: ssh as yourself, then use sudo, that is correct
[15:23] <deadmund> heywood: ssh -X is great :)
[15:23] <heywood> deadmund: so is it the case than an "administrative" user is just incloded in sudoers?
[15:24] <enbloc> when using ssh with X forwarding, if I run firefox on the remote machine, it appears to see if I have one running locally, and it then opens a tab in my local firefox, refusing to create a new instance on the remote machine (which may not have the same network visibility). I've tried to disable this, but my googlefu is weak, and I can't accurately and uniquely describe the problem in searchable terms.
[15:24] <phschwartz> What is the best channel to ask questions about deb packaging for ubuntu?
[15:24] <heywood> phschwartz: #ubuntu-packaging ?
[15:25] <deadmund> heywood: in ubuntu, yes
[15:25] <deadmund> enchilado: firefox --no-remote
[15:25] <enbloc> thanks deadmund
[15:26] <deadmund> enbloc: sure
[15:26] <Lofde_> I am using ubuntu, i have a hard drive that i took out of a windows 8 machine, it has all kinds of weird partitions an ESP 524mb fat, DIAGS 42 fat, Unknown 134mb, WINRETOOLS 524MB NTFS, an OS partition 491GB, and a PBR Image 7.8GB NTFS.. i did a "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=512" and wrote 0's to the entire drive, but i still cant 'format' the drive, when i try to ask for a password to authenticate can anyone help?
[15:27] <heywood> deadmund: ok. so since i have everything else set up, is it just a matter of starting sshd (manually, via init.d, etc.) on the ubuntu box then?
[15:27] <deadmund> heywood: If you installed openssh-server it will be started by default for you (already placed in init.d)
[15:28] <heywood> deadmund: ah, ok. i haven't (yet). do you know if the post-install scripts run by apt would start it?
[15:29] <deadmund> heywood: I don't know if it starts after install...
[15:29] <deadmund> heywood: you can start it: sudo service sshd start
[15:29] <bono> Lofde_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd even zeroes the partition table; you need a new one. I recommend gparted
[15:30] <BluesKaj> Lofde_, this might help , but since you've aready tried write 0s to drive , dunno if it will work , http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system
[15:30] <heywood> deadmund: that's easy enough. last thing: my router can do port forwarding (though it's not set up right now). as i recall, ssh listens on port 22. is there any security benefit in forwarding some high-numbered port from the WAN to 22 on the LAN side?
[15:30] <Lofde_> these uefi pc's are making me so mad... i had to change all kinds of bios settings to install windows 7 to that computer and replace the drive to get it to function... no one likes windows 8 :/
[15:31] <goshHates> Lofde_ thats why they force us to use that shit :]
[15:31] <goshHates> no1 would use win8 if it wasnt such a pain in the ass to change the os =D
[15:31] <goshHates> but its even more cruel to use win8, so its worth the time changing :>
[15:32] <deadmund> heywood: I'm glad you brought that up! ! :)
[15:32] <BluesKaj> lof  it's not windows 8 itself , it MS trying to become more proprietary and prevent , or making it a PITA to install other OSs in guise of security features
[15:32] <BluesKaj> Lofde_,^'
[15:33] <Lofde_> **f*cking windows 8.... get bill gates in here**
[15:33] <deadmund> heywood: generally, using a non-standard port is rather effective at hiding from script kiddies.  However, this is security through obscurity.  Basically you're not hiding in a better place, just a different place.  So... yeah.  What's better is to use some of the automated systems that automatically block brute force attempts by watching logs and editing a blocklist.
[15:33] <hje841> any one got an idea as to why /dev/ttyUSB0 gives 'resource temporarily unavailable' in my own code (C++) when it's run on a 12.04 in a vm on Win7? ( I know)
[15:33] <deadmund> heywood: like this
[15:33] <deadmund> http://www.sshguard.net/
[15:33] <BluesKaj> Lofde_, Bill gates is retired , blame Ray Ozzie
[15:34] <heywood> deadmund: main issue for me is that i just left the place where the ubuntu box is, and am now far away for a while :(
[15:34] <heywood> unfortunately i didn't have time to set up secure remote access before i left
[15:34] <deadmund> heywood: You generally can't configure the router from outside the lan
[15:34] <Pici> heywood, deadmund: fail2ban is a popular tool for preventing login attempts.
[15:34] <heywood> so i have to walk a (very non-technical) person through those steps.
[15:34] <Pici> !info fail2ban
[15:34] <deadmund> Pici: thanks :)
[15:35] <Astradeus> ubuntu-precise: how can i find the package which created a user/group? (ssl-cert or scanner for example)
[15:35] <deadmund> heywood: yes, have fun!  Easiest thing might be to ssh in, shut off ssh and then go there yourself when you get a chance
[15:35] <Wiz_KeeD> Can someone please help me remove repositories form 12.04? :(
[15:36] <Wiz_KeeD> i tried editing the source.list and i see no extra repository there maybe i missed something :(
[15:36] <heywood> deadmund: i will certainly do that when i'm there next. but i need to do some admin in the meantime, so stopping sshd altogether won't work.
[15:36] <heywood> i'll try sshguard and fail2ban, as you suggested.
[15:37] <deadmund> heywood: If it's short term there is very low chance the brute force attacks will work.  Especially if you have an ever remotely good password
[15:37] <soahccc> How can I prevent ssh from sending my key? I found two settings but they are v1 specific :/
[15:37] <heywood> and i have LAN-side config disabled on the router, so i'll need to get that fixed via "meatspace VNC" (i.e. asking the non-techie person over the phone to type specific things at the keyboard)
[15:38] <heywood> deadmund: password is reasonably safe behind the firewall, but if i'm going to expose it to the big bad Intarwebs i'll feel safer with a much longer one
[15:38] <deadmund> heywood: yeah, well... sounds like you need to instruct that meat-bag
[15:38] <heywood> (not schneier's "epic passpoem," but something similar)
[15:39] <wjtaylor_> Does anyone else have trouble clicking on icons in nautilus? It works in list view, but not with icons.
[15:39] <Lofde_> i can understand them using uefi , but they've made this hard drive some how password encrypted where changes to it cant be made :/.. the user didnt set any special hard drive password to it.. gparted is giving me an error when trying to change the partition table..
[15:39] <heywood> deadmund: errr... that "meat-bag" is my dad :o
[15:40] <deadmund> heywood: haha, didn't mean to offend!
[15:40] <heywood> deadmund: no worries. no offence taken. :)
[15:42] <CreativeEmbassy> first time install, I'm taken directly to gnu grub version 1.99-21ubuntu3
[15:42] <CreativeEmbassy> how do I get into ubuntu?
[15:42] <Wiz_KeeD> can anyone help on the broken package issue?
[15:46] <Pici> Wiz_KeeD: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  I havent followed, try sudo apt-get -f install // also check if you do not have a mix of i386 and amd64 packages
[15:46] <BluesKaj> Lofde_, my understanding is the partitioning has to be done insude w8 then the page i p[osted has instructions how to work around the uefi and get to the bios (most) machines still have it but it's hidden , then you can setup the boot sequence etc
[15:47] <Wiz_KeeD> MonkeyDust, thank you for helping out i tried the first i don't know about the seonc thing you said
[15:48] <Wiz_KeeD> do what in the Pici?
[15:48] <Pici> Wiz_KeeD: You said you couldn't locate the sources.list for the extra repository.  The files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ get sourced for entries, so you might find the file you're looking for in there.
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  type sudo apt-get update|pastebinit and paste the url here
[15:48] <Lofde_> i took the drive out.. was going to "write over it" with a windows 7 image i have using acronis 2011, when acronis wouldnt see the drive then i had to quickly just take a spare sata drive , write the image to it, then it wouldnt boot in the pc... then i had to go into the bios , disable uefi , set it to legacy boot, and the windows 7 fired up on the new drive, this old hard drive though i would like to use it in some aspect but trying to get t
[15:48] <Lofde_> he drive usable now is becoming the big issue
[15:49] <Wiz_KeeD> one seccond MonkeyDust
[15:50] <Wiz_KeeD> http://pastie.org/5824860
[15:50] <Wiz_KeeD> this all started because of some broken packages MonkeyDust :(
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  are you using PPAs ?
[15:52] <Wiz_KeeD> I think i've added one when i tried to add some software to browse my android phone
[15:52] <Wiz_KeeD> which can only be placed in media transfer shit something
[15:52] <Wiz_KeeD> and i added a repo then but i forgot it's name
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  i guess that PPA is the culprit
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> that's why i wanted to remove it, how can i remove it? :(
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> !ppa-purge
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> that's just it, repository-name
[15:54] <Wiz_KeeD> i don't know it :(
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  or system settings, sources
[15:54] <Wiz_KeeD> no such thing as sources in system settings
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  it's software sources
[15:55] <Lofde_> success, i dont know how but after writing all 0's to the entire disk, using gparted and trying over and over to 'write a new partition table to it' it would keep erroring out, telling me it was unsuccessfully but slowly started deleting one partition at a time and finally i could write a proper partition table and then format the drive :)
[15:56] <Wiz_KeeD> so how do i find out the package name?
[15:56] <Wiz_KeeD> isn't there like a reset command?
[15:56] <MichaelP> On my netbook i have 23 inch HD tv hooked up to hdmi... How do i make grub and plymounth boot show on both screens like it does on the livecd ?
[15:58] <Wiz_KeeD> MonkeyDust, i have history of changes installs and whatnot
[15:58] <Wiz_KeeD> can that help?
[15:59] <Wiz_KeeD> just the names of the packages and not the repositories
[16:00] <BluesKaj> Lofde_, cool , glad to hear that
[16:00] <Freeaq> Hi. I bought a usb wlan dongle, but when I plug it in, networkmanager doesn't pick it up. lsusb shows it just fine though. How can I fix my wifi?
[16:00] <kunaishuriken> You probably don't have the driver for it
[16:00] <Freeaq> os: 12.04 lts
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  i think the "Translation" thing is what you have to remove
[16:01] <Wiz_KeeD> why would you say that?
[16:02] <Wiz_KeeD> what do you think about this MonkeyDust http://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> Wiz_KeeD  guess you can try that
[16:06] <MichaelP> On my netbook i have 23 inch HD tv hooked up to hdmi... How do i make grub and plymounth boot show on both screens like it does on the livecd ?

[16:27] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[16:30] <silvericy> Hello! i am trying to download unity webplayer to linux
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> silvericy  that's great, but did you have a question?
[16:31] <silvericy> How do i download unity webplayer to linux OS4?
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> silvericy  what's linux OS4 ?
[16:31] <silvericy> it is a lightweight version of linux
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> silvericy  this is the ubuntu support channel, better ask in the OS4 channel, then
[16:32] <Pici> silvericy: This channel is for Ubuntu support only.  Use ##linux or their channel for support please.
[16:32] <eSa|> how do I set gnome-terminal title from command-line inside a running instance in xfce window manager?

[16:49] <yak_king> today's noob project... installing printer! hehe
[16:51] <ehnn> has anybody ever had an issue on ubuntu where emails were CC'd to everybody in their address book with a single URL in them?
[16:51] <ehnn> this is thunderbird 17.0.2 on quantal
[16:51] <xenmax> MonkeyDust:  no, i just need to run windows xp sometimes
[16:52] <ehnn> links all end with yahool2.php but vary otherwise hxxp://www.daume-bauunternehmen.de/images/stories/yahool2.php
[16:53] <quick-> whois quick-
[16:53] <yak_king> sorry ehnn I'm complete noob haven't even used thunderbird yet
[16:53] <h00k> ehnn: It sounds like your mail account is compromised
[16:53] <ehnn> as far as I can tell there isn't any malicious code on the pages of those links
[16:53] <h00k> ehnn: It wouldn't be a thunderbird issue, but it sounds like someone figured out your password and is using it to spam
[16:53] <ehnn> this happened at midnight last night
[16:54] <h00k> ehnn: whos
[16:54] <ehnn> h00k: which password?
[16:54] <Pici> ehnn: is this a gmail account?
[16:54] <h00k> ehnn: who'se the mail provider you have set up? (hotmail, gmail, etc)
[16:54] <h00k> ehnn: your email account password
[16:54] <ehnn> the sent emails are on the local client
[16:54] <wjtaylor_> Bug? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1560076/
[16:55] <h00k> ehnn: thunderbird will sync folders (sent, outbox, etc), so it could have been done from a web interface with whoever your provider is, and thunderbird synch'd the sent folder.
[16:55] <h00k> ehnn: who is your email provider
[16:55] <ehnn> gmail
[16:55] <h00k> ehnn: I recommend changing your gmail/google password
[16:55] <ehnn> true, her pass could suck less
[16:56] <ehnn> I guess that must be it
[16:56] <h00k> ehnn: it is synching the 'sent' folder, someone just used your account to send a bunch of spam to your contacts :(
[16:56] <ehnn> I've looked everywhere on the local system for traces of anything malicious
[16:56] <ehnn> chkrootkit, clamav...
[16:56] <Pici> ehnn: It probably wasn't done from your local machine.
[16:57] <guest12312> whois quick-
[16:57] <ehnn> lol, she doesn't want to change her password
[16:57] <Pici> ehnn: If you login to gmail web, click the details button on the lower right hand side.
[16:57] <ehnn> face-palm
[16:58] <Gnea> !ppa
[16:58] <h00k> ehnn: tell her it's like someone having the keys to her house. It's time to change the lock.

[16:59] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[16:59] <ehnn> h00k: yea, I guess I just wanted a second opinion, thanks guys/gals
[17:00] <ehnn> I'll make her change her pass and hope for the best
[17:01] <marcreichelt> Hi!
[17:01] <yak_king> howdy marcreichelt
[17:01] <orudie> i installed dconf-editor, and trying to get to org/gnome/shell/overrides to find the option called workspaces-only-on-primary , but the path org/gnome/shell/ does not exist. i can only get ti /org/gnome in dconf-editor
[17:02] <marcreichelt> I have an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit server installed. I *need* sun-java6-jdk, that's why I installed it via the Flexion script as described on http://www.gaggl.com/2012/04/installing-java6-jdk-on-ubuntu-12-04/
[17:02] <marcreichelt> But now when I want to install tomcat or jenkins APT says it will install the openjdk-6, which I want to prevent
[17:03] <marcreichelt> is there any good way to install Java-based applications from APT without installing the openjdk?
[17:04] <ouyes> I have windows7 64bits on my laptop, and I installed ubuntu 12.04 32bits via usb drive, but I find that, the grub was installed to my usb drive, once I remove the usb drive, there is no boot option to ubuntu,(UEFI).how can make dual boot possible without my usb drive?
[17:04] <quick-> marcreichelt:  http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/01/sun-java-6-now-can-be-installed-on.html
[17:05] <marcreichelt> quick-, that's not possible any more (as you can read in the comments on the page you linked)
[17:08] <snkcld1> can anyone confirm that if i use mget or get via FTP, that it will _not_ delete the remote file?

[17:17] <zero_coder> i am sorry
[17:18] <yak_king> lol sorry jrl the red threw me off... thought that was a PM
[17:18] <barraponto> I'm trying to install Ubuntu without uninstalling Windows, it says I can allocate some room for Ubuntu just by sliding a divider
[17:18] <yak_king> ubuntu 12.04LTS on this computer 12.10 on a laptop
[17:18] <barraponto> but it doesn't identify which of the partitions will be used for ubuntu :/
[17:19] <jr1> Im a fan of 12.04 lts
[17:19] <yak_king> so am I so far... couldn't get 12.10 installed right on this antiquated desktop of mine
[17:19] <yak_king> went back to 12.04.... no trouble! well little trouble... somehow installed it back to the flash drive I was coming off of
[17:20] <jr1> 12.10 has ads in the dash
[17:20] <yak_king> wouldn't boot from the computer anyway... but good ole google helped me get through it
[17:20] <yak_king> oh that would be weird!...
[17:20] <maverick710> hi people
[17:20] <yak_king> barely got it installed on the laptop then had some hardware issues (non linux related) so haven't really had a chance to play with it there much
[17:21] <jr1> are you booting from disk or usb for install
[17:21] <yak_king> might end up putting it back to 12.04 if that's the case...
[17:21] <yak_king> did both... booted from usb to make sure it would work then followed install program from the desktop there and went through install
[17:22] <yak_king> after restart it tried to boot from hard drive and brought up blank screen with cursor... crtl alt f1 did nothing...
[17:22] <jr1> sounds like a boot loader problem
[17:23] <raincomputers> Can anyone give me a hand getting my sound to work? Lspci is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1560168/
[17:23] <yak_king> good ole windows three finger solute restarted computer and booted from USB but it was the regular version not the one that normally boots from usb... don't remember exactlyl what I did but followed some google advice to remove usb from the list for some sort of secondary boot
[17:23] <yak_king> then installed all the updated.... pretty well got WELL above my head and now no trouble LOL
[17:23] <khaos> hi is there any way to add to all program icons an option to run under optirun?
[17:24] <yak_king> trying to install printer today... not much luck so far
[17:24] <jr1> try other distros some distros just dont work on some machines
[17:25] <vith> jr1, yak_king: this will take care of the ads in search on 12.10: sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[17:25] <raincomputers> Can anyone give me a hand getting my sound to work? Lspci is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1560168/
[17:26] <yak_king> well I had actually started with 12.04lts on this machine using same method with no trouble so knew it would work. like I said THAT problem is fixed now though
[17:26] <yak_king> don't know enough about Linux to fix it again if I have that problem on a future install LOL but is working ok
[17:26] <hilo> What's the difference between system groups and groups a
[17:26] <yak_king> thankyou with!! good stuff
[17:28] <khaos> hi is there any way to add to all program icons an option to run under optirun?
[17:28] <ouyes> khaos, yes, do it one by one on the command line
[17:29] <khaos> ouyes,  i want to add an option in all applications in unity is there a way or a tool to customize it in menus? not in terminal; thanks
[17:29] <ouyes> khaos, afaik, there is none
[17:29] <ouyes> khaos, I have to reboot, bye
[17:29] <yak_king> sorry raincomputers I am a total Linux noob. Wish I could help you

[17:31] <Ronalds_M> unity is customizable by unsettings, ubuntu tweak and some others outes
[17:31] <Ronalds_M> ouyes *
[17:31] <yak_king> a little nerve racking to look on your screen and see "MyUbuntu quit" hehe
[17:31] <Ronalds_M> ccsm is another tool, but it's dangerous and can break unity
[17:32] <PrimeCl0ver> khaos;  you need to make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/
[17:32] <PrimeCl0ver> or
[17:32] <PrimeCl0ver> you can put on in ~/.local/share/applications
[17:33] <PrimeCl0ver> that should update the Unity Application lenses with any customer programs you add

[17:35] <moondoggy> Hi there.  Can someone tell me the name of the service that pops up notifications on the desktop?

[17:35] <raincomputers> Just by opening alsamixer my audio started working...
[17:35] <raincomputers> Lol.
[17:35] <raincomputers> Why didn't I think of that duhhhh
[17:36] <hamed> didn't think see you here moondoggy
[17:37] <moondoggy> Hi, hamed .
[17:37] <moondoggy> I see a few of us on computer channels.
[17:37] <moondoggy> Thanks, ubottu .

[17:40] <tyler_d> I'm running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and my sound card is missing, as a result I have no sound icon in the unity panel, however the sound does work and is controlable from alsamixer, any help restoring this would be appreciated?
[17:43] <yak_king> is there a more efficient way in terminal to see if a program is installed than apt-get install PROGRAMNAME
[17:43] <yak_king> and checking that way?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> tyler_d  sounds like sound card is integrated in your motherboard
[17:43] <llutz> yak_king: apt-cache policy packagename
[17:44] <kostkon> tyler_d, try:  rm -rf ~/.pulse   then logout and login again
[17:44] <tyler_d> MonkeyDust: it is indeed, laptop computer
[17:44] <yak_king> thanks ilutz will try
[17:45] <tyler_d> kostkon: did a cp -avi first, but removed, will log out and in in a few here
[17:45] <tyler_d> kostkon: ty for the quick response
[17:46] <yak_king> cool ilutz... thanks!
[17:47] <chiggins> If I install ruby1.9 for the entire system, and a user uses RVM, would there be a conflict that breaks things, or would the user just default to using RVM
[17:47] <savio> chiggins, RVM is used to avoid conflict don't worry
[17:48] <chiggins> savio: Sweet deal, thanks. And I was about to ask that in #metasploit, I thought I recognized your name haha.
[17:48] <savio> chiggins, :)
[17:49] <chiggins> cheers. see ya on the other side :)
[17:51] <savio> chiggins, sure. but on which side?

[18:00] <freakynl> hi, does ubuntu have alternate packages for things like python etc? As in no-X versions? Need to configure LIO on an ubuntu server that's installed on a 2G stick. The entire OS doesn't even consume 900M now.
[18:00] <JuJuBee> I am new to unity.   I don't have that much space free :/
[18:01] <Pici> freakynl: try running apt-get with the "--no-install-recommends" argument
[18:03] <freakynl> Pici: holy crap - from 1.2G to 8M that's just sick.
[18:03] <freakynl> Pici: Thanks :)
[18:03] <Pici> freakynl: np :)
[18:12] <drwrr> hi! i'm having trouble getting a (supposedly compatible) usb audio device to work, snd-usb-audio says "failed with error -5" in dmesg. could someone help me troubleshoot this please?

[18:12] <Pici> GreenGuy: Try ##linux
[18:15] <PowerTux> anyone knows why is too slow to open firefox/thunderbird print dialog ? its about 30 seconds
[18:15] <rhin0> where would the log of a kernel panic be?  -- never had one before
[18:15] <rhin0> does it file its crisis to disk anywhere?
[18:16] <nightlyowl> Hello, I want to install LXDE, but I don't want all those other lubuntu-desktop packages...
[18:17] <llutz> !info lxde | nightlyowl   check this
[18:18] <nightlyowl> Thank you
[18:18] <Soelen> hello, quick question, is it possible to create a local network nameserver?
[18:18] <freakynl> rhin0: usually not iirc, if there's a panic - how would you be sure the filesystem / disk drivers aren't f*ed up and will screw your data? If you google it there's quite some info on it tho' :)
[18:19] <Soelen> like when I'm browsing with firefox http://somethingsomething, it leads to my ubuntu server in the next room
[18:19] <rhin0> should have taken a photo of the screen or something?  I am backing away from xubuntu 12.10... not using it any more
[18:19] <freakynl> Soelen: you have a search domain with a wildcard - it's your dns :)
[18:20] <rhin0> I understand kernel panic won't do much after panic ie, tidy up, file debug message to disk
[18:20] <rhin0> is a brain seizure
[18:20] <Soelen> freakynl: sorry but I dont understand heh
[18:20] <freakynl> Soelen: pastebin /etc/resolv.conf please
[18:21] <Soelen> freakynl: http://pastebin.com/HVGAsV0A
[18:21] <jordanrain> So I followed a tutorial to change my login screen wallpaper, and now I just get a blank screen and can't do anything :/ Anyway of repairing this besides reinstalling?
[18:22] <freakynl> Soelen: ok, so when you go to say http://whatever whatever can not be resolved (in this case by definition as whatever is not a fqdn, whatever.com would but but if that does not resolve the same applies)
[18:23] <freakynl> so your dns client adds the search domain, fritz.box in this case, making the request whatever.fritz.box
[18:23] <freakynl> your router (a fritz box apparently :)) has a dns file stating *.fritz.box points to that IP
[18:23] <jordanrain> I followed this tutorial to change my login screen wallpaper, and now I have no display at all: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/10/change-ubuntu-12-10-login-screen-background/
[18:24] <jordanrain> Anyone know about what I can do to fix it :/
[18:24] <Soelen> freakynl: in other words it is only possible by creating a subdomain for fritz.box like whatever.fritz.box
[18:25] <freakynl> so there's a bunch of things you can do, remove the search domain, use another dns server, change the DNS server on the fritzbox if that's possible. Any of them can solve the issue, the middle one alone doesn't please people though as your box will regularly send requests for something.fritz.box to an external DNS server then who doesn't know what to do with it
[18:26] <Ian_Corne> Greetings
[18:26] <freakynl> Soelen: Oh, I misread, thought you had the issue that http://notarealdomain went to that box, but yes, you can set up a dns server that responds with whatever IP on whatever request you send it
[18:26] <Ian_Corne> anyone managed to get HP Scanjet 5530 working?
[18:26] <freakynl> you actually want that issue haha, but yes you can. A lot of ISPs use that kind of thing for the first time setup of their modems for example
[18:28] <Soelen> freakynl: superb, then one last question, with what keywords do I need search in google to find further readings? I didnt find helpful stuff at the first place which is why I tried to ask here at #ubuntu
[18:28] <rdgadwe> how i can set account in thunderbird
[18:29] <drwrr> Soelen, http://freetz.org/wiki/help/fritz_faq
[18:29] <freakynl> Soelen: dns wildcard zone should help
[18:29] <freakynl> Soelen: you will need to run your own dns
[18:31] <freakynl> Soelen: alternatively - if you want all http/https requests to always go to some other url you might set up a proxy server and force that into all browsers as well. I personally don't have a preference, but if you feel more comfortable with one than the other ;). Proxy will need to be setup on client (although you could use auto config or something) DNS server (and search domain) can be pushed with DHCP (if they override the DNS to <IP_ADDRESS> for examp
[18:34] <Soelen> freakynl: about the site which you gave me, I guess for all 3 possible solutions I need to connect with my fritzbox via telnet to do this
[18:34] <Soelen> and thanks buddy, I didnt thought about proxy yet
[18:34] <freakynl> Soelen: squid is pretty nice and I'm lacking a lot of context (as in what you want to achieve, why, etc.) :)
[18:35] <Dizzle> i am trying to use handbrake and i run the command but i get "rror mp4 muxer disabled" anyone know how i would "enable" it in ubuntu?
[18:35] <Dizzle> error*
[18:37] <jackbrown> If I use a main proxy into my configuration then i connect to a VPN, the VPN what will see? My proxy IP or my Machine IP ?
[18:39] <Kion1> can someone help me with the command to install the latest versin of skype on 10.04
[18:41] <kostkon> Kion1, just go and download it from the skype website
[18:41] <Soelen> Kion1: didnt ran the support for 10.04 out?
[18:42] <kostkon> Soelen, not yet
[18:42] <Kion1> Thanks guys
[18:42] <auronandace> Soelen: 10.04 desktop support ends april
[18:44] <freakynl> Soelen: 10.04 desktop - maybe, but 10.04 server is a LTS release (5 years)
[18:44] <freakynl> !LTS
[18:44] <freakynl> Soelen: desktop in april thus :)
[18:45] <Soelen> oh ok good to know, thanks guys heh, good to know about ubuntu server and those 5 years
[18:48] <xj54y> Hey, I was curious as to how I could get both my 10/100/1000 NIC and WLAN NIC to become managed with network-manager (and respectively, nm-applet). Right now, neither one can be managed as they're not available it appear. However, they're manageable via command line (e.g., iwconfig/wpa_cli/ifconfig)
[18:49] <daftykins> xj54y: if you've got any manual config in /etc/network/interfaces that will stop NM working
[18:51] <xj54y> daftykins, I had thought the same thing, which leads me to my next question. Ever since I've installed ubuntu, upon boot, the boot takes SO LONG as ubuntu is trying to figure the networking thing about, then gives it another 60 seconds... How could I go about removing that from my init script? (Management of all services actually per run level wouldn't hurt to know either)
[18:53] <daftykins> xj54y: afaik ubuntu doesn't use run levels
[18:53] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[18:53] <daftykins> xj54y: are you sure it's not some PXE boot rubbish going on that's holding it up?
[18:53] <orudie> i installed dconf-editor, and trying to get to org/gnome/shell/overrides to find the option called workspaces-only-on-primary , but the path org/gnome/shell/ does not exist. i can only get ti /org/gnome in dconf-editor
[18:53] <Nitin> Hello
[18:53] <daftykins> orudie: install 'ccsm' and have a fiddle
[18:54] <Nitin> any one who can give answer of my query
[18:54] <Nitin> ?
[18:54] <orudie> daftykins, its german and not free ? lol
[18:54] <daftykins> orudie: german 0o
[18:54] <Nitin> How can I join India
[18:54] <Nitin> ?
[18:54] <daftykins> hang on i might have memory failed
[18:54] <xj54y> daftykins, I actually no idea what it is since there's a huge lack of verbosity upon ubuntu's bootup.
[18:55] <daftykins> xj54y: check logs
[18:55] <orudie> daftykins, it says (Deutsch) in ubuntu software center
[18:55] <xj54y> daftykins, specificity would be helpful.
[18:55] <OerHeks> !india
[18:55] <jackbrown> Why if I set a General Proxy into my proxy settings doesn't work ?  (this proxy works 100% into the browser)

[18:57] <daftykins> orudie: 12.10 ja?

[18:57] <daftykins> orudie: actually nm i don't have a clue what's going on. i'm not german either, please stop saying that it's boring me immensely
[18:58] <xj54y> daftykins, you're telling me to look for apples on an orange tree... What should I look for, why and would finding something related to what I'm looking for (or exactly) provide useful information to help you assist me with my current issue (for the sake of clarity)..?
[18:58] <daftykins> xj54y: nevermind i can't be bothered to hold your hand right now sorry.
[18:58] <xj54y> daftykins, Sorry, I don''t understand what you're saying.
[18:59] <blkadder> Wait there is hand-holding available?
[18:59] <orudie> daftykins, thanks for your help
[19:00] <xj54y> daftykins, should I be looking for a lack of carriers in logs?
[19:01] <zyngawo> Can anyone help with this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/245911/wifi-not-working-after-reboot
[19:02] <nuxninja> replug it in and see
[19:02] <xj54y> daftykins, also, looking through dmesg, the mass majority of information regarding hardware specifically doesn't shed ANY light on any of the services being started or anything of the like. May be the wrong place to look for what you've mentioned.
[19:03] <zyngawow> replug it?
[19:03] <zyngawow> A PCI device?
[19:03] <zyngawow> Soldered to the Mobo? No, thank you
[19:03] <daftykins> xj54y: look up that 'bootchart' thing. it'll show you what's taking time
[19:03] <Clovertown> !de
[19:04] <xj54y> daftykins, that 'bootchart' thing? Are you not sure?
[19:05] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?
[19:05] <tyler_d> orudie: it is only going one over, appears to be two as it's 2 monitors wide
[19:06] <tyler_d> orudie: the answer, is not that I'm aware of
[19:06] <daftykins> xj54y: no i know, but i'm not going to google for you
[19:07] <orudie> tyler_d, heh ) well, it detects the laptop monitor and a Dell external monitor.
[19:07] <xj54y> daftykins, oh, I wasn't inferring any such suggestion. I wasn't sure if you wanted me to google something you weren't sure about.
[19:08] <xj54y> daftykins, sorry about that. It's hard to understand you because you're not very clear in communicating. Thank you for you help! :-)
[19:08] <daftykins> xj54y: that's because i can't be bothered now =/ you seem to want too much
[19:09] <daze> anybody got Skype mono icons for Unity? I've got skype indicator working, but it uses colored icons and it seems there's no way (?) to override that, because those icons come from the app itself and not from a file. Anybody familiar with this?
[19:09] <tripelb> i need help with partitioning. i read the web pages in askubuntu. i have 4 partitions ext, swap types. Also 1G RAM.  Now i jnow i nwed a 2G swap and the rest / mount point
[19:11] <xj54y> daftykins, Err.. I was under the impression that you had intention to help me resolve my issue due to the nature of your response. To what level you can at all provide assistance is completely unpredictable on my end as I haven't the necessity or ability to judge your aptitude, quality of service, or any of measure of competence with respect to the partial solutions you have provided.
[19:11] <tripelb>  is that correct? Web says ti make empty by resizing but 0 us too small says the partitioner. Please guide me. Thanks
[19:11] <daftykins> xj54y: bye then
[19:11] <tripelb> i need help with partitioning. i read the web pages in askubuntu. i have 4 partitions ext, swap types. Also 1G RAM.  Now i jnow i nwed a 2G swap and the rest / mount point
[19:11] <xj54y> daftykins, it's probably logical to not attempt to help anyone if you have no time. It leaves the individual really confused most of the time.
[19:12] <antonio__> halooooo
[19:12] <daftykins> xj54y: it wasn't the time element, it's that you're being particularly awkward. now stop messaging me please
[19:12] <xj54y> daftykins, I was pointed to this method of communication by canonical themselves. Are you not at all associated with canonical?
[19:13] <orudie> hi

[19:23] <orudie> Hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04 with two monitors. When I switch between desktop workspaces (with "ctrl+alt left, right), it shifts two desktop spaces left or right. Is there a way to change it so that it shifts only one workspace, instead of two ?

[19:26] <daze> can I change indicator applet positions in the unity panel?
[19:26] <andre450> hey everyone
[19:27] <hamed> d
[19:27] <andre450> super happy with switching to ubuntu :)
[19:27] <Tr3v012__> ?
[19:28] <thoonai> hey
[19:28] <hamed> i have a problem with booting , "low garphics mode" warning comes and after that ubuntu doesn't start
[19:29] <trism> daze: not without recompiling
[19:29] <thoonai> im searching a good curses based partitioning programm
[19:29] <MraAlbertina> hello. what's the best way to achieve a private grid computing system in order to run a ubuntu server environment?
[19:29] <Tr3v012__> lol
[19:30] <daze> trism: if you're refering to the indicator applet order, there seems to be ordering-override.key file that might just do the trick. I'm trying it out :)
[19:30] <MonkeyDust> MraAlbertina  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[19:30] <Tr3v012__> anyone else running Bt5?
[19:30] <MraAlbertina> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu Desktop, if that matters
[19:30] <MonkeyDust> Tr3v012__  type /joun #backtrack-linux, as it is not supported here
[19:31] <thoonai> MraAlbertina: what do you want to do?
[19:31] <MonkeyDust> Tr3v012__  type /join #backtrack-linux, as it is not supported here
[19:31] <MraAlbertina> thoonai: what i wrote :p
[19:31] <trism> daze: let me know if it works, though I wouldn't get your hopes up, I just looked at the code again and it still seems to be hardcoded (there were plans to add a gsettings key but never seemed to happen)
[19:31] <xentity1x> Hi, my package system is broken. When I try to run sudo apt-get install -f I get this error http://pastebin.com/tJk7FE2f. Anyone have advice?
[19:31] <Lededje> Hello
[19:31] <MonkeyDust> MraAlbertina  you said "server environment", hence my suggestion
[19:32] <thoonai> im searching a good curses based partitioning programm
[19:32] <Tr3v012__> why am i banned D:
[19:32] <MraAlbertina> MonkeyDust: doesn't matter :) with ubuntu, in general
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> Tr3v012__  maybe you just need to register your nick
[19:32] <Tr3v012__> :/
[19:32] <Pici> Tr3v012__: don't IRC as root
[19:32] <beowulf2> what language is ubuntu mostly written in?
[19:32] <Tr3v012__> yea about that...
[19:33] <MraAlbertina> beowulf2: check debian, kernels, packages
[19:33] <Tr3v012__> i just downloaded r3 and i was taking a look at it
[19:33] <thoonai> beowulf2: should be Assembler and C/C++ then a lot of bash scripts and perl
[19:34] <hamed> i have a problem with booting , "low garphics mode" warning comes and after that ubuntu doesn't start
[19:34] <Lededje> I have an issue with an apache2 server; whenever I use php I'm not able to access it from an external network. A cookie for anyone who can solve my problem :3
[19:34] <orudie> how can I modify a shortcut for start options for a certain application ?
[19:34] <Tr3v012__> and now am downloading mint
[19:34] <jrib> !lamp | Lededje
[19:34] <jrib> Lededje: follow the troubleshooting steps for that issue on the wiki page the bot linked
[19:35] <Lededje> Thanks jrib, I'll give it a go :)
[19:35] <orudie> I have a shortcut pinned and locked in my launcher. How can I change launch options ?
[19:35] <thoonai> im searching a good curses based partitioning programm
[19:35] <lifebird64> does anybody online have any experience with netatalk?
[19:36] <Tr3v012__> well gtg
[19:36] <lifebird64> I'm having issues with printers not showing up via bonjour/avahi
[19:40] <daze> trism: http://i.imgur.com/LdrUjYV.jpg it kinda works. Previously the weather indicator was between Exaile and Skype indicators and now I moved it after the messaging indicator. I need to get the applet names and maybe I'll be able to move it after the clock :)
[19:40] <trism> daze: interesting, which key is this?
[19:41] <daze> trism: well, you see the ~/.local/share/indicators/application/ordering-override.keyfile open. That's all I did.
[19:43] <trism> daze: ahh interesting, I don't have that file, but it seems you can move appindicators anyway then...won't work for the clock though
[19:43] <daze> yeah, I created that file manually
[19:43] <daze> and the corresponding folder
[19:44] <daze> I'm reading http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/how-to-change-application-indicators.html
[19:44] <trism> daze: nifty, thanks for the link
[19:46] <daze> it seems the clock is stuck on the right no matter what, along with the sound and other system indicators
[19:46] <daze> but other than that, all 'additional' indicators can be ordered that way :]
[19:47] <trism> daze: yeah, that file is loaded by indicator-application, which handles all the appindicators, but full indicators will still be locked in place since they are hardcoded in the panel-service.c file
[19:47] <trism> daze: still, better than nothing. hopefully someone will add the gsettings key so all the indicators will be reorderable eventually
[19:48] <daze> yeah, unity could use some customization settings :)
[19:51] <daze> now if I could just force mono icons for skype..
[19:52] <wachpwnski> Where can I get a memstick image I can dd?
[19:52] <PrimeCl0ver> Has anyone else had the issue with icons and text being garbled after installing gnome-shell and using GDM instead of lightgdm?
[19:52] <wachpwnski> For some reason unetbootin doesn't boot for me
[19:56] <Lededje> jrib: Some people are able to connect to it no problem
[19:56] <jrib> Lededje: what happens when you try?
[19:56] <Lededje> jrib: Sorry, this is regarding the php issue.
[19:56] <jrib> Lededje: I remember :)
[19:57] <Lededje> jrib: It will either load fine, or timeout
[19:57] <jrib> Lededje: so it randomly times out?  And only for you?
[19:57] <Mary_> can some please help me.  I have installed Nagios on ubuntu 12 server via apt-get.  I got it running and it is working.  BUT i just found out i am using a older version of Nagios and it will update to the most recent version.  Any ideas?
[19:57] <Lededje> jrib: The access log says each request is http 200
[19:57] <Mary_> any suggestion would be great
[19:58] <Lededje> jrib: No, I'm able to connect every time. So is a remove server i'm trying. But at work and at friends houses it times out
[19:58] <Lededje> jrib: And only when php is on the page. It is really strange :?
[19:58] <jrib> Lededje: sounds strange, yes
[19:58] <xentity1x> Hi, my package system is broken. When I try to run sudo apt-get install -f I get this error http://pastebin.com/tJk7FE2f. Anyone have advice?
[19:59] <Lededje> jrib: I formatted my server with a fresh 12.04 lts and it didn't fix it :(
[19:59] <jrib> Lededje: does it happen with every php page?  Did you try making some simple hello world?
[20:00] <Lededje> jrib: I'm using <?php phpinfo(); ?> at the moment
[20:00] <Lededje> jrib: I'll try an echo
[20:00] <jrib> Lededje: that should be simple enough
[20:01] <Lededje> jrib: Strange.... echo "ping"; prints ping but php info doesnt work... some of the time?
[20:01] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_ remove it
[20:01] <Lededje> jrib: That has fixed it but it is still peculiar that the other info function didn't work
[20:02] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_ I would also look at the ppa's for Icinga instead of Nagios
[20:02] <jrib> Lededje: very
[20:02] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, https://wiki.icinga.org/display/howtos/Setting+up+Icinga+with+IDOUtils+on+Ubuntu
[20:02] <Lededje> jirb: Anyway, thank you for your time. Would you like me to send you a cookie?
[20:02] <PrimeCl0ver> Very very simple to follow and nearly impossible to mess up if you follow the instructions
[20:03] <Lededje> jirb: or I can stick a fiver in a charity box of your choosing
[20:03] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: thank you.  so you are saying icinga is better than nagios?
[20:03] <jrib> Lededje: it's ok, thanks :)
[20:03] <letozaf_> hi
[20:03] <Lededje> jrib: Very humble, many thanks
[20:04] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, I say neither is better then the other. Icinga is a fork of Nagios. I personally prefer Icinga's new interface and their PHP api. Nagios and Icinga can share plugins and the core engine of Icinga stays in line with Nagios's feature set.
[20:04] <Vorenii> hi guys
[20:04] <Vorenii> anyone willing to helpme with my sound issue?
[20:05] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, I hope that helps.
[20:05] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver:  i find nagios difficult due to lack of docs.  is Icinga have better docs ?
[20:05] <Mary_> but yes interface looks better?
[20:05] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, The documentation on Icinga is very good and they also have a really good IRC channel on FreeNode
[20:06] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: yes nagios irc is dead!
[20:06] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: have you used both ?
[20:06] <ironhalik> Do I need additional driver for my touchpad on thinkpad x220?
[20:06] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, I started 8 years ago on Nagios and about 3 years ago on Icinga.
[20:06] <ironhalik> I currently have just left click, and the touchpad will not support multitouch
[20:07] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, I personally suggest this combination. Icinga/PNP/Check_MK
[20:07] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: i wish i had asked before doing all this works! but glad you gave me get me hints
[20:07] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: i assume you do this all on ubuntu server? and it there good tutorial for Ubuntu?
[20:08] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, The configs you made for Nagios can be used in Icinga.
[20:08] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, Yes my Icinga servers are spread across 10 Ubuntu 12.04 servers.
[20:08] <F14> good evening
[20:08] <Mary_> PrimeCl0ver: thank you!
[20:08] <PrimeCl0ver> Mary_, No Problem.

[20:09] <F14> please
[20:09] <ncsquid22> press F14 on your keyboard
[20:11] <orudie> how can I modify a shortcut for start options for a certain application ?
[20:11] <Vorenii> If i download skype from skype.com it says wrong architecture i386, but which one do i need?
[20:12] <xangua> Vorenii: i just install skype from software center
[20:13] <wachpwnski> whats the difference between 12.10 and 12.04? Are there still all the packages 12.04 lts has?
[20:13] <ncsquid22> hi F14....here is how to do it.
[20:13] <ncsquid22> F14:  http://kalaharix.wordpress.com/gambas-3/gambas-3-compile-and-install/
[20:13] <k1l> !lts | wachpwnski
[20:13] <k1l> wachpwnski: that is the 12.04. its focused on stability
[20:14] <wachpwnski> So 12.10 just has features I might not need?
[20:14] <Vorenii> xangua, i dont see it in the software center
[20:14] <ttl-> is it possible to recover passwords for wireless networks from a home folder of a previous installation of 12.04?
[20:14] <k1l> wachpwnski: it got some new program versions that were released after 12,04
[20:15] <ncsquid22> ttl: I doubt it.
[20:16] <ncsquid22> ttl: you can try airmon-ng, airodump-ng, aircrack-ng etc...
[20:16] <ttl-> i know the login password for the user...
[20:16] <ttl-> are those passwords stored in some kind of keyring?
[20:16] <ncsquid22> ttl: the router?
