[17:04] <thisisgil> theadmin / eliahkagan okay - I'm trying to run this command every minute : echo 0|tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope - it fixes a ubuntu 12.04 32 / 64 bit wine library bork - is crontab the best place to do this?
[17:04] <Vlan> guys, i seriously have to understand why disabling advanced graphic effects to get VNC working properly needs to be that hard to do
[17:05] <theadmin> thisisgil: Make that "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope", and yes, put it in /etc/crontab
[17:06] <reisio> Vlan: there're some new VNC things that avoid that, even
[17:06] <reisio> Vlan: designed to work with accelerated
[17:06] <superzzt> EliahKagan:  Thanks for that, but I've seen these guides before, but their method doesn't seem to work.  I get the feeling that I am missing something.  A package perhaps.  I have samba and am able to browse the network in nautilus, but I can't seem to find the shared printer.
[17:06] <reisio> Vlan: but mostly I'd say the kind of people who need to remotely administer a computer would already know that
[17:07] <Vlan> reisio: could you please point me to a siple and working tutorial for a guy that has already headache?
[17:07] <strictland>  my problem: "error: hd0,1 out of disk." during boot, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008361/ and at the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986518
[17:07] <Vlan> reisio:yeah you're right but unfortunately i'm not really a linux guy
[17:07] <LordOfTime> strictland:  we can read you know.  you've already posted on the forums, have some patience
[17:07] <reisio> Vlan: you're using Unity?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> superzzt:  you may want to try the samba web interface to see if it sees the remote printer.
[17:08] <vlt> theadmin: I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop ISO image, saved to USB, booted in live mode and tried to install chromium-browser, which I cancelled after 3 hours. So I can’t tell whether it works from live CD :(
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> superzzt:  i mean the cups web interface. ;)  http:/localhost:631
[17:08] <strictland> apologies, other guy was asking me to use pastebin
[17:08] <Vlan> reisio: yep, i guess so
[17:08] <reisio> vlt: is it so important to use it from a live image?
[17:08] <superzzt> Dr_Willis:  I'd forgotten about that.  Will try.
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> superzzt:  my new printers all are stand alone on the network. :) best feature ever.
[17:09] <Jancoover> When installing programs i prefer to use Ubuntu Software Center. But what if I want to copy installed software to another Ubuntu machine? Where shall I look for installed software? Is there anything like "program files" folder in ubuntu?
[17:09] <vlt> reisio: User theadmin (who just left) recommended to try whether it crashes there too.
[17:09] <ikonia> Jancoover: you should never do that
[17:09] <ikonia> Jancoover: always use software center
[17:09] <reisio> Vlan: which version?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  You normally DONT just copy software over.. you could copy the .deb files over from the /var/cache/apt/ dirs.. and install the debs
[17:09] <MagicJ> hown can I orevent the pannel popping up when I move the cursor to the left on 12.04
[17:10] <reisio> vlt: ?
[17:10] <wawowe> Jancoover: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  if you want to save download bandwitch. setup a main machine as a apt-cacher-ng server and let it cache all the debs for the rest of the lan.
[17:10] <vlt> reisio: Since I upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install) my browser (chromium) is unusable. I start it and after a few seconds it closes. This is the terminal output I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007881/  What to do now?
[17:11] <reisio> vlt: what version of chromium?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> 'upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install)' ? you mean you just did a clean/new install then? ;)
[17:11] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  turn up the sensitivity on the panel?
[17:11] <vlt> reisio: Current
[17:11] <reisio> Vlan: which version of Ubuntu?
[17:12] <ubuntunobody> hey, in gnome shell, is there a way to rearrange extension icons in the top bar?
[17:12] <LordOfTime> s/up/down/
[17:12] <reisio> vlt: 'Current' is not a version
[17:12] <reisio> versions are made up of numbers, and sometimes letters
[17:12] <Vlan> reisio: 12.04
[17:12] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: yes - helps - but not enough - want to really stop it 100%
[17:12] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  don't use Unity then
[17:12] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  you could use gnome-shell or something
[17:12] <shivangpatel> any one know how to setup eclipse for advanced JAVA? i mean how to setup apache tomcat?
[17:12] <Darael> Dr_Willis, Jancoover: I favour squid-deb-proxy, myself.
[17:13] <LordOfTime> !notunity | MagicJ
[17:13] <thisisgil> theadmin thanks! one last thing - do I need to write 'root' after the time variables, ie so it would be 0 0 0 0 0 root <command> ?
[17:13] <vlt> reisio: The one I get when I install the latest pkg chromium-browser package. apt says 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1
[17:13] <Elev>  /n
[17:13] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: how do I easily turn it off
[17:13] <superzzt> Dr_Willis:  cups doesn't see the printer despite the fact that it is a shared printer.  (It is on a windows 7 box, FYI)
[17:13] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  by not using Unity, but using gnome-shell
[17:14] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  you either have it autohide or you dont in which case it'll always be there
[17:14] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  you can change *where* it shows up (left side / bottom), but if you want it to autohide but not respond to being tapped, you might be out of luck
[17:14]  * LordOfTime checks
[17:14] <EliahKagan> vlt: try quitting chromium-browser, then in the Terminal run: cd .config; mv chromium chromium.old
[17:14] <splnet> OK dumb question of the day: How do you uninstall a package? sudo dpkg -r linux-image-3.2.14-debug -> " warning: ignoring request to remove ..."
[17:14] <EliahKagan> then go back into Chromium and see if it works agaiin
[17:14] <vlt> EliahKagan: I started with an empty ~
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> superzzt:  how about findsmb, and smbtree commands.
[17:15] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: ty so much - that's how it seemed - YUCK - I will o the drop back to gnome I guess - this is the tupe of thing that will drive me and others away from Ubuntu - I have 131 sites running Ubuntu that I will probably end up changing because of this type of thing
[17:15] <fl1bbl3> splnet apt-get remove
[17:15] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  you could make it go to the bottom
[17:15] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  or just make it so its always visible and not hidden
[17:15] <EliahKagan> splnet: or if you want to remove systemwide configuration files too, run apt-get purge
[17:16] <shivangpatel> how to setup apache tomcat in eclipse...for java
[17:16] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: my users do not want to be confused by this stuff.  They use the few things we have on the desktop and no more
[17:17] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  the dash is part of Unity.  to not have the dash, the answer  is don't use Unity, but use Gnome Shell or Gnome Classic (I am partial to gnome shell)
[17:17] <reisio> Vlan: you just need the command to disable effects, then you can simply put it in a shell script with your vnc command and run that instead
[17:17] <splnet> EliahKagan: yeah purge did the trick thanks
[17:17] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: I agree - and the best way to that is to change to another distro
[17:17] <superzzt> Dr_Willis:  smbtree sees the winbox, but no printer.  Interesting.  This isn't important to me.  I'll write this off as a Windows glitch for now and not waste your time.  Thanks.
[17:17] <EliahKagan> vlt: how did you start with an empty home directory if you 12.04 LTS system is an upgrade?
[17:17] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  or use Gnome Shell (which is closer to Gnome than Unity)
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> The panel is getting some neat features with icon feedback/animation and quicklists. ;)
[17:17] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  Ubuntu's a great distro, you could use Kubuntu (KDE) if you want
[17:18] <sudo|king> i recently ran an upgrade and am no longer able to launch OpenGL apps. have an nvidia gs 8400, get this error on launch: "X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)"
[17:18] <LordOfTime> MagicJ:  when i get tired of Unity, i keep KDE around :P
[17:18] <vlt> EliahKagan: <vlt> Since I upgraded to 12.04 (fresh install) …
[17:18] <reisio> Vlan: maybe just metacity --replace
[17:18] <EliahKagan> vlt: oh ok sorry
[17:18] <EliahKagan> well you
[17:18] <MagicJ> LordOfTime: I like unity for my own development use  -but for a "packaged system" ready for the end user for whom I really want to hide that there is an OS there at all this is bo good
[17:18] <superzzt> Dr_Willis:  Better yet, I'll check another winbox on the network to see if it's there.  Either way I thank you for your help.  You've helped point me in a new direction.
[17:19] <EliahKagan> *well you are not running the latest version, try upgrading chromium-browser: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

[17:19] <mirbot> i have a very bizzare issue that is crashing my computer everytime i boot.  its related to lockfile-create
[17:20] <sudo|king> Jancoover: try ##programming
[17:20] <mirbot> i cannot find any resolution to the issue
[17:20] <EliahKagan> vlt: you can try the version from -proposed by installing the .deb file manually (you can get it here, it's for Precise): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser
[17:20] <mirbot> this error didnt appear until after i upgraded to 12.04
[17:20] <shivangpatel> any one know how to install apache tomcat in eclipse for java
[17:20] <sudo|king> eh
[17:20] <sudo|king> i'm going to recompile nvidia driver, see if that helps
[17:20] <EliahKagan> vlt: or you can do this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed (selectively upgrade just chromium-browser)
[17:20] <sudo|king> bbl
[17:21] <EliahKagan> mirbot, can you give more details, besides that it's related to lockfile-create ?
[17:21] <shivangpatel> any one know how to install apache tomcat in eclipse for java....
[17:21] <LordOfTime> shivangpatel:  ask in the eclipse channel?  you might need tomcat installed first
[17:21] <LordOfTime> !repeat | shivangpatel
[17:21] <shivangpatel> ok
[17:22] <mirbot> EliahKagan, 'lockfile-create crashed with SIGSEGV in calloc()
[17:22] <EliahKagan> vlt: also, ~ shouldn't be *empty* even for a new user, there should be some dotfiles in it, ...have you actually tried cd-ing to .config (files that start with . are hidden by default)
[17:22] <mirbot> that the message
[17:23] <mirbot> i am been sending dumps of the crash report for several weeks now
[17:23] <EliahKagan> mirbot, did you get an error reporting window and report it as a bug, and if so, can you post the Launchpad bug link here?
[17:23] <vlt> EliahKagan: Of course I had some .bash config files after adding the new user.
[17:23] <EliahKagan> mirbot, cool, can you post a link to the bug report you created? (any of them)
[17:23] <mirbot> i just hit continue
[17:23] <angs> is there any GUI task manager to see active processes and kill processes?
[17:23] <mirbot> i dont have any links

[17:24] <angs> thanks linuxmonkey
[17:25] <chigy> compiz effect problem!!!!!!!!
[17:26] <mirbot> EliahKagan, give me a moment.  i am going to reboot which will bring the window with the information you need back up.  silly me for hitting continue thinking it would produce a bug link

[17:45] <vassalli> as unmount sda1, thanks

[17:47] <vlt> EliahKagan: I think that one: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007881/ (I can only read it for a few seconds before chromium closes)
[17:47] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: If you are running a firewall, then connection attempts to that port will simply be ignored.
[17:48] <mintuser> hi there. i want to know how to make "busybox telnetd" act as a telnet daemon. has anybody had any luck with it yet?
[17:48] <EliahKagan> vlt: uh, you should probably start by installing a different browser so that you can use the web while working on getting this problem fixed (you could install firefox, for example); also...did it even open for a few seconds before?
[17:49] <mintuser> i want it to act as a telnet daemon and accept connections from other computers
[17:49] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: okay.  Thanks.   How do I know if I'm running a firewall?   My linux is still weak, and when I installed it, I knew absolutely nothing.
[17:50] <escott> HelloWorld321, sudo iptables -L
[17:50] <EliahKagan> vlt, "Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)" means SIGABRT, not SIGSEGV (i.e., not segmentation fault as i'd misremembered)...but you don't seem to have a crash (per se) now at all

[17:50] <ubuntu_64bit> all
[17:50] <donvito3> but ill need one line for windows xp too?
[17:50] <ubuntu_64bit> hi all
[17:51] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: here's what I'm actually trying to do.  I'm running MySql and I can see it throughout my LAN via phpMyAdmin, but not through direct tools like Oracle's SQL Developer (with MySQL plugin), it says there's a network error, so I'm thinkning "firewall"
[17:51] <HelloWorld321> escott: thanks, I'll try my iptables
[17:51] <escott> HelloWorld321, run that from the command line. if the output shows no chains you have no firewall
[17:51] <donvito3> because one is ubuntu recovery console
[17:51] <vlt> EliahKagan: Yes, I could use FF but the default browser for the links here on terminal is chromium. And yes, it also opened for a few seconds before.
[17:52] <ubuntu_64bit> i have install ubuntu 12.04 there is a problem with a usb huawei modem

[17:52] <ubuntu_64bit> i have install ubuntu 12.04 there is a problem with a usb huawei modem
[17:52] <vlt> EliahKagan: I will try. I got that one when just trying again: chromium-browser: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.2/src/cairo-surface.c:1287: cairo_surface_set_device_offset: Assertion `status == CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS' failed.
[17:53] <vlt> EliahKagan: Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)
[17:53] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: Ah.  You should double check that MySQL is in fact configured to accept network connections.  I think sometimes the default install doesn't allow them until you tell it to explicitly.

[17:56] <wawowe> donvito3: if that doesn't work you'll have wubi as a fallback
[17:56] <wilee-nilee> nobody460, have you completely updated and looked at the additonal drivers for any missing drivers>
[17:56] <wawowe> donvito3: may be safer to just try the install again
[17:56] <EliahKagan> vlt: you can try running chromium with the gksu -u or gksudo -u command (not su/sudo, that will mess things up), but you shouldn't, because that doesn't fully account for all differences between the two accounts; problems in your current account could still potentially make chromium-browser not work if you run in another account with gksu/gksudo
[17:57] <HelloWorld321> vlt: if you mean in a terminal session, try the "su" command to become another user
[17:57] <Pankaj> After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use.
[17:57] <EliahKagan> escott: it is not generally possible to startx a new GUI session from a virtual console, without configuring things first to make that work or passing arguments to startx
[17:57] <sirriffsalot> When I run "sudo gnome-panel" the left pane appears again, but if I kill the terminal it disappears again...
[17:57] <ubuntu_64bit> wobble, see EliahKagan
[17:57] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321:  The other thing to remember is that command I gave you to check if MySQL is running is case sensitive.  LISTEN really has to be in all caps otherwise grep won't find it.
[17:58] <ubuntu_64bit> i have install ubuntu 12.04 there is a problem with a usb huawei modem
[17:58] <vlt> vlt, sirriffsalot, escott, HelloWorld321 and others: I found it. You have to click on the _name_, not on the icon in the upper right corner.
[17:58] <EliahKagan> wobble: if you download from that site it will automatically pick a good mirror, that is better than any direct link we can give you, is that not working for you?
[17:58] <wilee-nilee> !pm | nobody460 I wopuld not jsut pm without asking.
[17:59] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: okay, I see it.  Thanks.  Looks like my port is open
[17:59] <HelloWorld321> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:3306          <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN
[17:59] <sirriffsalot> vlt: \o/
[17:59] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: If that's the only line it's listening on localhost only.
[17:59] <nobody460> :willie-nilee sorry, I'm new in mIRC too :)
[18:00] <HelloWorld321> That's the only line
[18:00] <ubuntu_64bit> ubottu,  acha kutuzingua
[18:00] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: got any tips on how to get MySQL to listen on another subnet?
[18:00] <EliahKagan> wobble: if you need a direct link you can use http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso (32-bit) or http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso (64-bit) but that may not be as fast as an autoselected mirror (go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop, pick 32-bit or 64-bit, and click Start download)
[18:00]  * wilee-nilee wonders why
[18:03] <Bounceand> Test
[18:03] <sirriffsalot> Bounceand: pong
[18:03] <daze> does anybody know how I minimize xchat to the launchbar? now 'minimize' puts it in the tray every time.. :/
[18:03] <vlt> Please excuse my language.
[18:03] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: You have to change the bind-address in my.cnf to listen on the IP address or subnet of your machine.
[18:03] <vlt> WHAT THE FSCK?!?!?!
[18:03] <Bounceand> Thnx ping
[18:03] <Jancoover_> ##programming
[18:03] <vlt> I could read files from another user!
[18:04] <Bounceand> Hi everybody
[18:04] <EliahKagan> vlt: when you were guest, or when you were a different (real) user
[18:04] <EliahKagan> for guest to be able to do that is bad...for another real user to be able to do that is fine so long as the user who owns the files has permissions set to allow it
[18:04] <EliahKagan> hi Bounceand
[18:05] <vlt> I created another user, switched to that (using the menu I found) and could read files of my other user.
[18:05] <vlt> EliahKagan: ^
[18:05] <EliahKagan> vlt: yeah that might be fine, check your permissions
[18:05] <EliahKagan> Ubuntu has permissive permissions by default
[18:05] <vlt> EliahKagan: I didn’t change them.
[18:05] <EliahKagan> you can change it though
[18:05] <vlt> Ubutnu has what?
[18:05] <vlt> The default is that users can read each others home dirs?
[18:06] <EliahKagan> vlt: yes, this is by design, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies#Permissive_Home_Directory_Access
[18:06] <EliahKagan> but note that guest is not supposed to be able to do this (AppArmor is used to constrain what guest can do)
[18:07] <vlt> I love that euphemism here: “allow users to easily share files and help each other”
[18:08] <vlt> EliahKagan: Ok, back to topic: I logged in as the other (fresh) user and got the segfault crash again in chromium.
[18:08] <EliahKagan> vlt: that's not a euphemism, this was not done by mistake and it would not be hard to change it, it hasn't been changed because the security team decided that this is preferable to more restrictive behavior; the link i posted explains how to change the default on your system
[18:09] <EliahKagan> vlt: darn, i was hoping it was something in your user account
[18:09] <EliahKagan> vlt: i don't remember, did you purge and reinstall chromium-browser?
[18:09] <BLZbubba> how do you stop pulse audio from running?
[18:09] <EliahKagan> if not, try that -- that will wipe out global configuration files
[18:09] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: You also have to do some grants to allow specific users access to databases from remote addresses.  If you wanted root to be able to connect to any database from  <IP_ADDRESS>-254 you would have to say something like grant all on *.* to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>IDENTIFIED BY "mysecretpassword";
[18:10] <EliahKagan> vlt: sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install chromium-browser
[18:10] <jack_> After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use.
[18:10] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: I've got that.  I'm still trying to find where MySQL installed the my.cnf file.
[18:11] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321: Try "locate my.cnf"
[18:11] <HelloWorld321> looiks like its in /etc/mysql
[18:11] <vlt> EliahKagan: Ah, thanks, just ran the purge command and was going to run install afterwards
[18:11] <EliahKagan> vlt: that works too
[18:13] <BLZbubba> pulse audio keeps coming back after I kill it, @$^  -- there must be a proper way to disable it without doing something nasty like chmod -x
[18:13] <vlt> EliahKagan: segfault
[18:13] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: a couple more questions about adding the bind-address to my.cnf ...
[18:13] <vlt> EliahKagan: dmesg: [ 5692.191485] chromium-browse[5248]: segfault at b7975000 ip b41e3450 sp bfda0d60 error 6 in chromium-browser[b3631000+41b4000]
[18:14] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: can I put multiple bind-address lines?  Can I keep the old <IP_ADDRESS> and add a new subnet below it?
[18:14] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: can I use * in the subnet?  or should I use 255 or % or something else?
[18:15] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: do I need to restart MySQL to activate the new bind-address?
[18:15] <terafl0ps> Not sure about multiple bind addresses.   A restart of the mysql service is definitely necessary.
[18:16] <vlt> EliahKagan: And now?
[18:17] <wawowe> BLZbubba: maybe /etc/xdg/autostart, or /etc/default/pulseaudio. but i would just do something nasty
[18:17] <EliahKagan> vlt: i don't know, you could try enabling apport and reporting the crash (during which you may find suggested duplicates coming up that contain info about workarounds): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How_to_enable_apport
[18:17] <lduros> i have an asus u46 laptop and for some reason in Ubuntu 12.04 I can't tap to click with the touchpad
[18:17] <lduros> any idea what's going on?
[18:18] <lduros> :-)
[18:18] <Kaleidoscope> Quick question, My hard drive failed, so I'm running off a USB stick at the moment, I installed to it through Unetbootin, And I was just wondering, Will changes I make stay applied to it? Or will I lose everything each time I restart?
[18:18] <HelloWorld321> tx terafl0ps: u r teh uber
[18:18] <EliahKagan> vlt: or if Chrome would meet your needs, you could install that
[18:18] <trism> BLZbubba: ~/.pulse/client.conf create/add: autospawn=no
[18:18] <terafl0ps> HelloWorld321:  It turns out  if no address or <IP_ADDRESS> is specified, the server listens on all interfaces.
[18:19] <HelloWorld321> terafl0ps: gotcha.  tx.  And then I control it from inside the MySQL user permissions
[18:19] <trism> BLZbubba: see: man pulse-client.conf; for all the options and more detail
[18:20] <EliahKagan> Kaleidoscope: no, changes made to a live USB are not persistent
[18:21] <Kaleidoscope> EliahKagan, Figures, Alright thanks man
[18:21] <vlt> EliahKagan: apport says it’s already running, maybe I eventually checked “don’t ever ask me again when chromium crashes”. How to enable it again?
[18:22] <wawowe> Kaleidoscope: tar xvpf your changes
[18:22] <EliahKagan> vlt: check inside /etc/apport/blacklist.d, also check for .crash files for it inside /var/crash
[18:24] <vlt> EliahKagan: I got an 8 MB log file in /var/crash.
[18:25] <EliahKagan> vlt: if the log file is for chromium-browser and you're cd'd to the /var/crash directory, you can submit it with: ubuntu-bug FILENAME
[18:25] <pie_> what does ubuntu mount when it says mounting some kind of cryptswap stuff on boot?
[18:25] <pie_> it'd be counterproductive if the decryption key was on the disk...
[18:25] <EliahKagan> vlt: alternatively if you delete it and make sure chromium-browser is not blacklisted in /etc/apport/blacklist.d, then when you produce the crash again you should get the option to submit it
[18:26] <vlt> EliahKagan: The file is of course for chromium. It’s from the other user session. bz2 is still 6 MB.
[18:27] <vlt> EliahKagan: I'll use ubuntu-bug.
[18:27] <sollidsnake> My message indicator is not highlighting when I get new messages or mail. Anybody knows what I can do to fix this?
[18:28] <EliahKagan> vlt, you may as well go back to the original user account
[18:31] <jack_> After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use.
[18:32] <fellayaboy> does 12.04 have a dns cache?

[18:52] <stueng> zaki: I gtg, but make sure you can ping your "default gateway"
[18:52] <sergwy> 12.04 has too many bugs yet, but it's not slow
[18:53] <donvito2> the graphic card is not good
[18:53] <donvito2> maybe thats why ?
[18:53] <Khmerog> donvito you should probably either get linux mint or Xubuntu then
[18:53] <donvito2> hehe the point is to use ubuntu
[18:53] <donvito2> right?
[18:53] <donvito2> :)
[18:54] <terafl0ps> donvito: or login using gnome "without effects"
[18:54] <Ken7383> Although MInt 13 is now out, I suggest Mint 12 which is stable.

[18:55] <terafl0ps> donvito2: Do you know where the option is in the login screen?  I think you have to click the gnome foot to see it.
[18:55] <Khmerog> yes you can disable some effects i guess...what part do u find slow? give an example? like when loading up apps? browsing web on (which web browser) ?
[18:55] <donvito2> yes khem__

[18:57] <Nardella> what should i do next?
[18:57] <bartha> is your card external or internal?
[18:57] <Nardella> internal
[18:58] <bartha> did you check if its recognised already?
[18:58] <donvito2> what line i need to add on boot.ini to be able to chose ubuntu instead windows xp
[18:58] <wawowe> donvito2 C:\Wubildr.mbr = "Ubuntu Wubi"
[18:58] <bartha> Nardella could you try dmesg | grep wireless ?
[18:59] <donvito2> hey wawowe thanks
[18:59] <bartha> see if something shows up?
[18:59] <Nardella> how do i open the terminal?
[18:59] <zykotick9> bartha: "... | grep -i wireless" might work better
[18:59] <jack_> sollidsnake , previously everything was working fine, but one day ubuntu was crashed while forcibly shutting down, and after then reinstalling it gives same problem. I tried installing same image as well as different images downloaded from website, but none of them proved fruitful. Everything works fine in Windows which I installed side by side on different partition.
[18:59] <donvito2> brb
[18:59] <jack_>
[19:00] <bartha> zykotick9 yep..

[19:00] <Nardella> i just downloaded it a few minutes ago, not sure
[19:01] <bartha> you could do lsb_release
[19:01] <bartha> see what comes up..
[19:02] <bartha> Nardella btw do everything in terminal..
[19:02] <Nardella> looks like i need to download firmeware
[19:02] <bartha> what is it saying?

[19:04] <L3top> what doesn't work gapagos?
[19:05] <gapagos> Dr_Willis, wawoe, i get GUI just at 1280x760 with only software acceleration, image is distored with a widescreen
[19:05] <gapagos> L3top gimmie a sec ill redo it but i think it couldnt get the package from the server
[19:05] <zaki> bartha: i hav pro regerding wifi its conected bt i cant browse internet
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> gapagos:  for best use of the nvidia cards. you need the nvidia drivers. so you need to focus on getting the  apt system going. Does IRC and web surfing work on that machine?
[19:06] <Jancoover> dedooshka)
[19:06] <zaki> barthaP am using 12.04
[19:06] <L3top> gapagos: are you, by any chance, connecting to a dvi > vga adapter or something similar? And you will need to get your networking sorted before you do anything else
[19:06] <bartha> zaki..
[19:06] <bartha> can you connect thru wire?
[19:06] <zaki> bartha :yes
[19:06] <bartha> zaki: open up a terminal and can you ping your wireless router?
[19:07] <jack_> After reinstalling ubuntu, it does not show me wired interface, neither headphones work nor brightness decresaes. In short, many hardware problems. I tried this formatting and installing many times but of no use.
[19:07] <zaki> bartha :no
[19:07] <bartha> ping <IP_ADDRESS> /172.16.X.1 or /192.168.X.1
[19:07] <gapagos> when I enter in terminal sudo apt-get update i get "Unable to lock directory  /var/lib/apt/lists/
[19:07] <bartha> zaki: waht does it say?
[19:07] <zaki> bartha: i cant able to ping
[19:07] <bartha> gapagos close software center first
[19:07] <Nardella> after installing new wireless card firmware do I need to resatart before it works?
[19:08] <L3top> gapagos: do you have software center open?
[19:08] <bartha> Nardells it should work.. without restart
[19:08] <bartha> zaki: can you tell me what you are getting?
[19:08] <gapagos> L3top no I don't
[19:08] <bartha> zaki: host unreachable?
[19:08] <Nardella> still getting the firmware missing error
[19:08] <zaki> bartha: 56(84) bytes of data. ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
[19:08] <gapagos> L3top no I closed it but it still does the same thing, can I kill it another way?
[19:08] <L3top> gapagos: SOMETHING is holding open apt... update manager... etc
[19:09] <bartha> zaki: ifconfig
[19:09] <bartha> and tell me what you see
[19:09] <gapagos> L3top, anyway softare manager (when it's open) can't seem to get updates either
[19:09] <bartha> then do iwconfig and tell me if you see your wireless associated with any AP
[19:10] <zaki> bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008571/
[19:10] <L3top> gapagos: ctrl + alt + f2 and type: sudo service lightdm stop
[19:10] <L3top> gapagos: then sudo apt-get update      tell me the result of that
[19:11] <bartha> zaki: you are connected can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> in your terminal?
[19:11] <zaki> bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008573/
[19:11] <L3top> and again gapagos, are you connecting from your pc to your monitor through any kind of converter eg DVI > VGA
[19:11] <OerHeks> Nardella, yes, reboot after installing firmware
[19:12] <Nardella> thanks
[19:12] <bartha> zaki: what kind of intel firmware is it?
[19:12] <zaki> bartha: 56(84) bytes of data. ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
[19:12] <IBMHPGOOGLE> If I have ubuntu can I install debian by typing something even if I need to remove debian
[19:12] <zaki> bartha: how can ifind firmware
[19:13] <reisio> IBMHPGOOGLE: technically
[19:13] <bartha> zaki could you type netstat -r and see if waht the routes are?
[19:13] <reisio> IBMHPGOOGLE: what makes you think you need Debian
[19:13] <gapagos> L3top gimmie a sec it was hard enough to get out of the black full screen terminal mode lol
[19:13] <Khmerog> what is the app for ubuntu that auto mounts your hard drive at start up?
[19:13] <gapagos> my connection is DVI to monitor, no VGA involved
[19:13] <OerHeks> IBMHPGOOGLE, better ask in #debian
[19:13] <reisio> Khmerog: grub, the kernel, /etc/fstab
[19:13] <bartha> Khmerog: change the entry in your fstab
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> Khmerog:  at Boot time, the fstab is read and used
[19:14] <L3top> IBMHPGOOGLE no.  Not really. It would be a whole lot easier to backup your data, install debian , and move your data over
[19:14] <Guest92764> I have AMD HD 5850 grapghic card Ubuntu 12.04 my temps are 49 C in windows they are 34 C, I have an aftermark cooler  - why are the temps so High
[19:14] <zaki> bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008534/
[19:14] <Guest92764> Is the profiles set to perfomance
[19:14] <gapagos> L3top, it gives me the same error with sudo apt-get update even in the terminal ctrl alt F2 mode
[19:14] <OerHeks> Khisanth, pysdm is a gui tool to mount partitions
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> !info psydm
[19:15] <bartha> zaki: is the same pastie
[19:15] <L3top> gapagos: did you shutdown the desktop manager?
[19:15] <Loveeyhuu> Hi
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> !info pysdm
[19:15] <Nardella> okay, im still getting the firmware missing error

[19:15] <bartha> oops! not that way zaki!
[19:15] <L3top> Guest92764: what driver are you running?
[19:15] <gapagos> L3top, how do I shutdown the desktop manager
[19:15] <zaki> bartha sory
[19:16] <Guest92764> native ubunut 12.04 drivers
 gapagos: ctrl + alt + f2 and type: sudo service lightdm stop
[19:16] <bartha> zaki: thats fine..
[19:16] <bartha> zaki: your routes look fine..
[19:16] <bartha> ok.. lets do an arp
[19:16] <Khmerog> im trying to install flash player for kubuntu..weird that im able to play youtube video (uses flash right?) but videos on Steam says i need flash...Do i download YUM or .tar.gz or .rpm or apt?
[19:16] <bartha> and see what comes up
[19:16] <bartha> terminal arp
[19:16] <gapagos> L3top, ok ill try that
[19:17] <zaki> bartha:arp?
[19:17] <OerHeks> Khmerog, flash on steam sounds like a wine issue
[19:17] <L3top> Guest92764: the open source radeon driver is not ideally suited for your card, though frankly I prefer it. Install the proprietary fglrx driver and check your temps.
[19:17] <Khmerog> u are right i was running steam on wine
[19:17] <Khmerog> but which of those files should i be downloading?
[19:18] <Guest92764> will it f*ck up my system :P
[19:18] <Khmerog> i am  guessing Tar.gz?  they all say Linux 64
[19:18] <L3top> Guest92764: sudo apt-get install fglrx
[19:18] <bartha> zaki: yep in terminal type arp
[19:18] <zaki> bartha ok
[19:18] <wawowe> Khmerog: you'd need windows flash
[19:18] <OerHeks> Khmerog, maybe winetricks has something for flash
[19:18] <Guest92764> wow 231 mb
[19:18] <L3top> Guest92764: no... it will use the drivers ATI made for your card, and unlock accelleration etc... btw they dont like language even starred out in here.
[19:18] <reisio> Khmerog: none of the above, you install with the package manager
[19:19] <zaki> bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008582/
[19:19] <bartha> zaki: do you have wired and wireless running right now?
[19:19] <OerHeks> !wine
[19:19] <reisio> 'Wine'
[19:19] <Guest92764> ok sorry
[19:19] <Nardella> Okay, i htink i know what went wrong. I downloaded the firmware installer but did not run it, how do i run it?
[19:19] <L3top> Guest92764: However the linux support for ATI is terrible too in contrast.
[19:19] <Guest92764> thanks will install and report back
[19:20] <bartha> zaki: it some times happens in ubuntu. It does not know how to route. So disconnect wired and see if wireless works..
[19:20] <zaki> bartha : both conected bt wen iremv wire i cant browse internet stil wifi is conected
[19:20] <bartha> zaki: your arp has two routes to the same thing
[19:20] <Guest92764> i remmeber that you can set the profile  for the native driver
[19:20] <Guest92764> like low normal and performance
[19:20] <L3top> Guest92764: to answer your original question though, why it is not like it is in windows is due to the manufacturer, and their closed source driver, and the level of importance they place on *nix support.
[19:20] <zaki> bartha: i tryd bt not working
[19:20] <bartha> zaki: disconnect wired, in terminal type " sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[19:21] <bartha> zaki: that should register you back on the wireless
[19:21] <bartha> and lets see if ti works fine
[19:21] <zaki> bartha: let me check
[19:21] <daze> why don't manufacturers opensource their drivers? =)
[19:21] <zaki> bartha: b back
[19:21] <bartha> daze: its not in the best interest of theirs..
[19:21] <Guest92764> Yes. Where is the profile located for the native drivers
[19:21] <bartha> zaki: sure
[19:21] <Guest92764> confg
[19:22] <daze> but what's there to hide in driver code? :]
[19:22] <L3top> daze that is an involved answer which is best debated in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:22] <daze> hehe, ok
[19:22] <reisio> daze: it's more about tradition and not wanting to give up control
[19:22] <bartha> reisio +1
[19:22] <gapagos> L3top i did not figre out how to return to the GUI after your CTRL + ALT F2 command this time
[19:23] <gapagos> I had to reboot my entire computer :-(
[19:23] <daze> to be somewhat on topic, I just went from Windows7 to Ubuntu this week and NVIDIA 295.40 driver messed up things badly (everything was reaaaaaly slow).
[19:23] <bartha> ALT F7 I think..
[19:23] <L3top> well... yeah... we shut it down gapagos... you didn't ask... I assumed you were on a different computer.
[19:23] <gapagos> L3top also it gave me the same error as before
[19:24] <daze> and I'm currently not using any 'restricted' video driver, but ubuntu runs in "3D" mode with, I suppose, acceptable video performance
[19:24] <reisio> daze: fixed it?
[19:24] <TheShrub> gapagos: yeah, its Ctrl-Alt-F7 (on my setup at the very least)
[19:24] <daze> reisio, well I had two reinstalls that day, so yeah :D
[19:24] <L3top> me as well daze, but definitely does run hotter.
[19:24] <gapagos> TheShrub, I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1to12 and id did not work
[19:24] <reisio> :/
[19:25] <gapagos> the point is:
[19:25] <daze> the whole experience was good, though. I'm a happy Ubuntu convert.
[19:25] <L3top> TheShrub: gapagos, we SHUT DOWN the desktop... it would have to be started again to get back
[19:26] <gapagos> 1) I can't boot Ubuntu without nomodeset; 2) can't get sudo apt-get update to work; 3) I can't install nvidia drivers through command line.
[19:26] <donvito2> i cant and i cant fix, the boot option
[19:26] <donvito2> i install grub2 grub
[19:26] <L3top> Regardless, gapagos... can you please open a terminal and type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:26] <zaki> bartha: * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces  * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
[19:26] <donvito2> and nothing the menu doesnt show
[19:26] <bartha> gapagos: have you check if its /etc/apt/ has the source files?
[19:26] <gapagos> L3top ok I did, it provided no return line
[19:26] <testi> How can I reset font settings?
[19:26] <Nardella> I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run it
[19:26] <gapagos> bartha speak Common English ;)
[19:27] <L3top> gapagos: we can unlock the directory... but I am very baffled as to why it is locked.
[19:27] <gapagos> Imagine I'm a hot blonde with large boobs
[19:27] <bartha> gapagos: LOL
[19:27] <daze> the single thing that was keeping me from converting to Linux all these years was terrible font rendering. And with Ubuntu 12 it seems to be Mac-like, even better. So I'm really enjoying the newfound ground here :)
[19:27] <bartha> gapagos: check if the apt has the source list at that location
[19:27] <bartha> zaki: what happened?
[19:27] <gapagos> L3top just for general info, my ubuntu 12.04 is a fresh install
[19:27] <zaki> bartha: * Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces  * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
[19:28] <bartha> zaki: did it say it found someone offering IP?
[19:28] <bartha> zaki: or is it in sleep? ( waiting for an DHCP offer)?
[19:28] <gapagos> I only repaired the GRUB because the default grub installation wouldn't even boot it said "no such device"
[19:28] <IBMHPGOOGLE> L3 top: why can install it in fedora but not in ubuntu is based on debian it should be
[19:28] <giovanni60> hello
[19:28] <giovanni60> I put a 2 ° hd (slave) that I use as data, but sometimes it apart and I no longer have access, I repeat again the installation, but subsequently is disassembled: Using Ubuntu 12.04, hd problems?
[19:29] <bartha> giovanni60: could you explain more clearly?
[19:29] <zaki> bartha:its got ip its conected bt i cant browse
[19:29] <bartha> ok..
[19:29] <Nardella> I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run it
[19:29] <bartha> zaki: do not connect your wired back.. lets be on wireless
[19:29] <bartha> zaki: now in terminal type ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:30] <zaki> ok
[19:30] <gapagos> also it's weird, youtube used to work last time I booted, and now it doesn't work anymore, it says flash plugin failed to install
[19:30] <Nardella> ok that sounds redundant, let me rephrase
[19:30] <Nardella> I have run "apt-get install firmware-b43legacy-installer" how do i run the installer
[19:30] <bartha> Nardella is it a .run?
[19:30] <gapagos> My Ubuntu installation is going bad from worse and I'm not even doing anything to it
[19:30] <bartha> then just ./X.run
[19:30] <gapagos> Like wtf
[19:30] <Nardella> bartha i have no idea
[19:30] <zaki> bartha: ping <IP_ADDRESS> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[19:31] <bartha> zaki: you have to hold on.. ping takes time..
[19:31] <bartha> Nardella can you tell me the type of file?
[19:31] <bartha> is it a .deb .run ?
[19:31] <bartha> or just a tar.gz?
[19:31] <Nardella> no i cannot
[19:31] <Nardella> I dont know where it is
[19:31] <gapagos> So can anyone help me or is Ubuntu just not working as badly as it was 5 years ago
[19:31] <L3top> gapagos: try sudo rm /etc/apt/lists/lock
[19:32] <gapagos> L3top it says:
[19:32] <bartha> Nardella..
[19:32] <gapagos> rm: cannot remove `/etc/apt/lists/lock': No such file or directory
[19:32] <bartha> you downlodaed the file right?
[19:32] <bartha> Nardella: you do not know where the file is?
[19:32] <Nardella> yes using the terminal
[19:32] <L3top> ls /etc/apt/lists
[19:32] <L3top> gapagos: ^
[19:32] <Nardella> i do not know where the terminal puts it
[19:32] <daze> oh, btw, what antivirus software are you using, if any?
[19:32] <gapagos> L3top: ls: cannot access /etc/apt/lists: No such file or directory
[19:32] <bartha> Nardella: it will be in pwd
[19:33] <Nardella> where is pwd?
[19:33] <bartha> Nardella: just do an "ls -la" command or "ls -laht"
[19:33] <bartha> and look at the top most file
[19:33] <bartha> pwd = prsent working directory
[19:34] <zaki> bartha: ping <IP_ADDRESS> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[19:34] <bartha> zaki: do iwconfig
[19:34] <L3top> gapagos: I am sorry... we are looking in the wrong place... sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[19:34] <bartha> zaki: iwconfig in terminal
[19:34] <bartha> zaki: tell me what comes up
[19:34] <gapagos> L3top ok it gave me no error and no return
[19:34] <L3top> sudo apt-get update

[19:35] <erealz> question how and where do you install lenses for unity
[19:35] <gapagos> L3top ok now it works :)
[19:35] <bartha> zaki: you are perfectly connected to wireless.. ( atleast from the looks of it)
[19:36] <Nardella> bartha: i dont understand, i ran the command, what next?
[19:36] <L3top> Ok... gapagos... now lets get the drivers you need.
[19:36] <gapagos> L3top actually now it's stuck at 91% [Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com]
[19:36] <L3top> just... let it go..
[19:36] <tarelerulz> running 12.04 and  turn on the hot spot feature ,but I can't change to no password and change it from add-hac  to infrastructure.  I just want to share my wired connection  wireless with my ps3 .  What should I do
[19:36] <erealz> lenses where is it?
[19:36] <zaki> bartha: ya bt stil i cant browse internet
[19:36] <bartha> zaki: lets do arp once more and send it as a pastie
[19:37] <L3top> gapagos: do not interrupt it... it will eventually timeout
[19:37] <L3top> gapagos: be right back...

[19:37] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[19:38] <erealz> ok
[19:38] <gapagos> last time I checked DukeNukem forever has already been released. :-O
[19:38] <erealz> i just wanted to know where lenses are kept
[19:38] <erealz> i dont see them in the store
[19:38] <wawowe> tarelerulz: iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
[19:38] <bartha> zaki: gimme one sec

[19:39] <erealz> were can you find lenses
[19:39] <bartha> zaki: you must be having some problem in your route.
[19:39] <erealz> do you have to use apt-get
[19:39] <reisio> 2d to 3D always fails
[19:39] <bartha> zaki: thats the only reason things might not be working.
[19:39] <erealz> or is it in the store?
[19:39] <wawowe> tarelerulz: ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:39] <zaki> bartha:wat solution?
[19:39] <erealz> is there a special code for lenses
[19:39] <tarelerulz> wawowe , how do I know if that is working?
[19:39] <wawowe> tarelerulz: set ps3 static ip to <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:40] <bartha> zaki: you are not setting a static IP?
[19:40] <wawowe> and add all that to /etc/rc.local
[19:40] <bartha> zaki: you are using DHCP right?
[19:40] <zaki> bartha:i tryed tat also

[19:40] <gapagos> l3top yes
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: sudo apt-get --reinstall install lo-menubar
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: does the same here in Quantal
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: that's my fix
[19:41] <bartha> ok zaki: lets try one more thing
[19:41] <DavidH2> im using 12.04

[19:41] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: should be ok, the 2 are very similar
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> !bug 1004394
[19:41] <gapagos> L3top, it's not timing out it's just stuck there
[19:41] <DoctorPepper> stay on the  the application menu
[19:42] <L3top> well gapagos... something is very wrong there. I would go ahead and ctrl c and try and stop it.
[19:42] <bartha> zaki: can you do an ifconfig -a and gimme the pastie?
[19:42] <donvito2> im sick with this

[19:42] <zaki> bartha:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008616/
[19:42] <L3top> I would create a new sources.list file here http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/     gapagos...
[19:42] <gapagos> L3top now it's stuck again, but at 92% instead of 91%
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: what's your issue?
[19:43] <donvito2> sec
[19:43] <donvito2> ill paste bin
[19:43] <DavidH2> david@Humphryesoffice:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install lo-menu

[19:43] <DavidH2> david@Humphryesoffice:~$
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !info lo-menu
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !info lo-menubar
[19:43] <zaki> bartha:u got it?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: ^
[19:43] <gapagos> L3top uh im not sure what to select there are so many options
[19:44] <donvito2> http://pastebin.com/seUVQCx8
[19:44] <gapagos> Why can't the normal sources list JUST WORK
[19:44] <gapagos> If I wanted to compile my own operating system I'd have studied in CS
[19:44] <donvito2> ActionParsnip
[19:45] <WarOfTheNerd> gapagos, sometimes compiling is good
[19:45] <donvito2> how to fix boot.ini so menu will show up
[19:45] <WarOfTheNerd> e.g. I now have one version of Wine that works on everything flawlessly
[19:45] <LjL> because obviously picking a dozen options on software sources amount to compiling your own operating system
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: i'm at wok and they proxy everything well, you can PM me it all if you want :)
[19:45] <DavidH2> still wonky after lo-menubar install
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: same as a fresh ubuntu user?
[19:46] <gapagos> WarOfTheNerd I have better things to do with my time than picking up all the options of things I don't understand
[19:46] <DavidH2> ??
[19:46] <gapagos> just like I don't remove every piece of my car when it won't run
[19:46] <zaki> bartha:?
[19:46] <WarOfTheNerd> gapagos, but you would buy a baby seat if you needed one, they don't come as standard
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: whats the issue?
[19:47] <WarOfTheNerd> gapagos, or you would replace the old tape player if you used CDs
[19:47] <gapagos> I would get ONE baby seat, I would not order all the baby seat parts individually
[19:47] <tarelerulz> wawowe , that was helpful and fast.  It looked like the gui tools should work ,but they show a connection  ,but nothing happens .   Like the ps3 could not even see my computer.  It seem like you should not need to go to command line for feature that is officially in the os  ,but you do
[19:47] <gapagos> The baby seat would be in a  store in a full package in a nice box
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: make a new ubuntu user, log off then log in as the new user, is it the same?
[19:47] <DavidH2> should i mention its the menu bar in  libre-office  writher?
[19:47] <dlentz> baby seats? what channel is this?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: what is the issue
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> DavidH2: could try renaming ~/.config/libreoffice    then rerun the app
[19:48] <gapagos> ActionParsnip, I can't install nvidia drivers and I can't complete sudo apt-get update
[19:48] <DavidH2> first i need to get my sys-tray back also
[19:48] <gapagos> and I can't boot without nomodeset option
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     wuill install the nvidia drivers
[19:49] <dlentz> gapagos, what card d you have?
[19:49] <gapagos> ActionParnsnip here's the error it gives me:
[19:49] <gapagos> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | gapagos
[19:49] <gapagos> dlentz, I have a nvidia 9600 gt
[19:50] <WarOfTheNerd> gapagos, is Ubuntu Software Centre running right now?
[19:50] <gapagos> WarOfTheNerd no it isn't, I get the same crap even in CTRL ALT F2 mode or whatever you call it
[19:50] <L3top> WarOfTheNerd: no... the lock file was hosed, we unlocked it, then apt-get update hung and locked it again.
[19:50] <sandking> hi
[19:51] <L3top> gapagos: follow the factoid ActionParsnip sent you... a much less hacky way than mine to resolve the issue
[19:51] <DavidH2> how do you get systray back on 12.04
[19:51] <sandking> i just installed ubuntu live cd on an usb drive. I generally want to have a portable ubuntu on my pendrive - is there a better way than installing livecd and each time using "try ubuntu" option/
[19:51] <sandking> ?
[19:51] <gapagos> ActionParsnip, it gives bash: !aptfix: event not found
[19:52] <L3top> gapagos: and create a new sources.list with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ would be the direction I went...
[19:52] <sandking> [like to have ubuntu installed way that it will automatically boot into os?]
[19:52] <LjL> gapagos: you don't need to type !aptfix. that's just a trigger for ubottu
[19:52] <DavidH2> the  rename didnt wokr
[19:52] <LjL> gapagos: ubottu told you what to type after !aptfix was given.
[19:52] <Mischinka> Will Ubuntu run well on an old pc?
[19:52] <L3top> !aptfix | no gapagos this is the fix here
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: read what ubottu said
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: the bang is to trigger ubottu to say something
[19:53] <gapagos> ah I see
[19:53] <gapagos> ok i killed the process
[19:53] <dlentz> sandking, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[19:54] <sandking> dlentz, thx
[19:54] <gapagos> ok so when I try to install nvidia drivers again here's what I get:
[19:54] <gapagos> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  nvidia-current : Depends: dkms but it is not installable                   Depends: patch but it
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: then retry, the packages were held by that process
[19:54] <gapagos> The following packages have unmet dependencies:  nvidia-current : Depends: dkms but it is not installable                   Depends: patch but it is not installable                   Recommends: nvidia-settings but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[19:55] <gapagos> what now
[19:55] <L3top> gapagos: again... replace your sources.list with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ what you generate at that website... run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade  and THEN try and install your drivers... Something is wrong
[19:56] <L3top> gapagos: the sources.list file exists at /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: did you add any PPAs to get the driver>?
[19:56] <i7c> mhm is there a good stand-alone run dialog in the packages?
[19:56] <AcidRain2012> where is the current set ubuntu desktop background stored at?
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> i7c: gmrum
[19:56] <stef1a> i'm using 12.04 with Unity 2D on an HP ProBook 4545s laptop, and there is no brightness slider in the brightness control in system settings. Pressing fn + f2/f3 does nothing. i have tried editing the grub config file and using xrandr, but nothing changes the actual backlight brightness.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> !info gmrun
[19:56] <i7c> thx ActionParsnip
[19:56] <AcidRain2012> this is very important to me, cause i made a dope ass background and now i cant find a copy of it
[19:57] <gapagos> ActionParsnip, I don't even know what PAs are
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: PPA, a 3rd party source for packages
[19:57] <gapagos> L3top, it asks me which updates, repos, etc I want, I have no idea what to select
[19:57] <wawowe> AcidRain2012: /usr/share/backgrounds
[19:57] <gapagos> ActionParsnip, no this is a fresh ubuntu install
[19:58] <AcidRain2012> wawowe: my current background isnt in that folder
[19:58] <Darael> I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting, which doesn't have, eg, compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-switching options...
[19:58] <stef1a> how can i change the backlight brightness of my screen?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: try the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: are you fully updated?
[19:59] <AcidRain2012> any other ideas on where this background image is located?
[19:59] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: read above... i've already tried this.
[19:59] <scarface> Why does Update Manager keep telling me "The list of changes is not available yet" for every package?  Been doing this since I installed 12.04.
[19:59] <wawowe> AcidRain2012: if you accidently deleted it add a keybinding for scrot or something and take a screenshot
[19:59] <gapagos> ActionParsnip NO BECAUSE THE FREAKIN APT-GET UPDATE GETS STUCK AT 92%
[19:59] <AcidRain2012> wawowe: thats the only way? :/
[19:59] <OerHeks> AcidRain2012, could be anywere in your /home/
[19:59] <gapagos> god I,ve been in circle for hours
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: I cn read lower case too you know...
[20:00] <Jragon> Hello
[20:00] <wawowe> AcidRain2012: unless you wanna dig through your memory for pngs :P
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008634/
[20:00] <AcidRain2012> lol
[20:00] <DavidH2> anyone know how to reinstall systray in 12.04
[20:00] <stef1a> i have the lines GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
[20:00] <stef1a> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
[20:00] <AcidRain2012> is there a way to take a screenshot wher ei dont have to move all of the icons?
[20:00] <pie_> is it a known but that the lock screen doesnt come on if theres a gnome menu open?
[20:00] <stef1a> in my /etc/default/grub, but it doesn't let me change the brightness
[20:01] <stueng> anyone know if its possible to start/configure vino in xbmcbuntu ?
[20:01] <wawowe> AcidRain2012: put all your icons in a folder and move it to /tmp, then take a screenshot and move it back
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> stueng: xbmcubuntu isn't supported here
[20:02] <stef1a> i'm using 12.04 with Unity 2D on an HP ProBook 4545s laptop, and there is no brightness slider in the brightness control in system settings.  I have a very annoying problem with the brightness of my ubuntu
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: the pastebin I gave will clean your repos off nicely
[20:08] <wilfried> hello , I'm trying to install aircrack-ng on Ubuntu 12.04 64bits, i can't; I saw on the website that it exist and universe repo is OK in my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008644/
[20:08] <L3top> ActionParsnip: I do not believe that will do anything but confound the situation... there is a dependency problem with the current mirror list they have.
[20:08] <gapagos> ActionParsnip ok it's my last attempt before I just restore windows MBR
[20:08] <dejahnue> gapagos, there's two different nvidia drivers
[20:09] <vincenzo> it doesn't keep the brightness settings
[20:09] <shaneo> hi guys i was trying to update to the latest kernel and received this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008646/. Any suggestions?
[20:09] <vincenzo> every time i reboot and every time i leave my laptop for a while
[20:09] <L3top> gapagos: I strongly recommend replacing your current sources.list with the one I generated for you... sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade  then try and install your nvidia driver.
[20:09] <vincenzo> without using it
[20:09] <stueng> anyone know how to get support for xbmcbuntu ?
[20:10] <stueng> ActionParsnip: I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 btw, not xbmcbuntu... but the problem I have will apply to xbmcbuntu users specifically
[20:10] <ikonia> stueng: do they have their own channel ?
[20:10] <stueng> appears now
[20:10] <stueng> not*
[20:10] <vincenzo> when i move the mouse pointer or i try to do something
[20:10] <L3top> ActionParsnip: dejahnue, they cannot even get through an update, or installing drivers without dependency problems. I believe that the best course of action is a fresh sources.list, update upgrade and install
[20:10] <guntbert> !enter | vincenzo
[20:10] <shaneo> mainly concerned as this is related to my wifi drivers i believe
[20:10] <gapagos> Actionparsnip, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current still gives me the SAME error
[20:10] <vincenzo> the display brightness change to the max value
[20:11] <Darael> stueng: XBMCbuntu appears to be an XBMC project.  Try their channel?  (assuming they have one)
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: did you run the command list I gave earlier...
[20:11] <dejahnue> clean reinstalls can work wonders, if you have nothing important ondisk to lose
[20:11] <gapagos> Yes
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> dejahnue: or have good backups :)
[20:12] <vincenzo> anyone can help me?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> vincenzo: what make and model system?
[20:13] <Darael> stueng: Both #xbmc and #xbmc-linux are probably worth a try, if th'art still looking.
[20:14] <L3top> gapagos: last time... use the sources.list I created for you, replacing /etc/apt/sources.list  (back it up if you want to first with a mv), rm /var/apt/lists/lock; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates  (you can leave off the updates if you want, but it is a better driver). You do not need to add a PPA to get a driver that you have dependency issues trying to get from the repo.
[20:14] <stueng> thanks I have asked in the xbmc channel
[20:15] <dejahnue> gapagosgapagos, many's the time I've spent more than a week sorting out windows driver problems, so if you only spend a weekend on ubuntu you aren't doing too badly
[20:15] <L3top> gapagos: /var/lib/apt/lists/lock    sorry
[20:15] <gapagos> L3top too late man... I'm really done with Ubuntu.... I've tried over the years and have waited for it to get better
[20:15] <gapagos> I remember when I was actually really encouraged by the future of Ubuntu
[20:16] <L3top> Good luck then.
[20:16] <dejahnue> gapagos, at least try some other linux distro, not (shudder shudder) windows
[20:17] <gapagos> I even made this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z9Lplhve8U
[20:17] <gapagos> this was in 2007 when I actually enjoyed ubuntu
[20:17] <ikonia> gapagos: try to keep that stuff out of this channel please
[20:17] <gapagos> since then, stability / compability has gone downhill downhill downhill
[20:17] <ikonia> gapagos: it's a support channel.
[20:18] <gapagos> Linux was a fine project 5 years, ago, it's dead now
[20:18] <ikonia> gapagos: please stop
[20:18] <dejahnue> gapagos, are you still using the same hardware you were in 2007 when ubuntu was running well for you?
[20:18] <ikonia> gapagos: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support discussion, please try to keep to that
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: you do realize this is just one distro, why not try another..
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> dejahnue: I am :)
[20:18] <L3top> gapagos: I gave you the solution. This is not the place to voice grievances because you do not wish to apply it.
[20:19] <gapagos> ActionParnsnip, I tried mandrake, fedora and knoppix at the time they worked even less
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: wow mandrake, old school. Like it :)
[20:19] <ikonia> guys, gapagos can use what he wants, lets dump this, pleae.
[20:19] <matelot> Q: what does <primary> mean in Compiz ?
[20:19] <gapagos> I'm not using the same hardware,  but almost: same manufacturing companies, and my hardware has been released for 2 or 3 years it's not recent
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> matelot: in what sense?
[20:20] <matelot> ActionParsnip:  in keybinding
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> gapagos: if you don't like it, don't use it. Ranting here does noting
[20:20] <dejahnue> gapagos, there's you answer, revert back exactly to your 2007 hw and you should be fine
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> matelot: probably so you can assign 2 keys to the action...
[20:21] <gapagos> dejahnue, it's been donnated
[20:21] <stueng> vino is what provides "desktop sharing" right ?
[20:21] <matelot> ActionParsnip: http://i.imgur.com/qmFMa.png
[20:21] <reisio> stueng: basically
[20:21] <reisio> stueng: it's a VNC frontend, and that's what VNC does
[20:22] <stueng> reisio: ok.. so I have a ubuntu server build with xorg  installed but I do not have a dektop environment. I am struggling to understand how I can turn on desktop sharing
[20:22] <ikonia> stueng: you can't share a desktop you don't have
[20:22] <ceti331_> x server sharing?
[20:23] <ceti331_> x server without desktop environment ?
[20:23] <ceti331_> raw windows
[20:23] <stueng> yeah
[20:23] <stueng> I want to share the window
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> matelot: ahh, sounds like the mouse button to click with
[20:23] <stueng> I run "xserver xbmc" to launch XBMC
[20:23] <ikonia> stueng: doesn't work like that, you share a desktop (or at last manage the sharing via a desktop)
[20:23] <ceti331_> i think desktop sharing would work at that raw level
[20:23] <ikonia> stueng: the individual X windows are managed by the window manager,
[20:24] <ceti331_> its a protocol for bitmaps being viewed across the network
[20:24] <gapagos> bye and thanks for all your help
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> stueng: its not supported here
[20:24] <piihb> Anyone play LoL on Linux?
[20:24] <ceti331_> it doesn't care about the desktop environment - only the fact its a screen of bitmaps
[20:24] <reisio> stueng: you'd need a whole desktop to make it "worth" more than just ssh'ing
[20:24] <stueng> ActionParsnip: ubuntu server is supported here surely?
[20:24] <reisio> piihb: what's that/
[20:24] <ikonia> ceti331_: it will....but you need a desktop to share
[20:24] <stueng> reisio: basically, I want to send keyboard strokes accross the VNC protocol
[20:24] <ceti331_> why .. its just images surely
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> stueng: I though you were having issue with xbmcubuntu?
[20:25] <mr0wl> hey all
[20:25] <ceti331_> i dont know the details but this interests me,
[20:25] <mr0wl> i was wondering, how do i manually set the DPI in Ubuntu 12.04?
[20:25] <mr0wl> do i have to generate an xorg.conf?
[20:25] <piihb> reisio: It's a game. You can only download the Windows version. I want to know if anyone plays on Linux and if they do, how they do it - WINE or what?
[20:25] <stueng> ActionParsnip: I run ubuntu server but hte issue I am having would effect xbmcbuntu users  as well
[20:25] <ceti331_> I've settled on using synergy but i was looking for ways of using more screen real-estate from a laptop
[20:25] <Darael> stueng: Most people don't try to run a desktop on their server!  For a media-server, something like Myth, which is designed to have frontend and backend, would surely be better?
[20:25] <mr0wl> or should I try to use xrandr?
[20:26] <ceti331_> I've seen youtube videos where someone explains how to use low level x-windows on a server without desktop install
[20:26] <stueng> the reason I  chose ubuntu server is because I didnt want all the bloat that comes with desktop
[20:26] <ceti331_> e.g. they used 'xterm' with command line options to place it in the corners of the screen
[20:26] <stueng> I have managed to get xbmc running with only xorg and lightdm installed
[20:26] <stueng> its really quick
[20:26] <ceti331_> i can EASILY see that being useful, and more useful than just a raw console. e.g: you can have a few columns of text on a widescreen monitor
[20:26] <stueng> but now I need to send keyboard strokes to it, using the VNC protocol
[20:27] <ceti331_> have you tried using synergy
[20:27] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: Hello.
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: hi
[20:27] <ceti331_> i'm using synergy between mac, linux, windows
[20:27] <reisio> piihb: which game? A name like 'lol' will make it impossible to find
[20:27] <ceti331_> its fun
[20:27] <dejahnue> stueng, not every DE is bloated
[20:27] <piihb> reisio: .... google lol
[20:27] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: I've now tried with a different GPU, but still no luck. I'm really not at all sure what to do.
[20:27] <reisio> piihb: good luck
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> stueng: why not use the web interface, there is a sweet app for android and iphone to control it
[20:27] <Darael> stueng: I see.  Although a minimal install (from mini.iso or the alternate CD) would have done a better job of that, 'cos you've almost certainly got some things you're not using from the default server install.  I realise, though, that this isn't sorting what you're after.
[20:27] <ceti331_> Wanting to run graphics without desktop environment is perfectly reasonable
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: ask the channel like everyone else. i have NO idea what you are on about
[20:28] <stueng> Darael: problem with minimal install is I couldnt get it to boot from USB
[20:28] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: Don't worry, I was talking to you earlier.
[20:28] <piihb> reisio: The game is the first returned item in a Google search lol.
[20:28] <stueng> ActionParsnip: yeah the http interface works fine atm, its just that hipporemote requires the vnc protocol
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: I've drank and slept since then. I don't go about remembering everyone I talk to and every issue I discuss
[20:28] <reisio> piihb: is that really easier to type for you than "it's called league of legends"?
[20:29] <reisio> piihb: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10436 follow the instructions
[20:29] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: Okay
[20:29] <dejahnue> stueng, some DEs are very sparse
[20:29] <piihb> reisio: No, I just wanted you to know that it wouldn't be impossible to find :P
[20:29] <stueng> dejahnue: do you know which is the most sparse?
[20:29] <dejahnue> fluxbox maybe?
[20:29] <ceti331_> Window Manager, or Desktop environment? Fluxbox is a minimal Window Manager
[20:30] <dejahnue> or maybe windowmaker
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> +1 for fluxbox (not a DE, nor does it need one :))
[20:30] <ceti331_> agree +1 for fluxbox
[20:30] <reisio> piihb: impossibility was never the issue, wasting my time was
[20:30] <stueng> I can try that, it just seems unfortunate to have to install an entire DE just to enable "desktop sharing"
[20:31] <ceti331_> Fluxbox is not an entire DE. it is just titlebars to move windows around, and multiple desktops. handy shortcuts like mousewheel desktop switching
[20:31] <stueng> ok ill give that a go
[20:31] <ceti331_> it has a right click launcher menu too, and a window list title bar "hard coded" inside it, not a seperate dock-applicatiion
[20:31] <ceti331_> others are even simpler
[20:31] <ceti331_> WM2 is one of the simplest around
[20:32] <ceti331_> but a bit odd
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> flwm is super light
[20:32] <stueng> ok thanks, I better pay attention to whatever the gf is talking about  for a bit then ill try it :P
[20:33] <Jragon> When I try and boot up the Ubuntu live CD it gets stuck on the loading dots. When I click escape there is an error message that keeps popping up. udevb[175]: timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb1'. When I boot windows it gets to a blank screen with the cursor, then it reboots and tries again. I have also tried with Linux Mint 11, with Mint 11 it just goes to a black screen then resets. I have now tried with two GPUs and 4
[20:33] <Jragon> I have also tried resetting the jumper, but it dun work.
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[20:34] <Jragon> I checked the MD5 sum, and put it onto a USB as I don't have a cd drive.
[20:35] <prixon`> hello
[20:35] <prixon`> reisio, are you still here?
[20:35] <Darael> I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting, which doesn't have, eg, compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-switching options...
[20:35] <reisio> prixon`: ?
[20:35] <prixon`> s there a way to make super+D minimize all windows in 12.04 instead of ctrl+super+d?
[20:35] <reisio> yes of course
[20:35] <barcode> hi all, is there any software like macromedia dreamweaver on ubuntu
[20:36] <reisio> prixon`: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ubuntu%22%20%22win%2Bd%22%20show%20hide%20desktop
[20:36] <bazhang> !html | barcode
[20:36] <reisio> barcode: the WYSIWYG part?
[20:37] <reisio> http://w3fools.com/
[20:37] <barcode> yes I need WYSIWYG
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: could set it as a shortcut in CCSM, however if you have a lot of apps in the unity bar, the one assigned to D will run every time
[20:37] <XiRoN> hi
[20:37] <barcode> because netbeans not suitable for me
[20:37] <XiRoN> How do I initialise a SQLite database in ubuntu?
[20:37] <barcode> ok thhank
[20:37] <reisio> barcode: ubottu's msg pretty much sums up the state of affairs
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> !sql
[20:38] <dejahnue> q: there's supposed to be a cpu-temperature monitoring package, what was it called (I can't remember)
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> XiRoN: install mysql :)
[20:38] <reisio> barcode: probably the same as on any other distro: /join #sqlite
[20:38] <XiRoN> Nope I need SQLite
[20:38] <XiRoN> I need to initialise the database but dont know how
[20:39] <reisio> XiRoN: you could read the man page, or talk to #sqlite
[20:39] <vincenzo> ActionParsnip: i'm using Ubuntu 12.04
[20:39] <vincenzo> with an Asus K53SJ
[20:39] <Jragon> BTW: I'm using the GT440 GPU
[20:39] <prixon`> ActionParsnip, what do you mean "the one assigned to D"?
[20:40] <vincenzo> i've read around the web that is a common problem of ubuntu with laptops
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: if you hold SuperL a bit, you will see characters on the apps, if you have more than 9, it will use letters, one wil be named 'D' if you have a lot
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: have you tested your RAM
[20:41] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: I have. It works in my old desktop.
[20:41] <Darael> I upgraded to Precise, and now my keyboard layout settings seem to have no effect; everything's stuck in the system keyboard setting, which doesn't have, eg, compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-switching options...
[20:42] <prixon`> ohh, got you ActionParsnip. although some apps don't have a super+letter shortcut like system monitor or software  center
[20:42] <barcode> Kompozer is nice
[20:42] <barcode> thanks all
[20:43] <prixon`> so I have to install CCSM..? no other way around it?
[20:44] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to jump to a given terminal tab with a keystroke?
[20:45] <L3top> Ctrl Alt T  arooni-mobile
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: afaik, yes
[20:45] <L3top> I think...
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> arooni-mobile: You can use ctrl+alt+PgUp/Dn I think
[20:46] <prixon`> ok. O
[20:46] <reisio> arooni-mobile: ALT+# in a lot of GUI terms
[20:46] <prixon`> I'm installing ccsm. btw, why do I get this message: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[20:46] <prixon`>   compiz-plugins python-central
[20:46] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: Okay I just tried a different ram kit. Still nothing :S
[20:46] <prixon`> why aren't they authenticated?
[20:46] <reisio> arooni-mobile: if you were using 'screen' you could use CTRL+a, ", or CTRL+a, n
[20:47] <mortal1> has anyone ever mounted an encrypted drive remotely?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   sudo apt-get udpate
[20:47] <mortal1> I'm having a real problem accessing my old hd that has 10.04 on it
[20:50] <dejahnue> mortal1, what exact file system did it have?
[20:50] <mortal1> ext3
[20:50] <prixon`> ActionParsnip, here: http://pastebin.com/RhhWXvbz
[20:51] <dejahnue> ext3 can get corrupted pretty easy
[20:51] <mortal1> dejahnue: I can still boot from it
[20:51] <mortal1> i mean it's fine
[20:51] <barcode> hello bro, How to integrated Iphone with ubuntu especially on Music :?
[20:52] <dejahnue> what "mount" cmd line(s) have you tried?
[20:52] <reisio> barcode: pretty sure everything is installed by default for that
[20:52] <reisio> barcode: what seems to be the trouble?
[20:53] <barcode> hi reisio, actually software like itunes
[20:53] <Xunie> So I upgraded to 12.04 LTS a few days ago and now XFCE shows generic icons for almost everything and gedit's interface is mostly black. wtfuuu??
[20:53] <mortal1> I followed this guide: http://blog.gnu-designs.com/solved-howto-mount-an-external-encrypted-luks-volume-under-linux/
[20:53] <barcode> so i can backup or sync all the data
[20:54] <barcode> but, for now i try to synch all music on my dekstop to my phone ? have you try reisio?
[20:54] <dejahnue> oh it's encrypted. that's not so straightforward
[20:54] <mortal1> dejahnue: yeah tell me about it <facepalm/>
[20:55] <mortal1> I knew this was going to be complicated when I went to move to another lts
[20:55] <streulma> I have configured Windows on my notebook now
[20:55] <streulma> my question is
[20:55] <streulma> Should I install Ubuntu with wubi installer ?
[20:55] <streulma> or real dualboot
[20:55] <reisio> streulma: real
[20:56] <reisio> streulma: or better: pick one OS :p
[20:56] <dejahnue> encryption was after all created to foil people from just mounting someone else's harddrives
[20:56] <streulma> I must have Windows for some programs
[20:56] <streulma> the laptop is an ol done
[20:56] <reisio> streulma: which?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> streulma: I'd resize the NTFS and install a real install.
[20:57] <streulma> on my work notebook I have wubi
[20:57] <prixon`> where in ccsm can I change the minimize all to super+d?
[20:57] <streulma> it's not supported to install Ubuntu on the workpc :p
[20:58] <reisio> prixon`: somewhere (aren't GUIs fun!)
[20:58] <reisio> prixon`: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ubuntu%22%20%22win%2Bd%22%20show%20hide%20desktop
[20:58] <reisio> second time
[20:58] <streulma> wubi was the best thing to do
[20:59] <streulma> ok real dualboot then
[20:59] <streulma> but it prefers Grub as the main bootloader ?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: you see those long hex codes at the bottom of your paste
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: use those codes on the end of this command: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com CODE-HERE-DUDE
[21:01] <prixon`> ActionParsnip, the PPAs that I added? they don't relate to the packages I installed
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: you still need to import the keys or the package system will moan#
[21:03] <prixon`> ActionParsnip, I tried it, and that didn't fix the key error
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: do the PPAs they relate to support Precise?
[21:03] <prixon`> yes, they can support Precise
[21:04] <prixon`> it says: gpg: requesting key 3ACC3965 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
[21:04] <prixon`> gpg: key 3ACC3965: "Launchpad lffl" not changed
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: no Precise there dude: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu/dists/
[21:09] <ufrgs> hey guys, if I have a operational system programming doubt is there a specific channel to go?
[21:10] <prixon`> weird! I usually check them!
[21:11] <dejahnue> what kind of doubt?
[21:12] <prixon`> btw, CCSM>general options> key binding> show desktop
[21:13] <ufrgs> dejahnue, I want to figure if its possible to make a parent process hold for a chiel process to finish executing...
[21:13] <eccr-phoenix> what kernel version does 12.04 use?
[21:13] <xangua> !info linux | eccr-phoenix
[21:14] <prixon`> is there a shortcut for copy/paste in terminal? as ctrl+c ctrl+v don't function. so does ctrl+p
[21:14] <dejahnue> ufrgs, there might be a channel for general linux programming, but it wouldn't be ubuntu-specific
[21:14] <Cigue> Hey guys, I'm trying to set the proxy through the command line
[21:14] <Cigue> SOCKS host, more precisely
[21:14] <Cigue> how do?
[21:14] <eccr-phoenix> 'kay thanks.
[21:14] <wilee-nilee> prixon`, those are the keys.:)
[21:15] <wilee-nilee> ctrl+c ctrl+v at least on my setup
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: ctrl+shift+c/v
[21:15] <xangua> prixon`: contro+shift+c control+shift+v
[21:15] <xangua> wilee-nilee: prixon`you can change the setup in gnome terminal preferences
[21:16] <xangua> preferences-keyword combination
[21:18] <Darael> prixon`: As a little background, the reason is that those key combinations are in fact traditionally used for other things in the terminal.  Ctl+C, for example, is the interrupt key, and will (as the name suggests) interrupt most things if you press it while they're running in the active terminal window.
[21:19] <reisio> pfft
[21:19] <reisio> the background is they don't want to refer to the 'Windows key' in their docs
[21:20] <reisio> they should just refer to it as meta and get over themselves
[21:20] <reisio> for better or worse (better obviously) keyboards have a key there now instead of a useless empty space
[21:21] <kszonek_> quick question: i have ssh session running, any way to put running program into screen session? I need to reboot my desktop and dont want to stop ongoing simulation on the server (forgot to start it inside of screen)
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> kszonek_: use nohup
[21:21] <casper_>  has joined #ubuntu
[21:21] <guntbert> kszonek_: not after the fact (as far as I know)
[21:22] <kszonek_> yea, i thought so
[21:22] <Boohbah> casper_: welcome
[21:22] <kszonek_> nohup needs to be done used before too
[21:22] <casper_> welcome
[21:22] <guntbert> casper_:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:26] <prixon`> wilee-nilee, so why doesn't it work for me?
[21:27] <Brewster> Hi guys I need some help. I put my story in a pastebin so everyone can see it and so I can repeat it if anyone asks.
[21:27] <Brewster> http://pastebin.com/rCpZej3j <- there is the link
[21:28] <guntbert> !here | Brewster
[21:28] <OerHeks> prixon`, copy in terminal : klik mouse-wheel
[21:29] <Brewster> guntbert: you want me to use ubu paste instead?
[21:29] <prixon`> OerHeks, not working for me :( is there a keyboard shortcut?
[21:29] <Brewster> basically I want to copy windows to another drive
[21:29] <Brewster> then install ubuntu right next to it
[21:29] <xangua> (16:15:18) ActionParsnip: prixon`: ctrl+shift+c/v
[21:29] <daze> partition the big drive, install windows, install ubuntu, copy data somehow :]
[21:29] <guntbert> Brewster: no, I wanted you to tell us something about your problem :-)
[21:30] <Brewster> oh ok
[21:30] <Brewster> well here's my problem
[21:30] <Brewster> I don't have a windows install disk
[21:30] <Brewster> the only copy I have is already on the hard drive
[21:31] <daze> well, you can download the install iso and burn it
[21:31] <guntbert> Brewster: that looks like windows support - which we don't/cannot do here
[21:31] <Brewster> alright
[21:31] <Brewster> well thanks anyway
[21:31] <daze> http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-links/
[21:31] <master> !samba
[21:31] <Brewster> I was just hoping someone could point me to some drive cloning utility
[21:32] <Brewster> daze is that copy good?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Brewster: clonezilla
[21:32] <guntbert> daze: don't post such links here
[21:32] <daze> these are legal, if you have the serial number (should be a sticker on your laptop)
[21:32] <daze> :]
[21:32] <Brewster> I really don't want another worm
[21:32] <Brewster> oh right
[21:32] <daze> those are links to ms sites, I beleive
[21:32] <Brewster> I do have the serial
[21:32] <Brewster> sweet
[21:32] <Brewster> thanks daze
[21:32] <prixon`> ohh and now even the mouse wheel click works
[21:33] <reisio> booya
[21:33] <prixon`> thanks OerHeks ActionParsnip  and xangua
[21:33] <prixon`> is there a way to tweak those shortcuts as well?
[21:34] <xangua> (16:15:47) xangua: wilee-nilee: prixon`you can change the setup in gnome terminal preferences
[21:34] <xangua> (16:16:23) xangua: preferences-keyword combination
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> prixon`: which shortcuts?

[21:46] <graingert_ecs> Adonis: hurmmm...

[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: can the system ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:46] <graingert_ecs> Adonis: does it still happen on a liveCD?
[21:46] <Adonis> yes i can system ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:46] <Adonis> yes
[21:47] <wawowe> Adonis: what about <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: cool, ok try:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: then retry connecting to IRC
[21:48]  * ActionParsnip plays a drumroll
[21:48] <Adonis> brb
[21:49] <graingert_ecs> ActionParsnip: he should really set that through network manager
[21:49] <n0sq> i tried to install the i386 version of 12.04 onto a dell laptop (pentium-m) but i keep getting an error message of an incorrect cpu
[21:49] <Adonis> yes that worked!!!!
[21:49] <Eagleman> Hello, i've deleted my /etc/bacula and removed bacula, in the hope to get the config files back after a reinstall, but that didnt worked out. is there a way to get them back?
[21:49] <Adonis> what does that do?
[21:49] <graingert_ecs> Adonis: can you restore /etc/resolv.conf
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> graingert_ecs: its cheap and easy for now, the file is only generated when the connection becomes active
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: yep, your DNS servers your system gets via DHCP are junk
[21:50] <graingert_ecs> ActionParsnip: ah okay so reseating the ethernet will reset that file?
[21:50] <Adonis2> hello
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> graingert_ecs: indeed :)
[21:50] <graingert_ecs> Adonis2: reseat your ethernet connecte
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> Adonis2: howdy
[21:50] <graingert_ecs> r
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> Adonis2: get fully updated, should help
[21:50] <graingert_ecs> Adonis2: and give us that file "/etc/resolv.conf"
[21:50] <graingert_ecs> reseat == unplug and plug in
[21:51] <Adonis2> how to i give u that file?
[21:51] <graingert_ecs> pastebin?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> i love easy to remember DNS addresses
[21:51] <graingert_ecs> cat filename
[21:51] <graingert_ecs> is there a cli pastebin tool?
[21:51] <wawowe> pastebinit
[21:52] <wawowe> apt-get install pastebinit
[21:52] <Adonis2> ok do it now...
[21:52] <guntbert> !pastebinit | graingert_ecs
[21:52] <graingert_ecs>  cool
[21:52] <graingert_ecs> Adonis2: do what ?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf
[21:52] <Adonis2> its only got <IP_ADDRESS> in it???
[21:53] <graingert_ecs> Adonis2: did you reseat your ethernet cable?
[21:53] <Adonis2> im on wireless
[21:53] <graingert_ecs> okay power down your wifi
[21:53] <graingert_ecs> then power it back up again using the hardware switch on your laptop
[21:53] <wawowe> what's the point of reseting it?
[21:53] <ozpy> Hi guys. I need to modify my grub 2... I run "gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" but I can't modify it not even in administrator mode on.
[21:53] <graingert_ecs> or reseat the dongle
[21:53] <Eagleman> Hello, i've deleted my /etc/bacula and removed bacula, in the hope to get the config files back after a reinstall, but that didnt worked out. is there a way to get them back ( the default ones )?
[21:54] <graingert_ecs> Eagleman: sudo apt-get remove --purge bacula ?
[21:54] <graingert_ecs> then install it?
[21:54] <graingert_ecs> wawowe: it will restore his resolv.conf and we can come up with a longterm fix
[21:54] <TPBEurope> Ubuntu doesn't let me change the resolution to a different aspect ratio. How do I fix that?
[21:54] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope: what is your graphics card?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Adonis2: get fully updated, there may be an updated to network manager
[21:55] <Eagleman> graingert_ecs doesnt work
[21:55] <ozpy> Hello. I need to modify my grub 2... I run "gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom" but I can't modify & save  it not even in administrator mode on.
[21:55] <graingert_ecs> Eagleman: really hmm
[21:55] <wawowe> graingert_ecs: service networking restart would too
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> ozpy: try:  gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[21:55] <graingert_ecs> wawowe: reseating requires less sudo commands
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> ozpy: or:  sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[21:55] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope: ?
[21:55] <master> Eagleman: what the problem with your bacula
[21:55] <Eagleman> the only thing that could work is to reinstall ubuntu and put another 7 hours of time in it, thats a no go
[21:56] <graingert_ecs> one sec
[21:56] <Eagleman> it gave an error so i deleted my /etc/bacula folder
[21:56] <Eagleman> and after a reinstall it didnt came back
[21:56] <Adonis2> as in update ubuntu?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Adonis2: yeah
[21:56] <TPBEurope2> I'm using the nvidia drivers if that helps.
[21:56] <wawowe> as far as making it last could add it to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[21:56] <OerHeks> Eagleman, Bacula configuration files are located in the /etc/bacula directory, so they are gone
[21:56] <Adonis2> ActionParsnip, Ok
[21:56] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: you'll need to use the nvidia-settings tool
[21:56] <Eagleman> i know, but i want to get the default ones back
[21:56] <ozpy> actionparsnip: thanks man. Let me try it
[21:57] <Eagleman> but i have no idea how
[21:57] <TPBEurope2> It still doesn't let me do it. :/
[21:57] <arooni-mobile> hey folks; trying to make god (ruby) start: using http://openmonkey.com/blog/2008/05/27/god-init-script-for-debian-ubuntu-systems/ .. i did; but nothings happening
[21:57] <master> Eagleman: lol, a bit drastic, bacula is a bit bitchy to configure imo, have you tried to after purge remove to user dpkg to reconfigure ?
[21:57] <Eagleman> there wasnt usefull information in those conf files anyway
[21:57] <graingert_ecs> Eagleman: /usr/share/doc/bacula-common/examples/
[21:57] <Eagleman> like dpkg --force-confmiss -i bacula-server_5.2.5-0ubuntu6_all.deb?
[21:58] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, It just offers 5:4 resolutions.
[21:58] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: use nvidia-autoconfigure
[21:58] <RockDawg> Linux newb having a problem with networking.
[21:58] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: pick "Resolution: Auto"
[21:58] <RockDawg> Using 11.04
[21:58] <TPBEurope2> command not found
[21:59] <graingert_ecs> RockDawg: upgrade to ubuntu 12.04
[21:59] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: sorry that's the option in the metamode, just use nvidia-settings and choose "Auto" as your rez
[21:59] <guntbert> !details | RockDawg
[21:59] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: please screenshot and imgur this screen
[22:00] <streulma> +++++++++++++++++
[22:00] <guntbert> graingert_ecs: don't suggest updating without any knowledge about the problem
[22:00] <graingert_ecs> guntbert: I do know the problem
[22:00] <nacnud> hi..does anyone know of a way that I can make grep case insensitive by default? A ".ini" file or maybe an environment variable? Thanks.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> RockDawg: though about using a newer release?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> nacnud: grep -i    will make it (i)nsensitive to case
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> nacnud: you could add the switch to the grep alias already in ~/.bashrc
[22:01] <guntbert> graingert_ecs: you surprise me :) because he only said two sentences
[22:01] <nacnud> ActionParsnip...thanks for that. I found that one, but I was really looking to make -i the defaul situation. Is the best way to just createa BASH alias?
[22:02] <wawowe> nacnud: yes
[22:02] <nacnud> Okay, that's a job for the morning. I was hoping there'd be a .grep_rc file or something. Fair enough. Cheers for your help.
[22:02] <Dr_Willis> you make an alias, then you get messed up when you go to a differnt system that dosent have the same alias. ;)
[22:03] <c0n> hello, i've got a problem with /usr/share/menu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008797/
[22:03] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: http://i.imgur.com/GVQpd.png
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> nacnud: sure, there is already an alias, just add the extra switch in the quotes
[22:03] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, It'll go blank since it will configure the wrong res.
[22:03] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: auto should not "go blank"
[22:03] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: and are you getting any EDID?
[22:03] <TPBEurope2> It does, though.
[22:03] <wawowe> nacnud: echo "alias grep='grep -i'" > ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc
[22:03] <RockDawg> Running 11.04 browsing the local network is unreliable.  Changing /etc/nsswitch.conf so that wins is before dns on the hosts: line works, but then internet browsing is really slow.  Moving dns ahead of wins on that line fixes internet problem but my LAN problems then return.  How do I satisfy both?
[22:03] <graingert_ecs> when on auto?
[22:03] <TPBEurope2> EDID?
[22:04] <wawowe> nacnud: don't do that actually
[22:04] <wawowe> nacnud: mistake*
[22:04] <nacnud> Dr_Willis....aye...embrace and extend...I'll take my chances...thanks. Cheers folks. Peace.
[22:04] <wawowe> nacnud: echo "alias grep='grep -i'" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc
[22:04] <nacnud> wawowe..does it not need >> ?
[22:04] <TPBEurope2> Can I just set it manually?
[22:04] <nacnud> at least?
[22:04] <nacnud> yeah, the append.
[22:04] <wawowe> nacnud: yea >>
[22:04] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: you can but it will just go blank
[22:04] <RockDawg> I'm on 11.04 because it's Pinguy and I only see a 11.04 version
[22:04] <graingert_ecs> your card may not support it
[22:04] <nacnud> No worries, I'm cool with that. Thank you for your work :) I will sort it out :) Great shout.
[22:04] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, It does.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> nacnud: remember to run:  source ~/.bashrc     to reload it :)
[22:05] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, So does the monitor, it's just that I don't know how to make a custom res in nvidia-settings.
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> now.. how could my networking go down in such a way that i no longer can lookup addresses like google.com, but IRC stays connected here.. and i just somehow restarted networking via the NM applet. and did not get hung up here....
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> Been having this 3 times today.
[22:05] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: you can edit the x config before it hits the disk
[22:06] <xunie-laptop`> Installing 12.04 LTS from USB, I've got a separate /home partition that I've selected in the formatting window, now I can't deselect the "Encrypt my home folder" option and 'ubi-usersetup failed with exit code1'.
[22:06] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, Can you explain?
[22:06] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: see where it says show preview?
[22:06] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: got hit by the new resolv -mechanism?
[22:06] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: copy that preview into gedit
[22:06] <xunie-laptop`> I tried entering a new user (so that no such home folder exists for it already) and ubi-usersetup keeps failing.  Thanks very much folks. And i learned about the "source" command too. Thanks again. Great. I'll pass along whatever I know. All the best. night, fromthe UK.
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  not sure. seems like after a few hrs or so - dns lookups fail.  nslookup google.com failed, but  i selecxted wireless network 1, in the NM applet and it did 'somthing' and then started working
[22:07] <guntbert> !language | xunie-laptop`
[22:07] <OerHeks> RockDawg, yes, but pinguy is not supported here, AFAIK .. their website is old http://pinguyos.com/  so please download ubuntu 12.04 more fun
[22:07] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, Hold on a sec.
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> hmm. my nameserver in resolv.conf is set to <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:07] <sirknight> hi
[22:07] <RockDawg> New to all this.  I figured since it's based on Ubuntu I could ask here.
[22:08] <TPBEurope2> where is show preview, graingert_ecs?
[22:08] <graingert_ecs> Dr_Willis: lol, go and have a look in network manager
[22:08] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: of course, existing connection will not be bothered by a filed DNS lookup
[22:08] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: click save to x configuration file
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  i restarted networking. :) that should have reset my irc connecton
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> RockDawg: yeah none of the 'Ubuntu based' distros are supported here
[22:08] <TPBEurope2> Okay.
[22:08] <TPBEurope2> I did. I see it now.
[22:08] <graingert_ecs> Dr_Willis: are you adonis?
[22:08] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: correct, dnsmasq is now providing a service
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> I got diffent dns servers set in the network manager applet., then is showing in resolov.conf
[22:09] <ozpy> actionparsnip: how to save it? there
[22:09] <ozpy> s no such option in the menu
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> isent dnsmasq also supposed to help in finding the samba servers on the lan?
[22:09] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: upload it to gist https://gist.github.com/
[22:09] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf will show it is just a link
[22:09] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: and tell me the res you want
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> ozpy: in nano? press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER
[22:09] <graingert_ecs> ozpy: you know you can press tab after typing some part of someones nick
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: didn't know that :)
[22:09] <graingert_ecs> ozpy: this will save typing it all
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  its not showing as a link here.
[22:10] <Dr_Willis>  ls -l res*
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root   48 May 26 12:43 resolv.conf
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> now whats with those permissions....
[22:10] <graingert_ecs> waht
[22:10] <graingert_ecs> do you have some sort of rootkit...?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008806/
[22:10] <EliahKagan> normally a rootkit would *keep* you from seeing that...
[22:10] <RockDawg> I did try Ubuntu 12.04 first and I had the same problem.  Switched to another distro to see if it helped.  It didn't.  How can I fix it if I co back to Ubuntu?
[22:10] <graingert_ecs> ActionParsnip: why is it lrwxrwxrwx
[22:10] <ozpy> actionparsnio: thanks pal. Now keeping the fingers crossed
[22:10] <graingert_ecs> ?
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> graingert_ecs: its a link, so it will be 777, the actual access is stored on the file linked to
[22:11] <graingert_ecs> hmm
[22:11] <ozpy> graingert_ecs: thanks pal
[22:11] <graingert_ecs> so you can change the link?
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> graingert_ecs: l == link ;)
[22:11] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: so you apparently overwrote it (or maybe it didn't get changed during uppgrade)
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  i did a clean install.. i wonder if i may  have done some tweaking in network manager to fight my wireless a few weeks/month back when the release just came out.
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> not using my wireless card any more
[22:12] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, I'd like 1280x768 (5:3); https://gist.github.com/913e5d9531ba73ac1349
[22:12] <graingert_ecs> RockDawg: so what's the issue with networking?
[22:13] <EliahKagan> it's normal for it to look like that, as ActionParsnip says, it's a link, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1008809/
[22:13] <graingert_ecs> TPBEurope2: https://gist.github.com/13e9eb972e04ee82cf4f
[22:13] <RockDawg> Running 11.04 browsing the local network is unreliable.

Moving dns ahead of wins on that line fixes internet problem but my LAN problems then return.  How do I satisfy both?
[22:13] <ozpy> ActionParsnip, i was installing Android 4.0 in my laptop. Grub 2 needed to be modified. All ok now
[22:14] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, Okay, where do I save it now?
[22:14] <alankila> android on laptop is possible now?
[22:14] <Eagleman> Since bacula isnt working out, i;m looking for another backup program, all it needs to do is backup my server, exclude some folders, restore using some rescue cd ( like the windows solution )?
[22:14] <RockDawg> Sorry, my last post was for graingert_ecs
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> ozpy: nice
[22:14] <OerHeks> alankila sure, try it in Vbox
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> alankila: there are install CDs around :)
[22:14] <ozpy> alankila, yeah http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/how-to-dual-boot-android-x86-and-ubuntu.html
[22:14] <alankila> just curious. Not going to install it anytime soon yet.
[22:15] <ozpy> I hate that Google Currents is not available in Google Chrome Market. So many cool apps
[22:15] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, The X configuration, I mean.
[22:16] <graingert_ecs> my admin has turned off my box remotedly
[22:17] <Cerrdor> well its official
[22:17] <Cerrdor> chrome is almost amazing
[22:18] <graingert_ecs> Cerrdor: it's all about chromium
[22:18] <Cerrdor> yeah
[22:19] <TPBEurope2> graingert_ecs, excuse me, but it's asking for a path for that file.
[22:19] <Cerrdor> just installed it in buntu and now all my desktop bookmarks etc are just here
[22:19] <Cerrdor> pretty nifty
[22:20] <dune> hi, my hp printer does not work. it isnt recognized as usb-device. it should work out of the box. what can i do? i used hp-setup.
[22:20] <TPBEurope2> Does anyone know where the X config file for nvidia is supposed to be saved?
[22:21] <wawowe> TPBEurope2: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:21] <Cerrdor> dune, lsusb
[22:21] <Cerrdor> does it show it there?
[22:21] <dune> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:032a Hewlett-Packard
[22:21] <Cerrdor> so its werkin
[22:21] <TPBEurope2> Do I need to restart X or whatever?
[22:21] <wawowe> TPBEurope2: yes
[22:22] <Cerrdor> what does it say when you try to print something?
[22:22] <dune> i cant add it. its not in cups
[22:22] <TPBEurope2> How?
[22:23] <L3top> TPBEurope2: I would reboot. nVidia does a strange battle with nouveau for the frame buffer
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> L3top: could blacklist nouveau ;)
[22:26] <TPBEurope> I have to be doing something wrong about that resolution.
[22:26] <TPBEurope> It still won't show the custom one I set up.
[22:26] <hobbie> has someone expierience with processor context corrupt on ubuntu 11.10
[22:26] <melkor> I'm using gnome-shell, is there a way to make dialogs moveable?
[22:26] <L3top> The nvidia driver does that on install, but it still has hold... that is why the installer cant deal with X active, and requires a reboot. Even modprobing doesn't address it properly... it is really just best to reboot
[22:27] <L3top> ActionParsnip: ^
[22:27] <wawowe> TPBEurope: is the contents in that link the only thing you put in xorg.conf?
[22:27] <TPBEurope> Yeah.
[22:27] <wawowe> TPBEurope: may need a modeline
[22:27] <herpladee> hey guys
[22:27] <TPBEurope> Can you make it work?
[22:28] <L3top> TPBEurope: dropping out of X, and running nvidia-xconfigure will build a proper xorg.conf, then you can add whatever you are trying to do to that.
[22:28] <dune>  GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
[22:28] <dune> when i start hp-setup
[22:28] <dune> error: No devices found on bus: usb
[22:28] <L3top> TPBEurope: what ARE you trying to do btw?
[22:28] <herpladee> i'm sitting here doing absolutely nothing and i had 1.4gb space (i know because it warns me every time i turn on my computer) but now it suddenly gave me another warning that i only have 0.8gb left ... how do i find out what suddenly took up 0.6gb of space on my computer when i'm doing absolutely nothing but browsing wikipedia and using irssi?
[22:28] <TPBEurope> nvidia is going crazy
[22:29] <TPBEurope> It's showing I can run 1440x900 on this monitor.
[22:29] <TPBEurope> Which I can't.
[22:29] <L3top> herpladee: probably in /var/log  something bad is probably dumping a lot of verbose stuff to logs
[22:29] <TPBEurope> But it still applied something and switched the resolution.. What the heck?
[22:29] <L3top> TPBEurope: if you just inserted an xorg.conf you found online, that is not all that surprising
[22:30] <joe42> hey can any body please help me copy a photo into the usr/share/backgrounds folder?
[22:30] <TPBEurope> L3top, there was that option to begin with.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> joe42: gksudo nautilus $HOME
[22:30] <Cerrdor> joe42 open terminal sudo nautilus
[22:30] <L3top> how is this connected to your monitor TPBEurope? What interface?
[22:30] <Cerrdor> ActionParsnip, or that lol
[22:30] <TPBEurope> I have no idea.
[22:31] <herpladee> L3top, can i delete those logs?
[22:31] <wawowe> TPBEurope: you should make your own  xorg.conf with: Xorg -configure
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Corey: gksudo for gui apps dude
[22:31] <L3top> herpladee: they might be helpful figuring out what is going on... but yes.
[22:31] <richard___> where would Wine error messages be logged to?
[22:31] <wawowe> TPBEurope: then cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:31] <TPBEurope> This is insane.  Does nVidia detect the highest possible resolution or what?
[22:33] <wawowe> TPBEurope: yeah
[22:33] <dune> cerrdor yes
[22:33] <L3top> TPBEurope: your monitor sends EDID data, and the card reads and displays at whatever the EDID indicates, at your selection
[22:34] <TPBEurope> Okay, so that means..?
[22:34] <saint> hello
[22:34] <L3top> What is your problem TPBEurope, I am not sure what you are trying to fix.
[22:34] <Cerrdor> dune does it let you start hp-setup? Or just when you choose usb it gives you the error?
[22:34] <wawowe> TPBEurope: after you generate your xorg.conf add this to the monitor section: Modeline "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
[22:35] <TPBEurope> Dude, I'm running a resolution on a screen that can't handle anything above 1280x1024 yet it displays it only in Ubuntu.
[22:35] <mbutubuntu> I've installed a package {badPackage} (not from official repo) that has "corrupted" my apt-get system! apt-get -f install asks to remove packages I don't want remove (packaged installed voluntarily by me and not by package dependencies). Is there any way to remove the {badPackage} without its *fake* dependencies?
[22:35] <dune> cerrdor, i can start hp-setup
[22:36] <L3top> So the display is not what you expect it to be, or it is malformed on your screen meaning you have to scroll or it appears corrupt TPBEurope?
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> mbutubuntu: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get -f install     please
[22:36] <Cerrdor> pick one dune either here or PM I cant do both lol
[22:37] <wawowe> TPBEurope: and in the screen section under Depth add: Modes "1280x768"
[22:38] <TPBEurope> Is it really possible that it's running it even though the hardware doesn't support it? Can I check to make sure which res it is.
[22:38] <wawowe> TPBEurope: if it's happening then the hardware supports it.. just not well
[22:38] <herpladee> rollin'
[22:39] <mbutubuntu> ActionParsnip, https://gist.github.com/d110e051e20e9def605a - I'm on 10.04
[22:39] <TPBEurope> It wouldn't have displayed it in the options if it didn't support it, right?
[22:39] <L3top> because the hardware does not claim to support it does not mean the hardware can not run it TPBEurope. Chances are the boards which run the display were made for multiple models... but the EDID data does not lie, advertizing does.
[22:39] <wawowe> TPBEurope: use xrandr -s 1280x1024
[22:39] <wawowe> TPBEurope: if you don't need the modeline for that other resolution
[22:40] <TPBEurope> I wonder if I can enable this on Windows.
[22:40] <TPBEurope> I really want 1440 x 900 on Windows :P
[22:40] <L3top> If he is running an xorg.conf now wawowe I dont believe xrandr changes will work
[22:40] <L3top> It defaults to xorg.conf IF xorg.conf exists
[22:41] <TPBEurope> Is there a chance the monitor may blow up? :P
[22:41] <L3top> I would also not think that modlines would be necessary, just set resolution under screen options defaults
[22:42] <wawowe> TPBEurope: if xrandr -s 1024x1024 doesn't work you can xrandr --addmode
[22:42] <Eagleman> How do i spin down my hardisk after 2-3 hours idle?
[22:43] <TPBEurope> wawowe, What does that do exactly?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: there's an option in power options I believe
[22:43] <wawowe> TPBEurope: changes display resolution
[22:43] <mbutubuntu> ActionParsnip, solved with dpkg -r --force-depends (from http://askubuntu.com/a/32899)
[22:44] <TPBEurope> Size 1280x768 not found in available modes
[22:44]  * L3top does not understand this quest for worse resolution
[22:45] <wawowe> TPBEurope: xrandr --newmode "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> mbutubuntu: sweet :)
[22:46] <wawowe> TPBEurope: xrandr --addmode LVDS "1280x768"
[22:46] <wawowe> TPBEurope: xrandr --addmode LVDS "1280x768_60.00"
[22:47] <donvito2> what do i need to add to boot.ini in windows xp , so grub2 will load?
[22:47] <jagginess> donvito, i think you need to do a chainload to grub.. there's easybcd app which may help..
[22:47] <TPBEurope> xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[22:47] <TPBEurope> xrandr: cannot find output "LVDS"
[22:47] <mbutubuntu> ActionParsnip, :-)
[22:47] <jagginess> donvito, oh wait.. this is xp
[22:48] <jagginess> donvito, it'll be better to use grub2
[22:48] <wawowe> TPBEurope: type xrandr by itself
[22:48] <jagginess> donvito, grub2 can chainload xp
[22:48] <donvito2> but first shows boot.ini
[22:48] <donvito2> not grub2
[22:48] <donvito2> i want to make grub2 shows first
