[08:39] <ironm> these configs worked (for some reason) after I have installed ethtool and ifenslave (testing the interface bonding with ifenslave)
[08:39] <ikonia> ironm: ahh was it you I was talking to yesterday about bonding without ifenslave
[08:40] <Guest1> anybody here have expiriance with ubuntu installations?
[08:40] <ironm> ikonia, another thing. I use Xtreme X450a-48t switch cluster. Do you have some experience with Xtreme ?
[08:40] <ironm> ikonia,  yes .. it was me
[08:40] <ikonia> ironm: I've no experience with xtreme sorry
[08:41] <ironm> no problem .. I test first with cisco
[08:41] <[omicron]> hi all guys
[08:41] <ironm> ikonia, however I don't test it with 802.3ad yet
[08:41] <nicekiwi> Onkeltem: random. installed DVD codecs and now VLC plays it.. somehow thought VLC didnt need them..
[08:41]  * nicekiwi feels a lil silly
[08:43] <[omicron]> i'm trying to install pessulus using apt but it says there is no package available... I can see it in ubuntu repositories (trough web browser or ftp client)
[08:43] <[omicron]> any idea?
[08:43] <llutz_> !info pessulus
[08:43] <[omicron]> !info pessulus
[08:43] <[omicron]> xD
[08:43] <MonkeyDust> !find pessulus
[08:47] <nicekiwi> !meow
[08:47] <nicekiwi> lol
[08:49] <peetaur> !moo
[08:49] <[omicron]> apt is fucking me :)
[08:49] <peetaur> I guess ubottu has no super cow powers.
[08:49] <[omicron]> i installed ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu but there is no package called pessulus on it
[08:50] <MonkeyDust> [omicron]  no so language here, please
[08:50] <[omicron]> ok, sorry
[08:50] <Guest1> ubuntu cant be installed on NTFS?
[08:50] <MonkeyDust> [omicron]  in a terminal, type apt-cache show pessulus and see what it says
[08:51] <llutz_> [omicron]: dpkg -L ubiquity-slideshow-edubuntu|grep pessulus              thers just a file with that name most likely
[08:51] <[omicron]> no packages found, of course
[08:51] <k1l> Guest1: dont use ntfs. it has no rightsmanagement.
[08:51] <llutz_> Guest1: no it can't (except using wubi....)
[08:51] <[omicron]> using apt-file it says the package is on *slideshow*edubuntu (and i installed it)
[08:51] <MonkeyDust> [omicron]  it says "N: Can't select versions from package 'pessulus' as it is purely virtual"
[08:52] <[omicron]> yes
[08:52] <Guest1> so, will it be able to read my external drives, which are ntfs?
[08:52] <SwedeMike> k1l: if you by rights management mean user access permissions, then your statement is incorrect. You're probably thinking of FAT.
[08:52] <llutz_> Guest1: yes
[08:52] <k1l> Guest1: its ok for data partitions.
[08:53] <Guest1> I chose ext2, was and it seems to be installing......this is day 1 of trying to install ubuntu. Been trying to install it for 8 hours now
[08:53] <MonkeyDust> Guest1  choose ext4
[08:54] <Guest1> whats the difference between ext2 and ext4?
[08:54] <k1l> SwedeMike: simplified, yes
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> Guest1  ext4 is newer than ext2
[08:55] <Arash> hello , I want to report a problem
[08:55] <reisio> Guest1: and much faster and more suitable
[08:55] <reisio> Arash: yes?
[08:55] <Arash> I have a Wired connection and connected via VPN ,
[08:55] <Arash> in connection info
[08:55] <Arash> VPN Connection 1
[08:55] <Arash> shows the wrong IP Address
[08:55] <FloodBot1> Arash: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> Arash  in 1 line, please
[08:56]  * reisio headdesks
[08:56] <reisio> Arash: wrong as in at odds with... what, exactly?
[08:56] <Arash> ok sry , my VPN Connection ip address is actually 10.0.0.x but It shows <IP_ADDRESS> which is my Wired connection's address
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> Arash  it's because the connection has been set to bridged, instead of NAT
[08:57] <Arash> hmmm what do you mean ?
[08:57] <Arash> the vpn server's in my hands and Its NAT
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> Arash  'bridged' makes a logical bridge to your existing network 192....., NAT does not (network address translation)
[08:58] <Arash> how can I set It to nat ?
[08:59] <MonkeyDust> dunno, havent used VPN, i know it from vbox
[09:00] <Arash> hmm I still think Its a GUI problem
[09:00] <Arash> what command equals ipconfig ?
[09:00] <llutz_> Arash: ifconfig
[09:00] <BlueEagle> I see that NetBeans 7.0.1 has been slaughtered in the reviews. Is it just as bad in Xubuntu as in Ubuntu, where I assume it was mostly used?
[09:00] <Arash> ppp0 - inetaddr : <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:01] <Arash> eth0 : ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:01] <llutz_> Arash: thats your vpn-connection
[09:01] <llutz_> ppp0*
[09:01] <Arash> yes but the problem is these details don't show on connection information
[09:01] <Arash> VPN Connection 1 & Wired Connection 1 both show ip address <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:01] <Arash> which as I said , must be a GUI Problem
[09:04] <peetaur> Can someone tell me how to max my single threaded 10 Gbps network speed?
[09:05] <ikonia> transfer data
[09:05] <SwedeMike> peetaur: there are a lot of academic projects that need this, with open documentation, I suggest you start looking for that.
[09:06] <SwedeMike> peetaur: look for instance for "tcp tuning" that is a good start
[09:07] <SwedeMike> peetaur: http://datatag.web.cern.ch/datatag/howto/tcp.html might be a good start to see what's involved.
[09:08] <vampirnata> I'm hoping someone can help. I am running byobu and the ctrl-a-! shortcut to disable byobu shortcut keys is not doing anything... any ideas?
[09:13] <peetaur> okay, ty SwedeMike
[09:13] <peetaur> lots of tunables to play with...
[09:13] <soa2ii> Hi. I installed 12.04 on a Dell notebook here (amd64 x2). It looks like that it's getting hotter and hotter during cpu intensive tasks and finally just goes out. Are there some ACPI features or whatever that are missing in a normal 12.04 installation?
[09:14] <Guest1> I've been trying to install ubuntu for 8 hours now.........why is this so hard??? Here's the latest error "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again"
[09:14] <peetaur> Do you also know a good way to test? I tried iperf, which always shows way higher speeds (nearly 10 Gbps). And I tried netcat over the pipe which is a bit random, between 560 - 750 MB/s... tests are stable and then change 5 min later. 550, 545, 570 ... 5 min later 610 620 590 etc
[09:15] <soa2ii> Guest1: 12.04? Which version? What hardware?
[09:15] <SwedeMike> peetaur: I've used iperf myself, but I haven't done that much testing. This was on hw a few years old as well, it wasn't able to saturate 10GbE
[09:16] <Guest1> a compaq presario, 2.14Ghz, 2GB ram and yes 12.04
[09:16] <ironm> it looks like I have the reason. ubuntu native ifenslave (in case there is one) doesn't understand the syntax in "interfaces". First after installing ifenslave2.6 it started to work. ... ikonia, probably you can see more than me ... do you have any idea why following configs don't work on fresh installed ubuntu-server 12.04? ... bonding-ubuntu.confs - http://paste.debian.net/175789/
[09:16] <Jacta> Anyone here using pidgin that have themed the chatbox with a theme?
[09:16] <peetaur> I can get 911 MB/s if I do 2 netcats in parallel, and 1700 MB with 4 (dual port with 2 netcats each).  Commands are like: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M | nc host port  and  nc -l port >/dev/null
[09:18] <peetaur> (also tested with /dev/shm and it is the same speed as /dev/zero)
[09:19] <Guest1> soa2ii a compaq presario, 2.14Ghz, 2GB ram and yes 12.04
[09:21] <ironm> m477, hallo AGH :)
[09:23] <Guest1> does anybody here have expiriance with installing ubuntu?
[09:24] <bullium> d
[09:25] <k1l> Guest1: sure
[09:27] <k1l> Guest1: you can load the live-system and test ubuntu or install it from the live system. if you encounter problems make sure the iso wasnt corrupt. if there are hardware issues you could try the alternate-installer
[09:28] <X-tonic> why does firefox in ubuntu, no use its standard UI, but mix it up with its own tango icons?
[09:29] <Guest1> whats the alternate-installer?
[09:30] <oCean> !alternate | Guest1
[09:31] <Guest1> I'll try that if this fails
[09:32] <Guest1> well, I'll try it tomarrow. Its 5:30am and I've been at this since 9pm
[09:33] <Guest1> ok, it loaded through to the desktop, but the cursor is just a circular loading symbal, and its been going for some time now........how long do I wait until I say its not going to finish?
[09:38] <Mr> how can i make that the clook shows: Weekday /date/  hours/min./sec (12.04. gnome classic)??
[09:39] <Asmir> Hello all
[09:39] <dr_willis> hiddy hoo
[09:40] <phanindraramesh> hai all. when ever I open a text file in kde, it is opening along with another empty text document. how can I avoid it?
[09:40] <Asmir> was wondering if I could get some help, I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but failing in doing so
[09:41] <dr_willis> Asmir:  what the exact failure?
[09:42] <Asmir> well I tried installing with wubi, goes to restart, starts loading ubuntu screen and get a message: Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/some numbers doesn't exist
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[09:43] <Asmir> when I try to install with cd in booting into live cd and then installing, I always get error message root folder something
[09:43] <Asmir> I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact I am running raid 0 ssd
[09:44] <Asmir> and I have win 7 ultimate, so I want to dual boot it
[09:44] <Guest1> asmir, I got that message, what I did to solve it was change the installation partition to .ext4 and change the boot to /
[09:45] <Asmir> so should I create new partition in win 7, format it to ext4 and then try to install it like that?
[09:45] <dr_willis> i dont even use raid enough to advise.. other then to say.... backup everything ;)
[09:46] <reisio> casual radi usage is asking for trouble, even with raid 0 being a waste of time aside
[09:46] <reisio> casual raid*
[09:46] <Asmir> because I tried to create new partition with ext3 in windows (my partitioning sw doesn't have ext4 option) but when I run wubi, it is not in the list of disks
[09:46] <dr_willis> i always keep my linux installs on their own hard drives  makes life easier
[09:46] <phanindraramesh> hai all. when ever I open a text file in kde, it is opening along with another empty text document. how can I avoid it?
[09:46] <reisio> Asmir: Wubi installs into a _file_ inside Windows' own NTFS partition/filesystem
[09:46] <dr_willis> wubi dosent use disks. it makes its own hd image4 file.]
[09:46] <reisio> Asmir: you'd have to boot up to the install media to install to a separate partition space
[09:47] <Guest1> well, everybody has told me to not use wubi, to use the cd
[09:47] <Asmir> yeah, I tried that reisio, but when I try to install, it gives me error something like root folder not defined
[09:48] <reisio> Asmir: well I'm afraid that's too vague to get any help
[09:48] <k1l> well, wubi uses the space in the windows partition. but that causes some problems when windows does some changes. so IMHO in the longterm you should go with a "real" installation and not wubi
[09:49] <dr_willis> wubi on a raid. may mean it cant see the raid since windows is using special drivers to access tghe raid..
[09:49] <dr_willis> wubi gets the thumbs down here also...
[09:49] <Asmir> yeah, I guess I should unraid the ssd disks, and use one for win and one for ubuntu
[09:49] <dr_willis> id reccomend installing linux to a 8gb or bigger flash  drive.. over using wwubi...
[09:49] <dr_willis> ssd raids.. just seems overkill.
[09:50] <Asmir> yeah, could do that I guess, I left my 16 gb usb flash at work, damn it
[09:50] <Asmir> and I guess I cannot unraid ssds without loosing win 7 installation?
[09:50] <dr_willis> got a 32gb flash for under $30 the other day ;0
[09:50] <Guest1> gah! this latest install didnt work either. Now I get the message Try (hd0,0): Fat32 : error: "prefix" is not set
[09:50] <dr_willis> no idea. i dont use raids in windows. or linux
[09:50] <reisio> Asmir: would make it more complicated, anyways
[09:50] <dr_willis> see way way  way too many raid issues in this channel to  mess eith them. ;)
[09:51] <lucian> i just installed ubuntu 12.04 on an eee pc and it was fine. but now when it boots, i get a blank screen and the boot sound
[09:51] <reisio> lucian: can you hit CTRL+ALT+F2 to get to a console?
[09:51] <BlueEagle> lucian: Try disabling boot splash.
[09:51] <lucian> reisio: no
[09:51] <Asmir> anyway, thanks, I will try to unraid the ssds and do the dual install
[09:51] <lucian> and if i go to recovery mode, then normal boot, only half the screen works and there's graphical corruption
[09:52] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[09:52] <lucian> i'll try that, if i can get to a console
[09:52] <Asmir> one more question, if I do dual install, one disk for win and one for ubuntu, would I be able to use ubuntu disk to install like triple boot with win, ubuntu and e.g. kubuntu?
[09:52] <mi3> I have installed cairo-dock and am running it with no effects, when I hover down the mouse at the bottom of the window, the dock does not appear, I have enabled the setting, still it wont work, any suggestions ?
[09:52] <reisio> Asmir: yup
[09:52] <BlueEagle> lucian: Do you get the grub boot menu?
[09:53] <reisio> Asmir: you can also try KDE and Unity (GNOME 3) from a single Ubuntu install
[09:53] <dr_willis> Asmir:  no ned to install kubuntu in its own partition. you can have both desktops on a single ubuntu install
[09:53] <lucian> BlueEagle: yeah, and the purple tinted blank screen afterwards. then it's black + boot sound
[09:53] <BlueEagle> lucian: Then edit the default boot entry and remove splash.
[09:53] <lucian> BlueEagle: and if i go through recovery mode, i get the graphical corruptions
[09:53] <lucian> BlueEagle: i think i might have to use the live usb for that
[09:53] <Asmir> ah I see, last time I used ubuntu was 2005, so lots has changed :D
[09:53] <dr_willis> Asmir:  actually it was the same in 2005... ;)
[09:53] <BlueEagle> lucian: No, you press E to edit and then find the LINUX line and go to the end of that and remove where it sais -splash
[09:54] <dr_willis> Asmir:  linux has supported multiable desktops since its been out.
[09:54] <Asmir> well I didn't have ssd back in 2005 :D
[09:54] <lucian> BlueEagle: ah
[09:54]  * dr_willis misses what ssd's have to do with Kubuntu and Ubuntu ;)
[09:55] <Asmir> the problems I am having I meant :)
[09:55] <dr_willis> install ubuntu, install kubuntu-desktop package. select desktop at the login screen.
[09:55] <Asmir> because in 2005 did dual boot with no problem :)
[09:55] <lucian> BlueEagle: I removed the work "splash" from the line, i get the same thing
[09:55] <dr_willis> i imagine the raid is the issue.. not the ssds
[09:56] <Asmir> yeah, damn, didn't want to install win 7 all over again, will try to search if its possible to unraid without loosing wini 7 install, but I doubt it
[09:56] <Asmir> or I might just go ubuntu all the way and piss on win 7 :D
[09:56] <maciej_> maciek
[09:56] <maciej_> hi
[09:57] <seb_> Why speak french  here ?
[09:57] <maciej_> no
[09:57] <hello_hi> hi room Q: animated character on ubuntu desktop , possible? url ?
[09:57] <seb_> :(
[09:57] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  clarify what you mean...
[09:58] <Asmir> anyway, thanks guys, you have been most helpful
[09:58] <hello_hi> dr_willis : plz don't think i am a pervert or something but i am talking something like www.virtuagirl.com except i want to modify it to make a chat bot
[09:58] <LjL> !fr | seb_
[09:58] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  check out 'hotbabe' in the medibuntu repos perhaps.
[09:59] <sagarchalise> hi guys it is not a ubuntu specific question per say but i need to echo a command from bash script which includes something like `geany -g $PROJECT_PATH$GEANY_DIR$GEANY_TAGS$PROJECT_NAME'.'$FILETYPES'.tags' $(find $LIBRARY_PATH -name '*.$FILETYPES')` with proper variable replacement how do I do that
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> hotbabe is no longer there, already checked
[10:00] <Guest1> Try (hd0,0): Fat32 : error: "prefix" is not set
[10:00] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  weird.. i installed it just last week i belive
[10:00] <Guest1> what does this mean?
[10:00] <Onkeltem> Would you recommend a e-reading application for Ubuntu which supports integration with dictionaries? I need click-on-a-word-to-translate function?
[10:00] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  i find with complex bash lines like that.. start small , test it. expand it..
[10:01] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  use of $() instead of the backticks is also  easier to read
[10:01] <MonkeyDust> dr_willis  yes, but *you* are a geek, you find ways ;)
[10:01] <hello_hi> dr_willis i remember using hotbabe its very old and cartoon , whereas virtuagirl is very realistic and has more options
[10:01] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  and you may be using single quotes when you need to be using doublle quotes
[10:01] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  just endalbed gthe repo and insgtalled it...
[10:01] <lucian> BlueEagle: yeah, same thing regardless of splash or acpi settings in boot
[10:02] <reisio> Guest1: probably that GRUB is confused about what you want to boot
[10:02] <BlueEagle> lucian: After you edited the line did you press F10 to boot or did you press ESC+Enter?
[10:02] <lucian> BlueEagle: F10
[10:02] <Guest1> reisio How do I tell it I want to boot ubuntu on the 2nd partition?
[10:03] <BlueEagle> lucian: Try adding this then: nomodeset
[10:03] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  but both do the same core thing.. displays images on the desktop. i dont know what you are reallly looking for a premade app to do it all? or source code to start as a base to write your own..
[10:04] <dr_willis> hello_hi:  there may be google gadgets  tha t might acomplis similer tasks also.
[10:04] <lucian> BlueEagle: not it boots to the login screen, but only half the screen is used, and there are graphical corruptions
[10:05] <dr_willis> lucian:  the whole screen works in the bios menus?
[10:05] <BlueEagle> lucian: So removing splash and setting nomodeset doesn't fix it... Then I am not sure what to try next, sorry. :(
[10:05] <lucian> s/not/now/
[10:05] <g3orge> .quit
[10:05] <LjL> Onkeltem: Calibre has dict.org lookup, but as far as i can see it's only English-English
[10:05] <hello_hi> dr_wilis bundle of thanks . first i want to find my desried app which looks realistic like virtua and its sourcecode then willl try to make a chat bot out of it
[10:05] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: what I want is the command not to execute but just echo but its executing
[10:05] <BlueEagle> lucian: Do you have a camera so you can take a picture of the graphical corruption. The nature of it may help determine teh cause.
[10:05] <lucian> dr_willis: yes, and it also did using the live usb. but it had the same issue on the screen where you get to choose before "try ubuntu" and "install"
[10:06] <lucian> BlueEagle: i'll try to make a video
[10:06] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  just echo the whole line.. use single quotes to prevent bash-expansion of the variables around the whole line.. i belive...
[10:06] <BlueEagle> lucian: even better. Make sure to include some full frontal nudity as well! :D
[10:07] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  not on a ubuntu box to test but similer to..    echo ' this $VARIABLE is not parsed'
[10:07] <dr_willis> but...
[10:07] <iceroot> what is the best way to sync a folder (200 files, ~100mb) between different ubuntu-pcs, smartphone and a windows-pc? ubuntu-one? or do we have other options too?
[10:07] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  not on a ubuntu box to test but similer to..    echo "this $VARIABLE IS parsed"
[10:07] <dr_willis> iceroot:  ubuntuone works very well
[10:10] <dr_willis> plus its 5gb for free. ;)
[10:10] <iceroot> dr_willis: but a cloud for critical data...
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> iceroot  there's also dropbox and minus https://minus.com/pages/help
[10:10] <dr_willis> iceroot:  if its critical. you should have redundant copies...
[10:10] <busfahrer> Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and a pretty default install of that. I used CompizConfig to configure it so that when I move the mouse to the bottom left corner, all the currently windows are exposed so I can pick one of them. This works, but when I log out and back in, it doesn't work anymore. When I check, the setting is still there, but it's being ignored. Any way to fix this?
[10:10] <iceroot> dr_willis: critical like "passwords"
[10:10] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: the first part of command echoes but it has nested find command which executes
[10:10] <dr_willis> iceroot:  its a bit vage as to why/what you are wanting to do exactly
[10:10] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: how do i echo the nested command as well
[10:10] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  add another  layer of ' '
[10:10] <dr_willis> around the whole thing perhaps.
[10:10] <iceroot> dr_willis: sync keepass-files between different devices for example
[10:10] <dr_willis> my 'critical' data  - are pictures  of the grandkids... ;P
[10:11] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: it echoes with the variable name rather than the variable value on nested thing if i add quotes
[10:11] <dr_willis> sagarchalise:  i thought that was what you wanted.. nothing expanede to the value.
[10:12] <lucian> dr_willis: BlueEagle: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/317039/VID_20120622_110931.m4v
[10:12] <VectorX> hi, i changed the LightDM.conf to try multiseat and something went wrong, so i booted a live cd and reverted the file back to original, i am not getting the display back on, is there somethiong else i need to fix ?
[10:12] <lucian> dr_willis: BlueEagle: and it doesn't just happen in lightdm, i get the same behaviour after i log in
[10:13] <lucian> but it did work fine from the liveusb
[10:13] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: geany -g /home/sagar/Projects/nlocate/.geany/tags/djangotoolbox.py.tags $(find $LIBRARY_PATH -name "*.$FILETYPES") I would want those $variables to rreplace as well
[10:14] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: those inside find
[10:14] <skramer_> busfahrer: I also found the same problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 box. To get it working, I have to start CCSM, uncheck the settings related to screen corners & then re-enable them. However, some reboots it works fine & sometimes you have  to go back to CCSM...
[10:15] <dr_willis> bbl gotta head home.
[10:16] <sagarchalise> dr_willis: finally found out what my problem was thank for the help
[10:16] <busfahrer> skramer_: Yeah I know about that workaround. I don't want to set the setting each time. No fix?
[10:16] <BlueEagle> lucian: Well it definetly looks like a graphics driver error... And pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 doesn't give you a text terminal? What does it give you then?
[10:16] <lucian> BlueEagle: it does now, with nomodeset
[10:16] <lucian> terminal looks fine
[10:17] <BlueEagle> lucian: Ok, then you want to stop the login manager and simply run startx from the console.
[10:17] <skramer_> busfahrer: unfortunately not. But do you have to set these settings each time you log in?
[10:17] <Onkeltem> LjL: its odd to get into such a trouble on a Desktop - not finding a reading application with translation abilities :) Even my android phone can do this.
[10:18] <skramer_> busfahrer: myself, I found that it sometimes works without problems & sometimes I need the workaround...
[10:19] <lucian> BlueEagle: that seems to work perfectly! should i just replace lightdm with gdm or something?
[10:19] <BlueEagle> lucian: It is worth a shot.
[10:21] <sourcer_> hello
[10:21] <sourcer_> I'm having some problems connecting to samba from windows, can anyone give me some tips ?
[10:22] <BlueEagle> sourcer_: Try posting any error messages you may be receiving.
[10:22] <BlueEagle> sourcer_: Also make sure you have a samba user account on the server for whom ever you are trying to log in.
[10:22] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
[10:23] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: I did a smbpasswd -a my_username
[10:23] <sourcer_> and restarted samba
[10:23] <lucian> BlueEagle: ah, sadly gdm has graphical corruption too
[10:24] <sourcer_> I tried almost everything I found online
[10:24] <BlueEagle> lucian: Then you can drop the login manager all together I guess.
[10:24] <lucian> BlueEagle: it does use more of the screen, i guess
[10:24] <sourcer_> lucian: romanian ?
[10:24] <lucian> sourcer_: as it happens, yes
[10:24] <BlueEagle> sourcer_: When you log in do you use servername\username or just username?
[10:25] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: I edited windows Credentials and put in only the username
[10:25] <sourcer_> initialy it was using WINDOWS-PC\username
[10:26] <BlueEagle> try servername\username instead. See if that helps
[10:27] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: now it's saying that I do not have permision to access \\SERVERNAME
[10:29] <X-tonic> how do i search archives on http://planet.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:30] <sirriffsalot> Supposing I have a computer that has several spaces for hard disks... is it possible to transfer data between two having connected them in the same computer?
[10:31] <lucian> BlueEagle: xdm appears to work. butt ugly, but works
[10:31] <jrib> sirriffsalot: of course
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, how would I go about doing this then? Using ubuntu on both:P
[10:32] <jrib> sirriffsalot: boot your system, click on the hard drive in nautilus, copy and paste
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> Wtf?
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, nothing more?
[10:32] <jrib> sirriffsalot: nope
[10:32] <sirriffsalot> jrib, now that I'm so used to a challenge in linux, this was disappointing:D
[10:33] <sirriffsalot> jrib, cheers then:)
[10:33] <jrib> sirriffsalot: if you can't find the hard disk (it used to get displayed in the sidebar), you can usually find the partitions mounted in /media
[10:33] <BlueEagle> lucian: Well, I'm not one for eye candy myself. :P
[10:34] <lucian> BlueEagle: hmm, 3d stuff is also off. at least it's using unity2d
[10:34] <lucian> not great
[10:37] <dddbmt> Hey guys. My Spotify client suddenly start crashing when starting up. If I do "strace -e spotify" it ends with a "Segmentatin fault".
[10:37] <dddbmt> Any ideas?
[10:40] <BlueEagle> !msg | sourcer_
[10:40] <geirha> dddbmt: Not much #ubuntu can help you with I think. Spotify is non-free, so you'll have to report that bug to spotify.
[10:41] <dddbmt> geirha, Alright, I'll try #spotify first and then send a bug-report - thanks :)
[10:41] <sourcer_> BlueEagle: sorry for that, you know any other things that I could try ?
[10:42] <BlueEagle> sourcer_: Apart from re-reading the documentation and starting from scratch, nope.
[10:42] <BlueEagle> lucian: That may indicate a broken 3d-driver. Try looking for an upgrade.
[10:43] <lucian> BlueEagle: it's a fresh install
[10:43] <BlueEagle> lucian: Which is why looking for an upgrade is a good idea.
[10:44] <BlueEagle> lucian: If it doesn't work out of the box it may need to be fixed. :)
[10:45] <sirriffsalot> jrib, yeah, that much I've gotten the hang of:) Cheers

[10:49] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there and hit paste, when the page changes, copy the new URL in the address bar and paste it here
[10:49] <iceroot> hello_hi: you cant use a windows screensaver inside the real ubuntu system, just running it with wine in the own wine desktop

[10:52] <cotigao_> hi
[10:52] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, kidding actually... I did google but I kept finding ones that didn't work.
[10:52] <cotigao_> i have written a small test application..
[10:52] <cotigao_> i created the necessary .desktop file & added the entry in /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/
[10:52] <cotigao_>  i can see my app listed in under the "chat" icon in the tab
[10:52] <cotigao_> but i was wondering how can  i show some messages under the my app
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: what browsers have yu tested
[10:52] <jrib> Roasted: you should probably change /.JPG/ to /.JPG$/ in case you have files named like: AJPG.JPG :)
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: try duckduckgo too, different results
[10:53] <jrib> Roasted: you should probably change /.JPG/ to /\.JPG$/ in case you have files named like: AJPG.JPG :)
[10:53] <cotigao_> for eg. for empathy/pidgin, the icon turns blue & shows the incoming message's ID name

[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Ny0: then reboot
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> jgrep: why do I need that?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> zveda: windows won't run in Wine, you need virtualbox
[11:06] <Mr> ActionParsnip: how does the date comand works.?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Mr: read the man page
[11:06] <zveda> uits not windows
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> zveda: "zveda> i have this windows cd

 cd with windows stuff on it
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> zveda: what other conclusion can I draw?
[11:07] <Ny0> ActionParsnip: ok, done i reboot tnx
[11:07] <zveda> my next line see
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> zveda: check the appdb for compatibility

[11:07] <oupateddie> ActionParsnip - This is a result http://pastie.org/4131624
[11:07] <zveda> it's some medical cd
[11:08]  * rainbowwarrior2 bashes head on laptop
[11:08] <senotem> zveda: better use virtualbox
[11:08] <zveda> hm.. but I have very limited downloads
[11:09] <zveda> and I dont have a windows cd to install
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> zveda: then you'll just have to try, install wine and it will pull in a decent version
[11:10] <aaa> my machine gets stuck a few times a week. how can i diagnose the problem?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[11:11] <Ny0> bye
[11:11] <fidel> aaa: can you login via ssh to that box if it is 'stuck'
[11:11] <fidel> or in other words - could you define 'stuck'
[11:11] <reisio> fidel: little proof he can even respond to a question as yet
[11:13] <rainbowwarrior2> hello , i am running Ubuntu 12.04 Lts on a compaq cq60 laptop with a Nvidia MCP77/78 sound card and my sound has stopped working, anyone got any idea how i can fix this please ?
[11:13] <aaa> it's tsuck , so the mouse and keyboard don't respond. i don't know what is ssh, but without keyboard and mouse i can't do anything...
[11:14] <aaa> it's get stuck while only aMule is active
[11:14] <fidel> aaa: you could try pressing: 'ctrl' + 'alt'+'f1' next time to see if the box reacts on that ....but this makes only sense if you are used to tty/terminal
[11:14] <senotem> try to update aMule
[11:14] <senotem> or google for such a problem
[11:15] <emillo> hello, I have a problem with fonts in libreoffice documents: all is good under gnome/unity, but in wmaker the fonts are rendered not as good inside the document
[11:15] <reisio> emillo: use gnome/unity
[11:15] <emillo> screenshot http://gnufunk.org/~emillo/oognome.png
[11:15] <aaa> what is tty/terminal? ctrl+alt+f12 didn't respond last time
[11:15] <emillo> http://gnufunk.org/~emillo/oowmaker.png
[11:15] <reisio> aaa: try F2, and try another nick name
[11:15] <emillo> reisio: it's too slow
[11:16] <reisio> emillo: try Xfce, then
[11:16] <lucian> BlueEagle: you were right, lightdm appears to work now
[11:16] <emillo> reisio: no hopes for wmaker?
[11:16] <bestdnd> that nick is better?
[11:17] <quixotedon> bestdnd: have you tried logging as a different user ? (as said by reisio)
[11:17] <reisio> emillo: you'd have to learn the dark arts of manual text rendering configuration
[11:17] <reisio> bestdnd: infinintely
[11:17] <reisio> and also infinitely
[11:18] <bestdnd> i only have one user. should i make a new one?
[11:18] <quixotedon> bestdnd: no, u don't have to, try logging as a guest
[11:18] <osirisx11> hi, could someone please help me figure out what happened to a pet bug, 974905? i JUST got an email about it, but when I went to the URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974905 it is a 404
[11:18] <bestdnd> i can't know i advance that it crashes, it can take a few days
[11:19] <emillo> reisio: thanks
[11:20] <oupateddie> ActionParsnip	 still not working... shows File: libflashplayer.so as the installed plugin
[11:20] <quixotedon> bestdnd: so, can u try again?
[11:22] <JLuc> Hello
[11:22] <JLuc> i'm going to install ubuntu with dual boot on a brand new Windows 7
[11:22] <rethus> someone run xvidcap on 12.04?
[11:22] <JLuc> i wish to share datas on a special partition
[11:22] <rethus> which sound device have i to choose, to record audio?
[11:22] <JLuc> and i wonder how big has ubuntu partition to be ?
[11:23] <bestdnd> my user works for a few days, and suddenly gets stuck. while it's stuck, i can't switch user, and after a reset, my user works again until the next time. i can copy my data to a new user, and work on it, but it will take a few days until its gets stuck again
[11:23] <geirha> JLuc: Depends on how much you'll be using it, but 30GB should be more than enough for the system itself. I wouldn't go much lower than 10G though
[11:23] <oupateddie> ActionParsnip it seems when I run Opera which uses that same plugins set as Firefox, is retursn with a plugin has crashed.
[11:24] <quixotedon> bestdnd: ok, so, your app might be a problem, have you tried upgrading it?
[11:24] <quixotedon> bestdnd: anyway, what version are you using?
[11:24] <JLuc> ok geirha does that include programs  too ?
[11:24] <JLuc> on this other computer where i am now all files except home folder occupy 382Go !!!
[11:25] <bestdnd> amule 2.3.1 on ubuntu 12.04. it doesnt update itself with the regular updates?
[11:25] <JLuc> si i am a bit worried...
[11:25] <JLuc> and dont know  if 30Go will be fit
[11:26] <geirha> JLuc: Yes, if you install alot of applications, you'll likely hit 10GB
[11:26] <wookienz_> guys i need some help trouble shooting a computer or router issue. When i ssh , scp, ftp the computer stalls. I have tried without the router and it works fine. However with a router and it initially starts at a huge pace then dies. Router is Cisco e4200 with dd-wrt. Where do i start?
[11:26] <JLuc> Is it possible to change the data partition later once ubuntu has allready run ?
[11:26] <geirha> JLuc: The main space usage for an Ubuntu system is stuff like music and photos, but if you have a shared ntfs drive for that...
[11:27] <jiohdi> JLuc, possible yes, dangerous, maybe
[11:27] <JLuc> ok
[11:27] <JLuc> so i have to compute how much space is needed and organise things now
[11:28] <oupateddie> ActionParsnip : It seems as if Chrome has a different flash player.  I have a number of site which uses flash which I use to get information from and now they all seem to not work
[11:29] <bestdnd> used "sudo apt-get update" to update everything. amule version didn't change
[11:29] <jiohdi> oupateddie, you can down load a tar.gz from adobe... then just copy the lib. into /usr/share or some other shared folder and it tends to work
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> oupateddie: I always clean install, fewer issues :)
[11:30] <jiohdi> oupateddie, there is a mozilla folder you can drop it into that seems to let everything share it as well
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: did you run:  sudo apt-get upgrade    afterwards?
[11:30] <IdleOne> bestdnd, apt-get update only updates, you need to use sudo apt-get upgrade to actually upgrade the available packages
[11:31] <oupateddie> jiohdi thanks let me see as it is a bugger now.... that mozilla folder is that a dot folder in the home folder?
[11:31] <bestdnd> doing it now
[11:31] <JLuc> is it safer to resize the partitions later on jiohdi ? (than to change the data's partition)
[11:32] <reisio> "change the data's partition"?
[11:33] <JLuc> specify a special partition for datas
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: update only rereads the repos, which will see new versions of packages if there are any updates, upgrade wil install them
[11:33] <JLuc> pfff thats heavy system admin ...
[11:34] <JLuc> ;-)
[11:34] <geirha> JLuc: the latter is safer
[11:34] <reisio> JLuc: a 'data partition' is simply a partition that has no purpose, that you put data on :p
[11:34] <bestdnd> is there a way to schedule the upgrade?
[11:35] <geirha> resizing and moving partitions always has a risk to it; so always make sure you've backed up the important stuff before doing that.
[11:35] <mok0> Trying to install nautilus-dropbox on Precise, it's stuck at "Downloading Dropbox 99%"
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: you could cron a script to run an unattended upgrade
[11:35] <jiohdi> oupateddie, user/. mozilla/plugins/
[11:36] <bestdnd> how do i do that?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> mok0: the dropbox servers are a bit busy maybe, or kill the process, fix the packages then restart the install
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: look into cron
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: or you can use gnome-schedule for a gui
[11:37] <mok0> ActionParsnip: I've tried that a couple of times... removing the package and reinstalling
[11:37] <oupateddie> jiohdi thanks I'm busy downloading it. I then unpack this, corredct? Which files do I copy to the .mozilla/plugins folder?
[11:39] <jiohdi> oupateddie, it has a text file w/instructions but there is only one lib file to move
[11:40] <oupateddie> jiohdi sorry stupid again, do I move the lib file/folder to my home/user/.mozille file or to a folder in the system area?
[11:40] <jiohdi> oupateddie, you can do both... but to copy to a systems folder you have to be root
[11:41] <jiohdi> or sudo
[11:41] <bestdnd> when using gnome-schedule, to "apt-get upgrade", do i need sudo? do i need to enter the password somewhere?
[11:41] <oupateddie> jiohdi I have checked in the .mozilla folder there is no plugins folder, must I create one there and copy the unpacked tar in there?
[11:42] <jiohdi> bestdnd, just type sudo apt-get upgrade and it will prompt you for password
[11:42] <jiohdi> oupateddie, check the text file for instructions first... but you can sure
[11:43] <bestdnd> is there a way to avoid the prompt for password every time? i want to to be unattended
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: you can cron as root, so no sudo needed :)
[11:43] <oupateddie> jiohdi will do that
[11:43] <IdleOne> bestdnd, I don't know about gnome-schedule but yes you need to use sudo to upgrade
[11:44] <jiohdi> bestbnd you can type sudo -s   password at the prompt and it will give you permanent sudo until you type exit
[11:44] <JLuc> is an option proposed during install so as to install data on a dedicated partition (different than the system) ? (since i dont see that on the internet site install documentation, but i was once told this is how i should have done)
[11:45] <jiohdi> bestdnd, but be really careful what you run as sudo because running some user programs as root can mess things up big time
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> bestdnd: run:  gksudo gnome-schedule    and you can cron as root, make one job run to run:  apt-get update    then one 10 mins later to run:  apt-get -y upgrade       and you have automated upgrades :)
[11:45] <JLuc> or maybe this is in the "expert mode"
[11:46] <JLuc> (but i'm not sure i'm an expert !!!)
[11:46] <asad2005> network backup app suggestion ?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[11:49] <Sketcy_fiction> hi channel does anyone know a good web designer channel?
[11:49] <reisio> #websites
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: I'd go for SFTP on the clients and rsync :), or alternatively setup a central store of data and then you only backup that
[11:50] <asad2005> i mean like deja-dup but i want to back up to my network drive
[11:50] <Sketcy_fiction> thanks
[11:50] <bestdnd> all set up as <ActionParsnip> said. thanks for all the help
[11:51] <SkippersBoss> jluc ?? are you talking about /home ?? I think most of us have that setup in that way
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: what system is it sharing with?
[11:53] <asad2005> ActionParsnip: its a synology server
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: what does it use to share the files?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: samba? sftp? ftp?
[11:56] <asad2005> i can set it as nfs or samba at least
[11:58] <JLuc> yes SkippersBoss i want /home in a dedicated partition and look forward on the way to achieve this while installing ubuntu
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  select 'something else', then create a / a /home and a swap partition ... you can do this with gparted, while in the live session
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> asad2005: samba will make it easily accessible over LAN and easy to backup
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: set 10Gb as /, same amount as swap as you have RAM and the rest for /home
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  I already have it, I was advising JLuc
[12:01] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip, I am finding that 10GB for / is not enough anymore.
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> idd, I have 15GB /
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: really, my installs rarely go above 4Gb
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: see above
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: d'oh :)
[12:02] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip, yeah the install is about 4 but after you start installing all kinds of stuff it grows pretty fast. 10GB should be enough for most users though.
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: try uninstalling what you don't use as well as adding ;)
[12:02] <SkippersBoss> Jluc: Like monkeydust suggest during the install when you  will be ask to partion your drive just select "something else" although i am quiet sure this option is called Manual in the installation process :-)
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: I always rip out a tonne of guff that is in a default install
[12:03] <geirha> If you install all the games from the latest humblebundle, it'll probably use 5-6GB
[12:03] <IdleOne> Anyway, I took us off topic. sorry folks.
[12:04] <JLuc> the swap will also find place in the newly created / partition ?
[12:04] <geirha> JLuc: No, swap has its own partition
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> geirha: urban terror is probably the biggest game I play :)
[12:05] <JLuc> okok
[12:05] <JLuc> i go on uninstalling HP software on w7 so as to get max space for data and ubuntu
[12:06] <reisio> JLuc: don't forget to defrag
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  like so : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054136/
[12:07]  * mi3 is away: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, PHRICK!
[12:07]  * mi3 is back (gone 00:00:10)
[12:07] <SunTsu> mi3: den don#t public away anyway
[12:07] <DJones> !away > mi3
[12:07] <mi3> yeah, ok!
[12:08] <scorpion54131> hello
[12:08] <scorpion54131> !list
[12:08] <JLuc> thank you for advises
[12:08] <scorpion54131> !bot
[12:08] <JLuc> it takes longer to uninstall unwanted softs that to install w7...
[12:08] <reisio> it's funny whoever told the bot about !list clearly is an "offender" :p
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> i say! !list should show the !it factoid!
[12:10] <reisio> MonkeyDust: which one is that
[12:10] <morsnowski> !it
[12:10] <reisio> :p
[12:10] <morsnowski> :)
[12:11] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: that was a "hello" followed by "!list", not "ciao"
[12:14] <qdb> hello. if i install 10.04, is there ppa for it with new 3.4... kernel with intel gma 3600 driver enabled, and after installing it bcmwl-kernel-source - wifi driver should work. i have searched in 10.04 ppa page yesterday but have not found ..
[12:14] <reisio> doesn't matter, why would you install 10.04
[12:16] <qdb> reisio, this netbook is not mine, its owner has said he dislikes unity and gnoem3 and they are buggy . i am not sure whether it is possible to install gnoem 2 to them... i asked him he said it is possible as i remember
[12:17] <ikonia> qdb: gnome 2 is dead
[12:17] <qdb> ikonia, stable debian uses it ) and also it uses firefox 3.....
[12:18] <ikonia> qdb: that does mean it's not dead, gnome 2 is dead. You should consider a migration plan
[12:18] <morsnowski> qdb: i hate unity with a passion but i can tell you from experience with 12.04 and gnome 3 that it works great
[12:18] <morsnowski> get 12.04 install gnome and you are golden
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> qdb: gnome2 is dead, install xfce is my suggestion
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: the default Ubuntu install uses Gnome already, no need to install anything else if you want Gnome
[12:20] <morsnowski> ActionParsnip, maybe it's my fault but when 12.04 came out of the box i did not have a gnome desktop available
[12:20] <ManDay> Ubuntu comes without python 3 o_O ?!
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: 12.04 uses gnome desktop
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: it just uses a different shell (Unity)
[12:20] <reisio> qdb: right, and Firefox 3 is dead as well
[12:21] <reisio> qdb: Xfce is a lot like GNOME 2, if that's what you're after
[12:21]  * morsnowski is going to install it in a vm once more
[12:21] <jrib> ManDay: it's in the repositories
[12:21] <ManDay> jrib: I'd have thought it would be default, thanks
[12:21] <vibhav> jrib: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> !find python3
[12:22] <mint_> hi! am moving my ubuntu install to ssd..i copy/pasted data via live cd..i am chrooted in my install, but grub does not install..help
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> mint_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[12:23] <qdb> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386 i could not find here .. with "kernel", "3.4" , "linux" ...
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> qdb: the 3.4 kernel is not suitable for Lucid
[12:25] <qdb> ActionParsnip, why ?
[12:25] <mint_> ActionParsnip: I need help regarding the fs of the 2mb partition and how to make it active AND install grub
[12:26] <qdb> ActionParsnip, as i know people have compiled it to get intel gma 3600 driver
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> qdb: if it was it would be in the repos, wouldn't it
[12:27] <qdb> ActionParsnip, yes
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> qdb: the 3.4 kernel is in Quantal which is currently pre-release
[12:27] <qdb> ActionParsnip, may be just people do not need it?
[12:27] <wingnut2626> i have jaunty on a mobile phone.  how can i add more current repositories so that i can get more software?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> qdb: you may install it but you will not be supported here, your call
[12:28] <qdb> btw i am downloading quantal
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> qdb: quantal is supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day in October
[12:30] <qdb> ok thank you
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> mint_: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:35] <OerHeks> wingnut2626, jaunty is EOL, so you better put something new on your mobile thing.

[12:50] <alex_under> sure
[12:50] <vinicius_> oiee
[12:51] <L3top> alex_under: you should quote what you echo, but I am not convinced that is the issue, so echo "suspend" > level

[12:53] <alex_under> ActionParsnip: I'm not running as root I just ran sudo xterm ...
[12:53] <alex_under> ActionParsnip *
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: don't use sudo for gui apps, use gksudo
[12:53] <inashdeen> Hi, can someone point me to the translators irc?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: you can run: echo "suspend" | sudo tee /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-2/power/level
[12:54] <alex_under> tee: level: Invalid argument
[12:54] <Teth> I have some questions about SSD drives and Ubuntu
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Teth: ask away
[12:54] <alex_under> echo "suspend" > level
[12:54] <alex_under> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[12:55] <Teth> aren't SSD drives write once?
[12:55] <Teth> if so, how do I handle using it for ubuntu?
[12:55] <Teth> is there support for it?
[12:55] <Sling> how can i permanently set my resolv.conf without loosing it on reboots?
[12:55] <Teth> I am pretty sure I would have to place my swap partition, applications, and everything that isn't the OS itself on the HDD
[12:56] <DJones> Teth: No, SSD's are just like a big USB key, rewriteable etc
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: try my command
[12:56] <Teth> really. a few years ago a friend was telling me that they were write once
[12:56] <Teth> how much rewriting can they sustain?
[12:56] <alex_under> ActionParsnip: tried it
[12:56] <alex_under> Still Invalid argument: level
[12:57] <Teth> also, how can I create a clean separation between my OS and applications installed on the SSD and data/media files/personal info/projects on the HDD
[12:57] <spaceman> Sling: set a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> alex_under: as root would be:  echo "suspend" | tee  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-2/power/level
[12:57] <L3top> It is interesting alex_under. It does not appear that that is a valid state... and it will not allow the write.
[12:58] <mint_> someone please suggest to mark guid partition as 'active'
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Teth: you'd make a seperate /home partition in the install and your user data and settings will be seperate to the OS files, this is ideally stored on a platter based drive :)
[12:58] <Kingsy> guys, I am on my machine right now.. and my mouse seems to have crashed..
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> mint_: use fdisk, its got near zero meaning in Linux though
[12:58] <Kingsy> it moves but I cant click on anything..
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: unload and reload the psmouse module
[12:58] <Kingsy> the pc is still fine however because I can type (lol as you can see)
[12:59] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: how?
[12:59] <hyper_ch> hi there, I'm trying to debootstrap ubuntu but whenever I chroot into the rootfs to run the second stage I get:  bash: /debootstrap/debootstrap: No such file or directory
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse
[12:59] <spaceman> Sling: sorry use /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf using prepend domain-name-servers
[13:00] <Sling> spaceman: its set to static already
[13:00] <mint_> ActionParsnip: fdisk is for MBR only..I guess and can corrupt partition...if only ubuntu had cgdisk a cfdisk like program
[13:00] <Sling> ill check the domain-name-servers
[13:00] <alex_under> L3top: I did it in Debian and it worked just fine
[13:00] <alex_under> L3top: It stopped the device as it should
[13:01] <inashdeen> can anyone point me to translators irc?
[13:01] <Teth> I suppose that was a really silly question to ask. I could have not been lazy and looked at my file hierarchy to figure that much out :P
[13:01] <Teth> still, are there any other places I should look in order to keep application data on the platter?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> !info cfdisk
[13:01] <Sling> spaceman: so its dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces, can I add search and domain there too?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> mint_: why do you want to mark a partition as active?
[13:02] <drPoo> how can I mount a remote drive using sshfs automatically at startup?? The command that Im using is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054206/
[13:03] <L3top> alex_under: "(In kernels up to 2.6.32, you could also specify "suspend", meaning that the device should remain suspended and autoresume was not allowed.  This setting is no longer supported.)   http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt
[13:03] <spaceman> Sling: prepend domain-name-servers is in /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf not /etc/network/interface (my mistake), if you restart your interface now you will screw it up
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> mint_: it doesn't make any difference if you use Grub.
[13:03] <Sling> spaceman: im not using dhcp
[13:05] <c0rnel> hello all
[13:05] <Kingsy_> ActionParsnip: this is impossible..
[13:05] <spaceman> Sling: if that's the case then /etc/resolv.conf shouldn't change
[13:05] <Kingsy_> how do you use the keyboard to alternate between terminal tabs?
[13:05] <c0rnel> is there a way to install a 64bit virtual machine in ubuntu?
[13:06] <spaceman> Sling: you can have a static IP but a dynamic DNS server
[13:06] <alex_under> L3top: now it makes sense, thanks.
[13:06] <Kingsy_> anyone.. how do you alternate through terminal tabs using the keyboard?
[13:07] <zykotick9> c0rnel: do you get coloured output from "egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo --color=always"?
[13:07] <L3top> Kingsy_: I would detatch them with Ctrl Shift H and alt tab like a human.
[13:07] <Sling> spaceman: i have a fixed dns server, fixed dns search + domain and fixed ip address
[13:07] <Sling> and in /etc/network/interfaces i have no dhcp anywhere
[13:07] <Kingsy_> L3top: Ctrl shift H does nothing
[13:07] <L3top> np alex_under. I learned something out of it, so thanks!
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy_: tried Unity2D session?
[13:07] <L3top> sorry Kingsy_... I am in KDE
[13:07] <Kingsy_> ActionParsnip: no, I don't know what that is.
[13:08] <drPoo> how can I mount a remote drive using sshfs automatically at startup?? The command that Im using is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054206/
[13:08] <Kingsy_> ActionParsnip: I tried restarting the mouse but I could remember what you typed.. and I couldnt go back to check..
[13:08] <Kingsy_> total nightmare
[13:08] <spaceman> Sling: then what's the problem?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy_: log off, and click the ubuntu logo near your nick and select Unity2D, then log in
[13:08] <Sling> spaceman: resolv.conf being empty after a reboot
[13:08] <c0rnel> zykotick9, i'm asking for a friend, so it may take some time until i'll get the answer
[13:08] <Sling> but now i've put it in interfaces and it seems to work after a networking restart
[13:08] <Kingsy_> ActionParsnip: what will that do?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy_: means yu will be using Metacity instead of stupid compiz
[13:09] <Kingsy_> ActionParsnip: cant I just restart something as you mentioned?
[13:09] <L3top> if he can click...
[13:09] <zykotick9> c0rnel: i see.  that string determines if your CPU supports virtualization - you'll need it to create 64bit VMs
[13:09] <Sling> i guess the init script for interfaces fills resolv.conf with whatever is prepended with dns-
[13:10] <c0rnel> zykotick9, i see, so maybe something is disabled in bios
[13:10] <zykotick9> c0rnel: that's possible as well
[13:10] <spaceman> yes in addition to the servers set by dhcp
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse
 Kingsy: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse
[13:11] <zykotick9> c0rnel: 64bit VMs makes almost no sense... (are they giving it 4GB+ RAM?)
[13:11] <Sling> just the dns-domain i set isnt there, but hostname -f still reports the domain extension
[13:11] <Sling> perhaps thats only on reboot
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: virtual SQL servers love 64bit goodness
[13:12] <SkippersBoss> actionparsnip: he said Almost :-)
[13:12] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i can see it for specific use cases - but there are only a couple, and for stuff like that - i'd think a native setup would be better ;)
[13:12] <c0rnel> zykotick9, ok, we have vmx
[13:12] <c0rnel>  in output
[13:13] <zykotick9> c0rnel: that's intel's Virtualiaztion - so it should be possible :)
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: oh true but if you have acres of RAM and loads of CPU power it's good (we do it here :D )
[13:13] <spaceman> Sling: the only explanation I have is that your static DNS are being overridden by DCHP or by network manager, prepend domain-name-server would be a temporary solution
[13:13] <shaneo> hi guys im using the nightlie builds of XBMC and used the XBMC Nigtly ppa from lanchpad to install. For some reason im not getting the updates even though the nigtlies say the last build was yesterday and the latest I have is the 17th. Any idea how to fix this so that my nightlies stay updated
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: ppa's aren't supported here
[13:13] <shaneo> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: I'd contact the ppa maintainer
[13:14] <shaneo> ok will do
[13:14] <spaceman> and yes it would probably require a restart
[13:14] <Onixs> .
[13:14] <Onixs> oops
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> shaneo: there is xbmc in the repos you know
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> !info xbmc | shaneo
[13:16] <shaneo> ActionParsnip, Yes i know thank you but i use TraktUtilities that depends on nigtlie builds
[13:16] <Kingsy> total waste of time, I just rebooted.
[13:16] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: that's useful to konw, I didn't know it was int he repo now
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: yeah suprised me a while back too :)
[13:16] <Kingsy> but wtf.. nothing worked there.. I couldnt alt tab, I couldnt do much.. what crashed?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: did you try Unity2D
[13:16] <Kingsy> is it possible to find out?
[13:16] <ikonia> Kingsy: tone it down please.
[13:16] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: not yet.. heh but I couldnt log out in order to try it
[13:17] <Kingsy> or are you saying try it as a alternative ?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run;  killall -u $USER    would do it
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: log out and try the other session
[13:17] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: I pressed Ctrl + Alt and every key on the keyboard.. they did nothing
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: CTRL+ALT+F1 would drop you to a terminal, or you could have even pressed CTRL+ALT+T to get a terminal
[13:18] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: it didnt
[13:18] <Kingsy> it did nothing.. heh honestly I tried it :P
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sounds like more than just the mouse then
[13:19] <Abhijit> Kingsy, what are you trying to do?
[13:19] <Kingsy> yeah.. but nit was weird, I could type and such.. open new windows was ok too
[13:19] <Kingsy> Abhijit: just trying to figure out what went wrong a moment ago
[13:19] <Abhijit> :-/
[13:19] <ahhughes> I need to convert a m2ts video file to a mpeg2 (or similar), but avidemux is no good. Are there any cli options to de/compress this to video / audio or both.

[13:39] <ffv> I know that Chrome has its integrated flash player but i can't find and enable in the plugins page
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> ffv: its enabled by default, if you install flash plugin as normal then it will be used
[13:43] <ffv> ActionParsnip: no, I 've installed it from software centre but it didn't work
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> ffv: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[13:44] <ffv> ActionParsnip: okay please wait

[13:46] <ActionParsnip> ffv: can you use a pastebin, as I asked. something like http://pastie.org
[13:46] <skunkworks> We just switched over to 12.04 running samba.  I am having an odd issue with some older software that uses 8.3 file format.  Instead of it doing something sane myfile~1.dwg - it does 17uz8q~h.dwg.  I have done some research on mangled names - but am coming up nil.  Thanks
[13:46] <ilyail3> how do I add ssl cert to trusted certs of wget?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> skunkworks: i'd ask i #samba too
[13:47] <ffv> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/4132360
[13:47] <skunkworks> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> ffv: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[13:48] <escapeplebville> i have just installed ubuntu 12.04, are there any system admin gui tools for viewing processor usage etc. like windows permon ?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> ffv: then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[13:49] <JAZANTHEPUSS> having a problem reading a hfsplus dvd in 12.04 64bit
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> !hfs
[13:49] <warloch> anyone open to a question or two?
[13:50] <Abhijit> !ask | warloch
[13:50] <JAZANTHEPUSS> got it mounted, cannot cd into it  it says permission denied.. tried to chmod it 777 and then ls-l has all files looking like this http://pastebin.com/m0c0h5TL
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: set the ACL when you mount it
[13:51] <JAZANTHEPUSS> what does that mean?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: who can access it and so forth
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> acl == access control list
[13:52] <ffv> ActionParsnip: I have finished your first step. but what do you mean "<ActionParsnip> ffv: then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS" can you paste the command?
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> well i did this to mount it mount -t hfsplus /dev/scd0 /media/mountpoint
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sr0 not scd0
[13:52] <escapeplebville> are there guyi tools like perfmon and task manager equivalents in ubuntu, is if so where can i browse them to see what is available
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> system monitor
[13:52] <JAZANTHEPUSS> is included
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ffv: you can use software centre or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:53] <warloch> ok. I was going to switch to xp x64 to access more RAM on my puter. Will the x64 bit ubuntu allow my puter to access higher amounts of RAM also/ And, how much RAM will the linux os use to run? is it going to suck RAM like vista or windows 7?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: add:  -o user,uid=1000,ro
[13:53] <ffv> ActionParsnip: which repository?
[13:53] <Abhijit> warloch, whats a puter?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> ffv: the partner one..
[13:54] <warloch> com-puter
[13:54] <OerHeks> warloch, how much ram depends on the services you want. and the things you do, but usually less than you used to use.
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> warloch: you can access up to 64Gb in 32bit in Ubuntu as it uses the PAE kernel by default
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> warloch: 64bit can effectively access up to 4Eb of RAM
[13:54] <warloch> so, I can run the x32 ubuntu and access up to 64gigs of ram?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> warloch: yes with the PAE kernel, its the 32bit kernel with a cheap hack to access more RAM
[13:55] <ffv> ActionParsnip: can you be more precise because  I'm a new user~~ Like pasting the url? PLEASE
[13:55] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip I added those lines
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> ffv: use software centre and edit your sources, there will be a pretty GUI
[13:55] <JAZANTHEPUSS> and it mounted but with same problem
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: if you run:   mount   do you see the options applied ok?
[13:56] <JAZANTHEPUSS> http://pastebin.com/R8rnArnN
[13:56] <JAZANTHEPUSS> thats everything i did
[13:56] <Ashael> hey guys, thanks for the help
[13:56] <Planetic> can I access the usb port like serial port?
[13:56] <Ashael> killall worked
[13:56] <warloch> ok one more. is there any advantage to the x64 ubuntu over the x32?
[13:57] <warloch> for a regular user I mean..
[13:58] <Planetic> warloch: you can use more memory on x64 systems
[13:58] <Planetic> can I access the usb port like the rs232 port?
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> i use pyusb
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sorry
[13:58] <JAZANTHEPUSS> pyserial
[13:59] <JAZANTHEPUSS> and then ftdi drivers
[13:59] <FloodBot1> JAZANTHEPUSS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:59] <JAZANTHEPUSS> sorry
[13:59] <Jarrydx26> Can i connect my mobil phone to ubuntu and use as modem ? why is it so hard , Than in windows ?
[13:59] <warloch> right, thats the issue. I only have 2 dimm slots on my motherboard and want to put bigger dimms in, but my 32bit xp wont see all the ram if I do.So I am lookin for an alternative that will give me the most ram I can access
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: how about:  sudo ls -l /media/mountpoint/     please pastebin that
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Jarrydx26: sure, what phone?
[14:00] <senotem> warloch: if you get used to xp then try win seven
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> Jarrydx26: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> warloch: larger RAM space, video and audio conversions benefit a lot
[14:01] <Jarrydx26> Action - i havent tried yet on ubuntu , i got a nokia C3 i wana connect to ubuntu pc
[14:01] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip: here is the pastebin and at bottom me trying again to cd into it

[14:01] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: hmm, ok run:  cat /etc/passwd | grep 501     what is output?
[14:02] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip:nothing was the output
[14:02] <ffv> ActionParsnip: So... I need to type in a url(something like?) to add a repo, then which?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> JAZANTHEPUSS: ok then the mounts are owned by an old username who has since been deleted
[14:03] <Jarrydx26> SkippersBoss : i mean it looks easier to do it on windows , ubuntu got more codes and stuff to enter
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ffv: no, the repo is already in your OS, just not enabled
[14:03] <JAZANTHEPUSS> ActionParsnip:impossibe I only installed ubuntu today
[14:03] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: to tether or to access
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ffv: if you run:  lsb_release -sc     what is output?
[14:03] <senotem> JAZANTHEPUSS: maybe will help to unmount, then chmod 777 mountpoint, then mount again
[14:03] <JAZANTHEPUSS> will try now thanks
[14:04] <ffv> ActionParsnip: precise
[14:04] <Jarrydx26> To tether
[14:04] <ffv> ActionParsnip: I mean the output is precise
[14:04] <Devilz> hello everyone i wanted to ask that is it possible to configure a transparent proxy in squid with password authentication??...
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> ffv: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list       find this line: #deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner    and remove the hash character, as well as on the line below, save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Devilz: should be, yes
[14:05] <JAZANTHEPUSS> senotem: did all that, nothings changed
[14:05] <JAZANTHEPUSS> all still this 501 dude
[14:06] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i make keyboard remaps permanent?
[14:06] <BassBug> I have a 64 bit machine and can't get my scanner to work using 12.04 - it does work using 11.10 . Has anyone solved this problem?
[14:06] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: hmm: let me think. what about following the wizzard in the nm-applet
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: what scanner?
[14:06] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: Via xmodmap? Put them in ~/.Xmodmap
[14:06] <BassBug> Cannon lide 100
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: why did you not add that to the initial question?
[14:06] <linux_is_my_hero> im new to this.  can you elaborate?
[14:06] <Roj> how i can download multi media codec for install ofline?
[14:07] <linux_is_my_hero> like put the codes i used into a file called .xmodmap using gedit?
[14:07] <Jarrydx26> SkippersBoss: thanks bro , i will try the dirty way , since i got programming experience ,im sure i wont break my lappi .lol
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: nm-applet :> edit connection =>mobile broadband and take it from there
[14:08] <Planetic> JAZANTHEPUSS: thank you
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> Jarrydx26: don't try te re invent the wheel
[14:08] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[14:08] <kodo_> has anyone installed the last version of java jdk? I need it for programming android apps on eclipse
[14:08] <JAZANTHEPUSS> Planetic: I am confused why am I being thanked? my problem isn't solved lol
[14:08] <senotem> Roj: download it with synaptic, then look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: why didn'y you addthe make and model in the initial question rather than being ambiguous and saying 'scanner'?
[14:09] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: can you elaborate?  i'm kinda new to this
[14:09] <senotem> Roj: after that usual apt-get install *.deb
[14:09] <BassBug> Because it is possibly a 64 bit vs a 32 bit issue , as sane has a backend for my scanner for some time.
[14:09] <ffv> ActionParsnip: My file do not have any hash characters?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ffv: it will have, the default sources.list file is full of comments
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ffv: or you can simply just add the line I gave
[14:09] <yandex3819> kodo_: Just a warning: I found the Android emulator very slow under Linux, and switched to dual-booting Windows to use it

[14:11] <kodo_> yandex3819 thanks a lot for your advice
[14:11] <Roj> i access internet with windos7 and need to download all package

[14:11] <kodo_> gonna follow your advice
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> BassBug: run:  gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules    and add this text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054300/     reboot to test
[14:11] <yandex3819> kodo_: If you have an Android phone it's ok, because you can just test on that. The emulator is purely for testing against old versions of the Android OS
[14:11] <Lunar_LanderU> hello I got a lubuntu question that might be stupid: Where is the Software Center?

[14:34] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: hm. keyboard not working in grub is unrelated to xmodmap, but that it works in lightdm was surprising. Perhaps lighhtdm is reading your .Xmodmap too.
[14:34] <kodo_> now i can install eclipse
[14:34] <kodo_> Thank YOU
[14:35] <Qualia> ugh
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> !info eclipse | kodo_
[14:35] <inashdeen> hi, if i like to create a new keyboard layout for ubuntu, where can we register it?
[14:35] <linux_is_my_hero> i don't know what that means.  how do i fix it? (I'm not a computer guy i just switched to linux bc i had it up to here with security vulnerabilities in "other" mainstream OS's :-D )
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> kodo_: its in the universe repo
[14:35] <inashdeen> i mean, for a new language
[14:36] <kodo_> the last version?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> kodo_: the version 3.7.2
[14:36] <JAZANTHEPUSS> OerHeks: that didn't work
[14:36] <JAZANTHEPUSS> no where to type name, just has my name and guest session.. i am on 12.04
[14:37] <drPoo> can somebody point me towards a RAID tutorial that makes use of "PARTED" and GPT partitions please?
[14:37] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: i don't know what that means.  how do i fix it? (I'm not a computer guy i just switched to linux bc i had it up to here with security vulnerabilities in "other" mainstream OS's :-D )
[14:37] <kodo_> thans ActionParsnip
[14:37] <OerHeks> JAZANTHEPUSS, odd, works here fine.
[14:38] <kodo_> you saved precious hours of my time
[14:38] <JAZANTHEPUSS> where do you type? like my name is just a label not a text box
[14:38] <linux_is_my_hero> !info | lightdm linux_is_my_hero
[14:39] <samuel> I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras but the videos don't run.
[14:39] <JAZANTHEPUSS> OerHeks: How would you add a user who you could then log in with?
[14:39] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: what is lightdm?
[14:40] <ki4ro> drPoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[14:40] <samuel> the screen goes blank.
[14:40] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: the login screen
[14:40] <drPoo> ki4ro, Ive seen that article. But my OS is already installed and I would like to use parted
[14:41] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: i mean it only works during the bios and post test, once it goes to load ubuntu it doesn't work
[14:41] <drPoo> ki4ro, in particular I do not know how to mark a disk for use in raid with PARTED ala fdisk
[14:41] <ki4ro> drPoo: Sorry, that is all I know
[14:41] <OerHeks> JAZANTHEPUSS, added users should be visible ?all i know is that i entered my account name first time loging in.
[14:41] <linux_is_my_hero> geirha: also after I rebooted to test the xmodmap file it froze so now it goes to the grub menu to let me pick which kernel to load, and because its not responding to the keyboard, my comptuer is useless
[14:42] <Mandalord> samuel: videos on web such as youtube?
[14:43] <samuel> yes
[14:44] <Mandalord> samuel: first, make sure you have flashplugin and enable plugins in youtube
[14:44] <Mandalord> srr in firefox
[14:45] <geirha> linux_is_my_hero: You might need to change something in the BIOS to make the keyboard work during boot.
[14:46] <linux_is_my_hero> wow.  this sucks.  i think ill just reinstall and not have a light-up keyboard.
[14:46] <samuel> Yes, I have flash plugin for Mozila.
[14:46] <samuel> *Mozilla
[14:47] <Mandalord> samuel: did you enable it? its name is Shockwave flash or so
[14:47] <morsnowski> |paste
[14:47] <morsnowski> !paste
[14:47] <samuel> yes shockwave flash 11.2 r202
[14:47] <inashdeen> hi i want to make a jawi keyboard layout (traditional Malay ms) . It is based on arabic with some extra characters. I look into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ara , but i don't really understand how to edit it. i dont see a single arabic character. any help?
[14:48] <Mandalord> well, the last thing is:  youtube is having a trial of Html5 now and still have some errors and drawbacks. You shoul leave the trail

[14:50] <gr33n7007h> How can i change the little ubuntu icon near application menu to one of my own?
[14:50] <drPoo> can anybody point me to a tutorial explaining how to use parted and mdadm for creating a >3TB raid0?
[14:50] <samuel> And what I have to do?
[14:51] <list> ciao
[14:51] <Mandalord> samuel: look at the web page and click at the link "Leave the html5 trail", its located at the end of the page

[14:56] <vicky_> hi everyone ... i just installed latest ubuntu base system and wanted to know how to install gnome 2.3 on it...can anyone help me
[14:57] <OerHeks> youngin, seems like a general problem, better ask in ##hardware, this is ubuntu support.
[14:57] <gr33n7007h> How can i change the little ubuntu icon near application menu to one of my own?

[15:05] <iceroot> !aynone |  come
[15:05] <come> and has installed my unity?
[15:06] <iceroot> come: what is the real question?
[15:06] <come> ah maybe this is more off topic,,
[15:06] <come> but i have a other question
[15:06] <ICWiener> Can someone help me install Debian on my computer? The ppl at #Debian on the Debian servers are assbags
[15:07] <physically_fit> i shot the sheriff
[15:07] <iceroot> ICWiener: #debian
[15:07] <ICWiener> I've been there
[15:07] <iceroot> ICWiener: this is not the support channel for debian
[15:07] <ICWiener> They accused me of trolling and refused to help me
[15:07] <come> how can i make the clook shows the weedday/date/hours/min/sec (12.04. gnome classic)
[15:08] <iceroot> ICWiener: this is not the support channel for debian
[15:08] <ICWiener> I just need to know how to get help
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> ICWiener  last time they were friendly, you sure you were not the problem?
[15:08] <ICWiener> I'm sure
[15:08] <ICWiener> I told them my problem and they said I was trolling and being a n00b
[15:08] <iceroot> ICWiener: please stop it
[15:09] <iceroot> ICWiener: we told you that we dont support debian here and that it is offtopic here, thank youz
[15:10] <ICWiener> I still need help, just point me in the right direction, will you? A gas station sells gas, but if I ask for directions there, they'll probably help me out.
[15:10] <oCean> ICWiener: last warning, stop asking about Debian
[15:10] <iceroot> ICWiener: #debian
[15:10] <Orpheon> ICWiener, the right direction really probably is #debian, or their forums
[15:10] <DJones> ICWiener: We do not support debian, please ask in the #debian channel, or maybe in the ##linux channel
[15:10] <Mandalord> iCWiener: nice answer:D http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual
[15:11] <Twinlator> How to backup the whole Ubuntu?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: depends how much data you have
[15:12] <iceroot> !backup | Twinlator
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: oh, thought you said how long :(
[15:12] <Twinlator> about 16GB
[15:12] <Orpheon> I'm having trouble compiling the Crystal Space 3d engine. The tutorials and readmes and stuff say that one should first execute "./configure" and then "make". Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, I would upload it if I managed to open it (gedit crashes because it's 1.8 mB large)
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: the links ubottu gave are pretty decent :)
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Twinlator: 16Gb will be a fast backup :)
[15:13] <Twinlator> ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm reading it.
[15:14] <L3top> Twinlator: I am very fond of clonezilla
[15:15] <Twinlator> L3top: I have learn about Clonezilla, but i think it is a little difficult.
[15:17] <L3top> Twinlator: It is very simple... but it can seem confusing because of the number of options you have available with regards to whole disk/partition backup to whatever location you want. What are you trying to back up to?
[15:18] <Twinlator> L3top: I have installed the whole Ubuntu in the /dev/sda6, i want to backup it.
[15:18] <L3top> WHAT do you want to back it up TO Twinlator?
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Twinlator  where do you want to put and keep your backup?
[15:19] <Twinlator> back it to /dev/sda1 in the same hard drive.
[15:20] <come> usually i can click on the time in the panel, and can choose the settings, but since i'v used (gnome classic) it dosent work like this. the clock should show me the day of the week, date, hours,min. and seconds. how can i manage this?
[15:21] <L3top> Ok so you will load clonezilla, you will do a partition clone, you will select the destination partition/folder to drop the image in, select the partition to be cloned, and it will do what it does. Just pay attention to the verbiage and use the default options.
[15:21] <L3top> Twinlator: ^
[15:22] <Twinlator> L3top: ?
[15:23] <L3top> I meant for you to read the line above.
[15:23] <L3top> Twinlator: I am terrible about directing comments, so I added your name after I wrote the line.
[15:23] <Seven_Six_Two> I have moved my /var/lib/mysql to /home/myuser/devfolder where devfolder is private share with ubuntu one. I've updated apparmor profile, and symlinked from old location to new. Database starts fine, but ubuntu one won't share, due to folder permissions. Is there a "best" set of permissions that will allow ubuntu one to share, while still allowing mysql to start?
[15:24] <zeroasterisk> i have used ubuntu server for years (debian before) and am trying desktop now on a machine which ran fine with 11.10 desktop64.  I have just installed 12.04 desktop64 (twice) and though the GUI installer completes the install and the GUI loads on boot to display a login prompt…. as soon as I login the screen either goes black or gets a crazy pattern on it.  further more, when I do CTRL+ALT+F2 i'm getting "out of range" messages o
[15:25] <zeroasterisk> (I assume it's a video card driver issue or something, but I'm not sure where to start with that, since I can't get logged in nor drop out to a shell)
[15:25] <L3top> What is the GPU zeroasterisk? lspci -nn | grep 'VGA'
[15:25] <L3top> ahh...
[15:25] <L3top> zeroasterisk: can you ssh?
[15:26] <tim5733> hi. Can I set freenx to share the desktop rather than have a new session ?
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> L3top: i have tried to SSH and it's getting connection refused
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> I assumed sshd wasn't started on a default install, or a firewall setting or something
[15:28] <zeroasterisk> i have a photo of my screen i can share if you want entertainment… it's exciting [/sarcasm]
[15:29] <wylde> !nomodeset | zeroasterisk: maybe this will help you get logged in to install drivers
[15:29] <Orpheon> I'm having trouble compiling the Crystal Space 3d engine. The tutorials and readmes and stuff say that one should first execute "./configure" and then "make", followed by executing a demo program. Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, here is what fitted in the console log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054435/ Any ideas?
[15:30] <zeroasterisk> excellent — thanks guys, I will read this and attempt implementation… I'll come back when done
[15:30] <L3top> I was not sure about nomodeset... I was going to suggest a quick hack. Will save it in case that fails zeroasterisk.
[15:31] <Orpheon> (using this package: http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/release/crystalspace-src-1.4.1.tar.bz2 )
[15:33] <zeroasterisk> wylde, ubottu, L3top: one point of clarification on "nomodeset" before i go off… should I re-install the OS with this flag set?  since I can't get to a shell, i can't setup in the current environment… further, i'll restate that the install process and boot up and all the way to login prompt all work fine… pretty display and all… but post login it craps out.  still think "nomodeset" is the way to go?
[15:34] <JLuc> so i am now at it
[15:34] <JLuc> installing
[15:35] <JLuc> there was 110Gb free partition
[15:35] <L3top> zeroasterisk: you should be able to get to a grub menu which will give you the ability to add the parameter with an edit (I believe tab key) if you hit shift like a crazy man during boot.
[15:35] <morsnowski> zeroasterisk, no press esc when booting to get into the grub menu
[15:35] <morsnowski> too late as usual
[15:35] <JLuc> the "other wat" option proposes to create / change partitions si i created a swap space and a ext4 partition for system
[15:36] <JLuc> but now there is no way to create a NTFS partition with left sapec
[15:36] <JLuc> space
[15:36] <OerHeks> JLuc, you can do that after installation
[15:36] <theGrg> How do I go about resizing my ext4 / partition?
[15:36] <JLuc> NTFS option has disappeared since i created the ext4 partition
[15:37] <JLuc> i have 50Go free space that i could use for that partition
[15:37] <JLuc> so its not a matter of size
[15:37] <L3top> theGrg, gparted
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> theGrg: run a full backup, then boot to liveCD and you can do it there
[15:37] <JLuc> i want /home on that NTFS partition
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: it causes issues
[15:37] <kodo_> has anyone installed eclipse for java developers and android sdk on ubuntu 12.04?
[15:37] <L3top> theGrg: listen to ActionParsnip.
[15:37] <JLuc> ???
[15:37] <theGrg> ActionParsnip I just resize it with gparted?
[15:37] <theGrg> No extra steps?
[15:37] <JLuc> i want to share docs with w7
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: you can have your user data like pictures and junk on NTFS, just not things like config folders for apps and such
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: see above
[15:38] <JLuc> yes i agree
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> theGrg: yes resize away, the partition must be unmounted
[15:38] <JLuc> so the solution is to not use  /home for my docs ?
[15:38] <theGrg> Alright thanks.
[15:39] <JLuc> but use a dedicated /mydocs  in a dedicated partition...
[15:39] <JLuc> :-/
[15:39] <Mr> ActionParsnip: the advice withe the time managment comand dosent work how i accpect
[15:39] <OerHeks> JLuc, you don't need NTFS to share docs, you could use samba
[15:40] <JLuc> using samba just to share docs on the same computer seems a bit overtoomuch for me...
[15:40] <zeroasterisk> wylde, ubottu, L3top: well, i hit shift on boot and got into grub… and it immediatly started saying "out of range" again on my monitor.  POST/BIOS and my RAID all displayed normally, just fine until GRUB would display, then "out of range".  I thought this was so strange I just switched out my monitor for a spare and I'm still getting it.
[15:40] <JLuc> i'm no expert
[15:40] <SkippersBoss> JLUC: You do NOT want your home partition to be NFTS
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: you don't use samba to share docs between OS es on the same physical system
[15:41] <OerHeks> JLuc, then add a NTFS partition after installation
[15:41] <JLuc> okok i was told it too  SkippersBoss , because of programm configs
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  /home also contains technical config files of your programs, not just personal docs
[15:41] <JLuc> yes
[15:41] <JLuc> ok
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: keep an NTFS partition and download all your images and junk to that, keep your actual home folder as Ext4 or you will get issues
[15:42] <SkippersBoss> Jluc, we didn't mean to "shoot you down" sorry
[15:42] <JLuc> okok
[15:42] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[15:42] <JLuc> no problem SkippersBoss
[15:42] <raving> Hello everybody. I am using Fluxbox and I noticed gnome-power-applet has been changed to indicator-power. Does anybody have any idea how to get Gnome3's indicators to work with other WMs?
[15:42] <JLuc> you're all very helpfull
[15:42] <arey_> Hi, When I try to install libpulse-dev, I get these errors:http://pastebin.com/8HavF97q
[15:42] <Orpheon> I'm having trouble compiling the Crystal Space 3d engine. The tutorials and readmes and stuff say that one should first execute "./configure" and then "make", followed by executing a demo program. Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, here is what fitted in the console log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054435/ Any ideas?
[15:42] <JLuc> but its a bit much at once for me
[15:43] <raving> Orpheon, I'll take a look really quick
[15:43] <wylde> zeroasterisk: hrmm..that's a new one on me. First time I've heard of the out-of-range at grub.
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> arey_  what ubuntu version?
[15:43] <arey_> MonkeyDust: 12.04
[15:44] <L3top> zeroasterisk: that is... very odd. very very odd. What I would do at this point is boot a live disk, chroot into the install, cp /etc/X11/default-display-manager /etc/X11/ddm; echo "/bin/false" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager          and see if I could boot to terminal to try and figure this stuff out.
[15:44] <JLuc> 10 go for swap is probably too much isnt ?
[15:45] <raving> Orpheon, my guess is because you have -Wall on and have warnings
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> arey_  it says 'broken packages.... type *sudo apt-get -f* to fix them (without the stars)
[15:45] <Scrooge> Does anyone know is there any upper limit on the number of OS one can have on his system, considering he has no limit on the disk space?
[15:45] <morsnowski> zeroasterisk, L3top there is a cse documented for 11.04 server that sounds similar
[15:45] <morsnowski> http://askubuntu.com/questions/52910/signal-out-of-range-when-starting-grub-after-server-installation
[15:45] <theGrg> Can I move my existing /boot to another partition?
[15:45] <raving> Err, actually, Wall doesn't stop on errors
[15:46] <arey_> MonkeyDust: I tried that, it says; 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 41 not upgraded.
[15:46] <raving> theGrg, sure. Are you talking about on the same drive or on a different one?
[15:46] <theGrg> same drive
[15:47] <theGrg> What should I do, just mv it then edit fstab?
[15:47] <raving> theGrg, well there's probably one more step
[15:47] <Scrooge> be right back after some time, will continue with the querry then
[15:47] <wylde> zeroasterisk, L3top: http://askubuntu.com/questions/52910/signal-out-of-range-when-starting-grub-after-server-installation perhaps?
[15:47] <raving> theGrg, once you move everything, you need to reinstall grub so it knows where to look for /boot
[15:48] <sirriffzalot> I've now shrunk my /dev/sda1 (windows) partition, and now there are three partitions, the middle one being empty.. Is there a way to merge the empty one with the ubuntustudio one?:P
[15:48] <raving> theGrg, you can do this with the grub command
[15:48] <zeroasterisk> wylde, ubottu, L3top: i've also just downloaded the 12.04 desktop32 version… I'll try that one and see if my results differ… I'll then try the "during install" debugging too…  thanks for suggestions… and thanks for that link wylde, looking through it too
[15:48] <theGrg> raving I see, so I reinstall grub.
[15:49] <raving> theGrg, yeah, but not through apt; I suppose that description is a bit misleading
[15:49] <sirriffzalot> Anyone?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> JLuc: just go slow and think, plan partitions, your actual home needs to go on Ext4 but you can store casual userdata like MP3s and such on NTFS without issue
[15:49] <theGrg> update-grub>
[15:49] <raving> theGrg, there's grub-install on 12.04
[15:49] <theGrg> Oh ok
[15:50] <wylde> zeroasterisk, L3top: there's this on too that may be helpful. Easier too. Pretty simplistic but you never know. heh.

[15:50] <quixotedon> !gparte | sirriffzalot

[15:52] <Kartagis> hello
[15:52] <raving> Hello Kartagis
[15:52] <Kartagis> I'm downloading the ubuntu dropbox package, but it's stuck at 99%. what to do?
[15:53] <Riddy> @Katagis, I suggest just waiting
[15:54] <Kartagis> Riddy: I've been doing that for the last 5 minutes or so
[15:58] <jimi_> I do not have an /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file, is it OK to create it?
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> My windows partition is displayed on the furthest to the left of gparted... I can resize that over the now unallocated space, but not the ubuntu partition
[15:59] <wylde> anyone know if it's possible to run multiple instances of yakuake. eg one on each of my 3 monitors?
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> Perhaps I should do this from a live cd
[15:59] <sirriffzalot> Fingers crossed:)
[16:00] <Onkeltem> Would you recommend a ebook-reading application which supports integration with dictionaries so that a word translation can be done via click?
[16:01] <sk8|> Onkeltem, i like the idea of that
[16:02] <Onkeltem> sk8|: that is how it works on my android phone with fbreader + colordict
[16:02] <sk8|> what android device?
[16:03] <sk8|> i may have to look in to that, having the ability to go english/german/spainish in one session would be spectacular
[16:03] <Onkeltem> sk8|: it doesn't important, any one. I own Motorola Defy, which I hate from my heart
[16:04] <lapion> anyone here have any experience using grub-efi on older intel macs ?
[16:04] <sk8|> Onkeltem, do you have an android tablet that you could use your current combination of apps to achieve your goal?
[16:04] <gmi_> I'm trying to update dnsmasq-base/utils with a fix that was pushed to the precise-proposed repo but I cannot seem to find it; I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, so I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed but with no luck
[16:05] <Onkeltem> sk8|: unfort. not yet.
[16:07] <sk8|> gmi_, did you do it manually or via the gui?
[16:08] <gmi_> manually
[16:08] <Scrooge> Does anyone know is there any upper limit on the number of OS one can have on his system, considering he has no limit on the disk space?
[16:08] <gmi_> I ran "apt-get update -t precise-proposed" and then "apt-cache policy dnsmasq-base"
[16:09] <sk8|> Scrooge, at one time i think the max was like 3 maybe 4
[16:09] <sk8|> this may have changed but the MBR could only handle a few if i recall correctly
[16:09] <lapion> Scrooge, depends on how many grub mbr's you want
[16:10] <lapion> I'd say that ther eis no limit sk8|
[16:10] <sk8|> last time was years ago
[16:10] <Scrooge> how do i decide the number of mbrs?
[16:10] <sk8|> so it very well could have changed
[16:10] <Scrooge> sk8l, what/who decided that?
[16:11] <lapion> Scrooge, each hdd has an mbr, you can install on each mbr a grub loader and let them chain load each other
[16:11] <sk8|> decided what
[16:11] <samster34> heya, I'm trying to wipe a disk form a live ubuntu...but using dd from /dev/zero and/or dev/urandom is just soooo slooowwwwww. Is there any way to monitor th eprogress of a ATA secure erase? or estimate beforehand how long it will take?
[16:11] <idlephilosopher> Any pointers to a good tutorial on setting up xmonad in 12.04?
[16:11] <sk8|> it was just a limitation of the MBR at one time
[16:11] <Scrooge> the max no of OS should be 3/4
[16:11] <Scrooge> and now more than that
[16:11] <sk8|> technology obviously changes
[16:11] <Scrooge> oh yes, fine
[16:12] <oldschool> hi does anyone know how to install thumbnail me on ubuntu 12.04 or 10.04 caues when i try to install useing ubuntu 10.04 with gdeb package installer it freezes up and wot install it and with useing ubuntu 12.04 ubuntu software centre it starts to install but never installs it is there any other of installing this program
[16:12] <Scrooge> lapion, so one hdd has one mbr, is it?
[16:12] <JLuc> i knew the partitions in w7, and the only way i had to recognise these partitions in ubuntu was their size : neither the position nor the name were the same
[16:12] <lapion> samster34, just use badblocks -vvwt 0x00 /dev/sd???
[16:12] <JLuc> its quite frightening
[16:13] <JLuc> if the partition size had been the same i could not have recognised them
[16:13] <JLuc> or i could have forgotten
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  correct, linux works with partitions, that is, parts of a HDD
[16:13] <samster34> lapion: ? I want to wipe the disk,not find bad sectors
[16:13] <lapion> Scrooge, yes but each partition can have it's own boot sector and if you install grub on the mbr or as a boot partition you can infinitely boot from one partition to another..
[16:13] <JLuc> for such important consequences as destroying a partition in installing ubuntu, i would expect to be more aware of what is proposed exactly
[16:14] <lapion> samster34, overwrites the drive with 0x00 and verifies if the write was correct
[16:14] <zeroasterisk> wylde, ubottu, L3top: using the live CD I was able to set GRUB to console only, and I edited the grub file to do "nomodeset" and now I can get to the prompt on CTRL+ALT+F2…  hooray for progress… the GUI is still crapped out after login, but at least I can get in and do stuff...
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> JLuc  partitioning is the hardest part, you'll get used to it, like we all did
[16:14] <zeroasterisk> $ lspci -nn | grep 'VGA'
[16:14] <zeroasterisk> 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)
[16:15] <samster34> lapion: so, wouldn't that be even slower? I have several disks to wipe, and waiting days to wipe just the smallest one seems kinda lengthy
[16:15] <Scrooge> thanks lapion, sk8l
[16:16] <lapion> you can break the process once it has finished writing and is starting the reading part...
[16:16] <nibbier>  iptables -I OUTPUT -f -d $HOST -j DROP; ping -s30000 $HOST   <-- this should only let the fragments leave my box that start the package, right? (is not working, receiving host sees all fragments, and replies :(
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> zeroasterisk: use the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[16:16] <samster34> lapion: still, I'm looking at weeks of wipe time here
[16:16] <lapion> samster34, you can also use different block sized for dd..
[16:17] <Kartagis> I am on 12.04, chrome never sits in the running programs list when you do alt+tab
[16:17] <Kartagis> why is that?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: are you using Unity or Unity2D?
[16:17] <sk8|> Scrooge, after a brief look around I continue to see 4 as the number and beyond that there may be some added difficulties
[16:17] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure, how do I check?
[16:17] <L3top> zeroasterisk: you could also sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[16:18] <Scrooge> can u explain what might be the difficulties
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: run:  ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep     do you get an output
[16:18] <Kartagis> unity is on the left tho
[16:18] <lapion> samster34, as writing 512byte sectors it usually requires 15 reads and 16 writes to overwrite a 4k block hdd
[16:19] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: I get /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator along with compiz
[16:19] <sk8|> there is a limit to the number of primary partitions that can be created
[16:19] <Scrooge> what difference does it make, if I install an OS on a primary partition or on an extended partition..
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: then its Unity, not 2D. If you use a different ALT+TAB plugin is it there?
[16:19] <sk8|> you could create extended partition beyond that in side those primary partitions
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> sk8|: 4 is max
[16:19] <Shano56> possible to burn and install ubuntu with a cd-r ? :)
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> sk8|: oh, thought you were askin
[16:20] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: I don't
[16:20] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: it's a fresh install
[16:20] <Scrooge> yes, so the max no of primary partitions is 4, not the max no of OS right?
[16:20] <Amalirr23> ахренеть
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: yes, its in a default install
[16:20] <sk8|> ActionParsnip, he wants to know if there is a limit to the number of OS's taht can be installed
[16:20] <sk8|> I say Yes
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: try using the ring switcher instead
[16:20] <sk8|> lapion,  says unlimited
[16:20] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: where is that?
[16:21] <sk8|> Scrooge, you could install more than 2 linux distro on the 2 ext# partitions but the shared resources between say bds and debian may not play nice
[16:21] <Kartagis> simple-ccsm
[16:21] <lapion> sk8|, nope you can also boot from extended partitions
[16:21] <Shano56> anyone know - [09:19] <Shano56> possible to burn and install ubuntu with a cd-r ? :)
[16:22] <Kartagis> is it this ActionParsnip?
[16:22] <Scrooge> can you please be verbose, sk8l? I mean what do you mean by shared resources, swap?
[16:23] <wylde> !patience |Shano56: and yes
[16:23] <FireAllianceNX> --verbose
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> sk8|: I believe you can have a large number of logical partitions, it will be finite
[16:23] <lapion> samster34, you need to specify to dd what size blocks to write
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: in ccsm
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: or simple-ccsm, either is fine
[16:24] <sk8|> Scrooge, the test will to be to try it
[16:24] <lapion> samster34, dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sd? bs=4k
[16:24] <Kartagis> yea, I get ccsm in alt-f2, it doesn't start
[16:24] <zeroasterisk> ActionParsnip, L3top: thanks… I tried [apt-get install nvidia-current] and it said it was already installed and current…  i also found [apt-get install nouveau-firmware] but not sure if that would help me out… here's my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054522/
[16:24] <lapion> samster34, or check what the optimal block size is
[16:24] <samster34> lapion: yeah I tried a few and 4K seesm to be faster
[16:24] <Scrooge> hahaha, i would need a spare hdd for that then! :P kidding
[16:25] <samster34> lapion: although there isnt much fo a difference between 4K and 32M...
[16:25] <Shano56> I repeated myself because the channel is moving pretty fast and a lot of people are joining and timing out :P thanks though!
[16:25] <Scrooge> anyway, thanks sk8l for the info!
[16:26] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: how can I disable all and switch to alt+tab? I'm most comfortable with that
[16:26] <llutz> samster34: lapion you want to use /dev/zero, not /dev/null
[16:26] <samster34> llutz: yeah
[16:27] <samster34> copying from /dev/zero with bs=4K gives me a speed of 110MB/s, 7dev/urandom gives me 6.5MB/s
[16:27] <sk8|> Scrooge, i've never had more than 3
[16:27] <lapion> Scrooge, given that the avarage minimal size for a linux install is 8G you could split up a 1tb into a a lot of partitions given the fact that the /dev/ only gives you room for 16 ( unless you specify at boot differently)
[16:27] <Scrooge> sk8l, we usually don't feel the need to
[16:28] <sk8|> i'm not sure of the actual in practice limitation or difficulties involved
[16:28] <Scrooge> is 16 the max no of partitions, lapion
[16:28] <mbeierl> samster34, random number generation from /dev/random is very cpu intensive.  it produces data at a very low rate
[16:29] <colin_> hi
[16:30] <samster34> mbeierl: will wiping with 00 and FF a few times suffice?
[16:31] <Scrooge> how do you specify the no of partitions on boot, lapion?
[16:31] <Scrooge> if that is what you said
[16:31] <colin_> i dont get how to edit PLACES menu
[16:32] <pandu> hey, ineed help about my libre office
[16:32] <mbeierl> samster34, well, as I'm not a forensic specialist, I cannot confirm that it will completely erase things.  The only way to be completely sure is to do permanent physical damage.  However, a series of different (00 then FF, or others) is effectively the same as a series of random numbers as it is the subsequent writes that I think you want
[16:32] <lapion> Scrooge, you have to hack the kernel, and I do not know if grub accepts it
[16:32] <samster34> mbeierl: and what about using the ATA secure erase command
[16:32] <L3top> colin_: what are you trying to do, in what desktop?
[16:33] <Scrooge> lapion, is 16 the max no of partitions?
[16:33] <samster34> mbeierl: with dd I can at least monitor progress,
[16:33] <zeroasterisk> ActionParsnip, L3top: thanks… I tried [apt-get install nvidia-current] and it said it was already installed and current…  here's my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054522/ Here is some similar info related to my video card http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/53980
[16:33] <pandu> heey
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you will need a plugin for compiz to use to handle the alt-tab as it is the responsibility of the WM to handle that
[16:33] <colin_> ubuntu12,  with gnome-session-fallback enabled
[16:33] <lapion> Scrooge, sda1-sda16 but it's only a kernel limmitation afaik
[16:33] <SunTsu> samster34: if you want to be sure use DBAN - overwriting once or twice with random stuff should be enough, except you know people who would pay lots of money to recover your data
[16:33] <lapion> samster34, /dev/null works a LOT faster
[16:33] <Heridan> Hi. I have a little problem with ubuntu 12.04 and gnome-session-fallback (on an Asus Notebook): In the top right corner I cant see my battery power status where it should be...
[16:33] <colin_> i have applications and places
[16:34] <colin_> cant edit places
[16:34] <samster34> lapion: yeah, /dev/null finishes in less than a second ;)
[16:34] <Scrooge> thanks lapion!
[16:34] <lapion> overwriting everything with any value will erase good enough
[16:34] <mbeierl> samster34, where are the disks going after the wipe?  and how sensitive was the old information?  Unless you really, really need to protect them, a simple pass with dd ought to be good enough
[16:34] <samster34> SunTsu: I can't seem to run dban. in fact I can't run any linux without specifying the "noapic" kernel boot option, but I don't know how to boot dban with that option
[16:35] <lapion> samster34, there a no mythical methods for extracting data from hdd once everything has been overwritten..
[16:35] <mbeierl> lapion, just checking - you do know that /dev/null is EOF immediately and therefore nothing is actually written :)
[16:36] <lapion> samster34, unless of course during the lifespan of the hdd it has had many sector reallocations..
[16:36] <Scrooge> Hey, I had another doubt, how do I edit the labels on the top menu in my Ubuntu 11.10, such as "Turn Off" for "Shut Down...". Which file do I edit?
[16:36] <samster34> lapion: lapion: it has 1 reallocated sector
[16:36] <colin_> its beeing annoying again, i need to make a folder in usr/lib, but got no permissions
[16:37] <lapion> samster34, well I gather that those 4k could not statistacally contain such important data that you would like to destroy the whole hdd
[16:37] <colin_> i can do it in mint, but not ubunut
[16:37] <SunTsu> lapion: there are theoretical measures because the heads are not 100% precise, but it's good enough and nobory will want to recover data by hand with a microscope
[16:37] <SunTsu> nobody even
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> colin_  why make a folder outside /home ?
[16:38] <lapion> SunTsu, those are hollywood myths
[16:38] <colin_> java installation
[16:38] <colin_> i need to put jvm in
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> colin_: mint isn't supported here
[16:39] <Papa> noo
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> colin_: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[16:39] <colin_> i know, im using ubuntu
[16:40] <Papa> #linuxmint
[16:40] <SunTsu> lapion: even if they are not, it's beyond the grasp of joe Blow who will buy a harddisk
[16:40] <samster34> right
[16:40] <jacer> Anyone have any experiencing getting ZFS installed via fuse or within userspace?
[16:40] <colin_> is that the sdk?
[16:40] <samster34> from /dev/zero is stabilizing at 96MB/s
[16:41] <colin_> ill try it
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> colin_: its the jdk
[16:43] <colin_> so it shud come with javafx
[16:43] <Orpheon> I'm having trouble compiling the Crystal Space 3d engine. The tutorials and readmes and stuff say that one should first execute "./configure" and then "make", followed by executing a demo program. Here's the log of the configure; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054397/ and as for the log of make, here is what fitted in the console log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1054435/ Any ideas?
[16:43] <manski> hi. is it possible that the Ubuntu 12.04 server image (for i386) is somehow broken?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> colin_: no idea, I use it to install the web browser plugin. Have a try
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> manski: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:43] <manski> actionparsnip: yes, it checks out.
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> manski: what issue are you having?
[16:44] <manski> what's strange is that when I choose "Check for error" in the boot menu in a virtual machine, it work's fine.
[16:44] <tking> Hello, guys i have WINE installed, but am wondering no EXE file
[16:45] <manski> when I do the same on the computer where I want to install ubuntu, it says that the GCC package is corrupt
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> tking: exe file for what?
[16:45] <mbeierl> tking, wine is not an .exe, it allows certain MS Windows programs to run under an emulator
[16:45] <mhalligan> what's the magic command to reinstall a package including it's configuration files and scripts? I thought it was apt-get install --reinstall but it's not clear that does much
[16:45] <manski> I tried it with two different usb sticks and burned a cd. it's always the same problem.
[16:45] <mhalligan> it certainly doesn't modify the config files and it poops all over itself if I delete them
[16:45] <jacer> Wine isn't an emulator.
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: although it's not an emulator :)
[16:45]  * mbeierl knew that
[16:46] <Orpheon> mhalligan, not as good, but you can try apt-get purge and then apt-get install
[16:46] <mbeierl> I was waiting for the smackdown as soon as I hit enter :)
[16:46] <colin_> this is gonna screw thigns up, i can tell
[16:46] <colin_> would rather just do it the normal way
[16:46] <tking> for instance a friend of mine installed dreamweaver on his linux but I can't am getting an error
[16:46] <tking> same version
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> colin_: it just installs a package to install java 1.7 for your system and web browser
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> tking: did you check the appdb for guidance?
[16:47] <colin_> no
[16:47] <tking> never heard of appdb
[16:47] <BluesKaj_> mhalligan, best to purge an app to get rid of it's config files then reboot and install again , if that's what you're looking for.
[16:47] <tking> let me google appdb
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> tking: well now you have, go check it out :)
