[07:51] <cache_za> isnt ext4 default in ubuntu?
[07:51] <cache_za> and fedora
[07:52] <claudia> was when I instaled Ubuntu Studio
[07:52] <Church> jellow: i'd check server logs if there isn't some fs corruption and also client side
[07:52] <claudia> defaulted to ext4
[07:52] <OerHeks> claudia, no, filesystem cannot be up/downgraded.
[07:52] <kunji> Getterac7: You really consider Ext4 too buggy still?  I haven't had any issues with it and I started using it as soon as it was in stable versions of ubuntu.
[07:52] <Getterac7> claudia: you can't swap your current file system as far as i know.
[07:52] <reaga> thec4ke: whats cable
[07:52] <Church> kunji: i had few issues with ext4 when used on live migrated VM in citrix xenserver
[07:52] <kunji> Getterac7: Well, you can... copy everything to another disk, reformat, copy everything back...
[07:53] <claudia> OerHeks, just asking becuase I changed a windows Fat32 to NTFS years ago.
[07:53] <claudia> Hoped it was possible
[07:53] <Getterac7> kunji: i've been happy with XFS for years.  I don't see any reason to switch, and i remember reading about possible corruption a year or so ago.
[07:53] <jellow> Church: They are fine on the server must be fs corruption client side of some sorts
[07:53] <kunji> Church: sounds like a VM bug, I get lots more of those than filesystem issues.
[07:53] <qbitza>  /msg NickServ identify qbitza
[07:54] <cache_za> :/
[07:54] <qbitza> crud
[07:54] <Getterac7> kunji: can you reformat a mounted OS drive?
[07:54] <Church> jellow: that's more probable. as ftp uses tcp, not udp, i doubt it's transmission issue. though if transfer gets interrupted and client resumes in some fucked up way, who knows
[07:54] <kunji> Getterac7: It was more than a year ago, was extremely rare, and has been fixed.  XFS if fine though, I'm not saying you need to switch.
[07:54] <kunji> Getterac7: no
[07:55] <Getterac7> kunji: ah ok, i figured it had been fixed... i'll just let ext4 solidify a bit, lol.
[07:56] <claudia> Hear you can go from NTFS back to fat32, not sure who would want to , but more difficult
[07:56] <jellow> Church: Perhaps rsync would work over ftp like it does over ssh need to check thanks for you help
[07:56] <Getterac7> claudia: yeah, that doesn't sound like a great move.
[07:56] <Getterac7> unless you require fat32 for some specific thing that can't read ntfs
[07:56] <kunji> claudia: fat32 works better for a lot of small storage media
[07:57] <claudia> small storage media being what specifically?
[07:57] <chris619> what irc clients are you all using?
[07:57] <kunji> sdcards, usb flashdrives
[07:57] <claudia> Oh yeh they are usually formatted fat32
[07:57] <claudia> not sure why though
[07:58] <claudia> WHy its better for them
[07:58] <kunji> I think it has to do with how the sectors are layed out, but it's been a few years since I read about it.
[07:59] <claudia> I was going to use fat32 for music and video files 3-4 years ago but Linux reads NTFS so well now there no longer is a reason for a NAS or anything
[07:59] <Getterac7> claudia: fat32 has no journaling... it's faster and puts less wear on the drive as far as i understand.
[07:59] <chris619> xchat irssi or other?
[07:59] <Getterac7> i've used irssi over ssh which worked fine.
[08:00] <claudia> Yeh, I thought journaling could be turned off on an NTFS if need be?
[08:00] <Getterac7> claudia: probably can be, but i don't recall how.
[08:02] <claudia> Well, I'm gonig to reboot and see if I get the display setting error popup when logging back into Ubuntu
[08:03] <NuSuey> ah, finally got my Ubuntu, Mac OS Lion, Windows 7, Windows XP .. (quad boot) working .. wohoo ;) love ubuntu
[08:03] <claudia> Not even sure why Grub would default to 600x400. My display or probably anyones these days will display that low of a setting.
[08:03] <claudia> Mine won't do any lower than 800x600
[08:04] <claudia> Way to go NySuey
[08:04] <Getterac7> claudia: try grub2?
[08:04] <claudia> I am working on the same thing. Any tips
[08:04] <claudia> I thought Ubuntu Studio used Grub2
[08:04] <claudia> Not sure though
[08:05] <Getterac7> oh i have no idea.. Grub 1 was default last time i messed with Ubuntu.
[08:05] <magic> Is there a channell command for C++?
[08:06] <claudia> NuSuey, I have been working on a quad boot but have Windows 7, XP, Vista and Linux and thinking about OSX
[08:06] <Getterac7> magic: ##C++ i think is the C++ channel?
[08:07] <magic> Nope, it doesn't work at least on freenode :)
[08:08] <NuSuey> claudia: love my mac os on my pc :) still not sure if I like Linux/Ubuntu more or MAC OS.  Both are awesome (and much better than the WINSH..) but most of the time I'm in Ubuntu.
[08:09] <krzkrz> how do i know if bumblebee is not using my discreet GPU?
[08:09] <krzkrz> anyone?
[08:10] <tripelb> Anyone want to talk re putting Ubuntu on ppc Mac. I get white screen. I followed the directions for that got a plain dark
[08:10] <ikonia> krzkrz: just saying "anyone" is pointless
[08:11] <Getterac7> krzkrz: no idea what bumblebee is.
[08:11] <claudia> NuSuey which Ubuntu do you have?
[08:11] <tripelb> !ask | krzkrz
[08:11] <ikonia> tripelb: he did ask
[08:11] <tripelb> Oops, that of that just after clicking send
[08:12] <NuSuey> tripelb: don't have experience there. I was thinking about the same, on getting linux on an old PPC iBook G3. But I installed MAC OS 10.3 (Panther) there and it works amazing. gave the iBook to parents for Skype and emails :P
[08:12] <digger3> I've setup bridged networking for KVM according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking with ubuntu 12.10 , but upon reboot the network doesn't come up until after ~5 minutes. Seems like some kind of timeout/error. Tips?
[08:12] <NuSuey> claudia: 12.10 ..the 64bit one.. (If I remember correctly :P)
[08:12] <ikonia> digger3: dhcp ?
[08:13] <claudia> Vanilla or Original Ubuntu from Canonical?
[08:14] <claudia> I tend to like Ultimate Linux or Ubuntu Studio since I don't have to install all the apps
[08:14] <tripelb> Nusuey I loaded 12.04 tho they asked us to use the 13. on. When I looked at the CD the file. Structure I saw there looked off. There was not th usual file names.
[08:14] <ikonia> tripelb: 13.04 does not exist as a distribution yet....so why is someone asking you to use that
[08:14] <digger3> ikonia: yeah
[08:14] <tripelb> Directory names/ folder names for the last "file names"
[08:15] <tripelb> It is on the site not a person. I figured that wanted testers.
[08:15] <NuSuey> claudia: uh, you mean if its kubuntu/or xubuntu or what? :) I'm not used to this jargon .. well.. it's the original one.. with unity :) (btw I hated Unity when it was released, but I'm quite used to it now..)
[08:15] <ikonia> tripelb: what site ?
[08:16] <tripelb> Or ikonia they could have found a bug that fixed.
[08:16] <ikonia> tripelb: what site ?
[08:16] <tripelb> I'll find It for you ,, on the ubuntunsite ikonia
[08:17] <NuSuey> tripelb: i think you are talking about Linux Mint :)
[08:17] <NuSuey> saw something about PPC Mint .. 13 somewhere. when I was thinking about putting linux on my iBook..
[08:18] <claudia> NuSuey, Yeh thats what I meant. a lot of people like certain devs.
[08:18] <sara_ubuntu_> any help on how to add installation  in /media to grub?
[08:18] <dr_willis> sara_ubuntu_:  what os?
[08:18] <ikonia> sara_ubuntu_: an installation in /media ?
[08:18] <claudia> Sara I only installed to HDD muself
[08:19] <sara_ubuntu_> dr_willis ikonia ubuntu 10.04  is present in /media/blabla/ i want to add it in grub menu so it loads at boot time
[08:19] <ikonia> sara_ubuntu_: it should not be in /media
[08:19] <ikonia> sara_ubuntu_: ubuntu should be installed on /
[08:19] <NuSuey> claudia: ah, you like the BIGGER (more software) packaged Distros.. I don't I like to choose what I wanna install. Don' t want to have XYZ apps with I'll never use :p
[08:20] <sara_ubuntu_> ikonia i had two ubuntu installations  11.10 and 10.04
[08:20] <ikonia> sara_ubuntu_: it should still not be in /media
[08:20] <dr_willis> sara_ubuntu_: update-grub should see it and add an enrty for it. or make a custom entry for it yoursrlf
[08:20] <sara_ubuntu_> ikonia 11.10 is shown in / and 10.04 is shown in /media /dev/sda2
[08:20] <dr_willis> sara_ubuntu_: so what os are you using?
[08:20] <sara_ubuntu_> dr_willis ikonia i am using 11.10
[08:21] <sara_ubuntu_> dr_willis ikonia i am using 11.10  ubuntu
[08:21] <ikonia> sara_ubuntu_: I'll say it again, ubuntu should not be in /media and grub should not point at /media
[08:21] <dr_willis> it dosent nwed to be moynted for update-grub to see it  i belive
[08:22] <sara_ubuntu_> ikonia ubuntu 11.10 witch which i am logged in is in /   disk /dev/sda5 , while 10.04 (for dual boot) is in disk /dev/sda2 shown in /media in my host installation
[08:22] <Geet_> does linux mint contain gnome 3, gnome 2.x and mate all in one?
[08:23] <sara_ubuntu_> ikonia how can i add entry in grub for disk /dev/sda2
[08:23] <dr_willis> Geet_:  ask in the mint channels
[08:23] <Geet_> dr_willis could you please give me the channel?
[08:23] <Geet_> thanks
[08:23] <krzkrz> what is the super key?
[08:23] <mattus> is there a way to get a "status" update on a bugreport (compiz) other than via launchpad? is there a compiz irc channel?
[08:23] <dr_willis> krzkrz: windows key
[08:24] <dr_willis> !mint
[08:24] <dr_willis> mattus:   #compiz
[08:26] <krzkrz> how do i change the shortcuts do super + d displays the desktop
[08:28] <hexstatik> any idea how to unminimize by pressing icons on the lanchpad
[08:29] <dr_willis> hexstatik: tgeres unifficial hacks to do that. check on omgubuntu or webupd8 blog sites
[08:31] <mattus> is there a "unity" channel?
[08:31] <hexstatik> krzkrz: i beilive you can go to dash and type in keyaboard and from there it should let you change the shortcuts
[08:32] <hexstatik> not sure, but whats up mattus? I just had a unity issue I had fixed
[08:32] <mattus> hexstatik: I'm having this bug since upgraded to 12.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1054049
[08:32] <mattus> hexstatik: where unity essentially crashes on startup
[08:33] <mattus> and I don't see any progress or anything happening even though importance is "high"
[08:33] <mattus> and all the compiz/unity channels seem 'dead'
[08:33] <hexstatik> yea i was having same results but for a completely different reason
[08:34] <mattus> where is the development of compiz happening? is there a mailing list that is active? a bugtracker besides launchpad? all the stuff in the topic of #compiz seems to be outdated and not used anymore
[08:36] <zvacet> I have problem with radiotray program notification is turned on but I don´t get any notifications about songs
[08:37] <zvacet> it look that one song in stuck in notifications and that not allow other to show
[08:37] <tripelb> ikonia: I can't find it. "Perhaps it was a dream I once had, a long time ago". I thought it was bad advice so I ignored it. -- I am done for the night. I--- BUT I downloaded a CD and I just reach t
[08:37] <tripelb> I just read that Ubuntu is a DVD now. But its too late so.. Anon
[08:38] <zvacet> tripelb: put is on usb  ;)
[08:39] <Sling> mattus: http://gitweb.compiz.org
[08:40] <Sling> seems like the project itself has been idle for about a year though
[08:40] <mattus> Sling: yeah
[08:40] <MonkeyDust> mattus  there's #compiz-dev
[08:40] <jil> hello
[08:41] <mattus> MonkeyDust: I'm in there but it seems dead and all the links in the topic are outdated. that's why I'm asking
[08:41] <mattus> the bug I'm interested in is very annoying and seems to affect quite a lot of users
[08:41] <mafia1> running jhbuild build gedit ,gives error http://pastebin.com/h8psv461    even after running sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev ..
[08:42] <jil> I am trying install wine on a new ubuntu system but dpkg is stuck when I try to download some files.... If I copy the link in my browser I cannot dowload either. I had the same problem yesterday concerning the image of ubuntu itself but it's ok today.
[08:43] <jil> Could it be that my IP (from west Africa) is block by some sourceforge or the ubuntu servers?
[08:46] <sara_ubuntu_> how can i add an ubuntu installation present in /dev/sda2 to GRUB menu . update-grub doesnt add it
[08:47] <zvacet> jil: can you browse normally other stuff
[08:47] <kunji> jil: It's always possible that a range of ips got blocked because of a heavy number of hacking attempts from an area, but it could just as easily be your local ISPs.  If you have trouble getting images, there are other mirrors and you can also get it via torrenting.
[08:48] <jil> zvacet yes I can browse, it only some download that don't start and it's the important ones ;
[08:49] <zvacet> jil: try to change server under software center and be sure that you have universe and multiverse repos enabled
[08:50] <jil> kunji,  maybe i should explain all. I got the image via torrenting but it's not complete.  When I do an integrity check on it my torrent client tells me it's missing a few mb, completes them and the bis repetitas... so yesterday I was told to try the http download to see if I can an version with a correct md5sum... that's where I face the http downloading pb
[08:51] <jil> zvacet, OK.  I think that will help. thx
[08:53] <zvacet> jil: np but try too see if it works
[08:54] <krzkrz> where am i supposed to put export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] '
[08:54] <kracekumar> where can I download ubuntu for tablets ?
[08:54] <krzkrz> in ~/.bashrc ?
[08:54] <jil> zvacet, I don't understand why I should change my source server. I have downloading problem with sourceforge.net today
[08:56] <Thor^^> krzkrz: yes
[08:57] <krzkrz> Thor^^, doesnt work
[08:57] <jil> I don't get it really.  Today and yesterday my wine installation get stuck on a dowload from sourceforge.net  the first file (a font) is downloaded allright but the second download does not start.  I have everything up to date and it's a fresh install.
[08:57] <krzkrz> my colors dont reflect
[08:57] <livefree424_> hello all
[08:58] <Thor^^> krzkrz: that export is green user + hostname and blue prompt at the end
[08:58] <Thor^^> krzkrz: make sure you have added it to the end of your .bashrc and that you have sourced it
[08:58] <krzkrz> oh to the end
[08:59] <Thor^^> krzkrz: default ubuntu bashrc contains a variable called force_color_prompt
[09:00] <Thor^^> krzkrz: if you uncomment that line in your .bashrc, it will turn on colored prompt that way as well
[09:00] <Thor^^> krzkrz: if you want another color, then you either replace the PS1 there or add a new one at the bottom
[09:00] <zvacet> jil: well maybe it is your ISP I don´t know
[09:01] <thegrayrace> does anyone know of a good music player for ubuntu?
[09:01] <MonkeyDust> thegrayrace  audacious
[09:01] <zvacet> jil: are you able to install wine with universe and multiverse enebled
[09:01] <krzkrz> how do i make it so when i start terminal, it opens several tabs, each running a specific command
[09:02] <thegrayrace> how do i get that?
[09:02] <reaga> why cant i mkdir ?
[09:02] <thegrayrace> it says it's installed by default but i don't see it
[09:02] <MonkeyDust> thegrayrace  install it like you install any other program
[09:02] <reaga> it says Permission denied when i tried to mkdir
[09:03] <Thor^^> reaga: what is the command you are trying to run?
[09:03] <Thor^^> reaga: with all parameters
[09:03] <jil> no universe and multiverse are enabled but the installation get stuck when it tries to download font from sourceforge
[09:03] <thegrayrace> Installation Audacious is installed by default on Ubuntu Studio. To start it, click Applications -> Sound & Video -> Audacious to start Audacious.
[09:03] <reaga> Thor^^: mkdir /opt/hma
[09:03] <reaga> thats all i typed
[09:03] <zvacet> thegrayrace: if it is installed then justtype name in dash and click on icon  :)
[09:03] <Thor^^> reaga: try sudo infront of it
[09:03] <thegrayrace> but my problem is it's not installed
[09:04] <thegrayrace> and this thing says it should be
[09:04] <reaga> oh it worked i think
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> thegrayrace  sudo apt-get install audacious, or use the software center
[09:04] <reaga> cool
[09:04] <zvacet> thegrayrace: check in software center is it installed or not
[09:05] <Thor^^> reaga: most directories outside ~(your home) require root access to alter them
[09:05] <thegrayrace> thanks, what was the command to update everything again?
[09:05] <thegrayrace> forgot
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> thegrayrace  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:06] <thegrayrace> much appreciated

[09:27] <JohnWHSmith> Hello
[09:28] <JohnWHSmith> Getting some error using gsmsendsms ; any ideas about 111 "connection refused" ? Phone's paired and binded of rfcomm0.
[09:28] <hexstatik> krzkrz: i dont know, but have you tried guake?
[09:28] <Snowie> Hi all. Is there still a GUI for users and groups in 12.04?
[09:29] <JohnWHSmith>  /exit
[09:29] <zvacet> Snowie: I believe so
[09:29] <Snowie> What im really looking for is a solution to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/150909/plex-wont-enter-my-home-directory-or-other-partitions
[09:29] <Snowie> zvacet: any idea where?
[09:30] <krzkrz> tryin it out hexstatik
[09:30] <hexstatik> krzkrz: i find it pretty awesome, i bound it to ~ key
[09:30] <hexstatik> ala quake
[09:31] <krzkrz>  hexstatik does it have sessions?
[09:31] <hexstatik> yes
[09:31] <Snowie> Hmmm,if i just do this for each folder it should work for me right? sudo chown plex * -R
[09:32] <Snowie> what is * -R, that looks like its for individual files, not folders.
[09:32] <zvacet> Snowie: no idea never tried that
[09:33] <Snowie> what will be the name of the group that has access to my files and folders? will it just be my username?
[09:34] <zvacet> Snowie: I think that mean recursively so it is for all files in folder correct me if I´m wrong
[09:34] <Eagleman> llutz its a resident ip address, but i didnt changed for like a half year,  grep mydestination /etc/postfix/main.cf shows eagleman.net
[09:34] <Snowie> zvacet: i agree completley. the issue would be having to do that every time a add a new file to the folder
[09:35] <Eagleman> llutz thats why i am using a relayhost
[09:36] <talus46> greetings
[09:36] <krzkrz> hexstatik, how do you enable sessions?
[09:37] <talus46> will it be possibel to install ubuntu mobile in existing android phones?

[09:41] <Layke> For months I would run some script that would add some repository and install some packages. It seems now that it stops and waits for input.. Has "apt-add-repository ppa:some-package/ppa" always required you to confirm?
[09:42] <llutz> Eagleman: the domain is mydestination and it is a real user, so  why should "virtual.db" being used for him?
[09:42] <llutz> Eagleman: its not a virtual-user nor a virtual domain
[09:43] <codezombie> question, I'm booting ubuntu using a usb ramdisk, grub-efi and an ubuntu iso. I'm using these grub params to boot with, and I added -- vga=795 to the end. However, the console text for the installer is too small to read on my 27" display, and it appears the vga param doesn't actually work. Are there other options?
[09:43] <Eagleman> llutz so its an alias?
[09:44] <llutz> Eagleman: no, its a real existing user your mailserver accepts mail for
[09:44] <Eagleman> SO how do i define that the user jrpoot should only recieve mail on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and not on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[09:47] <llutz> Eagleman: do you want only this user not to get mail, or all users @eagleman.net?
[09:47] <Eagleman> more than 1, not all
[09:48] <Eagleman> for example i want to recieve mail on the domain @eagleman.net
[09:48] <Eagleman> but not on @jrpoot.eu
[09:49] <Eagleman> Maybe it should be more virtual, but then i still want to use the pam users and passwords, so users dont run around with different passwords and usernames
[09:49] <llutz> Eagleman: add "check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/disabled" to your smtpd_recipient_restrictions, and add something like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>554 User unknown" for each user into /etc/postfix/disabled, then run "postmap /etc/postfix/disabled" and "postfix reload"
[09:50] <llutz> ^ for each user you don't want to accept mail for
[09:50] <bigbrovar> Hi guys, trying to setup ubuntu 12.10 for a colleague at work. he uses an iphone 3G and was concerned about it working on Linux. I havent been following development regarding Linux and iphone compatibility for a while now but I heard there has been improvements. can anyone enlighten me on options available ?
[09:51] <codezombie> here's a capture of the screen. I just need to reduce the vga console resolution: http://cl.ly/image/2H1A1o3n3F0q
[09:53] <dr_willis> !iphone
[09:54] <h0m1x> Hi
[09:54] <h0m1x> Is there any command instead of "./" before the name of the executable file to run it ?
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> h0m1x  try sh
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> h0m1x  try sh [command]
[09:56] <h0m1x> MonkeyDust: Okay
[10:00] <zg> note to self: never try and use ubuntu until it's fully up-to-date -_-
[10:00] <daftykins> zg: hehe, what happened?
[10:00] <zg> downloaded 12.04 LTS, and compiz keeps crashing, but apt-get is installing like 250 updates right now
[10:01] <badreligion> does anyone know a good place to get themes for ubuntu
[10:01] <badreligion> they seem pretty limited
[10:01] <bobweaver> Themes ?
[10:01] <goganchic> zg, does system update fix compiz problems?
[10:01] <daftykins> i saw Bad Religion live in west Hollywood :O
[10:01] <bobweaver> Play with dconf
[10:01] <badreligion> yeah, themes for the desktop
[10:02] <badreligion> daftykins: new album coming on the 22nd
[10:02] <dr_willis> badreligion: webupd8 blog site has a niccw ppa and guide
[10:02] <bobweaver> badreligion,  you have played with dconf
[10:02] <daftykins> badreligion: :O
[10:02] <badreligion> dconf?
[10:02] <bobweaver> !info dconf-tools
[10:02] <bobweaver> badreligion,  the editor is called dconf-editor
[10:03] <DaDaDosPrompt> Anyone in here running Gnome 3 on 12.10? I am attempting to but I find that any command called by pkexec errors out with an invalid password input a few seconds after the pkexec password input screen pops up. Unity does not do this in as far as I can tell. I've also tried various keyboards to no avail. Any ideas?
[10:03] <badreligion> oh, sounds complicated
[10:03] <badreligion> !info
[10:03] <bobweaver> badreligion, yeah it is point click fancey effect
[10:04] <bobweaver> badreligion,  what is it that yuou want to change ?
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> !themes | badreligion
[10:05] <bobweaver> psh
[10:05] <zg> goganchic: it's still updating stuff, i'm sure it'll be fine when it's finished
[10:05] <badreligion> i'm liking what I see on the weupd8 site
[10:05] <zg> i had this issue on my laptop -- super SUPER slow, then after 250+ pieces of software updated, it was running smoothly without any issues
[10:06] <badreligion> i'm just not sure how to install a theme
[10:06] <dr_willis> badreligion: read the guides at webupd8
[10:06] <bobweaver> till incompatibility breaks your system
[10:07] <dr_willis> apt-get install hemepackagename
[10:07] <DaDaDosPrompt> welp, looks as though I'm not the only one affected by this 12.10 pkexec & gnome 3 bug. urgh.
[10:07] <unreal_> Anyone here familiar with xubuntu?
[10:07] <badreligion> don't see any guides yet
[10:07] <DaDaDosPrompt> unreal_, somewhat so
[10:08] <dr_willis> badreligion: use  the sites search feature. shuld be several
[10:09] <badreligion> i did
[10:09] <badreligion> and I am
[10:09] <badreligion> aaaaand nothing, unless my search terms are off
[10:10] <dr_willis> enable their ppa. install stuff. change theme with tools
[10:10] <badreligion> must not be a site for noobs
[10:10] <bobweaver> :D
[10:10] <badreligion> yeah, that's really specific
[10:11] <badreligion> apparently ubuntu noobs aren't very welcomed here
[10:12] <dr_willis> i just search for 'themes'
[10:12] <lhavelund> badreligion: Anyone is very welcome to ask about Ubuntu, at any level of knowledge.
[10:12] <dr_willis> most of the artucals give the commands yto use
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  it's n00b, but don't use that please, better say 'beginner'
[10:12] <badreligion> "enable their ppa. install stuff. change theme with tools"
[10:12] <bobweaver> badreligion,  that is not true anyone is welcome here unless they act up. and btw we are all n00bs at something
[10:13] <badreligion> sounds like the response of someone who's tired of answering questions "enable their ppa. install stuff. change theme with tools"
[10:13] <Mogashi> Hello! I'm about to download Ubuntu. Why does it say recommended on the 32 bit version? Never used Linux before.
[10:13] <lhavelund> badreligion: Well, some people aren't necessarily fantastic at explaining the steps in-between. Others, however, are. There are no stupid questions, and you're always welcome to ask for clarification!
[10:13] <dr_willis> badreligion:  or on a cellphone
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  it's bacause ppa's are not supported here
[10:13] <Ben64> Mogashi:  not everyone has 64 bit
[10:13] <dr_willis> that too.
[10:14] <bobweaver> badreligion,  you still have not told us what it is that you want to change or maybe I missed that
[10:14] <badreligion> k i ran this in terminal http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/2-beautiful-dark-themes-for-gtk-36-or.html#uds-search-results
[10:14] <badreligion> and now i'm clueless as to how to apply the theme to ubuntu
[10:14] <Mogashi> Ben64: Ok :)
[10:14] <badreligion> evidently it downloaded and installed but it's not in themes in the appearance settings
[10:14] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  use 'advanced settings'
[10:14] <Mogashi> Can I put Ubuntu on an USB stick and have it portable?
[10:15] <lhavelund> !persistent | Mogashi
[10:15] <Mogashi> Thanks
[10:15] <badreligion> advanced settings where?
[10:15] <lhavelund> Welcome! :)
[10:15] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  find it in the software center
[10:15] <bobweaver> badreligion,  type "appearance"  in you dash then choose you theme after opening it up
[10:16] <badreligion> well i just said i can't find it in the appearance menu
[10:16] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  find it in the software center
[10:16] <badreligion> i'm looking, no luck
[10:16] <bobweaver> badreligion,  http://imagebin.org/242367
[10:17] <bobweaver> badreligion,  see where it says "themes "
[10:17] <badreligion> yes
[10:17] <bobweaver> Is it there ?
[10:17] <Mogashi> How's gaming and graphics drivers on Linux? A couple of years ago I heard of people having problems. (Will still have a copy of Windows installed for most gaming tho.)
[10:17] <badreligion> not to be rude but this is the third time I've said no
[10:18] <dr_willis> Mogashi: depwnds on the game and hardware
[10:18] <badreligion> and it's not in software center
[10:18] <bobweaver> it is ok badreligion  sometimes if talkig to people it is best to use there names , try login in and out so dbus sees everything
[10:18] <badreligion> it just installed and disappeared
[10:18] <bobweaver> badreligion,  what is version of Ubuntu ?
[10:18] <Mogashi> dr_willis: Ok, I have a Geforce 670, do you know if there is good driver support for that one?
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  also for the third time: install advanced settings and change the theme there
[10:19] <unreal__> I have the Geforce 620, I'm using the legacy drivers
[10:19] <badreligion> actually i was trying to figure out what the "advanced setting" thing was
[10:19] <dr_willis> mgolisch: try the nvidia drivers in the repos
[10:19] <badreligion> so technically it's not a third time, i'm still on that
[10:19] <badreligion> if i knew what you meant by install advanced settings I'd gladly do it
[10:20] <bobweaver> nvidia just released new "linux "driver  cool stuff doubles preformance (glad linus said eff you yo nvidia got them on the ball )
[10:20] <cache_za> doubles performance?
[10:20] <bobweaver> that is what nvidia says
[10:20] <badreligion> so my only solution thus far is that i installed it and it vanished
[10:21] <MonkWitDaFunk> does the same hardware utilize diffrent drivers depending on OS being booted?
[10:21] <bobweaver> badreligion,  again what is your version of Ubuntu ?  12.04 12.10 ?
[10:21] <badreligion> 12.10
[10:21] <bobweaver> badreligion,  are you sure that it is installed ?
[10:21] <badreligion> i wish he'd explain this install advanced setting thing though
[10:21] <badreligion> yes, i watched iit in terminal
[10:21] <badreligion> but he left me hanging, so
[10:22] <dr_willis> theres several tweak tools that let you change themes also
[10:23] <goto10> Hello Everybody! I wonder if under Gnome, is it possible to have a link to a folder on the desktop? So that when I click on it, I end up in that folder? For example I would like to have a link to /my/music/ on the desktop. So when I click on it, I have nautilus open in /my/music/. I dont want a symlink, because that would send nautilus to /home/user/desktop/mysymlink/
[10:23] <badreligion> look i just want to figure this out, can someone pickup from where monkey left me hanging please?
[10:23] <bobweaver> badreligion,  open terminal and type in            apt-cache  poilcy  delorean-dark-theme-3.6      then use paste in to paste that to use or tell us if it says that it is installed ?
[10:23] <cousteau> After spending a while messing with drivers, now I can't log in.  However I can log in as guest session.  Any help?
[10:23] <Ben64> badreligion: dude. you open software center, search for "advanced settings" and install it
[10:23] <dr_willis> goto10: you can link form folders yes.
[10:23] <bobweaver> cousteau,  what mods/drivers
[10:23] <cousteau> dmesg doesn't work
[10:23] <cousteau> bobweaver: NVidia, installed from their page
[10:23] <goto10> dr_willis: how?
[10:24] <dr_willis> goto10:  ln -s  source destinatiin
[10:24] <badreligion> dude. i just searched it and there's no "advanced settings"
[10:24] <cousteau> "dmesg doesn't work" == "dmesg doesn't show any useful info"
[10:24] <bobweaver> cousteau,  when you get to login screen press alt+ctrl+f1  can you log into tty ?
[10:24] <goto10> dr_willis: that creates a symlink which sends nautilus to /home/user/desktop/name_of_the_symlink/
[10:24] <goto10> dr_willis: i want nautilus to end up at /my/music/
[10:24] <cousteau> bobweaver: yes, I'm on irssi on a TTY right now
[10:24] <Ben64> badreligion: there is
[10:24] <bobweaver> cousteau,  is nouvea loaded ?  lsmod | less
[10:25] <badreligion> is it called "advanced settings"?
[10:25] <Ben64> yep
[10:25] <bobweaver> q to quit that cousteau
[10:25] <badreligion> tweak tool?
[10:25] <cousteau> it's just that when I log in my screen goes black and goes back to the login screen
[10:25] <bobweaver> cousteau,  sounds like 2 drivers are loaded
[10:25] <bobweaver> cousteau,  lsmod | grep nvidia       << anything come back ?
[10:26] <cousteau> bobweaver: only nvidia
[10:26] <badreligion> again, there's no such program that I can see
[10:26] <dr_willis> goto10:  if they go to the same data it shouldent matter
[10:26] <bobweaver> cousteau,  lsmod | grep nouvea        << anything come back ?
[10:26] <bobweaver> er spelling
[10:26] <cousteau> no nouveau driver loaded
[10:26] <cousteau> anyway, as I said, guest session does work
[10:26] <dr_willis> goto10:  you could try a hard lnk also.. with no -s
[10:26] <bobweaver> cousteau,  what version of nvidia-current is installed ?
[10:27] <cousteau> but I can't log in to either XFCE nor LXDE
[10:27] <badreligion> alright, let me retrace my steps here
[10:27] <goto10> dr_willis: it matters because for example i cannot move up from that folder. i would not end up in /my/ but in /home/user/desktop. no, a hardlink would not solve that.
[10:27] <bobweaver> apt-cache poilcy nvidia-current|pastebinit
[10:27] <bobweaver> cousteau, ^^
[10:27] <badreligion> I installed the dark theme from this site via terminal: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/2-beautiful-dark-themes-for-gtk-36-or.html#uds-search-results
[10:27] <cousteau> 295.something
[10:27] <badreligion> and now, ALL I want to do is find a way to apply the theme I just installed to my ubuntu
[10:27] <bobweaver> cousteau,  you can use psatebinit ?
[10:28] <bobweaver> apt-cache poilcy nvidia-current|pastebinit
[10:28] <bobweaver> give us link cousteau
[10:28] <cousteau> 295.40-0ubuntu1.1
[10:28] <badreligion> monkey started explaining it, then he just disappeared but he said something about "advanced settings" in the sftware center
[10:28] <Ben64> badreligion: http://2.ben64.com/advanced_settings.png
[10:28] <Ben64> its not rocket surgery
[10:28] <cousteau> bobweaver: however I installed the drivers from an nvidia link
[10:28] <badreligion> nah, i thought it was
[10:28] <bobweaver> cousteau,  also is nouvea installed ?
[10:29] <badreligion> totally. because at this point I thought I was the only one who thought that
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> badreligion  it's cosmetics, skip it and get used to the actual system, first
[10:29] <cousteau> nouveau-firmware: not installed
[10:29] <badreligion> i'd rather just finish what I set out to do
[10:29] <cousteau> bobweaver: NB: I installed the drivers from the NVidia .run binary
[10:29] <Ben64> badreligion: did you look at the link i sent
[10:30] <bobweaver> cousteau,  remove the driver ./nvidia.script.run --uninstall   or something like that and then install the x-orgers ppa
[10:30] <cousteau> maybe I should just uninstall everything nvidia-* from apt-get
[10:30] <badreligion> yes, and I guess our advanced settings are named differently, mine is called tweak tool
[10:30] <bobweaver> cousteau,  you could also try that
[10:30] <badreligion> same subtitle, different tite
[10:30] <bobweaver> cousteau,  that is why I asked you to pastebin so I could see other things that might be installed
[10:30] <Ben64> badreligion: well did you try that one
[10:30] <badreligion> Tweak advanced GNOME 3 settings
[10:31] <bobweaver> badreligion,  http://imagebin.org/242366
[10:31] <bobweaver> :)
[10:31] <dr_willis> binaries often hhave a different named menu item  than the actual binary name. it can cause confusiin
[10:31] <badreligion> it'sinstalling extremely slowly
[10:32] <badreligion> in fact abnormally slowly
[10:32] <badreligion> ugh
[10:32] <bobweaver> badreligion,  might be where it is comming from is far away or server that it is getting it from is slow
[10:33] <badreligion> in the software center?
[10:33] <bobweaver> badreligion,  when adding a ppa you are adding a NEW SOURCE meaning not from UBUNTU
[10:34] <bobweaver> badreligion,  ppa's are from different places I have two local ones at my home. but if WHERE YYOU ARE GETTING PACKAGE is far away then it will take longer
[10:34] <badreligion> it's done
[10:35] <badreligion> why can't i change the shell theme?
[10:36] <bobweaver> badreligion,  think of it like a website , if they have a crapy server and bad isp then it is going to take forever to load there pages of there site. But if there fast and good isp then it will load fast
[10:36] <badreligion> i have this black window theme and this purple sticking out like a sore thumb with all my icons on the left
[10:36] <bobweaver> !screenshot
[10:38] <badreligion> well here's what's happening http://imagebin.org/242370
[10:39] <badreligion> i'm guessing there's no way to change the color of that bar at the left?
[10:39] <dr_willis> it auto changes based on wallpaper i thought
[10:40] <dr_willis> or it can at least
[10:41] <bobweaver> I do not think that Unity 3d works that way there is not any com.canonical.dash.averageBgVolor
[10:41] <bobweaver> Color
[10:41] <hexstatik> how can i create a boot image from current ubuntu install? or would there be a better way to reinstall to SSD(without setting everything up all over again)?
[10:41] <badreligion> damn
[10:41] <pgp> Hi, i got problem with my ubuntu server, eth0 isnt coming on after a scheduled reboot :(
[10:41] <pgp> i can see the network controller in lspci
[10:42] <pgp> but every attempt of network restart fails
[10:42] <pgp> been trying to fix it for past 2 hours id be really helpful if someone could assist me :(
[10:43] <agsel> I have ubuntu 12.04 with unity. used compiz config settings manager to change my application switcher. but after some crash, it has the minimal switcher. whatever I do in config manager, it still remains the same. should I somehow apply the changes?
[10:43] <bobweaver> sorry I meant com.canonical.Unity.Dash.AverageBgColor , like there what in 2d
[10:43] <pgp> i keep getting msg No DHCPOFFERS received.
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> pgp  #ubuntu-server
[10:44] <pgp> returns nothing MonkeyDust
[10:44] <agsel> :)
[10:44] <pgp> oh
[10:44] <agsel> yes
[10:44] <dr_willis> its a channel.. not a command
[10:44] <pgp> got u lol
[10:45] <pgp> yah i figured.
[10:45] <pgp> ..
[10:45] <pgp> my brain is fried :(
[10:47] <agsel> can I somehow reset all the configuration in compiz config manager?
[10:49] <dr_willis> agsel: delete the files in.      .config  for compiz settings might do it
[10:49] <dr_willis> there should be a command yto do it also
[10:49] <dr_willis> but it depends on the release of ubuntu
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> agsel  try compiz --reset
[10:50] <agsel> compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager;
[10:50] <dr_willis> reset was for nunity
[10:50] <dr_willis> unty
[10:53] <agsel> I tried unity --reset
[10:53] <agsel> but it crashes
[10:55] <agsel> and after that I don't have any app switcher
[10:55] <agsel> trying to restart
[10:56] <agsel> after restart, I have the basic app switcher back (not the unity one)
[10:58] <cousteau> So...  there was a ~/.Xauthority file owned by root
[10:59] <cousteau> What sudo command might have created this ~/.Xauthority?  maybe `sudo startx`?
[10:59] <dr_willis> cousteau: it seems to happwn a lot
[10:59] <cousteau> As a side note, I'm totally going to alias sudo='sudo -H'
[11:00] <dr_willis> sudo withanxapp  can cause issues also
[11:00] <cousteau> oh, by the way, now I completely messed up something and my computer won't boot unless I start in recovery mode and then select continue
[11:00] <cousteau> dr_willis, do you think sudo -H is better?
[11:00] <dr_willis> heh. you are good at breaking things.
[11:00] <cousteau> (this was on TTY, so there was no gksudo)
[11:00] <dr_willis> never used sudo -H
[11:01] <cousteau> why not?
[11:01] <dr_willis> why should i?
[11:01] <cousteau> oh
[11:01] <dr_willis> ive never used it... ;)
[11:01] <cousteau> never useD, not "never use"
[11:01] <MonkeyDust> cousteau  have you been experimenting with root and sudo options? that's the best way to ruin your system
[11:01] <cousteau> MonkeyDust, nope, just trying to remove the nvidia driver and install it from repos
[11:02] <dr_willis> bbl
[11:02] <cousteau> oh, now I have both nvidia and nouveau drivers loaded, wtf
[11:06] <cousteau> sudo -H makes $HOME to be /root instead of /home/me, which I think it's safer and would avoid stuff like the stupid ~/.Xauthority one
[11:07] <cousteau> brb, trying the last thing
[11:12] <solancer> can someone point me to the IRC channel of unity developers team ?
[11:13] <solancer> can someone point me to the IRC channel of unity developers team ?
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> solancer  #ubuntu-unity
[11:13] <solancer> MonkeyDust, Thanks!
[11:15] <cousteau> ok, I completely messed up something
[11:15] <affe_> hello everyone, I can't remove the ecryptfs-utils libecryptfs0 package, I get error code (1), what is this supposed to mean?
[11:16] <cousteau> now my computer doesn't boot unless I boot failsafe mode and then select "resume normal boot"
[11:18] <cousteau> when the computer is booting it ends up freezing:  the screen doesn't display anything (or some text), NumLock doesn't blink when I hit the key, and not even REISUB works
[11:19] <cfhowlett> cousteau: reinstall
[11:19] <cousteau> reinstall is not an option
[11:19] <Ben64> cousteau: its a bit late, but how come you didn't just install nvidia from apt-get/synaptic/software center
[11:19] <cousteau> Ben64, needed CUDA
[11:20] <Ben64> pretty sure cuda works with that
[11:20] <cousteau> well, maybe with the experimental version
[11:20] <Ben64> all versions
[11:20] <cousteau> no
[11:20] <Ben64> yeah.. it did a couple years ago, i'm sure it still does
[11:21] <cousteau> CUDA requires a driver version higher than the one of nvidia-current, at least on my graphics card
[11:21] <cousteau> otherwise the compiled program doesn't work
[11:22] <cousteau> it returns an error code that means that CUDA is not supported
[11:22] <cousteau> error number 35:  "CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version."
[11:22] <Ben64> well you could have used the experimental then
[11:22] <cousteau> yeah, but I didn't know it was there
[11:22] <Crazy_Bird> hello guys, i have a big problem. I'm not an expert on Ubuntu or Linux, but I've setup two identical Ubuntu servers. Both used to have access to the network, but one of them now not. I've checked all the phisical network components (cables, routers, switches), I've checked IP availability, I've checked network interfaces are OK (command "lshw -class network") and I've checked /etc/network/interfaces file is OK. What can I do? I sti
[11:23] <Ben64> cousteau: installing nvidia from the website is almost always a bad idea
[11:23] <cousteau> Ben64, I know that
[11:23] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: swap network cables, maybe one is broken
[11:23] <cousteau> now
[11:23] <Ben64> cousteau: :(
[11:23] <RJ3000> and/or switch ports
[11:24] <Crazy_Bird> IRJ3000: I've checked cables, they are OK
[11:24] <RJ3000> how are you assigning them IPs?
[11:24] <Crazy_Bird> Both are fixed IPs
[11:24] <RJ3000> now the same fixed IP hopefully? :)
[11:24] <RJ3000> not*
[11:25] <Crazy_Bird> Oh, no. One is <IP_ADDRESS> and the other <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:25] <cousteau> ok, now what might be happening?  the only symptom I can check is:  computer freezes when booting, but works when booting in recovery mode and then selecting "continue with normal boot"
[11:25] <cousteau> this is a total freeze that doesn't even let me REISUB
[11:26] <cousteau> hm, if the USB drivers died, it's possible that my USB keyboard isn't able to send a REISUB, right?
[11:26] <Ben64> possible
[11:26] <cfhowlett> cousteau: entirely possible
[11:26] <cousteau> and also that the light doesn't blink when I hit NumLock
[11:26] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: Is there a way to check if all required services in Ubuntu server for networking are ok?
[11:26] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: can you ping your own 172.. ip from the machine that isn't working?
[11:27] <cousteau> damn it, why don't computers have PS/2 connectors anymore?
[11:27] <RJ3000> if ifconfig shows, eg eth0 with your IP and mask set correctly, it's probably ok
[11:27] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: No, I cann't
[11:27] <RJ3000> pastebin your network/interfaces files maybe, in case you missed something?
[11:27] <RJ3000> ah, well that's the first thing then
[11:28] <RJ3000> yeah pastebin both interfaces files
[11:28] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: I'm sorry
[11:28] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: ping to self machine works and ifconfig is OK
[11:29] <cousteau> I uninstalled some nvidia-* packages, might this be causing the kernel to freeze?
[11:29] <Ben64> !text | cousteau: try this
[11:30] <cousteau> ok, add "text"
[11:30] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: paste bin output of ifconfig, interfaces, route  commands for both boxes. hard to know where to start
[11:30] <cousteau> trying that
[11:30] <RJ3000> there's a paste url in the topic
[11:31] <bugtraq> 我草
[11:31] <bugtraq> 这就是传说中的irc？
[11:31] <bugtraq> 噢 shi尼吗t
[11:31] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: also, dmesg | grep eth0
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> !cn
[11:31] <RJ3000> "link becomes ready" should be near the bottom
[11:32] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: I'm not typing in the server, but please be patiente and I'll type it
[11:32] <RJ3000> oh wait, nm dont try and type it in if you're not online from it
[11:32] <RJ3000> check dmesg first
[11:32] <RJ3000> dmesg | grep eth0
[11:32] <Baby_me> yeehaw
[11:32] <RJ3000> compare on both machines - what's the difference? <-- Crazy_Bird
[11:36] <intxk> fgh
[11:36] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: no difference between dmesg | grep eth0 on both servers
[11:36] <cousteau> adding text didn't do anything
[11:37] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: hm, so both are reporting the link is ready
[11:37] <RJ3000> both machines are plugged into the same switch?
[11:37] <cousteau> maybe something related to ACPI?  I remember having this problem on the LiveCD
[11:37] <intxk> irc.secfo.org
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> cousteau  still struggling with nvidia?
[11:37] <cousteau> MonkeyDust, nope
[11:37] <cousteau> only with the whole damn kernel now
[11:37] <Kartagis> in cairo-dock, I've accidentally moved pidgin into firefox dock. how can I undo that?
[11:37] <Ben64> cousteau: reinstall : /
[11:38] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: No, not really. Both says IPV6 link is not ready. Anyway, I'm using IPV4, not sure if the answer is ok
[11:38] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: are these new installs of ubuntu? any chance there is a firewall running? sudo iptables -L  should match on both machines
[11:38] <cousteau> MonkeyDust, now the situation is: computer only boots from recovery mode
[11:38] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: yeah ignore ipv6, that sounds ok
[11:38] <cousteau> Ben64, can't; I have some programs installed which would be horrible to reinstall
[11:38] <cousteau> (programs not in repositories)
[11:38] <Ben64> cousteau: like what
[11:38] <cousteau> Xilinx
[11:39] <cousteau> now that I think of it, Xilinx is mostly in /opt, which iirc is on a separate partition
[11:39] <Ben64> never heard of it
[11:39] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: i see this in my dmesg:  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[11:39] <aguitel> i installed minimal xfce ,how launch jockey-gtk ?
[11:40] <Ben64> cousteau: without knowing exactly what got you into this mess, i wouldn't know how to undo it
[11:40] <cousteau> Ben64, yeah, that's my problem too
[11:40] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: Yes, both fresh installs of Ubuntu servers. They were installed at the same time because they are going to be used as high availability servers for a private webapplication.
[11:40] <Ben64> cousteau: you could try pastebinning ~/.bash_history, but it might not contain everything
[11:41] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: Can't see the same text on my dmesg
[11:41] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: are thy plugged into a complex switch/router that was preconfigured, maybe vlan or certain ports are used for something else
[11:41] <RJ3000> try swapping switchports perhaps
[11:41] <RJ3000> assuming you already know cables are fine
[11:42] <RJ3000> maybe try plugging the dodgy server into a laptop or some other network, see if that can be made to work at all
[11:42] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: No, no... they are connected to a simple swith, what is connected to a simple router for access to Internet
[11:42] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: ports are not used for anything else
[11:43] <RJ3000> i would still swap ports just in case, sometimes one port on a switch can go bad
[11:43] <cousteau> Ben64, ok...  I had the Nvidia drivers installed from the CUDA installer, then I installed the driver nvidia-experimental-310 from Additional controllers (without uninstalling Nvidia) and it didn't work, so I manually reinstalled the Nvidia driver.  Same for the nvidia-experimental-304 so I reinstalled Nvidia manually again. (...)
[11:44] <RJ3000> and double check your gateway/netmask are correct in your network/interfaces files
[11:44] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: might be worth booting off a live cd (ubuntu edsktop installer or something) and seeing if you can get the server online that way, to rule out hardware
[11:44] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: I've checked taking out the UTP cable from the server, pluggin it to a laptop with the same network configuration under windows and the laptop works flawlessly
[11:45] <RJ3000> ok
[11:45] <sara_ubuntu_girl> can some1 guide me how to manually/automatically add one installation on disk /dev/sda2 to Grub?
[11:45] <RJ3000> does eth0 appear in ifconfig output?
[11:45] <cousteau> Then x wouldn't start, so I decided to uninstall nvidia-experimental-* and nvidia-settings-experimental-*
[11:46] <sara_ubuntu_girl> Crazy_Bird what seems to be the problem?
[11:46] <RJ3000> ie, does ifconfig eth0  show the addr, and mask you set in the interfaces file
[11:46] <Crazy_Bird> OK. I'm sorry, I've made a mistake
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> sara_ubuntu_girl  you add OS'es to grub, not installations
[11:46] <Crazy_Bird> network card name is not eth0, but p4p1
[11:46] <cousteau> Then X started fine but I couldn't log in due to the damn ~/.Xauthority owned by root.  I thought it was still a conflict so I uninstalled nvidia-current (but not nvidia-common).  Everything I uninstalled was with sudo apt-get purge --purge
[11:47] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust yes i want to add ubuntu 10.04 OS to grub
[11:47] <Burnt_Reynolds> can anyone help me out with an ubuntu 10.04.3 install?
[11:47] <Crazy_Bird> let me see dmesg command in both servers
[11:47] <bekks> Burnt_Reynolds: Just ask.
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> sara_ubuntu_girl  10.04 will soon be !eol, better not struggle with it
[11:48] <Burnt_Reynolds> getting errors in the following log: http://pastebin.com/eSDiV0fR
[11:48] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust my company requires me to use 10.04 only
[11:48] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust how can i force update-grub to check /dev/sda2?
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> sara_ubuntu_girl  in that case: it will be added to grub when you install it
[11:49] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust its already installed , somehow it got removed from grub.cfg
[11:49] <cousteau> Then the system didn't boot, so I booted in recovery mode and selected the "dpkg" option.  Then I found out that recovery + option "continue with normal boot" is the only option that works now
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> sara_ubuntu_girl  ah, so it's a grub repair
[11:49] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust yeah but repair /add from disk /dev/sda2
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> !grub > sara_ubuntu_girl
[11:50] <cousteau> And that's it.  Everything works fine as long as I boot from recovery mode.
[11:50] <cousteau> Ben64, did you get that?
[11:51] <Ben64> cousteau: yeah, but still dunno whats causing the problem
[11:51] <Ben64> seems like missing file(s) or permission problem
[11:51] <cousteau> maybe I have to reinstall something related to the kernel
[11:51] <cousteau> Ben64, I don't think it's a permission problem since that wouldn't explain the computer freezing, would it?
[11:52] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust thanks ....but it says use update-grub which i already tried ... but any ways thanks for help . i have seen another url which might help
[11:52] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: OK. now dmesg command send correctly. same answer from both servers, but server 1 (the one that works OK) also put me a list of uncomplicated firewall block messages. Not showing on server 2, the one that is working wrong
[11:52] <sara_ubuntu_girl> MonkeyDust by the way how do u use this bot ubottu
[11:52] <Ben64> cousteau: what happens if you try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> sara_ubuntu_girl  /msg ubottu or !factoid
[11:52] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: until you have debugged, you can do  "sudo ufw disable"
[11:52] <RJ3000> to stop firewalls, probably makes sense
[11:52] <sara_ubuntu_girl>  /msg ubottu add os to grub
[11:52] <RJ3000> or service ufw stop, or whatever it is
[11:53] <sara_ubuntu_girl> !factoid
[11:53] <cousteau> Ben64, I'm on xubuntu, actually
[11:53] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: going to try that
[11:53] <Ben64> cousteau: then xubuntu-desktop :)
[11:53] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: and  sudo service networking restart  if you've editing the config files
[11:55] <cousteau> Ben64, it's already installed
[11:55] <cousteau> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1516624/
[11:55] <Ben64> cousteau: oh.. then all the packages that are supposed to be there are there
[11:56] <cousteau> maybe I shouldn't have removed nvidia-current
[11:56] <Burnt_Reynolds> getting these errors in my xorg log can anyone help?: http://pastebin.com/eSDiV0fR
[11:56] <Burnt_Reynolds> please
[11:57] <Ben64> cousteau: you should purge any nvidia packages left
[11:57] <RJ3000> Burnt_Reynolds: Xorg -config  or something (-help) will autogenerate a valid xorg.conf, maybe you need to do that. been a while since i messed with xorg tho
[11:57] <cousteau> Ben64, only nvidia-common remaining
[11:57] <Ben64> cousteau: afterwards i'd reinstall nvidia-current
[11:58] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: I works OK now. I'll check ufw configuration, because it is clear now that is the problem. Thank you very much!!!! If you come to Canary Islands one day, I'll invite you to a beer and a good food!!! :-)
[11:58] <cousteau> Ben64, anything else?
[11:58] <Burnt_Reynolds> RJ: pretty sure i tried that already
[11:58] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: ha, glad you got it sorted :)
[11:58] <{Elvano}> Is it possibleto have both desktop and server installation files on one bootable USK key?
[11:59] <Crazy_Bird> RJ3000: Again, thank you very much, really. Bye
[11:59] <RJ3000> Crazy_Bird: you're welcome, seeya
[11:59] <cousteau> {Elvano}, there was a way to have multiple ISOs in one device, don't remember how
[11:59] <Burnt_Reynolds> RJ3000: is there a irc chan specific to xorg?
[11:59] <cousteau> Burnt_Reynolds, I think there's #xorg
[12:00] <RJ3000> Burnt_Reynolds: probably, they have a website..
[12:00] <minixvm> !alis | Burnt_Reynolds
[12:00] <RJ3000> oh didnt know about alis, neat
[12:00] <nyuszika7h> hi, is there a way to open a terminal on a live media without ttys? not like I couldn't run `DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal' on tty1, just wondering if there is another way.
[12:01] <nyuszika7h> (I'm installing ubuntu so I only have the top panel.)
[12:01] <cousteau> nyuszika7h, maybe Ctrl-Alt-T ?
[12:01] <nyuszika7h> ah, nice, thanks
[12:02] <user92223> Problem with Bluetooth manager in Ubuntu LXDE desktop.  The bluetooth file browser uses "thunar" but I want to use "pcmanfm". How to do this?
[12:03] <user92223> Bluetooth Manager says says I should enter an alternative browser in "service settings"  but i can't find it.
[12:03] <{Elvano}> I guess I'mm be overwritting my key for the time being, cousteau. Thank you for the response
[12:04] <cousteau> yw  :)  sorry if it wasn't helpful
[12:04] <cousteau> ok, rebooting
[12:07] <Kartagis> in cairo-dock, I've accidentally moved pidgin into firefox dock. how can I undo that?
[12:09] <cousteau> Ben64, whatever has happened...  everything works now
[12:10] <Ben64> cool
[12:10] <cousteau> Also, I have a hypothesis:  it did work before, but since the damn Nvidia drivers crash the splash screen and I only get a black screen (this is normal), I didn't know what was happening
[12:11] <cousteau> so I panicked, and started tapping NumLock, then tried to REISUB, then gave up and button-reboot
[12:11] <Ben64> thats what a ssh server is for
[12:11] <cousteau> but maybe I just had to wait  :(
[12:13] <cousteau> Ben64, that would involve (1) having openssh-server installed and configured (which I do have), (2a) having my Linux netbook here (which I don't) or (2b) access to any other Linux machine or one with PuTTY (which I neither do), (3) having thought of that (which I didn't)
[12:16] <lexy> hi
[12:16] <Ben64> cousteau: i use my phone as an ssh client :)
[12:17] <cousteau> Ben64, wow!  is there a Java app that allows me to do that via GPRS?
[12:17] <cousteau> I'm the Richard Stallman of smartphones  :|
[12:17] <bekks> cousteau: The used media is irrelevant for the ssh protocol :) Just get an ssh app for your phone.
[12:18] <cousteau> well, there's an IRC thing for old Java dumbphones, so I guess there's also ssh
[12:18] <lexy> hi
[12:19] <Ben64> java? get a smartphone already

[12:20] <lololanylol> Hello, I am trying to reinstall grub, and it says when i run sudo grub-install /dev/sda  Path /boot/grub is not readable by GRUB on boot.  Installation impossible  Aborting,  how do I fix this?
[12:21] <zoie> hello, i'm getting this warning: "WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/user/.cache/keyring-cORz3c/pkcs11: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" everytime i "svn" something; is there a way to solve this problem?
[12:22] <cache_za> android/blackberry = java?

[12:25] <FlowRiser> zoie, do you have the os in french ?
[12:25] <zoie> FlowRiser: yes
[12:26] <FlowRiser> zoie, have you tried going manually into that folder and looking for 'svn' ?
[12:26] <dr_willis> lololanylol:   where is your /boot/ partion or directory at?
[12:27] <lololanylol> dev/sda1
[12:27] <lololanylol> wait
[12:27] <lololanylol> i believe its
[12:27] <lololanylol> just   /mnt/boot
[12:28] <dr_willis> lololanylol:  well i imagien it needs to be mounted to /boot/ for reinstalling grub.. or are you on a live cd right now? or what exactly?
[12:28] <lololanylol> its the webserver-root is the problem and its an LVM2 ext4 file system
[12:28] <lololanylol> yeah I'm on a live CD with Ubuntu secured remix 12.10
[12:28] <dr_willis> I dont  use lvm. so really cant help much more.
[12:29] <lololanylol> i dont use it often either, any other suggestions and how do I mount the boot to boot?
[12:29] <lololanylol> also, have you used boot-repair-disk utility?
[12:30] <dr_willis> I normally use/reccomend that boot-repair tool.
[12:31] <lololanylol> if I select the option  "Repair File System"  will it wipe the data usually?
[12:31] <bekks> lololanylol: "Repair" vs. "Delete".
[12:32] <bekks> lololanylol: Nonetheless, you should have a backup handy.
[12:32] <dr_willis> that wouldebne be much of a reair  - I would guess its doing a fsck
[12:32] <lololanylol> under Advanced Options - select Repair File Systems
[12:32] <dr_willis> If a file system is badly damaged and needs fsck'd there can be data loss.. it could allready have been lost.
[12:33] <lololanylol> yeah I just got done spending 6 hours cloning it to an external
[12:33] <lololanylol> not sure if it worked though
[12:33] <lololanylol> because now I can't see the external as of right now
[12:35] <lololanylol> so basically, when I boot Dr. Willis, it says no OS detected or Installed basically, but i am still able to see everything when i start pulling it up in the LIVE CD
[12:36] <lololanylol> so it makes me think maybe its a grub path issue or something along those lines, but am unsure how to address it
[12:36] <lololanylol> also if this helps, that boot-repair tool, the Grub Tabs are greyed out....
[12:37] <MTsol> Just installed ubuntu and when I go to boot into it I hear the sound of it loading but I never get a picture
[12:37] <minixvm> !nomodeset | MTsol
[12:38] <MTsol> thanks
[12:38] <lololanylol> minixvm, have any suggestions for my issue?
[12:38] <dr_willis> If you are using a lvm. ive no idea what problems that may cause. if you had a spare usb flash you could put /boot/ on that and install grub to the mbr of the flash and se eif that works.. but thats about all i can suggest. others may know more about grub and lvms
[12:38] <Doumie> Jee5us_w
[12:38] <Doumie> mis teed

[12:41] <lexy> can i help here to install Android Apps on UBUNTU 12.40
[12:41] <lololanylol> also, under the MBR options in boot-repair tool   it only gives me SDA (generic MBR) and only able to boot sda5  and not SDA1, but no drop down
[12:41] <minixvm> lexy: android apps are for arm
[12:42] <MTsol> Okay I'm not really understanding the tutorial.
[12:42] <adam_8606> hi, I compiled a simple C file in geany and built it. Then an "application/x-executable" file showed up. How do I run it???
[12:42] <lexy> ok tnx
[12:42] <fego> adam_8606: ./file.out
[12:42] <lololanylol> and how do I unlock the root volume, it says it I dont have the permissions needed to view
[12:43] <MTsol> Where do I type in those commands to fix the black screen?
[12:43] <fego> adam_8606: the compilation might have produced a exexutable file, if you have not specified the output file with -o, the default is "a.out"
[12:44] <adam_8606> fego: the file has just showed up on the desktop as "filename"
[12:45] <adam_8606> fego: when I type "filename" into terminal it says command not fond
[12:45] <MTsol> ...
[12:45] <TakeItEZ> adam_8606: "~/Desktop/filename"
[12:45] <fego> adam_8606: cd ~/Desktop, then run
[12:46] <adam_8606> fego: i already cd'd onto the desktop
[12:46] <fego> then ./filename adam_8606
[12:46] <nydel> having serious trouble trying to do system update / upgrade
[12:46] <dr_willis> You are using Proper Case in the filenames?
[12:46] <fego> make sure the exexutable bits are on adam_8606
[12:47] <lololanylol> bkup
[12:48] <adam_8606> fego: Thanks
[12:48] <aFeijo> hi folks, after a simple reboot, my ubuntu 12.10 x64 wont finish booting. It freeze at the black screen where it say [ OK ] to many things, the last one is: *Checking battery state ... [ OK ] (I'm on a desktop, no battery)
[12:48] <Pinchiukas> What do I do if I forget the root password? Recovery console asks for the password.
[12:48] <fego> adam_8606: no worries, :)
[12:48] <minixvm> nydel: where are you stuck?
[12:48] <nydel> aFeijo: did you try ctrl-alt-backspace? to restart x?
[12:48] <aFeijo> nydel, I rebooted again, no luck
[12:49] <aFeijo> nydel, in ctrl+alt+F5 I can access my shell, what should I look for?
[12:49] <minixvm> !root | Pinchiukas
[12:49] <aFeijo> nydel, ctrl+alt+backspace just add [^H to the black screen
[12:49] <nydel> minixvm: well, updates haven't been working. then i tried "dpkg --configure -a" & that gets stuck
[12:50] <minixvm> nydel: have you added any ppas?
[12:50] <mar77i> hmm. can anyone give me a hint on how I could stop ubuntu "blink" on one screen? they are out of sync by having 60.0 and 59.9 set... I tried changing the setting with the dual setup I'm calling xrandr for "xrandr --output DVI-0 --rate 60 --right-of VGA-0 --rate 60" to no effect
[12:50] <nydel> minixvm: probably but nothing too weird.. just firefox nightly, clementine.. i should comment them out of sources & try apt-get?
[12:51] <minixvm> nydel: yes
[12:51] <nydel> where is sources?
[12:52] <minixvm> nydel: /etc/apt
[12:52] <avickery> I have a n00b DNS question, anybody up for it?
[12:52] <s3p> ask
[12:52] <dr_willis> just ask the question. dont ask to ask
[12:53] <aFeijo> what could cause the graphical interface to load up?
[12:53] <nydel> minixvm is the only file in question sources.list?
[12:53] <aFeijo> what could cause the graphical interface to NOT load up?
[12:53] <minixvm> nydel: you might want to check the directory too sources.list.d
[12:54] <nydel> minixvm: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:54] <picaso> maybe your graphics are not compatible
[12:55] <picaso> or your motherborf aFeijo
[12:55] <minixvm> nydel: what is the output when you run that?
[12:55] <aFeijo> lol, I executed startx and it powered up
[12:55] <aFeijo> wth?
[12:55] <avickery> I installed Ubuntu desktop a while back and then installed each lamp component manually. Worked great. I could access the server from any device in the house by browsing to http://xx.local. I wanted learn more about the command line so I installed ubuntu server and  did the same manual install of LAMP. I can access it by IP address but not by name, what gives?
[12:56] <nydel> minixvm: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1516713/
[12:57] <aFeijo> ok I have the graphical interface, but no sidebar !! :(
[12:57] <Pinchiukas> minixvm: I don't remember if I added a user and if I did. I need root access period.
[12:57] <minixvm> nydel: why are you using root?
[12:57] <picaso> afeijo did you checked your instalation cd it could corupted
[12:58] <nydel> minixvm: sudo -i
[12:58] <aFeijo> picaso, I have this installed for long time, no cd involved
[12:58] <minixvm> nydel: why, not how
[12:58] <picaso> ah ok then maybe is time for a fresh install
[12:59] <nydel> minixvm: oh
[12:59] <Pinchiukas> I forgot the login and password, I have console access. How do I find out the username and password? Or reset the password.
[12:59] <minixvm> Pinchiukas: adding a user is part of the install process, its a mandatory step
[12:59] <dr_willis> look in  /home/ for the users names
[12:59] <nydel> minixvm: dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[13:00] <minixvm> nydel: then run it using your normal user wit sudo
[13:00] <nydel> minixvm: i think that's why, unless you meant something else?
[13:00] <minixvm> nydel: anywho, thats not the issue here
[13:00] <dr_willis> !resetpassword
[13:00] <nydel> minixvm: sure, you mean don't use sudo -i
[13:00] <nydel> minixvm: good advice, my bad
[13:00] <Pinchiukas> minixvm: I don't remember the freaking username!
[13:00] <Pinchiukas> The directory /home is empty.
[13:00] <nydel> minixvm: any idea what's going on with my upgrade?
[13:01] <minixvm> nydel: try sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again
[13:01] <Pinchiukas> I've managed to get a shell by doing an initrd=/bin/bash
[13:02] <dagerik> i am no longer able to select text from terminal, and scrollclick to paste it in terminal prompt. can can have caused this?
[13:02] <minixvm> Pinchiukas: if your /home directory is empty then you likely have a big problem
[13:02] <TakeItEZ> Pinchiukas: "cat /etc/issue" says what?
[13:03] <dr_willis> or your home is on a seperate partition
[13:03] <dr_willis> check you /etc/fstab to see if theres a home mount point
[13:05] <avickery>  I installed Ubuntu desktop a while back and then installed each lamp component manually. Worked great. I could access the server from any device in the house by browsing to http://xx.local. I wanted learn more about the command line so I installed ubuntu server and  did the same manual install of LAMP. I can access it by IP address but not by name, what gives?
[13:06] <nydel> minixvm: i'm logged in using cinnamon window manager.. do you think this could have anything to do with the problem?
[13:06] <dr_willis> nydel:  you installed cinnamon on ubuntu? using some ppas?
[13:06] <minixvm> nydel: cinnamon is a desktop environment and isn't supported on ubuntu
[13:07] <nydel> that's why i mentioned it.. do you think ubuntu would intentionally break down like that to force me to log in using unity?
[13:07] <dr_willis> nydel: more likely cinimon broke somthing
[13:08] <minixvm> nydel: intentionally break down? you do realise what not supported means?
[13:08] <dr_willis> having lots of ppa's enabled can goof up upgradeng also.
[13:08] <nydel> i meant to write "think CINNAMON would intentionally break down..."
[13:08] <nydel> apologies.
[13:09] <dr_willis> you could always use the ppa-purge stuff and remove cinnamon. but in a system with a confused package state.. that may not work
[13:09] <minixvm> nydel: i always avoid ppas, they are nothing but hassle
[13:10] <dr_willis> you scared him! ;)
[13:10] <minixvm> nydel: i'd guess that 99% of all dependency problems come from using software outside the official repos
[13:11] <dr_willis> well night all.. bbl
[13:11] <avickery> Am I talking to myself?
[13:11] <minixvm> avickery: there is a #ubuntu-server channel too
[13:12] <avickery> Is there a difference in the way Ubuntu desktop and server implements DNS?
[13:12] <bekks> avickery: No.
[13:13] <lololanylol> hello, would anybody know the default location for an SQL database in Ubuntu 10.0.4
[13:13] <lololanylol> like, where it usually sits?
[13:13] <TakeItEZ> lololanylol: /var/lib/mysql
[13:14] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:15] <adamk> First, there's no Ubuntu 10.0.4 :-)  Second, there are lots of different SQL databases, so to get an accurate answer, you should give us more details.
[13:15] <lololanylol> ty take it EZ
[13:15] <lololanylol> do you also happen to know anything about LVM stuff?
[13:16] <{Elvano}> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server from a USB key, but after I selected my keyboard it attempts to load data from CD, which I don't have. How can I solve this?
[13:20] <niclas> Hi
[13:20] <niclas> Showing of "Dash Home" seems to be connected to how long i press the Super key. If I press it quickly it'll show dash, but if I hold it for a little while, it won't.
[13:20] <isildur> !ita
[13:20] <isildur> !it
[13:21] <minixvm> niclas: thats a feature, holding the key shows you shortcuts
[13:21] <niclas> If I bind Super+E to open Home Folder the same thing goes. That means that if I press Super+E quickly it'll open Home Folder and then Dash Home. But if I do it slowly, it'll simply open Home Folder like I want. Can I disable the opening of Dash Home in this scenario?
[13:24] <niclas> minixvm: Yeah, I noticed, but it kind of messes with adding shortcuts such as Super+E, Super+R. I'm converting from Windows and want to have those shortcuts to keep it consistent with my computer at work (can't go linux there).
[13:25] <R3d> salaut.. tout le monde..
[13:25] <R3d> jviens d installer
[13:25] <minixvm> niclas: messing with compiz bindings can break unity
[13:26] <TakeItEZ> !fr | R3d
[13:26] <R3d> sorry :p
[13:26] <niclas> minixvm: I read some about that. Don't really want to break Unity on my first few days.
[13:28] <niclas> minixvm: How do you typically open a terminal or your file manager?
[13:28] <minixvm> niclas: terminal = ctrl+alt+t
[13:28] <niclas> minixvm: Don't you think that's kind of a hassle? To me it's not really a "natural" position for the hands. Maybe I'm just lazy?
[13:29] <minixvm> niclas: i didn't invent the shortcuts, sorry i got to go
[13:31] <_Ethan_> hi
[13:34] <_Ethan_> just to let you know to the channel. Yesterday I wanted to install ubuntu 12.10, having the problem that I had ubuntu 10.10, but i did not care to format again, nobody could answer it. The solution is simply to record the iso in a cd, then install it by choosing the option "erase ubuntu 10.10 and install", and no partition need to be made or modified.
[13:34] <_Ethan_> so it is not needed to make all the crap we chatted yesterday
[13:35] <Eagleman> I am getting an error in postfix (  Jan 10 14:33:46 homeserver postfix/trivial-rewrite[18688]: warning: do not list domain eagleman.net in BOTH mydestination and virtual_alias_domains  ) however i have mydestination no where defined, How can i resolve this?
[13:35] <Ben64> _Ethan_: sounds like you formatted and installed
[13:36] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: "grep mydestination /etc/postfix/main.cf"
[13:36] <Sling> Eagleman: try grepping recursively trough your config files for eagleman
[13:36] <Eagleman> #relay_domains = $mydestination
[13:36] <Eagleman> i already did that
[13:36] <Eagleman> grep mydestination /etc/postfix/*
[13:37] <Sling> no, grep -r
[13:37] <Eagleman> Sling: same results
[13:37] <Eagleman> post-install:    Warning: you still need to edit myorigin/mydestination/mynetworks
[13:38] <Sling> Eagleman: what are you doing exactly>
[13:38] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: add "mydestination=localhost, yourdomain.tld" (whatever you want to accept mails for to /etc/postfix/main.cf
[13:39] <isildur> hello everybody
[13:39] <isildur> how to add item on the right click when i use termina?
[13:39] <isildur> terminal*
[13:39] <Eagleman> Sling getting rid of the warning message in the logs
[13:40] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html  , #postfix on freenode
[13:40] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ, thats exactly what i dont want to do, becuase thats how i get the warning
[13:41] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: your domainname is eagleman.net and your postfix will accept mails for it if you don't use mydestination. so you cannot list eagleman.net as virtual too, its not virtual
[13:42] <lololanylol> question
[13:42] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: so either remove eagleman.net from virtual-domain-list or set "mydestination=localhost"
[13:43] <lololanylol> take it ez
[13:43] <lololanylol> or who ever
[13:44] <Monotoko> is there any way to fool netflix into thinking I have a computer that can stream their stuff?
[13:44] <Monotoko> it doesn't support Ubuntu :(
[13:44] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ, setting mydestination=localhost will result in all mail to fail to arrive
[13:44] <lololanylol> if i take a folder say "root" for instance, (with a website) in it do a fresh install, and then replace most of the files including the website folder in the new installation, will it most likely work with minimal to no reconfiguration, or if there is some reconfiguration, what might it consist of?
[13:44] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: then you haven't configured your virtual-domains correct
[13:45] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: and it's highly adviced to read postfix documentation if you want to setup a public mailserver
[13:45] <Monotoko> lololanylol: is this website accessed via a domain?
[13:45] <lololanylol> yes
[13:45] <pinnen> Monotoko: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html
[13:45] <Eagleman> The documentation is a maze, i am better off testing things myself, trial and error
[13:45] <Monotoko> lololanylol: you'll need to set up your virtual servers in apache
[13:45] <pinnen> Monotoko: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/how-to-use-netflix-on-ubuntu
[13:45] <Monotoko> thank you pinnen :)
[13:46] <pinnen> Monotoko: absolutely no problem :)
[13:46] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: trial and error results in a mess and sometimes into a misused system (openrelay)
[13:46] <lololanylol> do I need alamp stack? or is everything included, just need to reconfig, im copying the entire root folder right now which contains the sql files in var/lib and the website files
[13:46] <Monotoko> lololanylol: good... just backup your sites-enabled folder... and any configuration you've done if it's PHP
[13:46] <lololanylol> just have to reconfigure apach again because  its a new machine installation
[13:47] <lololanylol> right?
[13:47] <coraxx> Question... in Ubuntu how does one get a list of windows currently running .... both title of the window and the id ?
[13:47] <coraxx> ...from the Terminal.  (CLI)
[13:48] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ, i do openrelays test every few hours, to see if i didnt misconfigured it
[13:48] <sw> What would be the iptables command to block all traffic apart from port 22 from <IP_ADDRESS>?
[13:48] <Aknot> Is adobe flash for linux supposed to have tearing? When i use windows i dont have it
[13:49] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: read the postfix virtual-howto (virtual domains, unix users)
[13:49] <krz> how does one know if bumblebee is enabled?
[13:50] <isildur> hello. anyone can help me? i have to add element in menù that appear when i get right click on the selected text on the terminal.
[13:51] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: 1st. sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix   to get a clean basic config for using a smarthost. Then make your changes according to the howto. serversetup is not a trial&error-textadventure
[13:52] <sw> How do I create a user but make it so that when they login, instead of /home/$user they're at /srv/backups and have complete ownership of /srv/backups?
[13:53] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ, i know. but like i said. working directly with the documentation isnt getting me far. i am better off testing things myself, trying out stuff
[13:54] <Eagleman> Its not like i am setting up a mailbox for the NSA
[13:54] <helpings> someone please help me out
[13:54] <helpings> what is wrong with this
[13:54] <helpings> cat /etc/fstab | egrep -v ^#' awk '{ print $7 }
[13:55] <xcat> The quotes
[13:55] <xcat> Also egrep
[13:55] <helpings> so grep instead of egrep?
[13:55] <xcat> Also no pipe
[13:55] <xcat> Also not #bash
[13:55] <sw> How do I create a user but make it so that when they login, instead of /home/$user they're at /srv/backups and have complete ownership of /srv/backups?
[13:56] <xcat> sw: change their home dir
[13:56] <TakeItEZ> helpings: awk '!/^#/{print $7}' /etc/fstab            what do you expect $7 printing? it only has 6 fields
[13:56] <aguitel> how install nvidia-173 in 12.10 ?
[13:56] <sw> xcat Do I specify this using adduser?
[13:57] <xcat> sw: or usermod
[13:57] <student> hello comrades I am joinink communist revolution
[13:57] <sw> xcat If I specify their home directory as /srv/backups during adduser, do the permissions etc. get sorted automatically, even though it's not in /home?
[13:57] <Carlinhos> more of a windows question but: i'm planning on doing ubuntu/windows8 (64bit) dual boot. i will only use windows for office and a couple of games (starcraft). how large should my windows partition be?
[13:57] <student> wow how do people do IRC in a console, not enough lines
[13:57] <Pici> Carlinhos: try ##windows
[13:57] <xcat> Permissions are not automatic
[13:58] <xcat> Although they will probably be 700 if you copy /etc/skel to the home dir
[13:58] <sw> xcat If I add a user 'useradd bob' then bob will have permissions for /home/bob? So it's not the same if I specify /srv/backups?
[13:58] <asteve> I'm attempting to change the user limits for a specific user in my system
[13:59] <blez> anyone knows how to run live usb from UEFI mode?
[13:59] <Pici> sw: keep in mind that adduser and useradd are not the same thing.
[13:59] <xcat> sw: why not just try it
[13:59] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ, i am running 2-3 FQDN's each with their own users and password ( PAM ) which Postfix Virtual Domain do you suggest using, to split those domains
[13:59] <asteve> cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max says 6949131; I've added the following to /etc/security/limits.conf : "user hard nofile 6949130"l "user soft nofile 6949130" yet every time I login I'm still getting 1024 as my user limit
[13:59] <Baribal> Hi. Is there a command line tool like cfdisk which I can use to resize partitions as with gparted?
[14:00] <xcat> Pici: they're not?
[14:00] <bono> Baribal: parted
[14:00] <sw> Pici So if I do 'adduser backups --home /srv/backups' then backups won't have permission to the folder until I manually do it?
[14:00] <aguitel> how install nvidia-173 in 12.10 ?
[14:00] <bono> Baribal: but it's not like cfdisk ..
[14:01] <Pici> xcat: They both seek to create users. adduser is typically what people want to use unless they want to specify every single little thing about how the user will be setup.
[14:01] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: split as in?
[14:01] <sw> !nvidia | aguitel
[14:01] <Pici> sw: correct
[14:01] <Pici> sw: assuming that /srv/backups existed before your adduser of course.
[14:01] <huang> ^X
[14:01] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ: currently i have shared domains
[14:01] <sw> Pici Then how come when I don't specify --home and the user ends up in /home/$user, it's ok and I don't need to do anything?
[14:01] <sw> Pici No, it doesn't exist.
[14:01] <Eagleman> if i send mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:01] <Baribal> bono, thanks. Interesting interface. ^^
[14:02] <xcat> sw: Because by default it copies /etc/skel and sets mode 700
[14:02] <Pici> sw: then using adduser will assign the proper permissions then.
[14:02] <Eagleman> it also arrives on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:02] <sw> Pici Thanks, that's all I wanted to know!
[14:02] <sw> 8-)
[14:03] <xcat> On CentOS you can specify -m or --create-home to create it
[14:03] <xcat> just `man adduser`
[14:03] <Tex_Nick> student : if you need to change the columns or lines in the terminal ... menu edit/profiles/edit
[14:03] <sw> Pici Do I want --home /srv/backups, or --base-dir /srv?
[14:03] <helpings> takeitez can i pm you, or could you pm me with what was wrong with me cmd?
[14:04] <xcat> sw: are you afraid to try things?
[14:04] <raven_> hi
[14:04] <raven_> i am trying to install scponly but it cannot be found - ubuntu 12.10
[14:04] <TakeItEZ> helpings: you're missing a pipe | before awk. but awk doesn't need grep and both nearly never need cat.
[14:05] <lesshaste> can you get acroread for ubuntu?
[14:05] <Pici> sw: you should be using adduser, which doesn't have a --base-dir option.
[14:05] <TakeItEZ> helpings: so you could use: awk '!/^#/{print $7}' /etc/fstab           but what do you expect $7 printing? it only has 6 fields
[14:05] <sw> xcat You're in a help channel, if you don't wantto help then why are you here?
[14:05] <xcat> What a twat
[14:06] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: i'm usually never using system-users, but sounds as your setup takes all domains as mydestination and not as virtual.
[14:06] <raven_> i am trying to install scponly but it cannot be found - ubuntu 12.10 any ideas??
[14:06] <Pici> xcat: mind your language and attitude please.
[14:06] <helpings> yeh i see the 6 field mistake takeitez , and why the !/^#/?
[14:07] <Tex_Nick> lesshaste : what distro of ubuntu
[14:07] <Carlinhos> ubuntu related this time: i'm planning on doing ubuntu/windows8 (64bit)  dual boot. i will only use windows for office and a couple of games  (starcraft). I will use a shared ntsf partition for music, films, etc. how large should my ubuntu partition be?
[14:07] <lesshaste> Tex_Nick, quantal
[14:07] <TakeItEZ> helpings: !/^#/   as you don't want lines starting with #, don't you?

[14:08] <helpings> no i don't, lol wow, extreme newb error there, takes a lot though
[14:08] <lesshaste> Tex_Nick, thanks! I didn't see the deb file on the adobe website!
[14:09] <Tex_Nick> lesshaste : you're welcome :)
[14:09] <raven_> i am trying to install scponly but it cannot be found - ubuntu 12.10 any ideas??
[14:09] <Eagleman> TakeItEZ >so either remove eagleman.net from virtual-domain-list or set "mydestination=localhost"  localhost wont help, my previous setup worked ( no mydestination and virtual_alias_domains = localhost eagleman.net jrpoot.eu
[14:09] <Pici> raven_: looks like it was removed from Ubuntu due to being removed from debian. See http://bugs.debian.org/650590 for details and replacement info.
[14:10] <Pici> xcat: I don't think its warranted in this case.
[14:10] <aguitel> how install nvidia-173 in 12.10 ?
[14:10] <raven_> Pici, do you know anything similar?
[14:10] <bftdrgv> hi how to use firezilla?
[14:11] <Pici> raven_: the page I linked suggests using sshd's own internal-sftp option.
[14:11] <TakeItEZ> Eagleman: which results in a warnings since missing mydestination let postfix use your domains by default. and this makes them listed twice, once real, once virtual
[14:11] <fabrizziop> hi, what can I do if the system reports an error for an already uninstalled program ("This problem report applies to a program which is not installed any more. (/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java)"
[14:11] <fabrizziop> any way to clear?
[14:11] <raven_> Pici, yes but i do not want the users to get any command line access
[14:11] <adamk> bftdrgv: firezilla or filezilla?
[14:11] <bftdrgv> filezilla adamk
[14:12] <bftdrgv> always think of firefox loool
[14:12] <jnix> i have a (probably) pretty lame question for you folks... i'm using ubuntu 12.10, but whenever i try to ssh to my RHEL6 kvm host, it's taking forever to give me a pw prompt
[14:12] <hiatus> why are ubuntu's icons png's instead of svg's?
[14:12] <adamk> bftdrgv: Exactly what are you trying to do?  filezilla is an (S)FTP client, so you just put in the username, hostname, password, etc, and connect to a remote server.
[14:12] <adamk> bftdrgv: Please keep it in channel.
[14:12] <jnix> around 60-120 seconds.. an alternative is to disable GSSAPIAuthentication and UseDNS=no in sshd_config, wondering if anyone knows what to do with the ssh client rather than change the settings on the ssh server?
[14:13] <Pici> raven_: But that is exactly what that option is for. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/SFTP#SFTP-only_Accounts
[14:13] <raven_> Pici ok tnx for the hint
[14:14] <Mathias> any ways to disable the mouse stick-thing? the preferences only show my external mouse and my touchpad :\

[14:19] <lesshaste> Ganbuntu, I think the start up graphics system is not X

[14:19] <lesshaste> Pici, asap :(
[14:20] <sw> Hi, would 'iptables -A INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j ACCEPT; iptables -P INPUT DROP' be the best method of only allowing traffic from the specified IP address? Or are there other scenarios that should be included?
[14:20] <Ganbuntu> lesshaste: how do I configure X? I'm new to all this Ubuntu stuff
[14:20] <lesshaste> Ganbuntu, I don't have time right now.. google will help a bit as there are docs on this
[14:20] <lesshaste> or someone here might help
[14:20] <Ganbuntu> oh ok
[14:20] <lesshaste> Ganbuntu, I need to fill out a form asap :)
[14:20] <Ganbuntu> have fun
[14:21] <lesshaste> :(
[14:23] <wlosio> Hi
[14:24] <wlosio> I have problem with photos
[14:24] <wlosio> I've 12 photos (.TIFF) around 131mb size. and whem i'm trying  open this photos my Ubuntu got freez.... -.- and greyscreen
[14:25] <wlosio> and my Ubuntu stop work... -.-
[14:25] <wlosio> how to solve this ?
[14:25] <bekks> wlosio: How much RAM do you have?
[14:25] <iceroot> is there a default shortcut on unity to show the desktop/minimize all windows?
[14:25] <wlosio> 4GB / amd64 arch
[14:26] <jnix> any SSH gurus? :)
[14:26] <bekks> jnix: Why?
[14:26] <bekks> wlosio: Thats pretty low for pictures of that size.
[14:26] <iceroot> jnix: #openssh or something like that
[14:26] <Aknot> Is there a way to get exactly same mouse accel/speed as in windows 7?
[14:26] <wlosio> all photos who have more than 20MB i got freez
[14:26] <wlosio> to 20mb is okay
[14:26] <iceroot> jnix: and its always a good idea to post usefull and detailed questions instead of "any foobar"
[14:27] <dave_> which app usare you using to open the tiff?
[14:27] <bekks> wlosio: I'd say you have a "too less RAM"-issue.
[14:27] <jnix> when sshing from ubuntu 12.04 server to my RHEL6 server, its taking me 60+ seconds to reach the login prompt
[14:27] <wlosio> bekks at  old windows 512ram is okay...
[14:27] <iceroot> jnix: should be related to the server
[14:27] <jnix> some googling suggests i need to turn off UseDNS and GSSAPIAuthentication
[14:27] <iceroot> jnix: you can use ssh -vvv
[14:27] <bekks> jnix: Disable DNS resolution in the sshd_config of your server.
[14:27] <jnix> well the thing is the ubuntu machine is the only one that does this
[14:27] <iceroot> jnix: that is rhel related, not ubuntu related
[14:27] <wlosio> with old harware x32...
[14:27] <aguitel> anyway to solve installation nvidia-173 in 12.10?
[14:27] <jnix> i've got an arch machine, and a couple debian boxes that this doesn't happen with, so it's an ubuntu only thing
[14:28] <wlosio> so?...i think is problem with Ubuntu configuration
[14:28] <iceroot> jnix: use ssh -vvv
[14:28] <jnix> iceroot: http://fpaste.org/V7ho/
[14:28] <jnix> it's faililng because i'm not using kerberos
[14:28] <jnix> is there a way to keep ubuntu's ssh client from checking that first? just immediately do password login vs trying to find an appropriate method
[14:28] <wlosio> bekks, so.... if that is problem of RAM... so how much RAM is needed for ~150mb .TIFF photos?
[14:29] <Tex_Nick> iceroot : try CTRL+SUPER+D
[14:29] <bekks> wlosio: Depends on the resolution of the pictures.
[14:29] <isildur> hello. anyone can help me? i have to add element in menù that appear when i get right click on the selected text on the terminal.
[14:29] <iceroot> Tex_Nick: ah thats fine and working great, thank you
[14:29] <wlosio> 12k/5k
[14:29] <Tex_Nick> iceroot np :)
[14:30] <iceroot> jnix: -k?
[14:30] <iceroot> jnix: see "man ssh"
[14:30] <iceroot> jnix: and -o with ChallengeResponseAuthentication
[14:30] <wlosio> Photo1: 13/15k rez, 7,2m = litte problems
[14:30] <jnix> i'd rather just fix the ssh client so it can play nicely with my other servers :) ... -k looks nice
[14:30] <jnix> i might just alias ssh=ssh -k
[14:34] <M13> hello
[14:35] <jnix> i fixed it by copying the ssh_config from the rhel box to the ubuntu box.. dunno what the deal is, i'll have to diff the files and see later.. thanks for the help guys :)
[14:36] <iceroot> jnix: when you found the reason, maybe create a bug against openssh-client if it is an issue with the config ubuntu is providing
[14:36] <iceroot> !ubuntu-bug | jnix
[14:36] <student> cos
[14:36] <iceroot> !bug | jnix
[14:36] <student> cbxcvxc
[14:36] <jnix> iceroot: i've got a bit more testing to do before i report it as a bug, but if it's not something i fooked up i'll report it as a bug for sure :)
[14:36] <isildur> hello. anyone can help me? i have to add element in menù that appear when i get right click on the selected text on the terminal.

[14:40] <M13> I have tried this many times
[14:40] <odla> hi, i want to ssh from my mac laptop to my ubuntu desktop. i installed openssh-server and opened up a port 4444 on my router. to ssh into my ubuntu box can i now just do ssh username@ip.address:4444?
[14:40] <M13> yes
[14:40] <M13> odla
[14:41] <odla> M13: did i need to tell ssh to use port 4444 instead of 22?
[14:41] <M13> yes
[14:41] <M13> I dont know the command of my head
[14:41] <M13> http://www.google.com
[14:41] <odla> M13: ok i never did that is why i can't ssh in then :)
[14:42] <M13> odla
[14:42] <M13> forward port 22
[14:42] <odla> M13: that's what i am going to do
[14:42] <M13> ok
[14:43] <eutheria> so my machine blew up today, i keep a backup using deja-dup
[14:43] <eutheria> i tried to restore
[14:43] <eutheria> it failed
[14:44] <ShaneO> hi guys Im sharing my internet with another PC via an ethernet cable by using the "share this network connection" option under network manager...is there a way i can make the hardlined pc reach the external network?
[14:45] <odla> M13: so using this -> http://foscam.us/blog/foscamipcameras/a-guide-to-port-forwarding-belkin-router/  ... i opened up 4444 for that ip address and put it in both inbound and private port areas. was that what i was suppose to do?
[14:45] <DJones> odla: You will probably beed to configure the ssh config file on the machine that ssh-server is running on to tell it to listen on port 4444 as well as configuring the router
[14:45] <ShaneO> it wont find any of my network shares which is important as that is what the secondary pc is for...managing my wdtv
[14:45] <M13> yes
[14:45] <M13> Ill get the command
[14:46] <eutheria> deja-dup is so unreliable it hurts,
[14:46] <aguitel> anyway to solve installation nvidia-173 in 12.10?
[14:47] <M13> odla: ssh -p 4444 <username>
[14:47] <Hanmac_> hm imo when you install ubuntu/debian it should detect that its on an laptop or similar: the problem is when you upgrade and install new images, and forgot to install the wifi driver kernel package
[14:48] <odla> M13: do i need to run that on my ubuntu box?
[14:48] <atlef> !nvidia | aguitel
[14:48] <isildur> !it
[14:48] <M13> no
[14:48] <M13> wait
[14:48] <M13> are you going to connect to your ubuntu machine or your mac?
[14:49] <M13> dammit I have to go
[14:49] <Gaga> Anyone knows, when Ubuntu Phone source will be available for free download? answer please.
[14:49] <aguitel> atlef, no solution in this site
[14:49] <isildur> hello. anyone can help me? i have to add element in menù that appear when i get right click on the selected text on the terminal.
[14:49] <odla> M13: i want to connect to ubuntu from my mac so that i can run R
[14:49] <M13> odla, do It on the computer your going to connect to
[14:49] <atlef> aguitel, what is the problem
[14:50] <M13> cyah all
[14:50] <M13> bye odla
[14:50] <odla> M13: ok
[14:50] <M13> odla
[14:50] <odla> thanks
[14:50] <M13> ##m13
[14:50] <M13> please join
[14:50] <eutheria> seeing as deja-dup is totally useless and you can't restore your backup from one machine to another
[14:50] <DJones> Gaga: Your best bet of an answer to that is to join #ubuntu-phone and ask there
[14:50] <eutheria> what other backup systems should people use?
[14:51] <krz> how do i check which synaptics touchpad driver i have installed
[14:51] <aguitel> atlef, see that:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1516917/
[14:52] <Gaga> DJones: Thank you!
[14:53] <atlef> aguitel, have you tried to install it using Synaptic Package Manager
[14:54] <Gaga> #ubuntu-phone No such channel in list https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[14:54] <aguitel> atlef, yes
[14:54] <aguitel> atlef, same ussue
[14:54] <DJones> Gaga: It exists, I'm in it now
[14:54] <atlef> aguitel, maybe try sudo apt-get install -f
[14:55] <Gaga> I found it! Thank you!

[14:57] <atlef> aguitel, np
[14:57] <atlef> !patience | aguitel
[14:57] <aguitel> atlef, ok
[14:58] <atlef> aguitel, it is a virtue you know, patience that is
[14:58] <atlef> :-)
[14:58] <helmut_> hi
[14:59] <snax> hi everybody
[14:59] <eutheria> sigh, using deja-dup you might as well not backup
[14:59] <snax> i've got a little problem with mdadm
[14:59] <snax> i have two PCs, my desktop and my htpc
[15:00] <snax> in my desktop there are 5 HDDs with 2 partitions
[15:00] <hiatus> you know, I wouldn't mind the slow pace of irc if it wasn't for the fact that canonical always suggests using it
[15:00] <atlef> !enter | snax
[15:00] <nicholas__> Hello. Having some trouble on Ubuntu Server, where it at a random freezes(?) up, and drops the network connection through eth0. Cannot access any services, but can login through direct access to the machine. Anyone know what would cause this, and if there is any fix?
[15:00] <eutheria> nicholas__, have you tried diagnosing the problem?
[15:01] <nicholas__> eutheria, I wouldn't really know where to start. Looked through syslog, but nothing stood out. I'm at the machine right now, and I can neither send or recieve traffic on it
[15:02] <snax> ok. so there are a 2,99 TB partition for a raid 5 and a 1 gb partition for a raid 0 whick works as swap. both raids are encrypted with luks. now i want to put these drives into my htpc. de raid 0 was correct recognized but the raid 5 is inactive and every partition is recognized as spare
[15:02] <aguitel> atlef, ok
[15:02] <ben1u> Hello. during the period / operation increases the CPU load of Firefox more and more. Is known the problem?
[15:02] <eutheria> nicholas__, do you know what sort of network cards are in it? have you tried any hardware diagnostic tools?
[15:03] <ben1u> now 8h in operation.
[15:03] <eutheria> come on duplicity
[15:03] <eutheria> don't make me cry
[15:03] <eutheria> restore my backup
[15:05] <nicholas__> eutheria, my motherboard is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131781 and seems the network card is a Realtek 8111E
[15:05] <eutheria> nicholas__, you have the right ip config?
[15:07] <krz> anyone  know how to get the current version of the synaptics touchpad driver?
[15:08] <KaiForce> nicholas__: sounds like hardware conflict, or malfunctioning hardware
[15:09] <eutheria> KaiForce, or two machines have the same ip address
[15:09] <nicholas__> might be, I've set up static IP in /etc/network/interfaces (old config), while also assigning a static IP from my router (same IP), could that be the issue?
[15:09] <adamk> krz: Xorg driver versions can be found in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:09] <KaiForce> eutheria: doesn't Ubuntu advise if that situation occurs?
[15:10] <eutheria> KaiForce, he is using server
[15:10] <KaiForce> eutheria: ah.  nicholas__ :  a "static" address in DHCP is not the same as a static address.  If the address is reserved in DHCP and you've set it statically on the machine, you shouldn't have an IP conflict
[15:11] <NeoColossus> Hello all!
[15:11] <krz> adamk, and how exacly should i access that?
[15:12] <nicholas__> KaiForce, ok. Would be wierd if that was the issue, since it's been working fine since I bought the machine (~6 months ago), it's just started to act up the last 3 days
[15:12] <KaiForce> you could pull the cable and ping the address from another device.  If you get a response (or an arp match) you'll know that's the problem
[15:13] <ska> Does the ATI/AMD driver installer create a package for you to install, or does it install directly?
[15:13] <adamk> It can do either.
[15:13] <ska> amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run is the file
[15:13] <nearst> yup. it work good
[15:13] <adamk> Though, frankly, if you don't know what you are doing, you should stick with the driver version Ubuntu packages.
[15:13] <NeoColossus> I have appended the line export PATH=$PATH:~/bin to my ~/.bashrc file to allow created scripts to be ran as a command rather than a script. Is there a way to make this recursive for all subdirectories in ~/bin without implementing several export lines?
[15:13] <ska> adamk: ok.. thanks...
[15:14] <KaiForce> NeoColossus: not that I know of, that would be interesting
[15:15] <ska> adamk: I see some proprietary drivers in the Package-Gui manager, but they seem to fail installation.
[15:15] <KaiForce> actually that could probably be scripted by someone skilled in bash
[15:15] <adamk> ska: You might want to find out why :-)  They *should* work, and they do here.
[15:15] <KaiForce> NeoColossus: may want to ask in #bash
[15:15] <NeoColossus> It's because I have one script that makes new directories that contain files, in it's parent directory. Rather than have all the files go to ~/bin when I run the command.
[15:16] <NeoColossus> KaiForce: Just because I mention script does not mean it is a bash question. It's simply making an action recursive.
[15:17] <NeoColossus> Granted I could write a script that performs that function but there should already be some sort of implementation for it.
[15:17] <KaiForce> NeoColossus: I'm simply telling you how I would approach the problem.  You are free to ignore my advice.
[15:17] <nicholas__> KaiForce, might have turned out to be some faulty config from my part. Tried restarting networking, nothing changed. Tried setting networking to use dhcp-client, restarted - worked agian. The thing that makes me uncomfortable is that this "suddenly" happened after months of working fine, so I'm suspicious that there might be another source to my problem.
[15:18] <NeoColossus> If all else fails in research, I shall digress and write a function for it myself.
[15:18] <FunkyELF> how can I upgrade to a new version of mpd?  The version with 12.04 is 0.16.5, doesn't work for me, and according to #mpd is unsupported
[15:18] <KaiForce> nicholas__: I would trust your instinct on that...
[15:19] <NeoColossus> KaiForce: I appreciate your approach but from personal experience, the fellas over at #bash jump on you pretty heavily when it is not a bash question.
[15:19] <jrib> NeoColossus: it is a bash question though...
[15:20] <thec4ke> well technically settings path isnt a bash question
[15:20] <nicholas__> Hehe yeah. I'll upgrade my packages to exclude outdated software. Server is still running 10.04, but that couldn't be a huge issue? Nothing else to do but to wait for it to "eventually" happen again. Thanks for you help KaiForce and eutheria!
[15:20] <NeoColossus> thec4ke: Thank you!
[15:21] <jrib> thec4ke: setting PATH for your bash shell is not a bash question?
[15:22] <thec4ke> path applies to any shell or any program you run under it
[15:22] <thec4ke> bash just happens to use it
[15:22] <jrib> thec4ke: yes...
[15:22] <Kelbizzle> Hello, I'm logged into my machine at home via ssh. Is there an easy way I can move a file from that machine to this machine here at work?
[15:22] <thec4ke> but yea its kinda pendantic tbh
[15:23] <sw> Kelbizzle sftp/scp etc ...
[15:23] <jhutchins_wk> Kelbizzle: scp or rsync
[15:23] <thec4ke> if I knew how to help him i wouldnt be like ITS NOT A BASH QUESTION GAWD
[15:23] <boichev> Kelbizzle, scp your_user_at_home@ip_at_home:/path/to/file .
[15:23] <NeoColossus> thec4ke: I agree there but as I have mentioned, it will likely become a loopty-loop on who to ask.
[15:23] <jrib> NeoColossus: anyway, the worst that can happen is you don't get help.  The best that can happen is you get an answer.
[15:23] <KaiForce> NeoColossus: did you google?  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/657108/bash-recursively-adding-subdirectories-to-the-path
[15:23] <boichev> Kelbizzle, this will copy the file to the current dir if you want it somewhere else just substitute the . with /path/foo
[15:24] <Kelbizzle> jhutchins_wk: boichev  so there's no way to do it in the current session.
[15:24] <NeoColossus> jrib: Oh I understand, like I said there should be something implemented but if not it's not a problem for me to write the function myself.
[15:24] <NeoColossus> KaiForce: I did not...
[15:24] <Kelbizzle> boichev: okay I think I understand.\
[15:24] <KaiForce> you are right, the bash guys would have jumped on you
[15:25] <jrib> I still suggest you ask #bash
[15:25] <jhutchins_wk> Kelbizzle: ssh does not have a background file transfer option.
[15:26] <thec4ke> that stack overflow link will only add to path once
[15:26] <NeoColossus> jrib: duely noted
[15:26] <thec4ke> if you make a new directory youll have to run it again
[15:26] <Kelbizzle> jhutchins_wk: that makes sense. I can work around it. Thank you and boichev for your quick responses.
[15:26] <boichev> Kelbizzle, if you want a more frendly way to move files around open a file manager go to the field where your current location is typed and in gnome press Ctrl + L this will let you edit the location not by buttons but with text and then clear all and type ssh://user_at_home@ip_at_home:/
[15:26] <NeoColossus> thec4ke, in that case you just source ~/.bashrc
[15:27] <boichev> Kelbizzle, this will make you move files in the two ways from the gui :)
[15:27] <KaiForce> thec4ke: isn't that true of any solution?
[15:27] <thec4ke> thats correct
[15:27] <losier> hi everyone,i have something wrong with my kde environment
[15:27] <thec4ke> thought you wanted something automatic though :)
[15:27] <KaiForce> an automatic solution to that would be very interesting
[15:28] <NeoColossus> I agree. It may become a project of mine...
[15:29] <jrib> losier: what's that?
[15:29] <NeoColossus> Only issue I see is that you would need to set the static parent in the function so that all children can be dynamic
[15:30] <NeoColossus> i.e ~/bin
[15:30] <losier> the computer became very slow when i entered plasma,and when i ran top,i found 'akonadi-nepomuk','akonadi-maildis' occupied 100% of the cpu each.and i had to kill them by hand.what's wrong?
[15:31] <azrael_> Hi I've some problems about the driver of Atheros ar9285 Wireless controller. The driver shows some problems like the instability of the signal/connection and some encryption errors.  Could anyone help me?
[15:34] <jhutchins_wk> losier: What's wrong with your KDE environment is that you have KDE4.
[15:35] <jhutchins_wk> losier: akonadi-nepomuk is designed to use all your available resources.

[15:39] <azrael_> Any ideas about my problem?
[15:39] <compdoc> is there a way to make the command "sudo nautilus" be able to browse the network?
[15:39] <hdd> jrib: soo there is no way to install /build/re-compile that package?
[15:39] <jrib> hdd: there is.  But you should upgrade your ubuntu version to a supported version first.
[15:40] <ExxKA> compdoc, it is not as much the command as it is a matter of having samba installled
[15:40] <compdoc> samba is always installed
[15:40] <hdd> jrib: i cant, becouse it a production server, and as a policy (my paranoid boss) its not allow to upgrade versions
[15:40] <jrib> hdd: in fact, if you upgrade to 12.04, then you'll have postgresql-server-dev-9.1 in the default repositories
[15:40] <halc> hello
[15:41] <jrib> hdd: have you told him 11.04 is no longer supported and no longer receiving security updates?

[15:41] <hdd> jrib: he trust his configs...
[15:41] <ztgu> I don't know how to boot usb from grub. should be possible. any idea on I can solve this?
[15:41] <jrib> hdd: that's pretty silly.
[15:42] <ExxKA> compdoc, I am sorry then, but that is as far as I can help you.
[15:42] <day> hdd: paranoid security support  DONT UPGRADE...something doesnt fit here :P
[15:42] <hdd> jrib: i know that why im moving out after this job
[15:42] <dufa> halc: on ubuntu there is Starup Disk Creator

[15:43] <jrib> hdd: you can try to grab the source package and rebuilding it on 11.04
[15:43] <ztgu> hdd: pro
[15:43] <hdd> jrib: its a pitas?
[15:44] <halc> dufa i dont have this program
[15:44] <jrib> hdd: not really; you just try rebuilding the package as usual but grab the source from precise's repositories

[15:45] <azrael_> Hi I've some problems about the driver of Atheros ar9285 Wireless controller. The driver shows some problems like the instability of the signal/connection and some encryption errors. Could anyone help me?
[15:45] <OerHeks> halc, kubuntu has startup disk creator too, type "startup" in kde menu
[15:46] <jrib> hdd: just make sure you use a deb-src line in your sources.list for precise
[15:46] <hdd> for precise or natty?
[15:46] <palasso> Hello, is it possible when installing ubuntu to select full disk encryption on a disk that has windows (and want to keep them)?
[15:47] <jrib> hdd: hdd well is postgresql-server-dev-9.1 in natty?
[15:47] <jhutchins_wk> palasso: No.
[15:47] <hdd> jrib: nope
[15:47] <jrib> hdd: then you'd want the deb-src line for a distribution version that does have it
[15:47] <orudie> Hi. I installed ubuntu 12.04 yesterday , and I am having trouble browsing windows domain shares. Please help
[15:47] <hdd> jrib: aaaa got it :D sorry
[15:48] <hdd> jrib: thanks ;)
[15:48] <hdd> sorry guys for my faces
[15:48] <palasso> Since full disk encryption isn't possible, is it possible to encrypt the / partition of Ubuntu during installation?
[15:48] <jrib> palasso: pretty sure full disk encryption just means the partitions related to ubuntu.  Though I admit I've never used it
[15:49] <palasso> then why wouldn't it work if it means only the partitions for ubuntu ?
[15:49] <BluesKaj> orudie, install ntfs-3g , and make sure the windows foldwes have share permissions in windows
[15:49] <palasso> it's a little awkward to say full disk encryption but mean the partitions of ubuntu
[15:50] <KamZou> Hi, i'd like to login to my ubuntu even if LDAP server is down, any way of configuration for PAM to do that ?
[15:51] <f2000> hey room, new to ubuntu, got a few questions if any of you guys (or girls) are feeling in a helpful mood today?
[15:51] <jrib> palasso: doesn't it say "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security."?
[15:52] <palasso> Yes but I don't understand if that's different from full disk encryption
[15:52] <f2000> just got ubuntu server installed (no gui!) and I was trying to join our MS/AD domain
[15:53] <f2000> but dont think my NIC card has been installed
[15:53] <krz> fark. i just did sudo apt-get install rails.  how do i undo this?
[15:53] <boichev> f2000, can you try ifconfig -a
[15:53] <palasso> jrib if i want to dual boot ubuntu with windows can i use that option "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security." or will it mess my windows installation?
[15:54] <boichev> f2000, can you see any ethX devices
[15:54] <jrib> palasso: my guess is that it would not touch your windows partition.  But I do not know for sure.
[15:54] <f2000> thanks man, just checking now
[15:54] <palasso> well I wouldn't want to know that it messes my windows partition by experimenting :D
[15:54] <f2000> em1 + lo
[15:54] <boichev> krz,  sudo apt-get uninstall rails
[15:55] <boichev> krz or if you don't need the config files sudo apt-get --purge remove rails
[15:55] <Pici> boichev, krz: its remove not uninstall
[15:55] <eutheria> ok so duplicity is not reliable
[15:55] <eutheria> what other options are there?
[15:55] <boichev> Pici, as i typed --purge think of that :D
[15:56] <krz> boichev, you sure its sudo apt-get uninstall rails?
[15:56] <hdd> jrib: for how long ubuntu-server-12.04 will have support??
[15:56] <jrib> hdd: 5 years from release
[15:56] <f2000> if i do run "ifconfig -a" i see em1 and lo
[15:56] <hdd> jrib: so something like 2017?
[15:57] <boichev> krz, sudo apt-get remove rails :)
[15:57] <dufa> hdd: yes
[15:57] <hdd> dufa: thankx
[15:57] <hdd> dufa: thanks
[15:57] <nearst> hi ppl.
[15:57] <boichev> f2000, em1 is your build in lan card is there an ip there ?
[15:58] <f2000> @ boichev : yup, onboard card
[15:58] <f2000> doesnt have ip on it
[15:58] <fantus> hello...if you are logged in as administrator, does that means that you have root premisession ?
[15:59] <boichev> f2000, I can't tell you how to get to your MS/AD domain but first get an ip :) if you have dhcp server use sudo dhclient em1
[15:59] <f2000> haha no worries :) at least thats a step in the right direction
[16:00] <f2000> got an ip now!
[16:00] <boichev> f2000, what version of ubuntu do you use ?
[16:00] <f2000> ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64
[16:00] <dufa> fantus: you would still need to use sudo in order to get root premissions
[16:01] <jhutchins_wk> Full disk encryption is like it says, the whole disk.  It does a secure wipe in the process.
[16:02] <boichev> f2000, maybe http://manyrootsofallevilrants.blogspot.com/2012/10/join-ubuntu-1210-quantal-quetzal-server.html
[16:02] <boichev> f2000, again I don't know what am I doing :) just googling :)
[16:03] <f2000> great, i will check there...im just glad i got an ip ok. I had a horrible vision this wasnt going to work
[16:03] <orudie> BluesKaj: yes, I can access domain shares in windows 7 computers that are not joined the domain just fine
[16:03] <f2000> boichev, thats awesome...your fast haha.
[16:04] <fantus> when i type "su root" or "su" or "sudo root" and type password, i get message: Authentification failure. (ps: im logged as administrator)
[16:04] <f2000> @ boichev: i tried sudo domainjoin-cli join mydomain myuser earlier but it wasnt working
[16:04] <argelis> hello
[16:04] <f2000> however, at least i know my NIC is installed and working
[16:04] <orudie> BluesKaj: and ntf-3g is already installed
[16:04] <argelis> i want to know how do i get ubuntu on my phone
[16:05] <f2000> listen, thanks alot for listening/helping me boichev, awesome guy! internet high five! haha
[16:05] <orudie> BluesKaj: I really need to access windows shares because it is literally stopping me from working )
[16:05] <boichev> f2000, maybe it didn't wokr because you didn't hava lan at all
[16:05] <f2000> yeah, thats what im thinking too.l
[16:05]  * boichev high fives f2000
[16:05] <f2000> cheers again man! really apprecaite you talking time to help
[16:05] <f2000> haha :D
[16:05] <f2000> take it easy, i might be back tomorrow haha
[16:06] <nearst> vmware running more good on linux 64 then win server
[16:06] <boichev> f2000, ok man bye :) I'm going home ... good luck and have fun with ubuntu
[16:06] <f2000> i might look into the gui install for the server once im on the domain (make things a little bit easier for myself)
[16:06] <f2000> will do man, will do :)
[16:08] <xomrk> is any hotkey to show panels in xfce 4.8 ( when is automacity hide )
[16:08] <fantus> when i type "su root" or "su" or "sudo root" and type password, i get message: Authentification failure. (ps: im logged as administrator)..what to type to get root access?
[16:08] <nearst> f2000, turnkey is good imo, ubuntu base
[16:08] <jrib> !sudo | fantus
[16:08] <nearst> fantus, sudo instead. no root
[16:08] <compdoc> fantus, try: sudo su -
[16:08] <orudie> I can easily access domain shares with win7 computers that are not joined the domain, but I installed ubuntu 12.04 yesterday and can't access or browse any shares.  I get error "failed to retrieve shares list form server" when I click onthe "domain name" in windows network browser
[16:09] <fantus> compdoc, sudo su worked. thanks
[16:09] <compdoc> fantus, its rare you actually need to become root. best to use sudo command
[16:09] <raven_> hi
[16:09] <f2000> @ nearst: just did a serach there (not heard of it before). So is it just ubuntu server, but with the gui pre-installed?@
[16:09] <fantus> just wanted to know the command thats it, no need and interests in becoming the root ) got my answer tho, thanks
[16:10] <f2000> is it a good place to start for a ubuntu beginner?
[16:10] <r4y> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't get online videos to play. I tried installing flash, as well as removing that and after which I tried also installing flash installer and then installing from the abobe website, maybe I should try gnash?
[16:10] <xomrk> how to show hide panels in xfce?
[16:10] <raven_> i need sftp accounts for 4 users with access on the same folder and without any access to command line - what would be the best approach to config this?
[16:10] <Third3ye> question: when doing a fresh install and allowing Ubuntu to delete the whole drive, does it then create a separate partition for the /home folder, or does it just make one partition spanning the whole drive?
[16:11] <compdoc> Third3ye, one part
[16:11] <meLon> Has anybody gotten pulseaudio over LAN working on 12.10?  I am unable to select a remote device without padevchooser ;\
[16:11] <jil> hello
[16:11] <Third3ye> screw that.
[16:11] <nearst> f2000, google turnkeylinux
[16:11] <compdoc> I like it that way
[16:11] <f2000> @nearst, im on http://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/ubuntu-docs now
[16:11] <Third3ye> How does one make a LVM in advanced partitioning then?
[16:12] <f2000> would i reinstall the server
[16:12] <jil> I am trying to check my hardisk for errors. I am using smartctl -t long ... do I have to restart?
[16:12] <compdoc> Third3ye, if you install using ubuntu-server, and possible the alt desktop installer, you get the option for lvm
[16:12] <jil> If not, I how do I know if the test if finished? I have waited the required time but nothing in my test log.  thx
[16:12] <jhutchins_wk> Third3ye: If you don't know, why not just go with the defaults and get to know the system first?
[16:13] <orudie> I can easily access domain shares with win7 computers that are not joined the domain, but I installed ubuntu 12.04 yesterday and can't access or browse any shares.  I get error "failed to retrieve shares list form server" when I click onthe "domain name" in windows network browser
[16:14] <raven_> sftp on ubuntu 12.10: i need sftp accounts for 4 users with access on the same folder and without any access to command line - what would be the best approach to config this?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> orudie, make sure you have permission to access the domain shares
[16:15] <nearst> f2000, turnkeylinux is ubuntu LTS base. no gui. but have http access for configuration. im use a lot pre-defined server there.
[16:15] <jrib> fantus: don't use "sudo su".  Please read the information ubottu gave you
[16:16] <Third3ye> jhutchins_wk: cause i already know the system... tried installing arch and it's clear I'm not ready for that system :P
[16:17] <jil> It's been five days since I'm trying to get that ubuntu 12.10 working well.
[16:17] <jil> Please help
[16:18] <hublao> Hello,I seem to be having issues with my wifi. It keeps connecting and disconnecting. What do I do?
[16:18] <nicholas__> have a small issue with my raid5-setup with mdadm. i have specified "devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1,/dev/sde1" in my mdadm.conf, but still it tries to create the raid using /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sde on boot. this turns out to break LVM and causes the boot to halt, waiting for the drive.
[16:18] <Third3ye> But hypothetically speaking, if i do install as lvm via the automated feature, afterwards i could just resize the partition, make a new one and copy the files from home over to the new partition
[16:19] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Have you been monitoring the drive with smart or are you just now starting to test it?
[16:19] <nearst> avoid lvm and raid :D
[16:19] <fantus> jrib ok thanks
[16:19] <Third3ye> i don't have raid :P But thanks
[16:19] <nicholas__> yeah nearst, seems like they tend to annoy eachother
[16:19] <f2000> nearst: i was hoping to setup a newznab server for personal use, would turnkey be a better solution (sorry for all the questions)
[16:20] <jil> I started a test 4 hours ago.  It said to wait for 70min which I did
[16:20] <jil> but I have nothing in the logs.
[16:20] <Third3ye> screw it, I'm doing it anyways
[16:21] <jil> How can I know if the smart test has really started?
[16:21] <nearst> f2000, worth to try. ima bet
[16:21] <jhutchins_wk> jil: You can use top and ps ax | grep smart
[16:21] <nicholas__> guessing I could add nobootwait to the mounts in fstab, and create a startup-script that assembles the raid correctly and sets status active to the volume group, but that feels like such a hack
[16:21] <nearst> nicholas__, and im not trust grub2 and ext4. lol
[16:21] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Do you see disk activity?  Why are you testing the drive?
[16:22] <f2000> cool, i have it downloading now. i just wondered why it would be better to use this that the offical build?
[16:23] <Third3ye> is it true that kubuntu is going to be discontinued?
[16:23] <jhutchins_wk> f2000: Well, if you install the official build, you can get help here.  If you install a third party build, answers you get here may or may not be correct.
[16:23] <nearst> f2000, u boot and all stuff already for use. only some config
[16:23] <jil> I have some disk activity, but I don't see smartctl when I grep ps... at the same time issuing a new test tell me that it's in progress at 80% since 4 hours?
[16:23] <Peyam> Hi
[16:24] <Peyam> I cant get my ipod work in xubuntu
[16:24] <jil> I suspect my disk to have bad blocks and I want to check
[16:24] <jhutchins_wk> jil: long takes time.
[16:24] <Peyam> What is the problem?
[16:24] <f2000> ahhh ok, i get you know (gui's etc will be allready installed)
[16:24] <jhutchins_wk> jil: smart does not check for bad blocks.
[16:24] <jhutchins_wk> jil: fsck does that.
[16:24] <jil> ok, but smart will give me some usefull stuff on my disk right?
[16:25] <jil> I like if I have hardware falts
[16:26] <jhutchins_wk> jil: It can.  The most common use is to enable long-term monitoring so that if you start to have problems you'll see them in the logs.
[16:27] <entr0py> Anyone know any good resources to become a power user/sysadmin for n00bs like myself?
[16:27] <jil> Ok, jhutchins_wk, thx
[16:27] <nearst> entr0py, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
[16:28] <jil> but if during the monitoring I don't have any crash, does that mean it's a waste of time?
[16:28] <aguitel> how install nvidia-173 in 12.10 ?
[16:28] <magiK_> hello, im running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit,  My graphics are showing up as unknown,  I am using a compaq cq57-339wm it has Intel HD graphics,  Anyone have any suggestions?
[16:29] <entr0py> Thanks nearst; I guess I should rephrase: is there a set of tasks that I should be able to perform that would qualify me to set up a complete linux based network?
[16:29] <hsnmck> hello, I'm using samaba to browse my files on a server using smb://servername/username and it works fine using a file manager, but when I try to mount it using the command line like that "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=username //server/username /media/mount it doesnt work and I'm getting this error:"
[16:29] <hsnmck> mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
[16:29] <hsnmck> any idea please?
[16:29] <hsnmck> mount error(19): No such device
[16:29] <hsnmck> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[16:29] <nearst> magiK_, try nomodeset at grub boot
[16:29] <alfonsoo> hola
[16:30] <nearst> entr0py, i would always read man tbh
[16:30] <magiK_> nearst, in the grub console type nomodeset no other parameters?
[16:30] <jhutchins_wk> hsnmck: cat /proc/filesystems - do you see smbfs/cifs?
[16:30] <nearst> usually im use "nomodeset verbose"
[16:31] <hsnmck> jhutchins_wk, no
[16:31] <Num83rGuy> Why does network manager never auto connect my VPN connection though I have "connect automatically" checked in the settings?
[16:31] <magiK_> nearst, what exactly does that do?
[16:32] <nearst> !nomodeset | magiK_
[16:32] <jhutchins_wk> hsnmck: Are smbfs or cifs-utils installed?
[16:32] <hsnmck> jhutchins_wk, smbfs is installed yes
[16:33] <magiK_> nearst, well everything looks fine, I was just wondering if since it's undetectable that there would be a way to detect it
[16:33] <hsnmck> jhutchins_wk, smbfs is installed yes
[16:33] <nyuszika7h> hi, fglrx's recent versions dropped support for my card. is there any way to get the legacy fglrx?
[16:33] <hsnmck> jhutchins_wk, both actually
[16:33] <zhaozhou> hsnmck, and modules are loaded?
[16:33] <hsnmck> zhaozhou, I don't know how can I load them? I only installed smbfs using apt-get
[16:34] <zhaozhou> hsnmck, should be 'sudo modprobe cifs'
[16:34] <magiK_> It seems to be working correctly, but show's up as unknown when I look at the About System.
[16:34] <nearst> magiK_, usually nomodeset as a temp solution for splash graphic problem imo
[16:34] <hsnmck> zhaozhou, I got FATAL: Module cifs not found.
[16:35] <nearst> magiK_, ya. same to me. since xorg load fine. so no probs
[16:35] <magiK_> nearst, k I was just wondering if I was missing something and missing out on the full potential of the card.
[16:36] <nearst> meaning?
[16:36] <zhaozhou> hsnmck, sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko perhaps
[16:36] <isildur_> hello. anyone can help me? i have to add element in menù that appear when i get right click on the selected text on the terminal.
[16:37] <nearst> im use ati proprietary graphics driver with unknown opengl renderer
[16:37] <hsnmck> zhaozhou, nope :( No such file or directory
[16:37] <zhaozhou> hsnmck, Have you recently updated your kernel?
