[08:15] <deebo> i need to tell the package system that the dependency for java is already met
[08:15] <JoseeAntonioR> hey guys, I'm having some problem, after reinstalling nvidia-current and rebooting I have no unity
[08:15] <tion> how big ?
[08:16] <iml> deebo: try --nodeps flag
[08:16] <dr_willis> tion:  we cant say.. they could have most anything in their disrtos.
[08:16] <tion> dr_willis, i can just update the e17 related stuff?
[08:16] <gipzo> I can check time at startup and then set rtcwake and shutdown. But I thought that somebody already did this
[08:17] <JoseeAntonioR> Basically, what it says to me it's Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: glXQueryExtensionsString is NULL for screen 0
[08:18] <dr_willis> tion:  thats what a e17 PPA would do most likely
[08:18] <tion> thats what ive installed but i want to add the repos
[08:18] <tion> from official site
[08:19] <dr_willis> if they have PPA's for ubuntu - then you can add them and update e17
[08:19] <tion> some ppa instaled a key that dosent work :)
[08:28] <himanshu_linux> hi , i have made a "standard" account on my ubuntu 12.04 , but when i do some sudo work it does not accept the password. So i am going to covert this new account to admins too . I am asking whether it will create a conflict with existing administrator account ???
[08:29] <dr_willis> himanshu_linux:  no it shouldent
[08:30] <himanshu_linux> dr_willis : but previous time I made an account like this i had to reinstall everything .
[08:30] <dr_willis> himanshu_linux:  Noidea what you did. but you can have more then  1 user whohas sudo rights
[08:30] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: did you add the created account to the group "sudo"?
[08:31] <dr_willis> the only differance btween a user with standaard vs admin rights is that they belong to the sudo group  i belive
[08:31] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: to be able to use sudo, the user needs to be member of that group (it was group "admin" before 12.04)
[08:32] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ :  i have right now made a simple standard account from account setting
[08:32] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: "groups username"
[08:32] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: does it list "sudo" or "admin"?
[08:33] <corenot> Hi himanshu, on local machine it wont touch admin password on server.
[08:34] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ :it says  nopasswdlogin  i have not set password .
[08:34] <tion> e17 isnt drag n drop friendly
[08:34] <ikonia> tion: who are you telling this to ?
[08:34] <tion> lxde is the best
[08:35] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: hrm, to use sudo the account needs a password
[08:35] <ikonia> tion: who are you telling this to ?
[08:35] <tion> to everybody
[08:35] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ : i know that
[08:35] <tion> why?
[08:35] <ikonia> tion: everyone doesn't need to know, no-one was asking for help with that.
[08:35] <ikonia> tion: please keep that sort of thing to yourself unless someone is asking for information/help
[08:36] <Guest54737> good afternoon .
[08:36] <tion> cant say bad things about anything
[08:37] <dr_willis> Ibet theres an E17 channel somewhere on this server. ;)
[08:37] <tion> hackers
[08:37] <dr_willis> They may want your feedback
[08:37] <TakeItEZ> if no #e17, there might be #whocares
[08:37] <DrManhattan> is it possible to cluster three ubuntu boxes with mosix and then run virtualbox with a windows 7 VM on it so I can have a 12 core VM?
[08:38] <ikonia> tion: errr no, you can't fill the channel with pointless information/views, hence why I've asked you not to, unless someone is asking for that information
[08:38] <DrManhattan> I have two q6600 boxes and Im probably going to get an 8 core AMD box, so maybe 14-15 cores on the VM
[08:39] <ikonia> DrManhattan: I wouldn't bother if I where
[08:39] <ikonia> where you
[08:39] <tion> im asking why isnt e17 more drag n drop friendly because i cant drag icons from the menu to the lunch br
[08:39] <ikonia> DrManhattan: what is the reason for the clustering
[08:39] <DrManhattan> ikonia, why not?
[08:39] <tion> thats pretty backwards
[08:39] <ikonia> tion: this channel doesn't make e17 - ask the e17 developers why they don't put the features in you want
[08:39] <DrManhattan> ikonia, heavy duty CPU based video editing and rendering
[08:39] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ : actually i am working on python script that requires a sudo password while running it. so i am working on a account that is standard . so even if i write the actual sudo password it does not accept there .
[08:40] <ikonia> DrManhattan: ok, so you're unlikley to get much benifit from this
[08:40] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I have used CUDA and its nice but for pure quality its still best to have a lot of CPU power and patience
[08:40] <ikonia> DrManhattan: you're on home user hardware, that sort of load distribtuion requires enterprise class stuff,
[08:40] <shortstraw8> What do I need to do to get my repository to show on local host after I commit and then restart apache, do I have to do anything with /var/www
[08:40] <DrManhattan> ikonia, really? Cinelerra does it
[08:40] <ikonia> DrManhattan: and the overhead for example of splitting a virtual machines cpu cycles over 3 boxes on a home network would be slower than than actually just using one of the machines nativly.
[08:41] <DrManhattan> Holy crap - I totally forgot about cinelerra
[08:41] <tion> why cant i drag windows from one desk to the next like with e17?
[08:41] <corenot> i have fx 8350
[08:41] <ikonia> DrManhattan: for distribution of load in a "chunk" like format, it will be great
[08:41] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ : so just asking that after converting that this new account to admins from "setting" will it create a problem ?
[08:41] <ikonia> DrManhattan: for distribtuion of real time processing, you will see a reduction not improvement
[08:41] <DrManhattan> ikonia, yeah you know I'll only use it to output raw video to different formats and make it look insanely good
[08:42] <tion> why cant i drag windows across desktops with unity?
[08:42] <DrManhattan> ikonia, You're right, it's way better to just let it render out the video job, it's a lot more suited to clustering
[08:42] <ikonia> DrManhattan: ok, so to try be a bit more helpful from my view point, you'll get benifit from distrubtion of "chunks" processes such as rendering, but for things like vm's you'll end up being crippled
[08:42] <corenot> enable or install compiz / make sure you have installer the gpu drivers for your card if any
[08:43] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: well, oyu stated last time you did it like this, you b0rked your installation. so you seem to do something wrong
[08:43] <ikonia> DrManhattan: a better explination ?
[08:43] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I agree and thanks for talking some sense into me - it's not even necessary to do the VM, I can even do it the other way around
[08:43] <ikonia> DrManhattan: I think you'll get much better results that way
[08:43] <tion> can i unistall bonjour err remove avahi ?
[08:43] <ikonia> tion: yes,
[08:43] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ : hmm i think too
[08:43] <ikonia> tion: if there are packages for it, do just that
[08:43] <dr_willis> tion:  one way. click on the workspace switcher and you can
[08:44] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I can set up Ubuntu VM's with Cinelerra, which has its own network rendering resource
[08:44] <DrManhattan> the VM overhead is really minimal now anyhow
[08:44] <TakeItEZ> himanshu_linux: and thats why i mentioned the group your user needs to be member of to gain sudo-access and how to check
[08:44] <tion> unity is too heavy
[08:44] <dr_willis> tion:  never really noticed.
[08:44] <ikonia> DrManhattan: in that situation the overhead is null, as it's chunk processing, why do it in vm's though ? why not use two native hosts ?
[08:44] <tion> any way lxde or e17 work ok still ff is slower that in windows
[08:44] <ikonia> tion: don't use it - stop complaining about things
[08:45] <ikonia> tion: if you want help - ask questions, if you want to moan, do it in another chanel
[08:45] <ikonia> channel
[08:45] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed FF being slower on ubuntu then windows
[08:45] <corenot> e17 works goog
[08:45] <nighthawknz> can anyone tell me how to add hyperv to kernel
[08:45] <DrManhattan> ikonia, so I can go into an office building and run VM's or run native clients off of USB sticks
[08:45] <corenot> nope FF works just fine
[08:45] <himanshu_linux> TakeItEZ : got your point
[08:45] <ikonia> DrManhattan: run clients off USB sticks !!!!! are you mad, you want performance
[08:45] <tion> what windows?
[08:46] <DrManhattan> ikonia, anything with a gigabit network and a bunch of workstations and I can render out whatever I need
[08:46] <tion> i mean XP
[08:46] <DrManhattan> ikonia, just the nodes
[08:46] <ikonia> nighthawknz: hyperv is a windows product, it will not work in linux
[08:46] <ikonia> DrManhattan: what do you mean the nodes ?
[08:46] <DrManhattan> ikonia, the main workstation would be a native ubuntu workstation
[08:46] <COUGAR60> hi all
[08:46] <tion> My XP setup is faster that linux
[08:46] <ikonia> DrManhattan: yes, but running an OS from the USB device will = slower performance
[08:46] <ikonia> tion: do you need help, yes/no
[08:46] <DrManhattan> ikonia, in cinelerra you can use other computers as nodes on a rendering cluster and it's built into the program
[08:47] <ikonia> DrManhattan: yes, but still running the OS from a usb stick......bad idea, especially if you are looking for performance
[08:47] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I doubt it, the node client program doesn't even use a GUI as far as I know
[08:47] <ikonia> DrManhattan: ahh, so you don't want to run the whole OS from usb ?
[08:47] <tion> i was here for help the other day and no onw could fix it
[08:48] <Ben64> tion: so you decided to come here and complain?
[08:48] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I would but all it uses for the node client is network/cpu/ram, it uses no HD resources that I know of
[08:48] <ikonia> tion: that dosn't mean keep complaining, ask again and see if someone else can help
[08:48] <majnoon> there IS hyperv stuff in kernel BUT it so can use linux in windows hyperv environment as a GUEST
[08:48] <ikonia> DrManhattan: so just to be clear, you are not running the OS from the USB disk
[08:48] <tion> im not even going to have to go thru it allover again
[08:48] <ikonia> tion: then please be quiet
[08:48] <DrManhattan> ikonia, the file is still written to the main workstation, the rendering jobs are chopped into chunks and sent to the nodes
[08:49] <tion> allready sent the bugs reportes
[08:49] <ikonia> tion: then please be quiet
[08:49] <majnoon> DrManhattan, you have vmware player ?
[08:49] <khameis> hi
[08:49] <khameis> h r u
[08:49] <DrManhattan> ikonia, for the nodes I WOULD like to run the OS off of a USB stick and probably use a generic kernel , but on my home cluster I will run it all natively off of its own partitions
[08:50] <majnoon> <-- running full ubuntu from usb pendrive
[08:50] <khameis> i am new user ubuntu
[08:50] <ikonia> DrManhattan: running the OS from a USB device when you want quick access, is a bad call
[08:50] <khameis> is there any arabic person???????????????????????
[08:50] <ikonia> DrManhattan: (based on what you've said you want)
[08:50] <DrManhattan> ikonia, the difference being with usb sticks I can go into one of my friends offices and just use Ubuntu via USB and run the node client.
[08:51] <aeon-ltd> !arabic
[08:51] <majnoon> ikonia, i'm doing what he wants now
[08:51] <khameis> who is arabic write????????????????????????
[08:51] <ikonia> DrManhattan: I appreciate what you are trying to do, but you are also moving away from what you initially wanted which was quick performance for distributed processing
[08:51] <ikonia> majnoon: so ?
[08:51] <DrManhattan> Im sure there will be some minimal performance loss due to the use of a generic kernel but what the heck man, some of this guys offices have 100 core2duo's and core2quads in them
[08:51] <majnoon> it possible
[08:51] <ikonia> DrManhattan: it's not about the generic kernel
[08:51] <khameis> ????????????????????????
[08:51] <majnoon> DrManhattan, you have vmware player ?
[08:51] <khameis> pls
[08:52] <DrManhattan> maknz, yes
[08:52] <beowulf2> anyone know any good electronic music composition software for linux?
[08:52] <elfranne> DrManhattan, the problem is the USB
[08:52] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I suppose I could do it with a stack of CD's then - it certainly would be cheap
[08:52] <ikonia> DrManhattan: the CD's would still be the problem
[08:52] <mvt007geek> khameis: go to your language room.here is not Middle East >:o
[08:52] <DrManhattan> ikonia, WHY?
[08:53] <elfranne> DrManhattan, unless you have USB3 .... CD would be worse
[08:53] <majnoon> in vmware player load usb as a hd install ubuntu to it as if it was a regular hd
[08:53] <ikonia> DrManhattan: you're using very slow IO and a lot of ram to load the OS and run the OS
[08:53] <ikonia> DrManhattan: therefore you'd be bottlenecked by that and thus slow down your node performance
[08:53] <ikonia> majnoon: no-one is saying you can't use a USB, we are saying it's not fit for purpose for his needs
[08:53] <majnoon> wubi prob be better i think for that then
[08:53] <ikonia> no it would not
[08:54] <ikonia> wubi would be the worse possible solusiton
[08:54] <DrManhattan> ikonia, but all the OS is doing is running the kernel and the node client. It's a pretty simple thing. it isnt going to be wiring back and forth to the device that the OS is loaded from that much - in fact, I'd probably run the OS itself from a ramdisk
[08:54] <mvt007geek> majnoon: where is leili? ;)
[08:54] <ikonia> DrManhattan: that's not all it's doing
[08:54] <ikonia> DrManhattan: that's what it "looks" like it's doing, but that's not all it does
[08:54] <DrManhattan> wirign - writing
[08:54] <majnoon> though i DID find one problem with wubi and windows 8 (not a major one)
[08:54] <ikonia> it will require disk IO access just to "live"
[08:55] <DrManhattan> ikonia, then ramdisk it is
[08:55] <ikonia> majnoon: no-one is asking about wubi
[08:55] <ikonia> DrManhattan: ok, so now you go into the next level of possible problem in that your whole OS will be in ram.....do you want to use/waste that ram holding the whole os, or use it for node processing
[08:55] <DrManhattan> I've yet to see a linux distro that wasn't capable of being REALLY lightweight - xubuntu on a ramdisk
[08:56] <DrManhattan> ikonia, honestly - it depends on how small I can get the OS
[08:56] <aeon-ltd> you can go lighter than xubuntu
[08:56] <tion> i love the shinny arrow that blinks every time you click :)
[08:56] <ikonia> DrManhattan: very true, it's not a "problem"
[08:56] <majnoon> if do a regular reboot it drops to busybox ,regular reboot uses a modified hybernation mode
[08:56] <ikonia> DrManhattan: however it maybe a problem depending on what you do
[08:56] <DrManhattan> ikonia, if I could get it to go sans GUI - it would run like an absolute monster
[08:56] <ikonia> DrManhattan: it's just something to be aware of
[08:56] <majnoon> need to do a  cold boot
[08:57] <ikonia> DrManhattan: eg: your whole OS will require ram, ram that will not be available to your processing application, balance it and you'll get good performance with your OS being in ram too
[08:57] <majnoon> mvt007geek, no know
[08:57] <DrManhattan> yeah but lets say in theory - I got the OS to load initially with 512MB or less, I'm golden on an office full of modern boxes with 4g of ram or better
[08:57] <ikonia> DrManhattan: then the waste turns into benifit in my opinion on that sort of sizing
[08:58] <majnoon> he want to do thin-client type thing /?
[08:58] <DrManhattan> back in the old days I did that sometimes for gameservers
[08:58] <elfranne> DrManhattan, how about netboot ?
[08:58] <ikonia> DrManhattan: if you can get that level of trade off, I think you'll do well, just remember to write to the ram disk for your processing application too
[08:58] <spyzer> hey everyone, i am running xrdp on ubuntu xfce. But from an RDP client when I try to connect to the machine t says gnome-session not found
[08:58] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I think it would be fantastic and save me a tremendous amount of time on large renders
[08:58] <ikonia> DrManhattan: other wise the USB device will still be your bottleneck
[08:59] <spyzer> i change the .xsession file and wrote xfce4-session
[08:59] <spyzer> int it
[08:59] <DrManhattan> ikonia, yeah, will keep that in mind, but the first run on that would be sick
[08:59] <ikonia> DrManhattan: eg: if your reading and writing your application processing to /processing make sure /processing is held in ram and then you can commit that to physical media after it's done
[08:59] <spyzer> but it still says the same thing
[08:59] <spyzer> please help
[08:59] <spyzer> anybody
[09:00] <aeon-ltd> spyzer: what are you trying to do?
[09:00] <DrManhattan> ikonia, I gotcha, ie /ramdisk/cinelerra/tmp
[09:00] <ikonia> DrManhattan: exactly
[09:00] <DrManhattan> thank you
[09:00] <spyzer> i am trying to rdp to a machine with ubuntu xfce
[09:00] <spyzer> installed
[09:00] <spyzer> aeon-ltd: unable to rdp to a machine with xfce as desktop environment
[09:01] <ikonia> DrManhattan: as long as the ratio for OS/disk storage in ram leave enough ram free for application processing, I think you'll have a great boost
[09:01] <aeon-ltd> spyzer: does it start xfce at boot?
[09:01] <spyzer> yes
[09:01] <corenot> DrManhattan do you really glow blue and can create matter and antimatter
[09:02] <ikonia> corenot: not in here please.
[09:02] <majnoon> ikonia, idea ,maybe 2 usb pens ,1 for os and other for data ??
[09:02] <ikonia> majnoon: please stop, you have no idea what you are saying in relation to DrManhattan's issue
[09:02] <spyzer> aeon-ltd, yes it does boot xfce in the start
[09:03] <DrManhattan> its all about toram
[09:03] <majnoon> usb pen works good on my netbook
[09:04] <ikonia> majnoon: not for DrManhattan's needs
[09:04] <ikonia> majnoon: no-one has said you can't use a usb drive, it is just not suitable for DrManhattan's needs as I said earlier
[09:05] <spyzer> no?
[09:05] <DrManhattan> http://www.assistcg.com/component/content/article/67.html
[09:07] <Ronalds_M> can I backup steam game on some other partition?
[09:07] <DrManhattan> Oh my sweet goodness
[09:07] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: steam has a backup function
[09:07] <DrManhattan> I could take red files and mash em down to useable in nothing time with this
[09:07] <DrManhattan> mpeg -2, or 4
[09:07] <ikonia> DrManhattan: excellent.
[09:07] <Ronalds_M> ikonia, but it isn't downloading TF2 another time
[09:08] <aeon-ltd> spyzer: this sounds similar to your situation http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/problems-connecting-to-xrdp-xfce-desktop-after-ubuntu-upgrade-943189/
[09:08] <Ronalds_M> after I install other distro?
[09:08] <DrManhattan> hooray for linux - this is why you guys get shout outs on the big bang theory
[09:08] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: then contact steam support
[09:08] <Ronalds_M> it takes a day to download that game
[09:08] <Ronalds_M> again
[09:09] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: you can physically copy the files, however it is doubtful steam will "use them"
[09:09] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: contact steam for the official backup/restore process
[09:09] <Ronalds_M> I doubt it too
[09:09] <Ronalds_M> maybe they have irc for linux version?
[09:09] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: doubtful
[09:10] <Ronalds_M> no they probably don't
[09:10] <Ronalds_M> :D
[09:10] <ikonia> DrManhattan: they have email support
[09:10] <ikonia> DrManhattan: sorry not you
[09:10] <ikonia> Ronalds_M: they have email support
[09:10] <Ronalds_M> I founded backup funtion
[09:10] <Ronalds_M> ok sorry for questions
[09:10] <ikonia> no need to be sorry
[09:10] <ikonia> that's what the channel is here for
[09:11] <frostedfire> hey everyone!
[09:11] <frostedfire> just needed to know a bit abt the new ubuntu mobile os!
[09:11] <ikonia> frostedfire: there is no information
[09:11] <ikonia> frostedfire: beyond what is on the website
[09:12] <frostedfire> is it okay to do app dev on QT creator!
[09:12] <frostedfire> oh!
[09:12] <frostedfire> bt its so vague on the site!
[09:12] <ikonia> frostedfire: contact canonical, as that is the only information they have released.
[09:12] <frostedfire> canonical?
[09:13] <frostedfire> me new to ubuntu!
[09:13] <ikonia> frostedfire: the company that makes it.....
[09:13] <frostedfire> ^_^
[09:13] <frostedfire> oh!
[09:13] <ikonia> frostedfire: I suggest doing some research
[09:13] <frostedfire> ty
[09:13] <frostedfire> k
[09:13] <frostedfire> but where do i begin with?
[09:13] <frostedfire> google i guess!
[09:13] <ikonia> frostedfire: the website.....
[09:13] <frostedfire> lol
[09:13] <frostedfire> k
[09:13] <Ronalds_M> can I write ubuntu 12.10 on 700 mb disk?
[09:14] <Ronalds_M> or it is more now
[09:14] <dr_willis> 12.10 needs a dvd
[09:15] <Ronalds_M> well thats sad
[09:15] <igoryonya> ubuntu 9.10 ext3 mounts read only, can
[09:15] <dr_willis> thats progress...
[09:15] <Ronalds_M> can't wait for next stable relise
[09:15] <igoryonya> 't figure out how to mount normally
[09:16] <Ronalds_M> 12.10 seems fine, but don't like to upgrade it from 12.04
[09:16] <dr_willis> check the output of the mount command to be sure its mounted with the right options
[09:16] <spyzer> aeon-ltd, thanks
[09:17] <Ronalds_M> can phone be used as USB device for installing ubuntu?
[09:17] <iml> no
[09:18] <dr_willis> Ronalds_M:  i would doubt that.
[09:18] <Guest54737> bye ~ ~
[09:18] <frostedfire> a noob talking here so pls excuse me
[09:18] <frostedfire> but is ubuntu that btr than windows?
[09:18] <igoryonya> dr_willis, in fstab there is rw and remount readonly on error, I check it with fsck then remount with rw option, it says, cannot remount rw
[09:18] <corenot> yes it is
[09:19] <frostedfire> i never used it so i don't know!
[09:19] <ikonia> frostedfire: that's personal opinion, you'll need to make your own mind up
[09:19] <ikonia> frostedfire: try it if you want, see if you like it
[09:19] <ikonia> corenot: please......
[09:19] <dr_willis> igoryonya:  hmm.. does dmesg give any messages about it if you unmount it. and try to remount it.
[09:19] <majnoon> frostedfire, depends on what you want to do actually
[09:19] <frostedfire> ikonia am not talking abt the feel psrt of the os
[09:19] <ikonia> frostedfire: I didn't say you where
[09:19] <frostedfire> am talking abt the technical details
[09:20] <frostedfire> lol
[09:20] <ikonia> frostedfire: yes, and it's personal opinion, try it and see if you like it
[09:20] <Ronalds_M> frostedfire, those are not technical at all
[09:20] <shortstraw8> What do I need to do to get my repository to show on local host after I commit and then restart apache, do I have to do anything with /var/www
[09:20] <frostedfire> its that my friend uses ubuntu and he says that its smoother hangs less and stuff like that
[09:21] <frostedfire> thats wat i asked abt
[09:21] <ikonia> frostedfire: it will for some, it won't for others, hence "try it"
[09:21] <frostedfire> oh
[09:21] <frostedfire> k
[09:22] <majnoon> is main reason why the cd/dvd is a live one
[09:23] <ikonia> majnoon: no, ir juar has too much data on it to be a CD
[09:23] <majnoon> is why i put cd/dvd
[09:23] <ikonia> majnoon: but then your question makes no sense
[09:24] <majnoon> meant for him to burn one and try it out
[09:24] <ikonia> "is the reason it's a cd/dvd because it's a livecd", "no" the reason it's a cd/dvd is because it's an easy to distribute media storage device
[09:24] <majnoon> then no need to install first
[09:25] <majnoon> can try out then install if he likes it
[09:26] <arunkumar413> how to syntaxt highlight qml in gedit
[09:26] <dr_willis> I rember when  the idea of a live cd was new ;)

[09:30] <pratz> Hello guys
[09:30] <pratz> how can I do this in one line  "export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0" and "pidgin" ?
[09:30] <pratz> got it
[09:31] <pratz> export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0 && pidgin
[09:31] <pratz> correct ?
[09:31] <arunkumar413> how to highlight qml code in gedit
[09:32] <dr_willis> pratz:  or use ;
[09:32] <pratz> dr_willis: that was cool
[09:32] <igoryonya> dr_willis, when I umount /, I also tried umount /dev/sda1, it just goes to the next prompt line, doesn't give any errors, doesn't unmount and dmesg doesn't show any new lines @ the end.
[09:32] <dr_willis> pratz:  actually with system variables you may not need to use export.
[09:33] <dr_willis> igoryonya:  err. i dont think you can unmount /
[09:33] <dr_willis> theres the remount option
[09:34] <goshVerhoben> ahoi
[09:35] <pratz> dr_willis: there is one problem though
[09:35] <pratz> dr_willis: I am putting the command in pidgin launch properties
[09:35] <pratz> dr_willis: and it is giving me error 'export'
[09:36] <dr_willis> pratz:  i thought you can do --    foo=bar  commandtorun
[09:38] <kewel> I finally got youtube working on this old PIII.  had to install flash 10.3 .. however, the picture is choppy.  should I try older versions of 10.3?  or do I need to consider installing lubuntu?
[09:38] <dr_willis> kewel:  i bet flash is using 10x more resources then lubuntu would. ;)
[09:39] <kewel> dr_willis: really?  I've never tried lubuntu .. is it kewel?
[09:39] <kewel> heh
[09:39] <Kingsy> guys, I am using a ntfs usb stick, the OS mounts the stick automatically but it mounts as read only. If I umount it and attempt to mount manually there is not sdb1 partition only the device (sdb) .. what do I do?
[09:39] <dr_willis> lubuntu works well on my netbooks
[09:40] <kewel> dr_willis: and I will be able to use flash plugin?
[09:40] <arunkumar413> sound in ubuntu sucks
[09:40] <iml> won't make flash play any better on that old cpu
[09:40] <dr_willis> kewel:  flash works for me on 12.10 ;)
[09:40] <kewel> mixxed messages
[09:41] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  the ntfs-config tool can tweak how ntfs-gets mountes
[09:41] <kewel> PIII 1GHz 512MB
[09:41] <dr_willis> mounted
[09:41] <arunkumar413> i have dolby advanced audio on my  laptop but ubuntu plays it like general stereo
[09:41] <andrea__> hello, do you guys know if my CANONSCAN 4400F is supported on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[09:41] <auronandace> kewel: flash will run awfully on that cpu no matter what you use
[09:42] <kewel> ya prolly right.
[09:42] <kewel> it belongs to the house I'm living in
[09:42] <kewel> had windows xp on it and it was fried
[09:43] <kewel> so I got an xp pro disc, and got halfway through install when I found out the serial key was invalid
[09:43] <aeon-ltd> heh
[09:43] <kewel> I'd been wanting to overwrite the ntfs partition with ubuntu
[09:43] <kewel> now I kinda had to heh
[09:44] <kewel> but it's not my puter.  I don't think flash was working in windows.  I just want this puter to surf and openoffice
[09:44] <Kingsy> dr_willis: "enable write support for external device" checkbox is ticked. there is no partitions in the advanced list under it. the OS still mounts as read only.
[09:44] <kewel> oh well
[09:45] <kewel> I'll see if I can't locate a blank cdr.  try out lubuntu.  I'll come tell you how it is.  thanks for bein kewel
[09:45] <kewel> peace
[09:45] <igoryonya> dr_willis, when I do mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /, it gives me: ext3_abort called. EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sda1 read-write, is write-protected
[09:46] <dr_willis> igoryonya:  that is weird.. almost sounds like theres some sort of write protect tab on the device
[09:46] <nytrix> how do i run certain commands automatically when ubuntu boots up?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: do they need root access?
[09:47] <nytrix> u mean sudo? yes
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: and do they need the desk2
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Desktop to be loaded
[09:47] <nytrix> desk2? whats that?
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: typo :)
[09:48] <nytrix> yes
[09:48] <dr_willis> nytrix:  depends on what command ;)
[09:48] <nytrix> sudo macchanger -r eth0
[09:48] <nytrix> :)
[09:48] <dr_willis>   that needs to be ran BEFOR login? if so it can to in /etc/rc.local
[09:49] <igoryonya> dr_willis, any ideas?
[09:49] <dr_willis> unless its a gui app.
[09:49] <ademone> hello
[09:49] <moin> I need urgent help with a netbeans issue. I have a c++ project that compiles using g++ at the command line, but won't build and run in netbeans. The project uses cppunit library,which is already installed. Here is the output of the build command in netbeans ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1555080/
[09:49] <dr_willis> igoryonya:  id get a live cd. and see what happens if you try to access it.
[09:49] <moin> Kindly assist
[09:49] <ademone> my external hard disk it cant be mounted
[09:49] <nytrix> i need to run sudo macchanger -r etho whenever my pc boots up
[09:49] <ademone> i can see it from gparted
[09:49] <geektee> why can't i do "sudo apt-get install ... " 2 applications at the same time. while it is possible in windows ? i was installing a framework. but then i had to install 1mb game in the meanwhile. is it possible ????
[09:49] <igoryonya> dr_willis, already tried, samething
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: the way I do it, is to make a script with a pause of 10 seconds then run the command,  then run the command in /etc/rc.local backgrounded so that the boot continues.  The script will run as root and the pause gives the desktop time to load
[09:50] <corenot_> Hi ActionParsnip
[09:50] <ademone> can someone help me?
[09:50] <geektee> why can't i do "sudo apt-get install ... " 2 applications at the same time. while it is possible in windows ? i was installing a framework. but then i had to install 1mb game in the meanwhile. is it possible ????
[09:50] <nytrix> i dont knw how to make scripts
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Geektee: because only one application can access the packages at one time
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Corenot_: hi
[09:51] <geektee> ActionParsnip: don't you think that is a major drawback in ubuntu over windows ??
[09:51] <corenot_> geektee: you can install maybe try putting a space in between them, if dependencies are there then install them first
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Geektee: its also a thing in Windows,  the Windows installer can only be run once ar a time
[09:52] <dr_willis> nytrix:  if that command is not using a X gui.. it can go in /etc/rc.local
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Geektee: no, its so that the packages don't get messed up
[09:52] <nytrix> dr, no it is a commad line program and not gui
[09:52] <dr_willis> nytrix:  so.. it can go in rc.local
[09:53] <dr_willis> que up installing 5 things in windows in a row. ;)  apt can do that easially
[09:53] <nytrix> dr, so just add the line sudo macchanger - r eth0 in rc.local?
[09:53] <dr_willis> or 600 things...
[09:53] <dr_willis> nytrix:  no need for sudo in rc.local
[09:53] <corenot_> doc you know best.......i didn't know that
[09:54] <ademone> hello
[09:54] <ademone> my external hard disk it cant be mounted
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: then simply add the command in /etc/rc.local   and it will run at boot. That doesn't need GUI
[09:54] <ademone> can someone help me?
[09:54] <ademone> i can see it from gparted
[09:55] <studio> hello
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Ademone: last time you unplugged it, did you use the safely remove feature or did you just yank it out?
[09:55] <nytrix> in the file it says In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
[09:55] <nytrix> # bits.
[09:55] <studio> andbody use the new Ubuntu 12 with Xface ?
[09:55] <corenot_> yes
[09:55] <ademone> cant remeber
[09:55] <dr_willis> studio:  you mean XFCE ?
[09:55] <nytrix> how do i change the execution bits?
[09:55] <studio> its xface yes
[09:55] <dr_willis> nytrix:  its execuitable to begin with
[09:56] <ademone> i have a lot of time that i didnt use it
[09:56] <dr_willis> !info xface
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Studio: there is no Ubuntu 12, there is 12.10 and 12.04
[09:56] <ademone> maybe just a yunk out
[09:56] <studio> xface or ubuntu12 its not the same ?
[09:56] <dr_willis> studio:  no idea what 'xface' is
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Nytrix: chmod +x filename
[09:57] <studio> when i go top on the menu there is a help for xface
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Ademone;: what filesystem does the partition use?
[09:57] <corenot_> Its not xface its xfce
[09:57] <ademone> ntfs
[09:57] <Kingsy> dr_willis: any ideas?
[09:57] <studio> zes sorry
[09:57] <studio> Xfce
[09:58] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  with what?  ive been trying to figure out what xface is.. ;)
[09:58] <Kingsy> lol
[09:58] <corenot_> to my knowledge it works without any problems : xfce
[09:58] <Kingsy> dr_willis: I cant mount my ntfs usb stick with write permissions.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Ademone: I suggest you plug it in to a Windows pc, chkdsk the partition, then use the safe remove feature.  Then try it in Ubuntu
[09:58] <Kingsy> and according to the contents of /dev/ it doesnt even have a partition
[09:58] <studio> it Xfce 4.10
[09:58] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  when in doubt fallback to the ntfs-3g command and use whatever options is needed. Or access it as root. ;)
[09:58] <Kingsy> but it must because it mounts automatically as readonly
[09:59] <Kingsy> dr_willis: I did, it said..
[09:59] <corenot_> studio: what about it??
[09:59] <dr_willis> Kingsy:   next time unmount it via the command line.not the gui.  then try remounting it via the command line
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: have you chkdsk'd the partition?
[09:59] <studio> i use simple ubuntu without Windows
[09:59] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  i recall the gui having a unmount, or 'eject' thing. eject turns off the device untillyou replug it back in
[10:00] <ademone> from the windows pc it suggest me to format it
[10:00] <studio> im new with ubuntu is just learning...
[10:00] <nytrix> cool thanks guys. i will try to logout and back in to see
[10:00] <nytrix> :)
[10:00] <Kingsy> dr_willis: yeah it does, I have done that, ejected the device..   it says Failed to mount '/dev/sdb': No medium found       and     ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory  for sdb1 it obviously doesnt exist
[10:00] <corenot_> studio: good one, xubuntu and kubuntu are equally well but now just stick with one till you become expert
[10:00] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: no, how do you chkdisk?
[10:01] <SinfulSong> Anyone active here who isn't hardware dumb?
[10:01] <SinfulSong> -_-
[10:01] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  id try plugging it in.. let it auto mount.. check the mount options.. see if root user can read/write to it. that will show its not some weird hardware issue.
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: you'll need Windows for it
[10:01] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  then use the umount command to unmount it.
[10:01] <theadmin> SinfulSong: Well, hardware issues are normally discussed in ##hardware, not here. Unless it's a driver problem or such.
[10:01] <Kingsy> okie dokie..
[10:02] <Kingsy> dr_willis: thanks
[10:02] <SinfulSong> theadmin: thank you
[10:03] <Kingsy> dr_willis: yeah it works under root :D
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: be sure you use the safely remove feature in ALL OSes
[10:04] <Kingsy> I still don't see why it would work under root.. the mountpoint is drwx------ 14 chris chris 4096 Jan 21 10:02 Key      my native user is "chris" and I still cant write to it
[10:04] <shortstraw8> Anyone know the command to load a new file to apache?
[10:05] <Kingsy> it says clearly there, it has rwx for the assigned user
[10:06] <unknown_> hi, i setup dnscrypt-proxy on my desktop but i still can see my real ip address
[10:06] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  /dev/sdk1 on /media/willis/Storage_5 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[10:06] <dr_willis> is the options my ntfs disk seems to be using
[10:06] <dr_willis> this is on 12.10
[10:07] <Kingsy> hrm weird  -->    /dev/sdb1 on /media/Key type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)
[10:07] <zgler> 	hi, i setup dnscrypt-proxy on my desktop but i still can see my real ip address
[10:07] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  thats vfat not ntfs :)
[10:07] <Kingsy> yep.. I wonder why.. weird
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Wow people use vfat?
[10:08] <dr_willis> im not sure the dmask/umask options are correct
[10:08] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: apparently so :S
[10:08] <dr_willis> all the time on my flash drives  and sd cards.
[10:08] <zgler> :dr_willis   ,   hi, i setup dnscrypt-proxy on my desktop but i still can see my real ip address
[10:08] <dr_willis> zgler:  never heard of  dnscrypt-proxy
[10:08] <zgler> it's from opendns
[10:09] <dr_willis> check their docs/support forurms then perhaps?
[10:09] <zgler> ok, :)
[10:09] <Kingsy> dr_willis: looks like the eject option in the GUI was breaking it somehow, if you umount it the partition is still there..
[10:09] <Kingsy> yipee
[10:09] <szx> do .desktop files support variables? I tried using $HOME and ${HOME} but none of them worked
[10:09] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  eject sort of powers OFF the device.. it wont be seen again by the system untill remove/reinserted
[10:10] <dr_willis> szx:  not that i am aware of.
[10:11] <dr_willis> http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
[10:11] <dr_willis> theres some built in 'variables'
[10:12] <szx> can't see any variables there
[10:13] <szx> did you mean those % specifiers?
[10:13] <mehdi__> how to creat new user??
[10:14] <fidel> mehdi__: in cli its via 'adduser'
[10:14] <mehdi__> thanks fidel
[10:14] <Keshav> cli?
[10:15] <dr_willis> szx:  those are internal variables. ;)
[10:15] <dr_willis> szx:  you could make the .desktop file launch a bash script that would have full bash features
[10:15] <mehdi__> fidel : thanks
[10:15] <dr_willis> Keshav:  in a terminal you can add a user via -->   'sudo adduser billgates'  or whatever name you want
[10:16] <ihsan_> Hello, I just installed openvpn through "sudo apt-get install openvpn", and I want to set it up with VPNBook but I don't know what to do. I would really appreciate your help, thank!
[10:16] <Keshav> Okay, I am a newbie and  I heard cli term for the first time so got confused thanks :)
[10:18] <mehdi__> how to terminal code fo adsd user??
[10:19] <mehdi__> '' for add user???
[10:19] <dr_willis> mehdi__:  what?
[10:19] <corenot_> adduser adsd
[10:19] <dr_willis> Keshav:   'sudo adduser billgates'
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> ! Adduser
[10:19] <dr_willis> oops ;)
[10:19] <corenot_> hi keshav
[10:19] <mehdi__> how to guak add user???
[10:19] <dr_willis> the most logically named command  in the whole system.
[10:20] <dr_willis> the adduser command adds a new user to the system. ;)
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Mehdi__: what is guak?
[10:20] <Keshav> hi corenot
[10:20] <mehdi__> terminal or f12...
[10:21] <Keshav> terminal
[10:21] <Keshav> sudo adduser
[10:22] <corenot_> you mean guake
[10:22] <corenot_> press CTRL+ALT+T to open terminal
[10:23] <corenot_> F12 to open guake
[10:23] <mehdi__> yes corenot
[10:23] <mehdi__> thanks
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Guake is awesome
[10:25] <daniel_mu> hello
[10:27] <Keshav> hi abhinav_singh
[10:27] <corenot_> hi abhi
[10:28] <corenot_> keshav which place in india are you from
[10:28] <Keshav> MUmbai
[10:28] <corenot_> same here bro
[10:32] <mvt007geek> hey guys please help me/. i wrote ubuntu on sd card but pandaboard doesn't boot it.and serial port shows nothing
[10:33] <corenot_> mvt: see if panda arch supports ubuntu
[10:33] <mvt007geek> yes.the architecture is right
[10:33] <k1l_> mvt007geek: we have #ubuntu-arm for arm related questions
[10:34] <mvt007geek> k1l_: it didn't help so much
[10:36] <texla> In ubuntu-12.04.1 Neither gconf-editor or dconf-editor are installed....Which one should be used with this distro.
[10:36] <corenot_> you need to make sd card bootable
[10:36] <vmachine1> hi
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Texla: dconf
[10:38] <mvt007geek> i have    	 	 	 	 	 	    ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img     too
[10:38] <texla> ActionParsnip, Thanks !!!
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Mvt007geek: how did you put the data on the SD card?
[10:38] <tomreyn> hi, i remember running into this issue before but i don't remember the solution, and a web search didn't help: i'm using libreoffice  <IP_ADDRESS> on ubuntu 12.10 and when i start libreoffice writer and try to start the letter assistant from the "file" menu, nothing happens at all. no related warning or error message is written to stdout/stderror either
[10:39] <tomreyn> i seem to recall this is somehow related to the java runtime not being properly started / found, but in extras -> options -> libreoffice -> java it does show that my openjdk JRE (1.7.0) is detected.
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Tomreyn: try renaming ~/.config/libreoffice  then run the application again
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Tomreyn: java isn't necessary for libreoffice to run
[10:40] <mvt007geek> ActionParsnip:     	 	 	 	 	 	    dd if=ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img of=/dev/sdb
[10:40] <mvt007geek> corenot_: how should i make it bootable?
[10:40] <army_man> Keshav:  hi are you from India?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Mvt007geek: did you MD5 test the file?
[10:41] <mvt007geek> corenot_: even serialport shows me nothing.
[10:41] <tomreyn> ActionParsnip: not for libreoffice itself, but for the assistants, isn't it?
[10:41] <tomreyn> at least that's how it used to be in openoffice times
[10:41] <mvt007geek> ActionParsnip: when i downloaded ubuntu i did checksum on file
[10:42] <tomreyn> ActionParsnip: unfortunately renaming  ~/.config/libreoffice didn't help
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Tomreyn: not sure. Could try without to see if it affects your use
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Mvt007geek: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu may help
[10:44] <tomreyn> ActionParsnip: turns out i was missing some packages.
[10:44] <tomreyn> (works after: sudo apt-get install libreoffice)
[10:44] <hXm> hello i have a ubuntu server and i modified /var/www in this way: sudo chown root:www /var/www/ -R
[10:44] <hXm> and added my user to www group
[10:44] <hXm> but i cant enter in some directories
[10:44] <mvt007geek> texla: whaat should i do now? i should download them?
[10:45] <Keshav> I have an Mtnl Data card, installed its .deb file after copying it on desktop, now this data card has a habit of disconnecting every 1 hour or so, moreover the system does not recognise the card after it disconnects. I have also tried removing the dongle from the USB but still it won't get detected
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Hxm: are the folders executable to the group?
[10:46] <Keshav> AS a result I have to restart the system after every 1 hour with ubuntu, however for Windows the setup file detects the dongle and hence saves up time
[10:46] <Keshav> Any solution for this?
[10:46] <Keshav> workaround?
[10:47] <hXm> ActionParsnip: i just see this when i execute ls -la d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? .
[10:47] <hXm> d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? ..
[10:47] <hXm> and before that alot of permission denied
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Keshav: unload and reload the driver module, should jump it to life. Are there bugs reported?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Hxm: probably the issue then
[10:49] <Keshav> How to check that :o Am a newbie so if you could guide or link to some page?
[10:49] <corenot_> mvt007geek: use unetbootin to create a bootable disk
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Hxm: you may want to set an acl to clear up the mess
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> !bug | Keshav
[10:50] <hXm> ActionParsnip: i thought setfacl --restore cleaned up
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Hxm: not used that, sorry
[10:52] <dr_willis> every time ive seen  ??? ?? ?? in file name/permissions -> it was a fs error.
[10:52] <dr_willis> its not a good sign. :)
[10:54] <hXm> i see them with root, dr_willis
[10:54] <dr_willis> Huh?  You see differnt permissions as root. and as a user?
[10:54] <dr_willis> or  You mean they are correct as root.
[10:54] <hXm> i cant see the permissions with the user but i can see them with root
[10:54] <hXm> yes, that is
[10:54] <hXm> they are correct as root
[10:54] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever messed with acl's so no idea on that.
[10:55] <dr_willis> that would seem.. weird. ;)
[10:55] <jirido> vHi there comrades.. do anyone know if vfat really needs noatime in fstab. isn't it so that fat32 dont have owner or permissions so why access stamps??
[10:55] <dr_willis> jirido:  may make access faster - since it dose4nt even try
[10:57] <igoryonya_> can't mount root file system (ext3) in rw mode; file -s /dev/sda1 results: (needs journal recovery) (errors) (large files)
[10:57] <dr_willis> i dont see noatime listed as an option for vfat in  man mount
[10:57] <ikonia> it's not
[10:58] <dr_willis> allow_utime=value This option controls the permission check of mtime/atime.
[10:58] <jirido> dr_willis, i didn see it was specified
[11:03] <jirido> Is the defaults different for different filesystems or is it the same / ah so if i put allow_utime it will notice that vfat dont use atime and drop the checkings?
[11:03] <jirido> Ahh i didnt check man mount.. only fstab :(
[11:03] <jirido> me going reading a bit

[11:13] <corenot_> does this place need a mod....im up for it
[11:16] <Layke> Hey, I've got a problem, my mouse cursor works, but it won't respond to clicks?
[11:16] <corenot_> anyone there
[11:16] <Layke> I can move it around the screen, any way of fixing without a restart?
[11:16] <corenot_> check your mouse
[11:17] <corenot_> its become a bad mousey
[11:17] <k1l> Layke: you are sure the hardware is  fine?
[11:17] <Layke> Yeah. 100%. It happens from time to time
[11:17] <Layke> I usualily restart, but I have so much stuff up that I want to avoid it this time
[11:18] <corenot_> check processes something is eating resources
[11:18] <Layke> Thanks. That fixed it
[11:18] <Layke> It was spotify
[11:19] <Layke> It wasn't eating resources, but it was at the top of my top.
[11:19] <corenot_> ok great Layke!! thanks
[11:19] <corenot_> k1l: do you need mods here
[11:20] <CougarF55> hi all
[11:20] <k1l> corenot_: if so, there ar calls for ops from time to time. take a look at the mailinglist
[11:21] <corenot_> k1l: where's are the  mailing list...should i hunt for it
[11:21] <hXm> i dont know what i did, i was trying to restore permissions to a folder and i got this su: User not known to the underlying authentication module
[11:22] <hXm> now i even cant log in via ssh
[11:22] <hXm> Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied
[11:22] <dr_willis> hmm.. what folder where you altering permissions on?
[11:22] <k1l> corenot_: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-irc
[11:22] <hXm> i tried /var/www/sudoers.so/wren but i think i executed some crappy script and it did / instead
[11:23] <corenot_> k1l:thanks
[11:23] <dr_willis> ouch
[11:23] <hXm> root still works
[11:23] <hXm> can i do something more than delete the user?
[11:24] <dr_willis> see what the permissions are on /bin/bash ?
[11:24] <hXm> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 955024 abr  3  2012 /bin/bash
[11:24] <dr_willis> its kinda hard to tell what happened
[11:24] <hXm> i executed this http://drupal.org/node/328672
[11:24] <hXm> and the //  did the rest
[11:25] <hXm> instead of paste line per line i pasted everything
[11:25] <hXm> please shot me
[11:26] <dr_willis> you meanyou ran the command 'Drupal' wher it has line breaks on that page/
[11:27] <hXm> dr_willis: i copied&pasted those commands in the blockquote
[11:27] <dr_willis> you were not root at the time you did this?
[11:27] <hXm> i did it as sudo
[11:27] <dr_willis> i think that was not needed
[11:27] <hXm> yes now i know it
[11:27] <Mikicacarica> http://x.co/sLjP
[11:28] <dr_willis> check the users .history file perhaps and see what got ran
[11:28] <dr_willis> if you were in the right directory. i dont see how it hurt anything other then the Drupal files
[11:29] <hXm> well, i really want to forget this, just restore the permissions

[11:51] <dr_willis> !games
[11:51] <dr_willis> those sites may list what ones are out for linux. there may be some in the repos. Ive not looked
[11:51] <dr_willis> mupen64plus - plugin-based Nintendo 64 emulator (transitional dummy package)
[11:51] <dr_willis> seems theres one in the repos.. or somthing :)
[11:51] <nirpan> hello folks..does anyone know why my Asus UX32A gets so darn hot when i run ubuntu but no heating when running windows
[11:52] <nirpan> i really don't want to go back to windows..but this is making it difficult
[11:52] <Guest4082> I downloaded mupen 64 plus but cannot figure out how to get it started
[11:53] <dr_willis> check its homepage and docs i guess. ;) ive never used it.
[11:53] <dr_willis> nirpan:  that a laptop?
[11:54] <nirpan> dr_willis: yes
[11:54] <Guest4082> I have mupen64plus in my downloads, how do I open it?
[11:55] <dr_willis> extract tge archive, see whats in it. run any binaries in it. read any readme docs.
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> Guest4082  what kind of file is it?
[11:56] <onborad> efi  mode start linux,which graphics support display mode set.
[11:57] <dr_willis> nirpan:  cecked the forums and askubuntu.com for that exact make laptop? could be some  power saveing/driver options are needed.
[11:57] <nirpan> dr_willis: yeh i checked some of it....but most of the answers are about a slightly different model...
[11:57] <nirpan> and i read somehwere that i need to download some intel driver
[11:58] <Guest4082> all I know is I have mupen64plus1.99.5-osx
[11:58] <nirpan> but i just couldn't find anything on intel site
[11:58] <dr_willis> Guest4082:  osx - sounds like a Apple OS-X package to me
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> Guest4082  keep it in the channel please
[11:59] <Guest4082> ok
[11:59] <theadmin> I'll pop by later

[12:06] <hXm> or at least im able to log in back
[12:06] <hXm> i went to another ubuntu machine i have and copied its permissions
[12:06] <hXm> then created a sh with the chmod commands and executed it in the bad ubuntu

[12:12] <nirpan> dr_willis: will the intel powertop help?
[12:15] <iron_houzi> if I change the locale on my server, do I need to reboot for the effect to take place, or can I log in/out without having to reboot?
[12:16] <dr_willis> nirpan: i think powertop tells you whats using all the battery - ive never really used it.
[12:17] <Touhou11> iron_houzi: Yes

[12:18] <dr_willis> !bumblebee
[12:18] <dr_willis> !optimus

I am having a problem with an external drive (500Gb)... when I check properties it says that it has about 250GB in contents (half full) but 499Gb "used" and less than a Gb Free... it's like when ever I have deleted something it has gotten rid of the files but not actually freed up the space
[12:32] <somsip> Dr0pB3ar: did you check in the .Trash ?
[12:32] <Dr0pB3ar> no... I will try that now

[12:51] <mathi> hi
[12:51] <mathi> i have a problem while mounting my external usb hard drive to the cdrom
[12:51] <mathi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317
[12:52] <mathi> this works:  mount –t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
[12:52] <mathi> but the next step doesn't:   mount –t iso9660 –o loop /mnt/usb/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso /mnt/iso
[12:52] <mathi> it says no such fil or directory
[12:52] <mathi> indeed there is no iso file in /mnt/usb
[12:54] <LigH> Greetings. Running Ubuntu 12.04; usbview cannot list devices, usbdevfs is probably not installed, /proc/bus/ only contains input/ and pci/. Could not yet find any forum thread about how to install usbdevfs, only a "SOLVED" thread about the same issue without further details (issue may be deprecated).
[12:55] <LigH> mathi: To mount a disk to a directory, this directory has to be created first and must be empty. (mkdir)
[12:55] <mathi> LighH this has been done
[12:55] <mathi> in /mnt I have a dir usb and a dir iso
[12:55] <mathi> LigH, ^
[12:55] <LigH> Oh, sorry...
[12:56] <LigH> And you should have the ubuntu*.iso file on your mounted harddisk?
[12:56] <mathi> LigH you mean in /mnt/usb ?
[12:57] <LigH> Yes. You will have copied this image to this location when you want to mount it from there.
[12:58] <mathi> LigH I have a bunch of file in /mnt/usb (after having done "mount –t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb") but I don't see any iso file
[12:58] <dr_willis> mathi:  you made the directory /mnt/iso ?
[12:58] <mathi> dr_willis, yes
[12:59] <LigH> You can only mount an iso image which exists on the media where you want to mount it from.
[12:59] <dr_willis> you could be getting thepath to the iso wrong also
[12:59] <mathi> dr_willis, I don't have any iso file
[12:59] <dr_willis>  Your example shows an iso file
[12:59] <mathi> dr_willis, this is what I type and it doesn't work because there is no iso file
[13:00] <LigH> If you want to mount an ISO image from your USB stick, first copy that ISO file onto your USB stick.
[13:00] <mathi> I am folowing a tutorial
[13:00] <dr_willis> so you have a flash drive...  and it has an iso file on it?
[13:00] <mathi> I have Ubuntu Server image on an external hard drive
[13:00] <mathi> it is not an iso
[13:00] <mathi> it is the image with all the files
[13:00] <dr_willis> mathi:  what sort of 'image' is it exactly? where did it come from
[13:00] <mathi> from USB Universal Installer
[13:00] <LigH> An ISO image is a CD/DVD image, usually of an installation disc.
[13:01] <dr_willis> mathi:  you mean  you used the universial installer to 'create' a bootable flash drive from an iso file/cd?
[13:01] <mathi> dr_willis, exactly
[13:01] <iceroot> mathi: an sio is an image and you are looking at the content from the iso and not the iso file itsefl
[13:01] <mathi> because I have a mini-PC without CD reader
[13:01] <dr_willis> mathi:  so you mount the USB same as you would any other hard drive
[13:01] <LigH> If you created a bootable stick, boot your PC from this stick instead of from your harddisk.
[13:02] <mathi> dr_willis, I am new to Linux, I am Windows user
[13:02] <dr_willis>  that example you gave is implying you have the actual ISO file on the usb. not a live cd setup on the flash
[13:02] <HiddenCloud> join the club
[13:02] <mathi> LigH, this works already, but unfortnately the Ubuntu Server Instalation gives error that it tries to mount from CD-ROM
[13:02] <dr_willis> mathi:  wny not start from the beginning and tell the channel what you are trying to do.
[13:02] <mathi> http://askubuntu.com/questions/56174/install-ubuntu-10-10-server-from-usb-with-grub4dos
[13:02] <mathi> dr_willis, sorry
[13:03] <dr_willis> 10.10 ? why are you using 10.10? its over 2 yrs old
[13:03] <dr_willis> !10.10
[13:03] <dr_willis> and its EOL.
[13:03] <mathi> dr_willis, can you tell me what I should do ? I've been busy with it since morning :(
[13:03] <mathi> dr_willis, I use 12.10
[13:03] <dr_willis> server installs have some known issues when put on a USB. theres some fixs out there.. but ive never really needed them
[13:03] <mathi> but the tutorial is about 10.10
[13:04] <dr_willis> mathi:  WHY are you using a server install?
[13:04] <dr_willis> that 10.10 guide may be totally wrong for 12.10
[13:04] <mathi> dr_willis, because I don't need an interface
[13:04] <dr_willis> you can turn off the desktop on a desktop install.
[13:04] <mathi> dr_willis, I want to use this computer as a server, so it makes sense to isntall Ubuntu Server ?
[13:05] <Ben64> mathi: if you already have ubuntu on there, why not keep it and install whatever server stuff you want?
[13:05] <dr_willis> mathi:  I use desktop installs for all my server needs..
[13:05] <dr_willis> but im just a home user.
[13:06] <dr_willis> and Yes you MAY need a interface ---> mathi    | dr_willis, I am new to Linux, I am Windows user
[13:06] <Ben64> my server has ubuntu server on it, but its a real server many many miles from me
[13:06] <dr_willis> mathi:  so why are you not just booting the 12.10 USB you made?
[13:07] <mvt007geek> arae
[13:08] <mathi> dr_willis, I booted on the USB, and that worked great, had to choose the langauge, timezone, ... but THEN it tries to "detect and mount CD-ROM" and I want to put the Ubuntu Server image from my USB on /cdrom (or something like that) and there I fail
[13:08] <LigH> It may depend on the definition of the term "server"... ;) -- Is it "a PC you never log into", or simply "a PC which runs all the daemons (services) I need to access what I want"?
[13:08] <dr_willis> mathi:  thats a known error thats fixable...
[13:08] <mathi> Ben64, I don't have Ubuntu there, I have no OS
[13:08] <mathi> dr_willis, how ?
[13:08] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
[13:08] <dr_willis> that guide mentions how to fix it.
[13:09] <dr_willis> I thought it had been fixed in 12.10 - but some usb tools stillmake the mistakes i guess
[13:09] <dr_willis> some tools at the pendrivelinux site may make the USB properly.
[13:10] <dr_willis> Inever use the server install. so cant really suggest any tools
[13:10] <Bizzeh> hi, ive been using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto to set up a diskless booting system within my office, but i cant seem to be able to get the client machines to find or use the graphics hardware/drivers, can anyone give me a pointer as to what i would need to do
[13:11] <PatrickDickey> Question for everyone. Is it possible that kernel panics due to bad memory won't show up until you reinstall with the bad memory in the computer? I upgraded my memory without any kernel panics, but after I did a clean install, I started getting them.
[13:12] <Bizzeh> PatrickDickey: they will show under high ram load. run memtest
[13:12] <dr_willis> PatrickDickey:  try the memtest tool. and perhaps clean/reseat the ram
[13:12] <PatrickDickey> I did. It had well over 10,000 errors.
[13:12] <dr_willis> ive had memory slots go bad befor also
[13:12] <mathi> dr_willis, I will try, need some minutes
[13:12] <dr_willis> thats not a good sign.
[13:13] <PatrickDickey> Yeah. Brand new memory too. :S
[13:13] <dr_willis> mathi:  if you are totally new to Linux/Ubuntu - i suggest using the desktop install so you can get comfortable with it
[13:13] <folorn> dont suppose anyone has time to help me with a small problem- "im trying to download skype for ubuntu newest release but dont know how to go about doing it.
[13:13] <Bizzeh> PatrickDickey: is it a cheapo brand or unbranded like kingston? i have had 1 in 3 sticks i have bought that are cheap, not work. never had a single corsair stick not work
[13:13] <Ben64> PatrickDickey: you should check/fix ram timing in the bios
[13:14] <aguitel> how install libreoffice in 10.04 ?
[13:14] <PatrickDickey> Crucial Ballistix Memory.
[13:14] <Bizzeh> hmmn, try what ben64 said, if that doesnt work, i would send it back for a replacement, could be bad sticks
[13:14] <PatrickDickey> ben64 I'll have to figure out how to do that. I didn't see anything in BIOS that looked like it.
[13:14] <dr_willis> !skype
[13:15] <Ben64> i have a couple sticks that gave incorrect info, and caused memory errors
[13:15] <Bizzeh> PatrickDickey: there should be a "load optimised defaults" or something like that, try that, and set your bios back up as you like it
[13:15] <PatrickDickey> I checked crucial's site, and the memory I have is "guaranteed compatible" with my board.
[13:15] <Ben64> should be able to set timings manually
[13:16] <Bizzeh> Ben64: but if he doesnt know what timings to set, or even what timings are...
[13:16] <aguitel> how install libreoffice in 10.04 ? i am add ppa but it say :Package libreoffice has no installation candidate
[13:16] <Ben64> they're listed on the ram, or in the documentation of them, or online about them
[13:16] <Ben64> aguitel: upgrade to 12.04

[13:21] <onborad> udev[100] '/sbin/modprobe-bv acpi:LNXVIDEO:'[163] terminated by signal 9 (kill)
[13:21] <onborad> anyone
[13:21] <mathi_> dr_willis, thanks bro!! it works with that fix!
[13:22] <dr_willis> mathi_:  expect to spend some time learning bash and ssh.
[13:22] <dr_willis> mathi_:  and learn about screen and mc ;)
[13:23] <mathi_> dr_willis, the installation steps ask me a "hostname", can I specify any name ?
[13:23] <dr_willis> mathi_:  yes. the name of your pc.
[13:23] <dr_willis> and dont put spaces or fancy stuff in it.. and keep it short. ;)
[13:24] <LigH> @all: Do you have an 'usbdevfs' entry in your /etc/fstab ?
[13:24] <LigH> I mean all of you.
[13:25] <dr_willis> grep usbdevfs /etc/fstab
[13:25] <dr_willis> nope...
[13:25] <dr_willis> you may want to tell us why you are asking this..
[13:26] <LigH> dr_willis: I wonder if I can get usbview running under 12.04
[13:27] <LigH> So I may have to activate usbdevfs
[13:27] <dr_willis> never heard of usbview
[13:27] <PatrickDickey> bbs hopefully. I'm going to try and set my BIOS.
[13:27] <LigH> It is a GTK window to display USB devices. A graphical alternative to lsusb.
[13:28] <dr_willis> i tend to use hwinfo ;)
[13:28] <LigH> http://www.kroah.com/linux/usb/
[13:28] <LigH> Based on Kernel 2.x; may be deprecated, indeed.
[13:29] <dr_willis> ;) Not looking  good

[13:35] <mathi_> what is the best way to do remote control from windows to ubuntu server (without gui) ?
[13:35] <Ben64> mathi_: putty
[13:35] <mathi_> Ben64, and from linux to linux ?
[13:35] <speakman> Hi folks! Since the 12.10 update my Ubuntu has been acting weird. From login in, graphics is going slower and slower. After a few hours, resizing a terminal window takes a few seconds! I'm on an Nvidia GT218 GPU and Xeon W3680 CPU (16GB DDR RAM). What is happening??
[13:36] <speakman> Just changing focus from window to window takes right now about one second. I've tried all available Nvidia drivers, but no differencies.
[13:37] <patrickdickey> Well, we'll see if that worked. I didn't have to make any changes, but I set everything to manual in BIOS. It was already at 800M and 5T for latency.  Is there anything like CPU-Z that works on Ubuntu?
[13:37] <Ben64> mathi_: ssh
[13:38] <mistere> hello friends
[13:38] <kaihit> hi mistere
[13:38] <mistere> 12.04 has error message show after a few time
[13:38] <mistere> what's the problem with 12.04?
[13:39] <lhavelund> mistere: You're going to have to be more specific than that.
[13:39] <kaihit> sometimes it happens to me too
[13:39] <Ben64> speakman: could you pastebin "lspci; lsmod; glxinfo | grep -i direct"
[13:40] <mistere> lhavelund, my lapy supported this version of ubuntu
[13:41] <speakman> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1555476/
[13:41] <Ben64> patrickdickey: 800M?
[13:41] <folorn> hmm i followed this guide for installing skype from unbuntu webpage but still having problems anyone got alittle time to help?

[13:43] <Ben64> speakman: all that looks fine. have you tried 2d unity or a different desktop than unity 3d?
[13:43] <speakman> Ben64: unity 2d isn't any more afaik
[13:43] <Ben64> oh :|

[13:45] <omabena> I'm having problems installing skype on Ubuntu 12.10, tried to add repositories, but there is a package skype-bin that it's not found, when I try to install that packages there are plenty of unresolved dependencies
[13:45] <speakman> Ben64: I was actually using Unity 2D panel with Xmonad until 12.10. Back then I didn't have any accelerated environment, but since 12.10 I had to leave Xmonad to still be using the Ubuntu panel, which I really like (network and sound handling etc)
[13:45] <omabena> Not sure why is not trying to resolve the dependency but well I'm stick there ...
[13:46] <dysoco> Hello, I'm running Ubuntu in VMWare and I've installed "open-vm-tools" and rebooted the VM: However I can't get it to work: Do I need to do anything else?
[13:46] <Russian> My problem is that I have an Acer widescreen monitor, my resolution is stuck at 1024x768. I have tried randr, bumblebee, nvidia drivers, none of those help to change my resolution. my screen is stuck at stretched
[13:46] <ouyes> Russian, what is your problem exactly?
[13:47] <ouyes> Russian, 12.10 ubuntu?
[13:47] <speakman> Ben64: Are there any way to remove Compiz but still having the Ubuntu settings (like fonts and so on) and even the Network and Sound panel stuff?
[13:47] <Russian> I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 with GNOME
[13:47] <speakman> I would move back to Xmonad any day if I could just fix those issues.
[13:47] <ioria> Russian: video card ?
[13:47] <Ben64> I'm not sure
[13:48] <Russian> GeForce 6200 SE TC
[13:48] <Ben64> Russian: why did you try bumblebee?
[13:48] <Russian> it was one of the things suggested
[13:48] <mistere> any one know about XEN packages for ubuntu?
[13:48] <mathi_> how do I install apt ?
[13:48] <Russian> I've looked all over the net to find a solution
[13:48] <Ben64> Russian: thats if you have dual gpu, usually on a laptop
[13:48] <fas> mathi_: wut?
[13:48] <Ben64> mathi_: apt-get is already installed
[13:49] <Russian> I'm using an Pavillion Desktop
[13:49] <mathi_> Ben64, no it couldn't install during installation
[13:49] <fas> mistere: what do you mean? What do you want to know?
[13:49] <speakman> mathi_: what?
[13:49] <fas> mathi_: then reinstall
[13:49] <Russian> m7360n
[13:49] <mathi_> it couldn't connect to the mirror to install apt
[13:49] <Ben64> Russian: get rid of any bumblebee stuff, any nvidia stuff and put nvidia driver (173) back on
[13:49] <mathi_> reinstalling won't solve
[13:49] <Russian> its an older Hp Pavillion desktop
[13:49] <fidel> mathi_: are you really sure your system has 'apt' not installed?
[13:49] <mathi_> fidel, apt: command not found
[13:50] <Ben64> apt-get
[13:50] <fas> mathi_: what's it saying when it gives you that error?
[13:50] <BluesKaj> Russian, have your tried nvidia-current driver ?
[13:50] <fas> yeah, apt-get
[13:50] <fidel> mathi_: apt-cache policy apt-get
[13:50] <Russian> yes and it screws with the whole system
[13:50] <mathi_> apt-get works
[13:50] <speakman> mathi_: I guess APT couldn't connect to the mirror. Try another mirror.
[13:50] <Ben64> nvidia-current doesn't work on a 6200
[13:50] <Ben64> he needs an older version
[13:50] <Russian> i've tried purging and nvidia-current
[13:50] <mathi_> what is the difference apt and apt-get ?
[13:50] <Ben64> nvidia-173 - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
[13:50] <Ben64> mathi_: apt doesn't exist
[13:51] <Russian> my system for what ever reason doesn't play well with nvidia
[13:51] <fidel> mathi_: what is the output of: which apt-get
[13:51]  * BluesKaj nvidia-current supports the 6series
[13:51] <mistere> fas: i need the full xen for virtultion systm
[13:51] <speakman> Ben64: Should I try nvidia-173 on my GeForce 210?
[13:51] <Russian> tweak tool doesn't help either
[13:51] <BluesKaj> but obviously that's not the case
[13:51] <Ben64> speakman: no, yours is newer
[13:52] <hkn_> What is the best text editor for Ubuntu. For C++ JAVA PHP etc etc ?
[13:52] <ioria> Russian: i think you have to rebuild the drivers
[13:52] <fidel> hkn_: there is in general no best
[13:52] <Russian> nvidia-current for some reason makes my system buggy, as well as when I reboot, it shows ubuntuGNOME in a blue screen before a full boot
[13:52] <fidel> !poll hkn_
[13:52] <tempspace> hkn_, that's very subjective...I prefer Sublime Text 2
[13:52] <BluesKaj> Russian, have you consulted the nvidia site for driver match ?
[13:52] <fidel> !poll > hkn_
[13:52] <jjrtown> hi
[13:53] <Russian> I have and there was a download and I have tried it with the same results as before
[13:53] <speakman> Ben64: ok - what can I do to keep most Ubuntu look but remove Compiz?
[13:53] <hkn_> fidel dont get it lol
[13:53] <Ben64> speakman: dunno if 12.10 has it, but gnome-fallback mode
[13:53] <BluesKaj> !who | Russian
[13:53] <Russian> I've been up for the last 19 hours trying to find a solution
[13:53] <Russian> sorry new to this...
[13:54] <Ben64> Russian: well you need nvidia drivers, apparently i was wrong, nvidia-current does work
[13:54] <Russian> !ubottu!BluesKaj
[13:54] <Ben64> Russian: and you can use nvidia-settings to change resolution
[13:54] <aleale97> Hi all
[13:54] <fidel> hkn_: asking for best is usualy a bad idea.
[13:54] <Helsinkiii> HELLO! can anyone hazard a guess as to why my kernel panicks at any random point during a torrent download?
[13:54] <speakman> Ben64: I'll give Gnome 3 a chance and see what happens. BBL!

[14:10] <Ben64> hkn_: what editor
[14:11] <ioria> Russian: go- not  do - to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[14:11] <fas> hkn_: I assume you just downloaded it then... you didn't 'install' it
[14:11] <Ben64> Russian: open a terminal, type "glxinfo | grep OpenGL | pastebinit"
[14:11] <Russian> I have to make a new account
[14:11] <haeihaeihaei> hkn_: Then you can use the "Use custom command" window.
[14:11] <hkn_> Ben64, that what you told Sumblime TExt 2
[14:11] <ioria> Russian: do as Ben64 says
[14:12] <Ben64> hkn_: what?

[14:12] <fas> mathi_: sorry, I have no clue, did you google that message?
[14:12] <Russian> its says  OpenGL extensions:
[14:12] <hkn_> Ben64,  that's the editor Sublime TExt 2
[14:12] <haeihaeihaei> hkn_: What editor are you trying to use ?
[14:12] <Ben64> Russian: i don't think you typed that in correctly
[14:12] <fas> hkn_: there's probably an option that says "Use other command" right?
[14:12] <Ben64> fas: not anymore
[14:12] <ioria> Russian: you have to give us an url
[14:13] <Ben64> hkn_: how did you install it

[14:13] <Ben64> hkn_: fas: well obviously that isn't going to work
[14:14] <Ben64> and is definitely not supported in #ubuntu
[14:14] <fas> hkn_: you'll need to add it to your path most likely
[14:14] <Ben64> that won't do it
[14:14] <Russian> does that help any?
[14:15] <ioria> Russian Ben64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1555542/

[14:17] <haeihaeihaei> Hello bentinata
[14:18] <Russian> Ben64: should I run that code
[14:18] <Touhou11> I'd be cautious using Sublime Text - it's not Open Source like most editors, suggest monitoring it with Wireshark if you intend to use it
[14:18] <Ben64> !backtrack | bentinata
[14:18] <Ben64> Russian: yes, make sure you have it correct
[14:18] <mathi_> fas, I removed the CD-ROM from sources.list file in apt folder (as an article on the internet suggested). Now the following error is: Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. Package "openssh-server" has no installation candidate
[14:18] <ioria> Russian : good luck --- dasvidania :)
[14:18] <bentinata> Ben64, did you have a good channel to discuss about BT?
[14:18] <Russian> ioria:Ben64 okay I will
[14:19] <hkn_> fas, nope get this error mv: can 'Sublime Text 2' not move '/ opt / Sublime Text 2': Folder is not empty
[14:19] <fas> what's your command?
[14:19] <Russian> Ben64: uname -r unknown
[14:20] <Ontherocks> hello
[14:20] <Ben64> Russian: you didn't type it correctly
[14:20] <mathi_> fas, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:20] <Kaller> nicer chan

[14:20] <fas> mathi_: sudo apt-get update?
[14:20] <Ben64> Ontherocks: we don't support that here
[14:20] <hkn_> fas,  sudo mv Sublime\ Text\ 2 /opt/
[14:20] <haeihaeihaei> Kaller: English is prefered in this channel :)

[14:21] <Russian> Ben64: should I copy the whole thing including af ter the split?
[14:21] <amr_> i can't connect my samsung galaxy to ubuntu in debugging mode to use with eclipse
[14:21] <mathi_> fas, I did sudo apt-get update, it is done.  It's working great but every other time I have installed Ubuntu what I chose for a computer name shows up user@computername. Instead I am seeing user@Ubuntu. Of course it says unable to resolve hostname when you sudo. etc/hosts says <IP_ADDRESS> hostname
[14:22] <fas> mathi_: that's is very odd
[14:22] <Ben64> Russian: now do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-common nvidia-settings; sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms"
[14:22] <Ontherocks> when i go to synaptic package manager to download and install firefox i get this message: w: failed to fetch http://...
[14:22] <BluesKaj> fas, language pls , no need for the "ff" word here
[14:22] <Ben64> mathi_: are you even booted into your installed version? you know you need to reboot after you install
[14:22] <Russian> Ben64: installing
[14:22] <Ben64> Ontherocks: we still don't support your os here, sorry
[14:22] <mathi_> Ben64, I think I booted on my hard drive ... how to check ?
[14:23] <fas> BluesKaj: sorry
[14:23] <mathi_> I restarted after installing
[14:23] <Ontherocks> but wattos is based on ubuntu
[14:23] <fas> mathi_: hkn_ g2g, sorry I can't help further.
[14:23] <Ben64> mathi_: pastebin the output of "mount"
[14:23] <Ben64> Ontherocks: many things are based on ubuntu, we just cannot support them here
[14:24] <Touhou11> Ontherocks: You wouldn't go into the Debian room and ask for Ubuntu help just because Ubuntu is based on Debian, they'd tell you where to get off
[14:24] <alami> hello, i have a problem with my graphic card http://pastebin.com/QkgDYnqb
[14:24] <Space_Man2> whay isn't maverick mentioned here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ? I can see lucid and natty but maverick is missing
[14:25] <Ontherocks> where should i go?
[14:25] <Ben64> !maverick | Space_Man2
[14:25] <Guest78516> hello can somebody help
[14:25] <Ontherocks> i thought that this problem could happen on ubuntu too
[14:25] <Russian> Ben64: It finished install
[14:25] <Touhou11> Space_Man2: Maverick wasn't an LTS release so isn't supported now
[14:25] <ikonia> Ontherocks: please stop asking - we don't support it here
[14:26] <Guest78516> where to go then
[14:26] <Ben64> Russian: now you should be able to reboot and have nvidia drivers working
[14:26] <ikonia> Guest78516: what's the problem ?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> alami, which graphics card?
[14:26] <omabena> hello I'm having a really hard time installing skype, would anyone give me a hand on this?
[14:26] <Space_Man2> thanks Ben64 and Touhou11, I guess I should updtae to someting a bit newer :P
[14:26] <Russian> Ben64: my problems arise after rebooting every time lol
[14:26] <Touhou11> Ontherocks: This is why you shouldn't use an obscure distribution unless your competent enough to fix problems yourself
[14:26] <Guest78516> i want to get to ubuntu lucid but now i have ubuntu  11
[14:27] <Russian> we shall see
[14:27] <ikonia> !lucid | Guest78516
[14:27] <Guest78516> is that possible to get it without deleting everything
[14:27] <Ben64> you want to go backwards?
[14:27] <alami> BluesKaj:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 7400 Series]
[14:27] <Russian> Ben64: thank you for the help. Much appreciated
[14:28] <fidel> Guest78516: you have 11.xy - lucid was 10.04. Sure you arent looking for 12.04 or 12.10?
[14:28] <Guest78516> so i have to format again??
[14:28] <fidel> Guest78516: no you can upgrade from 11.xx to 12.xx
[14:28] <ikonia> Guest78516: you cannot downgrade though
[14:28] <alami> BluesKaj: i have ubuntu 12.10
[14:28] <fidel> you just should start be checking what version you really have ;)
[14:29] <Guest78516> no i i want lucid  its better than this thing
[14:29] <Guest78516> my machine is not stable here
[14:29] <fidel> Guest78516: see ikonias comment then
[14:29] <ikonia> Guest78516: ok, you'll need to re-install then, using lucid
[14:29] <Ben64> Guest78516: try 12.04. support for 10.04 ends in a couple months
[14:29] <BluesKaj> Ben64, thanks for helping Russian , my znc bouncer dropped my connection while we were trying to determine his driver , so i missed his pastebin url
[14:30] <Ben64> BluesKaj: yeah, hopefully it works
[14:30] <alami> BluesKaj:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Caicos [Radeon HD 7400 Series]
[14:30] <p1l0t> I just wiped Win7 and installed Ubuntu on a new 8-core Acer. It's working great but every other time I have installed Ubuntu what I chose for a computer name shows up user@computername. Instead I am seeing user@Ubuntu. Of course it says unable to resolve hostname when you sudo. etc/hosts says <IP_ADDRESS> hostname
[14:30] <ikonia> BluesKaj: 10.04 is around for 5 years
[14:30] <Ben64> BluesKaj: if everything went to plan, he got his linux headers, and the nvidia driver built correctly
[14:30] <ikonia> p1l0t: are you sure you are not booting from remote media
[14:30] <Guest78516> its sad ..thx again for you help
[14:30] <BluesKaj> Ben64, right
[14:31] <adamk> alami: Did you run 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose matlab' like the error says?
[14:31] <alami> can any one help me to fix my graphic card Problem?
[14:31] <iceroot> ikonia: 10.04 has 3 years support (desktop) and 5 years (server). 12.04 was the first release with 5 years for the desktop
[14:31] <p1l0t> ikonia This is installed on the harddrive but I did do a wubi instead of wiping the whole harddrive like I usually do
[14:31] <ikonia> p1l0t: why would you do wubi if you've removed windows 7 ?
[14:31] <ikonia> iceroot: ah, thank you
[14:32] <BluesKaj> alami, have you tried the "additional drivers" yet
[14:32] <Guest78516> im going to wubi lucid then
[14:32] <iceroot> ikonia: as always, you are welcome .)
[14:32] <Guest78516> bye
[14:32] <alami> http://pastebin.com/MT9cvXcr
[14:32] <p1l0t> ikonia: Actually I lied I think it's a dual-boot I usually just wipe it is what I meant
[14:32] <iKrzysiek> hello
[14:32] <mathi_> Ben64, I typed it all on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JJvznp1T
[14:32] <alami> adamk:adamk
[14:32] <alami> adamk:http://pastebin.com/MT9cvXcr
[14:33] <p1l0t> ikonia: I don't use the windows for anything I should probably just wipe it but no I have been using this for a few months
[14:33] <iKrzysiek> someone know lirc?
[14:33] <iKrzysiek> I cant find /etc/init/eventlicd.conf
[14:33] <alami> i try to instal now additional drivers and i will see if that work
[14:36] <mathi_> Ben64, any idea?
[14:38] <p1l0t> ikonia: If I wipe the harddrive and do a fresh install will that solve the problem though? Or is that extreme for something that should be a simple fix? My etc/hosts file says <IP_ADDRESS> hostname I don't know why it says user@ubuntu
[14:40] <ikonia> p1l0t: I have no idea, as I don't know your wubi setup, but a clean install will not be a problem as you describe
[14:41] <p1l0t> ikonia: OK I will just wipe it and reinstall then I don't need microsht anyway on here
[14:41] <ikonia> p1l0t: there is no need for that language or name calling
[14:41] <ikonia> p1l0t: it makes you look foolish rather than "cool"
[14:41] <p1l0t> microsoft I meant
[14:41] <p1l0t> typo
[14:41] <ikonia> no it wasn't
[14:41] <alami> thanks it work now
[14:42] <FlowRiser> ikonia, i always mispell micro$$oft
[14:42] <ikonia> please stop FlowRiser
[14:42] <ikonia> there is no need for it, the company is called microsoft.
[14:42] <FlowRiser> ikonia, i know, i'm just messing with you :P
[14:45] <abdul> how do i log in as root in ubuntu
[14:45] <p1l0t> Shouldn't Microsoft also have a capital M as it is a proper noun? ;)
[14:45] <abdul> or does it have a default passwd
[14:45] <usr13> I think what these guys are saying is that this channel is not for slandering or making fun of anyone or any company, it is for Ubuntu support. p1l0t Yes, you are correct.
[14:45] <Guest46108> i did su - and it requested for password which i did provide but it said authentication failed
[14:45] <Guest46108> help
[14:46] <mpajor_op5> Guest46108: login as your user you created during the installation and then type su root and your passwod to your account
[14:46] <iceroot> !sudo | Guest46108
[14:46] <p1l0t> It was immature of me, I'm only thirty but I act like I'm 12 sometimes
[14:46] <soahccc> Is it possible to change the directory when using "su someuser -lm"? When omitting -m it will change to someuser's $HOME of coure. When passing it via -c it doesn't stay su'ed
[14:46] <usr13> Guest46108: Try sudo
[14:46] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: please dont suggest that here
[14:46] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: also its wrong what you are saying
[14:46] <mpajor_op5> sudo su root then, fine, you got me!
[14:47] <iceroot> Guest46108: su - is asking for the root-password, but there is no root-account enabled by default on ubuntu. on ubuntu we are using sudo instead of a root shell
[14:47] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: even more stupid
[14:47] <usr13> Guest46108: It's best to operate Ubuntu as it is.  If you open up the root account, you are asking for touble.
[14:48] <soahccc> mpajor_op5: If you want to do this you should use "sudo -i" I think. But you don't want to in most cases I think.
[14:48] <mpajor_op5> thanks but my way works for me
[14:48] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: and its still stupid and will set the env wrong
[14:49] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: sudo su is always the wrong way
[14:49] <mpajor_op5> sure is iceroot, thanks for the heads up
[14:49] <usr13> mpajor_op5: It is just as easy to use Ubuntu as you are supposed to do and you will avoid problems as well.
[14:49] <FlowRiser> usr13, i agree
[14:50] <mpajor_op5> I have no problems doing the way I do it hehe
[14:50] <usr13> mpajor_op5: Just FYI...
[14:50] <FlowRiser> mpajor_op5, i sometimes do that too  :P i get bored of typing sudo every line
[14:50] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: you can do what you want with your system but dont suggest something like that here please
[14:51] <soahccc> Btw: Is this channel about ubuntu in general or either desktop or server version? There is no topic afais (as far as I can see, isn't a legit internet contraction I suppose)
[14:51] <iceroot> use sudo -i, sudo bash -l or something like that but not sudo su
[14:51] <haeihaeihaei> soahccc: I believe it is used for both editions.
[14:52] <mpajor_op5> FlowRiser: honestly I never logon as root, I very rarely do so, but when I really do (and it has been a while ago) I always use sudo su :-)
[14:52] <soahccc> FlowRiser: Nevertheless you should prefer "sudo -i" over "sudo su".
[14:53] <haeihaeihaei> Or you can just use NOPASSWD in the sudo file :) As secure as sudo su any day ;-)
[14:53] <iceroot> haeihaeihaei: sudo su has nothing to do with less secure then sudo -i
[14:54] <mpajor_op5> iceroot: fine, as you please. In respond to your request I'd kindly ask you to answer new user in a more simpler manner than forwarding them to a 2-page documentation that can be answered with a 5 letter wording :)
[14:54] <haeihaeihaei> Was trying to make I joke, apparently I failed :(
[14:54] <iceroot> and just for the info, sudo su is wrong because you are calling su as root, because sudo already gave you root access and that will result in a wrong environment
[14:54] <mpajor_op5> although, I do appreciate your cautioness with "root"-related questions. Being root is evil :)
[14:54] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: using sudo su is evil
[14:55] <iceroot> mpajor_op5: its wrong
[14:55] <Russian_> Ben64: you sill online?
[14:56] <mpajor_op5> I *get* it. I *very rarely* do it but when I "have to" I do it that way. Thank you for the wake-up-call, It's a damage I have from Debian, I never do that in centos/redhat though, don't ask me why :)
[14:56] <Russian_> Ben64: as your solution worked, but now after login, my system freezes after awhile or a few mouse clicks
[14:56] <voodootru> hi Guys, just wondering what the status of the Ubuntu phone thing is? Is there currently a way to install it on a phone with HDMI out and use it as a PC?
[14:57] <OerHeks> !ubuntu-phone
[14:57] <haeihaeihaei> voodootru: http://androidandme.com/2013/01/smartphones-2/first-ubuntu-phone-os-download-for-galaxy-nexus-to-be-available-in-february/
[14:57] <Russian_> Ben64: any solutions to that problem?
[14:57] <djzn> j #slackware
[14:57] <somsip> !phone | voodootru
[14:57] <djzn> sorry
[14:58] <Russian_> Ben64: also everything is now running slow and buggy
[14:58] <voodootru> thanks for the quick responses haeihaeihaei , somsip
[14:59] <Russian_> Has anyone here had any here had any problems with nvidia and a slow buggy response after the updates and reboot as well as the OS freezing?
[14:59] <Russian_> after nvidia update to current
[15:00] <Russian_> my resolution is fixed but now have slow and crappy response
[15:00] <Bino1710> does anyone know how i can change the log in screen in 12.04 , I'm running Pinguy OS?
[15:00] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows how those goo.gl emails bypass ubuntu's security on hotmail?
[15:01] <OerHeks> Russian_, what nvidia card do you have?  lspci | grep VGA
[15:01] <fidel> Bino1710: login screen depends in the first moment on the loginmanager. are you using lightdm or gdm or something else?
[15:02] <fidel> Bino1710: pinguy is most likely not supported inhere - as the channel is focusing on plain ubuntu
[15:02] <lotuspsychje> !pinguy
[15:02] <Russian_> OerHeks:NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200SE TurboCache (TM)] (rev a1)
[15:03] <Bino1710> i think i might be using gdm , not really sure. I know for a fact that its not lightdm though. how can I tell ?
[15:03] <soahccc> What is the recommended way of sudoing into another user? I tried "sudo -u www-data -i" which asks me for my password while having a NOPASSWD: ALL (weren't we talking about that recently? xD)
[15:03] <fidel> Bino1710: sudp dpkg-reconfigure gdm (should show you the currently selected option)
[15:03] <haeihaeihaei> soahccc: www-data usally is a system user.
[15:04] <fidel> and offer you the option to change it
[15:04] <lotuspsychje> !info sux soahccc
[15:04] <lotuspsychje> !info sux | soahccc
[15:04] <Bino1710> yeah , I know but i figured that since it was based on Ubuntu 12.04 then the process is probably not that different
[15:05] <soahccc> lotuspsychje: Does that apply when loggin in via key?
[15:06] <sahota> hi all
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> soahccc:i use it to sudo actions from another user: like sux username firefox
[15:06] <OerHeks> Russian_, i think you need the  legacy nvidia 173.14.X for that older card
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> soahccc: or sux username bash
[15:06] <soahccc> lotuspsychje: I actually want to stay as that user
[15:07] <lotuspsychje> soahccc:not sure on that1
[15:08] <soahccc> Well actually actually I want an alias to switch to www-data while keeping my env (aliases, psy) and, optimally changing into a specific directory
[15:09] <soahccc> I currently use    alias as_www='sudo su www-data -lm'
[15:09] <soahccc> but I wasn't able to initially switch to another directory
[15:12] <Russian_> Can someone help me with my system freezing after nvidia update
[15:14] <Russian_> I'm always a few clicks away from freezing
[15:14] <Russian_> i'm using a GeForce6200 SE TC card
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> Russian_:can you go back to nvidia-current driver
[15:14] <Russian_> lotuspsychie: how
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-current | Russian_
[15:16] <Russian_> I got a lot of random info
[15:17] <MrSmurfing> I have a clean install of 12.04.1 server. apt-get doesn't work. When I do apt-get update, I get several 404 errors, and when I do an apt-get install I get Package '' has no installation candidate. I even re-installed, but got the same problem again. Any ideas?
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> Russian_:did you check additional drivers maybe disable current driver?
[15:18] <abdul_> i did sudo root but it says authentication failed
[15:18] <abdul_> pls how can i log in as root
[15:18] <haeihaeihaei> MrSmurfing: What does your sources.list say? Can you ping google.com ?
[15:18] <lotuspsychje> !root | abdul_
[15:18] <abdul_> cos i have just one account which is the administrator
[15:19] <mastermi1d> heloo
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows how this goo.gl worm spreads on hotmail with ubuntu as Os?
[15:19] <abdul_> root | abdul_..........what does it mean
[15:20] <MrSmurfing> haeihaeihaei: http://pastebin.com/Ahw1LvwQ
[15:21] <MrSmurfing> haeihaeihaei: Yes, I can ping google, Internet access is good.
[15:21] <kunji> Hey everyone... what is every possible thing that could blank my screen on a standard 12.10 install?  The issue is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12466246#post12466246  I can' t figure it out and it's driving me crazy.
[15:22] <kunji> Also does turning off the screen saver via "xset s off" survive a reboot?
[15:22] <jrib> kunji: pastebin output of « xset q »
[15:22] <jrib> kunji: no
[15:22] <haeihaeihaei> MrSmurfing: Ok, almost sounded like a DNS error.
[15:22] <kunji> jrib: Ah if that doesn't survive a reboot, it could be the problem
[15:23] <kunji> jrib: Yeah it says prefer blanking: yes and timeout is 600, so... do you know how I set turn that off persistently?
[15:23] <jrib> kunji: I would be surprised if that isn't exposed in the gui somewhere, though don't ask me where
[15:23] <MrSmurfing> haeihaeihaei: I also tried using googles DNS <IP_ADDRESS> - sources.list is original untouched from install.
[15:24] <jrib> kunji: if you don't want to find it in the gui, put it in startup applications (or ~/.xprofile or ~/.xsessionrc)
[15:24] <mutes> how would i go about adding things to install during the automated ubuntu installation?
[15:24] <kunji> jrib: Many people seem to have trouble finding it in the GUI, I don't believe it's there, screen saver settings have not been there for at least 2 releases
[15:24] <haeihaeihaei> MrSmurfing: And is this error during apt-get update or upgrade?
[15:25] <MrSmurfing> haeihaeihaei: apt-get update. apt-get upgrade doesn't give any errors, but also does 0 updates.
[15:25] <MrSmurfing> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[15:26] <haeihaeihaei> MrSmurfing: Try and make a new sources.list here: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[15:27] <MrSmurfing> haeihaeihaei: I'll give that a shot, thanks
[15:27] <jrib> MrSmurfing: what does your apt-get update output actually look like?
[15:28] <haeihaeihaei> MrSmurfing: Btw, what version are you running ?

[15:32] <jrib> MrSmurfing: ok
[15:32] <MrSmurfing> it grabbed a HTML page saying access restricted. Thanks for everyone's help.

[15:34] <jrib> wynn: no, you've probably enabled a repository without adding its key

[15:37] <jorin91> Hello i hope someone can help me. ive got a desktop pc with ubuntu studio 12.04, after some updates my internet doesnt work anymore, nof calbe and no wifi. My intergrated network card is installed properly and also my wifi adapter. Beside that there is a connection between router and pc, i can see that on the lights of my router. The weird thing is, at connecting it stays looping to connect, with wifi it also asks me the password ag

[15:38] <haeihaeihaei> jorin91: Youre sure it's the right password for the wifi ?
[15:39] <wynn> jrib: I have the following repos: main, universe, restricted, multiverse (is this useful?), and Independent (Other software tab... is this useful?)
[15:39] <jorin91> yes my laptop connects the same point and same pass, it has windows 8. my desktop has no dual boot. besides the pass of wifi its still weird that cable also doesnt work. it has worked before
[15:39] <wynn> jrib: I have 3 keys, all from ubuntu
[15:39] <jrib> wynn: what do you mean by "useful"?
[15:39] <MrSmurfing> apt-get is now working! :)
[15:40] <haeihaeihaei> Nice =)
[15:40] <wynn> jrib: would most people install it, would I lose any mainstream software if I don't keep the repo... I can always add it.
[15:40] <jorin91> haeihaeihaei: yes my laptop connects the same point and same pass, it has windows 8. my desktop has no dual boot. besides the pass of wifi its still weird that cable also doesnt work. it has worked before
[15:41] <jrib> wynn: I don't know what this "independent" repo is.  Is it just a category that lists the third-party repositories you've installed? Most people only *need* the official ones: main restricted universe multiverse
[15:41] <wynn> jrib: ok. thx

[15:53] <jrib> wynn: weird, but the keys generally reside in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg* though
[15:53] <XtremeWiz> XtremeWiz: I just use a USB reader for reading the card and I can't even copy the files to the card. I mean, they don't stay there.  Right?
[15:54] <wynn> jrib: I'm on a tablet that has no CD rom, is there a way to reinstall 12.04 besides creating a usb stick?
[15:54] <jhutchins> XtremeWiz: It sounds like it's not unmounting properly.  The files are actually buffered in RAM before being commited to disk.
[15:54] <jrib> wynn: you shouldn't need to reinstall
[15:55] <jrib> wynn: apt-key didn't output anything else?  Just that error?

[15:57] <e-dard> Hi. I need to install a certain version of a package on 11.10. But the package version only comes on 12.04. What are my options using the ubuntu package management system?

[15:57] <randimiller> morning all
[15:57] <mathi> jrib, strange ... and also, list.source in apt was empty, I couldn't install any application, I had to add all the server http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal.... etcetera
[15:57] <kunji> jrib: I don't have either of those files (~/.xprofile or ~/.xsessionrc), should I just create the file then?  And if so, which one is preferred?
[15:57] <jrib> e-dard: backports, ppa, rebuild the source package yourself (making sure the dependencies are satisfied on 11.10), upgrade to 12.04.  Why not upgrade to 12.04?
[15:58] <henk_> ubottu: Already
[15:58] <jrib> kunji: you can just create it.  I don't know which is preferred
[15:58] <mathi> jrib, during installation there was a problem when installing APT, it was "scanning mirror" and always leaving at this stage, seems like the mirror site was not accessible ... so i didn't have apt fully installed and all basic applciations I didn't have :(
[15:58] <sirriffsalot> Hey guys. I have no empty discs and usb-sticks don't work in order to install ubuntu.. I have two hard-disks however.. Is it possible to make a small partition in one of them, and make it bootable, so I can use that to install ubuntu on the other hard-disk? I can connect both at the same time
[15:58] <jrib> mathi: I see
[15:59] <mathi> jrib, I guess I will have more pronblems in the future .... what do you suggest me to do ?
[15:59] <jrib> mathi: do a successful install
[15:59] <mathi> jrib, but it's a ubuntu server problem it seems ... I had the internet, I checked by pinging some websites
[16:00] <e-dard> jrib: to be frank.  But now it doesn't load at the start screen.
[16:01] <wynn> jrib: OK. I created the .gnupg dir and it created the keyring. It is updating without the message now. Thanks!
[16:01] <cave2596> Does anyone know this problem?
[16:01] <jrib> e-dard: well 11.10 will lose support in april anyway, so I would just plan and do the upgrade to 12.04
[16:02] <e-dard> jrib: yeah I guess. I will try and use back ports for now
[16:02] <jrib> wynn: ok, cool.  Weird that it did that
[16:02] <e-dard> jrib: thanks!
[16:02] <wynn> jrib: I think I installed 12.04  on this machine when it was still beta...

[16:30] <ikonia> looks like a problem with grub config
[16:30] <ikonia> it wants an option that's not htere
[16:30] <ikonia> irong33k: no
[16:30] <ikonia> irong33k: that appears to have dissapeared of the buzz marketing roadmap now that ubuntu phone is on the website....with just as little information
[16:31] <Adlez> I opened Alsamixer but seems ok
[16:31] <ikonia> "s/of/off"
[16:31] <MadEchidna> so what do you think I should do ikonia
[16:31] <irong33k> ikonia: i was wondering when they are going to release ,..thanks for the info..
[16:31] <ikonia> MadEchidna: it maybe worth trying to run /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig see if it errors in general
[16:31] <Adlez> Cannot get the internal microphone of an Acer aspire one to work on skype
[16:32] <MadEchidna> /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 13: /etc/default/grub: allow-discards root_trim=yes: not found
[16:32] <kunji> jrib: Hmm, .xprofile makes that setting persist, didn't sit and wait to see if it fixes the problem yet though, but it probably will.  Do you know where I could put that to apply to all users instead of just that user account?
[16:32] <ikonia> irong33k: the marketing focus appears to have dissapeared from that product 11 days after it was announced.
[16:32] <MadEchidna> oh I think I know what it might be
[16:32] <ikonia> MadEchidna: ok, so that appears to be the issue

[16:35] <MadEchidna> thanks!
[16:35] <ikonia> well done
[16:37] <Guest84203> bye
[16:37] <jrib> kunji: one way is for you to use the equivalent of a system-wide .xsessionrc which you can take to be /etc/X11/Xsession.options I believe.  You could also create a file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d (grep -i xsession /etc/X11/Xsession for details).  The "best" way, I don't know.  I don't know if there is a system-wide .xprofile-like file.  You could probably also do what you want in xorg.conf
[16:37] <Pumpkin-> nyuszika7h: you can, but I'm not 100% sure how. I think you need to investigate "gtk-alternative-button-order", but I'm not 100% sure where you apply it. Have a google.
[16:38] <nyuszika7h> ok, thanks
[16:39] <kunji> jrib: In some older gnome documentation it says that if first looks at /etc/profile then ~/xprofile and finally at ~/.xprofile might that be it?  There is a /etc/profile on my system, looks like some sort of bash script, there is also a /etc/profile.d folder.
[16:39] <kunji> *it not if
[16:39] <jrib> kunji: oh apparently, /etc/xprofile gets sourced to in /usr/sbin/lightdm-session, so you can use that.  Again, I don't know what way is "best"
[16:39] <Taneb> How can I enable netwoorking and connect to wifi from the command line
[16:39] <Taneb> ?
[16:40] <jrib> kunji: you wouldn't want to put it in /etc/profile since that will be executed even when there's no X.  It would still work, you'd probably just get some error output if you logged in without using X
[16:41] <kunji> jrib: Ah, I see, thanks, I think I should be able to get this working now ^_^
[16:43] <AwAk3e> This morning I woke up to this error - "Reboot and Select proper boot device" on my ubuntu installation. I've checked to see that the BIOS detects the hard drive and it does, I also went through the installation process again and it detected the hard drive there, however when I use fdisk and having booted from a bootable disc, it can't find the drive. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[16:43] <juk> which pdf editor to use? (insert/update pages)
[16:43] <jrib> kunji: for an opinion, I would probably use xorg.conf or find the right xorg.conf.d/ directory that I could put a file under.  You'll have to then find the right syntax, but it will be an actual configuration file and not a place where you can just run commands.  That's my 2 cents anyway.  But any of the files I mentioned should end up working :P
[16:43] <e-dard> How do I enable back ports on a headless server?

[16:45] <jrib> e-dard: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:45] <jrib> !backports | e-dard

[16:51] <jrib> e-dard: yes
[16:51] <OerHeks> ncsquid22, i would use apt-on-cd
[16:51] <jrib> e-dard: what are you after anyway?
[16:51] <e-dard> jrib: freetds-bin > 0.9x
[16:52] <jrib> e-dard: ok
[16:52] <ncsquid22> Hi ubottu: It's a server install ... no GUI
[16:53] <e-dard> jrib: and tdsodbc of the same version. This sounds painful :-S
[16:53] <ncsquid22> OerHecks: I will check that out. Thank you!
[16:54] <nuxninja> ubottu: hi, are there any help files for this irc ....
[16:54] <jrib> e-dard: if I were in your shoes, I would prepare and upgrade to 12.04. But if you don't want to, then add the deb-src lines for 12.04 to your sources.list, apt-get source PACKAGE, attempt to satisfy package dependencies (apt-get build-dep PACKAGE), build package (dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot), remove deb-src lines from sources.list
