[00:00] <thiebaude> Carlos: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:01] <Carlos> Thiebaude it says Unmet dependencies try using -f
[00:02] <thiebaude> Carlos: not not sure how to use the -f command
[00:03] <szal> thiebaude: sudo apt-get -f install <- with no further arguments - CAUTION: may bust your pkg database and/or installation
[00:04] <szal> (kinda like the disclaimer you read everywhere.. not very likely, but possible)
[00:04] <thiebaude> szal: ok thanks , carlos was asking :)
[00:05] <aleminio> Hey guys, i am kinda new to ubuntu and linux and got a question. if i am creating a folder as one user and trying to upload files into it using ftp while connected with another user, it won't let me, even when i am changing the permission to 777. I have to change the user and the owner as well to match the one i'm uploading with. so why do i need permissions for "ALL" if i can't do anythhing
[00:05] <aleminio> anyway if my doesn't match the group?
[00:05] <szal> Carlos: prolly you just forgot to update your pkg database -> try 'sudo apt-get update' first
[00:05] <thiebaude> szal: but its something i will keep in mind, thanks
[00:06] <WHAT_UP> not ubuntu specific, but is there a way to simulate holding down of a key for n milliseconds using xvkbd or something of the sort?
[00:06] <thiebaude> Carlos: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:06] <szal> thiebaude: why dist-upgrade?
[00:07] <thiebaude> szal: to upgrade all packages that need it
[00:08] <thiebaude> szal: i remember doing that when i was offered a partial upgrade
[00:08] <jeeves_moss> how can I install a cisco AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 PCMCIA card?  it won't show up when I run lspci
[00:08] <HelloWorld321> Where is the Include directory, library directory, and base directory for MySQL ?
[00:08] <ngunik> hello I want to rearrange a specific page in a pdf with pdftk. Any examples ?
[00:09] <ngunik> What I already found on the net did not helped me
[00:09] <Carlos> It keeps saying the same message. I did both commands
[00:09] <blackshirt> helloworld321, include was on standar directory i think
[00:09] <HelloWorld321> Hi ngunik: I did that once, a while ago, programmatically, using a library from Apache.  I think it was called jempbox
[00:10] <ngunik> @HelloWorld321 I am gonna check it out
[00:10] <ngunik> thanks
[00:12] <szal> jeeves_moss: if lspci doesn't show it, then it's either toast or completely unsupported
[00:12] <jeeves_moss> szal, I know the card works (windows sees it)
[00:13] <szal> jeeves_moss: or just wrong PCI slot (try another)
[00:13] <jeeves_moss> szal, only one PCMCIA slot in this laptop
[00:14] <szal> ah, PCMCIA..
[00:17] <jeeves_moss> szal, ok, I've tested the slot, and it works, so, now, how do I get the card to work?
[00:18] <subcool> ?
[00:23] <Carlos> if neither sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade work are there any other commands that might work?
[00:23] <hilo> is there any reason not to delete the "lost+found" directory at the root of and ext4 filesystem
[00:25] <Blue1> hilo: i guess the question is why do you want to do this?
[00:26] <IdleOne> Carlos: what error are you getting?
[00:26] <Carlos> he following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:26] <Carlos> linux-image-generic-pae: Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic-pae but it is not installed
[00:27] <IdleOne> so install it
[00:27] <Carlos> when I try to do sudo-apt-get upgrade it says E: unmet dependencies. Try -F.
[00:27] <IdleOne> Carlos: sudo apt-get -f install
[00:28] <hilo> Blue1: I am mirroring another machine as a backup with rsync and the dry run showed that it will delete the "lost+found" directory since it doesn't exist at the source
[00:28] <Carlos> IdleOne Thanks
[00:28] <hilo> Blue1: Wondering if there are any negative implications or if I should create it on the source as well
[00:28] <Sparky1> cannot use internet. reason - cannot install ndiswrapper >.< I am clueless, and so far the google search has not helped >.<
[00:29] <jeeves_moss> what does this mean?  http://pastebin.com/UC4Gizpz
[00:31] <Blue1> hilo: it should be automagically created if it ever finds a file during a filecheck.  It's sort of a last ditch effort by the filesystem to preserve your files.  it need not be created.
[00:32] <hilo> Blue1: cool thanks!
[00:32] <aLeSD|> hi all
[00:32] <Blue1> hilo: it's like trash -- once you empty the trash it's gone - but once you delete something - it re-appears.
[00:32] <aLeSD|> is there a dbus app that manage volume control and multimedia playing ?
[00:33] <Blue1> aLeSD|: there is a volume control applet - just right click on the taskbar in any unused portion, add to panel, then volume control.
[00:34] <Sparky1> can someone help me get ndiswrapper working?
[00:34] <aLeSD|> ok
[00:35] <Sparky1> sorry about asking again rather quickly, but i realised my first thing was only stating a problem, not asking what needs to be done to fix it
[00:40] <trism> Sparky1: are you using 12.04?
[00:40] <Sparky1> yes
[00:40] <ngunik> @HelloWorld321 I cant install pdfbox
[00:41] <Sparky1> im resorting to ndiswrapper, because im trying to get my asus WL 138g wireless card working with ubuntu
[00:42] <daryo> hola
[00:42] <trism> Sparky1: the ndiswrapper kernel module is not included by default anymore, you will need to download ndiswrapper-dkms from packages.ubuntu.com from another pc (and perhaps dkms and the two linux-headers package, although those may be on the iso)
[00:43] <Sparky1> i have the headers files... i found them in the /usr/src directory
[00:43] <trism> Sparky1: although that appears to be a broadcom card, you may just need to fetch the firmware
[00:44] <Sparky1> the disk i have for it... i can't use, because ubuntu doesnt use exe files like that..
[00:44] <Sparky1> the disk for the wireless card, that is
[00:45] <trism> Sparky1: did you look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ?
[00:45] <trism> Sparky1: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAsus you may just need the firmware from there
[00:46] <Sparky1> yeah, but my card is the v1 version of this http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/WL138g_V2/#specifications
[00:47] <trism> Sparky1: ahh, I'm not sure then
[00:48] <Sparky1> i beat one hurdle, and another appears... *rolls eyes* only recently managed to get ubuntu, then the mouse and keyboard, working.
[00:49] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i'm running ubuntu 12 with gnome 2 layout......in debian, you can list all the opened windows from the top right corner and shows you which workspace it's located in; is there anything similar for ubuntu?
[00:50] <Sparky1> in the menu on the left, you can get it to show all workspaces at once..  but for listing... i havent run into it yet..
[00:53] <jardineworks> Please ... someone help me with my insanity :). I have an old computer running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (x86). It's in my basement, hard wired and configured to a static ip.

[00:55] <OerHeks> coolroot you asked this before: there is NO fix! you need sudo to do apt-get.
[00:57] <OerHeks> drsteinberg, just ask
[00:57] <drsteinberg> ok
[00:58] <drsteinberg> well, i have the xorg drivers all updated and running on a radeon r580 x1900. i got the game up in playonlinux, but it just says 'graphics card missing required features'
[00:59] <babygotaface> coolroot, you may run "sudo su - " at first and then run 'apt-get update' it will work
[00:59] <drsteinberg> all the fixes on d3 forums havent helped, so i'm betting its linux... currently trying to test the card using steps on a site as i speak
[00:59] <OerHeks> drsteinberg, start the game with less features?
[01:00] <drsteinberg> can't adjust any features from the menus i am given
[01:00] <coolroot> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1082074 <---why did i get this IP's when i'm doing apt-get update? who to get rid of it?
[01:01] <OerHeks> coolroot, whois will tell you it is the update server.
[01:02] <jardineworks> *bump* anyone on SSH connection help?
[01:02] <Onixs> whats with the ssh issue
[01:02] <coolroot> ?
[01:03] <goddard> jardineworks: whats your issue?
[01:03] <jardineworks> goddard, I am able to ssh from to my server on wifi, but wired I get connection refused.
[01:03] <jardineworks> my ssh server has a static ip, and ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, and is hard wired
[01:04] <goddard> jardineworks: well we know it isn't a connection issue if you can connect over wifi
[01:04] <goddard> does your ethernet work at all?
[01:04] <jardineworks> goddard, fair enough -- do you know if there is something OOTB that blocks 22 on eth0?
[01:05] <jardineworks> goddard, it does
[01:05] <goddard> and the ethernet port we are talking about is your home computer your using to connect to your office server?
[01:05] <jardineworks> goddard, I use it on my desktop and everything works, but ssh to my server gives me connection refused. If I unplug it... everything still works (switches to wlan0) and ssh works to my server
[01:06] <goddard> jardineworks: when you try and connect use the -vvv
[01:06] <goddard> that shows more information to help debug
[01:06] <jardineworks> ssh -vvv username@location?
[01:06] <goddard> ya

[01:14] <JoseeAntonioR> guys: I've got two audio outputs on my laptop, is there any way to manage each one individually?
[01:14] <Griffrez> JoseeAntonioR: I think the System Settings -> Sound gives you what you want.

[01:15] <kiamo2> is this something to be worried about?
[01:15] <Ctm54> anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot ethernet connectivity?
[01:16] <Ctm54> i'm new to ubuntu
[01:16] <Ctm54> and this is my first computer build
[01:16] <JoseeAntonioR> Griffrez: it does give me the option. It recognizes the headphones output and the Digital (S/PDIF) output, but I can only manage sound through the headphones output
[01:16] <Onixs> !ask
[01:16] <Griffrez> JoseeAntonioR: I don't know, then.
[01:16] <Ctm54> The short version is I can't connect to the internet via ethernet cable.  The cable is plugged in to the ethernet port on my motherboard. When I tell Ubuntu to connect automatically with DHCP, it spins for a while and then fails to connect. When I give it a manual address (and set up the appropriate routing instructions on my router) it says it's connected, but I cannot access the internet or even ping the router.  Since this is my fir
[01:17] <Ctm54> ng out out that it's a hardware or driver issue, but it seems unlikely since the OS clearly recognizes that there is an ethernet port.  Here's what I'm working with:      -ASROCK N68C-GS FX Motherboard (connecting the router directly to the ethernet port on the motherboard)     -Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS     -Asus RT-N12 router

[01:18] <jardineworks> goddard, sorry... did you get my last note?
[01:18] <kiamo2> thanks SkippersBoss
[01:19] <Griffrez> Why is compiz using 80% of my CPU?
[01:20] <kiamo2> great, sorted :)  Thanks again SkippersBoss

[01:21] <drsteinberg> ok, working on my graphics card testing, the instructions tell me to run cat /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[01:21] <drsteinberg> i dont have Xorg.conf file
[01:21] <Ctm54> why can't i get online via ethernet with 11.10? (this is my first computer build and my first foray into Ubuntu)
[01:22] <drsteinberg> so I can't run a test in the terminal to see if my card has the proper driver
[01:23] <Roasted> Is anybody else having random Chrome lockups for ~30 seconds at a time with the recent update?
[01:25] <Ctm54> i've run this by several people who know ubuntu well and it's stumped all of them
[01:28] <goddard> jardineworks: what?
[01:29] <goddard> Ctm54: does the ethernet card work?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Why are you using Ubuntu 11.10 rather than 12.04? Can you pastebin the output of "ifconfig"? (using a flash drive if needed).
[01:30] <jardineworks> goddard, I ran the command you suggested ... I mean adding the -vvv switch.
[01:30] <jardineworks> goddard, this is what I got --

[01:30] <Roasted> goddard, yeah thanks, doesn't solve chrome though
[01:30] <Ctm54> Jordan_U: give me a sec
[01:31] <goddard> Roasted: ive been hearing a lot of reports of chrome issues lately.. i would just use another browser until it is fixed or try reinstalling and purging
[01:31] <Roasted> goddard, k, I was just curious if other users were seeing it or if it was just me. I'm happy to use firefox.
[01:31] <goddard> jardineworks: and what is the output if you connect over wifi?
[01:32] <jardineworks> goddard, huge... one sec, I'll pastebin
[01:32] <Griffrez_> Ops
[01:32] <jardineworks> goddard, http://pastebin.com/ibteVrc7
[01:33] <Griffrez_> What was the code I had to put so it runs on Terminal, again?
[01:33] <goddard> jardineworks: do you have another user account on the machine you can try and login?
[01:33] <Ctm54> http://pastebin.com/sCjaJw0Y
[01:33] <Babygirl> i keep gettin anr error using mp3tagtool
[01:33] <jardineworks> goddard, nope I'm also not using user specific settings, just global
[01:34] <Babygirl> filename does not match expected format
[01:34] <chu> Griffrez_: You want the bash she-bang again?
[01:35] <Griffrez_> Yeah
[01:35] <chu> Griffrez_: #!/bin/bash
[01:35] <Griffrez_> Sorry. I closed IRC. :|
[01:35] <Griffrez_> Thanks
[01:35] <Griffrez_> So, I just have to put that as the first line
[01:35] <Griffrez_> Then under that, type the code, right?
[01:35] <Jordan_U> Babygirl: What is the exact command you're running?
[01:36] <Babygirl> im using a GUI
[01:36] <chu> Yeah, but you also know you need to change the bit flag (err, I may have the wrong terminology here) to executable, right?
[01:36] <chu> Griffrez_: That message was for you.
[01:36] <Babygirl> downloaded from software center
[01:36] <Griffrez_> Oh
[01:36] <Griffrez_> Yeah
 http://pastebin.com/sCjaJw0Y
[01:36] <Griffrez_> chu: The file's properties?
[01:37] <Griffrez_> chu: I've done that. Thanks for the help. :)
[01:37] <Ctm54> goddard I think the ethernet card works...it shows up under ifconfig if that means anything
[01:37] <Griffrez_> chu: Ah. Minecraft on 100FPS. I think I never did that on Windows. xD
[01:37] <goddard> jardineworks: i had a similar error like this before and it gives very little information to go off of
[01:38] <chu> Griffrez_: To change it to executable, you run "chmod +x <file-name>" but it's probably possible through the file properties dialog, so I will assume you know what you're doing :)
[01:38] <Griffrez_> chu: Yeah. It's working fine. :)
[01:38] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Does the same configuration work in another OS? (Also, you still haven't answered why you're using Ubuntu 11.10 rather than 12.04).
[01:38] <Griffrez_> chu Thanks, though. :D
[01:38] <jardineworks> goddard, do you recall what your issue was?
[01:39] <jardineworks> goddard, meaning how you fixed it
[01:39] <goddard> jardineworks: Ctm54 you got 2 errors look at your logs and try and find what it is
[01:40] <goddard> jardineworks: honestly I tried a lot of different things just starting from the connections and firewall and even ports and ssh keys
[01:40] <Ctm54> Jordan_U: i haven't tried it on another OS ubuntu is the only OS installed on this machine, and I tried before on 12.04 with the same problem and had the stupid idea that going back one version might improve things somehow...like i said, first computer build, first foray into ubuntu, i still have a 12.04 installer if that will make the difference
[01:40] <Ctm54> goddard: how do i look at my logs?
[01:40] <goddard> Ctm54: is it a desktop? log viewer if not var/logs/
[01:41] <Babygirl> Jordan_U, i fix it,,,,i jjust remove the <track. from the line that says FileName Format
[01:41] <Ctm54> goddard yeah its a DT, opened up log viewer now what?
[01:41] <jardineworks> goddard, guess that last one was for Ctm54, not me :)
 <filename>  Jordan_U  thanks for wanting to help me
[01:42] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: It probably won't make a difference, but once things are working you'll want to be using the latest release of Ubuntu, which also happens to be a release with long term support.
[01:42] <Jordan_U> Babygirl: You're welcome. I'm glad you figured it out.
[01:42] <Ctm54> Jordan_U okay noted...i can upgrade once i sort everything out right?
[01:42] <goddard> jardineworks: a fresh install and purging old openssh settings may help and could prove the quickest path if it doesn't i would look into the user account just to rule it out then look at the firewall
[01:43] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Yes, but I would recommend saving time and simply installing 12.04 instead.
[01:43] <jardineworks> goddard, do you know the firewall commands offhand? (save me a google?)
[01:44] <goddard> jardineworks: you can easily flush the iptables
[01:44] <goddard> jardineworks: http://pastebin.com/mdSs1i06
[01:45] <jardineworks> goddard, my iptables -L just lists the defactor INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT lines...
[01:45] <Ctm54> goddard: found the logs folder, what log should i be looking at?
[01:46] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Since ethernet in GNU/Linux is very reliable, and almost always Just Works™, my first guess is that your network / cable is simply not connected / configured properly (i.e. it's not a problem on Ubuntu's side of things, nor something that you can fix by changing Ubuntu's configuration).
[01:46] <goddard> jardineworks: then it probably isn't the firewall
[01:47] <Ctm54> Jordan_U the ethernet cable is definitely plugged in
[01:47] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: What type of ethernet cable are you using to connect to your computer, and what is the other end of the cable connected to?
[01:47] <jardineworks> goddard, and it can't be the user or the install because I can get to it using wifi! :S
[01:47] <goddard> jardineworks: haha maybe the router?
[01:48] <jardineworks> goddard, I used the same router for both wifi and hard wired :S
[01:48] <goddard> jardineworks: i can block specific ips from having access to certain ports on my router
[01:48] <Ctm54> Jordan_U I think it's a Cat 5e that up until a few days ago was running from my router to a mac mini and working fine, now its running from my router (Asus RT-n12) to the ethernet port on my motherboard
[01:49] <devilcode1> Hi all
[01:49] <devilcode1> anyone one could use a little help
[01:49] <jardineworks> goddard, checking... but I think I just left it defacto OOTB.
[01:49] <goddard> jardineworks: better to just rule everything out
[01:50] <ki4ro> devilcode1: ask your question
[01:50] <devilcode1> i just came back to my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS crashed. It has been logging me out randomly recently also. Where should i look for clues. A post suggest it was Xorg but i have no idea.
[01:51] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Crossover or straighthrough? Apple hardware had automatically switching ports before a lot of other PCs and routers got them, so a crossover cable might have worked with the mac mini while not working with the current PC (for connecting a computer to a router/switch you generally want straighthrough).
[01:51] <Ctm54> Jordan_U good question, would it say it on the cable?
[01:51] <goddard> devilcode1: i would look at the specific date of the log out in the logs and see what happened
[01:52] <jardineworks> goddard, nadda. defacto OOTB
[01:52] <devilcode1> which logs ?
[01:52] <devilcode1> when it happens again
[01:52] <goddard> jardineworks: short of reinstalling openssh or a new server version all together i don't know post it on ask ubuntu with the -vvv information
[01:53] <goddard> jardineworks: some one smarter then me will figure it out im sure
[01:53] <jardineworks> goddard, Appreciate you trying to help. I am wondering if maybe something on my desktop is blocking.
[01:53] <goddard> devilcode1: your system usually keeps logs so you can use your "Log Viewer" to see xorg operation
[01:54] <devilcode1> out of interest i belive it is either google chrome or netbeans that's causing the logout
[01:54] <goddard> devilcode1: uninstall them and see if it happens again
[01:54] <goddard> devilcode1: but i would look at the logs first
[01:55] <goddard> jardineworks: ya could be .. rule everything out you can and post your results
[01:56] <devilcode1> thanks goddard
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: No, I'm looking for a good guide explaining how to tell the difference but you'll need to look at the colors of the pins at both ends of the cable.
[02:00] <subcool> OerHeks, none of them worked out- thanks :/
[02:02] <SuperMiguel> any of you guys running ubuntu on an 27 "iMac 2011??
[02:02] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Look at the diagrams at the right on this page (the ones actually showing the plug are the easiest to use for when you yourself have to look at the ends of the plug): http://www.cablesplususa.com/rj45-utp-guide.php with a straight through cable the colors of the pins are in the same order at both ends of the cable.
[02:02] <devilcode1> aggh my ttyUSB0 has disappeared after the crash
[02:02] <devilcode1> its back ..phew
[02:03] <devilcode1> anyone know how to make a /dev/  accessable  to any use privilage wise ?
[02:03] <c4pt-otc> can someone help me setup Adhoc with ubuntu 10.10 ?
[02:04] <IdleOne> !10.10
[02:04] <IdleOne> c4pt-otc: 10.10 is no longer support. I suggest you upgrade.
[02:04] <Jordan_U> devilcode1: That's a terrible idea. What is your actual end goal?
[02:04] <Ctm54> Jordan_U the cable i'm using is a straight-through
[02:05] <Jordan_U> Ctm54: Ok. Are you seeing green lights on both ports (the computer and the router)?
[02:05] <Balask> Hello I'm having trouble with DRIconf.  Does anyone know much about that?
[02:05] <devilcode1> well im writing some software to connect to ttyUSB0 (virtual com port)
[02:05] <devilcode1> but seems it needs root privilages
[02:06] <Balask> It tells me "Could not detect any configurable direct-rendering capable devices. DRIconf will be started in expert mode."
[02:06] <Balask> fglrxinfo tells me: "display: :0  screen: 0
[02:06] <Balask> OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[02:06] <Balask> OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
[02:06] <Balask> OpenGL version string: 3.3.11627 Compatibility Profile Context"
[02:06] <FloodBot1> Balask: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:07] <Ctm54> Jordan_U my router doesn't have lights on the actual ethernet ports but the LAN LED for that port is blinking; on my machine i've got blinking red only
[02:08] <devilcode1> so whats the correct way to interface with  /dev/ttyUSB0
[02:09] <devilcode1> ah can i not join the group
[02:09] <Balask> I hear you devilcode1 but I don't have an answer
[02:14] <vychune> hello
[02:15] <vychune> i need help with my log files
[02:15] <vychune> they are super big and i would like to know how to remove them safely
[02:16] <PlowRox> just delete them
[02:16] <dj_segfault> vychune: Which logfiles?
[02:16] <Ctm54> Jordan_U goddard - additional weirdness, when i look at my routers logs, I see that it gave a DHCP lease to the mac address of my linux box for 4 seconds and then the lease expired
[02:17] <dj_segfault> vychune: Most log files should be rotated and the oldest removed using logrotate
[02:18] <vychune> logrotate isnt doing its job
[02:19] <vychune> i see plenty of .gz files in here too
[02:20] <escott> vychune, you wouldn't have the gz is logrotate wasn't running
[02:20] <devilcode1> yeah u can change the permission on /dev/ttyUSB0
[02:20] <devilcode1> think its not the recommend way though
[02:20] <devilcode1> add user to goup anywys
[02:21] <escott> vychune, if you just want to keep fewer logs modify the "rotate #" lines of in /etc/logrotate.*
[02:21] <vychune> ok then
[02:21] <devilcode1> goodnight all ... 03:25 here
[02:22] <vychune> what about the logs there now delete them?
[02:22] <iepa> good night
[02:22] <iepa> 4.22 here
[02:22] <iepa> xD
[02:22] <vychune> 9:22 here
[02:22] <iepa> of morning?
[02:22] <iepa> ufff
[02:22] <iepa> xD
[02:23] <iepa> just start day
[02:23] <vychune> iepa: no night
[02:24] <Jihui_Choi> in LAMP, 12.04, when I type <IP_ADDRESS>/sub, apache can't recognize index.php, but index.html works well. How can I fix this?
[02:25] <iepa> Jihui_Choi, you have to activate php shell on apache
[02:25] <vychune> ^
[02:26] <Jihui_Choi> iepa, php works fine, if I type localhost/sub/index.php, it works. but localhost/sub doesn't
[02:26] <escott> vychune, delete whatever you want. worst case the logs are lost until the daemon gets signalled from the next rotate cycle
[02:26] <iepa> change index.html filename
[02:26] <vychune> escott: YAYYYYYY
[02:27] <vychune> Jihui_Choi: your html file is all apache sees when you dont specify a filename
[02:27] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: for me html has presidence over php so if your index.html is present it in that dir it will run that one
[02:27] <vychune> ^
[02:28] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: so I change directoryindex on httpd.conf, like this directoryindex index.php index.html .... but no change
[02:29] <Jihui_Choi> even I remove index.html from directoryindex, only index.html works
[02:29] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: you shouldn't have to change anything other than be sure that index.html isn't present
[02:31] <Ctm54> anybody else have any more ideas for what's wrong with my ethernet?
[02:31] <Jihui_Choi> I installed redmine and ruby 1.9.1... I think after installing redmine, this problem occurred.
[02:32] <vychune> Ctm54: what's going on with it?
[02:33] <Ctm54> vychune it won't connect to the internet, even though it shows up when i run ifconfig, can't even ping the router, doesn't seem like it's getting an IPV4 address
[02:33] <battlehands> I need to format my harddrive to NTFS.  It is currently ext4.  I have ubuntu running and I cannot unmount the drive (seem to remember that I need to do this in order to format).  I have gparted open.  Please advise.
[02:33] <escott> Ctm54, what is your routing table
[02:34] <escott> battlehands, boot a livecd
[02:34] <Ctm54> escott i'm brand new to ubuntu, sorry for a stupid question but how do i pull that up?
[02:34] <Jihui_Choi> iepa , sacarlson, see this one. http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup/ doesn't work. but http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup/index.php works.
[02:34] <escott> Ctm54, "route" in a terminal
[02:34] <battlehands> escott, boot from a livecd, unmount, format, then run my new install after restart?
[02:35] <escott> battlehands, yes
[02:35] <vychune> battlehands: if you format your new install will be gone
[02:35] <Ctm54> escott "Destination      Gateway        Genmask          Flags Metric Ref           Use Iface
[02:35] <escott> !paste | Ctm54
[02:35] <escott> !pastebinit | Ctm54
[02:36] <Ctm54> escott ubottu yeah my ubuntu machine isn't connected to the interwebs at all, typing to you from my macbook, gimme a second and i'll pastebin it with a flash drive
[02:37] <escott> Ctm54, yes. sorry that would make things more difficult :)
[02:37] <vychune> lol
[02:37] <Jihui_Choi> anyone knows about this problems? http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup/ doesn't work, but http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup/index.php is ok.
[02:38] <mish_> Has anyone managed to get Ubuntu installed on a Dell R820 ?
[02:38] <mish_> Ubuntu/Precise.
[02:38] <vychune> Jihui_Choi: give me one sec
[02:38] <Jihui_Choi> vychune: sure. thanks :)
[02:38] <Ctm54> escott ubottu aaaaaaaaaaaand my box just froze...gimme a minute
[02:39] <escott> Ctm54, are freezes common?
[02:39] <Ctm54> no, but what is common is my machine not powering down correctly
[02:39] <Ctm54> and i have to do a hard restart
[02:39] <vychune> Jihui_Choi: do you see the source code when you do the one that doesnt work?
[02:41] <Jihui_Choi> vychune: no. it said just "Page not found" funny thing is if I make index.html,  http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup/ opens index.html
[02:41] <xanfer> chin ho ?
[02:41] <vychune> rename index.html to in.html for me then try again
[02:42] <Ctm54> escott obottu http://pastebin.com/C7peexH0
[02:42] <xanfer> ho me tu
[02:42] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: did you modify this file? /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf
[02:43] <xanfer> ?
[02:43] <Jihui_Choi> vychune: only index.html works. no index.htm, no in.html, not even file list..
[02:43] <vychune> wtf?
[02:43] <Jihui_Choi> yes! exactly wtf
[02:43] <Jihui_Choi> lol
[02:43] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: in default it should search in the sequence seen in the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf
[02:43] <Jihui_Choi> you know what?  http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080 works very well
[02:44] <vychune> wth?
[02:44] <Jihui_Choi>  http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/ is for redmine.. and I believe redmine made this problem
[02:44] <escott> Ctm54, and what happens when you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:44] <vychune> check out the file sacarlson is talking about
[02:44] <escott> Ctm54, everything is lost?
[02:44] <Ctm54> escott destination host unreachable
[02:44] <vychune> escott: you thinking that might not be the right gateway too?
[02:45] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: I know that, so I changed that file. actually directoryindex setting, though.
[02:45] <Jihui_Choi> it doesn't affect anything
[02:45] <subcool> can someone walk with me through some disk managment/understanding?
[02:45] <subcool> it should be quite easy
[02:45] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: well you shouldn't have needed to change it so that must be why it broken
[02:45] <escott> vychune, doesn't matter if its the right gateway or not. its on the subnet if its there it should respond
[02:45] <Jihui_Choi> even I deleted all of directoryindex... index.html works, but not else..
[02:45] <Ctm54> escott 100% packet loss
[02:46] <xanfer> ?
[02:46] <xanfer> ?
[02:46] <escott> Ctm54, given that your routing table looks fine the only thing i can imagine is that your network is statically configured to the 192.168.1.* subnet, but you are connected to something that is not a 192.168.1.* subnet
[02:46] <Ctm54> okay so how do i fix that?
[02:47] <Ctm54> escott see above
[02:47] <vychune> subcool: whats up?
[02:47] <subcool> vychune, hey, i have dev/sda1-5 i can only navigate one of them?
[02:48] <escott> Ctm54, "cat /etc/networks" it should only mention link-local and then "cat /etc/network/interfaces" it should only mention auto lo and iface lo
[02:48] <subcool> vychune, id like to find out why sda2 is labeled var and has NOTHING on it, i want access to sda1, and from there, maybe kill sda2, and combine it with unallocated space.
[02:48] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson, vychune : I remove directoryindex from /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf.. but http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/icoup still opens index.html, but no index.php
[02:49] <Jihui_Choi> this means /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf doesn't work correctly
[02:49] <subcool> vychune, thing is- while i open dolphin, i only have access to... THIS paritition. :/
[02:49] <Katronix> on a ubuntu server, do you need to tell it what IPs it has access to anywhere?
[02:49] <Ctm54> escott gonna pastebin results to you in a sec
[02:50] <escott> Ctm54, no need to copy and paste those. it should only be a couple lines for each. if its more than that then its wrong
[02:50] <ui> subcool: try with sudo
[02:50] <ui> subcool: sudo gparted
[02:50] <Ctm54> escott the second one was wrong
[02:50] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: what method of install did you use to install LAMP in ubuntu?  give us the link you used as reference
[02:50] <Katronix> for instance if your server has 5 IPs do you need to inform it of that?
[02:50] <vychune> subcool: can you see anything from CLI
[02:51] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: basically, I installed 12.04 server and I installed lamp when I installed OS.
[02:51] <Ctm54> escott truth in advertising: i had modified stuff earlier on advice from someone else about how to fix this
[02:51] <Jihui_Choi> after that I installed redmine..
[02:52] <Jihui_Choi> followed this page http://www.xunilarium.com/2012/05/how-to-install-redmine-201-on-ubuntu.html
[02:52] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: there is no package lamp  what did you install?
[02:52] <escott> Ctm54, they probably had you add various lines concerning eth0 to interfaces
[02:52] <escott> Ctm54, I would take those out and focus on getting network manager to work, but its up to you. the problem is i don't know what the correct subnet is
[02:53] <Ctm54> escott, yup, and i'm pretty sure i understand what all those lines mean but obviously that wasn't working
[02:53] <escott> Ctm54, on your mac you could run ifconfig and route and see if 192.168.1.* is correct
[02:53] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: no. basic lamp works well without extra packages
[02:54] <Jihui_Choi> and I think apache recognized index.php before installing redmine.. I'm not sure though.
[02:54] <Ctm54> escott no i know for a fact that my MBP has the IP address <IP_ADDRESS> so i think that's the right subnet
[02:55] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: I don't see the package lamp-server in my synaptic on ubuntu 10.04  and I'm not sure what this package does  libapache2-mod-passenger
[02:56] <escott> Ctm54, yeah sounds alright
[02:56] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: it doesn't, but I installed libapache2-mod-passenger when I install redmine..
[02:56] <arashb> hey guys, i'm livebooted into ubuntu right now, can someone help me with installing .scripts into my system?
[02:57] <Jihui_Choi> apt-get install ruby-full libmysqlclient-dev libmagickwand-dev libapache2-mod-passenger
[02:57] <Ctm54> gonna take out the eth0 from the interfaces, escott, gimme a sec
[02:57] <escott> Ctm54, and that cable works for the mac as well
[02:57] <zykotick9> sacarlson: fyi lamp-server is a tasksel "task" instead of a package
[02:57] <sacarlson> zykotick9: ok thanks
[02:57] <Ctm54> escott it had been working for a different mac
[02:58] <OY1R> q: is there a way (with gui) to completly delete a file in ubuntu ?
[02:58] <Ariii> Wow.... XUbuntu looks a lot better than Lubuntu, and I heard it's lighter too. Is this true? I've heard Lubuntu being recommended more often too.
[02:59] <vychune> Ariii: it depends on your computer and your preferance
[02:59] <Ctm54> escott took out the eth0 stuff, now when i click the networking thing at the top of the screen it says device not managed
[02:59] <zykotick9> Ariii: Xubuntu is similar (only slightly less) resource hungry then old gnome2
[02:59] <escott> Ctm54, you would probably need to restart the networking service
[02:59] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: well you could regress by purge of apache2 and reinstall before the changes you made or maybe just create a index.html file that redirects to your desired index.php
[03:00] <Ctm54> escott remind me the command for that plz
[03:00] <Ariii> zykotick
[03:00] <escott> Ctm54, try service networking restart
[03:00] <vychune> Jihui_Choi: or purge redmine
[03:00] <Ariii> zykotick: So, which would be better: XUbuntu or an old version of Ubuntu?
[03:00] <Ctm54> escott "restart: unknown instance: "
[03:00] <zykotick9> !tab | Ariii
[03:01] <escott> Ctm54, try service network-manager restart then
[03:01] <zykotick9> Ariii: don't use unsupported versions, xubuntu is slightly lighter then gnome2 (but only slightly).  10.04 still has some support with gnome2
[03:01] <vychune> escott: shouldnt he sudo that?
[03:02] <escott> vychune, yes Ctm54 ^^^
[03:02] <Ctm54> escott vychune figured out to sudo, now what?
[03:02] <escott> Ctm54, now see if network manager will manage eth0
[03:02] <Ctm54> escott yup it will
[03:02] <escott> Ctm54, probably want to plug/unplug the cord
[03:02] <vychune> see if the check for enable networking is ticked too
[03:03] <Ariii> zykotick9: Thanks!
[03:03] <vychune> on the wifi icon thing
[03:03] <vychune> (that has tripped me many a time lol)
[03:03] <vychune> not saying thats your issue just checking
[03:03] <Ctm54> escott vychune plugged and unplugged, enable networking checked
[03:03] <Ctm54> still same results
[03:04] <Ctm54> escott vychune and now when i hit route no numbers come up
[03:04] <Ariii> I know I have no hope of getting even Xubuntu to work well on a 366 MHz iBook, but it did pretty well in MintPPC, so should it work well with FVWM well in Ubuntu?
[03:05] <zykotick9> Ctm54: if you're getting "not managed" it's because the device has settings in /etc/network/interfaces (remove that and reboot or ifdown/ifup)
[03:05] <Ctm54> zykotick9: no it's managed now it just can't connect and now nothing is coming up in my routing table
[03:06] <kanupatar> hi good morning all
[03:06] <escott> Ctm54, so go into the network manager gui and see what it says about the connection. is it set to DHCP
[03:06] <zykotick9> Ctm54: ok sorry (my bad).  i have no suggestions...
[03:06] <subcool> ui vychune i did not open gparted with root, no. I dont really know the CLI commonds to do this all. I just wanted to see whats on my 130gb drive, and super empty partition.
[03:06] <kanupatar> I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine.
[03:06] <ui> gparted will open inside a window
[03:07] <ui> ...
[03:07] <Ctm54> escott IPv4 is set to DHCP and require IPv4 for connection to complete, IPv6 is set to ignore
[03:07] <kanupatar> I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine.
[03:07] <kanupatar> any idea?
[03:08] <ui> subcool: I was wondering whether you would not see because you have not enough privileges... hence usage of 'sudo'
[03:08] <ui> and to make up partitions you need gparted, which opens in a window and must be run with sudo as well
[03:08] <kanupatar> I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine.
[03:08] <kanupatar> any idea?
[03:09] <arashb> can someone tell me how i would apply this patch from this link? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.drivers.intel/3826
[03:09] <vychune> kandinski: we see you hold on a second lol
[03:09] <ui> subcool: to see the files just do sudo nautilus
[03:09] <vychune> kanupatar: : we see you hold on a second lol
[03:10] <kanupatar> vychune:sure
[03:10] <zykotick9> !gksudo | ui DON'T use sudo with GUI apps
[03:10] <kanupatar> vychune: eccentric!
[03:10] <escott> Ctm54, must not be getting a lease offer. you can manually set the ip address in network manager (and accomplish what you accomplished with /etc/network/interfaces) but im not sure what that would accomplish
[03:10] <ui> thanks a lot zykotick9
[03:11] <Ctm54> escott might this be something i have to fix with my router?
[03:11] <ui> subcool: sorry for above mistake, do 'gksudo nautilus'
[03:11] <escott> Ctm54, maybe. it would help to know if the router is detecting that there is another computer on the other end of that wire
[03:11] <escott> Ctm54, but i dont know how that would be done
[03:12] <vychune> escott: Ctm54 : he would need to look on his router for his config ip address
[03:13] <Ctm54> escott: vychune: it's not showing up on my router's network map but when i reboot the linux box it shows up in my mac's finder for a few seconds before going away, and my routers routing log shows an expired DCHP lease for my linux box's mac address
[03:14] <escott> Ctm54, are the clocks in sync?
[03:14] <Ctm54> escott what clocks and how would i check that?
[03:15] <vychune> THE TIME!
[03:15] <vychune> oh yeah
[03:15] <kanupatar> vychune: time is over :(
[03:15] <vychune> didnt think of think
[03:15] <vychune> didnt think of that
[03:15] <vychune> kanupatar: still working on you
[03:15] <kanupatar> vychune: who?
[03:16] <escott> Ctm54, (a) does the linux system show the correct time (b) does the mac show the correct time (c) from the mac if you go to https://<IP_ADDRESS> and see if it shows the correct time
[03:16] <vychune> kanupatar: im looking for your problem
[03:16] <usr13__> Ctm54: date
[03:17] <L3top> kanupatar: here or there... lspci -nn | grep VGA
[03:17] <Ctm54> escott i have just adjusted the linux to show the correct time, router does not show correct time but (i think) is synced to the right time zone
[03:17] <kanupatar> vychune: more explanation: the machine randomly freezes with out any reason... even i freezes if did n't open any applications
[03:17] <HelloWorld321> To setup R, I'm looking for MySQL's base dir, lib dir & include path; I'm looking in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and I see: "basedir = /usr"; "datadir = /var/lib/mysql"; and "!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/".  Is that them?
[03:17] <escott> Ctm54, you can also check that the DHCP lease time is a reasonably long period (this is in the router config)
[03:18] <vychune> kanupatar: does it always do it at a certain point?
[03:18] <kanupatar> L3top: am using intel..i know the graphics driver bug for nvidia vga for 12.04
[03:18] <kanupatar> vychune: no..it is random
[03:18] <Ctm54> it's set to 86400, escott, should be good right?
[03:18]  * L3top doesn't know why this is like pulling teeth... doesn't know why he continues to pull.
[03:18] <kanupatar> vychune: the complete machine become freezes..only way to get rid of that is force reboot
[03:19] <escott> Ctm54, so that is 1 day which is fine
[03:19] <Ctm54> escott, although the lease list says 45 seconds under my machines mac address...
[03:19] <escott> Ctm54, you might clear your leases for that mac
[03:20] <Ctm54> escott how do i do that? any idea?
[03:20] <L3top> kanupatar: run memtest for a few cycles.
[03:20] <escott> Ctm54, router dependent. look in the routers administration webpage, or reboot the router
[03:21] <kanupatar> L3top: already tried and no issues either
[03:22] <vychune> i've run out of ideas on this end sorry
[03:23] <usr13__> Ctm54: I got here late, what is the issue?
[03:23] <Guest77655> tes
[03:23] <Ctm54_> escott sorry i'm back now
[03:23] <Guest77655> hello
[03:23] <Ctm54_> router closed me out when i changed a setting
[03:24] <abimael> Ok so i moved a picture into the usr/share/background folder but it doesnt show up in settings under the default wallpapers, Why is that?
[03:26] <escott> Ctm54_, are things at all better now?
[03:27] <escott> abimael, did you properly re-chown it?
[03:27] <Ctm54_> escott nope still can't connect
[03:27] <Ctm54_> escott network is still unreachable
[03:27] <arashb> can someone help me with applying patches on ubuntu?
[03:27] <escott> Ctm54_, im afraid i dont really know what to suggest. sounds like a router problem of some kind.
[03:28] <abimael> escott: umm, no, how would i do that?
[03:28] <Ctm54_> escott would it be worth the time and effort to set up a whole new router?
[03:28] <escott> Ctm54_, the fact that it appears briefly in finder suggests that some kind of broadcast messages are being sent but then you get kicked off the network
[03:28] <abimael> escott: chown is change ownership right?
[03:28] <zykotick9> arashb: patches are typically applied to source code, then recompiled?  sounds like you're trying to do something "outisde" of ubuntu
[03:29] <escott> Ctm54_, that depends on how important it is to you. someone who is sitting in front of it might be able to diagnose what is going on
[03:29] <escott> abimael, yes
[03:29] <arashb> zykotick9: im trying to patch my system so I can properly boot in EFI mode but have never dealt with patches before, i'm still fairly new
[03:29] <abimael> ok so what exactly would i need to do, specfically pertaining to the picture?
[03:30] <zykotick9> arashb: sorry i haven't crossed into EFI yet - i know nothing about it.  best of luck.
[03:30] <arashb> zykotick9: thanks anyways
[03:30] <calamari> in firefox 13.01 on ubuntu 12.04, when a pdf is accessed, it tries to download it, rather than view it in the browser. acroread is installed (tried complete remal and reinstall). moved ~/.mozilla but that didn't help. any ideas?
[03:30] <abimael> escott: ok so what exactly would i need to do, specifically pertaining to the picture?
[03:30] <escott> arashb, thats really painful road you are traveling down. you might seek some alternative method
[03:31] <escott> abimael, sudo chown root:root /usr/share/backgrounds/filename
[03:31] <zykotick9> escott: re:arashb +1
[03:31] <arashb> escott: i cant, BIOS mode won't use my onboard graphics and insists on me running off my ATI, and also battery life sucks
[03:31] <subcool> ui, yo, i dont have time to do it now- thanks for trying to help ....
[03:32] <L3top> kanupatar: I need information to help you. Bugs #665796 #772856 possibly related. I need to know your exact hardware though. Let me know if you feel like providing it at any time.
[03:32] <L3top> I lean towards 772856
[03:32] <ui> you're welcome
[03:33] <arashb> hmmm ubuntu uses kernel v 3.2 right?
[03:33] <abimael> escott: still wont show up in default folder, even though picture is in folder and chown has been done...???
[03:33] <kanupatar> L3top: now i am in office and the issue was in my personal machine..i can give you my complete hardware details once I reach my home..please share your mail id in prv
[03:33] <arashb> *the latest ubuntu i mean
[03:33] <Need2Grow> is ubuntu a tribe of africa
[03:33] <L3top> Just drop back in when you have the hardware in front of you. Someone will be willing to try and help. I am also usually here.
[03:33] <L3top> kanupatar: ^
[03:33] <Ctm54_> escott thanks for all your time...i may try with another router and if that fails see if i can get a buddy to swing by and try to diagnose
[03:34] <zykotick9> !info linux-image | arashb
[03:34] <kanupatar> L3top: means?
[03:34] <abimael> Need2Grow: a famous saying pertaining to basically equality. look it up. its nice
[03:34] <escott> abimael, im afraid i dont really know what it would be looking for then
[03:34] <L3top> kanupatar: It means I get too much email as it is, and do not wish to field ubuntu support issues with it.
[03:34] <jrdnn> Need2Grow: It's the African word for community IIRC
[03:35] <Need2Grow> ubuntu huh  blacks havent done shit with thier equality
[03:35] <Need2Grow> haha jjk
[03:35] <escott> abimael, as long as the file has the right permissions in that folder i would expect it to be listed in the capplet. you might need to logout to get it to see it, but it should see it
[03:35] <kanupatar> L3top: :(
[03:35] <arashb> zykotick9: why is the latest kernel on kernel.org 3.5? and no mention of <IP_ADDRESS>.26?
[03:35] <Need2Grow> i need to get high but i quit :(
[03:35] <zykotick9> !OT | jrdnn Need2Grow
[03:35] <L3top> !ops | Need2Grow
[03:35] <abimael> escott: ok thanks
[03:35] <jrdnn> zykotick9: Sorry.
[03:35] <zykotick9> !latest | arashb this kinda makes me laugh but...
[03:36] <arashb> zykotick9: sorry haha, i guess i was confused that this releases kernel wasn't posted up, ahh well. thanks
[03:36] <mohan_zl> mohan_zl
[03:37] <zykotick9> arashb: you also need to understand that 90% of packages are frozen at the time that version is released and only get "security" updates, not version number updates
[03:37] <Testxat> I'm trying to go into this other server, but It won't let me.  It says something about my ISP not being allowed :(
[03:38] <abimael> escott: no go, logged out and back in but still nothing. And my login screen didnt even show anything, as if the file it was looking for was missing or something
[03:38] <abimael> just showed a purple background with the typical grid dot layout
[03:38] <arashb> zykotick9: alright thanks, i guess i'll start learning about all this now :P lets see how this goes for me
[03:40] <kanupatar> L3top: :(
[03:40] <xubuntu469> i'm having some trouble getting hdmi audio out to work. the sound options recognise that the hdmi device can output audio and the bars move around when there should be sound playing but there's no sound. any ideas why this may be the case? it works fine in windows
[03:42] <L3top> kanupatar: when you have the hardware in front of you, feel free to drop in. You are a stranger to me. I help lots of people every day. If I gave out my email... I can only imagine the spam I would receive. It is not meant to be a personal offront to you... I simply do not wish to give you my email because I do not know you. I am here quite a bit, and if I am not, I am sure someone will be able to help you.
[03:42] <escott> abimael, double check the permissions of those files with ls -l /usr/share/backgrounds your file should look like the other ones
[03:42] <Need2Grow> any1 feel guilty for taking their parents for granted
[03:42] <Need2Grow> im depressed abuot it
[03:42] <Need2Grow> im so selfish holyy god willnever forgive me
[03:42] <Testxat> :(
[03:42] <Jihui_Choi> sacarlson: thank you, but I did it several times. now I have to just redirect index.html to index.php
[03:43] <L3top> Need2Grow: this is an ubuntu support channel. For chitchat try #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:43] <Need2Grow> :(```
[03:43] <kandinski> lastlog vychune
[03:43] <Need2Grow> dude im screwd
[03:43] <Need2Grow> man
[03:43] <kandinski> yup
[03:43] <sacarlson> Jihui_Choi: yes that sounds like any easy solution if that's your only problem
[03:44] <gld1982ltd> hello all. is there anyone here who can create a debian package out of files i have? the files are an app called conky control. it is used on voyager linux. i have translated the app to english and have add the appropriate desktop files. i have no clue how to make a debian package so others can enjoy this app.
[03:45] <calamari> gld1982ltd: there are a couple programs that can do it
[03:46] <calamari> gld1982ltd: will this be distributed, or is it a one-off for your personal use only?
[03:46] <L3top> gld1982ltd: The right way http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/   the easy way http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356
[03:46] <gld1982ltd> calamari: i have tried debriate and deb creator. i can't seem to get it to work right. i have no clue what i'm doing.
[03:47] <calamari> gld1982ltd: follow L3top's links
[03:49] <gld1982ltd> L3top: yeah, i have read through all the documentation.....well, some of it. it is a lot to take in all at once. checkinstall will not work since this is an app that is not in any repo, and has no source file. the app is merely a couple of scripts that are used on voyager linux.
[03:50] <gld1982ltd> i can hand over the files if anyone can create the package.....?
[03:57] <abimael> escott: it is the same but still doesnt show, I dont have an /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file, would that matter?
[04:05] <mattperry1976_> this may be a stupid question, but how did getdeb/playdeb build their "install repo" deb file?
[04:08] <mattperry1976_> I'm wanting to build one for my ppa
[04:12] <kramer3d> hi i have a noob question... I have a root account and another account how can I save files to the other account
[04:12] <kramer3d> from the root account
[04:16] <milamber> kramer3d: 1.) you shouldn't have a root account
[04:16] <milamber> 2.) you can copy files using the root account into the other user's home folder and then you have to either make them readable (chmod) or change the owner (chown) depending on what the ultimate goal is
[04:17] <ssrvm> hi. on machine A i have windows 7 & lubuntu dual but. All other machines i have lubuntu. On which machine should I install samba to share printer of machine A to all network? help please
[04:19] <milamber> ssrvm: which computer is the printer on?
[04:19] <ssrvm> machine A
[04:20] <L3top> !pm | kanupatar I am not trying to be rude, but stop hounding me to email you. I was clear. No.
[04:20] <ssrvm> milamber, machine A. the one with windows 7 and lubuntu dual boot
[04:20] <ssrvm> milamber, and 90% times windows is running on machine A
[04:21] <milamber> ssrvm: ok, that makes it easier. you just have to right click and share the printer on the windows machine
[04:21] <ssrvm> milamber, printer is already shared on network. and it can be accessed by other machines from windows. but how do i access it from lubuntu?
[04:21] <milamber> ssrvm: then on the linux machines you have to install smb-client (i think it is just smbclient now) and you will be able to find the shared printer on the network
[04:23] <theuser> hi
[04:23] <theuser> I did automated update last night and now my pidgin data is gone?
[04:27] <jeeves_moss> just wondering, what package contains bluetooh.h?  I'm having an issue with a compile http://pastebin.com/eEqVj9hU
[04:27] <jeeves_moss> the compile line is "gcc -lbluetooth -lopenobex obex.c sdp.c main.c -o btobex"
[04:28] <milamber> jeeves_moss: you should download and use apt-file. to install: sudo apt-get install apt-file, then sudo apt-file update, then apt-file search bluetooh.h
[04:29] <jeeves_moss> milamber, thanks!  That saves a lot of head scratching
[04:29] <milamber> jeeves_moss: if i had to guess, i would say libbluetooth-ev
[04:29] <milamber> libbluetooth-dev
[04:30] <jeeves_moss> thanks.  I'm trying to install BlueDivingNG, and it's throwing a lot of compile errors
[04:33] <jeeves_moss> I think it's time for bed.  this can wait until tomorrow when I have more time to beat my head against the wall

[04:38] <jeeves_moss> Loshki, thank you.  I found it at about the same time.  I'm just trying to go through and write all of the requirements for this project, then push a bug report
[04:39] <zykotick9> sorry - fyi "?" is not a key to search backwards in irssi ;)
[04:40] <mi3>  Hello... I'm wondering if I can merge an ext4 partition with my current ext4 partition that my ubuntu installation is on.. is that possible?
[04:41] <kriskropd> mi3, do you mean like, copying and pasting the files over into one partition?
[04:41] <mi3> kriskropd: yeah
[04:42] <kriskropd> mi3, yeah, you can mount both partitions and simply copy the files over, then after you could merge the two partitions into whichever is your "current" partition with gparted
[04:43] <mi3> kriskropd: that wont result in data loss, right ?
[04:44] <Loshki> mi3: er, you have backups, right? In case it all goes horribly wrong...?
[04:44] <mi3> Loshki: yeah
[04:45] <Loshki> mi3: might be easiest to wipe the partitions, merge them, then restore from backup on the new, merged partition. Tedious, but fairly bulletproof...
[04:45] <mi3> i made one just in case... is this going to wipe the file system?
[04:46] <mi3> Loshki: umm sounds easy....
[04:46] <kriskropd> mi3, yeah, I would backup just in case
[04:46] <kriskropd> mi3, anything could happen
[04:46] <mi3> understood, guys
[04:46] <mi3> I will backup the data
[04:46] <Loshki> mi3: as long as your backups are readable/reliable, there's not much you can't attempt...
[04:48] <Loshki> mi3: in general, I would assume any partition resizing will trash the data. If you get lucky and it doesn't, then it's saved you a bit of time restoring. But either way, you can recover
[04:49] <mi3> Loshki: thats what I was thinking, you can merge a partition without risking data loss
[04:49] <mi3> sorry
[04:49] <mi3> *cant
[04:49] <mi3> you cant merger a partition
[04:50] <mi3> *merger
[04:50] <mi3> WTF
[04:50] <mi3> merge
[04:50] <FloodBot1> mi3: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:50] <mi3> ok, sorry
[04:50] <chu> mi3: Don't use that acronym.
[04:50] <mi3> ok, sorry
[04:50] <OY1R> how do i whipe the free space on a partition ?
[04:51] <mi3> OY1R: use sfill.
[04:51] <kriskropd> mi3,  loshki has the right mindset, I would never mess with partitions without a reliable backup, but also from experience, every merge I've ever had to do with gparted has worked flawlessly and easily; should be self explanatory when you get there
[04:51] <Loshki> mi3: if you're just merging neighboring partitions so that the main one expands into its next door one, then *maybe* the data will be preserved, but I don't know anyone who *guarantees* that, so, backups...
[04:51] <mi3> OY1R: sudo apt-get install secure-delete
[04:51] <mi3> kriskropd: Loshki yeah right guys, I guess backups are important....
[04:52] <kriskropd> mi3: it's only your data :3
[04:52] <mi3> xD
[04:52] <Loshki> kriskropd: yeah. Been there, done that. Had to face my team/boss. Wish someone had said to me before I started that backups were crucial to a quick recovery...
[04:53] <kanupatar> ubottu: ok

[04:57] <ssrvm> milamber, i tried to access machine A from another lubuntu. it shows the samba share. but it do not show the printer. how can i access the printer?
[05:05] <kanupatar> what is mean by uImage?
[05:05] <kanupatar> for a system we need uImage,rootfs and kernel?

[05:06] <zamutnii> Hello, I have an ATI mobility radeon HD5470 graphics card on the notebook. I've upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and now after while it's booting, I get an image of green, white, red and blue flickering snow garbage. Nothing works except for ctrl-alt-del. I tried to download the driver from the ati/amd's site. Installed it. It told me that fglrx was already installed, I need to remove it first, so I removed it before installing the dr
[05:06] <zamutnii> iver. now, the garbage snow doesn't flicker, but it freezes while loading. It just stays on the UBUNTU with dots underneath screen. nothing works, except for holding the power button for a few secs.
[05:06] <wizonesolutions> On another Lucid box I don't have the issue. It's happening when downloading some of the security.ubuntu.com stuff
[05:07] <goddard> ive noticed a lot of users installing Ubuntu to a USB ... should I discourage this?  Is this supported by Ubuntu?

[05:14] <sudipta> ssrvm: is it safe to install it in ubuntu 12.04?
[05:15] <wasanzy> hi guys
[05:15] <Murd0ck> what's the linux "rocket dock"?
[05:15] <wasanzy> am having trouble configuring dual monitor
[05:15] <ssrvm> sudipta, if YOU trust the ppa then only add the ppa. otherwise do not add ppa. cinnmon is officilay not tested on ubuntu and no official packages available for ubuntu.
[05:15] <sloppy> Hey guys...I have a question about the purpose of not being logged in as root. I have heard that it prevents people from being able to execute commands on your computer if you are connected to things like IRC
[05:16] <sloppy> but how would one even go about executing commands on a computer connected to irc that is logged in as root?
[05:16] <paulus68> I installed ubuntu on a 500 gig harddrive which is more then sufficient concerning the space is there a way that I can dedicate folders as shared folders on that same drive example /media/backup => external usb drive
[05:16] <ssrvm> sudipta, what i can tell is when *I* used it on my pc i found it to be stable. but i can not comment anything about its security
[05:17] <subb1> any hints guys?

[05:21] <wasanzy> am using ubuntu 12.04
[05:22] <wasanzy> please help
[05:22] <duckx> i edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config and changed my port # and then i did a /etc/init.d/ssh reload ... but it doesnt work it seems.. amy doing something wrong? I'm on version 12.04
[05:22] <fearolo> how to use nmap ?
[05:23] <wasanzy> what error get duckx?
[05:23] <chu> !man | fearolo
[05:23] <paulus68> !nmap |fearolo
[05:23] <duckx> i dont get any error
[05:23] <Murd0ck> If anyone cares,.. it's docky
[05:23] <Murd0ck> it's in the repos
[05:23] <duckx> i am still able to login via port 22
[05:23] <duckx> i changed it to 9999
[05:23] <Loshki> duckx: did you edit ssh_config or sshd_config? Two different files, one for the server, one for the client?
[05:24] <duckx> oic
[05:24] <duckx> just ssh_config
[05:24] <duckx> which one is that for
[05:24] <duckx> and the d for ?
[05:24] <wasanzy> ssh_config is for the client
[05:24] <paulus68> fearolo: http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/ip-and-port-scanning-using-nmap-network-mapper-in-ubuntu/ might be helpfull
[05:25] <wasanzy> I guess u hv to change same in sshd_config
[05:25] <fearolo> where can i use nmap ? Means its applications
[05:25] <duckx> what u mean for the client ?
[05:25] <duckx> am i not the client when logging in ?
[05:25] <Loshki> duckx: d is for daemon, another word for "server", so sshd_config is for the server, ssh_config is for the client. Now that I have to explain it, I realise that having them differ only in one letter is rather bad design...
[05:25] <caffine> as the same logged in user, i can ping the internet from a terminal window, but things like akregator and amarok can't get to the internet anymore. anyone seen that before or better yet, know how to fix it? also, obviously, pidgin is working. :)
[05:25] <paulus68> fearolo: what do you mean
[05:26] <wasanzy> I need help as well please
[05:26] <duckx> ssh_config.. is for when ur logging into somewhere else right ?
[05:26] <fearolo> paulus68: means nmap application .I only know port scanner but actually don't know its application
[05:27] <duckx> say i was going to do ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:27] <zamutnii> After upgrading ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, my graphics freezes during boot with flickering colored dots, covering the monitor. ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470
[05:27] <Loshki> duckx: both client and server have to agree on which port they're using. You need to edit both files, or at least sshd_config and then use -p 9999 with the client
[05:27] <duckx> and it would default the port # to what i set in ssh_config ?
[05:27] <wasanzy> yes duckx
[05:27] <Loshki> duckx: set them both, restart the server, and then retest...
[05:27] <paulus68> fearolo: under ubuntu just use the nmap commands in terminal and use it wisely
[05:28] <wasanzy> duckx: just do this with out editing the server file ssh -p 999<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:29] <fearolo> paulus68: what do you mean by packet filtering
[05:29] <duckx> so im going to rever the ssh_config file back to defaults then... i guess i wasnt suppose to touch that.. i changed the sshd and it works now
[05:29] <Loshki> wasanzy: duckx: if you don't edit the server file, it will continue listening on port 22
[05:30] <ScrappieDo> zamutnii, i dunno if this helps any, but hows about removing fglrx* and reconfiguring xorg
[05:30] <wasanzy> Loshki: am not sure he is setting 999  as his default port
[05:30] <paulus68> fearolo: http://nmap.org/book/man.html
[05:31] <duckx> Loshki, i edited the sshd_config file
[05:32] <duckx> tat should be the only one im editing right ? its the daemon
[05:32] <wasanzy> but please am still waiting for a help on my dual monitor issue
[05:33] <duckx> is this lanscape canonical thing useful ? i just signed up
[05:34] <zamutnii> ScrappieDo: after that flickering colored dots flickering, I downloaded the driver from ati/amd site and started installing, after which, it told me that fglrx is already installed, I need to remove it first, so I've removed, rebooted and installed the new drivers. now the screen doesn't flicker, but stays forever on the UBUNTU with dots underneath booting screen and no keys work. I only am able to force reboot by holding the power
[05:34] <zamutnii> button for a few secs.
[05:34] <Loshki> duckx: edit the daemon and restart it. It should now be listening on port 9999. You should be able to connect by doing ssh -v -p 9999<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:34] <duckx> yea i got it thanks!
[05:34] <wasanzy> duckx just make sure edit both sshd_config and ssh_config
[05:34] <duckx> i only edited sshd
[05:35] <duckx> and its working
[05:35] <hmw> When I try to cat file > /dev/ttyUSB0 to my Commodore64, bytes with value $00 seem not to be transmitted. Is it something on the Linux side?
[05:36] <duckx> i dont see why i need to edit ssh_configh... its settings for the default port when i ssh into another server isnt it? as if i am the client
[05:36] <fearolo> paulus68: i want to open a port number using nmap .How can i do that ?
[05:36] <Loshki> duckx: then ironically, you've done something wrong, since the client should try port 22 by default, while the server should be listening on port 9999.
[05:36] <ScrappieDo> zamutnii, probably should remove it - why dont you install the driver from ubuntu or a ppa?
[05:37] <duckx> yea the server is set to listen on 8880
[05:37] <paulus68> fearolo: why do you want to use nmap for that? nmap is a scanning tool if you need to open ports you need to do that through your firewall/router
[05:37] <duckx> when i ssh in from the computer im using now .. i have to do ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 9999
[05:37] <duckx> which is wat i wanted
[05:38] <KM0201> duckx: whats the 9999 ?
[05:38] <KM0201> port?
[05:38] <duckx> sshd_config
[05:38] <duckx> yea port
[05:38] <KM0201> oh ok
[05:38] <Loshki> duckx: ok, that sounds right. If you run ssh with "-v" you should be able to verify which port its using from the debug output.
[05:38] <duckx> o ok
[05:38] <zamutnii> ScrappieDo: but, I think, it was installed by default, until I installed the proprietary. Can you hint on how to install the driver from ubuntu or ppa.
[05:39] <ScrappieDo> zamutnii, i used  jockey, the install drivers thing.   the older one in jockey worked fine for me, but the updated one didn't work at all.
[05:39] <fearolo> paulus68: ok ! suppose i want to know which application use what port .Which tool will help me
[05:39] <Loshki> duckx: look for a line like: Connecting to localhost [<IP_ADDRESS>] port 22. Of course, your host and port should be different to mine
[05:40] <wasanzy> No one to help me?
[05:40] <duckx> wasanzy, sorry im new myself
[05:40] <zamutnii> ScrappieDo: you see, I can't get onto the gui, so do I install something like apt-get install jockey?
[05:41] <paulus68> fearolo: for that you can use nmap
[05:42] <ScrappieDo> zamutnii, I would try to remove fglrx and install the one from the repo instead
[05:42] <Loshki> wasanzy: please repeat your question so new people can read it. It can take a while before Someone Who Knows about your issue comes online in this group. You can repeat your question every 15 minutes or so until someone responds (or you get tired of asking)...
[05:42] <fearolo> paulus68: how ? suppose i want to check for my firefox ,what should i write in terminal
[05:43] <L3top> wasanzy: looking. One moment please.
[05:43] <Loshki> duckx: were you able to confirm the port?
[05:43] <duckx> yea its good now
[05:44] <wasanzy> am having trouble configuring dual monitor
[05:44] <wasanzy> the error am getting is: http://pastebin.com/0SdyWGKc and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is: http://pastebin.com/h9X9L7V6
 kuzushi: I don't understand
[05:44] <wasanzy>  what am I doing wrong again after setting the virtual even above the require?
[05:44] <FloodBot1> wasanzy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:44] <Loshki> duckx: is your ssh server accessible from the internet? If so, you may need to take additional security precautions...
[05:44] <L3top> wasanzy: Ok... first of all set your desired resolution in xorg.conf under virtual... it is set at 9000 x 9000. Not at all sure how that happened
[05:45] <wasanzy> L3top: I set that my self, is it wrong? I thought it should be above the require
[05:45] <duckx> Loshki, yea its a server i just signed up for on linode
[05:45] <duckx> what else should i do besides changing the ports
[05:46] <Gangsta> hello
[05:46] <Gangsta> i need cvv
[05:46] <L3top> wasanzy: No, it should match the actual resolution you want. I also only see one monitor config here... are you successfully splitting?
[05:47] <Gangsta> to buy game sombody want give me cvv
[05:47] <L3top> wasanzy: or at least be in RANGE if not matching. I match them.
[05:47] <fearolo> paulus68: ? .Please reply me .I need to know
[05:48] <wasanzy> ok
[05:48] <paulus68> fearolo: still looking
[05:48] <dax> Gangsta: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Asking for numbers off people's credit cards is not on-topic here, and freenode in general is not a very good place for it.
[05:48] <fearolo> paulus68:  : )
[05:48] <paulus68> fearolo: might use this ebook http://b00kfr33.blogspot.be/2011/06/nmap-in-enterprise-your-guide-to.html
[05:49] <Loshki> duckx: ideally, disallow user/password logins and only allow access via ssh keys. You'll need to do some reading to set it up. Until you can manage that, then at least use strong passwords, and disallow root logins...
[05:49] <duckx> i know how to setup ssh key logins
[05:49] <duckx> but no logins at all ?
[05:50] <Gangsta> dax u tell me wat kind of chat i get it cvv
[05:50] <dax> Gangsta: No.
[05:50] <Gangsta> dax plz help me out bro
[05:54] <Loshki> duckx: no logins via username+password, which can be guessed/stolen. Allow logins only if you have the correct ssh key (which can be stolen, but not guessed). Also, use a less obvious port than 9999. Pick a more random port, and don't tell me (or anyone else) what it is...
[05:54] <blipblop> I'm creating a new encrypted partition on a zerofilled external hard drive with newly added gpt partition table. I want to make this encrypted partition an Ext4 one. Should I "Take ownership of file system" if I want to be able to use the encrypted partition on other Linux boxes?
[05:57] <sbarcteam> hi.
[05:57] <sbarcteam> I am on 12.04, and it seems something is wrong with my system.
[05:58] <Loshki> !ask | sbarcteam
[05:58] <sbarcteam> the "something" is that after a long while the machine becomes sluggish, especially when I'm using gnome-shell or unity.
[05:59] <sbarcteam> I'm currently on xfce, giving it a try.
[05:59] <sbarcteam> The machine itself is not a weakling: an i5 @ 3.2GHz, 8GB of ram, the hdd is a SATA drive at 7.5 kRPM.
[06:00] <sbarcteam> its tight spot is the graphics processor: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
[06:02] <Kartagis> I'm on 12.04 as well, and my computer becomes totally unresponsive after leaving in on for a day or two
[06:04] <Loshki> Kartagis: running unity?
[06:06] <Kartagis> Loshki: atm, cairo
[06:07] <shivaram> hello all
[06:09] <Murd0ck> hello
[06:10] <vampirnata> I have 3 USB disks connected to my server acting as media storage for streaming. Anyone know how to disable them spinning down?
[06:10] <deffrag> Hello! How can I enable the -proposed repository as mentioned here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1015015/comments/3 ?
[06:12] <iceroot> deffrag: dont just enable it, it will normally break things when not using pinning on it
[06:12] <iceroot> deffrag: proposed is something like a testing-repo for a stable distribution where a lot of changes occure
[06:13] <iceroot> deffrag: not all are good for the system and are still in the testing phase
[06:15] <deffrag> iceroot: Is that Pre-released updates option as I see under Updates tab in Software Sources? I'm facing the problem exactly as described in the bug report. I was thinking of trying what was suggested in comment 3 as it probably helped others
[06:18] <Loshki> vampirnata: something like "sudo hdparm -S 0 <device>". Check your man page for your version of ubuntu.
[06:19] <sbarcteam> the question is: would my machine live better am I to upgrade the graphics card?
[06:22] <trijntje> Hi all, nautilus sorts the folders in my home folder based on last acces date, instead of on name. How can I change this?
[06:25] <zixxy> trijntje, edit > preferences > sort by?
[06:25] <ScrappieDo> trijntje, select window right click, arrange icons
[06:25] <Loshki> sbarcteam: it wouldn't be my first action, unless you happen to have a spare graphics card lying around. I run similar hardware to yours, using the built-in intel graphics and my 12.04 uptime is currently 11 days. Then again, I don't run the standard DE/GUI stuff. I can easily believe the new DEs have memory leaks, the only odd thing is if that's the case, why haven't more people reported it?
[06:26] <trijntje> ScrappieDo: Thanks, that solved it
[06:29] <HyperNerdV2> Gents (and ladies).. the dry run of this: sudo rsync -azvv -e ssh /home/FOLDER/server_files<EMAIL_ADDRESS>however the actual run returns the following error:
[06:30] <HyperNerdV2> rsync: mkdir<EMAIL_ADDRESS>failed: No such file or directory (2)
[06:30] <HyperNerdV2> anyone have any idea what the problem/fix is?
[06:34] <ScrappieDo> probably just mkdir<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:35] <ScrappieDo> "
[06:36] <ScrappieDo> but if you are ssh'd into the machine, you probably  just need to mkdir /bla/bla/bla
[06:37] <HyperNerdV2> ScrappieDo: I suppose I should mention the intent… I have a new server that has been loaded up from a old backup, so I'm trying to do a diff restore to the new server
[06:37] <HyperNerdV2> ScrappieDo: So, creating the dirs individually would be problematic
[06:40] <ScrappieDo> maybe scp -r will build the directories for you - i dunno
[06:40] <hateball> It should
[06:40] <HyperNerdV2> ScrappieDo: ok, thanks
[06:41] <HyperNerdV2> would that replace the older files and not touch newer?
[06:42] <ScrappieDo> that would copy verbatim
[06:43] <ScrappieDo> but would not touch newer files.
[06:43] <ScrappieDo> that would be like doing a cp
[06:43] <Guest86422> Anybody with openldap client on ubuntu 12.04 ??
[06:44] <Guest86422> Ldap client login fails in GUI ubintu 12.04...help ??
[06:44] <vampirnata> Loshki: thanks I tried that already but it still spins down
[06:49] <Loshki> vampirnata: I'm not sure that hdparm works over usb. I know SMART doesn't. You could brute force it e.g use cron to touch a file on the disk every 20 minutes or whatever to keep them from spinning down
[06:49] <mavericksam> anybody who is has configured openldap on ubuntu 12.04 ?

[06:52] <yankarlos> como estan
[06:52] <Loshki> HyperNerdV2: I'm not sure your syntax is correct. Shouldn't there be a double colon in there somewhere?

[06:53] <HyperNerdV2> Loshki: i'm reading up on the man page now...
[06:54] <Tewlz> Anyone know a good firewall for ubuntu?  Maybe i don't even need one?
[06:55] <yankarlos> kien habla español ?
[06:55] <dax> yankarlos: #ubuntu is English-language only. Try #ubuntu-es for Spanish :)

[06:56] <Loshki> HyperNerdV2: I notice it thinks the filename contains an<EMAIL_ADDRESS>which shouldn't be part of the mkdir...

[07:09] <ruiwen> hi guys, i've just tried upgrading via do-release-upgrade (in a virtualbox vm), and it seems that the upgrade process has hung. turns out my host was running out of harddisk space, which may have caused the hang. i've cleared up some space now, but i can't get the upgrade process to respond. any hints?

[07:19] <Fudge> what is a vnc program i can setup for a mate that can run from his server without an active session of gnome running to allow vnc authenticating via ssh?
[07:22] <_ruben> Fudge: servers generally don't run gnome or any graphical interface for that matter
[07:22] <Fudge> _ruben  i know, but i was under the impression you didnt need a desktop running to vnc in
[07:23] <c_nick> ick
[07:23] <L3top> if you plan on seeing the other sides desktop, you will have to have some sort of X session running.
[07:23] <mosk> Help

[07:29] <L3top> arcwolf: I have never encountered one. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist... but... I am unaware of it. They are a nightmare to support on my end. The one uses the other in order to switch gears through the same head.
[07:29] <mosk> I have a s3 acer with ubuntu, w7 and w8. by mistake I chose in the boot screen of ubuntu, the option to start the recovery partition. The recovery program load and in the first screen I select Exit and the laptop restart. But the boot is no more runing. I just can see this error.

[07:32] <Tewlz> switcheroo won't work since i'm using the fglrx drivers.  If i just uninstall them will it switch to the intel onboard?
[07:32] <L3top> mosk, what error... and you JUST asked the question.
[07:33] <L3top> Tewlz: it will use the open source radeon driver probably.
[07:33] <mosk> (mosk) I have a s3 acer with ubuntu, w7 and w8. by mistake I chose in the boot screen of ubuntu, the option to start the recovery partition.

[07:33] <L3top> switcheroo wont work with fglrx?
[07:33] <Tewlz> well the propietary drivers.  least that's what i read.
[07:34] <mosk> Can i fix it?
[07:34] <L3top> I will look at it Tewlz. Most of these are the nvidia optimus chipset...
[07:34] <L3top> !patience | mosk
[07:35] <Tewlz> ok thanks.  Ya if there is just a way to turn it off and just enable the intel one that would be great.  Don't care to switch them.
[07:35] <mosk> Sorry
[07:35] <besTKoDerEverR> Hi GuyZ, is it possible to run a freash clean installation of ubuntu, when you already have ubuntu installed? like some virtual stuff???
[07:35] <mosk> I'm here
[07:36] <L3top> mosk I believe you will need to boot to a live disk, mount it, bind /dev and chroot in... then install and update grub.
[07:36] <arcwolf> besTKoDerEverR: use live disk or a emulator
[07:36] <L3top> mosk: it is an involved process. Let me know when you have booted to the live cd.
[07:37] <L3top> Tewlz: by all means... look in the bios for a way to disable the discrete GPU. I was unaware there were any that let you. That would definitely be best.
[07:37] <Tewlz> Alright i'll give it a look.  Thanks for the help.
[07:38] <besTKoDerEverR> arcwolf, right.. i have a live ubuntu on usb.. can i install programs and packages to that live ubuntu?
[07:38] <besTKoDerEverR> arcwolf, so it would be like a real ubuntu
[07:38] <jordan__> How can I change the mapping of one letter on my keyboard?
[07:38] <arcwolf> L3top: the way some of the lappys did the switch was kinda weird/ proprietary case point the old sony vgn line
[07:38] <acemeister> does anyone know of a mp3 player for ubuntu and the command to get to it?
[07:38] <L3top> besTKoDerEverR: It will not preserve those installations on boot.
[07:38] <acemeister> also how can i get
[07:39] <acemeister> the extensions
[07:39] <acemeister> mount ur winxp filesystem....to ubuntu... how?
[07:39] <besTKoDerEverR> L3top, ok thanks.. :-(
[07:39] <vampirnata> Loshki: thanks :) sorry I was afk. I will try the cron trick
[07:39] <L3top> ubuntu comes with various things that will play mp3s acemeister. I do not understand the question.
[07:39] <acemeister> what's the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit ubuntu?
[07:39] <arcwolf> besTKoDerEverR: yes if you have a (savefile)? some distros will do this
[07:39] <acemeister> i know that
[07:40] <acemeister> but i dont know how to get to them
[07:40] <acemeister> the commands
[07:40] <acemeister> you have to type in
[07:40] <L3top> besTKoDerEverR: you could look into remastersys, then you could make a live cd that mirrored your install... and add it to a USB drive with persistence.
[07:40] <auronandace> !codecs | acemeister
[07:40] <arcwolf> ah there :)
[07:41] <mosk> (mosk) I make a usb stick because my laptop haven't cd drive
[07:41] <acemeister> so tell me the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit please?
[07:41] <mosk> (mosk) But I just see the first line
[07:41] <mosk> (mosk) Syslinux 4.06 edd ... .... Peter Anvin et al
[07:41] <acemeister> because it says 64 bit was install will it run slower?
[07:41] <mosk> (mosk)  No more... don't load anymore...
[07:41] <auronandace> acemeister: run slower? what are you talking about?
[07:42] <auronandace> acemeister: 64bit can address more ram (above 4gb)
[07:42] <L3top> acemeister: type the program followed by the /path/file you want it to open. The difference between 64 bit is that it will run 64 bit programs. It is a different architecture, that mostly just runs 32 bit stuff anyway because so little actually uses 64 bit arch.
[07:42] <strk> how do you mix audio from a console in Ubuntu 10.10 ? (alsamixer doesn't seem to work)
[07:42] <acemeister> Ok you know how there is 32 bit and 64 bit ubuntu versions?
[07:42] <acemeister> wellll i have win xp 32 bit installed and 64 bit ubuntu will this fuck things up?
[07:43] <L3top> acemeister: no, and do not curse in here.
[07:43] <acemeister> lol sorry
[07:43] <StarryNight> use 32 bit version
[07:43] <acemeister> but i already updated and installed :
[07:43] <arcwolf> either is fine
[07:43] <acemeister> it will still run it just not smoothly
[07:43] <Tewlz> No dice on the bios.
[07:43] <L3top> what do you mean mix audio strk?
[07:43] <acemeister> l3top
[07:44] <cool_code> acemeister, what kind of CPU you have?
[07:44] <auronandace> strk: 10.10 is no longer supported
[07:44] <arcwolf> Tewlz: then i have no idea.
[07:44] <StarryNight> for 5 years plus i been using only 64 bit cpus
[07:44] <mosk> Where is the spanish channel?
[07:44] <Tewlz> ok np. i'll keep searching.
[07:44] <auronandace> !es | mosk
[07:44] <acemeister> if  64 bit is used to address above 4gb and i have 960mb then 32 bit would be mor suitable and smoother ?
[07:44] <acemeister> cool code
[07:44] <StarryNight> yes
[07:44] <acemeister> its a 2.4ghz amd
[07:44] <L3top> acemeister: smoother, no.
[07:44] <acemeister> alright so is there anyway to revert back without installing over it
[07:44] <arcwolf> acemeister: the diffrences are omstly academic now anyway
[07:45] <acemeister> what do u mean?
[07:45] <besTKoDerEverR> thanks guyz..
[07:45] <acemeister> i mean performance wise
[07:45] <acemeister> im getting two diff answers i dnt know what to believe
[07:45] <L3top> acemeister: if your system is not smooth, it is not because you are running 64 bit
[07:45] <acemeister> yeah i know
[07:45] <acemeister> its because its a pos
[07:46] <acemeister> 960mb of ram
[07:46] <acemeister> i mean its smoother than xp
[07:46] <arcwolf> acemeister: most of the development from software is moving to x64 anyways...
[07:46] <acemeister> which is 32 bit
[07:46] <acemeister> oddly
[07:46] <L3top> pae 32bit kernel will also address more memory, not that it is your issue.
[07:46] <auronandace> acemeister: stop swearing
[07:46] <acemeister> what do you mean i kernel?
[07:46] <acemeister> the root?
[07:46] <acemeister> i didnt swear
[07:46] <L3top> I would not reinstall JUST because you have 64 bit installed... it is meant to be an enhancement, not a detriment.
[07:46] <acemeister> i used an acroynm
[07:47] <arcwolf> Tewlz: the onlything i can think is manualy loading/unloading kernel mods though not sure on how/what in ur case this would do
[07:47] <L3top> !pae | acemeister
[07:47] <acemeister> l3top just reinstall over it?
[07:47] <L3top> NO
[07:47] <acemeister> HOW?
[07:47] <jrdnn> acemeister: You don't need 64bit for lots of RAM(PAE does that) the benefit is if you run CPU intensive programs that do math on 64bit types which run faster in amd64 mode than emulated or with MMX, and also loads that can make use of twice as many registers (CPU intensive apps)
[07:47] <acemeister> please explain
[07:47] <jordan__> How can I change the mapping of one letter on my keyboard?
[07:47] <L3top> Just... leave it alone. It isn't broke. Dont fix it acemeister.
[07:47] <acemeister> it is broke and it needs to be fixed
[07:47] <arcwolf> PAE = bad
[07:47] <PapaSierra> could someone give me a hint why this might happen: "ln: creating symbolic link `pre-commit': Read-only file system"
[07:48] <arcwolf> no writing :|
[07:48] <acemeister> I want optimal performance if I could just reinstall over the current 64 bit version then why not?
[07:48] <jrdnn> PapaSierra: Type mount and look to see if there is "read-only" by the mountpoint relevant
[07:48] <L3top> whatever is "broken" isn't due to it being 64 bit. I cannot be clearer. It is not going to be "better" because you install 32
[07:48] <besTKoDerEverR> Can one have 2 ubuntu installations on the same HDD?
[07:48] <acemeister> yeah
[07:49] <acemeister> the 12.04 ver comes with previous linux versions
[07:49] <auronandace> besTKoDerEverR: yes
[07:49] <jordan__> How can I change the mapping of one letter on my keyboard?
[07:49] <bongsawyer> although I'm stoned from bong tokes I am willing to type ...
[07:49] <jordan__> How can I change the mapping of one letter on my keyboard?
[07:49] <bongsawyer> acemeister: Please try Gentoo if you seek 'optimal performance'
[07:49] <acemeister> just dont spill any bongwater on the keyboard
[07:49] <PapaSierra> jrdnn interesting: http://dpaste.com/768539/
[07:49] <L3top> !ot | bongsawyer
[07:49] <besTKoDerEverR> auronandace, if i install it once again.. will it dual boot?
[07:49] <arcwolf> gentoo = must custom complie everything
[07:49] <acemeister> bongsawyer, im a newbie when it comes to linux and ubuntu is the a better choice for newbs
[07:50] <auronandace> besTKoDerEverR: sure
[07:50] <acemeister> whats so great about gentooo?
[07:50] <L3top> acemeister this is not a gentoo discussion channel.
[07:50] <acemeister> ok fair enough
[07:50] <arcwolf> pm acemeister
[07:50] <acemeister> l3top whats the link
[07:51] <acemeister> you gave earlier to get the mp3 player
[07:51] <acemeister> for ubuntu
[07:51] <auronandace> !codecs | acemeister
[07:51] <L3top> PapaSierra: You probably need to run fsck on the drive.
[07:51] <besTKoDerEverR> auronandace, ok.. ill give it a go :-S
[07:51] <besTKoDerEverR> thanks
[07:52] <auronandace> besTKoDerEverR: no worries, you may need to rerun grub update to pick up the other install
[07:52] <Kartagis> what file shows me my dns servers in 12.04?
[07:52] <cool_code> acemeister, in terminal 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[07:52] <arcwolf>  /etc/resolve.conf?
[07:53] <L3top> Kartagis: /etc/resolv.conf
[07:53] <L3top> no e
[07:53] <besTKoDerEverR> auronandace, huh? .. will they be aware of each other or what?
[07:53] <arcwolf> <- loves the bash
[07:53] <arcwolf> TAB
[07:53] <Kartagis> no, that file shows <IP_ADDRESS> as of 12.04
[07:53] <L3top> Kartagis: editing of this file has been depreciated. If you make changes they will revert. It goes in a subfolder... if that is what you had in mind.
[07:54] <besTKoDerEverR> auronandace, i was thinking of making a new partition in the HDD..
[07:54] <auronandace> besTKoDerEverR: yes, the newest one installed will overwrite grub
[07:54] <Kartagis> L3top: actually, what I had in mind was what file to edit to change nameservers
[07:55] <jrdnn> Rartagis: resolv.conf
[07:55] <L3top> Kartagis: yes... /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head     will write them to resolv.conf... weird... but works.
[07:55] <Kartagis> thanks L3top
[07:56] <L3top> np
[07:56] <L3top> Kartagis: they want you to use the resolvconf tool to do this.
[08:03] <besTKoDerEverR> auronandace, ok thanks.. lets try this..
[08:04] <Rickardo1> My ubuntu server suddenly start to consume a lot of cpu with mysqld... when I restart it 3 new instances started directly and using up to 100% .. what can cause this.. I have no load on the httpdserver. http://d.pr/i/kvUi
[08:04] <morzan> hello
[08:05] <arcwolf> Rickardo1: does it go down after a few seconds?
[08:05] <Rickardo1> arcwolf: no
[08:05] <jrdnn> morzan_: Hi. !ask
[08:05] <morzan_> !ask?
[08:06] <morzan_> any real people here?
[08:06] <arcwolf> no
[08:06] <crazygirl> i want to install temes permanantly in ubuntu 12.04 then i want to make live boot cd so when i use that live boot cd there should be my theme how to do that
[08:06] <morzan_> anybody wanna talk? Specifically about ndiswrapper? I can't get it to work with my netgear card :P
[08:07] <killown> libGL.so.1: classe ELF errada: ELFCLASS64 OMG its on 12.04
[08:08] <crazygirl> any volountear is here?
[08:08] <crazygirl> who can solve my problem
[08:08] <morzan_> anybody know about ndiswrapper wanna help me?
[08:08] <L3top> crazygirl: dial it down a notch. Check out remastersys.
[08:08] <morzan_> what's remastersys?
[08:09] <crazygirl> i use remastersys no problem with live boot..problem is when i creat live boot cd it come with ubuntu theme not ne which i installe
[08:09] <L3top> It is a tool to create your own live distro. It basically takes your system and lets you create a live CD from it fairly easily.
[08:09] <morzan_> sweet
[08:10] <morzan_> I've always wondered, I'm running a dualboot Win7/Ubuntu setup right now. Is there any way to boot my hard install of windows inside ubuntu, or vice versa, basically so I don't have to restart my whole machine just to access my other OS
[08:10] <L3top> !remaster | these are other solutions, but I like remastersys.
[08:10] <jrdnn> morzan_: VirtualBox or Xen?
[08:11] <mavericksam> Suggest channel for ubuntu-ldap related doubts ...... :)

Mi pc no tiene dvd drive así que hice un usb stick con el universal usb installer pero no hace nada más que mostrarme la primera linea que sólo dice SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 C
[08:11] <L3top> crazygirl: what specifically are you trying to change?
[08:11] <jrdnn> mosk: !es
[08:12] <L3top> !es | mosk
[08:12] <mosk> Nobody is there...

[08:13] <morzan_> how do I find the right .inf driver for ndiswrapper for my wireless card?
[08:14] <mosk> No. The usb stick just says syslinux 4.06... peter anvin et al
[08:14] <mosk> And no moee

[08:14] <tokadora> hi, I have no sound in my ubuntu 12.04 OS, any pointer?
[08:15] <tokadora> s?
[08:15] <jrdnn> tokadora: Uninstall pulseaudio maybe?
[08:15] <L3top> mosk: how did you get this iso onto the usb drive?
[08:15] <L3top> jrdnn: why would that be your advice?
[08:16] <jrdnn> L3top: Had lots of audio problems on Ubuntu fixed by getting rid of pulseaudio
[08:16] <L3top> tokadora: can you open alsamixer? And how are you connecting to what sort of audio device?
[08:16] <mosk> Using universal usb istaller and downloading different iso
[08:16] <tokadora> jrdnn, I've tried 'killall pulseaudio' and it didn't fix it
[08:16] <tokadora> L3top I can open alsamixer, and nothing is muted
[08:17] <tokadora> sorry I don't understand the 2nd question. How am I connecting to what?
[08:17] <tokadora> I don't know what my audio device is. I'm not very knowledgeable about computers
[08:17] <L3top> HDMI spdif analog USB
[08:17] <L3top> amplifier, tv, headphones... etc
[08:17] <L3top> What kind of cable are you connecting to what that makes noise tokadora?
[08:18] <cntb> will ever pulseaudio serve well skype? skype 4 same mic problem
[08:18] <tokadora> L3top oh, I have speakers plugged in. Upon bootup, at the BIOS, there is sound as the Intel logo appears, so it's physically connected
[08:18] <L3top> tokadora: can you please pastebin the output of : sudo aplay -l
[08:19] <mosk> L3top Using universal usb istaller and downloading different iso
[08:20] <tokadora> L3top I got this: Home directory /home/(name) not ours
[08:20] <vampirnata> Loshki: Thanks for the tip, cron script works great.
[08:20] <Vamp898> Hi, when i try to start a Java Application on my 64bit Ubuntu System i get the following error: Running a 64-bit JVM is not supported on this platform.
[08:20] <vampirnata> type uname -a
[08:20] <vampirnata> what does it say?
[08:21] <Vamp898> vampirnata: 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[08:21] <vampirnata> and java --version?
[08:21] <L3top> what iso mosk?
[08:21] <vampirnata> sorry, java -version
[08:21] <Vamp898> vampirnata: java version "1.6.0_30"
[08:21] <L3top> tokadora: I do not understand how what I gave you could possibly produce that.
[08:22] <Vamp898> vampirnata: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_30-b12)
[08:22] <Vamp898> vampirnata: last but not least: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.5-b03, mixed mode

[08:23] <vampirnata> Vamp898: I think you may need to install Java 64bit
[08:23] <tokadora> L3top I copied and pasted the command
[08:23] <tokadora> I don't know why I got that output
[08:23] <Vamp898> vampirnata: i installed default-jre, isnt that a 64bit package
[08:23] <tokadora> I'll come back tomorrow, I
[08:23] <tokadora>  gotta sleep
[08:23] <vampirnata> Vamp898: I believe that's 32bit
[08:23] <L3top> sudo aplay -l        tokadora?
[08:24] <vampirnata> Vamp898: default is 32bit.
[08:24] <L3top> ok night.
[08:24] <L3top> mosk... can you try putting 1204 on the usb drive with unetbootin?
[08:24] <Vamp898> vampirnata: so the default JRE on a 64bit System is a 32bit? is there any 64bit package in the repository?
[08:24] <cntb> will ever pulseaudio serve well skype? skype 4 same mic problem
[08:25] <mosk> I'm gonna try
[08:25] <vampirnata> Vamp898: not sure, but if you download the jre-6u16-linux-x64.bin and then run sudo ./filename it should install the x64
[08:25] <L3top> cntb: this is not a clear question... first of all...
[08:26] <cntb> how t chanke from pulseaudio to alsa mixer and does it solve mic issue in skype?
[08:26] <Vamp898> vampirnata: yeah but then its not tracked by dpkg. In a company environment that would mean no longer supportet by Canonical. Does companies dont need a 64bit Java Package?
[08:26] <sveinse> I'm running nvidia drivers off ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates-precise PPA, and recently (with driver 302.17) I have serious problems using both nvidia-settings and disper. They control some of the display aspects but not all. Is this familiar to anyone?
[08:27] <vampirnata> Vamp898: I don't know to be honest. I know if you install the JDK you get the 64bit jre. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[08:27] <vampirnata> Vamp898: But I'd advise using OpenJDK instead L(
[08:28] <Vamp898> vampirnata: openjdk-7-jdk is installing right now ;)
[08:28] <vampirnata> unless you have a specific need to use the Sun/Oracle Java
[08:29] <__Hayes__> Hello all :)
[08:29] <chrisward> anyone have any clue as to why I can connect to a remote samba server running ubuntu, but it seems no one else can?
[08:29] <vampirnata> chrisward: no one else on the same network?
[08:29] <__Hayes__> I have a little issue with ppa, I cannot add any key ubuntu 12.04
[08:29] <Vamp898> vampirnata: update-alternatives did not updated the java symlink (but all others), but by doing that by hand it works now. I thank you
[08:30] <vampirnata> Vamp898: my pleasure :)
[08:30] <L3top> I have no idea if it would "fix" skype cntb, but you can sudo apt-get remove pluseaudio... However I am not sure that everything will be particularly fond of this change. A LOT of people use skype, and pulse is installed by default... I am not sure this is the correct solution. Instead why dont you try sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[08:30] <chrisward> vampirnata, it's connections accross the internet, server's in france, I'm in australia and connect fine, there are other people on entirely separate networks who cannot connect. I am not using a VPN etc.
[08:31] <L3top> __Hayes__: what is the PPA and how are you trying to add the key?
[08:31] <vampirnata> chrisward: is this your samba server ?

[08:35] <__Hayes__> Sure, L3top :') thanks for your time.

[08:36] <vampirnata> chrisward: maybe the router is also blocking those ips
[08:36] <chrisward> the router of the client or server?

[08:36] <mosk> Nop:(
[08:36] <chrisward> online portscans show it's refusing connections

[08:37] <chrisward> hi simen
[08:37] <L3top> __Hayes__: can you open your network manager and go to proxy, and see if you have a proxy server set, unset it?
[08:38] <mosk> now is 4.03 2010-10-22...peter...
[08:38] <juan-carlos> Good evening, How do I format my pendrive in ubuntu studio?
[08:38] <vampirnata> chrisward: you sure they don't just allow access from your ip?
[08:38] <chrisward> vampirnata, I wouldn't imagine so, as I installed SMB myself
[08:38] <juan-carlos> Please

[08:40] <pn> this needs to be settled by combat
[08:40] <mosk> L3top now is 4.03 2010-10-22...peter...
[08:40] <vampirnata> chrisward: I assume you're giving another username to these other people?
[08:40] <L3top> That does not change the fact that you are fattening my log with smiley faces while I am trying to help people SimenOlai. Please stop typing unless you have a support question, or solution.
[08:41] <vampirnata> chrisward: are you allowing those users in smb.conf
[08:41] <SimenOlai> Sorry
[08:41] <chrisward> vampirnata, yes, though they never make it to the password prompt; connection refused
[08:41] <vampirnata> chrisward: that sounds like a firewall problem

[08:42] <L3top> Havent forgotten you __Hayes__.
[08:43] <mosk> I'm use the same iso image on the past .ubottu.
[08:43] <__Hayes__> Thanks.. I was actually trying to figure at Google, and google isn't helping me much.. :'(
[08:44] <L3top> __Hayes__: something has set a proxy. I am just trying to figure out where that is set so we can go in manually and gut it.
[08:44] <maybefbi> What is the type of h in State monad instance here: http://hpaste.org/71124 ?
[08:44] <mosk> In fact the same usb work fine in other pc
[08:44] <Asad2005> this is the second time that i come to resume my pc from suspend and it fails to resume and had to power off and on, where can i see the log of what has happend or is that not possible
[08:45] <L3top> mosk: then I would suggest looking at your bios settings. Perhaps this is a UEFI issue
[08:46] <L3top> Asad2005: you could look at /var/log/syslog and dmesg.
[08:46] <mosk> I'm looking
[08:50] <L3top> __Hayes__: can you please type env | grep -i proxy           and tell me if there is an htttp proxy there?
[08:51] <__Hayes__> L3top:  yes its there!
[08:52] <__Hayes__> http_proxy=http://localhost:4001
[08:53] <L3top> __Hayes__: well the temporary fix is to: export http_proxy=                 but it is probably being defined each boot in .bashrc so why dont you do that... add your gpg key, and I will brb
[08:54] <L3top> __Hayes__:  grep -i "proxy" ~/.bashrc
[08:57] <__Hayes__> L3top: I used export http_proxy=
[08:58] <__Hayes__> and tried to get the key but again same thing..
[08:59] <__Hayes__> and grep -i "proxy" ~/.bashrc   returns nothing...
[08:59] <decci> I have a dell server with 8 number of 8GB DIMMs and 4 number of 16GB DIMMs.The Dell BIOS throws "unsymetrical Memory Configuration error" . I find that numactl recommends the performancewise Memory allocation ? Any idea how numactl does that?
[09:00] <cibesco> ciao
[09:01] <cibesco> !list
[09:02] <Jihui_Choi> I have a vps server and I think I made mess. How can I make clean without reinstalling OS? It has 12.04
[09:03] <L3top> ok __Hayes__: unset http_proxy
[09:03] <fidel> Jihui_Choi: finding out what you might call a mess is the first step
[09:04] <fidel> if you dont want to reinstall - then fixing is the way to go - therefor try to understand what is broken - therefore start by describing what issues you really have (would be my way)
[09:05] <Jihui_Choi> fidel: well.. I installed many packages and test many things. So I just want to make clean all. back to the beginning. :)
[09:05] <Anomie21> Anyone else finding Pidgin really buggy in ubuntu? (Can't access the buddy list at times, the menu bar stops working, etc)
[09:05] <Jihui_Choi> fidel: I understand what you said, but at this moment.. it's too hard to remember and figure out
[09:05] <hpuser4455> My ubuntu 12.04 corrupted after installing games from the repo.  First file-roller's fonts messed up, then system fonts.  Then it failed to reboot.
[09:06] <hpuser4455> Is there a way to recover the base system files so I can reboot?
[09:07] <__Hayes__> L3top, How do i do that?
[09:07] <L3top> Jihui_Choi: cd /var/log/apt    look through your history, and sudo apt-get uninstall the things you do not want.
[09:07] <hpuser4455> I installed 12.04 via the non-pae mini cd with lxde desktop.
[09:08] <fidel> Jihui_Choi: and what do you expect now?
[09:08] <L3top> __Hayes__: exactly like that. unset http_proxy
[09:08] <fidel> you are not willing to do a clean install - nor willing to start messing around?
[09:08] <ikonia> hpuser4455: you will need to reinstall
[09:08] <fidel> option 3 - pay someone & let it be fixed by him ;)
[09:08] <ikonia> hpuser4455: if you have lost/corrupted files.
[09:08] <geirha> hpuser4455: sounds odd that a game package would do that. The symptoms somewhat resembles what happens when you fill the root fileystem
[09:09] <L3top> Jihui_Choi: sudo apt-get remove   not uninstall... dont know where my head is this morning.
[09:09] <hpuser4455> geirha..ok..will check my hd space.
[09:09] <__Hayes__> L3top:  did that, do I need to reboot?
[09:09] <L3top> no __Hayes__
[09:09] <Jihui_Choi> fidel: I think I need something like time-machine. anyway I'm gonna follow L3top's advice
[09:09] <__Hayes__> L3top: It doesn't work, same message again...
[09:10] <L3top> __Hayes__: in fact, rebooting will probably bring this env variable back into existence. Figuring out WHAT is setting that will be the next chore
[09:10] <Jihui_Choi> thank you both of you :)
[09:10] <fidel> Jihui_Choi: timemachine wouldnt help either - if you dont know the moment to restore
[09:10] <fidel> Jihui_Choi: advice for the future- consider using some kind of VM for testing things
[09:10] <fidel> keeps your main station/box clean and makes you way more flexible
[09:10] <fidel> good luck
[09:11] <L3top> __Hayes__: sudo -s      login and unset it again. then type exit. Though I would expect sudo would simply carry over your current env... I cannot see how this is still occurring. geirha would know though :P
[09:11] <Jihui_Choi> fidel: yeah I should've.. actually I did, but now my vps is dirty. I don't know why though
[09:12] <geirha> __Hayes__, L3top: By default, sudo will ignore most env variables, including http_proxy. You have to specifically tell it to pass it on via sudoers
[09:12] <hpuser4455> my hd is 18% full.  Can i simply re-install the base system while keeping my installed apps?
[09:13] <hpuser4455> so when i re-install, it will overwrite the corrupted packages and keep the rest.
[09:13] <L3top> geirha: the problem is... that a proxy has been set, somewhere... and I am trying to get it unset so he can do what he needs to do with regards to a gpg add... then try and figure out what is setting it... and stop it.
[09:13] <ikonia> hpuser4455: no, it will re-install the whole OS
[09:13] <geirha> hpuser4455: how full your harddrive doesn't necessarily say how full the root partition is
[09:14] <__Hayes__> i did with sudo -s and unset it and same result.
[09:14] <hpuser4455> geirha..actually sda2 which is ubuntu's root is 18%..so plenty of space, according to df -a
[09:15] <L3top> geirha: <__Hayes__> ?: invalid HTTP proxy (http://localhost:4001 ): bad URI      <L3top>__Hayes__: can you please type env | grep -i proxy           and tell me if there is an htttp proxy there? <__Hayes__>  http_proxy=http://localhost:4001
[09:16] <geirha> hpuser4455: Ok, then I'd try to get into the system and run dpkg --configure -a  to reconfigure all packages that haven't been configured yet. Might help. If not, I'd consider trying dpkg-reconfigure -a too. The latter reconfigures ALL packages, so it'll take quite some time.
[09:17] <geirha> __Hayes__: does this output anything?  sudo env | grep http_proxy
[09:17] <__Hayes__> geirha: I doesn
[09:17] <__Hayes__> *t
[09:17] <geirha> __Hayes__: Then that proxy might be set in apt's config
[09:18] <__Hayes__> that means?
[09:18] <L3top> geirha: ok __Hayes__: unset http_proxy       so I would expect it to be gone now...
[09:18] <geirha> __Hayes__: grep -i proxy /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*
[09:18] <L3top> sorry that was my post to him... and then me saying I expect it is gone now geirha.
[09:19] <__Hayes__> geirha: nothing
[09:20] <geirha> Hm. Out of ideas then...
[09:20] <L3top> __Hayes__: go ahead and reboot. When you come back we will env | grep -i proxy      again.
[09:20] <__Hayes__> L3top: okay.
[09:21] <vak> hi all
[09:21] <wolverine> hello
[09:21] <coolroot> L3top i used to do apt-get update before and works fine...but now i got this error W: failed to fetch blah blah blah :( but when doing sudo apt-get update it works....how can i fix it?
[09:21]  * ThomasBoxley is away: Away
[09:22] <wolverine> coolroot: check your etc sudoers ;ist
[09:22] <wolverine> list*
[09:22] <L3top> ummm... then you did something you weren't supposed to coolroot. You should not have ever had permission to apt-get update without sudo.
[09:22] <coolroot> wolverine i'll try thanx
[09:22] <wolverine> user might have been removed from the list
[09:22] <wolverine> cool
[09:22] <wolverine> let me know if it works
[09:23] <vak> I have to use GPT partition (large partition is need for RAID) and I cant get my non-efi BIOS to load Ubuntu 12 from the disk.
[09:24] <vak> boot-repair says "GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again."
[09:24] <__Hayes__> L3top: I am back.
[09:24] <__Hayes__> they are back again...
[09:24] <L3top> they? ftp and http or more?
[09:25] <vak> but I've created a 2MB unformatted partition with label bios_grub, what I am doing wrong?
[09:25] <__Hayes__> http_proxy UBUNTU_MENUPROXY and HTTP_PROXY
[09:25] <__Hayes__> L3top: ^
[09:26] <L3top> aha... welll that is why it wasnt working... you have two http proxies set... you only gave me lower case. Again, figuring out what is setting those is going to be a bit of a chore.
[09:27] <L3top> __Hayes__: unset http_proxy; unset HTTP_PROXY
[09:27] <geirha> __Hayes__: grep -i proxy ~/.profile ~/.pam_environment /etc/profile /etc/environment
[09:27] <__Hayes__> L3top: yes, I did that...
[09:28] <JaymesKeller> Hi, I'm having trouble with installing Ubuntu with my Asus M4N75TD motherboard in AHCI mode. When I attempt to boot a live USB, it hangs on startup, and unfortunatly, I do not see any useful error messages. I have tried a BIOS update, but all that did was fix a APCI error. Are there any solutions avalible to try? As a side note, I have attempted "noahci", but it doesn't help.
[09:29] <__Hayes__> geirha: /etc/environment:HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:4001 # +ANON_MARK+
[09:29] <__Hayes__> geirha:  +ANON_MARK+ Don't change this while anon-proxy manages this variable.
[09:30] <haylo> JaymesKeller, not every usb or dvd one makes always works, i would keep trying. But try a different medium ie: different usb, different technique for putting it on usb
[09:30] <L3top> JaymesKeller: change bios sata mode to ide?
[09:30] <__Hayes__> geirha: /etc/environment:HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:4001 # +ANON_MARK+
[09:30] <__Hayes__> /etc/environment:http_proxy=http://localhost:4001 # +ANON_MARK+
[09:30] <geirha> __Hayes__: Ouch, better use a pastebin for long pastes
[09:31] <JaymesKeller> L3top: I have attempted running the install in IDE mode, and it still seems to sulk.
[09:31] <geirha> __Hayes__: Anyway, something called anon-proxy has added that to your /etc/environment. I've never heard of it, but if you don't use it anymore, it should be safe to remove it form /etc/environment
[09:31] <haylo> JaymesKeller, some bios have "OS install mode disable/enable" look for something like that, and make sure you have boot priority set so usb is at least included
[09:32] <IlikeMoose> has anyone ever had any problems with rhythmbox screwing with their cd-rom drive?
[09:32] <__Hayes__> geirha: I cannot install any utility/program/anthing via apt-get it just gets to 0% [waiting for headers] and stuck at it..
[09:34] <geirha> __Hayes__: Well, sounds like you've run this anon-proxy thing at some point, but apparently not anymore, or it's faulty, so remove or comment out those lines. sudoedit /etc/environment
[09:34] <L3top> __Hayes__: that is the reason... edit /etc/environment  and hash out/remove all of those http_proxy lines
[09:34] <JaymesKeller> haylo: Boot priority is on, but I don't see an install mode in the BIOS.
[09:34] <haylo> JaymesKeller, also try putting the iso onto the usb directly with cat or dd. all those pen drive tools get kind of iffy
[09:34] <JaymesKeller> haylo: I haven't considered that. I will give it a try.
[09:37] <__Hayes__> geirha: L3top problem resolved...
[09:37] <__Hayes__> Thanks for your time and help...
[09:37] <Aritz> anyone know similar things like DROPWATCH in ubuntu
[09:39] <fidel> Aritz: maybe try to ask for functions - not names
[09:39] <fidel> !anyone
[09:40] <IlikeMoose> is rhythmbox a good program to use or should i find something else to use for my audio?
[09:40] <Aritz> ya function i mean
[09:41] <gigix> IlikeMoose: it's a question taste, there's plenty of audio player just pick one, try it, pick another one, try it, and choose :-)
[09:41] <fidel> IlikeMoose: users do define good - personaly i dislike it and heavily prefer clementine - but thats just my choice and i bet 100 users inhere will give you 100 other views ;)
[09:42] <IlikeMoose> rhythmbox seems to be bugging out on my cd-rom drive
[09:42] <IlikeMoose> it'll spin the disc up then won't eject it
[09:42] <Aritz> 1info dropwatch
[09:42] <gigix> IlikeMoose: if what you're looking for is feedback, then I am personally satisfied with rhythmbox, but also like clementine for its UI
[09:42] <Aritz> !info dropwatch
[09:42] <L3top> !poll | which is why this is a factoid
[09:43] <IlikeMoose> i installed audacious since it has the old winamp interface which i love and it hasn't crapped out on me yet hopefully
[09:43] <gigix> IlikeMoose: so stick with it then...
[09:44] <IlikeMoose> sorry for the idiocy, i just installed ubuntu tonight and i'm just starting to get used to it from windows
[09:46] <KM0201> audacious is one of the better music players on linux IMO... under rated for sure
[09:46] <KM0201> i've kinda grown fond of Rhythmbox however.
[09:48] <IlikeMoose> i'm running this on a pentium4 with HT on an old hp compaq and rhythmbox really hates my cd-rom drive
[09:49] <IlikeMoose> plus it wouldn't play my playlist file from di.fm when i tried to get it to play
[09:52] <L3top> IlikeMoose: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[09:53] <haylo> IlikeMoose, rythmbox is a suck program. if you need a gui for music use clementine. or play from command line
[09:53] <haylo> or just use vlc, for movies and music. your time fooling with GUIs will be better spent on vlc
[09:54] <haylo> it is a much more profeesional and protable tool
[09:54] <haylo> portable*
[09:55] <IlikeMoose> L3top, i think i solved my support problem by uninstalling rhythmbox
[09:58] <L3top> Well... welcome to Ubuntu IlikeMoose... but this is why polling is not allowed here, because you get a bunch of people arguing about the thing they like/dislike... and when it is active, it makes it REALLY annoying to scroll through to get info to help people. Chit chat etc should happen in #ubuntu-offtopic. Like I said, not a big deal atm... but still not allowed.
[09:59] <IlikeMoose> L3top,  sorry i didn't know
[10:00] <L3top> just an fyi. Like I said... its no skin off my nose since its dead... but even dead there are approaching 2000 people in this room. If 1/10th of them gave an opinion, it would be unreadable.
[10:04] <david__> what is a server?  how do i know if i downloaded the server version of ubuntu or the desktop version?
[10:04] <Nuclear-muffin27> I lost a file but still have it somewhere how do i find it i need it?
[10:05] <haylo> can you search for it nautilus Nuclear-muffin27 ?
[10:05] <haylo> that used to be ubuntus default file manager
[10:05] <Nuclear-muffin27> haylo, nautilus?
[10:06] <Nuclear-muffin27> how do i searc for it?
[10:06] <haylo> yeah, your file manager is called nautilus, it has a search feature that is very robust
[10:06] <Nuclear-muffin27> *search
[10:06] <Nuclear-muffin27> how do i use it?
[10:06] <L3top> david__: what is the name of the iso you downloaded?
[10:06] <haylo> just open the file manager and look for the search box. you will be in in nautilus when looking at your home folder etc. .
[10:06] <david__> terribly sorry for my ignorance, but i don't even know what an iso is
[10:07] <Nuclear-muffin27> the appication compiz just closed what do i do?
[10:07] <Nuclear-muffin27> send error report?
[10:07] <Nuclear-muffin27> i just relaunched it
[10:07] <L3top> david__: The file you download to burn to a cd/usb drive. Ubuntu. The file you downloaded.
[10:08] <Nuclear-muffin27> s ohow do i use it to search?
[10:08] <qbitza> Hi guys, I stuffed my USB drive
[10:08] <L3top> Nuclear-muffin27: there is a box that says search there. Type what you are looking for, and hit search. It is fairly self explanatory.
[10:08] <david__> where do i find the name of my iso?
[10:08] <qbitza> I formatted the primary partition with ExtFS4, but didn't update the partition table type
[10:08] <L3top> Where did you download it to david__?
[10:09] <Nuclear-muffin27> L3top, in dash?
[10:09] <david__> a cd
[10:09] <L3top> david__: no. You had to download it before you put it on a cd.
[10:10] <david__> oh, sorry.  it must have been in windows.......
[10:10] <qbitza> So afterward I did that and now I can't access the partition anymore
[10:10] <qbitza> Helppp, please!
[10:10] <haylo> qbitza, what partitioning tool are you using ?
[10:10] <qbitza> No superblocks can be found :(
[10:11] <Nuclear-muffin27> L3top, do i seach in dash?
[10:11] <qbitza> I used the disk manager (GUI) to update
[10:11] <david__> is there an easy way to find the name without going back into my windows downloads?  i would have to restart my computer to do that, thereby negating the effectiveness of this chat session
[10:11] <qbitza> haylo, I also tried diskscan (?)
[10:12] <L3top> Nuclear-muffin27: in dash you can type nautilus... in nautilus there will be a magnifying glass in the upper right corner... click it... type the file you are looking for... hit search.
[10:12] <haylo> david__,   uname -a   will give you your kernel, maybe that is what you need ?
[10:12] <L3top> david__: The server version of the OS would also probably say it was server.
[10:13] <L3top> david__: in the install menu that is
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> Nuclear-muffin27  mind: there's also the channel #ubuntu-beginners
[10:13] <qbitza> haylo, is my data lost? Should I just reformat and move on?
[10:13] <haylo> qbitza, is that partitioner named gparted ? im on a very minimal ubuntu intsall here
[10:14] <Nuclear-muffin27> L3top, its not there but i had it somewhere its also not in trash
[10:14] <david__> thanks L3top......
[10:14] <haylo> qbitza, what data is on the usb ? yeah when you changed the pertition table, you unlinked all the data
[10:14] <L3top> Nuclear-muffin27: what is the name of the file you are looking for?
[10:14] <qbitza> haylo, sorry no it's "Disk Utility" (c) Red Hat
[10:15] <qbitza> haylo, crud
[10:15] <qbitza> haylo, backups, photos, movies ...
[10:15] <Nuclear-muffin27> L3top, well i changed the name dont know what happend i changed name and it was gone
[10:15] <haylo> qbitza, in the future, keep your partition table intact, think of that as the very begining pages of the book
[10:15] <qbitza> haylo, not stuff I want to lose, esp. the photos
