[14:35] <c2tarun> is there anyway to completely remove empathy integration from Ubuntu message drop down from notification area?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> verzx: 0trace isn't in the main repo
[14:36] <verzx> ActonParsnip: I know I have added the backtrack 5 repository of which all of them programs are in that repo. :)
[14:36] <llutz> carpediembaby: you might look at "parallel" to speed up grep a bit
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> verzx: not sure how suported that is here if you add the repo for backtrack, can anybody clarify please
[14:36] <cprofitt> alfirus: does your pc manufacturer allow you to disable in bios?
[14:36] <nearst> !ask
[14:37] <alfirus> cprofitt, checking it now
[14:37] <verzx> ActionParsnip: You want the repo that I added?
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> verzx: it doesn't interest me
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> verzx: can you see the difference between the files?
[14:38] <verzx> ActionParsnip: Ok then, nevermind I guess i'll try and ask others.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> verzx: why would I need to know the repo? as long as the packages are available it will install....

[14:40] <Malsasa> Hello, how to use dpkg for distinguishing netbeans debs from all debs in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> Malsasa: ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep -i bean
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> Malsasa: maybe....
[14:41] <Malsasa> ActionParsnip: thank you, I will try
[14:41] <Pici> Malsasa: What are you trying to accomplish?
[14:42] <liefer> Im recording audio using 'rec' and/or 'arecord', but the recorded audio contains a ton of noise. What can i do to avoid this noise? It seems like i cannot solve it with the encoder, the noise is added before that (in Pulse?)
[14:42] <Malsasa> Pici: i wanna take my debs for netbeans to my anoter Ubuntu machine
[14:43] <Malsasa> Pici: so i can sudo dpkg -i * without downloading again
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> Malsasa: that'll do it :)
[14:44] <alfirus> it shows "graphic device" with option switchable graphics and UMA graphic
[14:44] <Malsasa> ActionParsnip: I have do it. It just list what named *bean*, not tracking dependencies. I wanna track dependencies for netbeans. But thank you for piping. It is advanced.
[14:45] <alfirus> i forgot who asked me regarding my bios just now... damn
[14:45] <Pici> !aptoncd | I think aptoncd might track dependencies
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Malsasa: dpkg -I filename.deb
[14:46] <Malsasa> ActionParsnip: i'll try
[14:46] <cprofitt> alfirus: I did
[14:46] <alfirus> cprofitt, it shows "graphic device" with option switchable graphics and UMA graphic
[14:46] <cprofitt> alfirus: try setting it to UMA
[14:47] <alfirus> cprofitt, after that?
[14:47] <alfirus> means i don't need to use the script anymore, rite?
[14:47] <cprofitt> I believe that will make only the intel graphics card on
[14:47] <cprofitt> no more script or antyhing
[14:47] <cprofitt> that is what I do with my machine

[14:49] <alfirus> just like that? (bang my head with mouse)
[14:49] <Malsasa> ActionParsnip: it is my result No packages found matching pdftk_1.44-4build1_i386.deb. whereas that deb is exist in /var/cache/apt/archives. What another option?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Malsasa: man dpkg     will tell you :)
[14:51] <cprofitt> alfirus: yes, but when the bios is set with that option you will only be able to use the Intel graphics
[14:51] <alfirus> cprofitt, according to http://geek.co.il/wp/2012/02/19/nvidia-optimus-on-ubuntu-12-04/comment-page-2 command, is there anything i need to revert back?

[14:51] <cprofitt> which is sufficient unless you want to play games that require high powered graphics
[14:51] <Malsasa> ActionParsnip: THANK you, TKP!
[14:52] <cprofitt> if you need your nvidia grahpcis you would need to change the bios setting... and then load the nvidia driver

[15:10] <warmonkey> hello everyone, i'm new here
[15:11] <nearst> hi warmonkey
[15:11] <leetdood> i try to protect a process from oom killer and this comes up
[15:11] <leetdood> echo '-17' > /proc/9049/oom_adj
[15:11] <leetdood> -bash: /proc/9049/oom_adj: Permission denied
[15:11] <leetdood> does anybody know how i can fix this?
[15:11] <Pitel> I need help... I've packard bell netbook with intel atom n2600... and it does not boot to lightdm login. Also, replacing "quiet splash" with "text" in grub ends with black screen. booting recovery mode does not let me modify any files... so how the fsck should I fix it?!
[15:12] <e66> I am getting "Starting crash report submission daemon                                                                                [fail]" message during boot. How to fix it?
[15:12] <warmonkey> well i reached here in 5 yrs ago when i was middle school grade eight
[15:12] <warmonkey> i thikn you need sudo
[15:12] <Pici> leetdood: echo '-17' | sudo tee /proc/9049/oom_adj
[15:12] <ezhilvanan> which eclipse version is best for android development on ubuntu?
[15:12] <warmonkey> leetdood, use superuser for your operation
[15:13] <e66>  No idea
[15:13] <e66> ?
[15:13] <warmonkey> ezhilvanan, i think you need newest version
[15:13] <warmonkey> latest
[15:14] <ezhilvanan> i'm using latest version of Eclipse. But it is not working well.. it is getting hang
[15:14] <warmonkey> try to check permission for adk
[15:15] <ezhilvanan> warmonkey, yep
[15:15] <leetdood> warmonkey/pici: thank you very much! warmonkey's advice to use su worked for me
[15:15] <warmonkey> or use terminal to start eclipse in verbose mode or debug mode or sth else, so you can get more information about the error
[15:16] <warmonkey> to see what cause it stopped
[15:16] <Malsasa> Hello all, it is good with apt-cache depends pbuilder (pbuilder is exist in my cache along all its dependencies) but it is just a little to my goal.

[15:17] <c2tarun> is there anyway to completely remove empathy integration from Ubuntu message drop down from notification area?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> c2tarun: uninstalling EMpathy should do it
[15:18] <Haris> Hello all
[15:18] <Haris> I just setup a 12.04lts 64bit box. I forgot the normal user/pass that's made through setup. Is there a way for me to re-set that user or root's pass ? The other option would be to rebuild this box. centos has an option to reboot the box in single user mode. The rescue mode. Where one can re-set the root pass. Do we have such an option with Ubuntu
[15:18] <warmonkey> try to config gtk-panel? use gtk properties config
[15:19] <c2tarun> ActionParsnip, ok, one more thing plz, what is difference between "sudo apt-get remove --purge package-name" and "sudo apt-get remove package-name && sudo apt-get autoremove"
[15:19] <warmonkey> Haris, use another os to edit /etc/passwd
[15:19] <escott> Haris, during setup it will ask you for the username password. you forgot that
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> c2tarun: the second command has no purge, so the configs outside of /home will stand
[15:20] <escott> warmonkey, you should never be editing /etc/passwd directly
[15:20] <Haris> warmonkey: that's not possible. I'm 10000 miles away. This box is sitting in a DC. I have kvm, apc to control it through
[15:20] <c2tarun> ActionParsnip, what do mean by configs outside of /home will stand?
[15:20] <escott> Haris, you boot into single user mode or chroot into the system
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> c2tarun: stuff in /etc and so on
[15:20] <Haris> escott: so configure grub to boot into single user mode the same way its done on centos ?
[15:20] <c2tarun> ActionParsnip, if we purge all the stuffs will be removed and autoremove will not be able to do it?
[15:20] <Haris> add the word 'single' at the end of 'the' line in grub options ?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> c2tarun: it will also show in the output of:  dpkg -l    as 'rc' and you will need to run:  sudo dpkg -P packagename   to clean
[15:21] <escott> Haris, i believe that will work. there may already be a entry for it
[15:21] <warmonkey> purge = remove all configurations
[15:21] <escott> Haris, possibly called rescue
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> c2tarun: autoremove just removes the uneeded deps
[15:21] <Haris> ok, let me give this a go
[15:21] <warmonkey> purge can make all config info fully cleared
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> escott: oooh, didnt know that :)
[15:22] <mhsbec> Hil... Can anybody tell me how to install NCTUns in ubuntu?
[15:22] <warmonkey> single user login need root passwd...
[15:22] <c2tarun> ActionParsnip, sounds like --purge is good option, any particular reason why it is not the default behavior?
[15:22] <warmonkey> so you need another os to change passwd
[15:22] <Bktt> I changed my users passwd and now i cant remember. Is there any way to recovery it?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> warmonkey: there is no root password, nor do yo uneed it
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> mhsbec: http://wiki.ehas.org/index.php?title=How_to_install_NCTUns_in_Debian/Ubuntu
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> warmonkey: if you want to become root, just run:   sudo -i
[15:23] <nearst> delete user and adduser :O
[15:23] <warmonkey> ActionParsnip: try sudo passwd -h
[15:23] <escott> !recovery
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Bktt: boot to root recovery mode and run:    passwd foo
[15:24] <warmonkey> see how to change passwd for a specficed user
[15:24] <escott> !single
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> warmonkey: sudo passwd foo
[15:24] <ericmcray> hello guys. i have 250GB Hdd which has 2 partition and 2 OS (win7 and ubuntu12). i bought a new 1TB hdd and i want to move win7 partition to new hdd. is it possible via ubuntu?
[15:25] <c2tarun> I found this page: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/   and it appears that it is pretty easy to break into someone machine with ubuntu installed.  I used to use sudo command with my own
[15:25] <Bktt> Root
[15:25] <escott> Haris, as ActionParsnip pointed out its called "recovery" mode during the boot menu
[15:25] <rob_p_> https://acc.esohtn.com/start?id=0.27866198142482157
[15:25] <linux> asd
[15:25] <linux> asd
[15:26] <escott> Bktt, so you boot recovery and select "root shell" and then run "passwd yourusername"
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Bktt: passwd foo   not just passwd
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Bktt: replace foo with your username
[15:26] <warmonkey> ericmcray, try dd directly copy and use tools to expand partitions to fill 1TB
[15:27] <c2tarun> also there  is an official page to guide if you forgot password. :P https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[15:27] <ericmcray> what is dd?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> ericmcray: a way to copy data from one device to another bit by bit
[15:28] <ericmcray> warmonkey: what is dd?
[15:28] <Bktt> Actionparsnip: but what i do when the system asks me for the root password for maintenance?
[15:28] <escott> Bktt, it wont
[15:29] <ericmcray> ActionParsnip: is there any software for that?
[15:29] <escott> ericmcray, yes its called "dd"
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> ericmcray: for what?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Bktt: then you have set the root password which is not supported here
[15:29] <warmonkey> ericmcray: try dd to copy a harddisk to another bit by bit or use ghost or other tools to clone hdd, then expand that
[15:30] <escott> ericmcray, also keep in mind you should only use dd to copy unmounted partitions
[15:30] <Haris> ok
[15:30] <Haris> I have the recovery menu infront of me
[15:30] <escott> Haris, there should be a root shell option
[15:30] <Haris> I have the option to drop to root shell. From there I can do this
[15:30] <warmonkey> if sudo works, use passwd command, search howto use passwd and you'll get solution to change another user passwd
[15:31] <ericmcray> thank you guys!
[15:31] <ericmcray> im gonna try it
[15:31] <warmonkey> principle is, if you are root, you can change other one's passwd as you like
[15:34] <Haris> I have a problem changing password. Its the kvm. when I type something on kvm, it sometimes multiple times duplicates the character that is typed
[15:34] <Haris> is there another way to change the passwd
[15:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> anyone with experience creating .desktop launchers?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> ntzrmtthihu777: yes
[15:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> ActionParsnip: I have been looking at the xpm format (pretty cool, actually), but needa know about multiple-sized icons.
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> ntzrmtthihu777: all I do is copy ones from ~/.config/autostart   and edit it :)
[15:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> ActionParsnip: I have .png of sizes from 16-256, and realize that they usually go in /usr/share/pixmaps/, but how would I arrange for it to have the right sized icons? (I use gnome-fallback, so i wanna make sure it works in the gnome menu)
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> ntzrmtthihu777: you can use absolute paths for the icons if you want
[15:39] <ubuntuu5er> hello
[15:39] <ubuntuu5er> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s_9Djnri8A
[15:39] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, there is a whole spec for the icons which is distinct
[15:40] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, if the icon is properly named you shouldnt have to do anything it should just pick the correct one
[15:40] <Capprentice> install a icon set like faenza icons.
[15:40] <k1l> ubuntuu5er: you have an actual support issue?
[15:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: please elaborate.
[15:40] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
[15:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: I'm creating my own custom launchers.
[15:40] <ubuntuu5er> k1l, sry not english ..
[15:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: many thanks
[15:41] <Capprentice> How you are creating launchers ? possibly using .desktop files
[15:41] <k1l> ubuntuu5er: dont just advertise your videos in here.
[15:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: yes
[15:41] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, if not that then try this http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
[15:41] <Capprentice> so if you install an icon se you will just get whole bunch of new icons. Most of the icons we use come from the hicolor folder in /usr/share/icons
[15:42] <Capprentice> so if you install icon set you will get more varities there.
[15:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: using elementary for the most part
[15:42] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, " So, you're an application author, and want to install application icons so that they work in the KDE and Gnome menus. Minimally you should install a 48x48 icon in the hicolor theme. This means installing a PNG file in $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps. Optionally you can install icons in different sizes. For example, installing a svg icon in $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps means most desktops will have
[15:42] <escott> one icon that works for all sizes. You might even want to install icons with a look that matches other well known themes so your application will fit in with some specific desktop environment.
[15:42] <escott> It is recommended that the icons installed in the hicolor theme look neutral, since it is a fallback theme that will be used in combination with some very different looking themes. But if you don't have any neutral icon, please install whatever icon you have in the hicolor theme so that all applications get at least some icon in all themes. "
[15:42] <ubuntuu5er> k1l, sry.
[15:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: I don't need more icons. I have installed ms office via playonlinux and am integrating those applications into the gnome menu
[15:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: so I dont have to open playonlinux and then, say, excell
[15:44] <Capprentice> When you install I think the menus are automatically created. I have once insalled MS office 2007 on wine and the menus were automatically created. I was using Unity though.
[15:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: so it will resize one icon to match the locations it is used?
[15:44] <ubuntuu5er> k1l, video is useful ..
[15:45] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, it is supposed to pick the closest size and then resize that. there are various rules about the whole process
[15:45] <Capprentice> are u saying that alt+f2 then write excel and excel will run ?1
[15:45] <k1l> ubuntuu5er: then blog about it. this is a support channel where we solve problems and dont advertise stuff.
[15:45] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, as an icon designer you can either provide an svg icon which will be scale independent
[15:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: playonlinux disables winebuilder (what makes the menu), so thought I *had* a wine menu (removed it) they would not show up there. even were I using only wine I would still do this to better integrate.
[15:46] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, or provide multiple bitmaps at different sizes
[15:46] <Eksit> ;o
[15:46] <ubuntuu5er> k1l, okey :)
[15:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: no, but under playonlinux you can do alt+f2 playonlinux --run "Microsoft Excell 2010" and it will run.
[15:47] <yousaf> hi all
[15:47] <yousaf> anyone familar with Rackspace?
[15:47] <ikonia> yousaf: in what relation to ubuntu ?
[15:47] <ikonia> Capprentice: I strongly advise you not to try to use wine type functions for anything you depend on
[15:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: yes, I already have multiple png icons extracted from ms .ico files.
[15:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: what I am wondering is where to stick them.
[15:48] <Capprentice> I was checking how wine works. I dont like to use MS tools on Linux. I have Windows for that :) Thanks for the suggestion though.
[15:48] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, in directories or the relevant size
[15:48] <ikonia> Capprentice: a wise choice, use the platform the applications where designed to run on
[15:48] <Eksit> ^ that
[15:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> ikonia: sometimes that is not always an option ;(
[15:49] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, s/or/of/
[15:49] <ikonia> ntzrmtthihu777: that doesn't change what I said
[15:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: I got that.
[15:49] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, so what is the question then
[15:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: your info was sufficient, thankyou.
[15:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> ikonia: nor does it change what I said.
[15:50] <Capprentice> How you are putting my name in this chat box ? I suppose you guys are not typying down my name here. Where I can learn about how Xchat or any other IRC works ?
[15:50] <ikonia> ntzrmtthihu777: .....of course it doesn't
[15:50] <ikonia> Capprentice: the #xchat channel can teach you about how to use xchat
[15:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: type the first few letters then hit tab
[15:50] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  wow ! it works. Thanks
[15:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: if its the wrong name tap it again.
[15:51] <nearst> o0o
[15:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: you can do the same in terminal, type the first few letters of a command/file/directory and tab to finish it.
[15:53] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: so I would want to add these files into my current theme for them to show correctly?
[15:54] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  yes it works! i did not knew these. Thanks again.
[15:54] <Ohad> Anyone knows how I can run a program on startup?
[15:54] <Capprentice> Ohad,
[15:54] <Capprentice> use autostart
[15:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: its very usefull if you use terminal alot, like me (using irssi in terminal right now to talk to ya'll)
[15:55] <yousaf> ikonia installing PHP, Apache etc
[15:55] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, the launcher specifies a filename for the icon something like "programname.png" (right?) and then the theme engine knowing the size it wants searches all the directories for the best matching /usr/share/icons/hicolor/$SIZE/apps/programname.png
[15:55] <ikonia> yousaf: how does rackspace change it from the standard procedure ?
[15:55] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, ie you should not have to worry about the size. just populate the directories with a file of the same name in each
[15:56] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777, itz very cool. I dont like terminal much though.
[15:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: ahah, so highcolor would be where to put them? again, I am using elementary.
 I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on arm, there is no such command...
[15:56] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, hicolor is the default hicolor theme
[15:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: if I understand right if there are no icon for something in my current theme it defaults to highcolor?
[15:57] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, a disabled person might be using a hicontrast theme, but they will fall back to hicolor if one cannot be found in hicolor
[15:57] <Capprentice> Ohad,  there is no such command. I was talking about the "start up programs" you can find it under your user name. Click on there and see there is a entry for tat.
[15:57] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, it cascades first on size, then on theme name
[15:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: fascinating.
[15:58] <Capprentice> Ohad, im rite now sitting on fedora so cant tell u the xact what is there. nut just click ur user name. search there. you will find it.
[15:58] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, and there are various subtleties regarding svg, but generally an app icon is exclusively offered in svg or bitmap, but not both
[15:58] <Capprentice> what kind of format is XPM ? is it a bitmap kind of format ?
 thanks, i'm searching...
[15:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: xpm is a text file
[15:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: in essense it is ascii art
[15:59] <escott> but it is a bitmap
[15:59] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777, text file ?!!! i have xpm images on my hicolor folder !!!!!!
[15:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: try opening one with gedit, you will be in for a treat ;)
[15:59] <escott> Capprentice, its a bitmap (but editable in a text editor)
[16:00] <Capprentice> well u can open svs images too that way.
[16:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: what is an svs
[16:01] <Capprentice> SVG sorry.
[16:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: ah. xpm is more "readable", if I recall.
[16:01] <Haris> oops, wrong ubuntu room
[16:02] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, SVG is vector graphics. very different from a bitmap
[16:02] <mefistofeles> hey I can't set my screen brightness on a toshiba mini (with driver gma500), any ideas? I tried using acpi_backlight=vendor boot parameter and it didnt work
[16:03] <raj> why can't I do `sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0`?
[16:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: it is all like curves and lines described mathmatically, right?
[16:03] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, yes
[16:04] <k1l> raj: shsow the error message please (in a pastebin)
[16:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: whereas xpm is "this pixel is this color, the next one is that color, ect" right?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> raj  type sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0|pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see
[16:05] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, you draw a circle in SVG and scale it up and up and it remains circular, you blow up a circle of a bitmap and you start seeing the blockiness of the pixels
[16:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: gotcha. are you aware of any way to convert png to svg and get these benefits?
[16:06] <Haris> 1x box rebuild avoided
[16:06] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, not good ones, and its not necessarily better
[16:06] <pierreN> hi
[16:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: k. thank you again.
[16:06] <unborn> virtualbox in ubuntu repos broken eh
[16:07] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, with icons they have found that what works best is generally to start with an SVG, and then tweak it at each size (adjusting line width, removing elements for small images, adding detail for large images) and then creating a fixed size bitmap image
[16:07] <davis776> how to check disk usage? external disk never goes stand by
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> davis776  df -h
[16:08] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, otherwise you have to compromise on the details and have an SVG that only looks good at intermediate images sizes
[16:08] <k1l> davis2042: lsof
[16:08] <Capprentice> use disk usage analyser if u prefer gui.
[16:08] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, or its like the gorilla theme, which has a minimalistic appeal to it at all sizes
[16:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: ahh, I see. so since I am fortunate enough to already have the icons in many sizes.
[16:09] <unborn> davidcalle, if you need simple one gparted
[16:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> unborn: ^ +1
[16:09] <davis776> MonkeyDust, Capprentice not this type of usage, I mean some kind of read/write activity (I enabled this http://i.imgur.com/7MKAxdQ.png but never goes to stand by)
[16:09] <pierreN> i'm trying to mount an usb3 external hard drive (just bought it), i mount it correctly, but i can't read any directories except "System Volume Information". here is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/HcieTEZP anyone has a clue please ?
[16:09] <davidcalle> unborn, wrong target :)
[16:10] <unborn> davidcalle, why? :)
[16:11] <davidcalle> unborn, because I believe you wanted to say this to davis776, not me
[16:11] <unborn> davidcalle, ah my bad man i am sorry heh you are right
[16:12] <davidcalle> unborn, np ;)
[16:12] <unborn> davis776, use gparted for simple thing
[16:12] <unborn> davidcalle, i didnt mean to bother you heh its just auto-complete you know
[16:13] <davidcalle> unborn, i know, happens to me all the time, especially in these crowded channels :)
[16:14] <k1l> !lsof | davis776
[16:14] <k1l> davis776: lsof is the program you need
[16:15] <Capprentice> How to get screen saver on Ubuntu 12 ? What does Project M do ?
[16:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: would you think its better to shrink an existing icon or grow? not all sizes are represented with my current collection of icons.
[16:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver
[16:16] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  do I need to make some special configurations ? How do i activate it ?
[16:16] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, you dont have to populate all the directories
[16:16] <Avinash1> Hello ..
[16:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: I like to cover my bases ;)
[16:16] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, if you dont populate all the algorithm will pick the closest and use that
[16:16] <Capprentice> Avinash1,  hello !
[16:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> ahhh
[16:17] <escott> ntzrmtthihu777, if you want more control over that, then you can optionally populate all sizes by making a choice as to which looks best
[16:17] <raj> why can't I do `sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0`?
[16:17] <Avinash1> Capprentice: :)
[16:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: unless we get more info from you we cannot answer your question
[16:17] <Capprentice> raj: What does this package do ? is there any such packages ?
[16:17] <Capprentice> Girl ?!!
[16:17] <raj> MonkeyDust, that api for pastebinit has been disabled
[16:18] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: then use paste.ubuntu.com manually
[16:18] <elijah> What is the Ubuntu dev # name?
[16:18] <raj> http://paste.ofcode.org/byuTXrV77UyEVMhdKEKV6e
[16:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: try just girl
[16:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: and then try tab-completion
[16:19] <Pici> ntzrmtthihu777: its gir1, not girl
[16:19] <raj> there are like a 1000 under gir1
[16:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: well you're gonna have to chose one.

[16:20] <raj> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gir1.2-gstreamer&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[16:21] <raj> i'm not sure which release
[16:21] <raj> maybe 12.04
[16:21] <raj> 11.10
[16:21] <raj> something like that
[16:21] <ntzrmtthihu777> raj: holy crap it comes with alot of depenencies
[16:21] <Pici> raj: What does lsb_release -r say?
[16:21] <pierreN> anyone has a clue please ?
[16:21] <ntzrmtthihu777> Pici: my bad, monospaced fonts will do that to you
[16:21] <raj> Pici, 1..04
[16:21] <raj> 11.04
[16:22] <k1l> !eol | raj
[16:22] <Pici> raj: 11.04 is no longer supported. It went end of life in October of last year.
[16:22] <raj> so the package manager doesn't have access to the latest packages?
[16:23] <Pici> raj: So the repositories are effectively offline for you. And the latest packages will not be available.
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> raj: install WIndows 95 and try and get Windows updates. Same situation
[16:26] <odaer> a green tree with yellow marschmallows, that is the future
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> I thought the future was orange..

[16:34] <alfwed> hi

[16:34] <DJones> !steam | devtekbeta You'll probably get a reasonable response in this channel,
[16:35] <mojtaba> I guess it has got virus
[16:35] <devtekbeta> thanks
[16:35] <mojtaba> how can I fix it?
[16:35] <MonkeyDust> a virus?
[16:35] <alfwed> does someone use ubuntu 11.04 here?
[16:35] <mojtaba> Does anybody know the answer?
[16:35] <Pici> alfwed: 11.04 is no longer supported.

[16:37] <alfwed> 11.04 isn't supported but yet it's the only stable version i've found so far
[16:37] <raj> what do I need to sudo apt-get to get X on my ubuntu-server?
[16:37] <k1l> alfwed: you know its not supported anymore and is a security risk, but you ask for support?
[16:38] <mojtaba> My USB disk is write protected, does anybody know how can I format it?
[16:38] <mojtaba> Help!
[16:38] <Capprentice> how it is write protected ? is there any switch to do that ?
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  is there a physical on/off switch on the usb stick?
[16:38] <k1l> mojtaba: usually stuff gets mounted read-only if there is a hardware problem. so see the dmesg log
[16:38] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: no
[16:38] <alfwed> i just wanted to find someone who's using 11.04
[16:38] <alfwed> that's all :)
[16:39] <mojtaba> k1l: How can I do that?
[16:39] <k1l> alfwed: not in here, its the official support
[16:39] <k1l> mojtaba: type "dmesg" and scroll up the terminal
[16:39] <alfwed> ok. is there another channel for unofficial support?
[16:40] <mojtaba> k1l: Can I pastbin it here?
[16:40] <k1l> mojtaba: use pastbin and show the link in here. then people can have a look what the error is
[16:40] <Capprentice> mojtaba,  take a screenshot  and show it.

[16:42] <Stdedos> I try to boot my kernel but I get "ALERT! /dev/disk/ ... does not exist."

[16:44] <Capprentice> Any one using Cadence or KX studio ?
[16:44] <k1l> im not quite sure if that is enough to start a xsession
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: make sure no partitions on it are mounted
[16:44] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: I have umount it
[16:45] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: what is the next step?
[16:45] <Stdedos> I try to boot my kernel but I get "ALERT! /dev/disk/ ... does not exist."
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: make sure no partitions on it are mounted

[16:47] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: gksudo gparted
[16:47] <Capprentice> Select the partition you want to format, then select format as - ntfs, fat 32 ext4 anything u want.
[16:47] <frame45> @Stdedos can you boot from a usb drive?
[16:47] <Stdedos> I can boot from another kernel

[16:47] <Stdedos> that's not my problem

[16:48] <llutz> Stdedos: did you compile your own kernel? what kernel fails?
[16:48] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: Can't write to /dev/sdc, because it is opened read-only.
[16:48] <Stdedos> llutz: Yeah, I need to for my uni project
[16:48] <mojtaba> It gave this alert
[16:48] <Stdedos> llutz: but while everything runs smoothly, my kernel cannot boot
[16:49] <llutz> Stdedos: so how do you expect us to fix your kernel
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: if you right click it, can you do stuff with it?
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: is it not the CD drive?
[16:49] <mojtaba> AcitonParsnip: NO, it is the USB disk
[16:49] <mojtaba> I am sure
[16:49] <mojtaba> It does not allow me to format it
[16:49] <elijah> I have Nautilus set to always execute *.sh files, but now it doesn't open in terminal so I can see the progress. Any ideas?
[16:49] <Stdedos> llutz: I only removed packets, so maybe you could tell me what should be compiled in order to mount

[16:53] <mojtaba> Stdedos: how can I do that?
[16:53] <frame45> @mojtaba will gparted not work?
[16:53] <mojtaba> frame45: no, it just said it is read-only
[16:53] <oliverp> Isn't this the weirdest error ever? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5596453/ What has smbd to do with dhclient?
[16:53] <Stdedos> mojtaba: well, is it hardware forced or software
[16:54] <llutz> oliverp: nothing, its just a general example text
[16:54] <mojtaba> Stdedos: I am not sure, but there are some odd files with unusual names.
[16:54] <oliverp> llutz: So, what is wrong? :/
[16:54] <Capprentice> format the usb. Insert the usb -> open gparted -> unmount the usb in gparted -> format as fat 32
[16:54] <mojtaba> I guess it has got a virus in windows
[16:54] <llutz> oliverp: have you even read that text?
[16:55] <SunilJoshi> tr
[16:55] <oliverp> llutz: I missed the "e.g." :-)
[16:55] <Stdedos> llutz: frame45, can you think of something?
[16:56] <oliverp> So I should not invoke dhclient like that? (?)
[16:56] <mojtaba> does anybody know how can I force a usb disk writeable?
[16:56] <frame45> @mojtaba I think Capprentice is right you need to destroy the partition and then make a new one and format as FAT32
[16:56] <llutz> oliverp: yes, "sudo service dh....."
[16:56] <Stdedos> mojtaba: use gparted for that
[16:56] <mojtaba> frame45: could you please tell what should I do? I am a newbie
[16:56] <mojtaba> Stdedos: gparted do not work
[16:57] <Stdedos> error message?
[16:57] <frame45> @mojtaba open gparted let it scan and find the usb, select and delete the partition, then create a new partition and format it as FAT32,
[16:58] <mojtaba> frame45: I did it, but it says it is read-only and can not do that.
[16:58] <oliverp> llutz: There is no such service. I've always invoked dhclient like that before, to force a new dhcp request. How do I make a dhcp request (manually) without invoking dhclient directly? :-)
[16:59] <frame45> @mojtaba is there a hardware switch on your usb?
[16:59] <Capprentice> mojtaba,  I suppose u use windows. There is tool called Rufus. Try that. That might be able to forcefully format ur usb dive.
[16:59] <mojtaba> frame45: No, it is just a simple one with no switch
[16:59] <mojtaba> Capprentice: I am in ubuntu 12.10 now
[16:59] <llutz> oliverp: idk, i'd call dhclient also direct. do you have dhclient3 too? try that
[17:00] <oliverp> llutz: Ok, thanks. Yeah i've tried that too. I'll search some more. :)
[17:00] <llutz> oliverp: btw what ubuntu-version are you using? i didn't get that message on my 12.10
[17:00] <oliverp> 12.04 LTS
[17:00] <Stdedos> anyone knows where other ubuntu support threads reside?
[17:01] <oliverp> llutz: the error also said "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" - Maybe I need to delete some dhcp-lease-files?
[17:01] <cronus> oliverp, maybe this message is network-manager related
[17:01] <oliverp> cronus: ok, i'll look into that
[17:02] <oliverp> don't think I have network-managger

[17:02] <frame45> mojtaba, did you unmount the partition first?
[17:03] <mojtaba> frame45: Yes
[17:04] <mojtaba> frame45: what should I do after that?
[17:05] <frame45> mojtaba, select the partition so it has the dotted line around it, then clcik Partition from the menu at the top and select delete; is that when it's giving you the read-only error?

[17:08] <mojtaba> frame45: It says it is unable to open it.
[17:08] <mojtaba> and do not let me check it.
[17:08] <Capprentice> yes adblock plus works on Chromium and GoogleChrome. Go to adblockplus.org and install the addon from there.

[17:26] <ccallahan> Hello! I have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 that has a UEFI BIOS. When I try to install Ubuntu using my USB mouse and keyboard, it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse. The BIOS will use them. GRUB will use then (when I try to install in UEFI mode). The Ubuntu pre-boot menu will use them. But when the GUI loads up, it just doesn't want to use them. I think it's
[17:26] <ccallahan> a kernel issue, and I was wondering if there are any flags I can throw at it.
[17:28] <ccallahan> The disk is Ubuntu 12.10x64.

[17:32] <alfirus> hello, i read Full Circle Magazine #65. in Q&A section, editor mentioned jupiter can be use to cool our pc/laptop. however it seems jupiter facing error during installation (http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/04/fix-laptop-overheating-problem-in.html), do anyone know how to install this? if this jupiter 'out of service', is there any other similar? by the way i'm using Ubuntu 12.
[17:33] <llutz> elijah: naa, not quoting everthing, just try calling your script with full path
[17:33] <jrtappers> Can I add comments to .ssh/authorized_keys so I can label which key is which?
[17:34] <Fare> how do I find which library provides xdrstdio_create ? I'm trying to compile gcl, and it can't find it. the symbol is defined in rpc/xdr.h which is part of the libc6-dev package (ubuntu 12.04LTS), but for i in $(dpkg -L libc6-dev | fgrep '.a') ; do echo $i ; nm $i 2> /dev/null | grep xdrstdio_create ; done shows it's used by libnsl.a but not provided by anyone

[17:37] <anon_2> sorry
[17:37] <xangua> !java | Krustyklimber
[17:37] <lunitik> Krustyklimber: sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin
[17:38] <Fare> llutz, looks like gnulib has the documentation for the function, but no library with it
[17:40] <davidsloan> Do I ask support questions here?
[17:40] <lunitik> !ask
[17:40] <Pici> davidsloan: Yes
[17:40] <anew> so i am trying to set up sendmail... what do i put for smtp server ?
[17:40] <billkd> anew : where are you sending mail from?
[17:40] <anew> from my server
[17:41] <billkd> anew: localhost or <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:41] <Fare> looks like I'm hit by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1130452
[17:41] <anew> thanks
[17:41] <llutz> anew: why on earth are you using sendmail? :)
[17:41] <anew> dunno i am using a codeigniter library
[17:41] <anew> and the options are sendmail or smtp
[17:41] <billkd> anew: then use smtp
[17:41] <Krustyklimber> lunitik, thanks that worked !!! :)
[17:41] <anew> is that better? ok then i will have a couple more questions
[17:42] <anew> what is my smtp user and pass ?
[17:42] <billkd> anew: it's more direct and so you don't have to use that insecure piece of crap. Yes, go ahead with questions
[17:42] <billkd> anew: does your server require authentication? What smtp package are you using?
[17:42] <anew> ok smtp host is still <IP_ADDRESS> then
[17:42] <anew> hmm i dont know i will have to read about this first before i ask questions then
[17:43] <anew> is smtp - postfix ?
[17:43] <billkd> anew: yes
[17:43] <billkd> anew: then if you use default config user and password are blank

[17:43] <anew> do i have to uninstall sendmail to use postfix ?
[17:44] <rogier> #list
[17:44] <billkd> anew: no
[17:44] <billkd> anew: sendmail is the client, postfix is the server.
[17:44] <anew> cool let me give shit s ago then
[17:44] <rogier> is there a command to get the channel list
[17:44] <llutz> anew: if you just want to send mails out, i'd suggest using ssmtp/msmtp instead of a full featured mail-server

[17:45] <davidsloan> I am very new to Linux and just built my first computer. I'm running a dual boot with Windows 7.  Motherboard is GA-78LMT-S2P, and LAN is Atheros/Realtek GbE. I am connecting through my router (on another computer of course) via wire. Windows 7 finds the connection fine, Ubuntu does not. Light in back does not even come on...
[17:45] <rogier> !alis
[17:45] <alfirus> thanks MonkeyDust.
[17:45] <Pici> rogier: no, read what ubottu said about alis
[17:45] <billkd> davidsloan: ubuntu version?
[17:45] <MonkeyDust> rogier  type /msg alis list *blah*
[17:46] <davidsloan> 12.10
[17:46] <elijah> llutz: Still same thing = gnome-terminal -e ~/bin/clear-p7-cache.sh
[17:46] <billkd> davidsloan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:46] <elijah> llutz: This does the same =>  gnome-terminal -e "~/bin/clear-p7-cache.sh"
[17:47] <alfirus> well, it looks like the maintainer also 'out of service'. Any other similar like jupiter, MonkeyDust?
[17:47] <lunitik> billkd: Why are you telling him to install codecs and stuff when he has a networking issue?
[17:47] <elijah> When assigning this to a keyboard shortcut => gnome-terminal -e "~/bin/clear-p7-cache.sh" OR gnome-terminal -e ~/bin/clear-p7-cache.sh BLAH I get this error http://ubuntuone.com/3z8xqHhlJGWxsqwIY3eIAW
[17:48] <afflicto-laptop> Using pidgin, I remember being able to respond directly in the notify popup, but I'm not able to now. Am I missing something? (using Gnome shell)
[17:48] <davidsloan> It said... unable to fetch some archives
[17:48] <billkd> davidsloan: sudo apt-get update first
[17:48] <billkd> davidsloan: oops sorry forgot you didn't have network
[17:48] <elijah> It does appear that gnome-terminal is not using any of my aliases or $PATH
[17:49] <lunitik> afflicto-laptop: In Gnome Shell that is the default action of Empathy, you can see if extensions.gnome.org has the same for pidgin (it does, but I don't remember the name of it, just search there for pidgin)
[17:49] <billkd> davidsloan: try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and tell me what happens
[17:49] <afflicto-laptop> lunitik: k I'll try that thanks :)
[17:49] <anew> root and postmaster mail recipient
[17:49] <anew> can i leave this blank ?
[17:50] <billkd> anew: yes or specify an administrator's email in form user@domain
[17:50] <anew> if i leave it blank what is it sent to ?
[17:50] <davidsloan> ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[17:50] <anew> root@domain ?
[17:50] <billkd> anew: I think it sends to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>by default
[17:51] <billkd> davidsloan: do you know the kernel module that your wifi card uses?
[17:51] <anew> will leave it blank i think that's best ?
[17:51] <billkd> anew: or specify the server admin's email
[17:51] <davidsloan> Not sure what that means.
[17:51] <llutz> anew: enter a user of that system who gets those mails. root doesn't read mails
[17:51] <billkd> anew: for I think anacron reports and things like that
[17:51] <lunitik> afflicto-laptop: Note that Gnome Shell has built in messaging, and so you don't actually need a client... just go into the settings and configure online accounts, then searching the overlay thing for contacts tells you if they're online.
[17:52] <escott> davidsloan, sounds like the driver (what we call a kernel module) for your network device is not working correctly. can you identify the chipset with lspci or lshw
[17:52] <billkd> davidsloan: what wifi card do you have?
[17:52] <escott> billkd, davidsloan said he was using the ethernet connection
[17:52] <nearst> howdy
[17:52] <davidsloan> Not setting up wifi.
[17:52] <anew> shoot already passed that step
[17:53] <anew> well let me test it out
[17:53] <anew> to send an email i just :
[17:53] <lunitik> davidsloan: throw the output of lspci onto paste.ubuntu.com please
[17:53] <anew> mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:53] <davidsloan> Not sure what that means.. sorry guys..
[17:54] <billkd> davidsloan: OK do this :
[17:54] <anew> hmmm damn i'm in the body of the emil but how do i send it now
[17:54] <billkd> anew: I think a . on its own line
[17:54] <jhutchins_wk> davidsloan: People tend to not make the connetion between "I'm trying to set up networking" with "that means I can't cut and paste to the internet".
[17:54] <anew> nope
[17:54] <billkd> OK type in the following commands
[17:54] <lunitik> davidsloan: hit the windows key, type 'term' and fire up the terminal... type 'lspci | grep -i net' and tell us what it says
[17:55] <jhutchins_wk> davidsloan: So what you actually need to do is use lspci -nn and figure out which line pertains to your ethernet chipset, then copy that line here.
[17:55] <jhutchins_wk> davidsloan: Or just the eight character identifier.
[17:55] <anew> weird it says . by itself like u said but it's not working
[17:55] <afflicto-laptop> lunitik: yea I know but pidgin is better for me as I use skype + irc :P
[17:55] <llutz> anew: "enter dot enter"
[17:55] <lunitik> afflicto-laptop: I didn't know pidgin supported skype... hm
[17:56] <anew> llutz i'm just stuck with no prompt
[17:56] <jhutchins_wk> anew: In the mailx program (mail), you end the text by hitting Ctrl-D
[17:56] <anew> ah ok that work
[17:56] <anew> but not sure if it sent
[17:56] <siracs> hi
[17:56] <afflicto-laptop> lunitik: apt-get install pidgin-skype :)
[17:56] <jhutchins_wk> anew: It will either ask you for a CC or it will queue the message.  /var/log/mail.log may show you what it did.
[17:57] <davidsloan> lspci | grep -i net: command not found
[17:57] <anew> cool off to var/log/mail then
[17:57] <rogier> When i boot up my laptop the back light is set to 0. This is not very nice cause it looks like the laptop is broken. Off course you can see if you turn it up using the fn keys. How do i set it so that it's on when i start it?
[17:57] <billkd> rogier: every laptop has different ways of changing the backlight. What model do you have?
[17:58] <siracs> i have a problem with the "VGA Arbiter" .. i have no DRI cause of it "(WW) R128(0): Direct rendering is not supported when VGA arb is necessary for the device  /  (EE) R128(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed.  Disabling DRI."
[17:58] <lunitik> afflicto-laptop: apt-cache show pidgin-skype says it works with libpurple, which telepathy uses for most protocols, and thus telepathy-kde and empathy would work with it.
[17:58] <siracs> what can i do?
[17:58] <jhutchins_wk> llutz: The single period on a line is useful when testing with a telnet connection to the mailserver.
[17:58] <lunitik> afflicto-laptop: ie, it doesn't actually need pidgin itself
[17:58] <anew> Mar  8 17:52:09 barcelona postfix/master[14865]: fatal: bind <IP_ADDRESS> port 25: Address already in use

[17:58] <afflicto-laptop> lunitik: you lost me.. :P
[17:59] <rogier> billkd: HP pavilion
[17:59] <escott> siracs, buy a new computer
[17:59] <billkd> anew: do you have another smtp server besides postfix installed? Or another server that uses port 25?
[17:59] <jhutchins_wk> anew: Sounds like your mailserver isn't set up yet.
[17:59] <billkd> rogier: try this : sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools
[17:59] <anew> billkd not sure, it is possible
[17:59] <anew> how can i uninstall all previous mail servers
[17:59] <llutz> jhutchins_wk: i'm using heirloom-mailx. there the . works as desired

[18:04] <anew> is sendmail - smtp ?
[18:04] <billkd> anew: apt-get remove sendmail
[18:04] <anew> i should uninstall sendmail
[18:04] <lunitik> davidsloan: would recommend wired connection to set it up though
[18:04] <escott> siracs, you dont need dri for your proposed usage
[18:04] <billkd> anew: yes, apt-get remove sendmail and then try using mailx with postfix
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> rogier  my first repsonse was correct, but if you want to pm someone, ask first if you're allowed to
[18:05] <davidsloan> I'm pretty lost...

[18:06] <billkd> [rogier] I think
[18:06] <siracs> escott: it would be nice to get a faster deskop .. only 2d but that would be ok with me
[18:06] <lunitik> davidsloan: Stop trying to understand, just do what the link says. You will need a wired connection to follow the steps though, then you can have wireless once the steps are completed.
[18:06] <rogier> [MonkeyDust] Like this/
[18:06] <rogier> [billkd] like this

[18:07] <rogier> Do you have a laptop with wire to share the wifi?
[18:07] <lunitik> ntzrmtthihu777: He can learn later, I want it to actually work first.
[18:07] <siracs> davidsloan: plug your computer directly into your router, maybe it's not comfy but you need it only to setup wireless
[18:07] <lunitik> rogier: Your system doesn't have a NIC? You lack cables? Why can't you use wired?

[18:15] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: I have tried gparted
[18:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: very strange. did you unmount it first?
[18:15] <Capprentice> ccallahan|mIRC,  hmm yes.
[18:15] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: Yes I did.
[18:15] <ccallahan|mIRC> Hello! I have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 that has a UEFI BIOS. When I try to install Ubuntu 12.10 X86_64 using my USB mouse and keyboard, it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse. The BIOS will use them. GRUB will use then (when I try to install in UEFI mode). The Ubuntu pre-boot menu will use them. But when the GUI loads up, it just doesn't want to use them. I think it's a kernel issue, and I
[18:15] <ccallahan|mIRC> was wondering if there are any flags I can throw at it.
[18:16] <lunitik> ntzrmtthihu777: one of them is a meta-package, I don't want to have to tell him to seek every dep etc
[18:16] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: I guess a virus in windows makes it write protected.
[18:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: would not matter.
[18:16] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: do you what should I do?
[18:17] <billkd> mojtaba: from a gnome-terminal try fdisk /dev/sdxx
[18:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: you try formatting it on a windows machine?
[18:17] <anon_2_12_04> i don't like my wlan icon. it looks the same if i'am connected, try to connect or not. is there another solution? use ubuntu 12.04
[18:17] <billkd> mojtaba: then o then w
[18:17] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: It did not allow me to format it in windows
[18:17] <Capprentice> mojtaba,  hey man i was telling u pls pls try using an win machine to format that usb.
[18:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: what is the make and model of the usb stick
[18:17] <Capprentice> it will work. Use rufus.
[18:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: I just said that, and he said it does not work.
[18:18] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: I could not format it in windows.
[18:18] <Xchatnova> hola
[18:18] <Xchatnova> D:
[18:18] <mojtaba> I have not windows machine now by the way
[18:18] <Xchatnova> saludos!
[18:18] <Xchatnova> :D
[18:18] <FloodBot1> Xchatnova: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: How can I find it?
[18:18] <ntzrmtthihu777> !es | Xchatnova
[18:19] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: how should I find the model?
[18:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: should be written on the stick somewhere
[18:19] <Xchatnova> gracias ubottu
[18:19] <Xchatnova> =D
[18:19] <Xchatnova> bye!
[18:19] <anew> so should i try restartingthe whole thing ?
[18:19] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: It is not clear.
[18:20] <mojtaba> ntzrmtthihu777: Do you know what should I run to format it?
[18:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: well short of me having it in my hand I can't work with this small amount of info.
[18:20] <davidsloan> I'm still here.  It mightbe able to forcefully dlete everything within it.
[18:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba: I was gonna suggest dd'ing a big file onto it.
[18:24] <escott> mojtaba, the only write protected usb flash i have ever heard of is u3, and the best practice is usually just to throw those in the trash
[18:24] <kallep> anyone who have exp in moving a mysql database to external hdd?
[18:25] <mojtaba1> escott: Do not you know how can I format it?
[18:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: why use unet when we already have a built in one?
[18:25] <jhutchins_wk> kallep: Stop serer, move files to new location, point server to new location, start server.
[18:25] <escott> mojtaba, if it is u3, i would honestly recommend throwing it away
[18:26] <mojtaba1> escott: how can I find it is u3 or not?
[18:26] <Capprentice> mojtaba,  look friend, I have a usb drive made of SIGMATEL which have a small lock button on its right side. With tht button I can make the data read only. Check if there is somekind of button on any side to lock data inside it.
[18:26] <escott> mojtaba, there are some u3 tools im not familiar with their usage
[18:26] <mojtaba1> Capprentice: It is a simple USB disk with no locking utility.
[18:26] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  what tool we have ? Im not aware of that.
[18:27] <elijah> llutz: Solved, it was because I was using a relative path, it wanted a full absolute path. I think it is because it must launch the process as another user. Since the script itself is not aware of my $PATH or any of my aliases.
[18:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: usb-creator-gtk
[18:27] <mojtaba1> what is usb-creator-gtk?
[18:27] <llutz> elijah:thats why i suggested to test it using "gnome-terminal -e "/full/path/to/script.sh""
[18:27] <anew> mail.err.1 mail.info.1 mail.log.1 can i delete all these logs ?
[18:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba1: its like unetbootin for ubuntu but better
[18:27] <anew> the .gz logs can i delete so many of them...
[18:27] <elijah> llutz: Yeah, I guess I didn't catch that
[18:28] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  i guess it does not have an launcher attacted to it ?!
[18:28] <mojtaba1> ntzrmtthihu777: what is unetbootin?
[18:28] <llutz> elijah: but glad you solved the issue
[18:28] <jhutchins_wk> anew: Usually you use logrotate to maintain the logs, and you can configure how many how big are retained.
[18:28] <elijah> llutz: Do you know how I would make my script have everything in $PATH available to it?
[18:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> Capprentice: it has one, search your dash
[18:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> mojtaba1: basically can take an iso and copy it to a usb drive bootable
[18:28] <Capprentice> ntzrmtthihu777,  i will do it later. Im now on Fedora 17.
[18:28] <elijah> Basically how to run gnome-terminal as myself
[18:29] <llutz> elijah: add a "PATH=/what/ever" line to the script
[18:29] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: unetbootin is a program to create a USB installer.
[18:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: ctrl+alt+t
[18:29] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Can you read but not write?
[18:29] <llutz> elijah: it should run as your user
[18:29] <elijah> llutz: I will try that
[18:29] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: Yes
[18:29] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Have you tried as root?
[18:29] <mojtaba1> yes
[18:29] <escott> mojtaba1, i would discourage you from trying anything with unetbootin until you can confirm it is not a u3 disk, as u3 will almost certainly not boot
[18:29] <elijah> ntzrmtthihu777: It is when I run gnome-terminal as a keyboard shortcut
[18:30] <Capprentice> mojtaba1,  do a thing - opn terminal then - gksu nautilus then go to usb. try deleting.
[18:30] <Capprentice> files
[18:30] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: have you looked at dmesg to see why?
[18:30] <mojtaba1> escott: How can I find if it is u3 or not?
[18:30] <elijah> llutz: Do you know how I can find out what it is running as?
[18:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: you always run gnome-terminal as yourself
[18:30] <llutz> elijah: start it, check "ps" then
[18:30] <escott> mojtaba1, i dont know, but if you search for "u3 usb linux" you will probably find some instructions
[18:30] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: I can paste the result here
[18:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: echo $USER
[18:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: I think
[18:31] <Capprentice> whoami
[18:31] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: I think he may mean usb3, in which case dmesg, but I don't know why he thinks that's no good.
[18:31] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: More important for you to read and understand it.
[18:31] <elijah> ntzrmtthihu777: K, that is working, I put it in my script and it says it is me
[18:31] <elijah> When I run gnome-terminal as a keyboard shortcut though my aliases don't work in my commands
[18:32] <elijah> Nor does my $PATH
[18:32] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: You can find the result of the dmesg here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5596718/
[18:32] <Plumblum> can i reset my Environment Variables somehow ? when i uninstalled a python version if fucked something up
[18:32] <mojtaba1> Do you know what should I do?
[18:33] <anew> argh idiot at my hosting company told me to close port 25
[18:33] <elijah> It is like it never loads my .bash_profile
[18:33] <anew> well port 25 is closed, but how do i start postfix now to use it
[18:33] <anew> because he doesnt know
[18:33] <elijah> I did an echo $PATH in the script and it differs from an echo $PATH when I run it normally
[18:33] <rogier> i want to install supermeat boy, Iǘe got a file named supermeatboy-06072012-bin how do install this?
[18:34] <mojtaba1> did you check that?
[18:34] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: U3 is apparently some new USB firmware feature that may make the drive harder to work with, not USB 3.
[18:34] <elijah> yeah, nothing in .bashrc or .bash_profile gets loaded
[18:34] <escott> jhutchins_wk, no i mean U3
[18:34] <Nach0z_> um
[18:34] <Nach0z_> U3 is nothing new
[18:34] <elijah> mabye it isn't using bash
[18:35] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: If it tries to run special software instead of just presenting as a removable drive in Windows that may be U3.
[18:35] <elijah> how would I print my shell out?
[18:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: $PATH differs between
[18:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> echo $SHELL
[18:35] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: I am in ubuntu, do you know how can I format it?
[18:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: $PATH differs between root and normal user
[18:35] <mojtaba1> I have pasted the result of the dmesg here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5596718/
[18:35] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: The demesg log looks like bad hardware.
[18:36] <escott> mojtaba1, some U3 will present themselves to the OS as two devices, one a USB the other a CDROM device
[18:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> elijah: you can get the stuff from .bashrc using source $USER/.bashrc
[18:36] <OerHeks> escott, there is an U3-tool to remove that tools
[18:36] <mojtaba1> escott: I got it, it is not u3
[18:36] <Penguin_> Has anyone seen COLORS around here lately?
[18:36] <elijah> ntzrmtthihu777: Yeah, but the one with a different $PATH is being run as the same $USER
[18:37] <elijah> Confirmed it is using bash
[18:37] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Ordinarily you would do mkfs.exte /dev/sda1 - but that might not work here since you're getting hardware errors.
[18:37] <elijah> just not going through the normal .bash_profile loading
[18:37] <Sub-Zero_> Hello
[18:37] <elijah> maybe a restart would fix it?
[18:37] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Remove drive, dmesg -c, attach drive, dmesg and post only relevant (new) lines.
[18:37] <escott> elijah, are you telling gnome-terminal to run a login shell?
[18:37] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: You mean unplug it?
[18:38] <punto2> 10.04. how can i deactivate the overlapping in the starter? for instance i want 1 icon for each firefox window. not all at 1.
[18:38] <elijah> escott: hmm, no, I am not!
[18:38] <elijah> escott: How would I do that?
[18:39] <anew> argh
[18:39] <anew> anyone can help me with postfix
[18:39] <escott> elijah,
[18:39] <anew> nothing is on port 25
[18:39] <escott> elijah,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/40287/etc-profile-not-being-sourced/40313#40313
[18:39] <anew> and i check mail.log and dont see anything
[18:39] <elijah> escott: thx
[18:39] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Yes.  umount it first if it's mounted.
[18:39] <anew> and where are the logs for sent emails?
[18:39] <anew> i cant find them
[18:40] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: It is not mounted
[18:40] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: I have umount it
[18:40] <jhutchins_wk> anew: /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.err
[18:40] <elijah> escott: I already have that checked
[18:40] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: So unplug, clear dmesg, re-connect & dmesg
[18:40] <elijah> escott: But a different question
[18:41] <elijah> escott: So .bashrc should be loaded everytime regardless if it is a login shell?
[18:41] <elijah> escott: Is there a way to tell what state a shell is? login or not?
[18:41] <anew> argh yeah no email and nothing showing in logs jhutchins_wk
[18:41] <escott> elijah, i dont remember all the rules on bash login. should be in the info pages for bash startup
[18:42] <elijah> escott: k, thanks
[18:42] <escott> elijah, and i doubt there would be any way to tell from within the shell
[18:42] <Sub-Zero_> modem related question. I use Wvdial. modem stops receiving data but keeps sending data.
[18:42] <elijah> k
[18:42] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: with the USB disk removed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5596745/
[18:42] <mojtaba1>  and with it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5596748/
[18:44] <llutz> elijah: shopt -q login_shell && echo 'Login shell' || echo 'Not login shell'
[18:44] <davidsloan> I was talking to one of the users and he is now away... He told me to do this for my problem..  Grab this ISO and burn it to CD : http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/wheezy_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso
[18:44] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: Do you know what should I do?
[18:44] <elijah> llutz: Beautiful!
[18:45] <llutz> elijah: or short "shopt login_shell"
[18:45] <davidsloan> I used Brasero to burn image and it said some files may not have burned correctly.
[18:45] <mojtaba1> I just want to format a USB disk.
[18:46] <davidsloan> I put it into my Ubuntu tower and it found the CD but nothing on it..
[18:46] <llutz> mojtaba1: your usb-device seems broken
[18:46] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Only lines 3478-3497 are significant, but the fact that it immediately goes into error mode indicates that the hardware is probably bad.
[18:46] <elijah> llutz: broader bash question, the first command you gave. Does the echo work of true false? like a sort of ternary operation?
[18:47] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: then there is no way to format it in low level mode?
[18:47] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: You can try 1) make sure it's unmounted, 2) see what fdisk -l thinks about it, 3) see if fdisk /dev/sdc works, 4) if so, delete and recreate the partition, then format it.
[18:47] <Nimble> I'm trying to get my touchpad to work with multitouch gestures. I know the hardware has support for it because it works in windows, but on ubuntu the only thing that works is two finger scrolling. Anyone know what I can do?
[18:47] <escott> elijah, if the first command returns error then the second is short circuited out of the logic evaluation jumping to the third
[18:47] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: No, once USB/flash drives fail they're done.
[18:48] <llutz> elijah: yes, "command  && do something if command succeeds || do something if command fails"
[18:48] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: Nothing on a flash drive is yours to keep forever.
[18:48] <elijah> That is awesome!
[18:48] <escott> elijah, if the first succeeds then the second is evaluated which always succeeds and the third is short circuited out
[18:48] <davidsloan> Anyone?
[18:49] <TheLordOfTime> apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade all packages to latest, including the kernel, for each respective release, correct?
[18:49] <elijah> It turns out my gnome-terminal launched as a keyboard shortcut is not a login shell. But what is weird is that it isn't even getting what is in .bashrc
[18:49] <escott> elijah, again im not sure it would
[18:49] <escott> elijah, non-login shells are for scripts generally or when the encompassing environment is already parsed
[18:50] <escott> elijah, a non-login shell probably doesn't read anything
[18:50] <toke> hello
[18:50] <escott> davidsloan, you should not be doing what was suggested
[18:51] <elijah> escott: From the link you posted "while~/.bashrc should do stuff which is required everytime bash is started. "
[18:51] <escott> davidsloan, don't mix debian and ubuntu packages
[18:51] <davidsloan> Ok.. what do I do?
[18:51] <toke> I tried to log in, and it just keeps going back to the login screen
[18:52] <eutheria> how can i see which dns server i am using now
[18:52] <toke> And when I try and access that accounts files from a different account, theere's just a "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" file
[18:52] <toke> Any ideas?
[18:52] <anew> fatal: open database /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db: No such file or directory
[18:52] <anew> any help with this error ?
[18:52] <eutheria> the /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf seems to be empty
[18:52] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: I have not any important file on it, and I just want to format it
[18:53] <Nimble> toke: your data is encrypted
[18:53] <Nimble> so you wont be able to see it from another user
[18:53] <llutz> anew: postfix.org has superb documentation for that, read it.
[18:53] <jhutchins_wk> mojtaba1: You can try 1) make sure it's unmounted, 2) see what fdisk -l thinks about it, 3) see if fdisk /dev/sdc works, 4) if so, delete and recreate the partition, then format it.
[18:53] <Nimble> when you say that you try to log in toke, do you mean from the graphical greeter?
[18:53] <anew> hmm is that the site
[18:53] <toke> Yes I do Nimble
[18:53] <Nimble> ok
[18:54] <Nimble> at the login screen press ctrl+alt+f1
[18:54] <toke> It flashes something in the portal, then goes back
[18:54] <mojtaba1> jhutchins_wk: I umount it and run the fdisk -l, but it says there is something wrong with the table...
[18:54] <toke> Okay
[18:54] <Nimble> and then log in there
[18:54] <mojtaba1> partition table
[18:54] <davidsloan> Someone please help.
[18:54] <toke> What then nimble?
[18:54] <Nimble> it works fine?
[18:55] <Nimble> you should be at a command line
[18:55] <toke> Yeah
[18:55] <Nimble> did you install anything before you logged out last time
[18:55] <Nimble> or change any settings
[18:55] <toke> errm
[18:56] <toke> I tried to put porteus on my memory stick
[18:56] <davidsloan> I am very new to Linux and just built my first computer. I'm running a dual boot with Windows 7.  Motherboard is GA-78LMT-S2P, and LAN is Atheros/Realtek GbE. I am connecting through my router (on another computer of course) via wire. Windows 7 finds the connection fine, Ubuntu does not. Light in back does not even come on...
[18:56] <toke> 1 sec, ill find the command i used
[18:56] <eutheria> well this is annoying, i've not idea what dns servers i am using
[18:56] <Nimble> k
[18:57] <shady_beast> hey man, how do i connect to jtv? >jtvirc.com
[18:57] <Praash> Hey guys, I've had trouble accessing my new Ubuntu Server machine through SSH. Turns out that the machine is not able to connect to the internet at all. Could someone help me set up the network configurations?
[18:57] <h00k> shady_beast: with a web-browser?
[18:57] <toke> It was mkdir "/mnt/loop mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/loop"
[18:57] <Sub-Zero_> modem related question. I use Wvdial. modem stops receiving data but keeps sending data.
[18:57] <shady_beast> k
[18:57] <toke> But with the path/to/file pointing to the porteus iso
[18:58] <john_rambo> While installing Mobile Media Converter I am getting this .... http://pastebin.com/bUJZD8BJ
[18:58] <shady_beast> ty
[18:58] <Sub-Zero_> modem related question. I use Wvdial. modem stops receiving data but keeps sending data.
[18:58] <Nimble> hm
[18:58] <Nimble> did you use the quotes like that, too?
[18:58] <toke> No quotes
[18:59] <escott> elijah, is what you are running non-interactive
[18:59] <davidsloan> I am very new to Linux and just built my first computer. I'm running a dual boot with Windows 7.  Motherboard is GA-78LMT-S2P, and LAN is Atheros/Realtek GbE. I am connecting through my router (on another computer of course) via wire. Windows 7 finds the connection fine, Ubuntu does not. Light in back does not even come on...
[18:59] <elijah> escott: Yeah, I just need to watch the output and then it closes
[18:59] <elijah> escott: it clears cache on my local website (Drupal)
[18:59] <escott> elijah, there are different rules for non-interactive shells
[18:59] <Nimble> toke, on the terminal you have open run this without quotes "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager"
[18:59] <elijah> escott: gtk
[18:59] <Nimble> and paste the output here
[18:59] <Nimble> should be one line
[19:00] <h00k> davidsloan: you don't even get a link-light when plugged in?
[19:00] <ioria> davidsloan: you have to configure samba, i think
[19:00] <escott> elijah, your non-interactive script should make no assumptions about what the environment is, you should also be aware that /bin/sh is not bash
[19:00] <toke> It returns /usr/sbin/lightdm
[19:00] <davidsloan> no Light.
[19:00] <Nimble> k
[19:00] <escott> elijah, so verify your shebangs are correct as well
[19:00] <toke> But I'm doing it from a different account
[19:00] <jhutchins_wk> I suppose we could have told mojtaba1 to dd zeros to the the device, but I think it's toast.
[19:00] <elijah> escott: I am using /bin/bash
[19:00] <h00k> davidsloan: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[19:01] <davidsloan> But when I am running windows 7, I do..
[19:01] <davidsloan> 12.10
[19:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: many thanks for your links and help, I now have microsoft office beutifully integrated into my gnomemenu
[19:01] <kingbeast> davidsloan, pm?
[19:01] <elijah> escott: #!/bin/bash
[19:01] <h00k> !pm | kingbeast, davidsloan
[19:01] <elijah> escott: Is that correct? (my first time)
[19:01] <Nimble> toke: Try running these in order "sudo stop lightdm" "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" "sudo restart lightdm"
[19:01] <jhutchins_wk> davidsloan: on-board NIC?
[19:01] <davidsloan> sure
[19:01] <jhutchins_wk> davidsloan: Not USB?
[19:01] <escott> elijah, for bash yes. but for a non-interactive script you should probably assume that nothing is being read
[19:02] <davidsloan> On board
[19:02] <kingbeast> su h00k
[19:02] <elijah> escott: I will read up on non-interactive scripts
[19:02] <jhutchins_wk> lspci -nn, find the network chipset.
[19:02] <elijah> escott: It is working okay for now! Thanks for all your help
[19:02] <escott> elijah, just put any variables you need in the script, in the actual script. if you want to share some variables between your script and an interactive session, put them into another file and source them in bashrc as well as the script
[19:04] <kasva_> Hi
[19:05] <toke_> @nimble
[19:05] <toke_> hello?
[19:05] <Nimble> toke_:
[19:05] <Nimble> toke: Try running these in order "sudo stop lightdm" "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" "sudo restart lightdm"
[19:05] <kasva_> Turkish was here?
[19:05] <toke_> Thanks, after I ran the first one it went on to that screen that comes up when I try and log in
[19:05] <escott> Nimble, toke_ sudo service lightdm stop
[19:05] <Nimble> oh
[19:05] <Nimble> whoops, escott is right
[19:05] <Nimble> I forgot to put service
[19:06] <escott> and certainly not sudo restart lightdm that will reboot the computer
[19:06] <b3> i have two headsets connected to pc. how do i make them output same sound?
[19:06] <kasva_> Hi dedik la n :D
[19:06] <CallingPanther> Anyone know about Dancer-IRCD?
[19:06] <Nimble> well, he's not on the computer right now
[19:06] <Nimble> he can't get a graphical login
[19:06] <escott> (or more likely fail and complain that it doesnt understand lightdm argument
[19:06] <Nimble> wait
[19:06] <toke_> So I need to do them in this order? "sudo service lightdm stop" "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" "sudo restart lightdm"
[19:07] <escott> toke_, sudo service lightdm restart (or just start at that point)
[19:07] <b3> i have two headsets connected to pc. how do i make them output same sound?
[19:07] <toke_> Okay, let me try again
[19:07] <Nimble> yeah, what escott said
[19:07] <Nimble> I made an error in copying it here
[19:07] <Nimble> sorry
[19:08] <escott> Nimble, happens. thats why we keep it in channel
[19:08] <b3> i have two headsets connected to pc. how do i make them output same sound?
[19:08] <mojtaba> Any other idea to format a USB disk?
[19:08] <TIEInt> How can I block my pi from undergoing auto-sleep? eventually want to go to wake-on-lan, but for now, would like always on.
[19:08] <escott> mojtaba, you could probably get a job at a fast food joint and make the money you need to buy a new one in the time it would take to fix the broken one
[19:09] <lakcaj> b3: http://www.hiconn.net/files/SCDC02.jpg
[19:09] <escott> (assuming it is even fixable)
[19:09] <mojtaba> !ubuntu | escott
[19:09] <Nimble> does anyone know how to get touchpad gestures working?
[19:09] <mojtaba> !language | escott
[19:10] <mojtaba> Any idea to format a USB disk?
[19:10] <Nimble> 3 finger and 4 finger gestures, specifically
[19:10] <B10ph0b1C> hy fellas!!! does anyone knows about some group of zend framework 2?
[19:10] <Nimble> mojtaba, you can try gparted
[19:10] <b3> lakcaj: how to do that through software?
[19:10] <Sub-Zero_> hi!
[19:10] <mojtaba> Nimble: the problem is that the usb disk become read-only.
[19:10] <escott> mojtaba, yes i know what ubuntu is, and yes i know what cursing is... but i wasn't cursing. im offering you advice
[19:11] <OerHeks> mojtaba, your usb is broken, it is hard to fix a crashed usb stick.
[19:11] <lakcaj> b3: not sure, but those little splitters are only a few bucks.
[19:11] <escott> mojtaba, you are wasting your time (its your time to waste, but you are wasting it)
[19:11] <mojtaba> escott: I am looking to this problem educational.
[19:11] <b3> lakcaj: okay
[19:11] <Nimble> it becomes unreadable right after you format it in gparted?
[19:11] <Sub-Zero_> Modem stops receiving data. help
[19:11] <b3> /quit
[19:12] <tw> I'm trying to make a USB grub2 boot disk as follows http://pastebin.com/9F0eKh3z , What I want is a a grub cli, what I get is "GRUB loadingRead Error". Any idea what I should be doing differently?
[19:12] <escott> mojtaba, a piece of microscopic hardware produced in china at the cheapest possible price point and with weak to inadequate quality control has failed. throw it away
[19:12] <mojtaba> Ok
[19:13] <new_toke> Hey again
[19:13] <escott> mojtaba, if you want a laugh read about http://blog.jitbit.com/2011/04/chinese-magic-drive.html
[19:13] <new_toke> @escott When I put in that command, it went to the screen I get when I try and login.
[19:13] <new_toke> And showed the error
[19:13] <Nimble> what error?
[19:13] <new_toke> which was something like mountall: disconnected from plymouth
[19:13] <escott> new_toke, "the error"?
[19:14] <new_toke> or unmount*, can't remember
[19:14] <escott> new_toke, thats not an error
[19:14] <mojtaba> escott: Thanks
[19:14] <rckrd> does anyone know how i do DNS management with a postfix mail server?
[19:14] <new_toke> Then I didn't know how to get back here, so I restarted my computer, and had to login through ctrl+alt+f1 and startx
[19:14] <new_toke> But the screen was blank apart from the wallpaper
[19:15] <new_toke> So I got here by typing firefox in terminal
[19:15] <nearst> mail server usually use mx for dns :-s
[19:15] <new_toke> I'm so confused
[19:15] <ioria> wellcome in the club
[19:15] <escott> new_toke, thats usually indicative of a failure of 3d support. install the 2d shell and try to select that at logic
[19:15] <nearst> new_toke, nothing confused
[19:15] <escott> login
[19:15] <rckrd> nearst: yeah but whats the exact configuration
[19:16] <new_toke> okay
[19:16] <Nimble> does anyone know how to enable the multitouch gestures in unity?
[19:17] <nearst> rckrd, http://rimuhosting.com/support/settingupemail.jsp?mta=postfix
[19:18] <elixir> Hi. How can I degrade my gnome shell version? Presently I have 3.6.2.
[19:18] <rckrd> nearst: thanks ill take a look
[19:19] <nearst> rckrd, ya.. gudluck.
[19:19] <toke> Hey
[19:19] <toke> Using the 2d thing let me back on with the menu and stuff
[19:19] <toke> Still not sure how to get on to my encrypted account :(
[19:19] <toke> Can I get those commands again?
[19:20] <escott> toke, encrypted account?
[19:20] <toke> I just mean the account I can't get onto
[19:20] <toke> If it wasn't encrypted, I'd just backup its files and reinstall
[19:21] <escott> toke, if you encrypted it you need the password
[19:21] <tw> did you save your ecryptfs keys?
[19:21] <toke> I know the password
[19:21] <escott> toke, so why cant you login to that account
[19:21] <toke> And when I log in at the login screen it just flashes a console, and sends me back to the login screen
[19:21] <toke> That's why I came on here haha
[19:22] <toke> I'm on the guest account at the moment
[19:22] <escott> toke, the guest account is going to be useless
[19:22] <toke> Yeah, sorry, I made a new admin account
[19:23] <toke> But I still can't get back on my original account :(
[19:23] <escott> then you can open a terminal, and su username to that user, and then follow the instructions in ~/.Private to mount the ecryptfs partition
[19:23] <escott> !ecrypfts
[19:23] <escott> !ecryptfs
[19:23] <escott> !encrypted | toke this will probably describe how to mount the ecryptfs manually
[19:24] <davis776> is possible to remembers FTP login forever in nautilus?
[19:24] <theadmin> davis776: Add a bookmark
[19:24] <toke> Okay thanks guys
[19:24] <anew> now getting a 'mail command not found'
[19:25] <escott> !find mail | anew
[19:25] <davis776> theadmin, where?
[19:25] <anew> escott i have postfix installed shouldnt that be good enough ?
[19:25] <davis776> theadmin, oh I see
[19:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> davis776: the answer to any "is it possible" question in linux is yes, the problem is whether it has been figured out yet or widely known.
[19:26] <toke> When I su toke, I get mount: Operation not permitted
[19:26] <Sub-Zero_> hello all want help with modem.
[19:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> !details | Sub-Zero_
[19:28] <toke> @escott su toke returns mount: Operation not permitted
[19:28] <escott> toke, does it not change your EUID?
[19:28] <Lainey41214> Hello, I need help.
[19:29] <toke> Nope
[19:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> !ask | Lainey41214
[19:29] <prashant_123456> i am sick and tired of frequent ubuntu updates any solutions ?
[19:29] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Uh, don't use Linux. Updates are *good*. They help keep you secure.
[19:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> prashant_123456: sit in the dark ages, get hit with security breaches.
[19:30] <prashant_123456> theadmin, ntzrmtthihu777 yes i know that but i have a very slow internet connection about 28kbps only and thats why i said that
[19:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> prashant_123456: you will not find an operating system that does not update.
[19:30] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Then don't install updates all the time... Say once a month should be fine.
[19:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> theadmin: dear god, monthly updates on 28kbs? are you crazy?
[19:31] <prashant_123456> theadmin, yes your solution is good enough to update once in a month
[19:31] <loganrun> I have a shared printer that suddenly stopped printing, jus says the printer is not responding. I have it shared via cups on my ubuntu server and am trying to print from another ubuntu computer
[19:31] <loganrun> on the server via cups I can print the test page no problem
[19:32] <loganrun> not sure how to tell what is going on
[19:32] <Juanito_Velasque> Does anyone know if links2 has a irc channel?
[19:32] <theadmin> ntzrmtthihu777: Well, it seems that they don't want to install updates frequently. So, the solution is to install them non-(un?)frequently
[19:32] <prashant_123456> theadmin, how much download i have to spend if i update once in a month ?
[19:32] <prashant_123456> theadmin, approx
[19:32] <Juanito_Velasque> Or an online documentation?
[19:32] <Lainey41214> I put ubuntu on a usb stick to install. Everything is installed and working, but i can't remove ubuntu from my usb stick to put other stuff on it. I tried formatting and running disc check on my other computer which has windows.  The usb stick says it's full even though there isn't anything in there. Did I break the usb stick? All I did was try to delete the ubuntu iso.
[19:32] <Sub-Zero_> modem connects to internet succesfully.  After some time (after receiving approx 1MB) it stops receiving data but keeps sending data. The connection also remains active.
[19:32] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Really depends on how active the developers have been. Probably around 150M I'd say unless LibreOffice was suddenly updated.
[19:32] <loganrun> it has dnssd://HP%20LaserJet%201320%20series%20%40%20charity._ipp._tcp.local/cups for the device URI
[19:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> theadmin: yeah, I get that, but a months worth of updates at once would be hellish at 28kips
[19:33] <theadmin> prashant_123456: The real solution to your problem is getting a better internet connection.
[19:33] <prashant_123456> theadmin, because of ubuntu frequent updates i was thinking to switch to arch linux !!
[19:33] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Err... Arch updates *daily*.
[19:33] <theadmin> Well, more or less.
[19:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> prashant_123456: what he said
[19:34] <prashant_123456> theadmin, but i cannot afford more than this
[19:34] <selena2013> new changes coming ot ubuntu first ROLLING REALEASE
[19:34] <Lainey41214> I accidentally closed the window. Should I write that again?
[19:34] <selena2013> then the switch from x window to Mir
[19:34] <tongcx> hi guys, how could i list all packages installed?
[19:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> tongcx: dpkg --list, I think
[19:34] <tongcx> ntzrmtthihu777: thanks
[19:34] <prashant_123456> theadmin, ntzrmtthihu777 i am using arch in virtualmachine and it does not ask for updates i m using arch from last 3 months !
[19:35] <theadmin> tongcx: dpkg --get-selections | grep 'install$' | awk '{print $1;}'
[19:35] <leptone> id like to make a bootable cd of 12.04. for the sole purpose of storing a bitcoin wallet. how do i do this. does anyone know an article?
[19:35] <selena2013> Arch is for advance users
[19:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> prashant_123456: that's because it had no gui to bug you with
[19:35] <theadmin> prashant_123456: Because you're supposed to "pacman -Syu" manually, it won't "ask" you about anything.
[19:36] <Lainey41214> After you put the 'ubuntu iso' in a usb stick, are you able to use it again for other things?
[19:36] <escott> leptone, how could you store the wallet on a CD?
[19:36] <theadmin> Lainey41214: Well, after formatting, yes
[19:36] <escott> Lainey41214, you can make a persistent usb
[19:36] <prashant_123456> theadmin, ntzrmtthihu777 actually i use icewm in archlinux and i think it is good enough lightweight and yet powerful !
[19:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: livecd
[19:36] <theadmin> !ot | prashant_123456
[19:36] <tongcx> theadmin: how could i let it also show descriptions?
[19:36] <davidsloan> OK, so this kind person got me this far, now I don't know where to go from here.  Having problems with Ethernet connection (wired) he said to download compat-wireless-pc package. I did that and put it on a CD that is now in the nonworking machine. He then said I had to manually install it with the command line and referenced this link...http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-c
[19:36] <davidsloan> ontroller Not sure where to go from here. Please help!!
[19:37] <leptone> escott, idk :)  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_your_wallet "Paper Wallets" third paragraph
[19:37] <prashant_123456> theadmin, ubottu is it a warning for me from ubottu ?
[19:37] <leptone> sry 4th paragraph
[19:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: are they stored as .deb?
[19:37] <Lainey41214> I'm having trouble formatting. I tried to format it on my other computer (windows), but nothing happens. It won't let me disc check either.
[19:37] <Sub-Zero_> help with modem
[19:37] <davidsloan> Gonna have to dumb it down..
[19:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> prashant_123456: yeah, this is #ubuntu. we help with ubuntu
[19:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: can you look in the cd
[19:38] <davidsloan> nope.
[19:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: why not.
[19:39] <prashant_123456> ntzrmtthihu777, yep i agree ubuntu is great and makes me feel powerful !
[19:39] <davidsloan> Nothing is showing up.
[19:39] <davidsloan> Just that it's a data disk.
[19:39] <theadmin> Lainey41214: How did you create the USB stick?
[19:39] <qwertyomen> prashant_123456: Mua hahaha
[19:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: open the filebrowser, check the side panel for the cd
[19:40] <prashant_123456> qwertyomen, great
[19:40] <leptone> anyone know how i could make a bootable ubuntu cd work for storing a bitcoin wallet
[19:41] <davidsloan> Says Data Disk, then when I click, nothing..
[19:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: you will have to create a live cd
[19:41] <Lainey41214> I ran usb live creator.
[19:41] <qwertyomen> prashant_123456: I'm sitting in class right now with issri in the command line scrolling down it's on dedicated monitor and my classmates are like dude what are you doing?
[19:41] <theadmin> leptone: You can make custom CDs with Remastersys, Reconstructor, Relinux and UCK. None of them work too great but you might have some luck
[19:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: right-click, open
[19:41] <davidsloan> I just put it on a flash drive and found it...
[19:41] <havok> Hey, Anyone have a link for instructions that work to install wow? I have it copied onto my linux partition, I have wine, and I have PlayOnlinux
[19:41] <theadmin> havok: #winehq
[19:42] <davidsloan> Run the program?
[19:42] <julian-delphiki> and / or check out the appdb
[19:42] <Lainey41214> I'm sorry. I used Unetbootin.
[19:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: ok, that works. now what is the extensions for the file
[19:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> havok: playonlinux has an installer script.
[19:42] <davidsloan> ....tar.bz2
[19:42] <theadmin> Lainey41214: Hm, okay, well, recreate the partition table. On Ubuntu you can use GParted, on Windows, go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk/Volume management and use that.
[19:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: ah, its source package.
[19:43] <leptone> ntzrmtthihu777, yeah i know how to do that. but ive only used live cd's to do installs. can i save data to the disk. will i just select "try ubuntu" each time i boot from the disk?
[19:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: you need to right-click the file and chose extract here
[19:43] <elixir> Hi. I am using ubuntu 12.10 and" gnome-shell --version" gives me 'gnome-shell --version'. I am not able to install Axe Menu from extensions.gnome.org. Please help ! Badly stuck here since long ?
[19:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: not much experience there.
[19:44] <theadmin> elixir: You're not supposed to type commands with quotes, you know that right?
[19:44] <davidsloan> Extract it in the Flash Drive?
[19:44] <havok> Huh, what do you mean by an installer script? ntzrmtthihu777,
[19:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: if it has space, yes
[19:44] <keldwud> *Krieger
[19:44] <keldwud> whoops, wrong channel
[19:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> havok: open playonlinux, click install, click the games icon, and then scroll down for wow
[19:45] <elixir> theadmin: Didn't had idea. Will take care in future. Can you guide me with my query?
[19:45] <davidsloan> Done.
[19:45] <havok> Oh!
[19:45] <theadmin> elixir: Well, Gnome Shell isn't really an environment that's common with Ubuntu and I only glanced at it once and ran away in horror so I'm afraid not :P
[19:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: do you have nautilus-terminal installed?
[19:45] <nima_> hello guys!
[19:46] <Lainey41214> I tried to create a partition table, but it says that it's currently active.
[19:46] <davidsloan> Don't know what that is..
[19:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> Lainey41214: unmount it
[19:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: ok, open a terminal, and type cd /media/ then hit tab twice
[19:46] <nima_> i want canon i-SENSYS mf4400 drivers for ubuntu but i can't find it!
[19:46] <Chat4131> Hey
[19:46] <elixir> theadmin: lol, np ;) I seems that its time for me too to run :P
[19:46] <nima_> how can i find it!>
[19:46] <nima_> ?
[19:46] <Lainey41214> If I unmount it, then it won't show up.
[19:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> Lainey41214: yes it will, if you are under ubuntu
[19:47] <davidsloan> Ok.
[19:47] <escott> Lainey41214, ubuntu will also automatically swapon any swap devices it sees so if you have one of those it will make the partition active
[19:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: it should have listed a few things, one is your usb stick. cd into it
[19:47] <theadmin> Lainey41214: Use GParted to unmount, Nautilus doesn't have a sane way to unmount devices (it ejects them instead, thereby removing their /dev nodes)
[19:47] <toke> retrieve a few of my important files from the encrypted account (I have no idea how to do this)
[19:47] <nima_> i know but it can't find its  drivers!
[19:48] <davidsloan> one of them IS my usb stick..
[19:48] <nima_> what can i do?!
[19:48] <Lainey41214> I'm using gparted. When I unmount, the partition doesn't show.
[19:48] <escott> toke, have you looked at the instructions in ~/.Private or on the !encrypted link
[19:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> nima_: best I can say is google your distro and the device
[19:48] <nima_> i googled it but no choice!
[19:48] <toke> I don't now how to get to it, as I can't su to the account
[19:48] <escott> Lainey41214, there is a difference between unmounting and ejecting. if you unmount through nautilus it will unmount and eject.
[19:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: exactly, cd into the usb stick, and then into the new folder you got from extracting the tarball
[19:49] <escott> Lainey41214, you can manually unmount with "sudo umount /media/whatever
[19:49] <davidsloan> You lost me.
[19:49] <nima_> any chance?!
[19:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: when you tapped tab twice it gave you some options, right?
[19:49] <bazhang> nima_, check linuxprinting.org database for drivers
[19:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> !patience | nima_
[19:49] <anew> when i set my system mail name... can i make it mysite.com or do i have to make it mail.mysite.com ?
[19:50] <davidsloan> I didn't know those were options.
[19:50] <toke> @escott I don't now how to get to it, as I can't su to the account
[19:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: yes, those are options, type the one that matches your usb device
[19:50] <OerHeks> nima_,  http://www.canon.nl/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/Laser/LaserBase_MF_series/i-SENSYS_MF4410.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:16-823016&page=1&type=download but i don't have experience with canon drivers
[19:51] <davidsloan> Now I'm at: media/sloan/SecureGuard$
[19:51] <Snake2k> Hello everyone, im new to ubuntu, I ran a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and I got this problem "http://codepad.org/utTUCCNj".. How do i remove this?
[19:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: ok, what was the folder when you extracted it
[19:52] <escott> toke, get to what?
[19:52] <toke> ~/.Private
[19:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> escott: his thingus.
[19:52] <davidsloan> compat-wireless-3.6.8-1
[19:52] <theadmin> Snake2k: PPA entries are stored under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, just remove the respective files.
[19:53] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: cd com then tab
[19:53] <Snake2k> theadmin: Thank you :)
[19:53] <escott> toke, the same way you would get to any other folder on the system. /home/whatever/.Private
[19:53] <jhutchins_wk> Snake2k: Comment out that repo in your sources.list
[19:53] <theadmin> Snake2k: There's also a neat graphical app for that, software-properties-gtk ("Software Sources" in the menus)
[19:53] <davidsloan> lost me again.
[19:54] <nima_> i'm downloading the drivers you said but what am i gonna do with it?!
[19:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: cd means change directory. cd foo moves you into the folder foo
[19:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> nima_: read the readme
[19:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: you can complete long names in the terminal by typing the first few letters then tab
[19:54] <Snake2k> jhutchins_w: Thanks, doing that :).. theadmin: I'll check that out :)
[19:55] <nima_> i can not understand its not English!
[19:55] <Juanito_Velasque> nima_: Then you are in the wrong channel, look for you localiszed channel
[19:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: so in your case cd com<tab> will expand to cd compat-wireless-3.6.8-1
[19:55] <leptone> im trying to make a bootable ubuntu usb. not a live cd for install. rather im looking for i distro i cn put on a disk boot from that disk and write to that disk. anyone?
[19:56] <davidsloan> got it.
[19:56] <theadmin> leptone: Just install Ubuntu to the stick then, as you would to a hard drive.
[19:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> !persistent | leptone
[19:56] <bazhang> nima_, what does the linuxprinting.org database say about that printer? did you go to the link and check yet?
[19:56] <davidsloan> The folder came up.
[19:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: you hit enter?
[19:56] <bazhang> leptone, make it a persistent usb
[19:56] <toke> Yes haha, but when I try and get to /home/toke I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "toke"
[19:56] <theadmin> How can I configure TTYs to display non-ASCII characters? Currently almost any Unicode is rendered as a square :/
[19:56] <leptone> ntzrmtthihu777, thx
[19:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: what theadmin said. use a cd to install to the usb stick
[19:56] <toke> @escott Yes haha, but when I try and get to /home/toke I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "toke"
[19:56] <davidsloan> Yes.
[19:57] <Lainey41214> I tried unmounting from terminal. It says 'sudo: unmount: command not found. I put 'sudo unmount /media/[myusername]/[nameofusbstick]'
[19:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: do ls, there should be a file like config in the folder
[19:57] <bazhang> Lainey41214, its umount, not unmount
[19:57] <davidsloan> when I hit enter   :    media/sloan/SecureGuard/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1$
[19:57] <superkuh> Is there a PPA for newer versions of glib? I am using 10.04 (lucid) still but I can't compile most new software because of dependency issues. Compiling glib myself and configuring it correctly is extremely daunting.
[19:58] <escott> toke, then sudo -i
[19:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: very good.
[19:58] <bazhang> superkuh, search the ppa at launchpad and find out
[19:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: now type ls then enter
[19:58] <escott> toke, you might also try sudo su username if you were just trying su username
[19:58] <escott> toke, i dont know if that will make a difference or not
[19:58] <bazhang> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas   <------- superkuh
[19:58] <theadmin> escott: That's better done as "sudo -u username -i"
[19:58] <davidsloan> Bunch of things cam up..
[19:59] <superkuh> Thanks bazhang.
[19:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: please address me by name so I can notice you better.
[19:59] <anew> system mail name = hostname, but is hostname my machine name ?
[19:59] <theadmin> anew: Yes, it's what's written in /etc/hostname
[19:59] <davidsloan> ntz....  I'm guessing everything in the folder
[19:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: one should be something like config or config.sh or configuration
[19:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: just type ntz<tab>
[20:00] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, config.mk
[20:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: when your name is at the start of a message it highlights, so I can see it better.
[20:00] <tgm4883> ntzrmtthihu777, there is a ubottu command for that too   !tab
[20:00] <tgm4883> !tab
[20:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> tgm4883: really, interesting.
[20:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> tgm4883: thankya
[20:00] <tgm4883> yw
[20:00] <Lainey41214> Now it says 'sudo: /media/[username]/FLASH_drive: command not found'
[20:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: chmod +x config.mk
[20:01] <Lainey41214> I'm sorry if I'm really bad at this. I'm new to ubuntu.
[20:01] <davidsloan> type that?
[20:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> Lainey41214: we were all new once.
[20:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: yes, then hit enter
[20:01] <theadmin> Lainey41214: sudo umount /media/username/FLASH_drive
[20:02] <anew> thx theadmin
[20:02] <zorky> hello. anyone who can help me. i duel booted win8 and ubuntu. from win8 i deleted the ubuntu partition. now i get a grub rescue. i knew i would lose the abillity to boot into win8. so i tried various things. booting win8 install. didn't work. tried ubuntu livecd. running boot repair. and it has been stuck on scanning system the past 30 min now. please help
[20:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> theadmin: would it not simply mount to /media/FLASH_DRIVE
[20:02] <anew> can i leave root and postmaster mail recipient blank?
[20:02] <escott> zorky, UEFI or bios?
[20:02] <theadmin> ntzrmtthihu777: I think that's a change introduced in 12.10, now it mounts in /media/username/device_label instead of /media/device_label
[20:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> theadmin: :/ not sure I like that.
[20:03] <zorky> escott, please elaborate?
[20:03] <qwertyomen> zorky: try using the 8 disk for repair
[20:03] <Lainey41214> theadmin that's what I put, but it keeps saying 'command not found'
[20:03] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, took me back to media/sloan/SEcureGuard/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1$
[20:03] <cprofitt> +1 theadmin that is how it works
[20:03] <zorky> qwertyomen, please explain?
[20:03] <theadmin> Lainey41214: Can you give me what exactly did you put?
[20:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: supposed to.
[20:03] <t00tie> any hints on troubleshooting this? 12.04 lts, wired network, dmesg is full of [ 6529.671219] jme 0000:08:00.5: eth0: UDP Checksum error
[20:03] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, it looks like you forgot to 'umount' part
[20:03] <baltar> Is nvidia-313-updates a patch? It doesn't work standalone
[20:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: now do ./config.mk
 Now it says 'sudo: /media/[username]/FLASH_drive: command not found'
[20:03] <toke> @escott /.private just contains lots of files and folders with names like ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbc9JLhslQyhkQa3t.xMepxqqtu8VuPkSoRoAjBxsedcnw1GcNnIHEX.U--
[20:04] <escott> zorky, is your system a UEFI or bios system?
[20:04] <qwertyomen> zorky: if you use the windows 8 install disk, you often have a choice to repair a previous installation
[20:04] <afflicto-laptop> I just enabled some stuff in compiz settings manager. How do i "apply" them?
[20:04] <escott> toke, i dont know where they put the mounting instructions. they are somewhere
[20:04] <zorky> qwertyomen, yes. but it didn't work
[20:04] <zorky> escott, bios
[20:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> toke: you would likly be better off just using tab completion and no @
[20:04] <Lainey41214> it says 'umount: /media/[username]/flash_drive: not found'
[20:04] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, permission denied
[20:04] <escott> toke, and there wont be much in that directory so just looking around should point it out
[20:04] <leptone> ntzrmtthihu777, im reading thro the article now. do i need a persistent distro?
[20:04] <toke> Okay
[20:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: sudo ./config.mk
[20:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: If you use an install cd to install to usb it won't matter.
[20:05] <toke> ntzrmtthihu777 What is tab completion?
[20:05] <escott> zorky, then you could use http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/
[20:05] <davidsloan> command not found.
[20:05] <AkTiV> free shells -> irc.fewona.net /j fewona
[20:05] <davidsloan> Sorry ntzrmtthihu777 , Command not found..
[20:06] <bazhang> AkTiV, dont paste that here
[20:06] <h00k> AkTiV: do not spam in here
[20:06] <AkTiV> ok
[20:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: your usb stick will be in effect your hdd
[20:06] <AkTiV> bazhang ??
[20:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> toke: try this, type ntz and then tab
[20:06] <zorky> escott, will try
[20:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: is there a readme in the folder/
[20:06] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, what about 'ls /media'
[20:07] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, yes.
[20:07] <qwertyomen> escott: adding that one to my bookmarks :D
[20:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: pastebin it
[20:07] <toke> ntzrmtthihu777: Ahh I see
[20:07] <toke> THanks
[20:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> toke: when you do that your name is highlighted for the person you sent to, easier to notice
[20:08] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, What does that mean
[20:08] <Lainey41214> tgm4883 That didn't work either.
[20:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:08] <toke> escott: I found a readme in the toke folder
[20:08] <dougl_> When you take a print screen.... how do you capture that as a file
[20:08] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, can you pastebin the exact command you  typed?
[20:08] <zorky> escott, can't install mbr from sudo apt-get install mbr
[20:08] <toke> escott: From the graphical desktop, click on:  "Access Your Private Data"  or  From the command line, run:  ecryptfs-mount-private
[20:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: paste.ubuntu.com should have you something for you.
[20:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> dougl_: check your pictures folder.
[20:09] <dougl_> ok
[20:09] <toke> escott: But doing doing the graphical one, nothing happens. And ecryptfs-mount-private in terminal returns Inserted auth tok with sig [ca39e5b4b49d9604] into the user session keyring fopen: No such file or directory
[20:09] <leptone> ooh interesting. so basically i boot from the cd and select the usb as the HD / mount point. do i need a swap partition?
[20:09] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, ok, did that
[20:09] <Lainey41214> When I try to unmount from gpart, it says 'could not unmount /dev/sdf1' Underneath, it says exactly what the terminal said 'Umount: /media/[username]/flash drive: not found.
[20:09] <qwertyomen> zorky: sudo apt-get install syslinux
[20:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: yeah, its a good idea if you do so.
[20:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: did what, the install?
[20:10] <dougl_> any other ideas
[20:10] <zorky> qwertyomen, allrdy install
[20:10] <zorky> installed
[20:10] <qwertyomen> zorky: Oh I see now...
[20:10] <davidsloan> Lot's of 'could not resolve' and 'unable to fetch'
[20:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: derp, forgot this was a networking issue
[20:10] <Snake2k> Hello guys, me again, thanks for the previous solution it worked :) but now im getting a duplicate source.list entry error something.. http://codepad.org/MxVvIKLA.. I ran sudo apt-get update as it recommended but no fix :(.. I took a look at my sources and i couldn't find duplicates.. Is keeping the sources for both amd64 and i386 result in duplicating?
[20:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: can you link me where you got it from
[20:11] <superkuh> Hm. No PPA for lucid with glib >2.27. I need 2.28. Assuming i have no idea what I am doing, if I manage to compile and install 2.28 will I break everything?
[20:11] <leptone> ntzrmtthihu777, ok does it need to be as big as my RAM. 8 GB?
[20:11] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777,  that's happened alot over the course of me trying to fix this.. haha..
[20:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> leptone: if its just a usb stick not really, you are not gonna use it all the time are you?
[20:11] <Lainey41214> For some reason, I just can't get it to unmount without ejecting.
[20:11] <qwertyomen> zorky: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828

[20:12] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: can you link me where you got it from

[20:12] <davidsloan> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/#compat-wireless_3.6_stable_releases
[20:12] <tgm4883> Snake2k, you'd need to pastebin your sources.list
[20:12] <ntzrmtthihu777> davidsloan: which one did you download
[20:13] <zorky> qwertyomen, unable to locate ms-sys. that didn't work either

[20:15] <davidsloan> ntzrmtthihu777, no problem. Should we PM?
[20:15] <Lainey41214> If it won't unmount without ejecting, does it mean it's broken?
[20:15] <tgm4883> Snake2k, do you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[20:15] <kevrodg>  /part
[20:15] <superkuh> Do you think using Debian backports of Glib 2.28 would work on Ubuntu lucid?

[20:16] <Snake2k> tgm4883, Yes i do.. for the 'extras' i have 2 files.. ubuntu-extras.list and ubuntu-extras.list.save.. Is this the problem?
[20:16] <havok> Does anyone know why Xchat GNOME is recommended?  You have it listed in sources.list and in ubuntu-extras.list (i'm guessing). The .save file isn't an issue
[20:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> havok: use irssi, its a termanal irc client
[20:17] <leptone> ntzrmtthihu777, i dont really know what a swap partition is...
[20:17] <tgm4883> Snake2k, can you pastebin the ubuntu-extras.list file
[20:17] <Snake2k> tgm4883, Sure
[20:18] <Snake2k> tgm4883:  http://codepad.org/XOgHN2Kv    contents of ubuntu-extras.list
[20:18] <tgm4883> Snake2k, yea that is the problem
[20:19] <tgm4883> Snake2k, Just remove the extras lines from sources.list
[20:19] <Lainey41214> Is it safe to assume that my usb stick is broken?
[20:19] <tgm4883> leave that file
[20:19] <Snake2k> tgm4883, any one line?

[20:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> !patience | havok
[20:20] <ronalds> use quassel
[20:20] <Snake2k> tgm4883, Okay should i remove those 2 lines?

[20:21] <Lainey41214> sorry about that.

[20:24] <DylanCl> Hello, recently I got a blue screen of death on windows, that's why I switched to ubuntu. Now, is there a way to completely remove windows 7 inside ubuntu?
[20:24] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, first, there is a space between -l and the path. Second, I didn't want that full path, just /media
[20:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> Lainey41214: you should have a space between the two
[20:24] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, 'ls -l /'
[20:24] <tgm4883> err
[20:24] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, 'ls -l /media'
[20:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> DylanCl: yes, easily.
[20:24] <DylanCl> How do I do that
[20:25] <bazhang> DylanCl, wubi install?
[20:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> DylanCl: just delete the partition with windows, and then grow ubuntu into it.
[20:25] <havok__> Oh, I wasn't trying to poll. I am honestly confused.-- I'm brand new to linux, and Mint seems to have a different set of apps- I keep confusing myself
[20:25] <DylanCl> I used the windows installer.
[20:25] <DylanCl> Installed it when I had windows
[20:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> DylanCl: then no, you will have to re-install. during that you can eraise windows completely
[20:25] <bazhang> havok__, xchat-gnome is supposed to follow gnome more closely, many would opt for the regular xchat
[20:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> havok__: different distros use different programs, its the name of the game
[20:26] <Lainey41214> Like this? 'sudo umount ls -l /media'?
[20:26] <Lainey41214> It says 'total 4
[20:26] <Lainey41214> drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Mar  8 15:26 lainey'
[20:27] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, exactly. So now how about 'ls -l /media/lainey'
[20:28] <Lainey41214> It says it's not found.
[20:28] <Lainey41214> 'umount: ls: not found
[20:28] <Lainey41214> umount: /media/lainey: not mounted'
[20:29] <Lainey41214> I put 'sudo umount ls -l /media/lainey'
[20:29] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, oh sorry, that is my fault. I should stop trying to do two things at once
[20:29] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, take the umount out of that command
[20:29] <Lainey41214> It's okay.
[20:29] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, I'm just trying to get a listing of that dir
[20:30] <Lainey41214> 'sudo ls -l /media/lainey'
[20:30] <Lainey41214> 'total 0'
[20:30] <qwertyomen> zorky: sorry had to go  on break... did you get anything working?
[20:30] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, ok, so that is the problem. Your flash drive isn't mounted
[20:30] <zorky> qwertyomen, yeah, i got it booted up. it works :D
[20:31] <qwertyomen> sweet!
[20:31] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, so either a previous command already unmounted it, or it's  mounted elsewhere
[20:31] <Lainey41214> It keeps ejecting periodically.
[20:31] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, on it's own?
[20:32] <qwertyomen> zorky: what all got it working?
[20:32] <tgm4883> Lainey41214, I'm sorry, I wasn't here from the start. Is that the original issue? If so, why are you trying to umount it?
