[06:16] <panda81> Even if Ubuntu 64bit can support up to 64gb of ram, I'm still restricted by the maximum ram the a8n-SLI motherboard can support right?
[06:16] <windbuntu> i am just hoping it doesnt cost me in some other way
[06:16] <AFschizoid> yes panda81
[06:16] <KM0201> windbuntu: i didn't say it "wasn't" faster.. it is.. but it's not near as dramatic as many claim.. maybe in major number crunching or processor intensive activities.. most people, never even get to using 64bit arch.
[06:17] <windbuntu> i noticed it in when i try to pull up packages
[06:17] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: here: http://imagebin.org/212209
[06:18] <KM0201> windbuntu: lol..
[06:18] <L3top> yeah... no.
[06:18] <StarryNight> i noticed 64 bit cpus less crash i had more crashes under 32 bit cpus
[06:18] <windbuntu> in 32bit for example i was having to wait like 12 secinds to pull up the ubuntu software center
[06:18] <L3top> yeah... no.
[06:18] <windbuntu> in 64 bit BOOM it comes right up
[06:18] <tenX> StarryNight: ...
[06:18] <Jordan_U> dixoncx: Can you pastebin the output of "nm-tool"?
[06:18] <KM0201> ok windbuntu ..lol, you're obviously not seeing the forrest because you're blinded by the trees..
[06:19] <windbuntu> well yes i am blinded by the speed yes
[06:19] <AFschizoid> does 64 bit make a big difference if i'm working on android developing compared to 32 bit?
[06:19] <KM0201> i think you're blinded by what people have told you you see, rather than what you actually see
[06:19] <L3top> No AFschizoid.
[06:19] <windbuntu> i timed the 32 bit OS as it tried to pull up the ubuntu software center...i actually timed it?
[06:20] <AFschizoid> sonofa...  lol it was a major pain getting 64 bit 12.04 set up and compiling right
[06:20]  * KM0201 chuckles
[06:20] <L3top> Same release of the same OS with the same applications running in the background windbuntu?
[06:20] <KM0201> windbuntu: your'e right, i admi tit, 13yrs of using Linux, and somehow, ive not figured out that 64bit is so much faster than 32bit... i've been doing somethign dramatically wrong all these years obviously.
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows a package to scan negatives to usb (lsusb sees device but nothing recognizes it)?
[06:21] <AFschizoid> KM0201 was that chuckle aimed at me?  :P
[06:21] <dagerik> When I issue notify-send test, nothing happens. How can I get notifications?
[06:22] <KM0201> AFschizoid: negative, windbuntu and his "if i've read something so many times, it has to be true" mentality
[06:22] <AFschizoid> lol
[06:22] <windbuntu> yes L3top i did a fresh install of 32 bit the day after it was released and after waiting forever to pull up some packages i began reading about n64 bit perfromance. at first i thought it was bunk until i read that 64 bit is just plain faster no maqtter how much ram you have ( i have 4 gigs on this one) so i did a fresh install again using 64 bit and started pulling up my usual stuff.
[06:22] <KM0201> but hey... what do i know..lol
[06:22] <bazhang> !ot
[06:22] <AFschizoid> hm.  anyone able to tell me how to get the ADB running?
[06:23] <StarryNight> tenX yes it is more stable in my experience and i used a 64-bit cpu for what 7 years plus now
[06:23] <windbuntu> i used to think it had something to do with being able to use more ram but thats not it...its just a lot faster period.
[06:24] <bazhang> windbuntu, lets get back on topic
[06:25] <tenX> StarryNight: stability isnt a matter of system architecture
[06:27] <StarryNight> well i run b4 linux windows under 32 bit would crash often than on a 64 bit system
[06:27] <StarryNight> and same with linux
[06:28] <bazhang> StarryNight, ubuntu support question?
[06:28] <test> test
[06:28] <StarryNight> yep anyone uses magicjack under linux?
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> how come xsane can't see my device and lsusb does?
[06:29] <bazhang> lets move the arch speed conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:30] <totesmuhgoats> StarryNight: i don't, but they have a magicjack now that doesn't need a pc, so if the linux support is poor you might wanna just get that
[06:30] <totesmuhgoats> or if the linux support is something silly like a binary only package, it can sometimes be a pain to get those to work
[06:30] <StarryNight> yea a person need an internet connection from what i understood
[06:31] <totesmuhgoats> StarryNight: if you own the magicjack, yes. it uses your internet connection
[06:31] <totesmuhgoats> the person you are calling doesn't necessarilly
[06:31] <StarryNight> yea doh :)
[06:32] <KM0201> StarryNight: magickjack always requires an internet connection doesnt it?
[06:32] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: here:  http://pastebin.com/8uCZvuis OpenDND nameservers are there. But it doesn't seems working..:(
[06:32] <StarryNight> yes but i am using a wi-fi only internet connection so hooking it up to other than a pc really does not work for me
[06:33] <KingKatari> hey whats the command to move all non empty dir's to another location?
[06:33] <KingKatari> i know mv
[06:33] <KingKatari> but what allows the moving of non empty dir's
[06:35] <Jordan_U> dixoncx: Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug network-manager".
[06:36] <evilwombat> Greetings. Are there older versions (say, v10.x) of the adobe flash player plugin available somewhere in deb form?
[06:36] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: ok, what are the terminal outputs to add in report ?
[06:37] <jm> evilwombat, old ubuntu repos?  snapshot.debian.org?
[06:37] <KingKatari> ?
[06:37] <Jordan_U> dixoncx: What you provided in your last paste should be good.

[06:38] <raptor67682> (CLI)
[06:38] <dixoncx> Jordan_U: ok, any temporary fix to solve issue ?
[06:38] <jm> I suppose ubuntu's equivalent of snapshot.debian.org is old-releases.ubuntu.org
[06:38] <KingKatari> hey whats the command to move all non empty dir's to another location?
[06:38] <KingKatari> i know mv

[06:39] <Jordan_U> KingKatari: raptor67682: Try asking in #bash.
[06:39] <jm> you could just rmdir * first
[06:39] <pouncer> trying to find a program to make a bootable usb of linux inside of linux want to do a fresh install

[06:45] <osmosis> how do I turn off the stickey mouse when going between screens?
[06:53] <overrider> I installed 12.04 and while i can move my laptops mouse via touchpad or click stuff, i cannot drag any windows; so click-hold and drag does not work. Any smart package i can install to solve this issue?
[06:54] <osmosis> overrider, that sounds strange
[06:55] <osmosis> overrider, did you do a clean install or an upgrade?
[06:58] <Dr_willis> You do have windows titlebars? and widgits in the titlebar?
[07:01] <Fat-Thing> Checking `aliens'...
[07:01] <Fat-Thing> /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023
[07:01] <Fat-Thing>  <--- what does it mean?
[07:01]  * proxinix is bored
[07:01] <caesar__> i was about to clean install ubuntu.. is there a way i can backup my windows install
[07:01] <caesar__> for future restore
[07:02] <Dr_willis> you could use 'dd' to image it to some external drive/file.
[07:02] <Dr_willis> but it may be best to ask in #windows for the best way to backup/restore a windows install.
[07:02] <caesar__> ok will do.. but what is dd
[07:02] <Dr_willis> caesar_,  personally, i always buy a new/second hd. andkeep linux on its own hd.
[07:03] <pratz> hey guys please any one ping me , just trying notification for irssi on ubuntu 12.04
[07:03] <caesar__> i'm on a laptop
[07:03] <Dr_willis> In computing, dd is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data. According to the manual page for Version 7 Unix,[1] it will "convert and copy a file". It is used to copy a specified number of bytes or blocks,
[07:03] <proxinix> dd is a converter caesar_
[07:03] <overrider> osmosis: clean install
[07:03] <pratz> guys any one please ping me
[07:03] <Dr_willis> My last laptop had 2 hd slots. :) but i always buy a second hard drve for my laptops. remove the windows hd.. put it somewhere safe..
[07:03] <proxinix> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=windowsbackup.iso
[07:04] <proxinix> something like that caesar_
[07:04] <Dr_willis> pratz,  you mean send a ctcp ping?
[07:04] <proxinix> That will make a copy of your windows cd and turn it into an iso but, that's not what you want but you get the idea
[07:05] <StarryNight> why keeping windows at all?
[07:05] <pratz> Dr_willis: cool this works, just wanted to try the notification for irssi on 12.04
[07:05] <caesar__> because i have alot of stuff
[07:05] <Dr_willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
[07:05] <caesar__> on here
[07:05] <caesar__> everything is configured just right
[07:05] <Dr_willis> depending on how complex your windows partioning and stuff is.. other tools may work better for you then dd.
[07:05] <thune3> Fat-Thing: according to the pulseaudio man page: PulseAudio clients and the server can exchange audio data via POSIX shared memory segments (on systems that support this).
[07:06] <jackiechan0> hello someone that know ruby?
[07:06] <Dr_willis> jackiechan0,  unless its more ubuntu specific.. theres a ruby channel i imagine.
[07:06] <Fat-Thing> thune3,  what will i do then?
[07:06] <caesar__> i just want a backup iso created than when installed would even have the items on desktop
[07:06] <caesar__> programs already installed
[07:07] <jackiechan0> Dr_willis> none  there thanks for answering
[07:07] <proxinix> !iso | caesar_
[07:07] <caesar__> everything like it is now
[07:07] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  you just want to backup your users settings? or Clone the whole windows install? 2 very diffefnt jobs...
[07:07] <caesar__> i want to clone my whole system right now
[07:07] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  if you have a large enough external Hard drive.  you can use 'dd' to clone the windows install to a file on that external hd.
[07:07] <thune3> Fat-Thing: i joined 10min ago and may have missed it, what's the problem?
[07:07] <proxinix> !windows | caesar__
[07:08] <caesar__> even if it take a few hundred GB
[07:08] <AFschizoid> how big is a basic ubuntu install?
[07:08] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  but using a windows tool for this task may be better.
[07:08] <Fat-Thing> /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023 <----- thune3  that thing appears while im running chkrootkit
[07:08] <jm> using ddrescue would be better
[07:08] <Dr_willis> AFschizoid,  from what ive seen . under 4gb. but there can be 1gb+ in cache  for the apt-updated and so forth.
[07:08] <proxinix> I believe you need two gigs AFschizoid
[07:08] <caesar__> Dr_willis: is the processes called cloning?
[07:09] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  whats the term commonly used.
[07:09] <caesar__> ok
[07:10] <Dr_willis> dd 'clones' in the sence that its an exact identical copy. errors on the original are copied to the copy. ;)   if the original HD is 100gb.. the clone image will be 100gb.. even if the original hd is 1/4 the way full.
[07:10] <Dr_willis> !backup
[07:11] <Dr_willis> on a 'new' machine i get. i normally boot up a live-cd, plug in a external hd. and 'dd' the whole disk to a image file on the external usb. and keep that usb safe for a 'restore' disk.
[07:11] <caesar__> so i'd be looking at a 220GB copy file
[07:11] <Dr_willis> one neat tirck with a 'dd' image. is you can mount the image file and access files on it. if needed.
[07:12] <Dr_willis> or even use it as a virtual box disk image.
[07:12] <caesar__> yes
[07:12] <caesar__> lol
[07:12] <caesar__> i need some dd in my life
[07:12] <thune3> Fat-Thing: i think chrootkit reports all shared memory files, you might run sudo lsof | grep pulse, and see if file is opened by pulseaudio server. if so consider it perfectly normal
[07:12] <caesar__> what format will a dd leave you with?
[07:12] <Dr_willis> just rember with dd - 'DONT make typos'  it can destroy  your data, if you tell it the wrong thing.
[07:13] <Dr_willis> dd does not format.. it images the source..
[07:13] <caesar__> i mean container
[07:13] <Dr_willis> its a raw data dump..
[07:13] <caesar__> err.. extension
[07:13] <Dr_willis> extensions dont matter in linux. ;)
[07:14] <caesar__> so how would one get back if need be
[07:14] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  via dd. :) the reverse direction.
[07:14] <Dr_willis> dd if=/file/of/thedisk.image   of=/dev/sdX
[07:14] <caesar__> and it will boot like i never installed linux?
[07:14] <Dr_willis> caesar__,  in theory - yes.
[07:14] <Fat-Thing> thune3,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/984977/
[07:14] <Dr_willis> you could dd the image to some other hd to clone the install.
[07:15] <Dr_willis> You could just do a dual boot. if you want windows that badly..
[07:15] <caesar__> i was pondering dual boot
[07:16] <unknownuser> caesar__ dual booting isnt as scary as it sounds, its really simple to have two operating systems at once.
[07:17] <thune3> Fat-Thing: yeah /dev/shm/pulse-shm-4206816023 is listed as being open by pulseaudio, along with some other /dev/shm files.
[07:18] <caesar__> is dual booting reversable?
[07:18] <caesar__> i guess my ocd just like clean installs
[07:18] <pratz> Dr_willis: dude , can you please ping me again ?
[07:19] <Fat-Thing> i just install some repo upon installing bt5 apps in my distro but i guess i went insane some apps are gone and not working is there a system restore? hehe
[07:19] <jm> what's the point in dual booting when you can run windows in a VM?
[07:19] <jm> unless you're intent on playing new windows games
[07:20] <pratz> any one please ping me
[07:20] <userprecise> hello people i have this doubt that my graphical card is not at all used by 12.04 . even vlc is taking 50% CPU!!
[07:21] <userprecise> how do i check and resolve this
[07:21] <Fat-Thing> thune3,  when i got to sudo su , i wont be prompted for password no more...how can i get that password thingy work before gettin into root?
[07:23] <unknownuser> caesar__ it is reversable, and wont harm any local files.
[07:23] <pratz> please any one send me a hello message or something
[07:23] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: sudo su -
[07:23] <unknownuser> but always, (dual booting or not) back up anything importnant to you.
[07:23] <userprecise> pratz: hello bello
[07:23] <StarryNight> nvidia?
[07:23] <Fat-Thing> userprecise, i know but it wont prompt me with password it will direct me to root
[07:23] <caesar__> i'm being told about clonezilla... is that a good option for my situation?
[07:24] <pratz> userprecise: thanks dude was just checking the notification for irssi client
[07:24] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: open a new terminal and it will prompt.
[07:24] <unknownuser> caesar__ may i PM you as to not flood channel?
[07:24] <caesar__> sure
[07:25] <userprecise> Fat-Thing: it has a timer. if you did a sudo operation recently it won't ask.
[07:25] <userprecise> in the same prompt.
[07:26] <Fat-Thing> thanx userprecise
[07:28] <userprecise> hello people i have this doubt that my graphical card is not at all used by 12.04 . even vlc is taking 50% CPU!! .how to check and resolve
[07:31] <thune3> userprecise: lspci -vvv and looking at kernel driver/module at end for video device could give clue
[07:34] <userprecise> thune3: sending the textfile.
[07:36] <BenNZ> hi trying to install the nvidia driver in oneiric , seems nvidia-current and the nvidia-settings program is installed , but when i goto run it i get that i need to run nvidia-xconfig as root , so i open terminal sudo nvidia-xconfig , program isnt installed , so sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig  , cannot find package , so how do i install the nvidia-xconfig
[07:38] <auronandace> BenNZ: are you installing the driver from ubuntu repos?
[07:38] <BenNZ> auronandace: yes
[07:39] <thune3> userprecise: i missed on that one
[07:39] <auronandace> BenNZ: did you use the additional drivers tool?
[07:39] <BenNZ> auronandace: nope i have to do it from terminal , i cant get into X , i tried from terminal with sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
[07:39] <userprecise> thune3: sending the textfile.
[07:40] <BenNZ> auronandace: i couldnt at the time i mean
[07:40] <auronandace> BenNZ: oh, sorry i can't help
[07:40] <BenNZ> auronandace: surely the package still exists tho , i mean its kind of an important one
[07:41] <userprecise> thune3: under VGA it is Kernel modules: radeon . but  why is vlc taking so much of CPU?
[07:42] <jm> because it's VLC
[07:42] <userprecise> thune3: even flash on browsers take a lot of cpu
[07:42] <auronandace> userprecise: what cpu you got?
[07:42] <auronandace> userprecise: what file are you trying to play?
[07:43] <thune3> userprecise: you have opensource driver for ati, depending on your hardware you may be able to install proprietary drivers: seems out of date https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

[07:46] <nlici> Hi friends !my computer got slow , need advice .
[07:46] <nlici> only works with ubuntu 12
[07:47] <dkmt> hi~
[07:49] <hash> ok so i know this isnt the debian chat but quick question im installing 6.0.4 and it was missing a firmware which i downloaded to a thumbdrive in a tar can i just add the missing firmware into the folder
[07:50] <userprecise> auronandace: cpu is of asus 1215B  - AMD Brazos APU E350* 2 cores . 2 GB RAM.  32 bit precise running.   thune3 : have done a similar one. will repeat steps of that link
[07:51] <auronandace> userprecise: doesn't sound powerful, seems like flash would give it a thrathing too
[07:53] <mikimouse> dove sono i colori
[07:53] <userprecise> auronandace: half a year before i was running everything smoothly using 20% cpu on same configuration. what eiffel tower have they added to flash now?
[07:53] <mikimouse> ciao
[07:53] <thune3> i assume installer uninserts open-source module and inserts proprietary one, if not you may need reboot. when lspci -vvv shows fglrx you know you have proprietary. sorry i don't know specifics of brazos and fglrx
[07:53] <mikimouse> list
[07:55] <elgaton> !it | mikimouse
[07:55] <hash> so will putting the missing firmware into the folder work

[07:58] <nlici> hi !my computer got slow can it be any kind of problem you think please advice what to do ?
[08:01] <thune3> userprecise: sorry, uvd, hardware decode of video streams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder i don't think (but don't know) if any linux softwares utilize this hardware feature, so decoding would all be done on CPU.
[08:02] <overrider> Whether we will get a Nvidia driver that gives better support for GeForce GT 630M card? I went out to buy a particular model of Laptop; couldnt find what i wanted and was too greedy to get a new lappy and now am stuck with an Optimus card :-(
[08:02] <L3top> userprecise: what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[08:03] <overrider> Is i386 support for GeForce GT 630M maybe better than for amd64? I am using amd64, but even with latest driver installed it just wont recognize my Card under 12.04

[08:03] <nascentmind> Hi. I want to install libboost-all-dev:i386 but synaptic does not install it giving a list of dependencies which would not be installed. How can I do this?
[08:03] <userprecise> L3top : 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] [1002:9802]
[08:03] <L3top> yes that definitely should work with the fglrx driver
[08:03] <L3top> userprecise: what problem are you having exactly?
[08:06] <L3top> nascent chances are you have PPAs installed, and some package from there is previnting dependencies from resolving.
[08:06] <userprecise> L3top: lot of cpu used for vlc and flash on browsers overheating and ocassional switching off. suspend/ hibernate not happening even with swap on. all these were not a issue last year on same machine on 10.04 (64 bit) but now even when i have 32 bit it's happening.
[08:08] <Senior> hi
[08:08] <userprecise> L3top: otoh with dual boot all these work fine on windows on same machine.
[08:10] <Fat-Thing> userprecise,  im downloading ubuntu 10.04lts 32bit how can i install it without burning in cd?
[08:10] <unknownuser> Fat-Thing unetbootin to a USB drive
[08:10] <elgaton> Fat-Thing: 10.04 is outdated, try using 12.04 if possible
[08:11] <StarryNight> way outdated
[08:11] <Fat-Thing> i got dell 1545 3GB memory built-in gfxcard is it ok for 12.04?
[08:12]  * Senior kalisperes leme now new Network In Irc Chat /server -m altitude.serveblog.net joined people and nice have chat and day!!
[08:13] <ludkiller> lol all are back
[08:13] <|seca|> How can I see where a particular package is installed. I'm interested in finding php5-cli.
[08:13] <L3top> apt-cache policy package   |seca|
[08:14] <L3top> Or, alternatively dpkg-query -l package
[08:15] <L3top> Or, alternatively dpkg-query -l package | grep ^ii    is probably smarter.
[08:16] <cheryl> Greetings holders of the knowledge! :)
[08:16] <ZaNeIuM> how to i pause or get to see all that is displacyed when i use the --help cmd?
[08:16] <cheryl> I need to d/load the latest version of ubuntu, but when I go to ubuntu.com the page does not load?? :(
[08:16] <|seca|> L3top: I just tried those per your advice. I don't see a path though.
[08:17] <elgaton> ZaNeIuM: command --help|less, then scroll with PgUp/PgDown
[08:17] <L3top> you need the path? I misunderstood... dpkg -S package
[08:18] <elgaton> cheryl: Works for me. If you tell me where you're from and the verion you want (32 or 64 bit) I'll search for a mirror near you and give you the direct link
[08:18] <ZaNeIuM> thanks
[08:18] <cheryl> elgaton, 32 please and I'm in Wales, UK.
[08:19] <|seca|> L3top: Thank you so much. I'm not really familiar with the tools in ubuntu.
[08:19] <Aress> Where is terminal on ubuntu 11.04 ? :(
[08:19] <cheryl> elgaton, and thank you, I don't know if it's 'cos I'm on mobile b/band??
[08:19] <elgaton> cheryl: I assume you want the regular CD, not the DVD or the alternate CD?
[08:19] <wilee-nilee> Aress, ctrl-alt-t or in the dash top button left panel.
[08:20] <L3top> any time |seca|. you can also use dpkg -L
[08:20] <wilee-nilee> Aress, type terminal in the dash
[08:20] <cheryl> elgaton, sounds about right.
[08:20] <cheryl> elgaton, just realised only got blank dvd's, make it the dvd version plse.
[08:21] <Conradzz> Whats up?
[08:21] <Conradzz> anyone else running 12.04 out there?
[08:22] <wilee-nilee> elgaton, cheryl, the cd runs on a dvd now
[08:22] <Aress> wilee-nilee thanks :D
[08:22] <elgaton> cheryl: The DVD version just contains more software so you won't need to download it from the repositories. Anyway, here is the CD link: <http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso>
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: Let me grab the DVD link in a minute...
[08:23] <cheryl> wilee-nilee, well that's handy!!
[08:23] <wilee-nilee> Aress, you are welcome, enjoy. :)
[08:23] <lx42> Hey guys, been having problems with my NVidia raid at the moment; about once a week the kernel remounts it RO and I have to do a fsck on it. It just did it again, the dmesg output is here: http://pastebin.com/GhpgghEL was wondering if anyone had any clues what may be causing it?
[08:23] <cheryl> elgaton, don't worry wilee-nilee  says the cd version runs on dvd now! :)
[08:23] <Aress> upgraded 10.10 to 11.04 so everything looks new for me
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: Anyway: <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-dvd-i386.iso>
[08:23] <elgaton> cheryl: The CD version should be just fine
[08:24] <cheryl> elgaton, is this a stable version? :)
[08:24] <elgaton> Conradzz: OK - first, did you install any proprietary drivers
[08:24] <elgaton> cheryl: Yes, it's the final 12.04
[08:24] <Conradzz> yes I did elgaton
[08:24] <wilee-nilee> Aress, it is a bit of a shock, if your not prepared. :)
[08:24] <elgaton> Conradzz: which ones?
[08:24] <cheryl> elgaton, And just because Lucid didn't work on my pc, doesn't mean this one won't, right?
[08:24] <Conradzz> fglrx the standard one, the other one wouldn't install
[08:25] <Aress> wilee-nilee something like that :D
[08:25] <cheryl> elgaton, I'll run it on live cd first....
[08:25] <Conradzz> I also installed the wifi adapter think it was the broadcom one
[08:25] <elgaton> cheryl: That's the best way to make sure it runs
[08:25] <ZaNeIuM> elgaton: how do you exit it
[08:25] <elgaton> ZaNeIuM: use the "q" key
[08:25] <ZaNeIuM> thx
[08:26] <cheryl> elgaton, ta 4 your help Allesandro :)
[08:26] <opentojoin> #join #lubuntu
[08:26] <elgaton> Conradzz: Let me search if there are any bugs, I think fglrx is the problem
[08:26] <Conradzz> ya its odd, I used the system today for probably 10 hours straight or more with no issues
[08:27] <elgaton> cheryl, ZaNeIuM: not a problem
[08:27] <L3top> Conradzz: can you please lspci | grep VGA
[08:27] <cheryl> wilee-nilee, thanks for your input too :)
[08:27] <wilee-nilee> cheryl, no problem, enjoy. :)
[08:27] <Conradzz> sure let me boot up into recovery mode, can't get into ubuntu by logging on
[08:27] <cheryl> elgaton, It's nice 2 be helped by someone Alessandro who doesn't try 'n make me feel like an idjit! lol
[08:27] <Conradzz> it'll hard freeze within a couple seconds
[08:28] <rabbi1> how to add items to favorites in 12.04 from a desktop icon
[08:28] <elgaton> Conradzz: maybe your graphic card is unsupported (AMD/ATI removes support for older graphic cards after some years)
[08:29] <Conradzz> thats the thing elgaton
[08:29] <L3top> thats what I am checking elgaton
[08:29] <cheryl> Right, is there any s/ware available for Ubuntu that would allow me to access 'n send text msg's from my mobile b/band dongle
[08:29] <Conradzz> I'm using a somewhat new netbook
[08:29] <Conradzz> its got an APU in it though, its the AMD c-60
[08:29] <L3top> it doesnt even have to be that old there are just certain chipsets, especially in the mobile line, that they simply do not support.
[08:30] <L3top> once I get the lspci I can tell you
[08:30] <Conradzz> lspci reports: VGA compatible controller: advanced micro devices [amd] nee ati wrestler [Radeon HD 6290]
[08:30] <L3top> that should work.
[08:30] <Conradzz> ya it was working fine earlier for like 10 hours straight
[08:30] <Conradzz> literally didn't change anything lol
[08:31] <Conradzz> now I can't even use it
[08:31] <Conradzz> its gotta be something graphical though seeing as I can boot recovery and drop into root
[08:31] <rabbi1> how to add desktop icons to favorites dash in 12.04 ?
[08:31] <finnbob3334> hi. want to dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop which already has windows 7 installed. doi need to wipe the hdd? the manufacturer put 2 partitions on the laptop and I want to install on the other one.
[08:32] <L3top> Conradzz: apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri      will help... but... something else is clearly conflicting.
[08:32] <L3top> you didnt try and reinstall the radeon driver did you Conradzz
[08:32] <Conradzz> yes I did L3top
[08:32] <Conradzz> earlier I installed ubuntu fresh
[08:33] <Conradzz> downloaded fglxr
[08:33] <rabbi1> finnbob3334: !install ubottu
[08:33] <Conradzz> that installed fine
[08:33] <elgaton> finnbob3334: You generally should not - make sure you created the recovery disks first
[08:33] <Conradzz> then tried to install the updated version, which failed
[08:33] <Conradzz> so a little later I looked at the additional drivers and noticed it didn't show the original driver as active
[08:33] <Conradzz> so I reactivated it
[08:34] <L3top> Ok.... the two conflict Conradzz
[08:34] <Conradzz> thats the thing though L3top, the updates one failed to install
[08:35] <L3top> first thing to do would be apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[08:35] <Conradzz> I ran a dpkg -l |grep fglxr
[08:35] <Conradzz> later on and noticed the updates in there with a RC in front of it
[08:36] <rabbi1> how to add desktop icons to favorites dash in 12.04 ?
[08:36] <Conradzz> have you tried dragging it rabbi1?
[08:36] <L3top> Conradzz: secondly I would do an update, and then sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx
[08:37] <Conradzz> Is that possible from the recovery root?
[08:38] <L3top> I dont know. I am never in recovery root... I always boot live and chroot.
[08:39] <L3top> does recovery root have internet?
[08:39] <Conradzz> not sure, had an option to enable networking, but didn't work
[08:40] <Conradzz> either way, I'm using wireless, and I doubt it would enable wireless support, probably just ethernet
[08:41] <jaka> so...
[08:41] <jaka> how do I get some ubuntu help here? what do I have to say? :)
[08:42] <pieruccio> ciao
[08:42] <pieruccio> !list
[08:42] <Conradzz> whats your problem jaka?
[08:42] <jaka> I have some bluetooth problems...
[08:42] <L3top> well Conradzz, you can do the following: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx*; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:43] <jaka> I asked on Ubuntu forums and askubuntu.com and got no answers...
[08:43] <L3top> Conradzz: do you have an xorg.conf?
[08:43] <L3top> Conradzz: if so I would mv it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bu   and xrandr should throw fbdev or vesa at you I would expect
[08:43] <L3top> then at least you can get to desktop and start over
[08:44] <Conradzz> gimme a sec just ran fsck and had a superblock last mount time is in the future.
[08:44] <Conradzz> excuse me if I seem a bit noobish, I'm completely new to ubuntu
[08:44] <jaka> I can normally pair the device with my laptop, but than I can't "Browse files on device"
[08:45] <L3top> No problem Conradzz... I am sorry your first experience has a problem.
[08:45] <Conradzz> Well its not technically my first experience
[08:45] <Conradzz> I've tried multiple times in the past
[08:45] <Conradzz> and always run into problems
[08:46] <L3top> I feel the same way about Windows. :P
[08:46] <mi3> jaka, is it a cellphone you are trying to browse?
[08:46] <jaka> yes
[08:46] <Conradzz> I know windows like the back of my hand, but would like to get into windows
[08:46] <Conradzz> linux*
[08:46] <finnbob3334> i have a windows 7 disk and the manufacturer included a disk with drivers and software
[08:46] <mi3> you need to authorise the cellphone, if you are to browse it automatically
[08:47] <KM0201> Conradzz: well, what kind of problems do you run into when trying to learn Linux?
[08:47] <Conradzz> last time I had tried linux was on a alienware m11x
[08:47] <Conradzz> and it didn't play well with the wireless adapter
[08:47] <KM0201> Conradzz: ..
[08:48] <Conradzz> didn't really play well with the hybrid graphics either
[08:48] <KM0201> Conradzz: the hybrid graphics cards can be problematic
[08:48] <Conradzz> most the time I have problems with graphics drivers
[08:48] <Conradzz> ya it was a pain
[08:48] <Conradzz> and having never used linux I was even more handicapped
[08:48] <KM0201> if you go Nvidia, usually they are easy peasy.
[08:48] <L3top> yup.
[08:48] <KM0201> also, if you don't plan on doing crazy 3D junk.. don't even worry about it.
[08:49] <L3top> Nvidia has traditionally had great linux support... and frankly Intel is awesome of late.
[08:49] <KM0201> Intel is typically easy to get working also (3D, etc.. works out of the box most of the time)
[08:49] <Conradzz> well now I'm using an asus aspire one, with an APU
[08:49] <Conradzz> which I'm thinking is giving me my problems
[08:49] <elgaton> finnbob3334: OK, if that's a regular installation disk, you can go ahead (also, make sure to perform a backup before starting)
[08:50] <KM0201> Conradzz: why do you think an APU is causing the issue?
[08:50] <Conradzz> ya I don't think I'm going to be able to run anything from the recovery terminal
[08:50] <Conradzz> not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[08:50] <Conradzz> unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
[08:50] <Conradzz> the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[08:50] <KM0201> Conradzz: what are you trying to do?
[08:50] <L3top> Conradzz: did you say you ran fsck?
[08:50] <Conradzz> get rid of this proprietary driver
[08:50] <finnbob3334> if any fo you do know, can i use the existiong windows 7 license that comes on the laptop sticker or should i use the license on the disk?
[08:50] <Conradzz> I tried to L3top
[08:51] <L3top> Conradzz: you cannot run fsck on a mounted disk.
[08:51] <KM0201> what graphics device is on it connelly ?
[08:51] <L3top> radeon and fglrx
[08:51] <KM0201> oh ok
[08:51] <Conradzz> its not mounted when its run from the recovery mode I believe L3top
[08:51] <L3top> Maybe not... like I said... I always run live and chroot...
[08:51] <KM0201> then how does recovery mode run?
[08:52] <L3top> yeah
[08:52] <Conradzz> no idea, I figured I could boot with failsafeX
[08:52] <Conradzz> but that doesn't work either
[08:52] <L3top> lol... grub would still have to have a point of origin.
[08:52] <L3top> Conradzz: can you boot to a live disk?
[08:52] <Conradzz> Server terminated with error
[08:53] <Conradzz> when trying to boot from failsafeX
[08:53] <KM0201> Conradzz: stop rambling, and listen to L3top
[08:53] <Conradzz> no, I have no disk drive
[08:53] <Conradzz> sure I can make a bootable usb
[08:54] <Conradzz> or I just boot into windows, and reinstall ubuntu...it'd probably be faster to do that
[08:54] <KM0201> Conradzz: did you install wubi?
[08:54] <shazzr> Right. Partitioned my RevoDrive into 1 300 mb FAT32 (for UEFI), 1 1 mb unformatted (for BIOS?), 1 15 GB ext4 for /, 1 99 GB ext4 for /home and 1 1 gb SWAP. Installation of alternate-amd64 goes without issues, but after reboot I am not able to boot. I definitely do need help with this one.... my mainboard is a Asus P8P67 DELUXE. I installed the bootloader into the 300 mb partition.
[08:54] <Conradzz> yup
[08:55]  * KM0201 chuckles
[08:55] <KM0201> Conradzz: why?
[08:55] <Jordan_U> shazzr: Grub's boot sector should always go in the MBR.
[08:55] <Conradzz> because its always such a pain to create bootable usb drives
[08:55] <Conradzz> so it was easier to install from windows
[08:56] <KM0201> Conradzz: you say you always have problems w/ Linux, yet you seem to insist on making things difficult... making a bootable USB literally takes about 2min if you already have the ISO downloaded.. the instructions are right on ubuntu's website
[08:56] <L3top> shouldnt be a pain really... just use unetbootin
[08:56] <shazzr> Jordan_U: I think I use GPT...I wish I used MBR.
[08:56] <AnAnt> Hello, unity-greeter in 12.04  doesn't show the "Login" button which allows a user to enter his username
[08:56] <hash> so ive been told adding back track tools to ubuntu is a bad idea but with no explanation any reasons
[08:57] <Jordan_U> shazzr: The MBR is the first sector of a disk, all disks have a first sector.
[08:57] <Conradzz> Every usb drive isn't made equal
[08:57] <KM0201> oh geez Conradzz quit trolling
[08:57] <Conradzz> in the past I have made bootable live usb drives, and it was a pain
[08:57] <Conradzz> how am I trolling?
[08:57] <KM0201> Conradzz: in the past, you didn't know what you were doing, clearly.
[08:57] <Conradzz> well ya...thats the point I had never messed with linux
[08:57] <shazzr> Jordan_U: the 300 mb partition is the first partition on the disk...
[08:57] <L3top> Conradzz: from windows either the hp utility or unetbootin should be painless.
[08:58] <Jordan_U> shazzr: Which is not the MBR.
[08:58] <KM0201> or you can use the USB creator tool that is linked right on Ubuntu's site when you click "how to create a bootable USB"
[08:58] <shazzr> Jordan_U: uhm...I don't understand. What would be the MBR?
[08:58] <Jordan_U> shazzr: The device for grub's boot sector should be somthing like "/dev/sda" *not* something like "/dev/sda1".
[08:58] <Conradzz> I have to install plop boot loader also
[08:58]  * L3top hasn't worked from windows in a long time... assumed one of those two would be on it...
[08:59] <Conradzz> the bios doesn't take nicely to booting from usb
[08:59] <KM0201> Conradzz: plop?.. what on earth do you need plop for?
[08:59] <Conradzz> to boot from usb...
[08:59] <hash> i had issues trying to do a dual boot install
[08:59] <KM0201> lol.. i'm just gonna bow out, it's getting so deep in here, and i don't want to put on my life preserver
[08:59] <L3top> on an aspire one?
[08:59] <shazzr> Jordan_U: I know "normal" disks have a sdx-name. My revo drive does not. I get an option when partitioning manually during install to install the bootloader into /dev/mapper ...should I do that?
[08:59] <Conradzz> yes its odd L3top I thought the same
[09:00] <Conradzz> KM0201 can think what he wants, but the fact is not everything is as simple as it should be
[09:00] <Jordan_U> shazzr: What is the exact device name?
[09:00] <KM0201> Conradzz: i've booted countless distros from USB on my AAO
[09:00] <L3top> you cant just hit f12 at post and select usb drive?
[09:00] <Conradzz> nope, it would always try to boot my usb's as floppys
[09:00]  * L3top 2 and both do that without even having to change the bios
[09:01] <hash> what kind of computer
[09:01] <shazzr> Jordan_U: it's a long one....can't remember. Something like /dev/mapper/xxxx-xx_xxx-12334567890
[09:01] <Conradzz> AAO 722
[09:01] <L3top> Conradzz: I think that would have something to do with how you are creating the usb drive... look at the ubuntu page on creating a bootable usb
[09:01] <Jordan_U> shazzr: Also, it sounds like you're using FakeRAID, which you should avoid.
[09:02]  * KM0201 agrees with L3top
[09:02] <shazzr> I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID?
[09:02] <shazzr> Jordan_U: I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID?
[09:03] <Conradzz> I've always used the window scommand line program
[09:03] <Conradzz> can't remember the name of it now
[09:03] <shazzr> Jordan_U: I know my RevoDrive uses RAID0. But I think it have to. How can I avoid using FakeRAID?
[09:03] <L3top> !usb | Conradzz
[09:03] <Jordan_U> L3top: KM0201: Nope, what Conradzz is refferring to is a common piece of braindamage often called "SuperFloppy" in buggy BIOSs.
[09:03] <hash> so no optical drive
[09:03] <Conradzz> see jordan knows what I'm talking about
[09:04] <KM0201> Jordan_U: dunno, i still think his problem is pebkac, based on his other comments.
[09:04] <Conradzz> but for giggles I'll go ahead and do it how the ubuntu site says and we'll see if it boots without plop
[09:04] <xskydevilx> I can't seem to get my Motorola gsm w3766 working with Oneiric.  It's not real hardware RAID (everything is done in software using the CPU), and using standard Linux mdraid will use less CPU, is better supported, and is faster.
[09:05] <Conradzz> and why are you sure of that KM0201?  If anything I'd say your the one trolling me
[09:05] <shazzr> Jordan_U: Just found this one. It is pretty much my problem... http://pileborg.org/b2e/blog5.php/2011/05/02/install-ununtu-11-04-on-an-ocz-revodrive-120g-ssd-with-raid0
[09:05] <KM0201> Conradzz: years of experience.. :)
[09:06] <Jordan_U> shazzr: Ubuntu's installer doesn't handle FakeRAID properly, but you don't want to be using FakeRAID anyway.
[09:06] <Conradzz> and that has to do with what?  You recommended I use the ubuntu guide, I'm going to
[09:06] <L3top> We are just trying to get you operational Conradzz, and you seem to want to argue rather than take the advice we are giving. Not bashing you, just saying.
[09:06] <KM0201> Conradzz: i know, and my experience tells me your results will be negative
[09:07] <Conradzz> if its that simple I'll thank you
[09:07] <Conradzz> I appreciate all your help L3top, and I'm doing what you are asking, I'm making the bootable usb
[09:07] <L3top> :)
[09:08] <shazzr> Jordan_U: So if I disable RAID in the UEFI/BIOS...do I need to reinstall everything, or should it boot?
[09:09] <Jordan_U> shazzr: You'd need to re-install everything.
[09:10] <turkishhuman> sa
[09:10] <Conradzz> hmm...do you think the windows installer keeps a copy of the iso it uses to install ubuntu kind of like a temporary files thing?
[09:10] <turkishhuman> hello!
[09:10] <Jordan_U> shazzr: And if you want to use Linux mdraid then you'll need to use the alternate, text based, installer.
[09:11] <rabbi1> Conradzz: yeap, dragging doesn't move there, only icons from app moves
[09:11] <shazzr> Jordan_U: I don't know if I want the mdraid. I just want it to boot. Desperately!
[09:11] <Conradzz> an sorry rabbi1 was a shot in the dark
[09:12] <rabbi1> Conradzz: that's ok, tried before askin :)
[09:12] <turkishhuman> turkish?
[09:12] <Jordan_U> !tr | turkishhuman
[09:12] <rabbi1> also, can't find the shutdown button on the user menu as well
[09:13] <Conradzz> I know theres a shutdown option if you click the power button on the top right
[09:14] <shazzr> Jordan_U: Found my device name; /dev/mapper/sil_bgbhdedfcaaf
[09:14] <Conradzz> damn, it doesn't download a copy of the iso, guess I'll have to wait the hour it takes to download
[09:15] <Jordan_U> shazzr: That would be the correct place to install grub, if you wanted to actually use FakeRAID.
[09:16] <shazzr> Jordan_U: Well...since I can not get it to work, I suppose I don't want to use FakeRAID.
[09:16] <hash> its taking that long
[09:17] <Conradzz> I'm not running above 150kb
[09:17] <hash> shazzr are u doing a dual boot install
[09:17] <alo21> hi all
[09:17] <hash> conradzz ouch
[09:17] <hash> shazzr on a raid system
[09:18] <alo21> what program manage ubuntu interface.. e.g. gtk etc?
[09:19] <shazzr> hash: No dual boot. My harddrive is a RevoDrive with two identical 55 GB drives, that I think uses a sort of RAID0 to appear as one harddrive.
[09:21] <hash> shazzr ah i orignally tried a dual boot install on my raid 0 didnt go very well
[09:22] <caesar_> Tried installing ubuntu on my external hard drive.. when I boot  to hdd.. nothing happens. When I tried boring back to regular internal hard drive I get error
[09:22] <onats> hey guys, im setting up a single server in our office. but would like to have it virtualized. Can anyon suggest what setup to take?
[09:22] <caesar_> Booting *
[09:22] <hash> i have it installed on my external
[09:22] <hash> what is the error message u get
[09:23] <caesar_> I get error: no such device: grub rescue
[09:24] <Conradzz> did you format the whole external drive for ubuntu?
[09:24] <caesar_> Yes
[09:24] <Conradzz> and when you start your comp up, you choose to boot from that external usb?
[09:24] <hash> caesar thats on ur interbnal right
[09:24] <hash> internal
[09:24] <caesar_> But I'm getting this error when trying to boot my internal drive with Windows on it
[09:25] <Conradzz> you installed it wrong
[09:25] <caesar_> No
[09:25] <hash> u need to fix ur mbr
[09:25] <caesar_> I didn't
[09:25] <Jordan_U> shazzr: It's hard to tell from their descriptions, but it's sounds like this is FakeRAID via option ROM, which is just plain ugly as among other things it means that there probably isn't a BIOS menu available to disable it.
[09:25] <Conradzz> ya I think you did caesar
[09:25] <Conradzz> it sounds like you installed it as a dual boot
[09:25] <hash> do u have the windows install disk
[09:26] <hash> or the recovery disk
[09:26] <hash> i think theres a cli on there
[09:26] <Conradzz> once you unplug that external drive, you should have no remnants of ubuntu
[09:26] <rabbi1> how to shutdown ubuntu 12.04 ?
[09:26] <Conradzz> like hash is saying, you overwrote your mbr
[09:26] <caesar_> I installed to erase entire disc and chose my external
[09:26] <kannudo> hello nearly-all-knowing peoples!!!
[09:27] <USER> #ubuntu
[09:27] <rabbi1> how to shutdown ubuntu 12.04 ? can't find the shutdown button on the user menu ? :(
[09:27] <Conradzz> you need a windows install disk, choose recovery, and go into the command line and fixmbr
[09:27] <Conradzz> top right corner rabbi1
[09:27] <KM0201> rabbi1: if you're using unity, it's in the top right corner
[09:27] <KM0201> or.. sudo shutdown -h now
[09:27] <Jordan_U> caesar_: What version of Ubuntu did you install?
[09:27] <rabbi1> Conradzz: no icon buddy
[09:27] <alfredo> shut down init 0
[09:27] <rabbi1> KM0201: sorry, gnome3
[09:27] <caesar_> 10.04
[09:27] <USER> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu server here?
[09:28] <KM0201> rabbi1: doesn't matter, that should work.
[09:28] <KM0201> (the command i gave you)
[09:28] <hash> yeah i had a similar issue when i installed i had to manually partition the external and make sure to select the external for where to install the bootloader

[09:28] <KM0201> lol
[09:28] <KM0201> that was kinda funny
[09:29] <shazzr> Jordan_U: So in a few short steps...how would I go about installing, partitioning and booting?
[09:29] <USER> look on youtube
[09:29] <caesar_> Well now I can't boot into anything
[09:29] <rabbi1> Conradzz: ooops, why all this changes ? and what about restart ?
[09:30] <kannudo> is there anyone here who knows much about shell scripts?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> !anyone | kannudo
[09:30] <Conradzz> once you click shutdown rabbi1 it'll let you choose between shutdown and restart
[09:30] <Conradzz> not really sure rabbi1, I just googled the answers :P
[09:30] <Blackshirt> Kannudo, exactly what you need?
[09:30] <rabbi1> caesar_: my system too failed to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 ,.... . did from scratch
[09:30] <Conradzz> me personally, I'm using unity so I have an option at the top right
[09:31] <senatormagenut> why can ubuntu server not detect any wireless networks during install?
[09:31] <rabbi1> Conradzz: ok, 12.04/ g3 is driving me crazy .... :) having fun  thanks a lot
[09:31] <Conradzz> I hear you, still gotta work out the kinks in my 12.04
[09:31] <hash> ceasar get ur windows disk and when in post go to ur boot options
[09:31] <shazzr> Jordan_U: Found this tutorial now...does it look like you would expect it to work? http://pileborg.org/b2e/blog5.php/2011/05/02/install-ununtu-11-04-on
[09:31] <Jordan_U> shazzr: You might be stuck with FakeRAID :( Unfortunately I need to go now, I might be able to help you work this out another day though.
[09:32] <alfredo>  I've some problem in running SFTP server on my ubuntu machine...is there anyone to help me out...
[09:32] <antnash> Hey guys. How do I check what ram spec I have from terminal?
[09:32] <rabbi1> Conradzz: either way, developers are trying hard to make OS smart or users dumb ..... lol
[09:32] <hash> ceasar select the dvd and recovery options
[09:32] <Conradzz> well I believe they're opting to use unity instead of gnome 3 now
[09:32] <senatormagenut> hello, can anyone tell me how to connect to the web on ubuntu server
[09:33] <Conradzz> I don't really have a problem with unity so far, it's a bit slow but I'm on a netbook so
[09:33] <caesar_> I get an error.when trying to load install disc... Boot manager
[09:33] <Blackshirt> Senatormagenut,what you mean?you can use web server
[09:33] <shazzr> Jordan_U: Crap. :( Thanks anyway! :)
[09:33] <alfredo> how to install , configure, and run SFTP server on Ubuntu Machine for a office LAN
[09:34] <rabbi1> Conradzz: yeah, i had no problems, but still finding a way to install nvidia before i start using unity 3d and tryout. until then g3 is bit comfortable
[09:34] <hash> dvd
[09:34] <Jordan_U> shazzr: If you ignore the parts about creating a device.map and editing the /boot/grub/grub.cfg then yes, that guide looks fine.
[09:34] <Blackshirt> Antnash, you can use free command
[09:34] <Conradzz> what error are you getting caesar?
[09:34] <antnash> Blackshirt: free command?
[09:34] <Jordan_U> shazzr: Just skip those steps as they're not needed.
[09:35] <Conradzz> when I first installed 12.04 it seemed quite a bit laggy on the oss drivers
[09:35] <Conradzz> so I installed the proprietary ones and managed to f that up
[09:35] <senatormagenut> blackshirt - i am trying to dual boot xp and server so i can host websites while i am not using my pc.  it searches for wireless networks in tutorial but can find any.  then i wired it to my mobile internet router and continued installing putting all the ip addresses as <IP_ADDRESS>    now it wont install any packages
[09:35] <Blackshirt> Antnash' free -m
[09:36] <Blackshirt> Is that you mean?
[09:36] <Jordan_U> shazzr: The /etc/fstab should already be using UUIDs also, so you can skip that. (If the fstab doesn't already use UUIDs in your case then you should file a bug report about it).
[09:36] <senatormagenut> yes
[09:36] <antnash> Blackshirt: does that get me my memory type?
[09:37] <Blackshirt> Antnash, no,it reports your memory usage
[09:37] <Conradzz> Oh ya, something I found weird, how easy it was to get back onto ubuntu after I forgot my password
[09:37] <senatormagenut> antash, you could open up your pc and have a look at the memory.
[09:38] <Conradzz> it literally required me to boot into recovery and let me change my password, doesn't seem all that safe...
[09:38] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: If your home directory is not encrypted, very easy.
[09:38] <Conradzz> hmm if I encrypt the home directory it wouldn't let me change the password?
[09:39] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: It would let you change your password, but then you wouldn't be able to log in as that user since the home directory wouldn't be able to by decrypted.
[09:40] <Conradzz> ah, does it use your previous password as the encryption key?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: It uses your password as the encryption key, and you can change your password at any time *but* to change the password you need to decrypt the key, and you need to know the "old" password to do that.
[09:41] <Conradzz> ahhh
[09:42] <Conradzz> damn...
[09:42] <Conradzz> I could have ran those commands L3top
[09:42] <kannudo> well then... i hope this is more along the lines of proper aking for help etiquette...
[09:42] <kannudo> i'm taking a linux course in school and we have come to shell scripting... my instructor walked us through creating a script and
[09:42] <kannudo> then run it with the command ./recent.sh ls ~/Documents
[09:42] <kannudo> here is the script:
[09:42] <Conradzz> I'm stupid...dropping into root only mounts the filesystem in read only, I could have changed it to write
[09:42] <kannudo> command_to_run=$1 #First variable in command
[09:42] <kannudo> directory_to_run=$2 #Second variable in command
[09:42] <kannudo> output_file=recent.sh-script_output.txt
[09:43] <kannudo> echo $command_to_run
[09:43] <kannudo> echo $directory_to_run
[09:43] <FloodBot1> kannudo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:43] <kannudo> $command_to_run -lhS  $directory_to_run > $output_file
[09:43] <Conradzz> and then ran those commands and uninstalled the drivers
[09:44] <Conradzz> oh well, best way to learn is to break things and then have to fix them
[09:44] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: If an attacker has physical access to your computer then you need to consider your computer compromised. That means that if you really want to be serious about security you need to encrypt private data *and* not use the computer after it's been in any not-physically-secured situation. For all you know someone has put wireless keylogger hardware inside your keyboard, and there's nothing that any software can do at that point to keep them from ...
[09:44] <Jordan_U> ... stealing your passwords or doing anything else.
[09:45] <Conradzz> true jordan, I'm not too worried about it, I just don't want some kid grabbing my laptop and basically have the door wide open
[09:46] <Shanth> how to get transperent widgets like this http://i49.tinypic.com/a3357d.jpg
[09:46] <Conradzz> thats a badass desktop
[09:47] <rabbi1> my 12.04 hangs suddenly, even ctrl+alt+F1 has no effect ? :( any solution ?
[09:47] <Conradzz> that was my problem rabbi1
[09:47] <Conradzz> is it a hard freeze or can you use your mouse?
[09:48] <alfredo> [ FOUND NOWHERE ] ....Can anyone help me Out....
[09:48] <Jordan_U> Shanth: The stuff on the right is Conky.
[09:48] <sirriffsalot> What's the ls command for listing something containing specific text? Such as ".wav"?
[09:49] <Jordan_U> sirriffsalot: echo *.wav
[09:49] <alfredo> Anyone having experience in installing, cofiguring, running SFTP-SERVER on Ubuntu..., Pls share it..,i'couldn't find any help...
[09:50] <Conradzz> jordan how long you been using linux?
[09:50] <Jordan_U> sirriffsalot: The '*.wav' pattern is not something interpreted by ls, it's interpreted by the shell. #bash can explain more about these patterns (called "globs").
[09:50] <sirriffsalot> Jordan_U: sure, but is there not some way of doing this for "ls" as well?
[09:50] <llutz> alfredo: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot
[09:50] <Blackshirt> Alfredo, what your problem with thant?
[09:50] <TorbenBeta> Has anyone sop player running and is willing to help me?
[09:50] <L3top> sirriffsalot: are you trying to find text inside of files?
[09:51] <rabbi1> Conradzz: hard freeze
[09:51] <sirriffsalot> L3top: no, simply files containing certain texts within a directory
[09:51] <sirriffsalot> L3top: via the command line:P
[09:51] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: About 7 years I think.
[09:51] <L3top> ls /path/*.wav
[09:51] <Conradzz> that was my issue also rabbi1, the culprit was most likely the proprietary drivers I installed
[09:51] <sirriffsalot> L3top: will that give me a list of all files with ".wav" in them?
[09:51] <L3top> that end with .wav sirriffsalot
[09:52] <chmod777> hello
[09:52] <rabbi1> Conradzz: infact i am trying to get my nvidia from day 1, may be that?
[09:52] <Conradzz> what drivers did you install rabbi1?
[09:52] <sirriffsalot> L3top: I'm looking for files with those labels on them, not directories:D
[09:53] <llutz> sirriffsalot: find path/ -type f -iname '*.wav'
[09:53] <L3top> sirriffsalot: if you are looking for files that end with .wav, that is how you do it.
[09:53] <L3top> or that
[09:53] <sirriffsalot> Are there no shorter ways? Haha, I swear to remember seeing someone doing "ls *.wav" or something like it
[09:54] <alfredo> Blackshirt: i tried using OpenSSh but I don't find any clue...port scan or ps .... but no evidence of SFTP-server
[09:54] <sirriffsalot> llutz: All I get from that is find: `path/': No such file or directory
[09:54] <rabbi1> Conradzz: tried to  install from the normal Hardware - Additional Drivers from the system settings, but it hanged twice during installation, although it was not complete, not even now.  but now i have removed it, but still OS freezes
[09:54] <L3top> sirriffsalot: I told you... ls /path/*.wav
[09:54] <llutz> trolling-sunday...?
[09:54] <Conradzz> you've completely purged it rabbi1?
[09:54] <sirriffsalot> L3top: ls: cannot access /path/*.wav: No such file or directory
[09:55] <rabbi1> Conradzz: and i really can't predict, as its a fresh install and doing lot of installations and stuffs
[09:55] <L3top> sirriffsalot: you replace /path/ with the path of the directory you want to list
[09:55] <rabbi1> Conradzz: just purged it on instructions from here :  http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/
[09:55] <sirriffsalot> L3top: oh, haha... how embarrassing:/
[09:55] <fahmyboy> Hi All
[09:55] <llutz> sirriffsalot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:55] <alfredo> i tried using OpenSSh but I don't find any clue...port scan or ps .... but no evidence of SFTP-server
[09:55] <rabbi1> Conradzz: but i am not sure nvidia is causing the problem :(
[09:56] <L3top> rabbi1: are you on the machine with the problem now?
[09:56] <sirriffsalot> llutz: cheers:P Wanted to save some searching time;)
[09:56] <fahmyboy> I need to run some windows Programs, and have installed Virtual box with the intention of installing Windows to run those programs requiring windows
[09:56] <rabbi1> L3top: yeap
[09:56] <llutz> sirriffsalot: welcome to ignore
[09:56] <fahmyboy> can someone recommend which version of windows i should run and how much ram i should allocate to it?
[09:56] <L3top> rabbi1: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[09:57] <llutz> !details | alfredo
[09:57] <L3top> rabbi1: in a terminal. Please paste the output.
[09:57] <Conradzz> fahmyboy, well that depends which programs are you trying to run?
[09:57] <sirriffsalot> L3top: I keep getting "no such file or directory":-S
[09:57] <fahmyboy> dont yell at me, but I have a windows phone 7
[09:57] <fahmyboy> in addition to my galaxy s2
[09:57] <fahmyboy> I also have an ipod
[09:57] <rabbi1> L3top: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C68 [GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a] [10de:053b] (rev a2)
[09:57] <L3top> sirriffsalot: put here what you are typing in a terminal
[09:57] <Conradzz> well sirri it sounds like you have no .wav files in that directory then
[09:58] <Jordan_U> fahmyboy: That sounds like a question for ##windows.
[09:58] <sirriffsalot> L3top: "sirriffsalot@aspire:~$ ls /home/sirriffsalot/Music/*.wav" for example
[09:58] <fahmyboy> is that an irc room?
[09:58] <Jordan_U> fahmyboy: Yes.
[09:58] <rabbi1> L3top: fyi: i just completed, sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[09:58] <fahmyboy> ok, on my way there now... Cheers matey
[09:59] <L3top> Why are you using the xswat ppa rabbi1?
[09:59] <rabbi1> L3top: followed this : http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/
[10:00] <sirriffsalot> Conradzz: oh, does it not go through all the folders from there and check? Will I have to do it for every folder with wav in them..?
[10:00] <fahmyboy> @Jordon_U out of interest, what does Wine work well for?
[10:01] <Conradzz> no I don't believe it does sirri
[10:01] <L3top> then there are no wavs in that directory or you are misspelling something.
[10:01] <Conradzz> for instance type ls into the terminal, and see what it shows you
[10:01] <L3top> no it does not rabbi
[10:01] <sirriffsalot> ls shows me a bunch of folders:P
[10:01] <sirriffsalot> No wav
[10:01] <Frank-Man_> Hi Guys, after the last Update will my the Network-manager connect my WLAN Connection a little late (30sec). Can anybody help me =
[10:01] <Frank-Man_> ?
[10:01] <L3top> you will have to use the find command llutz gave you
[10:01] <L3top> It is not recursive sirriffsalot
[10:02] <sirriffsalot> Hmm ok
[10:02] <rabbi1> L3top: ok, what shall i do now ?
[10:02] <MisterE> hello
[10:02] <Conradzz> try ls -a *.wav
[10:02] <MisterE> dax told me to apply for ops here
[10:03] <L3top> sirriffsalot: find ~/Music/ -type f -name '*.wav'
[10:03] <MisterE> I run backtrack, does that count?
[10:03] <sirriffsalot> L3top: whoooa
[10:03] <L3top> ls -a will just show hidden files/folders etc
[10:03] <llutz> !backtrack | MisterE it does count, its not supported here at all
[10:04] <MisterE> thanks ubottu
[10:04] <sirriffsalot> L3top: surprisingly few .wav files there, cheers mate!=)
[10:04] <MisterE> helpful bot
[10:04] <Conradzz> ah l3top I thought you could throw a *.wav in with it
[10:05] <alfredo> ubottu: i've my ubuntu 10.10...and i want to create my projetc on SFTP Server- CLient implementation in lang Python....but to test my client i need a SFTP server.....i learnt from my googling that....openssh in ubuntu provides SFTP-SERVER...but i' m not able to use it....i can't find whether it is running or not....i first...start ssh....checked the sshd_config for subsystem....and then ./usr/lib/OpenSSH/sftp-server......on client side when connecting usin
[10:05] <alfredo> g ....sftp <ip>...ERROR : connecting to <ip>  read from socket failed: conn reset by peer
[10:05] <MisterE> lol
[10:05] <MisterE> sorry ubottu
[10:07] <L3top> sorry rabbi1... you purged the nvidia-current driver, and reinstalled it, and it still locks randomly?
[10:07] <alfredo> pls any other Ubuntu - GEEK , Ubuntu- Techy who can help me out of the problem(refer  to 10 lines above)
[10:07] <Aress> how to patch wine with this?
[10:07] <Aress> http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25672
[10:07] <Conradzz> He's gone L3top
[10:08] <Conradzz> It's kinda funny people always use "no viruses" as a selling point
[10:09] <Conradzz> I don't get viruses on my windows machine
[10:09] <Jordan_U> Conradzz: L3top: You both seem to be missing the fact that it's bash, not ls, which interprets globs. If you want a glob which matches hidden files as well you can use 'echo .*.wav *.wav' or 'shopt -s dotglob; echo *.wav'.
[10:09] <L3top> echo?
[10:11] <L3top> I did not understand your initial use of that.
[10:11] <L3top> that will just echo the literal string *.wav
[10:11] <L3top> having nothing to do with globbing
[10:11] <llutz> L3top: not if you have .wav files in pwd
[10:11] <Conradzz> he wanted to find all .wav files
[10:12] <L3top> ah
[10:12] <L3top> I was completely unaware of that.
[10:12] <alex_425> xxx
[10:12] <alfredo> Can anyone enlist procedure to  install and start SFTP-SERVER on ubuntu 10.10
[10:12] <drdo> What's the "extras" repository?
[10:13] <iceroot> !eol | alfredo
[10:13] <L3top> and wouldnt you want to do something like echo .[^.]*.wav?
[10:13] <llutz> alfredo: besides the EOL: sudo apt-get install openssh-server && sudo service ssh start
[10:13] <iceroot> alfredo: the repos are down for your version, you have to use the archive mirrors and install openssh-server
[10:13] <Jordan_U> L3top: Again, it's not the command which interprets globs, it's the shell. That's why echo, which simply prints its arguments and knows nothing about files or globs, still works for this (and why I used it in my example).
[10:14] <alfredo> links needed...and after that how can i run SFTP -Server and check it
[10:14] <llutz> alfredo: sftp is a ssh-subsystem, not an own service
[10:14] <llutz> "subsystem of ssh"
[10:15] <llutz> alfredo: config options to be found in "man sshd_config"
[10:15] <Conradzz> bah still got a half hour, I'm going to bed, later
[10:15] <alfredo> llutz: but anyhow.... can you tell how to go for sftp....my clients are giving ERROR: conn reset by peer
[10:16] <Conradzz> thanks for the help guys

[10:16] <matanya> wlan issues:
[10:16] <matanya> from dmesg: wlan0: deauthenticating from 14:d6:4d:f3:b7:68 by local choice (reason=3)
[10:16] <L3top> I understand what you are saying, I still do not understand why echo behaves this way.
[10:16] <L3top> Jordan_U: ^
[10:16] <alfredo> are there some links or forum  cahnnels specific to sftp on ubuntu...
[10:16] <llutz> alfredo: increase verbosity , set "LogLevel DEBUG1" and try again
[10:16] <matanya> I get disconnected every time I connect
[10:17] <matanya> on 12.04
[10:17] <llutz> L3top: because its not echo, it's the shell interpreting the *
[10:17] <llutz> L3top: "before" echo works
[10:17] <Jordan_U> L3top: Then you don't actually understand what I'm saying :)  (though that's likely because I'm not explaining it well).
[10:18] <Jordan_U> L3top: Open a test shell and run "set -x" That will print each command which is executed, as it is executed, then run "echo *".
[10:18] <alfredo> are there some links or forum  channels specific to sftp on ubuntu...
[10:19] <llutz> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html alfredo
[10:19] <L3top> I understand. Thank you Jordan_U and llutz.
[10:19] <Jordan_U> L3top: You're welcome.
[10:19] <llutz> alfredo: sry wrong link
[10:20] <alfredo> thanks LLutz for such informations....
[10:21] <alfredo> Frnds .... ifound this channel really informative....is there any way i could get the chat archive of this channel....whether i'm available or not...
[10:22] <llutz> alfredo: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com
[10:23] <alfredo> llutz thanks again...
[10:24] <llutz> alfredo:but still: if you already have openssh-server installed and running and keep getting that error on connect, you should increase verbosity by setting "LogLevel DEBUG1" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and try again to find information in the logs
[10:25] <macram> hi
[10:25] <macram> how was called the "cccleaner" like software in ubuntu?
[10:26] <alfredo> oh yes llutz.... can you tell me ...as others told me that my ubunut 10.10 doesn't support...is it the problem
[10:26] <llutz> alfredo: your 10.10 being EOL has nothing to do with that error. you still should consider upgrading
[10:27] <cloudgeek> how to edit a pdf file any tool or trick
[10:27] <macram> cloudgeek, i think scribus would do the trick for you.
[10:27] <macram> look in the software center
[10:27] <alfredo> cloudgeek: foxit reader
[10:28] <llutz> _reader_ to _edit_ pdf?
[10:28] <cloudgeek> macram: okay , but i want make changes in alreday created pdf
[10:28] <alfredo> ok....LLutz now i shall check it out...and solve it....Thanks again....
[10:31] <macram> oh, cloudgeek
[10:31] <macram> sorry. scribus can't edit pdf.
[10:32] <macram> BUT you can convert a PDF to SVG with Inkscape
[10:32] <macram> and edit that SVG.
[10:41] <ghost_> can anyone help me with setting a static ip on ubuntu server
[10:41] <ghost_> my resolv.conf file keeps over writing on reboot
[10:41] <ghost_> and my connection stops working
[10:42] <llutz> !resolvconf | ghost_

[10:50] <kaddi> hi, is it a good idea to upgrade to 12.04 or are there a lot of issues and it's better to wait some weeks?
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> ghost_  make sure nm-applet doesnt load on boot (nm = network manager)
[10:50] <caracal_> kaddi, I've just upgraded, it works nice
[10:50] <ghost_> MonkeyDusk do i have to worry about that if its the server version of ubuntu?
[10:51] <kaddi> cause the release notes no longer list the known issues
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> ghost_  also: modify /etc/network/interfaces
[10:51] <Debolaz> kaddi: No particular issues for me. 12.04 has focused a lot on fixing bugs and improving usability rather than adding new features, so it's not entirely unexpected.
[10:52] <kaddi> ok, well here goes nutttin.. if I go offline something has gone terribly terribly wrong
[10:52] <kaddi> and I will come back and threaten to switch to windows unless you fix it instantly! j/k
[10:52] <ghost_> MonkeyDust: my /etc/network/interfaces file is edited fine, i have to add the nameserver x.x.x.x line to resolv.conf
[10:52] <ghost_> MonkeyDust: and everything works just fine, until a reboot
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> ghost_  restart the network daemon before you reboot
[10:53] <ghost_> MonkeyDust: with sudo /etc/init.d/network/interfaces restart right?
[10:54] <MonkeyDust> ghost_  yes, or with service, though i still use /etc/init.d/ myself
[10:54] <shazzr> MonkeyDust: Good info, but sadly it won't help me boot my computer. The funny thing is that I had it running fine with an earlier version of Ubuntu.
[10:55] <ghost_> MonkeyDust: if so, im doing that, in the past i have had to use the chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf command to fix this
[10:55] <ghost_> but its not working this time, that line sends an error
[10:56] <llutz> ghost_: read the link ubottu provided you earlier. you can add " dns-nameservers x.x.x.x" to /etc/network/interfaces   too
[10:59] <ghost_> llutz: i did but didnt quite understand that part untill now xD ty i will try that
[10:59] <kaddi> i should prolly have switched to a quicker server for the downloads though >.>
[10:59] <kaddi> at this rate it's gonna be a while
[10:59] <llutz> ghost_: "nameserver x.x.x.x" in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base  and running "sudo resolvconf -u" would also do
[11:01] <Dr_willis> i alwyas just set up a dns server i want on my router to give out via its dhcp service ;)

[11:34] <ksian> I just need it to check for name, file size and modification date
[11:34] <morsnowski> have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync on the bottom is s list of aps that use rsync
[11:36] <ksian> but is there a way to configure it just to search for what I need?
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> ksian  there's the command 'find'
[11:39] <hsihsa> Hi all, need some help...i am facing an issue with 12.04, when i boot I get black screen
[11:39] <eutheria> wow has it been so long that 8.04 isn't supported any more
[11:39] <hsihsa> after reading few forum post tried nomodeset grub option

[11:40] <eutheria> other than liferea what other rss readers are there?
[11:40] <morsnowski> ksian, find has an exec command that lets you do whatever you want with an indentified file
[11:40] <Rhonda> What can be the issue with precise not being able to start gnome-terminal? When I click the dashboard it doesn't display anything in the application menut at all, and with alt-f2 it doesn't seem to be able to run it neither …

[11:41] <hsihsa> now I am able to boot but screen display is not good
[11:42] <eutheria> i guess a better question is, which rss readers do people like other than liferea
[11:42] <eutheria> seems like liferea is the only that integrates into the message notify thingy
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> ksian  I must have misunderstood this: "search for what I need"

[11:46] <muh2000> how can i fix that?
[11:47] <Hounddog> i tried upgrade, tried fixing the installation and tried purging it also
[11:48] <morsnowski> Hounddog, not sure but sometimes a 'apt-get install -f' helps
[11:48] <muh2000> is there a "rc.local" file that will be used only after booting?
[11:48] <Hounddog> that's what i meant with fixing it
[11:48] <morsnowski> :)
[11:49] <Hounddog> sudo apt-get install -f ran it a few times and alternating with apt-get upgrade
[11:49] <morsnowski> apt-get upgrade -f

[11:50] <shazzr> *downloading Ubuntu 10.10 to see if that version is able to boot...*
[11:50] <ayhan> is there a way to maintain the aspect ratio of the screen in ubuntu?
[11:50] <Hounddog> morsnowski: same..
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> ayhan  xrandr ?
[11:50] <Hounddog> if i could at least get rid of this package
[11:50] <rokr1> Hi there I got problem with indicator-datetime-service
[11:51] <rokr1> memory leak
[11:51] <ayhan> @monkeydust, what?
[11:51] <rokr1> it fills all my 16GiB ram
[11:51] <Hounddog> sudo apt-get remove --purge oracle-java7-installer this is what i tried last
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> hello

[11:51] <morsnowski> Hounddog, dpkg -P <package> purges it
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> cannot log in a torrent tracker
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> i.e.
[11:51] <eutheria> weird something has caused liferea to stop updating
[11:51] <Hounddog> morsnowski: let's see :)
[11:51] <ihjiuzvv> I get a torrent, and it doesnt start downloading
[11:51] <eutheria> or more to the point displaying anything
[11:52] <ihjiuzvv> they told me to disable dht/pex
[11:52] <rokr1> any solution ?
[11:52] <ihjiuzvv> whats going on, somebody knows ?
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> ayhan  just noticed: xrandr is for dual screens, it's different
[11:52] <rokr1> Debian was better
[11:52] <MyWay> oh solved, in 12.04 you need to hold alt to edit the panel TT
[11:52] <Hounddog> morsnowski: nope...
[11:52] <Hounddog> same output
[11:52] <Stanley00> !enter | ihjiuzvv just do what it said and please :
[11:53] <morsnowski> hmm I'm out then :(
[11:53] <ayhan> so is there another way to maintain the aspect ratio?
[11:53] <Hounddog> morsnowski: thx anyway...
[11:54] <kelvinella> is iphone or ipod no longer automount in ubuntu?
[11:54] <ihjiuzvv> ok, sorry, my mistake

[11:59] <Nemernicul> pop up balloons are hard to read

[12:02] <Rhonda> How can I get rid of compiz? It seems to be a bit memory hungry and I only have 500 megs of ram …
[12:02] <Rhonda> Hounddog: in
[12:03] <rokr1> Hi guys
[12:03] <ayhan> Rhonda: go to software center, search for compiz and remove
[12:03] <Hounddog> Rhonda: ?
[12:03] <Rhonda> Hounddog: in #debian they don't support ubuntu :)
[12:03] <Hounddog> Rhonda: yeah, stuck in their own little world ;)
[12:03] <dzocrnanula> compiz process is using 15% of my processor all the time and that is causing my laptop to get really hot.. are there any configurations to change? using ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on my HP laptop with intel pentium p6200 processor, 2gb of ram and amd radeon hd 6300m series.
[12:03] <Rhonda> ayhan: I would think it is some required dependency …
[12:03] <Hounddog> morsnowski: i got it out finally...
[12:04] <morsnowski> Hounddog, great how did you do it?
[12:04] <Rhonda> Hounddog: That's not the issue.  Debian is in specific parts different enough that they usually can't help.  Or rather, Ubuntu is different, depending on your point of view.
[12:04] <Hounddog> morsnowski:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/126372/sha256sum-mismatch-jdk-7u3-linux-x64-tar-gz-error-when-trying-to-install-orac
[12:04] <Hounddog> Rhonda: stuck in the apt-get/dpkg cannot be so entirely different
[12:04] <Rhonda> Hounddog: That "little world" attitude has nothing to do with it and is misleading.
[12:04] <morsnowski> Hounddog, nice
[12:05] <Hounddog> morsnowski: so manually removing some files works
[12:05] <rokr1> I accidentally removed all ubuntu components
[12:05] <Rhonda> Hounddog: Well, it is, often enough.  Different dependencies, packages built slightly different, different resolvers.
[12:05] <rokr1> using apt-get purge ubuntu*
[12:05] <rokr1> apt is now broken
[12:05] <rokr1> is there anyway to recover
[12:05] <rokr1> ?
[12:05] <ayhan> i want to change the resolution of the screen, but the options available are too little, how could i get the resolution i want?
[12:05] <Hounddog> Rhonda: was not even asking about installing a package anymore... just wanted to get rid of it
[12:06] <itaylor57> rokr1, reinstall?
[12:06] <ubuntunobody> hi, how do you enable animated progressbars in gtk3? I'm using the adwaita theme and progressbars looks extremely choppy
[12:06] <dodeledoo> Wow, why is #ubuntu so MASSIVE?
[12:07] <morsnowski> dodeledoo, because it is
[12:08] <dodeledoo> wtf kind of lame455 answer is "because it is?"
[12:08] <Vile`> what kind of question was yours ?
[12:08] <Rhonda> Hounddog: Same difference.
[12:08] <rokr1> no other way ?
[12:08] <eutheria> dodeledoo, because it isn't?
[12:08] <auronandace> dodeledoo: perhaps its because of the level of interest in ubuntu
[12:08] <Rhonda> rokr1: What all did it remove?  If you haven't checked the list before accepting, why not?
[12:08] <dodeledoo> I thought WIndows was the most popular OS
[12:08] <eutheria> the answer might be 42, but the question is wrong
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> dodeledoo  did you have a support question?
[12:09] <eutheria> dodeledoo, not on an open source irc network
[12:09] <dodeledoo> MonkeyDust: Yeah, how do I install Ubuntu's top-tier edition?
[12:09] <Rhonda> rokr1: You could manually download the missing package and install it with dpkg.
[12:09] <eutheria> his question is what is green and lives under a bridge, a troll
[12:09] <dodeledoo> And can it be installed concurrently with Windows 7?
[12:09] <morsnowski> dodeledoo, yes it can no problem
[12:09] <Rhonda> rokr1: Of course there are ways to fix it - but that depends on what exactly is broken.
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> !install | dodeledoo
[12:10] <jo-erlend> what's the easiest way to watch all network traffic from/to a single IP in my network?
[12:10] <morsnowski> jo-erlend, wireshark
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> jo-erlend  try lsof
[12:10]  * eutheria gets a stick and beats liferea
[12:10] <Rhonda> jo-erlend: tcpdump
[12:10] <rokr1> I still have aptitude functional
[12:11] <Rhonda> rokr1: Then apt can't be broken because aptitude uses apt, as the name suggests
[12:11] <Daiz_> Anyone here know how to get the Build-essential apt on kubuntu 12.04 without an internet connection? It doesn't seems to be on my livecd, or atleast moun won't find it.
[12:11] <eutheria> i wonder if it is my gtk theme that is messing up liferea
[12:11] <Rhonda> Daiz_: No surprise on that because a livecd isn't meant for development. :)
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  i use it too, whats the issue?
[12:12] <Daiz_> Yea, it's just tough trying to compile the network driver for kubuntu without the tools to do so. :(
[12:13] <danmar> hi! I bought a toshiba satellite today. I just installed ubuntu 12.04. My wireless networking doesn't work.
[12:13] <danmar> Can somebody help me?
[12:13] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, i must have set something, all the articles have gone, if i run it in debug mode i can see it requests them, but when i display them the debug messages say 0 articles, i've delete the config from ~/.liferea and .gconf,  i ran it as a different user and it works fine
[12:13] <Stanley00> danmar: did you look at additional driver?
[12:13] <amine> pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[12:14] <eutheria> there must be something somewhere i can delete to reset liferea
[12:14] <danmar> how do I do that?
[12:14] <Rhonda> danmar: What exactly do you mean with "doesn't work".
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  disappeared or just hidden after you read them?
[12:14] <rokr1> Hi danmar
[12:14] <Stanley00> danmar: It is in System Setting...
[12:14] <danmar> well.. the ifconfig doesn't report that I have a wireless network card
[12:15] <rokr1> danmar : try checking lspci and check the make of wireless
[12:15] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, so you click on a freed the top panel with the date and headline is missing any content, i know there is content as it is slashdot :)
[12:15] <amine> join «ubuntu.fr
[12:15] <danmar> lspci => 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723
[12:15] <eutheria> it must be a local config setting i have messed up with my tweaking as it works fine for another user
[12:15] <Rhonda> Then the driver seems to be missing.  Output of lspci and dmesg might be helpful to further look for the cause.
[12:15] <rokr1> danmar: then go to the vendor website and download the drivers and compile them
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  quite drastic: delete some hidden .config file
[12:16] <rokr1> danmar: it will create a driver module in the system
[12:16] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, i deleted the stuff under .gconf and .liferea but that didn't fix anything :(
[12:16] <rokr1> danmar: check with lsmod and find if the drivers are actually loaded
[12:17] <danmar> Stanley00: I did not see additional drivers for the network
[12:17] <rokr1> danmar : there is an option through gui, go to settings and check additional hardware
[12:18] <Stanley00> danmar: well, then we need some info, please run lspci -k  and pastebin the result
[12:18] <Daiz_> is there any way to get the tools to compile drivers, even if the pc doesn't have internet connection? can't find a .deb package with them.
[12:18] <Nemernicul> so is anyone using calibre here?
[12:18] <rokr1> danmar: you can even download it with ethernet connection
[12:18] <fwisses> Oh, thank God you guys are here. I'm... I'm scared. I launched gparted the other day and shrunk my data partition a couple of gigs. Then I used the power settings and TRIED to get it not to suspend when I closed the lid. No go. So  figured I could just suspend it and start it up later.
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  delete ~/.liferea_1.8/ => be careful, you lose all settings
[12:19] <sirriffsalot> When someone tells me to get the dssi plugins for softsynths, I always get confused by what exactly I need... There are so many "dssi" packages, same with so many other things I want to install. Could someone explain what I am missing here?:P
[12:19] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, like i said i've done that and the .gconf settings
[12:19] <fwisses> This morning I wake up, open up the laptop, and there's a black screen with the mouse pointer able to move. So I wait. I realize it won't load anytime soon.
[12:19] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, you only lose the feeds, the main config is under .gconf/apps/liferea
[12:19] <fwisses> SO I go to my 'tty's, type in top
[12:19] <jo-erlend> morsnowski, wireshark tells me no interfaces can be used.. On all my boxes.
[12:20] <morsnowski> logout and in again
[12:20] <fwisses> ALL my processes were sleeping.
[12:20] <fwisses> how do I wake them up?
[12:20] <morsnowski> wireshark puts you in the right group but you only get access after you login again
[12:21] <amine> pour koi  sa marche pas pour conecter sur ubuntu.fr
[12:21] <LjL> !fr | amine
[12:21] <morsnowski> '/join ubuntu.fr'
[12:21] <fwisses> So is there a way to 'wake up' processes? And is it safe? If gparted gets canceled or breaks, my data's gone.
[12:21] <rokr1> how to get apt back
[12:21] <rokr1> aptitude is still functioning
[12:22] <danmar> Stanley00: Here is lspci -k output : http://pastebin.com/7MTDzyDY
[12:23] <amine> join «ubuntu-fr
[12:23] <Stanley00> amine: it is /join ubuntu-fr
[12:24] <eutheria> is it gconf i need to install to edit my gnome settings?
[12:24] <eutheria> i think liferea must store some extra config in a registry type system
[12:24] <stars69> good morning anyone know where is the path for desktop sharing application under? /etc?
[12:25] <sirriffsalot> When someone tells me to get the dssi plugins for softsynths, I always get confused by what exactly I need... There are so many "dssi" packages, same with so many other things I want to install. Could someone explain what I am missing here?:P :P
[12:25] <Stanley00> danmar: hmm, can you please run this command "lsmod" and "ifconfig -a"
[12:25] <Rhonda> eutheria: gconf-editor
[12:25] <Hounddog>  i have been following this now http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en#repo through the repository to install java... but if i look in /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/
[12:25] <Hounddog>  it is completly empty
[12:25] <fwisses> stars69: Search /usr
[12:25] <eutheria> thank you Rhonda just found it :)
[12:25] <stars69> fwisses, thanks
[12:25] <eutheria> yes there is config in there
[12:26] <eutheria> hmm how do i delete an entry
[12:28] <danmar> Stanley00: lsmod => http://pastebin.com/Dxi6PKtR
[12:28] <Rhonda> eutheria: Did you try right-click on it?
[12:28] <eutheria> Rhonda, yep
[12:28] <eutheria> no right click options

[12:29] <fwisses> Is there a way to wake my sleeping processes?
[12:30] <danmar> I hope I have enabled the wireless network properly. I have a button to toggle it on the keyboard. The wireless network lamp is yellow now.
[12:30] <morsnowski> amine,  '/join #ubuntu.fr'
[12:30] <fwisses> Everything except for top is sleeping, and my gpartee is doing something important. I can't just kill it.

[12:30] <MonkeyDust> amine  type /join #ubuntu-fr
[12:31] <Hounddog> now i do not know where to point netbeans too...
[12:31] <Hounddog> can't find where the jre has installed itself
[12:31] <jackiechan0> how can i check the chipset and the socket of my motherboard, i would like to upgrade my CPU
[12:31] <Stanley00> danmar: you can test by running "rfkill list" and check that soft and hard lock is no for your wireless
[12:32] <danmar> Stanley00: ok.. I'll try
[12:32] <Stanley00> Hounddog: you installed via apt-get, right?
[12:32] <thresh> hi. how do I enable text-mode install on ubuntu 12.04 64bit cd?
[12:32] <Hounddog> Stanley00: yes, according to those instructions
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> !text| thresh
[12:33] <thresh> looks like ubuntu chooses something weird to display X on. I'm on nvidia gtx550 ti with hdmi connected HDTV on Asus P8Z77 motherboard.
[12:33] <Stanley00> Hounddog: then, dpkg -L <package-name> will list installed file
[12:33] <danmar> I only see info about my Bluetooth (that is blocked by intention). No info about my wireless.
[12:33] <Hounddog> Stanley00: thx, let me see
[12:33] <thresh> I'm not sure CD installer uses grub now does it?
[12:33] <action09> hi
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> thresh  i missed that part in your question
[12:35] <furycd001> Guys does anyone here know how i can change the logon wallpaper :?
[12:35] <phkaham> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. How do I mount SD card?
[12:35] <Hounddog> Stanley00: hmmm doesn't look like it, as i understand it is only a script which then installs the java
[12:35] <action09> on 12.04, i actually have ubuntu classic 2D, i tried unity and gnome shell but i don't like them; My question is can i use another desktop/window managers ? like xfce, Cinnamon..etc easily ? and so choose to go back to gnome classic if i want ?
[12:35] <Stanley00> danmar: it's very strange to me, as I know, realtek wireless work well with ubuntu. Sorry, but I think I can't help you more.
[12:35] <jo-erlend> morsnowski, it was not sufficient to log out and back in.
[12:36] <action09> question seems simple but i just want to know if there will not be conflicts..
[12:36] <thresh> looks like I can press ESC to choose between stuff to load. trying nomodeset now...
[12:36] <danmar> Stanley00: ok thanks for your effort so far.
[12:36] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, hi, so the main config that controls the app is under .gconf, however this is read once a log in,  so clearing out your config from there does nothing until you log out, so problem fixed now, i didn't need to delete my .liferea as that is only the db for the feeds which were working fine :)
[12:36] <Stanley00> danmar: you are welcome,
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> eutheria  great, but what file exactly? for future reference
[12:38] <Trieste> Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 12.04, and when I log in, I get this bastard of an error: http://i.imgur.com/GP7Db.png (the whole message could never fit on my monitor, it's as long as the image, but only the part that was on my screen is visible) - any idea on how to fix this?
[12:38] <eutheria> MonkeyDust, if you look at ~/.gconf/apps/<app name here> you will find liferea there is you config for the app in general, not the feeds db which holds the feeds data, i assume the guy wrote used sqlite or something
[12:40] <lelamal> Trieste: join #kubuntu
[12:40] <Trieste> oh, okay, thanks :)
[12:42] <Hounddog> looks like i found it finally
[12:42] <Hounddog> but netbeans is still fricking slow
[12:45] <curiousx> aloha all
[12:45] <Hounddog> file opens under 20 seconds in netbeans... it's fun trying to work like that...
[12:54] <fabi_an> hi, i just tried to remote-upgrade a 10.04 server to 12.04 to see what happens. I don't have easy physical access, but it's not that far away
[12:54] <ashwanilabs> hello guys
[12:54] <KM0201> fabi_an: wow, thats ballsy
[12:55] <fabi_an> my problem is that it's a LVM on RAID5 without boot-partition and now grub doesn't fit anzmore
[12:55] <fabi_an> is there a way to either downgrade grub or use less modules that aren't needed or repartition the disk?
[12:55] <sotrudnik> I have a problem in Ubuntu LibreOffice Base; it says "Report Builder is not installed" when I'm trying to open any Report
[12:55] <sotrudnik> I installed .oxf (or whatever it is called) http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-extensions/files/79/10/oracle-report-builder.oxt
[12:55] <sotrudnik> after that, Base started to say "loading library component failed"
[12:56] <fabi_an> KM0201: :) i now, but i do that on not critical servers, because i'm interested in how the distros are prepared. I'm disappointed that LTS->LTS isn't stable.
[12:56] <KM0201> fabi_an: lts>lts should be fine (although i think it was recommended to wait until 12.04.1
[12:56] <phkaham> How do I mount SD card?
[12:57] <fabi_an> KM0201: true that, it even said so in the manpage or somewhere.
[12:57] <sotrudnik> phkaham: usually it is auto-mounted
[12:57] <fabi_an> KM0201: nevertheless, any thing i can do about my grub before trying to reboot
[12:57] <fabi_an> ?
[12:57] <ring1> fabi_an, on a server always wait for the first point release :)
[12:58] <phkaham> sotrudnik, nothing happend when i put it in.
[12:58] <sotrudnik> phkaham: try `dmesg' command
[13:00] <itaylor57> KM0201, o/
[13:00] <KM0201> itaylor57: o/
[13:02] <phkaham> sotrudnik, that didn't tell me anything. :=)
[13:02] <sotrudnik> according to this -- http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/ -- Report Builder must be included in LibreOffice, right?
[13:03] <sotrudnik> I'm using LibreOffice <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:03] <sotrudnik> so this is a bug, right?
[13:11] <erealz> anyone know of a program that will show my connected ip address ap in the menue bar  like applets or somthing
[13:12] <Chuck_Norris> erealz: in gnome shell there is a pluginfor that
[13:12] <erealz> what it called chuck
[13:12] <ksian> how can I hide Join/left messages from empathy
[13:12] <ksian> ?

[13:14] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:14] <azimut> problem: "The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems. [...]" aptitude update gives several errors, the first one "Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric/restricted Sources  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]" any ide?
[13:15] <Blarrffll> azimut: If you try opening http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ from a web browser on the same machine, does it open ?
[13:15] <Jazanyc>  need help with digital sound in ubuntu can anyone help?
[13:16] <azimut> Blarrffll: I can access http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ from firefox
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Jazanyc
[13:17] <azimut> The question is where 'oneiric/restricted' is located exactly and if it is accessible
[13:18] <Chuck_Norris> erealz: some like that? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/52/netmonitor/
[13:19] <Blarrffll> azimut: does apt-get update give the same result?
[13:20] <azimut> Blarrffll: Yes
[13:20] <Jazanyc> what is !patience?
[13:20] <azimut> Before the first error, i get several lines like 'Hit http://de.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric-backports/universe Translation-en'
[13:21] <azimut> these seem to work, starting with 'oneiric/restricted' the problems start
[13:22] <mun> hi
[13:23] <Jazanyc> can't get digital sound to work, tried many forums in wiki and no luck can anyone point me in the right direction?
[13:23] <mun> what's a good software to use for scanning multiple pages? i remember it wasn't simplescan, but forgot its name.
[13:23] <Unkn0wn> mun: you me xsane?
[13:23] <Unkn0wn> *mean
[13:23] <mun> Unkn0wn, there doesn't seem to be an option for multiple pages though it seems
[13:24] <mun> oh yes it does
[13:24] <mun> multipage
[13:24] <mun> yes that's right
[13:24] <mun> thanks!
[13:24] <FloodBot1> mun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:26] <flaw-> hi guys can i ask for some help?
[13:26] <compdoc> maybe
[13:26] <NurseDad>  repo do I need enabled to install moonlight?
[13:27] <elky> flaw-, no need to ask to ask, just ask your question
[13:27] <Jazanyc> trying to get dolby digital and DTS sorround to work but have not had any luck any suggestions?
[13:27] <NurseDad> sorry what repo do I need to install moonlight
[13:27] <elky> flaw-, if we know, we'll answer, if not, then you haven't lost anything
[13:27] <krababbel> Jazanyc: you mean passthrough to an external decoder?
[13:27] <flaw-> well first sry for my poor english
[13:28] <Blarrffll> azimut: Not sure, sorry
[13:28] <flaw-> i installed ubuntu desktop for first time and after the install my monitor is unknown
[13:28] <azimut> Blarrffl: ok thanks.
[13:28] <Jazanyc> that is correct krababbel
[13:28] <cristian_c> Hi
[13:28] <cristian_c> How can I identify alsa  modules?
[13:29] <elky> flaw-, what do you mean by "is unknown"? does it show the desktop at all?
[13:29] <flaw-> also i installed the additional drivers for my nvidia and when reboot for 20-30 secs my monitor is Sync. out of range
[13:29] <drostie> NurseDad: it was in natty's universe, but it appears to have not made it to oneiric or precise.
[13:29] <flaw-> elky:  yes i have desktop
[13:30] <flaw-> but i cant change resolutions etc
[13:30] <drostie> NurseDad: let me check launchpad for a PPA though.
[13:30] <flaw-> i dont have command such as nvidia-xconfig
[13:31] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: lsmod | grep noveau
[13:31] <elky> flaw-, if you mean in the 'displays' dialog, i think that's normal, especially for laptops. it's talking about the actual screen, not the graphics card
[13:31] <Jazanyc> krababbel: have tried the wiki pages with no luck, plus some of the info is way beyond my ubuntu abilities
[13:31] <flaw-> Chuck_Norris:  nothing appear
[13:31] <krababbel> Jazanyc: pulseaudio probably has wrong default settings for you, like 44.1KHz instead of 48KHz for example. maybe this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1151680
[13:32] <drostie> NurseDad: it looks like it stopped being in the repos because it started being a browser add-on; see http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx .
[13:32] <flaw-> elky:  im not with laptop
[13:32] <elky> flaw-, that's ok, not all screens in the world are known ;)
[13:32] <Jazanyc> thanks I'll tried that.
[13:33] <elky> flaw-, nvidia-settings i believe is the right way to configure stuff for nvidia cards
[13:33] <flaw-> elky:  but i cant change my resolution i have only 1024x768 at 60 hz
[13:33] <NurseDad> thank you
[13:33] <flaw-> 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.
[13:33] <krababbel> A pulse audio wizard would do it justice, the default settings are fairly low quality
[13:34] <elky> flaw-, did you do that?
[13:34] <flaw-> and when i type nvidia-xconfig in the terminal
[13:34] <flaw-> nvidia-xconfig: command not found
[13:34] <psih0man> hello people! I'm running ubuntu inside qemu and since it thinks i'm using a touchscreen my mouse pointer is hidden. how do I unhide it? otherwise, pressing CTRL I can see my mouse's position
[13:35] <krababbel> flaw-: looks like you don't have the nvidia drivers installed then
[13:37] <NurseDad> drostie thank you
[13:37] <flaw-> krababbel: i installed Expremimental 3d support for Nvidia drivers , Nvidia accelerated graphic drivers (ver 173) and (version current (recommended)) from the Aditional Drivers
[13:37] <drostie> NurseDad: sure thing.
[13:37] <ksian1> _
[13:39] <cristian_c> an other question:
[13:39] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:39] <cristian_c> How can I activate pinch gesture on my touchpad in ubuntu?
[13:40] <rax-> I'm running an ubuntu server for xbmc and it works mostly fine until I turn the tv off (only display and sending audio via ati 5450), then the HMDI option disappears from sound properties...
[13:41] <krababbel> flaw-: does 'sudo modprobe -l |grep nvidia' give you something? Do you have nvidia in /usr/lib32/ ?
[13:42] <krababbel> flaw-: vers 173 should be old? did you uninstall that first?
[13:43] <Guest95536> hello
[13:43] <flaw-> krababbel:  give me this: kernel/drivers/video/backlight/mbp_nvidia_bl.ko | kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
[13:43] <Chuck_Norris> i think flaw- isn't using ubuntu 12.04 =P
[13:44] <sytu> Hi peeps! Anyone know a good guide on installing keepass classic on ubuntu 12.04?
[13:44] <flaw-> krababbel:  also i have only these version
[13:44] <Chuck_Norris> what's ubuntu version are you using flaw- ?
[13:44] <flaw-> Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-15-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 16:04:29 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[13:44] <krababbel> flaw-: I have this too 'updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko', sorry, new to this
[13:44] <flaw-> 12.04 LTS desktop
[13:44] <Fat-Thing> what is nacl_helper? i got it on my process and it seems i can't kill it :(
[13:44] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: it seems tobe ubuntu 10.04
[13:45] <kazuky> #join jeuxlinux
[13:45] <Fat-Thing> what's the command to kill a process?
[13:45] <elky> flaw-, how on earth did you get a 2.6 kernel on a release that has a 3.1? kernel?
[13:45] <krababbel> a spy
[13:46] <elky> 3.0 actually, sorry
[13:46] <flaw-> i just downloaded it from internet ;s and i booted to instal from Windows installer
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> what's ubuntu 12.04 running 2.6.38? why?
[13:46] <elky> flaw-, what link did you get it from?
[13:46] <flaw-> im really new to linux
[13:46] <elky> Chuck_Norris, 3.0 actually
[13:46] <krababbel> flaw-: maybe try booting from usb or disc
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> ye
[13:46] <Chuck_Norris> i know
[13:47] <flaw-> learnfree.eu is the site it's YCY ubuntu
[13:48] <elky> flaw-, i assume you've only _just_ installed it before coming here? you might want to instead go to ubuntu.com and download from there.
[13:49] <elky> we don't support UCU or YCY or whatever it's called
[13:49] <flaw-> there's a 3 versions desktop notebook and mini i downloaded usu-7.0-desktop-i386.iso
[13:49] <elky> that's not Ubuntu. We only support Ubuntu.
[13:49] <flaw-> elky:  i tried from ubuntu.com first but when try to install i have an error
[13:49] <Chuck_Norris> flaw-: if you download ubuntu from it's home page you will have 3.0 kernel and 295.40 driver version from "Additional Drivers"
[13:49] <flaw-> that's why i downloaded it from this site
[13:50] <elky> flaw-, we can't support something we didn't make.
[13:50] <Fat-Thing> huhuhuhu nobody cares :(
[13:50] <flaw-> i didnt think about that ;-)
[13:50] <flaw-> sry then and thanks for the help
[13:51] <zeus> hello
[13:51] <Chuck_Norris> you will get* =P
[13:52] <krababbel> Jazanyc: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-February/008800.html They seem to have an option for passthrough,  there is #pulse channel also and a wiki
[13:56] <Jazanyc> krababbel: thanks, no luck with first link.
[13:56] <Chuck_Norris> cya all
[13:57] <krababbel> Jazanyc: don't forget to logout for the local defaults to apply, maybe even reboot :)
[13:57] <krababbel> Jazanyc: you can also restart the daemon maybe, not sure how ubuntu does that
[13:58] <Jazanyc> I tried the code but had no luck. received an error after the make dir code
[14:01] <Jazanyc> krababbel: not to proficient in ubuntu or linux for that matter, trying to switch from windows but having issues. windows is definitely more user friendly
[14:01] <krababbel> Jazanyc: make dir? you mean in the ubuntu forum thread? the third post could work, but look at the wiki or ask in their channel. There are also terminal commands pacmd and paplay, which may help.
[14:03] <salsa> anybody can help me? I buy a new computer core i7 with 16gb .. but every time I try to install i got errors on installation... im try 32bits and 64bits... but is the same thing every time.... :/
[14:03] <krababbel> Jazanyc: it is, I scratched my head when pulse was about to be ready, but still not default. now in ubuntu at least it should be installed correctly, you just need to change the default ouptut settings. Also maybe the video player could be a problem. Never used passthrough, but multichannel analog.
[14:04] <zykotic10> Jazanyc: "unix is user friendly, it's just picky about who it's friends are" ;)
[14:04] <krababbel> indeed
[14:05] <krababbel> Jazanyc: the audio hardware should be compatible too
[14:05] <Jazanyc> yeah, your right.  I guess i'm not one of the ones it finds friendly.  Have had many issues and that is why I have not completely transition from windows
[14:05] <krababbel> Jazanyc: if paplay can play it back, then you know it should work according to pulseaudio
[14:07] <krababbel> if it works, you can at least even change the resampler method, windows drivers usually don't let you go that far :)
[14:07] <Jazanyc> krababel: I use VLC to play movies and it has sound, it just does not have multi channel in passthrough.
[14:07] <krababbel> Jazanyc: well paplay would rule out any bugs in playback programs, better go step by step to save you time
[14:08] <Jazanyc> it does not recognize Ac-3 or DTS
[14:08] <Jazanyc> what is paplay?
[14:08] <krababbel> paplay in terminal is a small player
[14:09] <krababbel> made by the pulse team, it should support all pulse can do.
[14:09] <Jazanyc> so i should be able to install it?
[14:09] <krababbel> Jazanyc: you have it, it comes with pulse, best used for testing like this
[14:10] <krababbel> also pacmd, can show you what hardware it recognized
[14:11] <The_BROS> How to make english language by default language when I search files and programmes in Dash?
[14:11] <krababbel> Jazanyc: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Passthrough
[14:12] <Jazanyc> krababbel: thanks I'll try that link
[14:12] <Jutsu> hi everybody, i'm searching for my mouse config file, i'v kub12.04 and i don't find anything on my xorg.conf.d directory,  somebody can help me ?
[14:13] <Jazanyc> krababbel: not sure what happened but I think I removed pulse when I tried that first link you send me
[14:14] <Sidewinder> !details | salsa
[14:14] <krababbel> Jazanyc: well revert that and reboot, pulse isn't the problem probably and ubuntu is meant to use pulse
[14:15] <Jazanyc> Krababbel: I use this command sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove
[14:15] <Jazanyc> how do is revert?
[14:16] <krababbel> sorry, I don't know
[14:16] <Jazanyc> that sucks
[14:17] <krababbel> the one that suggested that didn't know about changing the output settings
[14:17] <zykotic10> Jazanyc: that stops pluseaudio from starting at boot - "sudo update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults" might add it back
[14:18] <bs0d> Hello everybody
[14:18] <pawdro> hi, anyone using sublime text 2 for coding purposes ? i've got error: errno2 no such file or directory (i.e. after building ruby file). Anyone met such error ?
[14:19] <bs0d> Where can I get information about what features Gajim was built with?
[14:19] <Kenshizl> Anyoe: My log files are doing the same thing they did last night. I may just need to delete them every day or once in a while.
[14:19] <Kenshizl> I meant "Anyone"
[14:19] <bs0d> I have installed it from software manager, but some menu items, like "Discover Services" are grayed and not working .. I wonder if I am missing some plugins or modules for gajim?
[14:20] <Jazanyc> zykotic10: gave an erroe that states "runlevel arguments do not match
[14:20] <Jazanyc> it also states that pulseaudio already exists
[14:21] <escott> Kenshizl, what is the output of dmesg
[14:21] <zykotic10> Jazanyc: sorry i don't know then.  (side not: update-rc.d is outdated in ubuntu, i doubt it should be used).  Perhaps your original command didn't do anything?  i'd restart, and verify pulse is ok - before worrying about it then.
[14:21] <Kenshizl> escott: My log files are doing that thing again. Both are about 3GB now.
[14:21] <Kenshizl> Oh, Sorry. I'll see right now.
[14:21] <escott> Kenshizl, you should be seeing a whole bunch of repeated lines (hundreds of thousands of them, maybe you picked the wrong one last time
[14:21] <gaelfx> can anyone recommend a 300mbps combo wifi B3.0 card that plays well in Precise?
[14:21] <qawsedrf> how can i know what version of a software would apt-get instal ?
[14:22] <Jazanyc> thanks i'll re-start and see if anything happen
[14:22] <zykotic10> qawsedrf: "apt-cache policy foo" is one way
[14:22] <Kenshizl> escott:[ 5144.948864] [drm:intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* Prepared flip multiple time
[14:22] <emorris> Hi, I need to do some stuff with the 12.04 alternate CD, but after the boot menu, when it gets to the default language selection, my USB keyboard stops working - I can't even toggle caps lock etc. It works fine in BIOS, grub, the CD boot menu and other OSs. Any ideas?
[14:22] <Kenshizl> I can't believe we're doing this again.
[14:23] <MrYogi> one more time
[14:23] <rabbi1> just installed rhythmbox, hearing songs as if in a big auditorium, am i missing any codec  ?
[14:23] <MMan> Hello all, i just try toupgrade on-line from 11.10 to 12.04. The laptop closed from battery power line fail and when i restarted got 16 colours and no icons. Anyone can help?
[14:23] <qawsedrf> thanks zykotic10
[14:24] <escott> Kenshizl, is that repeated all the time? I assumed when you mentioned the ethernet usb messages it was because you saw a lot of those lines. are you seeing the intel drm line hundreds of thousands of times?
[14:24] <rabbi1> guess, i am missing a mp3 codec, any suggestion ?
[14:24] <Daemon70> Ahoj všem ubuntákům
[14:24] <zykotic10> rabbi1: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?  (i believe it has mp3 codec)
[14:24] <gaelfx> MMan: 1. Never run an update without power connected, 2. you probably need to reinstall. Fresh is best
[14:25] <Kenshizl> escott: Yeah. I typed "dmesg" in the terminal and that's what came up.
[14:25] <gaelfx> Daemon70: what language?
[14:25] <Kenshizl> escott: Maybe I should just delete the log files every day.
[14:25] <Daemon70> Czech
[14:25] <escott> Kenshizl, run this command "dmesg | grep intel_prepare_page_flip | wc "
[14:25] <rabbi1> zykotic10: nope, sudo apt-get install u-r-e ?
[14:25] <zykotic10> rabbi1: should be
[14:26] <zykotic10> !info ubuntu-restriected-extras
[14:26] <gaelfx> !cz > Daemon70
[14:26] <rabbi1> zykotic10: thx, will try
[14:26] <zykotic10> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:26] <gaelfx> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:27] <Kenshizl> escott: okay, I did and this came out underneath my command:      1542   12336  126444
[14:27] <escott> ok so that line appears 1542 times what is dmesg | wc
[14:27] <mafiaboy> hi guys .....can u help me install libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0
[14:28] <salsa> Sidewinder, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS error msg: grob-install drummy failed
[14:28] <Kenshizl> brb
[14:28] <gaelfx> can anyone recommend a 300mbps combo wifi B3.0 card that plays well in Precise?
[14:28] <gaelfx> er, for a laptop :D
[14:28] <zykotic10> salsa: grob-install?  typo?
[14:29] <salsa> grub
[14:29] <gaelfx> zykotic10: I believe he means the the dummy run of grub-install failed on installation
[14:29] <salsa> yeah
[14:29] <furycd001> hi does anyone here know how i can switch the logon manager in ubuntu 11.10 :?
[14:29] <gaelfx> salsa: you're trying to install from USB or CDrom?
[14:29] <zykotic10> gaelfx: just making sure the typo was in irc and not terminal ;)
[14:30] <salsa> USB
[14:30] <Sidewinder> salsa, I've nerer heard of "grob-install", nor do I have a cleu about "drummy failed", sorry.. Did you md5sum the ISO prior to burning to CD or copying to USB?
[14:30] <gaelfx> salsa: when you entered the boot selector, there were probably two options for the USB, one is "usbname" and the other was "UEFI:usbname". You need to choose the first
[14:31] <zykotic10> warning gaelfx: salsa chrooting and installing grub from USB MIGHT be an issue with sda being usb and not HD!
[14:31] <llutz> furycd001: switch to what?
[14:31] <salsa> gaelfx, ok... let me try it
[14:31] <furycd001> llutz: gdm instead of lightdm :?
[14:31] <gaelfx> whoa, I should've looked at more of that conversation
[14:31] <Kenshizl> escott: I'm back
[14:31] <llutz> furycd001: sudo apt-get install gdm
[14:32] <llutz> furycd001: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm            if it is already installed
[14:32] <escott> Kenshizl, assuming it is the intel_drm line that is repeating there are a few kernel boot options you could try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/765813 you could also modify /etc/rsyslog.d or /etc/logrotate.d
[14:32] <furycd001> lluts i already have both lightdm & gdm installed already, how do i switch between them :?
[14:32] <gaelfx> zykotic10: good point, but I had the same problem when I was installing, it turns out I was an idiot about choosing the right thing to boot from
[14:33] <Kenshizl> escott how do I do those other things (i'll check out the link right now)
[14:33] <furycd001> llutz: i have already tried using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" but the logon screen still looks the same :?
[14:33] <gaelfx> salsa: also, you want to make sure that the bootloader is installed on your hard drive, and not on the USB
[14:34] <llutz> furycd001: did you chose it as default dm? sudo service lightdm stop && sudo service gdm start
[14:34] <salsa> gaelfx, yeah... im trying to install again... i dont know if have any problem to use in i7 core with 16gb ram computers
[14:34] <DropsOfSerenity> does anyone know a way to restart unity if the window decorations crash, alt-f2 won't work, just need to type unity --replace somewhere.
[14:35] <salsa> but im trying to install again like u say :)
[14:35] <furycd001> llutz: nope but ill go thry that now ;-))
[14:35] <gaelfx> salsa: shouldn't be a problem, as long as you're using the 64-bit version
[14:35] <salsa> yeah
[14:35] <gaelfx> salsa: or the 32-bit PAE kernel
[14:36] <salsa> im use 64 bit.... :)
[14:36] <salsa> what is 23 bit PAE kernel?
[14:36] <escott> Kenshizl, so logrotate doesn't stop the creation of the logfile, but it controls how frequently they are replaced with new ones. since you have repeated lines yours will compress really well so if you modify /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog you can set the frequency of the rotations of kern.log and syslog to hourly, and enable compression.
[14:36] <furycd001> llutz I just ran that command but got the following in return... stop: Unknown instance:
[14:36] <gaelfx> DropsOfSerenity: how about ctl+alt+f2?
[14:36] <zykotic10> !pae | salsa
[14:36] <gaelfx> zykotic10: thanks :D
[14:36] <salsa> ty :)
[14:36] <zykotic10> salsa: PAE is a "hack" - 64 is much better
[14:37] <gaelfx> but "hacks" are "cooler"
[14:37] <mafiaboy> there's a bug i think whenever i close my laptop's lid the........screen goes blank......and does not returns (atleast 70%)
[14:37] <zykotic10> salsa: i shouldn't say "much better" - but if you've got 4+GB RAM, 64bit is a bit better
[14:37] <Kenshizl> escott: I checked out the link, but I don't know what to do (just to let you know, I'm new to linux and not exactly as computer savvy as everyone else here). And how do you do the steps you just explained?
[14:38] <salsa> no i got errors again :/
[14:38] <escott> Kenshizl, run gksudo /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
[14:38] <DropsOfSerenity> gaelfx, of course i'm wondering if theres a better more streamlined way, sometimes the unity decorators crash when exiting a fullscreen game or something, was hoping unity had some sort of way of detecting that.
[14:38] <escott> Kenshizl, run gksudo gedit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog [sorry]
[14:38] <salsa> package: ubiquity :/
[14:38] <willem> \quit
[14:39] <gaelfx> DropsOfSerenity: it should, but it also depends on the game sending the proper signals and whatnot
[14:39] <gaelfx> good night, #ubuntu
[14:40] <Kenshizl> escott: okay, I did and it just maved to the next line.
[14:41] <escott> Kenshizl, i was hoping to pm you so I can walk you through the file. don't know if you saw the pm?
[14:42] <Icehawk78> Am I likely to have issues with a (mostly) headless server running off of a USB wifi adapter?
[14:42] <Kenshizl> escott: I don't know what a "pm" is (i'm really new to irc chat)
[14:42] <escott> ok
[14:42] <Icehawk78> Rather than, say, a PCI adapter
[14:42] <escott> Kenshizl, the top of that file says /var/log/syslog and then a { and some text } the stuff inside the { } are the rules for /var/log/syslog
[14:43] <zykotic10> Icehawk78: server + USB-wireless = good luck
[14:43] <escott> Kenshizl, rotate 7 means "keep the last 7 copies" daily means "replace with a new file daily" "delaycompress" means delay compression until a better time, and "compress" means compress the file.
[14:44] <Kenshizl> escott: Am I looking in terminal? If so it just shows a command line underneathe the line you told me to type.
[14:44] <escott> Kenshizl, for the syslog file you would want to change that to hourly, and remove the delaycompress
[14:44] <Icehawk78> zykotic10: That was sort of my thinking. However, I'm more curious as to whether or not PCI-wireless will actually be significantly better or not?
[14:44] <escott> Kenshizl, did you run "gksudo gedit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog"
[14:44] <Kenshizl> escott: yes
[14:45] <escott> Kenshizl, it didn't pop up a text editor window? are you not in the gui?
[14:45] <Icehawk78> (The location it's in, wireless is needed, so ethernet is unfortunately out of the question)
[14:45] <zykotic10> Icehawk78: perhaps "server + wireless = good luck" would have been more accurate.  i doubt there is a HUGE difference between USB and PCI - depends on chips/drivers more then anything probably.
[14:45] <Kenshizl> escott: nothing popped up except it asking for my password.
[14:46] <escott> Kenshizl, give it
[14:46] <Kenshizl> escott: give it?
[14:46] <Icehawk78> zykotic10: Hah, okay. That's what I was thinking, I'm looking over verious cards right now to see which (if any) have non-terrible Linux support.
[14:46] <escott> Kenshizl, you need to provide your password to be able to modify this file. the popup needs your password
[14:46] <Resistance> Icehawk78:  the differences will be insignificant, the only difference is whether drivers exist for each device.  having said this i agree with zykotic10, wireless + server is not a good combo in a production environment
[14:47] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:47] <Kenshizl> escott: I did before, but nothing happened.
[14:47] <escott> Kenshizl, does "gedit" without anything before or after open up a text editor window?
[14:48] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:48] <kaziweb> hi, can any one help me on translation with bazaar?
[14:48] <wylde> !patience | kaziweb
[14:49] <Kenshizl> escott: nothing pops up. terminal stays open, Xchat stays open, everythings normal. I even did it again, and still nothing popped open. If you mean the txt-editor is in the terminal, then nothing happened there either.
[14:49] <Icehawk78> Resistance: Makes sense. Luckily, it's not "production" it's just my home server/media center, so while a little bit of jury-rigging is okay, I'm trying to minimize it as much as possible.
[14:49] <cihan> selam
[14:49] <Kenshizl> escott: maybe I don't have gedit
[14:49] <Guest48265> türkiyeden kimse var mı
[14:49] <escott> Kenshizl, ok. is this a standard ubuntu install or something else like kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu
[14:49] <wylde> kaziweb: it would help if you provided more detail about your issue
[14:50] <escott> Kenshizl, if you are comfortable using something like vi you could sudo vi /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog but you would only want to do that if you know vi
[14:50] <Kenshizl> escott: I thought you knew from our previous chat last night that I had xubuntu?
[14:50] <Kenshizl> escott: what's vi?
[14:51] <zykotic10> Kenshizl: does "leafpad" open an editor?
[14:51] <escott> Kenshizl, didn't remember that. then gksudo YOURFAVORITEEDITOR /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
[14:51] <sobczyk> hi, is there possibility to tune to a more aggresive power mode for radeon driver? I've tried echo "mid" > power_profile but it turned my screen grey and the latpop was unusable
[14:51] <yellabs-r2> hi there
[14:51] <christoph_> hi all
[14:51] <yellabs-r2> i am trying to make an usb startup disk, with 12.04 but it does not work , whats the problem
[14:51] <Kenshizl> escott: There we go! I opened it in leafpad
[14:52] <andybrine> afternoon everyon
[14:52] <escott> Kenshizl, so you see the top of that file lists /var/log/syslog and then between the braces are the rules for that file
[14:52] <Kenshizl> escott: yup
[14:52] <andybrine> Just out of interest, I have installed compiz on 12.04 and now and now want to disable it. How can we do that?
[14:52] <kaziweb> wylde: Hi I'm trying to translate ubuntu community accomplishments, but I don't see any save button there. for this reason I installed bazaar. I downloaded tar ball. I don't know how to use that or to you bazaar for translation.
[14:53] <zykotic10> andybrine: if you use Unity3D - it's a compiz plugin... just sayin'
[14:53] <escott> Kenshizl, I would change that to "hourly" and remove the "delaycompress" that way /var/log/syslog is rotated every hour and compressed immediately. you also want to apply that same rule for kern.log so go find kern.log a little further down the file and copy and paste it directly below syslog (but before the braces)
[14:54] <andybrine> ok, well I dont want to use all of the features. Compiz was not install by default
[14:54] <wylde> kaziweb: link please? Was there a tutorial or somesuch you were following?
[14:55] <Fat-Thing> what's the command to kill a process?
[14:55] <escott> Kenshizl, im assuming that logrotate supports an hourly rotation schedule. which might not be valid
[14:55] <wylde> kaziweb: you may also find translation help in #ubuntu-translators
[14:55] <zykotic10> Fat-Thing: "kill #PID" or "killall PROCESSNAME"
[14:56] <kaziweb> wylde: I've gone through their wiki. But there is a bug. there is no save button in template. I cannot save what I translate.
[14:56] <Kenshizl> escott: I changed the syslog one, so now I go down to kern.log and copy and paste the exact same thing from syslog to kern.log?
[14:56] <escott> Kenshizl, or you can just move kern.log line up to apply the same rules to kern.log as to syslog
[14:57] <escott> Kenshizl, note how all the other files currently use the same set of rules
[14:57] <Kenshizl> escott: how do I do that? and if I do, wouldn't it make it do more things than the kern/log file is now?
[14:57] <wylde> kaziweb: link to the wiki please?
[14:57] <kaziweb> wylde: I tried to communicate with #ubuntu-accomplishments but no one answering.
[14:58] <wylde> kaziweb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation <---- is that what you followed?
[14:59] <Kenshizl> escott: how do I move the kern.log string up? do I just put it right next to the syslog string but with a space dividing it?
[15:00] <escott> Kenshizl, look at the bottom of that file. see how all the other files have the same set of rules. there are multiple files listed but only one set of rules at the end
[15:00] <s904s> hello somebody
[15:00] <s904s> can help me to know how flip flop
[15:00] <s904s> stores bit?
[15:01] <krinetic> Hello! I'm having problems with lightdm. After adding allow-guest=false, I still get the guest session login.
[15:01] <Kenshizl> escott: so I cut the kern.log out and paste it UNDERNEATH the syslog one?
[15:01] <ikonia> [6~/window 14
[15:01] <ikonia> oops
[15:01] <escott> Kenshizl, or above
[15:01] <Kenshizl> escott: okay
[15:01] <escott> Kenshizl, just so that both have the same set of rules
[15:02] <wylde> kaziweb: you may also be interested in https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise  , beyond that I'm not sure what else to tell you other than try the translators irc channel or mailing list.
[15:02] <kaziweb> wylde: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-community-accomplishments/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-community-accomplishments/bn/+translate?show=untranslated <---- I'm trying here. Please see there is no save button. I don't know other ways to translate. Please help me with step by step solution.
[15:02] <Kenshizl> escott: I did it!
[15:02] <escott> Kenshizl, there is also a size argument that might be helpful. where you can specify "size 100k" and then it should rotate when the files are 100kilobytes
[15:03] <Kenshizl> escott: I don't see a size argument.
[15:03] <escott> Kenshizl, you could add it. but its not necessary. im not clear what real benefit it would offer here
[15:03] <zykotic10> escott: while increasing the log rotation may solve the issue in the short-term, do you know what is actually filling the logs?  (not that I have any better solution then yours ;)
[15:04] <escott> zykotic10, intel drm module
[15:04] <wylde> kaziweb: at the bottom of the page on the far right side is a button "Save & Continue"
[15:04] <Kenshizl> escott: won't I still have to delete both files every once in a while, since they just get bigger and bigger (even though they are compressed)?
