[15:06] <WeThePeople> how would i find a file with the work book in it even if the file were named bookmarks or bookmark or books using the find command?
[15:06] <theadmin> nina666: Hm... Odd. Then again I'm not too sure.
[15:07] <nina666> for i in $(cat your_file) ; do xdg-open $i ; done >>> i think somehow this loop exits after carrier return in the file
[15:10] <nina666> does anyone else has any idea? how to open a list of URLs from a text file from command line in browser? this command only reads the first line: for i in $(cat your_file) ; do xdg-open $i ; done
[15:10] <nina666> anything I need to add to this command?
[15:12] <feodor> hi, I have ubuntu 12.04. I'm connected to the internet via wifi and on the local network there's a windows server that I need to access sometimes to view some materials for studying and etc, but samba loads the server extremely slowly or doesn't load it at all  after I've accessed it a few times (it just hangs on "loading...")

[15:18] <reuf> the text expands too much on icons - how to limit the size of text displayed o icons on desktop?
[15:18] <ikonia> bloodlife how can you plan to write a project on how to detect it if you don't even know how to configure it
[15:18] <L3top> nina666: I would use a while read instead of a for loop.

[15:20] <ikonia> bloodlife: use the honeypot support resources then, forum, irc channel, mailing lists etc
[15:21] <ikonia> fred_1: depends on the pastebin you use, they normally document their policy

These don't seem to work in the "LiveCD"/Installer for Ubuntu. Anyonce have any idea how I could get them to work so I can install ubuntu?
[15:27] <nina666> L3top, thanks, but the funny thing is firefox opens only one at a time. meaning it opens the first one, then when I close it, it opens the second one. I need to open them all in once...
[15:28] <ikonia> vickytomar__: I don't see that as a massive problem

[15:31] <vickytomar__> ikonia : so you don't know how to do it ... :(

[15:37] <OerHeks> RyanNielson, good question, no solution AFAIK, use a wired keyboard to install.
[15:37] <gaetano> anyone knows how can i get to ubuntustudio chat???

[15:38] <gaetano> thanx
[15:38] <RyanNielson> OerHeks: Oh, that's annoying. I don't have a wired keyboard on hand. Sucks, because it works fine in my UEFI bios and during the Windows 8 and Windows 7 install.
[15:38] <L3top> nina666: 2 lines. firefox &   and then the line I gave you earlier. If firefox is already opened it opens them all.
[15:39] <L3top> & backgrounds the process (in this case starting firefox)
[15:39] <L3top> Might need to sleep a coulpe of seconds for firefox to be up.

Retrying did not help so I hit cancel, now I've mounted the partition in case and checked some files and see that they are all right. Should I assume that everything is ok?
[15:41] <nina666> L3top, ok let me try
[15:41] <djskidd_> Somebody help
[15:41] <zoopp> Can someone please answer?

[15:43] <allo_> how can i install kubuntu-desktop additional without changing a lot of branding (like name in grub, splash, lightdm theme)
[15:43] <allo_> or is there some list of all relevant branding options, which need to be changed back?
[15:43] <L3top> It could be that the disk has bad sectors. Is this a boot partition you are making?
[15:44] <L3top> zoopp: ^
[15:44] <seednode_> allo_: Assuming you already have a DE installed, you should be able to install it without anything changing.
[15:44] <zoopp> No, I tried to move a partition group not make another partition.

[15:44] <mrojas6996> hello!
[15:45] <Ampersand> I have a question: I have just upgraded from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client. The problem is that when I receive a new message, the icon doesn't turn blue anymore. A notification is however displayed, but I might miss it. I was wondering if there's anything that could be done about this? (in 12.04 I didn't have this problem, it worked well)
[15:46] <allo_> seednode_: i made a fresh installation on the pc. the last installation was ubuntu classic and when i installed kubuntu-desktop there, it changed the bootsplash for example
[15:46] <allo_> seednode_: thats what i want to avoid, because i do not want to confuse the users
[15:46] <djskidd_> Somebody please help me, I need a firmware for my wireless card
[15:46] <bashiebarsh> What is the card?
[15:46] <L3top> zoopp: unmount it and run fsck on it
[15:47] <mrojas6996> I have a question, Do the graphical interface X.org is the same that in the 70's was used in UNIX Systems?
[15:47] <djskidd_> I don't know, how can I find it?
[15:47] <allo_> djskidd_: what kind of card?
[15:47] <bashiebarsh> Lspci
[15:47] <zoopp> L3top: on it
[15:47] <allo_> http://linuxwireless.org/
[15:47] <allo_> is a good resource
[15:47] <erik__> Ampersand: Is your Thunderbird window opened or minimized?
[15:47] <allo_> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
[15:48] <L3top> mrojas6996: at its core yes.
[15:48] <djskidd_> Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11bg Wireless Network Controller (rev 02)
[15:48] <Ampersand> erik__, it is opened, but minimized
[15:48] <OerHeks> !bcm
[15:48] <seednode_> allo_: Which DE are you using right now?
[15:48] <allo_> OerHeks: not b43?
[15:48] <allo_> seednode_: unity, as its a fresh ubuntu quantal install
[15:48] <wab7060> anyone can help me with the "network is unreachable" error, please?
[15:48] <erik__> hmm nvm then. Thought it might have something to do with it being not minimized
[15:49] <OerHeks> djskidd_, open terminal:  sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer   ( and reoot)
[15:49] <erik__> my icon stopped turning blue also
[15:49] <erik__> it worked before today
[15:49] <allo_> seednode_: or the other way round ... my profile is kde, and i want kde again, but without changing anything for the other users
[15:49] <Ampersand> there's no problem with the other programs (empathy, xchat, ...), just Thunderbird
[15:49] <erik__> running 12.04
[15:49] <seednode_> Well, I've never noticed the splash screen change when adding a second DE... Anyone else have experience with this?
[15:49] <mrojas6996> L3top, Ok! thanX for answer me!
[15:50] <djskidd_> OerHerks: there's no internet connection to the computer.
[15:50] <erik__> yeah, I'm wondering why mine stopped working now. lol
[15:50] <allo_> to fix the splash is not that hard, but i think there is more stuff which gets changed, for example i do not know where grub detects if a kernel should be called ubuntu or kubuntu
[15:50] <allo_> splash is an alternative
[15:50] <OerHeks> djskidd_, you need internet to install those packages, else you can try apt-on-cd
[15:50] <allo_> lightdm theme will be to, i guess
[15:50] <OerHeks> !offline
[15:51] <Ampersand> ah, i see! :) anyway, i tried removing the accounts and adding them again, then I disapbled the Messaging Menu Integration plugin and enabling it again.. nothing seemed to work
[15:51] <allo_> meh, i just install and see it myself.
[15:51] <allo_> hoping for the best
[15:52] <Ampersand> but yours doesn't work for any prgram, or just Thunderbird also?
[15:53] <SouravAJ> try to reinstall the thunderbird

[15:54] <Ampersand> but could anyone confirm that the icon works indeed for Thunderbird in 12.10? If yes, then I'll uninstall and install again Thunderbird
[15:54] <L3top> vickytomar__: generate an xorg.conf if you do not already have one, in /etc/X11/  and specify vesa under Driver
[15:54] <Ampersand> otherwise, I wouldn't do that, TBH.. :)
[15:54] <SouravAJ> @vicky: y dont u google it if anyone know  answer of ur question thy will definately reply patience in imp
[15:55] <vickytomar__> L3top : but i don't know how to generate xrog.conf
[15:55] <Ampersand> erik__, , could be... anyway, it's good to know that I'm not alone on this one. I loved this feature of Ubuntu :)
[15:55] <L3top> vickytomar__: stop X, and type Xorg -configure and it will dump it in your ~ folder
[15:55] <mrojas6996> which means that then ubuntu used the same server X.org that unix used in the 70's, Cool!

[16:19] <L3top> vickytomar__:  you have to issue the commands I gave you the way I gave them... the order on matters because you will be changing the path of the file you are editing... You are making this way too complicated.
[16:20] <xangua> phil__: you would need to install evolution and add calendars to ir
[16:20] <xangua> to it*
[16:20] <jakubo> hi is it possible to use the grub version from 12.04 in 12.10?
[16:20] <BluesKaj> jakubo, why ?
[16:20] <phil__> xangua: what is ir?
[16:21] <jakubo> cause i got a raid which worked in 12.04 and does not in 12.10
[16:21] <jakubo> the device mapper doesnt recognise the fakeraid anymore
[16:21] <danslo> does using WUBI come with significant performance cost? I am assuming it works with a virtual disk on your existing NTFS drive?
[16:22] <BluesKaj> have you run sudo updtae-grub since upgrading to 12.10, jakubo ?
[16:22] <Bugari> Hello, does anybody knows how to add resolutions to screen, other than 800x600 -- the only I have right now? :P
[16:22] <xangua> danslo: using wubi is more to use for test that a daily use, i recomend you to make a reall install if what you desire is the latest
[16:22] <BluesKaj> er update-grub
[16:22] <jakubo> it doesnt even install well
[16:22] <jakubo> it says its not possible to write grub to the device
[16:23] <cfhowlett> danslo: wubi will run slower than native install.  Also, it is subject to fragmentation as it exists in a windows file.   That said, wubi is a TESTING platform - so sayeth the developers.
[16:23] <jakubo> the device mapper only sees the 2 HDs but not the raid array as such
[16:23] <michele> ubuntu italia?
[16:24] <xangua> !it | michele
[16:24] <L3top> !it | michele
[16:24] <michele> thank you
[16:25] <Bugari> Does anybody knows how to add resolutions to screen, other than 800x600 -- the only I have right now? :P
[16:25] <wab> anyone can help with a vm running ubuntu please?
[16:25] <BluesKaj> ok jakubo , do you have a live -cd or live-usb that you can use to run a terminal on and install grub to the device
[16:25] <jakubo> you mean to chroot in ?
[16:25] <jakubo> i do
[16:26] <Matriks404> hi I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and if I start computer the grub2 bootloader dont showing, just only after some seconds Ubuntu load, does its good? I previously use Ubuntu 12.04 dualboot with Windows XP Home and then it showed boot options, but now theres not.
[16:26] <compdoc> why is it that root cannot browse the the network using Nautilus, but I can?
[16:26] <jakubo> i have tried to reinstall and to reconfigure with dpkg-reconfigure, but it just refuses to see the array, only the partitions
[16:27] <jrib> compdoc: 1) does root have permission?  2) why are you even doing this?
[16:27] <Griffin40> wab, What is the matter
[16:27] <cfhowlett> Matriks404: grub will show if there's more than one OS or kernel.  Otherwise this is normal behavior
[16:27] <root> f
[16:27] <Matriks404> cfhowlett: ok, thanks.
[16:28] <BluesKaj> No, jakubo not chroot in , just open a terminal on the live cd and do , sudo grub-install /dev/sdX where X is the letter assigned to that partition.
[16:28] <adamsobotka> hello,please,when a start some game,game startup and make a black screen and after few seconds shut down.. please help how to fix this :/
[16:28] <compdoc> jrib, I want to run Backup in Time (root) so I can backup a server. Im going to shut the server down and rebuild it, so I need to backup areas only root can access
[16:29] <jrib> compdoc: I'm not familiar with Backup in Time, but why is nautilus involved?
[16:29] <jakubo> the device you mean
[16:29] <adamsobotka> hello,please,when a start some game,game startup and make a black screen and after few seconds shut down.. please help how to fix this :/
[16:30] <BluesKaj> jakubo, device or partition
[16:30] <slackerboy> anyone know about some cool xfce themes ?
[16:30] <david1234> Hi all. I tried upgrading my Ubuntu 12.04 installation to 12.10, but after a reboot it hangs at the purple screen with the four orange dots, and the latest command is "fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 [newline] /dev/sda1: clean, [a]/[b] files, [c]/[d] blocks" (a-d are long numbers)
[16:31] <BluesKaj> jakubo, some ppl install their OS on / so that where grub has to be installed
[16:31] <Griffin40> Does anyone know how you remove the guest account?
[16:31] <L3top> david1234: is fsck running? It may take some time to complete if so...
[16:32] <jakubo> i thought that grub neets too install into mbr which is on the device outside partitions
[16:32] <jakubo> needs*
[16:32] <DJones> !themes | slackerboy
[16:32] <david1234> L3top: it may be running, not sure how I can tell. Hard drive activity light on server is not flashing, and Ubuntu takes up ~10GB on a 250GB hard drive
[16:32] <david1234> L3top: rest of the hard drive is blank
[16:32] <L3top> david1234: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[16:33] <david1234> L3top: how do I run this command? I don't seem to have a shell prompt to enter commands
[16:34] <Giant81> launch terminal
[16:34] <BluesKaj> jakubo,  for what it's worth the method I described above worked for me when I had to reinstall grub
[16:34] <L3top> david1234: ctrl alt f2
[16:34] <Giant81> nm, I'm not paying attention...lol no disply
[16:35]  * Giant81 goes back to his corner
[16:35] <Bugari> Does anybody knows how to add resolutions to screen, other than 800x600 -- the only I have right now? :P
[16:35] <jakubo> ok i just tried on the device and it said, that the directory /boot/grub will not be readable by grub on startup and therefore aborting+
[16:35] <L3top> Bugari: what mode do you want to add
[16:35] <david1234> L3top: after pressing ctrl alt f2, the fsck lines have disappeared. I now see a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. Still cannot enter any commands.
[16:36] <dd> Bugari, you can manually set your screen res in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[16:36] <L3top> hmmm david1234... something is hung but good
[16:36] <Bugari> dd: sounds awsome, but I have no idea how to do this ;P
[16:36] <L3top> Bugari: what mode do you want to add
[16:36] <WalterN> heh, so... installed 12.10 and everything seems fine when my three displays are mirrored, or two of the three are turned off... but when running two or three screens video is extremely sluggish, and I get this nasty looking error in xorg.0.log   http://pastebin.com/1rxcHM5y
[16:37] <dd> Bugari, pm me with the content of your conf file plz
[16:37] <L3top> Bugari: lspci -nn | grep VGA  while we are at it
[16:37] <Bugari> L3top: something around 1280x1024, or sth... hard to remember the one it was :P
[16:37] <L3top> dd: xorg.conf is depreciated... he probably doesn't have one.
[16:37] <dd> L3top ah ok
[16:37] <david1234> L3top: when I tried booting into recovery mode, I was able to get to a root shell in read-only mode, but when I attempted to mount the partition as read/write fsck automatically ran and hung in the same place.
[16:37] <tyrog> Hello, is there a way to accelerate the unity interface? Even with proprietary graphics drivers it is a bit sluggish when compared to gnome shell
[16:38] <Bugari> L3top: http://bugari.pastebin.pl/67529
[16:38] <L3top> david1234: I would boot to live cd, and run fsck on your / partition
[16:38] <BluesKaj> jakubo, then try this , http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/how-to-install-grub-2-on-a-fake-raid-system.153346/
[16:38] <L3top> Bugari: do you have two of those cards in there?
[16:38] <Bugari> dd: http://bugari.pastebin.pl/67527
[16:38] <david1234> L3top: OK, I'll do that. What is the fsck syntax for that? Assuming the / partition is /dev/sda1
[16:39] <[twisti]> how can i restore a specific config file on ubuntu to its original content ?
[16:39] <L3top> fsck /dev/sda1   ;)
[16:39] <david1234> ok :)
[16:39] <Bugari> L3top: yes, two cards :)
[16:39] <L3top> assuming it is a normal partition... wont work for XFS  etc...
[16:40] <jakubo> thats what i tried first, but the device does not appear in the list. ust the partition
[16:40] <L3top> Bugari: for some reason it is not reading the EDID of your display please pastebin the output of xrandr -q
[16:40] <L3top> Bugari: are you using any kind of adapter/converter? (eg dvi > vga)
[16:40] <Bugari> L3top: um.. RandR extension missing...
[16:41] <yeehi> Hello! Is there a quick and easy way to "get rid of" the Amazon stuff in Quantum Quetzal?
[16:41] <Bugari> L3top: yes, i'm using converter
[16:41] <bazhang> !adlens | yeehi
[16:41] <yeehi> hello bazhang
[16:41] <yeehi> adlens? what is it
[16:41] <L3top> That is probably why this is happening Bugari. Hmmm... RandR extension missing... thats... new.
[16:41] <jakubo> besides it seems that ubuntu12.10 has different names. while 12.04 used nvidiafgggabc or something like this (in /dev/mapper/) 12.10 is going with /dev/dm-0(the device) with dm-1 its firsst partition
[16:42] <Bugari> L3top: what to do with it?
[16:42] <bazhang> unity-lens-shopping  <--- remove that yeehi
[16:42] <flexm> Is there any way to install rootstock in order to make an ubuntu image
[16:42] <yeehi> thank you bazhang - how do I remove unity-lens-shopping?
[16:42] <bazhang> yeehi, the package manager
[16:43] <yeehi> excellent!
[16:43] <yeehi> Thank you :)
[16:43] <yeehi> One more quick question, bazhang:
[16:43] <feodor> hi, I have ubuntu 12.04. I'm connected to the internet via wifi and on the local network there's a windows server that I need to access sometimes to view some materials for studying and etc, but samba loads the server extremely slowly or doesn't load it at all  after I've accessed it a few times (it just hangs on "loading...")
[16:43] <fred_1> Can anyone look at my problem I cant install Programs in Ubuntu. The details are in http://pastebin.com/TaMPdFzx
[16:43] <feodor> but if I access it from windows then it loads everything instantly
[16:43] <wab> anyone can help with a vm running ubuntu please?
[16:43] <flexm> yeehi, you simply run sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[16:43] <yeehi> I want to demo how easy it is to use ubuntu - in this case by installing and setting up skype
[16:43] <feodor> any idea how to fix the slow loading in ubuntu?
[16:43] <bazhang> wab, ask the channel a detailed question
[16:43] <L3top> The converter is preventing your display EDID from being read, so it is just giving you a basic output...  but... can you give me the output of: cvt 1280 1024 60         (assumes your display is at 60 hz)
[16:44] <wab> bazhang i've asked before.. no way to ask this without flood the chan
[16:44] <david1234> L3top: ran fsck from LiveCD. I get the same output as is displayed when attempting to boot, but it looks like the command runs successfully
[16:44] <yeehi> you are ace, flexm -
[16:44] <ikonia> wab: then use a pastebin to put details in
[16:44] <flexm> yeehi, thanks
[16:44] <yeehi> flexm - how do I easily install skype, ideally using clicking...
[16:44] <Bugari> L3top: http://pastebin.com/Dx1hsHjr
[16:45] <ikonia> yeehi: if you are going to demo something - I find it important you actually know yourself how to do it
[16:45] <L3top> david1234: Mount the drive and check /var/log/syslog or dmesg log to try and see what is hanging

[16:45] <ohzie> yeehi: Skype actually has a repository to make installing it even easier
[16:45] <david1234> L3top: OK. What commands should I use to mount the drive?
[16:46] <ohzie> yeehi: but you do have to do things that aren't 100
[16:46] <ikonia> mariusz__: send me a pm when you've stopped flooding the channel
[16:46] <ohzie> % clicking to get it installed.
[16:46] <yeehi> Hi, i think you are right, ikonia :)
[16:46] <yeehi> I am practicing how to do it myself first...
[16:46] <flexm> yeehi, just run sudo apt-get install skype

[16:47] <L3top> if you are in live disk david1234 just open in nautilus... it will mount itself...
[16:47] <jakubo> has to not been said that grub will not support raid arrays doe to this efi BS?
[16:47] <L3top> Bugari: yeah... got a screaming baby gimme a second
[16:47] <L3top> or _dd can give you the config you need with that last output for a modeline.
[16:47] <Bugari> L3top: okay, sure, thanks :)
[16:48] <aafa> what to do in order to dual boot freebsd with ubuntu ?

[16:51] <Bugari> oh that dd ;P lol :P no, dd is gone for a while now
[16:52] <plustax> Question. I have a windows 7 computer with 8 gigs of RAM. I was only using 2.97g however due to my having a 32-bit operating system. I then used WUBI to install ubuntu 12.10 and it seems to be running kinda slowly. It freezes frequently and I have to wait 20-30 seconds for responsiveness. Anyway to fix this, or did I do something incorrectly?
[16:52] <dak0_> Hello is there channel for windows support?
[16:52] <plustax> dak0_, ##windows
[16:53] <aafa> what is the default bootloader in ubuntu?
[16:53] <dak0_> #windows
[16:53] <ikonia> aafa: grub2
[16:53] <dak0_> ##windows
[16:53] <bloom213> plustax: on ubuntu you see your 8gb recognised?
[16:53] <plustax> grub2
[16:53] <plustax> bloom213, I do indeed.
[16:53] <david1234> L3top: in var/log/syslog, there's a line saying "[INFO]: recovery required on readonly filesystem". Nautilus mounts the drive successfully, but the partition is read only.
[16:53] <bloom213> plustax: it shouldn't be slow at all
[16:53] <aafa> ikonia: i mistakely installed grub, will it matter?
[16:54] <plustax> it seems fine now bloom213 but a few minutes ago I would simply navigate through folders and it would freeze.
[16:54] <ikonia> aafa: not really
[16:54] <david1234> L3top: there are also lines saying "write access will be enabled during recovery" and "recovery complete"
[16:54] <plustax> bloom213, perhaps I spoke too soon lol. It's flying now.
[16:54] <aafa> ikonia: how to remove grub? and does it affect grub2?
[16:54] <L3top> david1234: fsck should fix that... I am not quite sure what is going on... gimme a min
[16:54] <bloom213> plustax: ok good thats the way it should be ;)
[16:54] <ikonia> aafa: no, it will just be there in place of grub2, if it's working, leave it alone
[16:54] <plustax> bloom213, I installed gnome 3. Its like I just got a brand new computer. Im in love.
[16:55] <plustax> What desktop environment do you prefer and use?
[16:55] <aafa> ikonia: but i need grub2, to get work GPT scheme
[16:55] <bloom213> plustax: on ubuntu i use gnome, on arch i use fluxbox
[16:55] <ikonia> aafa: shouldn't do
[16:56] <ikonia> aafa: how did you accidentally install grub ?
[16:56] <flexm> aafa: there is no need to remove grub
[16:56] <aafa> ikonia: tell me what to do now, i need grub2 back..sudo apt-get purge grub?
[16:56] <ikonia> aafa: you don't "need" grub2 back
[16:56] <ikonia> aafa: how did you accidentally install grub
[16:56] <aafa> flexm: but it may panic with grub? i don't get it..i need grub2
[16:57] <ikonia> aafa: stop saying "I need grub2"
[16:57] <int19h> why do you need grub2
[16:57] <int19h> is it an EFI only machine ?
[16:57] <bekks> Why not? :)
[16:57] <bekks> It's default on Ubuntu.
[16:57] <Bugari> L3top: don't want to rush you but.. you remember me? :D
[16:57] <flexm> aafa: grub2 isn't necessary to install
[16:57] <aafa> i will boot another OS installed with GPT scheme
[16:57] <ikonia> bekks: apparantly he's accidentally installed grub1
[16:57] <aafa> flexm: now what do i have? grub or grub2?
[16:57] <Evildoer> t
[16:58] <dury> hi there all :-)
[16:58] <flexm> aafa: OK
[16:58] <ikonia> aafa: how did you install grub1 ?
[16:58] <ikonia> aafa: gpt will not cause you a problem
[16:58] <L3top> yes I am building you an xorg.
[16:58] <L3top> gimme a few
[16:58] <dury> great this distro... hurra :-)
[16:58] <dury> very configurable
[16:58] <flexm> dury: Yeah it is great
[16:58] <aafa> ikonia: i think i didnt install, but typed: sudo apt-get install grub, does it install bootloader or ?
[16:59] <ikonia> aafa: that will install the grub package,
[16:59] <ikonia> aafa: this isn't making any sense
[16:59] <flexm> dury: Did you just installed ubuntu
[16:59] <L3top> Bugari: you have 3 monitors?
[16:59] <ikonia> aafa: if grub2 didn't install, you wouldn't have been able to boot your machine, so you couldn't have typed apt-get install grub
[16:59] <L3top> Bugari: one of which is an actual CRT?
[16:59] <aafa> ikonia: ah okk, so that it will be the same grub2
[16:59] <dury> minimalist too If you want
[16:59] <ikonia> aafa: what you are saying makes no sense,
[17:00] <Bugari> L3top: yes, I'll tell you, gimme sec
[17:00] <aafa> ikonia: no i got the sense how grub works
[17:00] <Bugari> L3top: the one described with 'CRT-1'
[17:00] <ikonia> aafa you're not listening to what I'm asking, you're just responding with random words
[17:00] <L3top> I am not doing this if you have an actual CRT attached to this system. A bad modeline can physically damage it.
[17:00] <dury> flexm: well I've been using this distro .... let's say since release 7
[17:00] <flexm> Is there any way to install rootstock
[17:00] <Bugari> L3top: it's not crt, its LCD, it's just recognized this way :P
[17:01] <aafa> ikonia: i get what i need not what you need ;p
[17:01] <flexm> ff
[17:01] <ikonia> aafa: again, you're just saying random words, if you want help, you need to read the question and actually respond with relevant info
[17:01] <aafa> ikonia: eventually im thankfull to you
[17:01] <dury> but the essence it's GNU/linux
[17:01] <L3top> ok Bugari. That was why I asked.
[17:01] <Bugari> L3top: If I see correctly, it's X screen 2, if it makes any diffrence
[17:02] <L3top> Bugari: I know where it is... I am just not trying to deal with an ACTUAL CRT.
[17:02] <aafa> ikonia: i've my own style, but for grub it has always been a disrty bootloader..even after uninstalling ubuntu it still remains there..but it works for linux which is cool
[17:03] <ikonia> aafa if you are not going to answer the questions I'm asking you to try and help you and just keep answering with random noise, please don't bother responding to me again
[17:03] <Bugari> L3top: I'm not saying you can't locate it, i'm just trying to get as much info as possible :P it's not crt, it's lcd, I'm sure of it :D
[17:03] <dury> flexm : rootstock?
[17:04]  * aafa is sure about ikonia rocks! and already got his answers hehe
[17:05] <AlexPortable> Everytime I want to open a file I just downloaded used any browser, I get this message: Kon ‘/home/ubuntu/Downloads/ninite (1).deb’ niet weergeven. De locatie is geen map. (Translated: Could not show /home/ubuntu/Downloads/ninite (1).deb. The location isn't a folder).     The problem is, I understand it isn't a folder, but I want to open the file anyway..
[17:06] <dury> flexm?
[17:06] <L3top> Bugari: backup your current xorg.conf and try this. No promises... I don't deal with xinerama
[17:06] <Bugari> L3top: okay, great :)
[17:07] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: you can't just 'open" a .deb you need to extract it. dpkg-deb -x *.deb /tmp/extract/
[17:07] <david1234> L3top: tried rebooting after running fsck from the LiveCD, still have the same issue. Looks like fsck has finished running (as it took <1 second to run from the LiveCD), but it's still hanging.
[17:07] <AlexPortable> IdleOne: I can when I double click it from nautilus
[17:07] <AlexPortable> Or also applies to .txt files
[17:07] <plustax> bloom213, how do I access my windows files from my ubuntu installation? I cant find them in my folders anywhere
[17:07] <Bugari> L3top: "this"?
[17:07] <david1234> L3top: was able to write to the /dev/sda1 partition as root from the LiveCD
[17:07] <wilee-nilee> plustax, This a wubi install?
[17:07] <plustax> wilee-nilee, it is indeed.
[17:07] <L3top> http://pastebin.com/9iGMrMeE  sorry Bugari
[17:07] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: when you double click a .deb in nautilus gdebi installs it.
[17:08] <AlexPortable> Yes but also for .txt files
[17:08] <AlexPortable> I want them to open with gedit or something
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> plustax, hehe keep looking they are there I forget exactly where sorry.
[17:08] <AlexPortable> Not just trying to open them with nautilus
[17:08] <plustax> ah crap haha
[17:08] <plustax> okay
[17:08] <L3top> That will probably have to be altered Bugari...
[17:08] <Bugari> L3top: I'm trying to set it, gimme a sec :D
[17:08] <bloom213> plustax: i'm not on 12.10 but you should be able to find it ;)
[17:08] <wlightning> is there any way to reduce the height of each contact row in Empathy chat with 12.10?
[17:09] <drkokandy> Anyone have any idea how to make battery times more accurate? I'm seeing improved battery life on 12.10... but when I boot up, it says 3 hrs available... now, 5 hours later, it's saying 1:28 remaining...
[17:09] <plustax> bloom213, where might it be?
[17:09] <plustax> I looked in root, usr, bin, lib
[17:09] <plustax> everywhere haha
[17:09] <plustax> Im a bit of a linux noob
[17:09] <wilee-nilee> plustax, might be media or mnt you will have to look from file which is root I believe.
[17:09] <plustax> wilee-nilee, how do I get gui root again?  From recovery mode, I chose "network". Was asked if I wanted to "remount your /filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other filesystem defined in /etc/fstab". When I chose yes, it gave me the two-line fsck status, and is now hung again.
[17:10] <ls612> I'm having an issue with my new install of 12.10. Occasionally (every fifth boot or so) the graphical load will fail and I'll be dumped into a black screen with nothing on it except for some white text at the top that say "[ OK ]". the only thing that gets me out of that is manually powering off the machine and rebooting, after which it works fine.
[17:11] <ls612> When I went into recovery mode it gave an error, saying that 'the last mount time for dev/sda5 was in the future, probably due to a miscalibrated hardware clock'
[17:11] <ls612> Any ideas about what is going on?
[17:12] <L3top> david1234: it seems as though something is very wrong with your install or the physcial disk. I am not really sure where to start troubleshooting... can you load a live disk and fsck it from there? Or did we do that already?
[17:12] <fred_1> Can anyone look at my problem I cant install Programs in Ubuntu. The details are in http://pastebin.com/TaMPdFzx ... please?
[17:12] <david1234> L3top: Yes, we tried fsck'ing from a LiveCD. It finished in less than 1 second and did not output any error to the terminal.
[17:13] <plustax> wilee-nilee, I found it. Host folder then users
[17:13] <plustax> for future notice :D
[17:13] <wilee-nilee> cool
[17:13] <drkokandy> I don't know about the [OK] issue ls612 - but you can check to see what the hardware time is in the BIOS. Enter setup the next time you boot up (the key differs by your motherboard maker, but it might be something like F2)
[17:13] <david1234> L3top: The issues started after I did the release upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. Is there any way to roll back?
[17:13] <drkokandy> ls612, and then you can adjust the time in the BIOS manually
[17:13] <ls612> drkokandy: My HW time is fine, I checked.
[17:14] <david1234> L3top: I already ran SpinRite on the whole hard drive, no errors were reported.
[17:14] <AlexPortable> wilee-nilee: IdleOne any clue?
[17:14] <anonymous> ciao
[17:14] <L3top> no, there is no rollback david1234.
[17:14] <L3top> !downgrade | david1234
[17:15] <david1234> L3top: OK, I understand. Do you have any idea what I should do next?
[17:15] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: I am not sure I understand the issue. When you try to view a .txt file by double clicking on it what happens?
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> AlexPortable, generally no, and just asking people randomly is rather a strange response.
[17:15] <L3top> david1234: this is why I always do fresh installs. You might consider moving your /home to a separate partition. Makes installing different versions a WHOLE lot easier. I would backup /home and reinstall.
[17:16] <AlexPortable> wilee-nilee: i'm not asking randomly. You replied to me
[17:16] <danman1453> hello all
[17:16] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: focus :)
[17:16] <AlexPortable> IdleOne: Because doubleclicking from the browser is faster than having to go to /home/alex/Downloads/file.txt
[17:16] <david1234> L3top: OK. My main concern is that I used LVM on two other hard drives to store multiple terabytes of media. How do I back up this config?
[17:16] <david1234> (so that I do not lose any media data)
[17:16] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: yes I understand that. what error are you getting when you double click on a .txt ?
[17:16] <bugari> L3top: May the one thousand vaginas find a way to your crotch this night.
[17:17] <danman1453> is there a way to use legacy video drivers in a new ubuntu version?
[17:17] <bugari> L3top: You saved the day :D
[17:17] <antisocial> sorry, I'm a Newbie to xubuntu, and I know stopped at 1 hitch. I can not install updates adobe flash player. the only thing I can do and save it to your desktop. help me please :)
[17:17] <fruct> Hello! Please help me get work Option's GTM 378
[17:17] <bugari> L3top: (it happened to be 1920x1080, but I handled that ;P)
[17:17] <wilee-nilee> AlexPortable, Not today, hehbe
[17:17] <danman1453> I have 10.10 right now, but I would like to upgrade to 12.04 and my video card is not supported in the new version
[17:17] <gordonjcp> !flash | antisocial
[17:17] <bekks> danman1453: Which card vevry exactly do you have?
[17:18] <AlexPortable> wilee-nilee: sorry i thought you nickmentioned me xd
[17:18] <wilee-nilee> AlexPortable, Honestly I can barely remember my own name. ;)
[17:18] <ls612> Does anyone have any ideas about my occasionally inability to boot 12.10?
[17:19] <AlexPortable> ls612: Does your system goes on fire when it can't boot?
[17:19] <AlexPortable> Or does the pc shuts down?
[17:19] <L3top> glad you got it going... sorry if I put a bad value in there... was working off of a template which is at 1080p.
[17:19] <AlexPortable> or do you get kernel panic?
[17:19] <jakubo> anyone common with grub2?
[17:19] <L3top> bugari: ^
[17:19] <AlexPortable> jakubo: #grub
[17:19] <AlexPortable> jakubo: do you want the whole channel to answer 'yes' ?
[17:19] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Not without some detail, a bootscript being run would get us closer at least me.
[17:19] <jakubo> i have tried there already, but i got no response
[17:19] <insomniac_lemon> antisocial, also, if you have a problem with red/blue colors being switched in videos, that is a bug in flash on Adobe's part. A way to fix this is to use Chrome, as it has built-in flash more controlled by Google, and it doesn't have this issue, and runs better.
[17:19] <AlexPortable> then wait for response jakubo
[17:19] <IdleOne> !behelpful
[17:20] <IdleOne> AlexPortable: chill out please.
[17:20] <jakubo> no need to be offended alexportable
[17:20] <ls612> It just gets stuck on the aforementioned screen with "[ OK ]" on the top. That OK is not an operable button.
[17:20] <danman1453> bekks: working on it... is there an easy way to list installed hardware?
[17:20] <wizard`> if i have two folders with the same name, one of which has some updated files, how do i write the newer folder into older folder to add the additional files/and overwrite the older files via command line?
[17:20] <wilee-nilee> ls612, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[17:20] <wilee-nilee> run that an post it
[17:20] <bekks> danman1453: lspci | grep VGA
[17:20] <bugari> L3top: man,  no reason to be sorry, you saved the day, and if i remember correctly, I gave you wrong values :P screen showed message what resolusion is correct, when wrong was provided :P
[17:21] <ls612> OK. I'll get back when I reproduce it.
[17:21] <danman1453> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[17:21] <antisocial> insomniac_lemon and ubottu thanks for now
[17:22] <danman1453> dumb question: how do I msg a specific user a response?
[17:22] <IdleOne> !tab | danman1453
[17:22] <danman1453> thanks
[17:22] <danman1453> bekks, did you get that?
[17:23] <insomniac_lemon> antisocial, Ubottu is a bot :) (also, when I said Chrome, I did mean Chrome, you need to go online to get it, it isn't in the software center)
[17:23] <plustax> the print screen button isnt working on my 12.10 I see the screenshot app but its a bit of a pain to use. Is there a way to map it to the prnt scrn button or am I pressing the wrong shortcut for screenshot?
[17:23] <bekks> danman1453: Yes.
[17:23] <plustax> insomniac_lemon, chromium is no different and is available in the software center
[17:23] <bekks> danman1453: And why do you think it is unsupported?
[17:24] <danman1453> because, if I choose to upgrade, it gives me a msg that it is not supported
[17:24] <insomniac_lemon> plustax, actually, it is different, Chrome is based on Chromium, and has more things built-in. Chromium is more bare-bones and has less features.
[17:24] <danman1453> I tried a fresh install of 12.04 from dvd, and the screen was cut off. Max resolution of 640x480.
[17:24] <plustax> insomniac_lemon, Ah, gotcha. I guess I havent need any of the extra chrome features.
[17:24] <brontosaurusrex> insomniac_lemon, like what? (other than flash)
[17:25] <plustax> anyone answer my screenshot question?
[17:25] <danman1453> 9.10 installed without a hitch. Then I upgraded to 10.10
[17:25] <plustax> brontosaurusrex, chromium has flash
[17:25] <plustax> its a plugin
[17:25] <insomniac_lemon> brontosaurusrex, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome
[17:25] <L3top> Can I see the exact message danman1453? When you try and upgrade?
[17:26] <insomniac_lemon> plustax, Flash on Chrome is less buggy than the plugin version in Chromium
[17:26] <dr_willis> plustax: i thought printscn launched  the screenshot app.
[17:26] <brontosaurusrex> insomniac_lemon, thanks
[17:27] <dr_willis> plustax:  tgeres some indicator applets to make screenahots easier also. list is  at askubuntu.com

[17:29] <riverless> How come I've got this problem with locale. If I run locale -a sv_SE.utf8 shows in the end. Ive edited /etc/enviroment and put LC_CTYPE,LANG,LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL to ="sv_SE.UTF-8". I did put sv_SE.UTF8 UTF-8 in top of /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and also put LANG="sv_SE.UTF-8" in /etc/default/locale. Cant see wht i've missed here?
[17:30] <ketterer> Hello
[17:31] <jrib> riverless: you haven't said what the problem is
[17:31] <riverless> jrib: for example, if I ask date for printout the respons is sÃ¶n 21 okt 2012 19.31.29 CEST
[17:32] <riverless> If I create an directory called "täst", the printout from ls is t?st
[17:32] <jrib> riverless: what's the output of "env"?
[17:32] <david1234> I have a couple of 2TB hard drives mapped to multiple logical volumes using LVM. They are accessed using Ubuntu which is installed on a completely separate hard drive. How do I go about backing up / restoring the LVM configuration so that after I reinstall Ubuntu my logical volumes will be set up as before and all my data will still be there?
[17:32] <ketterer> I have been having troubles with web integration, now I beleive it is my own fault, used the beta version on 12.04 for a while and It stopped working there but i didnt much care i just waited for 12.10, but now it is not working here. I have a home partition so it is still the same home folder as before
[17:32] <ls612> wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/wAauMCRc is the results from the bootinfoscript
[17:32] <riverless> jrib: can I whisper you in private to not spam channel?
[17:32] <wilee-nilee> thanks ls612 hold on
[17:32] <jrib> riverless: use a pastebin like http://paste.ubuntu.com
[17:32] <riverless> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1295550/
[17:33] <jrib> riverless: is that really the full output of "env"?
[17:34] <riverless> so sorry, I did paste you the "etc/enviroment", ill try again.. :)
[17:34] <david1234> Does this do the job I need? http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipemovevgtonewsys.html
[17:34] <riverless> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1295558/
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Not sure how you got that but it is not the correct output, take a closer lookat the link page it gives basic instructions on running it.
[17:34] <cgtobi> Hi all, I can't get Ubuntu 12.04.1 to do a fsck at boot up, neither by touching /forcefsck nor by running 'shutdown -rF now'. It always shows '*** /dev/sda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***' after each reboot. I also deleted motd.tail but without success. Does anyone have a hint for me?
[17:35] <jrib> riverless: what context is this in?  I assume you aren't on the desktop with X logged in locally?
[17:35] <riverless> jrib: remote access thru putty
[17:36] <wilee-nilee> ls612, You can also use this app click on the bootinfo summary only and it will give you a http address to post.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[17:36] <jrib> riverless: it might be an issue with putty. Is it possible to test locally on the system?  Or to ssh with a terminal on ubuntu?
[17:36] <ls612> wilee-nilee: I literally copy-pasted the command, and it said in the terminal
[17:36] <jrib> riverless: http://superuser.com/questions/264363/how-can-i-use-utf-8-on-linux-from-windows-7-via-putty first answer refers to some putty setting
[17:37] <ls612> "gawk could not be found, using "busybox awk" instead. this may lead to unreliable results."
[17:37] <riverless> jrib: yea, seems better in xsession(connecting with x11vnc)
[17:37] <ketterer> I have been having troubles with web integration, now I beleive it is my own fault, used the beta version on 12.04 for a while and It stopped working there but i didnt much care i just waited for 12.10, but now it is not working here. I have a home partition so it is still the same home folder as before
[17:37] <riverless> jrib: but the strange thing is that I can write like åäö without any problems in the shell
[17:37] <riverless> jrib: its the response of the result that comes with wrong chars
[17:38] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Linux commands have to be exact there at least 4 commands shown on that page, for different setups. ;)
[17:38] <aafa> I get the grub Error 27 after typing any command, such as ls, grub --version
[17:38] <jrib> riverless: try the "Window → Translation → Received data assumed to be in which character set → UTF-8" setting in Putty
[17:38] <wab> anyone can help with a vm running ubuntu, please?
[17:38] <riverless> jrib: working
[17:38] <riverless> jrib: thanks mate
[17:38] <jrib> riverless: cool
[17:39] <riverless> jrib: didnt even think it could be on this side
[17:39] <wilee-nilee> ls612, I would just use the boot repair app it is a good tool to have and generates the script when needed.prt
[17:39] <wilee-nilee> afk
[17:40] <insomniac_lemon> wab, I just started using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Virtualbox VM a few days ago, what is the issue?
[17:40] <riverless> jrib: Ive also got a broken directory that I cant remove, you parhaps have some tricks on that one?
[17:40] <riverless> jrib: Im running something called flexraid
[17:40] <jrib> riverless: what happens when you try to remove it?
[17:40] <jrib> riverless: I'll be back in 5 minutes
[17:40] <riverless> jrib: d?????????   ? ?    ?        ?                ? t?st/
[17:41] <riverless> jrib: ok

[17:41] <wat90> hello folks I am installing Studio but I have this now: http://i.imgur.com/a0Ljc.png what am I supposed to do?
[17:41] <wat90> I am new to installing this, how do I install it without messing my ntfs part?
[17:42] <wat90> I have all my files put on the ntfs
[17:42] <wat90> where shall I install Studio?
[17:43] <insomniac_lemon> wat90, hmmm, that 75 GBs of free space you have there?
[17:43] <ketterer> what are sda1 and sda2?
[17:43] <ketterer> wat90: what are sda1 and sda2?
[17:43] <wat90> It doesn' t matter as long as my ntfs doesn' t get touched
[17:43] <wat90> I have no idea
[17:43] <wat90> those are of my previous Fedora installation
[17:43] <david1234> I have a couple of 2TB hard drives mapped to multiple logical volumes using LVM. They are accessed using Ubuntu which is installed on a completely separate hard drive.

[17:44] <luckyone> hello all - I have just upgraded to 12.10 and now I can't get past the login screen, it just keeps coming back... I have read a post about how to fix this but it requires me dropping to a virtual terminal at the login screen, and crtl+alt+f<> keys don't bring me to prompts... any ideas?
[17:44] <k1l_> wat90: you cant install on ntfs. you need an ext filesystem for ubuntu
[17:44] <wat90> k1l_: no I want to install Studio on my computer without touching the ntfs part, there are all my files
[17:44] <wat90> where and how shall I install?
[17:45] <ketterer> wat90: well i would select sda 1 and sda2 and  go to change, there should be a delete funtioon there, then you will have about 80 gigs free
[17:46] <insomniac_lemon> wat90, the free space within /dev/sda There's nothing there, didn't you partition that out to use?
[17:47] <dr_willis> !text | luckyone
[17:47] <elkclone> close
[17:48] <jrib> riverless: I assume that's output from ls?
[17:48] <jaguar_> hi
[17:48] <ketterer> wat90: this will not touch your ntfs,  then i would make a 10 or 15 gig partition select it to be used and use as "/" then make the a second partition  that is like 60 gigs and then it will be set to use, then use as "/home" then finially the remaining free space can be set to be used as a swap partition
[17:48] <wat90> insomniac_lemon ketterer: I don' t know! those were already like that, do any of you have a reccomendation on how to install Studio without touching the ntfs part? I am not good at formatting Linux partitions
[17:48] <riverless> jrib: correct
[17:48] <riverless> jrib: its also on something called a Flexraid raid
[17:48] <riverless> jrib: so there problably their stuff not working as well
[17:48] <ketterer> wat90: this will not touch your ntfs,  then i would make a 10 or 15 gig partition select it to be used and use as "/" then make the a second partition  that is like 60 gigs and then it will be set to use, then use as "/home" then finially the remaining free space can be set to be used as a swap partition
[17:49] <ketterer> wat90: well i would select sda 1 and sda2 and  go to change, there should be a delete funtioon there, then you will have about 80 gigs free this will not touch your ntfs,  then i would make a 10 or 15 gig partition select it to be used and use as "/" then make the a second partition  that is like 60 gigs and then it will be set to use, then use as "/home" then finially the remaining free space can be set to be used as a swap partition
[17:49] <jrib> riverless: when I've seen output like that in the past, it's indicative of some sort of filesystem corruption and advise an fsck.  I don't know if you need to do something special because of this Flexraid raid
[17:49] <WalterN> so... installed 12.10 and everything seems fine when my three displays are mirrored, or two of the three are turned off... but when running two or three screens video is extremely sluggish, and I get this nasty looking error in xorg.0.log   http://pastebin.com/1rxcHM5y
[17:49] <ketterer> wat90:  if you want step by step help pm me ok
[17:50] <wat90> I am pming you ketterer
[17:50] <riverless> jrib: well this company says that first fix your locale problem (what I think ive done), and now its their software not working
[17:50] <riverless> jrib: as I cant create täst properly on their partition
[17:50] <wilee-nilee> ls612, I'm not see any red flags in the script, it is always helpful in any problem to have details associated with it. As in what exactly happens when it does not boot.
[17:50] <insomniac_lemon> wat90, the part that has free space has nothing on it, and it is a separate partition that isn't formatted. You should format that to install the OS.
[17:50] <Siegel-> hi, i just installed xubuntu, xfce interface on ubuntu 10.10 and i cannot find the "display" icon in "system" to change the screen resolution,. this is causing many problems as i cannot log into yahoo mail and such because this is below their recommended resolution settings
[17:51] <jrib> riverless: you should contact them again now that you've sorted the locale issue
[17:52] <jrib> !10.10 | Siegel-
[17:52] <riverless> jrib: yea, one fast question, how can I get everything back in english? only the output, I dont want to read everything in swedish.
[17:52] <Siegel-> jrib: where is the display icon to change screen resolution on xfce
[17:52] <riverless> jrib: man and such commands looks stupid in swedish..
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> Siegel-, AS a heads up 10.10 is end of life and actually not supported here. ;)
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> you may get help but far and few between
[17:53] <jrib> riverless: you can just prefix a command with the environment variable.  So for example: LANG=C apt-cache policy mplayer.  I don't remember, which takes precedence, so you may have to try LANG, LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL
[17:53] <ketterer> I have been having troubles with web integration and i really would like to get it working, now I beleive it is my own fault, used the beta version on 12.04 for a while and It stopped working there but i didnt much care i just waited for 12.10, but now it is not working here. I have a home partition so it is still the same home folder as before
[17:54] <riverless> jrib: thanks
[17:54] <Vinto> hi
[17:54] <Vinto> take me some other channel to chat?
[17:55] <dr_willis> ketterer:  you mean the 'webapps' feature on some sites like gmail, redit and amazon?
[17:55] <wilee-nilee> ketterer, web integration could mean anything, can you be more specific for the channel.
[17:55] <ketterer> yes
[17:55] <Vinto> i search a poland channel
[17:55] <ketterer> the webapps feature sorry for not being specific
[17:56] <Vinto> ok
[17:56] <Vinto> tyy
[17:56] <Vinto> ty
[17:56] <wilee-nilee> one word excellent, use nicks ketterer
[17:56] <dr_willis> ketterer:  from what ive seen of it.... it tends to be flakey. ;) ive had it work one day then not the next..
[17:56] <dr_willis> ketterer:  you could test with a newly made user and se if it works. there may be some old settings confuseing it
[17:57] <ketterer> dr_willis: ok, i have not had it work at all yet on 12.10,
[17:57] <ketterer> ok
[17:57] <ketterer> ill try that in a few mins
[17:57] <dr_willis> ketterer:  from what ive seen of it.. you are not missing much. ;)
[17:58] <dr_willis> ketterer:  during beta testing it was a very hit and miss feature
[17:58] <ketterer> hmm ok that stinks, i really just like the facebook aand gmail notifications and google docs dash search
[17:59] <ls612> wilee-nilee: It will drop me into a black screen with some white text at the top that says "[ OK ]". That OK can not be used, the only way out is to hard restart. Sometimes before it drops me there it says it can't find a display adapter. I use Intel HD 4000 graphics.
[17:59] <dr_willis> ketterer:  i dont even recall if those features worked or not.
[18:00] <dr_willis> that online accounts thing cazn notify you of most of that stuff without the webapps feature
[18:00] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Ah sounds like a graphic driver problem, there I really have no exsperience all my computers have worked so I have not really worked in this area.
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> experience*
[18:02] <ls612> so what can I do to fix this?
[18:03] <clo_> hi, need help on font. Need to install "comic sans". Can someone help me?
[18:03] <ketterer> ok thanks i may return later, i will try a new user
[18:04] <insomniac_lemon> clo_, hahaha, is that a joke?
[18:04] <escott> clo_, is comic sans not an msft core font?
[18:04] <bjaanes> clo_: install ttf-mscorefonts
[18:04] <ls612> wilee-nilee: and if it was a graphics driver problem why would it only happen when the recovery console says the system clock is off?
[18:04] <clo_> escott, yes
[18:05] <escott> clo_, yes it is a corefont or yes it is not a corefont?
[18:05] <clo_> escott, not corefont
[18:05] <brontosaurusrex> of course its corefont
[18:06] <escott> clo_, if its not a corefont then you need to get the .ttf and drop it into ~/.fonts
[18:06] <wilee-nilee> ls612, I'm just guessing to be honest.
[18:07] <clo_> escott, okay
[18:07] <clo_> thank you
[18:07] <ls612> Can I run something to get graphics driver diagnostics?
[18:07] <bjaanes> clo_, im pretty sure its in the ttf-mscorefonts package
[18:07] <bjaanes> Oh well :P
[18:07] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Did you mention the clock before?
[18:08] <wilee-nilee> clo_That font is in the restricted-extras for your desktop a ms font.
[18:09] <ls612> wilee-nilee: Yes, the first post I made about this I believe I mentioned that the recovery console said that the last mount time for dev/sda5 was in the future by less than a day. And, after it fixes that it works fine the next boot.
[18:09] <jakubo> how can i make the system use the precise repo for grub (system is quantal)
[18:10] <bjrohan> I have a problem with java, one website let's me use it's plugin on one page the other says it can't be detected
[18:10] <escott> ls612, that could just be clock skew
[18:11] <wilee-nilee> ls612, Ah you are right, my main area of any knowledge if it could be called knowledge is in grub problems, but very limited even there. I am just a regular user that has been running linux for awhile is all.
[18:11] <ls612> would it have anything to do with booting win7?
[18:11] <ls612> because that seems to trigger the issue repeatably.
[18:11] <escott> ls612, yes
[18:12] <ls612> escott: so what can I do then to fix this?
[18:12] <wilee-nilee> ls612, I would use the ubuntu forums rather then the IRC for this if it was me.
[18:12] <wilee-nilee> at least as well.
[18:12] <dr_willis> and dont overlook askubuntu.com for help
[18:12] <Psi|4ward> How to install and connect a umts-stick without KDE/Gnome?
[18:12] <wilee-nilee> +1
[18:13]  * dr_willis wonders what a umts-stick is
[18:13] <escott> ls612, windows likes to keep the hardware clock in local instead of UTC. you might modify ubuntu to keep the hardware clock in local instead of UTC and see if that fixes things
[18:13] <Psi|4ward> internet over cellphone network? ;)
[18:13] <dr_willis> you maen a usb-3g modem?
[18:14] <Psi|4ward> yea
[18:14] <Psi|4ward> exactly
[18:14] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: I have a website I need for work who's screenrecorder says it can't detect Java, however if I go to the manufactuers site of the screenrecorder, it works just fine. Crux at the manu site if I go to get java it says it can't detect it, any clues? I found I did have a 3rd party PPA autorized :web8update
[18:15] <dr_willis> bjrohan:  could be one site wants the  offical java, not the open sourced java
[18:15] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: The 3rd party was: http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu could this have caused my problem?
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> bjrohan, Me, are you serious. ;)
[18:15] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: yes :-) you know more than i :-)
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> hardly
[18:15] <miss_ubuntu_> hi Boys , I use ubuntu 11.10 to do continuous download through torrent, how can i stop ALL other processes and power consumption ? (i already have script to power off monitor)
[18:16] <bjrohan> I have installed the deb from oracle, and still no go. I also have icedtea
[18:16] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  what torrent client?
[18:16] <ls612> escott: I already have it in the Time & Date Settings to use my time zone. Is there another setting for its interface with the HW clock?
[18:16] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: No biggie I can work around from the manu site and save to the work site :-)
[18:16] <wilee-nilee> bjrohan, psychology and intercultural relations yes probably, here I doubt it.
[18:16] <miss_ubuntu_> dr_willis thanks for reply  i use Transmission Bit Torrent client
[18:17] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: I have seen you help others like a mofo
[18:17] <wilee-nilee> bjrohan, I' know my google foo.
[18:17] <escott> ls612, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple_Boot_Systems_Time_Conflicts
[18:17] <bjrohan> hehehe
[18:17] <ls612> thanks!
[18:17] <fred_1> When I install a program I got an Error: libGL error: failed to load driver: i915 As I understand from internet its a bug in Ubuntu. How do I solve this?
[18:17] <bjrohan> wilee-nilee: me too, that is how I have 6 versions of java on my system now and none are a go
[18:18] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  if you wanted the lightest setup you can use a non gui/console torrent client and not evn start x at all. but i doubt if you will save a lot of power no matter how much you turn off.
[18:18] <wilee-nilee> bjrohan, I have never really understood java, I think I have java 7 installed what it does I have no idea, it just seemed needed.
[18:18] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  or use a very mini mal window manager for your gui client to run in
[18:19] <miss_ubuntu_> dr_willis thanks , what is minimal window manager? my cpu fan continuously make noise mens some processes are consuming cpu
[18:19] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  more likely power saveings features are not enabled on your system/mb/bios
[18:20] <dr_willis> just the desktop 'idling' here  shows a very few % cpu used on my system.
[18:21] <dr_willis> according to 'htop'
[18:23] <shann> hi
[18:23] <humbolt> I am trying to boot my HP server for over 6 hours now.
[18:24] <humbolt> I need help to get out of this grub rescue thing!
[18:24] <sanish> What year is it I need to know if my time machine worked?
[18:24] <wilee-nilee> humbolt, Have you modified grub?
[18:24] <miss_ubuntu_> dr_willis is there any tool out there that can tell me statistics of cpu consumption by proceses ? e.g i want to know in last 2 hours which processes got max cpu share , top only tells current snapshot
[18:24] <bekks> sanish: 2013.
[18:25] <sanish> yes it worked! i come from the year 2246
[18:25] <humbolt> wilee-nilee: I did not modify it at all. But it does not boot anymore after the upgrade to 12.10
[18:25] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  i just use htop
[18:26] <humbolt> wilee-nilee: for some reason it wanted to reinitialize grub
[18:26] <humbolt> and there I am, hanging in boot rescue for hours now.
[18:26] <bekks> humbolt: For which reason?
[18:26] <humbolt> bekks: it does not tell
[18:26] <miss_ubuntu_> dr_willis thanks let me try it
[18:26] <lionofgod> Hello
[18:26] <lionofgod>  am using Ubuntu 12.10 and I for some reason the new version of compiz does not have cube or opacity plugin
[18:26] <humbolt> but I am unable to make it load the normal or the linux module
[18:26] <lionofgod> I am wondering if I have maybe installed it wrong or something, because no one else is complaining about this...
[18:27] <bekks> humbolt: Then please start at the beginning. Whats happens when you power on your server, what do you do, what exactly is the problem?
[18:27] <wilee-nilee> humbolt, A upgrade will load the latest version, 12.10 has had at least a while back a dead boot I would chroot in and reload the mbr at the least.
[18:27] <humbolt> wilee-nilee: the server is in france
[18:27] <sanish> wanadoo sucks
[18:27] <humbolt> wilee-nilee: I am in austria
[18:27] <bekks> humbolt: On a HP server, you have a remote virtual console.
[18:28] <wilee-nilee> humbolt, Ah, I can't really help then.
[18:28] <humbolt> wilee-nilee: all I have is an IPMI console to at least see, what is going on
[18:28] <ketterer> ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away
[18:28] <bekks> humbolt: You dont have access to the ILO?
[18:28] <wilee-nilee> bekks, knows this stuff though.
[18:28] <humbolt> error: fd0 read error. error: fd1 read error. error: file not found.
[18:28] <xangua> lionofgod: the cube has never payed well with unity
[18:28] <lionofgod> I was using it in 12.04
[18:28] <humbolt> bekks: I do have access to iLO
[18:28] <ketterer> dr_willis: ok so i did make a new user, and it works right away
[18:28] <lionofgod> But my main concern in transparency...
[18:28] <bekks> humbolt: Then you have access to the remote virtual console, too.
[18:28] <humbolt> bekks: I can interact with grub rescue
[18:28] <congiun> hello guys :)
[18:29] <lionofgod> DOes compiz 0.9.8 not include transparency?
[18:29] <humbolt> bekks: yes
[18:29] <bekks> humbolt: Then use it, to attache a livecd and chroot into your system.
[18:29] <lionofgod> Anyone else using compiz with ubuntu 12.10?
[18:29] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, If your using unity your using compiz.
[18:30] <|Anthony|> how do i recursively set a default acl? setfacl -m -d -R isn't working
[18:30] <humbolt> bekks: but I do not have an advanced pack and can not load virtual disks for that reason. the eval license they offer, does not work. the support forums say, I would have to reset iLO to factory defaults first, but then I would loose connectivity completely.
[18:30] <lionofgod> Let me reword that, has anyone opened up ccsm on ubuntu 12.10
[18:30] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, There is a #compiz channel as well if needed.
[18:30] <bekks> humbolt: Then you are out of options. Shoot the one who did not order the Advanced iLO license.
[18:30] <ketterer> dr_willis: do you know where these settings for webapps would be stored
[18:30] <lionofgod> Its dead...
[18:30] <humbolt> bekks: I have already downloaded a livecd, but the eval key does not work, so I am screwed.
[18:31] <lionofgod> I jsut want to know if anyone else has desktop cube plugin on their ccsm in 12.10
[18:31] <humbolt> bekks: do you have a working eval key_
[18:31] <humbolt> or, can I buy that online_
[18:31] <bekks> humbolt: HP offers you working eval keys.
[18:31] <bekks> And you cant buy them online, they are eval keys. :)
[18:31] <bekks> humbolt: Call your local HP reseller, e.g., or call the HP hotline.
[18:33] <jubei> anyobody know what it means if a usb wifi dongle doesn't have a /dev/ ?
[18:33] <lionofgod> has anyone opened up ccsm in Ubuntu 12.10?
[18:33] <jubei> or at least I can't find it
[18:34] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, Before messing with this I would install the fusion icon and make a launcher for it on the desktop this will restart compiz you will need it and know how to rm the messed up setup.
[18:35] <bekks> jubei: Then you dont have a driver loaded that supports your device.
[18:35] <IDWMaster> Hi. Upgraded to 12.10 and found out that my display on my netbook no longer works
[18:35] <IDWMaster> It's good that it's possible to hotswap drives between computers with Ubuntu.
[18:36] <IDWMaster> Is there a known workaround for this bug yet?
[18:36] <bekks> For whih bug?
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> IDWMaster, what bug?
[18:36] <IDWMaster> It affects my system with a GMA 3600 graphics chip
[18:36] <lionofgod> wilee-nilee: I'm not messing with anything, I just need to know if cube plugin, etc. have been removed from compiz 0.9.8
[18:36] <congiun> hello guys, i have problem how to install compiz on ubuntu 12.10
[18:36] <congiun> :D
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, Can you not look?
[18:36] <IDWMaster> The one that I just mentioned; it hasn't been reported yet though.
[18:37] <IDWMaster> Not sure which package it should be in though
[18:37] <wilee-nilee> congiun, It's already installed, do you wnat the ccsm
[18:37] <wilee-nilee> want*
[18:37] <lionofgod> wilee-nilee: I have and I am wondering if I have not installed some package...because no one else is complaining or moaning about this in online community
[18:37] <IDWMaster> Intel should get the middle finger from Linux Torvalds.
[18:37] <IDWMaster> Maybe that would make Intel give us some better drivers
[18:37] <lionofgod> I would think that dropping cube and such from compiz would be pretty big
[18:38] <congiun> yes
[18:38] <lionofgod> Is there anyone using ccsm?
[18:38] <IDWMaster> Anyways; it's a problem with the drivers (or in this case; lack thereof) provided by Intel
[18:38] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, I'm on precise right now I used to love unity and had a great cube setup with a script to load it that stopped working as of precise I gave up on that desktop and switched to the shell.
[18:39] <lionofgod> I see
[18:39] <lionofgod> Cube worked perfectly for me on precise
[18:39] <lionofgod> funny
[18:39] <wilee-nilee> I think it is fine but just got tired of it.
[18:39] <IDWMaster> Upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and am experiencing problems just booting
[18:40] <lionofgod> Any other ubuntu channels?
[18:40] <IDWMaster> It will boot into recovery mode but no X-server support
[18:40] <wilee-nilee> lionofgod, Worked fine basically as well, but the desktop lost some inherent focus when you messed with compiz enough at least for me.
[18:40] <asd1> lionofgod: #lubuntu   or   #kubuntu
[18:41] <lionofgod> Weird
[18:41] <lionofgod> asd1: ty

[18:49] <dlentz> home, you type sudo apt-get install fglrx (assuming you have a RadeonHD 5000 or newer)
[18:49] <newb> is there a terminal command to install desktop icons ?
[18:51] <home> once i have install grafic driver from "additional driver" in software source but after restart the unity crashed

[18:57] <humbolt> bekks: iLO advanced license, these HP guys are funny: "shipps in 1-2 weeks". Damn it, all I need in an email from you folks and you send me a damn hardcopy.
[18:57] <humbolt> HP never ever again!
[18:57] <johnjacobjingerh> is there another source i can get ubuntu server 12.04 from.. like an additional mirror
[18:58] <johnjacobjingerh> the one on ubuntu's site is taking forever
[18:58] <johnjacobjingerh> 4 hours left on downloading
[18:58] <newb> distrowatch sells  ubuntu dvds
[18:58] <leifmadsen> hey all -- I have a USB stick that contains 12.04 and I need to convert it to an ISO. I'm going to use dd, but first time around I got the entire USB stick size (16GB). Anyone know how I can tell it to just create the ISO based on the cdrom size?
[18:58] <johnjacobjingerh> i have a 105mbps down it should not take that long
[18:58] <kroson> wilee-nilee: i installed ubuntu gnome remix, that's a valid one right?
[18:58] <newb> bout 10 dollars i think
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> johnjacobjingerh, Isn't there a torrent there still.
[18:58] <johnjacobjingerh> i dunno...
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> kroson, I believe so.
[18:59] <escott> leifmadsen, the usb sticks dont work like that
[18:59] <home> once i have install grafic driver from "additional driver" in software source but after restart the unity crashed

[19:01] <johnjacobjingerh> i'm going for that now
[19:01] <jpmh> I accidentally did a kill -1 and so killed all running processes and of course was logged off.  What I do not understand and need help fixing is that some permanent damage has been done and things will not start, I get messages such as: Failed to connect to configuration server' some possible causes are...  - I suspect it has left some weird file but WHAT?
[19:01] <home> please help me to install the amd grafic driver in 12.10
[19:01] <johnjacobjingerh> i'm hoping to get clipbucket to run on this server :-)

[19:03] <thrasher194> j e l l o
[19:04] <ikonia> thrasher194: please don't mess around, "hello" is how normal/polite people interact not "j e l l o"
[19:04] <humbolt> bekks: I am not out of options, I can boot from PXE!
[19:05] <humbolt> does anybody know, how I can boot a cd image over the network?
[19:05] <johnjacobjingerh> u need a pxe server
[19:06] <thrz> I'm trying to install 12.10 in a uefi machine, using a pre-partitioned hdd, however I'm unsure how to install the bootloader correctly, should it be installed to the whole drive or the efi system partition?
[19:06] <escott> thrz, / needs its own partition. grub files will be placed in the gpt partition
[19:06] <newb> is this ubuntu help ?
[19:08] <escott> newb, yes
[19:08] <ketterer> Hello agian,does anyone know if the defult chromium in the repos has webapp integration?
[19:08] <thrz> I chose the option to be installed in /dev/sda1 in the installer but somehow I get no grub files in there, and I also get a new fat32 partition created by the installer that seems to be empty
[19:08] <newb> ty escott
[19:09] <asd1> Hello
[19:09] <Theodoros> Hi, does anyone know when linux-current-image in 12.04 will be updated to 12.10's kernel?
[19:09] <asd1> I'm testing new gnome-shell 3.6 on quantal
[19:09] <ikonia> thrasher194: never
[19:09] <ikonia> oops
[19:09] <ikonia> Theodoros: never
[19:09] <Theodoros> ikonia: what?
[19:09] <ikonia> Theodoros: it will not get updated
[19:09] <asd1> Theodoros: Keep the LTS .. in a while you'll have new kernels
[19:09] <thrz> should I choose instead to install the bootloader to the whole drive instead? I'm afraid it will try to mess my gpt partitionç
[19:09] <Theodoros> Yes it will
[19:10] <ikonia> Theodoros: no, it won't
[19:10] <ikonia> Theodoros: it will stay on the same base kernel
[19:10] <Theodoros> No
[19:10] <escott> thrz, sda1 is probably the efi partition. so that doesn't sound correct
[19:10] <ikonia> "yes"
[19:10] <Theodoros> That's linux-generic
[19:10] <newb> just installed  ubuntu 12.10 and after login i get a desktop and mouse pointer but nothing else/ no sidebar / icons ... tried right clicking but no joy
[19:10] <asd1> Theodoros: In the while, you're already able to download and install kernel 3.4 from ubuntu servers (mainline)
[19:10] <ikonia> Theodoros: you may see something in back ports, but that's it
[19:10] <Theodoros> linux-current and hwe will get backports from future releases
[19:10] <surazal> I had a question reharding Ubuntu installation on a headless server over the network
[19:10] <ikonia> Theodoros: there is no promise of back ports
[19:11] <Theodoros> asd1 I thought they were going to just use quantal's kernel, i.e. 3.5
[19:11] <ikonia> less so as it's an LTS release.
[19:11] <newb> is there a terminal command to install  desktop headers
[19:11] <newb> icons ?
[19:11] <surazal> I found this documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole but it appears to be for an older release of Ubuntu
[19:11] <asd1> Theodoros: well I think they will, but not now. Now you can install 3.4 ;)
[19:11] <Theodoros> asd1 3.4 is no good to me, I need 3.5
[19:11] <Theodoros> well, prefer anyway
[19:12] <asd1> Theodoros: Well, you can install even 3.5, but not from official repos
[19:12] <thrz> my question is, installing in uefi mode to a gpt disk, if I choose the whole disk /dev/sda as the bootloader installation target, will it work without messing up anything?
[19:12] <Theodoros> asd1: which is why I came here to ask if there was any known timeframe for them to update
[19:12] <kroson> wilee-nilee: does gnome shell use compiz?
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> kroson, I believe it uses mutter
[19:13] <asd1> Theodoros: I suggest to use debian if you don't wanna be forced to change release for every important update (such kernel's)
[19:13] <dr_willis> kroson:  it does not use compiz
[19:13] <Theodoros> I was hopping that I wouldn't have to wait for 12.04.2
[19:13] <asd1> It's really a pain
[19:13] <kroson> dr_willis: mutter is lighter?
[19:13] <dr_willis> kroson:  no idea. doxent matter to me much ;)
[19:13] <Theodoros> asd1: With the linux-current and hwe packages that's no longer a concern
[19:13] <Theodoros> But I was just wondering when they were going to get around to doing it
[19:13] <kroson> dr_willis: you use unity? ;)
[19:14] <dr_willis> kroson:  unity works well for me in 12.10
[19:14] <escott> thrz, if the installer recognizes its a uefi boot it shouldn't even be asking where the bootloader goes. if its asking that suggests it is installing in bios mode. in which case you could either install the the mbr and then chroot in to install grub-efi, or skip the installation of the bootloader
[19:14] <Theodoros> The 3.5 kernel is already in the testing ppa for precise so I can do that
[19:14] <surazal> Is there any documentation regarding installing Ubuntu 12.X strictly over the network (the server has no monitor, so I can't even get at a boot prompt if I wanted to)
[19:14] <Theodoros> But I was just wonder what the official timeline is
[19:14] <ikonia> Theodoros: there is no promise of any back ports, it's an LTS release, so they will try to keep on the same base version
[19:14] <dr_willis> kroson:  if i wanted 'light' i would use lubuntu
[19:14] <ikonia> Theodoros: there is no official time line or promise of backports
[19:14] <Theodoros> ikonia: you keep saying that
[19:14] <Theodoros> ikonia: but you don't know what you're talking about
[19:15] <ikonia> Theodoros: because you keep asking
[19:15] <ikonia> Theodoros: please show me the official page that says "we promise to do backports and here is our time lines"
[19:15] <Theodoros> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling
[19:15] <thrz> escott: its definitely booting in uefi mode, so you mean I should get an option in the bottom part of the partition section asking where to put bootloader?
[19:15] <ikonia> Theodoros: yeah, where is the promise of backport and timeline ?
[19:16] <Theodoros> Did you read the page?
[19:16] <escott> thrz, it should NOT be asking you where the bootloader goes
[19:16] <kroson> dr_willis: you think it is better than xubuntu?
[19:16] <newb> i have no sidebar or anything after installing   and logging into ubuntu 12.10 ?  please help
[19:16] <escott> thrz, unless you have multiple disks with efi partitions
[19:16] <dr_willis> kroson:  i dident care for xfce last i used it
[19:16] <ikonia> Theodoros: yes, they will provide kernels, I've seen that page before, doesn't mean there is a promise to do this in a set time, especially if there are problems
[19:16] <Theodoros> Uhm
[19:16] <ikonia> Theodoros: I'd assume they try to do it within the timelines of the release they are back porting
[19:16] <Theodoros> what?
[19:16] <Theodoros> Yes
[19:16] <kroson> ok :)
[19:16] <Theodoros> So if they want to backport 12.10 kernel, 12.10 is out now
[19:17] <thrz> escott: I have just 1 HDD at the moment, I supposed the DVD doesnt count
[19:17] <johnjacobjingerh> when installing ubuntu server, is it best to install the packages i plan to use from the install cd or to install them after with apt-get
[19:17] <johnjacobjingerh> ?
[19:17] <ikonia> Theodoros: not if there is a problem with it or a technical reason not to
[19:17] <Theodoros> Which begs the question, what is the schedule for the 12.10 kernel release to linux-current
[19:17] <g00df00d> all the pain again... sis671 craptop resolution in 12.10.. can anybody here point me a solution?
[19:17] <Theodoros> It's already in testing
[19:17] <yeehi> Hello!
[19:17] <ikonia> Theodoros there isn't an official one
[19:17] <ikonia> Theodoros: that's the point,
[19:17] <dr_willis> johnjacobjingerh:  from the cd? i dident think the cd contained many extra packages
[19:17] <Theodoros> Yes there is
[19:17] <newb> is there a chat where i can get help with  12.10 ubuntu
[19:17] <ikonia> Theodoros: where is the official schedule then ?
[19:17] <yeehi> I have the ubuntu Quantal desktop - and i have installed skype
[19:17] <Theodoros> That's what I came here to ask
[19:18] <ikonia> Theodoros: if you know there is a schedule, why are you asking what ti is ?
[19:18] <johnjacobjingerh> dr_willis, it has like DHCP server and LAMP i think
[19:18] <dr_willis> newb:  you are in it.
[19:18] <ikonia> Theodoros: there is no "we will give you $X $Y weeks after release"
[19:18] <yeehi> i want to be able to put the skype launch icon onto that "bar" on the left
[19:18] <dr_willis> johnjacobjingerh:  i doubt it will matter much. those wouldent be huge downloads
[19:18] <ikonia> Theodoros: I'd assume as soon as technical possible, tested and safe
[19:18] <Theodoros> You sure like to change you rposition
[19:18] <newb> willis can you help me to  get a sidebar after installin  12.10
[19:18] <yeehi> how do i put the icon onto the bar? I tried right clicking but it didn't help
[19:18] <johnjacobjingerh> yea that was my thought
[19:18] <Theodoros> " there is no promise of any back ports" to "no official schedule"
[19:18] <johnjacobjingerh> wasnt sure if the repo packages were different than the cd tho
[19:18] <dr_willis> newb:  and your video card is?
[19:19] <g00df00d> 12.10 sis671????
[19:20] <newb> i guess i'll have to keep googling
[19:20] <dr_willis> silly irc client crashed. ;)
[19:21] <dr_willis> newb:  try installing the proper 3d drivers. if you know your card info
[19:21] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, what client are you using?
[19:21] <g00df00d> 12.10 sis671????
[19:21] <newb> ty dr willis
[19:21] <dr_willis> brontosaurusrex:  andchat on my cellphone through znc on my ubuntu box. ;)
[19:21] <brontosaurusrex> hehe :)
[19:21] <yourfriendisaaac> having trouble with using kodak printer even though the driver is installed.
[19:22] <g00df00d> 12.10 sis671 craptop????  Any suggestions?
[19:23] <g00df00d> ikonia, even with sis chipset?
[19:24] <ikonia> g00df00d: yes
[19:24] <celthunder> yourfriendisaaac: what's the error?
[19:25] <g00df00d> dr_willis: yeah, i know it, i think that a i will rollback to Xubuntu 11.1o
[19:25] <yourfriendisaaac> celthunder: asks for mdns ipp ipp client and another driver running on the firewall. As far as I can tell I have everything
[19:26] <celthunder> yourfriendisaaac: are you using cups?
[19:26] <yourfriendisaaac> celthiunder: Yes of course
[19:26] <Fullbust> hi. im using xfce+compiz. why is the config file stored under ~/.gconf? this is about gnome isnt it? thanks
[19:27] <brightsparks> Hi. I'm trying to get spotify for linux to run. I've downloaded and installed it but it won't load. The error message produced includes this: <" You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs: libc-bin, libc6, multiarch-support"> So how do I upgrade those packages and might it cause problems if I do?
[19:27] <celthunder> yourfriendisaaac: then what's it say when you pick the drivers you installed in cups?
[19:28] <yourfriendisaaac> celthunder: FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall.
[19:28] <celthunder> yourfriendisaaac: don't do the detection just tell it the printers ip
[19:29] <celthunder> and it shouldn't need most of that..
[19:29] <celthunder> brightsparks: apt-get update;apt-get upgrade
[19:32] <Zw33t> Hi! I sould like to create users on my ubuntu server that only can access "some" folders. How to do that?
[19:33] <johnjacobjingerh> well u need to make sure permissions are set on your folders
[19:33] <Froward> Zw33t: I'm kind of a noob but I think it might have something to do with which groups the user is in. Do you know about permissions?
[19:33] <toastcfh> hi
[19:33] <yeehi> Hello - who can help me - i have a couple of basic questions about the appearance of quantal...
[19:33] <celthunder> Zw33t: chown/chmod ?
[19:33] <bekks> yeehi: Then just ask.
[19:33] <yeehi> bekks - thanks
[19:34] <overclucker> !permissions | Zw33t
[19:34] <yourfriendisaaac> celthunder: isnt the same since ubuntu changed the settings interface. From where should I tell it the ipaddress. I have it locally setup on one computer and on a wireless network on another. The local device see the printer but will not set it as default. Both find the printer on the network
[19:34] <Zw33t> celthunder: I dont want them to see folders above *
[19:34] <yeehi> bekks - how do i easily move the "bar" on the left verticle to the bottom?
[19:34] <yeehi> what is that bar called?
[19:34] <escott> Zw33t, what is "*"
[19:34] <Zw33t> Chroot jail or something, heard about it?
[19:34] <Zw33t> above /home folder
[19:34] <bekks> yeehi: "panel". And there is no way I am aware of moving it.
[19:34] <Zw33t> etc, with chmod they can still se files, but not open
[19:34] <Zw33t> as far as i know
[19:34] <bekks> Zw33t: Thats wrong.
[19:34] <celthunder> Zw33t: theres a difference between a chroot/jail and just locking them in one dir
[19:34] <Zw33t> users on the computer?
[19:35] <brightsparks> celthunder: ok Thanks v much
[19:35] <escott> Zw33t, its impossible for them to do anything in /home without binaries and libc in /home
[19:35] <yeehi> ok, thanks bekks - next q: how do I add an icon to the panel?
[19:35] <Zw33t> sorry I am not as good at this yet as you noticed, but tnx for help :-)
[19:35] <Zw33t> what i meen is, i need to have chmod 777 etc on many files
[19:35] <bekks> yeehi: create a .desktop file for it (I never needed to do so)
[19:35] <yeehi> for example, bekks, i want to add the skype launcher icon to the panel
[19:35] <celthunder> Zw33t: if you really want someone locked in the home dir you probably want to make a chroot otherwise they cant do anything
[19:35] <escott> Zw33t, in almost all computer systems out there the permission model is that "you are the applications you run" so if you cannot see any applications to run, you cannot "be" anyone
[19:35] <Zw33t> but i dont want users on the server to have access to see all folders and files
[19:35] <celthunder> Zw33t: and chmod 777 should rarely if ever be used
[19:36] <yeehi> i go to dash, type skype and there is a skype icon
[19:36] <yeehi> i want to be able to "pin" that to the panel
[19:36] <bekks> Zw33t: when needing 777 on a bunch of files, your security concept is broken by design.
[19:36] <Zw33t> Most files on my server has 775
[19:36] <Zw33t> or folders*
[19:37] <jrib> Zw33t: so what has 777?
[19:37] <Zw33t> sould i say?
[19:37] <celthunder> so anyone can read it anyway...
[19:37] <bekks> Zw33t: Then you dont need to mess with permissions, as everyone can read every file.
[19:37] <dr_willis> yeehi: drag it to the panel
[19:37] <bekks> Zw33t: As I said: security concept broken by design.
[19:37] <yeehi> so easy, dr_willis! Thanks - let me try that now
[19:37] <Zw33t> bekks: i dont want everyone to have access to all files :P
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: Then dont use 777 or 775.
[19:38] <Lil> man chmod ?
[19:38] <Zw33t> But if the files has a owner, does 775 makes it open for others?
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: No.
[19:38] <celthunder> Zw33t: then get ride of the 775 and 777
[19:38] <dr_willis> yeehi: some apps can confuse the unity launcher ive noticed
[19:38] <Zw33t> its 775 by default
[19:38] <escott> Zw33t, go read up on chroot jails
[19:38] <toastcfh> why the amazon links to slayer albums gotta be busted >_>
[19:38] <overclucker> Zw33t: try 770 for directories, 5 is read + execute which allows directory traversal
[19:38] <yourfriendisaaac> celthunder: isnt the same since ubuntu changed the settings interface. From where should I tell it the ipaddress. I have it locally setup on one computer and on a wireless network on another. The local device see the printer but will not set it as default. Both find the printer on the network
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: No.
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: By DEFAULT, files are 644.
[19:38] <dr_willis> bbl
[19:38] <Zw33t> bekks: folders are 775 *
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: No.
[19:38] <bekks> Zw33t: By default, folders are 755.
[19:39] <Zw33t> hmm ok
[19:39] <Zw33t> il change to that then
[19:39] <yeehi> dr_willis: what is that nice tweaks program that lets you customize your desktop / gui?
[19:39] <toastcfh> amazon links are win but they derp up a lot
[19:39] <celthunder> yourfriendisaaac: just type in localhost:whateverportcupsison in your browser
[19:39] <Zw33t> but the think is, iff il do a "adduser bekks" you get a user, and a home folder
[19:39] <bekks> Zw33t: And 755/644 still allows everyone to read everything.
[19:39] <yeehi> linuxtweaks or ubuntutweaks or something like that
[19:39] <Zw33t> but you can still access files above /home/bekks
[19:39] <toastcfh> like a lot of them do not work
[19:40] <bekks> Zw33t: Expected behaviour.
[19:40] <Zw33t> but as i said, i do not want them to have access to all folders, but they can now. Thats why i was thinking of chroot jail.
[19:40] <faLUCE> hi.  I have troubles with cedar trail drivers for my n2800 atom cpu. I installed the packages provided by ubuntu and I get mplayer-vaapi working, but no luck with glxgears (it increases cpu to 300%). Which kernel should I use? thanks
[19:41] <bekks> Zw33t: Then first please get to know what 755 and 644 actually mean :)
[19:41] <Zw33t> I just want the user bekks that i add to have access to his own /home/ folder , and some folders in /home/otheruser/
[19:41] <celthunder> Zw33t: either chroot them or you're going to have to change your file permissions
[19:41] <escott> Zw33t, a chroot jail is really hard to set up, hard to maintain, and hard to secure for anything more than trivial access
[19:41] <Zw33t> the thing is that i have a game on a user /home/game , and i want do add some people that can access /home/game/addons folder.
[19:42] <celthunder> escott: chroots are easy to secure setup etc...same as any other system just without kernel security
[19:42] <Bumble-Bee> toastcfh o/
[19:42] <toastcfh> Bumble-Bee, ;o
[19:42] <toastcfh> <3
[19:42] <Bumble-Bee> :O
[19:42] <Zw33t> but i dont want them to see all files on the server
[19:42] <celthunder> which you should have on your host anyway i'd assume
[19:42] <bekks> celthunder: Nope. Not if he doesnt even know what 775 implies.
[19:42] <apoplectic> whats a msdn subscription?
[19:42] <overclucker> Zw33t: 755 still allows other users to traverse the directories. try 750, then add users you want to be able to access it to the game group
[19:42] <celthunder> apoplectic: an overpriced microsoft network service that gives you access to os's etc online
[19:42] <Bumble-Bee> lightdm breaks when you have a strange gnome3 shell setup
[19:43] <Bumble-Bee> if anyone has a strange login issue
[19:43] <Zw33t> so change all folders to 750 ?
[19:43] <apoplectic> celthunder access to OS?
[19:43] <apoplectic> what do you mena
[19:43] <escott> Zw33t, if you dont want a working system sure
[19:43] <Zw33t> :/
[19:43] <bekks> Zw33t: No. Dont guess, please read the link you've been given about permissions.
[19:43] <Zw33t> so i rather stick with croot jail i guess
[19:43] <celthunder> apoplectic: os iso's like windows 7 etc.
[19:44] <bekks> Zw33t: ...
[19:44] <Zw33t> hehe :P sorry bekks
[19:44] <apoplectic> ISO's as in cd images? celthunder
[19:44] <celthunder> apoplectic: yeah there's some other stuff in there too but that's what most people use it for
[19:45] <escott> Zw33t, in order to do this correctly you need to define exactly what you want the other user to be able to do, and how they will access the system. there may be a very easy way to set things up
[19:45] <escott> Zw33t, but you haven't told us what you want to accomplish other than some ambiguous desire to "restrict access"
[19:45] <WalterN> what is this when I go to websites and stuff it says something like "would you like to install facebook messenger for quicker access"?
[19:46] <Zw33t> as i said, i want to create some users that can access /home/game/addons and change files there, but not see files in /home/game , /var/ etc.
[19:46] <WalterN> same for youtube and a few others
[19:46] <coolstar> how do I install VirtualBox guest additions on Ubuntu 12.10?
[19:46] <Zw33t> @escott ;)
[19:46] <escott> Zw33t, you are failing to understand a very basic conceptual thing about OSes... so you are missing the point of the question
[19:46] <bekks> coolstar: By pressing ctrl+d in the vm window, and following the instructions of the vbox manual.
[19:47] <coolstar> bekks: already tried. installation fails
[19:47] <bekks> Zw33t: Please read the permissions link you've been given - it explains what permissions are.
[19:47] <bekks> coolstar: because...?
[19:47] <escott> Zw33t, if you open up a terminal it creates a process known as /bin/bash which has all the rights and capabilities that you are granted. to the computer you ARE /bin/bash and /bin/bash IS you
[19:47] <coolstar> bekks: unable to find Linux headers, and unknown X.org version
[19:48] <thrz> so when installing in uefi mode, it doesnt matter the choice where to put the bootloader? if I chooise the whole disk will it break my partitions?
[19:48] <coolstar> bekks: I'm using the amd64 version of ubuntu
[19:48] <escott> Zw33t, so when I ask what you want the other people to be able to do, i am asking what programs do you need them to be able to run
[19:48] <abbey> what is this?
[19:48] <bekks> coolstar: And...? Whats the exact, detailed message you get when trying to install the guest additions?
[19:48] <dr_willis> abbey:  what is what?
[19:48] <johnjacobjingerh> lol... i'm installing guest additions right now
[19:48] <johnjacobjingerh> that's funny
[19:48] <abbey> This
[19:49] <Zw33t> escott: primary FTP access, but alternative SFTP
[19:49] <johnjacobjingerh> conicidence i think not
[19:49] <apoplectic> celthunder, why would someone need the iso's exactly?
[19:49] <dr_willis> !irc > abbey
[19:49] <johnjacobjingerh> coolstar: u having issues installing guest additions
[19:49] <celthunder> apoplectic: corporate offices, colleges, etc
[19:49] <johnjacobjingerh> i just did it myself for the same build
[19:49] <coolstar> johnjacobjingerh: ubuntu 12.10 desktop amd64?
[19:49] <johnjacobjingerh> well server... but same steps
[19:49] <celthunder> apoplectic: i don't have one but most colloges and major corporate business's do
[19:49] <escott> Zw33t, that list of programs needs to be as short as possible, if it gets too long (and starts including things like scp or interpreters (bash,python) or compilers (gcc)) then it there really is not point in trying to secure them at all because they will be able to add the capabilities you initially restrict them
[19:49] <bekks> coolstar: You can also join #vbox
[19:50] <johnjacobjingerh> coolstar:  what did you try so far?
[19:50] <coolstar> Building the main Guest Additions module ..fail!
[19:50] <escott> thrz, in uefi the bootloader goes in the EFI system partition which is probably sda1, but it is easily seen to be a 100MB FAT partition
[19:50] <bekks> coolstar: It tells you where the log file is - did you take a look into it?
[19:50] <coolstar> Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
[19:50] <escott> Zw33t, http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/
[19:50] <Zw33t> escott: what about only ftp access to change easy files?
[19:50] <marsha_> hello
[19:50] <bekks> coolstar: Which vbox version do you use?
[19:50] <bekks> Zw33t: Nonsense.
[19:50] <mdg2> anyone here use abiword and autokey?
[19:51] <dr_willis> Zw33t:  more secure to use ssh/scp/sftp
[19:51] <coolstar> bekks: 4.2.0
[19:51] <johnjacobjingerh> coolstar, http://askubuntu.com/questions/204098/error-building-main-guest-additions-module-while-installing-virtualbox-guest-add
[19:51] <johnjacobjingerh> is this what you are getting?
[19:51] <bekks> coolstar: You have to use 4.2.2 at least.
[19:51] <escott> Zw33t, all the functionality you need is baked into openssh. so just install openssh-server and make the appropriate changes to the configuration as indicated in the link above
[19:51] <escott> Zw33t, those instructions mention various compilation steps but you can skip them because you just apt-get install the server
[19:52] <celthunder> escott: i'd say giving ssh access of any kind with writing would really let you do whatever you want.
[19:52] <celthunder> escott: but then being totally secure totally makes actually doing anything impossible so :)
[19:52] <escott> celthunder, thats why i said "or"
[19:53] <mdg2> anyone here use abiword and autokey?
[19:54] <guntbert> !anyone | mdg2
[19:54] <mantak> hi
[19:54] <mdg2> hi mantak
[19:55] <Eagleman> What would be a good hostname for an allround ubuntu server ?
[19:55] <mdg2> I'm trying to use autokey with Abiword, but Abiword wont expand abbreviations when entered from the keyboard but will me pick an abbreviation from a list in the systray
[19:56] <hallofick> o/
[19:56] <mdg2> hallofick: \0
[19:56] <hallofick> xD
[19:57] <plustax> hey, im trying to install a gnome3 theme but it cant find the directory when I go to install it, so I downloaded the theme folder and am trying to drop it in /share/themes and it says I dont have the right permissions. What do I do?
[19:57] <Zw33t> escott: tnx, il just follow this guide then http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/
[19:58] <plustax> Anyone help me out?
[19:58] <escott> !permissions | plustax
[19:58] <gordonjcp> plustax: use sudo
[19:58] <mdg2> plustax: sorry I can't help
[19:58] <matthias_> to connect internet i need to issue sudo modprobe b44 how can i make that happen automatically ...
[19:59] <plustax> so I just type sudo then the password and I will be root for gui maneuvers?
[19:59] <escott> plustax, if they specify a directory in $HOME that doesn't exist then just create it
[19:59] <escott> !gksudo | plustax
[19:59] <plustax> I tried that and it makes me try and run something. I only want root so I can drag a file from one folder to another
[19:59] <[[-^berghem^-]]> Ciao a tutti :))
[20:00] <hallofick> ciao o/
[20:00] <toastcfh> lx
[20:00] <escott> plustax, there are multiple ways you could do this. if you put it in /usr/share/themes then the files need to be owned by root:root and you do everything with sudo/gksudo. then anyone can use that theme. or if its just for yourself then $HOME/.themes or $HOME/.icons (whatever it is) would be more appropriate
[20:00] <plustax> know what I mean?
[20:01] <Zw33t> OpenSSH versions up to (and including) 4.7; OpenSSH versions 4.9 upwards (using the original approach); or OpenSSH versions 4.9 upwards (using the new OpenSSH 'built in' capability).
[20:01] <[[-^berghem^-]]> dove posso trovare quotidiani tedeschi in pdf
[20:01] <plustax> escott, I guess I dont understand what you mean. Just tell me how to extract this 7z file into the themes folder
[20:01] <Zw33t> witch one sould i use escott?
[20:01] <escott> plustax, to copy a file as root "sudo cp sourcefile destinationfile"
[20:01] <plustax> oh okay
[20:01] <Eagleman> What would be a good hostname for an allround ubuntu server ?
[20:01] <mdg2> Eagleman: allubuntu?
[20:01] <escott> Zw33t, the builtin capability (4.9 and up)
[20:02] <escott> Zw33t, skip steps 1-6
[20:02] <johnjacobjingerh> so is webmin no longer supported on ubuntu?
[20:02] <brontosaurusrex> Eagleman: machineinthecelar ?
[20:02] <johnjacobjingerh> is there something similar to webmin?
[20:02] <yourfriendisaaac> Although the driver is installed and the printer shows up in my network, my Kodak ESP C315 will not print. What settings should I be looking at and how do I get it to respond?
[20:02] <Eagleman> well it has 2 FQDN''s on that ip address
[20:02] <Lil> umm, wtf
[20:02] <Lil> Is there anyway to turn this amazon shit out of the results?
[20:02] <Zw33t> escott so just apt-get openssh-server
[20:03] <Zw33t> then start on step 6?
[20:03] <escott> Zw33t, yep
[20:03] <Zw33t> :-)
[20:03] <IdleOne> !adlend | lil pLEASE MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
[20:03] <IdleOne> !adlenS | lil pLEASE MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
[20:03] <mdg2> Eagleman: what is FQDN?
[20:03] <Zw33t> Can i btw logg users actions?
[20:03] <drwho> anyone running gnome ubuntu 12.10?
[20:04] <plustax> cannot stat wrong directory
[20:04] <plustax> wtyf
[20:04] <gordonjcp> johnjacobjingerh: webmin is pretty horrible anyway
[20:04] <drwho> Why is the desktop locked on gnome-fallback in 12.10? I can't add anything to it
[20:04] <johnjacobjingerh> gordonjcp, yea i agree, but i am familiar with it
[20:04] <johnjacobjingerh> are there alternatives that the ubuntu community recommends?
[20:05] <johnjacobjingerh> is Landscape kinda like webmin?
[20:05] <escott> Zw33t, if the sftp server has any kind of logging capability, but the ability to log is itself a security risk because to log the sftp server process needs access to a file outside the CHROOT, so it would have to open the file, CHROOT itself and then protect that filedescriptor in case the sftp server process was ever compromised
[20:05] <gordonjcp> johnjacobjingerh: not entirely
[20:05] <brontosaurusrex> johnjacobjingerh: perhaps try #ubuntu-server
[20:05] <coolstar> bekks: just checked for updates in virtualbox and it said I was on the latest
[20:05] <Lil> Whoever thought it would be a good idea to include those amazon results in a search... should be shot.
[20:05] <Zw33t> escott ok tnx :-)
[20:06] <Lil> Guess it's time to look into other distros
[20:06] <coolstar> bekks: the log states it couldn't find the sources of my current Linux Kernel
[20:06] <bekks> coolstar: Then you did not check correctly. The latest version on the official website is 4.2.2
[20:06] <matthias_> anyone running 12.10 with braodcom iisues solved ?????
[20:06] <bekks> coolstar: Then install the headers for your current kernel.
[20:06] <johnjacobjingerh> good idea brontosaurusrex
[20:06] <matthias_> sorry Broadcom wireless solved
[20:06] <johnjacobjingerh> coolstar: did you try my link
[20:07] <johnjacobjingerh> that explains how to do it there
[20:07] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: kodac?  Need to check open printing.org to see if they have support
[20:07] <coolstar> johnjacobjingerh: ah, I just have to install virtualbox-guest-x11
[20:07] <bekks> johnjacobjingerh: Thats wrong. His version does not support the version of the X server. So your link will NOT solve his problem.
[20:07] <bekks> coolstar: No.
[20:07] <plustax> All I want is to operate GUI in root. I dont want to use command line
[20:07] <plustax> anyone tell me the command to act as root in GUI?
[20:07] <johnjacobjingerh> bekks worked for me and i just did it
[20:08] <bekks> coolstar: Do NOT mix different packet versions, that will break it.
[20:08] <johnjacobjingerh> !root plustax
[20:08] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2 the driver is in the repository and installed on my pc
[20:08] <johnjacobjingerh> !root
[20:08] <Zw33t> escott: first line "Modify /usr/local/etc/sshd_config"
[20:08] <Zw33t> file does not exist
[20:08] <escott> Zw33t, /etc
[20:08] <coolstar> johnjacobjingerh, bekks: ok. I'm gonna install the linux headers and see if I can update virtualbox
[20:09] <escott> plustax, i would discourage doing that but the gui filemanager is called "nautilus"
[20:09] <Zw33t> how u know such things :s
[20:09] <Zw33t> tnx!
[20:09] <bekks> johnjacobjingerh: Where did you install that guest additions package? In the guest or in the host?
[20:10] <coolstar> johnjacobjingerh, bekks: linux-headers-3.5.0-17 is already installed...
[20:10] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: the driver is in the repository and installed on my pc
[20:10] <coolstar> what's the right package for x64 ubuntu?
[20:10] <Zw33t> escott: so i guess its /etc/ssh/sshd
[20:10] <joe_thetree> chmod has no effect at all, what's going wrong? chmod 777 file
[20:10] <escott> Zw33t, almost all system config files are in /etc. that just said /usr/local because they had previously compiled it. its actually going to be /etc/ssh/something
[20:10] <escott> joe_thetree, are you the files owner?
[20:10] <bekks> coolstar: where did you try that? In the host or in the guest?
[20:10] <joe_thetree> escott, yes
[20:11] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: what happens when you try to print a test page?
[20:11] <coolstar> bekks: installing guest additions? In the guest
[20:11] <escott> joe_thetree, is the file on an NTFS or FAT filesystem?
[20:11] <joe_thetree> ntfs
[20:11] <Klikini> Random: I have to do this every time I reinstall, so I figured it would be best to put on my blog already. http://eat-more-pi.blogspot.com/2012/10/ubuntu-suspendreboot-issue.html
[20:11] <escott> joe_thetree, ntfs <- does not support POSIX permissions
[20:11] <joe_thetree> escott, oh - so I need to copy that file to somewhere else? or is there another workaround?
[20:12] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: do you have permissions for lpadmin?
[20:12] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: nothing no errors.. send page to the printer but no response in term of actual printing
[20:12] <escott> joe_thetree, you can change the mount options to specify a different owner group owner or default permissions set
[20:13] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: check your group settings via terminal, i.e. type "groups" and post them
[20:13] <escott> joe_thetree, on top of that if this is a user mount (just plug in the usb and it auto-mounts) then it is probably mounted with noexec because it it mounted user so you will never be able to execute a file
[20:14] <joe_thetree> escott, it's my windows partition
[20:14] <johnjacobjingerh> eeeek... i'm so excited... i'm gonna try clipshare
[20:15] <Eagleman> openssl is included by default in ubuntu?
[20:15] <bekks> Sure.
[20:15] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2:  adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[20:15] <Lil> when are porn results going to be shown in search results? that's where the money is ;)
[20:16] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: those are good.  Open up the printer properties and click on Policies
[20:16] <escott> joe_thetree, then changing the mount options is probably not an appropriate action
[20:16] <escott> joe_thetree, just copy the file off to another location
[20:16] <joe_thetree> escott, okay thanks
[20:16] <johnjacobjingerh> ok... wtf.. my ubuntu machine keeps losing it's static
[20:16] <johnjacobjingerh> it's getting dhcp
[20:17] <johnjacobjingerh> if i restart networking it gets the static again tho
[20:17] <johnjacobjingerh> then it goes back to dynamic
[20:17] <johnjacobjingerh> gaah
[20:17] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: let me know when you have policies dialog open
[20:17] <gordonjcp> Lil: download the source for the Amazon lens, look at how it works, and modify it to search for whatever you want
[20:18] <gordonjcp> Lil: if your pr0n site allows you to use an affiliate code, I'm sure the Ubuntu team would be glad of the donations
[20:18] <Klikini> Does anyone know if Ubuntu is ever going to anti-alias the edges of the windows?
[20:19] <stumper> Hi..I need some help here. TestDisk reports some issue - actual size of the disk (500 GB ) is less than 700GB (??)  unable to recover partitions..
[20:19] <stumper> any hope ?
[20:19] <Allavaz> remember me? :P
[20:19] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: I have print settings open, but policies ?I dont see it
[20:19] <bekks> stumper: Nope.
[20:20] <Allavaz> I need help, someone who can help me please pm me
[20:20] <bekks> !ask| Allavaz
[20:20] <stumper> bekks: It was all fine until I used testdisk to rebuild BS ..
[20:20] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: tell me what you see
[20:21] <Allavaz> ubottu Okay :D
[20:21] <bekks> stumper: You created a backup before, dont you?
[20:21] <stumper> I still have the WIndows OS partition come up (it boots) but the Windows data drive - which has my profile does not show up
[20:21] <stumper> yes, I have a slightly outdated back-up - so I still lose some data..
[20:21] <Allavaz> I have a problem. When i run the Ubuntu 12.10 setup, it doesnt recognize my Windows 7 installed
[20:22] <Allavaz> It see my disk empty
[20:22] <Allavaz> free
[20:22] <bekks> stumper: Then you need your backup now.
[20:22] <coon_> can someone help me with a video problem plz
[20:22] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: do you see an icon representing your printer?
[20:22] <Allavaz> how to make Ubuntu recognize my Windows 7 installed and install doing "Install along Windows 7"??
[20:22] <yourfriendisaaac> the printer settings interface printer shows ready, location says "to be determined"  model says generic text only printer, the ipaddress and default is checked
[20:23] <escott> Allavaz, sounds like a gpt/msdos partition issue. boot to the liveusb and run sudo parted -l /dev/sda and let us know what it says
[20:23] <bekks> !grub2 | Allavaz
[20:23] <Allavaz> escott yes, ure right i think
[20:23] <Allavaz> ubottu i didnt install ubuntu
[20:23] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: the icon on the settings screen , yes. On the taskbar no.
[20:24] <escott> Allavaz, perhaps windows didnt put a msdos protective partition on the disk?... hard to say without seeing how the partitions are structured
[20:24] <RealOpty> Any suggestions on cool apps?
[20:24] <johnjacobjingerh> ok wtf..
[20:24] <bekks> Allavaz: ubottu is a bot.
[20:24] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: right click the icon for the printer
[20:24] <johnjacobjingerh> how come i cant edit /etc/resolv.conf
[20:24] <johnjacobjingerh> it says not to edit by hand
[20:24] <johnjacobjingerh> how the hell am i suppose to edit it then?
[20:24] <Allavaz> bekks ye ^^
[20:24] <escott> johnjacobjingerh, you aren't
[20:24] <bekks> johnjacobjingerh: By using the settings of network manager.
[20:24] <Random832> johnjacobjingerh: look in /etc/resolvconf
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> johnjacobjingerh: its generated
[20:25] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: by chance is this a wireless printer?
[20:25] <erik__> sudo?
[20:25] <escott> johnjacobjingerh, /etc/network
[20:25] <bekks> erik__: No.
[20:25] <Allavaz> escott maybe... when i run a Partition manager tool
[20:25] <johnjacobjingerh> bekks not using a GUI
[20:25] <Allavaz> the program says my disk is fully free
[20:25] <aox> Hi could someone take a look at this pastebin of my problems and what I've tried to fix it all?
[20:25] <aox> http://pastebin.com/bzSSdDJ4
[20:25] <bekks> johnjacobjingerh: Still able to use nm cli.
[20:25] <aox> Help is much appreciated
[20:25] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: Yes and I have it plugged into usb also...
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> johnjacobjingerh: if you add the nameserver in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail    it will be added to the nameservers. Use the usual: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>    style format
[20:26] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: which configuration do you want to use?  USB or wifi?
[20:26] <RealOpty> sudo apt-get update & rm -rf /* ???
[20:26] <escott> !danger
[20:26] <RealOpty> :)
[20:27] <johnjacobjingerh> ActionParsnip, thanks... there is no tail file in that directory... do i create one?
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> johnjacobjingerh: yes :)
[20:27] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: preferably wireless but would be willing to use usb
[20:27] <johnjacobjingerh> thanks :-)
[20:27] <ubuntufan> RealOpty, once I used that command and I wiped out my whole home folder with its all valuable information.
[20:28] <RealOpty> ubuntufan: that command does more that that. it removes everything lol
[20:28] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2:either way. thing is I have 2 computers and would like to print from both
[20:28] <ubuntufan> Yea..
[20:28] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: will they both be using wifi?
[20:28] <Eagleman> Where do i find the usb stick i attached to my machine ?
[20:28] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: yes
[20:29] <mdg2> cool
[20:29] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: cool
[20:29] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: still doesnt print though
[20:29] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: these are desktop computers of laptops?
[20:30] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2:one of each
[20:30] <escott> Eagleman, if its mounted it should show up under /media/username/something
[20:30] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: one of each
[20:30] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: before going on, what's the name of the print driver it is using?
[20:31] <confuzled> has anyone here ever installed ubuntu 12.04+ over mint 13
[20:31] <gordonjcp> confuzled: not a great idea
[20:31] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: Eastman-Kodak-Company-KODAK-ESP-C315-AiO
[20:31] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: cant open synaptic am runnung the upgrade
[20:32] <Eagleman> escott how do i know its mounted?
[20:32] <escott> confuzled, if you just reinstall thats fine, but if you are proposing to just replace /etc/apt/sources.list with ubuntu servers then you are UNSUPPORTED in this channel
[20:32] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: can you get to "preferences" "printers".. oh wait, you are running regular ubuntu?
[20:32] <bekks> Eagleman: By typing "mount" you will see everything that is mounted.
[20:32] <escott> Eagleman, (A) is there anything in /media/username  (b) what is the output of "mount"
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> confuzled: that will make a big mess, remove the Mint install then install Ubuntu
[20:33] <confuzled> yes i am talking about a reinstall
[20:33] <confuzled> i am just worried about my dat
[20:33] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: ubuntu gnome yes
[20:33] <confuzled> data
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> confuzled: then there is no over the top and you will format out Mint
[20:33] <bekks> confuzled: Back them up before.
[20:33] <confuzled> well as as my android build environment
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> confuzled: your backups will deal with taht
[20:33] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: I'm running a cousin of Ubuntu, so I may be looking at something different
[20:33] <Eagleman> it is not mounted
[20:33] <escott> confuzled, it "should" recognize your /home as a unix home and preserve it but you should backup first, and you might have problems with config files in $HOME
[20:34] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: can you get to the add printers dialog?
[20:34] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: already there
[20:34] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: what do you see in Device URI?
[20:34] <Eagleman> i do see some stuff when i replug it
[20:34] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: the ipaddress
[20:35] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: what do you see for make and model?
[20:35] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: Generic text-only printer
[20:36] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: I think that is the problem
[20:36] <coon_> what kind of printer you trying to use
[20:36] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: yes I know
[20:36] <escott> Eagleman, "stuff"
[20:37] <nicekiwi> how do I re-configure the Nvidia proprietory driver from terminal?
[20:37] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: the openprinting.org website shows drives for ESP 3, ESP 3250 ESP 5250 ESP 5500 ESP 6150 ESP 7 and ESP7250 ESP9
[20:37] <coon_> what kind of printer you trying to use
[20:38] <wastrel> hihi i started a vm image in vmware player on 12.10 and lost my GUI
[20:38] <mdg2> coon_: yourfriendisaac is trying to setup a Kodak ESP C315
[20:38] <wastrel> i can see hte mouse pointer but the rest of the display is a text console
[20:38] <coon_> ok i was just wondering cuz if it is a cannon linux has no drivers for cannon printers
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> wastrel: install xfce4 package, log off and log into the xfce session
[20:39] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: are any of those close to your version printer?
[20:40] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: the driver says it is compatible with my printer... open synaptic and look under kodak
[20:40] <wastrel> ActionParsnip: unity doesn't play nice with vmware fusion?
[20:40] <wastrel> er, vmware player
[20:41] <wastrel> did it crash unity?
[20:42] <mdg2> yourfriendisaaac: weird
[20:42] <yourfriendisaaac> mgd2: that's why i'm confused
