[00:00] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, thanks.
[00:00] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: usr13: If removing the current kernel would work, then you must already have an older kernel installed. If you already have an older kernel installed, you can test it by just holding shift during boot (to unhide the grub menu) and selecting it from the grub menu, without the risk of removing your current kernel.
[00:00] <mcphail> trism: that seems to explain it. Thanks and goodnight
[00:00] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: You're welcome.
[00:00] <L3top> Kiziaru: I think unichrome is as good as you are going to get. You can try the proprietary via... but I don't think it will work. What is that thing, like a micro/pico itx?
[00:01] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, unfortunately i autoremoved the older kernal when i upgraded the system
[00:01] <AssociateX> is no one else having problems with flash?
[00:01] <AssociateX> is no one else here* having problems with flash?
[00:01] <L3top> Everyone has problems with flash. Their linux driver is junk AssociateX.
[00:01] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Sound works with the new kernel in the LiveUSB, so I don't think that's the problem.
[00:02] <Ghosthunter007> L3top, part of his issue is he doesnt have a xorg.conf file so I am having him install openchrome
[00:02] <AssociateX> L3top, today is the first day where no flash at all is working on any page in any browser.
[00:02] <L3top> okey doke. Xorg -configure will spit one into ~/xorg.conf.new   Ghosthunter007... not that you were unaware... just sayin.
[00:02] <Ghosthunter007> L3top, flash runs fine for me in 64bit I also use flash-aid
[00:03] <Ghosthunter007> glad that they are not dumping it
[00:03] <L3top> Fine is an arbitrary term imo. AssociateX, if it was working, and has now stopped, that is something else. Did you upgrade or anything?
[00:03] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, I'm on 32bit and also used flashaid. Still, no flash works here.
[00:04] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, No I am using 64 bit flash on 64 bit os
[00:05] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, again thanks for your help.
[00:05] <Ghosthunter007> wow simply amazing how many people in here are trying to port scan my box
[00:05] <L3top> that sounds durdy.
[00:05] <AssociateX> L3top, I was on vaction for 2 weeks, came back and upgraded like maybe 42 packages, then flash stopped working. The plugin shows up in chrome://plugins though.
[00:06] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, did you try to uninstall package reboot and reinstall
[00:06] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, yes
[00:06] <L3top> So it was due to an upgrade. I would sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer  AssociateX
[00:07] <AssociateX> L3top, did that
[00:07] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, do you have syslog and messages enabled on your box I look there for errors
[00:07] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, what would I grep?
[00:08] <revol0xf> Kiziaru, Ubuntu already includes the driver xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
[00:09] <h725> hi, why is the default configuration of apparmor to prevent tcpdump from reading local files?
[00:09] <L3top> well yes revol0xf... but it needs to be loaded. I think Ghosthunter007 is correct, needs an xorg.conf first.
[00:09] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, no just issue view /var/log/syslog
[00:09] <AssociateX> OK
[00:09] <Ghosthunter007> then /flash
[00:10] <Ghosthunter007> with search the file
[00:10] <Ghosthunter007> :q! will make you quit out of view mode
[00:10] <ubuntu-trial> Hey all - I just installed 12.04 x64 - I know its in /dev/sda2 - I cannot boot into the new OS now. I get the Fix Error "operating System Not Found" from Intel Boot Agent..
[00:11] <ubuntu-trial> Anyone know why?
[00:11] <ubuntu-trial> How do I make grub point to boot from /dev/sda2?
[00:11] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: is the partition bootable?
[00:12] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, Ther eis only one partition - this is a 500GB hdd. Installed 12.04 from the live CD
[00:12] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: The only thing I could think of is to check to make sure the partition is marked bootable.
[00:13] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, How do you do that ?
[00:13] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: what is sda1?
[00:13] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: I'm not really sure. :)
[00:13] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, nothing stands out there.
[00:14] <gaelfx> gparted is one way to checck if a partition is bootable
[00:14] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: OK, it has fdisk which is what I've used before. you run 'fdisk /dev/sda' and then 'l'
[00:14] <ubuntu-trial> L3top, http://pastebin.com/fVJX8hqA
[00:14] <spjt> or, 'p' prints the partition table, if it has a '*' under Boot it's bootalbe
[00:15] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, only thing else I would do is tail the firefox log while trying to view flash
[00:15] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: sudo fdisk -l]
[00:15] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: sudo fdisk -l
[00:16] <spjt> Did the last samba update break it? I get this error now: file /var/lib/samba/usershares/ owned by uid 0 is not a regular file
[00:16] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063470/
[00:16] <ubuntu-trial> L3top, http://pastebin.com/GvxzMTG0
[00:16] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, Also there is one more thing you can try is delete everything in your tmp directory  rm -rf /tmp/*
[00:16] <spjt> I tried purging samba completely and reinstalling it but I get the same error.
[00:18] <spjt> I guess the next step is to just completely reinstall the OS, but it just seems wrong
[00:18] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, uid 0 is root did you chown your directroy
[00:18] <Ghosthunter007> AssociateX, that looks normal
[00:18] <gaelfx> I've activated fglrx through Jockey, but I couldn't get fglrx-updates to work through Jockey, any ideas why the one would work but not the other?
[00:18] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: It's supposed to be owned by root, and have the sticky bit set.
[00:19] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: was that all it spit out? Or is that all you are showing because it concerns sda1? However this reveals the problems. Did you try and do a manual partition during the installer?
[00:19] <ubuntu-trial> L3top, that was everything it spit out
[00:19] <ubuntu-trial> L3top, Also, we did not try to partition while installing
[00:20] <AssociateX> Ghosthunter007, still crashes or just doesn't run on every page
[00:20] <ubuntu-trial> L3top, used the default basic install option
[00:20] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, L3top, there is no * under BOOT column from fdisk o/p, denoting that the partition is not bootable?
[00:21] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: Yes, if you type 'a' and then the partition number, you can type 'p' again and it should show it's bootable.
[00:21] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: You need to type 'w' to save though, or else nothing will happen
[00:21] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, did you reset the smbpasswd users?
[00:21] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, ok we will try and report back
[00:21] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: yes.
[00:22] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: I didn't change anything other than running update. In my experience that's usually been the last thing I do before reinstalling Ubuntu
[00:22] <stuxhelp> how do i change my hostname in ubuntu, i know i can change /etc/hosts, and then run hostname, but is there more steps required?
[00:23] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: that is very weird. It went very wrong. It will create, first of all, an extended/logical partition and a swap partition with the default options set... none of that happened. It looks very much like the manual partition option was chosen, and done very incorrectly. Not saying that what you are saying is untrue... but... I have never seen that before, having done a gazillion installs.
[00:23] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, http://pastebin.com/s4yZuFDB
[00:23] <spjt> stuxhelp: /etc/hostname
[00:23] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, can you IM me your smb.conf you can remove the usernames please I just need the raw file
[00:23] <stuxhelp> ah ithought the hostname command would change /etc/hostname
[00:24] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: I just reinstalled samba completely, it's the default config file.
[00:24] <stuxhelp> im just worried there is some other hardcoded setting
[00:24] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[00:24] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, I've sent the o/p of the WRITE - which spat out an error. Hoep that is fine?
[00:25] <spjt> ubuntu-trial: It might be, but if it wasn't marked bootable that's definitely a problem.
[00:25] <baz870> Hello
[00:25] <L3top> ubuntu-trial: I would check this HD for physical errors.
[00:25] <ubuntu-trial> spjt, okay. Now it's marked as bootable
[00:25] <ubuntu-trial> spjt,  let me do a reboot
[00:25] <baz870> Is anyone running ubuntu 12.04 and using an android 4.04 phone?
[00:26] <ubuntu-trial> spkt and check if I'm okay. Otherwise I'll be bakc on her efor help ;)
[00:27] <gecjr> is there a way to remotely control a monitor in ubuntu? I ssh to my server; and have a monitor connected. no keyboard would like to display stuff on monitor remotely
[00:28] <baz870> HI. I have an issue connecting my android phone to my ubuntu pc via usb. Can anyone assist?
[00:29] <Ghosthunter007> gecjr, are you talking about split monitors or remote into a box and control the desktop?
[00:29] <Ghosthunter007> like KVM
[00:30] <baz870> IS there anyone out there that may be able to assist me?
[00:31] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, I recommend you installing SWAT
[00:32] <gecjr> Ghosthunter007 primary monitor (only one connected).
[00:32] <gecjr> I would like to ssh in; and be able to open windows or apps and display to monitor
[00:33] <Cottus> baz870, disconnect the phone , in a terminal run "sudo tailf /var/log/syslog" , connect the phone and show the difference between disconnected and connected, http://paste.ubuntu.com
[00:33] <gecjr> the monitor just shows the login screen; I guess I need to kill the login daemon and some how attach something to the console to be able to create a desktop, etc.
[00:33] <spjt> gecjr: x11vnc
[00:33] <gecjr> i understand how to do vnc, etc. but this creates a different desktop doesn't use the monitor
[00:33] <Ghosthunter007> gecjr, OK install FreeNX http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
[00:33] <L3top> !anyone | baz870
[00:33] <Ghosthunter007> VNC is a security risk
[00:34] <urgodfather> is anyone familiar with getting a synaptics touchpad with gestures to function properly?
[00:34] <Ghosthunter007> gecjr, with FreeNX you are using port 22 to encrypt your session to your desktop and its all free for personal use
[00:34] <gecjr> is xvnc the same as x11vnc ? I've tried that and it is not using monitor; just creates a x11 desktop. that works but still don't have control of monitor.
[00:34] <baz870> Cottus. This is what the terminal sent back "Jun 28 10:34:17 BlackBetty mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 12 was an MTP device"
[00:35] <spjt> gecjr: x11vnc controls the primary X display
[00:35] <gecjr> not kvm; no keyboard on ubuntu machine. i'm just trying to use attached monitor without a keyboard.
[00:35] <Ghosthunter007> gecjr, just gave you the way to do it
[00:35] <urgodfather> gecjr have you heard of synergy?
[00:35] <spjt> gecjr: e.g. if I use x11vnc, I can see what I'm doing on the monitor of the linux machine.
[00:36] <Cottus> baz870, i can't help you, keep that to the next who answers
[00:36] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: At the moment I'm backing up my home directories so I can just reinstall.
[00:37] <Ghosthunter007> Ok peoples please really stop port scanning or I will enable my counter measures and your be dropped from your ISP
[00:37] <L3top> baz870: You need to ask an actual question in order to get an answer.
[00:37] <gecjr> spjt thanks going to install it and see how it works
[00:37] <urgodfather> gecjr, synergy is kinda like a software based solution sort of like a kvm switch
[00:38] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, I am thinking that permission grants got messed up but swat can help config smb wit out touching the smb.conf file with an editor
[00:38] <Flynn> Hi fellas, ubuntu noob here.How do I stop having PORT issues while using private torrent trackers?
[00:38] <wookienz> open them?
[00:38] <urgodfather> gecjr the only problem you might run into is booting without a keyboard attached
[00:39] <spjt> gecjr: nohup x11vnc -display :0 -http -usepw -loop 2>&1 > /dev/null
[00:39] <baz870> My android phone will not appear on my ubuntu pc. I have recently upgraded the phone software to android 4.04. What do I need to my PC to get the phone to appear?
[00:39] <spjt> that's the command line I use to start it
[00:39] <Charles11> I have just installed ubuntu on my dell optiplex, it is dual booted with windows, on first start up, it tells me it will run in low graphics mode, what ever I try the computer crashes and it tells me something about dameon crash reports and waits for me to press the power button, any ideas?
[00:39] <gecjr> urgodfather: thanks. i've used synergy before; i am really just trying to find a way to run stuff remotely but if x11vnc doesn't work I will see if I can get synergy installed and use it to switch between monitors.
[00:39] <Flynn> wookienz,
[00:39] <gecjr> spjt: thanks for the example. I'll make a note of it.
[00:39] <urgodfather> is anyone familiar with getting a synaptics touchpad with gestures to function properly?
[00:39] <L3top> baz870: How are you trying to connect to it? USB? Wifi? Bluetooth?
[00:39] <Flynn> how am i suppose to find out which port it uses
[00:40] <blackshirt> whay is your graphic card?
[00:40] <baz870> USB
[00:40] <Ghosthunter007> gecjr, freenx will do everything you want
[00:40] <blackshirt> Flynn, netata
[00:40] <Flynn> and do i have to open each individual port thats in the thousands since it doesnt use port eight
[00:40] <Flynn> eighty
[00:40] <blackshirt> Netstat
[00:40] <wookienz> Flynn, should jst be one
[00:40] <wookienz> what tracker?
[00:40] <Ghosthunter007> Flynn, run this command netstat -tapnl
[00:40] <Flynn> animebytes
[00:40] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: So will x11vnc, just much more easily :)
[00:41] <wookienz> ok dont know that one. what client you using?
[00:41] <Ghosthunter007> spjt,  yeah but not secure
[00:41] <Charles11>  I have just installed ubuntu on my dell optiplex, it is dual booted with windows, on first start up, it tells me it will run in low graphics mode, what ever I try the computer crashes and it tells me something about dameon crash reports and waits for me to press the power button, any ideas? Intel Graphics card, the live cd runs perfectly.
[00:41] <urgodfather> gecjr, i dont know if it actually will switch between the monitors, instead i believe it extends the mouse/keyboard to the other pcs as if you were to have two monitors on one desktop
[00:41] <Ghosthunter007> before I install anything I install with paranoia in mind I mean security
[00:41] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: It's secure enough, if he's running it on the local network. I run it through a SSH tunnel
[00:42] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: I'm more paranoid about installing things that aren't in apt.
[00:43] <Charles11> What is run in low graphics mode?
[00:43] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: There's also the issue that at work the computers are locked down, so I can only run VNC on account of it having the Java applet client.
[00:44] <urgodfather> ok.. does anyone know if a fix made for debian would work on ubuntu?
[00:44] <Ghosthunter007> Freenx is been around for years and compression rate is the best on the market for performance
[00:44] <wookienz> Flynn, most torrent clients only need one port to talk to the tracker on. just open that one port on router/firewall.
[00:44] <urgodfather> http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad
[00:44] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, VNC is huge security risk
[00:44] <Flynn> okay thanks wookienz
[00:44] <spjt> urgodfather: probably not, I don't think Ubuntu even has X configuration files
[00:45] <Ghosthunter007> even thru ssh because before the tunnel is made the ports are still open to clear text
[00:45] <spjt> urgodfather: have you looked at synclient
[00:45] <urgodfather> spjt, like ghosthunter007 vnc= HUGE SECURITY RISK it literally acts as a front door to the pc
[00:45] <urgodfather> spjt: thanks for the respons alos
[00:45] <urgodfather> also*
[00:46] <spjt> urgodfather: I just block it so it only connects to localhost anyway
[00:46] <Ghosthunter007> FreeNX will allow you to control access with certificate based systems no cert installed no access
[00:46] <trism> Ghosthunter007: not with --localhost in x11vnc
[00:46] <milkm9n> anyone available to lend a hand with a multiple monitors issue? this one's been a real doozy for me
[00:47] <urgodfather> spjt: im looking at synclient now, what exactly is it and how do i use it?
[00:47] <Etruscan> #ubuntu
[00:47] <Cottus> milkm9n, speak
[00:47] <Ghosthunter007> trism, if you setup a x11vnc port it out to internet it iwll tkae less than 30 minutes before the box is owned
[00:48] <trism> Ghosthunter007: that's why you use --localhost
[00:48] <urgodfather> spjt: nevermind, i see its cli like tpconfig
[00:48] <Ghosthunter007> arg typos
[00:48] <milkm9n> cottus, actually, it's more of a 'closing the lid' issue
[00:48] <Cottus> ah
[00:48] <milkm9n> I've got my laptop connected to a monitor via hdmi
[00:48] <Ghosthunter007> anyone on your network can run driftnet or arp poison and tcpdump to grab your session password
[00:48] <milkm9n> I want to be able to shut the lid without the computer suspending
[00:48] <milkm9n> but it goes into sleep everytime I shut the lid
[00:48] <Cottus> settings/power management
[00:49] <milkm9n> yes, i have it set to 'do nothing'
[00:49] <milkm9n> it still sleeps lol
[00:49] <ClientAlive> how do I install software from a dvd disc from the command line? (ubuntu server 12.04 - cli only system)
[00:49] <matti_> Hi, is there any software that search my installation and track down in consistency or fault in OS, the reason is that my laptop gets very slow and another day the laptop works like normal ...
[00:49] <Cottus> i have no ideo
[00:49] <Cottus> i have no idea
[00:49] <urgodfather> spjt: to prevent what Ghosthunter007 just pointed out... mac address filtering
[00:49] <milkm9n> yeah same here...
[00:49] <Cottus> :D
[00:49] <milkm9n> you wouldn't happen to know if there's a way to completely disable that device?
[00:50] <urgodfather> spjt: but even then... someone could easily clone a mac address of a connected host using various tools/distros out there
[00:50] <ClientAlive> anybody?
[00:51] <Ghosthunter007> Just stating I looked at all this and I found that FreeNX is the safest solution because from the get go the package has encryption and hardened the handshake relies on a certificate being installed on the connecting machine if there is no cert connection is logged reported and dropped RSA uniformed connection method
[00:51] <spjt> Maybe I'll try to get FreeNX working
[00:51] <urgodfather> ClientAlive: i have no clue but you could always install a desktop manager like gnome shell
[00:52] <Ghosthunter007> its super fast to install and you can configure it many different ways
[00:52] <ClientAlive> I have awesome window manager...  (?)
[00:52] <Ghosthunter007> primary directory is /usr/etc/NX
[00:52] <ClientAlive> yes, I may end up being forced to do that. My hope was to go light weight on my host system (virtualization going on here).
[00:52] <urgodfather> ClientAlive: correct me if im wrong but isnt a desktop manager and a window manager different?
[00:53] <ClientAlive> I'm pretty sure they are different, yes
[00:53] <urgodfather> ClientAlive: consider lxde or kde
[00:53] <ClientAlive> I have xdm...  (?)
[00:53] <urgodfather> i recommend lxde
[00:53] <Ghosthunter007> ok brb getting dinner
[00:53] <kayve> I'm having a crazy disaster I think is related to R
[00:53] <ClientAlive> but you should be able to launch it from the command line somehow - something like mount the iso, then (?)
[00:54] <Cottus> milkm9n, no, sorry, a hint might be acpi
[00:54] <kayve> My Gnome won't let me use window.  I get stuck in the terminal.  I can't switch between windows.
[00:54] <kayve> I was supposed to intall my Gnome on a VMBox but I am too lame  {:(
[00:54] <urgodfather> ClientAlive: im sure you can... i just dont know how. im only offering an alternative solution
[00:54] <kayve> I have an assignment due Saturday this is a disaster
[00:55] <milkm9n> acpi = ?
[00:55] <kayve> oh no the mouse is starting to act weird already
[00:55] <Cottus> it sends events when sth like that happens, lid closed, opend
[00:55] <urgodfather> kayve, im pretter sure your problem will be unsupported since you switched to gnome instead of using the provided desktop environment
[00:55] <kayve> I only have XChat open
[00:55] <Cottus> !acpi
[00:55] <Ghosthunter007> kayve, alt+ctrl+F1 F2 F3 ect... will switch windows
[00:55] <ClientAlive> right on urgodfather - much appreciated.  It's all about autohide I despise autohide.  I need to SEE the stuff I want to SEE but everybody thing it's a "mess" or something.   Oh well.. I guess I can figure it out.
[01:00] <kayve> I have classic Gnome now with impaired useless workspaces I need to turn it off
[01:00] <pappijo> Hi! I submitted a message in ubuntuappshowdown reddit and it didn't appear in the list. Is this normal?
[01:00] <Cottus> milkm9n, someone power manager is suspending it
[01:03] <influx_> herp
[01:03] <influx_> derp
[01:03] <renode> every once in a while when waking my computer from sleep (12.04 LTS) it wont give me the password login dialog box, so i have to hard reboot...is there anyway to fix this, or to stop it from happening?
[01:04] <DWSR> I'm having a problem with the auto NIC config in Pangolin.
[01:04] <DWSR> It won't get a DHCP address
[01:04] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, Wireless or wired
[01:06] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: Well, I somehow fixed that Samba problem.
[01:06] <baz870> does anyone know if there is a driver to install to make android 4.04 phones visibile on ubuntu 12.04 PC?
[01:06] <baz870> When connecting via USB
[01:06] <jasonlfunk> How do I disable syslog from dumping to the console terminal?
[01:07] <spjt> jasonlfunk: It shouldn't. Is syslogd running?
[01:07] <Ghosthunter007> spjt, awesome
[01:07] <kayve> oh this is just awful.  I have five choices 1) Gnome 2) Gnome Classic 3) Gnome Classic (no Effects) 4) Ubuntu or 5) Ubuntu 2D.  Which is the proper choice?  I can't control windows properly.  They refuse to resize this is just awful
[01:07] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: For some reason, the old smb.conf doesn't work with the update, it works now that I copied my changed settings over.
[01:08] <jasonlfunk> spjt: Yes, it's running. Perhaps it isn't syslog. When some of my programs that are started with upstart print to stderr (I'm assuming) they are outputted on my console.
[01:08] <kayve> I can't work with ctl-alt-F# that is just completely untenable. I need to cut and paste. I need to run R.  I need to paste from R
[01:08] <Ghosthunter007> yeah some smb.conf file are versioned
[01:08] <L3top> kayve: if you would like to rail on and complain about everything, #ubuntu-offtopic is a more appropriate channel. If you have an actual support question, that would go here.
[01:08] <spjt> My next question is, how do I keep samba from updating :)
[01:08] <kayve> I need help.  Which of the 5 choices is the appropriate choice?
[01:09] <Ghosthunter007> samba should never update on its own
[01:09] <kayve> which of the above 5 choices is "supported?"
[01:09] <spjt> nm i can google that
[01:09] <L3top> !poll | kayve
[01:09] <Ghosthunter007> in the package manager you can select which packages are installed
[01:09] <kayve> I need to know what is the "supported" choice that I was advised of
[01:09] <L3top> All of them are supported.
[01:09] <spjt> package manager? I use apt-get :)
[01:10] <L3top> If I understand your characterization of them that is kayve, as gnome classic is the only one that actually matches a DM
[01:11] <Ghosthunter007> ah ok so its blind you can install tripwire to prevent your smb.conf file from being changed if an update does happen
[01:11] <L3top> spjt:  you could pin the version.
[01:11] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: I found out how to do it with dpkg
[01:12] <Ghosthunter007> SWAT will help with that too
[01:12] <spjt> The only thing worse for security than VNC is having a bunch of web configuration tools :)
[01:12] <Ghosthunter007> lol
[01:12] <ibodi> acer 5750g ubuntu12.04 broadcom b43.. I can see all neighbours wifi, but just not my home wifi, does my wireless working or not ?
[01:13] <spjt> If you can see any wifi, it's working
[01:13] <L3top> ibodi: Sounds like your home network doesnt have a visible SSID.
[01:13] <ibodi> ah.. how to reset ?
[01:13] <ibodi> reset modem i guess ?
[01:14] <spjt> I had an old Macbook that could connect to my neighbor's wifi but couldn't see mine
[01:14] <spjt> ibodi: if it doesn't show SSID (which is often a good idea) you just type it in manuall
[01:14] <L3top> ibodi: it would depend on the AP. Chances are you can open it and use the web admin to set one... but each is specific, and not really within the scope of Ubuntu support.
[01:14] <spjt> I'm not sure that not broadcasting SSID helps security anyway,
[01:14] <Ghosthunter007> who is from huston
[01:14] <bazhang> !ot | Ghosthunter007
[01:16] <ibodi> I remember set some value with asus wireless modem. however i forget the parameta name.
[01:16] <Ghosthunter007> lol bot decides to chime in now...
[01:16] <bazhang> Ghosthunter007, stop with the offtopic chatter please
[01:16] <ibodi> L3top: win7 can connect.
[01:17] <bazhang> ibodi, do you know the name of the AP (access point aka wiki hotspot)
[01:17] <skulltip> wolf et has no sound with 12.04?
[01:17] <L3top> ibodi: if you are scanning, and finding networks, then it is your specific WAP.
[01:17] <bazhang> ibodi, in network manager choose find hidden
[01:18] <Ghosthunter007> bazhang, Then I suggest little script kitties stop trying to scanning peoples systems here I have a ton of IPs in my firewall log from this room,  so it is on topic
[01:18] <bazhang> Ghosthunter007, no it's not. thats enough
[01:19] <ibodi> bazhang:  i m dummy. where to open network manager
[01:19] <spjt> Ghosthunter007: It's probably your IRC server.
[01:19] <evilytwisted> IM having slight issues with wine that i canot find help with winehq hopefully one of you could help?  when trying to run starcraft2 it kept saying i dont have gecko or mono installed... so i did what normally anyone would do.... upgrade wine... Now.... i get this..http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lag3gp.jpg  could i get help when your not busy?
[01:19] <Ghosthunter007> na servers dont SIP SSH and SQL scan
[01:19] <bazhang> ibodi, do you see the nm-applet in the indicator applet
[01:19] <ibodi> bazhang: or you mean: view network information , when click on the wireless icon? on top right corner
[01:22] <Ghosthunter007> using Ubuntu iptables with logging then the package portscanner to log attempted intrusions then using the snort engine to reverse trace make Ubuntu a very secure system which reports
[01:24] <spjt> We use csf at work, it's pretty nice. I haven't tried to set it up at home
[01:24] <evilytwisted> any of you know anything about wine?
[01:25] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, what are you trying to do with it
[01:25] <Ghosthunter007> install wow
[01:25] <evilytwisted> run starcraft 2
[01:25] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, ah super easy
[01:25] <evilytwisted> like i stated before.. it kept saying i didnt have mono or gecko installed
[01:25] <evilytwisted> so i updated it... which i got this http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lag3gp.jpg
[01:26] <OerHeks> evilytwisted, check the wineHQ database
[01:26] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, install winetricks
[01:26] <evilytwisted> i have it installed
[01:26] <evilytwisted> and sc2 worked fine before i upgraded wine
[01:26] <Ghosthunter007> are you downloading or supplying the ISO
[01:27] <evilytwisted> sc2 is already installed due to previous wine instalation
[01:27] <Ghosthunter007> ah your pointer file may of changed
[01:28] <evilytwisted> dont tell me i have to reinstall sc2..
[01:28] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, there is an off chance if you browse to the sc2.exe and double click it wine will start it
[01:28] <evilytwisted> alreawdy tried
[01:28] <evilytwisted> still gave the same error
[01:28] <Ghosthunter007> what error
[01:28] <evilytwisted> look at this http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lag3gp.jpg
[01:29] <Ghosthunter007> looks like the wine.cfg was over ridden and it is a reinstall
[01:29] <evilytwisted> pretty much. yes
[01:30] <Ghosthunter007> just back up your configs before upgrades
[01:30] <evilytwisted> a bit to late for that...
[01:30] <Ghosthunter007> yeah but now your aware for next time
[01:31] <evilytwisted> Mmhmmm
[01:31] <evilytwisted> anything i can do or do i have to install sc2 again?
[01:31] <FTPGuy> Does anyone here know anything about vsftpd?
[01:31] <Ghosthunter007> I would just reinstall it it quick
[01:32] <Jagst3r15> is there a great risk when using backports?
[01:32] <FTPGuy> I've been trying to work out how to add a new user to VSFTPD and have each user access to a different directory on the system, any ideas? (tried google)
[01:33] <Ghosthunter007> brb
[01:38] <developer> test
[01:38] <L3top> succeeded developer.
[01:40] <developer> Is any body here? It is the first time I use irc.
[01:40] <JoseeAntonioR> developer: Yes, how can we help you?
[01:41] <evilytwisted> Ghosthunter007:   http://pastebin.com/DgikqfgD  when trying to install d3
[01:42] <developer> Everytime when I shutdown my computer, it stuck. But if I stop the wireless using sudo ifconfig wlan0 down. everything will be ok.
[01:44] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, it appears you have a conflict with versions I recommend removing wine and all its files apt-get --purge wine
[01:44] <evilytwisted> ty
[01:44] <Jagst3r15> what is safer PPAs or backports
[01:44] <Ghosthunter007> then reboot and reinstall the current version you had working
[01:44] <GeekAdmin> hi.  I have a computer here where I had to uninstall Ubuntu (had a dual windows setup), and need to get Windows only back on that drive. (Ubuntu on another hard drive.). I used gparted from a live disc to remove the Ubuntu partitons..but that also erased grub and now I can't boot into Windows. Its a netbook so don't have a CD drive. Whats the proper tool to use (that can be put on a USB) to fix the MBR?
[01:45] <evilytwisted> Ghosthunter007:  E: Invalid operation wine
[01:45] <GeekAdmin> Would subergrub let me repair the MBR?
[01:46] <OerHeks> Jagst3r15, backports, PPA's are not supported here.
[01:46] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Wired, sorry.
[01:47] <Ghosthunter007> evilytwisted, sorry sudo apt-get –purge remove wine
[01:47] <silverghost> hello is i necessary to use a firewall in ubuntu
[01:47] <GeekAdmin> silverghost:  no its not
[01:47] <dalek_> Help... having some difficulty getting oracle's java 7 to install according to their instructions... "dalek@dalek-laptop:/usr/bin$ % tar zxvf ~/Downloads/jre-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz" is giving me "bash: fg: %: no such job" What am I doing wrong?
[01:47] <evilytwisted> Ghosthunter007:  E: Invalid operation –-purge

[01:48] <silverghost> hey i use transmission every time to download porn movies music and pictures am i secure or this is unsafe
[01:48] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, did you install network manager ?
[01:48] <W8KWA> GeekAdmin, http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/ should help you
[01:49] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: This is a fresh Pangolin install.
[01:49] <DWSR> I haven't, and can't currently, do anything
[01:49] <W8KWA> silverghost, do you use the block list?
[01:49] <GeekAdmin> W8KWA:  thanks and that will work for a USB (no cd/dvd drive)
[01:49] <silverghost> nope
[01:49] <th0r> W8KWA, please don't feed the trolls
[01:49] <evilytwisted> DWSR:  did this remove wine ? http://pastebin.com/RzJ9kmQs
[01:49] <silverghost> can u explain sir
[01:49] <gaelfx> my NFS is acting really slow sometimes, is there anything I can do to fix it?
[01:49] <GeekAdmin> W8KWA:  oh nevermind AWSEOME GUIDE . You rock! THanks so much
[01:49] <DWSR> evilytwisted: Yes.
[01:49] <W8KWA> GeekAdmin, should its an easy fix, check the site out, your looking for MS support in a linux channel ;)
[01:50] <GeekAdmin> W8KWA:  yea sorry bout that. But ubuntu is going back on another drive. :-p
[01:50] <OerHeks> silverghost, highly unsafe. does you mom know?
[01:50] <gaelfx> slow as in 30+ seconds to get file lists (the file lists are not that long on any of the folders)
[01:50] <silverghost> nope she doe not use this pc
[01:50] <dalek_> has anyone in here ever installed java 7 on ubuntu?
[01:50] <evilytwisted> so it would be safe to assume that i can do sudo apt-get install wine.. and itll work?
[01:50] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: ifconfig shows me an ipv6 addr for the interface.
[01:50] <W8KWA> silverghost, google it, theres a lot of sites that give you step by step on setting up blocklist in transmission
[01:51] <Hayden> Some people don't like PM's but you have to PM here or people get confused... :)
[01:51] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: but I don't get internet connectivity at all.
[01:51] <DWSR> Hayden: Highlights actually work just as well.
[01:51] <Hayden> see
[01:51] <evilytwisted> i only pm people after i ask
[01:51] <silverghost> i am new frnds say me use a firewall
[01:51] <Hayden> how do you do that DWSR?
[01:51] <evilytwisted> doing this Hayden
[01:51] <DWSR> Hayden: By mentioning someone's nick in the line, just like I've done to you.
[01:51] <silverghost> i heard a frnd said ubuntu is good for porn :P
[01:51] <W8KWA> silverghost, yes always run a firewall, but if your going to torrent use a block list even if its legit
[01:51] <evilytwisted> ..... troll alert!
[01:51] <Hayden> I know that's PMing
[01:51] <evilytwisted> :P
[01:51] <Loshki> I wouldn't use an internet connection without *something* between me and the network: in my case, a NAT router and some iptables rules, just in case
[01:52] <dalek_> has anyone in here ever installed oracle java 7 on ubuntu?
[01:52] <Hayden> who where?
[01:52] <skumara> how to join the ubuntu offtopic channel and how to login using my registered username? sorry long time havent been to chatrooms. tq
[01:52] <evilytwisted> no its highlightng
[01:52] <br5andon> I have dalek_
[01:52] <Hayden> ;)
[01:52] <silverghost> what is this firestarter
[01:52] <DWSR> Hayden: Highlighting isn't the same as PMing.
[01:52] <Loshki> !register | skumara
[01:52] <evilytwisted> skumara:  do /msg nickserve register blah blah blah blah blah blah
[01:52] <Jagst3r15> click #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:52] <Hayden> ok DWSR.
[01:53] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, try this echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[01:53] <dalek_> br5andon, could you help me... I am having a problem installing with the instructions from oracle.
[01:53] <DWSR> I'm having issues with getting my inet to work on a fresh Pangolin install. ifconfig shows an ipv6 address for the interface, but I have no connectivity.
[01:53] <evilytwisted> DWSR:  would it be safe to assume doing sudo apt-get install wine  itll work getting windows excutables working?
[01:53] <Ghosthunter007> then try to see if you can browse
[01:53] <DWSR> evilytwisted: SHould, yes.
[01:53] <dalek_> Help... having some difficulty getting oracle's java 7 to install according to their instructions... "dalek@dalek-laptop:/usr/bin$ % tar zxvf ~/Downloads/jre-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz" is giving me "bash: fg: %: no such job" What am I doing wrong?
[01:53] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: It seems like I'm not even getting a DHCP address.
[01:54] <silverghost> ok i am googling this firewall thing
[01:54] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Even though I DEFINITELY have DHCP on this network. I'm talking to you from a client that's on the same network.]
[01:54] <Ghosthunter007> cat /etc/network/interfaces
[01:54] <Ghosthunter007> how many Ips are you allowing on your dhcp server or router
[01:54] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Like 200?
[01:54] <dalek_> does anyone here know how to install oracle java 7 in ubuntu?
[01:55] <OerHeks> !java
[01:55] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: btw, "auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback"
[01:55] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[01:55] <DWSR> \n being newline
[01:55]  * W8KWA doesnt install java sorry
[01:55] <Ghosthunter007> you need to edit it to have the following
[01:55] <mneptok> DWSR: is your problem just with nameserver lookups?
[01:55] <DWSR> mneptok: Nope. Not getting DHCP at all, I don't think.
[01:56] <Ghosthunter007> auto eth0
[01:56] <Ghosthunter007> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:56] <th0r> DWSR, do an ifconfig and see if you have an ip assigned to the interface
[01:56] <mneptok> DWSR: "ifconfig" will tell you if you have a lease
[01:56] <DWSR> mneptok: I don't. ;)
[01:56] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig -a
[01:56] <Carlos> Hello...I am a Ubuntu newbie.  I am having problems with my package update.  Can anyone help me?
[01:57] <mneptok> DWSR: wired or wireless?
[01:57] <DWSR> mneptok: GigE, wired.
[01:57] <Ghosthunter007> wired but his interfaces doesnt have eth0 info in it
[01:57] <gaelfx> how can I restart NFS service?
[01:57] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, add this in below the lo
[01:57] <Ghosthunter007> auto eth0
[01:57] <Ghosthunter007> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:57] <mneptok> DWSR: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[01:58] <dalek_> thank you OerHeks
[01:58] <Ghosthunter007> then issue /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:58] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Command is deprecated?
[01:58] <DWSR> also
[01:59] <mneptok> Carlos: people can help you if you describe a problem ;)
[01:59] <DWSR> Whoever wrote the error message for that sucks at grammar
[01:59] <DWSR> "blah restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some devices."
[01:59] <Ghosthunter007> did you edit your /etc/network/interfaces
[01:59] <DWSR> yes.
[01:59] <Ghosthunter007> and add
[01:59] <L3top> It is depreciated... but works for most things.
[01:59] <Ghosthunter007> auto eth0
[01:59] <Ghosthunter007> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:59] <Ghosthunter007> then :wq!
[01:59] <Carlos> Ok...It wont let me do a manager update.  it says "Errors were encountered while processing:

[01:59] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: And I'm using nano not vi
[02:00] <L3top> Carlos: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[02:00] <Ghosthunter007> ah
[02:00] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[02:00] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: But don't worry, I know what you meant.
[02:00] <mneptok> Carlos: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:00] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Still waiting for this restart. Should it take this long?
[02:00] <Ghosthunter007> no
[02:00] <Ghosthunter007> control c it
[02:00] <Ghosthunter007> stop it
[02:01] <Ghosthunter007> then issue reboot
[02:01] <Ghosthunter007> there is a pid lock happening
[02:01] <bovis> I'd like to edit files for a video game that are stored in .ar package format. I have a program that can open the file, but nothing that I can repackage it with. I know there is the ar program, but I'm unable to add folders to it (is this even possible?). Can anyone suggest an alternative or a way to package an .ar that contains folders? I know .deb files are similar, but in this case adding .tar.gz files to an .a file with ar will likely not work. If this isn't
[02:02] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Wow, that's still hanging after Ctrl+C.
[02:02] <DWSR> Sec.
[02:02] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: You ok with dealing with this strictly via CLI?
[02:02] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Don't have a viable mouse atm
[02:02] <Ghosthunter007> yes
[02:03] <Ghosthunter007> hard reboot it
[02:03] <DWSR> What's the shortcut for switching terms?
[02:03] <Ghosthunter007> it will recover
[02:03] <DWSR> Ctrl+Shift?
[02:03] <Ghosthunter007> alt+cltr+f2
[02:03] <DWSR> been a while for me since I used linux last.,
[02:04] <Ghosthunter007> you can do a ps -ef | grep networking
[02:04] <mneptok> Ghosthunter007: ctk-alt-f# switches TTYs. the actual function key number is not so important.
[02:04] <Ghosthunter007> this will give pid ID then run kill pidnumber
[02:04] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Still waiting for reboot. BIOS boot order was fscked.
[02:04] <Carlos> mneptok:  Thank you.  That appears to have fixed it :) :)
[02:04] <mneptok> Carlos: de nada
[02:05] <Pengfei_Yu>  Everytime when I shutdown my computer, it get stuck. But if I stop the wireless using sudo ifconfig wlan0 down. everything will be ok. What is wrong?
[02:06] <DWSR> huh
[02:06] <DWSR> None of the TTYs are displaying anything
[02:06] <DWSR> And Ubuntu is STILL Waiting for network configuration.
[02:07] <DWSR> THERE we go
[02:07] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: mkay, I'm back
[02:07] <Ghosthunter007> ok did it give address
[02:07] <Stark> Any easy way to check if my machine supports 64-bit?
[02:07] <DWSR> Stark: How old is it?
[02:07] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: No.
[02:07] <Stark> Currently running Ubuntu
[02:08] <DWSR> Stark: uname -a
[02:08] <Stark> DWSR: Few years. Processor is a Core 2 Duo.
[02:08] <DWSR> Stark: Then it does.
[02:08] <julianwa> Hi there, I've got a HP Envy6 1016TX which has SSD+SATA disks with Intel rapid storage technology. I could see all disk partitions in liveCD and manage them by GParted. But while install ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop, there's no local disks can be found. Any ideas?
[02:08] <DWSR> C2Ds support x64
[02:08] <Stark> Hm. Any easy way to switch from a 32-bit installation to 64-bit?
[02:08] <DWSR> Stark: Yes.  Damn.
[02:09] <DWSR> Stark: Yes.\
[02:09] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, check your network manager from command line
[02:09] <Stark> Guess I'll stick with 32-bit, then.
[02:09] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: ifup reports eth1 is already configured.
[02:10] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Still can't ping my router though
[02:10] <Ghosthunter007> cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[02:10] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: What am I looking for?
[02:10] <DWSR> oh. huh.
[02:10] <Ghosthunter007> in the networkmanager conf you want to see if
[02:11] <therecanonlybe1> anyone know if I can use gparted to create an additional partition to run another OS on??
[02:11] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: My interface's HWaddr is the same as the no-auto-default in NetworkManager.conf
[02:11] <DWSR> therecanonlybe1: Absolutely.
[02:11] <therecanonlybe1> DSWR: how?
[02:11] <DWSR> therecanonlybe1: With the power of Google.
[02:11] <Ghosthunter007> [ifupdown] managed=true is set to false
[02:11] <DWSR> therecanonlybe1: I don't know offhand, sorry.
[02:11] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: It is.
[02:11] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[02:11] <therecanonlybe1> k thanks
[02:11] <DWSR> change it?
[02:12] <gecjr> spjt: got it working, appreciate the help (everybody)
[02:12] <Ghosthunter007> is it true ?
[02:12] <DWSR> No. IT's false.
[02:12] <Ghosthunter007> ok change it to true
[02:12] <Ghosthunter007> then just do a reboot
[02:12] <DWSR> Rebooting.
[02:13] <DWSR> What the hell is causing these problems, anyway?
[02:13] <Ghosthunter007> its a profile misconfig
[02:13] <Ghosthunter007> it happens
[02:13] <DWSR> well I installed Ubuntu via a VM.
[02:13] <DWSR> So I guess so
[02:14] <GeekAdmin> While runnning Ubuntu live from a USB..is it possible to save files to that USB?
[02:15] <sandyd> GeekAdmin, Did you use unetbootin?
[02:15] <GeekAdmin> sandyd:  no Pen Drive Linux USB installer
[02:15] <GeekAdmin> sandyd:  should I use unetbootin instead?
[02:15] <sandyd> Unetbootin has an option to choose the number of mb for persistence
[02:15] <sandyd> use unetbootin
[02:15] <DWSR> LiLi is good as well.
[02:15] <GeekAdmin> sandyd:  okay thanks..
[02:15] <DWSR> And recommended by Ubuntu.com
[02:15] <GeekAdmin> Lili?
[02:16] <DWSR> Linux Live Creator
[02:16] <Ghosthunter007> ah yes lili is powerful
[02:16] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Still no joy.
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> hmm
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> that nic should of came up
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> lets see if you can ip it
[02:17] <DWSR> ?
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> is this eth1 or th0
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> eth0
[02:17] <DWSR> eth1
[02:17] <DWSR> I don't have an eth0.
[02:17] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[02:18] <DWSR> I have been adjusting your instructions, btw.
[02:18] <Ghosthunter007> oh in your interfaces file did you put eth0 or eth1
[02:18] <Ghosthunter007> ah ok
[02:18] <DWSR> eth1
[02:18] <DWSR> :)
[02:18] <archwiccan> question is there something magical you have to do in ubuntu to format a flash drive LOL i tried sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 error drive is mounted, so i unmount it and try again too my surprise an error saying that this device apparently doesn't exist
[02:18] <Ghosthunter007> issue this command
[02:18] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig eth1 yourIPhere netmask YournetMaskhere
[02:19] <DWSR> archwiccan: You're trying to format a partition.
[02:19] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: What should I put for yourIPhere?
[02:19] <Ghosthunter007> put in a valid IP
[02:19] <Ghosthunter007> example
[02:19] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: Got it
[02:19] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:19] <DWSR> Command returned no output
[02:19] <skumara> archwiccan,  why don't u use disk utility?
[02:20] <DWSR> Should I cycle it via ifupdown?
[02:20] <Ghosthunter007> this a vm or physical
[02:20] <DWSR> This is a phyiscla.
[02:20] <DWSR> physical*
[02:20] <Ghosthunter007> ok
[02:20] <DWSR> The box I'm running it on is a physical box, and it's a physical interface.
[02:20] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig -a
[02:20] <Ghosthunter007> is eth1 up
[02:20] <DWSR> yes.
[02:20] <Ghosthunter007> ok any ip in it
[02:21] <DWSR> no.
[02:21] <DWSR> I also have an entry for eth1:avahi
[02:21] <DWSR> Which wasn't there before.
[02:21] <Ghosthunter007> you have one network card in this box
[02:22] <DWSR> yep
[02:22] <Ghosthunter007> the default should be eth0
[02:22] <Ghosthunter007> issue this command
[02:22] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig eth1 down
[02:22] <DWSR> done
[02:22] <Ghosthunter007> now go to the interfaces file and change the eth1 to eth0
[02:23] <DWSR> /etc/network/interfaces?
[02:23] <Ghosthunter007> yes
[02:23] <Ghosthunter007> so it should say
[02:23] <Ghosthunter007> auto eth0
[02:23] <Ghosthunter007> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:23] <DWSR> auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> what is the \n
[02:24] <DWSR> newline.
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> ah ok
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> now issue this command
[02:24] <DWSR> Instead of putting out 4 lines, I just type 1 line and denote where the lines end.
[02:24] <archwiccan> wow gparted work but no matter what i did on command line couldn't get it to work, has linux hit the time now where gui tools are better than command line :P
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> ifconfig eth0 up
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> then ifconfig -a
[02:24] <Ghosthunter007> it is up
[02:25] <DWSR> eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device.
[02:25] <DWSR> mneptok: Any thoughts?
[02:25] <Ghosthunter007> ok question
[02:25] <Ghosthunter007> did this system ever have 2 nic
[02:25] <DWSR> Nope.
[02:25] <Ghosthunter007> ok one more spot to look
[02:26] <L3top> DWSR: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  pastebin please.
[02:26] <DWSR> L3top: No access to the internet from this box.
[02:26] <DWSR> Or to the network
[02:26] <L3top> okey doke...
[02:26] <Ghosthunter007> L3top thanks that is the file I was looking for
[02:27] <DWSR> I can type it out.
[02:27] <L3top> How many entries do you have in there ?
[02:27] <DWSR> 2.
[02:27] <L3top> and you have only one nic?
[02:27] <DWSR> yes.
[02:27] <DWSR> Should I delete the entry that regards eth1?
[02:27] <Ghosthunter007> yes
[02:27] <DWSR> I noticed that it matched the entry in NetworkManager.conf that said no-auto-default.
[02:28] <L3top> DWSR: sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ~/net-rule.bu
[02:28] <L3top> reboot. A new rule will be created
[02:28] <DWSR> mkay, rebooting.
[02:28] <L3top> check the number of entries in the new file.
[02:29] <Ghosthunter007> L3top, thanks I was almost there with him just ruling out the other possible issues
[02:29] <L3top> np :)
[02:30] <DWSR> mkay, at Ubuntu splash, just waiting
[02:30] <yanick_> hi, since today, every time I load a web page with flash content (or play video on youtube, etc.) the whole computer freezes. Mouse, keyboard, everything locks up and the computer goes wild and all I can do is a hard reset
[02:30] <yanick_> anybody experiencing this?
[02:32] <jpmorgan> i have the latest kernel installed:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063569/ but when i boot into ubuntu 12.04 the grub menu only gives me the option for 3..3.0-23.36. i tried sudo update-grub. that didn't work. how to i update the grub to get the option to boot into the latest kernel? here is the grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063575/
[02:33] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, how it go
[02:33] <klync> can someone explain how I can restore proper unix select-to-copy and click-to-paste into my X terminals under "precise"?
[02:33] <DWSR> L3top: Ghosthunter007, 1 entry.
[02:33] <L3top> Ok... and I presume it is eth0
[02:33] <DWSR> Yes.
[02:33] <DWSR> Still no connection though
[02:33] <L3top> You will now want to redo your /etc/network/interfaces file
[02:34] <L3top> Is it to recieve DHCP or static?
[02:34] <DWSR> DHCP
[02:34] <Ghosthunter007> L3top, I had him enter in auto eth0 , iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:34] <DWSR> auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp
[02:34] <DWSR> It's already in there.
[02:34] <DWSR> And not working
[02:34] <DWSR> ifconfig reports eth0 is up.
[02:35] <Ghosthunter007> see if you can ip the card with ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:35] <Ghosthunter007> put your Ip in place of what i used
[02:35] <L3top> DWSR: http://pastebin.com/1cVgzB0s
[02:35] <DWSR> L3top: Exactly what it already looks like.
[02:36] <L3top> DWSR: /etc/init.d/networking restart       (yes it is depreciated, but will work for what you are doing)
[02:36] <DWSR> got it
[02:36] <DWSR> Router wasn'
[02:36] <klync> DWSR: any hints about hw problems in dmesg or what dhclient's problem is in /var/log/syslog?
[02:36] <DWSR> wasn't assigning properly.
[02:36] <DWSR> No idea why.
[02:37] <L3top> :)
[02:37] <Ghosthunter007> ok so your up now
[02:37] <DWSR> yep. Thanks everyone.
[02:37] <Ghosthunter007> awesome
[02:37] <DWSR> Now
[02:37] <DWSR> For my next thing
[02:37] <DWSR> I need ZFS, VNC, NFS, SSH, Dynamic DNS client
[02:38] <DWSR> SSH is easy.
[02:38] <DWSR> What should I use for VNC that's just no fuss?
[02:38] <Ghosthunter007> DWSR, may i make a recommendation
[02:38] <DWSR> ??
[02:38] <Ghosthunter007> instead of VNC use Freenx by nomachine its performance is better and more secure and easy to install
[02:39] <DWSR> Is there a FreeNX client for Windows
[02:39] <Ghosthunter007> yes
[02:40] <Ghosthunter007> I IMed you the link
[02:40] <Ghosthunter007> it has the install instructions
[02:40] <DWSR> 404.
[02:40] <Ghosthunter007> you 64 bit
[02:40] <DWSR> yes.
[02:40] <m4xx> anyone care to help me getting SDL working? keeps returning "No available audio device"
[02:41] <DWSR> Ghosthunter007: What's the IP of nomachine.com?
[02:41] <DWSR> I'm getting 404s.
[02:41] <DWSR> Err, sorry, I'm getting no NS resolution.
[02:42] <Ghosthunter007> ah in your resolv.conf
[02:42] <debugnet> Ghosthunter007: <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:42] <DWSR> Not using that computer.
[02:42] <DWSR> still getting the same thing
[02:42] <Ghosthunter007> ah ok
[02:43] <Ghosthunter007> you can google nomachine to get it too
[02:44] <yanick_> http://askubuntu.com/questions/156950/flash-completely-freeze-computer
[02:45] <DWSR> Is FUSE enabled in Windows?
[02:45] <JustAPerson> Why does `cat` and several other terminal application detect the sequence CTRL+SHIFT+<Left/Right Arrow> but not with CTRL+SHIFT+<Up/Down arrows>?
[02:45] <HelloWorld321> if your ubuntu box is solely serving files to windows users, is Samba more practical than NFS?
[02:46] <DWSR> if your clients are all Windows 7, no.
[02:46] <DWSR> If not, yes.
[02:46] <HelloWorld321> they are all Win7
[02:46] <DWSR> install the NFS client in Programs and Features.
[02:46] <DWSR> And then you can natively use NFS in Windows.
[02:46] <DWSR> NFS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CIFS
[02:47] <HelloWorld321> then that's what I'll do.  I'm using google-fu on the win7 client now.
[02:49] <TwoTimes> how can i change the them of ubuntu? can some1 help me plz?
[02:49] <HelloWorld321> the theme* ?
[02:50] <HelloWorld321> the simple way is to go to system settings (the cogwheel icon) and and select "Appearance"
[02:50] <jpmorgan> i have the latest kernel installed:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063569/ but when i boot into ubuntu 12.04 the grub menu only gives me the option for 3..3.0-23.36. i tried sudo update-grub. that didn't work. how to i update the grub to get the option to boot into the latest kernel? here is the grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063575/
[02:50] <HelloWorld321> not a lot of themes come with it though, so you'll need to download some.
[02:51] <lucia> salut
[02:51] <HelloWorld321> there are also completely different desktop UIs to download.  What's the current desktop?  Is it lightdm?
[02:51] <HelloWorld321> salut lucia !fr
[02:51] <HelloWorld321> !fr
[02:52] <renode> every once in a while when waking my computer from sleep (12.04 LTS) it wont give me the password login dialog box, so i have to hard reboot...is there anyway to fix this, or to stop it from happening?
[02:52] <lucia> tu sais comment faire pour jouer des jeux comme dungeon keeper?
[02:52] <debugnet> jpmorgan: you have to add another menuentry section to that list about the ones there and include the file names for the latest kernel
[02:52] <sandyd> !fr | lucia
[02:52] <Miguelito> Hey I am trying to get my usb headset up and going  - it seem to recognize when I plugged it in but i can hear sound - still coming from my speakers
[02:53] <sandyd> renode: I have the same problem. Haven't found a solution as of right now
[02:53] <renode> well glad to hear im not the only one :D
[02:53] <sandyd> Miguelito, Have you checked system settings -> sound?
[02:53] <sandyd> you need to change the outputs to your headphones
[02:54] <jpmorgan> debugnet, i don't know how to do this. is there a tutorial that you can direct me to that you find especially clear for a beginner?
[02:54] <Bitgod> any of you have experience w/ eGalaxTouch in 12.04???
[02:54] <Miguelito> Sandyd, yea i tried every combination and nutting
[02:54] <true_techie> dj_ryan, hadoop ever give you this error? java.net.UnknownHostException:
[02:56] <debugnet> look in your /boot folder and see if there is any later versions of the kernel starting with vmlinuz. you will want to see if there is anything in there later than 3.2.0-25 as you posted in the paste
[02:57] <true_techie> whose using hadoop? what is this? java.net.UnknownHostException:
[02:58] <jpmorgan> debugnet, just checked. i have both /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic-pae & /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic-pae. the grub menu only shows -23 not -25.
[02:58] <sandyd> Miguelito,  post output of aplay -l
[02:58] <sandyd> Miguelito, Check alsamixer to see if the output is muted as well.
[02:59] <dj_ryan> true_techie: sure, but that isnt enough context
[02:59] <sandyd> you have to press F6 in alsamixer to switch to your sound output btw
[02:59] <debugnet> jpmorgan: then that means that you are using the latest one on your machine.
[02:59] <dj_ryan> dig deeper, use those troubleshooting skills, you'll be victorious
[02:59] <Miguelito> sandyd, i have phonon
[02:59] <true_techie> pfft. what skills
[02:59] <jpmorgan> but if i do uname -r. this comes up: 3.2.0-23-generic-pae
[03:00] <sandyd> It doesn't matter. Phonon -> pulseaudio -> alsa

[03:00] <true_techie> dj_ryan, the net is saying i should check the mapping in my etc/hosts file
[03:00] <true_techie> what should the mapping be?
[03:00] <sandyd> Miguelito, It doesn't detect your usb headphones
[03:00] <sandyd> alsa I mean
[03:01] <true_techie> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost is the first thing in there
[03:01] <Miguelito> it popped up when i plugged it in
[03:01] <sandyd> wait. what popped up?
[03:01] <lefty_> So umm once I download ISO burn onto disc and then boot from disc 1st right?
[03:01] <sj> hello lovely people
[03:01] <dj_ryan> true_techie: well all hosts forward and backwards should resolve
[03:01] <dj_ryan> so 'hostname' should be 'pingable'
[03:01] <dj_ryan> edit your /etc/hosts if that isnt the case
[03:01] <sj> how can i upload music into facebook
[03:02] <jpmorgan> debugnet, 3.2.0-23-generic-pae. is this the most recent kernel? or is 3.2.0.-25 the most recent one? i'm getting all confused now
[03:02] <dj_ryan> normally on ec2 this IS the case, so if it isnt anymore.. you did somethign weird/wrong
[03:02] <Miguelito> sandyd, when i plugged them in and i just unplugged them and it says removing Capture USB, Output USB
[03:02] <m4xx> no one? :(
[03:02] <sandyd> Miguelito, did you try pavucontrol?
[03:03] <debugnet> jpmorgan: ...weird. 25 should be the latest one and ...wait a minute, have you reboot since you ran the update-grub command earlier?
[03:03] <jpmorgan> debugnet, yes like 10 times
[03:03] <sj> can some one help me please
[03:03] <Miguelito> sandyd, dont think i have that installed
[03:03] <debugnet> jpmorgan: btw, was that paste before or after you ran that update as well?
[03:03] <sandyd> Miguelito, Try it and see if it works with your usb headset
[03:03] <jpmorgan> after
[03:04] <sandyd> Miguelito, sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[03:04] <Miguelito> sandyd, install it?
[03:04] <sandyd> ^^
[03:04] <overdose> .efnet.org
[03:04] <true_techie> dj_ryan, i do this and ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C becomes pingable <IP_ADDRESS> localhost ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C
[03:05] <true_techie> but hadoop adds ec2-ip-in-99-99-99-9C/127.0.01
[03:05] <SadlyMistaken> Hello everybody, I need to see in my searchs in nautilus a bar with the different folders where the files searched are. How can i got this?
[03:05] <arthas> XD
[03:05] <true_techie> adds <IP_ADDRESS> to the end
[03:05] <hungray1> hi guys
[03:05] <hungray1> I am trying to install ubuntu on my asus 64bit laptop
[03:05] <dj_ryan> that is not the best solution but it might be ok for you
[03:05] <hungray1> when I pop in the installation disk
[03:05] <dj_ryan> it wont work if you want to add nodes to your cluster
[03:05] <hungray1> the screen gloes black
[03:06] <hungray1> with a blinking bar as though its on standby and the computer just sits there
[03:06] <hungray1> what should I do?
[03:06] <sandyd> hungray1, have you tried nomodeset?
[03:06] <sandyd> what graphics does your laptop have?
[03:07] <debugnet> jpmorgan: does it prompt you which kernel every time you reboot? or just boots right up?
[03:07] <hungray1> sandyd: How do I check?
[03:07] <hungray1> sandyd: also no, how do i try that?
[03:07] <sandyd> hungray1, I think we should dea
[03:07] <sandyd> l
[03:07] <sandyd> with the boot problem first
[03:07] <sandyd> You see the 'other options'
[03:07] <jpmorgan> debugnet, it prompts bc its dual boot. and it only gives me the option for the earlier kernel.
[03:07] <sandyd> thing in the boot menu when the cd boots up?
[03:07] <Miguelito> sandyd, i found the usb headset it tested but i cant find where to select it to use
[03:07] <hungray1> sandyd: no I am on the laptop right now. I will have to reboot to the cd but continue please
[03:08] <true_techie> dj_ryan, it doesnt work because hadoop adds the localhost ip to the end
[03:08] <sandyd> hungray1, Choose nomodeset, press enter
[03:08] <sandyd> boot
[03:08] <hungray1> sandyd: thanks
[03:08] <hungray1> sandyd: i will be back with results
[03:08] <jpmorgan> debugnet, i can reboot and paste a picture if you wanna see how this is
[03:08] <debugnet> jpmorgan: ...just sec
[03:08] <SadlyMistaken> uhm.. could someone help me out about the searchs in nautilus please?
[03:08] <sandyd> Miguelito, go to output devices
[03:09] <sandyd> beside each device is a "fallback" button. Make your normal sound card the fallback, and your headset non-fallback
[03:09] <Miguelito> sandyd, just when i thought i had it
[03:09] <dj_ryan> true_techie: sorry im not exactly following. back to the basics, does 'ping `hostname -s`' work or not?
[03:10] <SadlyMistaken> ok, i got it alone
[03:10] <debugnet> jpmorgan: delete lines 124 and 148. i think they are causing the menu to be jacked...then you will have to reboot again but hopefully the full menu will show.
[03:10] <true_techie> dj_ryan doesnt work
[03:10] <SadlyMistaken> good night everybody
[03:11] <true_techie> ping: option requires an argument -- 's'
[03:11] <dj_ryan> true_techie: ok well specify that argument
[03:11] <dj_ryan> true_techie: a true techie should know how to ping a host :-)
[03:11] <Miguelito> sandyd, under  phonon i have it set and do a left/right test and it goes to my headset  - I then try to play a youtube video and it goes to my speaker :/
[03:11] <true_techie> it doesnt know what the -s is that you added
[03:11] <sandyd> That is because flash does not use phonon
[03:11] <sj> how to upload music to fb
[03:11] <true_techie> i can ping localhost fine
[03:12] <dj_ryan> true_techie: that isnt my question
[03:12] <sandyd> flash uses pulseaudio, which I just got you to configure
[03:12] <dj_ryan> you have to be able to ping the *hostname* of the ndoe
[03:12] <jpmorgan> debugnet, will do.
[03:12] <dj_ryan> eg my work desktop is called 'wk1'
[03:12] <sandyd> go to pavucontrol, and to output devices
[03:12] <dj_ryan> i can ping wk1, because wk1 resolves to my ip, via /etc/hosts
[03:12] <sandyd> switch the fallback to the intel HDA, and set your headset as non-fallback
[03:12] <true_techie> root@hostname <--- i cant ping that hostname
[03:12] <dj_ryan> right well you gotta fix that :-)
[03:13] <dj_ryan> eg: by editing /etc/hosts to map that hostname -> your ip
[03:13] <dj_ryan> eg what ever ifconfig eth0 shows
[03:13] <dj_ryan> ok i have to go
[03:13] <dj_ryan> good luck then
[03:13] <true_techie> ok
[03:14] <sj> how to upload music to fb
[03:14] <sandyd> !offtopic | sj
[03:15] <Miguelito> sandyd, hmmmm i am changing and applying the right output device but it is not saving the change - when i go back into output devices again it reverts back to the old device
[03:16] <sandyd> Miguelito, while playing flash, try going to the playback tab, switching it to your headphones
[03:16] <sandyd> I advise you do not wear them at that time.
[03:17] <Snowie> afternoon all. Have an issue where my webcam light blinks sometimes when Im in the browser. Doesnt seem to matter what page im on, but it's the only time i notice it. I have Google Chrome installed on Ubuntu 12.04. any way to track down what's going on? Think it's worth a virus scan (against chrome really, i dont think it's a linux specific issue) Advice, tips appreciated. Pretty odd to think someone may be watching you... cree
[03:17] <Snowie> py
[03:17] <sandyd> You could also go to Configuration -> Internal Audio - off.
[03:17] <JustAPerson> Re-asking: Why do `cat` and several other terminal applications detect the sequence CTRL+SHIFT+<Left/Right Arrow> but not with CTRL+SHIFT+<Up/Down arrows>?
[03:18] <Miguelito> sandyd, nope
[03:18] <Miguelito> sandyd, didnt work
[03:18] <tieinv> snowie put tap over webcam lens
[03:19] <Snowie> tieinv, lol. might as well just unplug it. has a microphone too
[03:19] <hungray1> So
[03:19] <hungray1> Using that boot option did not work
[03:19] <sandyd> hmm. Miguelito, you might have to wait for someone more knowledgable to come along - my area is not in audio.
[03:19] <hungray1> sandyd: it did not work
[03:19] <sandyd> hungray1, Can you find your graphics card from the windows device manager?
[03:19] <hungray1> sandyd: hold plz
[03:19] <tieinv> snowie use two pieces of tap :)
[03:20] <Miguelito> sandyd, thats ok - thanks so much for trying
[03:20] <hungray1> sandyd: intel HD graphics 3000
[03:20] <Snowie> sandyd, i have solved some issues with sound before mate. What's happening? I only just arrived
[03:20] <urgodfather> is anyone familiar with using alien to convert rpm to deb
[03:21] <sandyd> hungray1, hey, we have the same graphics
[03:21] <hungray1> w00t
[03:21] <hungray1> sandyd: so why is mine missbehaving? I have had this issue with ubuntu before on this machine...only on this machine though...every other time i have installed it somewhere it worked fine
[03:22] <sandyd> hungray1, can you try pressing control + alt + F1/2/3/4/5/6 ? when you encounter the boot screen?
[03:22] <Snowie> Miguelito,  i have solved some issues with sound before mate. What's happening? I only just arrived
[03:22] <hungray1> sandyd: you mean when it blinks the flashing command line?
[03:22] <hungray1> sandyd: after i have pressed to install?
[03:22] <debugnet> Snowie: check your flash settings by right clicking any active content on a webpage like a video and click settings. then you should see a page/tab where you can turn on/off your camera
[03:22] <Snowie> debugnet, excellent. sec
[03:22] <Miguelito> Snowie, just having a hard time getting the output device for audio to stay on my usb headset
[03:23] <sandyd> hungray1, wait wait wait, what cd are you using
[03:23] <hungray1> sandyd: the newest one from the website? I have the image burnt correctly...
[03:23] <Snowie> Miguelito, so it works, but keeps changing itself back?
[03:24] <hungray1> sandyd: the cd is memorex cd-r
[03:24] <sandyd> hungray1, have you tried the "try ubuntu" button instead?
[03:24] <hungray1> sandyd: yes, same results.
[03:24] <Miguelito> Snowie, yea i select it, test it, apply it but when i play it comes out my speaker. I go back into sound and it reverts back to the original output device
[03:24] <sandyd> hungray1, laptop model?
[03:25] <sandyd> looks like some kind of incompatible hw
[03:25] <Jagst3r15> i keep getting this weird popping sound on my dell computer
[03:25] <Jagst3r15> it didnt happen on windows
[03:25] <hungray1> sandyd: how do i find the model
[03:25] <sandyd> your laptop model is probably on its underside
[03:25] <Jagst3r15> but on ubuntu i get this annoying popping sound coming from my subwoofer it sounds like
[03:25] <sandyd> i have mine taped to the wristwrest
[03:25] <sandyd> *rest
[03:26] <hungray1> sandyd: U46E
[03:26] <Snowie> Miguelito, ah, yeah i had the same issue with a mic for my webcam usb. now, what did i do to fix it. sec
[03:27] <hungray1> d
[03:27] <sandyd> hungray1, looks like you are not the only one
[03:27] <hungray1> sandyd: damn.
[03:27] <sandyd> seems like some sort of laptop screen detection issue
[03:28] <sandyd> xorg sometimes detects it, someties it doesn't
[03:28] <Miguelito> Snowie, i believe i had this problem when i first tried a different flavor of linux - grrrrr hate when i forget
[03:28] <hungray1> sandyd: should I try an older version of ubuntu or what?
[03:28] <sandyd> therefore, black blinking screen
[03:28] <hungray1> sandyd: i should have though xorg was to blame
[03:28] <sandyd> 11.10 has been affected
[03:28] <sandyd> don't know about the others.
[03:28] <sandyd> it works if you plug a secondary monitor in apparently
[03:29] <jpmorgan> debugnet, it didn't work easing those line. got the same grub menu on boot. and then i got some sort of rfkill warning before 12.04 booted. i put the grub back to the way it was before
[03:29] <Snowie> Miguelito, me too. first thing to check is that alsa is up to date. also, install the alsa-mixer package. let me see if there was an option there
[03:29] <hungray1> sandyd: interesting.
[03:29] <debugnet> Snowie: btw, for even more controls, goto http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html
[03:29] <hungray1> sandyd: i will try that, then
[03:29] <sandyd> hungray1, wait
[03:29] <hungray1> sandyd: alrighty
[03:29] <jpmorgan> debugnet, easing* erasing line* lines
[03:29] <sandyd> hungray1, Try setting noapic
[03:30] <hungray1> sandyd: after i press enter and check it which option do i pick? install or boot live?
[03:30] <sandyd> hungray1, it is in the same place as nomodeset i believe
[03:30] <sandyd> boot live
[03:30] <hungray1> sandyd: I will be back with the results, thanks
[03:30] <HelloWorld321> whats the difference between a uid and a gid?
[03:30] <debugnet> jpmorgan: k. rfkill is just a service in the startup. uname -r still says 23?
[03:31] <jpmorgan> debugnet, yes still 23
[03:31] <sandyd> HelloWorld321, one is userid one is groupid
[03:31] <Snowie> debugnet, on it right now. thanks. relieved to realise it's just flash letting me know that it is enabled, and not some creepy old guy lookin at me
[03:32] <urgodfather> is there a way to use a 32 bit driver on a 64 bit system?
[03:32] <Miguelito> Snowie, will the gnome version be ok - nothing else showing up in updater or do you have a specific package name
[03:32] <Snowie> Miguelito, sorry, alsamixer, no dash
[03:32] <debugnet> Snowie: at this point, we don't know that...jk
[03:33] <Snowie> Miguelito, i cant see anything here that will help though
[03:33] <sandyd> hungray1, just for notes, there are also some who say disabling vt-d will help.
[03:33] <sandyd> in your bios
[03:33] <Miguelito> Snowie, i am using phonon
[03:34] <debugnet> jpmorgan: sounds like something is wrong with the version 25 kernel file...does it look unusual with the file size or permissions between the two?
[03:34] <Miguelito> Snowie, it lets me pick it but never actually sets it
[03:34] <jpmorgan> debugnet, how do i check for that?
[03:35] <debugnet> jpmorgan: familiar with the command line? bash?
[03:35] <Snowie> Miguelito, havnt heard of that sorry. I honeslty can't remember what the fix was. What program are you trying to get the audio from?
[03:35] <jpmorgan> debugnet, yes but not commands for that
[03:35] <sandyd> Snowie, flash
[03:35] <debugnet> jpmorgan: at the terminal cd to /boot then ls -la
[03:35] <Miguelito> Snowie, im using youtube to test with
[03:36] <sandyd> That was what I was confused about, b/c flash goes through pulse
[03:36] <Jagst3r15> do realtek drivers work with ubuntu?
[03:36] <sandyd> Jagst3r15, you mean linux realtek drivers or windows?
[03:36] <debugnet> Jagst3r15: it is a pain but you will probably have to go to the vendor's website to get the drivers.
[03:37] <Jagst3r15> linux....im trying to figure out this annoying popping sound on my dell :c
[03:37] <jpmorgan> debugnet, just got a list of files in the boot directory but no files ize or permissions
[03:37] <sandyd> jpmorgan: try ls -l /boot
[03:37] <sandyd> pastebinit
[03:37] <debugnet> jpmorgan: ...-l is flag to tell it long list
[03:37] <Snowie> Miguelito, hmm. can you try closing the browser and testing it with another app? just play a track in rythmbox or something. at least to rule out it's the app changing it back, however unlikey that seems
[03:39] <lefty_> I need help.!
[03:39] <sandyd> !help | lefty_
[03:39] <lefty_> Cause I have no idea. What to do.
[03:39] <hungray32> sandyd: so im installing ubuntu now.... :D
[03:39] <jpmorgan> it looks like the problem is the permissions of 25. see last line. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063633/. how do i fix this?
[03:39] <sandyd> hungray32, woot!
[03:39] <KRomeleoN> what is the best debian based dstro without unity? i like ubuntu but i also like gnome 3.4
[03:39] <Jagst3r15> sandyd would it be http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 for LINUX driver for kernel 3.x and 2.6.x and 2.4.x
[03:39] <hungray32> sandyd: thanks so much...ive been stuck with win7 running ubuntu in a vm forever now
[03:40] <lefty_> I think I just installed ubuntu through the cd
[03:40] <sandyd> hungray32, you will have to set the boot options in grub after the install
[03:40] <jthan> KRomeleoN: Why not just disable unity or use Debian 6?
[03:40] <hungray32> sandyd: how do I do that?
[03:40] <lefty_> it ejected the disc then it said to remove it and hit enter i did just that. and it booted into windows. now i don't know how i would boot into ubuntu
[03:40] <sandyd> hungray32, When you boot your computer, press esc when the ubuntu boot screen comes up
[03:40] <n1ckn4me09876543> I want to burn 735Mb ubuntu 12 but I only have 700 Mb cd, is it possible to burn 735 in two 700Mb disc so it would be disc 1 disc 2 ?
[03:41] <sandyd> Press 'e' and add noapic to the end of the 'linux' line.
[03:41] <hungray32> sandyd: ok then what?
[03:41] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: What image are you trying to use?
[03:41] <hungray32> sandyd: ah. just type noapic?
[03:41] <sandyd> yes
[03:41] <sandyd> make sure there is a space
[03:41] <hungray32> sandyd: at the end of which boot option?
[03:41] <sandyd> I remember when I forgot once... and screwed up my boots
[03:41] <sandyd> at the end of the line that starts with linux
[03:41] <n1ckn4me09876543> jthan: ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso   735.4 Mb
[03:41] <lefty_> sandyd: any ideas?
[03:42] <sandyd> after you successfully boot, do this
[03:42] <hungray32> sandyd: I will remember that, thanks
[03:42] <sandyd> nano /etc/default/grub
[03:42] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: Mine is showing up much smaller when I click the download link
[03:42] <sandyd> go to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_default line, and add 'noapic' (without quotes) to the end, with a space, before the double quotes
[03:42] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=lts
[03:42] <hungray32> sandyd: i can do that now you mean?
[03:42] <sandyd> and there should be a sudo in front of the nano
[03:42] <sandyd> hungray32, you are still in the live install cd
[03:43] <hungray32> sandyd: yes
[03:43] <urgodfather> will someone running 32 bit convert a driver for me?
[03:43] <sandyd> that will only chage the live install settings, not the installation settings
[03:43] <sandyd> wait. I will go type this all up on pastebin
[03:43] <hungray32> sandyd: thanks so much haha. can you pm it to me so I can write it down? I am going to get paper now
[03:44] <sacarlson> urgodfather: be more specific what is the driver for why do you need THIS driver?
[03:44] <n1ckn4me09876543> jthan: yea i tested that link its 701 Mb, i think it has something to do with the other hdd i got the image save on
[03:45] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: Not sure what to tell you other than to burn it on a DVD or use a USB stick, then.
[03:46] <urgodfather> sacarlson: its a HP Synaptics touchpad driver for SuSe 32-bit... it just so happens to be the best solution i have found to get my touchpad functioning properly as there is not a fix
[03:46] <sandyd> hungray32, pastebin.com/D4Vf5vgw
[03:46] <hungray32> sandyd: thanks
[03:46] <urgodfather> sacarlson: i have the ia32-libs installed aready
[03:46] <hungray32> sandyd: you really did save me...I had to have ubuntu installed for a class I am taking haha
[03:46] <sandyd> hungray32, you can check it on the livecd, but it will not apply to your install
[03:47] <sandyd> hungray32, your welcome :)
[03:47] <sandyd> we are all here to help after all :)
[03:47] <debugnet> jpmorgan: from that /boot directory with your terminal up type: sudo chmod 644 vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic-pae
[03:47] <urgodfather> sacarlson: i understand there will not be any support, that is fine. if i have to wipe and reload, then so be it.
[03:47] <sandyd> night all
[03:48] <lefty_> sandyd: nooooooooooooooooo. lol
[03:48] <jpmorgan> debugnet, did it. also whats the deal with the System.map?
[03:48] <lefty_> crap.
[03:48] <n1ckn4me09876543> jthan: ya i dont have any dvd rw lying around and my usb is acting up atm. lol. but thnx for the tips
[03:48] <debugnet> jpmorgan: it is a debugger's/programmer's thing, probably won't ever deal with that.
[03:49] <tensorpudding> is there something wrong with ubuntu wine? it doesn't seem to support audio output out of the box
[03:49] <sacarlson> urgodfather: looks like it might be supported in the older 10.04 and 10.10 ubuntu also a workaround not sure you read it http://linux.aldeby.org/post/Ubuntu-Linux-on-HP-Pavilion-Part-7-Synaptics-Touchpad.html
[03:49] <jpmorgan> debugnet, ah ok. im gonna restart now. ill let you know what happens.
[03:49] <debugnet> jpmorgan: good luck
[03:49] <jpmorgan> debugnet, thanks
[03:50] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: Yeah - sorry.  If you want I can try to download an image that's smaller than 700MB and then get it to you? It will take a little while but I can do it.
[03:50] <Jagst3r15> sandyd apparantly it is a power save issue
[03:50] <tensorpudding> maybe it's a problem with ia32-libs, actually
[03:51] <lefty_> Can anyone help me? Cause I am not sure on how I would boot into ubuntu.. the live disc install said take out disk then hit enter and i did and it booted into windows.
[03:51] <jthan> lefty_: You just got done installing?
[03:51] <lefty_> jthan: about 5 min. ago
[03:51] <jthan> lefty_: You have your hard drive partitioned to have two OSs installed?
[03:51] <n1ckn4me09876543> jthan: thank you but dont worry about it, ill just use a usb. but thnx
[03:52] <sacarlson> lefty_: is it an HP computer?
[03:52] <raze> hashishte: nice nick
[03:52] <lefty_> sacarlson: yeah
[03:52] <Laice> hey, was playing around with multimonitor earlier and since it's defaulted to unity 2d (even if i specifically select unity on login) while i'm using a single monitor, is there a way to force 3d?
[03:52] <lefty_> jthan: It said it installed it.
[03:53] <biko> is there a driver for rio s10 mp3 player?
[03:53] <lefty_> jthan: so i guess yes? it happened so fast.
[03:53] <sacarlson> lefty_: then you will probly need to install the grub-efi and setup efi in bios
[03:53] <jthan> sacarlson: HP uses an EFI now?
[03:53] <lefty_> sacarlson: Can you point me in the right direction?
[03:53] <jthan> lefty_: how old is said HP?
[03:53] <sacarlson> jthan: some newer ones do yes
[03:53] <jthan> lefty_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[03:54] <lefty_> jthan: Not that old. It's one of the new Beats computers
[03:54] <lefty_> jthan: and thanks.
[03:54] <jthan> lefty_: I've done it a few times - not entirely difficult if you follow the instructions carefully
[03:54] <Laice> number of times UEFI meant i screwed my windows install...............
[03:55] <Laice> reinstalled today though with no probs :)
[03:55] <BlackAngelPR> i hate UEFI LOL i was in need to restart windows one time as well
[03:55] <jthan> I don't know what's wrong with a nice BIOS :-p
[03:55] <Laice> the amount i tried to recover that boot partition godamnit......
[03:55] <lefty_> jthan: thanks.
[03:55] <raze> raze:
[03:57] <lefty_> jthan: So i have to be ubunto to do this?
[03:58] <jpmorgan> debugnet, you seem to be gone. i did sudo update-grub in other partition. and now i just booted into into the latest kernel. thank you so much for your help
[03:58] <ignoredthoughts> is there a simple way to remove a driver for a network battery and reinstall it in lubuntu?
[03:58] <lefty_> sacarlson: ?
[03:59] <sacarlson> lefty_: read the link above for details
[04:00] <ignoredthoughts> I'm getting the error that the Battery is Charging (0%) yet won't actually charge
[04:00] <jthan> lefty_: yes
[04:00] <ignoredthoughts> i had an issue where one of the connectors got bent on the netbook's battery but i thought i fixed it
[04:00] <ignoredthoughts> unfortunately it won't read, realizes that there is a battery there
[04:00] <ignoredthoughts> but it won't charge
[04:00] <sacarlson> ignoredthoughts: I think I've seen some bat charge calibration article,  seems they just fully dischanger then charge?
[04:00] <ignoredthoughts> and can't read info from it
[04:01] <ignoredthoughts> there's some info that a bat will brick if discharged too low
[04:01] <lefty_> ok so have to boot back into live cd brb
[04:01] <ignoredthoughts> i bought a replacement but i don't know when it will come and i'm hoping that I can find a way around it
[04:01] <ignoredthoughts> there was some nonsense about tapping on a fan near the charger or depleting the MB's bat
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> i've tried everything short of reinstalling the driver for the battery
[04:02] <jthan> lefty_: Real quick question
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> which makes sense because it doesn't recognize the batter for the most part
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> i've tried using aspi
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> acpi or whatever
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> i was forced to update via the command line as well
[04:02] <ignoredthoughts> will an upgrade/update reinstall drivers?

[04:17] <lefty_> jthan: Noooo.
[04:17] <jthan> Just making sure ;-)
[04:17] <lefty_> lol I need windows for all the video editing I do. lol
[04:18] <AssociateX> anyone else here having flash problems?
[04:18] <snigil> black ange lpr:qun  guo  ren   ?
[04:19] <AssociateX> I just did a fresh install of my distro and my flash is still not working.
[04:19] <lefty_> jthan: I keep getting disconnected for irccloud
[04:19] <lefty_> is there some issue with irc cloud and firefox on linux?
[04:20] <jthan> I've never used it. Couldn't tell you, truly.
[04:20] <jthan> though I doubt it's a "linux" issue
[04:20] <snigil> iceweasel
[04:20] <lefty_> jthan: I think it's firefox
[04:21] <lefty_> jthan: what command do i enter to get chrome on here i remember having it before.
[04:22] <AssociateX> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ show my flash "up to date", yet it doesn't work.

[04:23] <jthan> lefty_: I don't use Ubuntu myself, so I don't know what the package is called.
[04:24] <lefty_> jthan: what do you use?
[04:25] <omido> Hi ubuntu people . please help me with my issues. what is compiz and why its crashing too much for me
[04:26] <jthan> lefty_: Gentoo and OS X
[04:28] <lefty_> jthan: Man this isn't being easy
[04:29] <lefty_> lol i might just not do it but how would i get the space back that it used.
[04:29] <sunshinehappy> When I stop process in system monitor sometimes it says "Ending a process may destroy data, break the session or introduce a security risk. Only unresponsive processes should be ended.". What security risks could occur?
[04:29] <jthan> lefty_: You'd have to reformat the space using windows I'd assume. I'm not really a windows guy.
[04:29] <jthan> lefty_: where are you getting hung up?
[04:30] <lefty_> alright ill just google it on windows. anyways thanks for the help
[04:30] <jthan> Anytime.  I don't know the specs of your system or what you indtend to use Ubuntu for, but Virtualbox is always a great option.

[04:33] <jthan> n1ckn4me09876543: So did it let you burn it?
[04:34] <n1ckn4me09876543> im burning it now
[04:34] <jthan> Let me know how it turns out.
[04:34] <ClientAlive> does anyone know if the issues with vmware workstation 8 on ubuntu 12.04 have been resolved?
[04:34] <Pecker> AssociateX: whats the problem?
[04:34] <AssociateX> L3top, on a brand new install and flash still failed before I even updated anything.
[04:35] <AssociateX> Pecker, flash does not work for me. It shows up as installed but does not play.
[04:35] <L3top> AssociateX: <yanick_> hi, since today, every time I load a web page with flash content (or play video on youtube, etc.) the whole computer freezes. Mouse, keyboard, everything locks up and the computer goes wild and all I can do is a hard reset
[04:35] <L3top> I am going to upgrade my flash and see what it does.
[04:36] <AssociateX> L3top, which one do you have installed now?
[04:36] <L3top> 235
[04:36] <Pecker> AssociateX: did you enable it in firefox addons?
[04:36] <AssociateX> Pecker, yes
[04:36] <Pecker> is should already be enabled, but try anyways

[04:37] <aethero> Im running  the latest stable ubuntu and Wine off of the software center, I'm trying to run Skyrim and having massive performance issues. I've tried disabled glsl but then the game doesnt run. I've tried leaving it on and disabling pixelshader and skyrim will still not run then. Im using a radeon 5830 with 1gb of ram and the closed source drivers. i get maybe 10 fps if not less (With gfx all the way down). Anyone have any ideas?
[04:37] <AssociateX> L3top, let me know what happens
[04:38] <L3top> Gonna take a minute AssociateX. My connection is crap, and I am watching netflix... lol
[04:38] <jthan> aethero: Nothing available here yet (http://appdb.winehq.org/), so you're probably on your own.
[04:38] <jthan> aethero: in my experience, though, nvidia drivers do much better with wine for some reason.
[04:39] <aethero> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24749&iTestingId=67658
[04:40] <jthan> "The game does play incredibly slowly (set to "Low") on an older laptop and you will need to set your resolution (even with a default set) from the launcher before loading the game to get a proper resolution.
[04:40] <aethero> Im on a newer core i7 system.
[04:40] <aethero> I am able to set the resolution and all gfx settings properly
[04:41] <jthan> There are so many factors, you can see that people give it varied ratings from garbage to platinum.
[04:41] <aethero> ah
[04:41] <jthan> If anything, try to track someone down that has run it flawlessly and see what their trick was.
[04:42] <wrapids> Anyone have experience installing gitlab on Ubuntu?
[04:43] <wrapids> Or know where a what would be a more appropriate channel*?
[04:43] <n1ckn4me09876543> jthan: it burned 100% no error, well i'm going to go install it now, cya
[04:43] <AssociateX> I've spent all day trying to get flashplayer to work, anyone else notice flash not working today?
[04:43] <wrapids> AssociateX: Haven't had a problem.
[04:43] <AssociateX> wrapids, did you update today or yesterday? are you 64bit?
[04:44] <wrapids> AssociateX: Fresh install 12.04x64 just downloaded it from the repo about an hour ago
[04:44] <AssociateX> wrapids, that's what I thought, I'm on 32 bit.
[04:44] <gorgapor> I'm having a really tough time installing ubuntu on my asus zenbook. can anyone help me for a bit?
[04:45] <gorgapor> i can't seem to get it to install by usb
[04:45] <jthan> gorgapor: What seems to be the issue?
[04:45] <jthan> Does your zenbook support booting from USB?
[04:45] <gorgapor> it should, but it doesn't show up in the bios
[04:45] <ClientAlive> does anyone know the path to the dvd drive in ubuntu 12.04?
[04:45] <gorgapor> are there other options?
[04:46] <jthan> gorgapor: External CD drive? pxe boot of some sort?
[04:46] <ClientAlive> I think I found it
[04:46] <gorgapor> what is pxe?
[04:46] <jthan> gorgapor: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/478
[04:46] <gorgapor> cool, thanks.
[04:46] <jthan> Never tried it myself, just wanted to throw it out there.
[04:47] <gorgapor> also, the usb booting stick i made doesn't seem to work even on another windows machine
[04:47] <jthan> Well that could be an issue, perhaps.
[04:47] <gorgapor> it just says "no operating system found" or something.
[04:47] <gorgapor> i've spent like 6 hours on this
[04:48] <gorgapor> also, other suggestions for sources of help would be welcome
[04:48] <jthan> You are sure that either one of the computers support booting via USB?
[04:48] <gorgapor> yes, the other computer has a very obvious option for booting from usb
[04:48] <sacarlson> gorgapor: also what did you use to install the iso file onto the usb flash drive?
[04:48] <gorgapor> unetbootin
[04:48] <sacarlson> gorgapor: well that should work
[04:49] <gorgapor> yeah, and i made sure it was a master boot record partition
[04:49] <sacarlson> gorgapor: md5sum the iso file?
[04:49] <gorgapor> sure, i can check that real quick
[04:50] <gorgapor> yeah md5sum matches
[04:50] <gorgapor> would the alternate install cd give me any other options?
[04:50] <jthan> Not really. Not if you can't boot it :-p
[04:50] <sacarlson> gorgapor: I didn't know you needed to specify the mbr of the usb just the device
[04:51] <gorgapor> sacarlson: basically you have to format the usb stick to use mbr not guid
[04:51] <jthan> gorgapor: if you run fdisk on the USB device is the bootable flag set? Been there done that before.
[04:51] <gorgapor> jthan: i'll check, hold on
[04:52] <gorgapor> not sure how to use fdisk on a mac, it has different switches
[04:52] <gorgapor> i don't have access to a linux computer right now
[04:52] <jthan> gorgapor: "fdisk /Volumes/flashdrive"
[04:53] <gorgapor> $ fdisk /dev/rdisk2

[04:54] <chalcedony> do you support lubuntu here?
[04:55] <AssociateX> L3top, hows it going?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> chalcedony: Yes, but you might have better luck in #lubuntu.
[04:55] <gorgapor> than, type b where?
[04:55] <chalcedony> ok Jordan_U :)
[04:55] <chalcedony> thank you
[04:55] <jthan> gorgapor: are you not in fdisk? It just printed that and it was the end?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> chalcedony: You're welcome :)

[04:57] <jthan> pastebin the output of "help" ?
[04:58] <gorgapor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063701/
[04:58] <jthan> gorgapor: You want flag!
[04:59] <jthan> and you want to flag the only partition as bootable
[04:59] <gorgapor> cool
[04:59] <gorgapor> i think it worked, let me test and get back
[04:59] <jthan> Okay - i'll be here.
[04:59] <gorgapor> does an asterisk mean "bootable"?
[05:00] <L3top> Yes.
[05:01] <gorgapor> wee, okay, my control group computer detected the usb drive as bootable
[05:01] <gorgapor> now onto the effing asus bios
[05:02] <Lounge> exit
[05:02] <gorgapor> YAY, okay the eee pc trick worked
[05:02] <gorgapor> exit the bios settings, and hit escape just as it closes, which tricks the system into letting you into the boot device menu
[05:03] <gorgapor> which is normall disabled
[05:03] <jthan> gorgapor: So you're on your way!?
[05:03] <riki> Hi i cannot run livecd on imac

[05:30] <altan_> Hey, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu and need some help installing a driver for a network card... Could anybody here help me?
[05:30] <self> Every one is sleeping
[05:31] <altan_> Noticed haha
[05:31] <ratter> not every one
[05:31] <altan_> I recently took the leap and built my own pc and installed Ubuntu as the only OS.
[05:31] <altan_> It's a nice upgrade, much different from my old Mac.
[05:32] <Booqaneer> Cool, how do you like it so far?
[05:32] <altan_> It's very nice. I'm pretty familiar with terminal too because of a large history working with Macs.
[05:32] <zabomber1> altan_: welcome to a user friendly OS
[05:33] <altan_> I'm having some trouble trying install a driver for my network card though, I was wondering if anyone here could help
[05:33] <ratter> hellw
[05:33] <Booqaneer> I have a Mac too. I hardly use it though.
[05:33] <Booqaneer> I run 12.04 on a headless Thinkpad.
[05:35] <Altan> I guess I'll just come back tomorrow when more people are awake.
[05:37] <self> I think im going to fallow you. but this place has loads on answers. they have helped me though my entire setup
[05:37] <Altan> I've gotten everything done myself so far, and I'm proud of myself for it haha
[05:37] <iHarp> Running Hardy -- Where can I find the config file containing PPA? I hav a bad PPA that is causing my update manager to crash
[05:38] <Booqaneer> @Altan, what wireless card do you have?
[05:38] <zabomber1> !sources
[05:38] <Altan> Asus PCE-N15.
[05:38] <Booqaneer> Netbook?
[05:38] <Altan> No,
[05:39] <Altan> It's a desktop I built
[05:39] <Booqaneer> What happens when you do iwconfig?
[05:39] <Booqaneer> Can you paste the output?
[05:39] <Altan> It's a bit long
[05:40] <Booqaneer> Maybe just the part with your wireless card info?
[05:40] <Booqaneer> There might be some other garbage in there that's not helpful.
[05:41] <Altan> I'm using an unfamiliar irc client
[05:41] <Booqaneer> It's been a while since I've had to deal with wireless networking issues on Ubuntu. In the end I bought a different Intel wireless card after having to compile some drivers for my old wireless card that didn't work so well.
[05:41] <Altan> Could you open a private chat with me? I don't want to spam up the chat here.
[05:45] <Booqaneer> What IRC client do you guys use?
[05:45] <bkerensa> Altan: you can paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:45] <sunshinehappy> why is the ubuntu repo so slow? I  am only getting 10 kb/s
[05:46] <sunshinehappy> oh it's gone up a bit now though
[05:46] <shadowmilk11> Could I get some help with something?
[05:46] <sunshinehappy> with what?
[05:47] <shadowmilk11> Well, I am trying to burn an ISO from a CD using Brasero.
[05:48] <shadowmilk11> But, I am missing some packages, so I apt-get them, yet they don't show up.
[05:48] <sunshinehappy> You might be able to burn it more easily with a different program
[05:48] <shadowmilk11> I thought about that, but Brasero already came with synaptic.
[05:49] <plustax> question. I have win7 and ubuntu dual boot. I want to wipe the whole computer and put an 32 bit version of win7 on it instead of the 64 I have. Its giving me android sdk issues. I just put the windows disc in and im good right?
[05:50] <shadowmilk11> If you have formatted the disk, yes plustax.
[05:50] <SwedeMike> plustax: yes, just delete all partitions and re-create in the windows installer.
[05:50] <plustax> okay thank you!
[05:51] <wiherek> hi
[05:51] <shadowmilk11> Ok, are there any ISO creators that anyone recommends?
[05:52] <wiherek> I am getting this error: unity_support_test crashed with SIGSEGV in xcb_glx_query_server_string_string_length()
[05:52] <r00t__> Hey guys...is there any way I can configure ubuntu to kill all connections to the internet if my vpn disconnects?
[05:52] <shadowmilk11> When doing what exactly?
[05:52] <Booqaneer> @wiherek Doesn't 12.04 come with Brasero?
[05:52] <wiherek> after starting
[05:52] <bkerensa> wiherek: you will need to report a bug
[05:53] <wiherek> did that
[05:53] <wiherek> or maybe not yet actually
[05:53] <edwinkcw> shadowmilk11: Brasero?
[05:53] <bkerensa> wiherek: What release are you running?
[05:53] <wiherek> (just used the autotool
[05:53] <shadowmilk11> It does, and I am actually running BackTrack, but I still have Brasero. The trouble is it is missing packages that I cannot get.
[05:54] <r00t__> ?
[05:54] <bkerensa> !derivatives | shadowmilk11
[05:54] <Booqaneer> @shadowmilk11 Have you tried installing Synaptic package manager?
[05:54] <Booqaneer> It'll check for broken packages and fix them automatically.
[05:54] <shadowmilk11> I have the package manager.
[05:55] <shadowmilk11> This is actually how I downloaded Brasero.
[05:56] <sunshinehappy> Is anyone else finding the ubuntu repos very slow at the moment?
[05:56] <sunshinehappy> I am wondering why they are only giving me 30 kb/
[05:56] <sunshinehappy> s
[05:56] <StarryNight> yea
[05:57] <sunshinehappy> is there something happening? any idea where to find more information about it?
[05:57] <Booqaneer> sudo apt-get remove --purge <package>
[05:57] <Booqaneer> sudo apt-get clean
[05:57] <Booqaneer> Try that and reinstall?
[05:57] <shadowmilk11> From the package manager or the shell?
[05:57] <bkerensa> sunshinehappy: you can change your mirror in update manager to a faster mirror that is closer to you
[05:57] <Booqaneer> @sunshinehappy Try doing a speedtest of your connection. Maybe it's not the server?
[05:58] <Booqaneer> @shadowmilk11 Commandline
[05:58] <omid> hey everybody, is it possible to install ubuntu 12.04 DVD via wubi inside windows?
[05:58] <shadowmilk11> Ok, I will go and try, one question though, what does the "clean" do? never used it.
[05:59] <Booqaneer> @shadowmilk11 It removes downloaded archive files.
[05:59] <shadowmilk11> Ok, thanks
[05:59] <shadowmilk11> brb
[05:59] <Booqaneer> If you do a "man apt-get" (no quotes) in the terminal it has more info on what commands you can use.
[06:00] <DotarSojat> shadowmilk1, if those commands doesnt work, try " sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq " command
[06:01] <blackshirt> what is /etc/init.d/sandbox for?
[06:01] <DotarSojat> anyone have tried Wubi migration script?
[06:01] <omid> Hey folks, I've downloaded ubuntu 12.04 DVD and wubi setup, is it possible to install ubuntu DVD via Wubi (and not normal desktop CD)?
[06:01] <blackshirt> migration script?
[06:02] <blackshirt> Is'there one?
[06:02] <shadowmilk11> Ok, I am installing now.
[06:02] <DotarSojat> yes, to migrate wubi install to partition

[06:04] <Booqaneer> @shadowmilk11 Did it work?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> omid: try duckduckgo then :D
[06:04] <Booqaneer> I wonder what the average technical level is of an Ubuntu user?
[06:04] <shadowmilk11> Seconded. Although I am new, I like the idea where everyone know what I am talking about..xDD
[06:04] <Booqaneer> Are we all engineers?
[06:04] <DotarSojat> lol, duckduckgo! i use it on Midori

[06:07] <ActionParsnip> Booqaneer: its offtopic though
[06:07] <Booqaneer> Sounds like an important job.
[06:07] <Booqaneer> I'm a lowly engineer.
[06:07] <bkerensa> Booqaneer: please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> DotarSojat: never tried wubi, the idea is nasty imho and it can be hard to work with
[06:08] <DotarSojat> i see, thanks ActionParsnip
[06:08] <shadowmilk11> @Booqaneer I get the same error -_-
[06:08] <Booqaneer> @bkerensa Sure, thanks.
[06:08] <dr_willis> ive mounted the wubi drive image file  from a normal linux install ;) i recall.
[06:09] <shadowmilk11> Any ideas?

[06:10] <shadowmilk11> An XP OS. So I can run in VirtualBox
[06:10] <pengw> i want to play genesis game
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> pengw: check plydeb
[06:10] <pengw> ok
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> pengw: I told you this earlier
[06:11] <dr_willis> 'playdeb' ;_)
[06:11] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: I don'tthink you can just ISO an NTFS partition and boot it in Vbox
[06:11] <pengw> i think it usually has a GENS/GS emulator in the software center
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: there is a method you can use to boot an installed OS in virtualbox though
[06:11] <dr_willis> pengw:  try an 'apt-cache search emulator' and see whats there.
[06:11] <shadowmilk11> ActionParsnip: I am creating from a CD that I have, in theory it should work. The problem has to do with Brasero.
[06:12] <bkerensa> !derivatives > shadowmilk11
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> pengw: dgen is in the repos
[06:12] <shadowmilk11> Ok, sorry ubottu, I was just seeing if anyone had any ideas.
[06:12] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card?
[06:12] <dr_willis> !info dgen
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> pengw: but gens is on playdeb
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> pengw: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.04/?q=genesis
[06:13] <pengw> thank you
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: so you want to make an ISO of a CD
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> pengw: like I said (3rd time now)....check playdeb
[06:13] <dr_willis> some of those emulators may be 32bit only.
[06:13] <shadowmilk11> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[06:13] <jalal> i need help bro
[06:13] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card?
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: why not just run:   sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/cdimage.iso
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: so much easier
[06:14] <shadowmilk11> ActionParsnip: -_- I forgot about that.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> jalal: if you give details we may be able to help
[06:14] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card? I'm getting an error when running a make
[06:14] <jalal> i am unable to click software center install button
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> jalal: if you close software centre and run:  sudo apt-get update     is it smooth?
[06:15] <dr_willis> Altan:  you may  want to pastebin the commands and errors you are getting.
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> pengw: you'll need to add the playdeb ppa before you can use those links, there is a deb to add it for you

[06:17] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card? I'm getting an error when running a make - http://pastebin.com/QTUg9QQM

[06:21] <dr_willis> Altan:  you did do a ./configure befor the  make?
[06:21] <Altan> No, I didn't
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> Altan: seems its in the 3.2.0-23 kernel, not the 3.2.0-25 like you have
[06:21] <shadowmilk11> ActionParsnip:Lol, it just finished. Thanks
[06:21] <dr_willis> !compile
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: patience young grasshopper
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> shadowmilk11: optical drives are painfully slow
[06:22] <brettJames_> Hmm could anyone recommend a clean safe way to uninstall ubuntu from the hard drive that I have it installed on. I am currently on my SSD which has windows 7 installed on it.
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> brettJames_: how did you install Ubuntu?
[06:22] <brettJames_> Do I just reformat the drive from inside windows or will windows not find it
[06:22] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  use gparted, delete the partions. repartition as needed..
[06:22] <Altan> ActionParsnip, , what should I do about that?
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> Altan: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=autoconf.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any
[06:22] <pengw> i got it
[06:22] <pengw> thx
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Altan: you could symlink I guess, could get messy. What are you compiling anyway?
[06:23] <xjkx> On gnome there is this Suspend button, but I want to use it on Openbox, how do I call it manually ? I tried googling they told me to install pmi software, but when I ran it, it said I had not enough swap memory, and froze the system...on Gnome way it just works
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> pengw: but why did I have to tell you 3 times?
[06:23] <brettJames_> Ok, I have 3 hard drives.  I burn ubuntu to a disk to do this. I also made sure I installed the bootloader on Hard Drive 3 with Ubuntu so it doesnt interfere with windows boot loader.
[06:23] <Bitgod> what version of x does ubuntu 12.04 LTS use
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> xjkx: sudo pm-suspend     maybe
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> !info Xorg precise
[06:24] <Bitgod> ?
[06:24] <Bitgod> http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
[06:24] <Bitgod> im supposed to do X -version
[06:24] <Bitgod> but X dont exist
[06:25] <xjkx> ActionParsnip: there isnt a way to check what is being ran in background when we hit Suspend ? I'm guessing it was the command I tried, pm-suspend, too
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> !info xorg
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: sure it does
[06:25] <brettJames_> So it wouldn't be a good idea to go into Windows Hard Drive Managament and completely wipe the drive?
[06:25] <brettJames_> It is not set as my primary boot drive or anything
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: run:  which X
[06:25] <Altan> ActionParsnip, will this mess with any other drivers I have installed?
[06:25] <Bitgod> atek@atek-desktop:~$ which X
[06:25] <Bitgod> buut i need version
[06:26] <Bitgod> to do the driver
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: then run:   X -version
[06:26] <Bitgod> i did
[06:26] <Bitgod> it failed
[06:26] <brettJames_> anyone?
[06:26] <Bitgod> nm i got it
[06:26] <Bitgod> X not x :P
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: yes, thats why I used a capital X
[06:27] <Altan> ActionParsnip, I'm trying to install drivers for my networking card
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: linux is very case sensitive
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Altan: which chip?
[06:27] <brettJames_> Ok, I have 3 hard drives.  I burn ubuntu to a disk to do this. I also made sure I installed the bootloader on Hard Drive 3 with Ubuntu so it doesnt interfere with windows boot loader.
[06:27] <Altan> ActionParsnip, Asus PCE-N15
[06:27] <brettJames_> So it wouldn't be a good idea to go into Windows Hard Drive Managament and completely wipe the drive?
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: you can't go switching case just because you want to
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> Altan: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a      use http://pastie.org (or similar) to host. Thanks
[06:29] <brettJames_> Action sorry to bug you but is there anyway you can answer my question so I can wipe this hard drive real fast?
[06:29] <Bitgod> AcidRain2012
[06:29] <Bitgod> ActionParsnip
[06:29] <Altan> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063789/
[06:29] <Bitgod> know anything about eGalaxTouch?
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: not even heard of it
[06:30] <Bitgod> touchscreen / controller
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Altan: the wifi interface has an IP....
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Altan: do you not get web access with it?
[06:30] <Altan> ActionParsnip, the way it is currently set up, I can only connect to g networks
[06:31] <Bitgod> ActionParsnip
[06:31] <Bitgod> http://pastebin.com/pbAVLAQu
[06:31] <Altan> ActionParsnip, I get extremely low speeds when connected to an n network
[06:31] <Bitgod> which one is my X-server version :(
[06:31] <Bitgod> eGTouch daemon driver  ( Recommended )
[06:31] <Bitgod> Requested:
[06:31] <Bitgod>                   1. Kernel version must be from 2.6.24 to upwards.
[06:31] <Bitgod>                   2. X-server version must be from 1.7.6 to upwards.
[06:31] <FloodBot1> Bitgod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: X.Org X Server 1.11.3
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Altan: then disable the N speed in the driver and you'll be fine
[06:31] <Bitgod> ok so i beat the requirements
[06:31] <Altan> ActionParsnip, lucky for me I have both, one as an extended connection, but it would be much more optimum to be able to connect to the n network
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Altan: how fast is your internet connection?
[06:32] <Altan> ActionParsnip, 20 down 2 up
[06:32] <Bitgod> ActionParsnip
[06:32] <Bitgod> last question
[06:32] <brettJames_> N network normally doesn't have as good of a signal/speed even though it is supposed to.
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Altan: well G speed is more than double that
[06:32] <Bitgod> how do i uninstall a driver
[06:32] <Altan> ActionParsnip, not when the router is more than 30 feet away
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: the question is so vague it is worthless. If you can give more detail it will help
[06:33] <Bitgod> like i need to remove the current installed eGalaxDriver
[06:33] <brettJames_> G > N in almost all situations.. the only thing N is good for is multimedia devices like dvd players streaming netflix, etc..
[06:33] <Bitgod> so i can start over
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Altan: did you buy the card extra for the system?
[06:33] <Altan> Bitgod, I believe it would be 'sudo apt-get remove 'driver
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: how did you install it?
[06:34] <Altan> ActionParsnip, I need it for wireless networking
[06:34] <brettJames_> Hmm so can anyone help me with my uninstall question?
[06:34] <Bitgod> ActionParsnip: tar.gz
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> Altan: yes but is it extra to the system or was it already in there?
[06:34] <Altan> ActionParsnip, it is extra
[06:34] <Bitgod> ActionParsnip: extr
[06:34] <Bitgod> a
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: ok was it source or binaries in the archive, saying its a compressed archive doesn't tell  us much
[06:34] <Bitgod> i dont recall dude lol
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Altan: why didn't you check it was going to work before buying?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: the redownload and check would be a logical path to take...right>
[06:35] <Altan> ActionParsnip, it worked just fine on Windows :P
[06:35] <Bitgod> ok
[06:35] <Altan> ActionParsnip, I just need to get the driver installed
[06:35] <Altan> Bitgod,
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Altan: Windows has completely differnet support as it is a complately different OS
[06:36] <Altan> ActionParsnip, the card has claimed support for Linux users, however I need some help installing it
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> Bitgod: wouldn't you say? If you can't remember, re-download the file, wasn't that obvious?
[06:36] <Altan> Bitgod, I might be able to help
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> Altan: why didn't you buy a device known to work in Linux?
[06:37] <brettJames_> Uninstalling linux, because I want to put it on another hard drive. Can I just wipe it from windows?
[06:37] <Altan> ActionParsnip, it does, I just need a bit of help installing the drivers for it. I a fair bit new to Linux however.
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> brettJames_: sure if you used another partition use disk manager, you will need your Windows CD to reinstate the WIndows bootloader
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Altan: ok one that works WELL
[06:38] <brettJames_> Action I didn't use another partition on my windows boot drive. I installed linux ubuntu completely separate on a whole nother hard drive.
[06:38] <Altan> ActionParsnip, I'm not exactly here to argue, I just need help diagnosing my problem
[06:38] <brettJames_> So from within windows dick management I can just format the hard drive and im good right? all traces of linux gone on that HD?
[06:39] <brettJames_> disk****
[06:39] <Bitgod> LOL
[06:39] <brettJames_> hahah
[06:39] <Altan> brettJames_, nice one.
[06:39] <brettJames_> s is right near d haha
[06:39] <Altan> brettJames_, I'm sure you use that utility all the time ;)
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> Altan: its a civil question. I am searching at the same time
[06:40] <Altan> ActionParsnip, hours of Googling were to no avail for me
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> Altan: you could symlink the file missing to the other kernel and it may work
[06:40] <brettJames_> Hmm I just want to make sure I'm not going to screw anything up by formatting the hard drive ubuntu is on
[06:40] <Bitgod> brettJames_: but how did u get a C in there :P
[06:40] <Altan> ActionParsnip, IRC is a last resort for myself
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> Altan: I dont use google, I may get differnent results
[06:40] <brettJames_> .... who doesn't use google
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> Altan: if you run:  lsmod | grep acer     do you get any output?
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> brettJames_: I use it very rarely
[06:41] <brettJames_> ok im outty I guess I'll uninstall some other time when I can get a confirmation from someone that I'm not screwing anything up
[06:41] <Altan> ActionParsnip, no results
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> Altan: ok thats good
[06:41] <Altan> ActionParsnip, however i do for asus
[06:42] <Altan> I've been having many hardware problems lately :/
[06:44] <shadowmilk11> Ok, I finally got it.
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> Altan: what do you get for asus?
[06:45] <wrapids> What's the ubuntu server channel?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: #ubuntu-server
[06:45] <wrapids> of course...
[06:45] <wrapids> Thanks.
[06:45] <Altan> ActionParsnip, it looks like a list of files
[06:46] <Altan> ActionParsnip, could it be from my asus motherboard?
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> Altan: not sure, probably not worth worring about
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> Altan: you may need to drop back to the kernel with the file you need to make it work. I'd just take the card back and buy something with a Linux friendly chip. Much easier
[06:51] <Altan> ActionParsnip, alright, I'll see what I can do
[06:51] <Altan> ActionParsnip, where can I find a list of said chips?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> !hcl
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Altan: you could try Quantal liveCD, see if the newer kernel helps
[06:52] <Altan> ActionParsnip, thanks for the help
[06:57] <Kartagis> I am running cairo-dock, right clicked an icon and told it to move to the top dock. how can I take that back? it's not in the list anymore
[07:03] <somethinginteres> Hi all, I notice that Chromium in the Ubuntu SC  is v18 but v20 came out yesterday, is there an official PPA to keep Chromium updated when new stable builds come out? I am not too keen on daily builds.
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: do you mean Chrome, not chromium?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: I'm using Chrome at version 20.0.1132.43   so Chromium will be a later number..
[07:09] <Robr3rd> Using Ubuntu 12.04, whenever I attempt to access a file over FTP with an editor (the editor matters not), I get the error, "Could not open file [filename]. (Transport endpoint is not connected.)"
[07:09] <gtroy>  (Transport endpoint is not connected.)"
[07:09] <gtroy> sorry was about to google that
[07:10] <tedryder> What is going on?
[07:10] <tedryder> What is this ubuntu?
[07:10] <gtroy> Robr3rd: are you acessing a different filesystem?
[07:11] <fidel> tedryder: a linux based operating system/distribution ;)
[07:11] <somethinginteres> ActionParsnip: precise
[07:11] <Robr3rd> gtroy, Yes, it is a different system.
[07:11] <fidel> tedryder: in case you want a long definition - i am pretty sure noone inhere will have that better then wikipedia
[07:12] <gtroy> all ports good and everything?
[07:12] <somethinginteres> ActionParsnip: "chromium-browser 18.0.1025.151~r130497-0ubuntu1" from the software centre
[07:12] <Robr3rd> gtroy, It used to work fine and I've not changed anything between when it functioned and when it stopped, so I would assume so.
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: its only just come out, I'd give it a while to make it into the repo
[07:13] <gtroy> Robr3rd: ok
[07:13] <Robr3rd> gtroy, I'm connecting to FTP on Port 21 (if that matters) -- the default
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: why do you need the new one so badly?
[07:13] <gtroy> Robr3rd: can you unmount sshfs and remount the drive?
[07:13] <gtroy> http://kuttler.eu/post/sshfs-transport-endpoint-not-connecte/
[07:13] <yuka> have problem.. since today morning i cant login to ubuntu 11.10.. when i type my password i see black thingie for quick sec and then it goes back to login screen
[07:13] <gtroy> if you are indeed using sshfs
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> yuka: tried a different session? like Unity2D?
[07:14] <yuka> i only have ubuntu and ubuntu2d
[07:14] <yuka> i tried both.. however all my process are working normally , like apache2 and samba
[07:14] <gtroy> Robr3rd: are you using sshfs?
[07:14] <somethinginteres> ActionParsnip: understandable. I recognise such things take time but v19 still hasn't landed in the repo either. No specific reason other than wanting to keep things up to date.
[07:14] <Robr3rd> gtroy, I'm assuming sshfs == the system I am connecting to?
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> yuka: they will always run and are seperate to the desktop
[07:14] <abhinav_debugger> hi........we just installed xchat..... its working in mine, but not in my friend's vaio laptop.. its not giving the channel selection option.........please help
[07:15] <gtroy> Robr3rd: if you don't know, I'm assuming not
[07:15] <yuka> ActionParsnip however if i login with other username.. i can login but i dont see any toolbar on left or so
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> somethinginteres: then if you have no specific reason, why are you so bothered. It will get there eventually. You could report a bug if you wanted but I doubt it will do much at all
[07:15] <Robr3rd> gtroy, All I know is, I'm using the "Connect to server..." setting on Nautilus, going with all the default options, with the only options changed being the "Type" to "FTP (with login)
[07:16] <gtroy> ok, something is up with the filesystem mounting
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> yuka: is your user the owner of all of it's data and do all partitions have more than 10% free space
[07:16] <yuka> yes
[07:16] <yuka> more then that even
[07:16] <gtroy> Robr3rd: I don't know, I believe it has to do with the server side
[07:16] <yuka> it was all fine, this all happened all of sudden
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> yuka: have you checked the ownerships?
[07:16] <yuka> i am sure its fine..
[07:16] <Robr3rd> gtroy, *nods* alright, so there's not much I can do from my end
[07:16] <gtroy> might need a fsck, or a remount
[07:16] <gtroy> Robr3rd: see above
[07:17] <Robr3rd> gtroy, I've tried unmounting and remounting a number of times
[07:17] <gtroy> Robr3rd: that would be on the server side
[07:17] <somethinginteres> ActionParsnip: I am not bothered by it per se. I do find it strange that a whole version has been skipped. Figured something might be up. 2 new major version numbers indicate I am missing out on "something" one would suspect.
[07:17] <yuka> everything was normal untill i noticed i cant print on the printer thats connected to this server and shared via samba
[07:17] <Robr3rd> gtroy, I can't fsck because the destination is a Shared webhosting server to which I do not have that kind of access to.
[07:17] <yuka> so i wanted to login to ubuntu to check whats goin on
[07:17] <Altan> Could anyone help me compile and install a driver for a network card? I'm getting an error when running a make - http://pastebin.com/QTUg9QQM
[07:17] <Altan> oops
[07:18] <gtroy> Robr3rd: I see, I would call the webhosting admin
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> yuka: the services you are naming will run regardless of the desktop situation, they are daemons so it doesn't matter that you cannot login to them, it's not a test of anthing ecept that they get started
[07:18] <Robr3rd> gtroy, *nods* Alright, thank you very much. :)
[07:18] <gtroy> hope it works quickly for you
[07:19] <Altan> ActionParsnip, how do you go about installing Quantal LiveCD
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> yuka: if you make a fresh ubutu user and login, is the session ok?
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Altan: I don't suggest you install it, just use it to see if the wifi is ok there
[07:19] <yuka> i am gonna try
[07:20] <Altan> ActionParsnip, is it possible i can revert back to the old kernel?
[07:21] <yuka> no
[07:21] <yuka> i just made test user and its same
[07:21] <yuka> there is only one user from before
[07:21] <yuka> which works to login to desktop
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> Altan: hold shift at boot and select the old kernel
[07:22] <yuka> but its really weird because, when i login to that user i come to desktop, and desktop is clean, there is no toolbar on left there is no system settings etc up no lan icons and stuff.. only one toolbar file edit view go bookmarks help which doesent help me to find anything
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> yuka: then its the apps, not your user settings having issue
[07:23] <WXZ> how do I filter out only mp3 files with ls?
[07:23] <Merwin> Guys, I'm looking for a simple Todo-List manager which integrates in Unity. For example, an icon on the top bar whichs opens a panel and let me enter my todo items.
[07:23] <Merwin> Do you know something like this ?
[07:23] <yuka> ActionParsnip.. but why this happened :S i didnt change anything , server was just running , and all i did was using tty to change php.ini or so
[07:23] <tol>  WXZ with grep mp3
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> yuka: what GPU do you use?
