[01:11] <craysiii> i found what i think to be a bug
[01:12] <craysiii> when I change workspaces with two monitors stacked on top of each other (both physically and in config), while the bottom monitor is the primary monitor, the windows in that workspace can be seen flying through the top monitor
[01:16] <darkxst> craysiii, that does sound strange, file a bug and attach a screencast of it if possible!
[01:17] <craysiii> okay i will record a video :)
[01:55] <craysiii> sigh im trying to upload this video to youtube but the /upload page wont even load
[01:58] <craysiii> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp3h5oB_QAY&feature=youtu.be
[01:58] <craysiii> i dont know where to file bug report though :)
[04:18] <darkxst> craysiii, run `ubuntu-bug gnome-shell`
[04:19] <darkxst> craysiii, if you have a webm file you can just attach it to the bug
[04:30] <craysiii> hm
[04:30] <craysiii> trying to think of how to describe this one
[04:31] <craysiii> what is that setting called, where you only allow workspaces on the primary monitor
[04:35] <craysiii> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1532511 hope i did it right
[04:43] <darkxst> craysiii, are you able to test if it also happens on xenial (16.04) live session?
[04:44] <darkxst> if it does, would be good to also file upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org, and link upstream bug to the ubuntu one
[04:45] <craysiii> can you link me to it? im willing to test
[04:45] <darkxst> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/
[04:45] <craysiii> cool, should be able to test in a few hours, my internet is potato.
[04:46] <darkxst> ok, just comment on the bug when you have, and I will see it in my emails
[04:50] <craysiii> do you think it will matter if its running as a liveCD or installed on my system? my primary concern is drivers for my GPU
[04:51] <darkxst> what GPU? if you have a spare USB make a persistent USB drive
[04:51] <darkxst> you don't need to install it, but if you use a DVD you will have trouble installing proprietry drivers!
[04:52] <craysiii> yeah I will be using a liveUSB , no dvd drive :PO
[04:53] <darkxst> you might need 2 usb sticks to make a persistent one then ;)
[04:54] <darkxst> (or you could install it onto the USB in a VM)
[04:54] <craysiii> i dont think the VM can access two screens though can it?
[04:58] <craysiii> i guess i can in vbox, ill try that
[04:59] <darkxst> no  I meant use a VM to make the persistent USB device, I don't remember if you can make it directly though
[05:01] <craysiii> ohh
[05:16] <darkxst> hi rtcoder
[05:17] <darkxst> you still working on google code in?
[05:18] <rtcoder> darkxst: Yeah I am trying to get tasks done for Apertium
[05:18] <darkxst> cool, good to hear
[05:24] <craysiii> when ubuntu releases finally pass z, will they go back to a?
[05:24] <darkxst> craysiii, yes I believe that is the plan
[05:25] <darkxst> there was never an a or c anyway
[05:26] <darkxst> they started a B and skipped C for some reason
[05:26] <craysiii> yeah i realized my statement could be confusing, i didn't mean it like *that* lol
[05:27] <darkxst> well the first 2 were just random letters, WW and then HH
[05:27] <rtcoder> darkxst: Unfortunately I was unable to find Ubuntu tasks I could work on
[05:28] <darkxst> rtcoder, there is not so much python tasks in ubuntu
[05:28] <rtcoder> I  tried another organization but mentors weren't quite the friendliest with answering many questions so I quit from that
[05:29] <rtcoder> darkxst: Yeah unfortunately. I will try my  best to learning C so I can do bugfixes
[05:29] <darkxst> rtcoder, but you found one in the end!
[05:29] <rtcoder> darkxst: Found what?
[05:30] <darkxst> an organisation with tasks you can do?
[05:30] <darkxst> or didnt you?
[07:44] <darkxst> hey ricotz, i Uploaded this to staging https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-gnome/ubuntu/gnome-session.git/commit/?id=3881b9c15a266efcc398093ea55361a84c121ad7
[07:51] <darkxst> the upstream default is particularly confusing since both entries will just   boot Xorg until you install gnome-session-wayland (not seeded by default)
[07:51] <craysiii> another thing i noticed is windows will tend to open on my top monitor even if the window that spawned them was in the primary monitor (bottom)
[07:51] <darkxst> craysiii, window placement is random at the best of times
[07:52] <craysiii> interesting
[07:52] <craysiii> just annoying having to drag down all the time
[07:52] <craysiii> even my games have started spawning on the top monitor
[07:52] <darkxst> sometimes its managed by the app (mostly in the same monitor as last launched), sometimes its managed by the window manager (mostly they go to the same monitor as cursor) and it probably goes on
[07:53] <craysiii> makes sense
[07:53] <darkxst> full screen games seem to favour the 1st physical monitor form what I have seen
[07:53] <craysiii> hm i should switch the inputs
[07:54] <darkxst> that would help if it is only games that really bother you probably
[07:54] <craysiii> also the login screen at boot goes to my top monitor, and before it went to my secondary monitor to the side, never my primary
[07:55] <craysiii> so now i have to login upside down because the screen is upside down
[07:55] <darkxst> there is no monitor config for gdm anymore
[07:55] <craysiii> so once again its probably grabbing the first input huh
[07:55] <darkxst> I think I wrote patches at one point to fix that, no idea where they ended up
[07:55] <darkxst> likely
[07:56] <darkxst> I have to login blind when my hdmi monitor is connected but off
[07:57] <craysiii> lol
[07:58] <craysiii> i think those are all my issues
[07:58] <craysiii> lol
[07:59] <craysiii> otherwise, <3 ubuntu gnome
[08:01] <darkxst> craysiii, feel free to fix it!
[08:01] <craysiii> im so dumb tho
[08:01] <craysiii> lol
[08:06] <darkxst> craysiii, go to school or something then :P
[08:06] <craysiii> haha
[08:07] <craysiii> no i like C#, ruby, python
[08:07] <craysiii> useless languages in this domain
[08:07] <darkxst> learn C ;)
[08:07] <craysiii> im trying to get employable in those techs so i dont want to divert my attention, as selfish as that is
[08:07] <craysiii> lol
[08:07] <craysiii> i used to know C++ pretty well, but that was years ago
[08:07] <craysiii> C is a different beast though
[08:08] <darkxst> not so much when you learnt it first!
[08:08] <craysiii> i actually started with java
[08:08] <craysiii> hate it so much
[08:08] <craysiii> scala is pretty cool but i feel it has a very limited usecase
[08:10] <darkxst> craysiii, python is a fucking nightware when linking back to c/C++ code
[08:11] <craysiii> yeah i usually wrote python with django
[08:12] <craysiii> dont use it anymore, moved on to ruby on rails
[08:14] <darkxst> I do simulations, the python is cool, you can simulate crazy shit in 20 loc, but anytime something breaks in the underlying libraries you have to go back and rewrite is all in c++ so you can even debug
[08:15] <craysiii> sounds really interesting
[08:15] <craysiii> what do you simulate usually
[08:17] <darkxst> craysiii, photonics
[08:18] <craysiii> o.O
[08:18] <darkxst> the underlying code with FEM and sparse matrices etc is not possible in python
[08:19] <craysiii> why dont you use C/++ for the whole thing?
[08:20] <darkxst> because doing the high level stuff is so much quicker in python
[08:21] <darkxst> when it works, its great, but when it crash, meh
[13:40] <lindol> hi all
[15:05] <Pozzo> hi
[15:06] <Pozzo> I have some trouble with ubuntu-gnome ...
[15:07] <Pozzo> I don't know exactly why... but after some hours of usage... gnome-shell consumes a lot of RAM
[15:07] <Pozzo> and when I say a lot... I mean more that 30 Gb !
[15:07] <Pozzo> then the swap runs... and the entire machine is so slow that I have to reboot...
[15:07] <Pozzo> i've not installed any extension
[15:07] <Pozzo> it's a fresh install from ubuntu-gnome 15.10
[15:07] <Pozzo> i've only changed the background of my desktop and the background of gdm
[15:07] <Pozzo> and... I need to use nvidia driver instead of the nouveau drivers
[15:08] <Pozzo>  (with the nouveau driver, my GE-770 GTX connected with DisplayPort to my screen displays a blank screen... it seems that nouveau doesn't like the native resolution of my screen)
[15:08] <Pozzo> any idea to solve this RAM issue ?
[19:51] <craysiii> good day
[19:52] <craysiii> i remembered another issue lol but i don't know if its with the OS or my monitor
[19:53] <craysiii> when my monitors get blanked, the primary monitor, once it goes blank, the backlight or something turns on so it displays just a black screen
[21:57] <craysiii> I tested the workspace issue in a VM first, doesn't seem to be affected, i will test on actual hardware tonight


[03:22] <Geodude> I bought a new headset and my mic is not working. The sound control panel is not letting me switch the "choose sound input" to "headset" like it does with my old headset.
[03:23] <holstein> Geodude: did you save the reciept?
[03:23] <Geodude> it says "internal audio analog stereo"
[03:23] <Geodude> Yes.
[03:23] <holstein> you cant look at pavucontrol
[03:23] <Geodude> At first it was only working out of one side of the headset, now it's fine.
[03:24] <holstein> you can run arecord -l and see it its listed
[03:24] <holstein> i usually test with live CD's
[03:24] <holstein> different kernels, or different ALSA versions... its easier for me to just use live CD's
[03:27] <Geodude> Now it's working. uhg.
[03:27] <holstein> Geodude: GREAT NEWS!
[03:27] <Geodude> So weird.
[03:28] <Geodude> It just needed a hot minute.
[03:32]  * philipballew needs to learn to troubleshoot as well as holstein
[13:56] <BlueProtoman> I've got a bit of a problem...last night I got a new laptop.  It came with Windows 7, so I used UNetBootin and my dad's flash drive to install Ubuntu.  But it ran too late into the night, so I let it copy to the flash drive as I sleep.  But now, Windows 7 is mysteriously gone.  Trying UNetBootin again copies Ubuntu directly to the flash drive successfully...but I can't install it onto my laptop!  It gives me the "select an op
[13:57] <BlueProtoman> I really need to get this laptop up and running, this weekend is the only spare time I have for a while!
[14:02] <BlueProtoman> Anyone?
[14:06] <BlueProtoman> The Powers That Be don't seem to want me to use Linux...
[14:07] <Abhijit> what?
[14:08] <Abhijit> windows 7 is in your internal hdd and you used unetbootin for pen drive
[14:08] <Abhijit> how this can cause any damage to windows?
[14:09] <Abhijit> BlueProtoman, ??
[14:09] <BlueProtoman> I have no idea.  More likely, it involved my battery (I left it unplugged thinking it would finish installing to the flash drive).
[14:10] <Abhijit> i dont know what caused the windows to vanish but now as you say its gone you first install windows and then install ubuntu
[14:13] <BlueProtoman> Yes, but I've refreshed Windows now.
[14:13] <Abhijit> so there is windows now?
[14:13] <BlueProtoman> I'm going through the First Boot again.
[14:14] <BlueProtoman> Yes.
[14:14] <Abhijit> then just make another partition and install ubuntu there
[17:10] <Sidewinder1> It's not really a problem but I was wondering, why, occasionally when I mount external esata/usb hard drives (through Places-->Mount 1TB Filesystem) two instances of Nautilus opens with the associated directory structures. It only happens about 30% of the time and seems to be totally random. (10.04 i386 desktop)
[17:11] <Sidewinder1> Crosspost, I know, but I waited, unsuccessfully for about a half hour prior to asking here.

[23:10] <Radios> hi
[23:13] <stlsaint> Radios: you stopping by for chat or you need assistance?
[23:28] <Radios> just snooping
[23:29] <stlsaint> Radios: aye cool

[23:31] <Radios> :-)
[23:32] <Radios> just what beginners need forget VPN
[23:33] <stlsaint> ha...another vulnerabiliy for hackers to exploit
[23:35] <Radios> ~vulnerability ?
[23:37] <stlsaint> yes
[23:37] <Radios> its feature
[23:38] <Radios> have you tested it?
[23:38] <stlsaint> nope
[23:39] <stlsaint> but if your system is compromised than you exchange access codes and that code is sniffed than an attacker just gained access to the remote system
[23:39] <Radios> so you cant say its a vuknerability
[23:40] <Radios> if our system is comrmied its ot tha aictons fault
[23:41] <stlsaint> well to me anything on the net is a potential vulnerability
[23:41] <Radios> you might as well disconect alltoghether from the internet if you think like that
[23:41] <Radios> do yu realize we live in th cloud?
[23:42] <stlsaint> no, i take security measures and tend to think like a "blackhat" to prevent such actions as much as possible
[23:42] <Radios> good luck with that
[23:42] <stlsaint> Radios: hey do me a favor please and join channel #ubuntu-beginners-team
[23:42] <stlsaint> Radios: wanna keep this room open for support really
[23:43] <Radios> you are just making your self noticed and becoming a higr rat target
[23:43] <Radios> you know the more you do to hide  the more they look for a way in
[23:44] <Radios> you are only making it hard for your self
[23:45] <stlsaint> Radios: join #ubuntu-beginners-team
[23:45] <Radios> why?
[23:45] <stlsaint> this channel is our primary support channel, the ubuntu-beginners-team channel is more offtopic based
[23:45] <stlsaint> there we can continue the conversation


[18:54] <Sadlymistaken> Hello everybody. I have a weird problem, my ethernet conexion is named eth0, but my wifi conection is called eth1 instead of wlan0, why is this happening?
[18:54] <skate> i had the same problem Dog
[18:55] <skate> i installed GNOME ALAS mixxer
[18:55] <skate> i was able to turn the speakers off and leave mater volume up
[18:56] <skate> master volume up to work the ear phones only
[18:56] <stiltzkin> Hi folks, I have a very specific question I'm hoping someone might be able to answer - particularly if you have an older Radeon video card. Does anyone know if this patch allows OpenCL to work as well as the fglrx driver? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/993427
[18:58] <stiltzkin> Or for that matter, does anyone have OpenCL working on their Ubuntu install with the legacy Catalyst drivers, and if so, what is your kernel version?
[18:58] <Sadlymistaken> You must go to ALSa an tick: Headphone Jack Sense
[18:59] <Sadlymistaken> Doglover Headphone Jack Sense had to be checked
[18:59] <DogLover> I will check Alsa out
[19:00] <Sadlymistaken> DogLover: ok, tell me if it works
[19:00] <DogLover> Does Alsa remember its settings when you shutdown and reboot?

[19:02] <tama_> Hello all. I have two computers, and one modem. one of the computers have 2 lan cards. one is hooked to modem (<IP_ADDRESS>) and the other one is hooked to the 2nd computer (<IP_ADDRESS>). The 2 lan card computer now is a router. I've installed samba, but each computer can't see each other's shared folder. What I'm missing?
[19:03] <nmittal> hello ppl.. so I just install 12.10 and unlucky enough to hit the xorg bug mentioned here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1068920 .. there is a patch suggested there.. question is how do i apply the patch..
[19:03] <ikonia> tama_: they are on different networks
[19:04] <tama_> ikonia what should I do? plug out one of the cable?
[19:04] <ikonia> tama_: how is unplugging a cable going to put them on the same network ?
[19:05] <tama_> ikonia dunno. I just have no idea how. I want they can share internet connection but at the same time can use samba.
[19:05] <ikonia> tama_: they need to be in the same network subnet
[19:06] <tama_> ikonia what is subnet? netmask?
[19:06] <ikonia> tama_: 4 network parts to an ip address
[19:06] <nkosis> Hi there, i need some help and i know is something easy but i am a noob
[19:06] <ikonia> tama_: each one is a segment
[19:07] <nokia> n
[19:07] <nkosis> what is the command to update an Online game in Ubuntu using the program Wine
[19:07] <ikonia> tama_: each segment that is different will need to be routed, (basic way of explaining it)
[19:07] <ikonia> tama_: so you need to have them on the same network - with only the last segment different
[19:08] <nkosis> could someone help? i do not know the command
[19:08] <nkosis> i have to update an online game that i run thru Wine but i do not know the command!
[19:08] <tama_> ikonia but one of the ip adress of this 2 lan card computer have the same 3 first part of IP with the other computer.
[19:09] <stiltzkin> nkosis, I'm pretty sure it depends on the game, there isn't one universal WINE command to run an update
[19:09] <ikonia> tama_: they don't
[19:09] <tama_> ikonia doesn't that means they are on the same subnet?
[19:09] <ikonia> tama_: re-read what you pasted
[19:09] <DogLover> ok that works now! Thanks a lot!!!!
[19:09] <nkosis> The game is Eve Online, and i run it thru wine, but now when opening the game, needs to be updated manually how do i do it?
[19:10] <tama_> ikonia so I should stop using the 2 lan card computer as a router?
[19:10] <nkosis> i tried "sudo apt-get update eve.exe"
[19:10] <nkosis> didnt work
[19:10] <ikonia> nkosis: that will not work
[19:10] <stiltzkin> nkosis, check the WineHQ page on Eve to see how other people have updated: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25823
[19:10] <ikonia> nkosis: apt-get is nothing to do with wine
[19:10] <ikonia> tama_: just approach it logcially
[19:10] <tama_> but then is there another way I can share the internet between the computers?
[19:11] <ikonia> tama_: you need computer a and b to be on the same network - if another computer needs another interface, that's fine and not a problem, but it must not be the routable interface for the other computer
[19:11] <nkosis> stiltzkin thanks for your help, let me have a look at it
[19:13] <stiltzkin> nkosis, protip though: don't ask for wine support here, this channel is just for Ubuntu. Try asking in #winehq if your problem isn't solved by the posts on the HQ site.
[19:14] <nkosis> will do, and sorry for bothering you guys
[19:14] <tama_> ikonia I am sorry I still can't understand that. Care to explain it a bit more?
[19:14] <nkosis> now i know where to go.
[19:14] <nkosis> many thanks
[19:14] <stiltzkin> nkosis, no bother :)
[19:15] <nexusIL> Hi, I've updated mint and now It hangs on blinkin cursor with black screen. I've accessed in safe mode and tried to remove AMD driver. it remains the same and suggestion please.
[19:15] <nexusIL> any*
[19:15] <JugglerLKR> hello! are there gnu "screen" gurus?
[19:15] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: I dabble
[19:16] <stiltzkin> So no AMDbros in here with older cards? Anyone with a 3xxx/4xxx series card running OpenCL? I'm planning on installing 12.04 now, to be on the safe side.
[19:16] <JugglerLKR> I can't resume screen session with proper encoding
[19:16] <Pici> nexusIL: we do not support mint here.
[19:16] <Pici> !mintsupport | nexusIL
[19:16] <nexusIL> K thanks
[19:16] <yash> how can i add themes to my 12.04 ????
[19:16] <JugglerLKR> while in "do-release-upgrade"
[19:17] <yash> heloo can anyone hear me?
[19:18] <holstein> yash: i just search the package manager and install them, and go apply them
[19:18] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: what is the 'proper encoding', utf8?
[19:19] <jali_f> jbroome: http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html
[19:19] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: session was in utf8
[19:20] <Edmond> im a newbie on ubuntu
[19:20] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: now when I try to resume it I can't input non-latin chars
[19:20] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: and your original session was opened with screen -U ?
[19:20] <jali_f> jbroome: oops wrong channel
[19:20] <Edmond> pinguyOS dont need update like windows?
[19:20] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: it was opened by "do-release-upgrade"
[19:20] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: don't know with -U or not
[19:21] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: ah, i have no idea what that uses
[19:21] <llutz> hrm, is it correct that 12.10s grub-menu is hidden by default (on a single boot installation) but will be shown and is not hideable anymore if you dual-boot?
[19:21] <fidel> Edmond: this is the ubuntu channel - other distributionsarent supported here
[19:21] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: now it shows "?????????? [??]  ??????????? [?]"
[19:21] <JugglerLKR> jbroome : and I can't input answer
[19:22] <Novus> hey I need some advice from a serious computer guru
[19:22] <Novus> I have a question that's really hard to answer
[19:23] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: There is a screen on:

[19:23] <fidel> !ask | Novus
[19:23] <holstein> Novus: just ask, and maybe a volunteer can help you
[19:23] <Edmond> Fidel:  pinguy is based on ubuntu, i cant ask about pinguy OS
[19:24] <k1l_> Edmond: please see pinguyOS support. it is listed on their page where to find
[19:24] <holstein> Edmond: they should have their own support.. maybe even on freenode irc
[19:25] <Novus> I am looking for a prototype PCI serial card that can monitor inputs and outputs and the data can be altered by code before it's gone back out and also would support a GUI operation to adjust variables in the code on the fly
[19:25] <Novus> inputs would be voltage levels
[19:25] <holstein> Novus: i would go to a hardware channel
[19:25] <Novus> room?
[19:26] <holstein> Novus: room, channel.. whatever you want to refer to them as
[19:26] <Edmond> okk thanks, can you guys tell me the difference between ubuntu and pinguy...
[19:26] <Edmond> why do you guys like ubuntu better
[19:26] <IdleOne> !polls
[19:27] <holstein> Edmond: there is no "better".. this is the official ubuntu support channel, and we dont (cant) support all the spin-offs here
[19:28] <sicko> hello
[19:30] <Edmond> holstein: thanks..
[19:31] <Edmond> is there someone that can tell me the difference between ubuntu and pinguyOS
[19:31] <elisa87> how can I install matplot? (I tried the gitclone method and then python ... it didn't work) "ImportError: No module named matplotlib"
[19:32] <holstein> Edmond: the creators of pinguyOS can
[19:32] <Taev> my Ubuntu boot up keeps halting at "the disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present"
[19:32] <Taev> no matter what i do, nothing happens and it hangs
[19:32] <Edmond> im new to linux so i want to know what OS i better for newbies
[19:33] <Taev> i really don't want to have to format and reinstall
[19:33] <sicko> Is arch linux hard to install if you´re a noob? i like the interface..
[19:33] <theprogrammer> in my system ubuntu has suddenly stopped detecting the custom key shortcuts
[19:33] <holstein> Edmond: "better" is a matter of opinion.. most linux os distros provide a live CD where you can easily check them out first beore installing.. try ubuntu live and xubuntu.. lubuntu.. etc
[19:34] <theprogrammer> as well as the volume keys are notworking
[19:34] <k1l_> sicko: ask the arch support.
[19:34] <Taev> i also keep getting fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed, under the recovery mode
[19:34] <holstein> theprogrammer: i would just logout and backin and test.. try as another user and go from there
[19:35] <penth> For the second time in a week, all my menus are appearing behind windows (global, right-click, chrome bookmarks et al.). Has anyone else seen this in 12.04? I didn't find a bug listing yet
[19:35] <Edmond> holstein: thanks that was the info i needed.
[19:36] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: i wonder if you can specify -U / utf8 in the /etc/screenrc file for do-release-upgrade to pickup?
[19:36] <theprogrammer> @holstein : i havetried loggin out, from another user, changing them in config files
[19:36] <theprogrammer> but nothing works
[19:37] <BluesKaj> sicko, arch uses a command line interface to install and there are approximatley 25or so steps , for a new linux user it can be duanting altho there are several tutorials you follow if you research
[19:37] <holstein> theprogrammer: it doesnt work as expected as another user?
[19:37] <Taev> well i guess ill format and reinstall
[19:37] <Taev> fun fun
[19:37] <theprogrammer> they dont work at all
[19:38] <holstein> theprogrammer: they, being the shortcuts and hotkeys? dont work in a newly created user account?
[19:38] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: thanx - trying now
[19:38] <theprogrammer> i open the keyboard shortcuts, select the voulme up, select the key on keyboard, it is assigned successfully, but the event is not triggered later at all
[19:38] <theprogrammer> holstein: nope
[19:39] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: -U didn't help
[19:39] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: i'm not sure if sticking a -U in the screenrc file is the correct syntax for that file
[19:40] <holstein> theprogrammer: then, i would try looking at what recently got upgraded..
[19:40] <theprogrammer> holstein: the problem persists since long time..
[19:41] <penth> theprogrammer, do you have a Logitech G-series keyboard?
[19:41] <theprogrammer> it seems that my system is raeading keyboard keys in wrong way, as in it should say XF86VoulmeUp bu it just says VolumeUp
[19:42] <theprogrammer> penth: nope, it is laptop integrated keyboard
[19:43] <penth> Has anyone else had problems with Unity displaying menus behind the windows?
[19:43] <theprogrammer> holstein: the play, pause, next prev keys work absolutely fine
[19:43] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: defutf8 on in screenrc didn't help either
[19:46] <penth> http://askubuntu.com/questions/181341/how-do-i-set-a-custom-keyboard-shortcut-to-control-volume
[19:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> is there a way, on a multi-boot linux system, to hide the / partitions of the other os's from each other, so nautilus ect is not cluttered?
[19:48] <levo> "at" command doesn't work properly. why is that? (precise LTS)

[19:49] <PlastikSpork> I am looking for a WiFi scanner/analyzer. I was using inSSIDer for Windows, but their version of for Linux is in beta. Could anyone give me some suggestions of what they use?
[19:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: for what purpose?
[19:49] <maveas> PlastikSpork: kismet, aircrack-ng etc.
[19:50] <PlastikSpork> I want a graphical user interface.. I've used aircrack before but its all text
[19:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: if that is what you are looking into, just install backtrack. why try to remake it from ubuntu? backtrack is based on ubuntu
[19:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: backtrack 5 r3 has various graphical front-tnds for its tools
[19:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: but in all honestly if you can't do it from terminal you have little business fiddling with it
[19:52] <PlastikSpork> ntzrmtthihu777 I've used backtrack before but my purpose is not to hack wifi networks... I want a tool to scan to see which channel to use best
[19:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: bt5 has stuff for that. hell use wicd if you gotta
[19:54] <PlastikSpork> ntzrmtthihu777:  thanks for the suggestions.
[19:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> PlastikSpork: no prob
[19:57] <bnason> Ive added my /6 ip6 to my eth0, but I can't seem to bind to any specific address. What am i doing wrong?
[19:57] <bnason> or how do I add just a single address out of that?
[19:59] <alainus> how do i resize my ubuntu partition ?  i'm getting the "Resize/Move" option in gparted as disabled .. this is my setup http://screencloud.net/v/gKwk
[20:00] <alainus> can i just unmount it ?
[20:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> alainus: you cannot use gparted on the booted system, you will have to boot a live cd/usb
[20:00] <elisa87> how can I save the document in visudo ??
[20:00] <DJones> alainus: Obvious question, but are you using a livecd/usb, you can't change mounted partitions
[20:01] <alainus> ah. but i plan to install ubuntu again from the minimal cd... can i choose to enlarge the main partition then ?
[20:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> alainus: I usually go for a 16gb /, as much swap as I feel is needed, and the rest as /home
[20:03] <leshaste> I get this error a lot
[20:03] <leshaste> Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[20:03] <leshaste> but I have no idea where it is coming from
[20:03] <leshaste> any ideas?
[20:03] <tech1_> where does the error come up?
[20:03] <tech1_> terminal?
[20:03] <leshaste> in a terminal
[20:03] <leshaste> yes
[20:03] <lnxslck> leshaste, i think it has to do with graphic card
[20:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: it cannot find the right librarry, you should likely install libvdpau* somethin or another
[20:04] <leshaste> ntzrmtthihu777, ok.. silly it doesn't name the applicaiton in the error message
[20:04] <leshaste> that would seem a no brainer to me
[20:04] <leshaste> :)
[20:05] <elisa87> "Gtk couldn't be initialized" matplotlib
[20:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: yeah, just gotta follow the breadcrumbs

[20:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> warning to all ubuntu users: never let your machine shutdown during an update. I got mine running again, but it removed 300+ packages in the process
[20:06] <LaserShark> ouch
[20:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> LaserShark: lucky for me it was a new install
[20:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> so I can just re-install, as I have a separate /home
[20:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> gotta head home, brb in an hour or so
[20:08] <elixir> Hello eveyone. I am copying a folder of around 26gb from d: to /home and getting a file transfer speed of aroung 600 kbps (started with around 8 mbps). is it usual or can i increase it somways out?
[20:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> elixir: at times fast is not good, errors can occur
[20:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> elixir: sometimes things are slow for the sake of safety, "being careful"
[20:09] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777: agreed :) but right now 600kbps only :(
[20:10] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777: thats quite convincing. :)
[20:10] <iceroot> elixir: samba? local mount? different hdds? what load? (top)?
[20:10] <iceroot> elixir: we need more useful infos
[20:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> elixir: I use dd alot for copying, and I always set it for a slower speed on important things
[20:11] <beboj> how to stop firefox from upgrading ?
[20:11] <iceroot> beboj: firefox itself (from the repos) will not update itself
[20:11] <iceroot> beboj: that is part of the software-center
[20:12] <elixir> iceroot: Yes local mount. Copying from D:/ (mounted) to my home folder. What is load(top) and samba?
[20:12] <iceroot> elixir: top will show you all your processes and the cpu load
[20:12] <iceroot> elixir: its a terminal command
[20:12] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777: possible that i am getting such low speed for the first time, so was pretty shocked.
[20:12] <iceroot> elixir: is your home-folder encrypted?
[20:12] <ntzrmtthihu777> wow, lost software center in that fiasco
[20:13] <iceroot> elixir: there can be so many reasons why it is that slow
[20:13] <Jordan_U> elixir: We don't use "Drive letters" in GNU/linux. What is "D:/"? Is it a partition on a flash drive? What type of media is your /home/ on? What filesystem?
[20:14] <demonoid_com> hello world
[20:14] <demonoid_com> "_
[20:14] <demonoid_com> :)
[20:14] <beboj> iceroot so you say I can fix it via aptitude?
[20:14] <elixir> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/xxDkG677. hope it helps.
[20:15] <iceroot> beboj: you dont want to disable updates for your browser
[20:15] <iceroot> beboj: because these updates are security updates
[20:15] <elisa87> Doesn't anyone know how I can save visudo if I have opened it using gksudo visudo??
[20:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: can you hide a filesystem from a certain boot? say I have precise and mint on two separate / partitions, can I hide mint's / from precise and vice versa?
[20:15] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: only with encryption
[20:16] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: everything else can be mounted
[20:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: I dont think you shoulda used gksudo for visudo
[20:16] <elixir> Jordan_U: Ok, i'll take care of it in future, yes it is a seperate partition. (I've installed my ubuntu in a seperate dedicated partition). I am on /home
[20:16] <demonoid_com> i have 1 TB HDD  i5-3570k 8GB 1600Mhz with ubuntu 12.04 server and if somebody wanna account or testing somthing msg me
[20:16] <elisa87> ntzrmtthihu777: so what should I use for editing visudo?
[20:16] <elixir> Jordan_U: how do i check filesyaytem ? Its a frequent question I come across.
[20:17] <iceroot> elixir: you have an ntfs mount and reading files from the hdd and also you want to write data to the hdd, that will make is slower
[20:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: I just don't want said partitions to show up in my file managers, etc
[20:17] <Jordan_U> elisa87: What text editor did visudo start? (The default in Ubuntu is nano)
[20:17] <iceroot> elixir: i would say 600KByte/s is slow but i dont think that it is worth to debug it further
[20:17] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: dont mount them
[20:17] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: then they are not shown
[20:18] <elisa87> Jordan_U: I don't know!
[20:18] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: I dont mount them
[20:18] <elixir> iceroot: ohh ! ok. not an issue then !
[20:18] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: have a look at /etc/fstab if they are mounted there, if not have a look at the gnome automounter and tell it to not mount them automaticly
[20:18] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Two possible ways are to run "mount" which lists all mounted filesystems with information about each, and "sudo blkid" which lists information about all filesystems that can be detected (mounted or not).
[20:18] <Jordan_U> elixir: ^
[20:18] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Sorry, my last comment wasn't meant for you :)
[20:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: I know what's in fstab, I set it myself. how do I check gnome-automounter?
[20:19] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Did you run "gksudo visudo" in a terminal or from a run dialog or similar?
[20:20] <elixir> Jordan_U: what type of filesystem is fuseblk?
[20:20] <Fleuv> Hello, how can i check if my ubuntu 12.04 lts server it's network is correctly configured?
[20:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: hit escape, then type :w enter
[20:21] <elisa87> from terminal
[20:21] <demonoid_com> èìà ëè áúëãàðè òóêà :Ä
[20:21] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: from inside of visudo, it says insert at the bottom, righty?
[20:21] <elisa87> is there any other way for editing visudo rather than gksudo?
[20:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: use sudo visudo
[20:22] <llutz> elixir:  fuse, like ntfs-3g etc.
[20:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> then press ctrl+x
[20:22] <elisa87> ntzrmtthihu777:  sudo visudo
[20:22] <elisa87> visudo: /etc/sudoers busy, try again later
[20:22] <elixir> llutz: thanks, heard of it for the first tim. :)
[20:22] <Jordan_U> elisa87: First of all, you're not "editing visudo" you're editing /etc/sudoers using the utility "visudo". And frankly, from your questions you probably shouldn't be editing /etc/sudoers at all. What is your end goal?
[20:22] <elixir> *time
[20:23] <Fleuv> hello, where can i find a beginners guide?
[20:23] <stiltzkin> Hi folks - is anyone here good with GRUB and willing to help me with a reinstall? I've just installed Ubuntu alongside an existing Linux system and I believe I need to chainload another instance of GRUB
[20:23] <elisa87> it's not working
[20:23] <guideX> I have an ubuntu virtualbox vm serving an apache2 virtual host, so when I'm in the vm, I can type dev.mysite.com in the browser and hit it that way, any idea how I can hit the site outside the vm in the windows host?
[20:23] <jjore> Is there a preference for disabling the "Overlay" scrollbars? The widget always seems to pop-up over the end of a window when I want to resize it or when I want to click into the trough like in Eclipse.
[20:23] <elisa87> I want to create a user!
[20:23] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: damn, do you have another editor open?
[20:23] <OerHeks> Fleuv, http://ubuntu-manual.org/  and http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ is a good start
[20:23] <elisa87> it's ok
[20:23] <stiltzkin> This is due to the fact that the existing Linux install is encrypted and resides inside an LVM group.
[20:23] <ntzrmtthihu777> jjore: sudo apt-get remove overlay<tab>
[20:23] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: What is the other GNU/Linux system? Is it listed if you run "sudo os-prober"?
[20:24] <elisa87> but ctrl+x didn't work using sudo visudo
[20:24] <jjore> ntzrmtthihu777++
[20:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> elisa87: what do you see at the bottob of the vsudo screen?
[20:24] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: Presumably it has an unencrypted /boot/ though, correct?
[20:24] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, It's a Fedora system. I'm running into problems because it's inside a LVM group. It has a separate /boot partition on /dev/sda3
[20:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> jjore: I frakken hate those things
[20:24] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, correct
[20:24] <elixir>  Also on my terminal, it is by default written: "elixir@elixir" : Is there a way to change it (username and computername) ?
[20:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> elixir: yes, not sure how. you have to edit the hosts files to change the pc name, google it a bit
[20:25] <cat_five> hi, i have an ubuntu lamp server that's crashing and was hoping someone could help me diagnose why
[20:25] <KI4RO> Fleuv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ but why can't you use google like I just did
[20:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> !ubuntu-server > ntzrmtthihu777
[20:26] <leshaste> is there something that tags mp3s based on the audio contents?
[20:26] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777: okay !
[20:26] <elisa87> [ESC ^X unbound] ntzrmtthihu777
[20:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> hit escape, what now?
[20:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: yeah, but I find that most linux audio taggers wreck them.
[20:27] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777: thanks :) otherwise if anyone sure of it, please guide.
[20:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: I use Mp3tag under wine
[20:27] <dendazen> useradd -m -s /bin/bash {user1,user2,user3} Will this work?
[20:27] <Fleuv> KI4RO sorry my i didn't explain my question correctly: Where can I find a good CLI-only! ubuntu 12.04 lts server beginner guide
[20:27] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, I've tried doing "mount /dev/mapper/blah blah blah /mnt", then "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot" and then "grub-install --recheck --root-directory /mnt /dev/sda," but that has not worked. It installs but then when I reboot I just get a plain GRUB prompt, no menu
[20:27] <leshaste> picard?
[20:27] <demonoid_com> Pls help when i type lsb_realese i have a problem
[20:27] <demonoid_com> No LSB modules are available.
[20:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> lehmae: I thinks so
[20:28] <Pici> demonoid_com: Thats normal. type lsb_release -a
[20:28] <demonoid_com> Pici ohhh yes 10x
[20:29] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: Create a file /boot/grub/custom.cfg with the contents: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5588698/
[20:29] <g_byers> if any of you care you can see my initial impressions of ubuntu on the Nexus 4: http://www.geordienorman.com/initial-impressions-of-ubuntu-on-nexus-4/
[20:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: I keep all my music arranged as ~/Artist/Album (year)/01. track.mp3, and mp3tag can tag based on the dir structure, so it works very well
[20:30] <leshaste> ntzrmtthihu777, does it do content based tagging?
[20:30] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, okay, that sounds good...but how can I install GRUB to detect only Ubuntu again? I'm assuming I do a grub-install with the root directory of /, where I installed Ubuntu?
[20:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: as in based on how the music sounds?
[20:30] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: That's because Fedora modifies grub to use "/boot/grub2/" rather than "/boot/grub/" so when you install grub from Ubuntu it won't find and use the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg that Fedora produced.
[20:30] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, ahhhhhhhhh OK
[20:30] <leshaste> ntzrmtthihu777, no.. picard does it :)
[20:30] <leshaste> audio fingerprinting
[20:31] <leshaste> it looks up the track basically
[20:31] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: Correct (though --root-directory is deprecated in favor of --boot-directory in newer versions of grub).
[20:31] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, so the commands I issued were correct? I'm just confused why I get no menu entries then, I would expect to get Ubuntu only, and no Fedora
[20:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> Jordan_U: so would makeing a /boot/grub/ dir with a symlink to the grub2/grub.cfg would do it?
[20:31] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, instead I get no menu at all
[20:31] <elisa87> how can I add a user without editing visudo?? it's taking forever to learn how to save sth in visudo and apparently no one knows here!
[20:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> when I did visudo it brought up nano
[20:32] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, nevermind, that was a dumb question. I get what you're saying.
[20:32] <Jordan_U> ntzrmtthihu777: Yes, but I'd consider it an ugly work around that would likely lead to confusion in the future.
[20:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> nano saves with ctrl+x
[20:32] <lnxslck> elisa87, visudo is for adding users special permissions
[20:32] <elisa87> is there any other way?
[20:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> later all
[20:33] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Just use gnome-control-center's user creation and modification tool.
[20:34] <elixir> ntzrmtthihu777, Jordan_U, iceroot: the speed decreased till 400 kbps and is going on decreasing, should I just let it do its own way?
[20:34] <elisa87> how can I go to "Go into gnome-control-center user accounts"?
[20:35] <Jordan_U> elisa87: If you're using Unity, then in the search entry in the dash type "add user". Then click on "User Accounts".
[20:36] <buffymcmuffy> I have somehow removed the workspace switcher from the unity bar. How do I put it back?
[20:36] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" and "mount".
[20:36] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, what's the easiest way to find the UUID of my fedora install? If I do fdisk -l it shows "/dev/mapper/udisk-luks-uuid-xxxxxxxxxx-uid999," is that what I want?
[20:37] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: No, that's the LUKS UUID of your encrypted root filesystem. "sudo blkid" should show you the filesystem UUID of your /boot/ partition.
[20:37] <elisa87> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588717/
[20:37] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, thanks :)
[20:37] <Jordan_U> stiltzkin: You're welcome.
[20:39] <Jordan_U> elisa87: The reason that copying is so slow is that your home directory is being mounted via a network filesystem.
[20:39] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Any copy to your home directory will only be as fast as your internet connection.
[20:39] <levo> after I send a process to the background like "gedit &" and when after executing I close the terminal window , gedit will close either. how to prevent it?
[20:40] <jrib> levo: use "gedit & disown", or use "nohup gedit", or use screen or tmux
[20:41] <levo> jrib: thanks
[20:41] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Do you understand?
[20:42] <buffymcmuffy> I have somehow removed the workspace switcher from the unity bar. How do I put it back?
[20:42] <Jordan_U> elisa87: The reason that it appeared to be going faster initially is that the writes were being cached in RAM, so until the cache filled up the copy appeared to be going as fast as you could read from the source, even though you weren't writing to the destination that fast.
[20:43] <elisa87> Jordan_U: is there any fix to that?
[20:44] <Jordan_U> elisa87: Do you undestand what I'm saying about your home directory being a networked filesystem?
[20:46] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, one more question - where am I adding this menu entry - directly to my grub.cfg? It says not to edit the file directly but I assume this is fine.
[20:47] <Trudko> guys i tried to install rvm on ubuntu 12.10 but i am getting error( sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm )Unable to locate package ruby-rvm
[20:50] <stiltzkin> Jordan_U, nevermind, rebooting. Keeping my fingers crossed :)
[20:52] <Ice_Strike> Does Ubunu use GRUB  or Lilo?
[20:53] <llutz> Ice_Strike: grub2 by default
[20:53] <nearst> sup ppl
[20:54] <havok> when I'm looking to install wine, The closest i can find in the software center is Microsoft windows Compat. Layer (meta pack) Is this wine?

[20:55] <stiltzkin> that was much easier than expected haha
[20:55] <stiltzkin> cheers.

[21:00] <FloodBot1> uisbubsod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:00] <nearst> obert, if u wanna upgrade to 12.10, change lts to normal
[21:00] <Dennis_> damn son, they really don't want no flooding
[21:01] <obert> nearst: its == ?
[21:01] <nearst> obert, if u wanna handle normal release instead lts, then do normal release upgrade 0,0
[21:01] <auronandace> obert: lts = long term support
[21:01] <art_> ok... so I broke something again... tried turning off the admin PW so I didn't have to put it in everytime I install something... now it's still asking for the pw but won't accept a blank field... grrr
[21:02] <nearst> lts = likely to support
[21:02] <nearst> hihi
[21:02] <nearst> !sudo | art_

[21:10] <art_> <--- doesn't think things through very well
[21:10] <obert> better to documenting a bit more
[21:11] <ModusPwnens> can someone explain to me how to make application shortcuts actually work and not get eaten up by the ubuntu OS?
[21:11] <ModusPwnens> pressing F5 never refreshes anything and instead does some system thing with the keyboard
[21:11] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: I'm sorry, i'm tapped out.
[21:11] <ModusPwnens> similarly, F2 never renames any files/folders. Instead, it just changes screen brightness
[21:12] <ruud> ModusPwnens, mac ?
[21:12] <nsahoo> what is the most stable version of nvidia driver to install on ubuntu 12.04.2? I had repeated problem with 304 and 310, so I am using noveau now
[21:12] <ModusPwnens> no, this is on PC
[21:12] <jbroome> JugglerLKR: what if you take screen out of .bash_whatever so it doesn't auto start?  Admittedly, i haven't touched a new ubuntu in a while
[21:12] <ModusPwnens> ubuntu version 12.04
[21:12] <skate> was
[21:13] <jacklk> Is Ubuntu just for computer geeks or do any normal people use it too?
[21:13] <ModusPwnens> its as if there is some FN key perpetually pushed down
[21:13] <auronandace> nsahoo: why not just stick with nouveau?
[21:13] <auronandace> jacklk: define normal
[21:13] <clandestine> saindo
[21:13] <clandestine> tbm
[21:13] <nearst> im use ubuntu bcoz i dont know how to use windows
[21:14] <nsahoo> auronandace: though, i like it for stability, on a dual monitor setup some part of the maximized windows are drawing slowly when I quickly switch from one tab to another. Particularly in mysql workbench
[21:16] <ModusPwnens> i notice that its just this particular keyboard that is causing this problem. Ive i use a different keyboard, application shortcuts actually work
[21:16] <jacklk> auronandace: 18 year old who likes watching videos, and works in a shop for example but uses it for home use
[21:17] <auronandace> jacklk: then yes, "normal people" use ubuntu
[21:21] <matthew> Hi
[21:21] <Guest61087> HI
[21:22] <John12109> as the ubuntu mobile out yet for android?
[21:23] <auronandace> !phone | John12109
[21:23] <JugglerLKR> jbroome: actually i want to resume do-release-upgrade
[21:23] <Guest61087> I've got a problem, in that, I have a openvz server on the web and I can't seem to 'su' to any user, with the error 'su: Authentication failure'. I have changed the password several times, for root and the other users that I have tried 'su'ing to, but not luck
[21:24] <John12109> ok
[21:24] <John12109> i need to find a software to intall it
[21:26] <Ice_Strike> Will Ubunto work if I downgrade kernal 3.4.26 ?
[21:27] <bean|work> Ice_Strike: ubuntu should work no matter what kernel you're on
[21:28] <kbk> 4nn4rbor
[21:28] <Ice_Strike> bean|work How do I downgrade it? Currently on 3.5.x now
[21:28] <bean|work> Ice_Strike: do you have an old one installed
[21:29] <tortik> hi all
[21:29] <tortik> is any software for renaming mp3 files by info exctracted from id3 tag?
[21:29] <Guest88630> Guest88630 here. Someday I will learn.
[21:29] <matthew_> Hi
[21:29] <Ice_Strike> bean|work No
[21:29] <Ice_Strike> This is fresh Ubunto install
[21:30] <bean|work> Ice_Strike: the name is Ubuntu...
[21:30] <Ice_Strike> Oop :P
[21:30] <verysoftoiletppr> how can I reinstall libc6?
[21:30] <bean|work> Ice_Strike: and why do you need an old kernel.
[21:30] <Jordan_U> verysoftoiletppr: Why do you ask?
[21:31] <verysoftoiletppr> Jeepbeats I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info
[21:31] <verysoftoiletppr> Jordan_U I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info
[21:31] <verysoftoiletppr> I need to restore it
[21:31] <jacklk>
[21:31] <verysoftoiletppr> the only package missing information now is libc6
[21:32] <Pici> verysoftoiletppr: We told you to reinstall last time you were here.
[21:32] <verysoftoiletppr> Pici I know
[21:32] <verysoftoiletppr> that is not good enough
[21:33] <verysoftoiletppr> Pici what I really want it to reinstall libc6
[21:33] <jacklk> verysoftoiletppr: install libc7
[21:33] <verysoftoiletppr> jacklk can that be used as replacement for libc6?
[21:33] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6
[21:34] <jacklk> verysoftoiletppr: yes it is just newer
[21:34] <auronandace> !joke
[21:34] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst that doesn't work
[21:34] <jacklk> verysoftoiletppr: what do you need it for anyway?
[21:34] <verysoftoiletppr> jacklk you are right, I will just delete it..
[21:34] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, try remove purge then install it back
[21:34] <verysoftoiletppr> I don't need it anyway
[21:35] <jacklk> verysoftoiletppr: exactly
[21:35] <jacklk> I never have to worry about packages like that..
[21:35] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst can't remove it
[21:35] <jacklk> verysoftoiletppr: purge?
[21:35] <verysoftoiletppr> if I remove it nothing will work
[21:36] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, why cant remove ? compile from binary ? dpkg -l | grep libc6
[21:36] <jacklk> well keep it installed then :)
[21:36] <John12109> so i upload this to my phone, and boot in bootloader?
[21:37] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588837/
[21:37] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst if I remove, won't the files which are installed be removed?
[21:40] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, indeed :)
[21:40] <Ice_Strike> There is no problem if I do wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.4.11.tar.bz2
[21:40] <Ice_Strike> and use that?
[21:40] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst the problem is: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `libc6' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[21:40] <nearst> Ice_Strike, i think there is like 3.8 kernel from ppa. just try to google it then. unless ure ready to exploring the kernel panic
[21:41] <M1DLG> When I try to run ndiswrapper I get this error - "Failed to run /usr/sbin/ndisgtk as user root. unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." This error came about the same time as I had a a couple of boot ups that tried to force a disk repair.
[21:41] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst and then "A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so'"
[21:41] <verysoftoiletppr> It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
[21:43] <elisa87> Why am I receiving this error?  source ~/.bashrc ? H: command not found
[21:45] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, try look at ls -al /lib/libc.so.6 the symlink
[21:46] <levo> is it possible to have controls over windows through terminal? (minimzing, maximizing or . . )
[21:47] <auronandace> verysoftoiletppr: its rather simple: if you are at the point where you need to reinstall libc6 then your system is broken, you really should reinstall ubuntu
[21:47] <auronandace> as you have been told
[21:47] <elisa87> do you know why?
[21:47] <elisa87> source ~/.bashrc
[21:47] <elisa87> H: command not found
[21:48] <iceroot> elisa87: you have "H:" in your bashrc
[21:48] <verysoftoiletppr> auronandace  what you mean with "is broken"
[21:48] <gase> g
[21:48] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: the most important package is libc6, if that is broken you are lost
[21:48] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: as we told you since hours
[21:49] <John12109> is there a software were i can install it from?
[21:49] <Tynach> Hi, I'm trying to install the Humble Bundle with Android 5 games on Ubuntu, and I wanted to do it through the software center for one of them (all but one are supported on Steam for Linux). However, when I follow the link, Ubuntu's website gives me this error: "Sorry we could not find this key. If you have already purchased the bundle, please double check the link you followed and try again."
[21:49] <Tynach> What's going on?
[21:49] <iceroot> John12109: install what?
[21:49] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot that must not be true http://people.adams.edu/~cdmiller/posts/Ubuntu-dpkg-recovery/
[21:49] <John12109> ubuntu mobile
[21:50] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: you destroyed libc6
[21:50] <John12109> for andorid
[21:50] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: we are not talking about dpkg anymore
[21:50] <John12109> android***
[21:50] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot I didn't destroy it
[21:50] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot it's still there
[21:50] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: you modified it (if i get you correct) you moved it
[21:50] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot no I did not
[21:50] <verysoftoiletppr> I've recovered from that
[21:51] <verysoftoiletppr> I just need to fix the files from /var/lib/dpkg/info
[21:51] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: take another ubuntu installation (same architecture, same packages) and copy the removed file from there to your system
[21:52] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot that would be a very useful suggestion
[21:52] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: or just reinstall
[21:52] <verysoftoiletppr> ^ not useful
[21:53] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: not useful is to use sudo rm :)
[21:53] <verysoftoiletppr> :)
[21:53] <verysoftoiletppr> now I have another problem
[21:53] <brun0> sorry by the dummy question.. but somebody know where can i find gcov source code ?
[21:53] <brun0> my friend google couldn't help me :(
[21:54] <iceroot> brun0: is that a package from the repo?
[21:54] <brun0> i think no
[21:54] <iceroot> brun0: ggcov - Graphical tool for displaying gcov test coverage data
[21:54] <iceroot> brun0: that?
[21:54] <verysoftoiletppr> I've downgraded libc6-dev
[21:54] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: reinstall please
[21:54] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot how can I upgrade?
[21:54] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: just reinstall
[21:54] <brun0> no
[21:54] <Tynach> I guess nobody knows what's going on with Ubuntu's website in regards to the Humble Bundle?
[21:54] <brun0> only gcov
[21:54] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: way to many issues on your strange system
[21:54] <brun0> without graphical frontend
[21:54] <osirisx11> hi all
[21:55] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot noooo
[21:55] <verysoftoiletppr> way to many configuration in to reinstall everything
[21:55] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: you removed the postinst files, the package-definitions, you messed up libc6 and you downgraded libc6-dev
[21:55] <osirisx11> simple question for you, on the graphical ubuntu installer, when installing alongside windows, a splitter representing hard drive space is shown. problem is the two sides are unlabeled, which side is which?
[21:55] <brun0> iceroot, do you know ?
[21:55] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: just create a usefull backup of your config and reinstall
[21:55] <Taev> how do i add acpi=off to my boot options in grub?
[21:55] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot it's not as simple as that
[21:56] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: for me it is
[21:56] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: who knows what else you missonfigured with your "repair"
[21:56] <brun0> iceroot, sorry i can install the package from repo, but i couldn't find the source code :(
[21:56] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot nothing else
[21:56] <iceroot> donwgraded libc6-dev and missconfigured libc6 is very evil
[21:57] <iceroot> brun0: apt-get source packagename
[21:57] <trism> brun0: it is included in the gcc source
[21:57] <nearst> brb
[21:58] <brun0> iceroot, thanks ;)
[21:58] <osirisx11> help! on the graphical ubuntu installer, when installing alongside windows, a splitter representing hard drive space is shown. problem is the two sides are unlabeled, which side is which?
[21:58] <antonio_> does anyone in here use handbrake?
[21:59] <brun0> trism, but can i generate a lib from it ?
[21:59] <p3rror> hello

[22:00] <p3rror> and I dont have wireless network name in my network manager
[22:00] <p3rror> please can you help

[22:03] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot I have a LVM volume how do I set that back after reinstalling
[22:04] <pr0ph3t> looking for help regarding ffmpeg
[22:04] <verysoftoiletppr> LVM volume made up from partitions from 2 disks
[22:04] <wN> verysoftoiletppr: sup?
[22:04] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: the lvm info is stored on the partition itself
[22:04] <iceroot> verysoftoiletppr: like raid
[22:04] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot but how do I mount it?
[22:05] <verysoftoiletppr> I mean, which partition?
[22:05] <k1l_> !ask | pr0ph3t
[22:05] <verysoftoiletppr> it's stored in which partition?
[22:05] <iceroot> !lvm | verysoftoiletppr

[22:14] <M1DLG> Anyone able to talk me through updating my nvidia drivers to play steam games. (I get an error when steam starts then it closes)
[22:15] <Kion> M1DLG: have you installed the Nvidia drivers?
[22:15] <M1DLG> I have
[22:15] <ev0lve> M1DLG: apt-get install nvidia-common -y
[22:16] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot solved the dependency problems
[22:16] <M1DLG> But I get out of date errors and my PC seems less stable since
[22:16] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot are you running precise?
[22:16] <Kion> M1DLG: for me I actually had to download the driver from Nvidia and install it manually
[22:17] <verysoftoiletppr> can you send me the files you have which match '/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6*'  ?
[22:17] <M1DLG> Kion, I did, I ended up worse off I think, I tried 3 times through the additional drivers icon and stuffed up ever time and had to reformate each time.
[22:18] <M1DLG>  apt-get install nvidia-common -y
[22:18] <Kion> M1DLG:  here is the procedure 1.- download the Driver and set execution permits.  2.- ctrl + alt +f1 to open a tty terminal   3.- sudo /etc/init.d/ligthdm stop 4.-sudo sh NVIDIA.name.of.your.driver    5.- sudo reboot
[22:18] <M1DLG> oops
[22:18] <M1DLG> I got this error, W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[22:18] <M1DLG> evolve
[22:18] <M1DLG> ok kion, let me try
[22:19] <Kion> M1DLG: if you follow my procedure, you will not be able to use IRC chat while on the terminal
[22:19] <Kion> M1DLG: until you reboot
[22:19] <M1DLG> will move that over to the other PC. unfortunatly i'm slow typest
[22:20] <verysoftoiletppr> jackyyll you there
[22:21] <John12109> um
[22:22] <m1dlgALT> ok, rady
[22:22] <m1dlgALT> *Ready
[22:25] <wachpwnski> hey guys when you do a run command like smb://computer_name it fails
[22:25] <wachpwnski> But if you do like nautilis smb://computer_name it work
[22:25] <wachpwnski> Is there a way to set it to default to nautalis or nemo when you run smb:// ?
[22:26] <s0nee> wachpwnski: because smb:// is not a command, its a protocol
[22:27] <wachpwnski> s0nee: can i set up an alias or something?
[22:27] <s0nee> wachpwnski: just like http:// can be opened in a browser only
[22:27] <Pici> wachpwnski: you should be able to run something like nautilus smb://computer_name
[22:28] <wachpwnski> yah i can, but is there a way I can set an alias?
[22:28] <s0nee> wachpwnski: so you want to automatically open nautilus whenever you type smb://something ?
[22:29] <Dogfather> #
[22:29] <miebster_atwork> When I sudo my command it can't find it, and if I don't sudo it, it can, what is going on? http://www.bpaste.net/show/FRkqBCykJui5W3Fsfc0S/
[22:29] <wachpwnski> s0nee:  yes
[22:29] <wachpwnski> technically nemo, but maybe ask in bash
[22:30] <pvde> hi, i have a webserver running on ubuntu 12.04 with nginx, and im following a tutorial. In the tutorial i have to make modifications to iptables, but i never used it before and im not sure if i have them.
[22:31] <elisa87> how can I include two files in a makefile using include ?
[22:32] <s0nee> wachpwnski: i don't think you can type smb://something in a shell because the part "//" is not permitted in a command/file name anyway
[22:33] <wachpwnski> there has to be a regex or something when you type smb://*anything* it runs nemo smb://*anything*
[22:37] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot everything is fixed now
[22:37] <Anoniman86> Hi all. I have big fps drops on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and 12.10 64bit with Ati Radeon HD 5670 eith the latest fglrx drivers. How to fix this?
[22:38] <m1dlgALT> my pc is in a worse condition than i thought. i need to check the hdd for errors but dont know how.
[22:38] <verysoftoiletppr> just had to copy /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6:amd64.list from another system and reinstall libc6
[22:38] <verysoftoiletppr> iceroot next time someone has a similar problem...
[22:38] <Kion> m1dlgALT: what happened?
[22:41] <m1dlgALT> ive been freezing up and it will reboot no warning, since i first installed the drivers for my video card. and teh last coupe of times it tries to check the drve but it just reboots then gets to the desktop. as it does i get loads of errors refering to corrupt files and that it's unable to access/find /tmp
[22:41] <Anoniman86> When i restart system, and enter in Steam game, game works fine, but when I exit the game and enter again in game, i have big fps drops
[22:41] <Anoniman86> :(
[22:41] <elisa87> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5588985/ I have these two files but I receive the following error: make    -->  /home/jalal/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common/inc/cutil.h:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[22:41] <Anoniman86> How to fix this?
[22:42] <m1dlgALT> last time i tried ubuntu it was gnome and it just worked, nothing was a problem. this time i have't enjoyed it.
[22:44] <Kion> m1dlgALT: I don't understand... Did the Nvidia drivers got installed?
[22:44] <Kion> m1dlgALT: Are you using a laptop?
[22:44] <m1dlgALT> PC
[22:45] <__dan__> hi all, hope you're having a good evening or whatever it is for you
[22:45] <ryebread761> A PC could mean a laptop
[22:45] <__dan__> i have a question regarding hdparm
[22:45] <__dan__> with regard to the --write-sector flag - is there any way of telling hdparm to do that for every sector on the drive?
[22:46] <Taev> how do i tell grub to do no apci at boot?
[22:46] <m1dlgALT> I installed the nvidia drivers yesterday, I started stam and it tells me he version i installed was not high enough and steam closes. so I wanted to upgrade them, but I have mor serious issues of corrupt files on the drive
[22:46] <__dan__> Taev: add noacpi boot flag i think
[22:46] <m1dlgALT> OK PC = desktop
[22:46] <pzn> I got an old computer with Pentium-M 1.2Ghz and 768Mram, which ubuntu is "suitable" for this obsolete hardware?
[22:46] <__dan__> there are a few others too like nolapic etc
[22:47] <WRStone> Got a question:  Ubuntu 12.10, updated about five minutes ago.  The longer I leave my Ubuntu boxes running, the more IPv6 addresses they accumulate.  Any notion why this might be?  And yes, my ISP is IPv6, and I'm getting the addresses from them, apparently through my Belkin firewall/router/AP.
[22:47] <ryebread761> In your terms it might, but in most people's it does not
[22:47] <__dan__> pzn: i would try xubuntu
[22:47] <__dan__> pzn: kubuntu also has low-fat-settings if you're a kde fan but lack of memory would be troublesome i think
[22:48] <__dan__> pzn: i would try xubuntu or lubuntu
[22:53] <__dan__> anyone help with my hdparm question?
[22:53] <__dan__> i really want to set this drive on fire
[22:53] <__dan__> its gonna be funny
[22:53] <pzn> __dan__, thanks, I'll try xubuntu
[22:53] <__dan__> good luck :)
[22:54] <pzn> __dan__, take a look in what I got :-) an old panasonic cf-29 toughbook :-)
[22:54] <__dan__> haha i've seen a few of those
[22:55] <__dan__> be careful you don't hurt yourself picking it up ;)
[22:55] <Judgen> Hmm my install CD for 12.4 says the CD was built 2010. Can this be correct?
[22:56] <__dan__> no, Judgen
[22:56] <Judgen> This is an installation system for Ubuntu 12.04. It was built on 20101020ubuntu136.
[22:56] <Judgen> Is the first line even
[22:56] <__dan__> but if you're doing a fresh install it might be worth downloading the 12.04.2 iso as you will get a newer kernel
[22:57] <Judgen> I do not have another empty CD and all those new isos seems to have EFI stuff on them, and wont boot after installation.
[22:57] <Judgen> only the efi-free isos boot after the install for me
[22:58] <__dan__> how odd, i have never had that problem
[22:59] <Judgen> It writes ubuntu in the device boot option permanently though.. i have no idea how to get rid of it from there.
[22:59] <Judgen> I wish EFI was never invented
[23:00] <ryebread761> I do because then my Macbook would not work :(
[23:00] <Kion> ryebread761:  that is why macs suck, I will never ever buy anything mac again
[23:01] <ryebread761> Eh, neither will I likely, but it's what I have now and besides it not working with Linux well, I like it :)
[23:02] <Ice_Strike> How to boot to new kernal when restarting ubuntu?
[23:03] <maxibyte> hey guys, im n a bit of a pickle, i was trying to uinstall ubuntu on my main desktop so being the genius i am i just re-formatted, but apparently grub is still here, attempting to login to my windows disk results in grub telling me that it is an unkown filesystem, and opening the grub rescue promp
[23:04] <jrib> maxibyte: ask ##windows how to restore your mbr
[23:04] <maxibyte> i tried using a bootable usb to format the rest, however gparted says the partition is still in use and has a key icon next to it
[23:04] <jrib> maxibyte: you don't want ubuntu anymore right?
[23:04] <maxibyte> jrib: i know how to restore my MBR but that requires me to boot into my install cd, which is currently impossible due to grub
[23:05] <maxibyte> not right now, perhaps i will dual boot later, but ive been wrestling with my computer all day trying to fix it
[23:05] <penth> For the second time in a week, all my menus are appearing behind windows (global, right-click, chrome bookmarks et al.). Has anyone else seen this in 12.04? I didn't find a bug listing yet
[23:05] <jrib> maxibyte: that shouldn't be the case.  Your computer should boot from the cd before trying grub.  You need to configure your bios to do so
[23:05] <maxibyte> i tell it to boot from the cd.
[23:05] <maxibyte> and then it tells me "unknown filesystem"
[23:05] <jrib> maxibyte: did it boot from the cd?
[23:05] <maxibyte> maybe its my boot order
[23:05] <jrib> maxibyte: yes, check that
[23:05] <maxibyte> i dont know jrib, because it says unknown filesystem
[23:05] <penth> That sounds more like a bad cd
[23:05] <maxibyte> brb
[23:05] <maxibyte> nope
[23:06] <maxibyte> the cd worked fine
[23:06] <FloodBot1> maxibyte: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:06] <jrib> maxibyte: what cd by the way?
[23:06] <maxibyte> until i formatted my main partition
[23:06] <maxibyte> windows 7
[23:06] <maxibyte> its just an install disk
[23:06] <penth> ...
[23:06] <maxibyte> anyays, brb
[23:08] <zimzum77> so here is one, ubuntu can get irus's right??
[23:08] <zimzum77> virus
[23:08] <AbhiK> i suppose, Wrong!
[23:08] <__dan__> generally you dont have to worry about viruses
[23:09] <zimzum77> so what about  jave, flash, ect?
[23:09] <zimzum77> no need to worry
[23:09] <n-iCe> if I install ubuntu-server, how can I install gnome2?
[23:09] <Nach0z> zimzum77: ubuntu's much more resilient to attacks than windows, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be dumbarse with it. just be careful with what you do
[23:10] <__dan__> haha words to live by
[23:10] <Kion> ryebread761: I will install linux on my Macbook via Virtualbox
[23:10] <zimzum77> Oh i am, i just got a funky lag happening, tring to figure it out
[23:10] <__dan__> there are tools like rkhunter
[23:11] <__dan__> check for rootkits
[23:11] <zimzum77> now the 1,000,000$  Ques.  how to find rootkit?
[23:12] <__dan__> [23:10] <__dan__> there are tools like rkhunter
[23:12] <__dan__> :)
[23:12] <zimzum77> sudo apt-get install rkhunter??
[23:13] <__dan__> should be, yeah
[23:13] <zimzum77> thx
[23:13] <__dan__> been a while since i used it myself
[23:13] <__dan__> it's a command line tool but i think you just run it
[23:14] <zimzum77> ok, ima learning so , i need to figure out to read it all lol
[23:14] <__dan__> sure :)
[23:14] <xii> test
[23:15] <Zer000> I installed ubuntu with UK English keyboard by accident, I changed it from preferences and its fine in Gnome, but not in command line mode (| key is ~)
[23:15] <Zer000> how can I change this?
[23:16] <Zer000> (i need US english)
[23:16] <__dan__> if you're just experiencing slowdown / teh lagg etc, first place i would look is system monitor / top command
[23:17] <Taev> im on the ubuntu install, at the select and install software menu and its been stuck at 97% "cleaning up" for awhile, is there a way i can check to see if the install is hung?
[23:18] <zimzum77> __dan__, usually firefox is top
[23:18] <zimzum77> when this happens
[23:18] <donsd> After fresh install, want to restore crontab from backup. What file should I look for?
[23:18] <__dan__> donsd: /etc/crontab
[23:19] <__dan__> donsd: you may also want to check the cron.* directories
[23:19] <__dan__> Taev: try CTRL-ALT-F1, F2 .. etc
[23:19] <__dan__> Taev: you can switch text consoles, i think it's F3 or F4 that's the install log
[23:19] <Taev> i did that, and its working
[23:19] <Taev> but thanks
[23:20] <__dan__> last few lines of the log not show anything useful?
[23:20] <tirengarfio> hi, i have to change my harddisk (with ubuntu 12.04 installed) to another computer, what should i have to do to get sound, microphone,.. working?
[23:21] <__dan__> tirengarfio: usually ubuntu is much more understanding in such circumstances, you should just be able to switch the hard drive over and boot it up
[23:21] <__dan__> tirengarfio: use common sense though - make a working verifiable backup, dont listen to anything anyone tells you on the internet, etc etc ;)
[23:22] <duncan_bayne> Hi, I'm trying to connect to a VPN using Ubuntu.  I have a VPN config exported from OSX ( https://gist.github.com/duncan-bayne/5095315 ) but can't figure out what settings I need in NetworkManager.
[23:22] <donsd> __dan__ thanks, /etc/crontab is not it. I'm looking for the one that has all my entries.
[23:22] <tirengarfio> __dan__:  so do you think everything will work without installing anything?
[23:22] <__dan__> tirengarfio: i would certainly try it
[23:23] <__dan__> donsd: try looking in /etc/cron.d/
[23:23] <Alives> where does the display system settings get its screen names?  my primary screen shows up as something wrong and i wanted to look into it to make sure its not something of a bigger issue
[23:24] <donsd> __dan__ thanks. I will look in the directories.
[23:25] <tirengarfio> One more: i am thinking about buying this mother board: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=111-IB-E692-KR Im wondering if i will have any problem of compatibility with the latest ubuntu versions..
[23:27] <tirengarfio> what about the ubuntu's compatibility in general with hardware?
[23:27] <OerHeks> !hcl
[23:28] <__dan__> tirengarfio: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_z77_chipset&num=1
[23:28] <Ice_Strike> Hmm why this wont work
[23:28] <Ice_Strike> sudo cp -r /path/root/* /root
[23:28] <Ice_Strike> copy all files/dirs from /path/root/ to /root
[23:30] <OerHeks> Ice_Strike, maybe -R case sensitive
[23:31] <tirengarfio> __dan__ thank you!
[23:31] <voxadam> I'm setting up automatic updates on one of my home servers and I'm having difficulty deciding if I should only enable the security repository or the if I should include updates as well. What is the difference between the two?
[23:32] <__dan__> no problem tirengarfio :)
[23:32] <Ice_Strike> I am getting cp: cannot stats `/path/root/*`: no such file or dir..
[23:32] <Ice_Strike> but it is deffo in /path/root/ exist
[23:33] <Alives> Ice_Strike: permissions?
[23:33] <Alives> Ice_Strike: deffo permissions...
[23:34] <Ice_Strike> but i did sudo
[23:34] <Alives> where is /path/root?
[23:34] <Alives> nfs?
[23:39] <Ice_Strike> Alives No, on same disk
[23:39] <Alives> can you see and access the files?
[23:40] <__dan__> could try a slash after the second /root
[23:40] <__dan__> think u got bigger problems but i always do it that way
[23:40] <__dan__> if i remember correctly
[23:40]  * __dan__ has been spoiled by dolphin
[23:41] <Ice_Strike> cp -R /path/root/ /root
[23:41] <__dan__> no
[23:41] <Ice_Strike> this work though
[23:41] <__dan__> cp -R /path/root/* /root/
[23:41] <Ice_Strike> but not with *
[23:41] <Ice_Strike> yes i tried that
[23:43] <__dan__> you're in as root? or u have sudo in front of that command?
[23:43] <Ice_Strike> sudo
[23:44] <__dan__> i just did that and it worked for me
[23:45] <p0s> i run kubuntu12.10 amd64 on a thinkpad t61p. powertop shows that not all possible tunables are tuned by default. what is the recommened way of making ubuntu tune those automatically at startup?
[23:46] <n0sq> why does my display dim on occassion even during use? i have to wait until it un-dims before i can do anything else - happens on all my pc's - some using 12.04 and some using 12.10 and one using lubuntu
[23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: sudo cp -R /home/danmac/.scummvm/* /root/
[23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: dumps all files and directories from that directory into /root
[23:46] <__dan__> Ice_Strike: on my machine ... ur doing something wrong ;)
[23:47] <Dataoriginal> what is the next newq project?
[23:47] <__dan__> p0s: there is a guide somewhere i saw a while back that will help you with that, have a google
[23:47] <p0s> __dan__: remember any suitable keywords i could use?
[23:47] <__dan__> just having a look for you now
[23:48] <__dan__> "To help you make the changes permanent, PowerTOP displays the exact command it runs to perform this optimization. Add the command to your /etc/rc.local file with your preferred text editor so that it takes effect every time that the computer starts."
[23:49] <__dan__> http://askubuntu.com/questions/112705/how-do-i-make-powertop-changes-permanent
[23:51] <p0s> __dan__: mmh ok nice thank you. however i would prefer to install a package which has the job of doing this. in other words: i can't imagine that there is no standard way of doing this automatically via a daemon/package with startup scripts
[23:51] <__dan__> p0s: when you write one, let me know I will install it too ;)
[23:51] <p0s> __dan__:  :|
[23:52] <zimzum77> so i did, sudo apt-get instll rkhunter, now it says "postfix config"  please select mail server config type, <ok>  but i can't do anything at this point. I hit enter but nothing
[23:52] <__dan__> zimzum77: lol i think you installed postfix
[23:52] <__dan__> zimzum77: maybe the package recommends a mail server
[23:53] <zimzum77> sudo apt get purge  rkhunter
[23:53] <__dan__> hahah
[23:53] <MoPac> I would like to mount some encfs folders with a script and THEN be able to manage them with Cryptkeeper during a session. Could someone help me (a) give commands to Cryptkeeper, rather than encfs, with a script; or (b) issue mount commands with encfs in a way that Cryptkeeper will recognize?
[23:53] <zimzum77> actually, what kind of mail??
[23:54] <__dan__> zimzum77: rkhunter can be configured to send emails when the checks are scheduled
[23:55] <__dan__> zimzum77: i just looked at the package and if you install with recommends it will probably install default mail transport agent which in your case seems to be postfix
[23:55] <MoPac> (in case above was not clear): At the moment, if I encfs mount a folder in terminal, even if the source and mountpoint are in Cryptkeeper's directory, Cryptkeeper does not seem to know that it's mounted (no check mark appears, for example)
[23:55] <__dan__> MoPac: not familiar with cryptkeeper sorry
[23:56] <zimzum77> ok, now question is, when i ran the line , is that bit of info put in to my pc, or does it just stop and retain itself
[23:56] <__dan__> zimzum77: dont understand your last line sorry
[23:57] <zimzum77> i'm saying,did it delete the info that download or do i have bits of the program sitting somewhare
[23:57] <zimzum77> womewhere
[23:57] <zimzum77> haha can't type
[23:57] <zimzum77> : )
[23:57] <__dan__> you could always try apt-cache policy rkhunter
[23:58] <zimzum77> and that;ll do??
[23:58] <__dan__> if it comes back with "Installed: (none)" then it isnt installed
[23:58] <__dan__> i would also check to see if postfix is installed in the same way
[23:58] <zimzum77> cool i try that
[23:58] <__dan__> and in future please look at the list of packages you are about to install :)
[23:59] <zimzum77> right on thx for tip
[23:59] <__dan__> consider using aptitude - that makes things a little easier to understand
[23:59] <__dan__> sure, anytime :)
