[10:49] <Guest92480> i hear it still spinning inside
[10:49] <Guest92480> any idea?
[10:49] <blackshirt> thats sound good
[10:50] <WarOfTheNerd> Your best tool by the way is to look at dmesg and see what errors the disk throws up
[10:50] <blackshirt> is that disk undetected by tool partitions,like gparted or a similar tool
[10:50] <Guest92480> when i connect it to my laptop,its spinning but didnt show up
[10:51] <Guest92480> i use gparted but gparted keep on searching until i disconnect it
[10:51] <blackshirt> look with some disk tool
[10:51] <blackshirt> looks bad
[10:53] <Guest92480> lucky its not on my linux laptop..
[10:53] <tomreyn> Guest92480: is it a SATA disk, or one of the old ones, with many pins?
[10:53] <Guest92480> SATA
[10:53] <tomreyn> okay, then try replacing the cable (or switch with another temporarily.
[10:54] <Guest92480> still cant be detected in bios
[10:54] <Guest92480> sorry,i mean it detect but didn show up
[10:54] <tomreyn> Guest92480: how were you able to test this so fast?
[10:55] <Guest92480> i've done it before so im still looking to save it now..
[10:56] <tomreyn> i see. sorry can't help then. it's an old disk is it's just 160 GB, best bet is to replace it. if you have important data on it then have some disk recovery company restore it for you.
[10:56] <akamikeym> Hi
[10:57] <Guest92480> ok,no problem tom..i just thought maybe it can be save..
[10:57] <WarOfTheNerd> Guest92480, try placing it at a slanted angle when using it
[10:57] <WarOfTheNerd> and disable SMART on the BIOS
[10:58] <akamikeym> Just wondering, can anyone tell me if there's a mime type for .desktop Giles themselves?
[10:58] <WarOfTheNerd> then if you manage to get it to show up, use a tool like dd_rescue to image it
[10:58] <akamikeym> Giles = files
[10:59] <Guest92480> ok..i have to disconnect from here first..thanks WarOfTheNerd
[10:59] <WarOfTheNerd> akamikeym, text/buffy? :P
[10:59]  * WarOfTheNerd couldn't help but make a bad joke out of that
[11:00] <akamikeym> Buffy? The vampire slayer?
[11:00] <akamikeym> Ok I don't even see that joke. It must be BAD
[11:02] <WarOfTheNerd> akamikeym, Giles was the nerdy philosopher
[11:02] <WarOfTheNerd> (told you it was bad)
[11:02] <mikeym> WarOfTheNerd, just got it.
[11:03] <mikeym> I knew him as the coffee man.
[11:04] <mikeym> Anyhoo better run.
[11:04] <arvin_> Hi guys
[11:04] <arvin_> I tried following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Touchpad
[11:05] <arvin_> Alternative 2, to fix my touchpad for my zenbook. Adding the ppa there made ubuntu try to install kernel 3.5.x which can't finish.
[11:05] <arvin_> Now everytime I try to use apt-get it asks me to run "dpkg --configure -a" to fix the issue, but it breaks at the same point.
[11:06] <arvin_> Could anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this manually? I'd rather revert back to 3.2 and remove the ppa.
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  try sudo apt-get -f install
[11:06] <arvin_> Alright, it's running... let's see how it goes.
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  a ppa is always something you use at your own risk
[11:07] <arvin_> Nope, keep getting Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-13-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/asus-wmi/999.01/build/make.log for more information.
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  kernel 3.5?
[11:08] <arvin_> Yeah, it's from the xorg-edgers ppa.
[11:08] <arvin_> That's the problem, I added it to fix my touchpad.
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  what ubuntu version?
[11:08] <arvin_> It's 12.04
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  3.5 is not supported, at least not in 12.04
[11:09] <arvin_> With the xorg-edgers ppa, which installs 3.5.
[11:09] <arvin_> I know, I'm basically trying to go back to 3.2.
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> !ppa > arvin_
[11:09] <N03L> Hey guys
[11:10] <N03L> How do you change the hostname/system on ubuntu?
[11:10] <WarOfTheNerd> arvin_, don't change the kernel from 3.2 if you don't need extra hardware support
[11:10] <WarOfTheNerd> arvin_, 3.2 gets extra mainline love, it's an LTS kernel upstream as well as in Ubuntu
[11:10] <N03L> Like, when you're on your terminal, your name would appear followed by @ubuntu
[11:10] <N03L> How do I change the name?
[11:10] <N03L> The option to title change via terminal doesn't work.
[11:10] <ugly_duck> /etc/hostname ?
[11:10] <arvin_> That's why I added the ppa, according to the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Touchpad it will fix the semi working touchpad.
[11:10] <ugly_duck> hostname -b hostname
[11:10] <ugly_duck> ?
[11:11] <WarOfTheNerd> N03L, here's a hint:
[11:11] <WarOfTheNerd> root@VG244AA-ABU-p6235uk:~# cat /etc/hostname
[11:11] <WarOfTheNerd> VG244AA-ABU-p6235uk
[11:11] <WarOfTheNerd> (Quite simply, change /etc/hostname and restart)
[11:11] <WarOfTheNerd> Don't change it while the OS is running as it crashes some apps
[11:12] <arvin_> Well right now I'm trying to get back to 3.2, but everytime I do anything with dpkg or apt-get it starts building the module and fails, and crashes, locking apt.
[11:12] <WarOfTheNerd> as in edit /etc/hostname and restart
[11:12] <WarOfTheNerd> (don't use hostname command)
[11:12] <Myrtti> WarOfTheNerd: /etc/hosts should be changed too.
[11:13] <WarOfTheNerd> Myrtti, true.  (Some apps crash if it isn't in there as <IP_ADDRESS>; *cough* League of Legends on Wine *cough*)
[11:14] <arvin_> Let me put this in more general terms. If installing a package using apt-get fails, and dkpg --configure -a or apt-get install -f gets to the same problem. Is it possible to tell ubuntu to stop trying to install that package?
[11:14] <blackshirt> arvin_ what packages causes the problems?
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> arvin_  remove the ppa
[11:15] <arvin_> I removed the ppa, but apt-get update tells me to do dpkg --configure -a, which gets me back to the same problem. :(
[11:15] <blackshirt> arvin_, your apt system on unconsistent state when you say like them
[11:15] <arvin_> blackshirt: it's kernel 3.5 that comes with xorg-edgers.
[11:15] <tomreyn> !ppa-purge
[11:16] <arvin_> I tried ppa-purge as well. No go. :(
[11:16] <crozar> hi all which channel for the ubuntu 12.10 ?
[11:17] <nikolay> join #ubuntu-ru
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> crozar  #ubuntu+1
[11:18] <arvin_> blackshirt, MonkeyDust: right now I've removed the ppa using ppa-purge, tried apt-get update and it still tells me to run dpkg.
[11:19] <crozar> thanks MonkeyDust
[11:20] <tomreyn> arvin_: please post output of all these commands to a pastebin, as well as of: sudo dpkg --audit
[11:20] <arvin_> tomreyn: Alright, one sec.
[11:28] <Azzle-Dazzle> Im having issues with PS3 Media Server, It used to work fine but now when ever i start it up i get this error, Configuration error: /tmp/bla bla bla.......... failed to map segment from shared object. operation not permitted
[11:36] <jan_w> is it normal that the mouse cursor jumps to the top left corner when it hits the left screen border (unity)?
[11:39] <jan_w> please
[11:39] <Evil[1]> howdy
[11:40] <darkzenpc> hi
[11:42] <tomreyn> jan_w: this sounds like this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/986835
[11:42] <Evil[1]> Little question... Is it possible to install ubuntu on a laptop with nvidia optimus? I heard, there are lot's of problems with this? But what I've read on the ubuntu wiki, it seems very simple... any cliffs I have to watch out for?
[11:43] <IngElias> hi i'm new using Linux, i've installed Ubuntu 11.10, but I have problems with my wireless conecction, i can surf the internet for a while and then my conecction is lost. I have Realtek RLT 8188CE 802.11
[11:44] <jan_w> tomreyn: I have no second screen
[11:46] <OerHeks> Evil[1], yes, look at bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, and there is an #bumblebeeOptimus channel here on freenode
[11:46] <OerHeks> #bumblebee *
[11:46] <tomreyn> jan_w: if it's a USB mouse then try connecting it to another USB port, this often helps with hardware issues. If you think it's rather a software issue then search Launchpad more and  port a new bug report if you can't find it already.
[11:47] <Evil[1]> OerHeks: Yeah, I've read that... seems easy to me, but the devil is often in the details... so I just install ubuntu the normal way, then do whats on this page and I'm into business?
[11:47] <tomreyn> jan_w: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1041063 might be related?
[11:47] <OerHeks> Evil[1], yes.
[11:47] <Evil[1]> that sounds fantastic :-D

[11:47] <print-server> Hey guys!
[11:48] <\\\\\\\\> Heh, it's registered
[11:48] <print-server> I got 5 packages that were kept back from an upgrade, why is that and how do I upgrade them?
[11:49] <jan_w> tomreyn: it happens when using the touchpad, the trackpoint and also with usb mouse
[11:49] <Somebody22> hola penjaats
[11:49] <Evil[1]> hmmm... time to think about a nice ssd before installation...
[11:49] <tomreyn> jan_w: sounds like a software issue then
[11:50] <jan_w> tomreyn: yes it started with 12.04
[11:51] <tomreyn> jan_w: my bet is it's related to compiz, try unity-2d and see if it happens there, too
[11:52] <jan_w> tomreyn: it happens with the stock desktop amd64 iso booted from usb
[11:53] <tomreyn> jan_w: i'm not sure whether or not this uses unity 3d, I assume it probably does.
[11:54] <crizis^> tomreyn, if holding super (windows button) brings up the help menu, it does
[11:54] <crizis^> :)

[11:57] <Deutopia> i am trying to configure users and groups in 12.04.1. when i run groupadd or useradd it returns error user/group already exists. when i view the list of users/groups, the 1 in question does not exist. (users reports 7 users named xubuntu & nothing else)
[11:57] <blackshirt> Deutopia: what you mean ?
[11:59] <aldus> hello everybody. After updating to 12.05 precise pangolin , gnome-screenshot works differently... pressing stamp actually takes a screenshot but I don't have anymore the window allowing me to save it somewhere. How to restore that?
[11:59] <crizis^> Deutopia, and what is the name of the group you're trying to add? (system does have some reserved names)
[11:59] <Deutopia> well i am trying to add users and group and it says its already there but users lists its not a user and groups lists its not a group
[11:59] <Deutopia> mysql
[11:59] <secretreeve> er hi, trying to get some technical help. anyone available for a bit?
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> aldus  guess it's saved to ~/Pictures/       and it's 12.04, not 12.05
[12:00] <aldus> MonkeyDust, *typo, thank you
[12:01] <crizis^> Deutopia, that's very likely a reserved groupname
[12:01] <fdge> mysql gets created when you install mysql, and it's a system name/group
[12:01] <secretreeve> :( hate linux and gpu issues
[12:01] <secretreeve> anyone know how to remove a terminal installed .run ati driver when apt-get remove fails?
[12:02] <Deutopia> well everywhere you look the instructions tell you to sudo groupadd mysql and sudo useradd mysql
[12:02] <fdge> did you install from a port or source?
[12:02] <N03L> When you join a channel
[12:02] <crizis^> secretreeve, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx
[12:02] <secretreeve> downloaded it from amd website, extracted archive, cd'd to location and installed it from there using the terminal
[12:03] <crizis^> don't.. do that
[12:03] <N03L> Info about the person joining is shown i.e. bob@3232 et.c has joined
[12:03] <crizis^> secretreeve, you can build .deb packages out of ati .run package
[12:03] <N03L> How do I edit the info? More importantly, then name before '@'
[12:03] <Deutopia> from xampp1.8.0
[12:03] <crizis^> secretreeve, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29 here's copypaste instructins
[12:04] <gbili> hello
[12:04] <secretreeve> crizis i just opened the page. i'll get to work uninstalling it then work on getting a working driver installed
[12:04] <crizis^> secretreeve, also there's catalyst 12.4 right in the repos if that's new enough for you: sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
[12:04] <jrib> N03L: that's the nick a person chooses
[12:04] <secretreeve> the trouble is im actually running mint 13 which seems loosely close to ubuntu
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> !minrt
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[12:04] <crizis^> secretreeve, well, mint is not supported here
[12:04] <bazhang> secretreeve, not supported here. get mint support
[12:04] <gbili> hello i have a problem with my pc i cannot boot, i have an asusp8z77 and when i press power nothing happens, there is a green led on though
[12:05] <secretreeve> you think i havent tried mint? their forums are dead
[12:05] <fdge> Deutopia, I'm not familiar with that, but it sounds like the group already exist. how are you checking to confirm that?
[12:05] <bazhang> Deutopia, what are you doing with xampp; why not lamp
[12:05] <N03L> jrib: Yes, but everytime I connect, a default name is selected. So I find myself having to change the nick afterwards. But even when I do, when I join a channel, the default name is displayed
[12:05] <jotterbot> Hello
[12:05] <N03L> So how do I change the default name?
[12:05] <jrib> !register | N03L
[12:05] <crizis^> secretreeve, just run ubuntu, much better supported :-) (and cinnamon is available for ubuntu if you're after that)
[12:05] <jotterbot> can someone point me to information on reverse-proxy POUND ?
[12:06] <dn4> hey how do I format my usb stick ?
[12:06] <jrib> N03L: and you configure your client with whatever nick you choose
[12:06] <jotterbot> is there an IRC room for pound?
[12:06] <bazhang> jotterbot, whats the goal here
[12:06] <Deutopia> gbili; take the PC apart and reset the BIOS. if that fails, take everything out but bare minimum to boot (leave only 1 RAM module) start putting the PC back together peice by peice till you find the rpoblem.
[12:06] <secretreeve> besides, we all use linux, shouldnt really matter which distro is used lol
[12:06] <jotterbot> bashing, i am trying to configure pound
[12:06] <jotterbot> bazhang*
[12:06] <bazhang> Deutopia, that seems drastic
[12:06] <dn4> !format
[12:06] <Deutopia> bazhang it is lampp, they changed the name
[12:06] <jrib> secretreeve: ##linux is a channel that helps with general linux issues.  #ubuntu helps with ubuntu
[12:06] <crizis^> secretreeve, of course it does as distros do configuration differently
[12:07] <bazhang> Deutopia, we support lamp here, not xampp/lampp etc in /opt
[12:07] <bazhang> !lamp | Deutopia
[12:07] <secretreeve> and i couldnt find that #linux channel. im still relatively new to linux
[12:08] <jotterbot> Can someone help me configure a transparent reverse-proxy?
[12:08] <bazhang> secretreeve, /join ##linux
[12:08] <bazhang> jotterbot, to what end
[12:08] <N03L> jrib: thanks
[12:09] <eins11> I have this Postfix setup running on debian squeeze and it works very well. but did anyone tried that on ubuntu 12.04?
[12:09] <eins11> * http://workaround.org/ispmail
[12:09] <secretreeve> bazhang. not linux savvy /join linux could mean anything and be run from anywhere
[12:09] <jotterbot> I am trying to get Apache on OSX server, to log the CLIENT IP of requests (in access_log) from Apsis POUND on ubuntu 12.04
[12:09] <bazhang> secretreeve, type where you typing to me:   /join ##linux
[12:09] <jrib> eins11: are you asking for help with something in particular?
[12:09] <jotterbot> currently is logging the Private IP address of the ubuntu machine
[12:10] <secretreeve> fine, i'll go se if someone there can help. dont see why it matters what distro is used. its all the same one way or another.
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> jotterbot  guess you better ask in #ubuntu-server or #networking
[12:10] <jotterbot> perfect
[12:10] <eins11> jrib: no, not really. just if someone tried it...
[12:10] <jotterbot> will go to there
[12:10] <secretreeve> just dividing users further when its not needed
[12:10] <jotterbot> thanks
[12:11] <jrib> eins11: this channel is meant for support really.  There should be a guide for postfix on help.ubuntu.com (both in the official manual and on the community wiki).
[12:13] <blackshirt> eins11: i think you can adapt it :D
[12:13] <eins11> blackshirt: yes, but i think i will try that in virtualbox first ;)
[12:15] <blackshirt> eins11: thats good idea :D
[12:15] <eins11> ;)
[12:15] <dn4> g parted isn't showing my usb stick
[12:15] <dn4> how do I format what gparted cannot see
[12:15] <afofana> hey hw want to chat with me?
[12:16] <ikonia> it's a support channel for ubuntu, not a chat channel
[12:16] <dn4> found it something in gparted in the top right has a drop down menu
[12:16] <dn4> found the stick; time to erase

[12:24] <savio> what should i do?
[12:28] <John> hello :]
[12:28] <John> I have a problem compiling a program - in fact many many people have a problem compiling a program, and at present the solution is 'don't use Ubuntu'
[12:29] <knxville> What is the problem John?
[12:29] <John> I've tried every which way to work around, or fix this, but quite frankly i'm no expert in compiling C. I can't code in C so all these CFLAGS and whatnot go over my head.
[12:29] <Deutopia> lol
[12:30] <John> I'll pastebin the output if you like knxville, and I would be deeply greatful
[12:30] <ikonia> John: no, they don't
[12:30] <gordonjcp> John: are we supposed to guess what you're trying to do?
[12:30] <John> gordonjcp:  i'm getting to it
[12:30] <ikonia> John: the answer is not "don't use ubuntu" and no-one says that, please don't make things up
[12:30] <knxville> What error does it give John? It makes it a little easier for people to solve ur problem.. and what are you trying to compile?
[12:30] <gordonjcp> John: what are you compiling, and what's the error?
[12:30] <knxville> gordonjcp: first!! ;)
[12:31] <jrib> John: ask on ONE line and pastebin logs/errors in a pastebin that you include in your question
[12:31] <John> I'm compiling a program called mfold-utils, which can be found here: http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=mfold/download-mfold
[12:31] <tobias__> Hello pinguins!
[12:31] <gordonjcp> knxville: :-)
[12:31] <tobias__> I'm just poping in to ask a quick question.. How do I change my primary monitor, because right now it's my TV..
[12:32] <francesco_> Hello.
[12:32] <John> I'm not compiling mfold, just the utils package (which makes a program called sir_graph)
[12:32] <John> sir_graph is really really useful, but whilst I could get it to work on Gentoo/MacOS/RedHat, i've failed to have any luck on Ubuntu
[12:33] <ikonia> John: how about give us the error
[12:33] <ikonia> John: use a pastebin
[12:33] <N03L> Goodness me, it's still not working.
[12:33] <ikonia> rather than just saying how it's failing
[12:33] <jrib> John: stop.  Summarize what you are doing and what your issues are on ONE LINE. please.  And use a pastebin for errors/logs
[12:33] <John> okay, one sec
[12:33] <jrib> N03L: you don't want to be "NO3L"?
[12:33] <jrib> N03L*
[12:33] <meditator> tobias__, go to System > preferences > monitors
[12:34] <savio> how can i revoke my launchpad key
[12:34] <gordonjcp> okay, the problem is that it's not linking with -lm
[12:35] <N03L> jrib: The problem is, everytime I join a channel, a default name is used instead of N03L
[12:35] <John> The configure output - http://pastebin.com/NRAa4fuf
[12:35] <tobias__> I fooled around in there and tried to switch the monitor order, but it won't change. Wondered if there was a more hardcore way to do it so it'll stick to it
[12:35] <jrib> N03L: what default name?  You came in here as N03L
[12:35] <N03L> When I join, it says 'such and such has now joined'
[12:35] <ikonia> John: looking at my test I suspect it's because your libc is too new
[12:35] <John> The make output  http://pastebin.com/UUq021Ug
[12:35] <knxville> tobias__: Do you got nvidia graphics card?
[12:35] <tobias__> ATI radeon HD 7950
[12:35] <jrib> N03L: are you sure that's not someone else joining?
[12:36] <John> libc is too new? hm
[12:36] <N03L> like above ^ sebuba@ etc has now joined.
[12:36] <tobias__> monitor in DVI and TV in HDMI
[12:36] <N03L> mine says robert@ such and such for some reason.
[12:36] <John> This forum thread might help: http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=node/102
[12:36] <knxville> tobias__: im not sure if ati got software for your gfx card, but nvidia does.. I can change the primary monitor through that..
[12:36] <gordonjcp> John: yes
[12:37] <jrib> N03L: so you want to change "robert"?
[12:37] <John> The guy who runs it (zukerm) isn't particularly useful it has to be said
[12:37] <N03L> yeah
[12:37] <tobias__> I only use my TV in windows, so I could shut the HDMI down if possible so it wont recognize my TV
[12:37] <jrib> N03L: that's your username usually
[12:37] <gordonjcp> John: I was just about to say, if you pop the error you get into Google it returns exactly *one* result
[12:37] <knxville> tobias__: alternatively, you could delete the xorg.conf file while the tv is detached.. it would create a default xorg.conf
[12:37] <gordonjcp> John: and that's it
[12:37] <N03L> jrib: How do I change it?
[12:37] <ikonia> John: that thread shows some pretty outside ubuntu dependency meeting
[12:37] <jrib> N03L: try #weechat
[12:37] <dn4> I formatted my usb stick and it won't let me drop files on there and it says read only
[12:37] <dn4> how do I change that
[12:38] <N03L> okay I'll give it a go. Thanks.
[12:38] <John> ikonia:  oh, i might have pasted the wrong one... I thought it had like 3 people complaining that it wouldn't work on Unbt
[12:38] <jrib> John: doesn't that site also provide binaries for mfold_utils?
[12:39] <ikonia> John: some guys complaining about it not running on ubuntu 10.10
[12:39] <John> jrib:  for redhat
[12:39] <ikonia> John: it looks like the person who writes the software doesn't know how to resolve this yet
[12:39] <ikonia> John: I'd take that as a bad sign
[12:39] <jrib> John: where does it say that?
[12:40] <tobias__> knxville: I don't have a xorg.conf..
[12:40] <gordonjcp> John: right, it's not picking up the flag to tell it to link against the maths libs
[12:41] <gordonjcp> John: aha!
[12:41] <gordonjcp> right guys
[12:41] <gordonjcp> the problem is that the -l switches are coming *before* the source filename in the line passed to gcc
[12:41] <gordonjcp> this is a change from older flavours of gcc where you could put them anywhere
[12:42] <dn4> ok I just formatted a USB thumb stick an ubuntu only has it as read only; WTF ubuntu
[12:42] <John> Sorry gordonjcp, I kind of understand but i want to be 100% clear because it would be totally awesome if I could debug these sort of things myself in the future
[12:42] <ikonia> dn4: dump the language please, it's not needed
[12:42] <John> How did you a) detect that, and b) what line has the l flags again -_-;
[12:43] <John> and i'm guessing -L is for library..?
[12:44] <crizis^> John, compiled fine for me..
[12:44] <John> crizis^:  what - straight out of the box :/
[12:44] <gordonjcp> John: I looked at the last couple of lines of error output and noticed that it said something like "gcc -lm name-of-source.c"
[12:44] <dn4> any reason why ubuntu only allows read only for usb storage devices; and not read and write ?
[12:44] <gordonjcp> John: I've run into this before
[12:44] <jrib> John: the binaries provided for mfold utils are not redhat-specific; the site only states that the mfold binaries are redhat-specific
[12:44] <gordonjcp> John: now you need someone skilled in the art of fixing Makefiles
[12:44] <John> jrib:  ah, good point
[12:45] <crizis^> John, i can upload compiled package for you
[12:45] <MarioCade> Chiedo scuse, ma e la prima volta che entro in questa chat e avrei un paio di domandi su UBUNTU
[12:45] <John> gordonjcp:  or a million monkeys with a million typewriters and an infinite amount of time. I have 1 monkey and 1 typewriter, but in principle it can be done
[12:45] <John> crizis^:  I actually tried doing that from a Gentoo compile over to Ubuntu and it didn't work :(
[12:46] <John> Maybe Ubuntu->Ubuntu will
[12:46] <ikonia> dn4: what file system did you put on ti ?
[12:46] <Skrocco> Hello, any ubuntu member here ?
[12:46] <crizis^> well, i have 64bit ubuntu, so if you have 64bit this should work
[12:46] <ikonia> Skrocco: yes ?
[12:46] <John> crizis^:  I do indeed :)
[12:46] <dn4> ikonia, fat 32 for now
[12:46] <Skrocco> Hello ikonia, I'm a ubuntu user, and also a software engineer
[12:46] <ikonia> dn4: ok, so fat32 has no permissions
[12:46] <ikonia> Skrocco: right ?
[12:46] <John> I'm going to try gordonjcp's approach anyway though, because it's good to learn
[12:46] <crizis^> John, http://www.warsow.net/~th/tmp/mfold-util_4.6-1_amd64.deb try this
[12:47] <MarioCade> Sto usando simultaneamente Ubuntu 11.04 e 12.04 perhce non riesco a usare apieno Unity
[12:47] <Skrocco> I want to contribute to Ubuntu development  and I don't know where to begin !!
[12:47] <John> Thanks crizis^ - also, what's a .deb?
[12:47] <dn4> ikonia, well on my usbstick it is read only
[12:47] <crizis^> John, i just installed few -dev packages for postscript, some math libs whatever i saw in ./configure output and it worked out of box
[12:47] <crizis^> John, a debian package?-)
[12:48] <dn4> !usbmount
[12:48] <crizis^> John, dpkg -i package.deb should work, or just doubleclicking it in file manager
[12:48] <MarioCade> Pronto non sara possibili gli aggioernamenti del primo. C'è qualche forma di salvare in un cd o dvd la versione salvata alla fine setembre?
[12:48] <Pici> !it | MarioCade
[12:48] <John> Oh i see, so you like, bundled it all up into one package
[12:48] <John> Why can't all software be like that :/
[12:48] <MarioCade> Ok. Grazie mille a tutti!
[12:48] <dn4> ikonia, gonna try this sudo apt-get install usbmount
[12:49] <crizis^> John, all software worth using _is_ packaged for ubuntu ;)
[12:49] <jan_w> tomreyn: with discrete graphics disabled it does not happen
[12:49] <ikonia> !contribute | Skrocco
[12:49] <Skrocco> ikonia, what dose mean ?
[12:50] <ikonia> Skrocco: read it
[12:50] <ikonia> Skrocco: and it tells you how to contribute
[12:50] <Skrocco> ikonia, Ah ok !
[12:52] <Skrocco> ikonia, can you please tell me where can I found Ubuntu architecture schema ?
[12:54] <woosim> hello I am using the current ubuntu release and I have 9 virtual desktops. Everytime I start xonotic and quit it again. All windows from dektop 5 are moved to desktop 4 and from desktop 8 to desktop 7(basically all the ones in the middle are moved to the left apart from the top middle desktop) Does anybody experience the same oder does anybody have an explanation why that is so?

[12:54] <ikonia> Skrocco find what ?
[12:55] <Skrocco> ikonia, documentation on Ubuntu architecture
[12:55] <tuffgong> how to  ink pc using wireless router
[12:55] <ikonia> Skrocco: what architecture, ubuntu is a linux distro
[12:56] <ikonia> Skrocco: did you read the link I sent you ?
[12:56] <Skrocco> yes I know that, I mean How the OS is structured and the intern architecture (component, service, interaction, ....)
[12:56] <ikonia> Skrocco: did you read the link I sent you ?
[12:58] <agus_sintang> th0r, may i borrow your hammer, i get headache,
[12:59] <tuffgong> how to  ink pc using wireless router
[13:00] <dn4> well my ubuntu machine automatically makes my usb thumb sticks read only; and my other computer does not
[13:01] <gordonjcp> dn4: it shouldn't do
[13:01] <dn4> yep; well it just looks like a problem I don't want to mess with this morning

[13:05] <Skrocco> ikonia, yes I reading !
[13:07] <delinquentme> Ok so I've got a bit of a hybrid question... I've got rails running on an ubuntu server ... and I need to be able to serve up files THROUGH the rails application ... from a multitude of places in the server ...
[13:07] <delinquentme> specifically file dirs which aren't in the rails project
[13:07] <delinquentme> How can I do this?
[13:08] <Pici> delinquentme: I don't know anything about rails, but I suppose that you could symlink things into the rails project dirs.
[13:11] <John> Er
[13:12] <John> Odd question - i'm now on Amazon VPS, not strictly Ubuntu (although it's based on Ubuntu)
[13:12] <John> and i don't have dpkg
[13:13] <Deutopia> that is an odd question
[13:13] <John> hehe, sorry i forgot to finish it off :P
[13:14] <John> Can i install dpkg via yum?
[13:14] <John> or apt-get
[13:14] <Deutopia> yes
[13:14] <jrib> John: what on earth are you doing?
[13:14] <John> I've tried yum install apt-get - didn't like it
[13:14] <root__> xmmm i don;t know what that is
[13:14] <John> jrib:  trying to install crizis's .deb
[13:15] <John> I thought I was on Ubuntu...
[13:15] <jrib> John: if you'r on ubuntu, use dpkg.  Or just use the binaries provided by the project.
[13:16] <jrib> John: you should probably figure out what distro you are on though...
[13:16] <John> lol
[13:16] <John> I'm on "Amazon Linux" apparently
[13:17] <John> ugger
[13:19] <byc> hello everyone
[13:22] <saustin> Is there an easy way to turn off the fancy application switching?
[13:22] <saustin> its rather frustrating to find the window I want
[13:27] <vect0ry> is syntax in /etc/sudoers checked as is with using visudo?
[13:28] <jrib> vect0ry: not sure what you are asking?
[13:29] <mbeierl> John, try "lsb_release -a" to see what distro it is claiming to be
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:30] <ohm_> hai
[13:30] <ohm_> hai mike
[13:30] <krux> saustin, you could just have one workspace instead of 4..
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> saustin  or use a different desktop
[13:31] <mbeierl> saustin, I think you might need to provide more details, like what "applciation switching" you mean, and what window manager. / desktop env you are using
[13:32] <vect0ry> jcrigby: in /etc/sudoers is the line '#include /etc/sudoers.d' < is the included stuff checked for errors?
[13:34] <vect0ry> jrib: ^
[13:34] <vect0ry> jrib: correction '#includedir /etc/sudoers.d'
[13:35] <jrib> vect0ry: that's a good question.  I'm not sure.  My guess is that only the syntax for the include is checked if you do visudo.  However, you can use visudo with -f to specify a specific file in /etc/sudoers.d/ to check
[13:37] <usc911> Hi guys, having an issue with vsftpd that I can upload files in to any of my subdirectories but not in to the root directory, has anyone else encountered this?
[13:37] <nomike> Hi! I want to boot an ubuntu live CD from a TFTP-Server. There is a bootoption "netboot" which could be set to "nfs" to boot from nfs. However I want to boot from tftp without using nfs.
[13:37] <tuffgong> what is PHP stand for  is it hypertext preprpocessor or personal home page
[13:37] <nomike> Is this even possible (all tutorials I find talk about using nfs)? Where could I find doku about the boot parameters?
[13:38] <designbybeck> we have some, roughly 10year old donated laptops. Off-brand.  512Ram. Should I try something like Ubuntu 10.04 because it is older?
[13:38] <designbybeck> or Xubuntu 10.04?
[13:38] <vect0ry> jrib: ah, thx
[13:39] <vect0ry> designbybeck: im running lubuntu 12.04 on a pentium3 with 256mb ram
[13:40] <vect0ry> pentium4*
[13:40] <designbybeck> HMMMmm I never really cared for Lubuntu... but with secs like that I might have to! vect0ry it runs well enough?
[13:40] <saustin> I am using uhhh the default window manager that comes with ubuntu 12.04 (I don't know what it is called) and yes I use four workspaces, and I have an ati radeon and I use the fglrx driver and what is frustrating is clicking on say...chrome icon where there are like 5 windows open and I can't find the one I want
[13:40] <vect0ry> it runs as well as winxp ran, that is not very graciously
[13:40] <saustin> I guess I'll go back to using alt tab :)
[13:41] <designbybeck> vect0ry:  I'm also debating on putting SugarOS on these, have you ever messed with it?
[13:41] <designbybeck> was hoping I could use these for kids if nothing else
[13:41] <saustin> But I would rather something like a smaller frame of windows opens up next to the icon on the bar of icons showing an icon or tiny window for each window open (a la some versions of windows)
[13:42] <vect0ry> saustin: install tint2
[13:42] <vect0ry> its customizable
[13:42] <saustin> vect0ry, thanks I'll give it a go
[13:43] <vect0ry> wonder if it works in mutter
[13:43] <vect0ry> designbybeck: nope
[13:45] <Deutopia> i was never able to boot sugar ona a stick
[13:45] <RonSykes> Hi there. Has anyone been able to get bluetooth working in 12.04
[13:46] <Deutopia> for me, xubuntu has been the best for old machines
[13:47] <usr13> good on new ones too :)
[13:47] <designbybeck> vect0ry: I was able to boot Lubuntu 12.04 32bit off a newer laptop but not this older one. I did get MacPup to boot on the older one though?
[13:47] <usr13> thunar rocks
[13:47] <sjefen6> how do I set line in as default input instead of mic?
[13:47] <designbybeck> Did you use the Standard ISO? or the alternative one?
[13:48] <Spainal> привет всем
[13:49] <Spainal> Это русский чат?

[13:50] <RonSykes> Has anyone been able to get stable bluetooth working in 12.04?  I'm trying to connect an Apple Wireless Keyboard but dbus keeps crashing
[13:50] <ohm_> any one
[13:50] <Spainal> Спасибо! =)
[13:51] <usr13> sjefen6: I've heard of that happening before and I don't know how to fix it other than making a mental note that it is misslabled.
[13:51] <killer_> ohm_ : what happened ...satyanash ?
[13:51] <usr13> sjefen6: I suppose you could file a bug report.
[13:52] <sjefen6> what?
[13:52] <sjefen6> so you are saying it is impossible to set "line in" as an audio input?
[13:52] <usr13> !bug | sjefen6
[13:54] <Deutopia> phonon will let you configure the default
[13:54] <sjefen6> usr13: Are you joking?
[13:54] <sjefen6> thanks Deutopia. Will try it
[13:55] <usr13> sjefen6: You said: "how do I set line in as default input instead of mic?" From that, I naturally assumed that your "line in" port is misslabled, (on some output, you didn't say where), and is really mic.  Right>?   Wrong?
[13:55] <uglyoldbob> is there a way to get remote desktop like vnc, except without graphics? I need to be able to send keyboard and mouse events to a remote computer
[13:56] <compdoc> uglyoldbob, SSH?
[13:56] <uglyoldbob> im not aware of a way to interact with the local x display using ssh
[13:56] <uglyoldbob> * i meant the remote x display
[13:57] <sjefen6> usr13: Line in and mic is 2 different inputs, mic is default. I was wondering how to change the default audio input from mic to line in
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> uglyoldbob  ssh -X ?
[13:58] <uglyoldbob> im not sure it is feasible to play a game by using that method
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> ah, games
[13:59] <blubee> guys can anyone tell me why whenever i restart my computer a gnome-terminal fills my entire screen 1680x1050 and then the additional drivers thing autoruns
[13:59] <blubee> they are not listed in my startup services and i am not sure how to get them to stop, anyone have any clue?
[14:01] <BluesKaj> blubee, type exit in the terminal prompt , first of all
[14:02] <usr13> sjefen6: In what application?
[14:02] <blubee> BluesKaj i exit the terminals before i restart my laptop, i would prefer not to have such a large terminal greet me every restart
[14:03] <Deutopia> exit not close
[14:03] <luwei> i get a usb wireless adapter,but i can't find the drivers
[14:03] <blubee> exit
[14:03] <Deutopia> is wireless enabled?
[14:04] <Hatori> luwei,what the usb wireless card?atheros?
[14:04] <usr13> sjefen6: You probably have a settings button, right?
[14:04] <newzi> Can I use init.d to add in any command I want to execute at startup?
[14:05] <jrib> newzi: what kind of command?
[14:05] <usr13> newzi: You can use /etc/rc.local
[14:05] <luwei> ralink

[14:09] <sjefen6> usr13: system default
[14:09] <newzi> I've never head of a shortend name for that usualy just "personal home page"
[14:09] <usr13> sjefen6: Well, I don't know.

[14:10] <Hatori> tuffgong,what you mean?
[14:10] <tuffgong> Hatori, i have dlink router  but i fail to use it
[14:11] <tuffgong> soory  there Hatori   i mean capable
[14:11] <usc911> Hi guys, having a bit of an issue with vsftpd, would anyone care to have a look at this gist and see how I would be able to resolve my problem? https://gist.github.com/3743352
[14:11] <tuffgong> Hatori,  even to make some  configuration
[14:11] <Hatori> tuffgong, you should describe more detail why you get fail, what are you have been configured .. Etc ...
[14:12] <usr13> usc911: proftpd is easier.
[14:12] <newzi> Ewwwww, vsftp
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> I use gftp
[14:12] <usc911> vsftpd seems to be working fine
[14:12] <usc911> I just cant write to the root dir
[14:12] <usc911> and sub directors I can write fine
[14:12] <newzi> Do you have the correct perms?
[14:12] <newzi> chown?
[14:13] <usc911> same perms on all dir's
[14:13] <usr13> usc911: Is this a webserver?
[14:13] <usc911> usr13: yes
[14:13] <tuffgong> Hatori,  i have dlink router and i want to share with my fellows bye linking pc's using router
[14:14] <tuffgong> Hatori,  should i have know some commands
[14:14] <BluesKaj> tuffgong, all linux pcs or some windows as well  ?
[14:14] <usr13> usc911: You should create new user for each new account.  New pages can then be in their /home/ dir and symlinked to DocumentRoot's dir.  That way, they just ftp into their home dir.
[14:14] <smith12> Hi all.. I was just woundering if anyone new which version of skype to download for ubuntu 12.0.4 lts ?

[14:16] <BluesKaj> then tuffgong , you have many options , ssh , smb , nfs , just to name a few
[14:16] <usr13> usc911: Trust me, it's the easies/simpliest way.  You just do ln -s /home/usr13/public_html /srv/httpd/htdocs/New-Site
[14:16] <usr13> for each user

[14:21] <prashant_123456> MonkeyDust, rename 's/foo/bar/g' -- *
[14:23] <tuffgong> Hatori,  fails to look for the default ip
[14:23] <DoctorD90> try <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:23] <newzi> Sweet mother of god,
[14:23] <Wishing_Master> hi i need help regarding boot menu, i have deleted the linux partition and now i am getting a grub rescue screen every time i boot the system
[14:23] <newzi> What IP do you have?
[14:23] <newzi> <IP_ADDRESS>? <IP_ADDRESS>?
[14:23] <Hatori> tuffgong, try to access through browser
[14:24] <John> Ahhh, i'm going nuts :P
[14:24] <John> I'm on Ubuntu now, but i still can't make and i still can't use the binary packages
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> prashant_123456  where do you see that line, rename has other options, you're showing sed parameters
[14:24] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: thats because grub can't find its configuration file (you deleted it)
[14:24] <smith12> i forgot to ask do i run that as a sudo command in terminal? or just google it?
[14:25] <L3top> John: what are you trying to make and how are you trying to use the binary packages
[14:25] <bazhang> smith12, to add the partner repo?
[14:25] <prashant_123456> MonkeyDust, dont know but if i dont put -- it returns error message
[14:25] <BluesKaj> !networking | tuffgong
[14:25] <bazhang> !partner | smith12
[14:25] <DoctorD90> someone good with bash pls??..i have a little trouble..
[14:25] <CrazyGangster> Hello ppl, any1 knows how I can check the memtest.log?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> !network | tuffgong
[14:25] <tuffgong> BluesKaj,
[14:25] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510, yeah i know, what to do know/
[14:25] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: install a bootloader
[14:25] <L3top> DoctorD90: going to need more information.
[14:26] <BluesKaj> !ssh | tuffgong
[14:26] <bazhang> John, is build-essential installed
[14:26] <Pici> prashant_123456: the -- in cli commands generally means to stop accepting arguments. This might explain things better: http://serverfault.com/questions/114897/what-does-double-dash-mean-in-this-shell-command
[14:26] <DoctorD90> L3top: im getting trouble with expr in a bash, this is script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1212998/   ...problem is in 2* and 3* expr..it reply expr: syntax error, why?
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> prashant_123456  can't help, i'm sure someone else can
[14:26] <John> bazhang:  yeah :(
[14:26] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: bootloader? where do i get that?
[14:26] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: what os are you using?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> !smb > tuffgong
[14:26] <tuffgong>  BluesKaj is it !ssh command
[14:26] <Mrokii> Hello. I have heard that there is a way to save sessions of opened programs in Ubuntu, so that they're opened the next time. But is there a way to do that for selected apps only and in a way that they automatically open all documents that were open at the last start?
[14:26] <John> L3top: mfold_util (not plain mfold) http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=mfold/download-mfold
[14:27] <prashant_123456> MonkeyDust, now i dont get error message if i dont put -- in the command
[14:27] <BluesKaj> !nfs > tuffgong
[14:27] <prashant_123456> Pici, thanks
[14:27] <prashant_123456> MonkeyDust, thanks
[14:27] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: i am running ubuntu from a pen drive now. i do use winxp and ubuntu
[14:27] <John> With the binarys, i see "./sir_graph: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[14:27] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: what do you want to do? just have xp?
[14:27] <CrazyGangster> Hello ppl, any1 knows how I can check the memtest.log?
[14:28] <ninjix> is there a way to access the "previous version" feature on windows cifs shares from Ubuntu?
[14:28] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: i want to have xp now and install ubuntu l8r again
[14:29] <Sokel_> Don't even bother with XP.
[14:29] <Sokel_> It's support is dead.
[14:29] <tuffgong> BluesKaj, see my priate msg
[14:29] <ThinkT510> Sokel: support for xp ends 2014
[14:29] <L3top> DoctorD90: if [[ "$UPT" -ge "29030400" ]]; then
[14:30] <Wishing_Master> sokel, xp is the best from windows so far....i like it
[14:30] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: you need to restore xp's bootloader then or just go ahead and install ubuntu (which will install grub)
[14:30] <BluesKaj> tuffgong, no pm please ,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[14:30] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: how do i restore xp bootloader?
[14:31] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: using your xp install disk
[14:31] <pliny_> hey so I can't download the 32 bit 12.04 ISO. it gets to 95% and never finishes
[14:31] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: oh u mean fixmbr command
[14:31] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: windows help in ##windows
[14:31] <ThinkT510> Wishing_Master: essentially yes
[14:31] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: hahaha thats funny
[14:33] <Wishing_Master> ThinkT510: i am going to try that now.
[14:34] <DoctorD90> L3top: no..problem is in expr..not in if....i have tried too, but it replies me errors like you tell me
[14:34] <L3top> The if gave me a syntax error
[14:34] <L3top> running without works for me.
[14:34] <Layke> When I restart my server, I have a service that automatically starts with undesirable config settings... How might I change these? I'm not sure wher eand the docs aren't clear.
[14:34] <L3top> Perhaps I do not meet the condition one moment
[14:35] <PythonStudent> if I have wireshark running on ubuntu as a guest os through parallels, it's only going to ever be able to look at guest os connections and won't be able to observe either host os or local network connections, right?
[14:36] <SaCruM> Question: My mozilla thunderbird don't get my e-mails automatically. Only if i open the application. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.. Is there a way to fix it or an alternative program that runs well on Ubuntu?
[14:36] <jrib> John: why can't you use the binary package?
[14:36] <John> jrib:  when i run it i see: ./sir_graph: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:37] <ThinkT510> PythonStudent: sounds like you need bridged networking
[14:37] <jrib> John: 1) make sure you are using the right architecture (64 bit or 32 bit) 2) install libjpeg62
[14:37] <SaCruM> Question: My mozilla thunderbird don't get my e-mails automatically. Only if i open the application. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.. Is there a way to fix it or an alternative program that runs well on Ubuntu?
[14:38] <tuffgong> BluesKaj, ready install nfs
[14:38] <John> jrib:  i ran apt-get install libjpeg62
[14:38] <John> re-ran sir_graph: got the same error :(
[14:38] <John> no i ididn't
[14:39] <John> I lie
[14:39] <PythonStudent> ThinkT510: how would I do that?
[14:39] <John> sir_graph: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:39] <jrib> John: I leave the rest as an exercise
[14:39] <John> heh
[14:39] <John> ok :)
[14:39] <John> One quick question - can you get apt-get to search?
[14:39] <SaCruM> Question: My mozilla thunderbird don't get my e-mails automatically. Only if i open the application. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.. Is there a way to fix it or an alternative program that runs well on Ubuntu?
[14:39] <tuffgong> BluesKaj, ready install nfs
[14:40] <PythonStudent> oh wait hang on
[14:40] <CrazyGangster> Hello ppl, any1 knows how I can check the memtest.log?
[14:40] <PythonStudent> I think I know what I have to do
[14:40] <jrib> John: you can use "apt-file" to search for files inside a package, or the web service http://packages.ubuntu.com, or ubottu
[14:40] <ThinkT510> PythonStudent: no idea sorry, i've never used parrallels
[14:40] <PythonStudent> ##parallels is empty so I figured this was the next best place to ask
[14:40] <tuffgong> Hatori,  need help on that
[14:40] <PythonStudent> sorry
[14:42] <SaCruM> Question: My mozilla thunderbird don't get my e-mails automatically. Only if i open the application. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.. Is there a way to fix it or an alternative program that runs well on Ubuntu?
[14:42] <Sokel_> SaCruM: That's by design. Unless you're using gnome shell, empathy will do it.
[14:43] <SaCruM> Sokel_: but isn't empathy a chat? Is it a e-mail client as well?
[14:43] <bazhang> Sokel_, thats not correct
[14:43] <Sokel_> Oh yeah, I'm sorry, this is ubuntu. Sad :)
[14:43] <bazhang> SaCruM, he may be thinking of evolution
[14:44] <SaCruM> bazhang: and evolution is shown on the mail thingy next to my clock?
[14:44] <L3top> DoctorD90: simple problem. escape the glob
[14:44] <bazhang> SaCruM, should do, yes; if you mean check mail etc under the envelope icon
[14:44] <DoctorD90> ???
[14:45] <DoctorD90> L3top: what does do you meaan?
[14:45] <L3top> DoctorD90: yy=$(expr "$YY" \* 29030400)
[14:45] <DoctorD90> aaaaaaa
[14:45] <SaCruM> bazhang: yes. I'll install it, thanks. By the way, evolution is the native e-mail client on kubuntu, right?
[14:45] <L3top> DoctorD90: use quotes around variables, and avoid backticks. Good luck
[14:45] <DoctorD90> many many thx
[14:45] <bazhang> SaCruM, not sure on that; perhaps ask in #kubuntu
[14:45] <DoctorD90> i let's try ^^
[14:45] <SaCruM> bazhang: well thank you very much :)
[14:45] <fling> how to delete duplicate photos?
[14:45] <bazhang> SaCruM, its kmail iirc
[14:46] <kuba_> e
[14:46] <kuba_> hej
[14:46] <kuba_> jestem z polski
[14:46] <bazhang> fling, where, in what context
[14:46] <IboS> hello people how have information about my webcam such as resolution supported ? thanks
[14:46] <bazhang> kuba_, #ubuntu-pl
[14:46] <Sokel_> IboS: It's all based on your hardware.
[14:46] <usc911> Right guys, sacked off vsftpd and got proftp up and running. I am now having the same issue that i cannot upload in to the root directory but I can upload/delete sub directories. All have the same perms, any advice?
[14:47] <L3top> DoctorD90: learn to execute scripts you are working on with: bash -x /path/to/script.sh     will often expose the problem.
[14:47] <IboS> Sokel_: lsusb ?
[14:47] <Sokel_> IboS: This is not windows. Most things that happen in windows will do the same in Linux, like resolutions and appearance of webcams.
[14:47] <DoctorD90> L3top: i use chmod +x script     the first time..then no more :)
[14:47] <DoctorD90> maybe is differente
[14:47] <jrib> John: by the way... if you just want to search by package name and description, you can use apt-cache
[14:48] <John> oh okay
[14:48] <IboS> Sokel_: yes but how to know the resolution it just to have an idea
[14:48] <IboS> *it's
[14:48] <L3top> DoctorD90: very different... this bash -x illiterates everything it is doing. Try it and see.
[14:49] <ThinkT510> IboS: open it up with cheese and see what resolutions it offers
[14:49] <DoctorD90> ^^ THX ^^ im looking for a thing like this ^^ thx!
[14:50] <IboS> ThinkT510: any commande line to do that ?
[14:50] <IboS> *is there
[14:50] <ThinkT510> IboS: not sure sorry, i'm talking about cheese the gui camera app
[14:51] <IboS> okay
[14:51] <IboS> well
[14:51] <IboS> it doesn't work with cheese but it works with vlc
[14:51] <ThinkT510> interesting
[14:51] <IboS> i want to know my resolution to configure motion ThinkT510
[14:52] <tuffgong> kuba_
[14:52] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: i have fixed the issue
[14:53] <ThinkT510> !yay | wishingmastermin
[14:53] <L3top> DoctorD90: bash -n will quickly tell if there are any big problems without actually running the script as well. If there is no return then it is not broken... however it may not function as you desire ;)
[14:54] <DoctorD90> *.*
[14:54] <DoctorD90> great.....
[14:54] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: thanks to you for the idea of fixboot/fixboot
[14:54] <DoctorD90> i didny know that :D ....
[14:54] <DoctorD90> me to make a "server setting wizard" i have reinstalled vps 10 times xD
[14:54] <DoctorD90> -n is usefull...
[14:55] <oal> Why do all java apps look terrible in linux? Is there a way to make them look more native?
[14:55] <Ir3x> list
[14:55] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: i am going to install ubuntu now. tell me what should be the size of swap partition?
[14:55] <popsch> is there a way to selectively disable the preview of file types in nautilus? I don't want to preview text files but still want to preview graphics files.
[14:56] <Ir3x> I usually set swap as around 300mb
[14:57] <mneptok> wishingmastermin: is this a laptop?
[14:57] <ThinkT510> wishingmastermin: at least the same size as you ram (if you want to use hibernation)
[14:58] <PythonStudent> hi it's me again
[14:58] <PythonStudent> how do I configure ubuntu to connect to a wpa encrypted wifi
[14:58] <PythonStudent> I have the password for said wifi but I can't see anywhere to specify it
[14:58] <newzi> wpa_supplicant
[14:58] <PythonStudent> and ubuntu is not p- thanks
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> !wifi > PythonStudent read this
[14:59] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: i have 2 gb ram so should i make 2 gb swap partition. i am not going to use hibernation.
[14:59] <Ir3x> So how do I list available wifi networks in terminal?
[14:59] <newzi> iw list
[14:59] <ThinkT510> wishingmastermin: sounds good
[14:59] <newzi> is how you list all SSIDS
[14:59] <wishingmastermin> okay
[15:00] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: ok i am going to install ubuntu now
[15:00] <mneptok> newzi: it might be helpful to address comments to a particular nick, so the person asking knows the command is for them.
[15:00] <ThinkT510> wishingmastermin: have fun
[15:00] <Azzle-Dazzle> does anyone here have Gnome 3 AND ps3 media server ?
[15:00] <bazhang> Azzle-Dazzle, whats the actual question
[15:00] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: the Java GUI app?
[15:01] <newzi> How do I send with a nick?
[15:01] <|Anthony|> can anyone point me to a good tutorial on setting up sound such that each user session is tied to only one audio device. If user A logs in he gets audio over HDMI. If user B logs in he gets the on-board audio for example
[15:01] <mneptok> newzi: type the first few letters of the person's nicj, hit <tab>
[15:01] <mneptok> newzi: *nick
[15:01] <Azzle-Dazzle> I aint sure, But since ive installed gnome 3, ps3 media server wont work, I get this error, something to do with /tmp bla bla failed to map segment... Whenever it starts up
[15:02] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: i more favor. my wireless card doesn't work in ubuntu dur to firmware issues. there is a command to load bcm drivers on startup.if you can help me with that command, i will be much obliged.
[15:02] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: you're doing a DNLA server for the PS3?
[15:02] <newzi> mneptok: Test
[15:02] <newzi> Did that work?
[15:02] <mneptok> newzi: pass :)
[15:02] <newzi> :D
[15:02] <ThinkT510> wishingmastermin: i don't use broadcom
[15:02] <ThinkT510> !bcm | wishingmastermin
[15:02] <Azzle-Dazzle> I believe so mneptok I just used the default install instructions from the site, i even built it from git (what ever that is)
[15:03] <root__> hello
[15:03] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: i'm not asking about configuration, i'mn asking about what you're using this software for. you're doing a streaming server to a PS3, yes?
[15:04] <root__> hello ande
[15:04] <Azzle-Dazzle> oh my bad, Yes thats my aim, mneptok , Ive tried others like media tomb and ushare but they just aint as good!
[15:04] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: this is a Java GUI app that requires you to login and start the app before the PS3 can see the server, yes?
[15:04] <Azzle-Dazzle> yes thats correct !
[15:05] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: ah, OK. i would suggest MediaTomb. it does not require a GUI login to function, thus it starts when the machine does.
[15:05] <wishingmastermin> ThinkT510: there is command to load a module on startup. i want to know that command
[15:05] <ThinkT510> wishingmastermin: look at what ubottu told you
[15:05] <ThinkT510> !bcm | wishingmastermin
[15:05] <llutz> wishingmastermin: add the module-name to /etc/modules
[15:05] <mneptok> Azzle-Dazzle: and getting that GUI up and running is the cause of whatever error you're getting.
[15:05] <wishingmastermin> llutz: yeah thats the one
[15:05] <demonoid_com>   !bcm | wishingmastermin
[15:06] <Azzle-Dazzle> well I can start the app, But this error message comes up over it, I prefered ps3 media server because of its advanced options which i cant find in other servers, Plus it plays almost every format going
[15:06] <demonoid_com> !bcm | demonoid_com
[15:06] <bazhang> demonoid_com, /msg ubottu
[15:07] <wishingmastermin> llutz: what is the exact syntax to add a module to /etc/modules ?
[15:07] <demonoid_com> babilen but why
[15:07] <ourea> hi - I'm doing an ssh -X to a mac OS system and a weird thing happen: for a given application, display forwarding works fine (the window open on the local machine), and for another, display forwarding does not work (the window opens on the remote).  Any hints?
[15:07] <llutz> wishingmastermin:just add the module-name of the module to load to /etc/modules, its a plain text-file (sudo nano /etc/modules)
[15:08] <Fabio> hello
[15:08] <Fabio> !list
[15:08] <wishingmastermin> llutz: sudo gedit /etc/modules would allow me to edit the file,correct?
[15:08] <llutz> wishingmastermin: whatever editor you prefer
[15:09] <bazhang> wishingmastermin, gksudo gedit
[15:09] <bazhang> !gksudo | wishingmastermin
[15:09] <wishingmastermin> llutz: module name would be bcm43,correct?
[15:10] <newzi> Hey guys, How can I update ubuntu from the command prompt?
[15:10] <wishingmastermin> bazhang: thank for the command
[15:10] <newzi> Not apt-get update
[15:10] <smith12> Hello again. I went and got skye but cant make vid calls..really inoying
[15:10] <smith12> anyone help me out
[15:10] <llutz> wishingmastermin: read the howto you had been linked to, it shows you the module-name too
[15:10] <llutz> wishingmastermin: seems to be b43
[15:10] <jrib> newzi: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  .  Or do you want to update to a new version of ubuntu?
[15:11] <newzi> jrib: That will be just fine, Thank you heaps :)
[15:12] <smith12> ok working on it.. thanks man. old school skype dont work right
[15:12] <smith12> lol
[15:12] <wishingmastermin> llutz: bye for now,going to install ubuntu...
[15:12] <toshgsh> when i type uptime terminal it shows that 3 users are on my system but its only 1
[15:13] <ElixirVitae> hi~
[15:13] <Azzle-Dazzle> I think i may have solved my ps3 media server issue, Ask the administrator to add the line where can i find this >> "usershare owner only = false"
[15:13] <Azzle-Dazzle> 	to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
[15:13] <ElixirVitae> I am thinking about partioning my HDD, which file system is faster/more stable in linux/ubuntu
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> toshgsh  type 'who' to find out who they are (without the quotes)
[15:13] <Azzle-Dazzle> sorry, Bad type up lol >>    Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false"
[15:13] <Azzle-Dazzle> 	to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
[15:13] <bazhang> ElixirVitae, ext4
[15:14] <ElixirVitae> and what if I want to use that partition in Win
[15:14] <hrovira> hi
[15:14] <ElixirVitae> I have my swap and / as ext4
[15:14] <bazhang> ElixirVitae, use it for what
[15:14] <ElixirVitae> use it for data storing
[15:14] <bazhang> ElixirVitae, swap is swap, not ext4
[15:14] <ElixirVitae> and accessing from both Win and Linux
[15:14] <ThinkT510> ElixirVitae: use an ntfs partition to share data between both os's
[15:14] <ElixirVitae> and it seems I am limited with 4 partitions
[15:15] <bazhang> ElixirVitae, for sharing data with ubuntu and windows, make a ntfs partition then
[15:15] <ElixirVitae> swap is swap?
[15:15] <ThinkT510> ElixirVitae: use logical partitions
[15:15] <ElixirVitae> I thought it was ext4
[15:15] <toshgsh> name1: tty7 name2:pts/0 name3: pts/2 all the names are the same. MonkeyDust
[15:15] <ThinkT510> ElixirVitae: swap is its own filesystem
[15:15] <ElixirVitae> oh, didn't know that
[15:15] <bazhang> !partition > ElixirVitae
[15:16] <BluesKaj> !swap
[15:16] <ElixirVitae> oh, gracie bazhang, ubottu
[15:16]  * ElixirVitae goes over to read.
[15:18] <YamakasY> lol... distro upgrade... it takes 57 seconds to download all packages... hell that's LONG!
[15:18] <ElixirVitae> ThinkT510 as well
[15:19] <toshgsh> what's the difference between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade?
[15:19] <bazhang> toshgsh, one refreshes the sources.list, one upgrades packages if possible/available
[15:19] <ThinkT510> toshgsh: update refreshes what is available and upgrade actually gets it and intalls it
[15:20] <toshgsh> can anybody suggest a virtual machine?
[15:21] <bazhang> toshgsh, vbox
[15:21] <ThinkT510> toshgsh: virtualbox is nice
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> toshgsh  virtualbox
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> ThinkT510  was faster
[15:21] <toshgsh> MonkeyDust: <toshgsh> name1: tty7 name2:pts/0 name3: pts/2 all the names are the same. MonkeyDust
[15:21] <toshgsh> oops
[15:21] <toshgsh> thats was for MonkeyDust
[15:22] <Technic_> anyoine here know squid 3 ?
[15:22] <toshgsh> MonkeyDust: the output of who
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> toshgsh  they are probably your own name
[15:22] <toshgsh> MonkeyDust:they are the same but why i have 3 users..
[15:23] <toshgsh> MonkeyDuest:also the last name : pts/2 has a different time than the others
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> toshgsh  that's normal, i'm sure someone else can explain it better than I
[15:24] <toshgsh> okay
[15:24] <toshgsh> Why when i type uptime in terminal it says that my system has 3 users on,but its only 1 me...
[15:27] <Pici> toshgsh: because the other two logins are both your own.  if you type 'w' it will explain what login is what.  You probably have 1 for your xwindows session, and another for your terminal
[15:28] <toshgsh> Pici: thanks for that...
[15:29] <toshgsh> how i can the hidden files in my desktop except nautilus?
[15:29] <toshgsh> without*
[15:30] <codemaniac> toshgsh: just rename the files and start with a DOT "."
[15:31] <codemaniac> ".filename" is a hidden file
[15:31] <toshgsh> codemaniac:Yeah i want my files to remain hidden
[15:32] <codemaniac> toshgsh: they will remain hidden , but only be shown with a "ls -a"
[15:33] <toshgsh> codemaniac: i cant them in any way from desktop?
[15:33] <toshgsh> see*
[15:33] <codemaniac> are the files on desktop ?
[15:33] <toshgsh> codemaniac: yes
[15:33] <toshgsh> codemaniac: i can see them via nautilus
[15:34] <toshgsh> codemaniac: and with ls -a
[15:34] <toshgsh> codemaniac: the question is if i can see them directly from desktop
[15:34] <codemaniac> toshgsh: what is the question ?
[15:35] <toshgsh> codemaniac: if i can see the hidden files directly from the desktop

[15:40] <Pessimist> What's a good GIT tutorial?
[15:40] <codemaniac> there should be an option somewhere "show hidden files"
[15:40] <codemaniac> Pessimist: the GIT book maybe
[15:41] <Pessimist> codemaniac, http://git-scm.com/book ?

[15:45] <toshgsh> codemaniac:okay anyway thanks ill work on that
[15:45] <John> Ah - oh no, now I have a new error -_-;
[15:45] <John> freeglut (sir_graph): failed to open display ''
[15:46] <John> I installed freeglut3 as part of getting sir_graph to work
[15:47] <John> oh wait, some hope
[15:48] <John> echo $DISPLAY returns nothing
[15:48] <John> while on my Mac (where everything works) it returns /tmp/launch-f5cbex/org.x:0
[15:48] <b00b00> hi
[15:48] <John> So i guess i have to somehow set my enviroment variable to something which makes sense to freeglut?
[15:49] <b00b00> i try to work with mono, but when installing mono-apache-server4 it stuck (on restarting apache), any way to avoid it?
[15:49] <morfeu> savio: NAO DA PRA POSTAR TUDO
[15:49] <morfeu> hello, can someone help me configure my dhcpd, q being my gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> = http://www.4shared.com/office/57c-n8ZM/dhcpdconf.html
[15:49] <savio> morfeu, don't use 4shared.com use pastbin
[15:50] <TheLordOfTime> !pastebin | morfeu
[15:50] <TheLordOfTime> morfeu, don't use 4shared.com as a pastebin, we don't want to download the file we just want to see the text contents.  Its more of an IT issue if we have to download the file, because malware could be attached
[15:50] <TheLordOfTime> hence please just use a pastebin
[15:52] <vp18> hey guys did anyone get the beta 1 for 12.10?
[15:52] <bazhang> vp18, #ubuntu+1 for 12.10
[15:55] <mbeierl> John, how are you accessing the machine?  Where is your X display client running?
[15:55] <John> mbeierl:  erm, i'm not really using X
[15:55] <John> I'm just trying to use freeglut from the command line
[15:55] <John> actually, i'm just trying to use glut from the command line, but it seems that freeglut was the only avalible package in apt-get
[15:55] <beboj> hi , does anyone use this Sierra Wireless, Inc. Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem (QDL mode)?
[15:55] <mbeierl> John, how did you get to the command line?  You said this is an Amazon machine, right?
[15:56] <John> mbeierl:  yeah :]
[15:56] <John> ssh
[15:56] <mbeierl> John, and the client machine - is it Windows, Mac or Linux?
[15:56] <John> Mac
[15:56] <mbeierl> John, you could try ssh -X to forward X display back to the client machine
[15:56] <John> wait wait wait
[15:56] <John> So there's this program, called sir_graph - it takes data and draws graphs
[15:57] <John> It needs GLUT to run, so i apt-get install freeglut3, and it stops giving me errors
[15:57] <mbeierl> John, ok.
[15:57] <John> I then point it at some data, and it tells me: freeglut (sir_graph): failed to open display ''
[15:58] <John> Checking on a Gentoo machine, (which probably doesn't use freeglut) i see display is also set to ''
[15:58] <John> and it doesn't have this problem
[15:59] <John> I have no idea what freeglut is or why i need it btw
[15:59] <mbeierl> John, so it sounds like it is wanting to display something back to you.  I don't know the program or its underlying libraries, so I don't know why that would be
[15:59] <morfeu> savio: TheLordOfTime http://imagebin.org/228847
[16:00] <TheLordOfTime> morfeu, wrong.
[16:00] <John> mbeierl:  Well, it's meant to write a pretty .ps file to disk
[16:00] <TheLordOfTime> morfeu, apt-get install pastebinit.   then do cat /path/do/dhcpd.conf | pastebinit
[16:01] <aackley> Hi all
[16:01] <mbeierl> John, sorry - I got that much, but what I meant is I, like you, don't know what it is wanting to do.  If you do "ssh -X user@amazonpc" and then once logged in, execute "xterm" what happens?
[16:02] <John> oh
[16:02] <John> what does -X do?
[16:02] <John> I'm just doing ssh user@amazonpc
[16:02] <John> with the -i file
[16:02] <mbeierl> John, it tunnels the X display over ssh.  It will create a pseudo X server for you
[16:02] <John> oh
[16:02] <mbeierl> John, it /might/ just be enough to trick the library into running
[16:02] <John> well i'm not doing that, i'm just using the command lone
[16:03] <John> ahhhhh
[16:03] <mbeierl> John, it will set a DISPLAY env variable for you
[16:03] <aackley> Does anyone know if there is a channel for the Chromium browser?
[16:03] <bazhang> !alis | aackley
[16:03] <John> eek, X opened on my ma
[16:03] <John> c
[16:03] <mbeierl> John, but before that, I just wanted to see if the "xterm" will even show itself locally on the mac using ssh -X
[16:04] <mbeierl> John, perfect.  Go ahead and exit out of it, then try your sir_graph again.
[16:04] <John> woah, weird
[16:04] <mbeierl> John, ssh -X is a low-tech form of remote display :)
[16:04] <John> X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
[16:04] <John> freeglut (sir_graph): failed to open display 'localhost:10.0'
[16:04] <mbeierl> John, did you need to "su" or "sudo" to run it?
[16:05] <mbeierl> or change users?
[16:05] <John> i ran it as root
[16:05] <John> i sudo su'd
[16:05] <Calinou> *why*
[16:05] <John> ....
[16:05] <Calinou> sudo su is useless today
[16:05] <John> I don't need to sudo-prefix everything
[16:05] <John> but yeah i know it's bad -_-;
[16:05] <mbeierl> John, ok, that is expected then.  You logged in as user, and SSH allows the display to be forwarded for "user" only, not any sub su'd users
[16:06] <Pici> You shouldn't need to run everything with sudo privleges anyway.
[16:06] <John> odd
[16:06] <John> Woah
[16:06] <mbeierl> John, have you tried sir_graph as user?  It might not need root permission.  Or perhaps the data or target directory could be set to allow user to write to it
[16:06] <John> yeah, er
[16:06] <Sidney__> wqhen uninstalling vbox in synaptic why are some entries highlighted red
[16:06] <John> I think it's about to open on my local machine!!
[16:07] <John> it's reeeally slow though
[16:07] <mbeierl> John, Yes.  That is what I feared.  That somehow the version you have wants an actual GUI
[16:07] <morphias> excuse me, I just installed 12.04 last night and updated it but I just realized the sound is not working.
[16:07] <alvin_rxg> Hello all! could someone give me a hint, that which server from /etc/init/ started the dhclient3 ? dhclient3 takes long time to finish its job.. i wanna to disable it or put it background.
[16:07] <Varazir> I have updated my system to 12.10 and now I can't resolv hostnames
[16:07] <John> mbeierl:  bugger :/
[16:08] <Varazir> or I can't resolv local adress
[16:08] <Varazir> ignore the last statement
[16:09] <morphias> 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 on a dell inspiron 1520.... i don't know what to do to get the sound to work...
[16:09] <John> I think my X11 has crashed
[16:09] <Varazir> it's all hostnames
[16:09] <Varazir> did cat/etc/resolve.conf and it's empty
[16:10] <John> morphias:  maybe you're deaf?
[16:10] <John> Have you heard *any* noises today?
[16:11] <morphias> John, no. lol.... i tried playing music on the computer and even did sound test but I cannot get the sound to really play.
[16:11] <Lantizia> Anyone familiar with faxing on ubuntu? perhaps with the efax utility?
[16:12] <John> morphias:  so you have heard sounds today or you haven't heard sounds today?
[16:13] <bazhang> Lantizia, using efax-gtk ?
[16:13] <John> I'm only kidding, i have no idea how to fix your problem either :(
[16:13] <morphias> John, ever since i installed 12.04 i do not recall any sounds playing...
[16:13] <John> oh
[16:13] <bazhang> !behelpful | John
[16:13] <Lantizia> bazhang, either efax or efax-gtk
[16:13] <bazhang> Lantizia, so whats the problem
[16:13] <Tkkoe> I have a connection with ubuntu vps and i want to update it. How?
[16:14] <orated> Hello! How do I configure Ubuntu to use USB audio device instead of on-board card?
[16:14] <Lantizia> bazhang, when I listen in on it sending a fax... i hear it dial... do the intial loud BEEP noises, then it does a high pitch BEEP then I hear it send data for about half a second - and it goes silent
[16:14] <Lantizia> bazhang, efax claims the dial then failed
[16:14] <tomboy64> is someone familiar with wireless crda under ubuntu?
[16:15] <tomboy64> i have the suspicion that they are not applied correctly, yet i can't use iw - it complains bout missing nl80211
[16:15] <bazhang> Lantizia, and all the settings are correct?
[16:16] <bazhang> File nl80211 found in linux-headers-3.2.0-22   tomboy64
[16:16] <tomboy64> cool
[16:16] <tomboy64> thanks

[16:17] <zoktar> have this weird thing that my rightclick menus are behind windows
[16:17] <bazhang> zoktar, what about right click toolbar : always show on top
[16:18] <Lantizia> bazhang, well I've no idea what to use for the init string

[16:18] <SaCruM> Question: I uninstalled mozilla thunderbird, and installed evolution mail client. My question now is, how can i make evolution my default email client and how to make it work on the email notification icon next to my clock. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
[16:19] <bazhang> SaCruM, no need to repaste so quickly, give us a moment to check for the answer
[16:19] <SaCruM> bazhang: i'm sorry.
[16:19] <morphias> huh.... does anyone know what i can check to get my sound working in ubuntu 12.04?
[16:20] <bazhang> evolution-indicator   <--- is that installed SaCruM
[16:20] <SaCruM> bazhang: i don't know :x
[16:20] <entropy-> when i try to run a program (not as root) it's path is messed up. How do i fix it?
[16:20] <bazhang> SaCruM, then check
[16:20] <abaratican> !dist-upgrade
[16:20] <gsteinert> entropy-: define 'messed up'
[16:21] <abaratican> !upgrade
[16:21] <bazhang> morphias, open a terminal, and type alsamixer , make sure nothing is muted, and PCM is around 80
[16:21] <bazhang> abaratican, /msg ubottu
[16:21] <entropy-> gsteinert i am trying to run a program (not as root) and it tries to execute the file with the wrong path
[16:21] <SaCruM> bazhang: how can i check that? :x
[16:21] <zoktar> relogging worked.
[16:22] <gsteinert> entropy-: what command are you using? what is the desired path? and what path do you get?
[16:22] <SaCruM> bazhang: oh, found it. going to install it now :D
[16:22] <bazhang> SaCruM, sudo apt-get install evolution-indicator from the terminal
[16:22] <morphias> bazhang, cooll thank you!
[16:23] <Mamadex> @someone from US:  please download this file and write the content of file (is just a password) here for me ==> http://crazyshare.net/bc7d     THNX
[16:23] <Sidewinder1> morphias, If that doesn't work, ubottu's links, below might help.
[16:23] <Sidewinder1> !sound | morphias
[16:23] <SaCruM> bazhang: done. I installed it. I'll be notificated now when i receive an email?
[16:23] <bazhang> Mamadex, wrong channel
[16:24] <Mamadex> in my country is forbidden to downloading
[16:24] <John> mbeierl:  do most versions expect a real gui?
[16:24] <Mamadex> would u do that
[16:24] <John> I'm installing x now so i can xinit
[16:24] <bazhang> Mamadex, its offtopic here. so stop
[16:24] <morphias> thank you Sidewinder1 but bazhang took me to the right application to fix it
[16:24] <John> eek - no screens found, fatal error
[16:25] <Sidewinder1> Mamadex, Perhaps try in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[16:25] <morphias> volume was turned down some how in the mixer...
[16:25] <John> Could have seen that coming :')

[16:32] <brokas> =P
[16:32] <cyclist_2> Hello, there! what is your opinion so far about 12.04.1 regarding speed; I have it installed on a VirtualBox and is very slow; I have not yet tried it on a live session; for instance, opening a .small odf spreadsheet with LibreOffice is almost painfully slow, as it is using the Ubuntu Software Centre
[16:33] <willdabeast> cyclist_2 I am loving it to be honest :) I run it on a 6 year old Sony Vaio Laptop
[16:33] <bazhang> cyclist_2, what is the issue? a vbox is slower than a livecd, which is slower than an install
[16:34] <bazhang> cyclist_2, please state your exact issue and dont poll
[16:34] <John> I think i give up - i've tried uninstalled freeglut3, reinstalling, etc etc - but it seems that it always needs a display
[16:35] <John> Not true on Gentoo - and perhaps true on Mac (has a display)
[16:35] <John> But at least I got this far on Ubuntu. On Amazon Linux i couldn't even get the program to run
[16:35] <John> Still, not much good if it doesn't make postscript files

[16:41] <delfis> hello
[16:41] <willdabeast> cyclist_2 The wireless works fine for me, even though I use a wired connection. Could be different between laptops though, I would just test it out.

[16:42] <delfis> allow-transfer { @ip_secondary; }
[16:42] <delfis> what should i set there?
[16:42] <selite> For example git add example.c git commit -m "fix" and then git push origin master wont work.

[16:43] <delfis> sorry :)
[16:43] <cyclist_2> bazhang: I have other Guest Operating Systems running on VirtualBox, so I **know** how they behave compared to the real thing; if you do not want to answer, would it not be simpler to say nothing, instead of trying to behave like an Operator?

[16:57] <bizhanMona> HI I am trying to get some info on UEFI support on ubuntu, is this a right forum? Thx
[16:59] <vect0ry> designbybeck_: and, is lubuntu working?
[17:03] <discovered> hello, I installed Ubuntu 12.4 on my Dell xps 15 . My Wireless hardware is disabled .... It was worked before but suddenly got disabled.... I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me please?
[17:03] <B0g4r7_> Is it normal for /usr/lib to not be in ld.so's search path?
[17:04] <B0g4r7_> ldd shows "libcurl.so.4 => not found", yet right in /usr/lib there is libcurl.so.4, and nothing in /etc/ld.so.conf.d tries to point it there.
[17:04] <B0g4r7_> Is that normal, or is my system messed up?
[17:05] <mangdood> How would I go about reinstalling a metapackage and the packages it installed?
[17:05] <bazhang> mangdood, which one
[17:05] <mangdood> bazhang: kde4
[17:05] <wilee-nilee> discovered, Working before with what OS?  Can you name the card?
[17:05] <bazhang> discovered, does it have a hw switch on the side?
[17:06] <bazhang> mangdood, the exact metapackage name is what?
[17:09] <mangdood> bazhang: ...sorry, I had it installed on my system by default; I'm using kubuntu, but I was under the impression there was a metapackage for it
[17:10] <IdleOne> mangdood: kubuntu-desktop
[17:10] <mangdood> IdleOne: thanks
[17:10] <discovered> wilee-nilee, It worked with Ubuntu . First i was disconnect from wired network and then i reconnect with wifi(It was connecting automatic too). But suddenly i saw it is disabled .. Not sure why. here is card details: http://pastebin.com/pDXNtdQL
[17:11] <Guest61855> anybody know a channel for inspircd help?
[17:11] <bazhang> discovered, hardware switch on the side of the machine?
[17:11] <bazhang> !alis | Guest61855
[17:11] <Discordian93> Hei
[17:11] <mangdood> How would I go about reinstalling the metapackage kubuntu-desktop and the packages it installs* [:
[17:12] <IdleOne> mangdood: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[17:12] <discovered> bazhang, from Bios?
[17:12] <mangdood> IdleOne: I'll give it a try
[17:12] <bazhang> discovered, hardware switch on the outside of the machine
[17:13] <hanning> could anyone please take a look at this, and tell me whats wrong with it? (i don't get rear sound) http://paste.debian.net/190607/
[17:13] <Aster> I have a problem with getting my third display to work. The first two are connected to an external nvidia card, and the third is connected to my on-board Intel GPU. Ubuntu just doesn't detect my third display at all.
[17:13] <Aster> Yet it works fine on Windows.
[17:13] <mangdood> IdleOne: The reinstallation process went by way too fast for me to guess that it reinstalled all of the dependencies of the metapackage
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> discovered, Here is a link post 2 links to a fix supposedly. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2055471
[17:14] <Discordian93> I visited a website that chrome supposdedly blocked because it had a virus, but it still managed to play a sound file over and over until I closed my browser, even after the tab with the malicious site was closed. I used wget on the site, analyzed the file with clam and it said it was a malware known as .JS popupper, should I do a reinstall? It's teh first time this has happened to me under linux.
[17:15] <AntiD2> Could anyone give me a very quick hand? I'm new to ubuntu server and there is just 1 thing that i'm trying to do, but can't seem to do it..
[17:15] <bazhang> Discordian93, google chrome from the google repos?
[17:15] <Discordian93> yup
[17:15] <IdleOne> mangdood: if there wasn't any errors it completed successfully
[17:15] <bazhang> Discordian93, and this is related to ubuntu how?
[17:16] <Discordian93> I was just wondering if it could affect the erst of my system
[17:16] <Discordian93> rest*
[17:16] <Discordian93> If I have to do a reinstall of ubuntu, not of chrome
[17:16] <mangdood> IdleOne: Would it have checked its dependencies for problems?
[17:16] <IdleOne> Discordian93: only if you run Chrome as root
[17:16] <bazhang> Discordian93, that seems drastic
[17:16] <IdleOne> mangdood: yes.
[17:17] <Discordian93> I didn't run chrome as a root, I closed it after that
[17:17] <wilee-nilee> Discordian93, Your biggest protection on badware is your brain, you might consider sing it. ;)
[17:17] <wilee-nilee> using*
[17:17] <bazhang> Discordian93, should be safe then
[17:17] <b00b00> any reason why when installing package mono-apache-server4, it stuck while trying restarting apache2?
[17:17] <IdleOne> Discordian93: you are fine. stay away from that site.
[17:18] <AntiD2> When i ssh into my vps, it starts me off in bash, and i'm pretty new to all of this, slowly trying to learn, and i did it by accident but i need to do it again, how do i switch from bash to my user (frank)
[17:18] <Discordian93> I know, I usually don't end up in virus sites, I'm not visiting it again. I'm never clicking on a link from 4chan again.
[17:18] <mangdood> IdleOne: Even using a fresh home/user, I still get problems with specific applications from that package though. Doesn't that indicate a problem with the system?
[17:18] <chewtwig> hi :)
[17:19] <AntiD2> anyone?
[17:19] <chewtwig> how come my internet works with ubuntu but not with the distro i currently use
[17:19] <IdleOne> mangdood: it indicates a problem with those specific packages. What exactly is the issue?
[17:19] <IdleOne> chewtwig: ask the channel of the distro you use.
[17:19] <bazhang> AntiD2, patience
[17:19] <Guest61855> ok. no channels for inspircd. anybody here ever run an inspircd server?
[17:19] <chewtwig> thank you
[17:19] <bazhang> Guest61855, try #freenode
[17:20] <mangdood> IdleOne: Urgh. I have less than 10 minutes before I need to leave
[17:20] <Guest61855> thanks
[17:20] <IdleOne> mangdood: Come back when you have more time than :)
[17:20] <mangdood> IdleOne: Basically, certain widgets and kde applications will cause my session and system to lock up
[17:20] <mangdood> plasmids might be a better term
[17:21] <discovered> wilee-nilee, Dell-wifi is blocked: http://pastebin.com/jDMH053f i tried to unblock it several time with command "sudo rfkill unblock all" but it is still same... Still should i try that?
[17:21] <IdleOne> mangdood: I'm not sure I can be of any help with that but I suspect that the problem is plasmoid specific and not the entire system.
[17:21] <IdleOne> mangdood: try reinstalling the plasmoids in question
[17:22] <wilee-nilee> discovered, Not sure enough to say yay or nay, but the fix is a per-session and info to have it put in a file, seems safe to try.
[17:22] <discovered> Thanks , Gonna try
[17:22] <mangdood> IdleOne: I tried that, with a mysterious error telling me that some part of the installation failed. :D... I'll have to work on this when I get back..
[17:23] <IdleOne> mangdood: We will be here
[17:23] <mangdood> IdleOne: :p

[17:28] <IdleOne> rootlinuxusr: #bash is probably going to be more help
[17:28] <yugal> Can someone help ?
[17:30] <rootlinuxusr> Oh. thought it had #!/bin/bash at the top... I figured if the script worked, I would create a cron job to run it every... hour or so.

[17:31] <ki9a1> with latest ubuntu radeon.audio=1 and a computer that only has hdmi out; often after the boot loader if the tv is not on the hdmi channel it ends up with a purple screen. If I reboot with hdmi active I get xbmc as configured
[17:31] <ki9a1> what could that possible be and how do I remedy it?
[17:32] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: u there?
[17:32] <billc> is there an easy way to move a file back and forth between excel and ubuntu
[17:33] <ki9a1> open office calc

[17:34] <yugal> Can someone help me get my headphones work ?
[17:34] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: if u remember the last time we chat i was able to fix the booting problem into winxp.
[17:35] <ThinkT510> Winshing_Master: yeah
[17:35] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: after that i installed ubuntu, but i am not able to log in winxp again
[17:35] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: i tried using boot-repair
[17:37] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: boot-repair removed grub and reinstalled it but again winxp is not booting up

[17:38] <b1gtuna> Can anyone tell me why I should do sync after writing files to an SD card?
[17:39] <IdleOne> b1gtuna: to make sure the files were not corrupted
[17:39] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: grub does show the winxp option but when i select it and press enter it says no file. so i again used the winxp cd to fixmbr and fixboot. i am able to login winxp but not in ubuntu
[17:40] <ougogo> Hi, how can I obliged my computer to boot CD ?? Yesterday all was good, but now it don't want CD or USB boot .......... All are enable on BIO, i've test less HD and with bios reset but no result. Can you hep me ?
[17:40] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, to flush the contents of the in memory disk cache to the SD card itself.  Linux uses memory to help speed up disk I/O
[17:41] <AntiD2> When i ssh into my vps, it starts me off in bash, and i'm pretty new to all of this, slowly trying to learn, and i did it by accident but i need to do it again, how do i switch from bash to my user (frank)
[17:42] <Pici> AntiD2: Your question doesn't make any sense. Are you trying to switch to a different shell that you prefer?
[17:42] <AntiD2> Pici, i'm really new..So i'm not sure how to explain..Could we take this to messaging or skype to help me show you?
[17:43] <Pici> AntiD2: no, I don't do skype. Just support here in IRC.  If you need to show a paste, you can use a pastebin.
[17:43] <ThinkT510> Winshing_Master: i've never had any problems with grub
[17:43] <Winshing_Master> ThinkT510: i am luck!!!
[17:44] <AntiD2> Pici, Okay so when i start putty and i login to my vps, the console reads out -bash-4.2# and i can send commands right? but i installed ruby,rvm,and rails onto the vps..but i can't run anything unless i'm on the current user..like Frank# or whatever it is..i'm not sure how to get to that point.
[17:44] <wilee-nilee> Winshing_Master, If you reload the MS bootloader to the mbr and it works, you must now reload grub to the mbr to have it run and read the ms boot.
[17:44] <wilee-nilee> !grub > Winshing_Master
[17:44] <AntiD2> I thought there would be a simple command to just switching to the main user, and i found su, i tried doing su Frank, didn't work.
[17:45] <ougogo> Hi, how can I obliged my computer to boot CD ?? Yesterday all was good, but now it don't want CD or USB boot .......... All are enable on BIO, i've test less HD and with bios reset but no result. Can you hep me ?
[17:45] <Pici> AntiD2: sounds like you need to change directories. if you sshed into the server as Frank, then that is who you are logged in as.
[17:45] <Winshing_Master> wilee-nilee: i am taking a break to watch two and a half men.
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, There is a out of the bios boot from menu mine is triggered with f12 at powering on yours may be the same or different.
[17:46] <vfulco> Hey Gang-  Quick ? for the Pros pls re: 12.04
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> Winshing_Master, Hehe chuck lorrey that stuff will kill your mind.
[17:46] <AntiD2> Pici, when i opened putty all i did was enter the IP of the vps, and logged in as the username the site gave me for SSH which is console-lueOwpY5, but there is a user on the server named Frank, i don't know how to login as that user or switch to it.
[17:47] <drag0nius> i've problems using canon i905d printer on ubuntu 12.04, it's printing very blurry and stretched (like it printed on 2 pages or something)
[17:47] <llutz> AntiD2: type "su - frank" enter password
[17:47] <Winshing_Master> wilee-nilee: hahahah but i need a breka now, i have been doing this from past 3 hrs now.
[17:47] <AntiD2> llutz, says Unknown id..
[17:47] <AntiD2> but i know it works because i accidently accessed Frank earlier but i didn't know how lol
[17:48] <llutz> AntiD2: type "su - Frank" enter password
[17:48] <wilee-nilee> Winshing_Master, Same producer I believe of the Big Bang Series and about 5 others, he is rolling in the dough.
[17:48] <Pici> AntiD2: or you could use sudo to switch to it, but using your (consol-whatever's) password: sudo -u Frank -i
[17:48] <AntiD2> says unknown user:Frank...hmm this can't be right.
[17:48] <wilee-nilee> !pm | ougogo
[17:49] <ougogo> !pm wilee-nilee Ok
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, I don't PM the channel is your best help, and I would not just PM without asking in the future. ;)
[17:49] <vfulco> updated to 12.04 server from 10.04, everything went fine. restarted machine a few weeks later (today) and any attempt to upgrade causes error "/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.14 unsupported version 0 of Verneed record"  Have scoured net and ubuntu forums, no advice
[17:49] <AntiD2> i hate being so new at things, let me try creating a new user
[17:49] <rootlinuxusr> For my previous issue, would it be easier to use autofs to check if the drive is mounted, and then mount it?
[17:49] <vfulco> this is affecting the sysv-rc package mainly.  TIA
[17:51] <llutz> AntiD2: "getent passwd" shows you existing users, those with UID <1000 are system-users most likely
[17:52] <delinquentme> so what exactly is a symlink... like how does it behave
[17:52] <xibalba> i have an older IBM T43 laptop, 1.5GB of Ram Centrino M processor. What version of Ubuntu do you guys think would work best? xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu?
[17:52] <delinquentme> if I delete a symlink ... it wont delete the original file right?
[17:52] <delinquentme> it will just open it ... or say .. take you to the symlinked dir
[17:52] <xibalba> delinquentme, no you're unlinking the link
[17:53] <xibalba> delinquentme, copy the file to /tmp/ that it's linked to and try it deleting/unlinking the symlink
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, Did you understand my reference to the out of the bios bot menu? Some do not realize this option, it allows you to not change the bios to boot another HD or usb or cd....etc.
[17:53] <xibalba> delinquentme, i think you can use the unlink command
[17:53] <AntiD2> OK so i did just to test, sudo -u root -i and it is spamming my console with " -bash: Add:: command not found" ?
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> boot*
[17:54] <AntiD2> I may have messed something up, just going to reinstall OS and try this one more time.
[17:55] <MonkeyDust> AntiD2  don't be root if you don't know what you are doing
[17:55] <vfulco> tried softlinking /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.10 to 5.12 and 5.11 to 5.14.  no luck
[17:55] <d8bhatta> Is there any chances that local host blocks any specific website?
[17:55] <vfulco> sorry .11 to 5.12
[17:57] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : Yes, F9 is for boot menu, and i've press ESC for select device for boot
[17:58] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, Hmm that worked?
[17:59] <bitbuzzer> I'm creating a crontab, using "crontab -e", and when I try to save (Ctrl+O) I see "File Name to Write: /tmp/crontab.ZxnPeB/crontab".  where should I save the file to?
[17:59] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : no...
[17:59] <llutz> bitbuzzer: nowhere, it will be installed correctly from that tmp-file
[17:59] <bitbuzzer> llutz: ok, thx
[17:59] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, I use the arrow keys to move to the device to boot then enter.
[18:00] <killer_> where are the installed .deb packages in the 12.04
[18:00] <vfulco> so no answers with libperl.so.5.12 issues?
[18:02] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : yes yes, After there is a hyphen that appears top left of the screen flashes. And then the CD should start. But it does not work and the pc boot to HD
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, THis cd has worked on this computer?
[18:03] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : no it's an other CD, but same configuration and same brand
[18:04] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : and with an other computer I've check files, all are present
[18:04] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, Could it be a burned to fast or md5sum problem, or just a bad burn in general?
[18:05] <Nek> Hello everybody. I had a question. On windows©®, i have a check to enable the deletion of echo on the microphone. I'm searching a function who do the same thing in Ubunutu.
[18:05] <Nek> Do you know something like that ?
[18:06] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, I would use a usb myself, but cd's are cheap if you have empty ones check the md5sum of the ISO and burn it slow as an image.
[18:06] <ougogo> wilee-nilee : I left to choose the burning speed by software. And the image was already burned to another CD and ran.
[18:08] <delinquentme> can you setup symlinks to remote files?
[18:08] <delinquentme> like over ssh >_<;;;
[18:08] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, Sometimes using a what seems a good cause and effect is not really the answer to success, I would md5sum check the ISO, tell us if you do not know what that means and try another slowest burn possible or a usb.
[18:08] <dr_willis> delinquentme: with sshfs  perhaps

[18:11] <dr_willis> fruitbag:  to a windows box? thats doable with samba
[18:11] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, Cool good luck, ;)
[18:12] <ougogo> wilee-nilee Thanks, but wich speed is good for burn it ?
[18:12] <fruitbag> dr_willis: I want it to be mountable via another Linux box.
[18:12] <dr_willis> fruitbag:  then samba, nfs, or ssh/sshfs can do it
[18:12] <fruitbag> Right. Thanks.

[18:14] <wilee-nilee> ougogo, I doubt you have a 1x it used to be 4x
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> suggested
[18:15] <ougogo> OK
[18:23] <mtrd--> Hello. I'm trying to install xubuntu 12.04 from a usb drive. I downloaded it, and used netbootin. When i boot on this usb drive, i get a command-line with a (initramfs) prompt. I tried to mount my usb drive, but /etc/fstab seems to be missing. Any idea how i could reach the installation procedure ? The current, to be formatted OS is an infected (rootkit) Debian Squeeze.
[18:23] <zErTs> hi
[18:24] <Joel_re> hey, does anyone know how to get rid of the prompt - as whats mentioned in this question - http://askubuntu.com/questions/187337/unattended-grub-configuration-after-kernel-upgrade
[18:26] <wilee-nilee> Joel_re, Were you using grub-legacy?
[18:26] <chewtwig> i just looked again & my own computer still hasn't reconfigured my hard drive yet...
[18:27] <fantaghir> Joel_re, U could set up time to 1s
[18:27] <fantaghir> Joel_re, it would disappear immediately
[18:27] <fantaghir> well, just an idea ;-)
[18:28] <jgrevich> How can you launch gnome-disk-utility from the command line? I can't seem to find the executable for it
[18:29] <trism> jgrevich: palimpsest
[18:30] <jgrevich> trism: thanks, odd name, any idea how it got that?
[18:30] <dark-age> Ubuntu running as a PDC?
[18:30] <Joel_re> fantaghir: heh, well Im trying to make this install unattended
[18:30] <Joel_re> wilee-nilee: this is when Im trying to run an upgrade on precise
[18:31] <zoktar> using nautilus, trying to delete some files, i need to elevate to root, is it possible to have nautilus do this automatically if needed ?.
[18:31] <wilee-nilee> Joel_re, Is the link your question it is regarding the use of menu.list that is grub-legacy, grub 2 is now used.
[18:32] <sp4rc> guys where should i put "LANG=de_CH.utf8 gimp" in the unity configuratio when i would like to start gimp in german?
[18:32] <bekks> zoktar: Better delete the file using "sudo rm"
[18:32] <Joel_re> wilee-nilee: yes, I am on grub-legacy
[18:32] <Joel_re> this is on LTS
[18:32] <zoktar> aye was hoping there was some sort of gksudo extention
[18:32] <wilee-nilee> Joel_re, hehe that is a mistake but carry on.
[18:32] <sp4rc> this works great from command line, but i cant edit the unity starter
[18:32] <trism> jgrevich: no idea
[18:33] <Joel_re> "12.04.1 LTS"
[18:33] <Joel_re> wilee-nilee: a mistake?
[18:33] <Joel_re> Im sorry, I dont understand
[18:33] <sp4rc> i am running the latest version Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[18:34] <wilee-nilee> Joel_re, Grub-legacy is not used in ubuntu, you can but it has been grub 2 for awhile.
[18:34] <Joel_re> ok
[18:34] <Joel_re> I was just wondering how I should get rid of that prompt
[18:35] <rance> I have a bash script that uses grep, but is buggy.  I need to change to egrep, but egrep refuses to search a directory structure.
[18:35] <rance> buggy in the sense that the search parameters are wrong
[18:36] <jgrevich> trism: I can't even begin to guess the meaning in relation to the disk utility
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> Joel_re, You might try #ubuntu-server as well.
[18:37] <jgrevich> trism: pal•imp•sest - noun - 1.) A manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing. 2.) Something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.
[18:37] <Varazir> Is there a buf with the DHCP in Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[18:38] <bekks> Varazir: What do you mean exactly?
[18:38] <Pazzie> daklan-away: are you here?
[18:38] <Pazzie> Janos: are you here?
[18:38] <Varazir> I have a PC I PXE boot, during the startup I see the IP-config get the ocrrect DNS server but when the system have booted up the resolve.conf file is empty
[18:38] <Varazir> bekks: was to you
[18:39] <Varazir> worked before I upgraded
[18:39] <Pazzie> bekks: remember me?
[18:40] <Varazir> bekks: could have been a "problem" that made my setup working
[18:40] <bekks> Varazir: Because PXE is not responsible for correctly filling in the /etc/resolv.conf of a box. PXE is used before the box even knows that it will boot a linux.
[18:40] <bekks> Pazzie: Not sure, no.
[18:41] <Joel_re> wilee-nilee: thanks
[18:41] <Varazir> bekks: that I understand but if the PXE gets the correct info I shouldn't have a problem with the dhcp server ( works on other systems)
[18:41] <Pazzie> bekks: i was the guy who had the lvm problem, i removed my hdd and i believe you where one of the guys who tried to help me solve my problem
[18:41] <whitman> Is there a way to find all packages which aren't associated with currently used repo?
[18:41] <whitman> *a currently
[18:42] <Pazzie> bekks: Janos and daklan-away also tried to help me
[18:43] <bekks> Varazir: And still PXE isnt responsible for filling in the /etc/resolv.conf -- Using PXE, I assume you are booting an entire linux image from your network. In that case, you have to modify the image to contain your wanted /etc/resolv.conf entries.
[18:43] <bekks> Pazzie: Maybe. So you've been successful?
[18:43] <Varazir> bekks I have edit but it resets everytime I reboot
[18:43] <Pazzie> bekks: yess, and i want to share it
[18:44] <Varazir> bekks: I used this solution for PXE setup https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto .
[18:44] <bekks> Varazir: Of course. Because you have to modify the image contents before booting and not the /etc/resolv.conf after booting the image.
[18:44] <Varazir> I don't use a image, I boot from a NFS share
[18:45] <aymen_> hello every one
[18:45] <aymen_> i need irc channel for postfix
[18:46] <lauratika> under openvpn certain sites wont load at all i try changing the MTU but no changes, please some one can help?
[18:46] <Pici> aymen_: did you try #postfix ?
[18:46] <aymen_> it's my first time i use irc for chat
[18:46] <bekks> Varazir: So did you edit the etc/resolv.conf inside the NFS share, before booting your PXE client?
[18:48] <Pazzie> bekks: to discribe my problem again i had a lvm with 3 hdd, and i removed my os hdd (because it was to small and i could not resize it with gparted) but did not know that you cannot mount the other hdds again (after a reinstall on a different disk) if you removed the os disk. Because there is where all your lvm information is stored. and you cannot mount or read the other lvm partitions in a other system. Well i found a solution, aft
[18:48] <m4rzh4ll> please help me
[18:49] <m4rzh4ll> i don't remember chan of ubuntu italia
[18:49] <m4rzh4ll> please link me
[18:49] <Varazir> bekks: after the system booted up
[18:49] <ScribbleJ> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and am trying to get this gcc4mbed compiler installed.  Can anyone tell me what on Earth is going on here?  http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=rmV3QNN5  It tells me a file doesn't exist that is /right there/.
[18:49] <llutz> !it | m4rzh4ll
[18:50] <Joel_re> lauratika: are you sure MTU isnt an issue?
[18:50] <b1gtuna> mbeierl: thanks. Sorry I was away
[18:50] <b1gtuna> IdelOne: thanks!
[18:50] <Joel_re> I would verify it with ping  - try sending various packet sizes
[18:51] <zErTs> Hi  it's the second time that it happened  http://postimage.org/image/ewfkxywqp/ what dosent mean ?
[18:51] <lauratika> joel_re: i set it to even 550 and no changes, set it higher than 2950 and nothing either...
[18:51] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, you're welcome.  I forgot the question/answer though.  Glad it worked whatever it was :)
[18:51] <bekks> Varazir: Then shutdown your PXE client, and edit the etc/resolv.conf in the nfs share on your nfs server. Then boot up your PXE client again.
[18:52] <WHAT_UP> processes killed with kill -9 still have their memory freed, correct?
[18:52] <Varazir> bekks: I have this in the file # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
[18:52] <Varazir> #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[18:52] <b1gtuna> mbeierl: it was about why I need to sync when I write files to SD card =D
[18:52] <push> problem in reinstalling mysql
[18:52] <push> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213402/
[18:52] <WHAT_UP> the issue with kill -9 is in case the program was leaving stuff on the hard drive or needs to do something before exiting?
[18:52] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, Right!
[18:52] <bekks> Varazir: Then you are using NetworkManager, dont you?
[18:52] <b1gtuna> mbeierl: So is there a way to make the sync operation work faster? ext4 is supposedly faster than ext3?
[18:53] <lauratika> Joel_re: how can i ping packet sizes??
[18:53] <Varazir> bekks: I'm only sshing into the system
[18:53] <TheLordOfTime> lauratika, do you mean how do you change ping packet size?
[18:53] <Joel_re> lauratika: ping -s
[18:53] <lauratika> well sorry everyone i mean how to do it?
[18:54] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, the speed of the write to the SD card cannot be changed - it is a hardware limitation.  Buy a higher speed card it the only way to make it faster.  There are filesystems that are supposed to be optimized for SD (wear leveling, etc) but I personally do not see the improvement
[18:54] <erkan^> why is unity so slow?
[18:54] <erkan^> gnoem 2 was quick
[18:54] <Varazir> bekks: far as I know is the NM gui only
[18:54] <erkan^> how can that?
[18:54] <bekks> Varazir: So you dont have access to the server serving the nfs share?
[18:54] <bekks> Varazir: And NM is not GUI only.
[18:54] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, for that, ext2 is probably just as good as 3/4 when it comes to writing to SD
[18:54] <b1gtuna> mbeierl: ya i don't see the performance improvement, so that's why I came here to ask. Thanks for the clarification!
[18:54] <Joel_re> lauratika: you just ping -s 1400 <some server>
[18:54]  * mbeierl feels free to be corrected if I'm wrong
[18:55] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, you are welcome.
[18:55] <b1gtuna> mbeierl, how are you so knowledgeable? Just curious
[18:55] <Varazir> bekks: yes I have access to the nsf share, if I edit the file on the nsf share. wouldn't it just be overwriten the system boots up again ?
[18:55] <Varazir> bekks: ok
[18:55] <greenit> hi, i need a translation tool, like pootle... is there somethin similar, which is easier to install and handle?^^
[18:55] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, I did some reading on the use of filesystems for SD cards a while back.  I have not seen many changes over the years though.
[18:56] <b1gtuna> mbeierl, I see thanks.
[18:56] <mtrd--> Hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick, i get a (initramfs) prompt when booting on the stick. I can't mount anything, fdisk is not available. I seems to be on the usb stick but i don't know how to proceed to installation. Any idea ?
[18:56] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, searching for terms like "best filesystem for sd card linux" type of thing.  Interesting reading, but nothing will replace your own personal experience.
[18:56] <wilee-nilee> mtrd--, Try another loader after checking the md5sum of the ISO.
[18:57] <lauratika> Joel_re: ok, thanx... now what exactly need to look for?
[18:57] <mbeierl> b1gtuna, I can also say that if you are planning to use the card in other systems, nothing beats good old VFAT (the DOS filesystem) for portability.
[18:57] <Joel_re> lauratika: well try different sizes, between 1000-1400
[18:57] <Joel_re> does it work
[18:57] <Joel_re> Id start with the largest
[18:58] <mtrd--> wilee-nilee: another loader ? do you mean, instead of unetbootin ?
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> mtrd-- Yeah there are handfuls.
[18:58] <lauratika> Joel_re: it's working with 950
[18:58] <mtrd--> wilee-nilee: okay, thank you :)
[18:59] <lauratika> so what i do know?
[19:00] <qwebirc49361> Someone talk spanish
[19:00] <Joel_re> lauratika: nothing larger?
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> mtrd--, I use this one it is a multiloader format the usb with gparted though it is picky here. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[19:00] <Joel_re> lauratika: ping -M do -s <packet size> <server> -c5
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> It is a linux loader
[19:00] <Joel_re> try that
[19:00] <Joel_re> it should prevent the packets from being fragmented
[19:01] <Joel_re> so youll figure whats the right mtu
[19:01] <lauratika> yep, larger 1250
[19:01] <qwebirc49361> Hoy i can install LILO
[19:02] <wilee-nilee> qwebirc49361 Is that how?
[19:02] <Sokel> LILO? Yuck.
[19:02] <b1tgl0w> Which humble indie bundle 6 games need wine?
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> Sokel, Lilo has its uses.
[19:04] <lauratika> Joel_re: do i have to restart my browser?
[19:04] <Joel_re> no!
[19:04] <Joel_re> did you set the right mtu?
[19:04] <Joel_re> on your interface?
[19:04] <lauratika> i did the command you told me on terminal
[19:05] <Joel_re> well what was the output
[19:05] <Joel_re> you should get replies from the remote end
[19:05] <lauratika> 0% packet loss}
[19:05] <Joel_re> at what size?
[19:05] <lauratika> rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 95.120/102.981/114.973/9.451 ms
[19:06] <rhall> why does grep pattern /path/to/search/files/* work as expected and egrep pattern /path/to/search/files/* not search the files?
[19:06] <lauratika> 1258 bytes
[19:06] <Joel_re> at what mtu size
[19:06] <Joel_re> ok
[19:06] <Joel_re> anything larger than that works?
[19:06] <bekks> Quite small. Whats not working with 1500 or 1492?
[19:06] <mtrd--> okay problem solved : the usb stick was in fat16. fat32 works.
[19:06] <lauratika> nope
[19:06] <Joel_re> bekks: lauratika seems to be connected via a vpn tunnel
[19:06] <wilee-nilee> mtrd--, hehe, you get a free DOH. ;)
[19:07] <lauratika> is that bad?
[19:07] <Joel_re> lauratika: now you need to set that mtu
[19:07] <bekks> In VPN, at least 1486 or 1478 should work.
[19:07] <Joel_re> on the interface
[19:07] <lauratika> via terminal or it's ok via network managger?
[19:08] <lauratika> joel_re:bekks it's right, my bad...works under 1450...
[19:08] <Joel_re> lauratika: you can set it via terminal something ilke - ifconfig <interface> mtu <mtu value that works>
[19:08] <Joel_re> lauratika: whats the current mtu value
[19:09] <bekks> lauratika: So 1448 should work, as 1456 should, too.
[19:09] <lauratika> i think is 1500, how can i chek that agin?
[19:09] <Joel_re> ifconfig <interface>
[19:09] <Joel_re> ifconfig <interface> | grep -i mtu
[19:09] <lauratika> inetreface would be what?
[19:10] <Vandroiy> Hi! I'm not quite sure I understand the security model for programs...
[19:10] <zErTs> http://postimage.org/image/ewfkxywqp/ help
[19:10] <Vandroiy> Say, I have a .deb file which I trust enough to use on one user account, but not on another
[19:11] <lauratika> Joel_re mtu is set to1492
[19:11] <TheLordOfTime> zErTs, we can't understand that, can you explain a bit about what's going on?
[19:11] <jrib> Vandroiy: .deb packages can only be installed by admins
[19:11] <subcool> can someone help me with a simple command. Im trying to backup my /var to a folder on my USB drive. when i use cp * /media/HDD - it omits the directories
[19:11] <jrib> subcool: cp -a
[19:11] <TheLordOfTime> subcool, try cp --recursive
[19:11] <TheLordOfTime> or -a
[19:11] <subcool> thanks
[19:11] <Joel_re> lauratika: interface might be pppX
[19:12] <Joel_re> I cant be sure of your setup :p
[19:12] <lauratika> yes, thanx joel_re im into that now.
[19:12] <b00b00> I need in cloud init to have packages to be installed in exact order i want, how i do that?
[19:12] <subcool> is it really neccessary to do this as root? im getting denied a lot
[19:12] <Vandroiy> jrib: well... I do have admin rights.   As I said, packages are installed to the system by an admin
[19:13] <subcool> TheLordOfTime, everyting is getting denied
[19:13] <bekks> Vandroiy: You cant install a .deb for a specific user only. Either install it for all users, or dont install it at all.
[19:13] <TheLordOfTime> Vandroiy, it requires superuser or administrator power (sudo) to install software
[19:13] <TheLordOfTime> subcool, even with sudo?
[19:13] <TheLordOfTime> subcool, what "errors"
[19:13] <subcool> i havent tried yet- thats why im asking
[19:13] <subcool> http://support.lexmark.com/index?segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X5470&page=product&frompage=null#1
[19:13] <subcool> ugh
[19:13] <subcool> not that
[19:13] <Vandroiy> bekks: Ah, okay. Hm. I guess I'll have to pick from those two then
[19:13] <subcool> cp: cannot create regular file `/media/TOSHIBA EXT/Var/lib/dpkg/info/libdc1394-22:amd64.md5sums': Invalid argumen
[19:13] <Vandroiy> Thanks everyone
[19:14] <jrib> subcool: try: cp -a -- * /media/HDD
[19:14] <zErTs> TheLordOfTime do you see the pic, if i run it will fix or what
[19:14] <llutz> subcool: vfat-filesystem? cannot hold characters like ":"
[19:14] <subcool> TheLordOfTime, when i do sudo - i get : cp: cannot create regular file `/media/TOSHIBA EXT/Var/lib/dpkg/info/libdc1394-22:amd64.md5sums': Invalid argumen
[19:14] <jrib> ah, llutz's suggestion is probably more likely
[19:15] <subcool> ugh freaking copy command.
[19:15] <TheLordOfTime> zErTs, i see the pic,k but cannot *read* the data on the pic, so therefore you need to explain it withouth the image.
[19:15] <Flexo-B> Hello, I would like to change an icon in unity launcher. Is it possible?
[19:15] <llutz> subcool: tar cvf /media/blah/backup.tar /var
[19:15] <subcool> why is backing something up so freaking difficult.. UGH
[19:15] <subcool> llutz, i was just thinkign that.. thanks..
[19:15] <Flexo-B> I have found the Icon that I want in the right position: usr/shar/icon and so on...but the one in the launcher is different :(
[19:16] <Flexo-B> I have a screenshot that can be helpfull
[19:16] <llutz> subcool: just use suitable filesystems for a backup and all will be fine
[19:16] <subcool> suitable being?
[19:16] <zErTs> TheLordOfTime ok I switch to XFC 4.10 create user loggin and this appening
[19:16] <subcool> this is just a quick backup and restore-
[19:16] <llutz> subcool: backup unix-stuff, use unix.fs
[19:17] <subcool> appearently i created var as a primary parition..
[19:17] <TheLordOfTime> lol
[19:17] <subcool> there has to be something more universal
[19:17] <llutz> subcool: invent it
[19:17] <subcool> lol
[19:17] <subcool> hahaha
[19:19] <Flexo-B> Any help to change an icon in the launcher?
[19:19] <Varazir> bekks: if I run sudo  dhclient after the system have booted up it works
[19:20] <subcool> wth? tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[19:20] <bekks> Varazir: So your DHCP server works fine.
[19:20] <balachmar> \j #django
[19:20] <balachmar> oopsy
[19:20] <Pazzie> i have a problem with mounting my second hdd, if i try to mount it with fstab, and then reboot the system, i keep getting the error about, wrong fs, or bad superblock. But when i mount it manually it works fine...
[19:20] <subcool> llutz, do i have to sudo that?
[19:20] <trism> Flexo-B: find the .desktop file for the launcher (probably in /usr/share/applications/) copy it to ~/.local/share/applications and edit the Icon= lines with the path to your new icon
[19:20] <Varazir> bekks: yes, but after I do mount -a everything gose bad
[19:21] <llutz> subcool: what was the "previous error"?
[19:21] <brightsparks> Hi. How do I rename in the terminal a file like: One Two Three  to a linux file One_Two_Three?
[19:21] <Flexo-B> trism: ok I try...
[19:21] <subcool> llutz, tar: /var/lib/rkhunter/db: Cannot open: Permission denied
[19:21] <subcool> tar: /var/lib/rkhunter/tmp: Cannot open: Permission denied
[19:21] <trism> Flexo-B: you could likewise create a new icon theme and replace the icon for the given generic icon name with a new icon, but it is a bit more involved
[19:21] <jrib> brightsparks: one time or in an automated fashion (like a directory full of such files)?
[19:21] <llutz> subcool: so yes, sudo would help
[19:22] <brightsparks> jrib: one time single file
[19:22] <brightsparks> jrib: or single folder with files in it
[19:22] <jrib> brightsparks: two ways.  Either use quotes ('one two three'), or escape the spaces (one\ two\ three)
[19:23] <delinquentme> OK private and PUBLIC keys ...
[19:23] <delinquentme> I keep a private key locally
[19:23] <jrib> !enter | delinquentme
[19:23] <delinquentme> I ONLY send out the PUBLIC key
[19:23] <Flexo-B> trism: I've found the usr/shar/applications/ and there are all the launcher but not the .destkop file.
[19:24] <trism> Flexo-B: which launcher are you trying to edit, what application?
[19:24] <brightsparks> jrib: thanks v much : )
[19:24] <Flexo-B> trism: rawtherapee
[19:24] <jrib> brightsparks: by the way, you can also just use tab to complete the name and your shell should escape the spaces automatically
[19:25] <trism> Flexo-B: according to a quick apt-file search it should be /usr/share/applications/rawtherapee.desktop
[19:25] <brightsparks> jrib: ok got it thanks again.
[19:25] <Flexo-B> trism: I can see the launcher and in it's propriety I can see the comand "rawtherapee %f" and it has a bad Icon. In usr/share/local/icons there are the nice one.
[19:26] <delinquentme> So when using these keys to SSH between system I should only be passing out the public key.  ALSO jrib I notice how amazing flooded the channel is right now.. and complete commend you for your judicious use of the bots commands to keep the channels spam to a minimum.
[19:26] <hemp> how do i whois with this default ubuntu gnome xchat client
[19:26] <hemp> n/m
[19:26] <TheLordOfTime> hemp, /whois [nick]  :P
[19:27] <hemp> How do I reorganize the client to have it as tabs instead of a tree?
[19:27] <Flexo-B> trism: gotta go, dinner is ready! I'll be back later. Thanx for yout help
[19:27] <TheLordOfTime> hemp: xchat-gnome i dont think can do that
[19:27] <subcool> llutz, thanks
[19:27] <jrib> delinquentme: the private key is the like the key to your house and the public key is the lock it opens (so anyone that wants to install a door for you to use can do so)
[19:27] <hemp> How do I get regalur xchat then :)
[19:27] <Varazir> bekks: Hmm my guess is that the dhclient isn't triggered on startup
[19:27] <TheLordOfTime> hemp, which ubuntu are you on?
[19:27] <hemp> & gratitude
[19:28] <hemp> TheLordOfTime, I run 12.04
[19:28] <hemp> Ubuntu
[19:28] <bekks> Varazir: Correct, because thats mentioned in the guide you linked previously.
[19:28] <smith12> just wanted to mention that i found this on ubuntu forms as i was having issues uninstalling skype sub files.
[19:28] <TheLordOfTime> hemp, install just 'xchat'
[19:28] <TheLordOfTime> instead of 'xchat-gnome'
[19:29] <dominik88> immortals
[19:29] <smith12> never mind lost the link..grr..anyway that was hell
[19:29] <Basic> Hemp open ubuntu software center download normal xchat
[19:29] <smith12> i have a wuestion though
[19:29] <smith12> question
[19:29] <Joel_re> lauratika: any luck :)
[19:30] <hemp> thank you but i have synaptic running i doubt it'll install anything :/
[19:30]  * hemp shrugs
[19:30] <Varazir> bekks: so I was right something that got fixed or changed in 12.04 made the setup to fail. as it have been working for some time
[19:30] <smith12> dose anyone know what the update name server information handler dose?
[19:30] <TheLordOfTime> hemp, you may need to enable universe and multiverse first
[19:30] <TheLordOfTime> in terminal, if you want: sudo apt-get install xchat
[19:30] <hemp> thank you enlightenment being :)
[19:31] <hemp> TheLordOfTime, i have synaptic installing educational packages right now i doubt it'll work
[19:31] <cloudgeek> any IRC for big data mining and analysis!
[19:31] <TheLordOfTime> hemp, yeah wait for it to finish and then install
[19:31] <TheLordOfTime> otherwise fails will occur.
[19:31] <cloudgeek> any irc for research
[19:31] <DexterF> greetings
[19:32] <smith12> i just got this update and am skyptical of it .. could someone please let me know what the update "name server information handler" dose
[19:33] <smith12> aka... resolvconf
[19:35] <Varazir> smith12: man resolvconf
[19:35] <trism> smith12: fixes bug 994575
[19:35] <Varazir> it handels the resolve config file
[19:35] <smith12> ok thanks
[19:35] <Pazzie> is there someone here who can help me?
[19:35] <jan__> Pazzie, be specific
