[07:13] <dhy> if movies in directory try -R option for recursive
[07:13] <theadmin> tdhz77: Without the leading slash. Or, "mv ./Movies /media/GREAT/". Or "mv $PWD/Movies /media/GREAT/", all should be about the same.
[07:13] <tdhz77> theadmin, because im transfering from one usb to another should I use cp instead?
[07:14] <theadmin> tdhz77: Well cp is copy, mv is move
[07:14] <theadmin> tdhz77: It shouldn't matter which to use
[07:14] <dhy> tdhz77,  try sudo
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> tdhz77:  may be 'safer' to cp then remove the originalonce the cp is done.  it may take time to copy them all..
[07:14] <dhy> sudo  mv /Movies/* /media/GREAT/ Movies
[07:14] <theadmin> tdhz77: Don't forget the trailing slash: /media/GREAT/, not /media/GREAT
[07:15] <tdhz77> theadmin, dr_willis, dhy thank you very much.
[07:15] <dhy> your welcome
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> you may want to look into the 'mc' file manager for the  shell  :)
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> !info mc
[07:16] <vampirnata> <3 mc
[07:16] <tdhz77> Dr_willis cool! Thanks awesome very awesome.
[07:16] <gogeta> mc for the win
[07:17] <theadmin> Meh mc... ranger ftw
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> theres some alternatives to mc.. but you just dont hear a lot about  them.
[07:17] <vampirnata> mc doesn't play nice with byobu though :(
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> mc dont work that great over my android phone/ssh session ;) no F keys...
[07:17] <dhy> hello ppl
[07:18] <Ridion> Hello room
[07:18] <tdhz77> Dr_willis will this help in my quest to learn the terminal or inhibit it?
[07:18] <fidel> theadmin: whats the advantage of 'the ranger' - never heard of
[07:18] <dhy> who have an raspberry pi in this channel?
[07:18] <theadmin> fidel: Vi-style keybindings for one :P
[07:18] <fidel> ;)
[07:18] <Ridion> I want one, just don't know what I'd do with it yet
[07:18] <gogeta> Dr_Willis: hackers keybord has them
[07:18] <fidel> lets check it out then
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> tdhz77:  if you want to learn the terminal.. you should be rading the man pagesand bash guides..  since you are doing fundamenttal mistakes like /Movies/
[07:18] <dhy> i have one currently
[07:19] <vampirnata> I got one last week
[07:19] <Ridion> does anyone feel like helping a newbie get his X server working?
[07:19] <dhy> i am using at home like a server
[07:19] <vampirnata> haven't had a chance to play with it yet though
[07:19] <tdhz77> Dr_Willis Point me to the docs and I shall read.
[07:19] <fidel> Ridion: just ask
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> !bash
[07:19] <fidel> Ridion: until you start describing your problem in detail we cant really answer your first question anyways ;)
[07:20] <vampirnata> just in case someone doesn't know, Xshell is an amazing ssh client for windows
[07:20] <tdhz77> If I don't understand the error message is there a way I can look up what it means?
[07:21] <gogeta> vampirnata: so is putty
[07:21] <DocPlatypus> is at/cron supposed to be broken in 12.04 LTS? seems odd that I'd get a permission error
[07:21] <Ridion> my system was booting fine, I have ATI drivers installed, I tried to install Xen, and the system now boots to command line. When I run cinnmon or gnome-shell I get the error: "Window manager error: Unable to open X display". Running X -configure I get "Number of screens created does not match number of detected devices
[07:21] <vampirnata> i knew someone would say putty. yes putty is good but xshell has many more features. check out their feature list and you will see
[07:22] <Ridion> sorry, was just taking time to type
[07:22] <xan> hi there, someone knows where the mobile broadband simcard pin is stored in ubuntu? i forgot it and would like to recover it
[07:22] <theadmin> vampirnata: Nobody feels like buying an ssh client though
[07:22] <fidel> tdhz77: you can either post the error message here - or check the web for the error-message as a first step -> general hint
[07:22] <vampirnata> it's free for home/personal use
[07:23] <theadmin> vampirnata: Ah, guess I didn't read much
[07:23] <tdhz77> fidel great, thanks for the tip.
[07:23] <fidel> consider that you will be most likely not the first one out there seeing that specific error-message - so using a search is always a good step in combination with irc
[07:23] <me> hi
[07:24] <Ridion> anyone got any hints for my problem?
[07:24] <nafcool> where will i get the source code unity.h?
[07:24] <theadmin> nafcool: apt-get source unity
[07:25] <nafcool> for Unity Launcher API C
[07:25] <Cerrdor> Ridion: uninstall xen
[07:25] <sacarlson> Ridion: if the xen install broke it maybe try boot your original kernel from grub and see if it recovers,  if so set it back to default
[07:25] <blazinbass> how do i upgrade to 12.04lts from 10.04 lts
[07:25] <blazinbass> i just installed all current updates
[07:25] <blazinbass> and it's not showing up in the upgrade box
[07:25] <theadmin> blazinbass: sudo do-release-upgrade
[07:25] <nafcool> theadmin: thanks a lot!
[07:25] <Ridion> I would, but it does it when I'm not booting into Xen too now
[07:26] <Ridion> would it still probably help?
[07:26] <blazinbass> please anyone?
[07:26] <blazinbass> help me upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04
[07:26] <theadmin> blazinbass: *ahem*
[07:26] <theadmin> blazinbass: sudo do-release-upgrade
[07:27] <blazinbass> admin..it says no new release found
[07:27] <Cerrdor> Ridion: should fix it
[07:27] <sacarlson> blazinbass: did you try sudo apt-get update; ?
[07:28] <theadmin> blazinbass: Mweh... In the software properties or whatever, check it to scan for LTS update releases, then run that again
[07:28] <theadmin> s/check/set
[07:28] <theadmin> /
[07:28] <blazinbass> admin, already done that
[07:28] <blazinbass> sacarlson: I don't know how to do that
[07:28] <tdhz77> During the mv command I got a kernel panic. :(
[07:28] <sacarlson> blazinbass: enter a terminal and type $sudo apt-get update

[07:30] <nafcool> theadmin: but there's no unity.h file??
[07:30] <theadmin> nafcool: Well, that's the whole source-code of Unity that is there
[07:30] <nafcool> theadmin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1758443
[07:30] <theadmin> !find unity.h
[07:30] <nafcool> theadmin: what is he using?
[07:30] <theadmin> nafcool: libunity-dev
[07:31] <theadmin> nafcool: That's the package you need, sudo apt-get install it
[07:31] <Flannel> blazinbass: LTS won't be prompted to upgrade to the next LTS until the first point release (12.04.1 in this case) is released.  That happens three months after the release (end of July).  If you want to do it sooner, run `update-mangaer -d` and it'll see 12.04
[07:31] <blazinbass> what's the exact command flannel?
[07:31] <blazinbass> Flannel: ?
[07:31] <theadmin> blazinbass: gksu update-manager -d
[07:31] <Flannel> blazinbass: gksu update-manager -d
[07:31] <nafcool> theadmin: alright
[07:31] <nafcool> :D
[07:32] <omido> i have another issue and that is i feel the launcher size is too much large. how can i make it smaller? i searched in system settings but found nothing useful.
[07:32] <theadmin> omido: I think MyUnity has something or other about that
[07:32] <blazinbass> Flannel: thank you, i ran that in terminal and it opened my package manager
[07:32] <blazinbass> Flannel: still don't see any option to upgrade
[07:33] <theadmin> Not too sure though, the only time I used Unity was at a friend's computer when the only thing I did was open a terminal and install Java anyway
[07:34] <blazinbass> Flannel: i really appreciate you trying to help btw
[07:36] <nafcool> theadmin: cool!
[07:36] <nafcool> theadmin: thanks a lot! now i can include the header file and use it in my program?
[07:37] <theadmin> nafcool: Yes, I suppose you just #include <unity.h>
[07:37] <theadmin> nafcool: I'm not a C coder though so I can't help you much further.
[07:37] <Flannel> blazinbass: If that doesn't work there's something else affecting it.  When you updated to the latest packages, did you get a new kernel?  It may be that it checks and won't let you upgrade until you're running that kernel.
[07:38] <nafcool> theadmin: ok.........np thanks a lot!
[07:38] <blazinbass> Flannel: I'm not quite sure how to check if I did, I just turned on my internet for the first time today since September of last year
[07:38] <blazinbass> Flannel: i've upgraded everything and am positive there's nothing left in the repository to upgrade to
[07:38] <nafcool> theadmin: actually I'm a XIth grader....taking part in App Showdown :D
[07:38] <blazinbass> Flannel: i'm running 10.04LTS
[07:38] <nafcool> theadmin: and I LOVE UBUNTU
[07:38] <theadmin> nafcool: Heh.
[07:39] <Flannel> blazinbass: Have you restarted since upgrading (to grab the new kernel)?
[07:39] <blazinbass> Flannel: yes sir
[07:39] <theadmin> nafcool: That's getting offtopic though, if you want to discuss that further you may /query me.
[07:39] <zybiski> nafcool: are you making apps for iphone or android?
[07:39] <Flannel> blazinbass: Do you have lucid-updates enabled?
[07:40] <blazinbass> Flannel: yes, i've just checked
[07:41] <blazinbass> Flannel: bare with me brother
[07:41] <Flannel> blazinbass: Then I don't know what to tell you.  That does/should work.
[07:41] <blazinbass> Flannel: that command should prompt me for 12.04?
[07:41] <Flannel> blazinbass: yes.  gksu update-manager -d
[07:41] <Flannel> or do-release-upgrade -d
[07:42] <theadmin> Hm... I think I may see the problem.
[07:42] <theadmin> blazinbass: Try with "gksudo" rather than gksu: gksudo update-manager -d
[07:42]  * theadmin thinks gksu interprets -d as an option, --debug.
[07:42] <Flannel> theadmin: gksudo and gksu have been identical since Breezy.  If anything, you'd want to protect it with `gksu "update-manager -d"`
[07:43] <theadmin> Flannel: Ah, okay.
[07:43] <theadmin> Pardon me then.
[07:44] <blazinbass> Flannel: something seems to be working with that last command u gave me
[07:44] <Flannel> theadmin: Oh, no worries :)
[07:44] <blazinbass> theadmin: you're very kind, thank you
[07:44] <theadmin> Flannel: If I recall correctly, though, gksu MAY be configured to use su as the backend via gksu-properties, whereas gksudo always uses sudo, so uh.

[07:45] <blazinbass> (12:45:03 AM) blazinbass: i press yn to continue
[07:45] <Flannel> blazinbass: You've configured your system to only do LTS upgrades, right?
[07:45] <theadmin> llutz_: ic well, never mind then
[07:46] <blazinbass> Flannel: yeah
[07:46] <Flannel> blazinbass: then it's 12.04
[07:46] <blazinbass> Flannel: something is definitely happening right now
[07:46] <blazinbass> Flannel: you're a genius :)
[07:46] <tiox> As of the present kernel version in Ubuntu, I can receive audio from speakers on my Dell Inspiron just fine, just not with headphones unless I bump up the "Speaker" slider in alsamixer.
[07:46] <blazinbass> Flannel: why is it so big?  almost a GIG worth of updates!? holy crap
[07:46] <nafcool> zybiski: for desktop
[07:46] <tiox> I still do not get why this is such an issue in 12.04 when the kernel in 11.10 works as it should.
[07:47] <theadmin> blazinbass: Because it's the same as downloading the 12.04 ISO, all the packages there... But uncompressed
[07:47] <blazinbass> you guys are so awesome
[07:47] <tiox> Plus, followed a launchpad thread that confirms this: The Precise kernel is not exactly precise, as someone applied it to a build of 11.10 and got the same result; No audio from headphones.
[07:47] <theadmin> blazinbass: Well, it's not the same, but I think I got my point across :P
[07:47] <blazinbass> thank you
[07:48] <blazinbass> theadmin:  i thought you were a bot :)
[07:48] <Bijan-E> anyone knows how to get DVD/CD's label (text) in terminal ?
[07:48] <theadmin> blazinbass: err, I ain't. The only bot we have here is ubottu (well, the only one that talks anyway)
[07:48] <tiox> I installed the Realtek drivers in accordance to a thread on Ask Ubuntu, nothing still. I am stumped.
[07:48] <tiox> I am going to sleep. Farewell and  hope someone figures this crap out.
[07:48] <nafcool> theadmin: we can make apps for android, too?
[07:49] <theadmin> Bijan-E: isoinfo may or may not be of help.
[07:49] <theadmin> nafcool: Well I guess if you have the Android SDK and such installed.
[07:50] <nafcool> !find glib.h
[07:51] <theadmin> Bijan-E: Something along the lines of "isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0"
[07:52] <Bijan-E> theadmin, thank you, i'm install genisoimage right now and i will try that
[07:52] <nafcool> theadmin: /usr/include/unity/unity/unity.h:7:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory
[07:52] <nafcool> theadmin: what to do??
[07:52] <theadmin> nafcool: Find glib.h, I'm not sure where that would be.
[07:52] <nafcool> theadmin: libglib is already installed on my UB-PC

[07:57] <mah454> ok
[07:57] <fidel> mah454: just as i am curious: why would your live-cd need gnome-3 in the first place?

[07:58] <nafcool> theadmin: how to use build-essential
[07:59] <haylo> fidel, i beleive that is the point
[07:59] <theadmin> nafcool: Just "sudo apt-get install" it, it will give you the core tools such as gcc, make etc and core libraries.
[07:59] <haylo> a minor undertaking for  acompany like microsoft to control ubuntu from the inside fidel
[07:59] <nafcool> it is indstalled

[08:05] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get build-dep unity    (perhaps)

[08:13] <iHarp> is it possible to upgrade mac firmware while only having linux installed? Other than virtual machine?
[08:13] <fidel> iHarp: what do you mean by 'mac firmware'?
[08:13] <fidel> talking about efi-updates?
[08:14] <iHarp> yes
[08:14] <quadmonster> hi for all
[08:14] <elfranne> i have a thinkpad T410 and when using vga to connect an external display the screen is flickering .. any idea ?
[08:14] <quadmonster> have any one working with firebird server on ubuntu?
[08:15] <fidel> iHarp: so you are having apple-hardware - only linux running on it and want to install the latest efi-firmware update from apple on that apple-hardware?
[08:15] <fidel> just to avoid confusion: why?
[08:15] <iHarp> fidel: that is correct
[08:16] <iHarp> I have an original macbook 1,1 from 2006 that I know has't received the update that is available. From what I have read there are multiple fixes that come from the update
[08:18] <fidel> iHarp: afaik there was only 1 update for that series-  but i'M sorry - no idea how to do that. have you asked in addition in ##mac ?
[08:18] <fidel> there are at least a handfull of power-mac-users available usualy
[08:18] <nafcool> can anyone here plz. assist me how to use libunity in C++, please :D
[08:19] <iHarp> fidel: yea. looks like i might actually have to do a mac install virtually.
[08:19] <fidel> nafcool: you might consider asking in a more programming oriented channel
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> virtual machine flashing firmware..thats kinda scary
[08:20] <iHarp> Dr_Willis: how so?
[08:20] <fidel> hehe yep - but then again the entire mac thing is partly scary if it comes to how hard & software are tinkered together in some areas
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> iHarp:  its accessing the virtual hardware... not even sure how that would be possible
[08:20] <HardFu> strange, I have two boxes, they both have the same corosync config, yet can't both
[08:20] <HardFu> can't see both
[08:21] <iHarp> macbook linux has been a nightmare.
[08:21] <HardFu> anyone good with corosync/pacemaker
[08:21] <fidel> iHarp: fully believe that ;)

[08:28] <Dr_Willis> time to start with hellowworld.c and move up?
[08:29] <Cerrdor> lol

[08:48] <erw> ?
[08:49] <Smurphy> sirriffsalot: I know you can tell it to not install the proposed packages by default. Dunno what it was anymore though
[08:49] <theadmin> erw: Yes, it's a cat.
[08:49] <theadmin> erw: Ctrl-Alt-T
[08:49] <sirriffsalot> Smurphy, well obviously.. but gets tiresome after a few updates..
[08:50] <erw> theadmin: thanks :)
[08:50] <Smurphy> sirriffsalot: yes - but you can configure into the apt system by default - so it won't ask
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> !pin
[08:50] <melodie__> hi
[08:50] <melodie__> Smurphy: ?
[08:50] <melodie__> I'm here ! :D
[08:50] <Smurphy> yo :)
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> if you are not using samba, then you could remove samba. if you are using samba.. then you should let it upodate samba. sinc there may  be security updates
[08:51] <Smurphy> melodie__: a /join #ubuntu would have been faster :}
[08:51] <quadmonster> if any one know about wifi firmware on ubuntu 10.04?
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> quadmonster:  depends a great deal on the exact wireless chipset
[08:52] <melodie__> Smurphy: ok
[08:54] <sirriffsalot> Smurphy, oh, how do I do this?:)
[08:55] <Smurphy> Ok - do what ?
[08:56] <Smurphy> sirriffsalot: That's what I said before. I did read it not too long ago that you can configure it, but I didn't put more attention to it.
[08:56] <avelldiroll> sirriffsalot: the answer of Dr_Willis about pinning was for you
[08:56] <sirriffsalot> Oh, been doing a lot of things, will read in a sec:) Cheers!
[08:57] <sirriffsalot> Dr_Willis, thanks willis:P
[08:58] <sirriffsalot> Dr_Willis, not using it:P
[09:00] <skpl> how do i cehck the version of an installed app?
[09:00] <llutz_> skpl: apt-cache policy <packagename>
[09:01] <Smurphy> Anyone knows why I get no sound out of a Windows XP Client running inside a VirtualBox Host ?
[09:01] <Smurphy> Host System is KUbuntu 12.04.
[09:01] <melodie__> Smurphy: have you installed the guest additions ?
[09:02] <melodie__> Smurphy: and do you know how I could lock the launchers on the unity panel please ?
[09:02] <melodie__> I don't want the people to remove them or add more, if it would be possible
[09:02] <Smurphy> lcom it on the unity launcher ?
[09:02] <melodie__> Smurphy: yes sir !
[09:02] <Smurphy> There is an addon for Unity, to configure the Unity itself, GUI etc.
[09:03] <Smurphy> But - as I use KUbuntu, I never used it.
[09:03] <fishbait> i've found myself preferring kde are there any media players that integrate with kde the way banshee does with gnome?
[09:03] <Smurphy> Anybody here knows what the name of the app is ?
[09:03] <triad> someone yell at me ?
[09:03] <melodie__> what is the name ? if it is "myunity" it does not look like it contains this feature ? (just read the doc so far)
[09:03] <Smurphy> fishbait: kaffeine ?
[09:03] <fishbait> i'll look into it
[09:03] <Smurphy> melodie__: Don't think so., It was for finetuning Unity
[09:04] <melodie__> Smurphy: if you remember the name, it will be welcome !
[09:04] <Smurphy> just checking...
[09:04] <avelldiroll> fishbait: there used to be amarok ... but as far as I know it's crippled since kde4
[09:04] <Smurphy> Was a german article of Linuxusers... Just cehcking my archives.
[09:05] <fishbait> yeah tried but it doesn't integrate
[09:05] <nikola> hello, i have problem my xbuntu turnoff my monitor after 10 minutes , but options in screen saver and power managemant are set to 50 minutes
[09:05] <nikola> that things started happening my after update
[09:05] <melodie__> fishbait: amarok ?
[09:05] <Smurphy> fishbait: What you mean with integrate ?
[09:06] <fishbait> banshee in gnome shows controls in the volume
[09:06] <fishbait> i just want something that shows controls somewhere
[09:06] <fishbait> without the window being open
[09:06] <zubin_> how can i fix the error no init found. try passing init=bootrag ?
[09:07] <fidel> not sure if it was mentioned already - but clementine is an excelenct amarok fork
[09:07] <fidel> regarding the audio-player & amarok discussion
[09:07] <fidel> fishbait: clementine should appear in the central audio-controlvolume interface of your install - besides offering controls in the app as well - if that helps
[09:08] <fishbait> fidel: thank you
[09:08] <paul_uk> hey all, is anyone here using xfreerdp and the clipboard from vm to host works?  Or anyknow a channel for remmina desktop?
[09:09] <Smurphy> melodie__: Don't find it. Went out of the RSS already (they seem to keep it for a Week in only or so).
[09:11] <avelldiroll> fishbait: there should be some plasmoid to add to your desktop able to control at least amarok (or clementine)
[09:11] <fishbait> ooh that could work too
[09:13] <ninstaah> Hi all, Can one of you help me with some regex replacement in an variable? I want my domain-test.tld to be domain_test_tld .. how is that possible?
[09:15] <fishbait> ok clementine works for me i'll keep an eye out for that plasmoid
[09:16] <avelldiroll> ninstaah: when speaking about regex, you should always define the tool you are using regex with (sed, perl, python, ...), some more context would probably help too, finally you might get more answers in #regex which is dedicated to those questions
[09:17] <ninstaah> avelldiroll, It is within a bash script - is that what you are asking about?
[09:18] <llutz_> ninstaah: domain=donaim-test.tld  ; echo ${domain//[^a-zA-Z]/_}
[09:18] <thebrasse> hi! can someone tell me how I enable my compose key without using the unity window manager. when i switched to another window manager, my configured compose key stopped working...
[09:19] <jolaren> I'm logged into my webmin on my server and I can see that /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start is running like 10 times
[09:19] <avelldiroll> ninstaah: no ... and llutz_ answer is more appropriate ... you don't need regex for what you describe
[09:19] <melodie__> Smurphy: ok, doesn't matter, I'll try to find with "fine tune Unity "
[09:19] <Cerrdor> jolaren: different PID?
[09:19] <fidel> jolaren: and what amount would you expect?
[09:19] <melodie__> bye and thanks
[09:20] <ninstaah> avelldiroll, the ansvar llutz gave me is exactly what I was looking for (thanks llutz).
[09:20] <jolaren> Cerrdor: yeah, different pid.. fidel; I think one? It's an upstart thing
[09:20] <Smurphy> melodie__: ok.
[09:20] <ninstaah> answer*
[09:20] <Smurphy> Sorry ..
[09:20] <fidel> jolaren: shouldnt that be based on the apache config?
[09:20] <X01> :)
[09:20] <jolaren> fidel: it's running as root and as www-data
[09:20] <Cerrdor> yush
[09:20] <jolaren> i haven't looked at it earlier, just saw it now
[09:21] <llutz_> jolaren: check min-/maxspareservers in apache.conf
[09:21] <fidel> jolaren: having > 1 apache process is rteally nothing special
[09:21] <fidel> play with your apache config and tweak it to your needs
[09:21] <fidel> the default values are just .....'default values' matching for some .. not for others
[09:22] <Cerrdor> also might be diff domains using different apache properties
[09:22] <ninstaah> well llutz, I get bad substitution on this line; dotfix=echo ${domain//[^a-zA-Z]/_}   Did I do something wrong?
[09:22] <llutz_> ninstaah: dotfix= without echo
[09:23] <llutz_> ninstaah: the "echo" was just to demonstrate what the substitution does
[09:23] <guest-NSyYxW> :S
[09:23] <ninstaah> llutz, oh well - removed echo and I still get the error
[09:23] <jolaren> fidel: llutz_: okay.. so I shouldn't mind apache running as root? the website is not live, I access it only via ssh tunnel
[09:23] <sirriffsalot> Supposing I'm using opera... Opening magnet links proves itself to be rather difficult... What should I do when it says "The address type is unknown or unsupported"
[09:24] <ninstaah> llutz, a little pastie: http://pastie.org/4113414
[09:24] <llutz_> jolaren: it should run as www-data. check your conf
[09:24] <blackshroud> hi all
[09:25] <jolaren> ive looked after the conf in several places now, haven't found the parameter your stating llutz_ .. checked /etc/default/apache2 and /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
[09:25] <fidel> jolaren: i do see 1 root process here - and several owned by www-data
[09:25] <fidel> the first is wondering me myself a bit - the second is rhe expected part
[09:26] <llutz_> jolaren: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf   and be aware that webmin might break things
[09:26] <llutz_> !webmin  | jolaren
[09:26] <jolaren> fidel: then we are on the same page.. I have the same setup as you. I don't know how that happend.
[09:27] <jolaren> fidel: I didn't know that! I probarbly should remove webmin then, I've always used it.
[09:29] <fidel> jolaren: having 1 apache process owned by root isnt that special either btw
[09:29] <jolaren> fidel: I reckoned from your statement earlier, I felt more calm.
[09:29] <jolaren> Googled it, apparently it's normal
[09:29] <fidel> so - basically seeing > 1 process owned by www-data or similar users -> is fine - if you want less - consider checking your apache config for min/max etc
[09:29] <llutz_> ninstaah: works here
[09:31] <jolaren> fidel: llutz_ thanks for your assistance
[09:32] <sirriffsalot> Anyone on my torrent question?
[09:34] <trepidacious> I've got a bug renaming folders on a windows share - use F2 to rename, type any name, then double click folder to immediately navigate to it, then press back to get back to parent folder. This results in the folder being given a short, nearly random name that starts with the right letter, but then has random characters, and normally a "~" in the penultimate character.
[09:34] <trepidacious> Can anyone reproduce?
[09:37] <sirriffsalot> Nvm, I worked it out:)
[09:43] <aashish> Hi all, I am installing and configuring ubuntu 11.10, apache, passenger, rails app. But did not understood why nginx is being downloaded. The following is out put of starting passenger http://pastie.org/4113473
[09:45] <ELITE_LXVI> hey.
[09:47] <ELITE_LXVI> Anyone out there willing to help out a new linux user. I've been fiddleing for about 3 days now and personally i like what i see just looking for someone who can mentor me on a few things.
[09:47] <fidel> !ask > ELITE_LXVI
[09:48] <ELITE_LXVI> Well that was usefull information
[09:49] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: if you want help you have to ask a question
[09:50] <sage> Hello people, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i have this weird crackling (distortion) noise whenever i playing anything(mp3,avi, audio, video all) in Ubuntu (does not happen with otherp layers)..
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> sage:  you mean its just in the totem player?
[09:50] <ikonia> sage: tried a different audio application with the same files as a test ?
[09:50] <ELITE_LXVI> ok then a little confused but... Im curently running lubuntu on an old computer because of problems i had installing the full unbuntu and have been looking at alot of distros i like what i see especially arch linux but thats supossed to be hard with alot of terminal commands and as much as i like a challenge im looking for someone with expericance to teach me a few things about linux.
[09:51] <sirriffsalot> Any rootkit scanners or virus-protection tools otherwise that you warmly recommend for ubuntu?:)
[09:51] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: this channel offerss ubuntu support only
[09:51] <chu> ELITE_LXVI: Comw to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:51] <aashish> Hi all, I am installing and configuring ubuntu 11.10, apache, passenger, rails app. But did not understood why nginx is being downloaded. The following is out put of starting passenger http://pastie.org/4113473. Can anyone help
[09:51] <ikonia> sage: virus's work different in linux as such a virus isn't really going to be hit with antivirus scanning
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> a rootkit just cant 'pop on' you have to somehoww get hacked for it to get installed  dont it? ive never been clear on how one gets 'root-kitted'
[09:53] <ELITE_LXVI> in all matters of fact its on topic ubuntu is linux based and linux is based on unix so im within the terms and conditions to ask that question.
[09:53] <sirriffsalot> Dr_Willis, downloading stuff:D
[09:53] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, sounds strange... there are several rootkit scanners made for linux..
[09:53] <sirriffsalot> Must be for a reason
[09:53] <geirha> And LAMP + chmod 777
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> ELITE_LXVI:  you could just ask the specific question about the topic you are interested in.  asking for a 'mentor' woule be better in the ot chennel.
[09:54] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: sorry - you are not
[09:54] <chu> ELITE_LXVI: That may be so, but it's not a support question. Come to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[09:54] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: if you want ubuntu help, ask we are here to help, if you want archlinux help, use #archlinux channel, if you want generic linux discussion try ##linux
[09:54] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: it's very hard to "mentor" someone in linux on IRC, so if you have specific ubuntu questions, just ask
[09:54] <ELITE_LXVI> i did ask three questions in my last few comments and none were answered apart from me being off topic which im not im well within topic.
[09:54] <sage> yes Dr_Willis ikonia , it plays just normal in other players.
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> sirriffsalot:  rootkits exist.. not really seen any active/live viruses for ubuntu/linux
[09:55] <ikonia> ELITE_LXVI: do you have an ubuntu questions, yes/no ?
[09:55] <ikonia> sage: the issue is rookit scanners can only scan for known rootkit setups
[09:55] <sirriffsalot> Dr_Willis, I know, but might as well get it don't you think?:D
[09:55] <sage> this crackling sound, noise happens only when i play something in VLC media player
[09:55] <ELITE_LXVI> ok we got somewhere wasnt to hard was it?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> sage:  in vlc?  you said in gnome/totem earliuer... for VLC try changeing the  audio device/output in its settings. I have to use either Pulse or alsa. to remove bad noise.
[09:56] <sage> Dr_Willis, i tried all output but it makes no difference.. still the same sound..
[09:56] <fishbait> on certain flash video sites when i go fullscreen it exceed my monitor size. how do i fix this?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> you are closeing and restarting vlc after changeing the setting?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> i recall needing to do that
[09:57] <sage> lemme try doing that
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> or at least totally stopping or loading a differnt video file.
[09:58] <aprendepython_bl> hi to all!!
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> i had to twiddle with it a little bit. ;)
[09:59] <fishbait> ... i hope theres a resoloution to this problem
[10:00] <fishbait> my vlc is working perfectly after switching to pulse audio server output
[10:00] <rubik> Hello, if i have added some network shortcuts in nautilus , how do i have that shortcuts/bookmarks appear in other windows , such as the 'select file' attachment window in thunderbird ? Am running 12.04
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> saw a 'trick' at askubuntu.com earlier today about using a firefox plugin to make flash videos automcaially play in vlc, or totem, or mplayer, thus totally bypassing flash  ;)
[10:02] <sage> damn.. no use Dr_Willis i have been googling around since two days.. i guess this is a bug..
[10:02] <fishbait> on certain flash video sites when i go fullscreen it exceed my monitor size. how do i fix this? i got youtube working properly but now this
[10:02] <sage> i ll have to ditch VLC i guess.. as all works perfectly fine in other players..
[10:02] <geirha> rubik: Either the application supports it or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you have to dig into ~/.gvfs
[10:02] <rubik> ok i'll look that up, tq
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> sage:  i belive the 'default' setitng in vlc was buggy for me. but 'alsa' worked'
[10:03] <sage> nothing plays in Alsa here
[10:03] <sage> no output at all
[10:03] <fishbait> is alsa using the right device?
[10:04] <sage> how to determine that @ fishbait ?
[10:04] <geirha> rubik: Gnome-specific applications will see them, since they interface with gnome's volume manager, but it's upto each application whether it wants to interface with it or not. At any rate, a directory for the mapping will be inside the hidden folder .gvfs in your homedir.
[10:04] <rubik> my .gvfs folder is empty ?
[10:05] <sage> fishbait, i get you buddy
[10:05] <sage> damn! It worked
[10:05] <geirha> rubik: are they mounted?
[10:05] <sage> thanks Dr_Willis
[10:05] <sage> thanks fishbait  :D :D
[10:05] <geirha> rubik: open one in nautilus, then check .gvfs again
[10:05] <rubik> no, it's access through SMB
[10:05] <rubik> ok there it is
[10:05] <rubik> my bad
[10:06] <fishbait> thats what it was for me every single time there was absolutley no sound at all
[10:06] <fishbait> now if only i could get videoweed to full screen properly
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> it would be weird that alsa dident work at all.. since pulse uses alsa
[10:06] <sirriffsalot> I ran rkhunter and this came up " /usr/bin/unhide.rb                                       [ Warning ]"
[10:06] <sirriffsalot> But unhide.rb is a rootkit scanning program:S
[10:07] <sirriffsalot> Should I be concerned?:D
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> it would be weird that alsa dident work at all.. since pulse uses alsa
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> oops. ;)
[10:07] <sage> i selected ALSA audio output, then in device droplist, i selected Analog 5.1 surround ouput and it worked !
[10:07] <rubik> so if i want to attach a file in thunderbird that's on my network/smb share , i gotta either copy that file locally first or go to .gfvs link ?
[10:08] <jacobat> Is there some way to easily install all locales?
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> rubik:  not all apps support the  file:// or smb:// type paths that nautilus would be using..  some do.
[10:08] <sirriffsalot>     Checking for passwd file changes                         [ Warning ]    Checking for group file changes                          [ Warning ]
[10:08] <sirriffsalot> Haha:D
[10:08] <UnPtitZebre> Hi! Just got some problem with my dell inspiron 8200 when trying to install ubuntu 12.04... I got a "sector error 0400"...
[10:08] <sirriffsalot> And  Checking for hidden files and directories                [ Warning ]
[10:08] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: is there a reason you are scanning for root kits
[10:08] <rubik> ok thx
[10:09] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: do you believe you have been compromised
[10:09] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, just thought I'd try it:P There never really is cause rootkits can't be seen, so checking:P
[10:09] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, well now I do, since it says [Warning]
[10:09] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: stop checking
[10:09] <sirriffsalot> But the files aren't exactly externally gotten
[10:09] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, why lol
[10:09] <UnPtitZebre> Hi! Just got some problem with my dell inspiron 8200 when trying to install ubuntu 12.04... I got a "sector error 0400"...
[10:09] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: root kit checkers are not valid, they can give false positives as they are not dynamic in their scan, they basically search for file checksum sizes and simple things like that
[10:10] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: which is what I tried to tell you at the start
[10:10] <spacejunk>  irc.irc4lyf.com
[10:10] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: so unless you have reason to believe you have been comrpomised, you are wasting your time
[10:10] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, there rarely is a reason, rootkits hide! I just want to check for the heck of it:)
[10:10] <fishbait> now if only i could get flash to full screen properly. is there any sort of config i can set to fix its fullscreen resoloution?
[10:10] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: then you are wasting your time and you'll end up getting concerned over nothing
[10:11] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, but these warnings are harmless then, is that what you're saying?
[10:11] <ikonia> as you are doing now
[10:11] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, how about telling me when I should be alert:)
[10:11] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: no, that's not what I'm saying, they could be genuine, they could be false positives becuase the rootkit scanner is not valid
[10:11] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: this is the point I'm making genericlly running rootkit scanners is pointless
[10:11] <Larcyn> Hello guys, could someone help me with a login error? (Ubuntu 12.04). When I try to login with my correct details I just get back into the screen, does anyone know why this error occour?
[10:11] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, so why do they make them..?
[10:11] <peetaur> Can you find root kits when mounting a suspect disk in a non-rootkitted OS?
[10:11] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: unless you have a reason to believe you have been compromised and can focus on that, you are wasting your time and will not get sane results
[10:12] <sirriffsalot> ikonia, how should one tell if there is a genuine reason to be concerned?
[10:12] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: symptoms
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> monitor network trafficc perhaps/
[10:12] <sirriffsalot> Such as?
[10:12] <fishbait> insanity is doing the same thing in the same circumstances and expecting different results
[10:12] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: there isn't a "such as"
[10:12] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: it's based on experience, you see things that are not right for your system
[10:13] <sirriffsalot> No examples of that..?:(
[10:13] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: no, as it's specific to the machine you are running
[10:13] <sirriffsalot> Humm ok
[10:14] <fishbait> i can't get flash to full screen properly on some websites. is there any sort of config i can set to fix its fullscreen resoloution?
[10:14] <bibi23> hi, how can I check if a package has already been installed with apt-get isntall?
[10:15] <ikonia> bibi23: apt-get install package, if it's installed it will say "package already installed"
[10:16] <bibi23> ikonia: but I don't want to install it, just check if it's here
[10:16] <Heksos> Hello
[10:16] <ikonia> bibi23: dpkg -l | grep package
[10:18] <achille> hi guys !!!
[10:18] <sirriffsalot> hey!
[10:18] <Heksos> Hey!
[10:18] <achille> can anyone help me please ,  i found a bug  but i dont know against which package i have to report it . the bug goes as follow  when  opening  a gtk app  (gedit for example)  the menubar appears on both  the application   and the global menu    but only  when these apps are running on kde
[10:18] <sirriffsalot> Is there a program in linux for extracting the audio out of a video file?
[10:18] <bibi23> ikonia: ok it looks good thanks, but I don't understand why? it says dpkg is for debian packages, and I've never used it, how can it know wich packages are installed? apt-get and dpkg are the same?
[10:19] <ikonia> bibi23: dpkg is the package manager for the "deb" package format used for both ubuntu and debian
[10:19] <ikonia> bibi23: apt-get is an interface or "hook" into dpkg
[10:19] <ikonia> sirriffsalot: mencoder can do it
[10:19] <sacarlson> sirriffsalot: ffmpeg is one of many that can separate audio from video file
[10:20] <sirriffsalot> Ah, cheers. Already have ffmpeg so

[10:21] <bibi23> ikonia: ok, but what shorcuts apt-get brings to us? the short name packages instead of the whole deb url?

[10:29] <HardFu> strange problem, when I install heartbeat the file /etc/ha.d/shellfuncs isn't installed because I deleted it manually then removed and purged the package
[10:29] <HardFu> how can i reset a package state completely to 0 as if it were never on the system
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> HardFu  you may have to delete some hidden .config file
[10:30] <HardFu> where can I find it
[10:30] <Zallx> Purge xor remove
[10:30] <xan> apt-get remove --purge package ?
[10:30] <HardFu> tried that

[10:36] <QuasiNerd> any one have any Ubuntu hardening advice? I set up clamAV to run daily and got a root kit prog. also using firestarter
[10:36] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: don't depend on rootkit scanners
[10:36] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: don't use a virus scanner
[10:36] <ikonia> they will make no difference to your systmes security
[10:37] <QuasiNerd> what should i use?
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> QuasiNerd  do you have windows machine in your network?
[10:37] <sacarlson> QuasiNerd: tripwire
[10:37] <QuasiNerd> yes
[10:37] <QuasiNerd> need an IDS?
[10:37] <QuasiNerd> snort
[10:37] <QuasiNerd> ?
[10:38] <QuasiNerd> is tripwire an IDS?
[10:38] <sacarlson> QuasiNerd: I don't know what an ids is
[10:38] <QuasiNerd> IDS is an intrusion detection system
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> intrusion detection system (thank you duck duck go)
[10:39] <MonkeyDust> QuasiNerd  guess you don't really need it in linux
[10:39] <sacarlson> QuasiNerd: http://netwizards.co.uk/installing-tripwire-on-ubuntu/
[10:40] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: you'll pretty much make your machine unusalbe if you put trip wire policies on
[10:40] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: tripwire is meant for secure environments or ones under change control
[10:40] <ikonia> if you are doing this on a home/small setup, it's not worth the effort, just apply sensible security practices to your enviornment
[10:41] <sacarlson> QuasiNerd: linux/ubuntu has many layers of security
[10:42] <linux> ?
[10:42] <QuasiNerd> i was using it on a Acer laptop and after two days the usb stopped working but worked in Win7

[10:42] <ubuntu_64bit> keyring password what is it
[10:43] <neokya> Hi everyone.
[10:43] <linux> what is that?
[10:43] <ubuntu_64bit> hi neokya
[10:43] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: you are wasting your time with respect, those sorts of tools will add no value
[10:44] <neokya> Bluetooth device on Sony with Ubuntu 12.04 is not working
[10:44] <QuasiNerd> just installed tripwire and need to configure it
[10:44] <neokya> How to fix it?
[10:44] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: I again advise you not to do this, it will make your laptop unusable
[10:44] <QuasiNerd> it says to keep the binarys on writeprotectable device
[10:45] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: you will make your machine unusable if you continue down this path
[10:45] <QuasiNerd> why do you say that?
[10:45] <QuasiNerd> checking integrity sounds good to me
[10:45] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: because those tools are not designed for someone using a laptop on a day to day basis
[10:45] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: then continue, ignore the advice and continue, however you will find your laptop will be unusable
[10:46] <ubuntu_64bit> keyring password needed http://imagebin.org/217063
[10:46] <QuasiNerd> fine i will not configure it on your advice
[10:46] <QuasiNerd> how do I uninstall it?
[10:46] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: how did you install it
[10:46] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia  keyring password needed http://imagebin.org/217063
[10:46] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia need a help
[10:46] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: put the password in
[10:46] <QuasiNerd> through software center
[10:46] <ikonia> QuasiNerd: uninstall it through software center then
[10:47] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia,  i didnt set it before but it request me

[10:48] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia,  for sure am tell you that i have the  normal password for login in my pc but i have set  for that keyring password
[10:49] <QuasiNerd> tripwire is now removed
[10:49] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: try your old password

[10:49] <d8bhatta> Hello All, I am getting mail sending error message one after another.
[10:50] <d8bhatta> I am using amazon server and I can send email from amazon server. But when I use the email server info into my local (ssmtp), email is not getting sent...IError message :: sendmail: 554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified.
[10:50] <ezbbunk> I can select a special source
[10:50] <ezbbunk> how to do the same on ubuntu? i.e. I am playing an .mp3 and want people on skype to hear it
[10:50] <ikonia> d8bhatta: check what amazons relaying dependencies are
[10:50] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia,   even the old one cuz  i have set but i decide to install new ubuntu released  i.e12.04   but for now it request me that keyring password
[10:51] <sacarlson> d8bhatta: I use an agent to send though like gmail.com
[10:51] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: I don't know your keyring password
[10:51] <C-S-B> d8bhatta: that error looks to be sent from the smtp server
[10:51] <gr33n7007h> ubuntu_64bit, try deleting the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings
[10:51] <ubuntu_64bit> okay  hw to reset it  ikonia
[10:51] <C-S-B> d8bhatta: I'd check that whatever email needs verifying, is verified.
[10:52] <d8bhatta> C-S-B: how can i check this?
[10:52] <ubuntu_64bit> gr33n7007h, can i have the command for  delete gnome 2 keyring
[10:52] <sacarlson> d8bhatta: I use exim4  to forward mail through my gmail.com account that is verified
[10:53] <gr33n7007h> ubuntu_64bit, rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings then logout and login
[10:53] <ubuntu_64bit> gr33n7007h, let me make it
[10:53] <d8bhatta> sacarlson: can I install this in amazon server?
[10:54] <sirriffsalot> In synaptic, how do I know if the dependencies listed in "properties" are actually installed without searching each and every one in synaptic?
[10:54] <sacarlson> d8bhatta: I'm not sure about amazon never used it http://islandlinux.org/howto/configure-exim-use-gmail-smtp-server
[10:56] <sacarlson> d8bhatta: there are other ways of setup that require ssl and certificates for your site that I never played with

[11:16] <fuzzynurfhurter> hi yall
[11:16] <drag0nius> hello
[11:16] <fuzzynurfhurter> hi drag
[11:16] <drag0nius> do ubuntu server need some additional hardware to be able to connect to PPPoA?
[11:17] <drag0nius> i've router-modem right now with some poor functionality and available Bridge Mode
[11:17] <codepimp> now that aircrack-ng is out of the repos is there another program to put my wifi into mon0 ?
[11:17] <codepimp> I need monitor mode
[11:17] <drag0nius> wondering if i could use it in bridge mode and then set up and further distribute connection with ubuntu server
[11:19] <fuzzynurfhurter> what folder in root do u have to put wallpapers and themes to get xubuntu to find it
[11:20] <Kartagis> fuzzynurfhurter: /usr/share/background
[11:20] <Kartagis> fuzzynurfhurter: not sure about themes
[11:20] <sacarlson> drag0nius: don't you connect to your router modem from ethernet?
[11:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> ok i know theres a theme file there too but when i put them in there it never shows the theme
[11:21] <drag0nius> yeah i do
[11:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> i was thinking it was that
[11:21] <fuzzynurfhurter> thx kartagis
[11:22] <Kartagis> no problem
[11:22] <sacarlson> drag0nius: then it probly already has dhcp server that can be setup to share with others on your net
[11:22] <fuzzynurfhurter> ne 1 ever had a problem with any linux distro after rebooting it never does??
[11:22] <drag0nius> i want to move modem-functionality to computer
[11:22] <drag0nius> so i could have better control over what is going on
[11:23] <sacarlson> drag0nius: you want to move the dhcpd to your system?  that can also be done
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> fuzzynurfhurter  no system is without problems, cars need mechanics too
[11:23] <drag0nius> lemme think how could i describe what i want achieve xD
[11:24] <fuzzynurfhurter> lol true i do that too
[11:24] <fuzzynurfhurter> it happens every time when i reboot i have to hard crash then reboot
[11:24] <drag0nius> basically most modems have hardcoded resetting connection every 24h
[11:24] <drag0nius> sadly mine too
[11:25] <HardFu> where does Ubuntu store apt-get stuff (like which packages are installed and dependencies and so on)
[11:25] <sacarlson> drag0nius: that is controled at your ISP for the length of the lease that they provide
[11:25] <drag0nius> my friend on same ISP does not have resets
[11:25] <sacarlson> drag0nius: you can arange with your ISP for a static IP for more money
[11:25] <ikonia> HardFu: the packages are decompressed and the files placed in the correct places on the file system
[11:26] <drag0nius> he has same connection offer, same ISP just different modem
[11:26] <sacarlson> drag0nius: so your friend runs a static ip on your ISP without added charge?
[11:26] <drag0nius> and lives ~4 km away
[11:26] <drag0nius> he has dynamic too
[11:26] <drag0nius> just his is resetting whenever he resets it manually
[11:27] <HardFu> ikonia: crap, I've been fiddling with manual removal of files, now I get bunch of errors on apt-get operations
[11:27] <drag0nius> but well back to topic
[11:27] <drag0nius> could i move all the modem functionality to ubuntu server using Bridge Mode Only on modem?
[11:27] <ikonia> HardFu: yeah, you can't remove the package if you've removed it's contents
[11:27] <drag0nius> or it's not that simple?
[11:27] <ikonia> HardFu: you can try to force it, or better still, re-install the package, then remove it
[11:28] <sacarlson> drag0nius: you can change your router to bridge mode I suppose and setup routing to work around it,  but I've never tried it
[11:28] <tylo> Hey guys, I need some help configuring a vm. I downloaded an image of bugzilla for the vmware player. Now I want to access my vm through my server from the internet. How do I manage to do that ?
[11:28] <HardFu> ikonia: it seems i'm in some kind of dependency loop :)
[11:28] <sacarlson> drag0nius: I wouldn't even know how you would find out what your ip address is on your modem in bridged mode
[11:29] <HardFu> I'll try forcing reinstall
[11:29] <ikonia> tylo: what virtual technology is the image designed for
[11:29] <usr13> sacarlson: (Just turn off the dhcp server?)
[11:29] <drag0nius> i'm logging in using PPPoA/PPPoE
[11:29] <tylo> ikonia: nat i guess
[11:29] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia, in my disk no such a directory called gnome/keyrings
[11:29] <atotem> Hello everyone! I'm wondering if Ubuntu would be a good OS for a small office server. Things it should handle would be sharing connected printer (HP LaserJet M1005), running one or two database and hosting simple web based app. The desktop clients would be Windows XP/ 7 PC's. My question is: would it work good in this configuration?
[11:29] <drag0nius> i just saw that my other router WRT54GL with tomato firmware has no DSL socket, but supports PPPoE
[11:29] <usr13> sacarlson: Oh no, I see what he's saying.
[11:30] <sacarlson> drag0nius: oh ya that's part of what the modem does it logs in so in bridged mode your system would have to do that
[11:30] <ikonia> tylo: nat is not a vm technology, is it vmware, kvm, vbox etc
[11:30] <fidel> atotem: i dont see a reason why it shouldnt work in general - but it should work with almost any linux distri out there
[11:30] <drag0nius> im willing to set up home server and thought i could use it to manage everything
[11:30] <sacarlson> usr13: I'm not sure I've never done it
[11:30] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: I already told you can't help you
[11:30] <tylo> ikonia: ah its vmware. VMWare player to be specific
[11:31] <usr13> drag0nius: Yes, you can tell the router to do the PPPoE authentication and set the DSL Modem to bridge mode, (if you want), but there's really no advantage to doing it.
[11:31] <ikonia> tylo: ok, so you need to install vmware
[11:31] <ubuntu_64bit> okay ikonia  but would u look for an expert to help me
[11:31] <ikonia> tylo: the guys in #vmware can help you setup the image for use once you've installed vmware
[11:31] <tylo> ikonia: i got vmware installed and the image running
[11:31] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: no
[11:31] <drag0nius> could i tell Ubuntu Server to do the authentication?
[11:31] <ikonia> tylo: apologies then, I'm not seeing the problem if you have it running
[11:31] <tylo> ikonia: i just cant access the internal ip of the vm outside of my server
[11:32] <tylo> ikonia: which I want to do :)
[11:32] <sacarlson> drag0nius: I would think usr13 is correct but if your friend has done it can't you see what his method is?
[11:32] <ikonia> tylo: the guys in #vmware can help you setup vmware then
[11:32] <ikonia> tylo: it sounds like bridging is not setup
[11:32] <usr13> atotem: Yes
[11:32] <drag0nius> my friend is using factory defaults with just login info added
[11:32] <usr13> drag0nius: yes
[11:33] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia, so would i regret for use ubuntu
[11:33] <usr13> drag0nius: But Ubuntu Server will need to be directly connected to the Modem, (and ultimately share the internet connection with the rest of your network).
[11:34] <drag0nius> other than that problem is with my DSL modem that it totally fucks up if i want to reconnect quickly
[11:34] <drag0nius> after restart
[11:34] <drag0nius> if i get dcd and click reconnect too fast it's like i can only plug it out of power to connect again
[11:35] <drag0nius> i guess ubuntu server wouldnt have such prob
[11:35] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: ok then, that's your call
[11:35] <drag0nius> thats also what i want to achieve
[11:35] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia YAP
[11:35] <drag0nius> i could do traffic shaping and stuff then
[11:36] <drag0nius> right now there is nothing in between modem and router
[11:36] <drag0nius> and router manages everything in LAN
[11:37] <drag0nius> could you give me some hint of what tool to use to authenticate in DSL?
[11:38] <ikonia> drag0nius: network manager should handle the authentication for you
[11:38] <drag0nius> just so? ;d
[11:38] <drag0nius> awesome
[11:40] <sacarlson> drag0nius: I do trafic shaping already without setup bridge mode I just act as a center bridge to the rest of my network to do that
[11:41] <atotem> Ok. Can you help me find some tutorial/how to or show me the direction where to look for informations how to install, set up and configure a Ubuntu Server?
[11:41] <jrib> !install | atotem
[11:41] <drag0nius> yeh, but my modem's authetication seems flawed
[11:42] <sacarlson> drag0nius: maybe you should flash your modem with new firmware
[11:42] <drag0nius> there is none :)
[11:42] <drag0nius> factory default was newest
[11:42] <sacarlson> drag0nius: what's the model number of you modem?
[11:42] <drag0nius> WAG120N
[11:42] <drag0nius> i actually think of selling it and getting some modem-modem ;d
[11:44] <ciarli> ciao
[11:44] <ciarli> !list
[11:44] <sacarlson> drag0nius: sounds like you want the older firmware 1.00.12
[11:46] <sacarlson> drag0nius: http://www.4shared.com/zip/WE2Ky6DG/wag120n_annexa_etsi_fw_10012.html
[11:46] <vectorshelve> getting this error while trying to ssh the server... can anyone help please.. -> http://pastie.org/4113982
[11:46] <usr13> drag0nius: You might want to look into dd-wrt
[11:46] <sacarlson> drag0nius: looks like the new firmware has a bug
[11:46] <drag0nius> dd-wrt even supports this?
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> what is with the whole ciao list thing? i see that almost every day
[11:46] <drag0nius> when i bought it, dd-wrt didnt i think
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> Dr_Willis  they are 'Listalians'
[11:47] <drag0nius> could u gimme some info about what is the bug?
[11:47] <usr13> drag0nius: dd-wrt supports traffic shaping
[11:48] <drag0nius> but i dont think it supports my router model
[11:48] <drag0nius> its not just router, it has modem in it and this is the problem as far as i remember
[11:49] <usr13> drag0nius: trade it for another.  ebay
[11:51] <sacarlson> drag0nius: I read more and looks like they have problems with firware 12 also, so I guess get a new modem
[11:51] <fuzzynurfhurter> i got a small problem with the desktop the session manager down at the bottom right i made the task bar clear but the session manager is gray
[11:52] <usr13> drag0nius: Well, you can certianly do as you suggested, use a ubuntu box to authenticate with PPPoE, but it would need to be set up to share the internet connection with the rest of your network.  You'd need to add a second Network Card, and then place a switch or router between it and the rest of your network.
[11:52] <sacarlson> drag0nius: no I don't think dd-wrt supports that modem eather usr13  you can check to be sure
[11:53] <sacarlson> usr13: you can run more than one network on a single nic,  it just won't be as secure
[11:54] <sacarlson> usr13: oh maybe in this case you would want two nics since now your on wan direct?
[11:54] <usr13> sacarlson: No, he would need to add another NIC
[11:54] <sacarlson> usr13: you can run virtual networks but I'm not sure
[11:55] <drag0nius> would it be better to get some standard DSL modem or internal DSL network card?
[11:55] <usr13> sacarlson: What you are talking about does not apply to this situation.  (Can not do it with one NIC.)
[11:55] <sacarlson> drag0nius: I would just get a standard external dsl box
[11:55] <Guest76054> hi, i get a kernel panic when booting ubuntu. I have about 10 other old kernels, and i get a kernel too when i try to boot with those.. any ideas on how i can fix this?
[11:55] <drag0nius> any suggestions on model?
[11:56] <drag0nius> i remember there was some legendary speedstream 4100 or sth
[11:56] <usr13> Guest76054: May be a hardware problem.
[11:56] <Guest76054> usr13, i can boot with a very old installed kernel
[11:56] <drag0nius> that worked with everything flawlessly ;d
[11:56] <Guest76054> it started to fail after an upgrade
[11:56] <wer_> Hi, I am trying to compile linux2.6.34. I am logged in as guest. I have successfully performed make menuconfig and make. But while doing make modules_install, I get permission denied error. Even sudo is not working
[11:56] <gartral> Guest76054: your upgrade went horribly wrong.
[11:57] <usr13> Guest76054: What got upgraded?
[11:57] <Guest76054> any idea on how i can see the full error. (only the end of the stack get printed and i cant scroll it)
[11:57] <Guest76054> ?
[11:57] <wer_> Hi, I am trying to compile linux2.6.34. I am logged in as guest. I have successfully performed make menuconfig and make. But while doing make modules_install, I get permission denied error. Even sudo is not working. Even I am not able to copy the make file to /usr/share
[11:58] <Guest76054> usr13: i just upgraded with the package manager .. i didnt see which packages.. the recommended ones
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> wer_:  why are you logged in as guest and not the sudo enabled user?
[11:58] <usr13> Guest76054: Look at the dates.
[11:58] <sacarlson> wer_: you should use the fakeroot method and create a deb file so you can uninstall the kernel you create
[11:58] <Guest76054> usr13,  the dates of what?
[11:58] <gartral> Guest76054: not really. your kinda boned. I would, with 2 drives, or a flashdrive and install cd try and boot into that, backup my home, and reinstall from scratch.
[11:59] <sacarlson> wer_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[11:59] <Guest76054> gartral, how do you know? maybe it is an easy to solve things.. i just cant see the error
[11:59] <ndlovu> hi all. is there a log file that gets written to during upgrades? I've got a machine that's mid-upgrade with a seemingly frozen x session, but I can login over the network. Now I'm not sure whether it's actually still busy or just hanging.
[12:01] <usr13> Guest76054: Packages:  ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/
[12:01] <alankila> ndlovu: you can try switch off X with some ctrl+alt+f1 keypress, although it might mess things up further
[12:01] <alankila> that could help trying to get a console to login with
[12:02] <alankila> but there's a risk that VGA console isn't going to look right but you get a displayful of corrupt graphics instead.
[12:02] <ndlovu> alankila, I'd rather not do anything that could jeopardise the upgrade process, so I'd like to do as much as I can through the terminal session before starting to kill things
[12:02] <alankila> if the X is entirely nonresponsive and network is out, however, I'd think that this is one of the few things left to try apart from just waiting. But dpkg updates have a habit of asking questions.
[12:03] <alankila> to gain control of the dpkg, you can kill apt-get and dpkg with kill -15 and -9 if it doesn't die with 15.
[12:03] <alankila> then write dpkg --configure -a to finish configuring all the packages which were left in broken state.
[12:03] <ndlovu> alankila, I can get in through the network
[12:03] <alankila> the dpkg --configure -a is *extremely* important step.
[12:03] <sacarlson> alankila: looks like ndlovu has a console from a remote ssh session he just needs to find out what to look at
[12:03] <alankila> ndlovu: apologies, read poorly
[12:04] <Guest76054> usr13, what should i look for in that list? are those the dates of package upgrades?
[12:04] <alankila> yes, you can use top to try to determine if the upgrade is still doing something
[12:04] <ndlovu> alankila, but --configure -a is useful to know
[12:04] <alankila> if you see io wait, or anything vaguely upgrade-related processes using a lot of cpu it's probably still working.
[12:04] <usr13> Guest76054: Package upgrades are same as installed packages.  (You are looking for date/time of upgrade.)
[12:05] <ndlovu> alankila, there's a precise process which is still busy, but I'm wondering what it's busy with
[12:05] <Guest76054> usr13, do you have any idea how i can see or log the output of the bootup of my system? i would like to see what the kernel panic is but i can only see the end of the stack and cannot scroll
[12:05] <alankila> if the system sees quiescent, however, it's probably time to kill the dpkg and apt-get and then invoke the --configure -a. I do strongly caution from never rebooting system with unconfigured packages, though.
[12:05] <usr13> Guest76054: From that output you should be able to see which packages were upgraded at the particular time you pulled the triger on the update.
[12:05] <alankila> debian systems are incredibly broken with packages in unconfigured state, sadly.
[12:06] <usr13> Guest76054: Do you see the date?
[12:06]  * alankila remembers certain ubuntu release which tended to systematically fail at updates but GNOME told to reboot after the apt-get exited, even if it exited with error. People who rebooted got a completely broken system.
[12:07] <studio> I updated nvidia-common because I couldn't get any sound from 12.04, but that didn't work.
[12:07] <studio> Still no sound.
[12:07] <alankila> had to do initramfs hackery a few times to mount root and finish the configure. :-/
[12:07] <Guest76054> usr13,  the problem is.. it started failing 10 upgrades ago.. i upgrade regularly to see if the new upgrade fixes the problem.. it usually doesnt, and i kept booting with an old kernel.
[12:07] <Guest76054> that log has a bunch of 'linux-image-3.0.0-20-generic.list' in them
[12:07] <studio> THis is pissing me off.  Any suggestions to fix it before I scrap this distro and go shopping for a new one?
[12:07] <Guest76054> an other things i think are kernel upgrades
[12:08] <Guest76054> if i boot with a very old kernel, i can boot up and run normally
[12:08] <usr13> Guest76054: Oh, I see.
[12:08] <gigix> ipassW12
[12:09] <studio> seriously?  nine thousand people in the room, and nobody can help me fix my sound?
[12:09] <Guest76054> where would a kernel panic during bootup get logged?  in dmesg? i see nothing in dmesg :(
[12:09] <fuzzynurfhurter> i got a q with that initramfs alankila i have a few distros that just go to that but dont know where to direct it in the grub.cfg?
[12:10] <usr13> Guest76054: You might try looking for the latest kernel in that list, (ls -ltr shows latest last), and re-install that kenrnel.
[12:11] <usr13> Guest76054: Or uninstall and re-install, (maybe even using purge).
[12:11] <niku> hi all
[12:11] <sacarlson> Guest76054: you could look at the date time stamps of files in /var/log if any files were changed at last panic,  but if root wasn't mounted yet there will be no logs to look at
[12:11] <usr13> Guest76054: Or just any of the latest ones that have recently been installed.
[12:12] <r00ted> hello
[12:12] <usr13> Guest76054: It sounds like it is a kernel module that is being loaded into the running kernel.  If you watch closely as it boots a broken one, you may be able to see it.
[12:13] <sacarlson> studio: did you read this yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[12:13] <Guest76054> how do you know that?
[12:14] <fuzzynurfhurter> usr13 when i do that it never shows it
[12:14] <Guest76054> does 'purge' delete old kernels? i want to keep the old ones because i can still boot with the old kernel
[12:17] <Guest76054> how can i tell my sytem to 'download and install/reinstall the latest kernel ' ?
[12:20] <Guest76054> i guess i could keep working with an x year old kernel
[12:21] <jrib> Guest76054: what ubuntu version?
[12:21] <Guest76054> ubuntu 11.10

[12:29] <Guest76054> the kernel panic is probably during the loading of the kernel, im guessing?

[12:41] <rotham> hey.. how do i clear flash cookies on ubuntu?
[12:41] <ikonia> gabx666: it should do,
[12:42] <gabx666> ikonia : can't see any option or menu for that
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> rotham  what browser?
[12:42] <ikonia> gabx666: I think it shows up if you choose advanced in partitioning
[12:42] <rotham> MonkeyDust: firefox
[12:42] <gabx666> ikonia. OK, let me check
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> rotham  Tools - Clear recent history - cookies are there too
[12:44] <rotham> thanks, but flash stores objects somewhere else on the computer
[12:44] <rotham> i found it in ~/.macromedia/Flash/#sharedobjects
[12:44] <SilK> try /home/user/.macromedia
[12:48] <usr13> rotham: Your question was not about cookies but temporary internet files.
[12:49] <RxDx> please, anyone knows any program to make annotations and marks on PDFs?
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> RxDx  try inkscape
[12:50] <NoVoteLoss> RxDx PDFeditor?
[12:50] <RxDx> MonkeyDust, isnt inkscape for vectorial graphic draw?
[12:50] <RxDx> NoVoteLoss, ill try, thanks
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> RxDx  yes, but you can edit pdf with it
[12:51] <RxDx> MonkeyDust, actually i dont want to edit it, i just want to make annotation to read it later
[12:54] <usr13> RxDx: Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, mode editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text direct XML editing, and more.
[12:54] <usr13> RxDx: (From the README)
[12:55] <RxDx> usr13, ahh sure, ill try.. thanks
[12:58] <dwakar> today i upgraded my ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 , well the mousewheel scroll doesn't work in firefox! i have to click and drag it.
[12:58] <dwakar> i hear this is some kind of bug, is there a workaround for this
[12:58] <ndlovu> ok, with for my stalled upgrade, I checked main.log, apt.log and term.log in /var/log/dist-upgrade, and none of them are currently being written to. I assume therefore that the upgrade is hanging somewhere, possibly waiting for input from the locked x terminal. My plan is now to 1) kill dpkg, 2) run dpkg --configure -a to try and rescue the upgrade according to alankila's suggestion. Right process?
[12:59] <superlinux-hp> hi, i has anyone of you played TORCS?
[12:59] <raph_ael> hi, since a few days, middle click stopped working (awesome wm, 12.04, i386), i also saw that there were some updates : xserver-xorg-input-evdev desktop-file-utils, xkb* et desktop-file-utils
[13:00] <superlinux-hp> the car racing game
[13:00] <superlinux-hp> cos when i go to pit stop i cannot know how to fix my car
[13:01] <agc93> superlinux-hp: you might get better results in a gaming/TORCS channel then here. This is an Ubuntu support channel
[13:01] <mi3> !offtopic | superlinux-hp
[13:03] <lolol3> http://cur.lv/st0 help please, paste here
[13:04] <dwakar> just upgraded  to 12.04 ,  the mousewheel scroll doesn't work in firefox. is there a workaround for this bug.
[13:04] <thedark> Hello. I have just done a clean install of Xubuntu 12.04 I have an old TV hooked up with S-Video to my laptop, and it is detected but not displaying. I think it is because the Refresh Rate is too high. How do I change the Refresh Rate for the TV?
[13:05] <res_> I just compiled a new kernel, is i possible to copy my existing  drivers to the new one ?
[13:05] <agc93> res_ were they baked in or built as kernel modules?
[13:06] <Aritz> --help
[13:06] <usr13> res_: If you compiled properly, they should be included already.
[13:07] <res_> agc93: The older kernel is from the default installation. I just compiled a new one and added it the grub menu. I just wanted to make sure that when I boot into the new kernel, all the drivers are there
[13:07] <ubuntu_64bit> hi all
[13:07] <res_> agc93: usr13 My defaul kernel version is 3.2.26 while I am compiling <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:07] <usr13> thedark: You just have to go to video settings and select the output and see if your current video driver software supports a screensize resolution that is suitable for the TV.
[13:08] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia  keyring password needed http://imagebin.org/217063
[13:09] <usr13> thedark: If it is an analog TV, well...
[13:09] <ubuntu_64bit>   keyring password needed http://imagebin.org/217063
[13:09] <ubuntu_64bit> any one with idea of keyring password
[13:10] <ikonia> ubuntu_64bit: I don't care, please stop asking me for help with it, I've told you 4 times I cannot help you
[13:10] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit:  If you have forgotten your password, I dont think there is anything we can do.
[13:11] <ubuntu_64bit> ikonia,  sorry
[13:11] <thedark> does anyone know how to change the refresh rate of a monitor in Xubuntu 12.04?
[13:12] <usr13> I always tell people to stay away from the keyring because if you ever loose the password, you're hosed.
[13:12] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, how  to delete it
[13:12] <usr13> thedark: try    xrandr
[13:13] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, even how to reset  the ppassword
[13:13] <thedark> usr: thanks, I will try it now
[13:13] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: I already told you, can  NOT help you.
[13:14] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, but i didnt set it before how comes  it request me to enter
[13:14] <agc93> ubuntu_64bit if you forget your password, it wouldnt be a very secure system that you could easily recover it again. We can't help you
[13:14] <agc93> ubuntu_64bit have you tried your user password?
[13:14] <Pici> !password
[13:14] <Jacta> Can anyone help me get Empathy to work correct with skype (12.04 x64)
[13:14] <usr13> agc93: There is no use in trying to help him guess it.  There is nothing we can do.
[13:15] <ubuntu_64bit> agc93, i dint forget it but i didnt set it before  so am just wondering for this ubuntu OS  to rrequest me  that password
[13:15] <agc93> ubuntu_64bit did you try your user password?
[13:15] <OerHeks> ubuntu_64bit is on a live cd?
[13:15] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, i have been tried several times but nos success
[13:16] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: Again, my best advice is not to use it.
[13:16] <ubuntu_64bit> OerHeks, it  is installed one in my disk
[13:16] <agc93> ubuntu_64bit the keyring pw is set by the user if its not your user account password. So it must have asked you at some point
[13:17] <ubuntu_64bit> agc93,    how can i reset it or delete  that password
[13:17] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: You can't
[13:17] <sipior> ubuntu_64bit: simply make a new login keychain and remove the old one.
[13:18] <Jacta> Can anyone help me get Empathy to work correct with skype (12.04 x64)
[13:19] <usr13> Jacta: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119306/how-do-i-get-skype-wrapper-working
[13:19] <djmattyg> hi
[13:19] <ndlovu> anyone know what the process 'precise' does during upgrades? if I kill it, can I still recover the upgrade with dpkg --configure -a?
[13:19] <raph_ael> i try again, since a few days, middle click stopped working (awesome wm, 12.04, i386), i also saw that there were some updates : xserver-xorg-input-evdev desktop-file-utils, xkb* et desktop-file-utils and xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
[13:19] <djmattyg> does anyone know why xbacklight won't do anything when executed through a cronjob?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: are you having issue with the account on the liveCD?
[13:20] <ubuntu_64bit> sipior, tell me ur advise may be it can help
[13:20] <Jacta> usr13, saw that - that'll add a wrapper inside button - but not add to chat in empathy?
[13:20] <sipior> ubuntu_64bit: that was my advice.
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> djmattyg: if it needs root access, did you cron as root?
[13:20]  * sipior has a feeling he is going to be sorry he said anything.
[13:20] <K4k> Is there an IRC channel specifically for Ubuntu server or infrastructure talk?
[13:21] <djmattyg> ActionParsnip: it doesn't need root access. it runs fine when i execute my script from the command line. it just won't do anything if executed from a cronjob
[13:21] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, nop i have use  the live cd  before
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> K4k: #ubuntu-server
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: what is the issue please, I may be able to asist
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> djmattyg: in the script add a touch command to make a file on your desktop, you will then know it ran the script
[13:22] <usr13> Jacta: I dono, just did a google search.  (I don't use empathy)  http://askubuntu.com/questions/117910/skype-doesnt-work-through-empathy-3-4-but-works-in-pidgin
[13:22] <sipior> ubuntu_64bit: might be of some use to you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65281/how-to-recover-reset-forgotten-gnome-keyring-password
[13:22] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, now am accessing  this ubuntu  direct from the disk
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: so you want to reset your user password?
[13:22] <djmattyg> ActionParsnip: i know the script is running. it's part of a python script that captures still images from my webcam and they're definitely being taken
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: or is it the keyring password?
[13:23] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, because it requst the password tha i never made it before
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> djmattyg: ok thats a good start
[13:23] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, yes  keyring pw
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: as far as I know you will need to delete the keyring to make a new one
[13:24] <sipior> ubuntu_64bit: the link i sent you contains complete instructions for solving your problem.
[13:25] <Joshun> hi
[13:25] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, even now i dont know what does keyring  password  function in my pc
[13:25] <Joshun> do any of you know how to shrink down evince's (pdf viewer) panel smaller than default in ubuntu 12.04
[13:25] <slorbast> Linux newb here, I've got a .sh script and I want it to startup every time the system is turned on regardless of the user logging in. After I drop it in /etc/init.d/ directory and chmod +x it, what next?
[13:25] <Joshun> it takes up loads of room by default
[13:25] <Joshun> on a netbook
[13:25] <Joshun> *side panel that is
[13:26] <ubuntu_64bit> sipior, wait am listen  ActionParsnip advice
[13:26] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: It just saves passwords for you.
[13:26] <Poindexter_> Hello folks. I just dropped by to share this with you. Interesting interview with Linus Torvalds and the major problem with NVIDIA cards. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/linus-torvalds-linux-driver-nvidia-geforce-worst-company,16049.html    Also his life story with programming. Enjoy.   ;)
[13:26] <sipior> ubuntu_64bit: it's all the same to me.
[13:26] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, how did u save it
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: it stores passwords for remote shares and I believe the web browser too (although some browsers sync to the web themseves (chrome/ium does it well))
[13:26] <agc93> poindexter_ try and put that kind of thing in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:26] <L3top> slorbast: sudo update-rc.d script_name.sh defaults
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> Poindexter_  not here, it's for #ubuntu-offtopic and old news, too
[13:27] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: Just delete the keyring and create a new one.
[13:27] <rfritz> nick romain-mymed
[13:27] <djmattyg> ActionParsnip: any ideas as to why xbacklight doesn't run in a cronjob?
[13:27] <K4k> slorbast: Do you want it to execute at startup only or at both startup and shutdown?
[13:27] <K4k> slorbast: oh, nevermind, L3top beat me to it
[13:27] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip,  chrome i have never use it  my default browser is firefox mozillla
[13:28] <slorbast> K4k, Just startup
[13:28] <Poindexter_> Take care folks.
[13:28] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: That's good, just keep using firefox
[13:28] <slorbast> L3top, Thanks, what's the "defaults" for?
[13:28] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, how to delete  the password give me some hints
[13:28] <L3top> The runlevel options slorbast.
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: you'll need to delete the key then remake a new one. You could always move the file instead...
[13:28] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: Follow the link that sipior gave you.
[13:28] <ubuntu_64bit> usr13, am enthusiastic with mozilla firefox
[13:29] <L3top> slorbast: to undo this change in the future: sudo update-rc.d -f script_name.sh remove
[13:29] <navatwo> Hey, anyone know how I could install drivers meant for Linux 2.6 Kernel on 12.04?
[13:30] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, tell me how can i delete and make the new one cuz i think it made on its own
[13:30] <slorbast> L3top: Thanks :)
[13:30] <usr13> ubuntu_64bit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65281/how-to-recover-reset-forgotten-gnome-keyring-password
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: its inn the guide sipior gave.... did you even click the link?
[13:30] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip,  and i don  know where to start  to to delete the keyring
[13:30] <Joshun> slorbast - your best off just adding it to /etc/rc.local
[13:30] <Joshun> much easier
[13:30] <agc93> navatwo: do you have the source for the drivers or just a ko?
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_64bit: again, read the link
[13:31] <navatwo> agc93: I have the source, but on make, it fails. It requires 2.6
[13:31] <ubuntu_64bit> ActionParsnip, okay let me read the  link
[13:31] <abhinavmehta> Just found the concept of running Apps in RAMDISK, its awesome….are there any more such similarly interesting hacks there?? If yes, please name them…else provide url/blog/ebook name…excited to read more such things.
[13:31] <navatwo> we are having problems with the driver, so I would rather not start mucking around with it myself.
[13:31] <slorbast> Welp, gonna test it out
[13:31] <Joshun> seriously though, why is it that evince's panel can't be resized? it could in the older version, now there is just a massive thumnail bar in the way
[13:32] <ryannathans> how does one fix this broken package issue? http://pastebin.com/dnrHiXGJ
[13:33] <cleiton> help with hplip: can't communicate with printer, however I think I narrowed the issue. The problem is non unicode strings on the printer serial, so every application crashes trying to  communicate. Can you tell me how to fix this?
[13:33] <ndlovu> I need confirmation of the process to fix a stalled upgrade (10.04->12.04). Current status: x terminal non-responsive, but have a working ssh session through the network. 'Precise' process is still active (3%CPU) but I have no idea what it's doing. dpkg is running, but doesn't seem to be using CPU (not showing up in top). /var/log/dist-upgrade log files not currently being written to.  Or is there something else I should do?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> ndlovu: if you suspect it then sure, you will need the ubottu !aptfix factoid as the packages will be locked
[13:33] <ryannathans> !aptfix
[13:34] <usr13> ndlovu: Yes  sudo apt-get -f install
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: can you give the output of:   apt-cache policy mencoder
[13:34] <slorbast> L3top: Worked great, thanks again for the help
[13:34] <L3top> np :)

[13:36] <sirriffsalot> How do I make my lowlatency kernel boot by default in 12.04
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> !bug 644873
[13:37] <ryannathans> both mencoder and mplayer throw the same error
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> gah
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: tried uninstalling both then reinstalling them
[13:37] <studio> sirriffsalot, scrap and reinstall 12.04 studio from scratch.
[13:37] <BobMarso> I am a new user installing ubuntu for the first time.  I am able to successfully install desktop on my box, but the server installation fails a minute or two into the installatio process with the display full of green and orange bars.  I'd suspect an incompatible video card, but since desktop installs successfully, I'm confused.  I'm installing 12.04.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks!
[13:37] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: uninstalling the codec listed?
[13:37] <sirriffsalot> studio, honestly...?
[13:37] <studio> the new one comes with the low-latency kernel by default.  That's what I did.
[13:37] <studio> the update from 11 killed my system.
[13:38] <sirriffsalot> studio, not really an option for me at the moment, there is a way of doing this that doesn't involve reinstalling
[13:38] <sirriffsalot> studio, just can't find a way for 12.94
[13:38] <sirriffsalot> 04*
[13:38] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: there's nothing to 'uninstall' as they aren't installed
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: could manually install the package maybe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libavcodec53
[13:38] <studio> Fixing one thing broke another.  I installed from scratch, and this version has almost stabilized for me now.
[13:38] <pandu> my inkscape can't open Corel draw's project T.T
[13:39] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: hmm i'll try it
[13:39] <sirriffsalot> studio, not having any problems mate, cba to reinstall everything-.-
[13:39] <sirriffsalot> Anyone?
[13:39] <studio> I know there's either a command that makes you boot the low-latency kernel by default, or you might have to edit grub.cfg
[13:39] <studio> or maybe both, idk
[13:39] <sirriffsalot> grub.cfg, that might be it
[13:39] <sirriffsalot> Hang on
[13:40] <Relondo> How can I see hidden files and folders while browsing for "Add Application" under Wine?
[13:40] <djmattyg> does anyone know why xbacklight won't do anything when executed through a cronjob?
[13:40] <studio> well, I'd google exactly how to edit it to change your boot order before just jumping on my vague advice.
[13:40] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, ctrl + H?
[13:40] <sirriffsalot> studio, having trouble finding it you see
[13:40] <studio> hold on
[13:40] <Relondo> sirriffsalot: Nope :/
[13:41] <studio> http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=change+boot+order+in+12.04
[13:41] <studio> there ya go
[13:41] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, no "view all" button or something?
[13:41] <sirriffsalot> studio, I've done that-.-
[13:41] <ndlovu> hmm... killed dpkg, but it seems to have restarted under a different process number. log file action resumed, but only with error "'package debconf-i18n is already installed and configured'"
[13:41] <Relondo> sirriffsalot: Not that I can see.
[13:41] <studio> hmm, well, idk.  Is the low-latency kernel listed in grub when you boot?
[13:42] <sirriffsalot> studio, yes, gonna search a bit more
[13:42] <studio> If so, just move that listing to the top listing in the config file so it will be the default option.
[13:42] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, google:S
[13:42] <studio> Not too hard.
[13:42] <studio> Just gotta sudo thunar to do it, and it's all simple gui stuff.
[13:42] <Relondo> sirriffsalot: I Google before I come here.
[13:42] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: ERROR: Breaks existing package 'libavformat53:1386' dependency libavcodec53
[13:42] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, wait for some other reply:)
[13:43] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: but it's not installed
[13:43] <sirriffsalot> studio, too much for me to understand in that file, no idea what to move, gonna read more
[13:43] <studio> Relondo, I'm not sure.
[13:43] <Relondo> sirriffsalot: Lol, alright. While I'm here, though I haven't Googled this, can I use Wine to run a program installed on my Windows  partition without having to reinstall on Ubuntu? Can I just "point it" at the files?
[13:43] <Relondo> studio: K.
[13:43] <Mandalord> sirriffsalot, how about using grub customizer
[13:43] <sirriffsalot> Mandalord, installing it as we speak:)
[13:43] <sirriffsalot> type*
[13:44] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: yet auto corrects on apt-get remobe libavformat53
[13:44] <studio> sirriffsalot, it should just be some gibberish, plus the listing that you see in grub's boot menu.  Switch the low-latency one and the default one.
[13:44] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, Yes I think so
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: if you use the DEFAULT= line in /etc/default/grub   you can set the default
[13:44] <dmsuperman> Relondo: very much depends on the application
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: cool, install that
[13:44] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip, the default is 0
[13:44] <dmsuperman> Most anything complicated: probably not
[13:44] <pandu> no one help me -____-"
[13:44] <sirriffsalot> Relondo, try opening it in wine and see what happens:P
[13:44] <studio> Relondo, if you can't do it, try to sudo thunar and un-hide the file.
[13:44] <Relondo> sirriffsalot: Well, I can't see the file to open it.
[13:44] <dmsuperman> windows apps have a tendancy not to check for the correct config files / registry settings and restore them
[13:44] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: same error as the orinal error
[13:44] <dmsuperman> a lot of them depend on the installer to set that up
[13:45] <Relondo> studio: Will that un-hide it for Windows, too?
[13:45] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip:  libavformat53 : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 4:0.8.3-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) but it is not going to be installed or
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: ok then that is the topline, count down the grub list in yourhead and change the DEFAULT=  number, then run:  sudo update-grub
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: oh jeez
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: are there any bugs reported
[13:46] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip, no idea what the list is...:) Think lowlatency is number 3
[13:46] <studio> Relondo, that depends.  if it's hidden because of a name that starts with a . then no, but if it's a hidden file in windows already, then you might have to boot into windows and unhide it.  Not sure about all that.
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: then change it to 2 (grub starts counting at zero)
[13:46] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: I haven't found any, this issue has persisted for months but i was ensured it was an official repo problem which will be resolved, it wasn't ever a repo problem afaik
[13:46] <Relondo> studio: Hm. Because with Nautilus, I'm able to see all hidden files and folders on my Windows partition.
[13:47] <studio> Yes, but nautilus is an advanced file browser/manager.
[13:47] <dmsuperman> Relondo: that's because "hidden" in windows is an ntfs concept
[13:47] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: it originated when the default video player tried to search for codecs for my video and then i came across the error for the first time months ago
[13:47] <dmsuperman> whereas in linux it's not metadata but rather based on the filename
[13:47] <sirriffsalot> The menuentry is 3.2.0-25-generic-pae, first one, then recovery mode of that one below
[13:47] <sirriffsalot> Then 24-generic-pae
[13:47] <sirriffsalot> Then lowlatency
[13:47] <dmsuperman> So nautilus doesn't know to check for that "hidden" attribute
[13:47] <studio> the one in wine is pretty bare bones, probably.
[13:48] <Relondo> dmsuperman: What does that mean, exactly?
[13:48] <studio> So sudo nautilus and unhide the file and try again with wine.  If not that, then I don't know.
[13:48] <ikonia> studio: gksudo not sudo
[13:48] <studio> oh, ok.
[13:48] <studio> what's the diff?
[13:48] <dmsuperman> Relondo: in windows, it writes extra metadata around the file itself that says "this file is hidden". in linux, hidden just means "the filename starts with a ."
[13:48] <studio> I'm still learning, too :/
[13:48] <dmsuperman> So nautilus wouldn't know to look for that hidden flag from windows partitions
[13:48] <Relondo> studio: And I can't switch to the directory. I entered "cd /media/TI106231W0C/Program Files (x86)" and received "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('".
[13:48] <dmsuperman> Unless they've changed that since I last used nautilus
[13:49] <samba35> how do i calibrate my led monitor  ,i can see the monitor (detected correctly by ubunbtu ) but i want to calibrate it so i can see correct picture quality
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: I suggest you reboot and check first
[13:49] <sirriffsalot> Hehe alright
[13:49] <studio> Relondo, you can't use file names with spaces in the terminal.
[13:49] <BobMarso> Is this the appropriate place to ask about server installation problems?
[13:49] <sirriffsalot> I only count the first line right, not the recovery one?
[13:49] <studio> the program files folder isn't mountable.
[13:49] <sirriffsalot> And the first one is 0?:P
[13:49] <studio> not in terminal, anyway.
[13:49] <dmsuperman> studio: sure you can just use \
[13:49] <Relondo> studio: Figured. How do I get around the fact that the file name has a space in it?
[13:50] <Relondo> dmsuperman: So it's because Wine is reading files like Windows would.
[13:50] <studio> rename the file to program_files, but that might break a lot of windows stuff, lol
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> studio: gksudo sets up the X environment correctly. Sudo is only for CLI commands. Technically you can use gksudo for both
[13:50] <dmsuperman> I'm not sure what your issue is, exactly, Relondo
[13:50] <Relondo> studio: Yeah, just about everything.
[13:50] <studio> ActionParsnip, I see.  Thanks.
[13:50] <dmsuperman> Relondo: what's going on?
[13:50] <Relondo> dmsuperman: I can't see hidden files and folders when browsing to add an application under Wine.
[13:50] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110656/ffmpeg-unmet-dependencies relevant
[13:51] <dmsuperman> Relondo: files that start with "."?
[13:51] <studio> the wine file manager is failing for him.
[13:51] <abhinavmehta> need ScreenFlow for ubuntu like ScreenFlow for Mac. Already tried RecordMyDesktop, but not really happy with that..any other suggestions..?
[13:51] <dmsuperman> or files that are hidden in windows
[13:51] <dmsuperman> I'm guessing it's a shortcoming in the wine file browser yeah
[13:51] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: i did try to install vlc at one point but had this same error
[13:51] <Relondo> dmsuperman: No. Specifically, I'm trying to get to a .exe file in my Program Files (x86).
[13:52] <dmsuperman> Relondo: you mean you want to put an exe into your program files?
[13:52] <dmsuperman> why not just copy it directly?
[13:52] <dmsuperman> cp /path/to/your/exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/wherever
[13:52] <Relondo> dmsuperman: No, I'm trying to run the .exe under Wine.
[13:52] <abhinavmehta> anyone about ScreenFlow??
[13:52] <dmsuperman> Relondo: I'm not sure the issue then?
[13:52] <c0rnel> hello all
[13:52] <dmsuperman> You said it was about hidden files now it's about running executables heh
[13:52] <raph_ael> i try again, since a few days, middle click stopped working (awesome wm, 12.04, i386), i also saw that there were some updates : xserver-xorg-input-evdev desktop-file-utils, xkb* et desktop-file-utils and xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
[13:53] <Wuome> Hi
[13:53] <DeltaHeavy> What's the point of the blacklist? It's blocking hardware that works perfectly fine.
[13:53] <Wuome> I Have a problem and i'm looking for some help
[13:53] <ikonia> Wuome: just ask
[13:53] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: i added that ppa and the *53 seems to be installing \o/
[13:53] <Wuome> ok, i bought an mp3, and i am not able to put any files on it.
[13:54] <agc93> Wuome: what do you see when you plug it in?
[13:54] <agc93> Does it appear in Nautilus as a device?
[13:54] <Wuome> I see it perfect, i mean, it opens and i can see the files, yes, it appears in nautilus
[13:54] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: still same error...
[13:54] <Wuome> but i cant change the permissions
[13:55] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: that's when installing mplayer
[13:55] <Relondo> dmsuperman: I want to add a .exe file to my Wine apps. However, I can't navigate to the .exe, because Wine's "Add application" feature apparently cannot see hidden files and folders. I need to make it so it can see hidden files and folders.
[13:55] <Mandalord> wuome, sudo cp
[13:55] <agc93> wuome: is it mounted read-only or something?
[13:55] <BobMarso> Second try - is this the place to get help on installation problems?
[13:55] <Wuome> nope
[13:55] <tuxgeek> Relondo: you can do that in windows explorer
[13:56] <agc93> BobMarso: If you're installing Ubuntu, this is the place
[13:56] <Wuome> well, first time it opened it asked me what i wanted to o with it
[13:56] <Relondo> bobmarso: Ask the question, do not ask to ask, please.
[13:56] <agc93> wuome  when you try and change the permissions what error do you get?
[13:56] <Relondo> tuxgeek: But I need to do it in Wine. To add the application under Wine. To run it. In Wine.
[13:56] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: might have fixed it, i installed the deps for the deps for the deps of libavcodecs53
[13:56] <Wuome> thats the thing, there is not error
[13:56] <ryannathans> mplayer might be installed...
[13:56] <agc93> wuome: then whats the problem?
[13:57] <ryannathans> it did. \o/ woo thanks ActionParsnip
[13:57] <Wuome> it just dont allows me to put nothing inside the mps, and the permissions are stuck on only read
[13:57] <c0rnel> how can i verify/repair all packages in 11.04?
[13:57] <Wuome> when i try to change them to write and read, it just dont let me
[13:57] <BobMarso> Thanks.  I am trying to install ubuntu server 12.04.  It seems to hang with green and oragne bars on the display.  Ubuntu desktop installs successfully on the same hardware.  Any suggestins?
[13:57] <Mandalord> wuome, use terminal and sudo cp <name of file .exe> <path of mp3>
[13:58] <Wuome> it changes again to only read
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: yay
[13:58] <DeltaHeavy> Anybody know where I can find documentation on what the blacklist actually is?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix
[13:58] <ndlovu> seems all is not well in my upgrade. dpkg exited with "Processing was halted because there were too many errors."
[13:58] <agc93> wuome: can you remount it somewhere else as rw or something?
[14:00] <zykotick9> Wuome: (just FYI, but) if the file is on FAT/NTFS then you can't apply POSIX permission
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: sudo apt-get  -f install      is a good start
[14:00] <ndlovu> ok, running aptfix command again... it's doing stuff, but holding thumbs for a working install
[14:00] <Wuome> i cant now if it is a fat32
[14:01] <Wuome> how can i know if the mp3 is a fat32 device?
[14:01] <Mandalord> sudo fdisk -l
[14:02] <Wuome> agc93 And no, i cant remount
[14:02] <Mandalord> Wuome, sudo fdisk -l and post the result here
[14:02] <agc93> wuome what happens when you try?
[14:02] <DeltaHeavy> Wuome: Post the results in pastebin.com  Do NOT paste multiple lines of info here.
[14:02] <sisar> I'm unable to use the command `su`. It says Authentication failure, though I'm quite sure I'm giving it the correct password. What is the problem ?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> sisar: use:  sudo -i
[14:03] <Wuome> drwx------
[14:03] <sisar> ActionParsnip: thanks !
[14:03] <Wuome> noooope
[14:03] <Wuome> wait
[14:03] <sisar> ActionParsnip++
[14:03] <DeltaHeavy> sisar: Root acound is disabled be default. 'sudo -i' is the perferred method.
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> sisar: there is no rot password so you will always fail authentication if you run 'su'

[14:03] <BobMarso> Relondo: I've asked three times and received no response.  Perhaps some of the posts apply to me but it's not obvious.  Help is appreciated.
[14:03] <ndlovu> ActionParsnip, process failed again. getting a lot of "/var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" errors. It seems to make progress each time though, should I just keep running the same command?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ndlovu: do you have software centre open?
[14:04] <Wuome> damn
[14:04] <agc93> wuome can you use paste.ubuntu.com so the formatting doesnt get quite so messed up?
[14:04] <ndlovu> ActionParsnip, the upgrade manager could be open in the hanging X session
[14:04] <Wuome> i dint understand you
[14:05] <Wuome> what is paste.ubuntu.com
[14:05] <ndlovu> ActionParsnip, but software centre not open
[14:05] <DJones> !paste | Wuome
[14:05] <Wuome> i suspect it is a fat32, so how could i change fat32 permissions?
[14:06] <agc93> if you cant even write to the fs, changing file permissions isnt going to help a lot
[14:06] <DJones> Wuome: Its a website that will let you copy & paste multiple lines of text into it and then it will give you a web link which you can paste here
[14:06] <Onixs> is there such command to force/test the mobo to beep?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> ndlovu: if you run:  ps -ef | grep dpkg     is it running?
[14:06] <Wuome> ok ok
[14:07] <Wuome> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1049160/
[14:07] <Wuome> here you go
[14:07] <Meridious> Onixs: that would heavily depend on the make and model of your MOBO
[14:07] <Mandalord> Desconocido
[14:07] <Mandalord> what the hell it mean
[14:08] <DJones> Mandalord: translate suggests "unknown"
[14:08] <Meridious> Onixs: I know in windows, there is a C library that can do system calls for that sort of thing.
[14:08] <sisar> despite doing `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get upgrade` I get this notification (red exclamation mark in a red trianlge) in my panel that "the update information is outdated...". How can I fix this?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Onixs: maybe:   echo -e "\a"
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Onixs: or:  sudo apt-get install beep; sudo beep
[14:08] <Mandalord> ah all of them are spanish maybe
[14:08] <Wuome> desconocido is unknown
[14:09] <Onixs> thamks.. gonna give it a try

[14:10] <subb1> i just rm -rf a directory. which is the best tool, i can use to recover the directory. Please advise. will any tool be effective in case i havent deleted any file after that operation?
[14:10] <Mandalord> well
[14:10] <Mandalord> hava no idea what the type of partition your mp3 is
[14:10] <Wuome> that's great :(
[14:10] <AdvoWork> how can i find out my machines default route?
[14:10] <xan> hello, could someone please help me recover my mobile broadband pin ? i entered it once some long ago, but i cant find where it is stored (it isnt in  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ where i expected it)
[14:11] <Meridious> subb1, the only thing i know to do is run dd and try to specify a delete portion

[14:11] <Chamunks> I have a m-audio usb producer microphone that I switch between computers at my home.  When i unplug - replug into my ubuntu machine Skype will not pick up the audio, everything else does Fine.  Yet skype simply refuses until I run this command in my Command Line and than restart.  sudo rm -r /tmp/pulse-* && sudo rm -r ~/.pulse/  Afterwards I must reboot my whole desktop to be able to once again use my microphone.
[14:11] <Mandalord> can you connect and copy paste any file in it using windows?
[14:11] <sisar> anyone? (my problem is stated a few lines back)
[14:11] <Chamunks> This whole proceedure as you could imagine starts getting tiresome.
[14:11] <Wuome> yes, in windows  can do everything with it
[14:12] <Chamunks> Is there anyone here who has had this problem and knows how to fix it at the very least without rebooting the whole computer?
[14:12] <ndlovu> ActionParsnip, I've actually tried that already (also kill -15 29045) but still remained. will try again to confirm
[14:12] <Mandalord> just give it a try

[14:12] <Mandalord> sudo mkdir /media/usb

[14:13] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip,  someone told me it was a skype problem but that may be the case but if I can fix it by deleting these files it must be fixable through some means in pulse audio.
[14:13] <Mandalord> just try something until it work:D
[14:13] <pandu> DITAKONI
[14:14] <pandu> RAONO SING NJAWAB
[14:14] <pandu> LEKONDO PINTER
[14:14] <FloodBot1> pandu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:14] <pandu> PETOK
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: you could add a step in the shutdown process to do the deletion.
[14:14] <Wuome> it is in /media/Z3
[14:14] <Wuome> and i can get to it
[14:14] <Wuome> look
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: then when you boot you'll get the same setup as before you reboot
[14:15] <Mandalord> no /media/Z3 is the automount
[14:15] <Mandalord> and we know that it is not correct
[14:15] <empt> hi guys
[14:15] <Mandalord> so we try to remount it
[14:15] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, well that could ease the pain a smidge i suppose.  I was hoping to find a command that could possibly just restore the pulse services.
[14:15] <Meridious> empt: hi there
[14:15] <Mandalord> using another folder /media/usb
[14:15] <empt> how can i create a terminal command in my desktop?
[14:16] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, on occasion the fix works with a simple Ctrl+alt+bkspace
[14:16] <empt> i'm using unity
[14:16] <Wuome> mkdir does nothing
[14:16] <Meridious> empt: you want to write a custom command?
[14:16] <empt> yes
[14:16] <empt> i want a shortcut to do that
[14:16] <pandu> how to install microsoft windows fonts on ubuntu ?
[14:16] <LjL> !fonts | pandu
[14:17] <agc93> empt: a shortcut to do what?
[14:17] <cypher-neo> msttcorefonts?
[14:17] <cypher-neo> That'
[14:17] <LjL> pandu: msttcorefonts will give you the freely available ones
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> pandu  msttcorefonts
[14:17] <cypher-neo> That's an old package!
[14:17] <DeltaHeavy> empt: A terminal command is just an executable binary located in specific directories. You'll find most common commands like 'ls' or 'cd' are found in /bin/. If you make a program and put it in /bin/ or /var/usr/bin (reccommended), it will run just by typing in the name of that file.
[14:17] <cypher-neo> That is not what it's called anymore
[14:17] <Mandalord> wuome: nothing? mkdir should make a directory namely usb in folder /media
[14:17] <Wuome> nothing works
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Chamunks: tried:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     wait 10 seconds then try sound, is it ok?
[14:17] <empt> i simply want to run matlab
[14:17] <cypher-neo> MonkeyDust: I think the package he's looking for is ttf-mscorefonts or something like that.
[14:17] <empt> just ./matlab
[14:17] <LjL> cypher-neo: is it ttf-mscorefonts-installer now?
[14:18] <Wuome> with mkdir it created a folder
[14:18] <cypher-neo> LjL: That might be it!
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> empt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB
[14:18] <Mandalord> then sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[14:18] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, I'll give that a go.
[14:18] <DJones> LjL:  ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[14:18] <DeltaHeavy> empt: So you want matlab to be run as if it were a command? So if you run 'matlab' it'll run?
[14:18] <cypher-neo> LjL: I just know that the name changed a couple times in the last year or two
[14:18] <sacarlson> Chamunks: you might try delete those files and sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart  ; or equiv in upstart
[14:18] <pandu> Thanks :P
[14:18] <empt> yes
[14:18] <LjL> !no fonts is <reply> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/
[14:18] <arussel> is there a way to create volume with lvm while the disk is being used ?
[14:19] <pandu> hewlett packard invent guys
[14:19] <Meridious> arussel: man vgcreate
[14:19] <arussel> or on a disk that was used and still keeping the data on it
[14:19] <DeltaHeavy> empt: Is matlab a single executable file?
[14:19] <empt> i have to type a command every time i want to run matlab
[14:19] <Wuome> the special dispositive /dev/sdb1 does not exst
[14:19] <empt> yes i should write ./matlab in the terminal to run it
[14:20] <agc93> arussel: i wish but since it needs to change the partition type I don't think it can be done
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> empt: you can make a launcher and you can run it from the UI.
[14:20] <Meridious> arussel: the 4 commands for LVM, vgcreate, vgdisplay, lvcreate, lvdisplay
[14:20] <DeltaHeavy> empt: If you want to run it like that just run it like that. Nothing needed, just make sure you're in the same directory. If you want it to run by just typing 'matlab', move the matlab executable to /var/usr/bin/
[14:20] <Chamunks> sacarlson, I think i've tried the init.d restart before but I'll give that a shot if ActionParsnip 's fix is insufficient.
[14:20] <subb1> Is it possibel to recover deleted directory with live-cd of ubuntu? any help guys?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> subb1: possibly with foremost but you will need a partition mounted writabel that will hold the whole partition. Your backups will be a much quicker method
[14:21] <cypher-neo> subb1: If the directory is still in your Trash folder, then yes. If it's been deleted, probably not.
[14:21] <sacarlson> Chamunks: I think you will still have to remove those files before restart,  also maybe add logout and login to your account
[14:21] <empt> i know but a desktop shortcut would be nice though?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> empt: yes, and one is given on the guide I gave
[14:21] <Meridious> subb1: not so much if you rm -rf'd it. There are data recovery tools such as dd and photorec
[14:21] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip: What is foremost? Never heard of it. :)
[14:21] <Chamunks> sacarlson, I mentioned a few minutes ago that the ctrl+alt+bksp does work some times.
[14:22] <empt> ActionParasnip: how can i make a launcher in unity?
[14:22] <Chamunks> sacarlson, instead of a full reboot sometimes.
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> !info foremost | cypher-neo
[14:22] <Wuome> Mandalord? Are you still there? :(
[14:22] <sacarlson> Chamunks: I'm not sure what ctl+alt_bksp does
[14:22] <Meridious> subb1: these programs read the bits directly off of a drive, and can recover some files
[14:22] <subb1> thanks guys.. i didm  rm -rf on dir.... but I havent deleted any files after that ! would it be possible then? please suggest the most effective program?
[14:22] <Chamunks> sacarlson, it just restarts the gnome desktop
[14:22] <DeltaHeavy> empt: A "command" or "Typing ./matlab"  isn't really descriptive of a graphical shortcut. You can right click a panel, add to panel, then go to "Launcher".  I do not have any backups !!
[14:23] <Wuome> yep
[14:23] <Wuome> i know
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> subb1: why not, is yourdata not important to you?
[14:23] <Mandalord> since the fdisk told us that there is sdb1
[14:23] <Wuome> but what can be the reason for noot being able to change the permissions?
[14:23] <subb1> ActionParsnip, it was. But i had newly transferred the files to a system.. didnt take thebackup...
[14:24] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, I believe that this, 'killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* ' has worked thank you
[14:24] <agc93> wuome like i said, if you dont have rw access to the filesystem, you cant set permissions
[14:24] <sacarlson> Chamunks: ok at some point when you find what does work consistantly you can create a script that will bring up skype without doing all the steps to make it work
[14:24] <AdvoWork> how can i find out my machines default route?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> subb1: you learned the value of backups the hard way...
[14:24] <Mandalord> your account is normal not root
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: run:     route
[14:24] <arussel> Meridious: I'm reading this http://siva2009.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/how-to-create-lvm-using-pvcreate-vgcreate-lvcreate-and-lvextend-commands/ and he create the fs after issuing lvcreate
[14:24] <Wuome> and how can i get rw access?
[14:24] <subb1> ActionParsnip, very true. thanks for help.. thanks a lot... i shall give it a try
[14:24] <sacarlson> AdvoWork: sudo route -n
[14:24] <Chamunks> sacarlson, I think his fix did the trick ' killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*  '  The only other thing would be to put it into rc.d in the shutdown sequence to delete those files.
[14:24] <empt> panel?
[14:24] <empt> what panel?
[14:25] <empt> again i'm using unity
[14:25] <agc93> arussel: if your partition is already of type lvm, you can do it, but otherwise you need to change partition type which involves a reformat
[14:25] <Meridious> arussel: and?
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: the different between the route and sudo route commands is identical....
[14:25] <Chamunks> sacarlson, I could probably just hack away at the skype load code couldnt i.
[14:25] <Mandalord> well normally try sudo chmod 777 /media/Z3
[14:25] <DeltaHeavy> empt: idk then, I don't use Unity.
[14:25] <Chamunks> ActionParsnip, thanks again I believe that worked like a charm. :)
[14:26] <Mandalord> but i dont know if it will work on partition
[14:26] <arussel> Meridious: well, as agc93 said, I don't see how I can keep my data.
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> empt:    sudo wget 'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=matlab-r2011a.desktop' -O /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
[14:26] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: as route is in /sbin  and I use it for other things I assumed it required sudo
[14:27] <Meridious> arussel: good point. External backup?
[14:27] <arussel> Meridious: no, ec2
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: makes sense :)
[14:28] <arussel> plain ami from ubuntu site
 what have it done :-?
[14:28] <Mandalord> wuome did you work it out or not?
[14:29] <empt> ActionParsnip: what have it done??
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> empt: instead use:    sudo wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/MATLAB.desktop -O /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> empt: it makes a .desktop for you, I got the file from the matlab how to, so you can do this all on your own...
[14:31] <empt> what a .desktop file does?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> empt: you can also get the ison witj:    sudo wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Matlab_Logo.png -O /usr/share/icons/matlab.png
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> empt: it's what is used to populate the Unity menus
[14:32] <empt> aw ok, can u give me the link?
[14:32] <empt> which u found this on?
[14:33] <arussel> how do you create an ec2 snapshot without lvm installed and with default fs (ie, not xfs) ?
[14:33] <Pici> arussel: You'd probably have a better chance of getting that answered if you ask in #ubuntu-server
[14:34] <arussel> Pici: thanks, I didn't know it existed
[14:34] <Wuome> mandalor
[14:34] <Wuome> mandalord it doesnt work
[14:34] <Wuome> i've tried that one hundred time
[14:35] <ndlovu> ActionParsnip, if kill signals 9 and 15 don't work, then dpkg must be a zombie process? According to a previous askubuntu post, I need to send a SIGCHLD signal to the parent, which would appear to be 2244. It seems that the signal number can be 20,17,18. Any idea how to send such a signal? Will kill do it? (ref: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30891/is-there-any-way-to-kill-a-zombie-process-without-reboot)
[14:35] <Mandalord> dont have to do that much :(
[14:35] <Mandalord> but im out of idea
[14:36] <Wuome> yep me too
[14:36] <Wuome> but thank you very much
[14:36] <sacarlson> Wuome: I'm guessing the disk is formated in something with no file permisions like ntfs or fat
[14:36] <Wuome> yep, i think that so
[14:36] <Wuome> and is there any way to change the permissions in ntfs or in fat?
[14:36] <Mandalord> but we dont know the format type
[14:37] <sacarlson> Wuome: you could force at mount to set the user and read write permisions
[14:37] <Mandalord> what is the producer and the name of mp3
[14:37] <Lantizia> Lo, anyway to suppress apt-get messages about config file conflicts and just assume the default answer (which is N to keep the existing file)
[14:37] <Wuome> samsung YP-Z3
[14:37] <sacarlson> Wuome: but after mount you can't change it until you dismount and mount again
[14:38] <Wuome> sacarlson: how can i do that?
[14:39] <Lantizia> Wuome, what are you trying to do? i had a Samsung YP once
[14:39] <sacarlson> Wuome: my network is very slow might check this I haven't read it yet http://linuxtuts.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-mount-fat32-or-vfat-partition-in.html
[14:40] <andygraybeal> hold up brothers and sisters, i'm reading omgubuntu.co.uk and an article dated april 16, 2012 ( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04 ) says that Adobe won't be supporting Flash anymore for Linux .... is this true?
[14:40] <Wuome> well Lantizia, i cant transfer files to my YP
[14:40] <agc93> andygraybeal: kind of
[14:40] <agc93> they will do security and maintenance on the current release
[14:40] <andygraybeal> agc93, okay
[14:40] <agc93> but no more updates on Linux platform. Same as Android and a couple of other smaller platforms
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> andygraybeal: yes but the article tells you what will be happening in the future
[14:41] <Lantizia> Wuome, is your samsung using UMS or MSC ?
[14:41] <Wuome> Lantizia: And i don't know how to change permissions to the YP. I can open it and see the files, but i can't put files in it
[14:41] <andygraybeal> ActionParsnip, that google is going to be taking over the development?  Does this mean I'll never have flash in firefox ever again?
[14:41] <Wuome> UMS? MSC? I don't know?
[14:41] <andygraybeal> ps, yes i still like firefox.
[14:41] <Wuome> How can i know this?
[14:41] <Lantizia> Wuome, sorry not MSC I mean MTP
[14:42] <Wuome> i still don't know what do you mean
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> andygraybeal: i believe a similar API will be in firefox
[14:42] <Lantizia> Wuome, not sure on your model, I had a Samsung YP-U3 - which in Europe/USA was sold with MTP firmware.     UMS is USB Mass Storage - as in it works like a usb pen or a usb hard drive - it just gets mounted
[14:43] <Wuome> And I don't know how to see which ones they are
[14:43] <Wuome> No, it's UMS sure
[14:43] <kbringard> can anyone tell me how to force the network interface udev order during a PXE install?
[14:43] <agc93> andygraybeal: in future, that kind of thing would also be better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic unless you needed help with Flash particularly
[14:43] <andygraybeal> agc93, thanks man
[14:43] <Lantizia> Wuome, how can you be sure?
[14:43] <Wuome> because in Windows i just dropped the files inside
[14:44] <Wuome> like in an usb
[14:44] <Lantizia> yeah but windows supports MTP though doesn't it? :P
[14:44] <Lantizia> the ubuntu file manager (nautilus) does too
[14:44] <agc93> lantizia yes it does. MTP and Windows actually work quite well surprisingly
[14:44] <Wuome> lol
[14:44] <itbox> I have a problem installing Ubuntu: 1 month ago it worked just fine, but now i tried to reinstall again (got a new HDD) and it just gets stuck at the Install menu from the CD
[14:44] <Wuome> so how can i manage this?
[14:45] <Lantizia> Wuome, does the location of your YP show up as something like /media/samsungyp   orr something like   gphoto2://sweinfrinfnifwfnwie
[14:45] <itbox> also, I tried installing from the USB drive, with the same result
[14:45] <sacarlson> Wuome: you must need to add a line in /etc/fstab to mount that disk with the user you desire to be the owner and setup permisions
[14:46] <Wuome> media/Z3
[14:46] <Lantizia> sacarlson, i doubt it
[14:46] <sacarlson> Lantizia: why is that?
[14:46] <Lantizia> if it really is UMS then it'll be vfat and ubuntu will just mount it
[14:46] <Lantizia> which by the sounds of it - it hasd
[14:46] <Lantizia> *has
[14:46] <itbox> today, i went to BIOS and try resetting the settings, and it worked with xubuntu 11.10, i suceeded to start the installation, but then it just freezes at the partition tool (left it like that for over 1 hour, still nothing)
[14:46] <sacarlson> Lantizia: then you will need to write a script that will umount and remount it with the desired settings
[14:47] <Lantizia> Wuome, can you run the command 'mount' on the terminal and paste the ONE line that mentions /media/Z3
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> itbox: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[14:47] <itbox> yeah, the ISO is fine, and those CDs i tried already installed on multiple PCs
[14:48] <Wuome> damn, i dont find any line with Z3. May i show you all the script?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> itbox: have you tested the RAM using the install media?
[14:48] <Lantizia> Wuome, nah don't paste it all - are you running 'mount' with the device in the computer?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Wuome: sure, use a pastebin
[14:48] <itbox> i did memtest and it returned no errors
[14:49] <Mandalord> As opposed to USB Mass Storage, a number of operating systems do not support MTP out of the box. Some even require third-party software. damm, wiki say that ubuntu does not support MTP
[14:49] <Lantizia> Mandalord, if he's using MTP that is
[14:49] <itbox> also the pc was in the service a while ago and its in good health
[14:49] <Lantizia> depending on region some samsung mp3 players do and some do not use MTP
[14:49] <Wuome> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1049214/
[14:50] <Lantizia> Wuome, umm the last line mentions Z3 :P lol
[14:50] <Wuome> lol it's true
