[08:33] <RJ45-Q> would it actually remove the desktop and leave me with a command-line?, or is the package name 'ubuntu-desktop' just mis-leading?
[08:33] <Erin> RJ45-Q, its just a meta package
[08:33] <Erin> is that the only thing it says its gonna remove ?
[08:34] <RJ45-Q> Erin: before I refreshed repos yes, not it wants to remove other stuff to, but it's safe to remove stuff.
[08:34] <RJ45-Q> what is a meta package?
[08:35] <Erin> RJ45-Q, im not entirely sure but thats what ive been told it is.
[08:35] <Erin> Ive had similar question before
[08:35] <Erin> !ubuntu-desktop
[08:35] <somsip> RJ45-Q: a package that just contains information relating to other packages. It contains no code as such
[08:35] <evilmoo> a meta package is one package that points to one or more other "real" packages
[08:35] <RJ45-Q> look, I REALLY can't afford my whole OS to need a complete re-install!, are you sure?
[08:35] <Erin> yea you can remove it
[08:35] <Erin> just put it bk when it done I guess
[08:36] <RJ45-Q> m'kay, I hope ur right.
[08:36] <RJ45-Q> here goes :-/
[08:36] <Erin> i know xubuntu-desktop says it will only remove that 1 pckage
[08:36] <Erin> 44kb so it must be safe
[08:36] <Lionthinker> Question: Lightread wont login, ask Ubuntu, launchpad has no answer. can you guys help?
[08:37] <RJ45-Q> if I don't respond to Erin here within 10 minutes, that means everything f***ed up and I'm very pissed.
[08:37] <Erin> lol
[08:42] <CyclicFlux> Jordan_U, Thanks for your interjection, I uninstalled swiftfox(found it strange that I had to either install it from source, or that it was not included in the default Ubuntu sources).  But after opening my original firefox, and then tweaking, and checking it I saw that it was progressively slower due to the overly grown SQLite database it keeps for anti-fishing.  Looking back its got 1+years of backups its using when I loaded my full file from FEBE(
[08:42] <CyclicFlux> firefox environment backup extension), which I use to handle my browser-related stuff/profiles
[08:42] <RJ45-Q> I just removed the 2.8, so-far so good but... I NEED HELP!...
[08:42] <RJ45-Q> samba:
[08:42] <RJ45-Q>   Depends: libwbclient0 (=2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 is to be installed
[08:42] <RJ45-Q> 3.8*
[08:43] <RJ45-Q> what do I do?
[08:44] <RJ45-Q> I need to know what to do!
[08:44] <RJ45-Q> I'm scared
[08:44] <RJ45-Q> and clueless
[08:44] <RJ45-Q> X.X
[08:44] <Erin> RJ45-Q,  idk sudo apt-get -f install
[08:44] <RJ45-Q> force install?
[08:45] <Erin> ya try it
[08:45] <yhusha> how to add the kernel driver for my network card to a minimal iso before install
[08:45] <yhusha> ANY
[08:45] <skimini> having trouble with booting from a liveUSB (64bit) on a new Samsung laptop with Win8 pre installed. Have tried various adjustments in BIOS to no avail. Is it necessary to turn Secure Boot off, or doesn't that matter. Any other suggestions please?
[08:45] <RJ45-Q> no way man!, I tried that with a pesky Java package and I had-to re-install the whole OS!
[08:46] <Erin> RJ45-Q, sounds like you did a not needed reinstall then
[08:46] <CrowX-> hi
[08:46] <RJ45-Q> ???
[08:46] <CrowX-> I created an ext4 partition using fdisk on the ubuntu live cd, installed ext4 on it with mkfs.ext4 and then put some files on it.
[08:46] <CrowX-> I unmounted the partition and rebooted.
[08:47] <skimini> ...Does the USB need to be selected as first in boot order? ...do I need to use the Ubuntu-Secure-Remix iso ?
[08:47] <CrowX-> Now when I boot through the ubuntu live cd and try to mount the partition without file system arguments, it says "you must specify file system"
[08:48] <CrowX-> when I do specify file system, it says it can't find ext4 on the partition
[08:48] <CrowX-> here's my dmesg output for that specific command
[08:48] <CrowX-> [  234.377948] EXT4-fs (sda3): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
[08:48] <Erin> CrowX-, sudo mount /blah/blah -t ext4 ?
[08:48] <CrowX-> what could be the reason?
[08:48] <crimsonmane> CrowX-: unpartitioned?
[08:49] <Erin> CrowX-, pastebin sudo parted -l ?
[08:49] <almoxarife> CrowX-: unformatted ?
[08:49] <CrowX-> crimsonmane: what do you mean? I explained above how I partitioned it and installed the file system
[08:49] <almoxarife> CrowX-: installed system on sda3?
[08:50] <CrowX-> almoxarife: I explained above everything I did
[08:50] <CrowX-> read several lines above please
[08:50] <Erin> CrowX-, pastebin sudo parted -l please
[08:50] <CrowX-> Erin: sec I'll pastebin you the output
[08:50] <Erin> k
 Now when I boot through the ubuntu live cd and try to mount the partition without file system arguments, it says "you must specify file system"
[08:50] <almoxarife> CrowX-: great, and that error explains you not having a formatted sda3 to ext4, :)
[08:50] <CrowX-> almoxarife: I created an ext4 partition using fdisk on the ubuntu live cd,  installed ext4 on it with mkfs.ext4 and then put some files on  it.
[08:50] <skimini> UEFI problems ...help?
[08:50] <CrowX-> that's my first line
[08:51] <CrowX-> I was able to mount and put those files and everything worked well
[08:51] <CrowX-> but after i unmounted and rebooted, it can't remount the partition
[08:51] <Erin> CrowX-, yea please pastebin parted so I can see whats up
[08:51] <CrowX-> Erin: here's my output of parted -l: http://pastebin.com/hRjNGhne
[08:52] <yhusha> anybody have a command to get a gui for mini install from console
[08:52] <Erin> CrowX-, thats not all of it
[08:52] <Erin> and it doesn't show an ext4 partition
[08:52] <CrowX-> Erin: /dev/sda3 is the ext4 partition
[08:52] <almoxarife> CrowX-: seems you dont have a formatted sda3 to ext4
[08:53] <Erin> CrowX-, thats not the whole output
[08:53] <CrowX-> number 3 on the list
[08:53] <Erin> please paste it all ;-p
[08:53] <CrowX-> almoxarife: if I didn't have it formated to ext4, how was I able to mount it before rebooting?
[08:53] <CrowX-> sec
[08:53] <RJ45-Q> I did a 'force downgrade' in Synaptic, and now suddenly everything is somehow happy clappy. :-/ not sure I won the battle or lost it...
[08:54] <CrowX-> Erin: here's the whole output: http://pastebin.com/pFywWMHf
[08:54] <RJ45-Q> libwbcliand   force downgrad*
[08:54] <RJ45-Q> libwbclient*
[08:55] <Erin> CrowX-, id say you need to format it again
[08:55] <CrowX-> Erin: that's what I feared :(
[08:55] <CrowX-> thanks anyway
[08:55] <Erin> CrowX-, use parted
[08:55] <CrowX-> Erin: why parted and not fdisk?
[08:55] <Erin> CrowX-, fdisk is ancient
[08:55] <CrowX-> Erin: practical reasons?
[08:55] <crimsonmane> because you're doing it wrong, that's the real reason
[08:55] <Erin> basically.
[08:55] <CrowX-> crimsonmane: what's the right way?
[08:56] <yhusha> none of the commands like sudo or aptitude or anything like that work in the shell console of ubuntu minimal install
[08:56] <crimsonmane> yhusha: they're not shell commands, they are programs you have to install
[08:56] <CrowX-> yhusha: you can install aptitude manually using "apt-get install aptitude"
[08:56] <crimsonmane> CrowX-: i dont use fdisk, but it's obvious you did something wrong.
[08:56] <RJ45-Q> after all thise changes, now although I just installed Samba, I for some strange reason can't right-click share in Nautilus anymore, the feature's gone!, any suggestions?
[08:56] <yhusha> ok
[08:56] <RJ45-Q> these*
[08:57] <Erin> RJ45-Q, use /etc/samba/smb.conf to make your shares
[08:57] <shwouchk> hello
[08:57] <RJ45-Q> I REALLY like the option though
[08:57] <CrowX-> ok thanks guys, I'll reformat and redownload a bunch of files :)
[08:57] <RJ45-Q> how do I put it back?
[08:57] <almoxarife> crimsonmane: something not being right does not make the dude wrong
[08:57] <Erin> CrowX-, no backups lol ?
[08:57] <CrowX-> Erin: those were the backups :D
[08:58] <yhusha> it says apt-get not found
[08:58] <almoxarife> oh dear,
[08:58] <Erin> CrowX-, learn to use parted its much better
[08:58] <RJ45-Q> I reckon I have-to re-install 'nautilus-share'
[08:58] <CrowX-> Erin: how is it better? I don't mind trying new things, but I'd like to know the difference first
[08:58] <RJ45-Q> I'll try that.
[08:58] <Erin> CrowX-, works with GPT for one thing
[08:59] <shwouchk> I disabled search results in 'privacy' and uninstalled the shopping-lens, yet I still get commercial suggestions at the bottom of the 'all programs' list. What do I need to do to completely get rid of this/
[08:59] <llutz_> CrowX-: parted has advantages when i comes to gpt-drives. for old msdos-patitiontables fdisk still works fine
[09:00] <heoyea> shwouchk: delete unity
[09:01] <Erin> heoyea, bizinga
[09:01] <izx> What does this mean?? E: Package 'xvncviewer' has no installation candidate
[09:01] <heoyea> izx: wrong name?
[09:01] <Erin> izx, you got the name of the package wrong
[09:01] <almoxarife> shwouchk: did you also un-install the 'ubuntu software center'?
[09:01] <shwouchk> almoxarife, no
[09:02] <RJ45-Q> 'nautilus-share' is included with the OS from first install, so I should not have-to re-download it from pkgs.org and re-install it, but Ubuntu is made by retards 25% of the time, so I'm gonna have-to I guess.
[09:02] <Erin> RJ45-Q, WOW son.
[09:02] <shwouchk> heoyea, great suggestion. I'm glad #ubuntu has people such as yourself in the community
[09:02] <almoxarife> shwouchk: give it a try, i assume you dont want pay-ware
[09:02] <Erin> RJ45-Q, tried using apt-get and calming your attitude down ?
[09:02] <heoyea> shwouchk: no probs
[09:02] <shwouchk> almoxarife, don't want commercials of any kind
[09:03] <RJ45-Q> Erin: I should not have-to apt-get either!, for Samba!
[09:03] <Erin> RJ45-Q, thats like saying you shouldn't haveto breathe
[09:03] <RJ45-Q> ...at-least it's not Apple.
[09:03] <Erin> RJ45-Q, yea its free try to remember that.
[09:03] <almoxarife> shwouchk: i can imagine
[09:03] <RJ45-Q> or at-least it's not Windows
[09:04] <shwouchk> almoxarife, there is no package called ubuntu-software-center... do you know how it is actually called?
[09:04] <RJ45-Q> I'd rather take an Elephant trunk up the ass than but stuck with Apple or Microsoft the rest of my like :P
[09:04] <RJ45-Q> be*
[09:04] <Erin> RJ45-Q, you would like that eh?
[09:04] <almoxarife> shwouchk: did you look via synaptic?
[09:04] <RJ45-Q> XD
[09:04] <heoyea> shwouchk: think is just called software-center
[09:04] <almoxarife> shwouchk: what heoyea said
[09:05] <shwouchk> I use aptitude usually
[09:05] <almoxarife> shwouchk: i use zypper usually
[09:05] <pbt> !emacs
[09:06] <pbt> !code
[09:06] <Erin> I use eclipes when the sun is too bright
[09:06] <RJ45-Q> I re-installed 'nautilus-share' even though I shouldn't of had-to, not it's still not there.
[09:07] <Erin> RJ45-Q, try restarting the WM
[09:07] <RJ45-Q> I'm gonna reboot now, I just hope I can log back in afterwards after all those changes, wish me luck!!!
[09:07] <Erin> RJ45-Q, no need to reboot
[09:07] <Erin> RJ45-Q, sudo service lightdm restart
[09:07] <RJ45-Q> Erin: it needs a fresh start anyway.
[09:07] <RJ45-Q> ;)
[09:07] <Erin> did you update kernel ?
[09:08] <Erin> thats only reason to reboot
[09:08] <RJ45-Q> I don't think so, why?
[09:08] <RJ45-Q> lol
[09:08] <almoxarife> Erin: he wants to reboot!
[09:08] <Erin> so then you don't need to reboot
[09:08] <Erin> I try to teach people this isn't windows
[09:08] <Erin> every right mouse click doesn't require a reboot lol
[09:08] <alusion> Erin, what command can I issue to find out more about a process?
[09:08] <RJ45-Q> ...and I was all like, "screw you muther ******, I'ma gon' reboot man!
[09:09] <RJ45-Q> "*
[09:09] <Erin> alusion, like what exactly ?
[09:09]  * RJ45-Q reboots
[09:09] <alusion> Erin: I issue pgrep, and wanna find out more about a process id
[09:09] <alusion> #
[09:09] <alusion> ykno? lol I wanna know what is running on my system
[09:10] <Erin> alusion, ps -ef
[09:10] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: there is a practical reason for a reboot, its a guarantee that the sys will restart next time, restarting a service only tells you that the service runs post what ever you did, its not a server working moon shots or keeping us safe, reboot brother!
[09:10] <Erin> alusion, or install htop
[09:10] <alusion> ah yeah I use htop. Thanks, hey also -- how do I check my zeitgeist logs if ya know
[09:10] <llutz_> almoxarife: ps -fp <pid from pgrep>
[09:10] <llutz_> alusion: ^^ sry almoxarife
[09:10] <Erin> alusion, idk what a zeitgeist is
[09:11] <RJ45-Q> it worked! :D
[09:11] <almoxarife> llutz_: no idea
[09:11] <RJ45-Q> ...finally
[09:11] <texta> Hey guys, my mounted disks aren't showing up in nautilus on the left
[09:11] <texta> any idea how I can get them up there? They are mounted via fstab
[09:12] <Erin> RJ45-Q, welcome back big scaredy cat
[09:12] <heoyea> zeigesit is a logger, think of it as recent documents on steriods
[09:12] <almoxarife> texta: sure they are mounted?
[09:12] <texta> almoxarife:  I've been using them all day :[p
[09:12] <texta> :P*
[09:12] <alusion> The man has arrived.
[09:12] <almoxarife> texta: what changes in nautilus?
[09:13] <Erin> I was wondering where parsnip was
[09:13] <Erin> he is always in here
[09:13] <texta> What changes?
[09:13] <RJ45-Q> the one thin g I hate about Linux is all the bullshit yer have-to go through to install one f****** program or get a service to work... not like that with Windows, I hate Windows so bloody much, but Linux has a lot of 'deal breaking' crap.
[09:13] <RJ45-Q> thing*
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> Erin: howdy
[09:13] <texta> The only storage devices that appear in nautilus (as drives) are two disks I _haven't_ got in fstab
[09:13] <Erin> RJ45-Q, usually its sudo apt-get install 'app' alot easier than windows
[09:13] <heoyea> RJ45-Q: dont update =D
[09:13] <texta> that are NTFS formatted
[09:13] <RJ45-Q> Erin: what if you have no Internet connection?, screwed much?
[09:14] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: believe it or not this channel has to stay kiddie friendly, so be nice
[09:14] <Erin> RJ45-Q, no? if you have the .deb file for the app
[09:14] <Erin> no need interwebz
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: with windows you need to know the site for the app you want (not always obvious), in Ubuntu you can just search software centre
[09:14] <Erin> RJ45-Q, you bash linux alot yet you use it.
[09:15] <Erin> RJ45-Q, I think it stems from you being a 'noob' no offense ;-P
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: you need web access to install apps in Windows too.
[09:15] <RJ45-Q> Erin: I no, that's how I install y programs usually. '1 .deb to manually go, about 103 more to go, for one program :-/'
[09:15] <RJ45-Q> know*
[09:16] <Erin> RJ45-Q, sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[09:16] <Erin> done
[09:16] <Erin> O_o
[09:16] <Erin> o_O
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: with Windows, use a web connection and get everything setup then use it. Simple
[09:16] <ace_leo> hello anyone there? Noob here
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> ace_leo: howdy
[09:16] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: perhaps what you need is a really configurable desktop, like KDE
[09:17] <llutz_> Erin: "done"  if you got all the depending .debs too
[09:17] <Erin> llutz, like a boss!
[09:17] <RJ45-Q> Erin: say ur only access to thi Internet is via a Library computer running Windows, and ya gotta get some apps for ur Ubuntu at home.. welcome to hell.
[09:17] <ace_leo> hey ActionParsnip: fine how are you?
[09:17] <Erin> RJ45-Q, well id say get internet acess at home lol.
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> ace_leo: working hard and hardly working
[09:17] <RJ45-Q> Erin: not so easy when you really poor.
[09:18] <ace_leo> lol nice
[09:18] <Erin> I am really poor
[09:18] <RJ45-Q> Erin: I had this problem
[09:18] <Erin> in the US you can get broadband internet almost free if you meet income guidelines
[09:18] <Erin> idk what country you are in tho
[09:18] <RJ45-Q> Erin: I live in UK
[09:18] <llutz_> RJ45-Q: there is software creating list of packages to download in that case, but you're true, linux without internet is no fun (like all other OSes too)
[09:18] <ace_leo> ActionParsnip: Trying to get myself accustomed to this ubuntu
[09:18] <Erin> might have similar program
[09:18] <ace_leo> ActionParsnip: recent convert from windows :)
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> ace_leo: you will as you use the OS
[09:19] <Erin> any computer without internet is no fun
[09:19] <Erin> its like being on a desert island alone
[09:19] <Erin> only coconuts to keep you company.
[09:19] <ace_leo> Erin: been there :)
[09:19] <Vista> anyone use powernap, does it actually work?
[09:19] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: you at the library on a win?
[09:20] <Erin> RJ45-Q, bring your desktop pc to the library and hook it up to one of their monitors ;-p
[09:20] <RJ45-Q> Windows is a lot easyer with no Internet, 'cos to install an average program, you just need ONE .EXE, on Ubuntu you've got a crap loada dependency .DEBS.
[09:20] <ace_leo> ActionParsnip: any tips for a newbie? so far this ubuntu is giving me headaches lol
[09:20] <almoxarife> Vista: powernaps always worked for me, even the 10min ones
[09:20] <Erin> RJ45-Q, you got a point
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: try install Gimp in Windows, its not one EXE
[09:20] <RJ45-Q> almoxarife: thankfully not at the moment!
[09:20] <Erin> well night all me and the puppy gonna go cuddle in bed ;-)
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> ace_leo: just use the OS, get used to it
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: each app having its own install stuff is also why WIndows wastes resources
[09:21] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: so why are you using a linux system if it sux so much? i missed something
[09:21] <Erin> almoxarife, u missed the part where he said ubuntu was made by retards
[09:21] <Erin> LOL
[09:21] <RJ45-Q> I just want some sort of Ubuntu-like alternative, that installs programs in a very similar way to Windows, and no, not Wine, it sucks ball, also no ethics.
[09:22] <RJ45-Q> sucks balls*
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: in Linux, libraries already in RAM are not loaded over and over, its a waste. Many apps can use a single lib from the HDD and in RAM, so it is more efficient in that way, also upgrades to the single lib upgrade ALL apps. Windows doesn't have this so upgrades use more data and are slower
[09:22] <almoxarife> Erin: that was not nice
[09:22] <gordonjcp> windows is really hard to install things in
[09:22] <iceroot> RJ45-Q: if you want an installer like on windows and not like apt-get you dont have a clue what you are talking about
[09:22] <almoxarife> i hate ubuntu, let me in
[09:22] <Erin> almoxarife, yea yet he uses it
[09:22] <RJ45-Q> I said a small percentage of Ubuntu is made by 'tards, not all of it.
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: I can punch holes in both OSes, in short, every OS sucks
[09:23] <iceroot> RJ45-Q: and stop your stupud discussion here, if you have a support question feel free to ask real questions, everything else goes to #ubuntu-offtopic or /dev/null
[09:23] <ace_leo> I guess the whole 'Linux for Human Beings' is out of the window :)
[09:23] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: indeed
[09:23] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: RT-11 doesn't
[09:23] <rudivs> is it a good idea to disable all ppa's before upgrading to 12.10?
[09:23] <RJ45-Q> ActionParsnip: true
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> rudivs: yes
[09:23] <iceroot> rudivs: its done automaticly by the upgrade-tool
[09:23] <gordonjcp> rudivs: yes, very much so
[09:24] <rudivs> thanks all
[09:24] <RJ45-Q> I am a 'Install manually from .debs' war veteran!, how?, 'cos I've done VLC like that on multiple occasions   X.X
[09:25] <bazhang_> RJ45-Q, that enough.
[09:25] <iceroot> RJ45-Q: its stupid to install debs manually
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: vlc is in the repos, so why make work for yourself?
[09:25] <iceroot> RJ45-Q: no dependencies will be fit
[09:25] <iceroot> RJ45-Q: sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:26] <Erin> RJ45-Q, are you a troll?
[09:26] <RJ45-Q> no internet onnection...
[09:26] <Erin> if you are you got me I admit.
[09:26] <RJ45-Q> connection*
[09:26] <iceroot> !offline | RJ45-Q
[09:26] <RJ45-Q> Erin: no
[09:27] <RJ45-Q> look, I have a different problem now, please may we drop this?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: then you will need the debs and all it's deps. Ubuntu comes with a media player you can use already
[09:27] <Erin> oh well took the dog out to the bathroom now its bed time. Night all!
[09:27] <antz> anyone have any ideas why 12.04 LTS wireless connection isnt stable (sometimes it just disconnects for no reason)
[09:27] <RJ45-Q> what's wrong with this share?:
[09:27] <RJ45-Q> 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running.
[09:27] <RJ45-Q> what happened?
[09:27] <Erin> RJ45-Q, is smbd running ?
[09:27] <heoyea> just use Windows package manager, cinst 7zip vlc ..etc
[09:28] <RJ45-Q> Erin: should be
[09:28] <Erin> RJ45-Q, ps -ef | grep smbd
[09:28] <Erin> RJ45-Q, sudo service smbd start or do restart
[09:28] <Erin> good luck and learn how to use samba.conf if you want to be a samba pro
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> or:  service smbd status
[09:28] <RJ45-Q>       2017  1997  0 09:28 pts/1    00:00:00 grep --color=auto smbd
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Erin: smb.conf ;)
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: then its not running
[09:29] <Erin> ActionParsnip, ahh yea its late here ;-P
[09:29] <Erin> was thinking /etc/samba/smb.conf turned in to samba.conf
[09:29] <RJ45-Q> shouldn't is be running from reboot?
[09:29] <RJ45-Q> why it not auto-run?
[09:29] <Erin> RJ45-Q, mine has to be restarted once after boot for no apparent reason
[09:29] <Erin> or it doesn't work
[09:29] <Erin> its like it gets started too early before network is up
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: can you start it manually?
[09:30] <Erin> ok my wife is pissed
[09:30] <Erin> afk
[09:30] <RJ45-Q> damnit such a deal-breaker!
[09:30] <RJ45-Q> ...what's the damn command?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: sudo service smbd start
[09:30] <Vista> almoxarife: I was trying powernap last night but it didn't seem to do anything, I retsarted it and could see it running but no logs or suspend attempt, do I need to use the stages 2 bit?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: if it fails to start, thats why it dodn't start at boot
[09:30] <Vista> my box suspends fine
[09:31] <RJ45-Q> smbd start/running, process 2031
[09:31] <RJ45-Q> good?
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: by default the service will start at boot, but if there are issues, or you killed the PID, it will be stopped
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: then its running now
[09:31] <RJ45-Q> ActionParsnip: what issues could there be?
[09:31] <llutz_> RJ45-Q: check logs /var/log/*
[09:31] <RJ45-Q> I can't read logs!
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: millions, you should check logs.  Like those Windows users who don't defrag or do system housecleaning
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: same bag
[09:35] <RJ45-Q> ???
[09:36] <RJ45-Q> there are so many logs, what name?
[09:36] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: check this out, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7591469&postcount=19 , make the fix suggested, restart the service
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: I can't intelligently reply without you typing words. How do you want me to reply '???'. Thinnk about it
[09:36] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: !!!
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: *^*&^&*^*&^&*^*^  please reply
[09:36] <gundy> Is there a better place to ask about ubuntu on AWS?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: :/var/log/samba holds the logs
[09:37] <RJ45-Q> what is the log name?
[09:37] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: the answer is, as always, "42"
[09:38] <RJ45-Q> thx
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: log.hostname of system. Why not have a look, explore your OS a bit
[09:39] <almoxarife> i forget, why do people insist on using 'samba'?
[09:39] <RJ45-Q> log.<IP_ADDRESS> appears to be a blank empty file.

[09:42] <RJ45-Q> has anyone here ever tried DLNA program 'Rygel' and found it does not work, then looked online for a solution, but found nothing?, well guess what guys!, I figured out a fix all by myself!: change the 'port number' to '1900'... YOU ARE WELCOME!
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: you'll probably find it's ok after a reboot
[09:43] <RJ45-Q> ActionParsnip: the problem occured after a reboot.
[09:43] <erkon> hello all
[09:43] <RJ45-Q> I have no account on forums, somebody please update them with the fix for Rygel I just mentioned.
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: could add the command in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' and it will get started up at boot
[09:44] <erkon> I want to report that the older ubuntu netinstalls do not work
[09:44] <erkon> PLEASE fix them
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: dude I've submitted buckets of fixes, as have others. Nobody else is shouting "you're welcome"

[09:49] <erkon> please fix this

[09:50] <ikonia> erkon: YOU fix it
[09:50] <ikonia> erkon: or don't use old releases that are dead
[09:50] <almoxarife> erkon: which mirror did you use?
[09:50] <heoyea> erkon: think is called end of life Repositories
[09:51] <erkon> just set up a virtual machine and dowload minicd 10.04 32 bit , and try to download the install components
[09:51] <erkon> you will see that I'm right
[09:51] <almoxarife> erkon: which mirror did you use?
[09:51] <erkon> us mirror
[09:51] <almoxarife> erkon: try the 'de' mirror
[09:52] <erkon> you try it man
[09:52] <erkon> I 'm trying this for a week
[09:52] <almoxarife> erkon: it was shown to work, thnks
[09:52] <erkon> what was shown?
[09:53] <almoxarife> erkon: the mirror at 'de' was installing 10.04
[09:53] <erkon> when?
[09:54] <almoxarife> erkon: less than a week back
[09:54] <erkon> ok
[09:54] <erkon> I'll check it atm
[09:54] <almoxarife> erkon: ok
[09:56] <master> how do i block any gtk3 apps from installing? Lick pinning libgtk3 to nothing
[09:57] <gordonjcp> master: that seems like an odd thing to do
[09:57] <master> gordonjcp, still..
[09:58] <gordonjcp> master: you could try only installing old software
[09:58] <gordonjcp> master: most things that use gtk will be ported to gtk3 sooner or later
[09:58] <master> well, sometimes it is in the dependencies. I want to block any app from installing that has dependencies on gtk3
[09:59] <gordonjcp> why?
[09:59] <master> simple as that
[09:59] <master> gordonjcp, ugly. and does not look integrated in my desktop
[09:59] <master> * -d
[09:59] <gordonjcp> master: well, don't install gtk apps then
[10:00] <almoxarife> master: i know, delete the lib, create a link to gtk2 with the same name, wont keep it from installing but when it crashes you know you got a gtk3 app from running
[10:00] <master> there are plenty of gtk2 apps that i like
[10:00] <master> almoxarife, i rather use apt to block the apps
[10:00] <nowayride> So /etc/xorg.conf is depreciated right? Where should we be saving custom modelines?
[10:01] <almoxarife> master: what magic you going to apt with to keep gkt3 apps from installing, short of not installing the app?
[10:01] <erkon> Netinstall installer is not dowloading anything from de mirror
[10:02] <master> almoxarife, exactly i do not want any random metapackage to install gtk3 by accident.
[10:02] <almoxarife> erkon: unfortunate, the nick who brought it up was all excited about finding the one mirror that worked, perhaps it was not 'de'
[10:03] <almoxarife> master: great, good luck
[10:03] <erkon> you said that de works
[10:03] <almoxarife> erkon: sue me!
[10:03] <erkon> the other guy above is giving me a script with apt-get
[10:04] <master> almoxarife, How do i blacklist any package?
[10:04] <erkon> apt-get is not installed in netinstall
[10:04] <erkon> so if you please do not know , do not answer
[10:04] <erkon> so I'm very disappoined that with ubuntu mess
[10:05] <master> apt-get is in the netboot iso
[10:05] <texta> Ugh
[10:05] <texta> so my mount points need to be in /media rather than /mnt
[10:05] <texta> to make them appear in the nautilus side-pane :\
[10:05] <almoxarife> erkon: gosh, you sound disappointed, i am feeling bad for adding to your calamity
[10:06] <master> texta, you could symlink /mnt to /media afaik
[10:06] <dr_willis> or visa versa. ;-)
[10:06] <texta> Probably a better idea, I have a folder called /net too
[10:06] <texta> which has all my mounted nfs shares :p
[10:06] <erkon> apt-get not found
[10:07] <erkon> check it fist
[10:07] <erkon> apt-get is not in netboot
[10:07] <dr_willis> apt-get install apt-get   :-P
[10:07] <erkon> sure
[10:07] <erkon> LOL
[10:07] <erkon> can you please tell ubuntu to delete old miniCD they are useless
[10:07] <dr_willis> never ysed the netboot here.
[10:08] <almoxarife> erkon: i will add it to my xmas list
[10:08] <master> erkon, you must have a corrupted iso. both apt-get and aptitude is on the netboot iso
[10:08] <erkon> well it is not
[10:08] <almoxarife> dr_willis: i used it, works, but i was not trying to install noahs version of ubuntu
[10:08] <master> download a working iso
[10:08] <erkon> md5sum is correct
[10:09] <dr_willis> nooahbuntu
[10:09] <erkon> the big question is why ubuntu keeps not working isos?
[10:09] <master> erkon, no idea
[10:10] <dr_willis> historical  reasons
[10:10] <erkon> is there anyone from ubuntu in irc ?
[10:10] <almoxarife> dr_willis: version -2bc the 'pluvial' edition
[10:10] <texta> master, Either I have to reboot
[10:10] <texta> or it isn't working :c
[10:10] <dr_willis> angry amoeba
[10:11] <almoxarife> dr_willis: :)
[10:12] <dr_willis> be a cool nameung scheme for a mini sized distro
[10:13] <almoxarife> i never figured out what a 'oneiric' was
[10:15] <dr_willis> pangolin - the other yellow  meat.
[10:16] <dr_willis> now i have to go home. get a n|t install cd and see if it hhas apt-get
[10:20] <almoxarife> dr_willis: i just happen to have one, will look
[10:20] <skimini> does anyone know how to adjust mouse wheel behaviour in ubuntu 12.10 please?  ....the one I have scrolls too fast/too much per click of the wheel
[10:22] <almoxarife> dr_willis: nop, hence the 'mini'
[10:24] <bou> Installed, or tried to install, ubuntu 12.04 on a refurbished laptop. bootloader "failed to install in the designated area" or similar. followed instructions here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair, which ends by advising people to come to a place like this and ask for help. so, any help appreciated
[10:24] <almoxarife> gots to love kde, used dolphin to open the folder on a network drive (fish) and opened the iso with ark, flawless
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> bou: are you installed Grub from the liveCD?
[10:25] <master> dr_willis, i just installed precise from net boot and it definitly has atp-get
[10:25] <master> apt*
[10:26] <rudivs> can I "pause" the file downloading during a distribution upgrade process? with my current connection, a 1.4GB download will take about 18 hours it seems...
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> rudivs: what are you downloading using?
[10:26] <almoxarife> master: i am looking at the iso content, i wonder why i dont see it?
[10:26] <rudivs> ActionParsnip, the Distribution Upgrade tool
[10:26] <bou> ActionParsnip, no, from USB
[10:27] <bou> ActionParsnip, from a USb from which, incidentally, I installed Ubuntu on another laptop, fully successfully
[10:27] <dr_willis> perhaps the italler installd it.
[10:28] <almoxarife> dr_willis: could be, them itallers are tricky
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> bou: same difference
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> bou: you can use the omgubuntu guide called 'sticking it to grub' to chroot to the installed OS and reinstate grub
[10:29] <bou> ActionParsnip, i installed ubuntu from usb external device, not just the grub, that is what didn't install (properly)
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> bou: you can chroot and fix it easily
[10:30] <dr_willis> may want to make sure the bios dosent have a "protect the mbr/antivirus" setting also
[10:30] <bou> ActionParsnip, thanks for that, however i have no idea what it even means to "Chroot" so i guess it is another trip to google,
[10:31] <bou> I'd appreciate if some one could take it from here:
[10:31] <rudivs> ActionParsnip, it gives me a Cancel button - if I press it, will it keep the files it has downloaded so far or delete them? ie can I use the Cancel button and then start the upgrade process from where it left off later?

[10:31] <haydar> Hello, guys im trying to install VMWare workstation on ubuntu 13.04 Raring. but vmware cant find the kernel header. i tried to reinstall the headers and stuff but that didnt work anyone got an idea where i can look ?

[10:35] <Bartzy> Hey
[10:35] <DrLinux> I can't connect with ethernet cable, only wlan - I need to get my full duplex 100/100 working in an hour. Guidance needed!
[10:35] <dknight> has anyone tried kexi? I liked sequel pro but it is only for Mac. any suggestions?
[10:35] <Bartzy> For a developer laptop - What version of Ubuntu should I install ? 12.10 ?
[10:36] <dknight> Bartzy: your statement is ironical
[10:36] <dknight> a developer knows exactly what (s)he wants on the system
[10:36] <dr_willis> DrLinux:  plug it in.. check dmesg output for errors.
[10:36] <dknight> Bartzy: if its a wanna developer in question, then ask the master
[10:37] <dr_willis> DrLinux: try with a live cd.. see if it works there. to prove its not a hardware issue.
[10:37] <Bartzy> dknight: What? I just need a stable system to web develop on. is 12.10 stable? Why should I go for 12.04 LTS?
[10:38] <dr_willis> Bartzy: doubt if it matters much.
[10:38] <bou> dr_willis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair is the page i reported in the first place that i was following instructions, and given that it can not give any more generic advice, advises to come to somewhere like this for further help taking from my results, which i have also pasted
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  12.04 and 12.10 are both stable, choose the one you prefer
[10:38] <Bartzy> MonkeyDust: What are the differences ?
[10:38] <dr_willis> bou so you did use the boot-repair tool?
[10:38] <DrLinux> dr_willis, I'm sure it's software.
[10:39] <bou> which i can paste again: can some one help by reading this pastebin and advise what i should do further please?
[10:39] <bou> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392367/
[10:39] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  i'l sure there are reviews that describe the differences
[10:39] <bou> thanks
[10:39] <bou> dr_willis, as stated in my first sentence, yes i did
[10:39] <dr_willis> DrLinux: if a live cd works. see what module its loading for the nic.
[10:39] <Bartzy> MonkeyDust: And it's not an issue to use Gnome 3 and not unity ?
[10:39] <bou> but it didn't repair it enough for ubuntu to be able to boot so i am asking here for futher help
[10:39] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  unity is a shell over gnome3
[10:40] <riqdiiz> I previously had xp and ubuntu installed side by side and wanted to add slitaz in the list how do I do that such that I still maintain ubuntu grub as well as xp?
[10:40] <Bartzy> MonkeyDust: So using Gnome Shell instead of Unity? Is it during installation or afterwards ?
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  yeah, you can do it afterwards, i don't use unity myself
[10:41] <dknight> Bartzy: go for the latest stable release. Use LTS when you want to use the same system for a very long time.
[10:41] <dr_willis> bou got a pastebin of the boot-repair info file? you did chevk the bios to make sure no mbr protection features are enabled?
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  tip: first get to know ubuntu, before you start using it for development purposes
[10:41] <RJ45-Q> Samba is set up and works when the service is enabled in the command line, but when I check 'personal file sharing' in preferences it says the feature can't be enable because the required packages are not installed!, what packages am I missing?
[10:41] <Bartzy> MonkeyDust: I'm using Debian right now. Is it that different ?
[10:42] <Bartzy> dknight: Thanks.
[10:42] <Bartzy> MonkeyDust: And do you use gnome shell, or just gnome 2? :) Is there an option besides gnome shell and unity ?
[10:42] <Bartzy> I'm currently using gnome 2 with Debian. Interested to move forward but I'm afraid of the change ;)
[10:42] <bou> dr_willis, i got a pastebin of the boot-repair info file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392367/
[10:42] <MonkeyDust> Bartzy  these questions are offtopic -- i use gnome-classic/fallback
[10:43] <dr_willis> bbl. heading home.
[10:43] <RJ45-Q> what packages am I missing?
[10:45] <warhole_> no comments just a salud,installet linux mint 14 nadia,and was abel too install vmware tools aswell,dam used hours on that,grenn on this

[10:52] <MonkeyDust> brady  http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> riqdiiz: just no updates or support, pretty big problem imho
[10:54] <riqdiiz> TeraQuibbler: what is raring?
[10:54] <RJ45-Q> Samba is set up and works when the service is enabled in the command line, but when I check 'personal file sharing' in preferences it says the feature can't be enabled because the required packages are not installed!, what packages am I missing?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> riqdiiz: codename of Ubuntu 13.04
[10:55] <warhole_> raring in norwigian is steve jobs one who does the opposite
[10:55] <brady> can one use cairo dock in gnome3 ?

[10:57] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: I see you
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> brady: sure if you want
[10:57] <RJ45-Q> Samba is set up and works when the service is enabled in the command line, but when I check 'personal file sharing' in preferences it says the feature can't be enabled because the required packages are not installed!, what packages am I missing?
[10:57] <warhole_> no,installed and managed too get up and going this mint system,spo im quite happy tjis morning,,ok
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> brady: the app requires compositing which is given by compiz, so i will run
[10:57] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: does it not ask you if you want to install now?
[10:57] <Metrics> RJ: perhaps this helps: http://macpablodesigns.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/enable-personal-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-10-04/
[10:58] <RJ45-Q> almoxarife: no, but even if it did, I want the debs
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: what are you using to click 'sharing'?
[10:58] <brady> so it will run?
[10:58] <TeraQuibbler> ActionParsnip: they are afk all of them
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> brady: yes
[10:58] <brady> cool.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> TeraQuibbler: so?
[10:58] <warhole_> with a litle bit help from frienda
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> TeraQuibbler: doesn't mean its ontoppic here
[10:58] <TeraQuibbler> ActionParsnip: do install ubuntu raring, i install 12.04 and enable unstable repo?
[10:59] <TeraQuibbler> 12.10
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> TeraQuibbler: you will need: sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> TeraQuibbler: if you need to ask, you probably shouldn't use pre-release
[10:59] <rootpt> sometimes the list in console is too big and i cant push more on the top, what could i do to see the entire list?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> rootpt: pipe the text to less
[11:00] <Metrics> or tail it :)
[11:00] <rootpt> sorry?
[11:00] <TeraQuibbler> ActionParsnip: k thanks.
[11:00] <rootpt> don't understand sorry.
[11:01] <riqdiiz> Where can I get a decent dictionary for computer jargon?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> rootpt: what command are you running to make a lot of text?
[11:01] <MonkeyDust> rootpt  type [your command] | less
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> riqdiiz: online.....
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> rootpt: eg:  ps -ef       outputs a LOT of text. If you run:  ps -ef | less      you can use the pager to view the text
[11:02] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: you need 'samba' deb
[11:03] <RJ45-Q> whoever sent my that blog link, thanks, I thing it might work for some reason.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> RJ45-Q: why not make life easier and just get a web connection and get setup
[11:03] <RJ45-Q> almoxarife: ns, I installed it.
[11:03] <RJ45-Q> almoxarife: it no work
[11:03] <RJ45-Q> ActionParsnip: I now have a web connection, it just sucks, I want the debs!
[11:04] <RJ45-Q> debs = future installations
[11:04] <RJ45-Q> and knowing what's going in ur system.
[11:04] <almoxarife> RJ45-Q: it may 'no work' but is what includes the server, which 'no work'
[11:05] <RJ45-Q> apache requires 10 packages, ffs.
[11:05] <RJ45-Q> almoxarife: ur embarrassing urself, be quite please.
[11:05] <almoxarife> he seems very uptight
[11:06] <rootpt> ActionParsnip: ahmmm ok thanks man.
[11:07] <almoxarife> !info samba
[11:08] <rootpt> ActionParsnip: for example the comand is netstat -a |less
[11:08] <rootpt> ?

[11:36] <dsenator> ActionParsnip, nothing actually happens in my terminal when I enter the lines
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> phax  if lsb_release -sd is not found, then it is not ubuntu
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: if you run:  lsusb; lspci    do you see it listed there?
[11:37] <phax> MonkeyDust, i am booted onto archlinux but the distro installed on the hard drive is Ubuntu 10.0.4
[11:37] <abhitest> hi. i installed opensuse then i installed lubuntu and now my grub do nto show suse. it only shows lubuntu. i am inside lubuntu right now. how can i get opensuse listing in grub back?
[11:37] <abhitest> help please
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> abhitest: if you run:  sudo update-grub   does it get added?
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> phax  what was the initial issue again?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> rootpt: the less pager is very useful :)

I just cant send or receive bluetooth messages from my phone or elsewhere, but it did work normally until it stopped
[11:40] <phax> MonkeyDust, is there any file i need to edit or do i need to re-run grub-install?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: do you dual boot?
[11:40] <dsenator> yes
[11:40] <stephenson> hello
[11:40] <blackshirt> hello stephenson
[11:40] <dsenator> ActionParsnip, yes I dual booth
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: in windows device manager, disable the ability for the device to wake up the system as well as disable power management on it
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: patience
[11:41] <stephenson> is anyone out there
[11:41] <dsenator> i use windows 7
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: it still has a device manager
[11:41] <dsenator> yes
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: so why tell me it's Win7?
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> !grub > phax start here, read this first
[11:41] <dsenator> I am told to always give all info about my spec to get the right help
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: true :). You aren't wrong
[11:42] <Kartagis> when I ftp in a server and type ls, the server becomes unresponsive. how come?
[11:42] <stephenson> where r u girls
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: same in gui apps?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> !girls
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> stephenson  type alt-f4 to get a list
[11:43] <spidernik84> Hi everyone. I was wondering: when building a deb package, is it preferrable to build a version of the package for each release it should be installed on? Say I build it for Lucid, do I need to build a Precise version for better performances/features/compatibility or can I use the same one?
[11:43] <dsenator> ActionParsnip, i will follow all your directions here and note it so when I switch over to windows I can do what you say without having this xchat on still... so ple tell me
[11:43] <narcos> Hi all. What's the best way to remote GUI into Ubuntu 12.10 desktop? I'm trying VNC, but am getting a boring grey background (after following https://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/how-to-install-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-server-12-04/)
[11:43] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: haven't tried yet. will try in 10
[11:44] <phax> MonkeyDust, i don't know why this failed in the first place
[11:44] <Iohn> I recently accidentally deleted a bunch of files from a partition. I thought I'd be smart to create an image of it, using TestDisk to avoid any further writings possibly damaging the files. Now I've got the ISO but I'm not sure of how to try to extract the deleted files, any ideas? The partition was my home, partitioned in Ext4
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> phax  got to go, i'm sure someone else can help, good luck
[11:45] <phax> thx
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: win device manager, properties of device, disable wake up and power management
[11:46] <abhitest> ActionParsnip: yes i ran update-grub and it do not work
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Iohn: use your backups
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> abhitest: my grub skills are slim
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> abhitest: the guys in #grub may be able to help some
[11:48] <abhitest> ActionParsnip: ok
[11:49] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: no stall whatsoever using gFTP
[11:49] <yacc> spidernik84, well, that depends, usually the big difference between distributions are libraries => hence a package for xxx will not work on older/newer distributions that miss the relevant version (or a compatible one).
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: cool :)
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: does the client show it switching to different transfer modes?
[11:51] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: first Binary, then Passive
[11:51] <Iohn> ActionParsnip: The directory I deleted sadly has no recent backup. Which is why I hoped to be able to extract the deleted files from the ISO. Is there any possiblity of acquiring these files?
[11:51] <spidernik84> yacc, thanks, so it's generally better to compile it for different distributions to avoid issues
[11:51] <Kartagis> do I need PASV before ls?
[11:51] <obert> how to wget an entire site?
[11:51] <Kartagis> obert: wget -m
[11:51] <Metrics> obert: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Iohn: then you can try foremost. You will need a partition as big as the partition to spit all the data to (deleted and current). The data may be damaged or it may be fine
[11:52] <Kartagis> obert: one caveat though, if the server has php files, they are first processed, then wget'd
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: try it, not sure
[11:53] <obert> mirror
[11:53] <Iohn> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, I'll give it a go.
[11:53] <obert> i still download one only index
[11:53] <obert> bbl
[11:53] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: heh, typing passive worked
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: groovy :)
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Iohn: its gonna take a while
[11:54] <rudivs> I use dual monitors in ubuntu, with Sticky Edges turned off. Moving from left monitor to right, the cursor moves across smoothly, moving from right to left, it sticks. Is this expected behaviour, or a bug? ie, should it move smoothly both ways across the divide?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> rudivs: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[11:56] <rudivs> ActionParsnip, precise
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> rudivs: are there bugs reported?
[11:58] <rudivs> ActionParsnip, there are bugs for Sticky Edges, but I haven't found any for "one way only" sticky edges
[11:58] <dsenator> ActionParsnip, once I do that what next do I do... I am asking cos I have to exit the IRC chat to get to windows
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> dsenator: reboot to Ubuntu
[11:59] <Kishi> How would I check which version of Ubuntu I am using?
[11:59] <dr_willis> !version | Kishi
[11:59] <spidernik84> cat /etc/issue
[12:00] <Kishi> Mhm, so it's precise after all
[12:00] <Kishi> Then I'm having some trouble
[12:00] <Kishi> I'm trying to install iplist (iplist.sourceforge.net)
[12:01] <Kishi> Site instructed me to create a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d with my version to add iplist to repositories
[12:01] <Kishi> And so I did, typing precise as my version
[12:01] <Kishi> Homever something didn't work out
[12:02] <rudivs> ActionParsnip, seems to only be an issue when launcher is set to hidden
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> Kishi: can you pastebin the file you made please
[12:02] <Kishi> It's 2 lines of text I can paste it here as well
[12:03] <Kishi> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ssakar/ppa/ubuntu precise main
[12:03] <Kishi> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ssakar/ppa/ubuntu precise main
[12:03] <abhitest> help restore encrypted lvm suse after installing lubuntu to grub2
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Kishi: why are you adding it like that?
[12:03] <Kishi> ActionParsnip: http://iplist.sourceforge.net/download.html
[12:03] <Kishi> I was following the instructions posted there
[12:03] <bazhang> abhitest, sounds like a suse issue
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Kishi: delete the file you made
[12:04] <Kishi> I allready did
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Kishi: there is a command to do it automatically
[12:04] <bazhang> abhitest, #suse
[12:04] <Kishi> Cause it was throwing errors during updates
[12:04] <ale_> hi, what do I need to do to have the internet turn on when I turn on the computer? it takes about 10 minues to turn on each time
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Kishi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ssakar/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install iplist
[12:04] <ale_> it says "waiting for network connection"
[12:05] <abhitest> bazhang: i first installed suse with /boot in normal partition and / inside encprted lvm. "Then" I installed lubuntu 12.10 and now grub shows only lubuntu. so its lubuntu issue. not suse.
[12:05] <ale_> and stays waiting.. and when it turns on no network until I do "sudo service network-manager start"
[12:05] <ale_> how do I get that to start by default? surely the internet should work out of the box
[12:05] <ale_> also with new ubuntu if there's a system problem it doesn't show me the error
[12:05] <ale_> it just wants to send it somewhere
[12:05] <ale_> :(
[12:06] <Kishi> ActionParsnip: Didn't work
[12:06] <Kishi> ActionParsnip: I got 404
[12:06] <dr_willis> it does work outof the box on bootup here for me ale_  sounds like you got somthing crashing. How are you connected to the internet?
[12:07] <Kishi> Oh wait I get it
[12:07] <Kishi> There is no version for precise available in the repository
[12:07] <Kishi> Sucks.
[12:08] <Kishi> ActionParsnip: How do I remove this repository now?  How could I not come up with this myself? Hahaha. Thanks.
[12:13] <datapolitical> From a technical perspective
[12:13] <Metrics> kishi: another option is to delete the lines you dont need anymore and run update :)
[12:13] <OerHeks> Kishi, open softwarecentre, edit sources and remove the ppa
[12:13] <dr_willis> datapolitical:  Im not clear on what sort of answer you are expecting really...
[12:14] <dr_willis> If you want a suggestion on what card/make to get for the lease amount of problems? or some other specific needs?
[12:14] <Kishi> The PPA might be useful, but only when its maintainer adds repositories for precise version for Ubuntu
[12:14] <Kishi> I guess I should bug him about that.
[12:15] <llutz> datapolitical: whatever a "killer graphicscard" might be, ask in #hardware
[12:15] <Discordian93> hi
[12:16] <Discordian93> I'm trying to open a file but my console gives me this error message:  error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:16] <Discordian93> I have libgnome2 installed
[12:17] <dr_willis> !find libgnome-2.so.0
[12:18] <knowj> Is there an alternative to Samba to mount a Ubuntu share on a OSx Device?
[12:18] <Metrics> run apt-get install libgnome2-0 libgnome2-dbg
[12:18] <knowj> or should Samba be sufficent?
[12:19] <dr_willis> knowj:  you could use NFS i imagine if you make nfs shares. Not sure if OSX can mount stuff via ssh.
[12:19] <knowj> dr_willis: Samba is working fine but I always thought it was a protocol more aimed at windows
[12:20] <dr_willis> knowj:  windows uses it. :)
[12:20] <dr_willis> often uses it badly. ;P
[12:20] <knowj> dr_willis: I just want an easy way to work on file on my dev box over the network and FTP is pretty useless
[12:21] <dr_willis> knowj:  ssh is our friend. ;)
[12:21] <knowj> dr_willis: SSH is great but I was always having to move files rather than working directly and I can't quite get on with VIM over textmate for dev work
[12:22] <dr_willis> I use the sshfs feature on ubuntu ;) no idea if osx has a similer thing
[12:22] <Metrics> owncloud! :D
[12:23] <soman> Hi all! Can I made a some script which downloads only necessary apps from specified repositories (not full repo)? WWhat tool can help me?

[12:29] <Discordian93> oh, okay, I see the problem kin the program's forum

[12:29] <Metrics> ah

[12:30] <dr_willis> MasKBoss:  whats your video card?
[12:30] <dr_willis> zlszk:  you searched the package manager listings yet?
[12:31] <Discordian93> thanks! that did the trick

[12:46] <sam_nazarko> I did
[12:46] <sam_nazarko> but Ubuntu decided to trash it
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> sam_nazarko: scary
[12:46] <sam_nazarko> anyway, that is beside the point, can it be restored or not?
[12:46] <sam_nazarko> it's damn weird, because the volume group showed as exported on boot, when i tried to import, zilcho, no logical volumes

[13:00] <hittt> im getting a "System program crash detected" every time i boot up
[13:00] <hittt> what can i do?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> hittt: which release ?
[13:01] <hittt> 12 04
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> hittt: did you upgrade from Oneiric?
[13:02] <hittt> which one was oneiric?
[13:02] <TandyUK> hi guys..
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> hittt: 11.10
[13:02] <desu> 11.10?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> hi TandyUK
[13:02] <hittt> no it was 11.04
[13:02] <TandyUK> having installed ubuntu onto a rr620 raid controller (and NOT rebooted)
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> hittt: did you clean install Precise?
[13:02] <desu> wasn't 11.04 natty?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> desu: yes
[13:02] <hittt> clean install?
[13:02] <desu> then 11.10 was oneric
[13:02] <TandyUK> how do i 'boot' into the newly installed os, and install the dkms drivers for the hardware, and finally rebuild the initrd image so that i can boot from this controller?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> hittt: delete the old release and install a new one a-fresh
[13:03] <hittt> ah
[13:03] <hittt> no i upgraded
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> TandyUK: you could use the liveCD and chroot to the installed OS
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> hittt: you have leapfrogged a release
[13:03] <MasKBoss> can someone help me with my issue?
[13:03] <hittt> i know :D
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> hittt: this will cause isues
[13:03] <TandyUK> ok i did that, but /dev seems a bit wierd while chrooted
[13:03] <MasKBoss> i'm really new to this... just installed ubuntu and after login in, only mouse pointer and background appears! i can access the terminal. can someone help me? something with the graphics maybe?
[13:04] <TandyUK> eg, o hard disks are listed at all, not even the ones which are visibile to the installer without tthe dkms module
[13:04] <hittt> i thought you can upgrade to an LTS no matter which release you are using
[13:04] <phix> MasKBoss: no panel
[13:04] <phix> ?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> hittt: no, only LTS to LTS or release to the next release
[13:04] <desu> MaskBoss, what version are you running?
[13:04] <MasKBoss> phix nothing..
[13:04] <phix> MasKBoss: hmmmm
[13:04] <MasKBoss> desu: the latest i guess.. downloaded it from the official website
[13:05] <hittt> oh, sorry i was using 10.10
[13:05] <hittt> but still not an lts
[13:05] <desu> MaskBoss, you wouldn't happen to have an AMD/Intel 2xxx 3xxx or 4xxx gpu would you?
[13:05] <hittt> ActionParsnip: well that just means that if you are using 11.04 or 10.10 you are practically locked out of upgrading normally
[13:05] <hittt> cause you have to leapfrog
[13:05] <m3pow> hello !
[13:06] <MasKBoss> desu i honestly don't know, i assembled this computer a few days ago from old computer parts. is there anyway i can check that on the terminal?
[13:06] <TandyUK> installing the dkms driver goes badly while chrooted
[13:06] <Sab3r> How can i delete all the shit from my SD memory card? I've tried "sudo gparted" but the partitions have a lock icon next to the name. Also tried fdisk, mut when im trying to format my new partition, it says that the device is busy or in use.
[13:06] <hittt> unmount it Sab3r
[13:06] <hittt> or use fuser
[13:06] <m3pow> any ideas why there is slooow disk access in Ubuntu 12.10 /
[13:07] <desu> MaskBoss, try lspci or lshw
[13:07] <Sab3r> hittt: will tryi, thanks
[13:07] <TandyUK> http://pastebin.com/GSRW95hZ
[13:07] <m3pow> in 12.04.1 was just fine, but after a fresh install of it. things got jerky
[13:07] <MasKBoss> desu, ok hold on a sec
[13:08] <micjan02> m3pow, you might try using latencytop to check. but i doubt it will give you any more information if you already suspect your disk
[13:09] <ddaeo> hi
[13:09] <m3pow> thank you micjan02
[13:09] <LucidLuna> hi ddaeo
[13:10] <ddaeo> is there any (easy) way to downgrade libs installed by ppa after removing those ppa ?
[13:10] <TandyUK> ActionParsnip: any suggestions why i cant load the dkms drivers while chrooted?
[13:10] <micjan02> ddaeo, yes, ppa-purge
[13:10] <micjan02> !ppa-purge | ddaeo
[13:11] <frankko> is there a repo for the 3.6 kernel (precise)
[13:11] <ddaeo> micjan02, ubot93 : thnaks
[13:11] <ddaeo> didn't know about it
[13:12] <cocomo> how do i remove this bit at the front of each terminal command i put . ali@ali-Aspire
[13:12] <phix> gang?
[13:12] <cocomo> i presume its my username@computer_name
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> TandyUK: not sure, seems weird
[13:12] <cocomo> can i get rid of it in the terminal
[13:12] <MasKBoss> desu, damn! now it's worst!!
[13:12] <cocomo> my laptop is so small and this takes alot of space
[13:12] <MasKBoss> it was like hanged up, so i just rebooted
[13:13] <jrib> cocomo: forever?
[13:13] <cocomo> no temporary would've me better.
[13:13] <jrib> cocomo: just set PS1 to whatever you like then
[13:13] <MasKBoss> now i can't even login! after entering the password a black screen shows with somethin but really fast, and then gets back to the login page. no errors are displayed...
[13:13] <MasKBoss> anyone?
[13:13] <cocomo> it will show the directory am in thou? right?
[13:14] <jrib> cocomo: only if you setup PS1 that way...
[13:14] <cocomo> PS1 is terminal variable ?
[13:14] <jrib> cocomo: you can see the PROMPTING section in « man bash » for special substitution characters you can use
[13:14] <jrib> cocomo: yes
[13:15] <cocomo> jrib: ty
[13:15] <phix> cocomo: yes
[13:15] <phix> cocomo: it has been for a while now
[13:15] <abyssin> hey, how long does it take to install ubuntu on a computer with 256 mb of ram?
[13:15] <desu> MaskBoss, what do you mean by worse?
[13:16] <desu> abyssin, I would recommend Damn Small Linux
[13:16] <abyssin> the installation seems to be stuck after the step where it is asked if there’s enough space, an internet connection, etc.
[13:16] <abyssin> @desu , ok, but that’s not what i asked
[13:17] <franxute> holaaaaaaa
[13:17] <franxute> eeeeeeeee
[13:17] <desu> abyssin, well I've never tried installation on a machine with less than 2Gb of ram, so I wouldn't know.
[13:17] <franxute> eeeeeeeeeee
[13:17] <franxute> eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[13:17] <franxute> eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[13:17] <franxute> eeeeeeeeeeee
[13:17] <Pici> franxute: stop
[13:17] <FloodBot1> franxute: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:17] <abyssin> @desu thank you :)
[13:17] <franxute> tu puta madre
[13:18] <LucidLuna> @pici he is swearing in spanish
[13:18] <MasKBoss> desu, before i was able to login, but after that only mouse pointer and background appeared. after i rebooted, now i can't even login! after entering the password it goes to a black screen really fast and gets back to the login screen, no errors showing..
[13:18] <Pici> LucidLuna: I'm very well aware.
[13:19] <desu> MaskBoss try a tty? ctrl+alt+f<1-6> f7 to go back to your normal display
[13:19] <MasKBoss> i saw that if i hit ctrl+alt+f1 i can access the console, want me to do something
[13:19] <desu> lscpi/lshw to see what gpu you have.
[13:19] <phix> what's wrong with franxute?
[13:19] <phix> LjL: <3
[13:19] <MasKBoss> desu, ah ok, lets try
[13:21] <MasKBoss> desu, ati radeon 9200 pro
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: could install xfce4 and use the xfce desktop
[13:23] <desu> I believe it's a similar issue as this: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-fix-your-amd-graphics-in-ubuntu-12-10/
[13:24] <desu> However, you have much older hardware, so I don't know if that little guide will be of use or not.
[13:24] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip thats the solution u gave me before, the problem is that after 2 days, the problem was this one. i can't even login!
[13:24] <MasKBoss> desu i'll give it a try
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: do your partitions have free space?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login there, you can run:  df -h   and check :)
[13:25] <phix> I like to press SYSRQ+B
[13:26] <phix> ALT+SYSREQ+B even
[13:26] <desu> sysreq?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> phix: can't like it that much if you get it wrong
[13:26] <phix> desu: print screen button
[13:26] <desu> ah
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> desu: i wouldnt press it
[13:26] <phix> desu: see how it saus Sysrq
[13:26] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip yeah, lots of free space..
[13:27] <phix> desu: no no, ALT+SYSRQ+S then ALT+SYSRQ+B is better :)
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: cool, if you make a fresh user, can you log in as that?
[13:27] <desu> actually on my current laptop sysreq and prntscrn are different keys altogether
[13:28] <desu> ( they're actually fn subfunctions of other keys )
[13:28] <phix> desu: really? hmmm well sysreq is the one to press
[13:28] <phix> desu: confusing
[13:28] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip and how do i make a fresh user? :S
[13:28] <desu> Does nothing.
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: sudo adduser newuser
[13:28] <phix> desu: get a 17"+ LCDed laptop next time for that full keyboard goodness
[13:29] <MasKBoss> desu i saw the tutorial. but i says to download, i dunno how i can do that only in the terminal..
[13:29] <desu> I'll just try it on my desktop later.
[13:29] <phix> desu: ok
[13:29] <desu> wget <link>
[13:29] <phix> desu: wget -c <link>
[13:30] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip yeah it worked... but now the same as before. only mouse pointer and background :/
[13:31] <MasKBoss> damn i gotta go
[13:31] <desu> Does the c really make much of a difference for small files?
[13:31] <cocomo> exit
[13:31] <MasKBoss> will u guys be here later on?
[13:32] <desu> MaskBoss I would recommend using an earlier version of ubuntu. I'm fairly certain it's just an issue with x11 not agreeing with your hardware.
[13:32] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip and desu tks for ur help for now. i'll be back to you later
[13:32] <MasKBoss> desu ok wich one?
[13:33] <TandyUK> ok well did everything i though i should - dkms add the module, built and installed it
[13:33] <desu> Great question, I wouldn't actually know since I use debian, kind of a dick for being here I guess.
[13:33] <TandyUK> and rebuilt initrd, rebooted
[13:33] <TandyUK> system starts to boot but i then get caps lock and scroll lock flashing at me, and no response from the machine
[13:33] <TandyUK> how do i tell ubuntu to boot without the stupid graphical crap, so i can actually see what is going on?
[13:34] <desu> esc while the plymouth thing is going
[13:34] <Pici> !text
[13:34] <desu> or any of the f keys I believe
[13:34] <desu> or that
[13:35] <TandyUK> i didnt even see a grub menu tbh
[13:35] <TandyUK> but will tap esc during next boot
[13:35] <Pici> TandyUK: We use grub2 by default now, so shift is the best option.
[13:35] <desu> no grub? did you use wubi to install within windows?
[13:37] <mar77i> hmm, nautilus currently seems to only let me search by place and file type...
[13:38] <TandyUK> ok lol so in text mode it boots just fine
[13:38] <mar77i> is there a way to get ALL o/ the search options?
[13:40] <lolek> hello all, how can i set up route for specific ip through specific gw, for example, from my machine i'm connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> and this ip should be accesible through for example; <IP_ADDRESS> (the routing will be set up on my local pc)
[13:42] <TandyUK> route add -host <IP_ADDRESS>/32 gw <IP_ADDRESS> metric 20 dev eth0
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> lolek: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html
[13:43] <kssubu> hi
[13:43] <phix> lolek: man route
[13:43] <phix> kssubu: sup!
[13:43] <lolek> TandyUK: thank You
[13:43] <kssubu> can i install adobe products on ubuntu 12.04
[13:43] <TandyUK> lolek: read the link ActionParsnip posted too
[13:43] <cfhowlett> !wine|kssubu:
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> kssubu: check the appdb for compatibility in WIne
[13:44] <phix> TandyUK: you dont really need to specify metric though or dev
[13:44] <lolek> TandyUK: yeah just watching it
[13:44] <phix> kssubu: there is a port for adobe reader
[13:44] <mar77i> did my question reach #ubuntu?
[13:44] <phix> kssubu: and flash
[13:44] <TandyUK> you dont 'need' to probably 99% of the time, but sometimes you do :)
[13:45] <desu> mar77i what's your question?
[13:45] <phix> TandyUK: sure, if you have multiple interface cards in the same subnet, of course that might break a few things
[13:45] <phix> mar77i: I saw it
[13:46] <kssubu> is flash pro or flash player
[13:46] <phix> cfhowlett: dont be silly, there are linux ports for adobe products
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> kssubu: flash player is available in Linux
[13:46] <phix> ActionParsnip: there sure is
[13:46] <cjae> its there bugs with mount.cifs -V 5.1? on 12.04?
[13:46] <cfhowlett> phix: still waiting for that adobe creative suite for linux ..
[13:46] <phix> cjae: what issues are you having? it works fine for me
[13:46] <rudivs> how can I upgrade from a liveusb? under software sources I can see options for livecd or livedvd, but nothing for liveusb...
[13:46] <nmlj> what you'd use for video downloader for ubuntu 11.10?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> phix: not for long though :)
[13:47] <phix> cfhowlett: did he even mention that product?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> nmlj: are you going to rip the audio out?
[13:47] <cjae> phix: cannot connect with either smbclient or mount command
[13:47] <nmlj> nope
[13:47] <kssubu> i am a 3d moduler
[13:47] <kssubu> i have maya
[13:47] <phix> cjae: connect to what?
[13:47] <nmlj> i want download a video
[13:47] <kssubu> i need photoshop
[13:47] <phix> cjae: are you using dns name, netbios name, IP
[13:47] <phix> ?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> nmlj: there are addons and extensions for web browsers
[13:47] <phix> kssubu: GIMP
[13:48] <desu> Why not use GIMP?
[13:48] <nmlj> Video downloader helper?
[13:48] <phix> desu: ActionParsnip and yourself are my echo tonight :)
[13:48] <cjae> phix: nas4free, I cannot get stab, mount to work but I can clearly see it in my file manager. IP or netbios name
[13:48] <desu> phix, that's ok.
[13:48] <cfhowlett> kssubu: look into inkscape as well
[13:48] <phix> cjae: what is nas4free?
[13:48] <cfhowlett> kssubu: look into or perhaps blender
[13:48] <mar77i> desu: I think something's not quite right with my nautilus. it only displays two search options in the extended menu.
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> nmlj: yes, there are things for web browsers, makes life easier
[13:49] <cjae> phix: NAS based on freebsd with a webmin gui
[13:49] <phix> cfhowlett: blender <3  but that is for 3D stuff
[13:49] <phix> cjae: ummm that is ubuntu related?
[13:49] <desu> ( though if you really need photoshop you can try wine[I've gotten it properly working in the past])
[13:49] <Danawar> Hey ##ubuntu i am trying to install a new php i have added a ppa but when i try to update and upgrade i get this! http://pastebin.com/J9wnFcfz
[13:49] <nmlj> ok i'll try it
[13:49] <cjae> phix: no but I cannot connect to it with my ubuntu machine
[13:49] <phix> desu: or you can use VirtualBox
[13:49] <desu> mar77i, oh I have little experience with nautilus.
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> kssubu: it may run in wine, check the appdb for compatibility, gimp will run cleaner
[13:49] <phix> cjae: can you ping it?
[13:50] <desu> phix, I would have suggested that, but VMs can be a pain if you have older hardware.
[13:50] <FrazG> kssubu: or maybe krita ?
[13:50] <cjae> phix: I can clearly see the shares in my filemanager on ubuntu client. I can use smbclient -L and see the shares plain as day, plus I  can use them from a windows machine
[13:51] <cjae> phix: also the NAS box is mine and is like two feet from me so its not like its someone elses
[13:51] <phix> cjae: so are you using -o username=theUserName ?
[13:52] <phix> or have you enabled guest/.
[13:52] <phix> ?
[13:52] <cjae> phix: also I have a NFS shares that is working corectly on it
[13:52] <norbique> hello
[13:52] <phix> norbique: hai
[13:53] <cjae> phix: I have one created user on the NAS that I can use the credentials for on windows and it works quite well
[13:53] <norbique> sorry to interrupt, just looking for someone who can help me with screensaver in Ubuntu 12.04LTS
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> norbique: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/   works on 12.04
[13:54] <Danawar> Hey all I am still having issues trying to install a new php i have added a ppa but when i try to update and upgrade i get this! http://pastebin.com/J9wnFcfz
[13:54] <phix> cjae: samba3 or 4?
[13:54] <cjae> phix: I have tried setting stab entries and using a credentials file both which give me either no such device or dir or permissions insufficient errors
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Danawar: you may need something to satisfy the deps of the packages, thats why they get held back
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Danawar: i'd contact the ppa maintainer
[13:55] <norbique> ActionParsnip: thank you!
[13:55] <desu> Ummm not necessarily an ubuntu question, but any IDEs anyone knows about that I should check out?
[13:55] <phix> ok I am on a coffee breal now
[13:55] <norbique> I was trying to set up electricsheep, but no success, I remember using the screensaver before had no issues at all
[13:57] <desu> phix, breal?
[13:58] <DiogoPOLISHOP> hello...I need to find some brazilian chanel around here, can any one help me?
[13:58] <phax> I have a Ubuntu installation on /dev/sdb5 which I want to boot into but the grub 2 update there failed. I have booted using Grub Disk but want to boot into the Ubuntu installation so I can fix the GRUB 2 config, any ideas?
[13:58] <cjae> phix: sorry about that Samba 3.6.9
[13:58] <kssubu> thank you my friends thank you very much
[13:59] <DiogoPOLISHOP> hello...I need to find some brazilian chanel around here, can any one help me?

[14:01] <desu>  /msg livingdaylight?
[14:03] <Guest4340> lol
[14:03] <LucidLuna> if i am on a dynamic IP, could I still contribute to a regional mirror?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> LucidLuna: have your IP resolved to a name. Use a service like no-ip or dydns :)
[14:04] <dsa> hello
[14:07] <dsa> you guys know of any good app that backups/restores system state like a snapshot on a virtual machine?
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> dsa  there's rsnapshot, but i havent tried it
[14:08] <dsa> something that backs up/restores system settings, files and services
[14:09] <dsa> MonkeyDust, thanks ill have a look at it
[14:10] <dsa> yesterday i ruined somethings on my system.. made some bad installs/removes which led me to reinstall ubuntu
[14:10] <usr13_> dsa: learning experience(s)....
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> dsa  always make sure to backup, before you start experimenting
[14:11] <Erealz> hey everyone
[14:11] <seednode> Heyo
[14:11] <cfhowlett> Erealz: greetings
[14:12] <Erealz> i love linux and made the big leap over 3 years ago now
[14:12] <Erealz> but been playing on and off b4 then aswell
[14:12] <seednode> congrats, I guess?
[14:12] <seednode> Is this leading to a question?
[14:12] <seednode> OR just saying hi
[14:12] <Erealz> yea
[14:12] <usr13_> dsa:  I find only the need to backup personal files.
[14:13] <Erealz> id like to know if anyone have been successful rooting android on linux
[14:13] <Erealz> i have not been
[14:13] <seednode> Sorry, no smartphone here.
[14:13] <seednode> But I think there are tools to do it.
[14:13] <desu> isn't there channel for that?
[14:13] <Erealz> if you know of it
[14:13] <auronandace> Erealz: try #android (if indeed it is an android)
[14:13] <Erealz> #what the name
[14:13] <bitnumus> hi can someone tell me where shell prompt name is stored? as in i created a new user with 'useradd' and there is no name before the prompt
[14:14] <usr13_> Erealz: I find that Android phones work pretty well the way they are.
[14:14] <desu> .bashrc
[14:14] <dsa> i need to backup system state/services/apps/settings
[14:14] <seednode> bitnumus: To edit the prompt, change a line under ~.bashrc
[14:14] <Erealz> usr13 you miss the the point then of rooting
[14:14] <Erealz> why wouldnt you want to
[14:14] <Erealz> yes it works well
[14:14] <desu> It's a bit tricky to sorth through the mess of bashrc, so I suggest looking at a guide online.
[14:14] <dsa> not speciefic directories only
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> bitnumus: should be in PS1
[14:14] <desu> ( while you're there you should also customize it a bit )
[14:15] <seednode> desu: bashrc doesn't seem like a mess to me.
[14:15] <Erealz> but android is for the nerdy more tech savy people in my opinion
[14:15] <seednode> Mine's like 7 lines
[14:15] <desu> seehnode seriously?
[14:15] <seednode> And more than half of that is aliases I made.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: its no more techy than other mobile OSes. You install apps and use them.
[14:15] <Erealz> and i dont know about you but i like being able to install features on my phone
[14:15] <seednode> Mine has... Two lines outside of my aliases
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: you can do that on iPhone too.....
[14:16] <desu> copy the one from /etc/skel/.bashrc?
[14:16] <Erealz> iphone for yuppies dicks
[14:16] <seednode> Oh, right, I'm thinking of the ~/.bashrc
[14:16] <rober> greetings everyone, is a pleasure to be here with you :)
[14:16] <usr13_> Erealz: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[14:16] <Erealz> i dontlike there comunity there are all mean
[14:16] <bitnumus> hmm, thanks ActionParsnip  and seednode but i think the user i created (without -m) is a little screwed
[14:16] <bitnumus> i tried removing using 'userdel' and readding with -m
[14:16] <seednode> My .bashrc in /etc/skel/.bashrc is 4 lines
[14:16] <bitnumus> would that cause issues?
[14:16] <desu> ...Errrr
[14:16] <usr13_> Erealz: (The video is priceless!:)
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: yes but it does what you said, you can install apps.
[14:17] <desu> give me a sec
[14:17] <Erealz> i can install apps in a 25 phone buddy
[14:17] <Erealz> that dosnt mean it better then an android
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: exactly, so how is that being 'tech savvy'?
[14:17] <Erealz> and you aguement is laughable
[14:17] <dsa> so guys by backing up / entire root i'll be able to recover everything to the way it was yeah?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: i'm not making an arguement, i'm not seeing how installing apps is 'tech savvy'
[14:18] <usr13_> dsa: Just clone it.
[14:18] <dsa> usr13, clone is the command?
[14:19] <Erealz> no
[14:19] <Erealz> android
[14:19] <Erealz> is
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: especially when 'yupie dicks' can do the same thing on iphone
[14:19] <Erealz> the plat form
[14:19] <Pici> !offtopic
[14:19] <Erealz> ioscommunity is stupid
[14:19] <bitnumus> By default, using 'useradd -m username' should it have a shell prompt name ?
[14:19] <bitnumus> in .bashrc
[14:19] <cfhowlett> !ot
[14:19] <dhanasekaran> HI Guys where i can find dhcpd logs i am using isc-dhcp-server please guide me
[14:19] <Pici> Erealz: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: stll doesn't answer me, but its offtopic here
[14:20] <usr13_> dsa: No, it's just an exact image of a drive.  You just put two identical drives in your system, clone to the slave. If anything happens to the primary drive, switch them.
[14:20] <desu> seednode, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1394526/
[14:20] <dhanasekaran> HI Guys where i can find dhcpd logs i am using isc-dhcp-server please guide me
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> dhanasekaran: look in /var/log is a good start
[14:20] <dsa> usr13, oh =/
[14:20] <Erealz> exactly relax
[14:21] <Erealz> it not serious
[14:21] <Erealz> you takeing it personal do you work for apple or somthing
[14:21] <Erealz> oh
[14:21] <usr13_> dsa: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/2-methods-to-clone-your-linux-hard-drive/
[14:21] <Erealz> you own an iphone
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: no, i don't. Your statement just makes no sense
[14:21] <dsa> i was more looking for system restore option
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Erealz: i use android, but you knew that
[14:21] <Erealz> so you say
[14:22] <Erealz> but
[14:22] <dsa> like the snapshot example of  virtualbox
[14:22]  * ActionParsnip moves on
[14:22] <Erealz> other say the same i do
[14:22] <desu> seednode, try that one, and look at this for playing around with bashrc https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash
[14:22] <Erealz> so i know im not the only one
[14:22] <Erealz> so i  guess it a matter of opinion
[14:23] <Pici> Erealz: This channel is for Ubuntu support only.  If you want to chit-chat, there is #ubuntu-offtopic.
[14:23] <usr13_> dsa: Cloning is the ultimate system restore option, IMO. It's much simplier.  It is a complete snapshot, personal files and all.
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> desu: how big is your vbox disk file?
[14:23] <Erealz> pici
[14:23] <Erealz> someone chit chatting with me
[14:23] <Bobbie> Hello, I have a question about ubunut :o is this the right channel for that ?
[14:23] <desu> ActionParsnip, I don't have a virtual box...
[14:23] <usr13_> dsa: Are you using vbox?
[14:23] <Erealz> you saying i cant reply
[14:23] <dsa> usr13, yeah i know i used ghost for that before but thats not the idea
[14:23] <Pici> Erealz: You're both offtopic. ActionParsnip has stopped, please do the same.
[14:24] <Erealz> np iv already had to say what i had to
[14:24] <dsa> usr13, no i'm not
[14:24] <Bobbie> I deleted my ubuntu partition and now I cant boot into my windows 7 OS, I keep getting this GRUB rescue screen for some reason
[14:24] <usr13_> dsa: I just keep /home/ on a separate partition.
[14:24] <dsa> i was just saying like a snapshot works on a virtual machine
[14:24] <Erealz> do you mind stoping telling me this im quite aware of this. thanks
[14:24] <bitnumus> ActionParsnip, i cannot even use tab completion on my new user, any idea why that would be? it doesnt feel like it was created right
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Bobbie: need to run the windows repair function
[14:25] <Bobbie> how ? :o I cannot even boot a cd
[14:25] <Bobbie> the only thing I got to work from a cd is damn small linux
[14:25] <Bobbie> hoping that might give me the possibility to run something else
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> bitnumus: copy the one from /root then uncomment the bottom 3 lines, then run: source ~/.bashrc
[14:25] <Bobbie> I cant run my windows 7 recovery disk for some reason
[14:25] <narendra_> how can i access ext4 drive of ubuntu10.04 in win7 64 bit???  any free software or system setting???
[14:25] <cfhowlett> Bobbie: you have the windows CD?  change your bios to boot from the cd and repair away
[14:25] <dsa> i'm worried about system state services and settings
[14:25] <Bobbie> and I cant run my ubuntu cd either
[14:26] <Bobbie> yeah I have a recovery disk but it wont boot it, grub rescue says that it doesnt recognize the file system
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: what happens when you try the ubuntu CD?
[14:26] <cfhowlett> Bobbie: could your optical drive have failed?
[14:26] <dsa> i dont belive /home is responsible for all that
[14:26] <Bobbie> nothing it also says it doesnt recognize the filesystem
[14:26] <bitnumus> ActionParsnip, what would be the reason it didnt create it right in the first place any ideas? there is a .bashrc and home DIR etc, would tab completion be something stored in .bashrc too?
[14:26] <dsa> right?
[14:26] <usr13_> dsa: No it's not.  But what type of customized system state, services and settings to you have?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> bitnumus: its told to start in ~/.bashrc   you may find one is there, just needs the lines uncommenting
[14:27] <Bobbie> I mean I can try to run the ubuntu cd again and see what happens if you'd like but last time it didnt do anything
[14:27] <usr13_> dsa: ... beyond default ones.
[14:27] <dsa> now it's like virgin just installed
[14:27] <bitnumus> hmm
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: black screen at boot?
[14:27] <dsa> but thats the idea for now
[14:27] <Bobbie> yes
[14:27] <funky1> anyone experience with mplayer and dvb-s disecq settings in channels.conf?
[14:27] <funky1>  everything on disecq 0 works fine but none on disecq 1, when i run mplayer with -v i see it does not pick up the proper disecq setting, the ones that should be disecq 1 appear as disecq 0, e.g.: SAT, NUM: 53, NUM_FIELDS: 6, NAME: on8, FREQ: 12515000, SRATE: 8888000, POL: H, DISEQC: 0 PIDS:  200  210  0 , entry in channels conf is: on8:12515:h:1:8888:200:210:2 so i thought the disecq setting comes after the polarization setting,...
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: then that's something, not noting
[14:27] <Bobbie> grub rescue then pops up
[14:27] <dsa> usr13, probably i wont mess it up again but just in case..
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: what video chip do you use?
[14:28] <Bobbie> errmm my laptop uses an nvidia m330 or something like that if I recall correctly
[14:28] <dsa> usr13, and when i start installing and setting up my stuff ill do the same if all is good
[14:28] <Bobbie> ah
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: have you tried the boot option: nomodeset
[14:28] <Bobbie> I got the ubuntu disc to boot
[14:28] <Bobbie> its booting
[14:28] <Bobbie> the ubuntu disc
[14:28] <usr13_> dsa: If you did get some sort of system restore going for yourself, that would be about the time you'd learn enough not to hose your system anymore.    I tried to install Ubuntu on my win7 drive and now I have no MBR or GRUB.  Win 7 via CD does not see the C:\.  Cannot fix mbr, and I have no linux experience.  Help? Please?
[14:32] <dsa> i mean i messed up probably could repair all that but i thought it would be cleaner to start off fresh
[14:32] <Bobbie> I dont quite get what you mean with that actionparsnip
[14:33] <dsa> usr13, yeah thats why i changed to zentyal
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !webmin | dsa
[14:33] <usr13_> dsa: If you hose your system up, it is a learning experience, plain and simple.
[14:33] <Bobbie> oh gee, you weren't kiddin CD's are extremely slow.
[14:33] <dsa> right it is
[14:34] <Bobbie> Ill just grab a drink Im right back
[14:34] <rober> bobbie :  Thats why l prefer booting from my usb pendriver  :P
[14:34] <dsa> so you are saying there is no system backup working on ubuntu
[14:34] <dsa> like a system restore on windows
[14:34] <dsa> ?
[14:34] <yellabs-r2> does anyone know how ubuntu one interface was coded ? it looks a bit odd
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> dsa: you can manually backup
[14:35] <dsa> shadow copy
[14:35] <yellabs-r2> not gtk i guess
[14:35] <usr13_> I just dont think there is an automated app that you are thinking of.
[14:35] <dsa> manually backup what ? individual config files?
[14:35] <Bobbie> Im back
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> yellabs-r2: I believe it's python based, look at the deps on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[14:35] <Bobbie> lol
[14:35] <Bobbie> usb pendriver
[14:35] <usr13_> Having backups is basically the same.
[14:35] <dsa> ActionParsnip,
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> dsa: you can do the whole OS or just some folders etc
[14:36] <Bobbie> ah my ubuntu cd booted
[14:36] <dsa> whole OS yeah thats what i was asking for :D
[14:36] <SierraAR> How do I find what my computer's local IP address is?
[14:36] <Bobbie> I can choose between trying and installing ubunty
[14:36] <SierraAR> Using ubuntu 12.04
[14:36] <dsa> ActionParsnip, like a snapshot on a virtual machine right?
[14:36] <Bobbie> ubuntu* should I just pick trying and can I fix my problem from there ?
[14:36] <rober> sierraar:  ifconfig on terminal
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Bobbie: you can kickoff the installer from the liveCD
[14:36] <SierraAR> rober: Thanks
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> dsa: sure, just copy the data in a liveCD and it's good to go
[14:37] <usr13_> dsa: You can backup separate partitions or filesystems such as  /home/  or / or  /boot/
[14:37] <rober> SierraAR: you from argentina?
[14:37] <dsa> ActionParsnip, now im lost :s
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> dsa: its why a separate /home partition is advantageous
[14:37] <Bobbie> actionparsnip: should I choose "try ubuntu" and can I fix my boot problem from there or should I install it to fix it (which I assume takes a hell of a lot longer"
[14:37] <wukon> hi,i'm a newer
[14:38] <usr13_> dsa: The short answer is   "no"
[14:38] <rober> bobbie:  you can fix it from  "try ubuntu"
[14:38] <Bobbie> okay
[14:38] <dsa> usr13, right =/
[14:38] <SierraAR> I have apache2/php5/etc installed and it's loading fine on my machine using my local ip, but other machines on the same network can't connect - Connection timed out
[14:38] <Bobbie> I just want to avoid stupid mistakes, which is why my questions may seem dumb
[14:39] <bitnumus> ActionParsnip, i did as you said, but it seems no commands work, i cannot run 'source ~/.bashrc'
[14:39] <bitnumus> -sh: 2: source: not found
[14:39] <yellabs-r2> SierraAR have you tried local adres ?
[14:39] <tga> greetings, I could use a hand with setting up cherokee
[14:40] <tga> it works fine from the default location, but virtual dirs download php files instead of interpreting them
[14:40] <SierraAR> yellabs-r2, If by local address you mean like <IP_ADDRESS> then that's what we were attempting to connect to
[14:40] <Bobbie> okay, ubuntu has loaded. where do I go from here ? :oi
[14:40] <usr13_> dsa: We do not have a "system restore" [AFIK] (comparable to what MS Windows has).  And yes, I know that you can get a Linux system into an un-reparable state (just like you can a MS Windows system).
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> bitnumus: is the file there, you can run:    ls -a    to check
[14:40] <yellabs-r2> ok
[14:40] <dsa> funniest thing i remeber from yesterday was even though i removed zentyal when shutting down there were still stuff there sttoping related to it i think modules XD
[14:40] <rober> bobbie: what do you need to do?
[14:41] <bitnumus> which file? i can edit .bashrc yes
[14:41] <Bobbie> well since I deleted my ubuntu partition I boot into grub rescue
[14:41] <Bobbie> while I want to boot into windows 7
[14:41] <dsa> usr13, yeah i know my system was kind of broken not fubar
[14:41] <usr13_> dsa: ... BUT, doing a fresh install and leaving /home/  as is... well, that is a pretty good alternative.
[14:41] <dsa> just i wanted a fresh install since i didnt do much to it
[14:42] <Bobbie> so I dont quite know how I fix that from here
[14:42] <usr13_> dsa: See my PM.
[14:42] <MaxFrames> hello
[14:43] <MaxFrames> I have a series of complicated problems with ubuntu 12.04, I am testing on a virtual machine.
[14:43] <MaxFrames> the first problem is that on the logon screen only the english keyboard is available, and I need the Italian keyboard
[14:43] <rober> bobbie :  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[14:43] <MaxFrames> once I login, I have both available, but no joy in the logon window
[14:45] <MaxFrames> I have already tried to select Italian in the regional settings and choose "apply globally" but it does not work
[14:45] <rober> bobbie : l had a similar problem,  l fixed it  with boot-repair  :)
[14:45] <Bobbie> ah lol thanks Ill try it out and see where I get
[14:45] <Bobbie> Ill update on here whether it worked/works or not xd
[14:46] <MaxFrames> so I do I choose a different keyboard in the logon window?
[14:46] <rober> bobbie :  Cool, good luck buddy, and never give up.
[14:47] <MaxFrames> anyone?
[14:48] <ania_> yes
[14:49] <rober> maxframes :  go to "keyboard layout" and change it from there
[14:51] <MaxFrames> doesn't work... I have already selected Italian as default for all screens
[14:52] <Bobbie> oh awesome
[14:52] <Bobbie> it's fixed @
[14:52] <Bobbie> !
[14:52] <rober> bobbie :  cool
[14:52] <Bobbie> many thanks rober :) and actionparsnip
[14:53] <rober> bobbie : you can now send us $ 500 to our paypal accounts  :D.         KIDDING!!!!
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> MaxFrames: you can set it in /etc/default/keyboard
[14:53] <Bobbie> xD
[14:55] <rober> maxframes :   l'd try this    http://askubuntu.com/questions/155424/changing-keyboard-layout-in-ubuntu-12-04-server-command-line-interface
[14:55] <sporkboy> any suggestions on limiting usage on a browser to 30 minutes? right now, it auto-starts chrome, and starts it again when it's closed. it works great, except people hog the public computer a LOT.
[14:57] <JuJuBee> I am having problems with process /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 getting up to 100% frequently. It seems related to Rhythmbox and or EasyTag. When using Rhythmbox if I alter the mp3 tags I see this process spike. If I use EasyTag it always spikes and the system gets slow.
[14:57] <tga> anyone running Cherokee?
[14:57] <tga> for some reason I can't get it to serve php out of vdirs
[14:58] <Pici> tga: You could try asking in either #ubuntu-server or #cherokee if you don't get a response here.
[14:58] <tga> ubuntu-server might be an idea, #cherokee is pretty much dead
[14:59] <makillo> hi
[14:59] <usc911> Hi guys can anyone point me in the direction of making a portable ubuntu flash drive on OSX? I need something that I can install to and preserve files etc... on it
[15:00] <makillo> I hate osx i'm sorry ;)
[15:00] <rober> makillo:  theres only one thing l hate more then osx, its ms-windows   xD
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> usc911: use unetbootin
[15:00] <makillo> And all apple products  except the ipod
[15:01] <LapperT> Does anyone here know how wine handles alt-tabbing of fullscreen programs in ubuntu?
[15:01] <makillo> Actionparsnip is right
[15:02]  * ania__
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> LapperT: I'd ask in #winehq too
[15:03] <LapperT> Okey :)
[15:03] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[15:03] <bitnumus> ActionParsnip, Is this related to my issue, the /bin/sh ?    >     main:x:1000:1000::/home/main:/bin/sh
[15:04] <desu> makillo, I agree with the Apple bit. I've never seen such utter shit being sold for quite so high.
[15:04] <desu> well except for maybe ambergris...
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> bitnumus: mine's: andy:x:1000:1000:andy,,,:/home/andy:/bin/bash
[15:05] <bitnumus> so what could cause this ?
[15:05] <bitnumus> im lost, i only used 'user add'
[15:05] <desu> useradd <username>
[15:05] <bitnumus> yesyes with -m
[15:05] <llutz> bitnumus: next time use "adduser"
[15:05] <makillo> Or adduser
[15:06] <[awal]> how to make ipv6 in ubuntu?
[15:06] <bitnumus> llutz, should i user 'userdel' and do that ?
[15:06] <bitnumus> and could you actually explain what its done wrong at all ?
[15:07] <llutz> bitnumus: sorry i haven't followed you issue. what is wrong withthat user?
[15:07] <llutz> your*
[15:07] <[awal]> how to make ipv6
[15:07] <makillo> Desu : i think apple is more superficial than technological
[15:07] <bitnumus> everything lol, it has no shell prompt name, tab completion doesnt work and other simple things
[15:07] <bitnumus> just doesnt 'feel' right
[15:07] <llutz> bitnumus: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash main
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> llutz: nice :)
[15:08] <desu> makillo, related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFeC25BM9E0
[15:08] <bitnumus> i coudlnt even use 'logout'
[15:08] <bitnumus> let me try that!
[15:08] <llutz> bitnumus: logout/relogin after that
[15:08] <bitnumus> yay :)
[15:09] <bitnumus> so what did that command actually do llutz  ?
[15:09] <bitnumus> can i blame 'useradd' for this ?
[15:09] <llutz> bitnumus: changes your default shell into bin/bash instead of dash
[15:09] <llutz> bitnumus: you can :)
[15:09] <doomgiver> is linux mint "lisa" similar to ubuntu, somehow?
[15:09] <bitnumus> well thanks alot :)
[15:10] <llutz> bitnumus: either read "man useradd" very carefully or simply use "adduser" next time
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> doomgiver: mint is based on ubuntu, similarly how ubuntu is based on debian
[15:10] <bitnumus> yes, i have read this before, forgot
[15:10] <bitnumus> ty also ActionParsnip
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> doomgiver: mint has a completely seaparate supoprt network
[15:10] <llutz> bitnumus: adduser is a script around useradd doing stuff "right"
[15:11] <makillo> Thats horrible , because everyone around me thinks that Apple is simply the best innovators ....what the hell !!!
[15:11] <doomgiver> ActionParsnip: so, the packages and methods i use in ubuntu (methods = list/series of actions) will work in ubunut?
[15:11] <makillo> (I'
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> doomgiver: more than likely yes
[15:11] <makillo> I'm french
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> makillo: who cares what others think, use what you like :)
[15:12] <desu> Apple has somehow managed to steal everyone else's idea, add a twist, and then get away with it in court.
[15:12] <desu> While robbing people blind, I honestly don't know why people buy that shit.
[15:12] <doomgiver> thank you! ActionParsnip, you have saved the day!
[15:12] <IdleOne> !language | desu
[15:12] <doomgiver> desu: we need more apple haters, so we can burn them in our cauldron of hate
[15:13] <IdleOne> Also, I don't see what Apple has to do with Ubuntu support. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics
[15:14] <makillo> Thank you actionparsnip , at least I know I'm not the only one thinking like that ;) ... Is it the same case in USA ?
[15:14] <ania__> well ubuntu support should help apple users
[15:14] <desu> no
[15:14] <ania__> what do you mean no
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> makillo: no idea, I'm from the UK
[15:14] <auronandace> ania__: ubuntu support is for help with ubuntu
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> ania__: as long as it is ubuntu on apple hardware, yes
[15:14] <DJones> !ot
[15:15] <desu> ania_ no
[15:15] <doomgiver> too many hardliners
[15:15] <ania__> yes but once you put ubuntu on international space station or mars rover ubuntu support should help you with software issues
[15:16] <ania__> that means not more or less they need to know everything everywhere
[15:16] <ania__> :D
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> ania__: yes, it is then ubuntu.
[15:17] <ania__> ActionParsnip: you are still best help on this channel
[15:17] <ania__> i dont know how you do that
[15:18] <ania__> it is goint to turn out you are like SIRI ......nice sexy lady in front of 12 screens ( like big bang theory ) :P
[15:18] <DJones> !ot | ania__
[15:19] <IdleOne> ania__: This channel is for Ubuntu support. Please stop with the chit chat
[15:19] <doomgiver> wow... idlers with too much time
[15:19] <phix> doomgiver: where?
[15:20] <makillo> Can someone tell me a technologie that apple is the only one to have
[15:21] <ipays> how to root login command ?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> ipays: sudo -i    in a terminal
[15:21] <ania__> dont need to .....use sudo comand than yours password
[15:21] <DJones> !root | ipays
[15:22] <MasKBoss> ActionParsnip u there?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> MasKBoss: aye
[15:23] <ipays> sudo: Illegal option -i
[15:23] <k1l> ipays: can you show the command? which ubuntu are you using?
[15:23] <desu> ipays sudo su
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> ipays: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[15:23] <k1l> desu: STOP
[15:23] <desu> aww
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> desu: sudo -i   uses the user's environment. sudo su    uses roots, not ideal
[15:24] <desu> oh boo, you're no fun
[15:25] <jpds> ActionParsnip: No, -i resets the environment.
[15:25] <ipays> ActionParsnip : sh: lsb_release: command not found
[15:25] <chisholm> Is it possible to control where the installer installs grub? (Ubuntu 12.04)
[15:25] <jpds> desu: We're not here to have fun.
[15:25] <DX099> hello, even though I defined policies in "Privacy", I still see some files and folders that shouldn't be there in "Recent" bookmark in Nautilus
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> ipays: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[15:25] <k1l> ipays: this is a ubuntu support. dont come here if you dont have a ubuntu (like i told you the last days)
[15:26] <ipays> ActionParsnip : SULinux release 1.5 (Server) Kernel \r on an \m
[15:26] <k1l> ipays: so please use the SULinux support
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> ipays: then you are using suse. support for that is in #suse
[15:27] <desu> k1l does that mean I should leave since I'm on debian, or can I still stick around to provide assistance and educate myself?
[15:27] <dv310p3r> so i'm trying to "watch" the /tmp directory. "sudo watch -n1 /tmp" and I get sh: 1: /tmp: Permission denied. I don't understand.
[15:27] <jpds> SULinux looks like RedHat.
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> jpds: http://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo  shows it leaves environments variables the same
[15:27] <llutz> dv310p3r: watch watches commands, not directories
[15:27] <jpds> desu: sudo watch -n1 ls /tmp

[15:29] <harrypotter2> how to convert nrg to iso
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> harrypotter2: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-convert-a-nrg-nero-file-to-a-iso-file-in-ubuntu.html
[15:29] <usr13> k1l: Well, you can switch to a root shell in Ubuntu.
[15:29] <k1l> desu: and if the user runs SULinux and cant use sudo and stuff, why the heck is he not asking in their support? so stop being that way
[15:29] <IdleOne> harrypotter2: install nrg2iso
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> harrypotter2: http://www.bing.com/search?q=nrg+to+iso+ubuntu&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IE8SRC   all I did
[15:29] <opalepatrick> where is Trash located on 12.10 - would like to rm the contents - cant find it at .local/share/
[15:29] <usr13> k1l: ... or su
[15:29] <desu> rm has no trash, it's gone.
[15:30] <IdleOne> !trash | opalepatrick
[15:30] <harrypotter2> installed but when i am going to convert that to iso saying seems like already an iso
[15:30] <k1l> usr13: right you _can_ . but if you should and should ruin your rights settings in ~ is the other question. most user are fine with sudo
[15:31] <ogalchon1> hi
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> harrypotter2: what does the 'file' command, say it is?
[15:31] <opalepatrick> cheers IdleOne
[15:32] <ogalchon1> :-)
[15:32] <harrypotter2> It seems that win7.nrg is already an ISO 9660 image
[15:32] <harrypotter2> [Aborting conversion]
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> harrypotter2: then there isn't anything to do
[15:33] <usr13> k1l: You won't ruing your settings.
[15:34] <usr13> k1l: You can ruin just as much with sudo  ;0
[15:34] <IdleOne> usr13: Drop it please
[15:34] <usr13> IdleOne: YOU DROP IT!

[15:41] <ogalchon1> anyone can help? :-)
[15:42] <itu1> I can't find my model, (stylus tx133), though i can find a similar one (stylus tx 121)
[15:42] <Cottus> itu1: are you in the optical group ( or the appropriate one , like scanner ) ?
[15:42] <Cottus> (you can see it in /etc/group
[15:43] <chisholm> ogalchon1: one option might be to use chrome instead of chromium
[15:43] <ogalchon1> can i use chrome in ubuntu as well?
[15:43] <Cottus> itu1: neither here http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=epson
[15:44] <chisholm> ogalchon1: yeah, just go to the google website to get it
[15:44] <OerHeks> ogalchon1, sure, download the linux version from the website
[15:44] <reindeernix> ogalchon1: You can download a deb file from Google
[15:44] <itu1> I dont seem to bein scanner.

[15:46] <Cottus> !sudo > proka
[15:46] <itu1> When I try to open any scan utility (like Image Scan! for Linux) it just stalls and waits, until I unplug the usb cable.
[15:46] <itu1> Then it tells me it couldnt connect.
[15:46] <itu1> It used to work before
[15:46] <proka> Cottus, Omg. Thank you very much. I feel so stupid now xD
[15:46] <itu1> Like a month or 2 ago
[15:47] <Cottus> proka:  np
[15:47] <Virunga_> llutz: chisholm thank you.
[15:48] <DX099> hello, even though I defined policies in "Privacy", I still see some files and folders that shouldn't be there in "Recent" bookmark in Nautilus ?
[15:49] <Cottus> itu1: there is a log , /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages which gathers messages from when a device is connected
[15:49] <Cottus> it might have interesting info
[15:49] <itu1> Opened /var/log/syslog
[15:49] <itu1> what should i be looking for?
[15:50] <Cottus> well i would unplug the scanner,  look for last message, replug and check for any new messages
[15:50] <Cottus> ( i prefer : tailf /var/log/syslog
[15:50] <ipays> how to patch shell?
[15:51] <k1l> ipays: the answers here wouldnt help you, since you dont use ubuntu.

[15:52] <Sach> What the default shell that installs with ubuntu 12.04?
[15:53] <Cottus> looks fine to me, then i would try (x)sane with root permissions
[15:53] <k1l> Sach: dash
[15:53] <Sach> k1l: I currently use ubuntu 10.04. Do you know what my default shell is?
[15:53] <itu1> I tried (x)sane as root before, stalls just like imagescan
[15:54] <Cottus> oh

[15:54] <itu1> Scanning for devices..
[15:54] <itu1> then closes.

[15:56] <mn2010> hello all, got a question...
[15:56] <k1l> Sach:  echo $0
[15:56] <k1l> that should say what you are using. and im not sure if it was dash on 10.04. but i think it was dash
[15:57] <Cottus> lastly i would check to see if it exists anywhere in "http://localhost:631"

[16:01] <itu1> It works on windows though, so it's not broken/

[16:05] <itu1> Yeah they do. I have those installed/.

[16:06] <islandmonkey> Hello, I have the most strangest problem, of which is that when I try to run Google Chrome and Unity, Ubuntu returns me to the login screen
[16:07] <islandmonkey> Has only just happened when I turned the computer on about half an hour ago
[16:07] <islandmonkey> BTW, I did install some updates this morning
[16:07] <islandmonkey> Can't remember what they were though
[16:11] <TexNick> islandmonkey : ya might try the brute force approach & just reinstall chrome
[16:11] <islandmonkey> TexNick: Done that
[16:11] <islandmonkey> Along with Unity
[16:11] <ketterer> Hey guys, I hope you all are having a good day
[16:12] <mn2010> launch chrome from terminal and output status to file (chrome>~/chrome-log.txt
[16:12] <ketterer> Does anyone know how to completly reset all settings for unity web apps. I used the beta version back on 12.04, and since then i have not been able to make them work on 12.10
[16:12] <mn2010> xserver - is it possible to run 2 seperate adapters, running different drivers and use xinerama?(Fglrx and radeon{foss})
[16:13] <islandmonkey> Righto, I'll be back in a minute when I log back in
[16:14] <itu1> Well I have to go now. Thanks for your help Cottus, I'll keep trying tomorrow.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> mn2010: should be. You may need an xorg.conf file to set it up
[16:14] <Cottus> ok
[16:15] <islandmonkey> mn2010: No output was written
[16:15] <mn2010> simple dual-head setup, with layouts to each screen? i want to make sure before i go into it.
[16:16] <mn2010> islandmonkey: install the chrome-dbg libraries, i have a feeling its with unity though. ive seen that before.
[16:16] <flyinprogramer> anyone know where, or what to search for, to find a server psu that has both a 24pin AND 20 pin plug [for a dual processor mobo]  ?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> flyinprogramer: ask in ##hardwae
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> flyinprogramer: this is ubuntu support
[16:17] <flyinprogramer> ActionParsnip:  didn't know that was a thing - sorry!!! don't hate me!!
[16:17] <mn2010> probably stuck using a 24pin splitter(Y) and a single 24>20 pin adapter
[16:18] <ketterer> Does anyone know how to completly reset all settings for unity web apps. I used the beta version back on 12.04, and since then i have not been able to make them work on 12.10
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> flyinprogramer: no hate here dude :D
[16:20] <mn2010> brb, going to test these xorg config's.... wish me luck!
[16:20] <islandmonkey> mn2010: No chrome-dbg or unity-dbg packages
[16:20] <islandmonkey> Or anything like that
[16:21] <mn2010> islandmonkey: i think its called "chrome-browser-dbg", are you running the ubuntu universe packages or the PPA
[16:22] <decci> I have a Fibre Channel Card which I want to validate with HP hardware.I need to stress test it with BIOS and HP hardware. What test shall I perform
[16:22] <polarsouth> hi
[16:23] <islandmonkey> mn2010: The package is chromium-browser-dbg and I use Chrome, not Chromium. Are you sure it's going to work?
[16:23] <Touhou11> islandmonkey: Chrome is part of a botnet, I would advise against using it
[16:25] <islandmonkey> Touhou11: What are you blabbering on about?
[16:26] <mn2010> islandmonkey: there is a chrome version as well. the Chromium version wont work, as its for the "Chromium" Browser... the debugging symbols will output debugging info. will know if its unity or chrome then,
[16:27] <mn2010> i agree with Touhou11, and if youre running recent builds its slightly faster and uses system version of flash and ffmpeg(libav) codecs. Rather than google versions and doesnt log everything back to google...
[16:27] <bobweaver> !info  chromium-browser-dbg
[16:27] <bobweaver> !info chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-dbg
[16:28] <islandmonkey> mn2010: Can't find the chrome edition of those dbg symbols
[16:28] <bobweaver> Look in there repo are you using beta ?
[16:28] <islandmonkey> No stable
[16:28] <bobweaver> I think that they have three repos
[16:29] <islandmonkey> And I have looked inside the repos
[16:29] <Touhou11> islandmonkey: Chrome contains proprietary code which you can't examine, I suggest running wireshark while using it
[16:29] <mn2010> ^i cant find it either.... strange... i know it was in there 11/2011... when i was debugging 12.04...
[16:29] <mn2010> brb ^
[16:31] <islandmonkey> Touhou11: What's that got to do with fixing my problem?
[16:32] <Touhou11> islandmonkey: If you don't use Chrome there isn't a problem
[16:32] <decci_> How shall I reboot BIOS 100 time through script
[16:34] <proka> Does anyone know why GParted won't start if there is an USB inserted? It spits out this error message when starting it from terminal: "Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:659 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed."
[16:34] <jrib> decci_: i'm really curious why anyone would ever want to do that...
[16:34] <decci_> jrib: For BIOS stress testing
[16:34] <islandmonkey> Touhou11: No thank you Richard Stallman. And I still have a problem, since we have also Unity to get back up and running
[16:35] <jrib> decci_: i guess you can put a script to run at startup that writes how many times it has run to disk somewhere...
[16:38] <proka> Does anyone know why GParted won't start if there is an USB inserted? It spits out this error message when starting it from terminal: "Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:659 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed."
[16:40] <jrib> proka: sounds like a bug.  I'd check for open bugs and file one if it doesn't exist yet
[16:41] <simplew> i have gpg-agent running, still 'debuild -S' continues prompting for the gpg key becuase it asks twice fot the gpg key, can anyone clarify?
[16:41] <proka> jrib, Could it be that this specific USB is causing trouble, or just a generic bug?
[16:41] <jrib> proka: I'd assume it's related to the way that particular usb is formatted
[16:42] <proka> Also, how do I format a USB drive to fat32 using terminal? mkfs.vfat does not seem to do the job.
[16:45] <ner0x> What is the java plugin again? I keep forgetting.
[16:47] <seednode> ner0x: icedtea-web-plugin is what I use.
[16:47] <seednode> Or whatever it's called.
[16:48] <seednode> And OpenJDK/JRE for non-web
[16:48] <ner0x> Thank you.
[16:49] <seednode> I think the name in repos is icedtea-web-java7
[16:49] <Varazir> Anyone here good at start up ? I have create my own conf file and set it to "start on startup" hoping it would start before lightdm but don't do it
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> ner0x: you can use oracle java if you want
[16:51] <soomon> hello. i crated a mdadm raid 5. but it doesnt have the size it should have... here is the information about the raid: 4*3TB hard drives: Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] // md0 : active raid5 sde1[4] sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[0]. i only get 6TB of storage.. why?
[16:51] <JBzh> Hi. Does someone knows if there is a fix to the python 2.7 SEGFAULT when using help('modules') ? (bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/896836)
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> ner0x: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[16:52] <Varazir> My problem is that I have a script that turn on my TV and my AVR (using CEC HDMI lib), they need to be on befor lightdm/x starts
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Varazir: if you add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, it will run befor lightdm runs. You can also add a sleep command to add an N second pause so the devcie has time to come on etc
[16:53] <Varazir> ActionParsnip: ok I'll try it
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Varazir: use full paths to files etc, they will run as root
[16:53] <Varazir> ok
[16:53] <Varazir> ActionParsnip: ok
[16:55] <Varazir> do I need to add exec before the script file ?

[16:59] <ldlework> how do I get it to install the 5.22? http://hastebin.com/givipamabu.coffee
[16:59] <feeshon> zizo: What model wireless card do you have?
[17:00] <ldlework> nm
[17:01] <honvai> Hello. How to open ipad system?
[17:01] <xangua> honvai: depends on the ubuntu and iOS version you use
[17:01] <ejo> zizo: be sure that any special key on the keyboard for turning the wireless on/off is not the cause
[17:02] <zizo> ejo, I've checked it is on.
[17:02] <zizo> ejo, it is working in windows 7 fine.
[17:02] <honvai> xangua: ubuntu 12.04.1 and iOS 6.0.1
[17:02] <soomon> what is "used dev space" in mdadm?
[17:03] <xangua> honvai: most likely no :)
[17:03] <ejo> zizo: ok good... does the graphic at the top right of your screen indicate the wireless antenna is working?   Is the problem just that you can't connect to your base station?
[17:04] <ejo> (i mean connect to your wireless network)
[17:04] <zizo> ejo, its not working.
[17:04] <ejo> zizo: what exactly is not working
[17:04] <ejo> specifically
[17:04] <zizo> ejo, now I've connected with waired lan.
[17:05] <honvai> xangua: what di you mean?
[17:05] <feeshon> zizo is your card getting detected in ubuntu? I would check the there is a driver installed
[17:05] <zizo> ejo, It is not showing any access point
[17:05] <honvai> xangua: what do you mean?
[17:05] <skai-falkorr> who i need to mail to talk about technical stuff on planet.ubuntu.com?
[17:05] <zizo> feeshon, it is not detecting I think.
[17:06] <feeshon> zizo: at the top where it shows a add on card icon it should give you options for additional drivers
[17:07] <ejo> zizo: possibly because you are connected by wire now.  Also do you have your wireless network configured to not advertise its SSID?  If that's the case then you would need to use the "add a wireless network not shown here" option
[17:08] <xangua> honvai: that in every ubuntu release it supports the current ios, then a new iso update is released and it breaks the supports...a new ubuntu is released and the history repeats
[17:08] <DJones> skai-falkorr: You can contact the planet sysadmins by emailing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:08] <simple_one> .
