[10:58] <The-web-fox> arabic
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> !arabic
[10:58] <The-web-fox> it is free?
[10:59] <hydrox24> The support?
[10:59] <The-web-fox> No one there
[11:00] <hydrox24> hold on then
[11:00] <The-web-fox> There is support Afezl, but not solve the problem
[11:02] <upstart> I read the blog on how to save iptables permanently. There are 2 options - I am not sure which I should choose. One using Network Manager the other does not. Which should I use
[11:02] <ksbalaji> I have problem with pendrive. Tried fsck says: Unable to create unique name and quits. Help
[11:03] <The-web-fox> help
[11:03] <hydrox24> The-web-fox: Unfortunately it looks like your GPU is a little on the old side.
[11:04] <hydrox24> Linux is all for supporting old hardware, but on the flipside NVIDIA isn't.
[11:04] <The-web-fox> yes but why 640*460
[11:04] <The-web-fox> i nead 1024*800
[11:04] <hydrox24> so you'll need to remove the drivers and stick to the default drivers
[11:05] <The-web-fox> How?
[11:05] <hydrox24> NVIDIA drivers do not support fx5200
[11:05] <The-web-fox> 173 driver
[11:05] <hydrox24> Are you using 173 driver?
[11:05] <The-web-fox> yes
[11:06] <zyphex> Does anyone know of a good software solution for captive portal/hotspot billing?
[11:06] <sina2> Hey, I before in windows used https proxy with username and password by proxifier, I try proxychains in ubuntu  but it doesn't support https, what do u suggest?
[11:06] <The-web-fox> iI've used all the Drivers, and not wok!!!
[11:06] <hydrox24> OK, then it should work.
[11:06] <mang0> The-web-fox: I was using a good ole nVidia GeForce FX5200 up till last week :)
[11:06] <hydrox24> Do you need help changing resolution?
[11:07] <hydrox24> mang0: Be careful, hist english isn't great so don't confuse him with unneeded chatter (sorry to be harsh)
[11:07] <The-web-fox> yes, There is no choice of 1024*800
[11:07] <mang0> hydrox24: Oh okay, I didn't realise, :)
[11:07] <mang0> hydrox24: Perhaps he should use xrandr
[11:08] <hydrox24> That should be a last resort after we've tried the more traditional avenues
[11:08] <The-web-fox> ؟
[11:09] <mang0> hydrox24: I guess. When using Openbox though, I always use xrandr -s....in autostart.sh. But ah well, try GUI methods first :)
[11:09] <hydrox24> The-web-fox: Can you open nvidia-settings
[11:10] <The-web-fox> Done so
[11:10] <The-web-fox> the he sey un like root
[11:11] <The-web-fox> and Done so
[11:11] <kristenbb> can someone help me with warnings I get regarding apt-get ?
[11:11] <astran> Hello, I vave some trouble with my VIA unichrome S3 Graphic Card. How could I set the OpenChrome driver. Here is my Xorg log : http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-108262
[11:11] <The-web-fox> but naw 640*460
[11:11] <mang0> kristenbb: what warnings?
[11:11] <fidel_> kristenbb: any paste of the warning?
[11:11] <kristenbb> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/restricted amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages)
[11:11] <hydrox24> The-web-fox: there isn't and option for 1024*800?
[11:11] <kristenbb> four of them like this.
[11:11] <fidel_> kristenbb: do you understand the error?
[11:12] <mang0> kristenbb: It's saying that there are duplicates in sources.list (the file where all your package names and ppas etc are stored). I think.
[11:12] <The-web-fox> after the installation the definition, no
[11:12] <kristenbb> fidel_: I think I do. Yet 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq -d' produces no output, which is unexpected.
[11:13] <hydrox24> The-web-fox: run "xrandr" and see if 1024*800 is listed.
[11:13] <The-web-fox>  after the installation the driver, no
[11:13] <kristenbb> kristenbb: also, this is a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04. I didn't do much.
[11:13] <The-web-fox> ok
[11:14] <kristenbb> so how to make these warning disappear?
[11:14] <kristenbb> warnings*

[11:16] <ksbalaji> any help with pendrive mounting?
[11:16] <hydrox24> !ask | ksbalaji
[11:17] <ksbalaji> OK better luck next time for me. -bye friends!
[11:18] <mang0> hydrox24: Did you see The-web-fox's pastebin? It's 800x600 maximum, even with xrandr O.o
[11:19] <hydrox24> The-web-fox: I highly recommend simply uninstalling nvidia drivers, they are currently buggy and unfortunately, because they are proprietary (close-source) it's up to nvidia to fix them.
[11:19] <hydrox24> just remove the drives.
[11:19] <hydrox24> *drivers.
[11:20] <hydrox24> gtg, good luck!
[11:20] <The-web-fox> Such as Linus, fuck you nvidia :)
[11:20] <robin> anyone willing to help with my Ubuntu issue?
[11:21] <bekks> !ask | Guest89896

[11:21] <MonkeyDust> robin = Guest89896 ?
[11:21] <fidel_> asking followed by rename isnt that perfect btw ;)
[11:21] <bekks> MonkeyDust: Yes.
[11:21] <mang0> * robin is now known as Guest89896 MonkeyDust
[11:23] <Guest89896> my desktop icons don't work: anytime I press them it says "Failed to execute a program /usr/bin/Thunar: Success"; I changed from Thunar to Nautilus
[11:25] <mang0> Guest89896: Try changing it to link to Thunar without a capital T?
[11:25] <fidel_> Guest89896: have you checked if thunar exists/is installed on your box?
[11:25] <The-web-fox> help
[11:25] <fidel_> The-web-fox: dont just cry for help
[11:25] <fidel_> !ask > The-web-fox
[11:26] <kristenbb> so what can I do about my apt-get warnings ? I tried checking whether there were multiple entries in sources.list, but apparently uniq -d says there aren't.
[11:26] <The-web-fox> I have offered my problem already
[11:27] <fidel_> The-web-fox: just crying for help afterwards will for sure not result in help either. so consider having paticnece or posting a resume which gives an overview about all relevant problem related informations ;)
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> The-web-fox  repeat your question from time to time, but not too often
[11:29] <Guest89896> my desktop icons don't work: anytime I press them it says "Failed to execute a program /usr/bin/Thunar: Success"; I changed from Thunar to Nautilus
[11:29] <fidel_> Guest89896: as answered before  - have you checked if thunar itself exists on your computer?
[11:29] <njaxx> The-web-fox:  If your trying to reset your GFX, have you tried renaming the xorg.conf file and rebooting? Will clear out any stuck settings.
[11:30] <fidel_> Guest89896: and it should be most likely /usr/bin/thunar not Thunar

[11:33] <admin_> hi all this message is to test the XChat software that i install it on windows, plz conform it :)
[11:33] <fidel_> admin_: ping
[11:33] <ThePendulum> admin_: I hear you!
[11:33] <admin_> thanks all :)
[11:33] <pozic> After a kernel upgrade, I suddently get a black screen and not even ssh is working anymore.
[11:33] <ThePendulum> Dammit I wish the AMD graphics driver didn't screw up my start-up display
[11:34] <njaxx> admin: I didn't get your message - think you have a prob  ;-)
[11:34] <pozic> ThePendulum: I seem to have the same.\
[11:34] <admin_> :)
[11:34] <pozic> A root shell works fine.
[11:34] <admin_> njaxx ; :)
[11:35] <pozic> But the moment I let it boot fully, even in X safe mode, it still doesn't work.
[11:35] <ThePendulum> pozic: Doesn't seem to be Ubuntu-only though, Windows shows an ugly 640px loadscreen as well
[11:35] <pozic> Can someone tell me how I can boot it such that I get a working ssh session?
[11:36] <njaxx> admin_: I didn't get that one either?  Must be a Windows problem?  ;-)
[11:36] <ThePendulum> pozic: I don't think it's the same issue. You really can't get a display at all, if I understand correctly. Mine is just ugly during boot
[11:36] <pozic> ThePendulum: I didn't install a new driver, but I think I got a kernel upgrade.
[11:36] <admin_> njaxx : :)       :)
[11:37] <ThePendulum> pozic: Are you sure the system's on and booted to the right drive?
[11:37] <pozic> How can I boot it with only ssh?
[11:37] <ThePendulum> You do not have physical access to the machine?
[11:37] <admin_> njaxx : i need to update my lenovoB570e BIOS is this save form my PC ?
[11:37] <pozic> ThePendulum: physical access without networking on that machine is not something I count as physical access.
[11:38] <admin_> coz i never did that befor
[11:38] <ThePendulum> pozic: I mean you can't touch the machine?
[11:38] <pozic> ThePendulum: I can touch the machine.
[11:38] <ThePendulum> You can't (re)boot it manually?
[11:38] <pozic> ThePendulum: I can also do that.
[11:38] <sulaiman> Hello
[11:38] <ThePendulum> pozic: How far do you get?
[11:38] <ThePendulum> During boot
[11:38] <pozic> ThePendulum: it's just not very convenient to write down commands on paper.
[11:38] <pozic> ThePendulum: it completely boots.
[11:38] <ThePendulum> And then?
[11:39] <animus123> somebody help?
[11:39] <pozic> ThePendulum: then I can do Control-Alt-F1 and login.
[11:39] <admin_> i need to update my lenovoB570e BIOS is this save ?
[11:39] <ThePendulum> Okay
[11:39] <sulaiman> Is there any open source alternative to dream-weaver that I can use to map links to images?
[11:39] <pozic> ThePendulum: then one second after logging in, it switches to some other graphical mode and it is stuck,
[11:39] <ThePendulum> sulaiman: On a website?
[11:39] <pozic> ThePendulum: so, while I can 'log in', it's useless.
[11:39] <njaxx> admin_: BIOS updates usually have a backup and checksum before being commited into the active ROM.
[11:39] <animus123> i need to use downloader?but don't know which!
[11:40] <ThePendulum> pozic: Checked the graphics driver? Can you update it?
[11:40] <pozic> admin_: BIOS updates are never completely safe.
[11:40] <sulaiman> ThePendulum, for a website
[11:40] <pozic> admin_: if you lose power during one, you might have a problem.
[11:40] <sulaiman> ThePendulum, I am looking into KImageMapEditor right now
[11:40] <ThePendulum> admin_: It's riskier than not doing it, but the risk of failure is below 1%
[11:40] <pozic> ThePendulum: I want to update the graphics driver, but for that I need ssh.
[11:41] <pozic> ThePendulum: there are motherboards which have a backup BIOS.
[11:41] <ThePendulum> sulaiman: I'm not quite sure what you could use. I'm a webdeveloper, but I write my own HTML etc.
[11:41] <animus123> please help??????
[11:41] <admin_> okay, and thanks
[11:41] <pozic> admin_: that was for you.
[11:41] <njaxx> The-web-fox: That card is not supported in 12.04.  Are you using 12.04?  Your best off just flushing out that NVidia driver and going for the generic driver - or get a new GFX card.
[11:41] <ThePendulum> pozic: The machine isn't connected to a keyboard and a screen and that isn't an option either, I presume?
[11:42] <pozic> The-web-fox: if you want longevity, buy an AMD card.
[11:42] <pozic> The-web-fox: because by the time it's not supported anymore, there is a decent open-source driver.
[11:42] <animus123> anybody know,the downloader for ubuntu?
[11:42] <pozic> ThePendulum: it's an option, but like I said I need to walk quite a bit of distance to do that.
[11:42] <ThePendulum> pozic: Did you just recommend AMD on the Ubuntu channel?
[11:43] <The-web-fox> no, bye a new pc!!!!!
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> animus123  software center
[11:43] <pozic> ThePendulum: for longevity.
[11:43] <ThePendulum> pozic: If there's no other option...
[11:43] <animus123> MonkeyDust:but the name of downloader?
[11:43] <ThePendulum> pozic: Half the AMD cards (the drivers) don't even work properly on Ubuntu/Linux
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> animus123  'the downloader'?
[11:44] <ThePendulum> Far less issues with the Nvidia drivers, although Linus seems to disagree
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> animus123  to download what, exactly?
[11:45] <admin_> well, the reason why i want to update my BIOS is to make it support booting from SD card, is there other way to do that
[11:45] <ThePendulum> Does anyone know how to make the Pidgin contact list pop-up after it has disappeared?
[11:45] <njaxx> Supported NVidia cards can be purchased for about £30 in the UK - thats really not that much if you don't care about that latest and greatest shiny card.
[11:45] <animus123> MonkeyDust:any file!!
[11:46] <ThePendulum> njaxx: 30 bucks cards don't really add much to the onboard gpu though
[11:46] <njaxx> admin_: SATA to CF or SD adapter?
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> njaxx  'not that much' depends on how much you can afford ;)
[11:47] <Chorin> Hi there
[11:47] <pozic> ThePendulum: what is it? The cards or the drivers?
[11:47] <admin_> njaxx : i will google that
[11:47] <pozic> ThePendulum: what doesn't work according to you?
[11:47] <pozic> ThePendulum: and: do you own one yourself?
[11:47] <njaxx> ThePendulum: It would be considerably more powerful than that FX5200 NVidia series card Web fox is using.
[11:47] <surma> Hey everybody. I got a problem with the ubuntu cloud image. Is this the right channel to ask my question?
[11:47] <Chorin> dammit I knew I should have just asked my question LOL
[11:48] <admin_> oh, sorry.. i get it now - it's an memory SD card :)
[11:48] <Chorin> If anyone wants to put their hand up to help me get a USB 802.11n adapter working I'd really appreciate it
[11:48] <The-web-fox> How do I remove the nvidia driver , and install the open source one? the default one
[11:48] <ThePendulum> pozic: To get them properly installed usually requires the terminal to be utilized, and even then you have to fiddle with things like 'ignore graphical settings' in Chromium etc.
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> animus123  the way you download a file, depends on how it is presented to you
[11:49] <njaxx> The-web-fox:  How about just renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooting?  If you have an issue, rename it back?  That should clear out your card settings and revert you back to generic.
[11:49] <animus123> MonkeyDust:do you know Orbit downloader?
[11:50] <admin_> njaxx : it's memory SD card
[11:50] <The-web-fox> ok
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> animus123  start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what goes wrong
[11:51] <animus123> MonkeyDust:well!!as you wish.i need a download manager for ubuntu!
[11:51] <pozic> ThePendulum: the most important reason why AMD cards don't appear to work is Ubuntu lagging enormously.
[11:51] <pozic> ThePendulum: it doesn't even have the 12.6 driver, right?
[11:51] <admin_> njaxx : i put an ISO on that SD card, and now i want to boot from it
[11:51] <njaxx> admin_:  I have not tried an SD card but I have an ATA to CF adapter and that works fine - I would assume SD can be addressed in the same way with a ATA or SATA to SD adapter?
[11:51] <animus123> MonkeyDust:but i don't know any!
[11:52] <ThePendulum> pozic: It
[11:52] <ThePendulum> pozic: It
[11:52] <ThePendulum> pozic: DAMMIT
[11:52] <ThePendulum> pozic: It's on 8.96 right now
[11:52] <admin_> njaxx : i will try that
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> animus123  you can download from the repos, from websites, use torrents etc
[11:53] <animus123> MonkeyDust:ok friend,i got it's "Gwget".for ubuntu.
[11:53] <pozic> ThePendulum: I am talking about the driver version.
[11:53] <ThePendulum> pozic: That is the driver version...
[11:55] <njaxx> admin_: Just google SATA to SD adapter. There are loads of them for quite cheap costs. The SD card wil appear as a standard SATA drive in your BIOS. However, be aware SD has limited writes so for data use a traditional drive or a solid state designed for this purpose. The SD should be fine for an OS boot partition.
[11:56] <pozic> ThePendulum: no, it's not.
[11:56] <ThePendulum> pozic: How do you know and what do you think it is?
[11:56] <pozic> ThePendulum: the driver version starts with the year in which it was released - 2000.
[11:56] <thevoid> hey folks,  everymorning around this time,  the wireless connection on my computer goes dead,  it reads that its connected but cant send or recieve info.  a quick re-connect fixes everything.   anyone have any ideas?   i checked over my router,  everything seems fine there.
[11:56] <pozic> ThePendulum: you are referring to some other component, but that's not the driver.\
[11:56] <njaxx> admin_: I have sent you a link to an adapter for sale on a large commercial website!
[11:56] <ThePendulum> pozic: 2008 is aa year
[11:56] <ThePendulum> *a
[11:57] <pozic> ThePendulum: ok: let's put it differently: just assume I am right, because I am.
[11:57] <pozic> ThePendulum: if you want to disagree fine, but look yourself to see that I am.
[11:57] <ThePendulum> Tell me how the properly check the driver version
[11:57] <pozic> ThePendulum: go to the amd.com website.
[11:57] <admin_> njaxx : thank its word in virtual box - SD to USB -
[11:57] <pozic> ThePendulum: this is very basic knowledge.
[11:58] <pozic> ThePendulum: you shouldn't advice people if you don't know what you are talking about
[11:58] <ThePendulum> pozic: The AMD website is down
[11:58] <ola8395> hello , my wireless network card isn`t snapped up by network manager , jockey-gtk reports that driver is activated but not in use , so it seems like a conflict , can someone guide me to fix this ?
[11:58] <pozic> ThePendulum: no, it's not.
[11:58] <ThePendulum> It was
[11:58] <ThePendulum> Their *.amd.com DNS is down
[11:58] <pozic> ThePendulum: I agree that it's not stable.
[11:58] <pozic> ThePendulum: but it does work.
[11:59] <ThePendulum> pozic: I'm not saying it doesn't
[11:59] <admin_> njaxx : word = work > sorry <
[11:59] <ThePendulum> All I'm saying is that Nvidia drivers tend to install and run smoother and with less issues
[11:59] <ThePendulum> pozic: Anyway, what do you want me to do on the AMD website?
[11:59] <bekks> pozic: You should not advise people to use unstable drivers which arent even in the repos ;)
[11:59] <pozic> bekks: unstable?\
[11:59] <Chorin> Can someone please help me with this usb wifi dongle? I've gotten so far as to identify the chipset and download the drivers from the Ralink website, but I'm having trouble populating the makefile
[11:59] <pozic> bekks: lol
[11:59] <pozic> bekks: clearly you don't use the drivers.
[12:00] <bekks> pozic: You just said: "I agree that it's not stable."
[12:00] <pozic> ThePendulum: I don't want you to do anything.
[12:00] <bekks> pozic: Thats the reason why I am not using them.
[12:00] <pozic> bekks: yes, and reading comprehension is a skill not everyone has.
[12:00] <ThePendulum> pozic: Then why did you direct me to their website?
[12:00] <njaxx> admin_: You want to boot a virtual machine in Virtual Box using an OS based on an SD card plugged into your USB???  I have no idea if that would work, I assume its something that must be supported in the Virtual Box hypervisor?
[12:00] <pozic> ThePendulum: never mind; I cannot save everyone.
[12:00] <ola8395> really need help with my wireless card , anyone ?
[12:00] <bekks> pozic: you doesnt, too bad.
[12:01] <pozic> bekks: neither are English writing skills.
[12:01] <pozic> bekks: if you want to talk to me, you need to have a certain level of sophistication.
[12:01] <ThePendulum> pozic: How professional to blame someone from Lithuania for his English skills
[12:02] <bekks> pozic: I'm sorry, I wont lower my levels of what so ever for you - this is why I dont want to be hilighted by you anymore. Thank you. Bye bye.
[12:02] <admin_> njaxx : i was testing the SD to USB kit on the VMware and it work for me, i assume it will work for real :)
[12:02] <pozic> ThePendulum: who cares where someone is from?
[12:02] <njaxx> ThePendulum: In my experience, NVidia cards seem to be fine to setup as long as you have a supported card in both the driver and OS. Everything just seems to work.  NVidia fall down with their quiet poor open source support, they are quite closed and you only get the drivers they want you to have.
[12:03] <pozic> ThePendulum: I am not a native speaker either.
[12:03] <pozic> ThePendulum: and, more importantly: I am not trying to be a smartass.
[12:03] <ThePendulum> pozic: You don't blame someone for his language skills if it's not his/her native language, no matter if you're not a native speaker yourself
[12:03] <njaxx> admin_: Yes for real it will be quite slick.  I built a workstation with no moving parts once using a similar method.
[12:04] <pozic> ThePendulum: I only blame smartasses.
[12:04] <ThePendulum> pozic: I understand and respect that, but if you're not trying to be a smartass, please don't sound like one
[12:04] <pozic> ThePendulum: I only give in return the behaviour that was given to me.
[12:04] <ThePendulum> pozic: The fact that you disagree with my driver version yet can't prove me wrong because that's just too lame for you says something
[12:04] <pozic> ThePendulum: no, it just shows you are stupid.
[12:04] <Sidewinder1> ThePendulum, pozic , Shall we move on?.. ;)
[12:04] <pozic> ThePendulum: even Google knows the answer.
[12:04] <ThePendulum> pozic: Thank you. But still, you haven't proven you know the answer yourself
[12:05] <admin_> njaxx : that is what i am trying to do "a workstation with no moving parts"
[12:05] <pozic> ThePendulum: type in "what is the latest driver version for amd graphics drivers?"
[12:05] <Axsuul> Is there any way to run a sudo command in an init.d script?
[12:05] <nag_> hi guys, i have a doubt on debugfs command. i want to recover one file , with google i found this command , i tried but not working . Can some one help me out
[12:05] <ThePendulum> pozic: That wasn't even what I was asking, I was asking and saying what my current version is
[12:05] <pozic> ThePendulum: if Google knows the answer and you don't, it's just a sign of you not being terribly smart.
[12:05] <ThePendulum> Not the latest version
[12:05] <pozic> ThePendulum: and you would still be wrong.
[12:05] <pozic> ThePendulum: how terribly difficult is it for you to understand that?
[12:06] <pozic> ThePendulum: you are wrong.
[12:06] <pozic> ThePendulum: it seems like you have some kind of malfunctioning brain.
[12:06]  * Sidewinder1 Sighs.. :(
[12:06] <pozic> Sidewinder1: I am done.
[12:06] <Sidewinder1> pozic, Thank you.
[12:06] <pozic> I still have the same problem I had when I came in here.
[12:06] <pozic> But apparently nobody has the magic answer.
[12:07] <pozic> I will have to solve it myself, like always.
[12:07] <bekks> The latest amd driver supported in 12.04 is 8.96, everything newer is up to yourself.
[12:07] <njaxx> admin_: Let us know how you get on with your design - write a blog post.
[12:09] <admin_> okay, i hope i make it all work, and i will let you know
[12:09] <pozic> bekks: you sound like a clone account of ThePendulum.
[12:09] <pozic> bekks: because unfortunately, you are wrong.
[12:09] <ThePendulum> Sidewinder1: I hope you may be able to enlighten me and tell me how to properly check the current version of my AMD driver?
[12:09] <gribouille> hi
[12:09] <bekks> pozic: Whatever. Please just refrain of telling people they are wrong just because you dont like their answers. EOD from side.
[12:10] <gribouille> can someone tell me what happens with the following :
[12:10] <gribouille> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use%
[12:10] <gribouille> /dev/loop0             22G   20G   13M 100%
[12:10] <bekks> !paste | gribouille
[12:10] <Sidewinder1> ThePendulum, Not definitively, no, I can not; sorry.
[12:10] <pozic> bekks: please refrain from repeating the same false hoods over and over.
[12:10] <ThePendulum> pozic: You indeed sound a bit like a 3-year old telling everyone they're wrong and retarded without providing them the answer to prove you're right
[12:10] <ThePendulum> Just stop trolling or leave
[12:10] <bekks> pozic: Oh please finally stop it. Thank you.
[12:10] <pozic> Linux has become way too popular.
[12:11] <ThePendulum> pozic: And that
[12:11] <ThePendulum> pozic: *is bad becaaause?
[12:11] <njaxx> gribouille: Thats very strange, are you connected to a SAN or directly attached FC disk array?
[12:11] <bekks> !ot | pozic
[12:11] <pozic> ThePendulum: because it means I have to talk to you and the two others.
[12:11] <gribouille> njaxx, no
[12:11] <pozic> ThePendulum: instead of people who have basic logic reasoning skills.
[12:11] <pozic> ThePendulum: and people who can admit they are wrong and do basic research on their own.
[12:12] <njaxx> gribouille: Internal disk?
[12:12] <gribouille> njaxx, yes
[12:12] <ThePendulum> pozic: If there's someone who doesn't understand the community-concept of Ubuntu, it's probably you. I am going to mute you now because I don't want to get too deep into this epic low level.
[12:12] <pozic> Please stop asking questions for which you won't like the answers anyway.
[12:12] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all.  I've been running Ubuntu for about 2 years and was using KDE added on top and following a new set up standard updates it just "broke" and was pulled from the KDM DE selector.  Any hints on a quick fix?
[12:12] <nag_> hi all, i have a doubt on debugfs command. i want to recover one file , with google i found this command , i tried but not working . Can some one help me out
[12:12] <pozic> ThePendulum: you are an admin here!?
[12:12] <pozic> ThePendulum: lol
[12:12] <ThePendulum> pozic: I can't admit I'm wrong as long as I am not proven wrong. All I'm seeing here is driver version: 8.bla
[12:13] <pozic> ThePendulum: it is 12.6
[12:13] <ThePendulum> pozic: That's the latest version, not my current version
[12:13] <pozic> ThePendulum: and the whole Internet is full of references to that.
[12:13] <ThePendulum> pozic: You don't have to be an admin to mute another person
[12:13] <pozic> ThePendulum: are you saying your version is 4 years old?
[12:13] <njaxx> gribouille: What version of the OS are you running?
[12:13] <pozic> ThePendulum: you are referring to another version.
[12:13] <pozic> ThePendulum: of another component.
[12:13] <ThePendulum> pozic: For what I know at this point, it is. Seriously, you have all right to prove me wrong, but please do so rather than just claiming I am wrong without any reference to fact.
[12:14] <mydogsnameisrudy> ThePendulum:  pozic take it to offtopic
[12:14] <[TK]D-Fender> Currently running 12.04 updated regularly
[12:14] <ThePendulum> pozic: I'm pretty sure the CCC is all about my graphics card
[12:14] <gribouille> njaxx, oneiric
[12:14] <ThePendulum> mydogsnameisrudy: This is Ubuntu-related, I want to check my driver version in Ubuntu
[12:14] <pozic> ThePendulum: The 12.6 one installs a component which has a 8.soomething version.
[12:14] <pozic> ThePendulum: that's all.
[12:14] <ThePendulum> pozic: It took you half an hour to say that?
[12:14] <pozic> ThePendulum: you are just looking in the wrong place and keep repeating that.
[12:15] <pozic> ThePendulum: I wanted to give you a chance to prove you are not a moron.
[12:15] <pozic> ThePendulum: guess you failed.\
[12:15] <ThePendulum> pozic: I do not claim not to be looking in the wrong place
[12:15] <pozic> ThePendulum: I will now put you on my ignore list.
[12:15] <pozic> ThePendulum: talking to you make me sick.
[12:15] <ThePendulum> pozic: All I'd like to know is where to look. I'm quite confident I am not looking in the right place
[12:15] <bekks> Could some please stop him from insulting people again and again?
[12:15] <Myrtti> pozic, ThePendulum: can you please move the meta discussion elsewhere, this is not support discussion anymore
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> guys! know when to stop!
[12:15] <njaxx> gribouille: I think you may have a reserved 2GB of disk space for root.  Thats why your disk is reporting 100% full.
[12:16] <ThePendulum> Myrtti: Oh, so now wanting to know my driver version is not a support discussion? :\
[12:16] <gribouille> njaxx, how can I verify this?
[12:16] <mz|`> gribouille: df -hm
[12:16] <m1chael> im trying to apt-get install jackd qjackctl on xubuntu 12.04 and im getting not found errors: http://dpaste.com/775669/
[12:16] <mz|`> df -i
[12:16] <mz|`> to inspect 1/ space 2/ inodes left
[12:17] <mz|`> m1chael: apt-get update before apt-get install
[12:17] <admin_> brb
[12:17] <gribouille> mz|`, there are 8.8M free inodes
[12:17] <m1chael> mz: okay ill try that :)
[12:17]  * mz|` &
[12:18] <njaxx> gribouille: I'm just checking, 2 secs..... working on GPRS here.
[12:18] <ThePendulum> Let me ask it in public: Does anyone know how to check what graphics driver version I'm running right now?
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  try lspci|grep VGA (that's in capitals)
[12:19] <mz|`> ThePendulum: lsmod then find your module, then dpkg -l | grep driver_module or <driverprogram> --version
[12:19] <mz|`> MonkeyDust: he will find the hardware name, not the driver version
[12:19] <bekks> lspci -k
[12:19] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: That'll give me the driver/card name, but not the version. mz|` know right
[12:19] <mz|`> bekks: +1
[12:20] <ThePendulum> Thanks, but that still won't inform me about the specific version of the driver I'm running... let me try mz|`method
[12:21] <mz|`> ThePendulum: what card do you have ?
[12:21] <ThePendulum> mz|`: Radeon 8850
[12:21] <ThePendulum> *6850
[12:21] <mz|`> so : fglrx -v
[12:22] <ThePendulum> mz|`: I assume I have to install fglrx then?
[12:23] <mz|`> you may want too if it is needed. but if your card works as is, you may have a VESA/standard compatible driver already.
[12:23] <mz|`> s/too/to
[12:23] <bekks> ThePendulum: apt-cache policy fglrx
[12:23] <rajumoh> ThePendulum: dude open package manager and have a look at the version of fglrx.
[12:23] <bekks> ThePendulum: And the list of files of the 8.96... packages clearly contains source files for version 8.96
[12:24] <bekks> rajumoh: apt-cache policy fglrx ;)
[12:24] <gribouille> what does "Reserved block count" mean for a file system?
[12:24] <gribouille> what are the "Reserved blocks" used for?
[12:25] <bekks> gribouille: That that amount of blocks is reserved for root usage only.
[12:25] <ThePendulum> I wonder why the CCC can't just display this information
[12:25] <mz|`> for FS indexes too
[12:25] <bekks> gribouille: The benefit is, nobody besides root can fill up the filesystem to 0 inodes left, which makees it impossible to delete things again.
[12:25] <guampa> bekks, ThePendulum: fwiw, i use Gallium, and "glxinfo | grep renderer" returns my driver name and version, might work too with fglrx
[12:26] <rajumoh> bekks: well , thats a better ans for sure .. but was getting a bit pesky with seeing that name in the channel ..
[12:26] <bekks> guampa: I never dealt with gallium, sorry.
[12:26] <TimothyA> how do I enable SFTP in the latest ubuntu?
[12:26] <guampa> bekks: sorry, i meant that the command "glxinfo | grep renderer" might work with fglrx too
[12:26] <gribouille> bekks, is it possible to modify the number of reserved blocks?
[12:27] <ThePendulum> guampa: Just the card name/series for me
[12:27] <guampa> ThePendulum: oh, ok
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> TimothyA  when you ssh, you will see the remote drive as SFTP in Nautilus
[12:28] <bekks> gribouille: When having an ext2|3|4, yes, using tune2fs
[12:28] <TimothyA> MonkeyDust: unfortunately, it keeps giving me authorization errors
[12:28] <TimothyA> just logging in with ssh works, just not sftp
[12:28] <njaxx> gribouille: sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/loop0    (That would move the reserved blocks to 1 percent)
[12:29] <jrib> TimothyA: how are you trying exactly?
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> TimothyA  ssh-keys?
[12:29] <TimothyA> MonkeyDust: passwords at the moment
[12:29] <gribouille> njaxx, ok, I'll try it
[12:30] <TimothyA> a bunch of tutorials ask for "Subsystem sftp internal-sftp" while I have it on default on other systems where it works just fine
[12:31] <njaxx> gribouille: Let me know if this works for you.
[12:34] <TimothyA> it would be nice if this thing worker consistently across multiple versions...
[12:34] <AlphaWolf> Hi. I'm new to command line interfaces, and after installing something through "sudo apt-get install" I not longer have the part at the start of line (the "session"? e.g. user@server:~$). What have I done wrong/how can I correct this?
[12:35] <fidel_> hi - i upgraded several 10.04 lts boxes today to 12.04 - 1 seems to have lost its nameserver sessings - i assume based on the resolv.conf change
[12:35] <TimothyA> ....and suddendly, IT WORKS
[12:35] <gribouille> njaxx, ok, there is more free space now
[12:35] <fidel_> if i see it right we are supposed to not edit /etc/resolv.conf anymore - could someone point me to some instructions regarding resolvconf configuration?
[12:36] <Alopex> Hello! How to completely remove and install postgres 9.1? (with all the databases and stuff)
[12:36] <Alopex> reinstall*
[12:36] <njaxx> gribouille: Thanks for the feedback.
[12:37] <fidel_> Alopex: random guess - using apt - most likely how you installed it aswell in the first place
[12:37] <Alopex> fidel_ : Shouldn't i do --purge or something? Just apt-get uninstall postgres-9.1?
[12:38] <fidel_> Alopex: yes - general apt usage
[12:38] <rajumoh> njaxx, gribouille, bekks : any repercussions on changing number of reserved blocks ?
[12:38] <gribouille> my file system is stored in a file and mounted with the -o loop option. the file size is 24G. I used resize2fs to allow the file system to use the whole file. why does df report that the file system size is only 22G?
[12:38] <bekks> Alopex: You have to purge, and you have to manually remove the datafiles afterwards.
[12:38] <bekks> rajumoh: I am using 0.1% for reserved blocks :)
[12:39] <Alopex> bekks: Okey thank you!
[12:39] <njaxx> rajumoh: I would probably not let it go less than 100MB of reserved space..... so 1 percent of 22GB should be fine.
[12:41] <njaxx> gribouille: The discrepancy was caused by reserved space.
[12:41] <bekks> njaxx: Impossible :)
[12:42] <ssta> gribouille: they're the blocks reserved for root owned files.  Basically it's so that a user can't fill the disk and so take the system down
[12:42] <ssta> hmm, mega jumplag...
[12:42] <njaxx> ssta: Good answer - wish I could explain it that clearly!
[12:42] <Alopex> just one more quiz, about postgres, where should be the data files? i checked .postgresql/9.1/ and it was empty already...
[12:42] <gribouille> njaxx, ssta : does the 'Size' of df output include the reserved size?
[12:43] <bekks> gribouille: It is the overall size.
[12:43] <njaxx> gribouille: It already has reserved space deducted from the percent free.  Hence why 100% full even though you appeared to have 2GB free.
[12:44] <bekks> But the root reserve is 5% by default, not 10%...
[12:45] <njaxx> bekks: Unless someone had altered it on that system previously?
[12:45] <ssta> it's not uncommon for some admins to reserve more space on / than 5%.  Especially if /tmp is on /
[12:46] <Afroksilanthi> omg
[12:46] <Afroksilanthi> all bot is here?
[12:46] <Afroksilanthi> hahahahaha
[12:47] <T_H_X> beep
[12:47] <Afroksilanthi> screens is full that network
[12:47] <Afroksilanthi> hahahahahaha
[12:47] <Afroksilanthi> omg
[12:47] <Afroksilanthi> lag
[12:47] <Afroksilanthi> full
[12:47] <chu> !enter | Afroksilanthi
[12:48] <rajumoh> cool, but i heard somewhere that this reserved partition acts "like a swap" space for disk io operations and reduced reserved space might effect  io performance
[12:48] <Afroksilanthi> !enter   what
[12:48] <Afroksilanthi> !enter  screens
[12:48] <Myrtti> Afroksilanthi: did you have a Ubuntu related problem or a question?
[12:48] <gribouille> can someone explain the following : device size=24G; df says Size=22G, Used=20G, Avail=995M, Use%=96%; I've set the percentage of reserved blocks to 1%
[12:48] <gribouille> ?
[12:48] <Afroksilanthi> no i go out
[12:48] <rajumoh> definately on red bull
[12:49] <Jezzz> anyway to get a usb flash drive to not require you to click try ubuntu each time it boots?
[12:49] <bvleur> Hi. My ubuntu server is showing a 100% CPU load for the "/sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" process. What should I do?
[12:49] <bvleur> Rebooting does not help
[12:49] <njaxx> rajumoh: Thats the first I have heard about that. Reserved space is purely to keep the file system up in case a user fills the disk.
[12:50] <njaxx> gribouille: Try calculating in blocks, not GiB or GB.  You might be seeing a rounding issue.
[12:50] <rajumoh> njaxx: ok .will have to check my reference :-( .
[12:51] <njaxx> rajumoh: Its a bit like a DoS attack protection.  A user filling the disks to max could take them offline.... but you have reserved some space so that can't happen and the file system stays up even if a user tries to bring it down.
[12:51] <geirha> gribouille: df -H shows the size in GiB, the one saying 24G probably showed it in GB. 24 GB = 22.35 GiB
[12:52] <geirha> err, I mean 24.00 GB = 22.35 GiB
[12:52] <Jonii> Anyone know if I could, on my laptop, get f1-f12-keys perform their fn-function(say, fn+f11 is to make system volume go down), without pressing fn key(so I can just press f11 to make volume go down)
[12:52] <njaxx> geirha:  I agree with your statement.
[12:53] <Jonii> I don't even know how to google for solutions to this problem
[12:53] <namelezz> jonii: what laptop?
[12:53] <Jonii> Asus Zenbook UX31E
[12:53] <gribouille> geirha, and ls -l?
[12:54] <geirha> gribouille: also base 2
[12:54] <bekks> gribouille: ls -l list bytes.
[12:54] <njaxx> ok, bye everyone I have to go out now.  Bye!
[12:54] <geirha> Ah right, well ls -lh
[12:54] <thevoid> hey folks,  everymorning around this time,  the wireless connection on my computer goes dead,  it reads that its connected but cant send or recieve info.  a quick re-connect fixes everything.   anyone have any ideas?   i checked over my router,  everything seems fine there.
[12:55] <gribouille> with df -H, the numbers are 23G    22G   1.1G  96%
[12:55] <namelezz> jonii: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Keyboard_functions_.28Brightness.2Cvolume.2C....29
[12:55] <geirha> gribouille: And where did the 24G come from?
[12:56] <gribouille> geirha, ls -l <file>, where <file> is the name of the file containing the file system
[12:56] <Jonii> namelezz: all those worked right out of the box for me
[12:57] <geirha> gribouille: Well then, the difference is the size the filesystem uses
[12:57] <bekks> ls -l displays Bytes, not GB or whatever.
[12:57] <Jonii> So attempting bug fixes for problems I don't have seems dangerous and unnecessary
[12:57] <bekks> ls -lh displays GB if necessary.
[12:57] <gribouille> geirha, for what?
[12:58] <namelezz> jonii: ohh, you meant without pressing fn... in the keyboard settings you can set some key shortcuts
[12:59] <geirha> gribouille: Metadata, journal, that kind of stuff
[12:59] <gribouille> ok
[13:00] <namelezz> jonii: but i wouldnt do it, it can cause conflicts
[13:04] <Jonii> is there a way to flip them, so that f1-f12 can't be invoked without fn-key, and the default function is that volume up, down, mute, screen brightness up, down, wlan on, off, etc
[13:04] <jrib> Jonii: yes, umm I forget the tools name though... maybe pommed
[13:04] <jrib> Jonii: never mind, I thought you were on a mac.  Ignore me
[13:08] <rajumoh> njaxx: sorry, was away , but yeah i get the reasoning now ..
[13:13] <timini> whats the default email deamon used in ubuntu?
[13:14] <Blazemore|Work> Postfix https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html
[13:14] <llvllatrix> I have a story I'd like to share, along with a warning. Getting Ubuntu fully functional on a Macbook Pro is painful...
[13:15] <Blazemore|Work> What didn't work llvllatrix ?
[13:15] <llvllatrix> I decided to format my Macbook Pro at work with Linux and call the new computer glados. My server virtual machine was named space-module and for kicks, my windows machine was called wheatley.
[13:15] <llvllatrix> Not even 48 hours after the install, glados goes insane when I try to install the proper Nvidia drivers for graphics and takes out the entire system, less recovery mode. I backup space-module and wheatley to one of several hard disks and try for recovery.
[13:15] <llvllatrix> About half a day into recovery I diagnose glados as a lost cause, reach for my new Ubuntu cd and reassemble the system. Then I try to boot into wheatley and space-module only to find that they're unbootable.
[13:15] <llvllatrix> I decide screw it, I'm booting them from scratch to, and delete wheatley and space-core only to realise that the only problem was that the files were read only...and I've misplaced the hard drive they're on. So they're lost in space somewhere and glados is fully operational...
[13:15] <llvllatrix> I'm now rebuilding wheatley and space-core and I'm sticking with the old names on principle; I'm a rational person and these names shouldn't make the computers misbehave...but glados, if you decide to pull more shit, I'm swapping your battery with a potato.
[13:15] <tking> hello guys, i hv a text file somewhere in drive how can i find all files containing the word "James" uses grep or any command to do it?
[13:16] <xcervo> llvllatrix: your're writing too fast
[13:16] <judg3> Writing extremely fast.
[13:17] <llvllatrix> Blazemore: I'm fairly certain it's an EFI issue, but at this point I don't really care. Booting with stock Ubuntu 12.04 gives me a fairly stable X, minus the Nvidia drivers.
[13:17] <rajumoh> tking: grep -R "James" *
[13:17] <Blazemore|Work> tking: grep -r "texthere" /path/to/directory
[13:17] <geirha> tking: Do you know what any part of the filename will be? (will shorten the search time)
[13:17] <ssta> tking: grep -Rl James /* (but it will take a LONG time)
[13:17] <Blazemore|Work> or find /path/to/directory | xargs grep "texthere"
[13:17] <tking> geirha, the extension i know
[13:18] <tking> geirha the extention is .cpp
[13:18] <geirha> find . -type f -name "*.cpp" -exec grep -Fl 'James' {} +
[13:18] <geirha> tking: ^ will search recursively from the directory you're currently in
[13:18] <llvllatrix> It seems on some Macbook Pro 7,1 the nvidia drivers work fine. On others it'll take down your entire system. It's hit or miss.
[13:18] <Blazemore|Work> find / -name '*.cpp' -exec grep -Fl "texthere" {} +
[13:18] <Blazemore|Work> geirha: lol
[13:20] <Jonii> is there a way to flip them, so that f1-f12 can't be invoked without fn-key, and the default function is that volume up, down, mute, screen brightness up, down, wlan on, off, etc

[13:24] <shrey> Blazemore|Work: no dos … sometimes we get too many request from same IP. Basically rogue crawlers
[13:25] <Jonii> Blazemore|Work: tried, didn't work out. There was no setting for that. My bios is American Megatrends, Inc

[13:39] <ola8395> can someone help me with my broadcom wireless which doesnt work well with ubuntu , it uses the wrong driver  as the connection is much slower than in windows , i`ve tried following guidelines from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1928241 and blaclisted modules but no luck
[13:41] <judg3> I would like to make sure I got this right, I am trying to load a command at boot, is it just "echo '/usr/bin/synergyc' >> /etc/rc.local"?
[13:42] <compdoc> judg3, you can just edit /etc/rc.local   too
[13:42] <violinappren> judg3: add this to "Startup Applications"... not rc.local
[13:42] <arulmozhi> i have downloaded blender3D[http://www.graphicall.org/805] but it requires some shared libraries. when I exec ./blender it tells it need libtiff.so and libpng15 one by one. how to know wat are the all dependencies at same time
[13:43] <Blazemore|Work> Any reason you are using the upstream binary?
[13:43] <Blazemore|Work> There is a Launchpad PPA available which provides Ubuntu packages and automatic dependency resolution
[13:43] <violinappren> judg3: and this is wrong anyway, you have to manually edit the file and add a command before the "exit" line
[13:43] <Blazemore|Work> arulmozhi: http://www.unixmen.com/201204-blender-2-63-has-been-released-ppa-ubuntu/
[13:44] <arulmozhi> Blazemore|Work: "automatic dependency solution" wat is it?
[13:44] <judg3> Violinappren: so echo'ing the command in won't work?
[13:44] <violinappren> arulmozhi: sudo apt-get install blender
[13:44] <Blazemore|Work> sorry, I mean when you use the Ubuntu repository to install it, it will also install all those dependencies for you
[13:44] <violinappren> judg3: it will mess up your rc.local
[13:44] <arulmozhi> I need some features that not provided thro repository build
[13:45] <arulmozhi> so Ihave downloaded the latest build(think so)
[13:45] <violinappren> !ppa | arulmozhi
[13:45] <judg3> violinappren: Oh the joy's of it all. I'll write it in manually then. Thanks
[13:45] <violinappren> judg3: sudo nano /etc/rc.local
[13:46] <Blazemore|Work> arulmozhi: The PPA in the link I posted has the latest version
[13:46] <treaver> Could you guys help me
[13:46] <violinappren> !details | treaver
[13:47] <arulmozhi> ubottu: i have installed it from ppa. but it lacks some features I require... they are like nightly builds i need them to works... is there any way to install them by hand one by one
[13:47] <judg3> violinappren: then place it above the exit line and that should run it on boot?
[13:47] <Blazemore|Work> arulmozhi: Why not install blender from the PPA, which will install the dependencies. Then you can run your binary
[13:48] <violinappren> judg3: yes, at the end of the boot sequence.. but you should put it in Startup Applications not in rc.local so that it runs as a normal user not as root
[13:48] <Blazemore|Work> treaver: what do you need help with
[13:48] <treaver> My name is Treaver, I just installed Linux on my desktop because my friend told me it would work and because I wanted to try it forever. But I have a wpn3100 wireless usb stick. I have found a tutorial to install it but I can't install Wine and Nkidswrapper or whatever it's called
[13:48] <Fah> arulmozhi: if you're not willing to install from the ppa, use ldd to see what libs are linked to. Install those. It's annoying to do, but it works.
[13:49] <arulmozhi> Blazemore|Work, : I have installed it from PPA too
[13:49] <violinappren> judg3: though you won't be able to use it to login
[13:49] <treaver> I need help installing Wine and Wrapper without an internet connection
[13:49] <treaver> Unless I can use this laptop im on to transfer files
[13:49] <arulmozhi> Fah: ldd usage
[13:49] <violinappren> !ndiswrapper | treaver
[13:50] <Blazemore|Work> OK treaver you want to run sudo apt-get clean on a machine with an Internet connection
[13:50] <treaver> I'm on windows on my sisters lapptop
[13:51] <Fah> arulmozhi: there's a man page, but also this might help. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LibraryArchives-StaticAndDynamic.html
[13:51] <judg3> violinappren: It's in startup applications, thanks for you assistance :)
[13:51] <treaver> Blaze
[13:51] <Blazemore|Work> Sorry treaver I'm not sure
[13:51] <violinappren> judg3: you're welcome
[13:52] <Blazemore|Work> I don't think that's your main problem though: why doesn't the laptop have an Internet connection?
[13:52] <treaver> Could you run the command and send me the files?
[13:52] <tin_> join /#ubuntu
[13:52] <Blazemore|Work> If you're planning to install a wireless driver for Windows through Wine, know that it won't work
[13:52] <treaver> The laptop has an internet connection but not ubuntu installed
[13:52] <Blazemore|Work> What packages are you trying to install?
[13:52] <treaver> Should I install ubuntu on it for temp
[13:52] <violinappren> treaver: solutions out of a windows machine are not supported here
[13:52] <treaver> alright standby installing ubuntu on this machine
[13:52] <Blazemore|Work> violinappren: treaver They are by me. What packages are you trying to install
[13:53] <Blazemore|Work> treaver: YOu don't need to install it, just use a liveCD
[13:53] <Blazemore|Work> Then run sudo apt-get -d packages
[13:53] <Blazemore|Work> And copy the .deb files out of /var/cache/apt/archive
[13:53] <treaver> ok blaze
[13:53] <treaver> let me boot into the cd
[13:53] <Blazemore|Work> Then you can install them on another system, as long as it's the same Ubuntu version
[13:53] <treaver> and come to the page if the wifi works
[13:53] <violinappren> Blazemore|Work: no on this channel, take it on pm if you want to support windows
[13:53] <treaver> blaze
[13:53] <treaver> Do you have Skype?
[13:54] <Blazemore|Work> I'm at work treaver
[13:54] <treaver> You are at work? :O
[13:54] <sl3ax> Can anyone tell me how to reinstall or repair whole gstreamer packages? when i load totem it returns: totem: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libtotem.so.0: undefined symbol: gst_message_parse_buffering_stats, when i load istanbul, instead, /usr/bin/python: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10/gst/_gst.so: undefined symbol: gst_date_time_get_type
[13:54] <pb> hence | work
[13:54] <treaver> you are sooooo cool dude I wish I could get on this page at work!!@@!
[13:54] <treaver> brb
[13:54] <Blazemore|Work> "This page..."
[13:54] <Blazemore|Work> This is IRC
[13:55] <sl3ax> so i think that is gstreamer, if anyone can help me, i will be happy.
[13:55] <violinappren> sl3ax: have you installed anything outside official repositories ?
[13:55] <Peter8784> how can a website be accessible from domain name but not ip ?
[13:55] <sl3ax> violinappren: no
[13:56] <violinappren> Peter8784: it's called name-based virtual hosts, read apache2 docs
[13:56] <watchy> hi
[13:57] <Blazemore|Work> Peter8784: I have multiple websites on one server. If someone typed in just the IP, how would it know which website to display?
[13:57] <Blazemore|Work> So, Apache virtual hosts
[13:58] <watchy> guys help how can i delete a file where permission is denied
[13:58] <Peter8784> meaning, the 'host' field of http is used, right ? Is there any other solution besides that ?
[13:58] <sl3ax> violinappren: i've these pkgs of gstreamer http://paste.ubuntu.com/1111954/
[13:58] <Blazemore|Work> Peter8784: Why would you want to?
[13:58] <Fah> just be aware name based hosting wont work with ssl
[13:58] <beni> watchy, sudo -s
[13:58] <pb> watchy, sudo rm
[13:58] <Blazemore|Work> watchy: You need to have write permissions on the file in order to delete it, you can use sudo rm to delete the file as root
[13:58] <Blazemore|Work> But be careful what you do as root
[13:59] <violinappren> sl3ax: reinstall them, sudo apt-get install --reinstall package_names_here
[13:59] <Treaver_> ubuntu is loading off my sisters laptop.. 3 computers in 1 room...
[13:59] <sl3ax> violinappren: i've already tried first, but nothing!
[13:59] <Treaver_> It is just stuck loading :/
[14:00] <Treaver_> yay it starting up
[14:00] <pb> watchy:  would be sudo -rm /path/filename
[14:00] <Blazemore|Work> Treaver_: Bear in mind it's a bit slower running off the CD.
[14:00] <Peter8784> thanks, problem solved.
[14:00] <Treaver_> blaze can you take us to a private msg
[14:01] <Treaver_> so I can see just u
[14:01] <pb> watchy: caps apply
[14:02] <pb> if you are not part of the sudoer group you have to su to one that is. then sudo it from there.
[14:03] <hij1nx> Hi i have a question about installing upstart -- I used `apt-get install upstart` but can not find the binary to execute it...
[14:03] <watchy> pb what if its  a directory
[14:03] <violinappren> hij1nx: why would you install it, it comes installed by default
[14:04] <hij1nx> violinappren: it didnt appear to be on the machine
[14:04] <violinappren> hij1nx: what ubuntu version are you using?
[14:04] <hij1nx> violinappren: Linux 2.6.31-21-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 24 08:47:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[14:05] <violinappren> hij1nx: whats the output of: lsb_release -a
[14:05] <watchy> how can i delete a dir where access is denied

[14:06] <hij1nx> violinappren: https://gist.github.com/3182220
[14:07] <violinappren> hij1nx: this version of ubuntu is no longer supported, upgrade to a newer supported version
[14:07] <hij1nx> violinappren: what is the best way to upgrade my distro via ssh?
[14:08] <pb> watchy what violinappren is saying is grab sudo privileges then run the -rm (remove) command with -fr (force, recursive) options then the path. so ~/home/Watchy/Directorys name here..
[14:08] <watchy> violinappren what can i do now?
[14:08] <violinappren> !upgrade | hij1nx
[14:08] <pb> that will FORCE it to remove everything in that directory
[14:08] <hij1nx> violinappren: thanks man!! :)

[14:09] <day> why isnt ubuntu switching to a rolling release system?
[14:09] <violinappren> day: because it's too much of a headache to maintain for a "casual user"
[14:09] <auronandace> day: if you want rolling release then you don't want ubuntu
[14:09] <violinappren> day:  try running debian testing/sid or arch linux
[14:10] <Erwyn> day: it's not the philosophy, enjoy archlinux wich is really good also, but it's not the same constraints
[14:11] <Blazemore|Work> Linux Mint Debian tastes like Ubuntu and is rolling
[14:11] <day> violinappren: i can see why it might be harder to manage the sources. but why should it be harder for the "enduser"?
[14:11] <Erwyn> day: when a base software is deeply changing
[14:12] <Erwyn> day: some things are required to be done manually
[14:12] <violinappren> day: because the system WILL break due to major package upgrades
[14:12] <violinappren> day: and the user has to manually fix it
[14:12] <Erwyn> day: then start your nightmare if you're a "basic" end-user
[14:13] <tin_> is archlinux easy to install?
[14:13] <bekks> tin_: Ask in #archlinux :)
[14:13] <Erwyn> tin_: quite yes
[14:13] <violinappren> tin_: /join #archlinux
[14:13] <tin_> thx
[14:13] <Erwyn> tin_: but you need some knowledges
[14:14] <pb> adobe came out with an update of their pdf for windows 7.. ubuntu expect any update anytime soon? in any case, know of how I can get highlights or sticky notes for 12.04?
[14:14] <violinappren> pb: ask adobe :)
[14:15] <pb> got their number?
[14:15] <pb> =)
[14:15] <rajumoh> i bet tin_ looks at the installation manual of arch and goes "F#$% this" :-D
[14:15] <violinappren> pb: this is ubuntu support channel  :)
[14:15] <Erwyn> rajumoh: don't be a troll I used it for long time
[14:15] <pb> i support ubuntu.. : does ubuntu offer plugins for adobe such as highlighter or notes?
[14:15] <violinappren> rajumoh: not appropriate  and #offtopic
[14:16] <pb> guess I can google that.
[14:16] <violinappren> rajumoh: feel free to migrate to gentoo or openbsd, it's all free software
[14:16] <subz3r0> frEEbSD :>
[14:17] <day> violinappren: i thought in a defined environment like ubuntu it might be possible to keep it stable
[14:18] <violinappren> day: a rolling release is by definition NOT stable.. stable implies somewhat aging, well tested software
[14:18] <Erwyn> day: it is not, see archlinux if you want rolling. We don't say it is bad, we say, it's not the definition of easy to use so not the definition of ubuntu
[14:19] <pb> im pretty stable. infact if something breaks its completely reversible. infact minus a few restarts for updates and what not. you never have to shut it off.
[14:19] <day> Erwyn: its not about wanting it. its about wondering why they dont use it. it has alot of advantages. thats why im curious
[14:19] <rajumoh> Erwyn, violinappren : ok, may be was a bit judgmental on the guy;s abillity and certainly off topic, but if you think u find something interesting you just go ahead with installing it, asking its hard and all dones not make sense.
[14:19] <violinappren> day: new releases of software has new bugs and regressions.. thats a fact of life that no amount of quality assurance can eliminate it completely
[14:20] <Erwyn> rajumoh: agree
[14:22] <exalt> hello i own a lenovo thinkpad w520, just installed a fresh version of ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
[14:22] <exalt> but it wont boot
[14:22] <day> violinappren: well my plan wasnt to use the bleeding edge stuff arch and co put in their repositories :P but ur right ofc.. i guess the lack of manpower makes it impossible
[14:23] <audrianore> Hello, can anybody help me, please?
[14:23] <violinappren> day: try debian testing, it might be what you're looking for
[14:23] <audrianore> I got a problem with my wireless network MAC address here.
[14:23] <violinappren> !details | audrianore
[14:24] <audrianore> Take a look at my question, please. http://askubuntu.com/q/168422/64580
[14:24] <Guest13120> i just installed my iHRIS an when i lonch the website it give me the following erros iHRIS fantal erro an on the secon page: MDB2 Error: not found on the third page:Could not connect to the database
[14:24] <day> violinappren: o0 debian testing is basically ubuntu. why should i try that?
[14:24] <audrianore> I can't change my MAC address.
[14:25] <subz3r0> audrianore, dunno why you want to do that. there is no reason to do that in normal cicrumstances...^^ anyway.. the driver doesnt "like" it
[14:25] <day> violinappren: well ok you could call it rolling for a while :P
[14:25] <violinappren> day: not its not, it's a relatively stable rolling release version of debian
[14:25] <auronandace> audrianore: a mac address isn't meant to be changed
[14:25] <ndee> anyone knows a quicker image resizer than imagemagick? (for the console)
[14:25] <Blazemore|Work> ndee: Quicker as in processing time, or easier to use?
[14:26] <ndee> Blazemore|Work, quicker in processing time
[14:26] <Luceo> audrianore: Try gnu macchanger
[14:26] <Luceo> wfm, ymmv
[14:26] <violinappren> audrianore: network manager gui has an option to change the mac address
[14:26] <audrianore> auronandace, yes I know. I was un-carefully changing it, but it always return errors.
[14:27] <audrianore> Luceo, I'm using that one.
[14:27] <Luceo> audrianore: You have to bring ip link down before changing it
[14:27] <day> violinappren: if i install testing? does it stay testing forever? i thought at one point it gets freezed _> stable. or does my installation stay testing forever?
[14:27] <subz3r0> audrianore, like i mentioned before. The Driver does not like it
[14:27] <azulsoljah_w> how can i get the list of pending updates? 'apt-get update' doesn't list them
[14:28] <subz3r0> Luceo, if you would have read his given url, u would know that he already did that
[14:28] <Luceo> nvm then
[14:28] <subz3r0> and once again, not all drivers like it that the mac is beeing changed..
[14:29] <ndee> Blazemore|Work, graphicsmagick mogrify looks kinda fast
[14:29] <audrianore> subz3ro, yea maybe you're right. Though the chipset is unknown here.
[14:30] <audrianore> Luceo, I'm not connected with my wireless device. I disabled it first.
[14:30] <Antaranian> hi
[14:30] <subz3r0> connected != interface up
[14:30] <violinappren> day: you may freeze it or continue using the testing sources, join #debian for details
[14:31] <Antaranian> just installed ubuntu 12.4 on my Alienware m17x, have issues with some controllers and drivers as multimedia keys, sounds, and lights
[14:31] <day> violinappren: sry we got a little offtopic here. anyways thanks for your help
[14:31] <subz3r0> audrianore, anyway, first check which chip is used in that nic... then use the proper driver for it
[14:31] <audrianore> violinappren, my MAC address in network manager gui isn't changed at all.
[14:31] <stseguridad> help  me!! please!
[14:31] <Antaranian> can you point me to a source where can I get drivers or any instructions on that ?
[14:32] <subz3r0> Antaranian, maybe you want to use "dmesg" @terminal
[14:32] <Guest13120> i just installed my iHRIS an when i lonch the website it give me the following erros iHRIS fantal erro an on the secon page: MDB2 Error: not found on the third page:Could not connect to the database
[14:32] <Guest13120> help
[14:32] <audrianore> subz3ro, it's a wireless device, but known as eth1 instead of wlan0
[14:32] <Guest13120> help me
[14:33] <Guest13120> please some one help me on this
[14:33] <subz3r0> audrianore, that doesnt matter.. how its called.... you have to know the chip first. then check for different drivers
[14:33] <Luceo> audrianore: I'm not sure. I just do: ip link set wlan0 down && macchanger -c && ip link set wlan0 up
[14:33] <Luceo> I think
[14:33] <BluesKaj> Guest13120:  just ask your question
[14:33] <subz3r0> you can use ndiswrapper too, but if im right why u want to change that... ndiswrapper wont work for you
[14:34] <Guest13120> i just installed my iHRIS an when i lonch the website it give me the following erros iHRIS fantal erro an on the secon page: MDB2 Error: not found on the third page:Could not connect to the database
[14:34] <subz3r0> audrianore, you can check which card it is with" dmesg"
[14:34] <subz3r0> without the quotes ofc
[14:34] <Luceo> audrianore: I assume you're changing it to abuse a free wifi service with a trial? :P
[14:34] <pb> ^ ;)
[14:34] <audrianore> subz3ro, I got the driver installed. My wireless device is still working, tho. What do you mean "check for different drivers"?

[15:11] <myst3rious> hi, how do I have applications show up on the Unity dock when I click the "start button", for lack of a better work?
[15:11] <myst3rious> *word
[15:11] <centrelink> myst3rious: I believe it's called the "dash"
[15:12] <myst3rious> alright, how do I get them to show up on the dash?
[15:12] <centrelink> I don't quite understand your question though
[15:12] <centrelink> like your programs arent showing up?
[15:12] <myst3rious> yes
[15:12] <myst3rious> it's only files
[15:12] <centrelink> the applications tab is the 2nd tab
[15:12] <treaver> CAn anyone tell me what to do about the Change the monitor display problem
[15:12] <centrelink> theres a tab selector at the bottom
[15:12] <centrelink> and from there you can click show all applications
[15:12] <myst3rious> there is no other tab besides the "home" tab
[15:13] <treaver> BLAZE!!!
[15:13] <timini> if I share a folder by going to system> Administration > shared folders   how can i then mount it from another computer
[15:13] <timini> ?
[15:13] <treaver> Invite me to the room again plaze
[15:13] <na-utusan> canurabus: there are also *plugins-bad/base* -dev in case you need them
[15:13] <jrib> canurabus: that's ok but you would probably be better served with apt-get or aptitude
[15:13] <treaver> blaze it came on !!!
[15:13] <treaver> :P
[15:14] <Blazemore|Work> treaver: well wipe it off!

[15:15] <myst3rious> okay, I got to the "applications" tab
[15:15] <treaver> blaze invite me
[15:15] <myst3rious> it looks really weird, there's no applications tab showing up (how was I able to click on it?) and there's no applications showing up
[15:15] <myst3rious> hold on, I'll take a screenshot

[15:19] <myst3rious> no, that is really the dash

[15:20] <myst3rious> well mine used to look like that but now it doesn't
[15:21] <myst3rious> it happened with the latest upgrade from 12.04 beta to 12.04

[15:26] <sylow> or is it because the bin/false ? it's to prevent remote login in ssh on the git user
[15:26] <Corvus> I repeat: What does it mean when the kernel panics and tries to kill "init"?
[15:27] <islandmonkey> !repeat | Corvus
[15:30] <sylow> nm, got it
[15:30] <zykotick9> Corvus: think of a kernel panic as the same as a BSOD in Microsoft world.  Things have gone very bad is what it means.  init is the mother of all other processes, pid 1.
[15:31] <Corvus> This sounds bad...
[15:31] <Corvus> Init sounds similar to explorer.exe, then.
[15:32] <islandmonkey> Corvus: No init is ntoskrnl.exe
[15:32] <zykotick9> islandmonkey: +1
[15:32] <Corvus> Not something I'm familiar with, I'm afraid.
[15:32] <islandmonkey> Unity sounds similar to explorer.ex
[15:32] <islandmonkey> e
[15:32] <Corvus> Still, sounds important. Any known solutions to such?
[15:33] <Blazemore|Work> Corvus: It depends what caused it. It's like asking what the solution is to a car crash
[15:33] <islandmonkey> Anything you were doing (hardware-wise) when it happened? How frequent is this happening?
[15:33] <djskidd> ugh
[15:33] <djskidd> oh hold on
[15:33] <myst3rious> okay
[15:34] <myst3rious> so I tried the "delete Unity and reset it
[15:34] <Blazemore|Work> Yeah basically Corvus if it's happening often you want to try to identify patterns. Like if it always happens when you plug in a USB webcam or something
[15:34] <myst3rious> fix
[15:34] <dexter-gnome> Hi all. I'm new today. Wanted to greet you.
[15:34] <myst3rious> it logged me out, and when I logged back in, switched to Unity 3D.
[15:34] <myst3rious> and still didn't fix it
[15:34] <islandmonkey> Corvus: Please do be as specific as possible.
[15:34] <Corvus> Happens around once a week, I think. I didn't change anything hardware-wise. I was running VLC (for music), Skype, XChat, and Firefox.
[15:35] <Corvus> Oh, and Transmission (torrent).
[15:35] <myst3rious> on the plus side, it looks rather shmexy now
[15:35] <Blazemore|Work> Corvus: Next time it happens, note down the exact error
[15:35] <apatters> Is there a good command line text to speech engine for linux that can produce a reasonably human-sounding voice? I just tried espeak and the output's pretty robotic
[15:35] <Corvus> All right, I will.

[15:35] <Blazemore|Work> apatters: festival
[15:35] <OerHeks> myst3rious, try the " sudo chmod 774 /usr/share/applications/* "  solution. i think the upgrade did chown it to root.
[15:36] <apatters> thanks, i'll try it out
[15:36] <Corvus> Oh, and I'm running 11.10 (Oneiric), if that helps.
[15:36] <myst3rious> OerHeks, I ran it, do I need to reboot?
[15:36] <myst3rious> s/reboot/relog
[15:37] <OerHeks> myst3rious, logout/login will do
[15:37] <islandmonkey> Corvus: Why not 12.04?
[15:37] <myst3rious> okay
[15:37] <myst3rious> be right back
[15:37] <indigofera> II call for Help: Have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a nvidia based laptop, have installed ubuntu 12.04 - the live session booted without any problems, neither was there a problem with the install but on rebooting after success the ogin screen appears and ultimately it leada to an "Fatal Server Error: No Screen found"
[15:37] <indigofera> how should i proceed
[15:38] <Corvus> I run 11.10 because Ocelot is my favorite animal. Pretty stupid reason, I suppose.

[15:48] <islandmonkey> That is strange. Before reinstalling, try using DBAN (http://www.dban.org/).   I accidentally dragged a launcher to the top taskbar.  If I right-click I get "Launch" and "Properties" and nowhere to delete it.  Can I manually delete this file somewhere?  Thanks.
[15:49] <myst3rious> does anyone know if the Guake Terminal package is actually of any use?
[15:49] <myst3rious> or does it just look cool?
[15:50] <canurabus> like... the wiki has an article: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Calibration/Ntrig   and the launchpad repo that i need to pull related drivers from is missing
[15:50] <Blazemore|Work> It's useful because it pulls down when you need it
[15:50] <shark_muttlewort> myst3rious: Define useful. It provides a terminal, that's useful. It's supposed to be quicker to access, like the Quake console

[15:56] <indigofera> BluesKaj: will try what you say, no net on the other machine, will have to shift my connection to that one so will be off for a while
[15:57] <hwkiller-netbook> with nvidia, you shouldn't even have to generate an xorg.conf
[15:57] <hwkiller-netbook> Really, xorg.conf should be done away with unless there is something actually really broken, since xorg sets everything up automatically anyway
[15:57] <islandmonkey> indigoferra: You don't need a connection to run nvidia-xconfig
[15:57] <BluesKaj> indigofera:  ok , hope it works for you ..I'll be around
[15:57] <indigofera> BluesKaj: where will nvidia-xconfig be
[15:57] <islandmonkey> indigoferra: sudo nvidia-xconfig is what you need to do.

[16:00] <Kenn> shark yes, all live cds now, fedora even froze on me,
[16:00] <castro> hola
[16:00] <shark_muttlewort> myst3rious: I suggest trying something like Awesome WM or Ratpoison
[16:00] <myst3rious> !classic
[16:01] <shark_muttlewort> Kenn: Sounds like a driver regression for your card
[16:01] <hwkiller-netbook> shark_muttlewort, er what? He wants something ala gnome...
[16:01] <jeeves_moss> I have a 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp DVB-T USB card, but I can't get Kaffeine to see the card.  What troubleshooting steps can I do so the system will see it?
[16:01] <shark_muttlewort> hwkiller-netbook: Those are superior to Gnome
[16:01] <hwkiller-netbook> Xfce is probably the closest thing to gnome2 we have
[16:01] <hwkiller-netbook> shark_muttlewort, not if that's not what he wants...
[16:01] <shark_muttlewort> hwkiller-netbook: That is irrelevant
[16:01] <myst3rious> I've used XFCE
[16:01] <myst3rious> I kinda liked it
[16:01] <hwkiller-netbook> Don't be elitist about this, he wants the environment he wants, not one you arbitrarily deem "superior"
[16:02] <islandmonkey> shark_muttlewort: You must be joking! They are nowhere near GNOME.
[16:02] <hwkiller-netbook> (I use spectrwm and prefer that over DEs, but he doesn't want that)
[16:02] <myst3rious> can I just install XFCE, and remove all the Unity stuff with Ubuntu Software Center?
[16:02] <myst3rious> I'm sure it would run faster
[16:02] <auronandace> !purexfce | myst3rious
[16:03] <shark_muttlewort> myst3rious: Might be easier to install Xubuntu, unless you have spent a lot of time setting up your existing installation
[16:03] <myst3rious> Lots
[16:03] <myst3rious> this install is almost a year old
[16:03] <centrelink> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[16:03] <hwkiller-netbook> Could one just remove "ubuntu-desktop" then autoremove leftover deps?
[16:04] <islandmonkey> shark_muttlewort: I disagree. Doing what centrelink stated above is much easier.
[16:05] <shark_muttlewort> islandmonkey: I hadn't read that, I agree it sounds better. I didn't realise someone had worked out all the extraneous packages Ubuntu provided
[16:05] <hwkiller-netbook> if only one could actually just remove meta-packages easily... I find that really irritating
[16:05] <mrFrog> i have something like this in my crontab: 1 * * * * commandName scriptName - if I run commandName scriptName on the command line it is run correctly. according to my crontab though, it should run every minute, yet it is not. any idea on how to figure out why? how can i debug this?
[16:05] <BluesKaj> shark_muttlewort:  they're not "extraneous packages"
[16:05] <islandmonkey> shark_muttlewort: Well everything Ubuntu-releated is linked to the Ubuntu repos
[16:06] <islandmonkey> related
[16:06] <hwkiller-netbook> mrFrog, that says run the first minute of every hour, doesn't it?
[16:06] <mrFrog> hwkiller-netbook: ah right i'm an idiot thank you :)
[16:06] <hwkiller-netbook> np.
[16:06] <llutz> mrFrog: "1 * * * *" is every h+1, make sure to use full pathes in crontab to call your scripts/cmds
[16:07] <myst3rious> okay, I had to run apt-get update

[16:24] <The_Loko> MrHashimoto: load the live cd and in Nautilus look for the windows hard drive and copy everything u need to other partition or usb key
[16:25] <Melo> Hello
[16:25] <akls> hello, I'm trying to show some images from bash. I don't want to use fbi because it requires root privileges. Are there any other tools? Like "display" from imagemagick but I want to show 1 image every second to the same window.
[16:26] <MrHashimoto> The_Loko do i need to load something to see the windows HD
[16:26] <mrFrog> ok my crontab is sort of working. when i tail /var/log/syslog, i can see that the correct command is running every minute. yet i don't see that the command is working because if i run it normally i get some files uploaded to my amazon s3 account. if it runs through cron then nothing is ever moved to my amazon s3 account. so i know it's failing at some point. how can i debug this? i am using the full command/script paths in the crontab

[16:27] <islandmonkey> How can I turn VSync off with a NVIDIA driver?
[16:28] <zelrik> hi
[16:28] <The_Loko> MrHashimoto no, just use nautilus, is the easy way
[16:28] <mrFrog> jrib: i assume it's running as the same user (since i edit using crontab -e from my user account)
[16:28] <zelrik> is there a way to install the v295.33 of the nvidia drivers?
[16:28] <zelrik> My system is really unstable
[16:28] <jrib> mrFrog: add debugging to script or pastebin script
[16:29] <jrib> mrFrog: you could debug it by just adding some echo lines outputting to some file for starters
[16:29] <kyle__> Does ubuntu use a locate daemon by default?
[16:29] <jrib> kyle__: yes
[16:29] <mrFrog> jrib: alright i'll do that
[16:30] <kyle__> jrib: Hum.  It's just I don't see one on this vm. It would be named ?locate right?
[16:30] <kyle__> or .locate, depding on your regular expression language
[16:30] <glitsj16> islandmonkey: run 'nvidia-settings' and check your 'X Server Xvideo Settings'
[16:31] <jrib> kyle__: hmm maybe I misunderstood.  Ubuntu has a locate command (/usr/bin/locate) and there's a cron entry that runs updatedb
[16:31] <islandmonkey> glitsj16: There is VBlank, is that the same thing?
[16:31] <jrib> kyle__: I have mlocate, not sure if that's still default
[16:31] <kyle__> jrib: THere are a bunch of versions of locate, like there are of cron.  It's just been quite some time since I've used it, so I wasn't sure.

[17:05] <JessicaW> anyone can think of df -h would report a drive with negative space being used?

[17:07] <jagosix> hfs+ MAC
[17:07] <newman2> for ex. nfs most wanted
[17:07] <bekks> JessicaW: Which filesystem is it?
[17:07] <JessicaW> bekks: XFS
[17:07] <jagosix> I have played most of the games on Codeweavers crossover games
[17:08] <newman2> whats this?
[17:08] <JessicaW> bekks: it's that same iscsi SAN you helped me with 4 months agao. :D
[17:08] <jagosix> people its a MAC formatted drive HFS+
[17:08] <bekks> JessicaW: :D
[17:08] <AssociateX> how do I use apt-get to list the possible nvidia packages to install?
[17:09] <jagosix> I can read, but I need to write some files to it .
[17:09] <bekks> AssociateX: apt-cache search nvidia
[17:09] <zh> spm_Draget: I only see alternate install there. Here's 12.04 netinstall https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD/
[17:09] <JessicaW> AssociateX: sudo apt-cache search nvidia
[17:09] <indigofera> hi am getting a lot of stuff on my xchat screen
[17:09] <AssociateX> bekks: JessicaW, thank you
[17:09] <jagosix> My PCLinuxOS computer can read Write. I want to be able to do it in Ubuntu.
[17:10] <JessicaW> see here... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112265/     the drive shows as NEGATIVE 676 GB. I wish I had the extra space but....
[17:13] <jagosix> Someone, anyone? How to rw hfs+ drive in ubuntu
[17:13] <MindALot> who would I ask about this.  I'm runing ubuntu. After I install the AMD graphics drivers (using the additional drivers option), I can no longer see the console when I use ctrl-alt f1 - f6.
[17:13] <indigofera> BluesKaj: the t510 i have is 64 bit the hardware wiki says 32 bit is compatible
[17:13] <MindALot> The console is still running, I know because I can blind log in/run commands.  but it would be nice to be able to see what I'm doing.
[17:14] <indigofera> wonder if that could be an issue
[17:14] <indigofera> also am not able to get to bumblee be - how ?
[17:14] <najam> w
[17:15] <AssociateX> Woo-whoa!!! I have X running again. I needed nvidia-173. Thank you very much to anyone that answered any of my questions.
[17:15] <sadaraine> Good morning / afternoon.  I'm trying to either find a solution to a problem or help give diagnostic information to get it fixed.  The issue is this:  Remmina disappears when I minimize it and I can not get it back.  Also if I open a second session on a different screen it disappears or if I go fullscreen mode it goes away.  To get it back I have to kill the process and restart the app.  I've used gnome and unity and it crashes in either.  I also run dual
[17:15] <sadaraine>  monitors which seems to make the issue worse from what I've seen online.
[17:15] <AssociateX> I'm very grateful!
[17:15] <BluesKaj> indigofera:  are  going to try the install I posted?
[17:15] <bekks> jagosix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#hfs.2B-
[17:16] <junixbr> is there something like a system-config-kickstart for ubuntu-server?
[17:16] <carl1> hi
[17:16] <JessicaW> bueller... bueller. I know. it's a weird one. I've never seen df output like this.
[17:17] <dertil> \exit
[17:18] <indigofera> at the current rate my 60 megs of updates will take 5 h 53 minutes
[17:19] <carl1> What does mean com.canonical.dbusmenu and com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar?
[17:19] <bekks> carl1: Where do you see that? :)
[17:20] <spm_Draget> I think unetbootin is hiding the appropiate installer menu from me. <.<
[17:20] <carl1> bekks in d-feet :P
[17:21] <JessicaW> also... anyone using any good user auditing software that works with ubuntu well?
[17:21] <bekks> carl1: Do we have to guess the error message?
[17:21] <Coffee321> Question : If terminal commands detect my graphics card, & ubuntu settings system dose not. What could this be telling me?
[17:22] <zelrik> hi
[17:22] <carl1> bekks Well.. I would like to read documentation about those
[17:22] <zelrik> If I run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop in a recovery console, it stops my screens
[17:22] <bekks> Coffee321: The lspci -k command just shows you whats found, and the driver that is loaded for that particular piece of hardware.
[17:23] <Jonii> Hey, how do I know if my Ubuntu 12.04 has TRIM enabled?
[17:23] <bekks> Coffee321: So which graphics card do you have, and which module is loaded for it?
[17:23] <zelrik> I cant do ctrl+alt+fX either
[17:23] <zelrik> that stops my screens
[17:23] <JessicaW> Coffee321: also, if you can see the screen at all, ubuntu is detecting it. it just probably has the wrong driver.
[17:23] <gitesh> I am having Ubuntu-server 12.04. How do I connect Internet using my username & password in Server ?
[17:23] <bekks> Jonii: By looking at the mount options in "mount". Seeing "discard" there, it is enabled.
[17:24] <Coffee321> My computer has - VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[17:24] <treaver> I need someone's help badly
[17:24] <bekks> Coffee321: And lspci -k also tells you which module is loaded for that hardware.
[17:24] <JessicaW> gitesh: could you explain further? there is not enough information to answer that question. what is the user/password for? wireless or ppp?
[17:24] <bekks> !ask | treaver
[17:25] <kyle__> Coffee321: What exactly is happening?  You get a console but no desktop?
[17:25] <gitesh> JessicaW, ppp
[17:25] <kyle__> (console==commandline==bashprompt)
[17:25] <zelrik> how can I fix my command prompts?
[17:25] <Coffee321> Kernel modules: intelfb, i915
[17:25] <kyle__> zelrik: What's wrong with it?
[17:25] <zelrik> I cant have a command line without the xserver
[17:25] <AssociateX> Hello friends, I'm back.
[17:25] <zelrik> kyle__: read above
[17:25] <gitesh> JessicaW, I have wired connction, maybe dsl. not wireless.
[17:25] <bekks> Coffee321: So basically, X will use the "i915" driver.
[17:25] <Jonii> bekks: how do I look mount options in "mount"?
[17:26] <treaver> Ok this is what happened. I installed the drivers I was looking for my wireless router sucessfully then I was following a tutorial to edit grub to make the resolution start screen not come up cause it kept saying "Rosolution doesn't fit" or something. So I saved it and restarted computer
[17:26] <bekks> Jonii: by typing "mount" and pressing enter.
[17:26] <Coffee321> kyle_: I have desktop Operational
[17:26] <kyle__> Jonii: Did anyone answer you?  If you use ext4 it's simply a matter of the right flags in fstab.
[17:26] <treaver> Now after I get to login, I login and it's just blag
[17:26] <treaver> black
[17:26] <treaver> And the resolution error is still there
[17:26] <foobArrr> how do I change with what external applications akregator opens links? e.g. I want links to .mp4 files to open in vlc. I can't find anything in akregators settings. is this a global kde-setting? if so, how do I change it without kde installed?
[17:26] <JessicaW> gitesh: try http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Connecting_an_Ubuntu_Linux_System_to_a_DSL_Modem
[17:26] <zelrik> kyle__: my nvidia drivers make my system very unstable, and I cant disable the xserver to install an older version manually
[17:26] <kyle__> zelrik: Sorry too much going on, can't scroll back and find it.
[17:26] <treaver> Is there a way to enter terminal from the start?
[17:26] <bekks> kyle__: It is always just a matter of the fstab, not only when using ext[2|3|4]
[17:27] <Jonii> what's terminal command for regexp filter?
[17:27] <|Anthony|> is 10.04 still supported here?
[17:27] <AssociateX> So, now I have X up and working, I can login with the guest account and get a working desktop but not with my own account. When I try to log into my account it tries, then the screen goes back to the login screen.
[17:27] <treaver> Could someone help?
[17:27] <Coffee321> bekks: yes my concern is - Do I need to, tinker with my graphics or should I just leave it alone.
[17:27] <kyle__> zelrik: Ahhh.  And ctrl+alt+f1 is giving you  no console, because the driver you're using screwes it up.  I had that happen with a via-unichrome chipset before.  Either ssh in, or interrupt grub and tell it single (single user mode), that's command line.
[17:27] <JessicaW> |Anthony|: of course. 10.04 is a LTS release.
[17:27] <bekks> Jonii: mount|grep -e "discard|trim"
[17:28] <|Anthony|> lol thanks JesseC
[17:28] <kyle__> bekks: isn't the kernel built-in trim support is only for ext4?
[17:28] <|Anthony|> er... JessicaW
[17:28] <bekks> Coffee321: Is your X Server working? Can you log in graphically?
[17:28] <treaver> anyone?
[17:28] <b636bc7ca> I have a process that I want to run as a service; however, I need a specific command run at 'stop' in order to insure a clean shut-down. I know I can use the 'exec' stanza to write the command for 'start', but I don't see any way to specify the command for 'stop'?
[17:28] <gitesh> JessicaW, ok. I read that. thanks
[17:28] <treaver> Can someone please help me I'm desperate now my computer won't even start up
[17:28] <zelrik> kyle__: how to interupt grub
[17:28] <bekks> kyle__: The TRIM suport for ext is for ext only :)
[17:28] <b636bc7ca> treaver: What's the question?
[17:28] <kyle__> bekks: OK.  I thought it was only 4 for some reason.
[17:28] <JessicaW> treaver: hang on I'm googling
[17:29] <Jonii> Okay, I don't have TRIM enabled. What do I do next?
[17:29] <JessicaW> b636bc7ca: I think he broke grub.
[17:29] <treaver> I did I think
[17:29] <Jonii> I thought Ubuntu 12.04 was supposed to have it enabled by default :(
[17:29] <indigofera> sorry my net went off , am just bacl
[17:29] <indigofera> * back
[17:29] <treaver> But I was only following a tutorial
[17:29] <kyle__> zelrik: Hit space when it's counting down, then select the line you want, hit the key it wants you to hit to edit before booting (it tells you which), and add single to the end of the line.  Then I think just hit enter to boot.
[17:29] <Coffee321> bekks: You cornered me with this one. x server I don't even have a clue. I am still a new to ubuntu
[17:29] <kyle__> zelrik: But it will tell you.
[17:29] <|Anthony|> well than... I'm trying to install suns jre1.6.0_33 but having a bit of trouble...
[17:29] <|Anthony|> sudo update-alternatives --install "usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_33/bin/java" 1
[17:29] <b636bc7ca> treaver: So you can't boot at all?
[17:29] <|Anthony|> error: alternative link is not absolute as it should be: usr/bin/java
[17:29] <OerHeks> Jonii,  not by default, ada discard to your fstab
[17:29] <JessicaW> treaver: did you try ctrl-alt-f1 on booting?
[17:29] <b636bc7ca> |Anthony|: That needs a leading /
[17:30] <indigofera> regarding nvidia on lenovo t510 - yes the ubuntu hardware certification says its compatible - but oly 32 bit is mentioned not 64 bit, which is what i have
[17:30] <treaver> Yes I can boot but before boot I get resolution is bad then after I get past login screen it goes black
[17:30] <Jonii> what's fstab?
[17:30] <bekks> !fstab | Jonii
[17:30] <b636bc7ca> Jonii: /etc/fstab tells the OS what filesystems to mount at boot
[17:30] <OerHeks> Jonii, mine is like this > UUID=<very long number>  /               ext4    noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0       1
[17:30] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, /usr/bin/java is a symlink. Is that the issue or just the /
[17:30] <JessicaW> treaver: what version?
[17:30] <treaver> Jesica I just pressed that and I have the error again
[17:30] <OerHeks> !fstab
[17:30] <treaver> latest
[17:30] <JessicaW> treaver: so do you get the unity-greeter? where it asks you to login?
[17:31] <b636bc7ca> |Anthony|: Just the '/' - "alternative link is not absolute"
[17:31] <treaver> yes
[17:31] <JessicaW> treaver: ok then it's not grub it's X
[17:31] <treaver> after i stumble past the please change input timing
[17:31] <kyle__> Jonii: discard goes in the third collumn, comma seperated
[17:31] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, thank you... i'll report back if it's no good.
[17:31] <JessicaW> treaver: let me google.  that's my weak spot. I don't use a gui much.
[17:32] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, well no error so i suppose it worked lol
[17:32] <treaver> Also I can't boot into windows
[17:32] <kyle__> JessicaW: Good for you :)
[17:32] <b636bc7ca> treaver: hold shift while you boot, and when you get to the grub menu, see if you have a rescue mode you can boot into. That should give you CLI access to the machine, where you can fight with your X config.
[17:32] <treaver> b636
[17:32] <gitesh> JessicaW, How do I install pppoeconf(on server) ? I dont have internet connection there.
[17:32] <JessicaW> kyle__: heh.
[17:32] <treaver> I don't have a grub menu when I get to there
[17:32] <treaver> It tells me that I need to set me timing bad
[17:32] <b636bc7ca> treaver: Did you hold shift down during boot?
[17:32] <treaver> or something
[17:33] <treaver> Yes
[17:33] <AssociateX> what is the cli for config'ing X?
[17:33] <b636bc7ca> AssociateX: /usr/bin/nvi?
[17:33] <JessicaW> treaver: grub menu looks like this http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/image55.png
[17:33] <JessicaW> gitesh: uhhh. one sec.
[17:33] <AssociateX> b636bc7ca: I'll try that, thank you.
[17:34] <treaver> Jessica
[17:34] <treaver> I don't get that I get "the current input timing is not supported..."
[17:34] <treaver> Then wait 30 seconds
[17:34] <treaver> Then it comes to ubuntu
[17:34] <treaver> login page
[17:34] <b636bc7ca> gitesh: Assuming precise, "http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/pppoeconf/download"

[17:43] <treaver> I can't see the screen at all dudes :p
[17:43] <sadaraine> got ya b6
[17:43] <indigofera> ubuntu hardware wiki says the device is compatible, but only for 32 bit nothing about 64 bit
[17:43] <AssociateX> "ctrl c" to stop ping, btw.
[17:44] <b636bc7ca> treaver: Hold the Left Alt key and hit the left arraow until you get back to the hting where you can see your mouse
[17:44] <sadaraine> treaver: can you tell me what tutorial you were walking through?
[17:45] <treaver> Umm it was a tutorial on how to set windows as default and fix the timing screen
[17:45] <i7c> how do i find out that UUID for fstab entries?
[17:45] <genii-around> i7c: sudo blkid
[17:46] <i7c> genii-around: thx
[17:46] <genii-around> i7c: You're welcome
[17:46] <gitesh> b636bc7ca , its interesting:)
[17:46] <AssociateX> How do you natively config X from cli?
