[06:00] <Bsims> lol though I'd had a associate's in database theory and design with db2 right?... they made me take intro to access
[06:00] <ryanturner> socket 1155. Not too awful.
[06:00] <Bsims> I just hand wrote the sql by hand
[06:01] <ryanturner> Bsims, lol what
[06:01] <Bsims> teacher never did figure out why my stuff was faster
[06:01] <ryanturner> I had someone the other day try to explain why Excel was better than access.
[06:01] <ryanturner> I was just sitting there nodding my head and walked away eventually. Not worth it.
[06:01] <Bsims> had two years of mainframe database... made me take intro access
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[06:02] <SHOTbyGUN> Yay, I thought I didint install the -24 kernel... but somehow I have it and I rebooted ubuntu on harddrive... BUT I think I need some reinstalling because I sometimes get ubuntu internal error messages... How do I verify my system files ?
[06:03]  * Bsims giggles we got told we could explore the as/400 at the college for a class... I found out we students had access to QSYSPWRDN -IMD aka sudo shutdown -h now
[06:03] <Guest_> flow for mac is a garbage ftp client :3
[06:04] <Bsims> well the teacher told us it wouldn't even show us a command we couldn't do
[06:04] <Wizard> Whoa, isn't that more suitable for #ubuntu-offtopic?
[06:04] <ryanturner> Guest_ filezilla
[06:04] <ryanturner> how about #ubuntu-off-offtopic
[06:04] <ryanturner> lol
[06:05] <bushido> wtf
[06:05] <bushido> hello
[06:05] <sbattey> hi.
[06:05] <Bsims> howdy
[06:05] <bushido> how are you guys doing?
[06:06] <Bsims> fighting insomnia yourself?
[06:06] <sbattey> Better than you, so it would seem
[06:06]  * Bsims grins its 01:07am here and I get up in 6hrs
[06:06] <sbattey> I have to get up in 6 hours :(
[06:07] <ryanturner> Bsims hooray central time!
[06:07] <Bsims> sbattey: join the club
[06:07]  * Bsims grins and passes around the vodka bottle and starts a pot of coffee
[06:07] <ryanturner> In case anyone wants a good terrible laugh, http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cf1n2/holy_fuck_i_just_saw_someone_get_hit_by_a_train/c0s4ilg
[06:07] <sbattey> Bsims: it's ok though, I'm going on vacation on thursday :)
[06:07] <ryanturner> Read the first 3 you see.
[06:07] <Bsims> Oooh nice sbattey
[06:08]  * Bsims grins I's a tugboat for my 2 year old girl
[06:08] <Bsims> rigged her trike with reins
[06:08] <ryanturner> lol
[06:08] <ryanturner> did you mount a foghorn too?
[06:08] <Bsims> nah
[06:08] <ryanturner> awww
[06:09] <Bsims> momma told me if I did... no more Gentleman fun time
[06:10] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: hey I got my system working somehow... but I need to check the whole system.. is there command to verify ubuntu installation ?
[06:11] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: I could not even open software center... and apt thought it was fully installed... it works after --reinstall lol
[06:11] <Bsims> Hrm SHOTbyGUN just wanting to make sure apt works again or what?
[06:12] <newbie> ryanturner,  i should install samba on both machines?
[06:12] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: yeah I just need to verify my whole system
[06:12] <Tm_T> ryanturner: this is wrong channel for such "laughs", so please stick in channel topic
[06:12] <ryanturner> if you just want to mount a foreign share then you dont need samba on the local machine
[06:13] <Bsims> SHOTbyGUN: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-get-list-installed-software-reinstallation-restore.html
[06:13] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: thanks
[06:13] <Bsims> this is a ground zero approach
[06:13] <Bsims> it will make a list of every package you have and reinstall it
[06:13] <SHOTbyGUN> thats what I wanted
[06:14] <SHOTbyGUN> I have lot and lot of dependency problems
[06:14] <ryanturner> Tm_T: Ok.
[06:14] <Bsims> heh this will most likely fix it
[06:14] <Bsims> SHOTbyGUN: try sudo apt-get install -f first though
[06:14] <SHOTbyGUN> ok :o
[06:14] <Bsims> by itself to tell it try to fix itself
[06:15] <SHOTbyGUN> apt is already the newest version
[06:16] <newbie> iam quite new at this . is there a tutorail
[06:17]  * Bsims grins SHOTbyGUN thats all it says? try an apt-get update apt-get upgrade
[06:17] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: that says nothing to install
[06:17] <Bsims> no errors?
[06:17] <SHOTbyGUN> no errors... everything is fine
[06:18] <Bsims> then as far as apt is concernend its working fine
[06:18] <SHOTbyGUN> but if you try to install something ... everything is not fine
[06:18] <Bsims> ah worst case let it grind and do the reisntall dance I linked to
[06:18] <SHOTbyGUN> apt works... but my installation did not go as planned... I think
[06:19] <SHOTbyGUN> yeah... lets hope It works =)
[06:19] <newbie> Bsims,  do i need to install samba on both machine
[06:19] <newbie> s
[06:19]  * Bsims nods... though it probably would be faster to download the disks and do a md5 checksum and burn it and reinstall
[06:19] <ryanturner> newbie not unless you're trying to create two separate shares on each machine
[06:19] <ryanturner> if you simply want to share one folder between the two machines, then just install Samba on whatever computer you want it stored on, and then use cifs to mount it
[06:20] <Bsims> but this way you get to learn the its dead jim method of cyber necromancy
[06:20] <ryanturner> newbie: not a tut but might be some help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide
[06:20] <SHOTbyGUN> haha ^_^
[06:20] <Bsims> I've learned more when it dies/breaks than anyother time
[06:20] <newbie> hm..
[06:21] <newbie> my muon is stuck and confguring libgs9 at 38 percent for half an hour
[06:21] <Bsims> and one good thing about linux is if it breaks ya get to keep all the chunks and generaly it has superglue avavailable
[06:22] <newbie> "could not start proccess. unable to creat io-slave; klauncher said unknown protocol 'filie'
[06:23] <Wizard> newbie, Typo, you should use 'file'.
[06:26] <hax0r> hmmmm...
[06:27] <newbie> Wizard,  i am using dolphin. do you mean file is another file manager and i should use it ?
[06:27] <Wizard> No, I thought you typed URL by hand.
[06:27] <Sargun-Work> Are there any ubuntu auto-provisoning technologies that support bonded interfaces today?
[06:28] <hax0r> Sargun-Work - Yes, there is.
[06:29] <parth_> Do any one know how to disable password at login time ubuntu 12.04
[06:31] <wilee-nilee> parth_, you want no password at all op a auto login?
[06:31] <wilee-nilee> or*
[06:31] <SHOTbyGUN> Bsims: or maybe my system is working properly afterall... tried to reinstall some packages and I dont have the dependency problems anymore
[06:32] <parth_> i want auto login
[06:32] <wilee-nilee> parth_, it is in users
[06:32] <parth_> i know but that option is freezed
[06:32] <Bsims> SHOTbyGUN: cool ya fixed it
[06:33] <wilee-nilee> parth_, you unlock it?
[06:33] <Shalomony> Can someone please help me get my stupid DVD player to work?
[06:34] <parth_> ok done thank you wilee-nilee
[06:34] <wilee-nilee> parth_, cool, enjoy. :)
[06:36] <Drecondius> Is there an acpi work around that doesn't involve the flag acpi=off flag. I can boot into my system with it but i lose all usb.
[06:37] <khayyim> for some reason Dosbox isn't closing when I hit the X in the upper right corner of the window. The windows freezes and goes black, but it won't close. "Kill dosbox" didn't help.
[06:37] <khayyim> 12.04 here
[06:37] <SHOTbyGUN> Drecondius: you dont have usb keyboard / mouse on fresh install ?
[06:37] <bazhang> khayyim, try xkill then use the crosshairs on it
[06:38] <Drecondius> SHOTbyGUN: If i use the paramater acpi=off I have no usb but i get to boot into my system. If i don't use it it drops me to a cli
[06:39] <user1_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:39] <user1_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[06:39] <user1_>        i think i need to restart. no other is using dpkg by the way
[06:39] <SHOTbyGUN> Drecondius, lol I had same problem just this morning... I am not sure how I fixed it... but I chrooted from live cd... then I put apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade and then rebooted
[06:39] <bazhang> user1_, close synaptic or ubuntu software center
[06:40] <bazhang> user1_, or you forgot to use sudo
[06:40] <Shalomony> My discs are not mounting properly, and ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my dvd-rom drive.(i.e. I cannot use 'eject' in a terminal)
[06:41] <Drecondius> SHOTbyGUN: I can try those commands from the cli and hope they work be back soon wether or not it works lol
[06:43] <Fat-Thing> im pissed off on my distro now :( i got this lag thingy i dunno why....it just happend today....why do i get this lag thingy?
[06:43] <user1_> bazhang,  no.  i just rm the /lock
[06:44] <user1_> bazhang,  all was closed
[06:44] <fidel_> Fat-Thing: what lag? could you describe that a bit more detailed?
[06:45] <Fat-Thing> fidel lag .... from opening a youtube video it stucked and in slowmotion even in opening a folder or a application...everything in slowmotion or get stucked for about 20seconds
[06:46] <Shalomony> This is what i get if i try to use 'eject' [eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device]
[06:49] <Shalomony> thanks for ALL your help support channel...
[06:50] <amanthakur> hi guys, i have a rack server IBM x3650 having 6 hdd of 146 gb each. One of these has bad sectors and is not working fine. can anyone tell me how can i detect which one is crashed?
[06:50] <chu> No worries.
[06:50] <jagginess> amanthakur, a s.m.a.r.t analysis tool should show something ifthe hd is still somewhat operable..
[06:51] <Miscni> morning all
[06:51] <jagginess> amanthakur, a s.m.a.r.t capable hd keeps it's internal error database.. a software smart tool can query this database
[06:52] <DarwinSurvivor> !find smartcontrol
[06:52] <DarwinSurvivor> amanthakur: try that ^^
[06:53] <DarwinSurvivor> may need X for it, there are also cli versions as well
[06:53] <DarwinSurvivor> amanthakur: smartmontools is probably what you want
[06:53] <khayyim> bazhang: I used xkill... I think I hosed the window manager or whatever it's called. I can alt-tab, but I have no taskbar
[06:54] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: unity, gnome-shell, etc?
[06:54] <amanthakur> jagginess, thanks :) and DarwinSurvivor thanks you too :)
[06:54] <bazhang> khayyim, on the dosbox window only?
[06:54] <codeshepherd_> : i have set up static ip configuration in /etc/network/interfaces  .. but everytime I reboot the settings get lost . how do i set a static ip permanently ?
[06:54] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: bazhang XFCE here
[06:54] <bazhang> khayyim, that makes no difference
[06:54] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: oh ok, sorry I'm not very familiar with that
[06:55] <Drecondius> SHOTbyGUN: Are you still here?
[06:55] <khayyim> bazhang: I derped and hit the taskbar with the crosshairs
[06:55] <DarwinSurvivor> codeshepherd: is this a headless system?
[06:55] <bazhang> khayyim, for the reset panels command, try in #xubuntu
[06:55] <codeshepherd> DarwinSurvivor: yes.. it is a headless system
[06:55] <khayyim> darno prob
[06:55] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: oh, I think you just need to run "xfce4-panel" (possibly without the 4)
[06:55] <jameslord> why i cannot uninstall python 2.7?
[06:55] <SHOTbyGUN> Drecondius: Yeah I am still here =)
[06:56] <jameslord> http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=82
[06:56] <curiousx> aloha all :D
[06:56] <khayyim> Woot, got it, thanks!
[06:56] <DarwinSurvivor> jameslord: because "python" is a different package than "python2.7" and "python3"
[06:57] <dr_willis> ! info  python
[06:57] <DarwinSurvivor> no space
[06:57] <DarwinSurvivor> !info python
[06:57] <Drecondius> SHOTbyGUN: Here's my entire installation experience x10 or more, I boot into the live environment with the nomodeset parameter, install and have it download updates as it does, reboot, voila im in a cli but i still have network access.
[06:57] <khayyim> How do I detach a process from a terminal?
[06:58] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: did you set up nomodeset on the installed grub as well?
[06:58] <codeshepherd> DarwinSurvivor: how does headless system matter?
[06:58] <Drecondius> still boots to cli afterwards
[06:58] <DarwinSurvivor> codeshepherd: because if it's not, I would just recommend using network manager :P
[06:58] <codeshepherd> DarwinSurvivor: ok.. anyway around?
[06:58] <dr_willis> khayyim:  ctrl-z,  bg,    i belive
[06:59] <SHOTbyGUN> Drecondius: did you try to input command: startx ?
[06:59] <Shalomony> How can i force ubuntu 12.04 to put my DVD in a dev path?
[06:59] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  see if its /dev/sr0
[06:59] <Drecondius> DarwinSurvivor: That's the only way i can get a semi workable installation going. "Failed to load device in PCI 1.0.0" or something to that nature
[07:00] <DarwinSurvivor> codeshepherd: sorry, I haven't used ubuntu on my server for a while now, only my desktops and some laptops have it currently.
[07:00] <Drecondius> ERRRRR
[07:00] <codeshepherd> ok DarwinSurvivor
[07:00] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  theres as bug that makes it not show up as /dev/dvd like it should.  but  /dev/sr0 works here
[07:00] <kuai410022283> nnnnnd
[07:00] <Drecondius> Rather it dies when trying to load my videocard
[07:00] <Shalomony> dr_willis, how can i check that, I'm dumb
[07:00] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  how are you trying to access the dvd?
[07:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: what video card is it?
[07:01] <Drecondius> DarwinSurvivor: Geforce GTX 550ti
[07:01] <Sargun-Work> Why wont ubuntu let you do bonding + DHCP?
[07:01] <Drecondius> does the same thing though with a GTS 250 though
[07:01] <Shalomony> I'm just trying to play it, but it's not mounting properly, non of my programs recognize a disc. VLC says there IS no device @ /dev/sr0
[07:02] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  it could be its /dev/sdX also where X is a, b, c, d, e
[07:02] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: ubuntu version ?
[07:02] <Drecondius> 12.04
[07:03] <crazyrohila> how to import gmail contact in skype ?
[07:03] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: lsmod | grep noveau
[07:03] <Drecondius> Mind you if i use the acpi=off parameter I can boot into it
[07:03] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: lsmod | grep nvidia
[07:03] <Drecondius> but I lose my usb devices including kb and mouse
[07:03] <crazyrohila> how to import gmail contact in skype ?
[07:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127305/how-to-install-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-computer-with-a-nvidia-geforce-gtx-550-ti has a few tips that may help
[07:04] <Chuck_Norris> i meant what is the driver you are using Drecondius ?
[07:04] <Shalomony> I can load the disc in VLC, but there's got to be a way for me to fix the mounting. It used to work great in 10.04
[07:04] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: also, does switching to a TTY interface work?
[07:04] <Drecondius> umm tty being cli right?
[07:04] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: yes
[07:05] <Drecondius> that's what i'm defaulted to outside of live environment
[07:05] <DarwinSurvivor> ok
[07:05] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: have you tried installing the binary drivers?
[07:05] <Shalomony> dr_willis, Also I cannot get ANY of those /dev/srX/ to work, but i'm only down to p
[07:05] <Drecondius> as for the driver Chuck_Norris, it's whatever restricted driver ubuntu downloaded and installed
[07:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: could you pastebin the output of "ls /dev/"?
[07:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: when did it download and install it?
[07:06] <Drecondius> Right now as a matter of fact
[07:06] <Drecondius> My installation just finished for x'th time
[07:06] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  no idea then.  i just pop in a dvd movie.  and point vlc to /dev/sr0 here,  or /dev/sdd on my other box
[07:07] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/nvidia ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[07:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: ubuntu will not automatically install the binary video card drivers, that must be done manually (either via cli or the "restricted drivers" tool in the GUI)
[07:07] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: with that solved
[07:07] <Chuck_Norris> for sure
[07:07] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  you did instasll the dvd playback packages needed?

[07:07] <Chuck_Norris> what's?
[07:08] <DarwinSurvivor> !nvidia | Drecondius
[07:08] <Chuck_Norris> do you know upubuntu guys?
[07:08] <Fat-Thing> im pissed off on my distro now :( i got this lag thingy i dunno why....it just happend today....why do i get this lag thingy?
[07:08] <Fat-Thing> fidel lag .... from opening a youtube video it stucked and in slowmotion even in opening a folder or a application...everything in slowmotion or get stucked for about 20seconds
[07:09] <Chuck_Norris> upubuntu guys is the same like webupd8 and omgubuntu
[07:09] <ImperialDroid> Fat-Thing, did you try restarting the machine?
[07:09] <DarwinSurvivor> Chuck_Norris: no, but as good as they may be, we are supposed to direct people to the *official* packages.
[07:09] <Shalomony> DarwinSurvivor, it's http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002496/
[07:09] <Fat-Thing> ImperialDroid, done...same....  :(
[07:10] <ImperialDroid> So, when you restart the machine and try using just youtube by itself it still lags?
[07:10] <Chuck_Norris> the official package that come with ubuntu has bugs, nividia report that the 295.40 driver has errors
[07:10] <DarwinSurvivor> Chuck_Norris: then they should be moved to the official repositories. If they haven't already, there is probably a good REASON why they haven't
[07:11] <Chuck_Norris> with upubuntu PPA you will be able to install 295.53 that works very well for me
[07:11] <bazhang> Chuck_Norris, ppa are not supported. no reason to recommend them here
[07:11] <Drecondius> that's the newest one out
[07:11] <Drecondius> as of wed
[07:11] <DarwinSurvivor> Chuck_Norris: it may work for you, but PPA's are not supposed to be recommended in the #ubuntu channel. If you want them added to the repositories, send a request to the packaging team
[07:12] <Drecondius> DarwinSurvivor: I understand your concern but at this point I'm about ready to start sacraficing gnomes to please whatever delights in such misery :D
[07:12] <DarwinSurvivor> !ppa | Chuck_Norris note the warning
[07:13] <fidel_> !elaborate > Fat-Thing
[07:13] <DarwinSurvivor> !nvidia | Drecondius did you try these instructions
[07:13] <khayyim> Why can't I kill something in htop? Do I need to use sudo?
[07:13] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: what are you trying to kill?
[07:13] <Drecondius> not yet im kinda trying to brows web page and see if i miss anything here lol
[07:14] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: go with the wiki page, that is the *official* installation method. I've seen way too many people hose their systems by following how-to's on peoples' blogs
[07:14] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: xfce4-panel and dosbox
[07:15] <DarwinSurvivor> top 3 ways to hose a system: 1) install a .run file 2) PPA's 3) "first 10 things to do after installing ubuntu"-style blog posts
[07:15] <Chuck_Norris> ok anyway a couple of links about it: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?70452-Did-The-NVIDIA-295-40-Linux-Driver-Fall-Off-A-Cliff
[07:15] <Chuck_Norris> http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?70460-NVIDIA-Confirms-Linux-Driver-Problems
[07:15] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: try "killall xfce4-panel" and tell me if that works
[07:15] <Shalomony> DarwinSurvivor,  The output of me "ls /dev/" is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002496/
[07:16] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: nope
[07:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: hmm, it appears that you *do* have sr0, dvd and dvdrw. did you run that command with a disk in the drive or without?
[07:16] <Drecondius> To lighten the mood I've hosed mine at least 10 different times today :)
[07:16] <Drecondius> You can never learn your limits if you don't break something lol
[07:16] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: ok, try "killall -s 9 xfce4-panel"
[07:16] <dr_willis> Shalomony: 	you did instasll  the proper packages to enabled dvd playback?
[07:16] <Shalomony> darwinsurvivor, disc in the drive
[07:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: ok, can you try it again without a disk in the drive?
[07:17] <khayyim> woop woop
[07:17] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: Looks like that did it. Why doesn't htop kill it but killall does?
[07:17] <jay__> don't do drugs
[07:18] <Shalomony> darwinSurvivor, sure thing dr_willis, I've downloaded every approved package from Canonical
[07:18] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: because you used signal 9 which tells the kernel "kill at all costs" whereas using the default 15 just says "ask it do close"
[07:18] <Shalomony> for dvd playback...
[07:18] <DarwinSurvivor> khayyim: if you need to use signal 9 in htop, hit F9, then 9, then enter
[07:18] <Drecondius> DarwinSurvivor: I can't do half of what the wiki is telling me because they require X to actually be running.
[07:18] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: See, I was using both 15 and 9 in htop
[07:18] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  you followed the directions at the how to play dvd wiki page and ran that css installer script?
[07:19] <khayyim> DarwinSurvivor: Anyway, thanks; worked like a charm
[07:19] <Chuck_Norris> Drecondius: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[07:19] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation_without_X_.2BAC8_from_the_console
[07:19] <Shalomony> dr_willis, yes but that only allowed for me to play them slightly. I still have problems almost everytime i try to ACTUALLY play the disc.
[07:20] <Drecondius> back in a few
[07:20] <DarwinSurvivor> Drecondius: or go with Chuck_Norris's one (simpler)
[07:20] <Shalomony> DarwinSurvivor, here's is the output with NO disc in drive, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002501/
[07:20] <c-risk> Hello. I have a similar UEFI problem as in this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/954878
[07:20] <dr_willis> slightly?
[07:20] <Chuck_Norris> with that, you will install nvidia 295.40 thats has some bugs, you will notice when you are playing games or seeing video on youtube
[07:20] <c-risk> However, I dont understand the press esc key workaround
[07:21] <Drecondius> I'm just worried about actually being able to boot to desktop without having to use the acpi=off boot param.
[07:21] <Shalomony> dr_willis, yes it will say there's a dvd on the unity bar, but every program has trouble running it. VLC mplayer, etc all give me some kind of error.
[07:22] <Drecondius> without it i am stuck in tty with it i have no kb and mouse and usb
[07:22] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: hmm, same thing. Have you tested the dvd drive in any other OS (even another version/release of ubuntu)?
[07:22] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  run vlc from a terminal. have it play the dvd.. look for error messages
[07:22] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: have you tried other disks...?
[07:22] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: could very well be a dirty/scratched/fubar'd disk
[07:23] <Shalomony> DarwinSurvivor, not yet, i was thinking about getting rid of 12.04 and going back to 10.04, disc is brand new
[07:24] <c-risk> my problem is that I dont understand when to press ESC in that workaround.
[07:24] <Chuck_Norris> Drewch: oh! i misunderstood your problem =P
[07:24] <Chuck_Norris> sorry, i am from Argentina, english is not mah naturally language -.-
[07:26] <Shalomony> dr_willis: when i ran VLC in the terminal, it's no longer mounting the disc properly again. It does this once every couple of times i put a disc in
[07:27] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: well, try another disk, I've seen people get brand-new (store bought) disks that were doa
[07:27] <lewellyn> when i have multiple video cards installed, the boot process comes up on the wrong screen. how can i make it come up on the same screen as POST?
[07:27] <dr_willis> ive also seen new Video disks thathave this lame copy protection stuff on them. 'bad' sectors that can confuse computers ;(
[07:28] <dr_willis> lewellyn:  mmine shows on the same monitor..untill X starts up
[07:29] <Shalomony> dr_willis: that might make sense, the disc works fine in standard DVD players, or consoles, but not my poor ubuntu laptop.
[07:29] <dr_willis> the lightdm shows up on the monitor i set as my primary display
[07:29] <DarwinSurvivor> Shalomony: check the back of the case, see if there are any copy-protection warnings
[07:29] <dr_willis> Shalomony:  what movie is it? just bought the disk?
[07:29] <krababbel> lewellyn: BIOS has a setting
[07:29] <lewellyn> krababbel: POST and the int
[07:30] <krababbel> lewellyn: oh, maybe not
[07:30] <lewellyn> grr
[07:30] <Shalomony> it's doctor who season 6. But now it's not mounting the disc at all....
[07:30] <lewellyn> krababbel: POST and the alternate installer were fine
[07:30] <dr_willis> all the  DVD's ive bought recently seem to be doing that copy stuff.. hasent really stopped me however..
[07:30] <lewellyn> krababbel: it's the installed system that's unhappy
[07:30] <krababbel> hey, that should be possible, I don't know how, maybe take one out, so ubuntu takes the other one at boot
[07:31] <krababbel> then put it back in
[07:31] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdcss2
[07:31] <lewellyn> i can't put the card into a running system :;/
[07:31] <DarwinSurvivor> lewellyn: no, just the display (hdmi/dvi/whatever plug)
[07:31] <bazhang> Chuck_Norris, did you have him add the medibuntu repos for that?
[07:31] <Shalomony> chuck_norris: done that, that just allowed it to work partially. I think 12.04 is having an auto-mounting issue right now
[07:31] <lewellyn> DarwinSurvivor: doesn't work.
[07:32] <ndee> how can I monitor a directory and all it's subdirectory for a file change? So, as soon as a file is changed, it should show up in a log or somewhere.
[07:32] <wjorgew> chuck nurris itś great
[07:32] <lewellyn> it's initializing a port that doesn't have a monitor attached, which is why i couldn't figure it out for hours
[07:33] <krababbel> lewellyn: a port, or the whole card? could be it always takes the card in the 'main' pci-e slot
[07:33] <ads_> i want to stop tomcat
[07:33] <lewellyn> krababbel: the boot process is using a plain ol pci card instead
[07:33] <ads_> what shud i run command
[07:33] <DarwinSurvivor> ndee: look into inotify
[07:33] <Shalomony> DarwinSurvivor: It just got standard don't "reproduce,distribute, or exhibit" that's on all dvd cases
[07:33] <lewellyn> bios is set to use the pci-e, and that's how i installed with the alternate installer
[07:34] <ndee> DarwinSurvivor, sweet, thanks
[07:34] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[07:34] <lewellyn> and, for fun, the boot process is using the vga port, not the digital port, on the pci card
[07:34] <lewellyn> (yes, this is a very specific card and monitor combo. no, i can't plug the monitor into the pci-e card.)
[07:34] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: I've done ALL of that, you are very good at googling aren't you...
[07:35] <Chuck_Norris> xD i know that about 4 or 5 years ago noob
[07:35] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
[07:35] <Shalomony> I've done that....
[07:36] <Chuck_Norris> and i did: aptitude search lidvd for that
[07:36] <Drecondius> Ok, now this is beginning to get on my last nerve. The driver is nvidia-current. It's failing to open my gpu. but when i boot with the acpi=off paramater it runs the gpu fine i just lose all my usb support
[07:36] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: uname -i
[07:37] <Drecondius> Is there some kind of work around for acpi that i can use that doesn't involve turning it all off?
[07:38] <Shalomony> Chuck_Norris: i386...
[07:39] <ndee> DarwinSurvivor, when I watch a directory recursively, I only see the directory that are accessed but not the files itself. In the manpage, I can't find anything to output the filenames, is that even possible?
[07:40] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: can you paste the error that yo got when trying to mount dvd
[07:40] <Chuck_Norris> or an image it ok as you like
[07:41] <ill1cit> OMW ITS CHUCK NORRISS
[07:41] <ill1cit> RRUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
[07:41] <FloodBot1> ill1cit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:41] <ill1cit> *grabs his nuts and runs*
[07:41] <lewellyn> so no one knows how to tell grub which framebuffer to initialize? :/
[07:42] <ill1cit> chuck norris knows too bad he wont tell you
[07:42] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: I'm not getting an error when it won't mount, it just won't mount. I don't WANT to manually mount it....
[07:42] <krababbel> lewellyn: you could ask in #grub
[07:42] <DarwinSurvivor> ndee: not sure, never used it directly, just know that some multimedia and backup tools use it (mediatomb for instance)
[07:42]  * lewellyn shudders
[07:42] <bazhang> ill1cit, stop that
[07:42] <krababbel> they're nice
[07:42] <lewellyn> of course, last time i needed them, it was "we don't support anything older than like 2 weeks ago. talk to your vendor"
[07:42] <ill1cit> mmkay
[07:43] <Shalomony> thanks for all the help yall, But i'm just going back to using 10.04... I liked it MUCH more
[07:43] <krababbel> lewellyn: OK, back then I was trying grub2 while it was still quite new
[07:43] <lewellyn> krababbel: before vendors started mucking with it ;)
[07:43] <Chuck_Norris> you mount the dvd and then run with vlc? and you just want to run them drectly using vlc?
[07:44] <Chuck_Norris> you dont want to type commands in the terminal for mounting dvd?
[07:44] <Guest92636> hi, how to find out what spins up my second hard drive?
[07:44] <ads_> i want to stop tomcat on my ubuntu how will i do that????
[07:45] <lewellyn> oh hey. let's try GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub
[07:45] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: It automounts into the media folder, half the time. the other half it just doesn't work at all. I figure if i manually mount it through the terminal, I'll get many more problems
[07:45] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: try "sudo service tomcat stop"
[07:47] <lewellyn> well, that certainly didn't do what i had hoped...
[07:47] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: tried but its giving me error "tomcat: unrecognized service"
[07:47] <bobweaver> ps aux | grep [t]omcat
[07:47] <bobweaver> then killall <name >
[07:47] <lewellyn> also, it seems it's the graphical boot procedure, after grub, that's the big problem (whatever ubuntu uses for that)
[07:47] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: ok, how did you *start* it?
[07:49] <Chuck_Norris> well try to mout a encripted dvd through terminal and if you see some errors, paste it, maybe this time google can help us -.- =P
[07:49] <Chuck_Norris> an* encripted...
[07:49] <lewellyn> ;/g 33
[07:49] <lewellyn> erp
[07:52] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: administrator installed tomcat and he is not available. so i dont know how did he started service
[07:53] <akaariai> I am having a really irritating problem after upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 - my keyboard goes to sleep after a second or two, and misses then the first few keys typed when it "awakes"
[07:53] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: do you have sudo?
[07:53] <ads_> yes
[07:53] <akaariai> any hints how to solve this? Should I just do a reinstall?
[07:53] <DarwinSurvivor> "ps aux | grep omcat"
[07:53] <DarwinSurvivor> akaariai: did you install any power-saving tools like laptop-mode-tools or anything?
[07:53] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: what exactly this will do?
[07:55] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: just print a list of all process with "omcat" in the name
[07:55] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: my error from mounting... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002538/
[07:55] <DarwinSurvivor> it won't change or kill anything, I just want to see what the process itself is called
[07:55] <akaariai> DarwinSurvivor: I don't think so, but when I search for "power" with synaptic there are multiple packages installed
[07:55] <akaariai> I don't know which of those are default installed, which not
[07:55] <marchdown_> hello
[07:56] <chu> hello
[07:56] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor : http://pastie.org/3954314 this is output of previous command
[07:57] <marchdown_> I don't understand how does the mechanism form switching keyboard layouts work. Can somebody help me out?
[07:58] <Chuck_Norris> why your dvd is pointing to the first particion of the firt disc?
[07:58] <Shalomony> Chuck_Norris: good question
[07:59] <akaariai> DarwinSurvivor: could gnome-power-manager do the keyboard suspending?
[07:59] <Chuck_Norris> ye, such a good question -.-
[07:59] <Chuck_Norris> mmm... paste fstab and mtab
[07:59] <Shalomony> Chuck_Norris: sure thing
[08:00] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: ??
[08:00] <Shalomony> Chuck_Norris: "Command not found" i take it i need to install those?
[08:01] <Chuck_Norris> i meant: cat /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab
[08:01] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: oops, i'm dumb
[08:01] <DarwinSurvivor> akaariai: could be, but I don't use it, so you'll have to ask someone else
[08:02] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: ok, "sudo kill 26821". I don't know how easily you'll be able to re-start it though!
[08:02] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: fstab= http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002551/
[08:03] <akaariai> I will try to find a usb to PS2 converter and see if that fixes my problem
[08:03] <Chuck_Norris> it's ok
[08:03] <Shalomony> Chuck_norris: mtab= http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002553/
[08:03] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: b4 doing this i need to know exactly what it will do, as its risky for me to do on remote server
[08:04] <akaariai> if you happen to know some debugging tools to use for checking what is happening that would be useful...
[08:05] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: it will kill the process numbered 26821, which by checking the output of the command you gave me should be the process ID of the tomcat server
[08:05] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: why do you need to close it anyways?
[08:05] <Guest54926> hi wats up
[08:06] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: actually i need to stop and then start it again
[08:06] <lewellyn> DarwinSurvivor: why wouldn't you just use pkill?
[08:06] <lewellyn> ads_: is there a startup script? :)
[08:07] <ads_> lewellyn: no
[08:07] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: oh, then don't run that, I can't guarantee it can be restarted easily
[08:07] <Chuck_Norris> Shalomony: i don't know how to solve it =( everything seems tobe good
[08:07] <lewellyn> ads_: how did it get started?
[08:07] <DarwinSurvivor> brb
[08:08] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: so ne other solution, i just want to start it
[08:08] <Shalomony> Chuck_Norris: thanks anyways for looking. I'm gonna get a 10.04 release back on here. Everything worked great for me on there
[08:08] <ads_> DarwinSurvivor: me too brb
[08:08] <Chuck_Norris> np
[08:09] <ads_> lewellyn: my administrator did that , i dont know, and he's not available
[08:09] <lewellyn> ads_: you might be wise to wait till he's available then :)
[08:09] <ads_> lewellyn: ok
[08:09] <ads_> lewellyn: brb
[08:11] <DarwinSurvivor> back
[08:13] <MarKsaitis> whats the diff between conf.d sites-available and sites-enabled in apache?
[08:14] <MarKsaitis> why the f do you break other softwares config files?
[08:14] <MarKsaitis> is this so that ppl get more confused when they need to config stuff?
[08:16] <DarwinSurvivor> ads_: you may be able to get some better advice in the #tomcat channel
[08:20] <RawChid> Hi, I connected an Apple keyboard to my laptop wiTH Ubuntu 12.04. But now the keyboard of the laptop is "confused". I need te press the fn key the whole time to get correct characters. Any idea how to fix this??
[08:21] <Onkeltem> Hi all. How can I get old version of a packet from a repo?
[08:21] <RawChid> I don't need/use that Apple keyboard anymore
[08:21] <ejo> MarKsaitis: sites-available holds config info for instances where you have some sites all set up but don't want them actually enabled at the time...
[08:22] <MarKsaitis> ok
[08:22] <huayra> RawChid, is this a Thinkpad?
[08:22] <RawChid> huayra: no, lenovo (also family of IBM)
[08:23] <DarwinSurvivor> RawChid: what model of lenovo (lenovo makes thinkpad)
[08:23] <RawChid> N2//
[08:23] <RawChid> DarwinSurvivor: 3000  N200   (let me verify more details in a min.)
[08:24] <Onkeltem> I need to get Google Chrome 18th version. Where/how can I get it?
[08:24] <Onkeltem> It is now autoupdated to 19, which is crap for me
[08:25] <RawChid> Yeah, 3000 n200 is the model
[08:25] <Onkeltem> How to roll it back??
[08:25] <RawChid> Onkeltem: I thought Google Chrome updates itself 'undER The hood'
[08:27] <RawChid> Hm, maybe not on Ubuntu...
[08:27] <DarwinSurvivor> RawChid: as a test, hit numlock and see if that changes anything
[08:27] <Onkeltem> RawChid: well, I need somehow to browse and get old deb
[08:27] <Onkeltem> Any ideas how to browse http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/* ? It returns 404 for any directory
[08:28] <RawChid> DarwinSurvivor: OMG, that was it :P
[08:28] <RawChid> It could be so simple. Thanks man!
[08:28] <RawChid> How did you figure that out? Or was it just an educated guess?
[08:30] <sjd_zeus> hi all
[08:30] <quick-> hi , i am a newbie and i want to remove the proxy connections for apt ?
[08:30] <quick-> sjd_zeus: hi :)
[08:30] <RawChid> Onkeltem: maybe this helps http://askubuntu.com/questions/92019/how-to-install-specific-ubuntu-packages-with-exact-version
[08:31] <Onkeltem> RawChid: for this I should know the exact version of the package
[08:31] <DarwinSurvivor> RawChid: my old laptop would mess with the enter key if numlock was on :)
[08:31] <Onkeltem> RawChid: which is not the case. For example, current version is called: 19.0.1084.46-r135956
[08:32] <Onkeltem> what was the latest stable of 18th - I can't guess
[08:32] <ndee> DarwinSurvivor, in the end, I used audit with auditctl, pretty nice stuff :)
[08:32] <DarwinSurvivor> ndee: cool, might look into that myself
[08:33] <DarwinSurvivor> ok, I'm out for the night, cya guys
[08:33] <sjd_zeus> quick-, hi,u'l vi /etc/apt/apt.conf to remove the proxy connetctions for apt
[08:33] <RawChid> Onkeltem: I understand. Sorry can't help you with that.
[08:33] <quick-> sjd_zeus:  Thanks :)
[08:33] <sjd_zeus> quick-, nothing
[08:34] <RawChid> But google would now that I guess
[08:34] <RawChid> s/now/know
[08:34] <pungi-man> is glade ( python GUI ) wxPython or any other??
[08:38] <Onkeltem> Does anyone on amd64 arch have Google Chrome 18th stable still?
[08:38] <Onkeltem> I need its version number
[08:39] <Onkeltem> I STPUID
[08:39] <Onkeltem> I have logs! :))))
[08:39] <sjd_zeus> quick-, where are you from?
[08:39] <RawChid> Haha Onkeltem, otherwise I only have chromium
[08:39] <sjd_zeus> I use firefox
[08:39] <sjd_zeus> Onkeltem, i use firefox
[08:40] <RawChid> 18.0.1025.151~
[08:40] <quick-> sjd_zeus:  no personal stuff here . !offtopic
[08:41] <Onkeltem> sjd_zeus: firefox lacks the DevTools.
[08:41] <sjd_zeus> quick-, :)
[08:41] <Onkeltem> RawChid: disaster. They deleted the version I found in logs ( 18.0.1025.168-r134367 ) :((
[08:42] <sjd_zeus> Onkeltem, :)
[08:42] <Onkeltem> RawChid: would you paste a link to the repo you are using for Chrome?
[08:42] <quick-> sjd_zeus:  no personal stuff here . for off topic discussions log in to ubuntu-offtopic
[08:42] <Onkeltem> RawChid: for chromium I meant
[08:42] <quick-> \quit "see u later"
[08:42] <RawChid> Why are you so hooked on v18?  I only have Chromium Onkeltem
[08:42] <nzee> Sound suddenly stopped working in my Ubuntu. Please help!
[08:43] <RawChid> I didn't do anything special Onkeltem. Maybe it's from the Ubuntu Partner repo...
[08:43] <Onkeltem> RawChid: because some malicious bastard made a change which had led to Autosave Extension stopped working from 19 and over
[08:44] <Onkeltem> RawChid: ok, I'll check it
[08:44] <RawChid> And now you keep on using v18 for lifetime? :P
[08:44] <RawChid> Oke, good luck
[08:44] <Onkeltem> RawChid: until it start working again. Imagine, you moved all your development to some tool, and then it stopped working
[08:44]  * sjd_zeus is away: 我很忙
[08:45]  * sjd_zeus is back (gone 00:00:28)
[08:45]  * sjd_zeus is away: 我很忙

[08:45] <DJones> !away > sjd_zeus
[08:45]  * sjd_zeus is back (gone 00:00:01)
[08:45] <RawChid> Onkeltem: I see
[08:45] <Onkeltem> RawChid: Autosave, to say truth, is saving hours per week, not to say its much more convinient to, keeing editing CSS/JavaScript on your fingertips
[08:46]  * sjd_zeus is away: 我很忙
[08:47]  * sjd_zeus is back (gone 00:00:10)
[08:47] <Onkeltem> RawChid: I now confirm I see 18th of Chromium in stable. Thank you
[08:47] <fidel_> sjd_zeus: could you disable those pubic-away-status-messages?
[08:48] <Onkeltem> sjd_zeus: they are evil, not only here, but everywhere.
[08:48] <sjd_zeus> ok
[08:48] <canllaith> They did however confirm that my utf-8 seems to be working :P
[08:48] <canllaith> (not that this is meant to be encouragement, they are evil.)
[08:48] <fidel_> i bet 1666 users of 1667 inhere dont care if you are away or not - and if so they would check your away-status ;)
[08:48] <Onkeltem> canllaith: haha, nice sideeffect :)
[08:49] <Onkeltem> fidel_: thats what I intended to say next ;-)
[08:50] <akaariai> fwiw: I added usbcore.autosuspend=-1 and my keyboard sleep problems are gone
[08:50] <akaariai> added to kernel boot parameters, that is
[08:52] <r0nk3l1> hi
[08:53] <r0nk3l1> I dont know if this is ubuntu or sas problem

[08:54] <r0nk3l1> could someone give me a hint what to do
[08:57] <Wizard> lubmil, o_O
[08:58] <Onkeltem> RawChid: huh, feeling much warmer now. Installed Chromium, copied all Chrome personal stuff, things run smooth.
[09:04] <Shani0610> I have to mend my fstab, how to escape a white space, i.e.  a spacebar?
[09:05] <erfan> lkm
[09:06] <canllaith> Shani0610: \
[09:06] <RawChid> Haha, good to hear Onkeltem :)
[09:06] <canllaith> Shani0610: so it becomes Some\ Name\ Here
[09:06] <UnixWiz> Hello all :)
[09:06] <canllaith> Shani0610: Or, you can put the whole thing in quotes for "Some Name Here"
[09:06] <canllaith> Shani0610: as an example, "/mnt/some name" or /mnt/some\ name
[09:07] <RyanMac> quit?
[09:12] <Drecondius> LMAO I really feel stupid now.
[09:13] <Drecondius> There was an option in my bios to assist in Hardware Virtualization that was clashing with the installer/os

[09:15] <aethelrick> does anyone know how I can find out which device returned by lsusb maps to which /dev/tty for virtual com ports? (I have more than one and need to tell them apart programatically)
[09:15] <aethelrick> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04
[09:15] <Drecondius> aethelrick you could probably ls their bus type
[09:16] <auvajs> hi. I have a laptop in my school but can't connect to the local wifi. "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down". but sudo ifconfig wlan0 up says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill...
[09:16] <aethelrick> Drecondius, how does one ls a bus type?
[09:16] <auvajs> auvajs: anyone?
[09:16] <Drecondius> ex lsusb = list usb devices lspci = pci bus devices
[09:17] <footprints0> hello. how can i find out the MAC address of wireless router
[09:17] <footprints0> ?
[09:20] <MonkeyDust> footprints0  ifconfig ?
[09:20] <footprints0> MonkeyDust: thanks you. does ifconfig working if i am not logged in to the router?
[09:21] <oga_> Hey all... i'm trying to get 12.04 line in to work in order to record audio. Currently no input seems to stimulate the line in. When something is plugged in it pops up as a recognised input but will not detect input. any ideas please?
[09:22] <footprints0> MonkeyDust: i think you must logg into the router for ifconfig to show router MAC address, yes?
[09:22] <footprints0> MonkeyDust: but what if I am not connected to router?
[09:22] <MonkeyDust> oga_  in a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m
[09:22] <fidel_> footprints0: in case you are connected the 'arp' command might help as well. in case you need more consider using 'nmap'
[09:22] <footprints0> fidel_: sorry, my english very bad.
[09:23] <footprints0> fidel_: my question is-- what if I am not connected to router?
[09:23] <footprints0> fidel_: thanks you.
[09:26] <auvajs> hi. I have a laptop in my school but can't connect to the local wifi. "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down". but sudo ifconfig wlan0 up says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill... ANYONE????
[09:27] <footprints0> hello fidel_ MonkeyDust . any answers, pls.
[09:27] <footprints0> i am a newdie. sorry
[09:31] <vlt> mouche: Yes, still lokking for a way to remove “Log out …” and “Software up to date” from ubuntu 12.04’s logout menu..
[09:31] <vlt> *looking
[09:32] <Blarrffll> footprints0: You could install aircrack-ng and use airodump-ng to list all of the available networks including SSID and MAC address
[09:32] <Blarrffll> footprints0: I use wicd to connect to wireless from withing gnome, and if I choose the network and choose properties, and information it shows the MAC - most wireless clients would be the same I imagine.. ?
[09:34] <Blarrffll> auvajs: Take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/62166/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill
[09:37] <footprints0> Blarrffll: thanks you. with wicd program, you don't need to login to router first, yes?
[09:38] <auvajs> Blarrffll: the wifi is installed and not blocked. I just dunno how to make it up
[09:38] <Blarrffll> footprints0: Correct - you list all of the available networks to connect to, and can see the MAC address of any of them without connecting to them
[09:38] <footprints0> Blarrffll: thanks you very much. i am download now.
[09:38] <Blarrffll> footprints0: What exactly are you trying to do?
[09:39] <footprints0> Blarrffll: i am newdie and learn about linux .
[09:40] <zizoo> Secure shell isn't doing the public key authentication thing I told it to for some reason. I see how it's supposed to work (I think) from having my main box connect to itself. It's supposed to prompt for the passphrase in a separate window, right? Even though I set it up the same way here, when I try to connect from my laptop it still asks for the user's specific password at the terminal instead. Any ideas what could be going wron
[09:40] <zizoo> g?
[09:40] <Blarrffll> footprints0: That's fine, but I'm not sure how valuable knowing the MAC address of a router would be is all.  It's a rather obscure thing to query without a very specific need
[09:41] <Blarrffll> auvajs: I don't quite understand what you mean by 'make it up' ?
[09:41] <footprints0> Blarrffll: yes, next time i learn more about linux. but kernel learning is big job
[09:41] <auvajs> Blarrffll: when I do iwlist scan, it says: wlan0: Failed to read scan data: Network is down...... so i wanna make the network up
[09:43] <auvajs> Blarrffll: so I thought the command is sudo ifconfig wlan0 up.... but when I do this, I get Operation not permitted because of some TF-kill... error
[09:43] <auvajs> *RF kill
[09:44] <footprints0_> i am now rtK
[09:44] <footprints0_> Blarrffll: wicd is veri interest.
[09:45] <Drecondius> Does anyone in here know how to work ndiswrapper?
[09:45] <footprints0_> i checked the mAC on our router. why last number is 6 on router and 5 in wicd? very interest
[09:45] <footprints0_> I am confusing very much
[09:46] <zizoo> Why is ssh asking for my host's password instead of the public-key passphrase I set up there? The identity is stored properly in my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
[09:47] <llutz> zizoo: ssh -vvv usre@host       to get more verbose errors/messages
[09:47] <footprints0_> Blarrffll: iwconfig and wicd have same address, but they both differenting compared to router sticker.
[09:47] <thrillERboy> Hi, How do I restart windows manager and all. I've pressed alt+tab now I can't see lanuncher or any windows
[09:49] <thrillERboy> I don't see, minimize, maximize buttons, window title bars, cant even get to launcher. How do I get those back?
[09:50] <oga_> can anybody help me get "line in" working on ubuntu 12.04? it detects that something has been plugged into the line in socket but never reports any actual sound input on the sound settings screen?
[09:53] <zizoo> That was a lot of very-hard-to-decipher debug messages.... So, it seems that it never actually checks the 'authorized_keys' files when searching for public keys. It only checks 'id_rsa', 'id_dsa', and 'id_ecdsa'. Any clue where I should put this stuff, or why using ssh-copy-id puts the identity in such a useless file?
[09:54] <ejo> Is there a known issue where using more than one workspace prevents hibernation?
[09:54] <vlt> Hello. Any idea how to remove the “Shut down …” and “Software up to date” lines in Ubuntu 12.04’s logout menu?
[09:54] <fidel_> vlt: you are still asking for the unity logout menu right?
[09:55] <Darael> Is there a known issue with multiple keyboard layouts after upgrade to precise?  Because I'm having trouble on about four different machines.  Each account is stuck in its default layout from pre-upgrade - others are selectable in the indicator, but doing so has no effect.
[09:55] <vlt> fidel_: Yes.
[09:55] <ejo> I followed the steps to add hibernation ability back to my 12.04 setup (knowing it wasn't there by default in 12.04) and it has been working fine, but I was only using one workspace.  Now just today I started using multiple workspaces via Unity, and hibernate doesn't work.
[09:55] <ansy> can anyone help in installing pxe server?
[09:55] <Darael> !anyone | ansy
[09:55] <vlt> ansy: Just install pkg ltsp-server or ltsp-server-standalone
[09:55] <vlt> ansy: The latter includes dhcpd
[09:56] <MacroMan> I'm having problems with ssh connection to a remote server.
[09:56] <vlt> ansy: And you should check your network environment first before runnning one.
[09:56] <ansy> does anyone help me in installing pxe server on 10.04 server
[09:56] <Darael> !elaborate | MacroMan
[09:56] <fidel_> vlt: just a rabndom search-engine hit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67927/how-do-i-get-restart-option-in-the-shutdown-menu-in-unity
[09:56] <fidel_> handles a similar task in 11.10 - could maybe help
[09:57] <MacroMan> Everything works fine and I can connect. After about 20-30 connects and disconnects, I get a timeout when I try to connect. It's not the server as other people can connect fine. After I restart my local machine, I can connect again fine. What could be causing this?
[09:57] <vlt> fidel_: Thank you. I’ll try that.
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> MacroMan  wifi?
[09:58] <Darael> ansy: Why don't you tell us what you're trying to achieve - a PXE server is presumably a means to an end, not an end in itself - and someone who can help will have a bit more to go on?
[09:58] <MacroMan> MonkeyDust: No, local network over ethernet.
[09:58] <ikonia> ethernet is local network
[09:58] <ejo> No ideas on hibernate vs. multiple workspaces?
[09:59] <ikonia> ejo: sorry, that makes no sense
[09:59] <ikonia> ejo: that's like saying Car v's hamburgers
[09:59] <MacroMan> ikonia: No, I could be on the local network over wifi
[09:59] <ikonia> they are totally different things
[09:59] <footprints0> hi dear. how to check brand of my wireless card ?
[09:59] <ikonia> MacroMan: apologies I missunderstood what you where actually saying
[09:59] <ejo> ikonia, my original question is a short distance above.  Shall I repeat it?
[09:59] <MacroMan> ikonia: No worries
[09:59] <ikonia> ejo: sure
[10:00] <esmobg> hi evry one
[10:00] <zizoo> Oh... I think I figured out the problem. I created the files prematurely by my own devices, and now it's upset that the permissions for it are too open. I found this out by using the '-i' option to specify the file. Then it gave me that warning and told me it was ignoring the file and asked for the pass again. Thanks llutz, for at least getting me started on that one. rtfm, zizoo! x__x;
[10:00] <ejo> I had hibernate working correctly on my 12.04 system before today, but during that time I never used Unity's multiple workspaces feature.  Today I started using multiple workspaces and hibernate no longer works.  Is this a known issue?
[10:00] <Darael> Is there a known issue with multiple keyboard layouts after upgrade to precise?  Because I'm having trouble on about four different machines.  Each account is stuck in its default layout from pre-upgrade - others are selectable in the indicator, but doing so has no effect.
[10:01] <frogzoo> is this month's upgrade painful or relatively smooth?
[10:02] <sary> footprints0:  lshw -C network
[10:02] <MacroMan> I'll have to drop off now to restart, but if someone has any information on my question earlier, I'll be back in five.
[10:02] <fidel_> frogzoo: talking about 12.04?
[10:02] <ikonia> ejo: I don't think so, but as a lot of hibernation issues are limited to graphics cards, using the multiple desktop features may intergrate a function cause
[10:02] <Darael> frogzoo: The machines I've upgraded where nothing went wrong were really smooth.  I had two or three have power drop out or similar midway through, though, and that was painful.
[10:03] <ejo> I will try moving all windows back onto a single workspace and then hibernating... will see if that works.
[10:03] <fidel_> frogzoo: upgrades from 11.10 to 12.04 worked pretty good according to what i hhave heard. but to avoid issues - do as you should do always: to backup first
[10:03] <ejo> ... nope still no hibernate.  Well I'll try re-doing the steps to enable hibernation.
[10:04] <footprints0> sary:  thanks you. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002731/ does it tell my chipset?
[10:06] <frogzoo> Darael: fidel_ aight, thx a bunch
[10:07] <ironshot> is this where all the leet hackers are?
[10:08] <ikonia> ironshot: not here
[10:08] <ironshot> ok then
[10:09] <Darael> Is there a known issue with multiple keyboard layouts after upgrade to precise?  Because I'm having trouble on about four different machines.  Each account is stuck in its default layout from pre-upgrade - others are selectable in the indicator, but doing so has no effect.  My extra options (such as caps-lock as backspace) seem to have stopped, too.
[10:10] <footprints0> hello. what command to find my wireless driver?
[10:10] <sary> footprints0: Yeah , and for more details for the wireless chipsets #see lspci -nn | grep 0280
[10:11] <footprints0> sary: thanks you
[10:13] <sary> footprints0: you're welcome.
[10:15] <sary> footprints0: are you having an issue with your card , is you are looking for the driver in used look at the configuration line: from the output of lshw -C network.
[10:16] <footprints0> sary, yes, i am newdie and learning about linux and my computer
[10:17] <footprints0> sary:  no problem. i just learning about it.
[10:17] <MK_3> Hi
[10:17] <sary> Hey
[10:17] <sary> footprints0: Thats great :)
[10:18] <footprints0> sary:  i repeat command. which line tells wireless driver informeyshon? Sorry, i am a newdie
[10:18] <stueng> Hi, I wish to build a machine with the simple purpose of running XBMC.. it doenst need a web browser, file manager, anything except XBMC... how best to go about this so its as light weight as possible?

[10:21] <esmobg> xchat pakage in ubuntu 12 04 is crash plesse repair
[10:21] <Heartbeats> hhi
[10:22] <sary> footprints0: i meant the configuraion line from this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002731/
[10:22] <Darael> tresk: Easiest way is probably to use a different terminal app.  There's loads out there... but if you need gnome-terminal for some reason, we can probably work out how to disable it.
[10:22] <sary> footprints0: No am not , i just happen to read a lot on the wiki/documents :)
[10:22] <footprints0> sary:  yes, i finish reading it.
[10:22] <footprints0> sary, it teaches us ath9k.
[10:22] <footprints0> that's why i say you are very expert
[10:23] <TBarth> hi, I ve a problem with Perl. Ubuntu installed many important modules into a /root/perl5 subdirectories which can't be found in a "user shell"
[10:23] <sary> esmobg:is there dailog that you could check for error in xchat.
[10:24] <Darael> TBarth: The package manager wouldn't do that.  Did you do something involving a "sudo cpan", by any chance?
[10:24] <sary> footprints0: thats the driver in used correct. :)
[10:24] <footprints0> sary, respectfully thanks you.
[10:25] <TBarth> Darael, I called "perl -MCPAN -e shell" as root user to get additional modules installed
[10:25] <tresk> Darael: The only reason is it's installed and working :) But I wonder where to disable this key binding, because I disabled the menu binding... any suggestions for another terminal app?
[10:25] <MK_3> I want to install a program in this page > http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/how-to-compile-idevicerestore-on-ubuntu.298612/

[10:26] <Guest40148> Русские есть?
[10:26] <MK_3> the commend does't work
[10:27] <Darael> TBarth: Yeah, that would have installed them to root's $HOME, which isn't the system-wide folder.  I forget how to get CPAN to install things for the system, but in the meantime, try moving the things from /root/perl5/ to /usr/local/share/perl/<version-number>/

[10:28] <Darael> tresk: terminator is very similar to gnome-terminal, xterm is the classic, and guake drops down from the top of the screen when you press a configurable key, Quake-style.

[10:29] <Darael> !pm > Campari_IV
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> Wobbo  it's gnome3, guess you can't unlock or configure them
[10:30] <Campari_IV> lol
[10:31] <Darael> Wobbo: Basically, you can't.  GNOME is moving away from that sort of onfigurability in the name of user-friendliness.  For a gnome2-like experience, best bet is probably XFCE.

[10:45] <Iszak> How do I create an archive through the command line with 256 bit encryption? preferably zip.
[10:45] <Iszak> or rather an archive that is password protected with 256 bit encrypted
[10:45] <Wobbo__> But it works normal before (as in "Classic" 11.04), now it works only in "Classic (No effect)".
[10:45] <escott> Iszak, you can use gpg to encrypt the zip archive after you make it (either symmetrically or with a keypair)
[10:46] <Iszak> escott: I can't use that, it should be compatible with win zip 9
[10:46] <Fat-Thing> i got a problem with my ubuntu 10.04....everytime i watch youtube it freezes for about less than 2mins just the video but the sound still works.....and i can't click anything when it happens any solution for this?
[10:46] <sary> MK_3: there is no error from the output ..
[10:47] <sary> Fat-Thing: using adobe flash player !
[10:47] <escott> Iszak, zipcloak?
[10:47] <Iszak> escott:
[10:47] <Iszak> mist ell, having a look
[10:48] <escott> Iszak, i really wonder what 256bit means in this context are you really going to have a 42 character password?
[10:48] <Fat-Thing> sary i got adobe flash installed already sir
[10:48] <Iszak> escott: basically the requirement is "For security the file should be zipped up using winzip 9, password protected with 256bit encryption, using a BT policy password (min 8 characters, numbers, letters and different case as a minimum)"
[10:48] <MK_3> "-_-
[10:49] <escott> Iszak, so 256bit is a fancy way of pretending you have more security than you do. thats what i figured
[10:49] <Iszak> ha
[10:49] <Iszak> so what to do in this case then?
[10:50] <openvoid_> Iszak, use 7za - it have best password encryption compared to others
[10:50] <sary> Fat-Thing: Sure you do , dump that and use html5 instead then see if the issue present
[10:50] <Iszak> openvoid_: is it compatible with win zip 9?
[10:50] <openvoid_> Iszak, not sure
[10:50] <Fat-Thing> sir sary tell me how can i get html5? any links i could read on!?
[10:50] <Iszak> okay thanks
[10:51] <Iszak> openvoid_: is that part of p7zip?
[10:51] <sary> Fat-Thing: am not a sir , please stop calling me that :) .. sure which browser you're using.
[10:51] <escott> Iszak, i'm just commenting on the fact that 256bit means a block size of 256bits (a cipher like AES can use a block size like this) you true key is the password which is 8 characters from a space of ~64 possibilities so its really 64^8=2^48 so its only 48bit encryption.
[10:52] <Iszak> escott: 8 is the min, I could make it higher if I wanted to.
[10:52] <Fat-Thing> oOps sorry sir...grrr....i'm using chrome
[10:52] <escott> Iszak, but you aren't going to use 42 characters. its big jump from 48bit to a true 256bit key
[10:53] <Iszak> escott: i can if I want to - I'm not limited on what the password is.
[10:53] <sary> Fat-Thing: i use Chromuim and i don't have to install any extension for html5 to stream videos in youtube.
[10:53] <MK_3> when i try to install  idevicerestore , I get the following output  http://paste.org/49579
[10:54] <MK_3> sary ^
[10:55] <sary> MK_3: am not sure what this lib is for .. but have you notice the line make: `libirecovery.a' is up to date.
[10:55] <escott> Iszak, if you do thats very responsible of you.  I'm not bitter at all

[10:57] <IssaMio> ciao
[10:57] <killer> hi guys....if i have to scan my windows partition for viruses....is clamav ok for that?
[10:57] <Iszak> escott: openvoid_ 7za a -tzip -mem=AES256 -p Pa55w0rd archive.zip data/ should do it?
[10:57] <Iszak> whoops no space between -p and Pa55w0rd
[10:58] <escott> Iszak, sounds perfect but the password may be a bit too complex for the end user.
[10:58] <Iszak> haha that made me snicker
[10:58] <escott> !antivirus | killer
[10:59] <escott> killer, that should give you some other links if you want to try something in addition to clamav
[10:59] <stueng> hi, if I have a LiveUSB stick can I copy a second ISO onto the USB Stick and boot that second ISO?
[11:00] <akem> ubottu, anti-rootkit then
[11:00] <killer> escott : i already have antivirus ,i just wanna know whether it scans windows partition or not
[11:00] <escott> !unetbootin | stueng
[11:00] <stueng> I already have the USB flash drive, with Ubuntu Live on it... now I would like to add the alternate ISO image as well
[11:01] <escott> killer, i've never used it so I dont know how it is configured out of the box
[11:01] <sary> Fat-Thing: I should've post the link earliar.
[11:01] <stueng> so I can choose between ubuntu and alternate.. from the same stick
[11:02] <stueng> does the 12.04 live cd use grub 2 ?
[11:02] <sary> to iso's in a stick ! would that be bootable ?
[11:03] <sary> stueng: correct.
[11:03] <sary> Fat-Thing: www.youtube.com/html5
[11:03] <stueng> my understanding is I can edit grub.cfg to add a loopback mount for the iso ?
[11:04] <Fat-Thing> i got that but it says join html5 trial
[11:05] <Fat-Thing> and when buffering i can't find the html5 on the video that's been bufferin like in the tutorial link i've followed
[11:06] <sary> Fat-Thing: remove the adobe flash player plugin first , then see if it streams with html5.
[11:07] <Fat-Thing> sary,  can u give me the command for it in terminal? pls? thanx
[11:08] <sary> Fat-Thing: depends , how you got it installed in the first place .. as i recall there are two packages to install the adobe flash
[11:10] <actarus> hello, sorry, I have a little problem with unity, doesn't show  the applications, is like unity-lens-applications doesn't work anymore
[11:10] <krad> hey.  ive built squid from source. ./configure; make; make install.. but it didn't generate a 'squid' binary file, why?
[11:10] <sary> Fat-Thing: check with apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin .. if its this package then sudo apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplugin .
[11:11] <bibi23> hi, I'd like to configure a daemon in php running all the time, I've seen one implementation based on a bash script, cron and a lock file, the bash script is executed every minute, checks for the lock file, if it isn't there, it creates it and launches the php script, is it a clean solution? or is there a better way to do a php daemon with ubuntu? thanks
[11:11]  * morsnowski likes 'sudo apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplugin'
[11:12] <Fat-Thing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002832/ sary here
[11:12] <stueng> hmm when the live USB stick starts I dont get a grub boot menu list I get a splash screen ?
[11:14] <escott> !upstart | bibi23
[11:15] <escott> bibi23, the looping bash script seems silly. one would do that because the php script might die and you want it always running, but if it dies why would you expect it to clean up the lock file?
[11:16] <Markus__> what up
[11:16] <krad> hey.  ive built squid from source. ./configure; make; make install.. but it didn't generate a 'squid' binary file, why?
[11:16] <stueng> anyone know how to get the grub boot menu from a LiveUSB rather than this splash screen
[11:17] <Markus__> hi
[11:18] <escott> !checkinstall | krad
[11:18] <escott> stueng, i doubt you can
[11:18] <bibi23> escott: yes that's true, I don't remember how the lock file is deleted with this method, but that's something I saw in a company and it looked to be working
[11:18] <bibi23> I'm going to check for upstart to see how it works
[11:19] <bibi23> thx
[11:19] <bongsawyer> hi all
[11:21] <Markus__> whts up peoplez
[11:21] <Markus__> can someone do my homework for me plz
[11:22] <LjL> erm, no
[11:22] <bongsawyer> hi Markus__
[11:22] <escott> !ot | Markus__
[11:22] <bongsawyer> im so stoned from a bong
[11:22] <LjL> bongsawyer: we don't really need to know
[11:22] <Markus__> @bongsawyer hi
[11:28] <jay__> does anyone know if ubuntu one is available on other distros i.e. opensuse?
[11:28] <trijntje> I have a program that requires X server but does not draw a window running on an external PC. Is there a way to ssh into that machine, and tell the program to use the Xserver on that machine?
[11:29] <Pumpkin-> trijntje: yeah, this is the stuff that X is great at
[11:29] <sary> Fat-Thing: Excuse me , my lap froze .. i guess X crached.
[11:30] <Pumpkin-> so basically, you have a local machine (that is running X), and remote box you want to run an app on, but have it display on your local machine, right ?
[11:30] <trijntje> Pumpkin-: no, not exactly. I want the program running on the remote box to use the X server on the remote box
[11:30] <Fat-Thing> hehe it's ok hehe but im still waiting for ur reply tho hehe
[11:31] <Fat-Thing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002832/ sary here
[11:31] <Wobbo> Only in "Ubuntu 12.04 Classic (No effect)" I can change the fast-start-buttons in the panels (top and bottom). I can only change the panels itself. Any help? But is there a way to unlock all, so that items / panels / actually all Ubuntu look like the "Ubuntu Classic (No effect)" version?
[11:31] <sary> Fat-Thing: so apt-cahce showed that package is not installed , you need to remove purge the other one which i can't remember its name .
[11:32] <sary> Fat-Thing: Yeah , i've seen the output ..
[11:32] <vekexasia> Hello all,
[11:32] <sary> Hey
[11:32] <sary> Fat-Thing: lemme check the correct name for it.
[11:32] <Pumpkin-> trijntje: most likely login to it, do "export DISPLAY=0:0", and run the app. It might need different display numbers, but that is most likely the correct one.
[11:32] <Fat-Thing> bee are bee sary need to fetch my nephew deng i forgot sorry
[11:33]  * Fat-Thing is away: ---[11:33] <LjL> !away > Fat-Thing
[11:34] <trijntje> Pumpkin-: I'll try that, thanks
[11:34] <sary> or if you have saynaptic search for adobe flash and make it then select to remove it completely , which equal purge.
[11:34] <vekexasia> I was wondering if it was possible to separate the "Status Bar" between each work desktop. I mean: When using desktop 2 i'd like to see only app-icons that are running in the desktop 2. While working in desktop 1 only app visible in desktop 1. Currently I don't have desktop separation meaning I see on both desktop the icons of all the desktops.
[11:35] <sary> Fat-Thing: my last post was for you.
[11:38] <sary> Fat-Thing: ah , the other package is flashplugin-installer .
[11:41] <makara> Hi. I'm on 11.10 - i clicked yes to upgrade to 12.04 LTS but halfway through downloading packages I shutdown. How to continue the upgrade process?
[11:41] <snake123> Hi
[11:41] <trijntje> Pumpkin-: 'Cant open display 0:0', is there a way to see which numbers I need to specify:?
[11:41] <snake123> How i can uninstall unity ?
[11:41] <trijntje> snake123: you will be stuck without a desktop environment if you remove it
[11:42] <snake123> trijntje: Yes, i find it
[11:43] <snake123> trijntje: I want to uninstall unity to install another desktop environment
[11:43] <sary> makara: at which point are you stack .. i hope you can reach the disply manager.
[11:43] <sary> snake123: make sure you install another DE first.
[11:43] <makara> sary: ?
[11:44] <snake123> sary: ok
[11:44] <snake123> first install other DE, after this uninstall unity and gnome 3 right ?
[11:45] <sary> makara: can't you continue the upgrade process normally.
[11:45] <snake123> sary: but how i can uninstall unity (3D and 2D)
[11:45] <nyuszika7h> Hi. How can I connect to a serial port from the terminal?
[11:45] <escott> trijntje, try ":0" not "0:0"
[11:46] <zizoo> Ok, I'm just dumbstruck now. Why is ssh -still- asking for a password when I disabled all access on the host except public key? I restarted the sshd, nothing. I restarted the computer, nothing. It's still asking for my password. Any help?
[11:46] <escott> trijntje, ssh -X should be setting up your display variable for you
[11:46] <nyuszika7h> zizoo: Please pastebin the output of ssh -vvv [user@]host
[11:47] <gry> nyuszika7h: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto ?
[11:47] <nyuszika7h> Everything until the first shell prompt appears.
[11:47] <nyuszika7h> gry: Thanks :)
[11:47] <Snowcrash> Heya.
[11:47] <nydel> i just checked updates - what's a "proposed update"? i see "kate KPart" under there, it seems to be a text editor component of sorts? is this a necessary package?
[11:48] <trijntje> escott: I want processes to use the Xserver on the external box
[11:48] <sary> snake123: you search for Unity packages .. but i must tell you its a bit tricky .. as i have tried that before and it asked me to remove the meta package ubuntu-desktop .. done that and i endded up missing a whole lot of packages. i want to have a purge Gnome 3 DE.
[11:48] <samina> hi
[11:49] <trijntje> nydel: I think proposed updates are updates that do not fix security problems, but other bugs
[11:49] <samina> hlo h r u?
[11:49] <snake123> sary: ok, thanks
[11:49] <ptrkmj> some dependecies printed by `apt-cache rdpends package' have `|'  prepended to their names. what does it mean?
[11:49] <LjL> samina: please try not to write like you're texting on a phone
[11:50] <samina> mean?
[11:50] <gry> samina, hello. this's a support channel, how can we help you?
[11:50] <nydel> trijntje: thanks - i couldn't tell whether it was a suggested piece of software or a real update.
[11:50] <nyuszika7h> gry: I'm connecting my smartphone via USB, what is the usual device under /dev for that?
[11:50] <randomDude> LjL: maybe they are one a phone
[11:50] <sary> snake123: here is a clue http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/how-can-you-remove-unity
[11:50] <samina> i wana chat
[11:50] <nydel> samina: we have an offtopic room for fun #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:50] <LjL> randomDude: well, surely even if they are they don't have the 160 characters limit of SMS.
[11:50] <nydel> samina: we'll be happy to have you there!
[11:51] <Snowcrash> What's the safest way to manually mount the partitions that normally auto-mount when I log into the Ubuntu partition of Linux/Windows machine?
[11:51] <nydel> randomDude: a phone that supports irc has a keyboard - i'm with LjL on this one
[11:52] <escott> trijntje, if you are using ssh -X the display variable will usually look like localhost:10.0 or some variant thereof
[11:52] <randomDude> LjL: are you aware of the ubuntu business remix?
[11:52] <randomDude> nydel: welcome to android
[11:52] <LjL> randomDude: i'm aware it exists, but i don't really know any details
[11:52] <trijntje> Pumpkin-: same error, cannot open display :0
[11:52] <snake123> sary: thanks for the info
[11:52] <Snowcrash> gry: I need some support, can you help me?
[11:52] <Snowcrash> gry: What's the safest way to manually mount the partitions that normally auto-mount when I log into the Ubuntu partition of Linux/Windows machine?
[11:53] <randomDude> Snowcrash: you mean apart from the normal manual way?
[11:54] <Snowcrash> randomDude: You seem to have mistaken me for someone with more than a modicum of know-how.
[11:54] <randomDude> Snowcrash: oh that's unfortunate
[11:54] <Snowcrash> randomDude: My research has led me to ntfs-config
[11:54] <zizoo> ssh output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002900/
[11:54] <randomDude> Snowcrash: i believe your research is yet to yield satisfactory results
[11:55] <zizoo> nyuszika7h:
[11:55] <Snowcrash> randomDude: I am simultaneously consulting a support channel via IRC, but that has yet to yield satisfactory results, either.
[11:55] <LjL> Snowcrash: try "sudo mount /dev/blah"
[11:55] <randomDude> Snowcrash: did you cleanly shut down the operating system that uses the nfts drive?
[11:55] <zizoo> Sorry for the delay, I was having trouble making pastebin work. First time using it in a while.
[11:56] <nyuszika7h> zizoo: Let me check
[11:56] <sary> snake123: You're welcome.
[11:56] <Mitchell_M> Hey ppl, I was wondering if anyone knew how to edit a .desktop file so that the shortcut to a program appears on the Ubuntu Launcher for easy user access? Is there a command or something I should add? Is there another way other than this to create a launcpad icon with a script?
[11:56] <nyuszika7h> zizoo: Apparently password authentication is still enabled.
[11:57] <randomDude> Mitchell_M: there is special declarations you must insert into the .desktop file
[11:57] <Snowcrash> LjL: That seems reasonable, but I can't locat the appropriate sda's.
[11:57] <gry> Snowcrash: I don't understand the question; I'm running ubuntu+windows dual boot and when I boot into Ubuntu, nothing auto mounts for me
[11:57] <Mitchell_M> randomDude: Do you know what it might be?
[11:57] <nyuszika7h> zizoo: Is the line 'PasswordAuthentication no' (without quotes) in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?
[11:57] <LjL> Snowcrash: "blkid" might give you hints on which one is the correct one
[11:57] <vlt> Mitchell_M: Create an Icon manuallyand then look at the .desktop file it created.
[11:57] <Snowcrash> gry: Sometimes, I can access the '212GB Filesystem' from the placed menu.
[11:58] <Snowcrash> gry: sometimes, there is an icon in the unity menu.
[11:58] <gry> I think this happens after you mounted it (manually)
[11:58] <randomDude> Mitchell_M: perhaps this helps : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11869694
[11:58] <Mitchell_M> kinda tried it, but there are many fields in a .desktop file, it's a paoin. I will try itif no one else telse me
[11:58] <Snowcrash> LjL: I'll try that, thanks.
[11:58] <gry> Snowcrash: You can mount it in Nautilus left side listing I think
[11:58] <Mitchell_M> pain*
[11:58] <LjL> Snowcrash: or "sudo blkid" perhaps, since on my system "blkid" alone doesn't list all partitions
[11:58] <Mitchell_M> Thanks randomDude and vlt
[11:59] <Mitchell_M> I'll look into both of your methods.
[11:59] <Snowcrash> LjL: /dev/sda2 is listed, but 'mount' can't find it.
[12:00] <Snowcrash> gry: Yeah, that's where I would expect to see the Filesystem, if it were mounted... But it is conspicuously absent.
[12:00] <LjL> Snowcrash: my assumption was that if it's normally auto-mounted, then it should be in the fstab, and if it's in the fstab, it should get mounted without needing to specify where. another way you can try if you're running a recent version of Ubuntu is to start the GUI program "Disk Utility", and mount from there.
[12:00] <cordoval_> rats ubuntu failed totally
[12:00] <cordoval_> it gets stuck on the first screen
[12:01] <cordoval_> all of a sudden, before it was going in but mouse was getting stuck to the left
[12:01] <randomDude> cordoval_: i have lots of first screens
[12:01] <randomDude> cordoval_: which one are you referring to >
[12:01] <cordoval_> ubuntu 12.04
[12:01] <cordoval_> not sure it seemed like a hardware problem bu tthen i realized it was something related perhaps to video
[12:02] <Snowcrash> I've got Disk Utility, but the only mountable filesystem is... the whole harddisk.
[12:02] <Snowcrash> LjL: I've got Disk Utility, but the only mountable filesystem is... the whole harddisk.
[12:02] <cordoval_> howw to check post mortem?
[12:02] <sary> @ Snowcrash , LjL .. perhaps a wrong UUID listed in Fstab.
[12:03] <Snowcrash> sary: How would I detect/correct an incorrent UUID in Fstab?
[12:03] <muh2000> pavucontrol <--- possible to have shortcuts to switch the output device?
[12:03] <LjL> Snowcrash: uh, does it see the partitions within it at all? do you see them in the graph?
[12:03] <Guest83605> hi
[12:03] <cordoval_> anyone any advise on my problem?
[12:04] <Snowcrash> LjL: Huh, Disk Utility shows no graph... do you mean Disk Usage Analyzer?
[12:04] <Snowcrash> LjL: With ring charts?
[12:04] <LjL> Snowcrash: no, i mean Disk Utility. under the label "Volumes", there should be a graphical view of your partitions.
[12:05] <sven_> fdg
[12:05] <sary> Snowcrash: see if the UUID in fstab and the ones showing from blkid.
[12:05] <Snowcrash> LjL: Wow, I'm not too observant.  YOu've nailed it.
[12:05] <Snowcrash> sary: Thanks, it wasn't that deep.
[12:05] <sven_> dsf
[12:06] <sven_> deutsche hier ?
[12:06] <Guest83605> umm
[12:06] <LjL> !de | sven_
[12:06] <Guest83605> my first time on irc
[12:06] <Guest83605> how do i set a new nickname?
[12:06] <sary> cordoval_: so you're stuck at the disply manager , or at GRUB or where exactly.
[12:06] <sven_> #ubuntu-de
[12:06] <sary>  Guest83605 /nick NICKHERE
[12:06] <LjL> Guest83605: /nick nickname
[12:06] <LjL> sven_: /join #ubuntu-de
[12:06] <Guest83605> thanks
[12:06] <heatednemz> thank you people
[12:06] <sven_> danke
[12:07] <ezoe> sometimes, compiz fails to start.
[12:07] <Baribal> Hi. The last update I did changed the appearance/interaction of the dock (again); it's time that I learned how to configure it for myself. Where should I start, where/how is the dock configured?
[12:07] <ezoe> I wonder what cause this.
[12:07] <cordoval_> sary, i am at the ubuntu . . . .  screen
[12:08] <sary> cordoval_: have you installed ubuntu already or booting the live-cd.
[12:11] <cordoval_> sary i have not tried to boot from USB
[12:11] <cordoval_> hmm this was working just now, i don{t want to reinstall but rather repair
[12:16] <sary> cordoval_: Cool , just wanna make sure about your system status.
[12:16] <sary> cordoval_: do you remember what changes you made or if you activated any driver, or is it after an upgade.
[12:17] <cordoval_> sary i am on grub
[12:17] <cordoval_> ubuntu recovery mode i guess
[12:18] <zizoo> nyuszika7h: Oh! The line is still commented out. I must have not noticed that before, haha. Thanks. I will see if that fixes things.
[12:18] <zizoo> And sorry for the delay. People are getting up around here and I had to fix breakfast....
[12:18] <guser> hi all. grub2, dual-boot, two grub.cfg (sda1 and sda2): do i change stage1 -> stage2 link with "grub2-install --force /dev/sda2"? thanks.
[12:19] <cordoval_> sary no nothing that particularly strikes me
[12:19] <cordoval_> what shouhld i do dpkg?
[12:20] <cordoval_> what could it be
[12:21] <sary> cordoval_: alright then , i'd check the file system first.
[12:21] <cordoval_> what command?
[12:21] <cordoval_> i fell back to shell
[12:22] <cordoval_> sary, i am here just at the prompt
[12:22] <sary> well , dpkg if there packages needs to be fixed or reconfigure.
[12:23] <cordoval_> what else can i try
[12:23] <cordoval_> starx?
[12:23] <sary> cordoval_: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda .. and note the /root partision
[12:24] <zizoo> Ok, so now ssh is just denying entry at all (though that is an improvement!). I have been using 'ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub <user>@<clientIP>' to send the public key, but it doesn't seem to be working.
[12:24] <escott> zizoo, what are the permissions on your private key?
[12:26] <cordoval_> sary, only i have sda1 inux, sda2 extended and sda5 swap
[12:28] <cordoval_> sary, ?
[12:28] <sary> cordoval_: alright then , run unmount /dev/sda1 , then fsck -f /dev/sda1
[12:30] <cordoval_> sary, device is busy
[12:31] <zizoo> escott: How would I determine the private key's permissions? It's supposed to give me full priveleged access to the main user of the computer, but I don't know where I'd find such a thing as the public key's own privileges, or even that that was a thing.
[12:32] <zizoo> Private key, sorry
[12:32] <zizoo> Call me ignorant for not knowing that, but yeah.... Where do I find that?
[12:32] <escott> zizoo, run ls -l ~/.ssh on both the client and server. id_rsa should be -rw-------- and id_rsa.pub can be -rw-r--r--. auth_keys should be -rw--------
[12:34] <sary> cordoval_: can you paste the UUID of root from /etc/fstab
[12:34] <zizoo> I'm using dsa, not rsa. Would that be a problem? Also, the client has no rsa files. Only auth_keys. Otherwise, the file permissions all match your description.
[12:34] <zizoo> no dsa files*
[12:35] <cash> i dont know
[12:35] <cash> !!
[12:35] <cash> hiaaann?
[12:37] <zizoo> Is there supposed to be an 'id_dsa' file on the client machine? Because I noticed it always checks that, even though ssh-copy-id didn't make one. I just set it to use auth_keys as the key file via the '-i' option.
[12:37] <mega0wn3r> I have a complicated problem. Is anyone up for a challenge?
[12:37] <zizoo> Which actually worked earlier, though not entirely.... It never accepted my passphrase.
[12:38] <zizoo> mega0wn3r, just ask the question. You'll see if anyone is up to it once they can read it.
[12:38] <mega0wn3r> ok
[12:38] <mega0wn3r> I want ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu on my laptol
[12:38] <mega0wn3r> laptop
[12:38] <cordoval_> sary, 1304d284-10f4-4e8e-ba6f-3017d5e9ab2e - ext4 errors¿remount-ro, user attr
[12:38] <sary> mega0wn3r: all you have to do is state the issue in details.
[12:38] <Wizard> ununtu.com → download ;]
[12:39] <Wizard> Solved, next.
[12:39] <mega0wn3r> I have kubuntu on my backup drive and ubuntu in a wubi install
[12:39] <Wizard> :P
[12:39] <cash> yes not a big deal..install it
[12:39] <mega0wn3r> i have my max partitions, though
[12:39] <mega0wn3r> and i can't shrink windows partition
[12:39] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, All you need is second disk.
[12:40] <escott> zizoo, dsa/rsa shouldn't matter (unless you disabled dsa on the server)
[12:40] <itai> hi there, trying to make changes to /boot/grub/grub.cfg but it wont allow me (using sudo gedit) ,what can i do?
[12:40] <mega0wn3r> The wubi install is ext4. If I do something to the windows partition it was made for, could I mess it up?
[12:40] <mega0wn3r> made from*
[12:40] <Peter3232> Hi! I have a problem installing ubuntu on a netbook. It hangs at the step where it checks the free space on the hd, the connection to the internet and whether it is connected to a power source. The mouse icon changes to the "busy icon" but nothing changes. The version I use is 12.04. I found no solution @ google but others with this problem (over 2 years ago!).
[12:40] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, Probably not, but I've never used wubi.
[12:40] <mega0wn3r> ok
[12:41] <Wizard> I'm not even sure what's that ;P
[12:41] <escott> zizoo, you absolutely MUST have the private key on the client. otherwise how can you prove you are the owner of the public key?
[12:41] <sary> cordoval_: run bkild and see if the UUID there matchs the one from fstab.
[12:41] <cash> space is d need,better purchase an external hdd
[12:41] <mega0wn3r> Is there a way to force shrink windows install? GParted gets an error but I don't care about windows
[12:41] <zizoo> escott, well, I do. It's just in auth_keys. Are you telling me to make an id_dsa file manually and add the key? =s
[12:41] <cash> mega0wn3r
[12:41] <Peter3232> any suggestions on my problem?
[12:42] <mega0wn3r> I haven't deleted cuz it has bootloader.
[12:42] <escott> zizoo, auth_keys only contains the public component of the key.
[12:42] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, OK, I read about wubi. This is dangerous ;P
[12:42] <cash> delete windows and hav ubuntu
[12:42] <mega0wn3r> I don'
[12:42] <mega0wn3r> dont want to do ubuntu over
[12:42] <cordoval_> sary, command not found
[12:42] <mega0wn3r> lots of updates
[12:42] <cash> lol
[12:42] <zizoo> So then where did the private key go? Or am I supposed to run ssh-copy-id from the client machine instead of the host machine?
[12:43] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, So, what exactly is your question
[12:43] <Wizard> ?
[12:43] <sary> Peter3232: what make and model of the laptop if known ! have you tried a kernel boot option ..
[12:43] <cash> i cant install themes in gnome...helllp!!!
[12:43] <escott> zizoo, isn't client=host?
[12:43] <zizoo> escott, sorry, I meant server, not host.
[12:43] <cash> help!
[12:44] <cordoval_> sary, there is no bkild command
[12:44] <mega0wn3r> i want ubuntu/kubuntu/xbuntu and my windows is already gone to crap. I want to add Xubuntu to a partition on my main hard disk by shrinking or deleting Windows. My ubuntu install I want to keep is in Windows, though. Also that partition has my bootloader.
[12:44] <escott> zizoo, the general process is "ssh-keygen" "ssh-copy-id user@server" that creates id_rsa (or dsa) and id_rsa.pub on the client and then copies the *.pub into auth_keys on the server
[12:44] <adv__> Hi all
[12:44] <cash> cordoval , is sary
[12:44] <LjL> cash: patience. no use repeating "help" over and over
[12:44] <compdoc> cordoval_, its blkid
[12:44] <adv__> How can I change primary partition to extended w/o formatting?
[12:44] <Peter3232> sary: its a medion akoya e1210
[12:44] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, And you use Wubi install, which means disk image sits on windows partition?
[12:44] <mega0wn3r> Yes
[12:45] <Peter3232> one of the first netbooks with the atom processor...
[12:45] <mega0wn3r> in C:ubuntu/disks
[12:45] <adv__> I am having 4 primary and was going to add another but system denied
[12:45] <Wizard> adv__, basically, you can't without dirty magic (and second disk probably)
[12:45] <adv__> hmm
[12:45] <escott> zizoo, that would allow a connection from the client to the server. if you wanted to be able to ssh in the other direction the same process would be followed, but now the roles of client and server are flipped
[12:45] <Sidewinder> mega0wn3r, Since wubi runs "inside" windows, I think it's impossible to remove windows and keep wubi.
[12:45] <cordoval_> no output
[12:45] <cordoval_> can you please paste fulll command?
[12:45] <adv__> any way we can with gparted or disk utility?
[12:45] <Wizard> mega0wn3r, This is a really bad situation. Do you have second disk?
[12:46] <Peter3232> sary: where can i change the kernel boot option?
[12:46] <cash> anybdy tell me themes in gnome
[12:46] <sary> cordoval_: just a moment please
[12:46] <ChesterX> how can i mount an iso to the folder /media/cdrom?
[12:46] <OerHeks> adv__, you can if you have a spare hdd, copy onto it and fix logical in extended and copy back
[12:46] <sary> !bootoption Peter3232
[12:46] <zizoo> So wait, regarding the commands you said to run... do I run those on the client, referring to the server, or on the server, to the client?
[12:46] <sary> !nomodeset | Peter3232
[12:47] <adv__> well I have many disc but all the later is small sized and already full.
[12:47] <Peter3232> ah ok thanks a lot sary and ubottu!
[12:47] <Peter3232> i'll try it
[12:47] <escott> adv__, you can convert primary to logical, but its best to backup first because you can destroy the data if you do it wrong
[12:47] <Sidewinder> !themes | cash
[12:47] <adv__> wizard, where can i find dirty magic?
[12:48] <adv__> escott, with which tool?
[12:48] <zizoo> escott: That is, if I want to connect to machine X from machine Y ('X$ssh Y@Y-IP'), should I run ssh-keygen and whatnot on machine X, or machine Y?
[12:48] <escott> adv__, any tool. its only a matter of making sure the partition boundaries are lined up correctly.
[12:48] <adv__> ok
[12:49] <zizoo> 'X:~$ ssh Y@Y-IP'*
[12:49] <adv__> I am using gparted , can I directly make extened partition?
[12:49] <escott> zizoo, best practice is to run it on X. that way if X is compromised in the future you remove the user@X key listed in Y$~/.ssh/auth_keys
[12:49] <cordoval_> what i did it was to reset the nvidia configuration xorg i think
[12:49] <cordoval_> i wonder how to get back inside
[12:49] <cordoval_> it would not even change after the ubuntu . . . .
[12:50] <Maghoole> any girls here?
[12:50] <adv__> thanx guys....
[12:50] <adv__> bye
[12:50] <gry> Maghoole: wrong IRC network.
[12:50] <LjL> Maghoole: i don't see how that's relevant to Ubuntu technical support.
[12:50] <Sidewinder> !ot > Maghoole
[12:51] <vexaxv> anyone know what causes audio skipping on 12.04
[12:51] <Maghoole> are you all gays?! you mean there are no hot chicks here?
[12:51] <sary> cordoval_: I see , hen you'll need to reconfigure X again
[12:52] <cordoval_> sary, please commands
[12:53] <sary> cordoval_: if you are root don't sudo .. apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:55] <zizoo> Woo, It works! Thanks escott!
[12:55] <decci> We have a VOIP software running on 2 servers. I need to install Heartbeat and setup real time redundancy, between the 2 servers
[12:55] <zizoo> I was just doing it backwards is all. xD
[12:56] <cordoval_> sary, done rebooting i had to do sudo
[12:57] <cash> sidewinder actually i know where to find em bt...dont know how 2 install
[12:58] <sary> cordoval_: any prograss ! are you able to reach the desktop ..
[12:58] <lukicat> how can i tell grub to load ubuntu with a specific resolution?
[12:58] <cash> the advanced setting box isnt showing shell extentions to installl
[12:59] <cordoval_> sary it seems that fixed the problem
[12:59] <cordoval_> scary ugprades
[12:59] <cordoval_> ubuntu is a nightmare when that happens
[12:59] <cordoval_> man
[12:59] <sk1special> anyone know if its possible to connect my kinect ( ha ) to ubuntu and control compiz cube menus etc
[12:59] <krux> lukicat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[13:00] <lukicat> ty krux
[13:00] <sary> cordoval_: great , now you can clean the mess with apt-get and continue  the upgrade process.
[13:02] <lukicat> krux, think you misunderstood me. i don't want to change the resolution of grub, i wanna change the resolution of the ubuntu. maybe i have to set this at  some different location?
[13:02] <Sidewinder> cash, Perhaps this'll help: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-Themes-in-Ubuntu-11-10-231213.shtml
[13:02] <sary> lukicat: from Xorg conf you mean ..
[13:03] <escott> lukicat, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt
[13:05] <cash> thanks dude
[13:06] <sary> cash: you install the theme zip file and load it from gnome-tweak tool .. make sure you install/ turn on the user-theme-extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/
[13:07] <xjiujiu>  Hi

[13:07] <kapz> I am hitting the wall trying to find out if my lapto supports SATA 3 for an SSD...can someone please help?
[13:09] <sk1special> kapz: cant you just serach the manufacture's website for your model and read the specs?
[13:10] <idris> hello, I cannot see any upgrade option in update manager in 12.04. I have enabled lts releases in update manager settings
[13:10] <idris> any ideas?

[13:10] <DaVinciIT> hi all. I've a Win2008R2 Server, 5 users can access via RemoteDesktop simultaneously. is it possible in linux to ? thank you.
[13:11] <compdoc> does Ubuntu log the loading of programs in init.d ?
[13:11] <cash> thanks say
[13:11] <sary> kapz: lspci will tell you all the controllers and devices, take a look at your SATA controller, it should give you a model. Take that model and look up the specs for it.
[13:11] <cash> *sary
[13:11] <OerHeks> DaVinciIT, sure
[13:11] <idris> !upgrade
[13:12] <vexaxv> anybody know why youtube and some games give me audio skips?
[13:12] <vexaxv> ubuntu 12.04
[13:13] <DaVinciIT> OerHeks: can you sugget me a guide? thank you.
[13:13] <DaVinciIT> or a software
[13:13] <sary> cash: you're welcome , i forgot to mention .. the user-extinsion follow the steps from peacewithall here https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ .. then log out / back in it should be all to the good.
[13:14] <Sidewinder> idris, I don't believe that option will be available until 12.04.1 is released; sometime in late June or July.
[13:14] <idris> Sidewinder: oh, i see thank you
[13:14] <Sidewinder>  idris My pleasure. :)
[13:15] <sary> cash: this should clear things http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1982885&page=2

[13:28] <Amijai> I cannot log in to my GTalk accounts on precise
[13:28] <chu> Amijai: With Pidgin, or some external application>?
[13:28] <Amijai> claims the password is incorrect, although I know for a fact it's correct!
[13:28] <Amijai> I think it's gwibber
[13:29] <chu> Let me consult the googlez.
[13:29] <Amijai> It just hangs on the connecting forever
[13:29] <zykotick9> !info gwibber | Amijai
[13:30] <chu> Yeah, so, we're using `gwibber', and apparently we're not able to login to GTalk.
[13:30] <Amijai> right
[13:30] <tripkip> I screwed up my samba/user configuration and cannot access it anymore other then with "security = share"
[13:30] <Amijai> I know the password is correct
[13:30]  * ekv Podravlja
[13:30] <zykotick9> Amijai: gwibber if for identica/twitter/facebook
[13:30] <chu> Well, there you are.
[13:31] <Amijai> so how can I choose the Jabber protocol when creating a new acoount?
[13:31] <zykotick9> Amijai: use an IM client
[13:32] <chu> !info pidgin
[13:32] <Amijai> I've  done from the Online Account thingie in the system settings

[13:32] <chu> Whoa, what's the default for 12.04?
[13:32] <zykotick9> chu: empathy integrates with the ubuntu stuff
[13:32] <chu> Cool.
[13:33] <allenap> Hi all. A friend had lots of problems installing 12.04 recently, all to do with bad drive warnings, seemingly spurious ones. Can anyone point me in the right direction to file a bug about this?  You're really a great helper. /nick read_the_man
[13:35] <Amijai> the same
[13:35] <BlouBlou> zykotick9, marco: ok thank you
[13:36] <fidel_> BlouBlou: kill offers several options/parameters - so it makes sense to understand the levels
[13:36] <kapz> how do I map the Fn key combos on my laptop?
[13:36] <fidel_> insteed of just using the first cmd someone advices in irc - no offense
[13:36] <Amijai> even deleted and re-created the account
[13:36] <allenap> fidel_, Myrtti: The same errors on 4/5 different drives. I wasn't there at the time, but he has written about it at http://www.belial.co.uk/?p=119. Truth be told, I like to find that this is a known issue, because there's not much more information I can give; he's moved onto CentOS so it's not going to be possible to reproduce.
[13:36] <diverdude> Hello, anybody knows if this guy is compatible with ubuntu distro? http://www.neousys-tech.com/PCIe-PoE_2+.html
[13:38] <fidel_> allenap: i noticed that error aswell with 1 single drive - and well - according to the smart-values it was a drive which was starting to die. but on the other hand - smart values are heavily discussed
[13:38] <fidel_> allenap: so i would always try to verify first with those drives - before you submit a bug
[13:39] <fidel_> you/he should be able to check those drives on other distris as well
[13:39] <allenap> fidel_: Cool, I'll suggest he does that.
[13:39] <kapz> anyone knows how to map the Fn key combos on laptop?
[13:39] <fidel_> allenap: the warning was most likely based on smart-values - so thats the starting point i assume
[13:40] <caddoo> anyone know of a good application that i can have on running on one screen that reads a log file and refreshes it everytime the file changes
[13:40] <djszapi> How do I need to package my project, if I would like to get an icon on the desktop that I can tap and run on a tablet ? What file (desktop?) to put where ?
[13:40] <fidel_> caddoo: you could use 'watch' and 'tail'
[13:40] <iceroot> caddoo: watch cat /var/log/syslog
[13:41] <iceroot> caddoo: tail -f /var/log/syslog
[13:41] <MacroMan> I'm having problems with ssh again. I can connect and disconnect roughly 30 times. The for no reason I can't connect to that server anymore. It just timeouts. Restarting my computer allows me to connect another ~30 times.
[13:41] <mega0wn3r> I need help quadbooting my computer.
[13:41] <fidel_> mega0wn3r: whats the problem/issue in detail?
[13:41] <MacroMan> I've tried restarting networking (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart), but makes no difference. I have to restart. Really need some help here please?
[13:42] <DarkLobster> I've moved my harddisks to another computer, and done some partition changes, so obviously the uuid numbers have changed. I'm now trying to make hibernation work again, but when I run update-initramfs I get 'cryptsetup: WARNING: found more than one resume device candidate: <2 uuid's>'. Blkid shows one of those numbers, but where to look for the other one?? I can't find it anywhere whatsoever!
[13:42] <DarkLobster> (disk utility, config files)
[13:42] <mega0wn3r> I want to upgade from wubi install to full ubuntu and add Xubuntu.
[13:42] <sipior> MacroMan: do you control the server in question?
[13:42] <caddoo> thanks fidel and iceroot
[13:43] <fidel_> mega0wn3r: no idea regarding wubi at all - but regarding xubuntu - do you really want to install another ubuntu with just another desktop envornment - or is adding xfce to one of your existing ubuntu-installs enough?
[13:43] <vlt> DarkLobster: `grep -r UUID /etc`?
[13:43] <fidel_> mega0wn3r: just to avoid not-needed multi-installations in the first place
[13:43] <MacroMan> sipior: Sortof (I do have access to it). But it doesn't seem to be the server as others can still connect fine. It seems local because a restart fixes it.
[13:43] <zykotick9> ignarps: mega0wn3r
[13:43] <mega0wn3r> I want xubuntu.
[13:44] <fidel_> mega0wn3r: you know that you can easily install xubuntu-desktop on an existing ubuntu-install?
[13:44] <sipior> MacroMan: do you have an odd firewall rule in place? i assume all thirty logins are successful?
[13:44] <mega0wn3r> yes
[13:44] <fidel_> mega0wn3r: so if its really just about having the xubuntu-desktop - and you have an ubuntu instal lalready - there is no need for an additional full install
[13:44] <djszapi> any ideas ?
[13:45] <fidel_> ok then
[13:45] <DarkLobster> vlt: Good old bruteforce. I'll try that.
[13:46] <MacroMan> sipior: Yes, all 30 (roughly) logins are succesful and quick. Here are my firewall rules: http://pastebin.com/MkxEx1F5
[13:46] <mega0wn3r> I also want to get rid of windows and keep wubi installed ubuntu.
[13:46] <djszapi> perhaps I am ignored :)
[13:47] <stahlie> Hi...  I've upgraded to 12.04   however   all of the windows menu is behind the bar of the top of the screen...how do i get those windows menu below the top bar
[13:47] <sipior> MacroMan: don't suppose you have access to the logs on the target? what happens if you supply the "-vvv" switch to ssh?
[13:47] <stahlie> I can't even access to those menu
[13:47] <fidel_> stahlie: behind the bar or part of the bar? using unity?
[13:48] <MacroMan> sipior: Pass -vvv locally? Yes I can get the logs, but not until I restart so I can ssh into it.
[13:48] <sipior> MacroMan: yes, "ssh -vvv xyzzy..."
[13:49] <MacroMan> sipior: Hmm. It seems to be working again now without restarting. Maybe there is some kind of timeout on the server
[13:49] <sipior> MacroMan: that was my assumption. it just takes you long enough to restart, so...
[13:50] <Lunar_Lander> hi there just got a message on the screen saying "Ubuntu 12.04 noticed an internal error, please restart your computer if you encounter further problems" and there was a checkbox with something like "report this error to canonical" and then I clicked on "More information" and it said the issue was with "unity-panel-service" and then a further window came up saying "Was your issue with Unity purely graphical?" and then something about re
[13:50] <Lunar_Lander> porting to Compiz and Yes/No buttons. Is that message normal or does it mean something bad?
[13:50] <MacroMan> sipior: Do you know where the log will be so I can see what happened?
[13:50] <stahlie> fidel_ behind the bar
[13:51] <fidel_> stahlie: what are you choosing at login (lightdm) as login-session?
[13:51] <sipior> MacroMan: /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/messages. depends a bit on which flavour of linux is running.
[13:51] <stahlie> fidel_:   you know where the tab on windows and  x icon to close the window..it's behind the bar
[13:51] <compdoc> vncserver does not seem to be loading properly. anyone good at troubleshooting this?
[13:51] <fidel_> stahlie: what are you choosing at login (lightdm) as login-session?
[13:51] <stahlie> how do I know what I chose?
[13:52] <fidel_> stahlie: logout - press the white dot next to your username
[13:52] <MacroMan> sipior: Not sure, but this is what I get when I log in: Linux ubuntu-webserver 2.6.32-24-server #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:21:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[13:52] <stahlie> fidel_:  brb
[13:52] <sipior> MacroMan: /var/log/auth.log is your best bet.
[13:53] <sipior> MacroMan: syslog as well, of course
[13:53] <Lunar_Lander> In addition to my problem above, that happened when I tried to click the "Launch" button at the very top left of the screen and suddenly the sidebar made "jerky" movement and then the message came up
[13:54] <Lunar_Lander> might that be related then?
[13:54] <Lunar_Lander> unity-panel-service seems to have to do with the sidebar I assume
[13:54] <Lunar_Lander> sorry, being a noob and still windows paranoid
[13:55] <stahlie> fidel_:    gnome classic       (Gnome is not working....  missing letters in menu listing)
[13:55] <MacroMan> sipior: in auth.log I can see my succesful connections, but no entries for the failed ones. Just gonna check syslog
[13:55] <sipior> MacroMan: might be amusing to check for bizarre firewall rules on the target as well
[13:56] <haladur_phox2> hi
[13:56] <haladur_phox2> how do i burn an ISO?
[13:56] <fidel_> stahlie: missing letters?
[13:56] <Mitchell_M> Hey guys, I've tried numerous attempts, but I cannot figure out what/where to modify .desktop files to get the icons to appear on the launchpad. I keep editing the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop area, but to no avail. Any suggestions?]
[13:56] <MacroMan> sipior: It's our test web server, so probably pretty tight
[13:56] <vlt> haladur_phox2: brasero or wodim
[13:57] <Mitchell_M> fidel: There are programs like Nero for that.
[13:57] <vlt> Mitchell_M: Did you try to add it manually alreday?
[13:57] <Mitchell_M> yeah, then compared but saw no difference
[13:57] <vlt> Mitchell_M: To see where a .desktop file is created and what it looks like?
[13:57] <fidel_> Mitchell_M: i wasnt asking - maybe you are adressing the wrong one
[13:57] <Lunar_Lander> does anyone have a moment for my question please?
[13:57] <vlt> Mitchell_M: No difference to what?
[13:58] <Mitchell_M> fidel: sorry about that
[13:58] <MacroMan> sipior: Nothing out of the ordinary in the iptables: http://pastebin.com/tMNJv1nV
[13:58] <MacroMan> sipior: Nothing about the connections in the syslog
[13:58] <stahlie> fidel_:   if it's in Gnome session.... the menu are showing  missing letter   like    "L g u t"
[13:58] <vlt> !patience | Lunar_Lander
[13:58] <sipior> MacroMan: bad habit to just post firewall rules to a public channel :-)
[13:58] <stahlie> fidel_: instead of "Logout"
[13:59] <stahlie> fidel_:  so i'm using gnome classic
[13:59] <Mitchell_M> no difference between when I added the .desktop file on the launchpad as to when I removed it. Is there a .desktop file for each user? Can you tell me where to find it?
[13:59] <haladur_phox2> brasero dosent want to open
[13:59] <Mitchell_M> I mean program not file
[13:59] <MacroMan> sipior: No one from outside our network should be able to even see the server
[13:59] <vlt> Mitchell_M: That’s exactly what you were supposed to find out by creating an Icon manually.
[13:59] <Lunar_Lander> vlt, thanks, I just found something on that error message in the Forums but not about the "extra" message about the "was it a purely graphical isssue...report to Compiz"
[13:59] <dontknow> when we will get update for chromium ?
[13:59] <fidel_> stahlie: ok - that should be a first step helping to ask a more detailed question
[14:00] <fidel_> stahlie: could you provide us a screenshot?
[14:00] <sipior> MacroMan: i notice fail2ban is set up, but you mentioned that none of the logins were failed
[14:00] <Mitchell_M> hmmm, I coudln't find it in the /home/user are for my user
[14:00] <Mitchell_M> I'll keep looking online then to see where the individual .desktop files are
[14:01] <MacroMan> sipior: No, all went through OK. I don't know what fail2ban is tbh. It wasn't set up by me.
[14:01] <vlt> Mitchell_M: Ok, step by step … Is there a new icon in the launcher now?
[14:02] <sipior> MacroMan: http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[14:02] <dontknow> when will we get chromium 19 ?
[14:02] <dontknow> update
[14:02] <MacroMan> sipior: Ah, that fit's the bill nicely.
[14:02] <Mitchell_M> vlt: Right now, no. I tried playing around with .desktop files in /usr/share/program to see if I could get it to appear on launchpad that way
[14:03] <haladur_phox2> how do i mount an ISO?
[14:03] <vlt> Mitchell_M: Please, read my suggestion again.
[14:03] <Mitchell_M> ok
[14:03] <dr_willis> MacroMan:  logwatch can summarize fail2ban logs nicely
[14:03] <dontknow> when will we fucking get chromium 19 update?
[14:03] <dr_willis> !iso
[14:03] <Lunar_Lander> vlt, the first window I got looked almost like this on the wiki page here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport only that it wasn't the gedit symbol but the ubuntu logo
[14:03] <sipior> dontknow: be nice.
[14:03] <lelamal> !language | dontknow
[14:03] <MacroMan> sipior: Thanks for your help. I'll get the admin to change the rules so it doesn't kick me out.
[14:03] <sipior> MacroMan: good luck
[14:04] <dontknow> it is still v18, this bother me
[14:04] <Mitchell_M> vlt: so you suggested for me to add an icon manually  and then look at the changes made to the .desktop file compared to when there was no icon
[14:05] <vlt> Mitchell_M: Right.
[14:05] <fidel_> dontknow: in case you really think you need it now - there is afaik a daily builds ppa for chromium
[14:05] <fidel_> dontknow: this might be an option to be more up-to-date
[14:05] <vlt> Mitchell_M: I think you haven’t done step 1 yet.
[14:05] <fidel_> dontknow: just checked - the ppa offers 18 as well ;)
[14:05] <MacroMan> dr_willis: Thanks, but i'll get the admin to look at it.
[14:06] <dontknow> fidel_, those ppa's also doesn't have updates, i want to use chromium stable 19
[14:06] <dontknow> fidel_, yes they still offer 18
[14:06] <Lunar_Lander> dontknow, may I ask a stupid question?
[14:06] <Mitchell_M> hmm, it could be I'm not looking at the right .desktop file. Adding an icon manually would not change the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. So what .desktop file should I look for? I am not sure where else to find the .desktop files
[14:06] <fidel_> ;)
[14:06] <dontknow> Lunar_Lamp, please
[14:06] <haladur_phox2> all my apps are crashing
[14:06] <dontknow> Lunar_Lander, please
[14:07] <Lunar_Lander> what is different between version 18 and 19
[14:07] <Lunar_Lander> and why not use firefox?
[14:07] <dontknow> Lunar_Lamp, there are changes of course but for me security is important
[14:07] <Lunar_Lander> ah I see
[14:07] <dr_willis> opera. ;)
[14:07] <haladur_phox2> i have no idea what im doing
[14:07] <Lunar_Lander> I got firefox with adblock plus and Noscript
[14:07] <Lunar_Lander> I think that is OK for me
[14:08] <dontknow> Lunar_Lander, v19 also has better history match
[14:08] <haladur_phox2> im still new to ubuntu
[14:08] <dr_willis> haladur_phox2:  more details will help
[14:08] <Lunar_Lander> ah I see
[14:08] <Lunar_Lander> btw while waiting for my Apport question
[14:08] <sk1special> okay.. i need to update my bios..any help?
[14:08] <stueng> I asked earlier how to get a ubuntu install without any gui.. just as simple as possible, I was tole alternate CD.. which I downloaded and installed but its exactly the same?!
[14:09] <Wawaiftyid> How to surf over an encrypted user /home/? Of course I have root privileges.
[14:09] <haladur_phox2> dr_willis: i have no idea what im doing im trying to run boot repair disk
[14:09] <dr_willis> sk1special:  not really ubuntu support related
[14:09] <Mitchell_M> sklspecial: you should really be sure you want to update BIOS before you actually have to
[14:09] <dontknow> Lunar_Lander, i installed chrome stable 19 but it is laggy in my computer, chromium builds for ubuntu gives me better performance
[14:09] <fidel_> stueng: are you looking for a cli-based install or unattend/similar?
[14:09] <Mitchell_M> also not Ubuntu related
[14:09] <Lunar_Lander> dontknow, ah I see
[14:09] <sipior> Wawaiftyid: encrypted volumes wouldn't be very useful if root could get around it :-)
[14:09] <fabiobik> hi
[14:10] <sk1special> dr_willis: ah.. i know how to do it in windows..but need to do it here.. go to hardware or..?
[14:10] <stueng> fidel_: I want a minimal installation without any GUI / applications to start with... I dont want x.org or anything
[14:10] <fabiobik> can see my messages_
[14:10] <dontknow> Lunar_Lander, yes. and i am angry now, it is still 19 lol
[14:10] <Wawaiftyid> sipior, so I can't navigate them? Wtf? I am the administrator, I should be able to watch anothers users.
[14:10] <Mitchell_M> sk1special: Best suggestion, don't do it. If you mess it up you'll end up with an irreversibly messed up up system
[14:10] <dontknow> Lunar_Lander, *it is still 18
[14:10] <fidel_> stueng: you could simply use the server cd aswell
[14:10] <sk1special> Mitchell_M: i know.. i need to in order to use win 8
[14:10] <Lunar_Lander> the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen again
[14:10] <dr_willis> sk1special: totally depends on the hardware and maker
[14:10] <stueng> fidel_: it doesnt come preloaded with lots of stuff I dont need?
[14:10] <fidel_> this should end up in a pretty limited setup aswell
[14:10] <Lunar_Lander> are those two updates like the "core" of ubuntu?
[14:10] <Lunar_Lander> dontknow, Oh ok
[14:10] <Mitchell_M> win 8 not ubuntu related
[14:10] <Mitchell_M> '
[14:11] <sipior> Wawaiftyid: complain to Drs. Diffie and Hellman
[14:11] <fabiobik> ok, im having problems to create a live usb with linux. when i create on boot says system operative missing
[14:11] <Mitchell_M> But suggested to get a new motherboard
[14:11] <gentoo_user>  hi. did someone know converter for fonts?
[14:11] <fabiobik> does anyone knows_
[14:11] <fidel_> stueng: no you can basically selexct example setups like LAMP-Server, or Mailserver, but if you deselect that you have a pretty small core install
[14:11] <stueng> i downloaded minimal just trying that now
[14:11] <fidel_> stueng: which allows you for sure as well to install i.e. kde later on
[14:11] <sk1special> i dont need a new motherboard.. just need to update it to be able to use win 8.. // didnt ask about win 8 ..just how to update bios here on ubuntu
[14:11] <Wawaiftyid> sipior, seriously, I am the administrator, there is a way to watch anothers users /home/?
[14:12] <haladur_phox2> hello?
[14:12] <sk1special> the older software version isnt compatibable with it yet..the board itself is..just need to update it
[14:12] <fidel_> sk1special: updating bios isnt really ubuntu-related or am i wrong?
[14:12] <Mitchell_M> Well, ifyou really want to know, go to the manufacture website
[14:12] <dontknow> someone who knows, build chromium 19 for ubuntu please
[14:12] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: watch a directory ?
[14:12] <fidel_> sk1special: usually the bios should come with install-instructions - which might be related with windows tools or bootable usb/floppy devices
[14:12] <dontknow> they update firefox, but they don't update chromium, this is annoying
[14:13] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, enter on it. I am talking about enter in /home/user1 and read/write his files.
[14:13] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: sure, are you the server administrator ?
[14:13] <sipior> Wawaiftyid: if you've got root access, simply log in as the user.
[14:13] <alejandro> I have a chip SMSC SCH5317 and I'm trying to make it work as it does not detect it by default. To do this, run the superiotool and shows me: Found SMSC SCH5317 (id = 0x85, rev = 0x12) at 0x4e.
[14:13] <alejandro> The theory says that the module can run the sch5317 smsc47b397 but not yet detected.
[14:13] <Wawaiftyid> how?
[14:13] <ikonia> just enter the directory as the root user
[14:13] <sk1special> fiedl_: yeah theres a usb drive part..just had never done it on linux so i didnt know if there was something different i need to know thats not on the site..but mmk
[14:13] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: are you the administrator yes/no
[14:13] <stueng> its encrypoted
[14:14] <sk1special> fidel_: **
[14:14] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, yes
[14:14] <Wawaiftyid> stueng, yes, it is also encrypted
[14:14] <Lunar_Lander> the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen again
[14:14] <ikonia> sk1special: ahh, it's encypted
[14:14] <Lunar_Lander> are those two updates like the "core" of ubuntu?
[14:14] <alejandro> Can anyone hel me?
[14:14] <fidel_> sk1special: linux isnt involved at that point as far as i know
[14:14] <dontknow> update chromium!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:14] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: ok, so switch user to root, then switch user to that user
[14:14] <fidel_> dontknow: repeating that doesnt help
[14:14] <ikonia> dontknow: please don't just say random words, ask a question wait for an answer
[14:14] <stueng> "su username"
[14:14] <stueng> ?
[14:14] <sipior> dontknow: your sense of entitlement is deeply disturbing.
[14:15] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: do you have "sudo" permissions ?
[14:15] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, can you tell me what commands to use?
[14:15] <haladur_phox2> can i have some help please
[14:15] <stueng> Wawaiftyid: sudo guestuser
[14:15] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, yes
[14:15] <sk1special> iknoia: whats encrytped?
[14:15] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: ok, so sudo -i
[14:15] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: are you then "root" ?
[14:15] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, yes
[14:15] <dontknow> sipior, fidel_ ikonia i am angry, still have 18
[14:15] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: then su - $his_username
[14:15] <stueng> cant he just sudo "insert encrypted user here"
[14:15] <sipior> dontknow: life is hard, sometimes.
[14:15] <lelamal> !help | haladur_phox2
[14:16] <sipior> stueng: yep :-)
[14:16] <fidel_> dontknow: still it doesnt help to repeat yourself
[14:16] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, shall I use that «$»?
[14:16] <ikonia> dontknow: control your anger then, the attitude won't get you far
[14:16] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: not $
[14:16] <fidel_> nor do we package chromium-browser for you ;)
[14:16] <sk1special> how do i check my hardware to see what board i have here?
[14:16] <haladur_phox2> i need to burn or mount an ISO
[14:16] <stueng> Wawaiftyid: just type in the name of the user who you want to access after sudo
[14:16] <Wawaiftyid> ikonia, ok, for be sure: su - user1   Is that correct?
[14:16] <dontknow> sipior, fidel_ ikonia why do they update firefox but chromium?
[14:16] <fidel_> dontknow: so at the end - you'll have to wait until the one doing the package is done with it in the first place
[14:16] <Wawaiftyid> stueng, ok
[14:16] <sipior> dontknow: because you aren't helping them.
[14:16] <Wawaiftyid> I'll try.
[14:17] <dr_willis> !iso | haladur_phox2
[14:17] <ikonia> Wawaiftyid: yes
[14:17] <fidel_> dontknow: ask them - not us
[14:17] <OerHeks> dontknow just wait for the update, or build it yourself
[14:17] <Lunar_Lander> vlt, so my message I got probably was just Apport notifying me of the failure of unity-panel-service?
[14:17] <phibxr> dontknow, you may want to contact the chromium team who maintains the package: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-team
[14:17] <fidel_> building it yourself should always be an option if you really think you need the latest version
[14:17] <lelamal> haladur_phox2: this is how to burn an ISO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[14:17] <fidel_> or consider using one of those updater plugins - i'Ve noticed they offer something like that as well
[14:18] <dontknow> OerHeks, i would, but my laptop probably would explode while compilin
[14:18] <stueng> is this minimal install CD installing the whole of Ubuntu ?
[14:18] <stueng> without asking me anything
[14:18] <deejay31> Are BNC's allowed in here because i swear i keep getting kicked while im away
[14:18] <zth> i have a windows xp install and a ubuntu 12.04 running on dualboot, can i in ubuntu somehow import my passwords from firefox in windows?
[14:18] <fidel_> deejay31: yes - but please configure it without public away etc
[14:19] <deejay31> Does mine have public away then
[14:19] <fidel_> deejay31: as long as the bnc behaves like a normal session there is usualy no reason to kick users
[14:19] <deejay31> Oh ok.
[14:19] <dr_willis> deejay31: i use znc all the time. no issues
[14:19] <fidel_> using irssi/screen here - havent been kicked for years
[14:19] <fidel_> which is a bnc at the end as well ;)
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander> OK people I want to know, has that problem very far above just been the normal error reporting scheme or malware?!
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander> I always thought there is no malware on linux
[14:20] <fidel_> Lunar_Lander: can you repeatthe error message?
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander> OK one moment fidel_
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander>  hi there just got a message on the screen saying "Ubuntu 12.04 noticed an internal error, please restart your computer if you encounter further problems" and there was a checkbox with something like "report this error to canonical" and then I clicked on "More information" and it said the issue was with "unity-panel-service" and then a further window came up saying "Was your issue with Unity purely graphical?" and then something about r
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander> eporting to Compiz and Yes/No buttons. Is that message normal or does it mean something bad?
[14:20] <Lunar_Lander> (sorry for just copy-pasting)
[14:21] <fidel_> Lunar_Lander: happend to me as well in the beta-days of 12.04
[14:21] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[14:21] <Lunar_Lander> the second window with "report to Compiz" too?
[14:21] <fidel_> at the end its just a visual feedback to the user and the option to access crash/problem informations as far as i can see
[14:21] <Lunar_Lander> ah I see
[14:21] <Lunar_Lander> I clicked the top left button
[14:21] <Lunar_Lander> the "start menu"
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> but it didn't open up on the first click and then it made a "jerky" movement and then the message came
[14:22] <fidel_> Lunar_Lander: in case you can reproduce that error-dialoges with an up-to-date install - consider reporting a bug if it or a similar one isnt listed at launchpad already
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> yeah
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> that was the very first time I got that
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> never got such a message on 11.10
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> and I got 12.04 for about a week now
[14:22] <Lunar_Lander> thus I was confused
[14:23] <guser> hi all. grub2, dual-boot, two grub.cfg (sda1 and sda2): do i change stage1 -> stage2 link with "grub-install --force /dev/sda2"? thanks.
[14:23] <mneptok> !enter | Lunar_Lander
[14:23] <Lunar_Lander> sorry
[14:23] <sk1special> anyone know the command to check my board specs? sudo apt tell-me-my-hardware-shiz? :]
[14:23] <Lunar_Lander> fidel_, can I re-ask you my second question as well?
[14:23] <mneptok> sk1special: lshw
[14:23] <Lunar_Lander> here: the last days when I switched to 12.04, the PC froze several times when running YouTube, I thought that there was an issue with Flash, now yesterday there was an update coming in called "linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae" and "linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae", since then the hanging didn't happen agai
[14:24] <sk1special> t/y t/y
[14:24] <fidel_> Lunar_Lander: for sure - just keep in mind that repeating in a short time is usualy not helpful. try to re-ask it as detailed as possible and in best case not splitted into 10 single lines ;) good luck
[14:24] <stueng> I am using the minimal install CD in a hope that I could install a light weight version of ubuntu, but it seems to... aha ok it just asked me nm
[14:24] <mneptok> sk1special: and obfuscated profanity os still profanity. please don't in this channel.
[14:24] <Lunar_Lander> fidel_, yeah :)
[14:25] <mneptok> Lunar_Lander: what's the "question" part of that second question?
[14:25] <jyg> I've been running 11.10 64bit for a long time with no wireless trouble.  I unstalled 11.10 32bit on another partition recently and the longer I've used it, the harder time it has connecting to wireless networks, and now it wont connect at all.  Seems like it connected to the network but i think it has trouble obtaining an address
[14:25] <zth> how do i set unity-2d to default session in 12.04?
[14:25] <fidel_> jyg: sure it tries to connect to the right network/ssid in the first place?
[14:25] <jyg> how do i begin to troubleshoot this?  most of the info i find on google is driver-related, which I don't think is the issue
[14:25] <jyg> fidel, yes
[14:25] <Lunar_Lander> mneptok, ah sorry, copying error on my side
[14:26] <fidel_> otherwise that could explain the no longer working connection attempt easily
[14:26] <jyg> fidel, also i tried an open network and it connected fine
[14:26] <Lunar_Lander> question is: Are those two things like the "Core" of Ubuntu and thus the crashing didn't happen so far?
[14:26] <stueng> zth: you edit /etc/defaults/lightdm.cfg I think
[14:26] <stueng> something like that
[14:26] <jyg> thought with the passworded network, it does not repeatedly ask for the password
[14:26] <jyg> er, though
[14:26] <stueng> !notunity
[14:26] <stueng> zth: the first google result gives good instructions
[14:28] <mneptok> Lunar_Lander: the kernel is the core of any operating system. the kernel passes requests from software to hardware. in the case of Flash, which is a LOT of assembly language, the kernel is a big part of the recipe.
[14:28] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[14:28] <Lunar_Lander> so that got updated in that update?
[14:28] <stueng> zth: its /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[14:29] <vlt> stueng: In case nobody suggested it yet: You get a minimal no-gui install from debootstrap.
[14:30] <stueng> !debootstrap
[14:30] <Lunar_Lander> OK people thanks, vlt , mneptok and fidel_ , that was great help and I hope I can loose my windows paranoia one day
[14:30] <Lunar_Lander> :)
[14:31] <vlt> stueng: I use debnootstrap for all my new setups.
[14:31] <vlt> stueng: *debootstrap
[14:31] <stueng> vlt: what does this debootstrap look like?
[14:31] <Lunar_Lander> have a good day everyone!
[14:32] <stueng> like is it... something you install ?
