[18:45] <kyle__> I love google translate
[18:46] <karthick87> All the firefox icons are showing "Firefox Web Browser" in Desktop but in terminal if i view it is showing the correct name.
[18:46] <gry> ActionParsnip: I see, thanks! :-) I was using f2 in a diagrams program, I didn't even think of it being a common shortcut for editing text.
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> gry: works in windows too :)
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: the .desktop files will show the display name, not the file name
[18:50]  * kyle__ grumbles at safari for hanging when the NFS server HOME is on is rebooted.
[18:50] <zaqxsw34> How can I change the DNS servers of a router
[18:51] <karthick87> ActionParsnip: Display names and .desktop files are same right?
[18:51] <alberto-alt> Hi there, can i ask for help for xubuntu here?
[18:51] <zaqxsw34> How can I change the DNS servers of a router?
[18:51] <zaqxsw34> How can I change the DNS servers of a router?
[18:51] <zaqxsw34> How can I change the DNS servers of a router?
[18:51] <FloodBot1> zaqxsw34: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: .desktop files have a display name line in them. Depends how you made the file on the desktop
[18:51] <karthick87> ActionParsnip: Display names and file names are same right?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> zaqxsw34: that is offtopic here, spamming makes people ignore you
[18:52] <kyle__> zaqxsw34: In most home routers there is a checkbox to use the DNS address given by DHCP, or to supply your own.  Click it, and then enter the IP of the DNS server you want.  I can't help more without knowning what router you are using.
[18:52]  * kyle__ sighs
[18:52] <kyle__> And I started writing a response before he flooded.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> karthick87: if you read the  files in /usr/share/applications, you will see what I mean
[18:52] <zaqxsw34> I'm using ZyXel P660HW-D1
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> zaqxsw34: configuring routers is offtopic here
[18:53] <gry> Try ##networking.
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> zaqxsw34: this is ubuntu support
[18:54] <R3dneckSec> BluesKaj: I installed knetworkmanager. It won't show any wireless networks but wicd still does (rebooted even)
[18:55] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec, which OS are you running ?
[18:55] <R3dneckSec> Blueskaj: Backtrack 5
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[18:55] <R3dneckSec> Blueskaj: 10.04 derivitive I think
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> R3dneckSec: not supported here, please ask in #backtrack-linux
[18:56] <alberto-alt> I installed anthy for japanese inpuut but it doesn't show up in the configurable IMEs for iBus. Google doesn't know either. Any suggestions?
[18:56] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec, sorry ..I know nothing about backtrack ...it's a derivative , but Idon't know what's different and what isn't
[18:56] <R3dneckSec> Understood. This forum is a little more noob friendly than the main one
[18:57] <trism> alberto-alt: did you restart ibus?
[18:57] <R3dneckSec> Blueska: Hey - no problem. I appreciate all your help anyway
[18:57] <R3dneckSec> Bluekaj:
[18:57] <alberto-alt> I did
[18:57] <alberto-alt> Twice
[18:57] <alberto-alt> The only IME shown is chinese.
[18:57] <alberto-alt> And changing the input daemon to SCIM didn't help either, it doesn't have any entries.
[18:57] <mathieu> Is someone use sqlite3 with php ?
[18:58] <kyle__> alberto-alt: I don't know if it's true with japanese input, but I know for chineese input to work properly we had to start with a chineese install of ubuntu.
[18:59] <kyle__> I was building (with lots of help from our chineese students) native-language ubuntu images for our departmental cloud a few months ago.
[18:59] <alberto-alt> I had it working on ubuntu 10.04 LTS before
[19:00] <Ufo13> wow after updating to the latest version of ubuntu the guy is SO SLOW!
[19:00] <Ufo13> the mouse gets stuck very often
[19:00] <Ufo13> and the computer stalls for like 5 minutes
[19:00] <Ufo13> what the hell?
[19:00] <alberto-alt> Ufo13: Which graphics card? Nvidia?
[19:00] <LoboX> surpriseee
[19:01] <alberto-alt> It's the first culprit in those cases
[19:01] <profiler1982> what kernel is the best solution for eee pc? generic or pae or.....
[19:01] <trism> alberto-alt: did you just install anthy, or also ibus-anthy?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> profiler1982: either will work, the PAE can just address more than 3.2Gb in 32bit
[19:02] <Ufo13> alberto-alt: nvidia yes
[19:02] <Ufo13> 8800
[19:02] <Ufo13> wow I can't do anything :(
[19:02] <alberto-alt> Uh, ibus isn't installed, that may be it trism!
[19:02] <alberto-alt> ibus-anthy, i mean
[19:02] <Ufo13> not sure what are you talking about :D
[19:03] <profiler1982> am have generic but power managment on 11.10 is problem.   apu c-60
[19:03] <alberto-alt> ufo13: You may want to update your graphic driver
[19:03] <ugur> ActionParsnip: I can't close Pidgin to tray. I've set Pidgin as required. Do you know anything about this ?  (I'm using 12.04 and Unity)
[19:03] <Ufo13> well I would try doing it IF the computer actually was responsibe
[19:03] <Ufo13> is it possible to do it outside the GUI?
[19:03] <Ufo13> it's just stuck
[19:04] <e0s> hello....i am getting an error message when trying to download lamp on ubuntu 10.04 LTS

[19:04] <ugur> ActionParsnip: When i click the close button Pidgin closes completely. I want it work at background
[19:05] <alberto-alt> ufo13: There is a parameter that you pass to the kernel so that the nouveau driver isn't loaded
[19:05] <alberto-alt> I'm searching for it right now, is something about nomodeset
[19:06] <Ufo13> maybe I could just boot in safe mode?
[19:07] <alberto-alt> trism: Bingo, i was missing that package. Anthy up and running. Peace!
[19:07] <Ufo13> kernel is 3.2.0-25-generic-recovery-mode
[19:07] <alberto-alt> You could
[19:08] <ugur> alberto-alt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 this may help about nomodeset)
[19:08] <alberto-alt> I recommend getting the official driver number 295.49 if you can, i have it up and running
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> ugur: in settings, make sure that the app shows a tray icon
[19:08] <signpost> is there not a static version of dbus in apt?
[19:08] <signpost> I need libdbus-1.a
[19:10] <trism> signpost: libdbus-1-dev , /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.a (will depend on the arch of course)
[19:10] <ugur> ActionParsnip: there is a option "Show System Tray Icon". I've set it Always but not working
[19:11] <alberto-alt> ufo13: try this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-pangolin-nvidia.html
[19:11] <alkisg> Hi, is ttf-indic-fonts-core installed by default in Ubuntu 12.04? I don't think it was in previous versions, and apt-rdepends doesn't say why it is installed in my pc...
[19:12] <Pici> alkisg: yes, its part of the ubuntu-desktop task
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> ugur: I can't see any other option to show why. You could rename ~/.purple   then reset up the app
[19:14] <alkisg> Thank you Pici
[19:15] <designbybeck> so UNetbootin isn't very pretty, like refitt or BURG for GRUB.... why aren't there better loaders for Linux?
[19:15] <designbybeck> or why don't some of the default ones look better?
[19:16] <ugur> ActionParsnip: Thanks I will try that
[19:16] <guntbert> designbybeck: such "why" questions are best asked and discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic , not here, this channel is for support
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: who cares, the bit you are talking about is on the screen for meagre seconds
[19:16] <cristian_c> Hi
[19:17] <cristian_c> How can  I activate gestures with ginn?
[19:17] <designbybeck> sorry guntbert...and you are right ActionParsnip
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: its job is to boot the USB, why does it need any sort of look. You will get the Plymouth splash before long and it will be fine
[19:18] <designbybeck> it was more so for liveUSBs that I make for faculty
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: I've only used gestures with easystroke
[19:18] <morphis> olli: ping
[19:18] <designbybeck> not that big of a deal overall
[19:18] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, I want to activate gestures in ubuntu

[19:20] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: does file have the right ACL?
[19:21] <wrapids> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure :/
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: does youruser have read access to the file?
[19:21] <wrapids> Yes
[19:22] <wrapids> I have full rights and ownership of $file
[19:22] <wrapids> and sftp user@site works just fine.
[19:22] <Ryan203> hey all
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063082/
[19:23] <wrapids> Hrm...
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: could try:   sftp -v -b file user@server
[19:24] <trism> wrapids: you need to use ssh keys to use -b with sftp
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: or try:   sftp -o "batchmode no" -b file user@server
[19:25] <wrapids> trism, I've gone though all of that already. It seems to have been giving me problems.
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: source: http://fixunix.com/ssh/74219-i-can-sftp-password-but-not-sftp-b-not-prompted-password.html
[19:26] <wrapids> ActionParsnip: Worked, thanks a bunch.
[19:27] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, How can I activate the main gestures in ubuntu?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: Which was it?
[19:27] <wrapids> Last one worked
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: sweet, fyi I don't even use that you know. All I did was search
[19:27] <wrapids> Or well, sftp -o "batchmode no"... worked
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> wrapids: searching is good
[19:28] <trism> ActionParsnip: nice workaround though
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> trism: no idea what it does tbh, I just find links
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> trism: seems I use a different internet than everyone else....
[19:31] <ircnode0> in man soundconvert: "Set the output MIME type for batch mode.  The default is audio/x-vorbis.". How I know other types?

[19:43] <Ufo13> it's jsut stuck

[19:43] <Ufo13> ActionParsnip: dash?

[19:44] <designbybeck> anyone use Synergy?
[19:44] <tyler_d> yes
[19:44] <tyler_d> designbybeck: I have, not actively but am familiar
[19:45] <Psi-Jack> designbybeck: Better to ask the question you really need help with, than to ask "anyone" questions that do not have any substance.
[19:45] <designbybeck> tyler_d: did your ubuntu screen go blank when you moved your mouse out and then it comes back on after a sec
[19:45] <AssociateX> OK, so I spent about 5 hours looking up why flash is not working on facebook. Still doesn't work, anyone know of a solution?
[19:45] <tyler_d> designbybeck: no it did not, I did note a very very short flicker, but certainly not to the extent you describe
[19:46] <designbybeck> yes it is more than just a flicker
[19:46] <tyler_d> designbybeck: have you started the server/client in the forground to see of possible error output?
[19:46] <designbybeck> what do you mean foreground?
[19:47] <designbybeck> i used their wizards to start them respectively tyler_d
[19:47] <tyler_d> designbybeck: I would suggest starting them from the cli and monitoring output
[19:48] <designbybeck> ok thank you tyler_d
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[19:48] <tyler_d> designbybeck: strange, sorry for dropping off there
[19:48] <siravecavec> Hello, I just installed ubuntu using an USB device and installed it into an Acer Aspire One ZG5 model. Now there is a problem that after I reboot the laptop it turns out that there is no GRUB loading, just  cursor blinking. As soon as I select the USB device to boot from, the notebook boots.
[19:48] <designbybeck> no prob tyler_d
[19:48] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, will do.
[19:49] <designbybeck> thank you for your help, it is my first time trying this so I don't know how it is suppose to handle tyler_d
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: thanks
[19:49] <tyler_d> designbybeck: it works quite well, I used it for years in the past
[19:50] <e0s> ActionParsnip: thats not working
[19:51] <e0s> on command autoremove i get madh@vpsmadh:~$ LANG=C;sudo apt-get --purge autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

[19:51] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063129/
[19:51] <tyler_d> designbybeck: it would be something like `synergys -d ERROR -c /path/to/config` from a command line
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> e0s: try switching package source
[19:51] <designbybeck> thanks
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[19:55] <heller_barde> is there a possibility to temporarily disable automounting in ubuntu? (I run 12.04 with unity)
[19:56] <designbybeck> tyler_d: I found the bug http://synergy-foss.org/spit/issues/details/2741/
[19:57] <tyler_d> designbybeck: well that's always good news and bad news, good for you though :)
[19:57] <designbybeck> it seems it has to do with the energy start features
[19:59] <d-egg> Two hard crashes while watching flash today.  One in firefox and one in chrome.  Anybody else?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> d-egg: is ram healthy?
[20:00] <d-egg> Hm, I just bought a new one but, the first crash? was it before that. I don't know,.
[20:00] <d-egg> yes it was before that

[20:01] <BlackAngelPR> hey guys i try to delete some files after testing photorec   to recover files and pictures from another had drive on my laptop but after trying to delete them it says i have nor permission because its a directory so i try  sudo rm -R -F  File name but did not work any ideas (-_^) ?
[20:02] <siravecavec> is there a way to fix the blinking cursor and be able to boot ubuntu without the usb stick
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> d-egg: worth a check
[20:02] <d-egg> ActionParsnip: ok
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: what video chip do you use?
[20:04] <trism> alchemyxthunder: can you give a specific example?
[20:04] <alchemyxthunder> trism: sudo apt-get install lamp-server
[20:04] <BlackAngelPR> Any way to remove a directory that appears you are not the owner?  y try to assign permission and did not work
[20:05] <BlackAngelPR> lamp-server is not on the repositories you should download it from the website then
[20:05] <trism> alchemyxthunder: lamp-server is a task, not a package, if you want to install it, use tasksel, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[20:06] <alchemyxthunder> trism: taskel also gave the same error, i believe.
[20:06] <BlackAngelPR> msg alchemyxthunder good luck
[20:06] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip:  this is as well not detected from ubuntu. but it should be via integrated video
[20:06] <guntbert> BlackAngelPR: no, it consists of several packages, you use tasksel to install them
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> BlackAngelPR: you can use:  sudo rm -r /path/to/folder    be sure you need nothing in the subdirs before you run it
[20:07] <alchemyxthunder> trism: yeah, just tried taskel again. same Unable to locate package taskel eror.
[20:07] <alchemyxthunder> error*
[20:07] <guntbert> !tasksel | alchemyxthunder be warned
[20:08] <BlackAngelPR> msg ActionParsnip i will try it was just testing a recovery thing :p and creats a lt of directories recovery in my desktop
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> alchemyxthunder: run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:08] <guntbert> alchemyxthunder: it is tasksel  not taskel
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> BlackAngelPR: thats why you make a subdir to hold it all
[20:09] <oconnore> somehow I killed my application list in the ubuntu unity menu, how do I get it back?
[20:09] <BlackAngelPR> msg ActionParsnip yeah it works thanks :)  do you know any other recovery software better than that one i use ?    like to recover photos if deleted from memory etc
[20:09] <BlackAngelPR> reboot?
[20:09] <karthick87> How to set wallpaper to a particular user from root account?
[20:09] <oconnore> BlackAngelPR: no I mean I really killed it

[20:09] <DJones> that might have somebody
[20:09] <DJones> sorry, wrong window

[20:11] <cclplatinum> anyone knows where to find full documentation about linux/ubuntu ??
[20:11] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: well this is the thing that when ever it boots, it does not work only if i boot first from USB, and is not installed on USB while on SSD
[20:11] <sunshinehappy> cclplatinum, you will have to be specific about what you want documentation for
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: hold shift at boot, add the option
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> BlackAngelPR: or use foremost
[20:12] <cclplatinum> for starting
[20:12] <cclplatinum> just novice
[20:12] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: there is no boot...
[20:12] <guntbert> !manual | cclplatinum
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: even if you hold shift?
[20:12] <GiBa> hello
[20:12] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: first take this scenario, i have my pc off, i turn it on, there is nothing. just a blinking cursor
[20:12] <cclplatinum> thanks
[20:13] <GiBa> does anyone knows how to change the umask of the apache2 process?
[20:13] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: if i reboot, and select boot from usb, it ignites my HDD
[20:13] <GiBa> i want that uploaded files have group write permissions
[20:13] <GiBa> setting in the init script nor the envvars dosnt work
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: yes, the grub loads the OS, if you hold SHIFT at boot you will see text that ANY system can display and you can add the boot option
[20:14] <DonQuijada> when I press Alt key Unity opens a prompt in the upper left corner saying "Type your command". I'd like to remove this binding but I can't find any shortcut for Alt in Keyboard setttings. How can I do it?
[20:14] <siravecavec> ok, i will reboot and try
[20:14] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, same thing, nothing flash works on facebook, youtube works though. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html does not. This is with chromium and firefox. I see other people are having this problem but no solution yet.
[20:14] <guntbert> !hud | DonQuijada
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: could uninstall the flash packages then manually add the flash plugin manually
[20:16] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, tried that. I even went back one version which did not help either.
[20:17] <DonQuijada> guntbert: thanks
[20:18] <AssociateX> kkobold, are you Kelly?
[20:18] <guntbert> DonQuijada: you're welcome :-)
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: tried making a new user and logging in as that?
[20:19] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, that doesn't work either.
[20:19] <AssociateX> already tried that
[20:20] <siravecavec> well, is no difference
[20:20] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: is same, if i dont boot from USB it wont move the HDD
[20:21] <siravecavec> this is not out of the box installation i was expecting.
[20:21] <bbbbbbbb> I have a problem using Adobe Reader for Ubuntu, is there a room that can help me on here?
[20:21] <siravecavec> :)
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: boot to live cd and install grub to the internal drive again, may help

[20:23] <cclplatinum> how i can learn linux/ubuntu the fastest and best way ?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: you can manually install grub in the live USB
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> cclplatinum: use the OS
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> cclplatinum: there is no best way
[20:24] <cclplatinum> the desktop it is easy
[20:24] <cclplatinum> i mean the code part
[20:24] <cclplatinum> find documentation and just learn it ?
[20:24] <bbbbbbbb> Is here a IRC room with people who know about Acrobat or Reader?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> cclplatinum: then use the terminal more, or code in whatever language you want to code in

[20:27] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: the packages always work for me, or a symlink of the libflashplugin.so to my browser plugin folder
[20:27] <cclplatinum> thanks
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: you could try:  mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: then symlink the plugin file there
[20:27] <cclplatinum> thanks joel135
[20:28] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, tried that too and did the sym link. it didn't work.
[20:29] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, strange thing is something is playing the youtube videos that does not work on the adobe website. I'll figure it out, thank you again.
[20:31] <laz3rwo1f> i need help with opening ports on my firewall for freenet and i2p.thanks
[20:31] <joel135> AssociateX: maybe you're using html5 on youtube
[20:31] <siravecavec> ActionParsnip: well, first of all when i try to boot with live iso usb, it takes me to a GRUB menu but the one that works for this PC, so things are screwed in fact, because as I see i need to rewrite the ISO to usb with unetbootin, or_
[20:31] <laz3rwo1f> i new to ubuntu and linux in general
[20:31] <ggherdov> Hi all. I am trying to install the search UI solritas on my solr 1.4.1 instance, which I installed as an ubuntu package on ubuntu 11.04 (natty). This is being harder than expected. The recipe at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/VelocityResponseWriter says to copy a bunch of .jar from contrib/velocity/src/main/solr/lib to /lib . Well, I don't have any of those .jar, not in the solr-common package (list here: http://bpaste.net/show/
[20:31] <ggherdov> WG6bJiFKuJhA4voRNTrI/ ) nor in the 'velocity' module, that I installed separatedly (list here http://bpaste.net/show/MAEICAOm8NpVbocS18Rj/ ).
[20:32] <tootac> Hi guys, i have been upgrading from ubuntu 11.10 to ubuntu 12.04 my netbook. The problem is that now I have bootloop with booting animation with "ubuntu 11.10" written on it
[20:32] <cclplatinum> anyone from romania ?
[20:32] <SkippersBoss> AssociateX, your link is to SHOCKWAVE which is not supported under linux
[20:32] <ggherdov> should I submit a bug in the solr-related packages?
[20:32] <bazhang> !ro | cclplatinum
[20:32] <AssociateX> joel135, well, you are probably right because a right click shows that.
[20:33] <AssociateX> joel135, weird, I didn't even know about that and youtube. Thank you.

[20:34] <bbbbbbbb> I have a PDF form I need to send online (it has a button) and I receive the message "NotAllowedError -> NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method."
[20:34] <bazhang> cclplatinum, do you have an ubuntu support question
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> siravecavec: thats all I can recommend dude
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> cclplatinum: location is moot in support
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: if you suspect a bug, then yes :)
[20:37] <siravecavec> thanks ActionParsnip
[20:37] <cclplatinum> bazhang i have a lot of questions
[20:37] <bazhang> cclplatinum, if it's about ubuntu tech support, then ask them here
[20:38] <cclplatinum> let me ask you this ? how much time will it take for a normal person to learn linux...at least at a medium level
[20:38] <cclplatinum> a simple opinion will help
[20:38] <bazhang> cclplatinum, thats not on topic here
[20:39] <bazhang> try #ubuntu-offtopic cclplatinum
[20:39] <coob> hi. how to force python pop up to appear on current workspace? ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2011379
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> coob: not tried to use notify-osd instead maybe?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> coob: could also ask in #python
[20:42] <alket> Hi , can I install ubuntu desktop but change it to server by removing GUI ?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> alket: if you want to boot to terminal only, use the boot option:  text
[20:43] <alket> ActionParsnip: thank you as always, but are there any unesesary pacakages which run at start ?
[20:43] <coob> ActionParsnip: I tried to find some notify osd tutorials/examples in pdf file, but there is not much of it, or I couldn't find any useful.
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> alket: possibly, you'll have sond and so fort running
[20:44] <alket> ActionParsnip: thank you
[20:45] <AssociateX> strange, but about:plugins does not show a flashplugin although it is installed.
[20:45] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, see that ^^^6
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: maybe its needed in a different folder
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: sec
[20:46] <AssociateX> OK, waiting
[20:47] <mp19uy> asd
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: ok run:  sudo updatedb; locate flash | grep so

[20:48] <mp19uy> Hi I'm kind of lost here (first time using IRC), where can I ask a question about a problem I'm having in ubuntu?
[20:49] <morsnowski> right here just ask
[20:50] <mp19uy> Im trying to configure my ati video card, to set the fan speed to a preconfigured value after the computer resumes from suspend
[20:50] <mark__> Test Test  Can you hear me?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> mark__: loud and clear
[20:50] <mark__> :)
[20:50] <mp19uy> Ive created a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d
[20:51] <mark__>  I can't make jack work with my soundblaster card
[20:51] <mp19uy> which one runs the following comand: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 50"
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: is there a command you can run
[20:51] <yafitshy> Hey, could anyone help me install my nvidia drivers?
[20:51] <sebas-89> hello my name is josepo
[20:51] <joel135> yafitshy: what card do you have?
[20:51] <sebas-89> I'm a professional hacker
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:51] <yafitshy> 560gtx
[20:51] <mp19uy> if I run it in console, it works, but when loads from the script, it doesnt
[20:52] <yafitshy> b_release -sc wont work
[20:52] <mark__> goodbye
[20:52] <mp19uy> If i check the log (pm-suspend.log), there is the following error: ati_pplib_cmd: Unable to open display
[20:52] <mp19uy> I googled it and tried everything but I still have that error
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1831541    #6
[20:53] <joel135> yafitshy: for nvidia cards in general, you could install nvidia-current
[20:53] <yafitshy> yafit@yafit-desktop:~$ sudo lsb_release -sc
[20:53] <yafitshy> precise
[20:54] <true_techie> how can i correct this error? Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/lib/tools.jar
[20:54] <yafitshy> i tried nvidia current, also nvidia's driver from thier site
[20:54] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, mine is a little different, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063226/
[20:54] <yafitshy> nothing wroks
[20:54] <mp19uy> (a question, completely different from my problem, why I can read some people and some other don't at the IRC? I see someone answering question but I can read the person who asks)
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: you may need a sleep in the command so that it gives the x server time to reload, I'd put the items in a script then have the script run in the background
[20:55] <mp19uy> I thought is was something about that
[20:55] <coob> [Ubuntu 11.10, Chromium, Firefox] - How could I edit (update) my 'Ubuntu forum biography' (user control panel), while account has less than 50 posts?
[20:55] <domtechno> Hey everyone, looking for help with isc-dhcp-server config am I at the right place.
[20:55] <self> actionparsnip, you were helping me earlyer. im trying to boot my pc from the ssd. works fine on the usb drive (what im on now) but still refuses to boot from ssd... any thoughts

[20:56] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: may help
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> self: all I can advise is www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[20:57] <joel135> yafitshy: then you need to find your graphics card model number. issue "sudo lshw > $HOME/lshw", upload the file somewhere and link to it here
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> self: use the chroot to install upgrades too (if you get web access in liveCD)
[20:57] <self> actionparsnip, ill do that now, thanks
[20:57] <joel135> yafitshy: "the file" being the file lshw in your home directiry
[20:57] <Lounge> hey guys, I'm trying to figure out why my bash aliases aren't working in any of the ttys. has anyone had this problem and happened have solved it?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: if you run:  source ~/.bashrc    do they work?
[20:58] <domtechno> nevermind just found the answer
[20:58] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: while in a tty?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: sure, why not
[20:58] <yafitshy> joel135: it says                 description: VGA compatible controller
[20:58] <yafitshy>                 product: GF114 [GeForce GTX 560]
[20:58] <yafitshy> thats all you need right?
[20:59] <joel135> yafitshy: yes
[20:59] <yafitshy> joel135: im currently running nvidia's drivers from thier site, no luck though
[20:59] <yafitshy> joel135: also, somewhy it wont recornize the drivers as well in system info from CP
[20:59] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: yes it works in tty when i type that
[21:00] <Lounge> but doesit stick?
[21:00] <yafitshy> as well = at all
[21:00] <joel135> yafitshy: can you boot with the drivers installed?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: do you have a ~/.profile  file?
[21:00] <yafitshy> joel135: im on my machine atm. so i guess i could?
[21:00] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: let me check
[21:00] <yafitshy> joel135: or i didnt ge tthe question?
[21:00] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: nope, must have been wiped
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: I'll pastebim you mine
[21:01] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: okay thanks :-)
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063238/
[21:02] <mp19uy> actionparsnip, i tried a sleep before the command but what doesn't work, I mean, I put sleep 10 and there was the screen for 10 seconds in black, and the It returned to my session
[21:02] <mp19uy> heres my script http://tinypaste.com/7f1f53fd
[21:03] <joel135> yafitshy: you got it :) start a new terminal, issue "cd /etc/X11", "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old", reboot computer (it may be unable to boot into graphics mode but that's OK), issue "sudo X -configure" and move the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: yes, thats why you need a script for both commands, so you can background the script and the wake up will happen but the sleep will delay the command you needto run
[21:03] <joel135> yafitshy: then reboot
[21:03] <yafitshy> joel135: cant i just kill X and do that?
[21:03] <Lounge> ActionParsnip: cool just copied and pasted it
[21:04] <joel135> yafitshy: i guess so
[21:04] <yafitshy> joel135: thanks let me try.
[21:04] <mp19uy> So, can you explain me how to edit that actual script I have? or do I have to create another one?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: http://pastie.org/4162121    http://pastie.org/4162123
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: something like that
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: obviously the shorter paste is the fixati script
[21:05] <shadowmilk11> hello?
[21:05] <mp19uy> Yes, i got that :D
[21:05] <designbybeck> Firefox seems to run slow after awhile, with a number of windows open
[21:05] <mp19uy> Let me try
[21:05] <designbybeck> But Chromium runs much smoother
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: see how the script is backgrounded, this is so the flow doesn't wait 10 seconds for nothing
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: the script is backgrounded, the resume occurs as normal and there is a 10 second wait before the command you found works
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: thats why I said you need a script for it
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> (21:54:27) ActionParsnip: mp19uy: you may need a sleep in the command so that it gives the x server time to reload, I'd put the items in a script then have the script run in the background
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: I did say...
[21:07] <mp19uy> ok, im on it
[21:07] <ceti331> does any linux window manager provide Mac style 'fullscreen' behaviour i.e: when you click "maximize", it places the window on a new desktop, when you "unmaximize", it closes that desktop and restores to original desk
[21:08] <mp19uy> What is the purpose of the & at the end of the command?
[21:08] <ceti331> <actually when i say maximize i mean fullscreen>
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: that backgrounds the command and lets the next commands run
[21:08] <designbybeck> ceti331:  like pressing F11?
[21:08] <designbybeck> most applications support that
[21:08] <designbybeck> ...err...a good deal do
[21:08] <ceti331> yes but after pressing F11, if you scroll to other desktops you'd be able to see the other windows
[21:09] <ceti331> when you press F11 - it maximizes it on the *Current* desktop, not into a *new* desktop
[21:09] <designbybeck> so like Expo for compiz ceti331
[21:09] <designbybeck> ah
[21:09] <designbybeck> i'm not sure on that one
[21:10] <ceti331> example lets say you have 1 screen with 3 windows A B C, then you press 'fullscreen' on C ... you now have 2 desktops; 1=A,B; 2=C(fullscreen)
[21:10] <ceti331> hmm. maybe Gnome Shell does is - Gnome Shell is quite similar to MissionControl
[21:10] <Lounge> ceti331: ubuntu 12.04 seems to behave closer to mac than how it did back in 10.10
[21:11] <Lounge> unity that is
[21:11] <ceti331> Ubuntu 12.04 has Expo/Scale which i love - its more like Mac OSX Snow Lepoard,
[21:11] <Lounge> seems to be more like mac than gnome 3
[21:11] <ceti331> Gnome 3 reminds me of MissionControl;   Unity reminds me of Expose+Spaces
[21:12] <ceti331> the 2 tweaks the Mac had over Linux:- [1] Expose+Spaces could be triggered independantly or combined  [2] the maximize behaviour i mention
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: the default shell for Gnome is Gnome-shell, Canonical made Unity, you can use Gnome-panel is you want
[21:12] <ceti331> overall I like unity a lot (dont understand the hate it gets)
[21:13] <designbybeck> I agree ceti331
[21:14] <Pecker> WEll. I give uinty hate for 2 things: lack of total customization, and kills games
[21:14] <Lounge> one thing that kinda annoys me is the way firefox is setup now in 12.04,not sure if this is an issue with ffox but i can't right-click on bookmarks and edit them, nor is there a menu allowhing me to choose where to bookmark pages anymore
[21:14] <ceti331> i love the way it handles title+menu bar
[21:14] <Pecker> yeah that part is nice
[21:14] <Pecker> but you cant customizze any of it
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: don't use it then, you don't have to use Unity...
[21:15] <Lounge> that is to say when i wanna bookmark a page, it just gets bookmarked, no options
[21:15] <Pecker> then for games i gets lower FPS than 10.04 on same machine
[21:15] <ceti331> I always setup my Mac in the same layout... dock on the left
[21:15] <Pecker> ActionParsnip: what you think I actually use 12.04? using 10.04 right now
[21:15] <morsnowski> 10.04 was great
[21:15] <designbybeck> ceti331:  here is a good write up about Jack who came full circle with Unity http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/ubuntu-unity-making-the-desktop-seriously-efficient-again/3701?tag=content;siu-container
[21:16] <bazhang> lets get back on topic please
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: you can use gnome-panel in Precise, you can also install any of the many desktop / window managers and not get Unity
[21:16] <ceti331> yes, when you have "Expo" / "Scale", you just dont need the titlebar panel
[21:16] <Pecker> yeah..thats the thing I like about the shells in gnmoe3
[21:16] <Pecker> can get rid of crap shells
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: Kubuntu 12.04 doesn't have Unity, nor does Xubuntu 12.04, nor does Lubuntu 12.04
[21:16] <Pecker> anyways ill be ranting in offtopic chan
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: I use 12.04, no unity here
[21:17] <ceti331> Perfection would be multitouch swipes to trigger expose/spaces like the mac
[21:17] <Pecker> nice
[21:17] <oconnore> What is the default input method in ubuntu 12.04? Is it iBus?
[21:17] <oconnore> scim?
[21:17] <oconnore> xim?
[21:17] <ceti331> but its pretty good with screen corners I find
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: I suggest you use Xubuntu 12.04 when Lucid is EOL next year in April
[21:18] <Pecker> whatever happened to 5 year server support?
[21:18] <Pecker> is everything 3 years now?
[21:19] <Lounge> list #ubuntu
[21:19] <Lounge> where's the ubuntu-offtopic?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: Lucid DESKTOP is EOL in April 2013
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Lounge: #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:20] <Pecker> ah k
[21:20] <mp19uy> well
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases
[21:20] <mp19uy> actionparsnip, I keep having the same problem but now in the atifix script
[21:21] <Pecker> couldnt get myself to use KDE
[21:21] <mp19uy> I used the following command to know if there was any error  aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 50" 2> /tmp/setfanspeed.err.log > /tmp/setfanspeed.log
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> Pecker: if you use Gnome apps a lot, XFCE is built using GTK so will mea you install fewer deps
[21:21] <mp19uy> And in the err there was this: ati_pplib_cmd: Unable to open display `'.
[21:21] <mp19uy> aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.
[21:22] <mp19uy> Same error I was having in my original script
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> mp19uy: what is you make the wait reallllly long, on the desktop you should see it running in:  ps -ef | grep wait
[21:22] <yafitshy> X -configure fails
[21:23] <yafitshy> and still wont use the drivers
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: did you make and xorg.conf file ok?
[21:23] <mp19uy> I need to go now, Ill go back maybe in an hour, if you are still here, Ill keep trying to solve the problem with your help, Im going to write down that last you said
[21:24] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: Yeah i think i did. it was created and i moved it. still no use.
[21:24] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: there was a log file it says it failed would you take a look at it for me?
[21:24] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063274/
[21:25] <yafitshy> im not sure anymore, in the log it says nvidia and everything, still no use of 3d and shit

[21:30] <bazhang> Jamie_, stop that
[21:30] <pipi> bazhang, did that nothing changed. also forgot to mention keyboard doesnt recognize volume controls but all other ones work.
[21:30] <bee> what  happens if you do it a few times, does the bot kick?
[21:30] <Joshun> hi
[21:30] <allan1097> I uso ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 series
[21:31] <yafitshy> Restarted, still nothing
[21:31] <Joshun> do you know if ps2 to usb adapters will work with ubuntu / xorg?
[21:31] <Pecker> they do for me
[21:31] <bazhang> !ot | bee
[21:31] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: i dont think its the xorg file
[21:31] <Pecker> you mean PS/2 right?
[21:31] <Joshun> yeah
[21:31] <Pecker> not PlayStation2
[21:31] <Joshun> yeah sorry ps/2
[21:31] <bee> !ot | bee
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: yep, the driver doesn't load fast enough so you get a black screen, it finally loads by the time you hit the desktop etc
[21:32] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: but why wont drivers that i have downloaded form thier site work?
[21:32] <Joshun> i'd rather reuse some old keyboards than buy new usb ones
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: the nvidia drivers are in the repos dude
[21:32] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: I know i have tried these as well.
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Joshun: should be ok
[21:32] <Joshun> ok thanks
[21:32] <bee> !patience huayra
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: what nvidia chip do you have?
[21:32] <bee> !patience | huayra
[21:33] <allan1097> after the start of session all goes well
[21:33] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip gtx 560? or whats the question?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: yes, the driver is loaded by then
[21:33] <Pecker> why is bee testing here?
[21:33] <hot2trot> I want to give someone access to my home server via ssh, but I want to cap the upload limit, is there an easy way to do this?
[21:33] <bee> no more
[21:33] <bee> sorry
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: try:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current
[21:34] <allan1097> First you start the BIOS, then home screen, black screen after the logon and there everything goes normal
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: like I said earlier..
[21:34] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: tried that as well. but ill give it a try again.
[21:35] <allan1097> yes
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: all you don't see is the boot splash, you can tweak your OS to maybe make it different, but the OS is ok so why bother...
[21:36] <morsnowski> join #linux
[21:36] <morsnowski> hmm
[21:36] <yafitshy> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current
[21:37] <yafitshy> ops
[21:37] <szal> morsnowski: try "/join #linux" ;)
[21:37] <yafitshy> forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/nvidia-settings/ld.so.conf because link group nvidia_settings_conf is broken.
[21:37] <yafitshy> does this mean anything?
[21:37] <yafitshy> update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic
[21:37] <yafitshy> how do i make sure its loading this one?
[21:38] <allan1097> despues de Iniciar la BIOS , tengo que elegir que SO usar ( yo tengo Windows 7 y Ubuntu en mi disco duro)
[21:38] <allan1097> After starting the BIOS, I have to choose which OS to use (I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my hard drive)
[21:38] <allan1097> Sorry, I am translating
[21:38] <pipi> bazhang, any other ideas?
[21:39] <cosmic> hi all, I'm looking at buying a graphics card, now I know theres a lot of choice.. but are  there any obvious ones to avoid
[21:39] <allan1097> After starting the BIOS, I have to choose which OS to use (I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my hard drive)
[21:39] <cosmic> like Nvidea for exmple, im after a mid range one not too expensive
[21:40] <bazhang> !hcl | cosmic
[21:40] <SkippersBoss> allan1097, And you cannot see Grub ?!
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: hold SHIFT at boot, does Grub show.
[21:40] <cosmic> great, i'll start looking ..
[21:41] <allan1097> GRUB if I see and I have to choose the system to start
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> allan1097: yes that's normal in a dual boot situation...
[21:42] <avis> how do i apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on one line without saying yes ?
[21:42] <avis> hello
[21:42] <budmang> HELP: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.17) but 5.3.14-1~dotdeb.0 is to be installed
[21:42] <allan1097> GRUB is when you get a list of operating systems installed before starting?
[21:43] <avis> how do i apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on one line without saying yes ?
[21:44] <allan1097> GRUB is when you get a list of operating systems installed before starting?
[21:44] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: it changed resulotion, still not using the driver though
[21:44] <huayra> ?
[21:44] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: says unknown
[21:44] <Pecker> allan1097: yeah
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> budmang: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[21:44] <IdleOne> avis: apt-get -y blah blah
[21:44] <budmang> ActionParsnip: lucid
[21:44] <Pecker> its called a bootloader
[21:45] <allan1097> then the usual start GRUB
[21:45] <budmang> ActionParsnip: I had php/everything running perfect off a manual compile/install/configure. I install this newrelic php module SHIT and it took everything down.. I freshly configure/install php again no errors. but it just wont work certain modules(php mysql). The site has been down for over an hour now with commericals..
[21:46] <allan1097> the GRUB start normal
[21:46] <bazhang> budmang, no cursing here
[21:46] <budmang> I cant seem to apt-get install a version of php either. bazhang: sorry.
[21:46] <yafitshy> ActionParsnip: is there a way to force loading a module?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> yafitshy: you can add the name in /etc/modules
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> budmang: can you pastebin the output of:  apt-cache policy php5-common
[21:48] <budmang> Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. - this is the main issue to fix.. but php5-mysql is installed etc..
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> budmang: sounds a LOT like you added a Debian file to your OS, there are ZERO packages with dotdeb in the name, but there is this: http://www.debian-database.org/?q=php5&d=squeeze
[21:49] <gelachs>  please, do you see this message, I think I can't send to freenode. please if some one see this message tell m
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> budmang: so you have mixed in Debian debs to Ubuntu which is not advised, not supported and WILL break your OS
[21:49] <bazhang> !test > gelachs
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> budmang: didn't you?
[21:50] <allan1097> after the GRUB screen purple, black screen, login starts the OS.

[21:50] <jpmorgan>  hi 2 days ago i upgraded to 12.04 on eee pc 1015-pem. i have no internal or external sound. when i fussed with alsamixer in terminal all i managed to get was a clicking sound on start up and a steady white noise through the speakers. the comp has a realtek alc269vb audio device. also, keyboard doesnt recognize volume controls but all other ones work.

[21:50] <phong_> hi guys, how to enable sftp server on ubuntu?
[21:50] <phong_> why i do sftp didn't work
[21:50] <yafitshy> How can i check list of modules for spesific hardware
[21:50] <yafitshy> like for my nvidia
[21:50] <yafitshy> seems like there are a few of them
[21:51] <jpmorgan> changing the pcm to 80 didnt solve the problem
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> phong_: install openssh-server on the system you want to connect to
[21:51] <bnjmn> i'm using 12.04 with gnome classic and the workspace switcher is a tiny 2x2 box
[21:51] <phong_> ActionParsnip, i used to be able to d o it
[21:51] <bnjmn> i want it to be a row of 4 desktops like it used to be, how can i do this?
[21:51] <phong_> how to install openssh again?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> budmang: am I wrong?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> phong_: guess.....
[21:51] <Joe_CoT> so, weird problem that I have no idea how to google, so I'm hoping someone can point me at a thread. In 12.04 Unity, sometimes when I click and drag something, the drag hand refuses to switch back to a pointer. I have no method or resolving this without restarting X. Is there something easier?
[21:51] <morsnowski> phong_, what isn't workin?
[21:51] <phong_> ActionParsnip,   sftp
[21:52] <phong_> how to reinstall ssh then
[21:52] <phong_> openssh
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> phong_: to install openssh-server
[21:52] <budmang> ActionParsnip: no I did. That fixed that. i got php installed from apt- but my install still seems to be the one in charge?
[21:52] <phong_> ActionParsnip, how?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> phong_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> budmang: I suggest you reinstall
[21:53] <phong_> action openssh-server is already the newest version.
[21:53] <phong_> ActionParsnip, openssh-server is already the newest version.
[21:53] <allan1097> Help me
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then run:   sudp service ssh status
[21:54] <phong_> ActionParsnip, how to display current username ?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> phong_: whoami
[21:54] <budmang> ActionParsnip: I did and no errors from the remove/install but im still getting that wordpress mysql php error yet php5-mysql installs without issue. restarted apache2 etc..
[21:55] <phong_> ActionParsnip, ^Cphong_@p:~$ sudo service ssh status
[21:55] <phong_> ssh start/running, process 851
[21:55] <morsnowski> phong_, ActionParsnip sftp and ssh are not reallz related or did i miss something
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> budmang: no, as in wipe the Lucid install out and reinstall, preferably wit Precise
[21:55] <budmang> Ha not an option right now.. but yes I know.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> morsnowski: openssh-server gives an SFTP server as well :)
[21:56] <phong_> ActionParsnip, is this how i test?    sftp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:56] <phong_> that is local ubuntu ip
[21:56] <morsnowski> oh ok there you go, i always installed them seperately
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> phong_: just tried on mine here and your command doesn't connect either
[21:57] <morsnowski> sftp doesn't take usernames try without the phong part
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> budmang: you have added Debian packages to your OS so we cannot support you, they aren't to be mixed and there is reason, as you have seen
[21:57] <phong_> look
[21:57] <phong_> phong_@p:~$ sftp <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:57] <phong_> ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused
[21:57] <phong_> Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
[21:57] <morsnowski> you'll also need the sftp client installed
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> phong_: same here, tried nautilus or filezilla?
[21:58] <phong_> how to know which port is my stp listen?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> phong_: port 22 by default
[21:58] <phong_> ActionParsnip, how to check what sftp server is listen, i might have chance some point
[21:58] <CrazyGir> http://paste.debian.net/hidden/a9788d84/ <--- I accidentally removed the ssl-cert group from /etc/group, is there a way to call dpkg and have this recreated correctly? or, at least, get the original gid?
[21:59] <budmang> ActionParsnip: I only installed one pacakge though that and remvoed it. I was able to fresh apt-get install the php without issues
[21:59] <budmang> i have to be mising something easy.
[21:59] <jita> Anybody has issues with skype 4.0 crashing ?
[21:59] <jita> whenever i click any friend to chat it crashes
[21:59] <jita> it becomes dark then crashes
[22:01] <AssociateX> flash is no longer working although it shows up in chrome://plugins/. Anyone have an idea what is going on there?
[22:01] <morsnowski> phong_, ActionParsnip sorry for the interruption i was thinking of tftp :(
[22:02]  * WFPKHC wonders if anyone has seen littlefoot here
[22:03] <bazhang> !ot > WFPKHC

[22:04] <CrazyGir> nevermind, figured it out
[22:06] <naskopalov> hello
[22:06] <WeThePeople> anybody know about virtualbox.. does vb support direct3d
[22:06] <naskopalov> i'm a new user, need some help
[22:06] <bazhang> WeThePeople, try #vbox
[22:07] <phong_> ActionParsnip, i got it: sudo lsof 2>&1 |grep 'sshd.*IPv4.*'
[22:07] <phong_> ActionParsnip, it was listen to diff port ;)
[22:07] <Qabbo_> help with what naskopalov?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then you must have editted /etc/ssh/sshd_config ;)
[22:08] <naskopalov> can't open any folders
[22:08] <naskopalov> home folder icon just freezes the system
[22:08] <Qabbo_> what version?
[22:09]  * Cottus thinks some 1GB pdf  being thumbnailed
[22:09] <naskopalov> 12.04.
[22:09] <Cottus> or .exe
[22:09] <phong_> ActionParsnip, maybe long time ago
[22:09] <jpmorgan> i have no sound sound whatsoever on an asus eee pc 1015 with a fresh install of ubuntu12.04. the audio device is a realtek alc269vb. the volume keys are not recognized on the keyboard. all other oem keyboard shortcuts are recognized. here is a link to the alsa dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063309/ . readjusting volume input and output with alsamixer has yielded no results.
[22:10] <phong_> ActionParsnip, anyway how to create a short cut in terminal?
[22:10] <naskopalov> that's the url i got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063314/
[22:10] <phong_> let say i want to create a shortcut at my home > MyOwnShortCutToWhatever           myownshortcuttowhatever = \blalblalala\blalala\blalal
[22:11] <phong_> so if i cd in Myownxxxxxxxx then it will just to a folder i specify
[22:11] <phong_> so how to create a shortcut?
[22:11] <Elvano> A desktop shortcut?
[22:12] <phong_> could be anywhere
[22:12] <Elvano> Terminal: sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new
[22:12] <Cottus> naskopalov, next to the "Home" icon, there is a filesystem i think, does that open?
[22:12] <Oniklus> ln -s <asd> <asd>
[22:12] <SkippersBoss> jpmorgan as pulse is most likely the culprit, can you access pavu control
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> phong_: could create a script or an alias
[22:13] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, how do i access pavu control?
[22:13] <phong_> this is what i want  at my home:   MyFOLDER                                              myfolder = "C:\A\B\C\D  whatever
[22:13] <phong_> if i just do cd myFolder , it will bring to it
[22:13] <phong_> save my typing
[22:13] <Elvano> Evening gents. I ... or rather Ubuntu seems to have some difficulty finding my S-video output.
[22:13] <bekks> phong_: "cd ~" does that already.
[22:13] <Elvano> Linux doesn't work with drive names @ phong_
[22:14] <phong_> darm, jhust tell me how to make short cut
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> phong_: in ~/.bashrc    add:   export myfolder = "C:\A\B\C\D "
[22:14] <naskopalov> @Cottus - no
[22:14] <Cottus> ok
[22:14] <itaylor57> phong_, if you have directories you visit often, you might set an alias   man alias
[22:14] <phong_> ActionParsnip, no i dont want to do that
[22:14] <phong_> i think it create3 a link file
[22:14] <phong_> i think something with ln
[22:14] <Cottus> Elvano, xrandr is a relevant command
[22:15] <SkippersBoss> jpmorgan, can you access it from the volume icon in the notification area ??
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> then you can do:   cp file $myfolder
[22:15] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, it doesn't do anything
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> phong_: if you want to link a folder to the desktop, then yes 'ln' will do it
[22:15] <Elvano> I tried that and it tells me "output S-video not found;"  @ Cottus
[22:15] <SkippersBoss> what happens if you disable pulse
[22:16] <Cottus> naskopalov, you can install Thunar
[22:16] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, my options are dummy output and no options for mic input at all
[22:17] <SkippersBoss> u need to disable pulse
[22:18] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, how do i disable pulse?
[22:18] <SkippersBoss> 1 moment
[22:20] <Jordan_U> SkippersBoss: What makes you think that removing pulseaudio will solve jpmorgan's problem?
[22:20] <SkippersBoss> find and edit .pulse/client.conf"   by adding "autospawn=0"
[22:20] <SkippersBoss> save logout and log back in
[22:21] <SkippersBoss> u
[22:21] <SkippersBoss> Jordan_U: My apologies I will butt out please take over
[22:21] <SkippersBoss> nite nite
[22:22] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, Jord
[22:23] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, Jordan_U, what do you suggest Jordan_U? before i try SkippersBoss's suggestion.
[22:23] <SkippersBoss> sorry jpmorgan: although i never claimed to be an expert - but somneone who's had similar pulse problems in the passed I have just been told by Jordan to mind my own business
[22:24] <SkippersBoss> JPmorgan i do wish you good luck with your problem
[22:24] <Jordan_U> SkippersBoss: I simply asked what your reasoning was.
[22:24] <Elvano> On my windows my S-video output works fine. It's just on Ubuntu that it can not be found apperently.
[22:25] <schultza> sounds like a driver issue
[22:25] <schultza> what card
[22:25] <jpmorgan> SkippersBoss, after you disabled pulse audio could you use the volume keys on the keyboard?
[22:26] <Cottus> Elvano,
[22:26] <CIDR> I'm trying to get ubuntu to work with 3 monitors and 2 video cards, but i can only get a display on one or the other video cards.  Anyone have any ideas?
[22:27] <schultza> Are these video cards tied together with a cable (Crossfire for AMD or the like)?
[22:27] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Can you try testing an Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD/USB and see if audio / volume keys works correctly there?
[22:27] <Cottus> CIDR, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Multiple_Monitors
[22:28] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, yes. it will take me about 5 min. i have dual boot on this machine with 11.04. the sound is perfect on that btw.
[22:28] <Cottus> CIDR, can you send the xorg.conf
[22:28] <Elvano> Cottus,
[22:29] <Cottus> no i mean check what schultza said
[22:30] <CIDR> Cottus: that says 3 moniteso, but I'm looking at the config and only see 2?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: what video chip d you use? Does the system have a make and model?
[22:30] <Elvano> Well my card, that's a hard one. I have an Acer Travelmate 5720. It has an onboard Intel Express chipset @ schultza , ActionParsnip
[22:31] <Cottus> CIDR, it's a general definition i guess / one monitor "type" for all three of them
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: is there a key to switch to the other outputs?
[22:31] <AssociateX> Is anyone else having problems with flash player after a recent update?
[22:31] <Elvano> Nope, never had to "switch" @ ActionParsnip
[22:32] <CIDR> Hrmm
[22:32] <CIDR> Alright
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: Fn+F5 or FN+F6
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: the keyboard layout has weird icons
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: do you have your manual handy?
[22:34] <Cottus> CIDR, this is my xorg.conf and for anyone else to see :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063363/
[22:34] <Elvano> F6 is to turn the backlight off, don't yet know what F5 is for. Let me check it ActionParsnip
[22:35] <schultza> Fn/F5 on mine sets the monitor out settings on lcd, external, or both
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: yep just checked your manual, it's Fn+F5
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: did you not think kto check this?
[22:37] <Elvano> It doesn't do anything though. @ ActionParsnip
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: what if you press it twice in succession
[22:38] <Elvano> Tried that as well @ ActionParsnip
[22:38] <Cottus> Elvano, try booting with the s-video already connected
[22:39] <Elvano> That's what I did before I came here @ Cottus
[22:40] <Elvano> The VGA connection next to it does work fine though
[22:41] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, on usb from which i installed ubuntu 12.04 sound is fine. volume keys work.
[22:42] <eoss> im getting error Failed to fetch http://is.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libplrpc-perl/libplrpc-perl_0.2020-2_all.deb  Size mismatch

[22:43] <avis> nmap <IP_ADDRESS> -p 0-65535
[22:43] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: OK, that at least tells us that a default configuration works, just something has been broken somehow (probably during the upgrade). I'm looking now to see what configuration files we might want to look at, to see if/how they differ from those in the Live environment.
[22:43] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, Thanks so much
[22:43] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: You're welcome.

[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: are there any bugs reported?
[22:46] <avis> nmap <IP_ADDRESS> -p 0-65535
[22:46] <eoss> ActionParsnip: i believe you had told me to change my source list for my above error
[22:46] <eoss> ActionParsnip: i dont know what i should be changing it to.
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> eoss: does it download ok from the main server?
[22:46] <Elvano> Non that are displayed to me @ ActionParsnip
[22:47] <eoss> i do sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

[22:48] <L3top> Elvano: can you please give me the output of xrandr --verbose in a pastebin please?
[22:49] <Elvano> What"s a pastebin? @ L3top
[22:49] <Rods_Tiger> Argh! I’ve just tried installing Ubuntu to my computer, which has several drives. It picked the wrong one to install alongside Mac OS X — I was hoping it’d ask me, but it didn’t even ask me to specify the size proportions, it started installing and the back button didn’t stop it.
[22:49] <L3top> !pastebin | Elvano
[22:49] <eoss> i think ill just install arch linux then
[22:51] <dedechan> hello
[22:51] <Cottus> eoss, arch is more complex
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> eoss: change the software source to the main server....
[22:51] <mp19uy> hi again
[22:51] <Jordan_U> Rods_Tiger: Well, at this point you should probably let it finish. Other than wasting a lot of your time, it shouldn't hurt anything. Once it's done I would confirm that you can still boot into OSX (no reason you shouldn't be able to, but worth a test anyway) then you can boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD again and remove the Ubuntu partiiton, and resize your OSX partition to use the full space on the drive.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> eoss: if you can't chnage source in ubuntu, you'll struggle with arch
[22:52] <L3top> Elvano: it may be more convenient to sudo apt-get install pastebinit      and then xrandr --verbose | pastebinit
[22:52] <eoss> i dont know what the main server is, shouldnt it be set to use the main server by default
[22:52] <Elvano> I think this should do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063381/ @ L3top
[22:52] <L3top> it will just spit out a url.
[22:52] <L3top> great one moment
[22:52] <Rods_Tiger> Jordan_U: good plan.
[22:52] <Elvano> Or rather, I hope it'll do...
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> eoss: you are using a source for your packages, it is some indian or italian server, if you read your own pastebin you will see the country code being used
[22:53] <Rods_Tiger> Jordan_U: When I try it again, is there a way of getting it to pick the correct drive?
[22:53] <eoss> oh i see now
[22:53] <Cottus> L3top, it's connected, isn't it?
[22:53] <eoss> thanks
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Rods_Tiger: You can choose to do manual partitioning.
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> eoss: if you fire up software centre you can change to the main server, you don't need to know what it is, who owns it or even what colour it os
[22:53] <L3top> hmm... Elvano it does not think it is connected.
[22:53] <L3top> try xrandr --output TV1
[22:53] <eoss> well its strictly command line ActionParsnip
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> eoss: so "i dont know what the main server is" is completely irrelevant to anything
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> eoss: when did you tell me that?
[22:54] <Rods_Tiger> Jordan_U: no, that's too complicated and risky
[22:54] <eoss> ActionParsnip: i did not tell you that
[22:54] <eoss> ActionParsnip: well, i just did
[22:54] <Cottus> lol
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> eoss: so am i supposed to guess?
[22:54] <mp19uy> ActionParsnip you told me to set the wait time high and run the command ps -ef | grep wait, I set sleep 100 and I the return of that command is:
[22:54] <mp19uy> martin   20713  8638  0 19:49 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto wait
[22:54] <L3top> To be clear Elvano, we are positive this cable works right?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> eoss: without details I can't do much to help can I
[22:54] <eoss> ActionParsnip: well what other information do you need
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> eoss: in future, if you are using server, SAY SO. It changes a tonne of stuff
[22:55] <Elvano> Well I had it's possible it had been lose for the last minutes (when I got up to get some water) Let me check all connection points and run the command again @ L3top
[22:56] <eoss> ActionParsnip: ok..im not using server. its normal ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> eoss: if you run:  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list      remove the two country letters and the period
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> eoss: so you use the mouse and such to manipulate the OS?
[22:57] <avis> 65535 - 61466
[22:57] <eoss> no mouse.. its command line ActionParsnip
[22:57] <bazhang> avis, stop that
[22:57] <avis> nmap from sourceforge source
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> eoss: then it's server, isn't it...
[22:57] <Cottus> !ot | avis
[22:57] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Can you try creating a new user, or logging in as the guest user, in your installed Ubuntu 12.04 system?
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> eoss: isn't it, no desktop OS means you are running server...
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> eoss: ringht>
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> *right'
[22:58] <avis> securing ubuntu through nmap reference original first post
[22:58] <avis> your gufw has security holes all through it
[22:58] <Elvano> Checked all connection points and ran command again:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063387/ @ L3top
[22:58] <Cottus> did'nt see it
[22:58] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, ill log in as guest user. as guset i should come back here?
[22:58] <Cottus> the original post
[22:58] <avis> use iptables its more efficient that ufw
[22:58] <Cottus> pl
[22:58] <Cottus> ok
[22:58] <eoss> ActionParsnip: im running command line ubuntu 10.04 LTS NON server edition
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> eoss: then why say " ok..im not using server. '
[22:59] <L3top> Elvano: did you try xrandr --output TV1
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> eoss: if you are using server, why say that>
[22:59] <eoss> ActionParsnip: i told you already the correction version without mentioning it
[22:59] <avis> try nessus as well from git
[22:59] <Elvano> Well it doesn't give any errors, but I'm not sure what it is supposed to do @ L3top
[23:00] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, logging out and coming back
[23:00] <L3top> Try fn f5 again
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> eoss: but you are runninng server, then you said  "(23:56:02) eoss: ActionParsnip: ok..im not using server. its normal ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit"   why say that if you ARE running server, it makes no sense. Doesn't it?
[23:00] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Well, unfortunately I don't know much about sound configuration so I'm not really sure where to go next. If the guest session fails, then the problem is probably in system wide configuration files, if guest session works, then it's probably a problem with configuration files in your home directory.
[23:00] <L3top> Elvano: Try fn f5 again
[23:00] <Elvano> I did, without result D; @ L3top
[23:01]  * Cottus :P @ eoss
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> eoss: just curious why you would give false information when you need help
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> eoss: it make no sense at all.
[23:01] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, ok ill log out and see what happens. should i file a bug report? or could you explain to me how to reinstall an earlier kernel version, if it's not a bad idea?
[23:01] <nasko> Hello all. I have the following issue: cannot open my home folder. I can access the files via the designated programs, but cannot open any folders. The system just freezes for a second and then nothing happens. Please help me. I am very new at this.
[23:01] <eoss> ActionParsnip: Im not..
[23:01] <eoss> ActionParsnip: Its not server edition ActionParsnip
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> eoss: look I'll make this really easy as I'm frankly bored of this
[23:02] <mp19uy> I have a problem with at script which run when the computer resume from suspend, I was being helped by ActionParsnip but at least for now I see he is a little occupied, is there any else who can help me with this?
[23:02] <Cottus> nasko, did you try Thunar
[23:02] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: I don't think they gave "false" information, they just weren't using the same definition as you. I'd personally say that the destinction between "Desktop" and "Server" is rather arbitrary.
[23:02] <nasko> seriously new at this, you need to be very specific
[23:03] <species_4981> mp19uy: don't forget there's a channel called #bash where they can give yu a hand ... they've helped me out with simple one line Awks for example
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> eoss: run:  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list      you will see lines like: deb-src http://gb.security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-security universe           delete the 2 letters and dot in the address so that it looks like this:   deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-security universe
[23:03] <Cottus> ok, open a terminal, run > sudo apt-get install thunar , then execute thunar
[23:03] <mp19uy> ok i will try my luck there
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> eoss: do that for each line, then press CTRL+X, Press Y then Press ENTER
[23:03] <Cottus> simply 'thunar'
[23:04] <dedechan> hello
[23:04] <Cottus> hello dedechan
[23:04] <nasko> unpacking stuff...
[23:04] <dedechan> why it doesn't register me :(
[23:05] <Cottus> where?
[23:05] <Elvano> Well, thank you for all your suggestions and time, gents, but I'll call it a day
[23:05] <dedechan> I'm supposed to have a nickname, brb
[23:05] <nasko> after "thunar" the home folder opened
[23:05] <Elvano> Night
[23:05] <JoshuaBranson> How can I optimize my computer?  Where can I find information about how to do this? ie: boot up faster, build a custom kernel, ect.
[23:05] <Cottus> nasko, then , something went wrong with nautilus ,
[23:05] <eoss> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1063398/
[23:06] <OY1R> q: i had youtube videos being played ny totem, now suddenly the videos are played by flash, how do i fix it so that they are played by totem again ?
[23:06] <eoss> why does it say NOT installable?
[23:06] <Cottus> nasko, i mean, if you run nautilus --no-desktop it will freeze
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> eoss: try: sudo apt-get install tasksel; sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[23:07] <Cottus> nasko,  by the way, you can stop commands from running with "Ctrl+C"
[23:07] <L3top> Ok Elvano... this is a long way around but... Please give me the output of integrated_id=$(lspci | grep "VGA" | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1); iid_path=$(find /sys/devices/pci0000:00 -name '0000:'"$integrated_id"); cat "$iid_path"/enable
[23:07] <eoss> madh@vpsmadh:/etc/apt$ sudo tasksel install lamp-servermadh@vpsmadh:/etc/apt$
[23:07] <eoss> nothin happens
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> !lamp
[23:08] <renode> every once in a while when waking my computer from sleep (12.04 LTS) it wont give me the password login dialog box, so i have to hard reboot...is there anyway to fix this, or to stop it from happening?
[23:08] <nasko> ok, unfrozen now
[23:08] <nasko> i figured that nautilus is bugged
[23:08] <nasko> but don't know what to do
[23:09] <Cottus> nasko, you can do apt-get remove nautilus,
[23:09] <dedechan> how to set my nickname please ? /nick example ?
[23:09] <Cottus> nasko, i 'm not sure
[23:09] <JoshuaBranson> dedechan: do you mean how do you set your nickname or IRC?
[23:09] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, no sound as gust but volume keys work.
[23:09] <nasko> ok, then what after i remove it?
[23:10] <dedechan> at the moment I can not see my nickname.
[23:10] <Cottus> nasko, i want to know if after, home folder will open with thunar
[23:10] <nasko> yes
[23:10] <bazhang> dedechan, ask in #freenode
[23:10] <Cottus> is a way to set thunar as the default file manager?
[23:11] <nasko> i locked it to the launcher :)
[23:11] <dedechan> ok thanks.
[23:11] <eoss> ActionParsnip: i removed lamp-server and reinstalled after removing the subdomain and it seems to have worked
[23:11] <JoshuaBranson> dedechan: I'm not an expert, but I can see your nickname...if that helps... are you using Pidgin?
[23:11] <eoss> from source.list
[23:11] <nasko> maybe reinstalling nautilus can help?
[23:11] <eoss> ActionParsnip: thanks man
[23:11] <Cottus> i have no idea
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> eoss: sweet
[23:12] <nasko> i can work with thunar, doesn't seem to be different
[23:12] <Cottus> ok
[23:12] <Cottus> :)
[23:13] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[23:13] <jpmorgan> ok
[23:13] <nasko> oh, Cottus, another question
[23:14] <Cottus> yes
[23:14] <nasko> i have my stuff in a backup dir
[23:14] <nasko> how to recover it to the normal places?
[23:14] <Shauni> test
[23:14] <ShamanBrahman> My flash drive isn't showing up in the filesystem anymore and before that I was unable to mount it
[23:14] <Cottus> Shaun, try !test
[23:14] <ShamanBrahman> what could I do to basically reset the flash drive to a discoverable form
[23:14] <Shauni> !test
[23:14] <prattmic> Is there a way to prevent mdadm from attempting to start a RAID array?
[23:15] <prattmic> I have an array non-essential to system boot (the system is on a different drive), but because it is missing 2 of 4 drives, mdadm can't start it and halts my os boot.
[23:15] <Cottus> nasko, i don't know what kind of backup it is ,
[23:15] <nasko> .bak folder
[23:15] <crazybrain> my flash not working
[23:16] <crazybrain> Adobe flash not working
[23:16] <Cottus> well , i haven't worked with that, let me tell you what i do
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> ShamanBrahman: last time you unplugged it, did you safely remove it and eject it?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: can you give the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: use:   http://pastie.org
[23:17] <Cottus> nasko, i copy folders to a place , check the creation date and overwrite them as nessesary, i can even remove folder that no longer exist
[23:17] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1063411/
[23:17] <Cottus> nasko, man rsync
[23:18] <nasko> not to worry, i found them - i'll just copy/paste the stuff over
[23:19] <nasko> thanks for the help, bye

[23:55] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: I have no idea where to go from here. A re-install would almost certainly solve the problem (since the LiveUSB worked), but there is also almost certainly a less invasive solution (I just don't know it).
[23:55] <michael_> ~conept~ukpe47*ik=error
[23:56] <mcphail> Any ops re: michael_ ?
[23:56] <Jordan_U> michael_: Please stop.
[23:56] <michael_> ukpe47*u l 0 432 0 $
[23:56] <trism> mcphail: they may have actually been in libcrypto (it's in the libssl-dev package), but there have been linker changes since 11.10 which may have stopped it from automatically pulling it in when you include -lssl
[23:56] <michael_> ;
[23:56] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, should i file a bug report? or use the previous kernel?
[23:56] <jpmorgan> how do i reinstall the previous kernel?
[23:57] <usr13> jpmorgan: Just remove the current one
[23:57] <Ghosthunter007> Kiziaru, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:57] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: You should definitely file a bug report. I doubt very much that using an older kernel will help anything since the kernel in the Ubuntu 12.04 LiveUSB worked fine.
[23:57] <mcphail> trism: thanks. That has killed a couple of hours tonight! I thought it was something to do with the relocation of the library with the multiarch setup
[23:57] <usr13> jpmorgan: When you boot, you have the option to pick from the list, choose the pervious one.
[23:57] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: To file a bug report use "ubuntu-bug".
[23:58] <jpmorgan> usr13, thanks for your suggestion.
[23:58] <trism> mcphail: more likely due to: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking
[23:58] <L3top> Kiziaru: you can certainly use the openchrome driver.... let me check if you can get anything better.
[23:58] <jpmorgan> Jordan_U, is ubuntu-bug and irc channel?
[23:59] <usr13> jpmorgan: no
[23:59] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: No, it's a command. Normally you use "ubuntu-bug package_name", but there is also an interactive window which will pop up if you simply run "ubuntu-bug" and I think "audio problem" is one of the options it supports.


[12:21] <d3ll> my ubuntu 16.04 not shutting down properly. It stucks at splash screen with ubuntu logo and then it stays forever. To shut it down, I manually have to long press the power button. Any solution??


[01:49] <kdef> hello, can someone here give me suggests for a wifi usb n device?   I think the most common chipsets are atheros and realtek.... any opinions?
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> kdef, I have found all the ones I bought locally worked, there is a wiki on ones that due but not really up to date.
[02:25] <wilee-nilee> do*
[03:50] <alankila> kdef: I have had good experience on ath9k based device, but unfortunately only on PCI/PCIe
[03:52] <alankila> I actually have two devices on my NAS/router/VPN/VM host, a 5 GHz ralink RT2800 and Atheros AR5418, which is 2.4 GHz only. Both have worked very well over the last few year or two
[03:55] <alankila> now I have every expectation that USB introduces no particular problems, maybe the antenna is poor or something. Interface-wise, even USB 2 is fast enough, and USB itself is simply a packet-based point-to-point scheme so it shouldn't be difficult to support.
[10:41] <zhak> hello can someone help me. I just got a new ultrabook but the wifi does not work. So I need to build a custom kernel to ger it working. But the build fails because dpkg-dev package is missing. How can i get that package without network?
[11:36] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:23] <FernandoMiguel> howdy
[16:18] <fetoega> My attempt to purge nvidia-325 defies me. "Error! There are no instances of module: nvidia-325" Any ideas how to solve this?
[16:19] <fetoega> Or can i bypass this step by telling the system that the particular package is not installed and remove it manually?
[16:20] <BluesKaj> fetoega, check for it in muon
[16:21] <BluesKaj> if it's a ppa , it should still show up
[16:21] <fetoega> BluesKaj: I have no Xorg running.
[16:21] <fetoega> it is from edgers
[16:21] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:22] <fetoega> i am trying to remove/purge it after all.
[16:24] <fetoega> gonna give aptitude a go at it. perhaps ill get lucky
[16:26] <BluesKaj> use a text editor like nano to check your sources.list and either deletet he deb/ppa or # comment it ,. or  sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers , if you have ppa-purge installed
[16:27] <BluesKaj> fetoega,^
[16:28] <fetoega> how would that help?
[16:28] <fetoega> aptitude is chugging along though
[16:28] <fetoega> perhaps itt will work
[16:32] <fetoega> but aptitude has runied my systems before =)
[16:38] <FernandoMiguel> fetoega: since multiarch, aptitude is not recommended
[16:38] <FernandoMiguel> and I did use it a lot
[16:41] <fetoega> hehe aptitude decided to remove a couple of xorg drivers and vlc for some reason... then is proceeded
[16:41] <fetoega> hope it worked. brb
[19:46] <Pinocchio> good morning
[19:46] <Pinocchio> should i use drm-intel-next kernel for saucy salami?
[22:31] <unicornjedi> hello
[22:37] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, Your aware that 13.10 is in development and not advised for regular use.
[22:39] <unicornjedi> yes
[22:40] <unicornjedi> but I think the problem I have pertains to other versions of ubuntu.  it's something to do with busybox
[22:40] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, Easiest way to see what is up is a detailed description, and running the bootinfo summary on the boot repair app, and posting the url to it.
[22:42] <unicornjedi> okay let me boot into a liveUSB and get the info
[22:45] <unicornjedi> okay i'm in the boot repair app right now
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, I know nothing about mdadm or raid so others wil be your best help.
[22:46] <wilee-nilee> I would help if I could
[22:47] <unicornjedi> thanks wilee-nilee! Do you know anything about this error upon boot-up. "gave up waiting for root device"
[22:48] <unicornjedi> okay i have the info ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5841863
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> unicornjedi, not sure, generally suonds like fstab not having the correct uuid, in the circumstance I'm just guessing.
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> or root is corrupted, another guess. ;)
[22:50] <unicornjedi> D: yeah it's corrupted because mdadm messed up my boot files >:{
[22:53] <Pinocchio> hi
[22:53] <unicornjedi> hello pinocchio
[22:53] <Pinocchio> should i use drm-intel with i915 using a sandy bridge
[22:55] <Pinocchio> isw_bbfjfegbje_ARRAY
[22:55] <Pinocchio> horrible
[22:55] <Pinocchio> those bios raid stuff is just junk
[22:55] <unicornjedi> wait are you having problems with raid too?
[22:56] <unicornjedi> :( i can't help you much since I can't even get my raid working
[22:57] <Pinocchio> no
[22:57] <Pinocchio> i had that problem years ago, but i switched to btrfs raid 1 on my root and boot partition
[22:58] <unicornjedi> hmm
[23:00] <unicornjedi> could you help me with this? I installed mdadm and upon reboot I get this error. "Gave up waiting for root device" /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root does not exist"
[23:01] <Pinocchio> you boot with cd?
[23:01] <Pinocchio> disable those raid stuff on your motherboard first
[23:01] <unicornjedi> okay
[23:03] <unicornjedi> i've done that. I'm also running a liveUSB on the computer that contains the Hard Drive with Ubuntu
[23:03] <Pinocchio> install grub
[23:03] <unicornjedi> Grub is installed and working
[23:03] <Pinocchio> you need to re-install it
[23:03] <unicornjedi> ahhhh okay, let me do that now with boot-repair
[23:03] <Pinocchio> yeah or something, im old school
[23:04] <unicornjedi> old school=swag
[23:04] <Pinocchio> im not familiar with acronyms
[23:04] <unicornjedi> I'm in boot-repair... should I do recommended or advanced repair?
[23:04] <Pinocchio> just standard
[23:06] <unicornjedi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5841863/
[23:06] <unicornjedi> here is some information of my computer in case you need it
[23:09] <Pinocchio> yeah seems to be you have to remove those dm-raid stuff
[23:09] <unicornjedi> :o how could I do that?
[23:10] <unicornjedi> should I continue with boot-repair?
[23:10] <Pinocchio> udo dmraid -rE
[23:10] <Pinocchio> then boot repair
[23:11] <unicornjedi> okay, I really appreciate your help by the way.
[23:12] <unicornjedi> will sudo dmraid- -rE delete any personal files?
[23:13] <Pinocchio> yeah
[23:14] <Pinocchio> it kills the entire library of the universe
[23:15] <unicornjedi> i guess that includes my home folder?
[23:15] <Pinocchio> no
[23:15] <Pinocchio> it does not delete data
[23:15] <Pinocchio> it just removes raid signature
[23:15] <unicornjedi> oooh okay :)
[23:17] <unicornjedi> okay  i'm running boot-repair again and it says "RAID detected"
[23:18] <Pinocchio> omg
[23:18] <unicornjedi> ???
[23:19] <Pinocchio> this is strange
[23:20] <unicornjedi> when I ran sudo dmraid -rE it had errors like
[23:20] <unicornjedi> ERROR: ddf1: seeking device "/dev/dm-3" to<PHONE_NUMBER>3709421056
[23:20] <Pinocchio> i would re-install the system and save a copy of your home folder
[23:21] <Pinocchio> this stuff takes 20 minutes, yu may have a few gb of data
[23:22] <Pinocchio> i only had problems after disabling dm-raid on some linux installations, i reinstalled on a clean AHCI mode (  well i use ssd and dm-raid doens't support dischard afaik)
[23:23] <unicornjedi> AHCI mode?
[23:23] <Pinocchio> yeah without those motherboard raid functionality
[23:24] <unicornjedi> how is that different IDE?
[23:24] <Pinocchio> ide is a compatibility mode
[23:24] <Pinocchio> it doens't use the advanced features of AHCI like prefetch and NCQ or large disks >2tb
[23:25] <unicornjedi> interesting....
[23:26] <Pinocchio> your board supports AHCI? if not update your bios
[23:26] <Pinocchio> some boards like p5k or other garbage needs to be patched to enable ahci due licensing issues
[23:26] <unicornjedi> haha, i have AHCI
[23:27] <unicornjedi> (sigh) I don't want to have to reinstall all my programs after a fresh install
[23:28] <unicornjedi> along with the repositories
[23:31] <Pinocchio> if you back up the folders you don't have to worry about that
[23:31] <Pinocchio> usr var and stuff
[23:31] <Pinocchio> etc
[23:31] <unicornjedi> OMG... I was able to boot up Ubuntu. YESSS
[23:31] <Pinocchio> fascinating
[23:31] <unicornjedi> I restored the MBR record of my hard drive
[23:32] <unicornjedi> but I had to load an old kernel from advanced options
[23:32] <Pinocchio> yeah do a update-gorg later
[23:34] <unicornjedi> oh great..... I have to reinstall programs
[23:34] <unicornjedi> again I really appreciate your help
[23:35] <Pinocchio> are you using raid1?
[23:35] <Pinocchio> used?
[23:36] <unicornjedi> I think so. how can I check
[23:36] <Pinocchio> you have the same data on sdb
[23:37] <Pinocchio> my mnemonics in my cognitive apparatus needs a recovery
[23:38] <Pinocchio> in other words, i need to sleep its very late in this part of earth
[23:39] <unicornjedi> good one haaa
[23:40] <unicornjedi> well I have to go to
[23:40] <unicornjedi> goooood nightt
