[08:51] <tmbao> hello everybody
[08:51] <tmbao> i'm trouble with ibus
[08:51] <tmbao> it doesn't show the icon on the panel
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> foo357: oh then use crontab :)
[08:51] <foo357> ActionParsnip: It's part of installing some server software.
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> foo357: does the command need root access?
[08:51] <tmbao> i had checked "Show icon on  system tray"
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> foo357: you can run:  sudo crontab -e     and add the line as you need
[08:52] <foo357> ActionParsnip: umm no I believe that the explicit purpose is to circumvent root acess
[08:52] <tmbao> but it still not show
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> foo357: then just run:  crontab -e    and you can add the line
[08:52] <foo357> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> foo357: commads in: crontab -e   will run as user
[08:54] <T4sh1> Hi
[08:56] <Kingsy> guys, I am trying to add a ppa and it says to use the deb command. however on my machine that says deb: command not found..    whats going on?
[08:56] <Kingsy> deb and deb-src  both don't exist on my system
[08:56] <ikonia> Kingsy: show me the instructions
[08:56] <Kingsy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+index?field.series_filter=precise  <-- ikonia
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: those are lines to add to /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:56] <MonkeyDust> Kingsy  you need dpkg to install a deb
[08:56] <ikonia> Kingsy: those are lines for the sources.list, not commands
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: you add xorg edgers differently
[08:56] <Kingsy> ohhh damn
[08:57] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: you add that to sources.list?
[08:57] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: basically I am trying to upgrade my radeon driver to its latest version :)
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: that PPA is VERY experimental, expect issues
[08:58] <T4shi> Hi
[08:59] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah its installed now.. its pretty easy to rollback tho right? if there is a problem?
[09:00] <ikonia> Kingsy: you use PPA's at your own risk
[09:00] <foo357> ActionParsnip: how should the crontab command look like, I tried with: "sudo -u <user> -e <the string> "
[09:00] <ikonia> Kingsy: is there a reason you are using this PPA
[09:00] <Kingsy> ikonia: I know that yeah.. but you can roll back changes cant you?
[09:00] <foo357> ActionParsnip: crontab went missing there
[09:00] <ikonia> Kingsy: not always, it's a sloppy process
[09:00] <Kingsy> ikonia: yeah I wanted to upgrade my radeon drivers along with other aspects
[09:00] <ikonia> Kingsy: why ? is something broken ?
[09:01] <Kingsy> ikonia: no, it was to improve performance
[09:01] <ikonia> Kingsy: why do you think it will improve performance
[09:01] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:01] <ikonia> Kingsy: is there anything to suggest it will beyond it being a "later version"
[09:01] <Kingsy> one of the guys in #radeon was saying
[09:02] <Kingsy> ikonia: just from what I have been told.. brb gonna restart and hope it boots..
[09:02] <ikonia> Kingsy: sorry, that's not much
[09:02] <ikonia> Kingsy: I advise against doing this
[09:02] <XiaolinDraconis> before i go playing with stuff i dont understand, is this script safe to use? http://pastebin.com/rYSfv2wd
[09:02] <ikonia> Kingsy: unless you have genuine evidence there will be a performance improvement beyond "someone told me"
[09:02] <shkipper> Hi! First, sorry for my English but I'll try to explain. My problem is I can not save a web page in *.mhtml format (Ubuntu 11.10 & Opera 11.52) but in same time I can save the same web page using WinXP & Opera 12. If exactly - I need each time to correct the name of the web page ( to short it). How I can save the name of a web page in Ubuntu as same as in Win Xp? thnx in advance
[09:03] <Kingsy> ikonia: just incase..  have always wondered this.. what does ubuntu have that is equiv to safe mode?
[09:03] <ikonia> Kingsy: there isn't anything
[09:03] <ikonia> Kingsy: once you install that PPA - it's done
[09:03] <IdleOne> Kingsy: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge: sudo ppa-purge  ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
[09:03] <ikonia> Kingsy: as in once you install a package from it
[09:03] <IdleOne> Kingsy: after that sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:03] <Kingsy> say you screwed your drivers up.. and booting into normal ubuntu crashed.. how do you boot into a raw tty ?
[09:04] <Kingsy> IdleOne: thanks :)
[09:04] <IdleOne> !nox
[09:04] <ikonia> Kingsy: you boot into single user mode or "recovery" mode, or from a livecd and mount your disk
[09:04] <Kingsy> ikonia: ah so there isnt a recovery console on the system? you just use livecds?
[09:04] <ikonia> Kingsy: there is a recovery option in grub's boot menu
[09:04] <fdge> XiaolinDraconis, that script is unnecessary
[09:04] <Kingsy> ah thats what I meant
[09:04] <ikonia> Kingsy: but it's not a "save point" as windows recovery option is
[09:05] <IdleOne> Kingsy: but like ikonia and ActionParsnip pointed out xorg-edgers is very experimental and could cause issues even after being removed.
[09:05] <Kingsy> oh no, I just meant a recovery option.. what is the shortcut key to get grubs menu up on boot? I forget..
[09:05] <XiaolinDraconis> fdge, how so?
[09:05] <IdleOne> Kingsy: shift
[09:05] <ikonia> Kingsy: shift I think displays grub's menu
[09:06] <Kingsy> okie dokie thanks for the info guys, as usualy great stuff
[09:06] <Kingsy> brb.. hehe lets watch this bad boy crash :)
[09:06] <XiaolinDraconis> fdge, seems like it would help, my ram is over 300Mb used when i first boot its only >100
[09:06] <ikonia> Kingsy: hang on
[09:06] <Kingsy> ikonia: yeah?
[09:06] <ikonia> Kingsy: just one thing to keep in mind
[09:06] <IdleOne> ikonia: oh, yeah. right.
[09:06] <ikonia> Kingsy: genuinly, unless you are prepared to re-install this machine, I'd very strongly advise against using that PPA for no-reason other than "someone said it may improve performance"
[09:07] <ikonia> Kingsy: if you're happy with that, go for it
[09:07] <Kingsy> ikonia: but the package is installed now.. isnt this the point of no return?
[09:07] <fdge> XiaolinDraconis, you first need to understand how linux manages memory
[09:07] <ikonia> Kingsy: fair enough, you're done
[09:08] <Kingsy> heh
[09:08] <Kingsy> ikonia: I assume once you have sudo apt-get upgrade.. you cant roll that back?
[09:08] <ikonia> nope
[09:08] <Kingsy> ok then.. so its done.. might aswell see how it goes.. :D
[09:08] <ikonia> (you can use the purge tools but that isn't a fool proof method)
[09:08] <Kingsy> np
[09:08] <Kingsy> its np.. I cant get angry it was my decision to test this out.
[09:09] <Kingsy> see you guys on the otherside :)
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: you can roll back by restoring from backups (assuming you made some)
[09:09] <XiaolinDraconis> backups? u must be joking
[09:09] <XiaolinDraconis> only professionals do that
[09:10] <zertux> hello
[09:10] <IdleOne> jokes are not helpful
[09:10] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, if you want it backed up
[09:10] <fdge> XiaolinDraconis, unused memory is used as a cache for the harddrive. when that memory is needed for a program, it is reallocated for the program
[09:11] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, it is a great idea for systems you wish to preserve
[09:11] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, or kickstart
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: I have an 80 year old grandad into photography, he backs up weekly
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: not a professional
[09:12] <XiaolinDraconis> woot-0854, i would love to have a backup, sadly i use up all my space with dual boots and games
[09:12] <Kingsy> well that worked.. no issues :)
[09:12] <ikonia> Kingsy: say that after 4 weeks
[09:12] <ikonia> Kingsy: then you can have more confidence
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: when your drive IDE dies or motor fails, you will see
[09:12] <Kingsy> hehe.. not bad tho :)
[09:12] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, oh you can get a sata to usb adapter :)
[09:13] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip, oh trust me i have seen, cant think of how many thousands of files i have lost, artwork games music, scripts, gone
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: yet you didn't learn.....
[09:14] <woot-0854> !ubuntuone | XiaolinDraconis
[09:14] <XiaolinDraconis> woot-0854, got one im ssurprised the hdd hasnt burnt out yet with no cooling
[09:14] <woot-0854> 5g free :)
[09:14] <zertux> I have a server running Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS with 2 x Hexa-Core Xeon E5649 2.53GHz w/HT and 32GB of ram
[09:15] <zertux> http://s11.postimage.org/qwtwgxckz/Screenshot_from_2012_09_25_12_06_28.png
[09:15] <andornaut> I just did a backup with --delete, but i noticed that it was deleting the file from the src_dir instead of the dst dir... (sorta a big deal, so any help would be greatly appreciated). The script I used is: rsync --delete --progress --exclude ".*" --exclude "${src_dir}Trash*" --exclude "${src_dir}System Volume Information" -avhz $src_dir $dst_dir
[09:15] <zertux> around 800 Http connections
[09:15] <zertux> most of them are mysql queries
[09:15] <MonkeyDust> zertux  there's also #ubuntu-server
[09:15] <andornaut> I guess, my first question, is why that deleted from $src_dir; second question is is there any way to get that back from the rsync backup? The $dst_dir has those files deleted as well.
[09:15] <XiaolinDraconis> woot-0854, thats a good point, i should start partitioning better and at least backup the OS
[09:15] <T4shi> Hi anyone could send me my whois result?
[09:16] <woot-0854> Can ubuntu snapshot an os ready for usb?
[09:16] <zertux> MonkeyDust: oh, is it ok if i ask here or shouldi  go there ?
[09:16] <fdge> you don't need to back up the OS, just the files you created
[09:16] <llutz_> XiaolinDraconis: the OS is the last thing needing a backup
[09:16] <winxpvbox> XiolinDraconis: why backup the os? the data is the important part
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> zertux  yes, guess you better ask there
[09:18] <XiaolinDraconis> The data is important but its most often the OS that gets corrupted, and i dislike spending hours customizing it, praying i dont screw it up in the process
[09:18] <Joris> I'm trying to configure a test network but I can't get internet to work, dns works fine but everything outside of the network fails, anyone an idea what might be wrong? I have taken a screenshot of route/interfaces etc http://imgur.com/a/Fm2ws
[09:18] <llutz_> XiaolinDraconis: backup /etc, /home and the list of installed packages
[09:19] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, ya im right there with you.  lock into kickstart and ghost like softwares
[09:19] <woot-0854> look*
[09:19] <Joris> I think that when the ping to google, routes the google-ip to the local ip?
[09:19] <XiaolinDraconis> 5GB wouldnt be close to backing up the important stuff
[09:20] <winxpvbox> XiaolinDraconis: if you don't have backups then your data is expendable
[09:20] <woot-0854> XiaolinDraconis, sata to usb ftw
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> XiaolinDraconis  consider using an external usb disk or so
[09:21] <tmbao> hello
[09:21] <woot-0854> tmbao, hi
[09:21] <tmbao> can anyone help me to fix my trouble
[09:21] <XiaolinDraconis> Have a 200GB disk but its holding games pictures and music
[09:21] <tmbao> ibus-daemon doesn't show the icon on the panel
[09:21] <tmbao> it still works
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> tmbao: whats the issue
[09:23] <tmbao> the ibus-daemon
[09:23] <tmbao> do you know it?
[09:23] <tmbao> it doesn't show the icon on the panel
[09:23] <tmbao> i'm using unity
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> tmbao: not somehing I've had to deal with, sorry
[09:23] <woot-0854> tmbao, why not reset unity?
[09:23] <tmbao> i tried
[09:24] <tmbao> but it still hide
[09:24] <tmbao> i checked show icon on ibus preference
[09:24] <woot-0854> tmbao, did you mess with the resolution or display size?
[09:25] <tmbao> no
[09:25] <woot-0854> tmbao, did you manually delete?
[09:25] <Eagleman> Can i convert my pop3 mailbox from my ISP to an imap mailbox, but setting up a mail server and recieveing mail from an pop3 server and then recieve the e-mail using imap from the mail server?
[09:25] <tmbao> what you mean delete? i don't delete anythign :-?
[09:25] <woot-0854> lol.  sry then im outta ideas
[09:27] <foo357> Hello, how can I find the exact name of a package, if I "sorta" know what the name is, from command line?
[09:27] <llutz_> foo357: apt-cache search parts-of-then-name
[09:27] <Joris> I'm trying to configure a test network but I can't get internet to work, dns works fine but everything outside of the network fails, anyone an idea what might be wrong? I have taken a screenshot of route/interfaces etc http://imgur.com/a/Fm2ws
[09:28] <foo357> thank you llutz_
[09:28] <Joris> or somebody has an idea where I can look to? search on?
[09:28] <woot-0854> foo357, or I think tab works if you now the first few letters
[09:28] <olga__> I am foggot command fo entering to russ chat
[09:28] <llutz_> !ru
[09:29] <Eagleman> Joris do a traceroute
[09:29] <Eagleman> can you show me the output?
[09:29] <Eagleman> could you also show me the output from dig google.com ?
 thank you
[09:31] <Joris> Eagleman: traceroute wasn't installed as default on the ubuntu server; we tried to run a debian desktop version on the same machine & then the traceroute returned lines like "1. * * *"
[09:31] <Eagleman> can you ping on your default gateway to google?
[09:32] <Eagleman> <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:34] <Joris> Eagleman: http://i.imgur.com/cvaiW.png this is the result of a ping to google
[09:34] <Eagleman> That is on <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[09:36] <Joris> Eagleman: <IP_ADDRESS> is what I think might be the default gateway, the ping to google is from <IP_ADDRESS> (the ip from the machine) a ping to the dns server did work
[09:36] <Joris> Eagleman: the network admin said to add routes like route add <IP_ADDRESS> MASK <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> /P
[09:37] <Joris> Eagleman: and that's where I got the default gateway ip from, but I tried also the standard gateway ip that ubuntu recommended without any luck (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:37] <Eagleman> Why work with static routes when you have a large network?
[09:37] <Joris> It's just a test setup, I don't think there are that many servers
[09:38] <Eagleman> What is your role?
[09:39] <Raji> ikonia: Hai i have found themethod i just installed tight vnc on my windows 7 and now i can access the ubuntu desktop. Thank you all
[09:39] <Joris> I'm trying to get a django installation to run on it for somebody else:) the guy that manages the test setup is gone for this week
[09:39] <Eagleman> So you dont know the default gateway?
[09:40] <Eagleman> Isnt dhcp enabled in your network?
[09:41] <Joris> No dhcp, well I'm not sure about the default gateway, but the one for which I'm trying to get it running did install ubuntu desktop successfully with network, with the same information
[09:41] <Eagleman> What is <IP_ADDRESS> for machine?
[09:41] <Joris> but he couldn't help me with, he said he tried some things & it worked
[09:42] <Joris> I guess it's a gateway, eg. route add <IP_ADDRESS> MASK <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> /P
[09:42] <Eagleman> i guess
[09:42] <Joris> if I understand the line correctly it'll route internal traffic to that gateway
[09:42] <Joris> but it doesn't ping
[09:42] <Eagleman> It could be another server/computer
[09:43] <varun> hello, what does 10_linux do?
[09:43] <Joris> but isn't it strange that if I ping google.com, that it says that the "host ip" failed?
[09:43] <Joris> it seems as if the routing, routes the google ip to the local ip?
[09:43] <Joris> http://i.imgur.com/cvaiW.png
[09:44] <Eagleman> ping to the default gateway?
[09:45] <llutz_> varun: it searches for linux-installations on your harddisks
[09:46] <llutz_> varun: to generate entries in the grub-menu
[09:46] <Joris> pinging the gateway gives the same error as a ping to google
[09:46] <Eagleman> What exactly do you do in your company?
[09:46] <Eagleman> What for work?
[09:47] <Eiege> ChanServ: hello
[09:47] <timfrost> Joris: what routes does your machine have? (!pastebin the text output)
[09:47] <Eagleman> timfrost http://imgur.com/a/Fm2ws
[09:47] <varun> llutz:  i dont have a 10_linux in my system..i have 50_linux
[09:47] <Eagleman> same as the default gateway
[09:47] <Eagleman> which is not reachable
[09:48] <TankC> Hey all, I'm running 10.04 and I need to upgrade one of my packages to a newer revision that I can't find a compiled backport for.  What's the preferred way to compile the source of a newer revision of this package myself?  (libfuse, libfuse-dev)
[09:48] <Eagleman> Joris can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:48] <MonkeyDust> TankC  guess the preferred way is to upgrade to 12.04
[09:49] <llutz_> varun: did you rename it to get windows entries first in the menu?
[09:49] <Joris> timfrost: I took a screenshot of the routes http://i.imgur.com/RTHDz.png wasn't able to copy from the console
[09:49] <llutz_> varun: those will be generated by 30_os-prober
[09:50] <Eagleman> allways start at the botem when troubleshooting
[09:50] <Eagleman> is the NIC working and the cable attached to it?
[09:50] <varun> llutz: i installed ubuntu through wubi
[09:50] <Joris> Eagleman: a ping to <IP_ADDRESS> doesn't work, <IP_ADDRESS> does
[09:51] <Eagleman> goto another machine and try to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:51] <llutz_> varun: i don't know if wubi makes a difference for grub-files. but why are you asking about 10_linux?
[09:51] <Joris> the basics should be ok, I'm connect to the machine through vSphere
[09:51] <Joris> I don't have access to any other machines (or the physical room
[09:51] <Eagleman> Could have been usefull if you mentioned the machine is a guest OS
[09:52] <cfhowlett> varun: wubi is a TESTING environment, not a permanent installation solution.  So sayeth wubi developers.  Consider full installation, dual booting or even virtualization options.
[09:52] <Eagleman> who asigned the ip address?
[09:53] <karthick87> How to fix this apt-get update issue? Here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1226278/ hope someone can help me out to fix this issue..
[09:53] <senad> hi
[09:54] <senad> exit
[09:54] <senad> Q
[09:54] <varun> llutz: i am installing xen and ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008795 say to execute this command sudo mv /etc/grub.d/10_linux /etc/grub.d/50_linux
[09:55] <llutz_> varun: well if you already have 50_linux and no 10_linux, youcan skip that
[09:55] <llutz_> varun: they just reorder the menuentries
[09:56] <varun> llutz: but then xm dmesg in terminal says ERROR:  Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
[09:56] <Joris> Eagleman: I've no idea, I think the same guy that sended the configuration, I think that maybe the only thing left is to wait until he is back or hope he reads his emails:)
[09:56] <Joris> but thanks for helping^
[09:56] <llutz_> varun: its not related to that error
[09:56] <Eagleman> Ok good luck
[09:57] <Joris> I think I'll just wait until he's back:)
[09:57] <varun> llutz: what is it related to?
[09:57] <llutz_> varun: idk, i don't use xen. but those grub-files aren't the reason for that error, for sure
[09:58] <iNTEl> hey
[09:58] <iNTEl> anyone can help me here ?
[09:58] <iNTEl> just little help !
[09:58] <llutz_> !anyone | iNTEl
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: just ask....
[09:59] <iNTEl> remember me Actionparsnip :D
[09:59] <iNTEl> anyway i upgraded and customized my ubuntu

[10:00] <iNTEl> Eagleman : its k
[10:01] <iNTEl> Eagleman : is it in the ubuntu software center ?
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> iNTEl: In future just ask rather than "iNTEl> just little help !", its redundant.
[10:01] <timfrost> karthick87: you may need to add  '/ubuntu' to the 'http://ftp.availo.se' entries (use 'deb http://ftp.availo.se/ubuntu ' on the entries for that mirror)

[10:23] <linocisco> Experience of transfering MySQL database from XAMPP to ubuntu server LAMP is appreciated . Let me know how to do this
[10:23] <llutz_> linocisco: cant you just mysqldump the database
[10:23] <average_1rifter> llutz_: probably, but the experience is what interests him
[10:23] <average_1rifter> that seems pasted off of a job ad
[10:23] <average_1rifter> lol
[10:24] <karthick87> How can i remove from Dash Home/Folders: 'Pictures','Music','Videos' and 'Downloads" which i have already removed from my /home?
[10:25] <average_1rifter> karthick87: Warning: USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION =>    rm -rf ~/Pictures
[10:25] <linocisco> llutz_, I am not that smart
[10:25] <llutz_> karthick87: edit/remove them from  ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[10:25] <average_1rifter> oh you already removed them
[10:25] <average_1rifter> scratch what I just said
[10:28] <llutz_> linocisco: mysqldump -h host -u root -p  databasename >database.sql      the resulting file can be imported the same way into your lamp-mysql
[10:29] <linocisco> llutz_, what do you mean by resulting file?? any screenshot on step by step??
[10:29] <llutz_> linocisco: more info in the mysql-documentation (dev.mysql.com)
[10:30] <blackshirt> llutz_ thats command would redirected the output to the sql file
[10:30] <karthick87> thankyou llutz_
[10:31] <llutz_> blackshirt: yes, thats what it's supposed to do
[10:31] <blackshirt> llutz__ he should understand :d

[10:38] <puddle> guys I am trying to switch from windows to linux (ubuntu) and looking for alternatives to softwares I am currently using, most of them I already replaced but I still would need to find a good alternative to FeedDemon and Yahoo Widgets, maybe someone could point me to the right direction?
[10:38] <joru> #join #ubuntu-se

[10:39] <Eagleman> Can i convert my pop3 mailbox from my ISP to an imap mailbox, but setting up a mail server and recieveing mail from an pop3 server and then recieve the e-mail using imap from the mail server?
[10:39] <AdvoWork> hi there, i did a time rsync ..... and it says: real	395m6.208s user	31m19.605s sys	4m41.142s  is that the time bit?
[10:40] <SpacePoet> where do i find source files for installed programs?
[10:40] <winxpvbox> puddle: what is feeddemon?
[10:40] <puddle> well its a feed reader on windows which I got used to
[10:40] <winxpvbox> !rss | puddle
[10:40] <puddle> its not avaible for ubuntu but a good alternative would be nice
[10:41] <no_gravity> Hello! What are popular alternatives to ubuntu 12? I was happy with ubuntu 11 but i cannot cope with ubuntu 11. My workflow is different. Its slow and crashes often.
[10:41] <jilt007> Is there any way to edit pdf file?
[10:41] <cfhowlett> no_gravity: lubuntu/xubuntu
[10:41] <winxpvbox> !equivalent | puddle
[10:42] <cfhowlett> jilt007: gimp
[10:42] <jilt007> cfhowlett: Thanks!
[10:42] <crizis> !nounity | no_gravity
[10:42] <mj_> how can install ubuntu in terminal
[10:43] <InspectorCluseau> puddle, > http://alternativeto.net/software/feeddemon/
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> no_gravity: just install xfce, kde or lxde and it won't be ran
[10:43] <puddle> well actually I asked because I was curious about what u guys think, I am not exactly new to linux but pretty much new to what software is avaible for desktop and which ones are considered the best ones
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> no_gravity: you don't have to use unity shell in 12.04 (ubuntu 12 doesn't exist)
[10:44] <no_gravity> ActionParsnip: i installed the xubuntu-desktop. is that xfce?
[10:44] <winxpvbox> no_gravity: yes
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> no_gravity: yes, xubuntu uses xfce+xfwm instead of gnome+compiz byu default
[10:44] <no_gravity> winxpvbox: thanks. its too slow. the notebook is damn slow with ubuntu 12 and xubuntu.
[10:44] <no_gravity> winxpvbox: it works fine with debian 6, but i would like something more modern.
[10:45] <winxpvbox> no_gravity: then try lubuntu
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> no_gravity: could use Lubuntu :)
[10:45] <winxpvbox> no_gravity: sounds like your notebook is getting old
[10:45] <lusers> Hi. I got a question about mounting. How can I mount /dev/mapper/black_ninja/{Documents, Videos, Templates, etc} to ~/ in one command? I don't want to do ~/black_ninja/{Documents, Video, Templates, etc}
[10:46] <kenshiro> Hi, what's the best way to change login screen picture in ubuntu 12.04 ? I don't want to use external applications as Ubuntu Tweak
[10:46] <cabuloso> whats the best *box window manager these days?
[10:46] <winxpvbox> cabuloso: no such thing as best
[10:46] <no_gravity> winxpvbox: yeah, downloading lubuntu right now.
[10:46] <puddle> one more thing I would like to ask you, i had problems with ubuntu, it did freeze on install for 2 weeks i tried numerous way to install it, did check memory and hdd did not find any problems, later i managed to install ubuntu and after a kernel update it stopped freezing, well it only froze once since but seemed like a software issue, any idea what might have been the issue?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> kenshiro: there is no single best way, there are many different ways
[10:47] <no_gravity> winxpvbox: it is old. but it works fine with debian 6. so instead of switching i would rather stay with that os.
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> kenshiro: one way is to use ubuntu-tweak
[10:48] <Kingsy> so does anyone in here use the xorg-edgers ppa ? out of curiousity ?
[10:48] <winxpvbox> no_gravity: use whatever you are comfortable with but we can only support ubuntu here
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: i use the edgers update ppa for newer nvidia drivers
[10:48] <serdotlinecho> Hi guys, i'm trying to understand what is the meaning of asterisk symbol on Boot? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1226357/
[10:48] <kenshiro> ActionParsnip I tried lightdm application, it's installed by default but doesn't even loads. What's the manual method to change login picture?
[10:48] <winxpvbox> Kingsy: ppas are unsupported 3rd party packages
[10:49] <winxpvbox> Kingsy: if something goes wrong you are on your own
[10:49] <puddle> btw none can suggest a good desktop weather application that is actually developed still? (like gdesklet or screenlets)
[10:49] <Kingsy> winxpvbox: I know, I am asking if anyone in here uses it..
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> kenshiro: possibly in lightdm.conf some place
[10:49] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: hmm I didnt think you thought the ppa was a good idea ?
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> puddle  i use this   indicator-weather
[10:50] <puddle> ty for the tip
[10:50] <kenshiro> actionparsnip ok thank you
[10:51] <K350> any really small and tiny nonsense app in the ubuntu repo?
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> K350  come again?
[10:51] <crizis> K350, cowsay :D
[10:51] <K350> Need it for checking a script I'm doing. So a small nosense app for lot's of install/uninstallation  would e nice
[10:52] <crizis> K350, sudo apt-get install cowsay
[10:52] <crizis> K350, you won't be disappointed!
[10:52] <K350> cowsay eh..lol..ok I'll try that one
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: read the description on the PPA website
[10:53] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah I have..
[10:53] <crizis> K350, also remember to test it, "cowsay I'm useless app"
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> good ol cowsay
[10:53] <K350> crizis:  haha..well let's see :-)
[10:53] <Eiege> hello
[10:53] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: what I have done. install the ppa, apt-get upgrade. Rebooted it worked then I disabled the ppa.. so it wont install anything else.
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: thats one way
[10:54] <K350> crizis: testing it..oh..yea, of coruse..I forgot  :-D
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> crizis: fun to mix cowsay with fortune :)
[10:54] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah.. probably not the best way I assume?

[11:01] <winxpvbox> !mac | safecancel
[11:01] <slugslug> is there mail in there?
[11:01] <Eagleman> only names on my accountr
[11:01] <winxpvbox> Eagleman: read it then quit
[11:01] <Eagleman> how do i read it?
[11:01] <safecancel> winxpvbox: wonderful - thanks :)
[11:01] <cfhowlett> !zh|Eiege:
[11:01] <slugslug> with cat
[11:01] <slugslug> then delete it
[11:01] <Eiege> ubottu: 谢谢
[11:02] <Eagleman> i am using Maildir with e-mail
[11:03] <Eagleman> So how did the e-mail got there?
[11:04] <winxpvbox> Eagleman: all unix systems have mail
[11:04] <Eagleman> what?
[11:04] <slugslug> if you have not setup an email server then its most likley a service emailing you reports / errors?  what was in the mail?
[11:04] <mattyk> i like ubuntu sooo much
[11:04] <Eagleman> cant remember
[11:05] <Eagleman> did not really read it
[11:05] <Eagleman> But i've set it up using ~./Maildir
[11:05] <Eagleman> so mail should be there
[11:06] <cousin_luigi> How do I change the defaults for a multimedia keyboard?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | cousin_luigi
[11:07] <cousin_luigi> ActionParsnip: They already work, but the function I'd like to change doesn't appear among the keyboard shortcuts.
[11:09] <T4shi> Hi anyone can paste me my whois result?
[11:09] <slugslug> whois T4shi
[11:10] <Eagleman> If i create a folder in my imap mailbox, where can i find this specific folder on my system?
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> T4shi  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1226383/
[11:10] <crizis> Eagleman, imap folders reside at server, not on your system
[11:11] <Eagleman> yes but where can i find that folder on the server
[11:11] <Eagleman> that it what i meant
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> T4shi: http://pastie.org/4796826
[11:12] <aether> T4shi: you can whois yourself
[11:12] <slugslug> !whois slugslug
[11:12] <crizis> depends on email server. look for its documentation where it stores user data
[11:13] <Eagleman> I''ve set it up with ~./Maildir using dovecot
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !keyboard
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> cousin_luigi: I'd look into xbindkeys
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> cousin_luigi: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8233
[11:16] <karthick87> I did this already  "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs". The folders are deleted from my /home but they are remaining in Dash. How to fix it ??
[11:18] <cousin_luigi> ActionParsnip: It wasn't installed. Shouldn't already be there for it to work?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> cousin_luigi: you need to configure it and so forth
[11:20] <cousin_luigi> ActionParsnip: But it's already working and I'd like to change the current behaviour.
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> cousin_luigi  then maybe you should explore the options and possibilities of xbindkeys
[11:25] <cousin_luigi> MonkeyDust: How can I be sure it won't simply superimpose on the actions already configured by gnome?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> cousin_luigi: or you can use ccsm, you can define actions then set the shortcuts that make it happen (shortcut, hot corner etc)
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> cousin_luigi  guess nobody ever tried what you want to do, you're on the way of becoming the expert
[11:28] <cousin_luigi> MonkeyDust: I see.
[11:28] <cousin_luigi> Well, the problem is the computer shuts down immediately when pushing that button, so I find that hard to believe:/
[11:28] <cousin_luigi> In any case, thanks for the hints.
[11:29] <cousin_luigi> bye
[11:30] <blinky1> hi! i'm new here. is this a good channel to ask for support?
[11:30] <catphish> blinky1: yes
[11:30] <cfhowlett> blinky1: yes for ubuntu
[11:31] <blinky1> good ;)
[11:31] <blinky1> i'm running ubuntu 12.04 and want to get audio over hdmi running
[11:31] <blinky1> this is my card:(via lspci): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)
[11:32] <Hatori> !nvidia
[11:32] <catphish> blinky1: have you installed the nvidia drivers? i'd expect it to just work
[11:32] <Hatori> !nvidia | blinky1
[11:32] <blinky1> in the drivers dialog i have four options. i don't understand which one to chose :(
[11:33] <blinky1> thanks for the link!
[11:33] <nsudo> folks need a vpn for 12.04 which one is good
[11:33] <catphish> openvpn
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: network manager has vpn functionality in it
[11:34] <AdvoWork> hi there, i did a time rsync ..... and it says: real	395m6.208s user	31m19.605s sys	4m41.142s  is that the time bit?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: 'good' is an opinion, nothing more
[11:34] <blinky1> so what is the right driver/module string for this to work??
[11:35] <catphish> i'd just install the normal nvidia driver from the drivers dialog that comes up
[11:35] <catphish> (the one that isn't post-updates has been more reliable in my experience)
[11:36] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ; Thanks Also my soundcard does not work can you help
[11:36] <blinky1> @catphish my problem is: drivers dialog is in german translation and not very easy to understand..
[11:37] <catphish> what drivers do you see?
[11:37] <blinky1> @catphish: there are for options, all of them have NVIDIA in their name :?
[11:37] <blinky1> rough translation:
[11:37] <blinky1> 1: accelerated graphics driver from NVIDIA (version 173)
[11:38] <winxpvbox> blinky1: 173, looks like you have an old nvidia card
[11:38] <blinky1> 2: NVIDIAs accelerated graphics driver (updated) (version 173-updates)
[11:38] <blinky1> 3: accelerated graphics driver from NVIDIA (current) (recommended)
[11:38] <catphish> (3) is what you want
[11:39] <blinky1> 4: NVIDIAs accelerated graphics driver (updated) (version-current-updates)
[11:39] <blinky1> so number 3?
[11:39] <catphish> yes
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[11:39] <blinky1> that is the one currently active
[11:40] <blinky1> @catphish but the audio-settings has only two cards: "digital out (SPDIF)" and "analog out"
[11:40] <d3bug> can't build xf86-video-intel-git.  it seems to be looking for libuxa.la which i cannot figure out what is supposed to produce that library.
[11:40] <d3bug> i have googled, and nothing i have found gives any hint as to where to get it or what package it is a part of.
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> !find libuxa.la
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> !find libuxa
[11:41] <d3bug> its a big mystery... lol
[11:42] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ; http://pastebin.com/yb3c9guA
[11:42] <blinky1> @winxpvbox: what was that with "old nvidia card"?
[11:42] <winxpvbox> blinky1: drop the @
[11:43] <winxpvbox> blinky1: 173 is the old nvidia driver
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: oh i hate when it does that, gimme a sec
[11:45] <d3bug> guess I'll try a bit later... ty anyway
[11:45] <catphish> blinky1: not sure why the audio wasn't wouldn't be picked up :(
[11:45] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ; cool
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: looks like its being updated. I used to have the file in my dropbox too :(
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: if someone else has it then you can run it, its also in Quantal by default too, but sadly not in Precise which I am on
[11:50] <blinky1> catphish:  :( any other hints? i'm somewhat comfortable with fiddling with settings etc... but for this i have just no idea what to start with
[11:51] <blinky1> should i be able to find sth in logfiles?
[11:51] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ; cool
[11:52] <bitbuzzer> how do i change the color of #comments in config files (like apache.conf) ?
[11:53] <jrib> bitbuzzer: depends on the text editor
[11:53] <blinky1> winxpvbox: could i just use/get the newer driver?
[11:53] <TJ-> bitbuzzer: They don't have a colour - but some text editors colourise them to aid reading
[11:53] <bitbuzzer> jrib, vim
[11:53] <winxpvbox> blinky1: no, you have an older card, so 173 is the proper driver for you
[11:53] <catphish> blinky1: i'm not sure, sorry, i don't know if the audio and video drivers are related
[11:54] <catphish> does anybody know if it's possible to prompt for network config when using kickstart?
[11:54] <catphish> my installation seems to use default config and not prompt
[11:54] <blinky1> winxpvbox: so no audio over hdmi on UBUNTU for me?
[11:55] <soman> Hi all. I'm applied some updates in Ubuntu 12.04 and now I can't set a 1280x1024 resolution for my monitor. 1024x768 only available. How I can change it? Before updating I installed a nVidia driver from official website
[11:56] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ; no luck so far
[11:56] <winxpvbox> blinky1: no idea sorry, i've never used hdmi
[11:56] <blinky1> winxpvbox: kk thx
[11:56] <blinky1> catphish: do you know any other place to ask?
[11:57] <catphish> blinky1: ##linux maybe
[11:57] <blinky1> catphish: thx!
[11:57] <catphish> also, google it
[11:58] <blinky1> catphish: i did ;)
[11:58] <TJ-> catphish: I believe this might do it: "network --device=eth0 --bootproto=query"
[11:58] <blinky1> catphish: it's always "just select nvidia driver, select audio card, be happy..."
[11:59] <catphish> blinky1: yeah, i'd have expected that to work :(
[11:59] <catphish> try the 173 driver if you haven't already
[11:59] <catphish> failing that, you could try uninstalling the driver and  installing the latest one manually from nvidia, but not sure that's worth it
[12:00] <rp2> any xrdp users here? I find http://ubuntuwiki.net/index.php/Xrdp,_installing rather confusing (it says two things that are wrong, luckily I only read it after successful installation)
[12:02] <blinky1> catphish: i'm pretty sure i tried all 4. what are the package names for those drivers?
[12:02] <catphish> not package nemes
[12:02] <catphish> if you want the latest ones, you uninstall the using ubuntu
[12:02] <catphish> then go to the nvidia website
[12:03] <winxpvbox> catphish: that isn't a good idea
[12:05] <catphish> where you can download the latest ones
[12:05] <catphish> *uninstall the ubuntu ones
[12:05] <catphish> don't do it unless you're desperate though, they're not supported by ubuntu
[12:05] <catphish> it's not supported, but it often works well
[12:05] <catphish> i wouldnt recommend it unless he exhausts all other options
[12:06] <blinky1> catphish: winxpvbox: hmmm
[12:06] <TJ-> Are you discussing bleeding-edge Nvidia drivers? They are made available via a PPA you know
[12:07] <InsaneGene> Hello peeps, I need a good HTTP proxy client, something easy to use like FreeGate on windows, any suggestions please?
[12:07] <catphish> i have used that ppa now actually, it's a better choice
[12:08] <TJ-> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[12:08] <blinky1> TJ-:: thx!
[12:08] <catphish> TJ-: thanks
[12:08] <blinky1> btw: how to explain pidgin to open URLs in browser?
[12:08] <alkisg> On an sshfs mount with follow_symlinks, how can I delete a symlink?
[12:09] <InsaneGene> #linuxac
[12:09] <Eagleman> rm link?
[12:09] <catphish> delete the link as normal?
[12:09] <catphish> it may delete the destination, test first :)
[12:10] <alkisg> catphish: when the link targets a directory, rm refuses to delete it, it thinks it's a directory instead of a symlink
[12:10] <alkisg> I tried it, and I cannot find a way, that's why I'm asking :)
[12:11] <alkisg> I can only `mv` a symlink, I cannot `rm` it... or at least I don't know how
[12:11] <lordlucan> I've have installed a Intel 5100 wireless card in my nettop. However I my wireless network is not showing. Do I need a driver? How do I install it please?
[12:11] <catphish> alkisg: you probably can't do anything about the directory problem
[12:11] <baier_> Someone with /wc
[12:12] <alkisg> Thank you catphish
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | lordlucan start here
[12:12] <catphish> TJ-: "network --device=eth0 --bootproto=query" didn't work :(
[12:12] <lordlucan> thank you ubottu
[12:13] <baier> Sorry for the last one. Does somebody have any experience with Ubuntu 12.04 shortcuts not working? More specifically Ctrl+Super+Left/Right to snap windows so that they cover the entire side of the left/right side of the screen. Both in gnome and unity.
[12:13] <TJ-> catphish: phooey! I'm guessing the "bootproto=query" is the key part. It's worth checking the anaconda source-code for the package to see if/how it is used
[12:13] <catphish> ah "Also, the --bootproto=query option is deprecated. If you want to prompt for network configuration in the first stage of installation, use the asknetwork option."
[12:13] <catphish> i'll try that
[12:14] <TJ-> alkisg: Instead of "-o follow_symlinks" you might try "-o transform_symlinks" - which transforms them into relative links (OK as long as you're not wanting to traverse different file-systems)
[12:14] <zykotick9> baier: i was under the impress (perhaps incorrectly) that only Unity has the "snap" feature
[12:14] <TJ-> catphish: yay... documentation1
[12:14] <zykotick9> s/impress/impression/
[12:14] <bretth>  anybody know if Calligra will be default office in Kubuntu12.10?
[12:15] <catphish> TJ-: at least you gave me something to google :)
[12:15] <baier> zykotick9: No, my computer at work runs in gnome and has the snapping-feature
[12:15] <alkisg> TJ-: unfortunately we need to traverse different file systems
[12:16] <TJ-> catphish: :D what would we do without out? We'd still be using the 'gopher' protocol!
[12:16] <zykotick9> baier: ok sorry, you'd know better then i would... my bad.
[12:16] <baier> zykotick9: ..but it doesn't work on my personal lap-top:(
[12:16] <TJ-> alkisg: In which case, as "follow_symlinks" literally replaces them, I don't think you can delete them from the client side
[12:17] <TJ-> baier: Ctrl+Super+Left/Right with 12.04 Unity works correctly here. Maybe you've bound the Super (Meta) and/or Ctrl keys to some other action ?
[12:17] <alkisg> TJ-: gotcha, I was hoping there would be a tool to instruct sshfs that for this particular call we don't want it to follow the symlinks but operate on them
[12:18] <catphish> aargh "The asknetwork parameter is obsolete in Fedora 17 and later releases. If specified it will have no effect."
[12:18] <baier> TJ-: Ty. I'll go back to Unity and check.
[12:18] <TJ-> catphish: Someone's messin' with you!
[12:19] <catphish> TJ-: i agree!
[12:19] <TJ-> alkisg: As you're already using SSH, why not just "ssh <host> rm -f /path/to/link"
[12:20] <catphish> oh, asknetwork is a kernel option not a kickstart option for a start
[12:20] <alkisg> TJ-: there's a control socket open to the server but it belongs to root, not the user, so it would require a password prompt there, and I can't do that for a service script
[12:20] <alkisg> Thank you though, I'll do some workarounds
[12:23] <drupin> http://jsbin.com/isiguk/1/  this is my system infor what is missing here
[12:23] <TJ-> alkisg: How about a script on the server using inotify against "/some/path/to/file" that waits for that file to be created, reads a path from it, does "rm -f <path>", deletes the file, and goes back to waiting?
[12:23] <TJ-> Oh he's gone, now he'll never know the really neat solution :p
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> drupin  start from the beginning, what brings you here
[12:24] <drupin> MonkeyDust: some drivers are missing i guess box freezes some times if over loaded....
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> !details > drupin
[12:26] <drupin> ko
[12:27] <TJ-> drupin: "overloaded" == problem , not missing drivers. No driver == hardware not being used
[12:27] <AdvoWork> im trying to kill a process(3 of them) running by testuser, ive tried kill id, it gave no error, but still running, but it says [awk]  then [dirname] so i assume these are threads,how can i get rid of these by that user?
[12:27] <drupin> ok TJ-
[12:27] <winxpvbox> AdvoWork: kill -9 pid
[12:27] <TJ-> drupin: Best place to start in resolving such issues is /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog
[12:28] <drupin> ubottu: box freezez .. running 12.04 .. when too many apps running...
[12:28] <AdvoWork> winxpvbox, still does the same
[12:28] <drupin> ohh
[12:28] <drupin> MonkeyDust: box freezez .. running 12.04 .. when too many apps running...
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> drupin  start by not using compiz
[12:29] <drupin> how
[12:29] <drupin> let me see logs
[12:30] <drupin> compiz?
[12:30] <tsimpson> AdvoWork: they are defunct, that means that they're dead, just not cleared up by it's parent process
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> drupin  what is 'too many apps' and what apps are they?
[12:32] <drupin> Google chrome with 10 tabs... two terminal two thunar. etc
[12:32] <drupin> i am running a 32 bit OS on 64 bit core
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> drupin  it would have saved time, if you said all that in your first question
[12:34]  * dr_willis dident evn see the  first question.
[12:36] <drupin> MonkeyDust: yeah... sorry for that
[12:36] <drupin> actually got mixed up
[12:37] <AdvoWork> tsimpson, how do i get rid of them then?
[12:37] <AdvoWork> or remove their parent process
[12:37] <lusong> hello everybody
[12:37] <drupin> dr_willis: running Google chrome with 10 tabs... two terminal two thunar. etc freezes my box...
[12:38] <nicferrier> I am having a frustrating issue with unity on 12.04. when alt-tab apps you have to wait for about a second before the new app actually gets focus. it makes keyboard switching very annoying. is this a general problem or is it me somehow?
[12:38] <drupin> http://jsbin.com/isiguk/1/  this is my system info dr_willis
[12:38] <tsimpson> AdvoWork: you don't need to, they are dead. if you really want them gone, then whatever process created them needs killing/ending
[12:38] <drupin> how i stop compiz MonkeyDust
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> drupin  by not using unity
[12:39] <dr_willis> i never have figured out why people need 5+ tabs open at a time.
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> drupin  install lxde or xfce or fallback and select that in the lightdm login menu
[12:40] <drupin> i need to runn around them here and there
[12:40] <dr_willis> if you want to save  some system resources then a lighter desktop/wm maay help a little
[12:40] <drupin> its ubuntustudio
[12:40] <dr_willis> lubuntu/lxde is the lightest ubuntu    full featured desktop
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> drupin  #ubuntustudio
[12:41] <drupin> but this is basic ubuntu queries
[12:41] <dr_willis> ubuntustudio i think used a different kernel by default also.
[12:41] <drupin> OIC
[12:41] <patrickgamer> is there a set of specialized/customized Ubuntu Server images for small devbox use (read: dedicated Apache, dedicated MySQL, etc. with low system requirements)? I don't want to spend the time tweaking if I don't have to.
[12:41] <dr_willis> install lubuntu, see if thgat desktop preforms better i guess.
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> patrickgamer  there's also #ubuntu-server
[12:41] <theplanet> guys, i need to stop sshd and keep it from running at boot
[12:42] <drupin> lubuntu ok
[12:42] <dr_willis> set up flashblock in the browser so flash dosent hog the system.
[12:42] <patrickgamer> MonkeyDust:  kk thanks
[12:42] <dr_willis> theplanet:  you want to start it by hand if needed?
[12:42] <theplanet> dr_willis, yeah
[12:43] <drupin> let me login again with xfce desktop
[12:43] <dr_willis> theplanet:  then you need to find/edit that sshd.conf upstart file to make it not autorun. or i think theres some sorrt of 'override' file also
[12:44] <theplanet> where are upstart files located
[12:44] <dr_willis> !upstart
[12:44] <dr_willis>   /etc/init  i think
[12:49] <AdvoWork> tsimpson, can i find what process created them?
[12:52] <theplanet> dr_willis, is removing that conf file enough?
[12:52] <Guest19914> o
[12:52] <Guest19914> ciao
[12:52] <Guest19914> !list
[12:53] <dr_willis> theplanet:  rename it to sshd.dontrun  will disable it
[12:54] <dr_willis> theplanet:  but then the service command cant start it
[12:55] <theplanet> oh
[12:56] <theuser> i have a ubuntu laptop that turns it self of quite frequently
[12:57] <theuser> i dont have time to see what the messages on the console is before it shuts down
[12:57] <theuser> which logfiles would contain this info
[12:57] <dr_willis> http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files
[12:58] <dr_willis> theplanet:  check the above.  more info then i will ever need.
[12:59] <theplanet> thanks dr_willis
[13:00] <theplanet> i think i am leaving ubuntu
[13:00] <theplanet> for fedora
[13:01] <theplanet> i need selinux's ability to restrict directories to certain binaries

[13:07] <tambu> Hey guys, ubuntu 12.04 update replaced graphics drivers and now i just get a blank screen after selecting the grub prompt, isn't there a way to add "quiet splash text" to the grub command to make it boot into console?

[13:07] <de> but my hardware is more than up to par for it
[13:07] <TJ-> namidark: I think you'll need to tell it which RAID level as well

[13:09] <Wilson2B> I went into software center and removed/reinstalled Unity and Compiz
[13:09] <Wilson2B> no problem in 2D mode

[13:15] <TJ-> namidark: I tested here: "sudo mdadm --grow  --raid-devices=3 --add /dev/md127 /dev/xvdh /dev/xvdi"
[13:16] <tf81_netbook> OerHeks:  who is the maintainer of the ubuntu x-swat ppa?
[13:16] <TJ-> namidark: When growing a RAID0 you need to add the spares *and* increase the number of disks in the same command, hence using "--raid-devices=X" to tell it the new number of disks in the array

[13:33] <vivid> would it be possible to decouple compiz from unity?
[13:33] <Wizard> vivid: It's been done in Unity-2D.
[13:34] <vivid> yes, but you know, unity 2d ends at precise
[13:34] <Wizard> Than, the answer is "with a lot of hard work"
[13:34] <Wizard> Unity is in face a compiz plugin.
[13:34] <vivid> or, starting over with metacity
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> vivid  and no support, because nobody else has tried it
[13:35] <stewbydoo> I tried installing ubuntu on my external hard drive and everything seemed to work until I tried to run it there. Now I am getting this "HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': inavlid argument"

[13:35] <stewbydoo> sdc*
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> Guest16923  this is the ubuntu support channel
[13:36] <vivid> MonkeyDust, well, the problems ive been facing with unity/compiz are all still the same as when it released.  so, not much support there either
[13:36] <Wizard> vivid: Still the same? What do you mean?
[13:36] <vivid> panel over fullscreen, buggy opacity, buggy settings, buggy fullscreen apps, lower framerates
[13:37] <vivid> you know, the same stuff
[13:37] <Guest16923> Thanks MonkeyDust. Complete noob fleeing from windows. Any suggestions?
[13:37] <vivid> i mean, it cant be that hard to set metacity to compositing and use something like docky to fake the launcher...
[13:38] <winxpvbox> Guest16923: one suggestion: change your nick
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> Guest16923  use a live cd or usb to get used to ubuntu
[13:38] <Madox> hello at all. can anyone tell me, why I could not find fieldrunners in USC? it is not shown, but listet here: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/fieldrunners/
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> oh, a game

[13:42] <DJones> Madox: Same as me, doesn't show for me either
[13:45] <DJones> Madox: Looks like there's been a problem with it and its not in USC, I found a like explaining how to install it on the forums though (if that helps) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2042857
[13:45] <Madox> DJones: thx. so it seem a problem in general (?)
[13:46] <Madox> DJones: ok, readed your last message to late. thank you

[13:53] <basz> dr_willis: I'm not sure how to do that - but I just found this http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/quantal/universe/base/roundcube

[13:54] <arabi> TJ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1226649/ this is the ERROR please help
[13:54] <TJ-> arabi: What does this report? "which ruby"
[13:55] <arabi> ruby 1.8.7
[13:55] <arabi> TJ what i have to do
[13:56] <vivid> MonkeyDust, no i kind of like the unity.  especially the dash which isnt available in the alternatives
[13:56] <arabi> http://toranbillups.com/blog/archive/2010/09/01/How-to-install-Rails-3.0-and-Ruby-1.9.2-on-Ubuntu/  I have followed this tutorial exactly
[13:56] <Freqit> Hi. I'm using ubuntu samba as PDC, for some reason the XP machines can't connect to each other correctly (needed for some office applications). When I try to ping "XPmachine02" from "XPmaxchine01"'s cmd it resolves some WAN-IP, not the correct LAN-IP. I think it might be a problem with the samba pdc configuration but I'm not sure. Can anybody advise?
[13:56] <vivid> MonkeyDust, just looking for ways to solve the problems im having....which seem to go away with metacity....which is why i asked my original question
[13:57] <yyz> qui
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> vivid  then you may want to submit an idea in !brainstorm
[13:57] <vivid> they wont like my idea
[13:57] <TJ-> arabi: The error messages mentions the path for ruby 1.9.1 but it seems the default ruby is 1.8.7. I think you'll need to change the default ruby version using update_alternatives
[13:57] <arabi> TJ I have been trying it for two days :( no idea what to do
[13:57] <Freqit> (NET TREE in windows' cmd  shows all the names correctly, so does smbtree under ubuntu shell)
[13:58] <arabi> TJ letme try that
[13:58] <vivid> MonkeyDust, actually while i was outside having a coffee just now, my idea was to download unity2d and maintain it myself :P but it needs window snapping and some other additions
[13:58] <basz> dr_willis: thx. I know about the existence of pap's I just can never work out how to do it and am unsure about it's possible conflicts with existing installations… what would the ppa for this package be?
[13:58] <TJ-> arabi: "sudo update-alternatives --config ruby"
[13:58] <unicorn> Hi there
[13:58] <usr13> Freqit: Sounds like a network problem.
[13:59] <usr13> Freqit: You might use router config to set permanent leases.
[14:00] <lordlucan> Can someone help me with xbmcbuntu and wireless please?
[14:00] <TJ-> Freqit: The clients will be using WINS for name resolution. Your Samba PDC will need to be running nbmd configured as the WINS server and its address given out as a DHCP option
[14:00] <unicorn> Does anyone know how I can add a compose key on my keymap? I would like that AltGr + o renders a 'œ'...
[14:00] <nsudo> folks need a vpn to browse sites in usa for ubuntu 12.04
[14:01] <TJ-> nsudo: Set up a free minimal AWS instance at a US data-center
[14:02] <nsudo> TJ Please elaborate i am a newbee
[14:02] <nsudo> TJ- Please elaborate i am a newbee
[14:03] <TJ-> nsudo: I take it you need to access a US site that restricts access based on geographical location?
[14:03] <jmtheron> VMware/ubuntu question. ok i think the dhcp problem is not with problem server but my vm i have my network adapter  set to bridge is this correct?
[14:03] <nsudo> TJ- Yes
[14:03] <OerHeks> nsudo pay for an VPN, and connect to it > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN
[14:03] <jmtheron> even if i set a static ip i can ping the routers.
[14:04] <nsudo> 0erHeks O'
[14:04] <nsudo> TJ- Thx
[14:05] <Freqit> usr13 , TJ- : it worked fine until we changed our router. Whatever name i try to ping from my win machines, they ping the OpenDNS IP <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:06] <TJ-> nsudo: OK, so, get a free Amazon Web Services virtual server instance (minimal profile), install openvpn into it. Configure it and your PC to use openvpn to create an IP tunnel ("tun" not "tap" interface), configure the AWS instance for IP masquerading, and set a route on your local PC that sends all traffic for the US sites via the tunnel. That way, the destination site sees a US-based public IP address accessing it.
[14:06] <usr13> Freqit: Yep. It's a network issue.  You'll find solution(s) in router config
[14:06] <TJ-> Freqit: Is the router responsible for DHCP? If so, have you configured it to issue the WINS option to clients?
[14:06] <nsudo> TJ- Great! Bravo
[14:08] <TJ-> Freqit: My local dnsmasq DHCP server has this for WINS: "dhcp-option=44,<IP_ADDRESS>"
[14:08] <Freqit> usr13 , TJ- : it's a cisco RV042. It acts as the DHCP server (range <IP_ADDRESS> - <IP_ADDRESS>), it uses the OpenDNS as it's primary DNS. No WINS setting is set.
[14:09] <TJ-> Freqit: Which means the XP clients will fall-back to using regular DNS to resolve the hosts
[14:10] <TJ-> Freqit: Set option 44 to the IP of your PDC that is doing WINS, in the router
[14:10] <Freqit> TJ- so I have to tell the router the linux machine is the WINS Server and set Samba to act as one?
[14:10] <TJ-> Freqit: Yes. Probably the Samba server is already configured to do WINS, but changing the router stopped option 44 being send to to DHCP clients
[14:11] <AdvoWork> i did a time rsync ..... and it says: real	395m6.208s user	31m19.605s sys	4m41.142s  is that the time bit?
[14:11] <AdvoWork> i assume so, but does it literally mean the time it took to do the whole thing, i dont get the 3 diff sections>?
[14:11] <Jamey_> Hum
[14:11] <Freqit> sorry to sound dumb, but you lost me at "option 44". the smb.conf has the WINS part commented out.
[14:12] <Jamey_> j adore
[14:12] <Freqit> (or am i mixing stuff up here?)
[14:12] <Jamey_> oula
[14:12] <Jamey_> trop cool
[14:12] <Pumpkin-> AdvoWork: the "real" time is how long it took in clock time, from start to finish. The user and sys times are how much of your systems time it took (in user and kernel space).
[14:12] <jmtheron>  VMware/ubuntu question.after i set my ip to <IP_ADDRESS>/24 i cant ping <IP_ADDRESS>/24(my router)  i have my network adapter  set to bridge is this correct?
[14:12] <Npc> my laptop keeps dropping wireless connection, yet works well when using windows
[14:12] <Npc> any idea what could cause this?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Npc: its a completely different OS with different suppor
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> *support
[14:13] <Npc> yeah but one might expect an os to provide at least some level of connectivity these days
[14:14] <magarwal> how can i upgrade my perl version on ubuntu, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS without effecting any of the processes
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Npc: what wifi chip do you use?
[14:14] <magarwal> my perl version is 5.15 and i want to upgrade it to 5.16
[14:14] <Npc> some realtek i think
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Npc: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network     it will tell you
[14:15] <BadDesign> How do you add a manual page to the MANPATH I have tryed to add to .bashrc: export MANPATH="$MANPATH: /home/username/Software/CMake2.8.9/man/man1/ " but doesn't work
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | magarwal
[14:15] <AdvoWork> Pumpkin-, thanks for that, much appreciated
[14:15] <magarwal> thanks
[14:15] <TJ-> Freqit: "option 44" is a DHCP server option that will be needed in the router. That will be the IP address of the Samba server. On the Samba server, smb.conf should enable WINS server
[14:16] <TJ-> Freqit: Once the router and server are configured, and "sudo service nmbd restart" done, the clients will need to obtain new DHCP leases to receive option 44.
[14:16] <Npc> realtek RTL8191SEvA
[14:16] <magarwal> can i remove the existing perl simply by apt-get remove
[14:16] <magarwal> and then do the install
[14:17] <foo357> Hello, how do I uninstall python-based software?
[14:17] <jrib> foo357: depends how you installed it
[14:17] <AdvoWork> Pumpkin-, so 395m6.208s is 395 minutes, and 6.208seconds? or 6 seconds . 208 ms?
[14:17] <foo357> jrib: I installed it from soure
[14:17] <jrib> foo357: depends how you installed it from source
[14:17] <Npc> after reboot wlan seems to work for a while
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Npc: ok now you can use that to find guides etc
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Npc: may also be a known bug
[14:18] <Npc> well what i have found has been to disable power management
[14:18] <Npc> but that doesn't help
[14:18] <Npc> or restart networking but that doesn't help either
[14:19] <Npc> could not using network manager help?
[14:19] <Pierreb> hi I'm trying to enable ssh for my ubuntu 12.04 machine but i can't connect to it, is there some setting in a firewall/selinux or whatever i have to change?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Npc: could disable n speed using module options may help. Also disable ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Npc: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan     do you see a lot of wireless networks using the same channel?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> Npc: may help if all else fails: http://samiux.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/howto-rtl8191se-wireless-card-on.html
[14:24] <Npc> i see a lot of networks
[14:24] <Npc> some are maybe on a same channel
[14:26] <Npc> is ubuntu using some default driver and not realtek's official?
[14:26] <usr13> Pierreb: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:27] <JamieJ> Hi. Does anyone know of open source software that allows temporary file hosting?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Npc: if you have a lot on the same channel, you'll have connection issues
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> JamieJ: samba, various ftp and sftp servers.....
[14:28] <Npc> ActionParsnip: this runs well for a moment and then just becomes unusable, with windows it is mostly usable
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Npc: i'd look at changing channel, may help
[14:29] <JamieJ> ActionParsnip: I mean like ready to go software that'll just turn a domain into a ready-made site
[14:29] <JamieJ> I know they exist, just can't think of the name
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> JamieJ: website isn't really file hosting, do you want a web server or a file server
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> JamieJ  you mean drupal?
[14:31] <Npc> ActionParsnip: this is the uni's network, can't change them
[14:31] <fluitfries> hi, i issued the wrong usermod command and removed my user from all the groups it needed to be in.  can anyone help me re-add that user to the groups?  Lubuntu.
[14:32] <Pierreb> usr13: something was wrong with it but a restart solved it
[14:32] <zykotick9> fluitfries: for next time, -a for append for usermod
[14:33] <fluitfries> zykotick9, yea, i know that now!!
[14:33] <vivid> fluitfries, gnome-system-tools package also includes a GUI for your ease of modification
[14:33] <fluitfries> zykotick9, i've got the lubuntu root filesystem mounted in my backtrack install, so i can edit the groups files...
[14:33] <zykotick9> fluitfries: bad idea.  but good luck.
[14:34] <fluitfries> vivid, ok, a gui would probably help me.  :)
[14:35] <jmtheron> how do i install kde without all the other desktop software on ubuntu?
[14:35] <fluitfries> zykotick9, should i boot off a Lubuntu Live CD instead of using my BackTrack install to edit the group files??
[14:35] <cheteen> hi
[14:36] <zykotick9> fluitfries: i'd use Recovery mode myself.  and edit group files is the part i think is a "poor" (bad is a little too harsh) idea, use the proper command.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> jmtheron: sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> !info kde-plasma-desktop
[14:36] <cheteen> anybody can help me?
[14:36] <bazhang> cheteen, ask the channel
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> cheteen: without asking, no
[14:37] <fluitfries> zykotick9, the reading i have been doing suggests that i might need to edit at least one group file in order to get my user back into the admin group, then suggests issuing the commands for the rest of the group repairs...  sound right?
[14:37] <cheteen> how I can join channel?
[14:37] <bazhang>  /join #channel cheteen
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> cheteen: /join #channelname
[14:37] <cheteen> I need help for turkish channel
[14:37] <cheteen> I didnt see
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> !tr
[14:37] <bazhang> !tr | cheteen
[14:37] <cheteen> ok ty
[14:38] <vivid> do you guys have a country code cheatsheet or something?
[14:38] <zykotick9> fluitfries: that's why "recovery" mode would be beneficial.
[14:38] <bazhang> vivid, the ubottu factoids
[14:38] <fluitfries> zykotick9, ok, i'll look into it, thanks.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> !brain | vivid
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> vivid  sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> oops
[14:43] <agc93> Has anyone on here set up a PPTP VPN on Ubuntu? (client only)
[14:44] <jmtheron> thanks ppl that was the info i was looking for
[14:45] <LarsN> is there a dedicated #ubuntu-(something) room for www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[14:46] <agc93> LarsN: not an official one, at least
[14:46] <foo357> Hello, is there some way I can make a command execute after the current one is finished (without scripting)?
[14:47] <agc93> foo357: you can use command1 && command2
[14:47] <agc93> or command1; command2
[14:47] <LarsN> agc93: message received.
[14:47] <agc93> the first one will mean that command2 will only run if command1 is successful. The second version just runs them both regardless
[14:47] <zykotick9> foo357: the && means after 1st completed successfully, run 2nd
[14:47] <vivid> agc93, where is the download for ubuntu android?
[14:48] <crizis> nowhere
[14:48] <LarsN> vivid: I "suspect" there isn't one yet.
[14:48] <vivid> so its just a proof of concept page? looks interesting
[14:48] <LarsN> vivid: at least not outside Canonical.
[14:48] <crizis> it'll be only for handset makers
[14:48] <agc93> vivid: not exactly Proof of concept. It's an OEM-level product
[14:48] <vivid> so but, its GPL'ed right?
[14:48] <agc93> as crizis said, its only for the manufacturers to ship with their devices
[14:48] <agc93> vivid: who knows
[14:49] <LarsN> I'd like very much to have an Ubuntu Set Top Box, and Ubuntu on my Android phone. :)
[14:49] <agc93> LarsN: wouldnt we all? :P
[14:49] <crizis> well, it's just arm build of ubuntu, so yes, it'll be open
[14:49] <vivid> yea, looks like a cool idea, dont really like it as much if i have to buy a specific vendor's device though : (
[14:49] <crizis> the problems start when you actually wanna run it on your phone... :)
[14:49] <administrator> how to block usb in ubuntu
[14:49] <agc93> crizis: it's a bit more than that, though. It's a whole webtop layer across Android.
[14:49] <vivid> have any of you tried it?
[14:50] <Guest78241> how to block usb in ubuntu ?
[14:50] <agc93> vivid: I very much doubt that. Not in any production phones yet, so a bit tricky.
[14:50] <agc93> Guest78421: what do you mean?
[14:50] <vivid> bummer, id really like to get a day to hack on it
[14:50] <LarsN> I've got Ubuntu running on Android on my HP Touchpad.  but it's not exactly the experience I want.
[14:50] <LarsN> VNC into Ubuntu from Android leaves a lot to be desired.
[14:50] <agc93> LarsN: Yeah, the chroot/virtual is never as good
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> LarsN: what do you do on the remote system?
[14:51] <LarsN> ActionParsnip: with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse it's an almost usable computer.
[14:51] <vivid> LarsN, seems like the best part of ubuntu for android is that you have a good interface while only using the phone
[14:51] <LarsN> ActionParsnip: although the VNC, chroot, virtual bits make it a bit slow.
[14:51] <vivid> versus trying to play with unity..
[14:52] <adoet_t> LarsN: depend your sdcard class
[14:52] <LarsN> I've been giving unity a chance this time around.
[14:52] <Guest78241> how to block usb in ubuntu ?
[14:52] <vivid> LarsN, no i mean on a tiny phone screen
[14:52] <LarsN> adoet_t: hp touchpad, doesn't have an sd card.  32gb of internal storage :)
[14:52] <agc93> Guest78241: what do you mean by block?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Guest78241: you can take a user out of the plugdev group
[14:52] <LarsN> vivid: ah, yeah.
[14:52] <Guest78241> would like to block USB ports
[14:53] <adoet_t> oh
[14:53] <Guest78241> means not want to use pen drive any more
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> Guest78241: I believe it will stop the new devices being detected and reacted to when they are connected
[14:53] <agc93> Guest78241: so no one can use them? Just take all the user accounts out of plugdev. Should do the job.
[14:53] <Guest78241> somthing like that
[14:53] <agc93> As ActionParsnip said, actually :P
[14:54] <Guest78241> how can i procd ?
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Guest78241: take the user out of the group, when it next logs in, it will be in effect
[14:55] <storm-trooper> Hi, I have a non PAE laptop (Dell X1) and I'm having no luck upgrading to 12.4 It's currently on 10.10 Any sugestions?
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> storm-trooper: you will need to clean install to make that jump
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> storm-trooper: or you can upgrade to Natty, then to Oneiric, then to Precise
[14:56] <Guest78241> do you have any documents for that so it wil gre8 help for me
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest78241: what is gre8 please?
[14:56] <Guest78241> great help
[14:57] <Guest78241> do you have any documents for that so it will great  help for me
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest78241: http://maketecheasier.com/add-remove-user-to-groups-in-ubuntu/2012/07/30
[14:58] <storm-trooper> ActionParsnip: Tried that multiple flavors from net install to mini. Still no dice.
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> storm-trooper: the xubuntu and lubuntu Ubuntu's do not use PAE by default
[14:59] <THE_GFR|WORK> storm-trooper: maybe you need to buy some dice if you have none?
[14:59] <Guest78241> i refer that but i stuck on USB pen drive blocking so pls share tme how to block the same
[14:59] <THE_GFR|WORK> Guest14984: please be less specific.
[15:00] <THE_GFR|WORK> Guest78241: that was for you
[15:00] <Guest78241> i refer that link but could not work with my requirements
[15:01] <storm-trooper> ActionParsnip: Will try xubuntu  Thanks.

[15:06] <ikonia> hsnmck: how do you know the encyption is weak if you don't know what type of encyption it is
[15:06] <Josh_> so I sudo apt-get install muffin
[15:06] <Josh_> Now, How do I switch from this Window manager
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: cinammon isn't supported here
[15:06] <hsnmck> ikonia, the person who encrypted told me
[15:07] <Josh_> ActionParsnip, This isn't related to cinnamon
[15:07] <Josh_> Kindly, read again
[15:07] <ikonia> hsnmck: ok, so he should be able to tell you what he used to encypt
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: if you press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace    yuo will be using metacity as the WM
[15:07] <hsnmck> ikonia, he's a prof :p
[15:07] <Josh_> I would like to know "How to switch Window manager"
[15:07] <ikonia> hsnmck: so ?
[15:07] <ikonia> hsnmck: he can tell you what type of encyption he used.
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: and I ghave told you so, kindly read again
[15:07] <hsnmck> hsnmck, well I'm supposed to find out
[15:07] <Josh_> You told that later, dear sir.
[15:07] <ikonia> hsnmck: ok - then that's not an "ubuntu" problem
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: i have now told you :)
[15:08] <Josh_> mmhmm
[15:08] <Josh_> Well, I did metacity --replace
[15:08] <Josh_> Now I lost everything :D
[15:08] <Josh_> Including "taskbar" and all
[15:08] <Josh_> :P
[15:08] <Josh_> Do I press Ctrl+C?
[15:09] <Josh_> How do I get everything back without reboot
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: press ALT+F2 and run:  windowmanagername --replace     its how you switch WM... so the switching back method you already knew
[15:14] <fredders> hey guys any1 here who would know why my comp detects my HDMI port as my primary audio output?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> fredders: just change the audio device in the sound options
[15:14] <dr_willis> mine defaults to hdmi also ive noticed
[15:15] <fredders> I have done that but it just changes back again
[15:15] <dr_willis> when? om bootup?
[15:15] <fredders> yeah
[15:15] <fredders> I had it working earlier today. Then now it just changed back and won't play nice
[15:16] <dr_willis> but not during the session?
[15:16] <fredders> I get system audio from the speakers. But all applications are directed to the HDMI output
[15:20] <quixotedon> i'm using 12.04 updated yesterday, I've just realized that the bluetooth setting is not available such as adding a new connection and searching a device though i can turn it on using hardware switch
[15:20] <Josh_> ActionParsnip, So how you make it permenent :P
[15:20] <tommy28> ciao
[15:20] <dr_willis> no lists pleaase....
[15:20] <dr_willis> ;)
[15:20] <BluesKaj> hehe
[15:21] <dr_willis> its getting to be a 'meme' ;)
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> quixotedon  try blueman
[15:21] <BluesKaj> why do the italians still think this is file sharing channel
[15:21] <fredders> Doctor, I'll be back after I've tried this fix
[15:22] <dr_willis> i wonder if its not an on join script
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> quixotedon: if you run: hcitool dev    do you see a bluetooth device
[15:22] <quixotedon> MonkeyDust: is it blueman or bluemon?
[15:22] <BluesKaj> they must know by now that it's not
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> quixotedon  blueman, for manager
[15:22] <dr_willis> we need a file bot to share ubuntu isosss with them
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: that'd be cool
[15:23] <quixotedon> MonkeyDust: the package is only bluemon found
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> BluesKaj  there are a few million italians
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> !info blueman > quixotedon
[15:23] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust, but how many use freenode or eben irc
[15:24] <BluesKaj> even
[15:24] <savio> hey i have port 53 open means i'm running named is it necessary for desktop user can i stop named service
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> what's port 53 again?
[15:24] <tommy28> ciciciao
[15:25] <DJones> !it | tommy28
[15:25] <twitchie> DNS/bind
[15:25] <tommy28> ok grazie
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> port 53/UDP is DNS
[15:26] <savio> ActionParsnip, port 53/tcp is also dns but use for zone transfer ?
[15:26] <savio> am i  right?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> savio: makes sense
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
[15:27] <savio> ActionParsnip, i think named service is not useful for desktop users can stop the service is ok?
[15:27] <quixotedon> MonkeyDust: is bluemon the same with blueman? it's nowhere around
[15:28] <dr_willis> named service is bind? and its not installed by default i thought
[15:28] <quixotedon> MonkeyDust: ah, thanks it's in synaptic not through terminal anyway
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> quixotedon  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> ok
[15:29] <quixotedon> you wanna know?
[15:29] <savio> what is dnsmasq on port 53
[15:29] <dr_willis> !info dnsmasq
[15:30] <Umo>  Hey guys, my network interface is regognized a boot and seems to be running but it wont work until I run ifdown and ifup again. Any suggestions?
[15:30] <quixotedon> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[15:30] <dr_willis> i thhought dnsmasq was default installed on 12.04
[15:30] <savio> is it necessary?
[15:30] <sileni> hey guys
[15:30] <savio> dr_willis, yeah it is
[15:31] <dr_willis> savio:  id leave it alone.
[15:31] <sileni> I seem to have lengthy boot up times now on ubuntu 12.05. I used to use ubuntu sometime ago (11.10 ish i think) and the bootup time was around 2-3 minutes then
[15:31] <sileni> do you guys know of any major changes that is causing this for users?
[15:31] <sileni> dmesg doesn't seem to show anything fishy
[15:31] <savio> dr_willis, i thinking to filter that port
[15:32] <dr_willis> savio:  i never noticed it being open to the network. just to localhost
[15:32] <savio> dr_willis, ok
[15:32] <dr_willis> savio:  so you m ay be worried about nothing
[15:33] <dr_willis> i could be wrong. ;) try nmaping the machine from another on the lan
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: it is :)
[15:33] <savio> dr_willis, from virtual machine will do this?
[15:34] <dr_willis> vm's can be set up in different ways.    so no idea
[15:35] <dr_willis> savio:  seems its not really an security issue.and it makes looookups quicker
[15:35] <dr_willis> silly keybord
[15:35] <savio> few days ago my download folder from home is got deleted and i don't know how i'm only user
[15:35] <sileni> something is seriously wrong...I can't go to unity's dashboard search and type "terminal" it used to bring up the gnome-terminal
[15:35] <sileni> but now it can't find it
[15:36] <savio> sileni, wait for few min then try
[15:36] <sileni> savio: i don't understand why I need to wait
[15:36] <savio> sileni, sometimes it takes time to load
[15:36] <sileni> savio: It just says there is nothing to match my search
[15:37] <sliddjur> my laptop with ubuntu 12.04 is making a very low clicking sound and seems to turn of and on the sound (the mute button is blinking on and off). this only occurs when i am not playing any sound. this is a HP compaq 6910p and I think the sound codec is a AD1981HD ?
[15:37] <savio> sileni, i just suggest you no big deal
[15:38] <dr_willis> blinking mute led.. weird
[15:38] <sileni> savio: what?
[15:38] <dr_willis> wonder if the mute button is mute/unmuteing and stuck
[15:38] <savio> sileni, nothing
[15:38] <sileni> savio: I didn't meant to come off as aggressive. I just don't think waiting is solving the problem
[15:39] <dr_willis> sileni:  see if it works for a new user.. see if any searches work?
[15:39] <savio> sileni, sometimes it does on my machine
[15:42] <hectorthewellend> hello
[15:42] <_google_360_baid> hello
[15:44] <_google_360_baid> 有人吗
[15:44] <aniasis> If I set the DISPLAY on a shell to the IP of my desktop and run an X windows application it should show on my desktop correct?
[15:44] <bazhang> !cn | _google_360_baid
[15:44] <dr_willis> aniasis:  you may need to use 'xhost +' also
[15:45] <dr_willis> aniasis:  and thers may be other security things depending on the connection
[15:46] <dr_willis> ssh's x forwarding makes  it easier

[16:02] <InsaneGene> hey guys, Does any one know how to use (install and configure ) openvpn ?
[16:02] <jordanm> java -version
[16:02] <Crimethinker> Nope.
[16:02] <jordanm> InsaneGene: apt-get install openvpn
[16:02] <BluesKaj> sambagirl, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras unless you're a java dev then you'll need tot do some reserearch
[16:02] <sambagirl> ok
[16:03] <sambagirl> thanks
[16:03] <InsaneGene> jordanm, I did that but what next ?
[16:03] <sambagirl> chrome is becoming messy in my mind...thanks
[16:03] <compdoc> InsaneGene, openvpn is all about getting the config files right on the server and on the client
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN
[16:03] <Crimethinker> Can anyone help me with my Nvidia problem?
[16:03] <InsaneGene> compdoc, where can i get the config file ?
[16:04] <compdoc> InsaneGene, you can google up many examples, but its all a matter of testing
[16:04] <jordanm> InsaneGene: you write it, i believe there is an example included in /usr/share/doc/openvpn/
[16:05] <Crimethinker> Suppose not...
[16:05] <bazhang> Crimethinker, ask the channel
[16:05] <Crimethinker> Er, um, how? Sorry, I'm relatively new to IRC.
[16:06] <bazhang> Crimethinker, just ask

[16:11] <FiberMan> can anyone here help with a fairly fecked ubntu server not booting.
[16:11] <Guest60113> Hey, is anyone here descent enough at the arm architecture to assist me with a quick make compiling error?
[16:11] <Crimethinker> I'll try.
[16:11] <criminull> is 'alien' a package manager, or just a file converter?
[16:11] <FiberMan> its filesystem is screwed.  it lost its iscsi connection to the san
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> criminull  the latter
[16:11] <FiberMan> recovery mode doesnt boot
[16:12] <bobweaver> criminull,  I thought that it was like rpm too deb ?
[16:12] <FiberMan> complains about missing inode
[16:12] <FiberMan> then kernel panic

[16:12] <Crimethinker> Guest60113?
[16:12] <bobweaver> !info alien
[16:12] <criminull> I thought so MonkeyDust, just curious, thanks
[16:12] <bobweaver> thanks bazhang
[16:12] <sambagirl> will 32bit apps run in 64bit environment?
[16:12] <FiberMan> i dont get to a command line to run fsck
[16:13] <Guest60113> for the most part yes sambagirl
[16:13] <sambagirl> ok thanks
[16:13] <ikonia> alien is something that should not be used
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> sambagirl  you may need ia32-libs, it's part of something else
[16:13] <Guest60113> anyone know if there is a raspi channel?
[16:13] <Banzounet> Hi i just edited my /etc/network/interface file :  "http://pastebin.com/PLRqGqVP" but it's not  working :s May someone help me :( ?
[16:14] <Crimethinker> Guest60113, your question about an arm make error?
[16:14] <Guest60113> yes
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> Guest60113  you mean raspberry pi?
[16:14] <Guest60113> yeah
[16:14] <Guest60113> I found a nice tutorial teaching little bits and pieces of the assembly for it and the compiler shot back the code saying no input files
[16:14] <Guest60113> im so new to assembly i have no clue how to fix
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> Guest60113  there's #raspberrypi, some 325 people there (unofficial channel)
[16:15] <Guest60113> MonkeyDust thankyou so much lol
[16:15] <watermark> My install has been hung at "cleaning up" for a while, but there is tons of disk activity.  Does it do a disk check or something during cleanup?
[16:15] <Crimethinker> I don't really suggest Assembly for anything, but if you must, then I'll need the source code you tried to make.
[16:16] <sambagirl> Guest60113 you can always get an old ibm mini computer and practice your assembly on that :D
[16:16] <scarleo> Someone else tried the latest NVIDIA driver with Unity? My Launcher won't reveal when it's in autohide mode
[16:16] <Crimethinker> :)
[16:16] <Crimethinker> My Nvidia card has problems, too.
[16:16] <Crimethinker> I'm not really sure.
[16:17] <Crimethinker> I've tried Unity, KDE, and Xfce, but they all act strange with Nvidia.
[16:17] <scarleo> I didn't have a problem with 304.43 but 304.53  broke it :(
[16:17] <Guest60113> lol i have a couple of older pc's to practice it on but they do not support the new linux kernel and i have to find distros that still update repositories with 2.3
[16:17] <Guest60113> or 2.6 i mean
[16:18] <Crimethinker> Now, then,  my Nvidia problem that I asked about quite a while back?
[16:18] <Guest60113> dude if you think they act weird with nvidia then try AMD, so much less support for those GUI's
[16:18] <sambagirl> ASM = UGH :D
[16:18] <sambagirl> A,1221 MOV B,2121
[16:18] <sambagirl> :D

[16:24] <Guest60113> TJ- Ive never used make before so idk what success looks like yet
[16:25] <TJ-> Guest60113: that's a simple one! You've not got the cross-compiler tools (correctly) installed. make is trying to call the linker and can't find it
[16:25] <watermark> found my answer, bug already reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkgsel/+bug/1041881
[16:25] <Guest60113> TJ- Oh ok so the GNU toolchain i downloaded before have to go somewhere specific?
[16:26] <TJ-> Guest60113: Are you cross-compiling an ARM kernel on an Intel/AMD PC?
[16:26] <AClicK> Bonsoir

[16:30] <jiffe98> can ubuntu mount / off an lvm partition?  I'm going through the setup and it won't let me make it bootable
[16:31] <jpds> jiffe98: Yes, it can.
[16:31] <TJ-> jiffe98: Yes. You need to install the "lvm2" package using the terminal before entering the disk partitioner steps of the installer
[16:32] <_google_360_baid> 管理员你看的懂中文吗（adimer are you understand what i mean? hehe ~~~）
[16:32] <Guest95948> hi all
[16:33] <TJ-> jiffe1: And, once the installer has completed, you need to mount the /target/ system and install "lvm2" using a chroot so the drivers and tools are installed in the initial ramdisk

[17:00] <platypusfriend> I think there's a problem with the MAAS documentation--- On https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS under the heading "Configuring DHCP", shouldn't "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf" be replaced with "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf"..?
[17:00] <OerHeks> Kapsas,  AHCI is the only right setting
[17:00] <Kapsas> but it does not work
[17:00] <johnsky> Hey all.
[17:01] <platypusfriend> Anyone have DHCP experience?
[17:01] <platypusfriend> I think there's a problem with the MAAS documentation--- On https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS under the heading "Configuring DHCP", shouldn't "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf" be replaced with "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf"..?
[17:01] <genii-around> Kapsas: A pastebin with the results of: sudo lshw     might show us what the hardware is, from there it may be to load a driver for it, or perhaps something else
[17:01] <OerHeks> Kapsas, gparted should be able to handle 2 Tb drives, try it with the small one only.
[17:02] <Kapsas> I have tried with 40 Gb only, no success
[17:02] <johnsky> I have an irritating issue with HDMI. It flashes black every time audio is combined.

[17:03] <merlin2049er> thanks
[17:05] <merlin2049er> unity and chrome have been crashing on me lately... is there a problem with them?
[17:05] <johnsky> Every time audio starts (whether it's a system sound or music, or anything) it seems the HDMI output has to be re-combined and re-syncd.
[17:06] <rp2> my chrome crashes on WIndows 7
[17:06] <zykotick9> merlin2049er: chrome or chromium?
[17:06] <merlin2049er> chromium
[17:06] <bazhang> rp2 how is that an ubuntu issue
[17:06] <johnsky> I'm looking for a way to keep the audio active, like playing dead air on loop from startup.
[17:07] <rp2> it's not - but it might be relevant
[17:07] <bazhang> rp2, no need to mention it here
[17:08] <roberto> hi all I installed 12.0.4 Pangolin and added two users. Now, there's a 10-15 sec wait on lightdm-initiated X login and logout. I tailed Xorg.0.log and syslog, and can't see any Warnings, errors or otherwise suspicious.  Where else could I look?
[17:08] <rp2> Im trying to figure out whether Samba can be ataught to just use /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for its users and passwords - no luck yet
[17:09] <joan>  Hi, this is really unbelievable, I had a nasty bug concerning CUPS 1.5.3 in kubuntu 12.04, that caused the following output in the error log:
[17:09] <joan> "failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id NAME_OF_THE_PRINTER"
[17:09] <joan>  Well, I tried installing VirtualBox with W$ XP on that kubuntu 12.04 and setup the printer, with success.
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> rp2: why not use its own database as usual?
[17:10] <joan>  But the weird thing is that after that, printing through cups in linux has been fixed automagically. I can't understand anything... This is weirdness itself
[17:10] <vartotojas_> can someone help me? im trying to use this command : sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin.   but i get this msg " Reading package lists... Done

[17:10] <bazhang> !java | vartotojas_ have a read
[17:10] <joan> yes, that's the most irritating thing, roberto
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> vartotojas_: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[17:11] <joan> and I discovered it purely by chance, roberto
[17:11] <vartotojas_> ActionParsnip:  oh ty
[17:11] <roberto> hehe normally in windows the irritating thing is it DOESNT work. Cool that in linux it irritates you that it DOES work :)

[17:12] <daniel__> Hello @all
[17:12] <joan> roberto, it works at the price of having to print first a page in W$ through virtualbox, shame on CUPS. These guys behave in a way that I cannot understand
[17:12] <mikebot> Hi, is it possible to create a bootable usb drive (for windows) on a mac computer?
[17:12] <genii-around> Kapsas: As I stated earlier, if you boot to the usb and then pastebin the result of: sudo lshw       ..there might be some information we can use to help you.
[17:13] <bazhang> mikebot, whats the connection to ubuntu support
[17:13] <genii-around> Kapsas: Ah, I see it is updated, good.
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> joan: you culd bridge the network of virtualbox, then print to cups directly that way (like a new physical system on the LAN)
[17:13] <mikebot> bazhang: sorry?
[17:13] <daniel__> Rice with Ketchup  <3 Yummy
[17:13] <bazhang> !ot | daniel__
[17:13] <roberto> joan, yes that isn't good. When do you have to print the first page from windows? After each reboot? After every printer restart?
[17:14] <joan> or perhaps is the ubuntu team to blame? that is, why don't they wait to have something that really works and is fully tested in a LTS distro?
[17:14] <joan> roberto, after each reboot
[17:14] <joan> then it works in linux every time, until next reboot...
[17:15] <roberto> joan, could you try visiting http://localhost:631/ after a reboot?
[17:15] <mikebot> Hi, is it possible to create a bootable usb drive (for windows) on a mac computer?
[17:15] <roberto> That's directly into the CUPS interface
[17:15] <bazhang> mikebot, this is ubuntu support
[17:15] <roberto> Maybe you could get some hints.
[17:15] <mikebot> bazhang: Yes, I want to create a ubuntu bootable usb
[17:15] <mikebot> bazhang: that will work on my pc.  but i can only create it on a mac
[17:16] <bazhang> mikebot, you state (for windows)
[17:16] <mikebot> bazhang: pc, sorry
[17:16] <joan> I've checked all the logs, roberto, and the problem is that when you print in linux (without the W$ trick) you get some errors like the one I posted before
[17:16] <bazhang> mikebot, perhaps unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[17:17] <johnsky> I have an irritating issue with HDMI. It flashes black every time audio is combined.
[17:17] <johnsky> Every time audio starts (whether it's a system sound or music, or anything) it seems the HDMI output has to be re-combined and re-syncd.
[17:17] <bazhang> mikebot, pendrivelinux.com is another area to investigate
[17:17] <joan> there are some people having issues like mine, nearly identical, with cups 1.5.3, the first ones a t least from April or May!!!
[17:17] <mikebot> bazhang: Thanks

[17:18] <roberto> now, joan is your printer a Samsung ML? Using generic drivers, or manufacturer's?
[17:20] <johnsky> I've stated my issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2062709 regarding the HDMI audio recombining and resyncing issue.
[17:20] <joan> roberto, is a HP LaserJet 1018, which uses driver foo2zjs
[17:21] <joan> roberto, I get the error posted above and also this one:  Failed to update TXT record for PRINTER_NAME
[17:22] <bobweaver> bazhang, Thanks again for the tip on the video-caster. works alright won't pull in audio and cuts the screen cast in half but it kinda works.
[17:23] <joan> roberto, it seems these issues affect several printer brands: HP, Samsung, Canon, Brother
[17:23] <joan> roberto, for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2054048
[17:24] <caydeesoft> hey
[17:25] <bizhanMona> HI all, according to this URL: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035445.html  Ubuntu is planning to not to use GRUB 2 for UEFI secure boot. Is this still standing? Thx
[17:25] <roberto> joan, hmm TXT record usually has something to do with DNS.
[17:25] <Kapsas> Has anyone had problems with SATA HDD detection by linux? Here is the details of problem I have  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2061930 now also added what gives the LSHW, and modprobe sata_nv
[17:26] <roberto> are you using DNS or BIND for name resolution? (have a look in /etc/resolv.cof)
[17:26] <roberto> if it doesn't say something about "bind" that might be part of the problem
[17:29] <joan> thanx, roberto, but I'm actually on another box. The affected systems are the ones my wife uses at her job, (which BTW makes this bug even nastier, because there they really NEED printing)
[17:30] <Kapsas> Has anyone had problems with SATA HDD detection by linux? Here is the details of problem I have  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2061930 now also added what gives the LSHW, and modprobe sata_nv
[17:31] <joan> roberto, anyway, how can I learn more about that? an ordinary resolv.conf uses to contain nameserver n.n.n.n  lines, doesn't it?
[17:32] <roberto> joan, forgot to ask: is this a network printer or USB?
[17:32] <rp2> look in /etc/nsswitch.conf too
[17:33] <joan> roberto, USB
[17:33] <roberto> joan, OK. did you see http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1018 and downloaded the firmware to the printer after each printer restart
[17:34] <joan> no, roberto, let's have a look. thanx
[17:34] <roberto> joan could be you need superduperuser rights to do that
[17:35] <roberto> that firmware download looks very much like a "win"modem issue... Hardware with no default brains.
[17:35] <joan> yeah, this is what I told my wife
[17:36] <joan> they keep buying crappish hardware which is always making trouble
[17:37] <joan> but she works in a non-profit organization and they always have a very short budget
[17:37] <roberto> Yep. It's a shame there aren't many stores selling only 100% compliant gear, like Apple tries to do.
[17:37] <roberto> But the spirit of linux guys generally is "lets show the guys it can be done anyway"
[17:39] <joan> yeah, roberto. that's one of the things I like most about this
[17:39] <roberto> if that firmware download works, you could write a script containing the firmware loading command. Then you install udev and set up a rule for your printer that will run that script upon printer connect. see http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-printer
[17:40] <joan> BTW, shame on me for not having checked the openprinting website. This is the first thing I should have done...
[17:40] <roberto> I've used that with my VERY old viceo scanner (no drivers beyond win98 available)...
[17:40] <BluesKaj> oh no not another "gear" aficionado ...used to have put up with "gear" in the audio chats , not here too :)
[17:40] <roberto> BluesKaj, I'll use "stuff" then
[17:40] <roberto> or HW ;)?
[17:41] <BluesKaj> roberto, ..use it if youwant ..was kidding of course
[17:42] <johnsky> I've stated my issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2062709 regarding the HDMI audio recombining and resyncing issue.
[17:43] <johnsky> If anyone has experience with HDMI audio issues causing re-sync
[17:44] <johnsky> or even if you remember hearing something once...
[17:46] <BluesKaj> johnsky, I don't use "sounds" on my pc but I do loop the hdmi audio back from the tv to the audio receiver digital input , however i haven't encountered any sync issues ...probly doesn't answer your question tho
[17:47] <TJ-> bizhanMona: Ubuntu will be using GRUB2 with Secure-Boot.
[17:47] <johnsky> Thats cool, thanks anyways Blues, you never know when someone will accidentally remember something useful.
[17:48] <OHIK> hello
[17:48] <johnsky> Ultimately I'm thinking that if I keep the audio output active by playing a never ending loop of dead air at startup, this might solve the issue. But what would be the least intrusive and most efficient way to do this?
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> is it possible to xkill a program automatic when it freezes?
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> !xkill > lotuspsychje
[17:49] <johnsky> Don't kill yourself over it.
[17:49] <msmith0957> I have a problem with my touch pad.. it randomly stops working, and only way I can fix it is to restart, any idea ?
[17:50] <johnsky> I don't know about that, but in the mean time, try logging out and back in rather than rebooting,.
[17:50] <johnsky> It will save you time
[17:53] <msmith0957> ok, so, a log out does not return my touchpad to normal, reboot is the only thing that fixes it

[18:18] <bekks> lotuspsychje: Nope :)
[18:19] <fachex> lotuspsychje, I am afraid of something like that or the raid might be failing
[18:19] <bekks> Even without rkhunter you will see the space used.
[18:19] <awestroke> I know this is NOT the correct channel to ask this question, but I accidentally removed the windows restore partition on my netbook, and now I want to restore it to sell it. What should I do? I still got a valid cdkey
[18:19] <bekks> fachex: A failing RAID will not use more space.
[18:19] <awestroke> I just installed ubuntu over everything
[18:19] <lotuspsychje> bekks:even its hidden dirs?
[18:19] <bekks> lotuspsychje: Sure.
[18:19] <ThinkT510> awestroke: /join ##windows
[18:19] <bekks> ls -lha show you all hidden dirs.

[18:34] <fachex> llutz, I did not kill anything or anybody :)
[18:34] <fachex> but I will..
[18:35] <fachex> TJ- did you find out anything?
