[00:00] <morgium> alright, sorry. with gdm server starts on console 8, with lightdm it fails to load (Fatal IO error 11), i can login via console and then startxfce4 manually and it works. but this is not satisfactory. what can i try? i googled but i only find bug reports not related to my problem
[00:00] <osmario> sorry i must send the script to this site?
[00:01] <morgium> http://pastebin.com/4tZPk8th
[00:01] <Jordan_U> bruenig: Could you explain why you say that ekrjnfedfkj is a spambot? (in #ubuntu-ops)
[00:01] <morgium> osmario, just go there, its pretty self-explanatory. you can paste text there for others to see it (look at my link, its my .xsession-errors)
[00:02] <nibbler_> morgium: first i'd try to just use another dm, like lightdm
[00:02] <morgium> i am using lightdm
[00:02] <nibbler_> morgium: first i'd try to just use another dm, like gdm
[00:02] <ekrjnfedfkj> bruenig, no i'm not
[00:03] <nibbler_> morgium: so, whatever you use that does not work (first you said you use gdm), try another one.
[00:04] <morgium> nibbler_, if you read again what i described you will find i already tried that
[00:04] <nibbler_> morgium: sorry
[00:05] <nibbler_> morgium: so with gdm it start on console 8, where is the problem?
[00:05] <SkippersBoss> he wants hismachine to boot gdm automaticaly
[00:06] <morgium> preferably lightdm.
[00:06] <nibbler_> and console 8 is not shown automatically?
[00:06] <aaas> i have a question about developing a website locally and syncing to the host with rsync...any idea of a channel which would discuss webmaster related issues like this?
[00:06] <nibbler_> aaas, so - why not just rsync it, and get your options from man rsync?
[00:06] <aaas> nibbler_ it's not the options or the how, it's the logistics
[00:08] <SkippersBoss> morgium, i would purge lightdm, make sure no config files are left and install again
[00:08] <morgium> SkippersBoss: i did that already
[00:09] <morgium> im pretty sure the problem comes from my deinstalling ubuntu-desktop, installing xubunutu-desktop
[00:09] <morgium> the "migration" failed somehow
[00:10] <SkippersBoss> ive done the same and it went fine
[00:10] <morgium> SkippersBoss: congratulations
[00:10] <osmario> how can i call a script?
[00:10] <morgium> Osmario: chmod u+x scriptname
[00:10] <morgium> ./scriptname
[00:11] <morgium> and you can call it whatever you want! :)
[00:12] <SkippersBoss> your cleary missing a few libraries when you disassembled ubuntu desktop :-(
[00:13] <sdiaz> says I do in the software center
[00:13] <sdiaz> mt
[00:14] <osmario> if i use ./scriptname it works. but instead if i type chmod +x scriptname or chmod u+x scrptname nothing happens
[00:15] <SkippersBoss> morgium: looks like installing xubuntu didnot go according to plan.
[00:16] <morgium> SkippersBoss: /nick CaptainObvious
[00:16] <fishbait> ... why is adobe stopping linux platform support?
[00:16] <morgium> SkippersBoss: sorry i didnt read the line before that, i thought that was a troll attempt. im sorry for that response.
[00:17] <trinisoljah> i have question
[00:17] <trinisoljah> anyone willing to help ?
[00:17] <morgium> SkippersBoss: but that did actually give me an idea!
[00:17] <lnxslck> trinisoljah, just ask
[00:17] <morgium> trinisoljah: ask first :)
[00:18] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[00:18] <trinisoljah> ok i have an alfa wireless card and i am typing sudo iwconfig wlan2 key "key"
[00:18] <trinisoljah> and it says
[00:18] <SkippersBoss> don't worry good luck in restoring
[00:18] <trinisoljah> error fore wireless request set encode (8B2A
[00:19] <morgium> SkippersBoss: i think it happened because i first installed xubuntu, and then deinstalled ubuntu of course!
[00:19] <Sire> What is required to get mpd/mpc to recognize an Audigy eX audio card on Ubuntu Server?
[00:19] <trinisoljah> how do i put in a key for a wireless card
[00:19] <trinisoljah> ?
[00:19] <morgium> xubuntu-desktpo is a metapackage, right?
[00:19] <SkippersBoss> yep and it removed halve of your xubuntu setup :-)
[00:20] <Sire> I saw that `sudo lshw` finds the audio device, its MIDI, and its Firewire.
[00:20] <SkippersBoss> half
[00:20] <SkippersBoss> ueh yes
[00:20] <fishbait> what would this do? sudo cp -r usr/* /usr
[00:21] <nitrohax> it keeps going to the optional boot menu on start up? is it just because it's using sdb instead of sda?
[00:21] <fishbait> are there multiple options?
[00:23] <fishbait> i have flash player and i'm running kde how do i install this thing?
[00:23] <trinisoljah> is anyone here familiar with backtrack 5 ?
[00:25] <mmonat> nical
[00:25] <fishbait> trinisoljah: this is an ubuntu support channel those here are likely familiar only with ubuntu
[00:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> would u have to put a default gateway ip if theres not 1?/
[00:25] <sk8|> fishbait, dod someone tell you what it will do?
[00:26] <bkerensa> !backtrack | trinisoljah
[00:26] <sk8|> bkerensa, that's a no no
[00:26] <sk8|> ;p
[00:26] <fishbait> sk8: no but i'm leery of that command
[00:26] <sk8|> cp is the copy function
[00:26] <sk8|> -r is recursive
[00:27] <trinisoljah> wtf , backtrack is based on ubuntu
[00:27] <trinisoljah> what is the big deal
[00:27] <sk8|> meaning everything contained in usr/
[00:27] <trinisoljah> it uses the same syntax fools
[00:27] <sk8|> what is the reason for using it
[00:27] <sk8|> fishbait, ^
[00:27] <fishbait> trinisoljah: no ubuntu is based on debian thats a common misconception
[00:28] <fishbait> sk8|: trying to install flash player
[00:28] <trinisoljah> i said backtrack is based on ubuntu
[00:28] <sk8|> what's wrong no flash?
[00:28] <nitrohax> what is the .deb you speak of? LOL
[00:28] <trinisoljah> not ubuntu is based on backtrack
[00:28] <sk8|> are you using chromium?
[00:28] <fishbait> trinisoljah: what i'm trying to say is that backtrack is debian based.
[00:29] <trinisoljah> exactly
[00:29] <bkerensa> trinisoljah: Do you have a Ubuntu related support question? We do not support other distros
[00:29] <m1chael> im trying to install xubuntu 12.04 but im getting an error  that says something like gfxboot not a com32r image ... i burned t he iso from xfcburn in xubuntu on another computer
[00:29] <fuzzynurfhurter> im having a prob with network it will not automatically find an ip address for itself
[00:29] <fishbait> sk8|: i'm using opera and trying to install 64-bit native fLash
[00:29] <trinisoljah> this is retarded
[00:29] <chu> trinisoljah: Don't be so hostile.
[00:29] <trinisoljah> can someone help me configure this wireless card or not ?
[00:29] <sk8|> did you grab the plugin from adobe
[00:29] <sk8|> ?
[00:30] <trinisoljah> is this where all noobs are at
[00:30] <fishbait> sk8|: grabed abd extraqcted the 11.2 64-bit file
[00:30] <bkerensa> !rules | trinisoljah
[00:31] <sk8|> i'm nt familiar with opera or it's issues
[00:31] <trinisoljah> someone tell me where the backtrack irc is
[00:31] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | trinisoljah
[00:32] <phileaton> what can I do with irssi?
[00:32] <trinisoljah> #join
[00:32] <fishbait> lol i love this site http://lmgtfy.com/?q=backtrack+irc+support+channel
[00:33] <sk8|> fish go get the plugin
[00:33] <fishbait> got it
[00:33] <Jordan_U> fishbait: Please don't use lmgtfy links here.
[00:33] <fishbait> Jordan
[00:33] <sk8|> untar is
[00:33] <Senix> I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, with unity when connected to a wired connection it randomly disconnects every few minutes. is there a bug and/or fix for this?
[00:33] <sk8|> sudo mkdir /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:33] <sk8|> cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:34] <fishbait> Jordan_u: ooh here is where i found out about it but okay
[00:34] <fishbait> sk8|: done'
[00:34] <sk8|> no dice?
[00:34] <morgium> how do i reinstall a metapackage with all dependencies
[00:34] <morgium> without removing it
[00:35] <fishbait> ok ima try it
[00:35] <Senix> morgium: I do believe that there is a sudo apt-get reinstall option, but other then that they will have to be removed to re-install anyway.
[00:35] <Senix> morgium: you could try the synaptic package manager, that may help.
[00:35] <fishbait> file exists
[00:36] <morgium> Senix: there is, apt-get --reinstall install xubuntu-desktop, but that doesnt reinstall the dependencies recursively
[00:36] <sk8|> Senix, i tihnk the apci update has broken alot of stuff
[00:36] <morgium> senix: alright, i'll try that. :/
[00:36] <sk8|> fishbait, you getting it taken care of?
[00:36] <Senix> sk8|: so would you suggest i install a later version of Ubuntu or install the latest version?
[00:37] <sk8|> i had to
[00:37] <fishbait> sk8|: what file do i copy there?
[00:37] <CellTech> Can someone tell me how to 'register' so I can get into the android rooms?
[00:37] <sk8|> did you download the plugin from adobe?
[00:37] <aragorn> does sudo apt-get update actually install updates? or does it just load updates
[00:37] <Jordan_U> !register | CellTech
[00:38] <aragorn> does sudo apt-get update actually install updates? or does it just load updates? can anybody help me
[00:38] <Senix> aragorn: it only updates the repo files
[00:38] <yeats> aragorn: it updates your package cache
[00:38] <jorge_> there is somebody tuquiso system?
[00:38] <Senix> aragorn: you can do a sudo apt-get upgrade to isntall the updtaes.
[00:38] <fishbait> ... i'll check the readne
[00:38] <aragorn> thank you very much!
[00:38] <sk8|> fishbait, go to downloads and select flash player
[00:38] <aragorn> do you have to run sudo apt-get update before you run upgrade?
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: it is suggested that you do
[00:39] <sk8|> untar the file
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: you can use this syntax
[00:39] <CellTech> Joined the freenode. typed that in and it's not working
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:39] <sk8|> mkdir /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:39] <aragorn> ah, again, thank you very much,Senix!
[00:39] <Senix> aragorn: np
[00:39] <sk8|> and cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins
[00:39] <sk8|> all done
[00:40] <Senix> aragorn: that command will both update and upgrade in one straight go.
[00:40] <gld1982ltd> hi all. is anyone using conkygui on ubuntu 11.10? if so, how did you get it to work? if not, does anyone know of a "skeleton" .conkyrc that has all options printed in the file with commented notes or something? or maybe another app to configure conky other than conky colors?
[00:41] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, you may enjoy gkrellm instead of conky
[00:41] <deitarion> How do I pull in the basic dependencies for building 32-bit apps on a 32-bit system? `sudo apt-get install build-essential:i386` fails due to dependency conflicts.
[00:42] <yeats> deitarion: install ia32-libs
[00:42] <deitarion> yeats: I'm on Precise.
[00:42] <yeats> !info ia32-libs
[00:42] <yeats> ah
[00:42] <sk8|> have a good evening
[00:43] <sk8|> see you tomorrow
[00:43] <deitarion> yeats: On Precise, you generally install the plain old 32-bit packages rather than special pseudo-64bit variants which just pull in ia32-libs.
[00:43] <gld1982ltd> jiohdi: it doesn't look like gkrellm can do as much with graphics....am i wrong?
[00:43] <yeats> deitarion: okay - I didn't know that
[00:44] <deitarion> The problem is that I'm trying to compile Desura/Desurium with support for installing and running 32-bit games and the build process complains about not being able to find 32-bit versions of libgcc and libgcc_s.
[00:44] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, it has many theme options, but what are you looking for
[00:44] <fuzzynurfhurter> if i have #ubuntu in the server tab am i not registered??
[00:44] <fishbait> okay flash player is installed
[00:44] <morgium> brb
[00:44] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, another oldie but goodie is MGM
[00:45] <sk8|> your welecome fishbait
[00:45] <sk8|> ;p
[00:45] <mahir> Hi
[00:45] <fishbait> sk8|: ty
[00:45] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, also known as moaning goat monitor for no  apparent reason
[00:46] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, but I use gkrellm, themable movable, dockable can be on top or on bottom
[00:46] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, and checks my mail
[00:46] <fishbait> when i fullscreen youtube it doesn't stretch the video it just centers the video and the control bar is at the center of the screen under it
[00:47] <mahir> Guys I have 1 western dgital 3 TB and 1 Segate 3 TB Hard Drives both have data and both are formatted by Windows 7and have lots of data, Ubuntu 11.10 is not picking any of them they are connected internally in the system
[00:47] <mahir> FYI I am very new to linux
[00:48] <gld1982ltd> jiohdi: i tried screenlets, but i want to make the widgets myself. i like conky's lightness and it's ability to do pretty much anything.
[00:48] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, yes conky is very flexible, I find theming it makes it a power pig at times
[00:49] <deitarion> fishbait: You wouldn't happen to have a multi-monitor desktop, would you?
[00:49] <fishbait> dual monitors.
[00:50] <deitarion> fishbait: It's a flaw in the YouTube player (Players on sites like Vimeo and Blip.tv are unaffected) where it sizes the player to the aspect ratio of your full desktop and then scales it to only one monitor.
[00:50] <gld1982ltd> i'm not looking for old school, just going to try to implement a new system for conky......as far as theming it, i will be using mostly text on screen. i will be using a custom background with each conky setup i create. each background will have all images on it i need to make conky look great. i am just looking for an app that works on 11.10 to help configure these setups a little faster.
[00:50] <gld1982ltd> jiohdi: sorry, please read my post above.
[00:51] <piero> I use gnome-shell with two monitors. When I open the browser, nautilus or even xchat, the window is sent to the secondary monitor, maximized. Once I restore it, it moves to the main monitor (wtf?). Can I force all new programs to open in the main monitor and just what I move to the secondary stay there?
[00:52] <deitarion> fishbait: My favorite simple workaround is to either use YousableTubeFix to resize the player to the full width of your browser window without fullscreening or to combine YousableTubeFix's Download button with something like Firefox's InlineDisposition extension to let the MPlayer browser plugin handle playback.
[00:52] <jiohdi> gld1982ltd, pinguyos got it to work on 11.04 and 11.10, might want to check with their forum
[00:52] <deitarion> fishbait: Are you on Firefox, Chrome, or Opera?
[00:53] <gld1982ltd>  jiohdi: thanks i'll look into it.
[00:53] <Sire> fishbait: if you want something more convoluted and time-consuming, look into youtube-dl.py so you can download the video directly, then watch it in your local media player.
[00:54] <DubstepCraig> Hi
[00:55] <deitarion> Sire: YousableTubeFix has a Download button for that. I use InlineDisposition to force the video to be picked up by a browser plugin.
[00:55] <DubstepCraig> I have a nooby little problem, I own a minecraft server and I'm using a 1GB VPS, I want to turn some of the disk space into virtual RAM, how can I do this, I tried google first without luck.
[00:56] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: The terms you want to Google are "swap partition" and "loopback filesystem"
[00:56] <fishbait> opera and its a flaw but html5 works and  i don't use youtube that often.
[00:56] <aaustin> DubstepCraig, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[00:57] <deitarion> fishbait: Install this user script. https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36453
[00:58] <deitarion> fishbait: I use the Firefox and Chrome versions and both work flawlessly so the Opera one will probably do likewise. Really comfortable way to add "Resize" and "Download" buttons below the YouTube player.
[00:58] <DubstepCraig> Is a swap partition basically a partition that is only used for Virtual memory?
[00:59] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: Yeah.
[00:59] <DubstepCraig> So if a swap partition exists at any size that means I have virtual memory already?
[00:59] <mdcook> join #drupal
[00:59] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: Yeah.
[01:00] <Sire> I just installed mpc and mpd, I have the mpd configuration set up apparently properly and I have my music directory in "~/music". I have two directories, one of m4a and the other of mp3 files, but `mpc update` and `mpc listall` don't seem to do anything.
[01:00] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: The Unix/Linux term for virtual memory is "swap space" because it's more honest about how it works and what you can expect.
[01:00] <Sire> What should I do?
[01:00] <DubstepCraig> deitarion: I was just about to ask that before you told me :)
[01:00] <denwz> I have an issue booting from SAN with Ubuntu. I was able to install the OS. Then I rebooted, I was able to see GRUB and select my Kernel. It loads quite a bit and then hange with 1500 mtu DHCP RARP. Any ideas?
[01:01] <mdcook> test
[01:01] <deitarion> Sire: Sorry. That sounds like the kind of thing I'd normally know, but MPD doesn't play chiptunes so I've never even experimented with it.
[01:02] <Chelsea> Has anyone had any luck connecting an Apple alu Wireless to 12.04?
[01:02] <DubstepCraig> If I create a swap partition is it added to the same place as my physical memory for example if I only have 24GB physical RAM and I have a JVM that requires 28GB RAM it will automatically take the virtual RAM?
[01:03] <mikemonk> hello guys, performance wise, which would represent a better virtualization solution, with windows xp as guest; vmware, virtual box, kvm, other?
[01:03] <mdcook> quit
[01:03] <fuzzynurfhurter> what does %R mean?
[01:03] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: In what context?
[01:03] <fuzzynurfhurter> its in the digital clock
[01:04] <deitarion> mikemonk: That would probably depend on what you want to do with it. Do you need 3D acceleration?
[01:04] <fuzzynurfhurter> clock format
[01:04] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: The simplest way to answer questions like that is to open up a terminal and type "man strftime"
[01:04] <mikemonk> deitarion: no i don't
[01:04] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: (That opens up the manual for the function that resolves those codes)
[01:05] <deitarion> mikemonk: Ok. That makes things a little trickier. If you needed 3D, then VMware's implementation would be more mature than VirtualBoxes and I'm not sure if KVM has one at all.
[01:06] <mikemonk> deitarion: ok, so for 3D acceleration vmware is the best right?
[01:06] <fuzzynurfhurter> deitarion im trying to change it from military time to regular
[01:06] <deitarion> mikemonk: Yeah. VMWare's been working on it the longest.
[01:06] <reggal> what's a good live CD that supports games?
[01:07] <aragorn> could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save?
[01:07] <mikemonk> deitarion: what about if i don't need it? which one should i go for?
[01:07] <reggal> what's a good live CD that supports games and OpenGL?
[01:07] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: I use %I:%M or %I:%M:%S for that.
[01:07] <aragorn> could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save?
[01:08] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok i will try that man
[01:08] <deitarion> reggal: Depends on your video card. It's a lot easier to find LiveCDs if they don't need to include things like the nVidia binary drivers. Also, that'd probably be a better question for ##linux.
[01:08] <reggal> In that case, my best question would be: What's the best Live CD for including custom things like nVidia binary drivers
[01:09] <aragorn> could somebody please help me... I am editing the repositories using sudoedit.. how do I exit and save?
[01:09] <bazhang> reggal, this is ubuntu support only
[01:09] <fuzzynurfhurter> hell yeah that worked great deitarion
[01:09] <bazhang> reggal, remaster an ubuntu cd
[01:09] <blackshirt> aragorn, esc and then :wq
[01:09] <blackshirt> aragorn, esc and then :wq
[01:09] <aragorn> thank you!
[01:09] <bazhang> !remaster | reggal
[01:09] <deitarion> reggal: Probably Porteus. Adding packages like binary drivers is as simple as unpacking the ISO into a folder, dragging-and-dropping, and running the script to build a new ISO.
[01:10] <lopsided> hey does anyone know how to force 2.0 mode on a 3.0 USB controller?  I tried disabling the xhci kernel module but then the controller does not work at all.
[01:10] <aragorn> blackshirt: that didn't do anything?
[01:10] <deitarion> ...or that works too. Might also be easier for adding games to.
[01:10] <aragorn> how can I exit out of a sudoedit session without losing my changes? i.e. save and quit?
[01:11] <deitarion> mikemonk: Sorry for getting side-tracked. Let me think.
[01:11] <blackshirt> aragorn, or you just using nano?
[01:11] <mikemonk> deitarion: np
[01:11] <aragorn> nano?
[01:12] <lerox> suup
[01:12] <deitarion> mikemonk: I don't really have much experience comparing performance of the different virtualization solutions. My preference has always boiled down to "VMWare is closed-source and can't run alongside KVM, VirtualBox is good enough... stop."
[01:12] <aragorn> im not sure, i am new to linux.. I typed sudoedit /etc/apt/sourecs.list and I edited what I needed to... now how can I save the changes?
[01:12] <blackshirt> aragorn, exactly what command you are issued?
[01:12] <yeats> aragorn: try ctrl-X
[01:12] <lerox> up to
[01:12] <aragorn> yeats: will that save it as well?
[01:13] <mikemonk> deitarion: haha ok… thanks a lot for your input :)
[01:13] <yeats> aragorn: it should prompt you to save changes
[01:13] <aragorn> alright I'll give it a whil
[01:13] <Nosophorus> hello
[01:13] <deitarion> mikemonk: I suspect VMWare would probably be fastest since they have the biggest economic incentive and the best-known name.
[01:13] <blackshirt> aragorn, on nano ctrl-x, and then yes for save, just enter
[01:13] <lerox> huh
[01:14] <aragorn> it wouldn't let me overwrite the file
[01:14] <aragorn> it said I didn't have the permissions
[01:14] <butch128> My ubuntu 12.04 install locks up second after boot with my main user, but my alternate user can log in fine with no lock-up... any idea how i can recover my main user?
[01:14] <lopsided> aragorn can you do sudo nano filename
[01:14] <butch128> i can ssh into my machine without logging in as well fine
[01:14] <mikemonk> deitarion : sounds about right
[01:14] <lopsided> if u want to save what you have now writeout to a different file where you have permission then move it with sudo
[01:15] <aragorn> will nano access the file or move it?
[01:15] <butch128> it happens if i log in using ubuntu/xfce/kubuntu...
[01:15] <blackshirt> aragorn, i think you were in vim editor
[01:15] <lopsided> nano is an editor
[01:15] <aragorn> ok
[01:15] <aragorn> so I can move it and replace it with the sources.list file?
[01:16] <echo083> before making a apt-get dist-upgrade i have to do a apt-get update ?
[01:16] <yeats> blackshirt: sudoedit uses nano by default, so that seems unlikely
[01:16] <deitarion> butch128: I'm not familiar with Xfce, but I'm pretty sure both Ubuntu and Kubuntu would be trying to use a composited desktop in that situation. Have you tried something like Lubuntu which is incapable of compositing?
[01:16] <blackshirt> echo83, you should
[01:16] <echo083> blackshirt, the problem is i just made an apt-get update
[01:17] <aragorn> hank you all for your help it worked great using nano
[01:17] <echo083> blackshirt, i try to do an apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:17] <echo083> blackshirt, libgl1-mesa-dri: Broken: xserver-xorg-core (< 2:1.10.2-2) but 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.3 must be installed
[01:17] <yeats> echo083: no need to re-update if you just did it
[01:17] <yeats> just do 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[01:18] <echo083> yeats, no it stop after this error :(
[01:18] <Sire> I just installed mpc and mpd, I have the mpd configuration set up apparently properly and I have my music directory in "~/music". I have two directories, one of m4a and the other of mp3 files, but `mpc update` and `mpc listall` don't seem to do anything. Does anyone have input on fixing this?
[01:18] <Asar> hola, am getting a GPG error when attempting to update. Can a person help?
[01:18] <yeats> echo083: sorry - missed your followup
[01:18] <echo083> yeats, no problemù
[01:18] <xangua> !gpgerr | Asar
[01:19] <Asar> what is appropriate for the <key> >> field?
[01:20] <Asar> ubottu
[01:20] <butch128> Any user with "sudo" privileges seem to lock up on my machine seconds after login... ssh login is fine.  regular users are fine..
[01:21] <deitarion> Asar: ubottu is a bot.
[01:22] <deitarion> butch128: Hmm. Interesting. Can you clarify what "lock up" means? Does the mouse cursor still move? Can you switch to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1? Does the whole system lock up or can you still SSH in?
[01:23] <butch128> yes, the mouse cursor competely stops functioning
[01:23] <butch128> and no, i can't switch to a console either
[01:23] <Asar> should there be what was suggestion of ubottu within the Authentication field?
[01:23] <butch128> i log in, if i let it sit for 30 seconds, eventually its full lock.  if i load up a console, hte console will slowly stop responding, then the mouse will stop.
[01:24] <deitarion> butch128: Does SSH still work? (If it does, then your GUI is locking up. If not, then your kernel is locking up.)
[01:24] <butch128> no, ssh doesnt work after the lock-up occurs
[01:24] <yeats> Asar: the GPG error should have some clue as to what the key value is
[01:24] <butch128> but it works if i dont log-in to the gui fine
[01:24] <deitarion> butch128: Hmm. You said you've tried Xfce, KDE (Kubuntu), and GNOME+Unity (Ubuntu). Have you tried any other desktops?
[01:25] <butch128> i have a non-sudoer account that logs in and never locks up.  i gave that account sudoer privileges, now it has the same behaviour
[01:25] <amanATdesk> hi
[01:25] <Asar> yeats, so within the Authentication field insert the http://keyserver.ubuntu.com?
[01:25] <butch128> My hard drive died earlier today, luckily RAID10... and then this starts
[01:25] <deitarion> butch128: You mentioned that. What I'm trying to do is narrow down what might be reacting to the presence of sudo privileges.
[01:25] <amanATdesk> I was looking for a tutorial (or even advice) on avconv, specifically for batch converting a handful of mp3s to ogg.
[01:26] <butch128> yes... it's very perplexing...
[01:26] <amanATdesk> I want to set-up a quick and dirty slide show with music for my wife
[01:26] <yeats> Asar: no, it will be something like "437D05B5" (like in ubottu's example)
[01:26] <deitarion> butch128: Wait. Hard drive failure? RAID isn't a perfect fix. It IS possible that something went wrong in a subtle enough way to corrupt some essential piece of system software.
[01:27] <butch128> that's what i'm worried about - the array is resyncing right now
[01:27] <butch128> ooooooo
[01:27] <butch128> root@ubuntu-desktop:~# sudo aptitude update
[01:27] <butch128> E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. - Acquire (5: Input/output error)
[01:27] <butch128> i bet when it starts the update notification in the gui, that locks it
[01:28] <yeats> butch128: sounds like you need to do a fsck before proceeding
[01:28] <DubstepCraig> If I create a swap partition is it added to the same place as my physical memory for example if I only have 24GB physical RAM and I have a JVM that requires 28GB RAM it will automatically take the virtual RAM?
[01:28] <psusi> butch128, check the smart status of the reamining drives?  sounds like they have some bad sectors
[01:28] <psusi> butch128, which may also cause the resync to fail
[01:28] <OerHeks> DubstepCraig, no.
[01:28] <butch128> damn it...
[01:29] <butch128> omg... your right, 2 devices are out of the raid array now
[01:29] <psusi> DubstepCraig, yes, but swap is SLOW
[01:29] <butch128><PHONE_NUMBER> blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 near-copies [6/4] [__UUUU]
[01:29] <DubstepCraig> psusi: Even on SSD?
[01:30] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: swap on an SSD will drastically shorten the lifetime of the SSD in many usage scenarios. Better to just buy more RAM.
[01:30] <psusi> DubstepCraig, hd is like 10,000 times slower than ram... ssd maybe only 3,500 times slower... so better, but still slow
[01:30] <butch128> active raid10 sdc2[0](F) sdd2[2] sdf2[3] sde2[6](S) sda2[4] sdb2[5]
[01:30] <psusi> and yea, intensive writes wear out ssds
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> It's not my SSD
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> It's rented.
[01:30] <DubstepCraig> From OVH
[01:30] <psusi> butch128, doh... looks like you'll be restoring from backup
[01:30] <butch128> why is it no longer resyncing sdc1? thats the one that fails
[01:31] <psusi> butch128, check dmesg or /var/log/kern.log for errors... one of the remaining "good" drives probably has some bad sectors
[01:31] <deitarion> DubstepCraig: I'd be surprised if they don't have some kind of clause in your contract for people who knowingly abuse their hardware that way.
[01:31] <butch128> EXT4-fs (dm-2): Remounting filesystem read-only
[01:32] <DubstepCraig> deitarion: Meh
[01:32] <butch128> Core dump to |/usr/share/apport/apport 3600 7 0 pipe failed
[01:32] <butch128> yea...
[01:32] <psusi> butch128, lvm on top of raid10?
[01:32] <butch128> yes
[01:32] <Sire> What's the name of the command line IRC client, ircis or something?
[01:33] <deitarion> Sire: irssi is the most popular one.
[01:33] <claude2> irssi is one
[01:33] <butch128> my md0 array is still fine though...
[01:33] <psusi> Sire, I was always partial to BitchX myself, but I think irsii was another
[01:33] <Sire> psusi, irsii should be it, thanks.
[01:34] <psusi> butch128, it pays to run a SMART check of the disks periodically
[01:34] <deitarion> Sire: If it's in the Ubuntu repositories, it'd be either irssi or ircii. irsii doesn't exist.
[01:34] <ffv> anyone here?
[01:34] <deitarion> ffv: No. We're all down at the bar.
[01:34] <psusi> damn straight... except my bar is at my desk
[01:34] <butch128> clearly... so basically no way of recovering eh?
[01:35] <deitarion> Just ask your question. Don't ask to ask.
[01:35] <Sire> deitarion, there is an entry for both.
[01:35] <psusi> butch128, short of restoring from backup?  no... unless the damage is limited to just one file you can live without
[01:35] <deitarion> Sire: Yeah. irssi and ircii are different programs. I'm saying that irsii doesn't exist so you must've meant one of those two.
[01:36] <Sire> deitarion, I went and got both, irssi is the correct one.
[01:37] <butch128> 2 drives failing at the same time, bah... never would have thought
[01:37] <Sire> So, does anyone have experience getting mpd and mpc to work on Ubuntu Server over SSH with the host computer having the audio device?
[01:39] <uofm49426> is there dsl like ubuntu distro
[01:40] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:40] <fuzzynurfhurter> why would ubuntu just lag for no reason when opening anything?
[01:41] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:41] <tomas_> hello i want it to install netbeans in ubuntu what you thing ?? and how i should install i serch in internet but doesn t convence me
[01:42] <amanATdesk> hello? anyone here know how to convert mp3 files to ogg files using avconv?
[01:43] <Radiarc> I need help getting a BCM4311 wireless card working on a Dell Vostro 1400. I installed the STA driver, but it still isnt activating. Using USB wireless at the moment
[01:43] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "Ubuntu" as in the Unity desktop?
[01:44] <bazhang> !minimal | uofm49426
[01:44] <bazhang> !lubuntu > uofm49426
[01:44] <Pici> !floodbots | tomas_
[01:45] <fuzzynurfhurter> no i have the lubuntu desktop on xubuntu but when i try and open stuff sometimes it will lag then open 3 or so cause i clicked that many but it shouldnt be lagging though
[01:46] <ffv> Hello.. I am a new user to Ubuntu. I'm trying to install ubuntu next to win 7. However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation. Also, i'm using my buffalo wireless card. But I got frimware missing in my options. my wireless options
[01:46] <deitarion> ffv: Repeating yourself, trying to dominate the conversation will just get you kicked. If those of us who are at the computer don't know, we don't know.
[01:46] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/avconv.1.html amanATdesk
[01:47] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: Ahh. Latency issues. That's a tricky one and I can't really spare the time to diagnose it right now. You could experiment with the `iotop` and `latencytop` tools.
[01:47] <amanATdesk> bazhang, thanks.
[01:47] <deitarion> ffv: However, I will try to help how I can. First, could you clarify what you mean by "However in my bootloader i cAN'T find that installation."
[01:47] <amanATdesk> I just had an idea, to try and see if vlc could do it, seems to have worked, but it makes me convert them one at a time (got 7 files)
[01:47] <fuzzynurfhurter> never heard of em
[01:48] <amanATdesk> I'll go read up the link you referred to bazhang
[01:48] <bazhang> http://libav.org/avconv.html#Description amanATdesk and this too
[01:48] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "iotop" shows you a breakdown of what's busying your hard drive.
[01:48] <amanATdesk> cool, will look at both
[01:48] <amanATdesk> thanks again baz
[01:48] <amanATdesk> bazhang,
[01:48] <fuzzynurfhurter> sry deitarion i newish to linux but been workin at it lol
[01:48] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: "latencytop" shows you a breakdown of what might be taking too much of your kernel's attention in one go.
[01:49] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: No worries. A lot of people have never heard of iotop and latencytop.
[01:50] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok ok i see what u mean its like a more detail taskmanager processes type thing
[01:50] <lopsided> hey does anyone know how to force 2.0 mode on a 3.0 USB controller?  I tried disabling the xhci kernel module but then the controller does not work at all.
[01:50] <ffv> deitarion: thankyou. I have 3 installion of win7. I insalled a ubuntu copy 12.04lts under win7 using the function "...whatever...". But I can't boot it after installation
[01:51] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: Sort of. The task manager tracks CPU and memory load on average. latencytop tracks programs which cause the kernel to, in essence, become distracted, causing your desktop to potentially stutter.
[01:52] <reggal> k
[01:52] <reggal> I'll try remastering a Ubuntu Live CD then
[01:52] <reggal> !LiveCD
[01:53] <bazhang> ffv a wubi install then
[01:53] <bazhang> !wubi | ffv
[01:54] <marc_12314> not sure what to look for.. I have a raid 1 array (mdadm) with  sda1 and sdb1.  I removed sda1 physically to test how to recover the array., I plugged it back in, and was able to have my array in sync again. but my second test: I unplugged sad, rebooted, added files on sdb.  now both drives are plugged in, the MD2 array say that SDA is removed, but if I try to add it to the array, it say "mdadm: /dev/sda1 reports being an active member for
[01:54] <marc_12314> /dev/md2, but a --re-add fails."
[01:54] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok what would be something like msconfig from windows to turn some of the services off
[01:54] <deitarion> lopsided: I saw your question the first time, but I have enough USB hubs that I have yet to need to even attempt to plug anything into my USB 3.0 ports.
[01:54] <marc_12314> what am I supposed to do if I want SDA to get back in the array and sync with the new content on SDB ?
[01:55] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: Which desktop were you on again? In Lubuntu, it's Preferences > Desktop Session Settings. In other desktops, search for things like "startup", "session", or "services".
[01:56] <deitarion> fuzzynurfhurter: You usually don't need to turn off system-wide services (eg. if you've installed a web server, you probably want it running) but, if you do, then that's a different control panel.
[01:56] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok i know what ur talking about i have to clean up this linux a little too
[02:00] <lopsided> deitarion: what version are you running, I'm on 10.04
[02:01] <deitarion> lopsided: Lubuntu 12.04. I was running Gentoo on this particular box until I switched to Lubuntu 11.04 when the old motherboard died. I do have another machine which has been running Lubuntu since at least 10.04, but I don't remember what it was like.
[02:01] <lopsided> I'm trying to figure out if I should get a 3.0 hub, or try to move to 12.04 or both..  All my USBs are fried and I have to use a 3.0 expresscard (1 port) plus 2.0 hub at the moment.  BUT my wireless mouse freezes until I move it to a different port on the hub.  And I have to keep moving it every time it freezes
[02:02] <lopsided> It works when directly connected to the expresscard, albeit with some jumpiness at times.
[02:02] <deitarion> lopsided: Are you sure it's not some kind of flaw in the port itself? You did say your other ports are fried.
[02:02] <u4ia74> Hi.  I'm using a program (peazip) that lets me specify the "System Temp" directory.  Is this a system variable that points a directory or is this something specific to the /tmp directory?
[02:02] <lopsided> no this is an express card
[02:03] <deitarion> lopsided: Just making sure. I've never fried a USB port myself, so I have no clue what side-effects it may have.
[02:03] <lopsided> It works fine in windows.  this is a linux issue.  I was thinking it was the xhci driver not playing nice with 2.0 hubs
[02:04] <lopsided> It happened when I hit my laptop really hard once because of frustration.  Long story.  But it killed my USBs and my webcam
[02:04] <lopsided> Do you use a wireless mouse
[02:04] <deitarion> lopsided: No. The only wireless thing I use is my IR remote.   :-D
[02:05] <deitarion> lopsided: I have the G3 gaming mouse. Cheapest quality laser mouse I could find back around 2005/2006 when I bought this PC.
[02:06] <JohnTeddy> My flash is crashing periodically/freezing after the last chrome update from Google
[02:06] <deitarion> That is, least-expensive high-quality laser mouse.
[02:06] <lopsided> do you have any idea how I could research trying to configure the xhci driver?  i was having difficulty
[02:06] <JohnTeddy> Anyone else have this problem? on the latest ubuntu
[02:07] <deitarion> lopsided: You'd probably do the same thing I'd do. When my old mobo died, my new mobo had the same number of USB 2.0 ports PLUS another two USB 3.0 ports, so I've never tried plugging anything into them.
[02:07] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: I can check. Give me an example URL.
[02:09] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: I only use Chrome for certain tasks that Firefox can't do (like testing sites I wrote to make sure they work properly in Chrome) and I almost never go anywhere with Flash in Chrome.
[02:12] <u4ia74> Hi.  I'm using a program (peazip) that lets me specify the "System Temp" directory.  Is this a system variable that points a directory or is this something specific to the /tmp directory?
[02:13] <deitarion> u4ia74: I'd chastise you for repeating your question, but this time I actually did forget to answer. I don't use PeaZip myself, but it probably is asking you to put "/tmp" in the box.
[02:14] <JohnTeddy> deitarion: Every youtube url.
[02:14] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Ok. One sec.
[02:15] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: It's working for me right now with "Where the Hell is Matt? 2012". When did you receive this Chrome update?
[02:16] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: ...and is it the Google Chrome build or the Ubuntu-provided Chromium build? ...because I don't run Google's closed-source Chrome build ever.
[02:16] <JohnTeddy> deitarion: The google chrome
[02:17] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Can't help you then. Google's Chrome comes with a completely different Flash plugin based on a completely different API.
[02:17] <JohnTeddy> Perhaps it's because I have flashblock installed.
[02:17] <rainbowwarrior2> Hello, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a compaq cq60 laptop and my sound is no longer working, anyone got any idea how i can fix this please ?
[02:17] <JohnTeddy> I'll disable the plugin and see what happens then.
[02:18] <fourfourthree> is there a way to forward desktop notifications to growl and growl for windows?
[02:18] <deitarion> JohnTeddy: Perhaps. I suggest using Chrome's built-in ClickToPlay functionality instead. Among other things, it's safer.
[02:18] <fourfourthree> or to anywhere?
[02:18] <u4ia74> deirarion: I actually gives a drop box with three selections, for Working Directory: "Output", "System Temp", "None"  So the fact that it doesn't give me an option to specify a temp directory kind of suggests that perhaps it's a system variable that can be specified.  Limiting all temp activity to /tmp doesn't sounds terribly logical...  but I can mount the /tmp directory on a partition with more space I guess...
[02:19] <deitarion> fourfourthree: I'm not sure. I've never needed that. I can look into it but I may be a bit sluggish. If you want to search for it yourself, try using the terms "libnotify", "notification daemon" and "galago".
[02:19] <deitarion> u4ia74: Ahh, that makes more sense. Yes, it would be using /tmp. Why not just use "output"?
[02:20] <deitarion> u4ia74: (That's what the command-line zip command does. It creates the zip file with a random name and then renames it on success or deletes the partial file on failure)
[02:21] <u4ia74> The program errors out saying it's out of disk space when there is plenty, for some reason...  That's where I started.
[02:22] <deitarion> u4ia74: Hmm. What are you trying to unpack? Have you tried opening it in another tool to narrow down the possibilities?
[02:22] <u4ia74> I guess the bigger question was about whether or not a system temp directory can be specified by a system variable.
[02:23] <u4ia74> I'm actually trying to use FreeARC to do some compression.
[02:23] <u4ia74> With Peazip as the interface.
[02:23] <reggal> penis petrol
[02:24] <reggal> Are you WHEAR WEAR SCRABBLY AM LOW PAICKING!
[02:24] <xangua> !ops | reggal
[02:24] <Corey> reggal: Enough.
[02:25] <deitarion> u4ia74: That would depend on how PeaZip is coded. It may or may not support it.
[02:25] <Roga_Danar> .
[02:26] <jfcaron> I am having trouble viewing flash videos (like youtube).  I tried using the Adobe flash plugin and now gnash.    I'm using 10.04 LTS and Firefox, updated.
[02:26] <deitarion> fourfourthree: It's looking like the "network libnotify" situation is the same as it was a couple of years ago. In theory, but not much in practice. You said you wanted to send to a Growl instance?
[02:26] <echo083> i have 8.04 server i'd like to upgrade to 12.04, should i do it with two updates (8.04 => 10.04 => 12.04) or one update (8.04 => 12.04) ?
[02:26] <deitarion> jfcaron: What video drivers?
[02:26] <xangua> jfcaron: do you have both adobe and gnash plugins installed¿
[02:26] <u4ia74> Yeah, but I'l actually less interested in peazip and more interested in the question it raised.
[02:27] <jfcaron> xangua: No I removed flash entirely before installing gnash.
[02:27] <deitarion> u4ia74: About moving the system temp folder?
[02:27] <jfcaron> deitarion: How do I check that?
[02:27] <JMarceloBR> Hi folks! Need a little help, please... I'm getting a kernel BUG error that is freezing a ext4 filesystem (in this case a RAID5 device at /dev/md0). I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-41. I was told to test if the bug occurs in kernel version 3.5 (latest upstream). I installed and tried to boot my box from this kernel, but it does not find the root device. My question is: is it possible to
[02:27] <JMarceloBR> run this kernel version with the 10.04 LTS? Am I missing something?
[02:28] <u4ia74> deitarion: or specifying a system temp dir using a system variable.
[02:28] <echo083> no opinion ?
[02:28] <deitarion> echo083: I'd be very wary of doing that big an upgrade in one jump. I'm pretty sure it's not a supported option.
[02:29] <deitarion> u4ia74: You could try setting TMPDIR. The usual recommendation is to play it safe by making /tmp a symlink or `mount -o bind` remap to the new location.
[02:29] <echo083> deitarion, you think that's not even possible to upgrade from 8.04 to 12.04 ok i'll do it in two updates
[02:30] <dr_willis> make plans for a clean reinstgall - if the upgradeing fails..
[02:30] <jfcaron> deitarion: I'm using the non-fglrx Radeon driver.
[02:31] <u4ia74> deitarion: Ok thanks.  I need to go read up on system variables it seems.
[02:31] <deitarion> u4ia74: http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/407392-move-tmp-other-partition.html
[02:31] <deitarion> jfcaron: Hmm. Not something I'm personally familiar with. Give me a sec to make sure I'm not forgetting to respond to someone else and then I'll see what I can suggest.
[02:33] <HelloWorld321> will ubuntu download a video driver on its own if I turn off the box and plug in a new nVidia card? (and the old video was onboard intel video driver)
[02:34] <init[dot]d> HelloWorld321, nope
[02:34] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321:  you need to run the addational-drivers tool
[02:34] <dr_willis> may be  dialog/popup also when yoou power on the first timeprompting the download also
[02:34] <HelloWorld321> before or after installing the new card?
[02:35] <dr_willis> after
[02:35] <HelloWorld321> Groovey.  Tx.  So I'll just flip it off, plug in the new card, and then follow the prompts when I turn it back on.  I dig it.
[02:35] <deitarion> HelloWorld321: The drivers without 3D acceleration are included. It should pop up a tray notification offering new 3D-accelerated drivers automatically if they're not included.
[02:36] <dr_willis> you might  need to use thee  nomodeset option untill you  get the drivers installed.. depends on the card.
[02:40] <colin__> hi y'all
[02:40] <colin__> im new here
[02:40] <dr_willis> hello.
[02:40] <colin__> hi
[02:41] <colin__> im here from mint
[02:41] <colin__> using ubuntu 12 now
[02:41] <Roga_Danar> I just left mint for U12 as well.
[02:41] <colin__> then we  have something in common
[02:41] <Roga_Danar> Yeah, I liked Mint okay but there were a lot of compatibility issue with my hardware.
[02:41] <colin__> had a nightmare to get it running though
[02:42] <colin__> monitor is broke
[02:42] <Roga_Danar> Colin: on your laptop?
[02:42] <colin__> had to plug computer into tv, to get EDID file to work
[02:42] <colin__> desktop
[02:42] <Roga_Danar> Oh, okay.
[02:42] <colin__> was a crazy idea
[02:42] <colin__> but worked, allowing me to install graphics driver
[02:43] <Roga_Danar> Colin: Nice workaround.
[02:43] <colin__> thing is.. on mint 9/10 its ok, but 11/12 it used to flicker... something about edid checksum remainder was 17
[02:43] <Roga_Danar> Yeah, well it's always a crapshoot.
[02:44] <colin__> then someone said try ubuntu, but it also flickerd
[02:44] <colin__> just having dilemma with workspace swithcer now
[02:44] <Roga_Danar> Mint is a child of Ubuntu, so no surprises there.
[02:44] <mattalexx> I have an Ubuntu Lucid virtual machine (Virtualbox) in a Debian Squeeze guest. For some reason, the Ubuntu filesystem just suddenly went read-only. On reboot, I am dropped into a BusyBox shell. How can I fix this?
[02:45] <colin__> i used to use the cube thing
[02:45] <colin__> but i dont think its necesary now
[02:46] <blackshirt> hello
[02:46] <colin__> oh i think i get this now
[02:46] <dr_willis> cube was only necessary to impress windows users. ;)
[02:46] <colin__> yeh, well that was me
[02:46] <colin__> i see theres 4 workspaces in a squre
[02:46] <blackshroud> hi all
[02:46] <blackshirt> hi blackshroud
 cube was only necessary to impress windows users. ;)   lol
[02:47] <dr_willis> now the compiz ZOOM feature.. that was handy
[02:47] <blackshirt> Looks has similat nicks with me
[02:47] <colin__> thing is, i cant drag windows from wroskpace to workspace can i?
[02:48] <dr_willis> one tim for  12.04 ussage. - the SUPER key when held , shows a hotkey list. ;)  also check out tapping the alt key  to get into the 'HUD' ;P
[02:48] <dr_willis> colin__:  it doesnt work that way  any more by design. draggint to the edges sort of sticks/resizes to that edge now
[02:49] <dr_willis> click the workspaces icon, then you can drag windows around workspaces
[02:49] <blackshroud> hey blackshirt
[02:49] <colin__> i dont get it, wheres the icon
[02:49] <dr_willis> or rightclick, and send to another workspace
[02:49] <dr_willis> let side panel. has a workspaces/desktops icon. 4 boxs
[02:50] <dr_willis> at least mine does. ;P
[02:50] <dr_willis> or theres hotkeys to show all the workspaces.
[02:50] <colin__> i click it, it just takes me to the workspace
[02:51] <dr_willis> check out some of the USINGunity videos at youtube and otehr tutirial sites perhaps
[02:51] <colin__> dont use unity
[02:51] <colin__> i got the gnome-session-fallback thing
[02:51] <colin__> one small thing thats bothering me...
[02:52] <colin__> suppose i open firefox from panel
[02:52] <LenovoPC2342> Installed Ubuntu 12.04 (LXDE Desktop) on my Lenovo Thinkpad X61s.   Problem:  When I reboot Ubuntu, it enters the network boot (pxe??) and won't restart. Solution?
[02:52] <colin__> from top panel
[02:52] <colin__> the top of the firefox window is hidden behind the panel
[02:52] <colin__> makes it harder to move it aroun
[02:53] <bagas> ternyata masih ada jg yang pake IRC
[02:53] <lucas-arg> i cant find startup apps in gnome-shell... where or how can i enable it again?
[02:53] <JoseeAntonioR> !english | bagas

[02:54] <colin__> can anyone help me,
[02:54] <blackbear008> yes?
[02:55] <blackshroud> @colin__ what do you mean hidden behind the panel?
[02:55] <bagas> pardon me.. just say hallo for u guys
[02:55] <colin__> when i open firefox or any other app from top panel,  the top of the app, is behind the panel
[02:55] <colin__> it doesnt push it far down enough
[02:55] <blackshroud> @colin__ screenshot?
[02:55] <colin__> hold on
[02:56] <blackshirt> colin_, what the problems?
[02:56] <blackbear008> - colin__, 10:55 -
[02:56] <blackbear008> when i open firefox or any other app from top panel,  the top of the app, is behind the panel
[02:56] <colin__> i cant move the window away very easily
[02:56] <blackbear008> it doesnt push it far down enough
[02:57] <blackbear008> colin_:are you using Ubuntu12?
[02:57] <colin__> yh
[02:57] <blackbear008> snapshots.
[02:57] <blackshirt> bagas, lare pundi om?
[02:57] <blackshirt> colin_, what the problems?
[02:58] <colin__> it doesnt move it down far enough to drag about easily enough
[02:58] <colin__> where do i put pic
[02:59] <deitarion> colin__: Have you tried holding Alt and left-clicking somewhere other than the titlebar? I'm not sure about Unity, but most DEs bind that to moving windows.
[02:59] <blackbear008> any where , give us your URL.
[03:00] <OerHeks> paste image > http://imagebin.org/?page=add
[03:01] <colin__> http://imagebin.org/217417
[03:01] <colin__> there
[03:01] <dr_willis> the alt-click to  move - i belive is a feagture of X. so works in any wndow manager. at least i dont recall ever seeing it not work
[03:01] <nitrohax> after an update it didn't purge the old kernel. Had grub going crazy
[03:01] <dr_willis> i even have a similer addon for alt-click to move.. in windows. ;)
[03:02] <colin__> the only way i can move the terminal is to press on the far right away from the menus
[03:02] <OerHeks> gnome-panel ?
[03:02] <colin__> yh
[03:02] <dr_willis> could  also try fullscreening, then unfullscreening the window
[03:03] <colin__> so u donno how to change this
[03:03] <deitarion> dr_willis: It's a feature of the Window Manager. It's just a de facto standard. (You can turn it off or replace it by removing an entry from Openbox's config, for example)
[03:03] <dr_willis> i rarely have the isssue. and if it does move off screen that way. i just alt-click and drag it back
[03:04] <dr_willis> deitarion:  i seem to recall once using the alt-click to move, even without a WM. (had a crashed system with  no WM running, just X) but its been ages ago since ive lase tried..  and im getting old and senile. ;p
[03:05] <blackshroud> and yeah alt+click will move the windows
[03:05] <colin__> that CCSM thing, i cant even move it, cuz hte title bar is hidden behind panel
[03:05] <colin__> unless i mess around with stuff
[03:05] <namig> hi everyone
[03:05] <blackshroud> have you simply tried moving the panel?
[03:05] <namig> yes
[03:05] <colin__> cant i just have it appear slightly lower
[03:05] <namig> no
[03:06] <deitarion> dr_willis: It IS possible it's some kind of X feature, but given how Openbox configures it, I'm pretty sure the WM does some kind of generic "reset all" when taking over if that's the case.
[03:06] <E3D3> #ubuntu-beginners
[03:07] <blackshroud> thumbs up @E3D3
[03:07] <namig> yeah
[03:10] <E3D3> blackshroud, ?, I forgot to prepend /join, but thanks.
[03:10] <histo> Is qemu broken or did it undergo changes?
[03:10] <namig> broken
[03:10] <histo> I just installed qemu and qemu -h results in nothing.
[03:10] <histo> command not found
[03:11] <deitarion> histo: Did you try `kvm -h`?
[03:11] <bazhang> namig, hi
[03:11] <bazhang> namig, did you have an ubuntu support question
[03:11] <deitarion> histo: I think I remember the KVM branch taking over as the official QEmu. Give me a sec to reinstall it and I'll check.
[03:11] <namig> no i am just first time using irc
[03:12] <histo> deitarion: that's it
[03:12] <wingnut2626> is there support for ubuntu on android phones in here?
[03:12] <bazhang> namig, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic  ; this channel is support ONLY
[03:12] <bekor> hey all, touchy subject, and a mature of opinion,but any one like me that is not a huge unity fan running 12.04?what is your favorite alternative desktop environment for 12.04
[03:12] <colin__> i get sent a free crucial M4 128G ssd by mistake
[03:12] <namig> ok i understood
[03:12] <destination> hello
[03:12] <bazhang> bekor, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:13] <colin__> gonna keep it
[03:13] <nitrohax> bekor, i tried running compiz on the whole system. but then it crashed and i couldnt' get it to load the gui and lost everything
[03:13] <deitarion> bekor: I run LXDE because it's the lightest, fastest thing I know of that still provides a polished desktop out of the box. (More CPU and RAM for more important things)
[03:14] <bazhang> nitrohax, deitarion feel free to join him in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:14] <blackshroud> @colin__ WINNER!
[03:14] <colin__> they sent me 2
[03:14] <colin__> is unfair to take it off me now
[03:14] <deitarion> bazhang: I was actually preparing to leave for the night, but thanks.
[03:14] <bekor> i like the lxde idea compiz with cairo dock cool in that?
[03:14] <wingnut2626> i have jaunty installed on an android phone......i can add users but cannot log on as them.  is that a file permissions issue?
[03:14] <colin__> ive got used to having it around
[03:14] <bazhang> colin__, how does this relate to ubuntu support
[03:15] <deitarion> bekor: If you're going to stay, use PM.
[03:15] <colin__> because... im running ubuntu off the other ssd
[03:15] <CDrone> hi
[03:15] <dr_willis> bekor:  i think i noticed when i installed cairo dock (or was it awn) it added a session that was just COmpiz+the dock.
[03:15] <bazhang> colin__, thats hardware, nothing to do with tech support
[03:16] <colin__> didnt know this was tech support
[03:16] <colin__> thought it was ubuntu chat
[03:16] <dr_willis> See the chenel topic when joining. ;z0

[03:17] <djiefo> Hi. how to set set Rythmbox t normal after setting it to party mode?
[03:17] <CDrone> without havving to burn it onto a cd
[03:17] <CDrone> I want to run the windows installation
[03:17] <dr_willis> CDrone:  wubi.exe can be downloaded and use an iso file if both are in the same dir.
[03:17] <dr_willis> no need to mount the iso with any tools
[03:18] <CDrone> dr_willis, link please?
[03:18] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[03:18] <dr_willis> or you could copy the wubi file off the mounted iso to your hd.
[03:18] <CDrone> oh
[03:18] <dr_willis> I dont reccomend using wubi at all.  but its downloadable from the ubuntu homepage somewhere.
[03:18] <fisch246> alright my second monitor stopped being recognized. when i go into display it shows up as "unkown". it was working perfectly fine until now. what had changed was that I unplugged the monitor, and took the machine to school. now that i'm back home and it's hooked up again, it's not recognizing the monitor. i've restarted and replugged the monitor several times. i have also updated my programs several times. still no luck. any suggestions
[03:18] <fuzzynurfhurter> i wont use it
[03:19] <CDrone> dr_willis, why don't you recommend it?
[03:19] <CDrone> why not, fuzzynurfhurter?
[03:19] <dr_willis> CDrone:  its very fragile, and problematic.
[03:19] <bekor> thanks all
[03:19] <dr_willis> if i wanted to run ubuntu insode windows.. id use vbox
[03:19] <fuzzynurfhurter> easyier to just put it on a usb on go anywhere with it\
[03:19] <djiefo> Hi. how to set set Rythmbox t normal after setting it to party mode?
[03:19] <CDrone> dr_willis let me take my chances with it first, so now I should copy it from inside the iso and paste it in the same dir where the iso is, right?
[03:19] <AndChat223345> Hi,my AOC F19 LCD has a weird problem when installing and booting.installing method I use is to boot an iso with grub2 from a usb stick.It works fine on my laptop,but on my self-built desktop it ended up LCD going off,and a still running system which i figured out by the noise and lights. when I switch to another LCD,boot again and just works decently. this acciddent happens after grub2 popping out verboses ,the time which should turn to splash scre
[03:20] <dr_willis> CDrone:  or just find the wubi.exe/installer and download it. its not too large i recall.
[03:20] <OerHeks> wubi is not recommended for production work/
[03:21] <dr_willis> AndChat223345:  try the Nomodeset option?
[03:21] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[03:21] <Borillion> I seem to not be able to install libaudiofile0
[03:22] <OerHeks> djiefo, select normal/party mode from top panel, you might need F11 to disable full screen
[03:22] <Roga_Danar> Folks, as long as you are discussing Ubuntu and getting help here, don't let other users bully you into thinking that you are in the wrong channel. Certain users have been inappropriately telling folks to go to other channels.
[03:23] <CDrone> dr_willis, I don't want an encapsulated linux on that machine, I need a dual boot system, where the unix system is able to establish thousands of TCP connections ;)
[03:23] <CDrone> mwahahaha
[03:23] <Borillion> is installing repo's from oneiric so I can get libaudiofile0 ok?
[03:23] <djiefo> OerHeks,  thx
[03:23] <dr_willis> CDrone:  then i suggestg doing an actual dual boot setup. not using wubi.
[03:24] <dr_willis> !find libaudiofile0
[03:24] <CDrone> dr_willis let's just
[03:24] <CDrone> let me just try wubi first
[03:24] <CDrone> it is a time saver thingy :D
[03:24] <AndChat223345> thx!  I got the task bar  there
[03:26] <CDrone> :S
[03:26] <CDrone> i dunno

[03:26] <Borillion> thanks violinappren
[03:26] <CDrone> never installed ubuntu before
[03:26] <CDrone> but that looks like no ordinary installation wizard :S
[03:26] <Borillion> good point its 64 bit
[03:27] <mattalexx> CDrone, Are you talking about the liveCD?
[03:27] <CDrone> nope
[03:27] <CDrone> the wubi
[03:27] <CDrone> installation
[03:27] <mattalexx> You might be running Ubuntu from the CD
[03:27] <mattalexx> Ah, same type of thing
[03:27] <CDrone> oh
[03:27] <dr_willis> wubi adds items toi the  windows boot up menus.

[03:28] <Borillion> sorry lol
[03:28] <dr_willis> 'NBS' wonder what that means
[03:28] <Borillion> that was for Pangolin
[03:28] <Borillion> Not sure
[03:28] <fisch246> um... looks like i'm having monitor issues... it works with my crappier monitor, with this cable...
[03:29] <CDrone> dr_willis, no man, I burnt nothing

[03:29] <Borillion> ahh I see that its also in libc6-dev
[03:29] <CDrone> I am actually accustomed to OpenSUSE
[03:30] <CDrone> and it is no match with this graphical interface
[03:30] <CDrone> :)
[03:30] <dr_willis> cant just tell us what it means. :)
[03:30] <Borillion> I mean -udeb
[03:31] <Borillion> not built from source
[03:31] <Borillion> = NBS
[03:32] <violinappren> dr_willis: it's more or less deleted because it has been replaced by  a new  (programatically) incompatible version of the package
[03:32] <dr_willis> heh - read that nbs wiki entry.. and still confused.. :) guess the statement 'its been replaced so new stuff needs to be recompiled to use the  new version' is semi-acuragte
[03:33] <dr_willis> so in this case Maya  basically needs to be updated.  its still using the old lib.
[03:34] <dr_willis> and since maya is not from the ubuntu repos.  thats the root of the conflict
[03:34] <violinappren> dr_willis: yes, it needs to be recompiled against the new libaudio
[03:38] <brian418_> hi guys. I'm getting an E: Failed getting release file error while trying to build a ltsp client image. My browser and wget will fetch the file. Do you know if ltsp uses a different conf file? I know this is prob a ltsp type of question but not much going on over their tonight.

[03:48] <tdhz77> Has anybody ever taught themselves how to code from just tutorials online? Or is it something that requires higher education to master?
[03:49] <violinappren> tdhz77: all you need is good books, lots of practice and tons of reading/modifying others code

[03:57] <dr_willis> !backup
[03:58] <CDrone> isn't there a ""right click>> open terminal here"" thingy in ubuntu?
[03:58] <dr_willis> CDrone:  iv seen some packages in the repos that add such a feature.]
[03:59] <dr_willis> or nautilus scripts that  can do a similer thing
[04:00]  * CDrone notes that down... first ubuntu weakness recorded :P
[04:00] <dr_willis> not a ubuntu weakness at all...
[04:00] <CDrone> how to open the terminal at all,, LOL
[04:00] <CDrone> can't find it anywhere
[04:00] <CDrone> :D :D
[04:00] <dr_willis> its a feature of the file manager,  added or removed at needed
[04:01] <dr_willis> terminal? theres a hotkey combo, or tap alt and  then type 'term' and it should show up
[04:01] <CDrone> man  help me, I need bash
[04:01] <CDrone> ok let me try
[04:01] <dr_willis> or click the dash button, or add a icon to whatever panel you want.
[04:01] <dr_willis> then theres tools like guake.
[04:01] <dr_willis> !info guake
[04:02] <OerHeks> Ctrl + Alt + T works just fine
[04:02] <CDrone> where's the dash icon?
[04:02] <dr_willis> unity s big top left button. with the ubuntu logo
[04:03] <dr_willis> i tend to just use the HUD alt key..
[04:04] <CDrone> ah found it
[04:04] <violinappren> CDrone: alt + f2, type: gnome-terminal
[04:05] <CDrone> alt f2 opens that dash thingy again
[04:05] <CDrone> not bash :P
[04:05] <violinappren> CDrone: read the whole thing
[04:05] <dr_willis> thats the run somthung dialog..... so thats how its supposed to work..
[04:06] <fuzzynurfhurter> yep
[04:06] <CDrone> genome-terminal is too long to type
[04:06] <CDrone> lol
[04:06] <CDrone> but anyway
[04:06] <CDrone> i just found the terminal
[04:06] <dr_willis> alt -: 'term' enter....

[04:11] <CDrone> ok now
[04:11] <fuzzynurfhurter> i have put the wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds and it still doesnt work right
[04:11] <CDrone> where's the package manager for this thingy?
[04:11] <CDrone> what is it called?
[04:12] <fuzzynurfhurter> its in system
[04:12] <dr_willis> CDrone:  icon called 'software center' seems a good starting point...
[04:12] <fuzzynurfhurter> synapatic package manager
[04:13] <dr_willis> synaptic is not installed by default i  belive
[04:13] <dr_willis> then theres the command line tools..
[04:13] <fuzzynurfhurter> its not
[04:13] <CDrone> dr_willis, this time a found it :D thanks
[04:13] <dr_willis> 'sudo apt-get install synaptic'
[04:13]  * CDrone feels conceited
[04:13] <CDrone> lol
[04:13] <CDrone> :D
[04:14] <CDrone> command a conquer ads :O
[04:14] <CDrone> there's command and conquer for linux?
[04:14] <CDrone> wow
[04:14] <CDrone> things changed
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> nope its browser based
[04:14] <CDrone> you trolling me?
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> nope
[04:14] <Mr_MeatWad> check it out
[04:14] <dr_willis> we dont  see your screen.. so ive no idea what you are talking about
[04:15] <dr_willis> there are 'redone' versions of a lot of the  old games that run in browsers these days.
[04:15] <fuzzynurfhurter> dr_willis u know any thing about grub writing??
[04:16] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  all i know about grub i learned by reding the grub2 docs and the forum  and wiki pages on it. :) and lots of trial and  error
[04:16] <CDrone> libcrypto not found part of openssl
[04:16] <CDrone> although seemingly openssl is installe
[04:16] <CDrone> d
[04:16] <CDrone> what should i do?
[04:17] <fuzzynurfhurter> k well that helps alot still i have found some stuff but am having truble making them boot up
[04:17] <dr_willis> start by explainingg what you are trying to do.. so we dont  have to guess.
[04:18] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad, you're right man
[04:18] <CDrone> it is browser based :D
[04:18] <AndChat223345> !nomodeset
[04:18] <fuzzynurfhurter> manually configuring grub for atleast 10 linux on a flash drive
[04:18] <mi3> !kernelpanic
[04:18] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  10 iso files?
[04:18] <Mr_MeatWad> glad i could be of service
[04:19] <fuzzynurfhurter> no i mounted the iso and then pulled all the files off it to my workin folder 4 all of the 4 boot right the rest not so much
[04:20] <phillip> does anyone know about wicd
[04:20] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:  easier to have grub2 boot the iso file.
[04:20] <dr_willis> no need to extract stuff.
[04:20] <CDrone> hey
[04:20] <CDrone> i have no root account yet
[04:20] <CDrone> :S
[04:20] <CDrone> how to make one?
[04:20] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux site has tools to make multi-iso flash drives also
[04:20] <dr_willis> CDrone:  you dont need one.
[04:20] <dr_willis> !sudo | cdrom
[04:20] <CDrone> why?
[04:20] <Mr_MeatWad> lol you definitely have a root account
[04:21] <Mr_MeatWad> you just aren't using it now
[04:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> yeah but wouldnt that make it a bigger size altogether??
[04:21] <dr_willis> read sudo factoid above
[04:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> i have 10 right now that might be 7gb
[04:21] <dr_willis> fuzzynurfhurter:   why would it? if the cd is 500mb iso..then its got 500mb of data on it...
[04:21] <vibhav> CDrone: Why do you need a root account?
[04:21] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad when i try "su"  it asks for a pass, when i enter me pass,,, it rejects authentication
[04:21] <wylde_> !noroot | CDrone
[04:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> i have those yumi and enetbootin
[04:22] <dr_willis> CDrone:  you DOnt use 'su' to get to root in ubuntu.. use sudo as needed
[04:22] <uw> so to build this one thing, it says my "intltool is too old.  you need later than 0.40.0".   how would i do that?  can i use apt-get?
[04:22] <CDrone> dr_willis, why? security measures?
[04:22] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone i always use sudo -i to get pass all that junk
[04:22] <dr_willis> !sudo CDrone
[04:22] <dr_willis> !sudo
[04:22] <Mr_MeatWad> CDrone, never run anything as root purely for sec reasons
[04:23] <CDrone> dr_willis lol
[04:23] <violinappren> CDrone: sudo -i
[04:23] <dr_willis> covered on  the wiki pages in detail...
[04:23] <CDrone> guys
[04:23] <CDrone> i know what sudo is
[04:23] <CDrone> btu sometimes I need to do a lot of top level commands without having to sudo all the time
[04:23] <CDrone> takes more typing
[04:23] <Mr_MeatWad> i know what apt-get is
[04:23] <bazhang> CDrone, so stop asking us to help you enable the root account
[04:23] <violinappren> CDrone: thats what sudo -i is for
[04:23] <bazhang> CDrone, use sudo -i
[04:23] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad you have a point
[04:23] <dr_willis> CDrone:  aparently you dont use sudo enought to know abbout the 'sudo -i' option. ;)
[04:23] <CDrone> :D
[04:24] <vibhav> bazhang: Is using visudo supported here?
[04:24] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone use sudo -i then what ever u gotta do
[04:24] <CDrone> dr_willis, you're right :D lol *embarrassed *
[04:24] <CDrone> :D
[04:24] <bazhang> CDrone, its not supportedd, stop asking
[04:24] <CDrone> ok
[04:24] <CDrone> I am sorry
[04:24] <CDrone> won't speak about su in this channel again
[04:24] <CDrone> :)
[04:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> they dont like it i already tried cdrone lol
[04:25] <dr_willis> su to switch to another USer  does work.. but its not for switching to root.
[04:25] <CDrone> fuzzynurfhurter LOL
[04:25] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok on others its su
[04:25] <Mr_MeatWad> you know i should really learn all the bash commands
[04:25] <Mr_MeatWad> but im lazy
[04:26] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad, ME TOO
[04:26] <CDrone> :D
[04:26] <dr_willis> or learn the 10% you will actually use...
[04:26] <CDrone> well
[04:26] <Mr_MeatWad> probably just the 5% a lazy ass like me will use
[04:26] <CDrone> i know 50% of what I actually use :P
[04:26] <CDrone> Mr_MeatWad EXACTLY
[04:26] <CDrone> LOL
[04:26] <CDrone> we think alike man
[04:26] <fuzzynurfhurter> cdrone it gets easyier with that command lol
[04:26] <vibhav> !offtopic | CDrone Merwin
[04:26] <bazhang> !enter | CDrone
[04:27]  * CDrone puts his hands over his head
[04:27] <CDrone> ok man
[04:27] <Mr_MeatWad> kinda like how i was supposed to learn all the dos commands
[04:27] <Mr_MeatWad> and learned maybe four of them
[04:27] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, thats enough
[04:27] <KRomeleoN> sooooooo
[04:28] <fuzzynurfhurter> lmao meatwad i bout done forgot most of those
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> bazhang, enough of what sir?
[04:28] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, enough chit chat. this is support only
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> yeah i pretty much just remember ipconfig
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> and cd
[04:28] <fuzzynurfhurter> lmao me 2
[04:28] <Mr_MeatWad> yeah we are talking about dual booting windows in dos
[04:29] <Mr_MeatWad> and what commands we actually remember
[04:29] <KRomeleoN> dir/w/p
[04:29] <bazhang> thats nothing to do with ubuntu support
[04:29] <fuzzynurfhurter> cd
[04:29] <Mr_MeatWad> it could
[04:30] <Mr_MeatWad> i could load up a vm of windows and see if i can forward my ports to it through a ubuntu server
[04:30] <KRomeleoN> what backup services work with deja dup other than ubuntu one and dropbox?
[04:30] <kosko> so aptitude is an apt-get wrapper?
[04:30] <Mr_MeatWad> can you tell me how to do that bazhang?
[04:30] <bazhang> Mr_MeatWad, do what
[04:31] <mi3> !64bit
[04:31] <dr_willis> kosko:  front end to dpkg i think is more accurate
[04:31] <Mr_MeatWad> load up a virtual machine of windows on a ubuntu server and forward the ports through my system to the windows system
[04:31] <fuzzynurfhurter> what is a good desktop app to change the background and all??
[04:31] <kosko> dr_willis: and apt-get is a front end to dpkg too?
[04:31] <Mr_MeatWad> and tell me how i would set up windows to recieve http through a different port
[04:31] <dr_willis> Mr_MeatWad:  many vm's can be set to appear on  tehlocal lan as a real machine. no need to forwared ports. they have a ip on the same as any other box would.
[04:31] <Mr_MeatWad> in dos that is
[04:32] <dr_willis> kosko:  basicaally
[04:32] <KRomeleoN> what backup services work with deja dup other than ubuntu one and dropbox?
[04:32] <Mr_MeatWad> yeah but i wanted to host on the windows vm
[04:32] <kosko> dr_willis: thanks
[04:32] <Mr_MeatWad> so i will definitely need to forward ports
[04:33] <dr_willis> if the  VM appears on the local lan as a real box.. the router can just forwared to its ip. no need for the host to handle the forwarding
[04:34] <Mr_MeatWad> doesn't show
[04:34] <Mr_MeatWad> dont want to set up nat on it
[04:34] <Mr_MeatWad> i could but everytime i do it basically locks the whole net up
[04:35] <dr_willis> KRomeleoN:  theres some  fuse tools and other ways to have some of those cloud storage services appear as a local directory you could backup to. depending on what one you want to use
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> i want the home folder to get backed up weekly
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> i want to use amazon cloud
[04:36] <dr_willis> backed up to where?
[04:36] <KRomeleoN> but i dont think i can with that service
[04:37] <fuzzynurfhurter> would iotop be a good thing??
[04:38] <Corey> fuzzynurfhurter: In what sense?
[04:38] <MonkeyDust> KRomeleoN  you can use cron to backup weekly
[04:39] <Guest1> Anybody here?
[04:39] <fuzzynurfhurter> to find out what is running in processes
[04:39] <witeshark> how can I restore the system menu in 11.10 w/unity?

[04:41] <MonkeyDust> witeshark  yes, but that's not the correct commad, moment
[04:42] <MonkeyDust> witeshark  this resets compiz to defaults gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
[04:42] <bazhang> !ot | mr0wl

[04:46] <Guest1> Thank you everybody. But now I'm even more confused. I have 2GB of ram. and a 2.14GHZ processer, why is ubuntu running slowly?
[04:47] <Guest1> The installation said it needed 17GB, and the partition I have it had 31GB
[04:47] <MonkeyDust> Guest1  make sure you don't have too many kernels installed in /
[04:47] <linux_is_my_hero> how to i permanantly reassign keyboard keys in ubuntu?
[04:47] <bazhang> Guest1, whats the video card with that
[04:47] <linux_is_my_hero> i can do it temporarily using xmodmap but how do i make it stay for good?
[04:48] <Guest1> I'd have to look that up. Its the onboard video.
[04:48] <vibhav> linux_is_my_hero: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys
[04:49] <vibhav> linux_is_my_hero: Look at the first answer

[04:50] <linux_is_my_hero> vibhav: THANKS! :-)
[04:50] <witeshark> MonkeyDust, do i have to log out and back?
[04:50] <vibhav> linusable: np
[04:50] <uw> hi trying to build something and it quit with "Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.40.0 or later."   how can i upgrade my intltool?  apt-get?
[04:50] <bazhang> uw what version of ubuntu
[04:51] <uw> lts 10.04
[04:51] <phanimahesh> probably unrelated, but can I block these joined, away, and quit messages from appearing? Using empathy.
[04:51] <MageofHope> anybody here know how to downgrade an ubuntu package from 12.04's version to 11.10's?
[04:51] <MageofHope> uTouch, specifically
[04:51] <MageofHope> is what i want to downgrade
[04:51] <Guest1> bazhang i'm brand new to linux, and have no idea what lspci is, or the terminal. Literally just started 4 hours ago
[04:51] <MageofHope> I tacked this earlier but saw no simple why to do it
[04:51] <uw> bazhang, 2.6.32-37-generic
[04:52] <vibhav> Guest1: In a terminal, type "lspci"
[04:52] <yeats> Guest1: do Ctrl-Alt-T to open a terminal window
[04:52] <dr_willis> !tterminal
[04:52] <vibhav> Guest1: And paste the output it gives to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[04:52] <bazhang> Guest1, control alt T to get the terminal then type lspci , open a browser like firefox to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there, save and give us the url here
[04:52] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: http://askubuntu.com/a/138327/45659
[04:52] <dr_willis> !terminal
[04:53] <fuzzynurfhurter> help
[04:53] <bazhang> uw what are building that needs that
[04:53] <fuzzynurfhurter> dam didnt work
[04:53] <bazhang> fuzzynurfhurter, with what
[04:53] <MageofHope> phanimahesh: wouldn't i need to uninstall the package i want to install, first?
[04:53] <Guest1> ah, ok. I'll have to be a minute then, because linux was so slow it was unusable. I'm on windows XP right now. Let me write this down, and i'll be back in a bit
[04:53] <fuzzynurfhurter> nothing
[04:53] <MageofHope> because trying to uninstall utouch made the terminal try to uninstall Unity completely
[04:53] <uw> bazhang, deadbeef-0.5.5
[04:54] <MageofHope> I have Gnome 3 as my desktop install so I could do it as a last recourse though
[04:54] <phanimahesh> MageofHope:  May be supply --reinstall to apt-get.
[04:54] <uw> bazhang, http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/
[04:54] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: apt-get install --reinstall utouch=<ver>
[04:54] <MageofHope> mmmkay, thank you
[04:55] <bazhang> phanimahesh, there is no downgrade of packages between versions
[04:55] <phanimahesh> bazhang: between versions??
[04:55] <dr_willis> shouldent that be   between 'releases'
[04:56] <dr_willis> ie: 11.10 to 12.04
[04:56] <bazhang> phanimahesh, he wants to downgrade to the 11.10 version he's now on 12.04
[04:56] <MonkeyDust> darn pc
[04:56] <phanimahesh> ok, then that may be a problem.
[04:56] <dr_willis> the 11.10 release version
[04:57] <phanimahesh> bazhang: but if the version is in his repositories, it should go fine I believe.
[04:57] <bazhang> phanimahesh, he would not have repos for 11.10 with 12.04
[04:57] <brettJames_> Hello could someone please tell me how you would recommend installing ubuntu on a custom built windows machine with Windows 7 and the Main OS. I have 2 more completely empty hard drives would you just pick one and install on it?
[04:57] <phanimahesh> got the point.
[04:57] <phanimahesh> brettJames_: yup. Install onto one of those empty ones.
[04:58] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  thats how i normally do it. I evven put the grub loader on the dedicated linux hard drive. that way the windows hd stays toally untouched.
[04:58] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  it just installs alongside windows, installer does it for you
[04:58] <vibhav> bazhang: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1053707/
[04:58] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  then you set the bios to boot that linux hd
[04:58] <bazhang> vibhav, whats that
[04:58] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  be sure to put grub on  the linux hd- not the windows one - if you wan tto do it that way. ;)
[04:58] <brettJames_> Yeah
[04:58] <brettJames_> thats what happened to me last time
[04:58] <brettJames_> it messed with my windows
[04:58] <brettJames_> how do you put the grub load on that hd?
[04:59] <dr_willis> grub on the windows hd shouldlent really affect anything
[04:59] <dr_willis> the insrtaller asks where to put it... at the  end
[04:59] <brettJames_> yeah but id rather not lol
[04:59] <brettJames_> oh it does ok
[04:59] <MonkeyDust> !install| brettJames_ read this
[04:59] <dr_willis> rember to tell it like sdb. not sdb1
[04:59] <brettJames_> Installing alongside of windows is there any downside?
[05:00] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  no, it's the normal way
[05:00] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  thats the normal way to install ubuntu for dual booting
[05:00] <brettJames_> oh lol
[05:00] <phanimahesh> brettJames_: None.
[05:00] <brettJames_> ok and then a simple add/remove programs and its completely gone?
[05:00] <brettJames_> not a single trace?
[05:00] <dr_willis> downside = you still have windows installed
[05:00] <brettJames_> HAHAHAHAHA
[05:00] <ki4ro> brettJames_: I ran Ubuntu alongside Windows for about 6 months with no problems
[05:00] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  no, that's wubi, you don't want that
[05:00] <phanimahesh> brettJames_: what?? add/remove??
[05:00] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  windows dosent see the linux install...
[05:00] <Mr_MeatWad> hey guys why should i install ubuntu server and my server instead of the desktop version if they can both run the same programs?
[05:00] <fuzzynurfhurter> onlyif u uninstall it wontlet u into windows if its dual boot
[05:01] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  you are confuseing wubi with a 'dual boot along side install'
[05:01] <brettJames_> Hmm.. it says right on the site that you can uninstall it through add remove programs
[05:01] <brettJames_> if you do the alongside of windows way
[05:01] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  thats the wubi docs....
[05:01] <phanimahesh> Mr_MeatWad: Server is better if you intend to use it as a server. It runs little lightweight.
[05:01] <dr_willis> the use of your term 'alongside' is getting messed up
[05:01] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  yes, that's wubi, inside windows, not alongside it
[05:01] <brettJames_> ohh ok
[05:02] <brettJames_> so do not install it inside of windows? with that easy installer? Instead you recommend downloading and burning to a CD
[05:02] <brettJames_> right
[05:02] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  wubi means Will Ultimatley Be Inconsistent
[05:02] <fuzzynurfhurter> i thought that was dual booting
[05:02] <Mr_MeatWad> okay it really just boils down to resource consumption?
[05:02] <vibhav> bazhang: version of intltool in different ubuntu series
[05:02] <brettJames_> got it
[05:02] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  wubi installs INSIDE windows.. and it  is flakey
[05:02] <brettJames_> sorry I mixed that up
[05:02] <brettJames_> thats what I mean't
[05:02] <dr_willis> and it wont use the other hd like a normal install
[05:02] <brettJames_> i heard it is flakey so I was asking. I didn't mean to call it alongside tho
[05:03] <fuzzynurfhurter> bret put it on a flash drive
[05:03] <brettJames_> got it so I should just install it on one of my separate hard drives
[05:03] <brettJames_> ive done this before and I had so many boot issues
[05:03] <brettJames_> my hard drive letters got all messed up or something lol
[05:03] <dr_willis> ive dont  it 1000;s of times  with no boot issues.. ;)
[05:03] <Mr_MeatWad> phanimahesh,  so the only difference is the size and how their resource consumption?
[05:03] <brettJames_> ahaha I think it was after uninstalling
[05:04] <dr_willis> windows wont see the  hd.. so no letters...
[05:04] <brettJames_> or reformatting the HDD
[05:04] <brettJames_> oh alright
[05:04] <vibhav> uw: 10.04 has intltool version 0-41.0-1ubuntu1 you probably need to upgrade
[05:04] <brettJames_> When installing it will give me the option to completely clear the HD I am installing it on right?
[05:04] <MageofHope> woops my window didnt scroll down
[05:05] <phanimahesh> Mr_MeatWad: Kind of yes. They both use same repositories. And you can install a meta-package ubuntu-desktop to convert a server into desktop.
[05:05] <MageofHope> would it be inadvisable for me to add 11.10's repos to 12.04 in order to downgrade?
[05:05] <xangua> MageofHope: no
[05:05] <dr_willis> brettJames_:  i partition  thehd befor i  stgart the instfaller with gparted. then tell the instgaller exactly what partitons to use for / and /home/ and  swap  normally.. that  way im sure its going where i want
[05:05] <bazhang> MageofHope, yes. dont do it
[05:05] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: I suggest against it.
[05:05] <dr_willis> MageofHope:  thats one wya to totally trash tghe system
[05:05] <MageofHope> Mmmkay, I figured as much but I thought I may as well ask
[05:05] <MageofHope> So I suppose I'm out of options in this case? :/
[05:05] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: Glad you asked. :D :P
[05:06] <Mr_MeatWad> hmmm i think i might just use the desktop version for my server just cause i think it looks prettier than the command line
[05:06] <KRomeleoN> why downgrade?
[05:06] <brettJames_> Thanks for all of the help guys I think I am going to Dual Boot since my SSD has only 30GB left on it
[05:06] <MageofHope> Because touchegg won't work for the newest version of uTouch
[05:06] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: may be reinstall Ubuntu, though i suggest against it.
[05:06] <MageofHope> come to think of it, Unity's inherent mouse gestures seem to be broken for it as well
[05:06] <dr_willis> there maybe PPA's for utouch that fix the  issues
[05:06] <MageofHope> yeah it's not worth THAT much, I just wanted to get touchegg working
[05:07] <MageofHope> Nope, i have uTouch's PPA
[05:07] <phanimahesh> MageofHope: look for ppas, file a bug..
[05:07]  * dr_willis has no idea what a touchegg even is... sounds./ err... perverted
[05:07] <MageofHope> the issue is that Ubuntu 12.04's utouch changed it's API, and touchegg hasnt had the time to catch up
[05:07] <phanimahesh> there can be multiple ppas.
[05:07] <MageofHope> it's a documented issue
[05:07] <Guest1> Ok i'm back.
[05:07] <phanimahesh> dr_willis: :P
[05:07] <MageofHope> uh, its a configuration software
[05:07] <MonkeyDust> !info utouch
[05:07] <MageofHope> to enable/configure multi touch features on laptops with trackpads
[05:08] <Guest1> apperently I cant even get into ubuntu now. It just gives me a blank purple screen as it tries to load
[05:08] <MageofHope> it uses uTouch to configure those features. It worked for Ubuntu 11.10 but apparently the developer hasnt had time to update it to 12.04
[05:08] <phanimahesh> Guest1: did you try tty?
[05:08] <MageofHope> and there's no clear release date for such an update
[05:08] <vibhav> Guest1: HAve you installed any video driver?
[05:08] <uw> vibhav, do you how i can upgrade intltool?
[05:09] <thatsachop> im in gedit. i save as .sh but when i try to run it through the terminal i keep getting no file or directory
[05:09] <uw> know how*
[05:09] <phanimahesh> Guest1: also try hitting esc when the purple loading screen shows up. It'll then show messages..
[05:09] <dr_willis> thatsachop:  make it executable and give the  full path to the sh file  ./foo.sh
[05:09] <Guest1> no messages, just a blank purple screen, and it never goes anywhere from there
[05:09] <aum__> how can i install kernel source (headers), i have installed 'build-essential' package.
[05:09] <MonkeyDust> MageofHope  https://launchpad.net/utouch
[05:10] <dr_willis> !headers
[05:10] <Guest1> The only video driver is the same thats always been on this computer. I got into ubuntu fine the first time, but apperently no more
[05:10] <vibhav> uw: sudo apt-get install intltool
[05:11] <vibhav> Guest1: Do you the name of your graphics card?
[05:11] <Guest1> I'm on my laptop now, so I can be on ubuntu on my PC, and also be in this chat
[05:11] <thatsachop> dr_willis <3
[05:11] <MageofHope> MonkeyDust: Um? I'm confused?
[05:11] <Guest1> there is no graphics card, just onboard video
[05:11] <MageofHope> I have this ppa installed already, i'm pretty sure. unless this one is specifically for 11.10 or something?
[05:12] <vibhav> Guest1: What is the name of your onboard video card>
[05:12] <niocora> Guest1: What MoBo?
[05:12] <vibhav> ?
[05:12] <MonkeyDust> niocora  motherboard
[05:12] <crackerjackz> i'm  trying to get dual display working but when i go to system > prefrences > monitors it only shows my laptops display, i'm trying to use my tv as a display using vga cable
[05:12] <niocora> Yes.
[05:12] <niocora> What is it's name?
[05:12] <dr_willis> onboard video.. is stilla graphics card. :)
[05:12] <Guest1> I'd have to go back into windows to check, I know its nvidea something
[05:12] <Guest1> going back into windows now
[05:12] <vibhav> sigh, ncvidia
[05:12] <crackerjackz> Guest1, nah
[05:12] <MonkeyDust> MageofHope  there you find the latest info about utouch
[05:12] <crackerjackz> wait
[05:12] <crackerjackz> Guest1,
[05:13] <vibhav> nvidia*
[05:13] <crackerjackz> type lspci in a terminal
[05:13] <MageofHope> ok, thanks
[05:13] <vibhav> crackerjackz: He cannot access ubuntu, how can he access the terminal?
[05:13] <crackerjackz> vibhav, ahhhh i wasn't aware i just got here
[05:13] <niocora> Safe mode?
[05:13] <Guest1> crackerjackz I cant even get into ubuntu. It loads a purple blank screen, and thats as far as I get
[05:13] <dr_willis> !text
[05:13] <crackerjackz> Guest1, when trying to boot from the live cd?
[05:13] <dr_willis> guest1 tryed the  nomode option yet?
[05:14] <crackerjackz> Guest1, or try loading it with noacpi
[05:14] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[05:14] <Guest1> No, this is a 30GB partition, and it takes up 17GB of that
[05:14] <Guest1> I'm not sure what nomode or noacpi are
[05:14] <crackerjackz> dr_willis, can you help me figure out how to get my tv working as a display?
[05:15] <niocora> Guest1: Have you installed ubuntu?
[05:15] <crackerjackz> when i go to system > preferences > monitors.... it only shows my laptops display
[05:15] <crackerjackz> how do i get my tv to show up in system > preferences > monitors ?
[05:15] <crackerjackz> i have a vga cable going from my computer to my tv and i have my tv on input "pc"
[05:16] <crackerjackz> i can hear the audio.. but no display
[05:16] <Guest1> niocora yes, just today. It let me in once, and then it was unusably slow. So I went back to windows tried searching for the problem, and now it wont even let me in
[05:16] <MonkeyDust> crackerjackz  explore mythtv
[05:16] <niocora> crackerjack: Use your drivers settings?
[05:16] <vibhav> crackerjackz: What audio can you here
[05:16] <crackerjackz> vibhav, im trying to play a movie on tv for my friend so i hear the audio from the movie im trying to play
[05:16] <niocora> Guest1: Have you got an option to boot safe mode when your computer first starts?
[05:17] <crackerjackz> niocora, where do i find that at?
[05:17] <Guest1> safe mode for windows, or ubuntu?
[05:17] <niocora> When your computer first starts up after the BIOS.
[05:17] <niocora> ubuntu.
[05:18] <niocora> Guest1: You should have a list of OS's to boot and can swap between them with the arrow keys.
[05:18] <Guest1> niocora I only saw Windows XP Home Editition and Ubuntu.
[05:19] <niocora> Are you sure those are the only two?
[05:19] <Guest1> Yes
[05:19] <vibhav> Guest1: You are still on the boot screen?
[05:19] <vibhav> Boot Selection*
[05:19] <niocora> Guest1: When your computer first starts press down on the keyboard to stop the timer.
[05:19] <crackerjackz> niocora, do you think rebooting will do any good? maybe the OS will detect my tv as a monitor if i have the vga cable plugged in as it's booting up?
[05:19] <Guest1> And heres the weird thing, it doesnt wait for you. If you dont move the arrows right away, it boots into windows
[05:20] <vibhav> Guest1: Yeah, thats called timeout
[05:20] <Guest1> It gives you about 1 second to move them
[05:20] <niocora> crackerjackz: You should be using your driver options first.
[05:20] <crackerjackz> niocora, where do i find that at?
[05:20] <niocora> nvidia or AMD?
[05:20] <crackerjackz> niocora, nvidia
[05:20] <Guest1> vibhav, I can go back to it once I look up my onboard video
[05:21] <niocora> Search for noveou.
[05:21]  * niocora probably spelt that wrong.
[05:21] <aeon-ltd> nouveau
[05:21] <noffle> nouveau
[05:21]  * niocora prefers AMD.
[05:21] <crackerjackz> i see something called nvidia x server settings?
[05:21] <aeon-ltd> ...
[05:21] <niocora> That one.
[05:21] <crackerjackz> in system preferances
[05:22] <niocora> You should have an option for multiple moniters in there.
[05:22] <Guest1> ok, my display adaptor is Geforce4 MX Integrated GPU
[05:23] <crackerjackz> niocora, thank you so much!
[05:23] <crackerjackz> it worked
[05:23] <niocora> YAY!
[05:24] <Guest1> Ok, now i'm going back to the OS select screen
[05:24] <niocora> Guest1: Press down as soon as you can.
[05:25] <Guest1> Ok, now i'm at the OS Select screen
[05:26] <niocora> Do you see an option for editing anything?
[05:26] <Guest1> niocora should I just choose ubuntu, or is there something else I should be doing at this screen
[05:26] <niocora> Something else.
[05:27] <niocora> Guest1: You might have to press e or one of the functions.
[05:27] <Guest1> no, I see Windows XP Home Edition and Ubuntu. I can also press F8 for troubleshooting windows, but nothing relating to ubuntu
[05:28] <Guest1> so, I should highlight ubuntu and press E?
[05:28] <niocora> Nothing at the bottom of the screen?
[05:28] <niocora> Guest1: I am not sure if it actually is e.
[05:28] <Guest1> just the part about F8 for troubleshooting windows
[05:28] <neo1691> hi, I tried installing apache server 2 and php 5.4 on 12.04 x64 desktop, and I think I messed up. Can i just delete the installation folders and start over again?? Is there a command to remove both of them so that i can try reinstalling them?
[05:28] <niocora> I don't remember.
[05:28] <uw> vibhav, thanks i was thinking it was apt-get upgrade intltool
[05:29] <Transform> Hi
[05:29] <Transform> I am using Ubuntu 12.04
[05:29] <Transform> and have strange issue
[05:29] <niocora> Guest1: Try pressing e while ubuntu is highlighted.
[05:29] <Guest1> nothing happened......should I press e then enter?
[05:30] <niocora> Guest1: And if that does nothing try F2
[05:30] <Transform> While using Chrome / firefox  , My downloads are running , but sometimes when try to visit any page it says to me that "The webpage is not available"  ?
[05:30] <Guest1> e did nothing, F2 did nothing
[05:30] <niocora> Guest1: You _shouldn't_ have to press enter.
[05:30] <Transform> What should i do to FIX it ....?
[05:30] <Degot> Hi ,All.. I've installed VirtualBox 4.1.12 to Ubuntu 12.04... But there is no /etc/init.d/vboxweb-servcie script. How to fix it ?
[05:31] <Guest1> theres no harm in pressing every letter then, you say you cant remember if it was e
[05:31] <Silversong> Hey, I am going to China in about two weeks. Anyone know how to get past the Great Firewall of China on my Ubuntu? :3
[05:31] <Guest1> let me pull up a website on this laptop so I can share a link
[05:32] <lsv> Silversong: tor?
[05:32] <shadykhan> why doesnt the ubuntu skype have spell check?
[05:32] <Silversong> I would hate to be censored from my freedom of access.
[05:32] <Silversong> lsv: tor?
[05:32] <root> well you can see that now
[05:32] <root> mt
[05:32] <Degot> Silversong: httptunnel ?
[05:33] <MonkeyDust> Silversong  Anonymous
[05:33] <Silversong> Okay obviously I've not heard of any of these programs. I'll check them out. Thanks :)
[05:33] <lsv> Silversong: www.torproject.org
[05:33] <Silversong> lsv: Thanks. I'm looking at it right now.
[05:33] <Silversong> MonkeyDust: Yeah, I know I have to go anonymous.
[05:34] <MonkeyDust> Silversong  that's not what i meant ;)
[05:34] <Silversong> Oh
[05:34] <lsv> Silversong: np
[05:34] <Silversong> I'll check out tor first
[05:37] <Silversong> Hmm. Tor may be problematic.
[05:37] <Silversong> Because it won't support plug-ins.
[05:37] <Silversong> I need YouTube :|
[05:38] <Silversong> HTTPTunnel seems it's for PCs.
[05:39] <innociv> I'm using monit and is >% cpu trigger per core or not?
[05:39] <Silversong> MonkeyDust: Were you talking about a program named Anonymous?
[05:40] <JohnTeddy> My volume control is no longer working.
[05:40] <JohnTeddy> How can I fix it?
[05:40] <Silversong> Try restart first? xD
[05:40] <skpl> can someone help me? i installed gnome-shell and now when i try to login using compiz as the manager it says i cant use special effects because mutter is running.
[05:41] <MonkeyDust> JohnTeddy  open a terminal and type alsamixer, see if you find something, MM means mute
[05:42] <xangua> skynix: yes gnome-shell uses mutter, if you want to use compiz stick with unity or you can try also with gnome fallback mode
[05:45] <skynix> xangua: ?
[05:45] <skynix> i think you seleckt the wrong name... :-)
[05:45] <skynix> np
[05:46] <grendal> god i hate unity...and gnome3
[05:47] <grendal> im praying by the way...
[05:47] <niocora> I like unity.
[05:47] <grendal> damn unity...
[05:47] <shadykhan> grendal, xfce
[05:47] <grendal> im the damner for my church
[05:47] <shadykhan> unity isnt bad it just wish i could move it to the bottom of my screen
[05:47] <grendal> its my job to damn things
[05:47] <grendal> if you hear me working pay attention cause whatever im damning is probably evile on a biblical level
[05:48] <grendal> i have netbook
[05:48] <MonkeyDust> shadykhan  you can, moment
[05:48] <grendal> openvpn dialogbox does not fit on the screen
[05:49] <grendal> i cant see the buttons at the botom of the screen
[05:49] <grendal> with old gnome, and compiz i could zoom out of the desktop and move the window so it was up on the screen where i could see them buttons
[05:50] <MonkeyDust> shadykhan  sorry, howto page no longer exists
[05:50] <grendal> any advise?
[05:50] <shadykhan> :(
[05:50] <shadykhan> MonkeyDust,  there was a way in 11.10 but in 12.04 it didnt work anymore
[05:50] <MonkeyDust> shadykhan  idd
[05:51] <grendal> will the compiz manager work with this shit
[05:52] <brettJames_> Why does this have to be so complicated for me haha I have Windows 7 on my 128GB SSD and I have a 1TB HD for Storage, but I also have a 1.5TB HD that I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 on. I burnt the disc.
[05:53] <shadykhan> brettJames_, what are you getting stuck on
[05:53] <brettJames_> should I do something to my 1.5TB hard drive before I go with the install?
[05:53] <shadykhan> if you want
[05:53] <shadykhan> are you used to ubuntu
[05:53] <brettJames_> because when I go to advanced mode I can't even select the hard drive and install
[05:53] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  that's called 'learning', soemthing you had to do with other OSs, too
[05:53] <shadykhan> or are you trying it out?
[05:53] <brettJames_> I used it before
[05:53] <brettJames_> but on the same hard drive as windows when it was my only HD
[05:53] <grendal> if i had to choose i would go with gnome3 to be honest...but when i connect my extra screen to my netbook..it runs so damn slow its pathetic
[05:54] <brettJames_> I can't find a good tutorial anywhere on how to install it on a separate HD from windows
[05:54] <grendal> and actually the ONLY thing that really runs well in that situation is gnome classic
[05:54] <MonkeyDust> <3 gnome classic
[05:55] <skpl> how can i stop mutter from running at startup?
[05:55] <brettJames_> When the screen comes up to install alongside of windows, or clear windows and install, or Other Options.  As of now it is a formatted 1 partition empty HD
[05:57] <brettJames_> is that the best way to start or should I format it again and name it Ubuntu or something
[05:57] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  no, it's not like that, start with the live cd
[05:57] <brettJames_> yeh I'm gonna try again
[05:57] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  and use gparted when you're there, to get a idea about partition
[05:57] <brettJames_> the list of options confuses the living shit out of me lol
[05:58] <brettJames_> alright
[05:58] <brettJames_> I'm going to try again
[05:58] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  you're learning soemthing new :)
[05:58] <brettJames_> Yeah im hoping I learn it without touching my 128 SSD with Windows 7 on it
[05:58] <brettJames_> and erasing it
[05:58] <MageofHope> Sorry to ask so many questions here but I'm really stumped trying to get this to work :c
[05:59] <brettJames_> One time when I was playing around with all of this I booted my computer and got a GRUB error
[06:00] <MageofHope> I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y570 with a multitouch trackpad. Basically, I have two finger horizontal scrolling, but three fingers and up doesn't seem to work. I'd like to be able to use pinching and three/four finger taps, but there doesn't seem to be any way to enable those features
[06:00] <MageofHope> not even in Unity, which is supposed to have native support for them, apparently?
[06:00] <phanindraramesh>  In the kate editor when I select some lines in a text file, the lines to be highlighted are going invisible. I think may the highlight colour of kate is set to white. How can I change that?
[06:00] <MageofHope> Basically what I'm asking is, does anyone know of other ways to configuring touchpads
[06:00] <niocora> phanindraramesh: Manually edit your color theme.
[06:01] <MonkeyDust> MageofHope  there's this (2009!!) http://agoranetbook.kayno.net/2009/10/06/touchpad-configuration-for-ubuntu-9-10-grub-2/
[06:04] <adam__> !nounity
[06:05] <lopsided> MageofHope: http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/touchpad-linux perhaps your laptop vendor can assist?
[06:07] <Nom-> Hey guys... how do I disable the graphical splash screen (the ubuntu with dots) on 12.04 server?
[06:07] <niocora> Nom-: Edit your kernel line?
[06:08] <nocturnal_> If i'm running ubuntu server and type startx does that just start x without a wm?
[06:08] <Nom-> niocora: That used to work, but precise doesn't have 'slpash' in the kernel line like older versions
[06:08] <niocora> nosplash?
[06:08] <MageofHope> lopsided: this is...interesting, but how would I..install it? I mean I think Ubuntu comes with a synaptic driver, so doesn't this come by default?
[06:09] <MageofHope> also weirdly, I installed synaptiks config and it wont..start up
[06:09] <MageofHope> it crashes
[06:09] <nocturnal_> does anyone use ubuntu server?
[06:10] <grendal> ya gnome classic works
[06:10] <grendal> its straight up the shiznit
[06:10] <Nom-> niocora: I'll try it :)
[06:10] <Nom-> Can't seem to find it documented though
[06:10] <niocora> Ubuntu might not have it.
[06:11] <Nom-> awesome nosplash does work
[06:11] <Nom-> *adds to preseed file*
[06:12] <niocora> Nom-: It was either that or quietsplash.
[06:12] <Nom-> hmm actually... i still get the ubuntu 12.04 once the boot process finishes
[06:12] <Nom-> Something must kick in still and bring that up, but at least I get some verbosity now
[06:14] <grendal> what happens if i just install the gnome desktop now..not gnome-shell but the goold ol gnome package?
[06:14] <chu> You might want gnome-panel instead.
[06:14] <chu> !nonunity
[06:14] <MonkeyDust> grendal  it's called fallback, i use it, it looks like gnome2
[06:14] <grendal> the package is fallback?
[06:14] <niocora> !unity
[06:14] <chu> !nounity
[06:15] <grendal> ya MonkeyDust i have that installed
[06:15] <GeekAdmin> is there a way to automate the mouse?automate GUI (cant do what I want from terminal)
[06:16] <grendal> but like..i cant put launchers on the desktop anymore?  wtf?
[06:16] <MonkeyDust> grendal  logout, select classic, login
[06:16] <grendal> my mother is going to be pissed.  dude im telling you ive tried that.
[06:17] <niocora> GeekAdmin: What do you want to do?
[06:17] <grendal> i get these funky shortcut looking things that complain about it not being an authorized launcher (or something crazy like that)
[06:17] <GeekAdmin> niocora:  automate the mouse to click a button on a site ( I tried with every terminal web browser you can think of)
[06:17] <subdesign> is it a command to check how much disk space being used by an app?
[06:18] <niocora> GeekAdmin: You want the mouse to move of it's own accord and click a button on a website?
[06:18] <grendal> if it was just me...hell i wouldnt worrie about it...the only thing taht really bothers me is the windows that dont fit on my netbook issue.  I can just launch openvpn client instances from cmln i dont care that much about that shit..but man when i cant put a shortcut to openofice on my mothers desktop...heads are going to roll
[06:19] <sacarlson> GeekAdmin: I've writen ruby software to automate firefox
[06:20] <grendal> oh crap..i lost all of my playlists in rythembox...THAT IS A GOD DAMNED CRIME!!
[06:20] <GeekAdmin> sacarlson:  thanks I'll look into it
[06:20] <rhizmoe> is this where i complain about default notifier silliness?
[06:21] <sacarlson> GeekAdmin: I use the libs of watir http://watir.com/
[06:21] <rhizmoe> since it doesn't appear to display multiple notifications, i believe i'm watching a backlog continuously displaying for my last zillion automated tests
[06:21] <niocora> rhizmoe: This is where you complain and a few people commiserate and a few flame you for daring to say such a thing. :)
[06:22] <rhizmoe> ok, lemme change tack: are there alternate notifiers for 12.04?
[06:23] <rhizmoe> i believe the default is something like unconfigurable, unstylable, un-anything-able, right?
[06:23] <Mr> hey how can i go to the german channel?
[06:23] <MonkeyDust> Mr  /join #ubuntu-de
[06:23] <Mr> thx
[06:24] <niocora> /join #ubuntu-de
[06:24] <rhizmoe> /say
[06:26] <Mr> does someone use 12.04 unity?
[06:26] <niocora> I will.
[06:26] <MonkeyDust> Mr  most do
[06:26] <Mr> may you could do me a favor :)
[06:26] <rhizmoe> ugh, this is the only thing i use notifications for...and it's terrible!
[06:27] <rhizmoe> who has shuttleworth's email? i need to let him know how i feel about this.
[06:27] <chu> No you don't.
[06:28] <MonkeyDust> rhizmoe  try launchpad or brainstorm, first
[06:28] <rhizmoe> i do, i'm confident of this. furthermore, he needs to read about it in my particular tone and cant.
[06:28] <rhizmoe> it will accomplish the change all of us have been waiting for.
[06:29] <rhizmoe> MonkeyDust: everything i've been able to find indicates a status of "like it or lump it"
[06:29] <Mr> there is a program that is called *myunity* and there you can change the theme. and there is a very nice pic for the home folder (its an orange house). its just a detail but i realy like to use this, so my question is if someone could send me this cause i can not find through.
[06:29] <MonkeyDust> rhizmoe  ultimately, you could download the source code and change it to suit your needs
[06:30] <rhizmoe> is NotifyOSD the official name? that might help.
[06:31] <rhizmoe> ah ha, it is backlogging.
[06:32] <MonkeyDust> rhizmoe  moreover, shuttleworth is no longer in charge, it's some lady now
[06:32] <rhizmoe> "Each display should show up to one confirmation bubble, plus up to one notification bubble, at a time."
[06:32] <rhizmoe> BONERZ
[06:33] <Mr> rhizmoe: so you are using 12.04 gnome?
[06:35] <rhizmoe> Mr: i am
[06:35] <Mr> im using gnome classic *
[06:35] <rhizmoe> alright, so my bubbles are persisting for 10s, which appears to correspond to CRITICAL
[06:38] <Mr> i have a further question: when im using the updatemanager, it is showing me updates for programs like gwibber or for unity, but i have allready delete them. so what is happen, will they be installed anyways, dont matter the fact that the program not longer excsits?
[06:39] <LenovoG470> hello, friends, good day, noob here
[06:39] <digitalrain> hello
[06:39] <Mr> buenos dias amigo
[06:42] <LenovoG470> my USC has one Adobe Flash Plugin 10 and another Adobe Flash plugin, which one shall I install, thanks.
[06:42] <brettJames_> Hey anyone still here? I actually got somewhere
[06:43] <brettJames_> I installed Ubtunu on my 1.5TB Hard Drive. Creating 2 Partitions the main one "/" and a swap. Then installed. My problem now is that Windows still boots from my SSD which is first in the order. How can I make choosing easy?
[06:43] <mgedmin> is testdrive broken on 12.04 or what?  when I launch it to play with a quantal image, (1) the desktop is squashed without maintaining aspect ratio, and worse (2) the mouse cursor is invisible
[06:43] <brettJames_> or Do I have to go in the bios each time
[06:43] <mgedmin> or is (2) just a bug in the current quantal images?
[06:44] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  do you see the grub menu, where you can choose Os?
[06:44] <MonkeyDust> OSs*
[06:44] <mgedmin> brettJames_, if you swap the boot order in the BIOS, the boot manager (GRUB) on your 1.5TB drive ought to present you with a menu
[06:44] <brettJames_> Nope, I chose to install the boot thing on my 1.5 TB HD with ubuntu was that right?
[06:45] <brettJames_> OH NICE!
[06:45] <mi3> Hello, I downloaded this theme http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/install-eye-of-gnome-blue-gtk32-theme.html [I mean the zip file] and created the .themes folder in my home directory, and extracted it, now can someone suggest how do I install that theme ?
[06:45] <jita> I have installed openjdk-7-jre but the browsers say that java is not installed. How to fix it ?
[06:45] <brettJames_> ok so by installing the boot manager on my 1.5TB I should be good
[06:45] <Mandalord> LenovoG470: the newest adobe flash plugin is 11.2, i suggest you install it via adobe website or sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[06:45] <brettJames_> Thanks so much I finally got through this haha
[06:45] <brettJames_> have a good one guys
[06:45] <MonkeyDust> brettJames_  give it some time to get used to it
[06:46] <LenovoG470> mandalord, thanks . just add that command will do, yes?
[06:46] <LenovoG470> Mandalord, do i need to remove the GTK+ and others?
[06:46] <Mandalord> add the command and type YOUR password (it does not appear though)
[06:47] <Mandalord> LenovoG470: no i dont think so
[06:48] <LenovoG470> mandalord, so no need to remove the GTK
[06:48] <mi3> anyone ?
[06:48] <kanupatar> how can i mount my secondary hard disk in ubuntu?
[06:48] <mi3> Hello, I downloaded this theme http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/install-eye-of-gnome-blue-gtk32-theme.html [I mean the zip file] and created the .themes folder in my home directory, and extracted it, now can someone suggest how do I install that theme ?
[06:48] <mputtr> go into disk utility and select the drive, then mount
[06:48] <kanupatar> it is not showing when i run fdisk -l
[06:48] <kanupatar> mputtr: not shown there
[06:49] <mputtr> try gksudo palimpsest
[06:49] <Mandalord> LenovoG470: i dont think gtk+ have anything to do with adobe flash, just remember to enable it in your browser (something like Setting > Plugin > Adobe flash ...)
[06:49] <Blue1> what kind of flash issues?
[06:49] <Blue1> you need flashplugin-nonfree
[06:49] <kanupatar> cemiotic: no man.it is not showing in disk utility either or in fdisk -l
[06:49] <kanupatar> while log in it is asking for recovery
[06:50] <Mandalord> kanupatar: sudo fdisk -l
[06:50] <kanupatar> Mandalord: yes, it shows the partitions
[06:50] <kanupatar> but my sdb is not shown
[06:50] <kanupatar> it was there till yesterday
[06:51] <LenovoG470> mandalord, thanks, have a great day, cheerios
[06:52] <jita> I have installed openjdk-7-jre but the browsers say that java is not installed. How to fix it ?
[06:52] <jita> I am ubuntu 12.04
[06:53] <kanupatar> hi guys ..please help me
[06:53] <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see
[06:54] <kanupatar> MonkeyDust: wait
[06:55] <mgedmin> jita, never used java myself, but I _think_ you may need to install icedtea-7-plugin (or icedtea-6-plugin) as well
[07:04] <minas> Can I submit a game/application into the software center that runs using wine?
[07:06] <auronandace> minas: if it is your game/application with an appropriate license then i don't see why not (progress quest is there)
[07:08] <mgedmin> yeah, I can run precise in testdrive just fine; something's funky with quantal
[07:08] <minas> auronandace: It is. Thank you.
[07:11] <rob_> hi, can anyone tell me how to change which window manager starts? i need to script it so from the command line ideally, thanks!
[07:14] <MonkeyDust> rob_  you can use --replace, like compiz --replace
[07:14] <oupateddie> Is there anybody with a solution to the flashplayer problem in U 11.10. It seems as if I cannot get this to work in Firefox at all
[07:14] <rob_> MonkeyDust: sorry, what do you mean?
[07:15] <MonkeyDust> rob_  or is that not what you mean?
[07:15] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i'd like to switch the default window manager to be notion
[07:17] <Anuraj> hi
[07:18] <Anuraj> i am using ubuntu 11.10
[07:19] <MonkeyDust> rob_  can you install it? does it appear in the login menu (lightdm)?
[07:19] <Anuraj> my laptop get suspended whenn power supply goes out
[07:22] <LenovoG470> dear guys, how do I know if my ALSA needs updating, Ubuntu 11.10? Thanks
[07:23] <rob_> MonkeyDust: yeah it appears in the list
[07:23] <MonkeyDust> rob_  i'm not sure what the issue is, then
[07:23] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i tried running lightdm-set-defaults -s notion  but that doesnt seem to do anything
[07:26] <MonkeyDust> rob_  what do you want to accomplish, exactly?
[07:31] <rob_> MonkeyDust: i want to set notion to be the default window manager and set autologin so when i run 'restart lightdm' my user auto logs in and runs my window manager
[07:32] <MonkeyDust> rob_  lightdm automatically selects the session you used last time
[07:33] <MonkeyDust> rob_  i mean, select it once and it will be the used the next time you login, too
[07:35] <glosoli> hey folks anyone has idea why there was no emacs launcher created when I installed it
[07:35] <theadmin> glosoli: Because emacs is a CLI application?
[07:35] <glosoli> theadmin: no it isnt :)
[07:36] <glosoli> theadmin: emacs23 creates launcher properly
[07:36] <theadmin> glosoli: Huh. Thought it was. Oh well -- I'm a Vim person
[07:36] <glosoli> theadmin: I tryed to get used to vim.. didin't fit me:/ now I want to setup my Emacs workspace
[07:36] <theadmin> glosoli: I see, well, you can probably create the launcher yourself
[07:37] <glosoli> theadmin: you mean that desktop file ?
[07:37] <theadmin> glosoli: Sure, why not?... Wasn't there some graphical menu editor in Ubuntu at some point though?
[07:37] <glosoli> theadmin: some time ago probably hmm
[07:37] <glosoli> oh there is still one
[07:38] <MonkeyDust> alacarte
[07:38] <MonkeyDust> it means 'on the menu' (in french restaurants)
[07:38] <glosoli> sorry my bad, I forgot about lenses, and always tryed to search for app in home lenses but it didin't find it
[07:38] <glosoli> hmm but it creates another instance
[07:41] <glosoli> maybe some of you know what can this mean: /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -c -a I mean what  -c -a is responsible of ?
[07:43] <X-tonic> Wasnt there a blog post about shifting to py 3 in quantal? but packages.ubuntu.com tells otherwose
[07:43] <DJones> X-tonic: You'll probably be better asking that in #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for the development version
[07:44] <MonkeyDust> X-tonic  better ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:44] <MonkeyDust> DJones  was faster :)
[07:44] <DJones> MonkeyDust: Don't know how I managed that
[07:45] <qdb> hello . can i install http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/bcmwl-kernel-source ( <IP_ADDRESS> ) to 10.10 ?
[07:47] <MonkeyDust> qdb  you too, quantal in #ubuntu+1
[07:48] <theadmin> qdb: Generally speaking, no, you can not install a package from a different Ubuntu version.
[07:48] <qdb> MonkeyDust, thank you
[07:48]  * MonkeyDust misread the question
[07:48] <MonkeyDust> qdb  10.10 is EOL, no longer supported
[07:49] <qdb> is it possible to use quantal repo in 10.10
[07:49] <MonkeyDust> qdb  don't mix versions
[07:49] <theadmin> qdb: Again, it's not.
[07:50] <theadmin> qdb: I just said so.
[07:50] <qdb> what if turn on quantal repo then download and install then remove the repo
[07:51] <MonkeyDust> qdb  then you will happily ruin your system
[07:51] <DJones> qdb: As has been advised, its not recommended, you will most likely break your system
[07:51] <qdb> it is fresh installed
[07:51] <qdb> then i lll install 10 04 or quantal
[07:51] <sw> hi. I need to install sun jvm >=1.5, what package would that be?
[07:53] <vampirnata> could someone help me figure out how to remove the execute bit on all files in a directory EXCEPT for the subfolders, but including the files in the subfolders.
[07:53] <vampirnata> Please :)
[07:53] <rob_> vampirnata: find -exec
[07:53] <theadmin> vampirnata: find your_dir -type f -exec chmod -x '{}' \;
[07:54] <rob_> :)
[07:54] <vampirnata> perfect :) thanks!
[07:54] <vampirnata> does that do it recursively?
[07:54] <theadmin> vampirnata: Yes, if you want to do it unrecursively use -maxdepth 0 (I think)
[07:55] <vampirnata> sounds good. thank you theadmin
[07:58] <theadmin> vampirnata: No problem. Read "man find", it can solve you a lot of headache with complicated file operations.
[07:58] <sw> hi. I need to install sun jvm >=1.5, what package would that be? I see there's plenty of java packages floating around ...
[07:59] <osirisx11> hi, could someone please help me figure out what happened to a pet bug, 974905? i JUST got an email about it, but when I went to the URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974905 it is a 404
[07:59] <theadmin> sw: Sun's/Oracle's Java is not in the repositories anymore.
[07:59] <sw> theadmin: so?
[07:59] <Lounge> i thought sun's jvm was in the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:59] <echo083> !nounity
[07:59] <theadmin> sw: ...So you go to java.com and install it according to their instructions.
[08:00] <osirisx11> sw: https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/
[08:01] <Lounge> is it possible to run 12.04 desktop  without 3d acceleration?
[08:02] <theadmin> Lounge: Surely. Just use the Ubuntu 2D session.
[08:02] <Lounge> theadmin: oh yeah
[08:03] <theadmin> Lounge: It won't be as shiny though ;)
[08:04] <Lounge> think i might add the classic gnome2 look as alternate session
[08:04] <Lounge> i wonder if mate would be good
[08:08] <soa2ii> Hi. I installed 12.04 on a Dell notebook here (amd64 x2). It looks like that it's getting hotter and hotter during cpu intensive tasks and finally just goes out. Are there some ACPI features or whatever that are missing in a normal 12.04 installation?
[08:09]  * benjabean1 says "GOOSH-GOOSH!"
[08:11] <Mr> when im using the updatemanager, it is showing me updates for programs like gwibber or for unity, but i have allready delete them. so what is happen, will they be installed anyways, dont matter the fact that the program not longer excsits?
[08:11] <benjabean1> try running "sudo apt-get autoremove", they should go away
[08:12] <Mr> for me?
[08:12] <benjabean1> yes
[08:12] <Mr> okay thx'

[08:13] <maxmc> Hi.
[08:13] <maxmc> I own a thinkpad x220 with ubuntu 12.04, latest updates are installed. Overall by internet connection is fast, but sometimes it hangs.
[08:13] <Mr> there is a issue with my terminal right now* ovells@ovells-System-Product-Name:~$
[08:13] <maxmc> Meaning it takes > 5 seconds to open a website. The browser (I tested with Chromium and Firefox) then displays "sending request" and nothing happens.
[08:13] <maxmc> After a while the site is rendered. This doensn't seem to be related to the site. For instance somtimes google is shown immediately, sometimes it "hangs".
[08:13] <maxmc> The solutions I googled suggest to disable ip6 which I have done. But with no luck. The problem remains. So has anyone an idea what else I could try. Thanks!
[08:14] <benjabean1> what do you mean by "it hangs," maxmc?
[08:14] <maxmc> Ah, other computers on my network (windows 7) work fine
[08:15] <petryk> hello
[08:15] <benjabean1> hi
[08:15] <maxmc> @benjabean1: like I described. I request the site. The browser displays "sending request" and for the next 5-15sec nothing happens
[08:15] <benjabean1> which browser?
[08:15] <maxmc> Then the browser "resumes work" and renders the requested page
[08:16] <maxmc> like i said I tested with Chromium and Firefox
[08:16] <maxmc> latest versions
[08:16] <benjabean1> sorry, i joined the channel late, must've missed that bit, xchat crashed
[08:16] <maxmc> ah i see :)
[08:17] <benjabean1> do you have any extensions running?
[08:17] <maxmc> only in firefox
[08:18] <benjabean1> hold on a moment
[08:20] <benjabean1> go into chromium, press "CTRL+SHIFT+I", go to network tab, then visit "whatismyip.akamai.com"
[08:21] <maxmc> yes
[08:21] <benjabean1> @maxmc?
[08:21] <benjabean1> what happens?
[08:21] <maxmc> @benjabean1 my ip shows up
[08:21] <benjabean1> after 15 secs?
[08:21] <dudemang> Hi, I was wondering how I can list disk information without root permissions
[08:22] <MonkeyDust> dudemang  information about what?
[08:22] <maxmc> no immediately. the hang appears randomly. sometimes I visit 20+ pages and the it happens
[08:22] <dudemang> MonkeyDust: Stuff like hard drive space and disk model
[08:22] <MonkeyDust> dudemang  df -h
[08:22] <benjabean1> let's move to private chat please maxmc
[08:22] <maxmc> @benjabean1 here is what i originally posted here: http://pastebin.com/WFvBY5hV

[08:24] <dudemang> MonkeyDust: What about hard drive model?
