[16:03] <bazhang> lluvia, those are in the kernel
[16:03] <xangua> compdoc: you are already using it
[16:03] <Michelle> jeep: using the official ubuntu tutorial on mac via terminal
[16:03] <bazhang> rapstudio, no need to repeat. try alsamixer
[16:03] <xangua> compdoc: if you keep secutiry updates of course
[16:04] <compdoc> I see - the System info still says 12.04, even on a 12.04.1 system
[16:04] <lluvia> my question is about how to switch from one to other
[16:04] <jeep> Michelle: your installing on a mac or you just used it to make the usbstick?
[16:05] <Michelle> jeep: installing on a mac
[16:05] <mannytu> How do I install Ubuntu on to a USB?
[16:06] <bazhang> mannytu, using unetbootin
[16:06] <iceroot> !usb | mannytu
[16:06] <ashi> hi
[16:06] <thiebaude> !unetbootin | mannytu
[16:06] <thiebaude> !unetbootin
[16:06] <rapstudio> thanx *bazhang
[16:06] <tomreyn> Michelle: have you run a different operating system on this computer without problems? no random crashes or freezes?
[16:07] <Michelle> jeep: making usbstick bootable works, but when trying to boot ubuntu gets me kernel panics
[16:07] <Michelle> jeep: also creating on a mac
[16:08] <Michelle> tomreyn: i could try backtrack 5 if u want :P
[16:08] <Michelle> tomreyn: yes, other os works like windows....
[16:08] <jeep> Michelle: you followed this ?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> Michelle  backtrack is a security distro to test and detect network intrusion
[16:09] <Michelle> jeep: thats the usb tutorial i used but i haven't tried the macbook air 3,2 section
[16:09] <21WAAFEW9> Michelle backtrack? Never heard of it...
[16:10] <Michelle> MonkeyDust: i know, i meant just testing as "other os" if it works on mac :P
[16:10] <jeep> Michelle: you used unetbootin or the manual method ?
[16:10] <Michelle> jeep: the manual method
[16:10] <Michelle> jeep: using unetbootin on mac makes the usb undetectable
[16:10] <jeep> Michelle: recreate your usb stick with unetbootin it may be more successful
[16:11] <jeep> nevermind i see now
[16:11] <Michelle> jeep: i've already tested unetbootin, it made the usb undetectable, even creating bootable usb in windows = same as the method
[16:11] <alexgiova1> ciao
[16:12] <Michelle> jeep: as manual method
[16:12] <Michelle> jeep: but i'll try the link you linked
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> Michelle  try this 3rd party app   http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[16:13] <Michelle> MonkeyDust: i'm on mac not in linux :P
[16:13] <FindingGirlyGirl> GirlyGirl: long time no see ... may I discuss the stuff by pm
[16:13] <mayur_pune> my latest ubuntu server is crashing after installing windows IE8
[16:14] <mayur_pune> any idea?
[16:14] <mayur_pune> its a crash !
[16:14] <bazhang> mayur_pune, installing how
[16:14] <phaidros> is there any reason that 12.04 LTS comes without CONFIG_CIFS_ACL kernel setting ?!
[16:14] <mayur_pune> yes
[16:15] <mayur_pune> i have build kernel and then enable that mod
[16:15] <bazhang> mayur_pune, installing how, please answer
[16:15] <mayur_pune> bazhang using wine
[16:15] <bazhang> mayur_pune, ask in #winehq after checking the appdb
[16:15] <bazhang> !appdb | mayur_pune
[16:16] <mayur_pune> bazhang , thanks wil get back to you
[16:16] <Michelle> jeep: it says "dd the whole USB stick to the second partition" you know how i should execute the command?
[16:16] <bazhang> mayur_pune, application support is in #winehq
[16:16] <OerHeks> mayur_pune, you should use IE9
[16:16] <Michelle> jeep: im reading on the link "macbook air 3,2" :P
[16:17] <OerHeks> mayur_pune, or IE10/11/12/13 .. how far is IE A.T.M. ?
[16:17] <mayur_pune> Michelle , "dd /dev/usb_partition /dev/second_partition"
[16:17] <Michelle> mayur_pune: thanks
[16:17] <mayur_pune> OerHeks , its IE10
[16:17] <Michelle> mayur_pune: i understand now :)
[16:18] <mayur_pune> Michelle , what?
[16:18] <Michelle> mayur_pune: thanks for the command
[16:18] <mayur_pune> Michelle , you can also give the block size for ex bs=1024
[16:19] <jeep> Michelle: i havent messed with an macs since a ppc imac g3
[16:19] <Michelle> mayur_pune: i don't think i need block size but okey
[16:19] <lionrouge> hi
[16:20] <Michelle> jeep: okey, but it works a little bit same as linux
[16:20] <lionrouge> if i install Ubuntu 12.04 is it to be updated to 12.19 without reinstall?
[16:20] <Guest57187> bonjour tt le monde
[16:20] <lionrouge> *to 12.10
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[16:20] <lionrouge> and are there some disadvantages of 64-bit version now?
[16:20] <ThinkT510> lionrouge: you can update yes but 12.10 isn't stable yet
[16:21] <lionrouge> ThinkT510, that is why i ask - want to install stable release
[16:21] <ThinkT510> lionrouge: i've used 64bit fine for more than 2 years
[16:22] <lionrouge> ThinkT510, nothing that cannot be fixed?
[16:22] <Leidenfrost> I still don't know why ubuntu continues to recommend the 32 bits version.
[16:22] <lupo_dj> hy
[16:22] <lupo_dj> i
[16:22] <lupo_dj> hi all
[16:22] <lionrouge> hi
[16:23] <jack214> Hello everyone. I just installed Ubuntu, and I'm having an intermittent wireless problem. Sometimes it just seems to time out, and disconnecting/reconnecting fixes it.
[16:23] <lionrouge> ok, thanks you all a lot
[16:23] <jack214> But it works for about 10 minutes, then times out.
[16:23] <lionrouge> jack214, other operating systems don't face it?
[16:23] <jack214> Windows 7 does not have this problem
[16:23] <drchaos> How do I get /var/log/messages on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[16:23] <jack214> I've tested out other Linux distributions on this computer, like Debian and Fedora, and they all have this issue too.
[16:24] <drchaos> I really want it
[16:24] <ThinkT510> jack214: sounds like the wireless driver at fault
[16:24] <tomreyn> Michelle: did you run the media test on the ISO image you downloaded or on the actual installation media by selecting it at the installer menu?
[16:24] <jack214> I agree.
[16:24] <jack214> I just don't know how to start working on this situation.
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> !wifi > jack214
[16:25] <tomreyn> Michelle: if you haven't done the latter, yet, i suggest you do, to rul out issues which may have occurred while / after you created the installation media
[16:25] <jack214> Thanks for your PM.
[16:25] <Michelle> tomreyn: i've tested the disk test <- i get black screen with kernel panic too (on the pic)
[16:25] <Michelle> tomreyn: same as selecting install ubuntu
[16:26] <earboxer> I need help
[16:26] <tomreyn> Michelle: i see. and now you're recreating your installation media? you're installing from a usb key, right?
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> earboxer  let's hear it
[16:26] <tomreyn> !help | earboxer
[16:27] <earboxer> my mouse keeps jumping back to the same place on the edge of my screen
[16:27] <parham> Hi. Can anyone please tell me how I can send parameters to a service using the service command? I need to start the mysql service using the --skip-grant-tables option
[16:27] <UD98> part
[16:27] <earboxer> !help
[16:27] <Michelle> tomreyn: thats right, i'ce creating a bootable usbstick with ubuntu.iso and trying to install it on mac with a second partition
[16:28]  * jagginess thinks earboxer is annoying
[16:28] <Michelle> tomreyn: mac has integrated partition selection choose which i want to boot on
[16:28] <tomreyn> Michelle: i guess it's a good idea to just do it again - using a different usb key if you have more than one, or an external hard drive.
[16:28] <Michelle> tomreyn: to choose*
[16:29] <tomreyn> thanks bazhang
[16:29] <Michelle> tomreyn: i could test on a extern harddisk
[16:30] <tomreyn> Michelle: chances are the usb key is just broken, so this can be a good option
[16:30] <jagginess> Michelle, i believe if you want linux on your mac internal drive, you'll want to use refit.
[16:30] <drchaos> bazhang: would you please unban web gateways?
[16:31] <drchaos> like webchat.freenode.net
[16:31] <Michelle> jagginess: im jusing refit, refit makes my usb detectable at partition selection
[16:31] <Boogeyman> is anybody having an issue with their edge bindings suddenly not working in compiz after the latest kernel upgrade?
[16:31] <jagginess> Michelle, cool
[16:31] <NeuhNeuh> I have a small question :/
[16:31] <NeuhNeuh> [libxvid @ 0x10ddec0] Invalid pixel aspect ratio 0/1 appear with ffmpeg
[16:31] <NeuhNeuh> I give script (2 lines)
[16:32] <Michelle> i'm gonna restart and try again with the tutorial jeep linked to me
[16:32] <jagginess> Michelle, does refit boot from the beginning of the usb drive? this i'm not sure of (if not then you need to install grub's stage1 to the linux partition)
[16:32] <NeuhNeuh> position=$(xwininfo -root | grep 'geometry' | awk '{print $2;}')
[16:32] <NeuhNeuh> ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -r 25 -s $position -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libxvid -sameq -y output.avi
[16:32] <NeuhNeuh> position = 1366x768+0+0
[16:33] <ineterior_de> hellow
[16:34] <Michelle> Jagginess: refit is like os selection, it's used for selecting mac, windows or linux to boot which is installed on mac
[16:34] <jack214> Hi. So I downloaded the most recent ralink driver. How do I install a.bin file as a driver? :O
[16:34] <Michelle> Jagginess: and making usb detectable at partition selection, both function
[16:35] <jagginess> Michelle, yeah.. i setup a macbook for someone like 2 years ago (but the refit itself looks like it hasn't been updated this long too), but if i recall properly, grub gets installed to the linux partition
[16:37] <tomreyn> jack214: you probably do not want to do this in the first place
[16:37] <jagginess> Tico, do note there's grub-efi and grub-pc, macs can boot in bios-emulation mode..
[16:37] <tomreyn> jack214: why did you download it? is some network device not working properly?
[16:37] <jack214> It seems logical that the next step would be to install the most recent firmware for the device.
[16:38] <jack214> Yes, my Ralink RT2800 times out intermittently. A google search shows that other people have had this problem.
[16:38] <jack214> I've seen some suggestions to update the firmware but nothing definitive.
[16:38] <jagginess> jack214, you using a kernel3.x ?
[16:38] <jack214> 3.2.0
[16:40] <tomreyn> jack214: can you point us to the web page where you read this? also, which ubuntu version are you running, do you have any manually installed drivers / software, do you use third party software repositories?
[16:40] <triyo> I did an upgrade to latest ubuntu dist ver and for some reason now when I try to install most packages, I get an 'unmet dependencies' error. I take it this has something to do with the sources.list or could it be something else?
[16:40] <jack214> I'm running Xubuntu 12.04. It's a fresh install as of 20 minutes ago, literally nothing else installed.
[16:41] <jagginess> !xubuntu
[16:41] <triyo> My sources.list looks pretty standard... (there is a 3party sec with extras.ubuntu....)
[16:41] <tomreyn> triyo: yes, that's probably so. do this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo apt-get update | pastebinit; apt-cache policy | pastebinit
[16:42] <jagginess> triyo, the update manager gui app changes sources.list
[16:42] <jagginess> triyo, and updates the index too
[16:42] <triyo> Cool, I'll givve it a try.
[16:42] <tomreyn> triyo: if things go well you'll end up with two internet addresses, please post those here
[16:44] <triyo> tomreyn: will do, thanks!
[16:45] <mayur_pune> what is the best vnc server for ubuntu? vnc4server,x11vnc,vncserver ?
[16:46] <bekks> mayur_pune: There is no "best" in software. Just choose the one that fits your requirements.
[16:46] <compdoc> mayur_pune, I use vnc4server
[16:46] <triyo> This doesn't look good: sudo apt-get install pastebinit => "pastebinit : Depends: python-configobj but it is not installable"
[16:47] <mayur_pune> compdoc , but do you get full resolution?
[16:48] <compdoc> mayur_pune, I use GEOMETRY="1280x1024" but its not limited to that, I think
[16:48] <triyo> tomreyn: any ideas?
[16:49] <triyo> Seems that I can hardly install anything at the moment.
[16:49] <tomreyn> triyo: please manually post the output of these commands to a pastebin:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --assume-no install; apt-cache policy
[16:50] <dr_willis> x11vnc is a specilized vnc server to share the 'current visible desktop'
[16:52] <compdoc> for a remote vnc server, I think the only choices are vnc4server, and tightvnc
[16:52] <triyo> apt-get update => http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193004/
[16:52] <tomreyn> triyo: which versions did you recently upgrade from and to?
[16:53] <tomreyn> i'm referring to ubuntu, not some packages
[16:53] <tomreyn> keep going with the posting, though
[16:53] <edivanhalen> algum brasileiro ai?
[16:53] <tomreyn> !br | edivanhalen
[16:54] <edivanhalen> ola
[16:54] <soupeee> since update can't connect to free wifi at library. wicd finds the sight but won't connect. stalls on obtaining ip address. It's not the hardware cuz I can connect to home wifi no problem. any suggestions?
[16:57] <triyo> tomreyn: I installed Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal... But I ran apt-get upgrade earlier and not ti sure if that would upgrade to latest?
[16:57] <triyo> Going to Abount Ubuntu, still says 11.04
[16:57] <bazhang> triyo, that does not change version
[16:58] <jesse123> hello all....  should ddrescue's destination image be the size the used space on the source drive or the capacity of the source drive? I'm trying to rescue 700 GB of files from a 1.5 TB source drive to a 1 TB destination drive
[16:58] <[snake]> tomreyn, I fixed my computer... it froze... but I'm not sure how I got http from it haha
[16:58] <triyo> bazhang: ok, thank for that info.
[16:58] <znow> hey, im following http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/improve-your-apps-performance-with-memcached/ and trying to do "memcached -m 512 -c 1024 -p 11211 -d ", but it says: "can't run as root without the -u switch" ?
[16:59] <[snake]> jesse123, I think so... I'm not entirely sure though :/
[17:00] <dr_willis> jesse123:  it will be the size of the drive.. even if the drive is 1% full.
[17:02] <tomreyn> triyo: you said this initially, though: <triyo> I did an upgrade to latest ubuntu dist ver
[17:02] <jesse123> hmm ok.. lets see what happens when I hit the wall :) maybe I can recover the rest of the hdd to a different destination. It does use log files so *fingers crossed*
[17:03] <tomreyn> [snake]: i'm not sure what you're referring to
[17:03] <[snake]> tomreyn, didn't you help me yesterday?
[17:04] <tomreyn> [snake]: oh, yes, that's possible. my memory isn't great, but your name rings one of a couple of bells.
[17:04] <[snake]> tomreyn, yesterday I was the one that had the ssh putty problem but I could still get http
[17:04] <tomreyn> [snake]: ah, now i remember
[17:04] <soupeee> since update can't connect to free wifi at library. wicd finds the site, puts it at the top of the list with 3 green bars,  but won't connect. stalls on obtaining ip address. It's not the hardware cuz I can connect to home wifi no problem. any suggestions?
[17:04] <[snake]> tomreyn, haha yeah. I like [snake] :)
[17:05] <triyo> tomreyn: my apologies. I foolishly thought that apt-get upgrade would do just that.
[17:05] <tomreyn> [snake]: glad you were able to solve it. still, a server shouldn't freeze, so the problem is only half fixed, i guess ;)
[17:05] <triyo> tomreyn: apt-cache policy => http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193026/
[17:06] <[snake]> tomreyn, yeah. :P
[17:06] <tomreyn> triyo: no worries, i was just asking for clarification
[17:07] <tomreyn> triyo: so you did not recently install ubuntu 11.04 but a while ago, right?
[17:07]  * soupeee goes to shutoff sprinkler
[17:07] <triyo> Right
[17:08] <triyo> I'd say about 1 year ago, no more.
[17:08] <tomreyn> triyo: ok
[17:09] <znow> hey, im following http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/improve-your-apps-performance-with-memcached/ and trying to do "memcached -m 512 -c 1024 -p 11211 -d ", but it says: "can't run as root without the -u switch" ?
[17:09] <louiemat> can anyone tell me how to set up indicator-weather
[17:09] <tomreyn> triyo: so we're still missing the output of "sudo apt-get --assume-no install", right?
[17:10] <empt> hi guys, i'm using unity on ubuntu 12.04, i tried running a game with wine, everything is fine but one thing annoys me, when i'm in the game the sidebar won't hide and it's always on the left side. how can i fix it?
[17:11] <triyo> tomreyn: That's correct. Reason: E: Command line option --assume-no is not understood
[17:11] <Sokel> empt: Don't use unity. </problem>
[17:12] <empt> what?? you mean i cannot do anything?
[17:12] <louiemat> any takers on ubuntu weather indicator-help
[17:13] <bazhang> !behelpful | Sokel
[17:13] <sedeki> i can't apt-get update anymore, it downloads and then says it's corrupt
[17:13] <triyo> tomreyn: version => apt <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu4.6 for amd64 compiled on Jun 15 2012 14:55:09
[17:14] <tomreyn> triyo: yes, this will be why, i have a newer version here. please do this instead: sudo apt-get -s install
[17:14] <fire_> empt: you can do it, just set hide unity auto, form the change  background options
[17:14] <Sokel> qq is all I hear.
[17:15] <triyo> thought it might be the reason.
[17:15] <fire_> Sokel: which distro are you using ?
[17:16] <triyo> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193052/
[17:16] <fire_> soupeee: just click on forget the network and try connecting agian.
[17:16] <Sokel> Centos, home. Rhel, work. Opensuse, laptop. Ubuntu, media center.
[17:16] <tomreyn> triyo: sudo ppa-purge ppa:globalmenu-team/ppa
[17:17] <empt> fire_ : i did it too but when i move the mouse to the left side of screen the sidebar shows itself!
[17:17] <tomreyn> triyo: you may need to "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge" beforehand
[17:17] <fire_> empt: you can't totally hide your unity, if it's annoying you shift to ubuntu classic. :D
[17:18] <dr_willis> Err.. the unity panel does hide and is supposed to not 'be on top' of full screened games and videos
[17:19] <dr_willis> some games/apps may not be fullscreening properly if it only has issues with those games
[17:20] <empt> Dude! that's so rediculas, ok thank's by the way ;)
[17:20] <triyo> tomreyn: Running, updated pkg files...
[17:20] <triyo> *updating
[17:20] <dr_willis> empt:  i would check the askubuntu.com site for possible work arounds and tips on getting it working with wine
[17:21] <fire_> empt: ya it is but i can't help it. :)
[17:21] <fire_> dr_willis: hi :)
[17:22] <empt> ok, i'll take a look there too. thanks guys ;)
[17:22] <BaffoGrigio> Ciao
[17:22] <aoxi> i am running xubuntu 12.04 with vlc 2.0.3, and am experiencing vlc's process hanging after closure. it also seems to use 100% cpu of a core at all times, even when the video is paused. i tried googling, but only found articles related to vlc crashing the entire system... anyone know of a fix?
[17:23] <tomreyn> triyo: as you may imagine, this command will (if it succeeds) remove both the "global menu bar" PPA and any packages installed from it. that's neccessary because this PPA you are using is actually for ubuntu lucid (10.04), not natty (11.04, which is the ubuntu release release you have).
[17:24] <klebezettel> can somebody do a little test for me? just wondering if it's only on my system: please run urxvt (terminal emulator), hit 'cat<RETURN>' and press Alt+. ...what's the output for you?
[17:24] <bekks> klebezettel: What is your output?
[17:25] <klebezettel> bekks: just the dot, meaning urxvt does not send escape for alt...which is why I have some problems using midnight commander (mc)
[17:25] <klebezettel> but it should be "^[."
[17:25] <tomreyn> triyo: you should not mix packages made for different ubuntu releases, since they can be (and often are) incompatible.
[17:25] <triyo> tomreyn: interesting regarding lucid in fo in the logs as oppose to natty...
[17:25] <triyo> The command finished running
[17:26] <tomreyn> triyo: did it report errors?
[17:26] <klebezettel> bekks: can you reproduce?
[17:27] <triyo> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193076/
[17:27] <bekks> klebezettel: Sorry, no. I am not using urxvt.
[17:28] <klebezettel> bekks: sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode-256color; urxvt
[17:28] <klebezettel> bekks: :D
[17:29] <tomreyn> triyo: sudo apt-get update 1>/dev/null && sudo apt-cache policy | grep lucid
[17:29] <tomreyn> triyo: if there's any output please post it to a pastebin again
[17:29] <fire_> dr_willis: no reply :(
[17:30] <nsaquatics> Is TJ in da house?
[17:30] <bekks> nsaquatics: Just take a look at "/names" :)
[17:30] <nsaquatics> well he often times changes his nick, which makes it really hard to keep track...
[17:30] <r14nul> hi

[17:34] <tomreyn> triyo: okay, but there can be old packages still, let's look for them: sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions; apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate
[17:34] <nsaquatics> r14nul, did you really ask that question here? Dude you must have balls of steel.
[17:35] <Myke974_> lol

[17:35] <r14nul> nsaquatics : nothing :/ , this is First time using "IRC" lol
[17:35] <CaliBoy> reallj
[17:36] <r14nul> ya :)
[17:36] <CaliBoy> thought that might be the case
[17:36] <nsaquatics> r14nul, gotcha... well welcome to IRC...

[17:37] <triyo> That doesn't sound good considering that it can't find any in arch.
[17:38] <triyo> tomreyn: I need to step away for 10min brb; pimg you when I'm back
[17:38] <tomreyn> triyo: when you say "list goes on and on" does it mean there was more output than what you posted?
[17:38] <tomreyn> o
[17:38] <tomreyn> ok
[17:38] <triyo> tomreyn: yes, console buffr ran out...
[17:39] <triyo> you need the full list?

[17:43] <r14nul> How To Secure Ubuntu ( Firewall ) ?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> r14nul  install ufw
[17:43] <dr_willis> theres more to secureing then just a firewall.
[17:43] <fire_> r14nul: but by default there is firewall GUI pre-installed
[17:43] <dr_willis> !firewall > r14nul
[17:43] <unless> Hello guys!
[17:44] <fire_> firewall is just like 1 step to secure your system.
[17:44] <fire_> unless: :)
[17:44] <bekks> fire_: Wrong :) The first step is a list of requirements :)
[17:45] <fire_> bekks: :P But for me i don't require a list, everything comes up in my mind one after the other. :D
[17:45] <bekks> fire_: That sounds like chaos :D
[17:45] <unless> I was trying to install some code from source and I really made a mess at my disk. I have installed lot of compiler and stuff. Now I want to know if there is a way to restore my preview system like before? :P
[17:46] <fire_> bekks: for other not for me :D cause went through this steps so many times, that they have got hard wired in my brian. :D
[17:46] <ab-cd> unless: to shut it down? :D
[17:46] <bekks> unless: Not without a backup or knowing what you've installed in detail.
[17:47] <DasEi> unless: I'm not sure if there was an uninstaller in your tarball, else can llok up apt's log for recently installed package ; use a vm next time you do experiments
[17:48] <unless> DasEi, yes, that is the idea :P
[17:48] <fire_> unless: i have installed lot of compiler ?? if yes that uninstall them. remove all those things which you thing are unneccesary for you now
[17:48] <unless> OkropNick, thank you guys!
[17:48] <tomtiger11> fire_: Whats your brian?
[17:49] <fire_> tomtiger11: brain* it happens, as i told it's hard wired (circuits) instead of normal chemical reactions that must take place. :D
[17:49] <DasEi> unless: the more harsh an detailed way : see listing of dpkg -I and decide, what can be gone (try by --dry-run switch first hand, as some essentials tend to pull half the os off when asked to be removed)
[17:49] <fire_> really here there are funny guys than other channels on irc. :D
[17:50] <tomtiger11> fire_: So other things are hard-wired into your brain, but not how to spell 'brain'? XD
[17:50] <unless> DasEi, ok
[17:50] <W4sp> unless: I suggest you check the history of shell commands for the user(s) involved in the process of 'install some code from source' that 'a mess at my disk'. See you log files and jot down what you've done to get there. See the install scripts where all that finally ended up.
[17:51] <DasEi> unless: good tip , from w4s.. , also see bash-history
[17:51] <fire_> tomtiger11: so that's where my hard wired brain comes into play, it isn't good at literature because it's a master in 10101010 :P
[17:51] <trupheenix> anyone here who can help me with a bind9 setup?
[17:51] <W4sp> unless: Use 'history > ~/messed' for a reference.
[17:51] <DasEi> !vm | unless
[17:52] <unless> And how about the installed contents I've made. I haven't defined a path for it, how can I check where it installed?
[17:52] <tomtiger11> fire_: lol
[17:52] <jagginess> unless, ?
[17:52] <fire_> tomtiger11: how long with ubuntu  or linux ?
[17:53] <W4sp> unless: Those files probably went to /usr/local/bin and whereever. That's where your Makefile comes into picture. Open it and see what $INSTALL has to tell you.
[17:53] <unless> jagginess, very confused here :P Should have used a VM to be honest.
[17:53] <jagginess> fire_, ubuntu is a linux
[17:53] <jagginess> lol
[17:53] <tomtiger11> fire_: Me? A good few years XD
[17:53] <fire_> jagginess: he might be using other linux distro before.
[17:53] <trupheenix> i'm trying to set up bind9 on my machine for my domain. but my mail server is on a different ip which is not the same as the dns server. how do i create a reverse dns entry for my mail server?
[17:54] <trupheenix> my reverse dns lookups are failing
[17:55] <jagginess> trupheenix, ?
[17:55] <trupheenix> jagginess my mail server is on a different subnet.
[17:55] <DasEi> trupheenix: dnsmasq comes to my mind
[17:55] <jagginess> trupheenix, you need an mx record, perhaps too a reverse address record as well
[17:56] <DasEi> !info dnsmasq
[17:56] <jagginess> trupheenix, by default 12.04+ dnsmasq comes installed..
[17:56] <DasEi> trupheenix: that also allows routing-functions
[17:56] <trupheenix> jagginess, i am confused how to set up the reverse record. forward lookups work fine. but the problem comes in specifying the reverse dns entry. i'm not sure how the format should be if the server is on a different subnet from the dns.
[17:57] <jagginess> trupheenix, by default dnsmasq listens on <IP_ADDRESS>, perhaps you may want to change that
[17:57] <trupheenix> jagginess, DasEi sorry I am still using 10.04 server edition :(
[17:57] <DasEi> trupheenix: same there
[17:57] <azizLIGHTS> how do i check if i have a certain package installed, on command line
[17:57] <trupheenix> DasEi, i am required to use bind9
[17:57] <mutio> trupheenix // No chance of just putting the mail server onto the same subnet?
[17:57] <jagginess> trupheenix, mail clients find mx servers through mx records.. some clients like to do reverse-ip checkups.. you'll have to read up about that :/
[17:57] <DasEi> azizLIGHTS: dpkg -I | grep <packageName>
[17:58] <jagginess> trupheenix, mail clients (as other smtp mta servers)
[17:58] <jagginess> trupheenix, your mail server wouldn't be able to serve over the internet of course..
[17:58] <trupheenix> mutio, no chance :(
[17:58] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: apt-cache policy package
[17:59] <jagginess> azizLIGHTS, dpkg -l|grep -i <keyword>
[17:59] <azizLIGHTS> dpjg -I is trying to install
[18:00] <azizLIGHTS> apt-cache policy package says unable to locate package poliocyuy
[18:00] <jagginess> azizLIGHTS, "l" is not I .
[18:00] <azizLIGHTS> thanks jagginess that did it
[18:00] <azizLIGHTS> jagginess: he typed I
[18:00] <jrib> azizLIGHTS: replace "package" with your package name...
[18:00] <azizLIGHTS> ok jrib , thanks
[18:01] <jagginess> azizLIGHTS, -l lists, use grep if you know part of the substring name of a package, --> apt-cache policy <full package name> is another command which doesnt do the same as dpkg -l
[18:01] <W4sp> Inconsolata is an excellent font that prevents these kind of goof-ups.
[18:01] <jrib> well -I was suggested originally
[18:02] <tomtiger11> What does SingleSignOn actually do>
[18:02] <tomtiger11> ?*
[18:02] <jagginess> DasEi got it wrong, it's supposed to be -l
[18:03] <DasEi> jagginess: right thx, that I would be info ^ , azizLIGHTS
[18:03] <azizLIGHTS> i see! thanks all
[18:03] <xzaz> Does anyone know if we can send parameters to a running process (by PID id or something liek that). We run a java application and want to send commands to this application while its running and waiting for commands
[18:03]  * jagginess thinks synaptic is a gui that may be able to help
[18:04] <tomtiger11> Oh, right.
[18:04] <mutio> xzaz // you mean like a pipe?
[18:04] <jagginess> xzaz, refer to that program's documentation.
[18:04] <jagginess> xzaz, give me a break :)
[18:04] <DasEi> xzaz: can't tell for java, top least allows you to general processes, overasked there, there also was another 1or 2 ways
[18:04] <xzaz> jagginess: We created to program our self
[18:05] <xzaz> mutio: Will look into that
[18:05] <tomtiger11> I asked someone earlied how i can have one set of credentials for a user, and for those credentials to work on any computer in the network, and have all of the same files, but got an incorrect answer. How would I do this?
[18:05] <jagginess> tomtiger11, huh?
[18:06] <jagginess> tomtiger11, are you asking to share the same files with other users?
[18:06] <mac9416> Hello, I am trying to connect to Freenode using Empathy, but I get "authentication failed". Strange, because authenication is not even technically required, no?
[18:06] <DasEi> tomtiger11: you can have a centralised server with the users homedirs and profiles
[18:06] <tomtiger11> DasEi: Exactly what I was thinking, but how do i set that up?
[18:06] <DasEi> user's
[18:06] <xzaz> We started the project by using NOHUP in the background and we want to give program after launching a action to do; like "give_log"
[18:07] <xzaz> That was the idea
[18:07] <DasEi> tomtiger11: depends on the whole situation, you can have diskless servers, a server-client structure, and many more apporaches, whole story ?
[18:07] <slackguru> Has anyone successfully installed all four openjdk-6-jdk, openjdk-7-jdk, jdk-6u35 and jdk-7u7 and then be able to switch between through alternatives?
[18:07] <tomtiger11> DasEi: Ive got to go, be back in 5 minutes :)
[18:07] <jagginess> DasEi, diskless servers? wtf?
[18:08] <Cobra> are there any good tutorials for beginners? something that can maybe show me the basics and how to navigate the system?
[18:08] <DasEi>  tomtiger11in a small environment can have just a nas, where you put the homedirs in
[18:08] <tomreyn> triyo: i did not respond because you said you were about to leave. i don't need the full list right now. all of these are actually packages in natty, so i wonder why it would list those anyways. please try installing pastebinit again (sudo apt-get install pastebinit). if it worked, please run: apt-show-versions | grep uptodate | head -n 200 | pastebinit
[18:08] <jagginess> slackguru, yeah.. there's a gui app called 'galternatives' that can change it for all users
[18:08] <DasEi> jagginess: clients, just triedto figure out what was been looking for
[18:09] <ThinkT510> !manual | Cobra
[18:09] <slackguru> jagginess, I don't care about other users, I just want to be sure none of the remnants of the other flavors of java won't be seen
[18:09] <Cobra> thanks
[18:09] <jagginess> Cobra, /usr/share/doc, dpkg -L <packagename>  , pretty much two things you need to know on dpkg linux systems
[18:09] <slackguru> jagginess, Android still doesn't like java7 even though it says it does.
[18:10] <jagginess> !android
[18:10] <jagginess> slackguru, you're in #ubuntu (android is um ..)
[18:10] <jagginess> wonder how he got that mixed up :)

[18:20] <trupheenix> how do i configure the ip addresses of my ubuntu wifi hotspot?
[18:20] <tomtiger11> Anyway, Like DasEi said before he ping time outed, How would I go about having a central server with every users files on?
[18:20] <tomtiger11> and login through the server at any ubuntu workstation in the network
[18:21] <bekks> tomtiger11: You would set up an LDAP server for authentication and an LTSP server for login in.
[18:21] <Troy^> ok i look online and it is saying my specified ssh port is open externally but i can't seem to connect to my external ip using the port

[18:23] <trupheenix> mutio, the wifi hotspot itself creates a range starting with 10.42.43. something
[18:23] <trupheenix> mutio,  i want it to assign as 192.168.43 .something
[18:23] <lionrouge> trupheenix, you should setup your router
[18:23] <lionrouge> with it's web-interface
[18:24] <trupheenix> lionroutge not my router. i am trying to use my ubuntu laptop as a wifi hotspot
[18:24] <lionrouge> oh
[18:24] <mutio> trupheenix // does it really matter? 10.x is a bigger subnet.
[18:25] <trupheenix> mutio, thing is i am doing some development and i have a dns running on my laptop. i plan to use my laptop hotspot when there is a power cut.
[18:25] <Tico> i need help with this https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2qv0xaw0dlg68p/2012-09-08%2020.09.02.jpg :(
[18:25] <triyo> tomreyn: sudo apt-get install pastebinit => still deps issue
[18:25] <tomreyn> Guido1: install the package, then uninstall it
[18:25] <trupheenix> mutio, so i want the laptop hotspot to use everything in the exact same way as my router is configured to use.
[18:25] <tomreyn> triyo: can you post that output please
[18:25] <luftikuss> Tico: It says that it cannot mount. But you have not given eonough information so that I could judge why it cannot mount.
[18:26] <mutio> trupheenix // why not change the router to 10.x? it's a bigger subnet
[18:26] <Guido1> tomreyn: how can i do it? in the center i only have the option to uninstal. i gues via the terminal. the problem apears by some more programs
[18:27] <Tico> luftikuss: i used unetbootin for creating bootable usb to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS on mac
[18:27] <trupheenix> mutio, sound plausible to me

[18:27] <triyo> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193179/
[18:28] <tomreyn> Guido1: run this in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get install
[18:28] <trupheenix> mutio, i should be able to configure the ip address of my wifi hotspot so that the dns ip remains same. that way i don't have to change all the dns records.

[18:30] <tomtiger11> bekks: A what now?
[18:30] <bekks> tomtiger11: Now, you have to go through the docs of LTSP to see that it isnt a thing of 10 minutes of configuring.
[18:31] <luftikuss> Tico: I'd advise you to repeat your question in this channel a while later with mentioning Mac. May be a knowledgeable person appears.

[18:33] <bipolar> I'm using pam cached credentials on laptops. It works great when connected to the local network, or when completely disconnected. My problem is when the laptop is connected to a network off site. Since the servers are not on the network, I get a delay when logging in. The delay matches the BIND_TIMEOUT setting in /etc/ldap.conf. When there is no network, the bind attempt fails immediately so I get no timeout. Is there a way to fix this without changing th
[18:33] <bipolar> e BIND_TIMEOUT setting? I'm trying to keep my configuration as clean as possible, so I'd rather not use a postinst script on my auth deb to change it. Everything else is setup with auth-client-config.

[18:41] <Troy^> hmm please help with vsftpd Response:	500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot() getting this on login for a user that i want restricted to specifically the home directory
[18:41] <exiff> Curses.
[18:41] <tomreyn> triyo: not really, looks like the image you have on your usb key is broken (again). be sure to not unplug the usb key before you ran 'eject' on it or used the GUI to 'unready' it.
[18:42] <exiff> Thanks bekks
[18:42] <jaakka> samuel, if youre behind restrictive firewall i can setup something faster
[18:42] <triyo> tomreyn: Something is really strange. When the apt runs.... I get some seriously heavy IO activity
[18:42] <bekks> triyo: Define "serious heavy" please.
[18:43] <Guest23301> Hi there!
[18:43] <triyo> bekks: I cant alt-tab windows when it runs....
[18:43] <triyo> Degradation of performance.
[18:44] <triyo> But unreasonably bad
[18:44] <jaakka> anyone know if one can remove avahi ?
[18:44] <jaakka> zeroconf is basicly useless
[18:44] <tomreyn> triyo: what does this return? lsb_release -d
[18:45] <tomtiger11> bekks: PXE would work, wouldnt it?
[18:45] <triyo> Ubuntu 11.04
[18:45] <jaakka> triyo, time to upgrade
[18:45] <jaakka> triyo, 12.04 is already LTS
[18:46] <bfortified> can someone point me in the direction of making a partitions on a second drive more seemless IE not show up in devices list and removable devices applet?
[18:46] <tomreyn> triyo: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get check   # then post the output of all threee commands
[18:47] <triyo> jaakka: true that; however I need this one to run till end of Monday. I have some work stuff I need to demo. And the problem is I need some packages installed that are missing.
[18:47] <Shadal> Hey Guru's, quick question.. I'm getting a number of ' kernel: iptables denied: ' in my syslog from SRC=<IP_ADDRESS> - Is this common or do I have a config error somewhere?
[18:47] <tomreyn> triyo: whenever i pass you multiple commands on a single line, separated by ; then you can just copy and paste them all together including the ; and run them as a single line
[18:47] <mutio> bfortified // if you did that, then if the second drive ever had trouble or failed, you wouldn't know
[18:47] <battlehands> I'm trying to install lubuntu on my netbook, which doesn't have a built in cd drive.  So, I have the iso file on a CD and the CD drive connected, but I can't specify the netbook to boot from the CD in the bios.  Please advise.
[18:48] <bfortified> mutio, these device get mounted in /home/user/
[18:48] <jaakka> battlehands, do you have a usb flash drive?
[18:48] <jaakka> that would be the easiest way
[18:48] <battlehands> jaakka, yes, but I don't know how to make a bootable usb drive.
[18:48] <luyang> I'm about to install Code::Blocks IDE! Is there a channel discussing its usage?
[18:48] <Troy^> battlehands: you say you have the iso on a cd... did you burn a data cd or a image disc?
[18:48] <jaakka> battlehands, this is simple as pie, do you use windows or ubuntu atm?
[18:48] <battlehands> Troy^, I burned an image disc
[18:49] <battlehands> jaakka, windows on this machine
[18:49] <nyRednek> question, how do i get bitlbee going in precise?
[18:49] <Troy^> battlehands: here you go http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[18:49] <mutio> battlehands // what can your netbook boot from?
[18:49] <bfortified> mutio, does that make sense? I ant them to be more seemless in the system
[18:50] <jaakka> battlehands : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[18:50] <battlehands> mutio, hdd, fdd, lan
[18:50] <Pond> quit
[18:50] <jaakka> you can make a bootable flash drive
[18:50] <Troy^> jaakka: my link is better :P
[18:50] <jaakka> and next step set boot off usb in bios
[18:50] <DasEi> battlehands: another way (usb shall be easier ) : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[18:50] <triyo> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193228/
[18:51] <jaakka> Troy^ : i could provide autoinstallation via PXE remote
[18:51] <Troy^> eww
[18:51] <jaakka> its dead easy :) , click and run
[18:51] <battlehands> with hdd, fdd, and lan available, which to I select to boot from?
[18:51] <jaakka> battlehands, something along the lines of usb-hdd, usb-fdd or smth
[18:51] <DasEi> battlehands: I'd try unetbootin (for 'buntu least) first, and don't forget to format usb first, even fat on older ones, there unetbootin tricked me some times
[18:51] <bfortified> mutio, and they caint even be ejected in these menus as they are owned by roo, seems pointless to list them there if you caint do anything with it
[18:52] <battlehands> DasEi, what is unetbootin?
[18:52] <DasEi> !info unetbootin
[18:52] <mutio> bfortified // I think (not sure) the second drive will always count as a separate drive to device listings. it's part of the os
[18:52] <DasEi> battlehands: which us are you chatting from now ?
[18:52] <DasEi> os*
[18:52] <bekks> tomtiger11: Depends on wether you set up a PXE server, and wether your network adapters will support PXE.
[18:52] <Tico> is someone who is familiar with mac and unetbootin?
[18:52] <battlehands> DasEi, windows 7
[18:53] <tomtiger11> Could i install gPXE on a hard drive?
[18:53] <jaakka> bekks, seriosly every ethernet adapter today supports PXE
[18:53] <bfortified> mutio, ok was afraid of that thank though
[18:53] <battlehands> DasEi, I'm not sure how to use unetbootin
[18:53] <DasEi> battlehands: fine, there is unetbootin, too, format the stick first, d/l and verify installer iso, use untbtin'  for make the stick bootable, insert, re-boot, call bios > first disk is usb then
[18:54] <bekks> tomtiger11: No. Because the network adapter has to be able to use PXE.
[18:54] <jaakka> battlehands, if you are using windows, then Troy's or mine is easier
[18:54] <bekks> jaakka: You never dealt with Realtek, dont you? :)
[18:54] <DasEi> battlehands: nvm, d/l and install in windows, then ask again, an easy one
[18:54] <jaakka> bekks, i dont use shitty hardware :)
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> battlehands  in short: put iso on usb stick, boot from usb stick, done
[18:54] <Troy^> install in windows? i wouldn't trust that
[18:54] <battlehands> jaakka, I just don't know what do select in my netbook's bios to boot from
[18:54] <bfortified> Troy^, your my samba guy! you there?
[18:54] <battlehands> okay guys
[18:55] <battlehands> let me make the boot stick first
[18:55] <battlehands> baby steps
[18:55] <jaakka> battlehands, what are the options?
[18:55] <wilee-nilee> battlehands, Not only can you load the usb with a single ISO for install there are lots of these loaders and ones that will allow multiple OS on a single usb for use when needed like for installs and repairs.
[18:55] <bekks> jaakka: It's not my fault that Realtek sells their network adapters :)
[18:55] <battlehands> hdd, fdd, lan
[18:55] <battlehands> brb
[18:55] <Troy^> bfortified: yea i'm here
[18:55] <DasEi> Troy^: install unetbootin in win, sure
[18:55] <jaakka> battlehands, this cant be all :p
[18:55] <tomtiger11> bekks: gPXE
[18:55] <trijntje> i'm trying to share a desktop between two ubuntu computers, but the screen is not updated properly, remnants of old windows keep overlapping the current window. What can I do to fix this?
[18:55] <bekks> tomtiger11: And...?
[18:55] <Troy^> DasEi: not what i mean't but yea
[18:55] <spoofkelberry> Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with dual monitors. I have it enabled, and I have the launcher on auto hide, but it's not easy to move my mouse between the displays. It sticks if I don't thrust my mouse hard enough.
[18:55] <tomtiger11> Theres a difference XD
[18:55] <jaakka> bekks, luckily in server enviroment you either get intel or marvel
[18:56] <bekks> tomtiger11: PXE is a feature your network adapter has to support, it is nothing that is installed and magically makes your computers boot from PXE.
[18:56] <bekks> jaakka: I know. :)
[18:56] <tomreyn> triyo: please post the output of: apt-show-versions | grep uptodate | head -n 20
[18:57] <tomreyn> triyo: i'm sorry we're not making much progress ;-) i don't really understand how your system can be in the situation it is in, and am still trying to find out.
[18:57] <jaakka> bekks, any idea if avahi is needed, i dont really use zeroconf or bonjour
[18:57] <tomtiger11> bekks: So how do I know if my card supports pxe?
[18:58] <mutio> tomtiger11 // what make and model of NIC?
[18:58] <jaakka> bekks, i could just remove the package , but no idea if itll impact a stand-alone xubuntu installation
[18:58] <bekks> tomtiger11: By looking ip the technical specifications of every card in every client.
[18:58] <DasEi> battlehands: you can oc also dissamble the hd, install a core system on another box and re-assemble, dirtiest thing I ever done was using a minimal debian by dd, then changed sources, but unetbootin shall do the trick, if lappy's bioas sees it as bootable drive
[18:58] <bekks> jaakka: Sorry, I was not following your request.
[18:58] <bfortified> Troy^, got samba working fine on my nix boxes but i allways get prompted for uname + pass on win machines, I am using a very simple smb.conf setup [family share]
[18:58] <bfortified>         comment = Family Files
[18:58] <bfortified>         browsable = yes
[18:58] <bfortified>         path = /media/family
[18:58] <bfortified>         guest ok = yes
[18:58] <FloodBot1> bfortified: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:58] <bfortified>         read only = no
[18:59] <Troy^> bfortified: let me show you mine
[18:59] <jaakka> bekks, i was just trying to remove unneccerary packages, portmap , apache2 and so forth, just asking if removing avahi would damage anything
[18:59] <tomtiger11> bekks: I don't know what cards are installed XD
[18:59] <bekks> tomtiger11: Then you have to find it out.
[18:59] <jaakka> tomtiger11, everything is basicly in /proc
[18:59] <bekks> jaakka: I dont know, sorry.
[19:00] <mutio> tomtiger11 // a "dmesg | less' should tell you what kind of ethernet the os is seeing
[19:00] <jaakka> tomtiger11, lspci always helps
[19:01] <Troy^> bfortified: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193247/
[19:01] <Troy^> bfortified: that is all that is in my /etc/samba/smb.conf
[19:02] <GeekAdmin> Is there an edition of Ubuntu or a distro of Ubuntu that comes with AVG, AVAST, and ClamAV?
[19:02] <bfortified> Troy^, thanks i will try setting up the global and look into the mask
[19:02] <DasEi> battlehands:  d/l and install unetbootin and installer-iso in windows,  ask again, if unsure
[19:02] <spoofkelberry> You shouldn't neeed anti-virus on ubuntu, haha.
[19:02] <triyo> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193251/
[19:02] <Troy^> bfortified: do you have the drives mounted in windows 7? you know what i mean?
[19:02] <battlehands> Okay.  I feel like a totaly baller... I just created a bootable usb drive with lubuntu image.
[19:02] <battlehands> now what do I do on my netbook?
[19:03] <battlehands> DasEi, I'm not installing the image on this computer.
[19:03] <ezrafree> hello
[19:03] <bfortified> Troy^, Im not sure i understand. Any time i try to go to them 7 and XP it prompts for uname + psswd
[19:03] <Guido1> I have a problem by plaing sounds as a mailalert from seamonkey / mozilla and plaing sounds with vlc player, but if i use for example toetem and play the same sound i have no problems at al
[19:03] <DasEi> battlehands: all clear, but you need it to make a bootable ubuntu-installation-media on the stick
[19:04] <battlehands> DasEi, so the image I put on the drive is not currently bootable?
[19:04] <Troy^> bfortified: have you added them as mounted in my computer? so you can just click on them and they are given a drive letter
[19:04] <DasEi> !info unetbootin | battleh
[19:04] <battlehands> DasEi, I don't understand that message.
[19:05] <ezrafree> has anyone ever seen this, i am suddenly (after years of running Escreen theme for Eterm) getting this error: Error opening file for reading: Permission denied
[19:05] <DasEi> battlehands: the untbtin' is just a tool to convert the cd iso to boot from a stick, so all installer files are needed first hand
[19:05] <bfortified> Troy^, In windows? map the drive? It wont let me without uname etc. Right no just trying to browse to them through the workgroup
[19:05] <mutio> Guido1 // maybe those apps are using different mixer settings which result in less noise?
[19:05] <battlehands> DasEi, okay.  So first the file, which I did, and now the bootable stuff.
[19:05] <DasEi> battlehands: has nothing to do with installing ubu on windows
[19:05] <DasEi> right
[19:05] <battlehands> k
[19:05] <Troy^> bfortified: put the username and pass in
[19:06] <bfortified> Troy^, thats the problem i dont have one
[19:06] <Guido1> mutio: if i play this sound on another computer, also ubuntu 10.04 and with vlc i have no problems
[19:06] <DasEi> battlehands: and also, did you check the image for not beeing corrupt or least torrented it down ?
[19:06] <Troy^> bfortified: doh, it is the uname and pass of your linux box. or it may possibly be blank
[19:06] <bfortified> Troy^, nope tried all that
[19:06] <mutio> Guido1 // a different computer might have a different sound card and speakers?
[19:06] <jilt007> *
[19:07] <DasEi> !md5sum | battlehands
[19:07] <Troy^> use a copy of my smb.conf bfortified
[19:07] <Troy^> bfortified: just modify it
[19:07] <battlehands> DasEi, windows verifies automatically
[19:08] <tomreyn> triyo: and this? apt-cache policy wpasupplicant
[19:08] <DasEi> battlehands: just take that quarter of time for installing the tool and md5sum on win, can easily be found, format stick by windows-utility, ask if gui of tool is of any questions
[19:08] <Guido2> i'm back. my messanger just crasched
[19:08] <bfortified> Troy^, yea i bet its the lack of a global section in my .conf. I as uner the impresion that asnt nessacery for simple shares and its not for nix boxes but perhaps thats what is giving me the fits on my dohs boxes. Thanks again that should get me pointed in the right direction
[19:08] <battlehands> guys, lubuntu is not on the distribution list of unetbootin...
[19:08] <maicod> certain vmware tools functions fail to install with saying I should make sure 'make, binutils, gcc and running kernel sources' are present. I think I'm missing the kernel sources. How to install them?
[19:09] <battlehands> yes it is
[19:09] <battlehands> my eyes are tired
[19:09] <DasEi> battlehands: use the standard ubuntu, but mind 32/64
[19:09] <DasEi> and.. ah you found it
[19:09] <jimm_> what is Reboot Exploit patch date?

[19:10] <DasEi> !headers  | maicod
[19:10] <Guido2> the sound is not played wel with vlc, if i set it as alert in mozilla, but it is in totem etc. and in the brouwser and on another computer - also ubuntu 10.04 i have no problems
[19:10] <battlehands> DasEi, how do Iknow which version I'm using?  I know it's 12.04 Desktop, but I don't know which one that is in the version list.
[19:10] <DasEi> maicod: have a look at FAQ of vbox, all nicely explained
[19:11] <DasEi> battlehands: 12.04 is precise pangolin
[19:11] <battlehands> pangolin?
[19:11] <OerHeks> battlehands, if you use that list, it will download again.
[19:11] <battlehands> geez
[19:11] <battlehands> OerHeks, wjhat?
[19:11] <jimm_> how to find Reboot Exploit patch date?
[19:11] <battlehands> OerHeks, oh! thanks!
[19:11] <triyo> tomreyn: is there no way to get verbose info from dependency errors?
[19:11] <OerHeks> use the option below, to add your own iso
[19:12] <battlehands> OerHeks, yeah I see it now.  Thanks  :)
[19:12] <DasEi> :)
[19:12] <battlehands> what a cool piece of software
[19:12] <OerHeks> multi functional yes
[19:12] <DasEi> ... have a tea, give it some time to pull the bag, all easy
[19:12] <tomtiger11> mutio: I don't have the computers here XD
[19:12] <maicod> ubottu: thanks. It says " linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic-pae is already the newest version.
[19:12] <maicod> LOL
[19:12] <bekks> tomtiger11: Then you have to investigate it when having physical access.
[19:13] <DasEi> maicod: sec, I gfu
[19:13] <tomreyn> triyo: gee, i just don't get it. you have a lot of natty packages installed, which is fine since this is supposed to be a natty system. you also have all the APT sources setup you need to have for natty. however, you have a whole bunch of natty packages where the system does no longer know they actually belong to natty, and that they are still available in natty by this name and in exactly the version you have.
[19:14] <tomreyn> maybe it makes more sense to have another peoson look into this, since i don't seem to make much progress now.
[19:14] <maicod> DasEi: sorry I didnt notice it was you controlling the bot :)
[19:14] <tomreyn> *person
[19:14] <bfortified> Troy^, does the security = user line make it so that a user account from the samba server has to used? My wife would have to use my acct or i would have to make her one to acces the share?

[19:16] <tomtiger11> How would I create a wired network of 13 computers?
[19:16] <Troy^> bfortified: security = user required uname and pass of the linux box and then windows will most likely never ask again especially if you have it mounted in my computer
[19:16] <tomtiger11> And have one of them a LTSP server
[19:16] <bfortified> Troy^, k
[19:16] <tomreyn> triyo: you're welcome, sorry we couldn't solve this
[19:16] <ChaosRobie> hello I was wondering if anyone could help me with installation
[19:16] <maicod> dasei: thats also counting for vmware ?
[19:16] <absentbird> Specifically when I go to configure displays it does not see my monitor(s)
[19:17] <DasEi> maicod: there is an extra channel for that, read given link, you probably also don't want the ose-version from repos I guess, ah sorry, no but similar, there
[19:17] <triyo> tomreyn: no worry, it does seem like a bit of an odd case.
[19:17] <rAad> I've got a list of environmental variables in a file. How can I use 'export' to add the environment vars?
[19:17] <absentbird> My home parition has also been used for a linux mint install so I think it might be something in my home folder causing the problem.
[19:17] <skroot> my win7 client cant authenticate over pptp. the chap file and his user account are identical and we know the password is right, however it says it is not
[19:17] <maicod> dasei: parts of vmware tools install fine but only a few functions like copy/paste from vm to host isnt installing :(
[19:18] <maicod> it says that I should check 'make, binutils, gcc and kernel source" and run it again
[19:18] <DasEi> maicod: look at their faqs, I'm off vmwaretools, but it's same there and also fine documted in the FAQ / free tuts
[19:18] <maicod> if I run vmware-config-tools.pl
[19:18] <tomreyn> triyo: one more thought - do you use a http proxy server by chance? echo $http_proxy
[19:18] <bekks> tomtiger11: Buy a 16 port gigabit ethernet switch, buy 16 cables, connect your computers to your switch. Install and configure LTSP on the "server". Done.
[19:18] <maicod> OK thanks
[19:19] <learc83> I'm loading ubuntu on a tablet with an Atmel touchscreen controller, Touchscreen doesn't work on 12.04, but does on 12.10, however beta 1 is ultra buggy on my hardware, If I install 12.04, and upgrade the kernel do you think the touchscreen will work?
[19:19] <tomtiger11> bekks: Right, Ok
[19:19] <bekks> tomtiger11: But first, take a look at the documentation of LTSP.
[19:19] <DasEi> learc83: why not just try by backports on 12.04 ?
[19:20] <bfortified> Troy^, LOL it never even prompted for uname etc
[19:20] <Brightgalrs> hello, I am looking for someone to walk me through a rather unique/complex installation process
[19:20] <bfortified> Troy^, Thanks man your a huge help
[19:20] <wolfric> i seem to be having a small problem... iptables doesn't seem to be working... i've just straight up added DROP to INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD  for iptables and ip6tables and everything goes on working as usual
[19:20] <jrib> !ask | Brightgalrs
[19:20] <wolfric> at the top of the list
[19:21] <tomtiger11> bekks: A 16 port ethernet swich is expensive
[19:21] <Troy^> bfortified: there you go i knew it was either one of those couldn't quite remember because i have the shared drives mount in my computer and they are always there accessible when i reboot etc.
[19:21] <21WAAFEW9> tomtiger11: No it is not, i have a 24 port one
[19:21] <bekks> tomtiger11: Well, there are no 13-port ones.
[19:21] <learc83> DasEi how do I try backports, is there just a package to install?
[19:22] <bekks> tomtiger11: And 16 port switches are not expensive - and this is starting to get offtopic in here.
[19:22] <DasEi> !backports | learc83
[19:22] <absentbird> So when I go to nvidia-settings it gives me an error. How can I fix that?
[19:22] <jrib> absentbird: I'd suggest mentioning the error
[19:22] <DasEi> learc83: you uncomment the according lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:22] <tomtiger11> bekks: Il steer it on-topic. Where do I get a 16 port ethernet swich from?
[19:22] <bekks> tomtiger11: From a shop.
[19:22] <learc83> DasEi thanks I'll try it
[19:22] <Troy^> lol
[19:23] <absentbird> jrex: I don't want to dump it here. Where is the right place to paste it?
[19:23] <jrib> !paste | absentbird
[19:23] <absentbird> jrex: this is the first line: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
[19:23] <Troy^> !pastebinit
[19:23] <DasEi> learc83: then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, then might have to reboot (until using uptrack/Ksplice)
[19:23] <jrib> absentbird: what do you want to accomplish?
[19:24] <kale> is there a way to make the new ubuntu v12 look like the good old 10.04 lts?
[19:24] <absentbird> !pastebinit You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[19:24] <Brightgalrs> How do I install ubuntu on a netbook with the follow specifications (archlinux installed, no cd drive, forgetten username and password) with the following items (a ~1.8gb flashdrive, router connected to internet, desktop running windows 7).
[19:24] <absentbird> jrib: I want to use the Nvidia driver
[19:25] <jrib> absentbird: run "Hardware Drivers" (or whatever it's called nowadays).  The terminal command is « jockey-gtk »
[19:25] <jrib> !nvidia | absentbird
[19:25] <DasEi> kale: the core of all 'buntus is always same, just package selection isn't so can use any windowmanager which you then can finegrain to your likings
[19:26] <absentbird> jrib: I have followed the steps but I am still having issues.
[19:26] <Ericson2314> does anybody know how to adjust audio buffering?
[19:26] <jrib> absentbird: you need to be more specific.
[19:26] <Ericson2314> i have foudn that unity causes my sound to be choppy
[19:26] <OerHeks> Brightgalrs, like you did with arch ?
[19:26] <Guddu> My ubuntu is stuck on logout. It said Do you want to close all programs and no matter if i press Cancel or Log out button nothing happend
[19:26] <Ericson2314> even cinnamon (sans desktop effects) which is still gnome 3 under the hood doesn't have the problem (too bad at least)
[19:26] <Brightgalrs> OerHeks: my friend helped me install arch, I don't know exactly how to do that
[19:26] <theixle> absentbird: I had a bad experience recently with NVIDIA proprietary drivers. There is news that NVIDIA is releasing some new OPTIMUS supported drivers, so if that's your case you may want to just wait.
[19:27] <leslie_> G'day to all, I am having a problem connecting to the internet on another computer I just installed  Ubuntu 12.04 on I am showing that I am connected to the Router, but cannot connect outside.  I could sure use some help
[19:27] <kale> DasEi: so do you know which windowmanager i am missing on v12?
[19:27] <Guddu> I did a shutdown and it opened and that dialgo box has same problems....can't shutdown either
[19:27] <theixle> I apologize for being late to the convo so I odn't have the full backstory.
[19:27] <Guddu> I have pressed the buttton 10 times now
[19:27] <Guddu> please help
[19:27] <Guddu> Shall i do a POWER OFF?
[19:27] <jrib> kale: please just call it 12.04, there isn't really a "v12"
[19:27] <DasEi> !pure gnome | kale
[19:27] <absentbird> jrib: Well I thought I had the Nvidia drivers properly set up but I am still getting an error from `nvidia-settings` that says I am not using them.
[19:28] <jrib> absentbird: so what happens when you run « jockey-gtk »?
[19:28] <countley> were can i watch movies online using ubuntu
[19:28] <DasEi> what was the trigger for pure gnome ?
[19:28] <Guddu> Basically none of the windows are closing
[19:28] <shihan> guddu: if you dont need antying on the desktop, hit ctrl-alt-f1, login then type "sudo poweroff"
[19:29] <jrib> !puregnome | DasEi
[19:29] <Troy^> countley: that is not specific to ubuntu ?
[19:29] <kale> DasEi: are you telleing me that i just need to do "# apt-get install gnome" ?
[19:29] <DasEi> kale: saw jrib above ?!
[19:29] <absentbird> jrib: I get the standard 3rd party drivers list.
[19:29] <jrib> absentbird: and?
[19:29] <countley> ok linux
[19:29] <absentbird> jrib: The one I am using is activated
[19:29] <jrib> DasEi: that's not really what kale wants
[19:29] <Brightgalrs> How do I install ubuntu on a netbook with the follow specifications (archlinux installed, no cd drive, forgetten username and password) with the following items (a ~1.8gb flashdrive, router connected to internet, ethernet cords, desktop running windows 7)?
[19:29] <Troy^> countley: not really linux either, this really isn't the place to ask for streaming sites
[19:30] <GeekAdmin> Other than ClamAV, Avast, and AVG, are there any other virus scanners you can run in Ubuntu?
[19:30] <absentbird> jrib: it says 'this driver is activated but not currently in use'
[19:30] <countley> troy behave
[19:30] <jrib> absentbird: you need to reboot then
[19:30] <absentbird> alright
[19:31] <OerHeks> Brightgalrs, extended installation wiki > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation i think you need this part >>> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[19:31] <countley> i usually use window to watch movies on z.movies but it dont seem to work on my linux box
[19:31] <countley> can someone help me` please
[19:32] <mininessie> does ubuntu have rolling relase ppas for kde
[19:32] <pth> Brightgalrs: The application unetbootin is handy for installing things on the USB stick, e.g. the live image of ubuntu.
[19:32] <DasEi> kale: exact same only by own configuration, but you can oc try other desktops as well as having them installed in parallel, thing is, the different versions of gnome won't comply with newer systems, but always worth a try, either install it or look in a vm for look and feel
[19:32] <Troy^> !warez | countley
[19:33] <mininessie> does ubuntu have rolling relase ppas for kde
[19:33] <iceroot> mininessie: not official supported ones
[19:33] <DasEi> mininessie: possible, least testing repos
[19:33] <k1l_> mininessie: ubuntu is not a rolling release.
[19:34] <mininessie> i know ubuntu is not but all i want is kde rolling release lol
[19:34] <kale> DasEi: my question is really. how do i get my good old menus back. is it because i need to installed another windowmanager than the default one?
[19:34] <Phiscribe> mininessie maybe try chakra linux, its a half rollling relase, but it wont fit on a cd i dont belive
[19:34] <TrPlayers> s.a
[19:34] <countley> who's saying im gonna watch pirate movies stop being an a s s h o l e troy
[19:34] <Guddu> thanks shihan
[19:34] <iceroot> countley: whatch your language please
[19:35] <shihan> np
[19:35] <k1l_> !language > countley
[19:35] <DasEi> kale: you can choose the session before logging in to desktop, choose classic (or take a look at other things, like lubuntu)
[19:35] <mininessie> i want to get away from arch and gentoo for the tiem being but most distros are me frustrated with getting apps install when the repos don't have it lol
[19:35] <iceroot> mininessie: debian sid with kde if you really want always the newest kde version
[19:35] <iceroot> mininessie: with ubuntu there is nothing like that (supported)
[19:35] <DasEi> countley: nvm, this technical ubuntu-support, and no general chatroom
[19:35] <kale> DasEi: hmm... didn't find the "classic" options yesterday, will take a look again when it is installed.
[19:36] <battlehands> once I used unetbootin, the usb stick is showing up on the drivers list.  I tried moving it up in the boot priority, but it wouldn't let me.  so, I just disabled the hdd and lan from booting, and then the usb was able to be the first enabled boot device.  However, it appears to just be running a desktop session of lubuntu.  Can I reformat my drive with lubuntu?
[19:36] <DasEi> kale: mind jri.. again : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[19:36] <Ericson2314> anybody know about audio choppiness with unity?
[19:37] <Ericson2314> how i can make it go away?
[19:37] <iceroot> battlehands: the lubuntu cd has also a installer
[19:37] <kale> DasEi: as jrib said, i do not want puregnome. i need k3b kdenlive
[19:37] <battlehands> iceroot, could you guide me to access it?
[19:37] <DasEi> battlehands: yes, you now are already live on the usb on your new box ? good sign ..
[19:37] <iceroot> battlehands: on boot there should be something like "install" "try" and "memtest"
[19:37] <leslie_> I cannot seem to connect to the internet on a puter that I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on, I can connect to the router, but no further 2 other computers both running Ubuntu work perfectly on the same wireless Router, I am not sure of where I am going wrong, and sure could use a helping hand
[19:37] <iceroot> battlehands: also on your lubuntu desktop there should be a shortcut for the installer
[19:37] <pth> Ericson2314: What is it like the choppiness?
[19:37] <battlehands> iceroot, you are correct
[19:38] <DasEi> kale:ah did't saw your initial question, install kubuntu-desktop,  reboot, choose session
[19:38] <Ericson2314> oh sorry
[19:38] <Troy^> leslie_: you using dhcp or static network configuration?
[19:38] <Ericson2314> the audio is very choppy
[19:38] <kale> DasEi: ok, great thanks
[19:38] <Ericson2314> i think with the graphical intensity of unity
[19:38] <Ericson2314> not enough cpu left over for normal audio settings
[19:38] <Guest82770> my 12.04 system don't recognice nvidia graphic card
[19:38] <Ericson2314> i need to buffer more
[19:39] <DasEi> battlehands: but your hd has to be connected for the installer to find it
[19:39] <pth> leslie_: Some routers have a maximum of 2 connections at a time.
[19:39] <DasEi> battlehands: often the +/- keys are used in bios of lappys to change bootorder
[19:39] <leslie_> Troy, I believe that I am usingdhcp
[19:40] <battlehands> DasEi, thank you
[19:40] <pth> Ericson2314: Have you tried switching off unneccessary graphical functionality in unity? Have not tried it myself, but this was an option in Gnome.
[19:41] <fatfreddyscat> hi everyone. I'm having a hard time mounting a partition on a usb hard drive.
[19:41] <Ericson2314> pth: haven't
[19:41] <Ericson2314> it would probably work
[19:41] <Ericson2314> but i wanna buffer
[19:41] <Ericson2314> cause that is a more robust fix
[19:41] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: (nice nick) more details ?
[19:41] <Troy^> leslie_: iwconfig | pastebinit
[19:41] <leslie_> pth, The router is in the company that my mate leslie works for and the box that I am trying to connect worked fine on 10.04
[19:42] <new2ubuntu> Is this where I can receive help with Lubuntu 12.04?
[19:42] <DasEi> yes, new2ubuntu
[19:42] <fatfreddyscat> I'm trying to mount this partition. it's encrypted via luks. I can issue the luksOpen command, I can mount the partition (dev/sdc1) but then after a few seconds I get errors and the disk reinitialises as dev/hdd1 and hde1 hdf1 and so on. I've chased it half way up the alphabet and every time I only get a few seconds time to read  the data on it
[19:42] <new2ubuntu> I have it on an old computer and it works pretty good for only 512 mb of memory
[19:43] <leslie_> Troy, brb I will have to put thqt on a key
[19:43] <skroot> new2ubuntu, up until a few weeks ago i ran ubuntu server on 128mb ram
[19:43] <fatfreddyscat> I can't tell what is causing the reset.
[19:43] <fatfreddyscat> I don't even have enough time to do an fsck on it before it moves up the alphabet another notch
[19:43] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: so 1) you got an external usb and an internal OS  (correct me, if I'm wrong)
[19:43] <fatfreddyscat> correct
[19:44] <Troy^> leslie_: oh yea sorry you can't pastebinit.. can be easy via ssh though copy and paste the output of iwconfig
[19:44] <new2ubuntu> skroot, I have a friend that told me he still has on old 3.0 computer, I thought about running some sort of Linux on it, but I don't know what will run on it, if anything. right now it has windows 3.0 or something like that.
[19:44] <Ejdesgaard> I thought ubuntu-12.04 was i386 compatable... but it seems to be >=i686...
[19:44] <skroot> 3.1
[19:45] <skroot> i remember growing up to windows 3.1
[19:45] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: with 512mb of ram it most likely isn't running windows 3.0
[19:45] <skroot> yea really
[19:45] <DasEi> 2) you not just issued luksOpen, but also lvm2, mknodes, scan for arrays and have the dir of the open luks ?
[19:45] <skroot> maybe 8mb
[19:45] <skroot> or 512kb
[19:45] <Troy^> lol
[19:45] <fatfreddyscat> here is the dmesg output http://pastebin.com/Mp4kcXiX
[19:46] <new2ubuntu> Troy^: the 512 of ram is what I'm running now, the other one with 3.1 on it, is another computer I don't have here. sorry for the confusion.
[19:46] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: yea i woudn't even bother with the junk your friend is offering you
[19:46] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: thing is, you also need the lm-support , the nodes and arrays, then luks will go to a mapper, where then data can be accesed (or another mountpoint created)
[19:47] <DasEi> LVM-S..*
[19:47] <new2ubuntu> it's free and it would be fun to mess with, maybe something like puppy or antix will run on it. who knows. Troy^
[19:47] <Troy^> the processor is probablly like 66/100/133mhz new2ubuntu
[19:48] <a565634> Hi, can a signed java applet write to/read from any file on the system?
[19:48] <lkeijser> hi, what's /var/cache/apt-xapian-index for?
[19:48] <bekks> a565634: The signature means nothing.
[19:48] <fatfreddyscat> correct. I can do that.  in short order I can do this: 1) luksopen 2) mount /dev/mapper/balbla 3) access data for a few seconds and then the disk disappears, reappears as  sdf sdg or whatever, the mouint no longer works. I can start again
[19:48] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: open the luks : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html
[19:48] <new2ubuntu> now getting back to this Lubuntu, what is the format to a 12 hour clock instead of the 24? anybody know how to set that?
[19:48] <a565634> bekks: what do you mean?
[19:49] <bekks> a565634: The fact an app is signed tells you nothing about what it is able to do and what not.
[19:49] <fatfreddyscat> DasEi - danke. I'll check that out and report back.
[19:49] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: after a sucesfull opening, you'll find it in /dev/mapper >> mount that to a point, and there you can have addiional mountpoints
[19:49] <a565634> bekks: I thought signed applets have more permissions than unsigned ones, is that wrong?
[19:50] <TylerKG123> :
[19:50]  * shihan whips out some very very old cd's with linux on them, might run one of these: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49959760/IMG_20120909_054830.jpg lol
[19:50] <TylerKG123> Guys?
[19:50] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: never used lubuntu but can you right click on clock and go to properties
[19:50] <fatfreddyscat> I know. but they only work for a few brief seconds.
[19:50] <TylerKG123> I could use a little help, guys
[19:50] <fatfreddyscat> then the usb resets and the partition reenters the system with a new letter.
[19:50] <DasEi> Troy^: clock ? yupp
[19:50] <TylerKG123> I know this seems nooby, but how do I level up on Zelda 2 for NES? :/
[19:50] <bekks> a565634: It is entirely wrong.
[19:50] <rAad> 1/leave
[19:51] <a565634> bekks: then can an applet have rw access to any file it wants, signed or unsigned?
[19:51] <Troy^> DasEi: you new2ubuntu as well? is there a format change for the time?
[19:51] <ArchangelSe7en> hullo there !
[19:51] <new2ubuntu> Troy^:  that's where I'm at... digital clock settings and it has some weird formats for the settings... clock format: %R and tool tip format: %A %x
[19:52] <DasEi> Troy^: not exactly new, but an autodidact, what do you change in F ? date-cmd is still same
[19:52] <bekks> a565634: Sure.
[19:52] <ArchangelSe7en> it is said that Ubuntu will be available on Smartphones by 2013 ?
[19:52] <LLStarks> how do i manage gnome3 user accounts from the terminal?
[19:52] <a565634> bekks: thanks, but http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/security.html what about these distinctions?
[19:52] <ArchangelSe7en> I assume that there will be ROMs for every device out there or ...
[19:53] <ArchangelSe7en> LLStarks, adduser
[19:53] <LLStarks> i want to change my full name, but it crashes the desktop
[19:53] <DasEi> LLStarks: same as other surfaces, adduser, deluser .. and so on
[19:53] <bekks> a565634: Ask Oracle - it doesnt have anything to do with Ubuntu directly :)
[19:53] <bekks> ArchangelSe7en: LOL
[19:53] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: and DasEi try %l:%M %P
[19:53] <LLStarks> DasEi, i only want to change the full name, not the login name
[19:54] <new2ubuntu> I love the terminal, it saves so much time... apt-get install whatever I need.
[19:54] <ArchangelSe7en> bekks, I'm a tech sompleton , and I assume that isnt correct ?
[19:54] <shihan> usermod -C "new name" username will do what your after
[19:54] <a565634> bekks: I see, so if I allow my browser to run an applet, it can potentially access all my files right? isn't this bad?
[19:54] <LLStarks> thx
[19:54] <leslie_> Troy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193322/
[19:54] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: i made the full switch to ubuntu a month ago. this system doesn't even have windows installed anymore. also have my linux server
[19:54] <bekks> ArchangelSe7en: Hold on, I am still laughing.... :D No, it isnt correct. And no, there will NEVER be ROMs for every device.
[19:55] <bekks> a565634: Sure.
[19:55] <Trijit> hi all
[19:55] <ArchangelSe7en> bekks, would you be kind and explain :)
[19:55] <shihan> err, sorry, usermod -c (lowercase c)
[19:55] <LLStarks> shihan, tx
[19:55] <new2ubuntu> this unit doesn't have windows on it either, none of my computer do except for one and it's only for office suite to set up presentations.
[19:55] <DasEi> LLStarks: you could edit the config-files, why not simply add / deluser ??
[19:56] <bekks> ArchangelSe7en: Explain what? :) That most manufacturers will NOT allow anyone to have a closer view at their ROMs?
[19:56] <bekks> s/view/look/
[19:56] <Troy^> leslie_: is that router setup to support 802.11g and 802.11n seems as though your wireless card installed only supports as high as 802.11g i know alot of newer routers have options to specifically only be 802.11n and or 802.11n/802.11g compatability mode.
[19:57] <LLStarks> btw, bug in question: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango1.0/+bug/1041756
[19:57] <ArchangelSe7en> bekks, so how will ubuntu be available on smartphones then ?
[19:58] <new2ubuntu> how to share a printer using ubuntu, now that will be interesting.
[19:58] <Brightgalrs> How do I install ubuntu on a netbook with the follow specifications (archlinux installed, no cd drive, forgetten username and password, flashdrive is not recognized as bootable) with the following items (a ~1.8gb flashdrive, router connected to internet, desktop running windows 7)?
[19:58] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: it is fairly easy hold on there is a guid
[19:59] <leslie_> Troy, that I don't know, my mate leslie is a good mech engineer but knows very little about computers and networking.  I will have to get in contact with the puter guy
[19:59] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-printserver.html
[20:00] <bekks> ArchangelSe7en: It will not. :)
[20:00] <DasEi> LLStarks: what happens if you go by deluser and then adduser again ? launchpad saying bug 2012-08-26 confirmed
[20:01] <Troy^> leslie_: do you know the ip of your gateway(router?) like <IP_ADDRESS> you can login to its web gui
[20:01] <Troy^> leslie_: this is of course you have access and have login credentials
[20:01] <leslie_> He (leslie) is the engineer for the plant where he is connected on the other boxes/laptops it's just this old tower thqt we're having trouble with (and I with this French Keybd)
[20:02] <Brightgalrs> How do I install ubuntu on a netbook with the follow specifications (archlinux installed, no cd drive, forgetten username and password) with the following items (a ~1.8gb flashdrive, router connected to internet, desktop running windows 7)."
 Pretty sure actually.
[20:03] <leslie_> Troy, I woouldn't dare go into the company router
[20:03] <shihan> Brightgalrs, maybe this would help u https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[20:03] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: Put the Ubuntu installer on the flash drive by following http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[20:03] <ArchangelSe7en> could it be teblet PC with ARM processors bekks ?
[20:03] <Troy^> new2ubuntu: so i was right with %I:%M %p
[20:03] <guntbert> !ot | ArchangelSe7en
[20:03] <Tico> hello
[20:03] <Brightgalrs> Jordan_U: I've done that, the usb is not recognized as bootable
[20:03] <bekks> ArchangelSe7en: There is no ARM version of Ubuntu.
[20:03] <bekks> AFAIK.
[20:04] <shihan> there sure is an ubuntu for arm
[20:04] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: Have you ever booted from USB on this machine?
[20:04] <shihan> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM
[20:04] <Brightgalrs> Jordan_U: Yes. But not while it was running arch linux
[20:04] <DasEi> bekks: just some upcoming news, but coming up (arm)
[20:04] <ArchangelSe7en> my apologies guntbert thought that IS Ubuntu-releted
[20:04] <ArchangelSe7en> I'll move it out
[20:04] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: you need to edit your bios boot device
[20:05] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: it's top priority
[20:05] <Troy^> removable device?
[20:05] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: the flashdrive Im using, that is
[20:05] <guntbert> ArchangelSe7en: related, yes - but this channel is for ubuntu *support* only
[20:05] <Brightgalrs> yeah
[20:05] <nyRednek> ArchangelSe7en: there isn't an arm ubuntu *yet*
[20:05] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: and you followed that guide step by step in the url? for putting it on your usb drive?
[20:05] <shihan> i
[20:06] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: What was the last bootable USB drive that did work on this netbook?
[20:06] <ArchangelSe7en> nyRednek, I know but that isnt what I'm confused about
[20:06] <shihan> i've been running ubuntu on arm for quite some time, there is mostly definitely ubuntu for ARM
[20:06] <ArchangelSe7en> note taken guntbert
[20:06] <Brightgalrs> Jordan_U: When it was running windows 7
[20:07] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: the operating system would not affect boot order.. it is set by the bios
[20:07] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: The OS installed on the machine has no bearing on what USB drive the machine can boot from. What was on the USB drive that you booted from?
[20:07] <fatfreddyscat> DasEi: thanks. It works now. I think I was missing lvm
[20:07] <Brightgalrs> Are you guys sure?
[20:07] <nyRednek> shihan: my bad...thought it was still in the alpa research stage...i was going to direct him to debian...sorry
[20:07] <Brightgalrs> I'm pretty sure I;ve read something about the usb kernal not working
[20:07] <Brightgalrs> the archlinux install was rather incomplete
[20:08] <Froward> my webcam gives an upside down image and the mic doesn't work >_< oh ubuntu.
[20:08] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: like we said that doesn't matter
[20:08] <Froward> I'm not requesting help, just bitching. Sorry.
[20:08] <int19h> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm
[20:08] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: nice to read (mknodes rather, it usually prompts if lvm2 isn't installed)
[20:08] <shihan> ubuntu for arm doesnt quite support as many architectures as debian, so in some cases, debian is a better choice
[20:08] <fatfreddyscat> or that. yeah.
[20:09] <Troy^> what mobo or computer model Brightgalrs
[20:09] <fatfreddyscat> now I'm running an fsck. it's taking ages but seems to be progressing
[20:09] <fatfreddyscat> :)
[20:09] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: The contents of the internal hard drive aren't even read when you boot a machine via USB. All the code needed for booting from USB is in the firmware of the device, installing Archlinux doesn't change the firmware at all.
[20:09] <Brightgalrs> Troy^/Jordan_U: It's the same flashdrive that I used to get archlinux on it
[20:09] <Brightgalrs> uhhh
[20:09] <DasEi> fatfreddyscat: mounted ?? you have to run it just on the UNmounted mapper ??!!!
[20:09] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: Acer aspire one
[20:10] <Troy^> did you format the usb drive before using pendrive? Brightgalrs
[20:10] <fatfreddyscat> yes. I am doing fsck /dev/mapper/diskname
[20:10] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: pendrive?
[20:10] <fatfreddyscat> but earlier that didn't even work.
[20:10] <nyRednek> fatfreddyscat: the format would be mkfs
[20:10] <fatfreddyscat> unmounted of course
[20:10] <BebopSteve> Why doesn't the 3d option work when docky is anywhere but the bottom?
[20:10] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: you used this guide right http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[20:10] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: Is pendrive similar to UNetbootin?
[20:10] <shihan> oh, i've got an aspire one, not a bad little netbook :)
[20:11] <DasEi> fine then , e2fsck -y /dev/mapper/whatever,  and beforehad  mount revealed it wasn't mounted,  good crypting then
[20:11] <Troy^> Brightgalrs: i assume not... follow that guide
[20:11] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: Ok will do
[20:12] <guntbert> shihan: please drop those off topic comments - they don't help here
[20:12] <shihan> rgr
[20:12] <DasEi> Brightgalrs: unetbootin let's you have extra space for persistent storage, but in the view of an bootable installer, effect is same
[20:12] <new2ubuntu> ok I now have my clock as 12 hour format. thank you
[20:13] <DasEi> Brightgalrs: there are other tolls around , like startupcreator (beat for exaxt name), and some distros can even be dd'ed/sync'd over
[20:13] <skroot> in term
[20:13] <DasEi> tools*
[20:14] <skroot> what are the folder with green backgrounds?
[20:14] <Brightgalrs> DasEi: ok thanks for the info
[20:14] <Brightgalrs> Troy^: The flashdrive is formatted like the guide says
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: Can you try booting the USB drive on your Desktop machine to confirm that it was created properly?
[20:15] <Troy^> ok now stick it in and turn it on.. if removeable drive is first in boot order it shoot boot,
[20:15] <Brightgalrs> Jordan_U: Ok Ill do it now
[20:15] <DasEi> skroot: green=executables, blue=dirs
[20:15] <Brightgalrs> err
[20:15] <DasEi> skroot: white=files
[20:15] <skroot> symlinks show as executables too?
[20:16] <DasEi> skroot: yes
[20:16] <skroot> ah
[20:16] <Jordan_U> Brightgalrs: If it doesn't boot from the Desktop either then you probably didn't create it properly and you should try again following exactly the instructions @ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows . If it *does* boot on your Desktop then you have a buggy BIOS and it might help to setup the drive to be bootable using grub (a manual process) since often computers that won't boot drives setup with ...
[20:17] <Jordan_U> ... syslinux will boot from drives setup with grub (and visa-versa).
[20:17] <shihan> Brightgalrs, Troy^ : btw, with the acer aspire one, you can hit f12 during post to get a boot selection screen thingame
[20:17] <BebopSteve> I'm sorry for "shopping," in a way, but this is driving me crazy.  Can anyone advise regarding this?  http://askubuntu.com/questions/185585/nvidia-twinview-and-window-placement
[20:18] <int19h> most distros iso's can be direclty dd'd to a usb/sd/mmc and work just fine, so long as your bios supports booting from that perticular device.
[20:18] <int19h> you dont usualy need all those crap apps like unet and pendrive
[20:19] <Jordan_U> int19h: It's surprisingly difficult (though possible) to do the equivalent of "dd" from Windows.
[20:20] <int19h> if yer in windows, http://sourceforge.net/projects/windd/
[20:21] <Troy^> shihan: thanks for the info. hopefully Brightgalrs notices it as well
[20:21] <chico39_> someone knows the card is to quit smoking? http://reducercard.xopie.com
[20:21] <int19h> rawwrite used to be pretty good too
[20:22] <DasEi> int19h: I know, but recent 12.04 lubuntu failed, and I didn't want to drag people into casper first hand
[20:22] <DasEi> .. also it changes on 'buntu here and then, not so debian
[20:22] <potofcoffee> Hi. I upgraded my precise-amd64 install to quantal beta today. Everything went fine as far as the upgrade is concerned, but now I'm unable to log into unity because compiz segfaults. I first suspected my ati (fglrx) drivers, but I disabled them via jockey-text and still get a segfault. Any ideas?
[20:22] <dr_willis> potofcoffee:  see #ubuntu+1 for 12.10 problems
[20:22] <auronandace> !12.10 | potofcoffee
[20:23] <potofcoffee> Thanks. I wasn't aware of that room. Sorry.
[20:23] <Tico> anyone who can help me fix this https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ke3xncai6ra2ju/2012-09-08%2021.57.51.jpg i want to install ubuntu 12.04 on mac via usbstick created in windows using pendrive usb installer :(
[20:23] <int19h> http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.5.zip is a console one written from the ground up under gpl for windows
[20:24] <Troy^> Tico: what .iso image did you put on the usb drive?
[20:25] <thor__> hi
[20:25] <Tico> Troy^: ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:26] <thor__> guys i need to know if is possible install the gtk3 theme of win 7 in ubuntu 12.04
[20:26] <int19h> Tico: try appending noacpi to the kernel arguments
[20:26] <Brightgalrs> Ok so its definatly a problem with the usb drie
[20:26] <Troy^> Tico: Get your Ubuntu Live CD ready. The Live CD should work, but if you have trouble, try the Alternate Install CD. If you have a Core2 Duo Mac (as oppossed to the Core Duo), it is capable of using the AMD64 (64bit) CD otherwise you have to use the standard version. There is a lot of information about the good/bad of a 64bit install
[20:26] <Brightgalrs> errr
[20:27] <Brightgalrs> f;ashdrive
[20:27] <Tico> int19h: can i do it without booting ubuntu installer menu?
[20:27] <Troy^> so Tico what processor is your mac using
[20:27] <Tico> Troy^: 2,5 GHz intel core i5
[20:28] <int19h> tico, i bealive you can just type when the language choice comes up
[20:29] <Troy^> Tico: i believe you need the alternate image.. and if you only have 4gb of ram 32bit may be another choice as well
[20:29] <Tico> int19h: i use 64-bit
[20:30] <Tico> i mean to Troy^
[20:30] <tomreyn> Tico: if you have 4GB or RAM you want amd64. if the usb key doesn't work, try your HDD?
[20:30] <int19h> the problem is the acpi implementation on many macs
[20:30] <Tico> int19h: it doesn't come up the language selection
[20:30] <int19h> just pass the kernel the noacpi or acpi=no kernel argument
[20:30] <Troy^> Tico: use the alternate .iso for 64bit
[20:30] <int19h> it just boots?
[20:31] <thor__> guys how can I install a new theme at ubuntu 12.04?
[20:31] <tomreyn> int19h: he tried that last time he was here
[20:31] <dr_willis> thor__:  for what desktop?
[20:31] <Tico> int19h: it boots, but it boots only to black installer menu not the grub menu, the white ubuntu logo
[20:31] <Tico> Troy^: is it same as ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[20:32] <Troy^> Tico: no
[20:32] <int19h> thats the menu, i think you hit "e" on that black meny
[20:32] <int19h> menu
[20:32] <thor__> dr_willis gnome
[20:32] <int19h> thats just the efi boot menu
[20:32] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/5-nice-gnome-34-themes-ubuntu-ppa.html
[20:32] <Troy^> Tico: ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso
[20:32] <Tico> tomreyn: i got private files on it, i don't want to mess with it :/
[20:33] <Tico> Troy^: whats the difference?
[20:33] <Tico> tomreyn: i tried the usb key on a pc, it worked like a charm
[20:33] <thor__> dr_willis I need to install the win2-7 for a friend
[20:34] <dr_willis> thor__:  dont know what you mean by win2-7
[20:34] <Tico> tomreyn: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ke3xncai6ra2ju/2012-09-08%2021.57.51.jpg
[20:34] <Troy^> Tico: you using rEFind
[20:34] <thor__> it is a theme, its like windows 7
[20:35] <thor__> it use the same aspect
[20:35] <dr_willis> thor__:  and where did it come from?
[20:35] <thor__> my friend is new in linux,
[20:35] <Tico> Troy^: i use refit
[20:35] <thor__> gnomelook
[20:35] <dr_willis> is it a gnome2  or gnome3 theme? normally you can just extract them to your .themes directory
[20:35] <thor__> gnome3
[20:36] <thor__> thenks
[20:36] <thor__> thanks dr
[20:36] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/56493/ubuntu-theme-installer-crashes-whenever-i-try-to-install-a-new-theme shows the commands to do it.
[20:37] <dr_willis> note that some 'themes' are in fact just parts of a theme. :) for window decoration, widgits, icons, whatever...
[20:37] <dr_willis> not a 'full' theme

[20:38] <dr_willis> i reccomend just using the default themes, or others in the repos or that url i gave earlier of '5 great themes'  - theres a lot out there thats either buggy or hidious
[20:38] <thor__> thank you dr_willis

[20:56] <mohit> Hi I am a newbie. I've a problem I cannot change the brightness of screen. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 on sony vaio vpceh. Please Help.
[20:57] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/124520/sony-vaio-vpceh-1s1-the-set-brightness-buttons-fnf5-f6-not-working-also-gr
[20:58] <dr_willis> aparently the linked 'fix' is on a russian site. ;P --> http://blog.pavelb.ru/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-in-sony-vaio-vpceh-touchpad.html
[20:59] <dr_willis> looks like you install then nvidia drivers, run nvidia-settings   make a xorg.conf file. then edit it adding a line.
[20:59] <min|dvir|us> Hi. Is there anything like Byobu but where I can pin terminal tabs?
[20:59] <mohit> I've already install latest drivers.
[20:59] <opieng> I have been using Ubuntu so far, is there any advtanges to using Kubuntu?
[21:00] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=sony+vaio+vpceh+   has some other tips for that laptop
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> opieng  try it to find out
[21:00] <damianos> I need some help with l2tpd and openswan. when specifying local ip in xl2tpd.conf what do I put in there? does it have to be a numeric ip address or can I put in my ddns domain?
[21:00] <dr_willis> opieng:  if you want fancier desktop with lots of tweakability.
[21:01] <soman> how to find out free disc space on mu drives in Ubuntu 12.04?
[21:01] <opieng> In terms of Linux capabilities are they both equally as capable, i.e. is there anything I couldnt do on both?
[21:01] <bekks> soman: By typing "df -h" in a terminal window.
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> opieng  http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg
[21:01] <DasEi> opieng: depends on your liking I'd say , apart just footprint (resources) xubuntu&lubuntu(icewm, flux..),, gnome-ubuntu, kubuntu, unitystuff ...
[21:01] <DasEi> !best
[21:01] <min|dvir|us> soman: there's also disk-usage-analyzer which is a GUI.
[21:02] <dubaco> www.paste.ubuntu.com/1193434
[21:02] <auronandace> opieng: kubuntu = ubuntu with kde, underneath they all do the same thing
[21:02] <dubaco> Why is my update not working?
[21:02] <DasEi> dubaco: exact error message ?
[21:02] <soman> bekks: thanks it works
[21:02] <dr_willis> opieng:  if you know what youa re doing - you can do most anything on any desktop enviroment. ;)
[21:03] <ryan_> hello
[21:03] <ryan_> any helpa home?
[21:04] <dr_willis> !ask
[21:04] <opieng> ubottu, no need to shout, thanks everyone
[21:04] <DasEi> dubaco: might be just me, pastie doesen't open here, what does apt throw back ?
[21:05] <dubaco> DasEi: try 1193450
[21:05] <min|dvir|us> ubottu: test
[21:05] <min|dvir|us> ubottu: test
[21:05] <min|dvir|us> ubottu: one
[21:05] <dubaco> DasEi: try paste.ubuntu.com/1193450
[21:05] <min|dvir|us> ubottu: two
[21:05] <auronandace> min|dvir|us: stop it
[21:06] <opieng> Besides, I didn't as which is "best", you can scroll to see what I actually asked.
[21:07] <guntbert> dubaco: its easier for the helper if you include http://  in the url
[21:07] <auronandace> opieng: a desktop environment is just down to preference and resources
[21:07] <dubaco> DasEi: try http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193450
[21:07] <ryan_> how can i bypass gprs is too expensive here
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> opieng  it's free, you can easily try it and abandon if you don't like it
[21:07] <gordonjcp> opieng: what did you actually ask?
[21:08] <new2ubuntu> hi all, I have Lubuntu 12.04 installed on an old compaq machine. For some reason all the youtube videos keeps saying that they aren't available right now, I updated flash player and it's still doing it. I've tried videos that work on other computers. any ideals? this is chromium browser I'm using.
[21:08] <opieng> Thats very fair, thanks, gordonjcp I was just was asking about advantages of kubuntu over ubunutu
[21:09] <gordonjcp> opieng: "kubuntu" has an extra letter k
[21:09] <min|dvir|us> Is there anything like Byobu but where I can pin terminal tabs?
[21:09] <gordonjcp> opieng: it looks different, and some things work differently
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> opieng  kde is just a different 'jacket'
[21:09] <DasEi> dubaco: it's http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193450/ by the way, you are missing pgp keys for some archives, so, as root :
[21:09] <gordonjcp> opieng: which is better, a Skoda or an Audi?
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> opieng  type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and try it for a while to find out
[21:10] <gordonjcp> opieng: of course the answer is neither, really, the Skoda is more suitable if you want to be a taxi driver and the Audi is more suitable if you want to drive right up people's backsides and hog the outside lane of the motorway
[21:11] <gordonjcp> opieng: pop the bonnet and there's the same engine looking back at you
[21:11] <opieng> :) nice
[21:11] <DasEi> dubaco: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 082CCEDF94558F59
[21:11] <opieng> thanks all I will try it out
[21:12] <opieng> p.s. thanks for to all the developers and supporters of Ubuntu
[21:12] <opieng> brill OS, even my wife uses it now
[21:13] <DasEi> dubaco: and then you still miss correct ones for bitcoin and BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>, got look correct ones up yourself and either bei key-add or given command fix that, too
[21:14] <DasEi> dubaco: is ubuntu-keyring installed ?
[21:16] <DasEi> dubaco: and for bitcoin, I don't want to help you here, because first it's ot here, secondly a little to sensible to me , ask in bitcoin channel, read http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication   and https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=2207.0
[21:18] <DasEi> dubaco: still there ?
[21:21] <emx> i have a huge list of kernels and i don't know which one to choose.
[21:21] <DasEi> emx: the latest if no issues ?!
[21:22] <DasEi> emx: or do you ask about type, not version ?
[21:22] <delinquentme> instantiate gedit instance from command line without tying up command line ?
[21:23] <emx> DasEi, how do i identify it? i got generic, virtual, generic-pae, extra, hwe, different 3.2.0 versions...
[21:23] <DasEi> emx: so ask what each is for, so people can answer
[21:24] <emx> DasEi, i don't know where to start...
[21:24] <DasEi> emx: pae=physicalAddressExtenston, means a 32bit os can handle more than 4 g ram (video..) total... versions = development improvements (mostly, hehe)
[21:25] <opieng> I am always never sure, when using th USB universal installer, I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 i386, which do I pick "Desktop" or "Alternate i386"?
[21:26] <DasEi> emx: virtual = extensions for quemu and such, realtime.. maybe read a bit on kernel.org or ask an question, nobody will be able to explain whole kernel-landscape
[21:26] <MonkeyDust> opieng  desktop
[21:26] <iceroot> opieng: both will gave the same result with the defaults
[21:27] <iceroot> opieng: but the desktop version is fine to use, altermnate is only needed in some special cases (or for the people which say they dont need a real gui)
[21:27] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  gedit filename &
[21:27] <opieng> oh ok thanks, is desktop also ok for the 64bit installation?
[21:27] <iceroot> opieng: yes
[21:27] <ranveer5289> yes
[21:28] <iceroot> opieng: when you hardware is able to run the 64bit version, always use the 64bit version
[21:28] <delinquentme> dr_willis, is there a way to have that default ... without typing the &
[21:28] <MonkeyDust> opieng  what is your technical background?
[21:28] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  never noticed.. or needed to.. guess you could make a gedit alias
[21:28] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  you can alwyas use ctrl-z then 'bg' if you forget
[21:29] <opieng> MonkeyDust, sorry am I sounding really inexperienced? Mechanical engineering background
[21:31] <AaronCampbell> I'm having a problem with PHP's curl giving me "Failed to connect to 2001:4860:4007:800::1000: Network is unreachable" ... it seems to be because it's trying to use ipv6 instead of ipv4.  What can I do to be able to make ipv6 requests like this, or make php use ipv4?
[21:31] <AaronCampbell> I feel like I must have 1/2 of the ipv6 packages I need or something
[21:31] <DasEi> opieng: you're all fine, yes desktops are independent from 32/64
[21:31] <ubunoob12> hi, completely new to ubuntu.. just installed 12.04 lts on a sony vaio laptop vgn-cr190.. webcam & cd drive are not recognized.. can anyone help out with this?  thank you in advance
[21:31] <AaronCampbell> All this on an Ubuntu 12.04 system
[21:32] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, the CD drive should mount discs when discs are put in
[21:32] <DasEi> opieng: generally I'd always take 64, there only very few apps, and if you really want to, get the 32 libs and have such seldom app in 32 only also running in 64
[21:32] <DasEi> there are *
[21:33] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, the system won't display drive letters, and in some cases won't display any drives either until a medium gets detected
[21:33] <ubunoob12> warofthenerd thank you... will try right now & report back in a minute
[21:33] <DasEi> dubaco: still there ?
[21:34] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, the webcam issue is usually a case of either it works or it doesn't.. though I can give you some commands to run to find out info about the webcam in the machine, which you can use to find out if it's compatible or not
[21:36] <ubunoob12> warofthenerd: inserted data cd, nothing came up
[21:37] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, and nothing in Computer?
[21:38] <WarOfTheNerd> it's extremely odd that you can install/boot from CD but not use it post-install
[21:38] <DasEi> ubunoob12: is that a newer one with efi-boot ?
[21:39] <ubunoob12> i had to install via usb b/c windows wouldn't boot... i formatted drive & went w/ ubuntu
[21:39] <WarOfTheNerd> ah, ubunoob12 you may need to look at your BIOS settings in that case
[21:40] <WarOfTheNerd> there's usually an option called "Plug and Play OS" which can be answered yes or no
[21:40] <ubunoob12> good call on that one war!
[21:40] <WarOfTheNerd> try toggling it
[21:40] <WarOfTheNerd> regardless of what it's set to, it changes the way the BIOS handles non-boot devices
[21:41] <ubunoob12> will do.. could you let me know what the commands are to try to get the camera working?
[21:42] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, lsusb, then note down the info for the camera, and google for linux and/or ubuntu compatibility with it
[21:42] <WarOfTheNerd> you'll usually get relevant results as someone else has probably already investigated it
[21:42] <DasEi> ubunoob12: I'm no expert in newer vaios, but know from a friend he found a good howto for a newer e-series, if no one can help here, maybe search the web, just a try : http://tinyurl.com/KindleWireless, and about cam, try installing cheese and find out, if cam is found by it
[21:42] <ubunoob12> war, at the risk of asking the stupid question... what is lsusb?
[21:42] <WarOfTheNerd> and yeah.. try aMSN as well as cheese
[21:42] <MonkeyDust> !info cheese
[21:43] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, no such thing as a stupid question if you're not sure :)
[21:43] <opieng> when installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my old 32bit laptop, I get an error msg at the boot stage "Unable to boot - please us a kernel appropriate for you CPU"? can anyone help?
[21:43] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, open a terminal and run lsusb
[21:43] <ubunoob12> thanks DasEi... I'll check that out
[21:43] <WarOfTheNerd> ubunoob12, it stands for list USB (or list USB devices)
[21:43] <DasEi> ubunoob12: lsusb is a terminal command that lists your usb-devices, also install hwinfo and run it as root
[21:43] <DasEi> !terminal
[21:44] <ubunoob12> wow.. I've got some serious learning to do!!
[21:44] <DasEi> ubunoob12: coming from win, terminal seems painfull first hand, after 2 months, you don't ever want to go without it
[21:45] <WarOfTheNerd> Yeah, it's 1000x better than when you have a normal DOS prompt
[21:45] <DasEi> ubunoob12: also once basics are set, google ubuntu perfect desktop to get all the goodies installed you might not even now off
[21:45] <alpha2> Hello, I used to be a big time Ubuntu user, but I found the videos and such were so laggy that I couldn't keep it going.
[21:45] <DasEi> know*
[21:45] <alpha2> Has ubuntu come far since 10.04 in the video department?
[21:45] <WarOfTheNerd> alpha2, depends on the video
[21:45] <opieng> It says the kernel requires "pae"?
[21:45] <WarOfTheNerd> also you need to install restricted drivers for max performance
[21:45] <opieng> and that the CPU does not have that
[21:46] <alpha2> 1080p
[21:46] <DasEi> alpha2: never had real issues since hardy~jaunty, and some graphics have even improved
[21:46] <alpha2> extremely high quality
[21:46] <alpha2> mkv
[21:46] <DasEi> alpha2: there are some exotic formats, sure, but see :
[21:46] <DasEi> !mkv
[21:47] <alpha2> I 1/2 wanna dual boot.  See how that all goes I guess
[21:47] <ubunoob12> thank you for the help.... I know I'll be back..
[21:47] <alpha2> I'm just installing it in VMware atm to see how she looks and feels
[21:48] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed videos being more laggy in ubuntu at all.. in fact i find they play better.
[21:48] <DasEi> alpha2: there are some solutions for matroska files, but I don't use it,  as :
[21:48] <dr_willis> but i guess it depends on the video drivers and kind of video
[21:48] <DasEi> !info mkvtoolnix-gui
[21:48] <dr_willis> depends on how its encoded also i imagine
[21:49] <Smackbook1> i have xfce running on my headless server (for when I want to plug a head into it), I just disabled boot to X by changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from "quiet splash" to "text".  This works.  Except when I boot like this, and log in and do startx, it doesnt boot to xfce.  it just shows the default gdm background and no login or icons or options or window manager.  any suggestions?
[21:49] <DasEi> mkv is an encoding issue
[21:50] <dr_willis> Smackbook1:   make a .Xsession file perhaps to run the xfce desktop. sounds like its not fully loading it.  You could make the .Xsession load a terminal and start the xfce session from there to see if any error messages appear
[21:51] <dr_willis> did you do a server install then installed xfce? or installed xubuntu directly?
[21:51] <opieng> Here is a solution http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html
[21:52] <NEone> Hi. I wanted to try the LiveDVD of 12.10 Beta 1. But I can't even boot it. After the first splashscreen (black, with the keyboard icon and the "man in the circle" icon, graphics gets messed up. I don't see a boot-options menu or anything, just scrambled graphical artifacts. Already had the same effect with the 10.04 LiveDVD. What to do?
[21:52] <nsaquatics> can somebody tell me why when I copy allot of data between disks my Ubuntu 10.04LTS system all but freezes? The disk I/O seams to take up 100% of my system resources. I have two mirrored array's with SATA6.0 drives on a real Intel Raid SATA 6 card. One for the OS and one for data and yet the system still get's so bogged down you can hardly use the mouse.
[21:53] <Smackbook1> dr_willis: neither, i did a standard 12.04 install and then installed xfce
[21:53] <dr_willis> NEone:  man in circle = hit space and try the nomodeset option yet?
[21:53] <dr_willis> Smackbook1:  sounds like its loading the ubuntu default desktop (and failing) when you do startx
[21:54] <NEone> dr_willis: Thanks, didn't know. Will try right now (it's on the other computer). brb
[21:54] <JessD> Hi!  I've installed network-manager-openvpn, but when I open Network Manager to add the vpn, I click Add, choose OpenVPN, and all of the interface except for Cancel is grayed out.  Any idea how I can get this working?
[21:54] <nocaic> hi folks - having problems to install wine... seem to have a package conflict I can't wrap my head round... could someone lend a hand? >> http://pastebin.ca/2202393
[21:56] <JessD> nocaic : Have you seen this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/97589
[21:57] <Smackbook1> dr_willis: why would startx do something different than booting with "quiet splash" set in /etc/default/grub ?
[21:57] <JessD> nocaic : try apt-get install winde
[21:57] <JessD> nocaic : apt-get install wine, that is
[21:57] <Smackbook1> dr_willis: do they point to different instructions?
[21:58] <Smackbook1> it starts xfce4 fine when set to x at bootup
[22:00] <dr_willis> startx is starting the X server.. nothing to do with Grub at all..
[22:00] <dr_willis> by default  lightdm starts up and handles X....
[22:01] <jimion> why cant i access from my mobile internet ip?
[22:01] <dr_willis> You could just do a 'sudo service lightdm start' whenyou want to go into gui mode
[22:01] <phonebook_> greetings wise nerds. i just paid $1.29 for a movie from redbox and pride is keeping me from booting into windows to be able to watch it. can you help?
[22:01] <leslie__> Troy^, I am showing myself connected to the wireless Router both on screen and with the indicator led on the wireless card thqt is installed; but my problem lies in the fact thqt when I try to go on line it tells me that the url cannot be found
[22:01] <nocaic> JessD: seems to be doing the trick
[22:01] <JessD> nocaic : Excellent!
[22:01] <dr_willis> phonebook_:  a video stream/online movie?
[22:01] <JessD> leslie__ Is it just the one url, or anythign?
[22:02] <phonebook_> dr_willis, no a physical movie... google says it has something to do with the format (have tried totem, vlc, and dragon + an upgrade and restart)
[22:02] <leslie__> JessD, it is all the url's
[22:02] <dr_willis> phonebook_:  there are DVDs out now with such nasty copy protection that I couldent play them on a PC.. only on a DVD player and even then only on a NEWER dvd player, or a blue ray player.
[22:03] <JessD> leslie__ Sounds like dns isn't working.  Try this; in your browser, go to http://<IP_ADDRESS> (this is google's ip address); does it come up?
[22:03] <dr_willis> phonebook_:  dvdfab may let you rip it to a unencrypted format for playing.
[22:03] <dr_willis> phonebook_:  good luck.
[22:03] <dr_willis> bbl
[22:03] <phonebook_> dr_willis, this is not good news for me
[22:03] <MonkeyDust> phonebook_  vlc can play about anything
[22:04] <MonkeyDust> phonebook_  or try xine
[22:04] <phonebook_> ill just watch aggresive qhadrotors on youtube for the 5th time
[22:04] <phonebook_> MonkeyDust, got it... giving it a shot
[22:05] <leslie__> JessD, ok gimme a couple of mins, thqt computer is in qnother room (french keybd) sorry for the typos
[22:05] <JessD> leslie__ np
[22:06] <Meris> phonebook, if you want to play it by principle, you can return the DVD to the shop informing them that it is not a DVD_Video , since it does not conform to the DVD_Video standards.
[22:07] <Meris> The movie industry needs to be taught a lesson about standards compliance.
[22:08] <emx> what's the name of the application bar? http://www.edubuntu.org/sites/default/files/docimages/apps-precise/unity1_full.jpg
[22:08] <leslie__> JessD, no, the same thing "Unable to connect"
[22:08] <phonebook_> at least they give an error message: "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Your DVD is probably crypted. According to your country laws, you can or cant install/use libdvdcss to be able to read this disc..." oh, hold on ill give that a try
[22:09] <MonkeyDust> emx  gnome-panel
[22:09] <JessD> leslie__  Hmm, ok.  What's your network look like?
[22:09] <emx> MonkeyDust, thanks
[22:09] <JessD> leslie__: are you using wireless, and is the machine you're using on the same network as the box in the other room?
[22:10] <phonebook_> okay im in trouble now
[22:10] <Anusien> This is kind of a silly question, but do I need a specific package to get the radeon drivers? I'm having problems with choppy playback in vlc/mplayer, so I wonder if I don't have the right drivers installed (fglrx is NOT installed)
[22:10] <phonebook_> does this make sense? sudo apt-get update
[22:10] <phonebook_> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:10] <phonebook_> sry not that
[22:10] <phonebook_> that is not what i pasted
[22:11] <Meris> !enter |  phonebook
[22:11] <leslie__> JessD, yes and the other computers are all connected to the same router and and  get on line perfectly
[22:11] <phonebook_> it says to insall libdvdcss. so i tried this on the command line --- sudo apt-get install libdvdcss
[22:12] <JessD> leslie__ Does NetworkManager say that you're connected to the access point?
[22:12] <Meris> !dvd | phonebook
[22:13] <phonebook_> cool thx
[22:13] <leslie__> Right now there are " wireless users here using the router, it is the company router thqt my mate leslie works for he has unlimited access
[22:13] <Meris> phonebook_,  np
[22:14] <leslie__> Yes, when I log on, it tells me thqt I qm connected qnd the led on the wireless cqrd shows me connected
[22:14] <Meris> leslie_,  a<=> q
[22:15] <NEone> dr_willis: Ok, the "nomodeset" actually worked for me. Thanks so much.
[22:16] <phonebook_> yeshhhhhh
[22:16] <leslie_> Meris, yes I am using q French Keyboard and the q is where the a is on an americqn one
[22:16] <phonebook_> it worked, thx again
[22:16] <Meris> phonebook_, the DVD is playing as it should?
[22:16] <phonebook_> yep
[22:16] <MonkeyDust> phonebook_  how did you do it?
[22:16] <emx> apt-get wants to install a very long list of packages but in some cases i clearly see i don't want some of them (e.g. programs using qt). can i remove those packages from the install list somehow?
[22:16] <phonebook_> the first link posted by ubottu
[22:17]  * Meris passes popcorn to phonebook_
[22:17] <phonebook_> oh it just crashed, jk
[22:17] <phonebook_> okay im out, thx
[22:17] <MonkeyDust> darn popcorn ;)
[22:17] <Meris> leslie_, ah, azerty
[22:17] <NEone> Now if I install 12.10 Beta 1 on one physical harddisk (it's empty now) with the new full disk encryption option... Will it leave the second physical harddisk (it's NTFS and contains data for my Windows system) untouched? Or will that one be encrypted too?
[22:17] <trism> emx: depends on what you are installing, --no-install-recommends can be helpful, although you'll want to make sure to go back and install the recommends you need
[22:18] <leslie_> JessD, I log on to the wireless router and it tells me I am connected on the screen and also, on the back of the wireless card there is a led thqt lights when you qre connected to the router
[22:18] <xangua> !12.10 | NEone
[22:18] <NEone> ok, sry
[22:19] <Meris> NEone, thanks in advance for testing the new version :-)
[22:20] <leslie_> I live in French Polynesia qnd use a american keyboard at home in Raiatea, I am visiting leslie in Moorea at present and trying to get this machine in question on line my name is maheanuu
[22:20] <Meris> NEone, it is probably the safest option to try that in a VM first.
[22:21] <Meris> leslie_, that is a beautiful name.
[22:21] <Smackbook1> dr_willis: you are right, sudo service lightdm start works.  I can just set an alias to do this when I type startx.  But I guess i'm just confused about the different chain of events between startx and lightdm start.  lightdm start obviuosly starts an X server start also, are they just two different front ends to xinit?
[22:21] <Froward> nice one meris
[22:22] <Smackbook1> does startx have a configuration somwhere that might not be "caught up" with my system configuration after installing xfce?
[22:22] <leslie_> leslie is my mate weve been friends and co workers for decades, dr_willis has worked with me in rqiqteq many times
[22:23] <Meris> leslie_, that's a nice inside story, Maheanuu.
[22:24] <subman> I'm running ubuntu 12.04 and firefox 15.0 and was watching veetle.com content just fine.  Suddenly I now I cannot completely resolve the page.  Anyone else have this issue?
[22:24] <Meris> subman, please give the exact URL you were watchin, so I can test it.
[22:25] <Meris> subman, watchin => watching
[22:25] <NEone> I plan to make 3 partitions: "/", "/home", "swap". There are options of making them primary partitions or creating just one extended partition and build the other partitions within that one as logical volumes. Which way of those is the best?
[22:26] <emx> during the installation i could choose whether i want to pack all drivers into the initrd or if i want to pack only targeted drivers. can i redo this step on the installed system.
[22:27] <wilee-nilee> NEone, There is no better except in how youy want it. With 3 partitons as primaries you only have rom for one more primary.
[22:27] <wilee-nilee> room*
[22:27] <Meris> NEone, in general, try to use an extended partition for the installation of operating systems that don't care if they are installed on primary or logical drives, so you can always install another OS that *does* require a primary partition.
[22:27] <Deet`> anyone know how to connect to wifi from command line? or know where i can find out?
[22:28] <NEone> Okay, will try the extended partition with the logical volumes within it. Thanks.
[22:28] <emx> Deet`, iwconfig is an important program for connecting to wlan.
[22:29] <dukeRun> ifconfig
[22:29] <emx> in the year 2000 it was iwconfig
[22:29] <Deet`> both of em are there
[22:29] <AnDsO> any one know how to get users info via snmp
[22:30] <WeThePeople> hi
[22:30] <Deet`> !ifconfig
[22:30] <Meris> !snmp
[22:30] <Deet`> !iwconfig
[22:30] <AnDsO> yea snmp
[22:30] <Deet`> Ubottu, you aren't being helpful
[22:31] <Meris> WeThePeople, welcome!
[22:33] <emx> /intelligent/helpful/s
[22:34] <Meris> I'm using a fullsize aluminum Mac keyboard attached to a desktop PC running Ubuntu 12.04 is there any way I can remap my keys in both the console and X. I have already found how to make the Function keys work as function keys again, but I'd like to decide this on a per key basis.
[22:34] <subman> Meris, http://veetle.com/index.php/listing/index/entertainment
[22:34] <subman> Meris, I get the top bar down to Entertainment/Popular/New and then a huge white space.  I also get their page links at the bottom.  Just how content in between
[22:35] <Meris> subman, I see various screenshots of movies, with a "play" sign superimposed on it when I hover over the thumbnails. subman, do you have noscript installed, by any chance?
[22:36] <Meris> subman, I can play a movie if I click on the play sign.
[22:37] <NEone> Thanks to everybody who helped me. Going to install it now:) See you.
[22:37] <Meris> subman, it is awfully laggy though. Either many people are requesting the vid or the bandwidth provided by veetle.com just isn't enough...
[22:37] <subman> Meris, I used to be able to play them as well early today.  Just not now.  I did do a recent update.  Yes I'm running NoScript but have Allowed this .com site.
[22:37] <Deet`> ok, found out how to use iwconfig, or at least it's subcommands. now if i could figure out how to use them o.o
[22:38] <subman> Meris, I don't even get the boxes with shots of the movies in them.  Just whitespace
[22:39] <Meris> subman, 1) do you have Adobe Flash Player + all codecs installed from the "ugly" set?
[22:39] <Areckx> I am having issues with mplayer, using this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/1193586/
[22:40] <emx> which package do i need to install to be able to use X?
[22:40] <subman> Meris, I must as I could play the movies earlier today.
[22:40] <Meris> emx, That would be Xorg
[22:40] <wilee-nilee> subman, there are two other flashs running after the main site is okayed, do you have a cookie blocker as well?
[22:41] <wilee-nilee> I just see logins needed from facebook after all that is allowed
[22:41] <emx> Meris, thanks
[22:41] <Meris> subman, in that case, try clearing the Firefox cache by using Ctrl + Shift + Del. Afterwards close all FF windows and reopen FF again
[22:42] <subman> Meris, nope, still no luck
[22:43] <emx> when i try to install nvidia-96 it says it depends on xorg-video-abi-10 bu tit is not installable... what now?
[22:44] <Meris> subman, one thing: I did not login to Facebook prior to watching the movie. This may or may not make any difference. I don't have a FB account and I don't plan to.
[22:44] <subman> Meris, I have no Facebook account either and it worked fine earlier today
[22:45] <subman> Meris, I have another computer here and it works fine on it (running Lubuntu).
[22:45] <PiNinja> I'm trying to compile a program from source (the program is pianobar) and it get this error with make: Package mad was not found in the pkg-config search path.
[22:45] <PiNinja> Note: I'm running on cygwin.
[22:46] <Meris> subman,  try running FF from the command-line to see if the Adobe Flash module spits out any error messages so you can diagnose the issue.
[22:46] <subman> Meris, have you updated today?
[22:46] <Deet`> ok, i tried setting the essid with iwconfig, but it doesn't stay. iwconfig shows it with the right essid for a few seconds, and then goes back to off/any
[22:47] <wilee-nilee> PiNinja, cygwin run in windows right so you are in windows?
[22:47] <wilee-nilee> runs*
[22:48] <subman> Meris, No errors but it works now when started via command line
[22:48] <PiNinja> wilee-nilee: Yes I am.
[22:49] <PiNinja> wilee-nilee: But cygwin runs in a linux-like environment.
[22:49] <Deet`> oh, i have to enter everything at one time and bring it up. why couldnt the other website say that? :/
[22:49] <subman> Meris, and now it works by clicking on the icon.  Very, very strange
