[00:00] <WanderingEnder> Its basically the CLI version of the desktop upgrade, Ziber.
[00:00] <Ziber> Well, they're talking about using the GUI... How do I do it at the commandline?
[00:00] <jrib> Ziber: scroll down to the server section
[00:01] <Ziber> I don't see it.
[00:01] <bond__> blami: you know how to check for MSS in ubuntu?
[00:01] <jrib> Ziber: what page are you reading?
[00:02] <Ziber> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
[00:02] <WanderingEnder> These docs need updated.
[00:02] <WanderingEnder> desktop is only for desktop users. No info for server.
[00:02] <jrib> Ziber: yes, that tells you how to upgrade 12.04 desktop to 12.10.  Try the other link...
[00:02] <Ziber> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade ?
[00:02] <jrib> !upgrade
[00:02] <WanderingEnder> EOL is ancient talks about getting up to 10.04 in the future.
[00:02] <Ziber> the upgradenotes one?
[00:03] <jrib> it's true, the documents need some tlc
[00:03] <jrib> Ziber: yes
[00:03] <WanderingEnder> UpgradeNotes stops at 11.04 to 11.10
[00:03] <jrib> Ziber: it gives you the steps, but you may or may not need to change your repositories. We'll help you cross that bridge when you get there
[00:03] <Rage1> Can I use recovery mode to undo an upgrade?
[00:03] <jrib> Rage1: depends on what you mean by "undo"
[00:03] <Ziber> Yeah, I don't see anything about server there.
[00:04] <jrib> Ziber: did you click on the link for your version?
[00:04] <Ziber> oh, nevermind. found it.
[00:04] <Rage1> to reset my computer back to 10.04
[00:04] <WanderingEnder> Ziber: "server" just means there's no GUI.
[00:04] <jrib> Rage1: no
[00:04] <Rage1> aw...
[00:05] <WanderingEnder> I'm running "Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS" which I installed lbuntu on top of. What I do in CLI is no different than on a straight server version.
[00:05] <Slart> !downgrade | Rage1
[00:05] <Rage1> I've been desperately trying to somehow downgrade/reinstall ubuntu back to 10.04
[00:05] <Rage1> and I already know that
[00:05] <WanderingEnder> Heck, this box isn't even in the same country I am in.
[00:05] <jrib> Rage1: what version are you on now?
[00:05] <Rage1> 12.04 LTS
[00:06] <WanderingEnder> Rage1, the way to downgrade is to backup your data and install 10.04.
[00:06] <jrib> Rage1: why do you want to downgrade?
[00:06] <Rage1> constant error messages
[00:06] <WanderingEnder> Why you're doing that, I don't know, but that's the safest way.
[00:06] <Rage1> programs failing
[00:06] <WanderingEnder> About?
[00:06] <jrib> Rage1: like?
[00:06] <Rage1> printer not working
[00:06] <Rage1> uh...
[00:07] <Rage1> stuff like drapes and adblockplus are crashing
[00:07] <crackguy> can I ask CentOS related questions here? #centos is pretty dead if that's okay?
[00:07] <macmartine> Unicorn is all of a sudden failing to start and telling me to look in stderr. Where is that?
[00:07] <jrib> crackguy: only ubuntu here.   That's how you do it. The proper response is to diagnose wtf is going on, though.
[00:08] <Rage1> I'm not very smart when it comes to computer errors and this stuff
[00:08] <jrib> Rage1: have you tried creating a fresh new user to see if it continues?
[00:08] <Rage1> No.
[00:08] <jrib> Rage1: could be worth a shot
[00:09] <vith> in /etc/apt/preferences when specifying to pin by origin, is the domain name the only way? i want to be more specific than "ppa.launchpad.net". i'm trying to pin ppa:izx/ovz-libc or http://ppa.launchpad.net/izx/ovz-libc/
[00:09] <Rage1> If I create a new user will I have to change a bunch of stuff?
[00:09] <Slart> Rage1: if you're experiencing lots of crashing you might want to run a memory check as well
[00:09] <jrib> Rage1: well you won't retain your customizations but you're doing this to see if the errors stop
[00:10] <Rage1> and do you mean deleting my old user and creating a new one?
[00:10] <WanderingEnder> Rage1, did your PC come with Ubuntu from the store?
[00:10] <jrib> Rage1: no.  Just create a new one
[00:10] <Rage1> NO
[00:10] <Rage1> No
[00:10] <Rage1> I installed it
[00:10] <WanderingEnder> Rage1, do you know how to create a new user?
[00:10] <Rage1> No...
[00:11] <jrib> !pinning | vith
[00:11] <jrib> vith: there's some discussion there.  What do you want to do exactly?
[00:11] <WanderingEnder> That's what I thought. I can't remember the bot trigger for that. I would suggest help.ubuntu.com and search for "create new user"
[00:11] <Rage1> okay
[00:11] <Baribal> Hi again. I'm trying to follow this tutorial to upgrade 12.04 -> 12.10: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades     When running do-release-upgrade, I get no new release offered. Should the value of Prompt in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades something other than lts?
[00:12] <WanderingEnder> Baribal, yes, it should.
[00:12] <jrib> Baribal: yes, see the comments at the top of that file
[00:12] <w3bcrawler> does anyone know which repo's (if any) vmware can be downloaded from? it's not showing up when i use 'apt-cache search vmware'
[00:12] <WanderingEnder> LTS means you won't get a dist upgrade till the next LTS version.
[00:12] <jrib> !vmware | w3bcrawler
[00:12] <WanderingEnder> Which is what, 2014?
[00:12] <jrib> w3bcrawler: not sure there is a repo
[00:12] <Baribal> Okay, thanks, that's stress blindness. ^^
[00:12] <jrib> WanderingEnder: yes
[00:12] <w3bcrawler> Thanks jrib! :D
[00:13] <MK`> Is there a way to get Ubuntu to remember to set the sound device to my headphones when I plug them in? I need to keep doing it manually.
[00:13] <vith> jrib: i want to do something like "Pin: origin ppa.launchpad.net/izx/ovz-libc/". will that work with the subdirectories specified that way?
[00:13] <vith> every example i see only has a base domain name after origin
[00:13] <jrib> vith: I'm not sure.  Can't you just pin the package?
[00:14] <jrib> vith: are you trying to make sure only the ppa version is installed?
[00:14] <ozzloy> rhythmbox isn't playing flac for me.  12.04.  i'm unable to find the solution using google (so far).  how do i get flac playback in rhythmbox?
[00:15] <vith> i could, but i thought i could make it easier on myself pinning the whole ppa since there's several packages
[00:15] <vith> but yeah, i'm on an openvz vps with an old kernel version so i have to keep this version of libc installed
[00:15] <vith> now that i'm trying to install build-essential it's getting more complicated
[00:16] <jrib> vith: the debian documentation linked to from ubottu's link tells you about all the possibilities and where the you can find the files with the details for each repository
[00:18] <tripelb> BillyZane: hey am back OK to pm me to .. I need t know what computer you have. Like the current os? Not the brand. And Google install Ubuntu window.     Or Mac depending, while you wait, heh.
[00:19] <questionaire> how to install skype on 12.10 ? i added partner repository by sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" then doing sudo apt-get install skype is of no help also did sudo apt-get install skype-bin skype
[00:19] <jrib> questionaire: what is the output of: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[00:19] <roasted> hello!
[00:19] <gonzojive> I'm getting a kernel-panic on a lived that was working 10 minutes ago
[00:19] <roasted> Question - I have a hard drive here I want to back up. If I use rsync -a, will it effectively back it up? Or should I just use dd or clonezilla?
[00:20] <gonzojive> that is the livecd hangs at the loading screen
[00:20] <roasted> back up as in, I want to transfer the entire OS too
[00:20] <gonzojive> but before it was booting up properly.  this is 12.04
[00:20] <questionaire> jrib: no output on screen for dpkg --print-foreign-architectures commad completes thats it
[00:21] <jrib> questionaire: output of "uname -m"?
[00:21] <questionaire> jrib: x86_64
[00:21] <kunji> roasted: dd rescue works well, using dd without the rescue bit doesn't do any error checking if I recall correctly
[00:22] <jrib> questionaire: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update   # then try installing skype again
[00:22] <goddard> my system takes 140 seconds to start
[00:22] <goddard> hey can some one help me with this boot chart http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o667/Ryein/goddard-G73Jw-quantal-20121203-1_zps93aa7231.png
[00:22] <bond__> Does anybody here know how to check MTU size in ubuntu?
[00:23] <Slart> bond__: ifconfig or ethtool perhaps?
[00:23] <questionaire> jrib: i was following this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/215298/unable-to-install-skype-on-12-10-64bit also did wget command but at 21-22% it said can't read source try again later
[00:23] <kunji> bond__: yeah ifconfig will show it
[00:23] <tripelb> Have 2002 powerpc iMac 384M RAM and booting the "12.04 desktop ppc-mac liveCD" (Precise)  starts up with a text screen, but gives no chance to check disk integrity,. After that, from that shell, all my tries to boot ubuntu from the liveCD are UNsuccessful. Anyone up for helping?
[00:25] <bond__> thanks kunji and Slart,  do you also know how to check for Tcp initial window size? /proc/sys/net/ivp4/ didn't helped me
[00:25] <kunji> tripelb: Hey, I've been reading up on it, but while I did have it work in the past, I didn't encounter the same problems you did, so I'm probably not going to be that much help.  I'll send anything I find that fits those symptoms your way though.
[00:25] <javierf_> Hi! I installed fresh ubuntu last time in 11.04, being upgrading since them until 12.10. But I carry some minor bugs, little things that don't work anymore as they should. I've decided to format my hard drive and install everything from new, but after so long time there are many things I will loose, like the applications installed. Is there a way to save the list of what I have installed and use it after the ubuntu install to have them back? thanks!
[00:25] <jrib> !clone | javierf_
[00:26] <questionaire> jrib: ??
[00:26] <jrib> questionaire: did you try what I said?
[00:26] <kunji> bond__:initial window size, hmm, haven't got a clue, I've got a feeling it's done by the driver and there might not be a standard way to check it, that's just a guess though.
[00:27] <mantfire> hi hi
[00:27] <Slart> bond__: I have no ideas either.. googling didn't really turn up anything useful
[00:27] <mantfire> i have some error upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 with update  manager
[00:27] <ixio2b> guys /dev/sda is giving me grief, ATA errors etc. I have added a new disk of the same size. I want to dd /dev/sda to /dev/vdb... but is there a way I can DD only the used data on the disk.. its a 1TB disk with only 12GB being used. I dont want to DD 98% of zeros
[00:28] <bond__> Slart: googling didn't help me either :(
[00:28] <bekks> ixio2b: No, there is no such tool on the level where dd operates.
[00:28] <holysin> use windows instead
[00:28] <mantfire> i found my error here  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1015567
[00:28] <bond__> kunji: its not done by driver. I am sure about that
[00:28] <mantfire> but the script there dont solve the problem
[00:29] <kunji> bekks: I believe you can dd a partition or even just a folder, let me double check though
[00:29] <agent> Hi there. I've upgraded to 10.04 and keep having problems with the wireless. First it was dropping, I sorted it. Now it isn't connecting. It is staying in Airplane mode. I've tried some forum suggestions. Could anyone suggest something? Thanks
[00:29] <agent> 12.04, sorry
[00:29] <javierf_> !automate
[00:30] <bekks> kunji: You can dd a partition, but the logical used content of a filesystem, neither a folder.
[00:30] <javierf_> !automate | javierf
[00:30] <kunji> bekks: Hmm, but you can for an image file
[00:31] <bekks> kunji: No. Even for an image file, you cant dd just a single file from within your image file.
[00:31] <Slart> does dd even know about files and such? isn't it all just blocks?
[00:31] <vith> jrib: alright, i think i got it with "Pin: release o=LP-PPA-izx-ovz-libc" which i got from apt-get policy. thanks
[00:31] <jrib> vith: cool
[00:31] <bekks> Slart: dd has no clue about filesystems.
[00:31] <kunji> ixio2b: So I think you could shrink your partition with gparted, then use dd-rescue to copy it.  You take the risk that something could go wrong during the partition shrinking though.
[00:32] <kunji> bekks: I didn't mean a single file from the image, but what I meant was the image file is a single file in your filesystem... so it's not correct to say it can't at all
[00:33] <Slart> bekks: mm.. thought so =) thanks
[00:33] <questionaire> jrib: it is showing for install now....but its showing 149MB data for installation,,,,,is it ok....skype file from MS is only 25-35mb something
[00:33] <bekks> kunji: dd can handle block devices, and it treats an image file as a block device.
[00:33] <javierf_> if I want to replicate my packages in a fresh install of ubuntu, I will repeat the minor bugs I'm experiencing now, am not I? (because I will keep my home configutation files)
[00:33] <jrib> questionaire: you probably need some dependencies.  I don't know
[00:34] <jrib> javierf_: if the erratic behavior is caused by your configuration, sure.  Why don't you create a fresh new user and see if the "bugs" go away/
[00:34] <javierf_> jrib: that's a very good idea, I'll try that. thanls
[00:34] <questionaire> jrib: its shwing 2 screen full of packages
[00:35] <jrib> questionaire: skype uses 32-bit packages, so that may be possible
[00:35] <questionaire> hmm
[00:37] <questionaire> look at these---are these good enough ?? http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install-latest-skype-41-in-ubuntu.html and http://www.tecmint.com/install-skype-4-1-in-ubuntu-xubuntu-linux-mint/
[00:37] <questionaire> jrib: ^^^
[00:37] <emx> i noticed that when a process was idle for a certain period of time i sort of have to wake it up. e.g. the terminal: i press down the enter key and a command prompt appears. a certain time passes and another one appears. the intervals get shorter and shorter until it behaves as expected. can i pass a kernel parameter or something to change this "waking-up behaviour" to "just do your job"?
[00:37] <jrib> questionaire: what's wrong with the repositories?
[00:38] <questionaire> jrib: nothing but on the above 2 links its only 3 stpes with different files
[00:38] <jrib> questionaire: use the repository version
[00:39] <ixio2b> how would I find *.vmdk
[00:39] <questionaire> ok...but if u'll look at those for few seconds then good enough just 6 lines of commands to read
[00:40] <jrib> questionaire: I saw them
[00:40] <questionaire> ok...they are not worth ?
[00:40] <jrib> questionaire: if you use the repositories, then you'll get updates automatically
[00:40] <questionaire> ohh
[00:40] <questionaire> ok
[00:40] <jrib> questionaire: if you don't want that for some reason, you can go to skype.com, download the .deb, and double click on it.  Then you have to take care of updates though
[00:40] <questionaire> ok
[00:41] <questionaire> but again i doubt that i'll need deps coz the version supplied is i386
[00:41] <josh_> anybody here know about ubuntuforums.org?  I've been trying to log in all day with my launchpad ID, and it just doesn't work
[00:41] <krabador_> i need help to reinstall nouveau drivers fully working. i used the package run from nvidia, but with today's kernel upgrade, it don't want to work again after the uninstallation/reinstallation like every kernel upgrade

[00:42] <jrib> josh_: #ubuntuforums
[00:42] <questionaire> jrib: i have marked them for installation....but now if i do aptoncd and backup then will i be able to install them again afterwards ?
[00:43] <jrib> questionaire: I don't know about aptoncd

[00:44] <djxvillain> I need some hardcore help, is this an appropriate channel?
[00:44] <questionaire> jrib: there were some suggested packages also but i have left them....only installing default ones
[00:45] <josh_> djxvillain: sorry, pron is prohibited on freenode
[00:45] <krabador_> topper4125, i used nvidia173 from nvidia site, until today. today i've done the kernel update, in the today's updates, in my 12.10
[00:45] <komradefox> i have a dual-boot of 12.04 and win8. and i'd like to reinstall 12.04. can i just create a live disk, run it, and format my current ubuntu partition, and then reinstall?
[00:45] <djxvillain> josh:  very nice.  hahaha.  Is this a good channel for some video driver related issues?
[00:45] <josh_> ask and see
[00:46] <krabador_> topper4125, and they stop working. Not so bad, every kernel updates they do it, and i ever reinstalled it later
[00:46] <krabador_> topper4125, but after today's update, they don't want to works again, like some incompatibility
[00:46] <topper4125> komradefox, yes that will work perfectly
[00:47] <komradefox> topper4125: grat, thanks :D
[00:47] <topper4125> krabador_, k lemme do some digging, I think I have notes on this somewhere
[00:47] <mega1> i have a small problem when i use putty and type exit it useto close now it does not anyone know why
[00:48] <djxvillain> Sooo, on my laptop I was trying to update my video driver because I noticed these strange graphical glitches constantly.  Well, I followed an online 'tutorial' and now my laptop won't even boot up.  Here's the site I used:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Manually_installing_Catalyst_12.6.2C_special_case_for_Intel.2BAC8-AMD_hybrid_graphics
[00:48] <krabador_> topper4125, the nouveau version i'm using now, by default, it's not properly workinf
[00:48] <krabador_> *working
[00:48] <djxvillain> I'm freaking out.
[00:49] <magn3ts> Let's play a game. Name a gstreamer based music player and I will personally guarantee that I can crash it with my music library.
[00:50] <topper4125> krabador_ do you want to use the 173 drivers?
[00:50] <kunji> magn3ts: gstreamer never really worked for me... ever, I just grab vlc right away
[00:50] <magn3ts> Haha, banshee won't even open. Rhythmbox opens for 10 seconds. Noise will open but will freeze on a FLAC file and then will fail to ever unstick even after closing/reopening.
[00:51]  * magn3ts doesn't even have that much music
[00:51] <kunji> magn3ts: any  .ape files in your mix? :P
[00:51] <magn3ts> Hm, not sure. I could check. My `find` fu is weak thoguh
[00:52] <krabador_> topper4125, i must, because nouveau, with my card, are really slow
[00:52] <tripelb> Hi kunji can I pm you?
[00:52] <krabador_> topper4125, and my card is supported only in 173
[00:52] <brizilubuntu> how can i install windows 7 onto my external hard drive with ubuntu 12.04
[00:52] <kunji> tripelb: Sure, though I haven't found anything new yet T.T
[00:53] <topper4125> does this solution work for you? http://askubuntu.com/questions/186801/restoring-nvidia-drivers-from-older-version-of-ubuntu-to-new-version-on-disk
[00:53] <topper4125> or is the 173 completely not working after todays update?
[00:53] <tripelb> josh_:  I thim
[00:53] <krabador_> topper4125, yes, i've the issue, but i ignored it, by using nvidia official
[00:53] <tripelb> josh_:  I think you might  to register again
[00:54] <tripelb> josh_: use the same userid
[00:54] <krabador_> topper4125, yes the 173 official nvidia .run package are not working after today's update
[00:54] <Rage1> jtlap?
[00:54] <krabador_> topper4125, i uninstall it and reinstall it, but nothing
[00:54] <brizilubuntu> how can i install windows 7 onto my external hard drive with ubuntu 12.04
[00:55] <josh_> tripelb: right now I'm too pissed off to want to have anything to do with ubuntuforums
[00:55] <brizilubuntu> any one can help
[00:55] <josh_> tripelb: maybe I'll feel better about it tommorrow
[00:55] <krabador_> topper4125, every kernel update i must reinstall it, but ever with no problems
[00:55] <tripelb> kunji: OK PS I was macppcgal for a bit
[00:55] <agent> Hi there. I've upgraded to 10.04 and keep having problems with the wireless. First it was dropping, I sorted it. Now it isn't connecting. It is staying in Airplane mode. I've tried some forum suggestions. Could anyone suggest something? Thanks
[00:55] <agent> 12.04
[00:55] <topper4125> hmm... krabador_ I'll have to do some quick reading on what exactly heppened in todays update to see what the changes were... is the issue bad enough for you that you could revert to the older kernel or do you need the newest one for other reasons?
[00:55] <Rage1> can someone help me with a problem with my printer in 12.04?
[00:55] <bekks> brizilubuntu: As long as you cant install Win7 on your external, Ubuntu cant help you.
[00:55] <kunji> tripelb: Yeah I saw that :P
[00:56] <topper4125> !cups | Ragel
[00:56] <krabador_> topper4125, no, no reason to use the newest
[00:56] <dr_willis> airplane mode on a computer? never noticed that befor
[00:56] <krabador_> topper4125, i can come back to the older with no problems
[00:56] <tripelb> Can I install Ubuntu on a ppc Mac not GUI as I can see the text as it messes up?
[00:56] <Rage1> I just need help with the printer not printing
[00:56] <brizilubuntu> u mean we cant install windows 7 on external hard drive
[00:56] <brizilubuntu> ?
[00:56] <kunji> dr_willis: lol, yeah, it's because of the "Convergence"... the phone and tv stuff
[00:56] <tompa> Hello how do i change my file manager to show folders in list view?
[00:56] <bekks> brizilubuntu: Thats a question for ##windows
[00:57] <topper4125> krabador_ I'm not saying that's the *only* solution to this issue, but it maybe the fastest if its a bit of a problem for you.
[00:57] <dr_willis> tripelb:   Ive had Ubuntu on my old PPC mac. but i always had problems with it. and the mac was so old.. it was a hassle. but it should be doable
[00:57] <Rage1> the printer works
[00:57] <brizilubuntu> i have ubuntu ?
[00:57] <Rage1> but there's something wrong with the configuration
[00:57] <KoolAid> I'm not finding any help with my question. Is there a more suitable channel to ask in?
[00:57] <Rage1> ##linuz
[00:57] <Rage1> ##linux
[00:57] <mega1> i have a small problem when i use putty and type exit it useto close now it does not anyone know why
[00:58] <w3bcrawler> tompa: that depends on the file manager you're using. I'm using 'thunar' and it's in the 'View' menu.
[00:58] <krabador_> topper4125, i must use the nvidia official with this videocard, because nouveau are really really slow
[00:58] <brizilubuntu> so shal i reinstall windows on my laptop an then create an external hard drive fro ubuntu 12.04
[00:58] <krabador_> topper4125, unusable
[00:58] <brizilubuntu> will that work
[00:58] <krabador_> topper4125,  it's a shitty geforce fx 5900
[00:58] <Rage1> topper4125
[00:58] <dr_willis> brizilubuntu:  ive ran ubuntu from external usb hds, works decently well
[00:59] <topper4125> krabador_ k... looking to see what was in todays update and if anything is mentioned about the 173
[00:59] <Haematoma> Anyone have experience configuring postfix or CLI email?
[00:59] <w3bcrawler> tompa: If there's a 'Help' menu, go to 'About' and perhaps try Googling how to change settings in your file manager (probably either nautilus or thunar)
[00:59] <KoolAid> I tried re-installing an earlier version when I encountered the problem before. I later did a partial update before the up-grade. I'm having problems since the upgrade
[00:59] <Haematoma> I'm attempting to set up postfix to use with mail so that I can send myself update emails at the end of a maintenance script.
[00:59] <brizilubuntu> how can i can you give me the link or else any other option i am new to this please
[01:00] <tompa> w3bcrawler im using the one which is default in 12.04
[01:00] <bekks> brizilubuntu: The channel you have to ask wether you can install Win7 on an external disk is ##windows
[01:00] <dr_willis> brizilubuntu:  i install to external same as i do internal. I  always manually partion and tell it where to put / at on the  external (same as i do on internal) and be sure grub installs to the external also.
[01:00] <bekks> brizilubuntu: Currently, you are in #ubuntu
[01:00] <w3bcrawler> tompa: are you using Gnome or KDE?
[01:00] <dr_willis> brizilubuntu:  or just unplug the internal so you onluy have an external. :) then you cant make a mistake
[01:00] <Rage1> topper4125: for some reason the printer works and everything, but it says that the configuration is wrong.
[01:00] <KoolAid> Has anyone else encountered the problem of "Airplanemode" on and unable to disable it?
[01:01] <tompa> w3bcrawler im using unity
[01:01] <trickyj> Hi all
[01:02] <KoolAid> I was looking for a place to deal with questions about Ubuntu. I keep finding this channel and the forum. Where can I find information?
[01:02] <KoolAid> I am not getting any responses
[01:03] <topper4125> krabador_ Really not finding anything new for the fx 5900 since mid December, nothing about the latest update...
[01:03] <Rage1> !airplane | KoolAid
[01:03] <eduardo__> join #ubuntu-br
[01:03] <brizilubuntu> bekks: so can i install windows 7 on external hard drive with the help of ubuntu 12.04? If so how?
[01:03] <eduardo__> join  #ubuntu-br
[01:03] <kunji> KoolAid: you can find information in both places: I haven't had the problem you're having though, I've never turned on airplane mode.  On IRC you need to be patient... very patient, and if you annoy people they won't answer you at all even if they know :P
[01:03] <krabador_> topper4125, ok i'll use the older kernel
[01:03] <brizilubuntu> i don't really know ?
[01:03] <krabador_> topper4125, i thanx you

[01:03] <topper4125> Ragel Printer make/model?
[01:04] <Rage1> what do you mean
[01:04] <Rage1> ?
[01:04] <vlad_91> ;
[01:04] <KoolAid> thanks kunji. I never enabled airplane mode to begin with.
[01:04] <topper4125> krabador_ you're welcome, wish I could have been a bit more helpful...
[01:04] <brizilubuntu> if not can u let me now the alternate bcoz i need windows
[01:05] <kunji> KoolAid: Yeah, I've never had it start on either though, I have no idea how it interacts with the rest of networking on Ubuntu.
[01:05] <topper4125> Ragel the printer you are having problems with, is it a HP 2112 for example?
[01:05] <Rage1> It's a canon ip2600
[01:05] <KoolAid> I closed my wireless connection to use a wire. Hasn't come back on since and I keep trying different things. Don't really want to re-install if I can repair it.
[01:05] <aguitel> how install nvidia-173 in 12.10 ?
[01:05] <mega1> briziubuntu you cant use ubuntu to install windows 7 you can only install windows from cd or iso image
[01:05] <magiK_> I do have to say that Xubuntu loads allot faster than the regular Ubuntu,  I do have the option for both but running in Xubuntu mode seems to go a heck of allot faster.
[01:05] <ajrossnz> hi everyone. Does anyone know how to paste text in xterm using a mac keyboard? I can't seem to get it workinghey everyone. Does anyone know how to paste text in xterm using a mac keyboard? I can't seem to get it working
[01:06] <kunji> KoolAid: There's this: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html  But it makes no mention of Airplane Mode whatsoever T.T
[01:06] <topper4125> Ragel, have you tried this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129350
[01:07] <Rage1> I don't use archlinux, topper4125
[01:07] <brizilubuntu> mega1 ok i got that but after creating a CD of windows 7  i dont know how to proceed
[01:07] <kunji> topper4125: I think it's Rage1 not Ragel.  (One not Ell)
[01:07] <Rage1> yesh :D
[01:08] <topper4125> The Arch solution uses cups... same as ubuntu... should be comperable Rage1 (sorry for the typo.. not on my system and this IRC client is 'odd')
[01:08] <topper4125> maybe not the same... but comperable
[01:08] <KoolAid> thanks kunji. I don't know what's causing it. I had a dropping connection and that fixed. Now I just want to be able to connect via wireless too.
[01:08] <Rage1> ah I see
[01:08] <tripelb> Uh oh. No posts here means lots most connection
[01:09] <tripelb> Lost
[01:09] <tripelb> In cyberspace
[01:09] <tripelb> No one can hear me
[01:09] <kunji> tripelb: I can here you!
[01:09] <topper4125> Rage1, should give you a step in the right direction.
[01:09] <kunji> *hear.. lol
[01:10] <un2him> MagiK...I'm trying xubuntu as well as mint xfce.  Lots to like (speed), but I always end up going back to stock ubuntu
[01:10] <Rage1> it doesn't really mention anything about configuration problems
[01:10] <mega1> brizilubuntu: you have to be very carfull make sure you know where you are installing to and windows 7 may replace the mbr of you internal hd and you may have to repair it when you are finshed but you have to boot into the cd to install windows 7
[01:13] <brizilubuntu> is their any link explaining abt installation of windows onto external drive please can u give the step sothat it may be easy..
[01:14] <brizilubuntu> mega1: Is their any link explaining abt installation of windows onto external drive please can u give the step sothat it may be easy..
[01:14] <Rage1> can someone at all help with an error in my canon ip2600 printer?
[01:15] <zg> I run realvnc on my server and was wondering if it's possible to keep it running while I am logged out of the machine
[01:15] <MarcN> Any pointers on debugging the IDE on WinXP/7/8? The serial/usb driver is not installing.  I'm helping FIRST Robotics kids and *none* of the kids' laptops properly load the driver provided with the 1.0.3 windows kit.
[01:16] <mega1> brizilubuntu: its not that hard once you boot into the cd there is a big buttion called install now click it next pick hd after that it will be installed
[01:16] <dr_willis> zg:  thats how vnc normally works for me.
[01:16] <MarcN> IDE 1.0.1 works great on *my* Ubuntu laptop, but the student's aren't up for that...
[01:16] <dr_willis> zg:  i ssh in, start a vncserver with a remote/hidden desktop. it stays  in the bacckground if i  disconnect/reconnect the vnc client
[01:17] <brizilubuntu> mega1: thanks i will try ;-)
[01:17] <MarcN> oops! Wrong window.  Sorry...
[01:17] <zg> you ssh in, but I don't want to enable that capability ;)
[01:18] <dr_willis> zg:   the question is do you want to see the CURRENT visible  desktop. or have a hidden desktop session
[01:18] <mega1> does anyone know why when i putty into my server and type exit it does not close the putty window
[01:18] <dr_willis> You can spawn a vnc session from rc.local at boot time and it will stay running untill you close it
[01:18] <brizilubuntu> I have on more problem i recently brought a Epson XP 405 printer and i install the drivers but in does't detect it can any one help me with it?
[01:19] <robman> heya - anyone have any tips on how to get tproxy enabled on 12.04LTS
[01:19] <zg> dr_willis: I downloaded the proprietary software from realvnc.com, so i'm not sure
[01:19] <dr_willis> mega1:  first guess.. its a putty setting to close window on disconnect
[01:19] <dr_willis> zg:  theres no need to get realvnc from them. theres dozens of vncservers in the repos
[01:19] <dr_willis> !info tightvnc
[01:19] <mega1> it closes when i connect to my frends server
[01:19] <dr_willis> !find tightvnc
[01:19] <zg> dr_willis: I prefer realvnc
[01:20] <dr_willis> then i guess you  should read the realvnc docs.. all the vnc servers work about the same
[01:20] <compdoc> I like vnc4server - also in the repos
[01:20] <zg> theirs doesn't work the same
[01:20] <dr_willis> then you should definatly be reading their docs
[01:20] <zg> their latest version doesn't work with other clients trying to connect -- you need their client :/
[01:20] <dr_willis> sounds liek a good reason to NOT use realvnc then
[01:21] <kunji> I'll second that
[01:21] <zg> http://vnc.com/products/vnc/
[01:21] <brizilubuntu> I recently brought a Epson XP 405 printer and tried printing it can any one help me with it?
[01:22] <dr_willis> the thing people comming from windows have a hard time understanding is that vnc can have  several 'hidden' desktops running in the background that you only see via a vnc client. which is differnt from shareing the current visible desktop.
[01:22] <dr_willis> in windows vnc can only share the current desktop (last i looked)
[01:22] <zg> is this related to the "tty" numbers that I see in the `who'
[01:22] <dr_willis> in linux, it can do it either way
[01:22] <Alward> السَِـِْلآِمَِ عَِلَِيَِڳِـِّمَِ وَِرَِحَِمَِـُِھِّ اَِلَِلَِـِّہًِ وَِبَِرَِڳِآِتَِـٌِہٍََ🌹
[01:23] <mega1> dr_willis: it will close when i connect to my frieds server
[01:23] <dr_willis> mega1:  if you set up vnc right. it will stay in the background.
[01:23] <dr_willis> if you set it up a differnt way it spawns on connection, then closes on disconnect
[01:23] <Alward> ألْـًُِ✆ـًُِ(☎)ـًُِ✆ـُُِوِْوِْوِْوِْ
[01:24] <zg> my vnc is setup to start when logged in
[01:24] <dr_willis> thats why it closes on exit then.
[01:24] <zg> it "spawns" on login, and goes away on disconnect
[01:24] <zg> on logout*
[01:24] <zg> spawns at login, "despawns" on logout
[01:25] <zg> I've always had issues setting up alternatives
[01:25] <dr_willis> i can start a tightvnc session with openbox. and leave it rinning in the background, i can then logoiut  and then connect to the vnc session from any vnc client. the desktop stays running
[01:25] <zg> finding clients that are cross-platform, etc..
[01:25] <zg> when I found realvnc, everything worked, I didn't have any issues
[01:25] <dr_willis> most vnc clients/servers are cross platform..   except aparently realvnc
[01:25] <dr_willis> i use tightvnc with vnc4server,  with tigervnc. with.. i cant think of the others.
[01:25] <dr_willis> several vnc clients on my phone'
[01:26] <zg> i'm gonna look into vnc now
[01:26] <zg> on ubuntu store
[01:26] <dr_willis> freenx is better then vnc in many ways
[01:26] <dr_willis> store? its in the default repos. :) no need to buy anything in the store.
[01:26] <zg> I just installed one called X11VNC Server
[01:26] <dr_willis> x11vnc shares the CURRENT desktop.
[01:27] <zg> err, Software center, my mistake
[01:27] <dr_willis> it works the same as VINO does in gnome.
[01:27] <zg> so, if I want to remotely control my ubuntu desktop (at home) from anywhere, what would your recommendation be
[01:27] <dr_willis> so to use it you have to login locally first and never logout locally
[01:27] <dr_willis> vnc across the  internat would require ssh tunnles also. so not  the  best way to do it
[01:28] <dr_willis> across the internet.. i just ssh. I  dont use a desktop/or vnc.
[01:28] <zg> I also want to be able to reboot remotely and be able to still remotely control
[01:28] <dr_willis> 3g/4g can be real laggy when doing it from the internet on my phone i find.
[01:29] <zg> hm, I might as well just setup ssh
[01:29] <zg> err, you know, get a better password setup,  a different port, etc etc.
[01:29] <dr_willis> ssh is the sort of thing you should DEFINATLY have if you want to remote into your pc
[01:29] <zg> yeah
[01:29] <zg> I should setup private/public keys instead of passwords
[01:29] <dr_willis> yep. i do that normally but it can be a pain
[01:30] <dr_willis> like i try a new ssh client.. got to figure out how to import the keys first..
[01:30] <zg> putty all the way :D
[01:30] <zg> (if windows)
[01:30] <dr_willis> windows? who uses that any more
[01:30] <zg> since yesterday? not me
[01:30] <dr_willis> Im on my android phone right now
[01:31] <dr_willis> i irc into my znc zerver on my raspberry pi linux box. ;)  then get here via znc
[01:31] <dr_willis> i can ssh into my pcs if i wanted to also.. but rarely  need to these days.
[01:33] <dr_willis> and putty has some really annoying 'quirks' ;)
[01:33] <dr_willis> but its the windows mindset.. its what everyone uses and has used.. so no  one wants to try to  change/find somthing better
[01:34] <zg> znc is the most epic software evar
[01:34] <dr_willis> putty + xming is handy if you got a ubuntu box on the lan (or linux box)
[01:34] <dr_willis> you can ssh x forward to the windows box and see gui apps on windows then.
[01:34] <zg> the best part is that I've been "connected" since january 3rd, lol
[01:35] <zg> where is the sshd port configuration on ubuntu? I can't seem to find it
[01:35] <dr_willis>  /etc/ssh/sshd*
[01:35] <dr_willis> near the top
[01:35] <zg> no sshd* stuff in there
[01:36] <dr_willis> perhaps you dont have the ssh server installed then
[01:36] <zg> yeah
[01:36] <zg> that's what I was thinking
[01:36] <dr_willis> setup fail2ban and logwatch also to see if anyones trying to break in to your ssh ports. ;)
[01:36] <dr_willis> changeing port #'s is  not really mich of a security improvement.
[01:39] <zg> huh?
[01:39] <zg> you mean znc supports ssh?
[01:39] <zg> or that's how you connect? I don't want to connect to znc
[01:43] <brizilubuntu> I recently brought a Epson XP 405 printer and tried printing it can any one help me with it?
[01:44] <dr_willis> i set my irc client on my phone to connect to the znc port on the pc
[01:44] <dr_willis> you could ssh tunnle if  you  wanted i guess
[01:44] <ShawnRisk> how come my hard drive on my laptop is making noise?   I know this might be because of the spinning but how do I make this stop?
[01:44] <zg> nah, I just want to connect to ssh over a different port
[01:45] <dr_willis> thats like l one of the first settings in the sshd config files

[01:45] <cmj141>
[01:45] <cmj141> is this bad
[01:45] <kunji> ShawnRisk: honestly you don't... unless you've got access to a cleanroom and lots of specialized tools.  You backup everything and budget for a new drive when the current one fails.
[01:46] <dr_willis> hard drives are the weakest link in pc hardware these days it seems..    they can fail at any time
[01:46] <RollinV2> cmj141: i think i know the fix, i just removed that problem from my system
[01:46] <ShawnRisk> kunji: this is not loud just noise is coming from the computer.
[01:47] <cmj141> RollinV2 : im all ears... i mean eyes
[01:48] <dr_willis> hard drive starts making weird noises.. time to make sure you  got current backups

[01:49] <RollinV2> cmj141: hope it works for you, i spent about 20min using google fu to find those solutions
[01:49] <ShawnRisk> ok
[01:49] <sceleus> I am having some serious ubuntu graphics driver issues
[01:50] <cmj141> ill let u know thx!

[01:51] <mega1> in ubuntu server 12.04 how do i format unpatictioned hd
[01:51] <bentinata> how can I create an global-menu on xfce4-panel?

[01:52] <jsebean> hello all, I am trying to install the Ubuntu BCM4312 drivers on my computer. Usually it installs automatically but for some reason with ubuntu 12.10 64bit it wont, any ideas what deb packages I can download to install it manually?
[01:53] <zg> how do I change my ubuntu apt-get mirrors
[01:53] <zg> the mirror I'm on is horribly slow
[01:53] <jsebean> the bcm4312 is actually working off of my USB stick but the install wont
[01:53] <jsebean> I have no ethernet so I cannot install it from the repos.
[01:54] <bentinata> zg, software-properties-gtk
[01:55] <zg> bentinata: where is that? /etc?
[01:55] <bentinata> zg, no. open terminal and type "sudo software-properties-gtk"
[01:55] <zg> oh nice
[01:57] <KsM> jsebean: BCM4312 needs broadcom's proprietary "wl" kernel module, so you'd have to enable restricted repos/packages
[01:57] <KsM> not sure if ubuntu still uses jockey-gtk, that might have the package that provides wl
[01:58] <djxvillain> Sooo, on my laptop I was trying to update my video driver because I noticed these strange graphical glitches constantly.  Well, I followed an online 'tutorial' and now my laptop won't even boot up.  Here's the site I used:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Manually_installing_Catalyst_12.6.2C_special_case_for_Intel.2BAC8-AMD_hybrid_graphics
[01:58] <lombardo> does ubuntu usually listen on udp port 39166 and 5353?
[02:02] <dr_willis> in 12.10 the addiditional-drivers tool is in a tab under the software-sources tool
[02:03] <dr_willis> lombardo:  theres no default services.. so by default it dosent listen to any ports
[02:03] <zg> any ideas why mount.ntfs is taking up a lot of CPU?
[02:03] <zg> (I used wubi to install ubuntu)
[02:03] <dr_willis> because your whole ubuntu system is on a ntfs drive
[02:03] <dr_willis> in a file on a ntfs filesystem
[02:04] <dr_willis> most people in here learn to avoid wubi. ;)
[02:04] <bekks> zg: It is a design problem and one of the caveats of a filesystem implementation in userspace.
[02:04] <zg> any way to move that into it's own dual-boot and access hardware directly?
[02:04] <zg> without reinstalling everything? :(
[02:04] <dr_willis> theres tools out there to convert a wubi install to a hd install
[02:04] <dr_willis> might be easier to just reinstall.
[02:04] <66MAAHTUC> Hello all! Can anyone recommend a good how to, tutorial on how to setup sshJails on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or higher?
[02:04] <bentinata> huh, I use wubi, but my system on ext4
[02:05] <dr_willis> wubi installs into a file thats got ext4 INSIDE the file. mounted via the loop  back features
[02:05] <dr_willis> its still on a windows drive. Unless its gained some new features.
[02:06] <KI4RO> I have a Canon PIXMA 280 plugged into a USB port on my wife's UBUNTU machine that works fine from her machine.  Now I am trying to access it from my machine with address <IP_ADDRESS>:9100 but I don't seem able to print to it.  Any ideas?
[02:06] <zg> does ubuntu detect windows installations automatically
[02:06] <dr_willis> zg:  normally yes
[02:06] <Dougie187> In gnome classic, how do you change the modified button for move window?
[02:06] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  use the cups web interface on her machine. make sure the thing is setup to share the printer/server to the network perhaps.
[02:06] <Dougie187> Like, changing alt to super
[02:07] <KI4RO> dr_willis, CUPS web interface?
[02:07] <undertaker> i'm hav[ing issues burning an iso to a disc
[02:07] <dr_willis> Dougie187:  you mean  the alt-click anywhere to move a window feature?
[02:07] <undertaker> incredibly aggravating
[02:07] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  yes.  the cups server  has a web interface on http:// localhost:631
[02:07] <bentinata> dr_willis, if I format the disk with wubi
[02:08] <magiK_> I've been using the Xubuntu desktop instead of Unity and I haven't gotten any crashes yet so I think I'm going to be sticking with this for awhile.
[02:08] <bentinata> dr_willis, is my system still ntfs?
[02:08] <eduardo> join #ubuntubr
[02:08] <bekks> bentinata: You do not format any disks using wubi :)
[02:08] <Dougie187> dr_willis: yeah. I want to change it from alt to super.
[02:08] <KI4RO> dr_willis, I'll have a look
[02:08] <dr_willis> bentinata:   wubi installs ubuntu to a file on the windows drive.. not sure what you  formated..
[02:08] <66MAAHTUC> Hello all! Can anyone recommend a good how to, tutorial on how to setup sshJails on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or higher?
[02:08] <Dougie187> dr_willis: but in gnome classic. not unity.
[02:08] <dr_willis> Dougie187:  the alt-click thing is a feature of X> its the same reguardles sof window manager/desktop i  belive
[02:09] <undertaker> can anyone help with an .iso burning issue?
[02:09] <bentinata> I booted with an USB stick, it's wubi right?
[02:09] <Dougie187> dr_willis: well, in unity I can change it with ccsm, under the "Move windows" section. But I'm not sure how to change it in no effects gnome classic, when it doesn't have compiz running
[02:09] <bentinata> or wubi is just installation on windows?
[02:09] <magiK_> bentinata, no wubi is ran from inside windows
[02:09] <eduardo> eii
[02:09] <eduardo>  gente
[02:09] <magiK_> bentinata, do not use wubi it is very slow
[02:10] <dr_willis> well wubi installs from insode windows.. but you boot the wubi install and are not RUNNING wubi inside windows.
[02:10] <bentinata> thanks dr_willis, magiK_, bekks
[02:10] <dr_willis> its just ON a windows partition/filesytem
[02:10] <magiK_> dr_willis, Even so wubi is significantly slower
[02:10] <magiK_> dr_willis, and you will need to defragment your harddrive often.
[02:10] <dr_willis> it will be slower.. never seen any benchmarks
[02:11] <magiK_> dr_willis, I use to run ubuntu through wubi and it fragmented my hd so fast it's not even funny
[02:11] <dr_willis> that dosent make sence - the ubuntu hd file is a single huge file made at install...
[02:11] <dr_willis> so i cant imagine  why it would fragment the windows install over time.
[02:11] <magiK_> dr_willis, so I switched to a full install. more speed and don't have to worry about fragmentation issues because you have the full ext4 filesystem.
[02:12] <dr_willis> i dont use wubi. so i dont worry about wubi
[02:12] <bentinata> why people use wubi? basic installation isn't so difficult
[02:12] <undertaker> can anyone help with an .iso burning issue?
[02:12] <dr_willis> i keep waiting for wubi to get removed from the  disks
[02:12] <magiK_> dr_willis, ;) yeah wubi is cool just for someone to try out and see if they will like ubuntu
[02:13] <dr_willis> undertaker:  clarify the issue.
[02:13] <undertaker> well, i'm trying to mount this ubuntu studio .iso to a disc
[02:13] <djxvillain> Can someone please help me with this error:  "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface).  It is likely that it is not set up correctly.  Please, please, please help me.  It's on my wife's laptop and she has a lot of data on there that we can't afford to lose.  Please help.
[02:13] <Pacman_> Hey When i do Apt-get update i got Static ip set but got these errors http://pastie.org/private/3r6x6badmz377saqjjvvra
[02:13] <undertaker> acetone iso can't find my disk drive
[02:13] <dr_willis> undertaker:  you mean mount the iso to a directory?
[02:13] <undertaker> the mounter that comes with ubuntu won't even open
[02:14] <undertaker> i... have no clue
[02:14] <undertaker> i just want to get ubuntu studio and it told me to mount it to a disc
[02:14] <dr_willis> undertaker:  you BURN to an actual disk/optical drive.. you MOUNT to a directory
[02:14] <Dougie187> dr_willis: I got it. I had to use dconf-editor. Just in case you were curious. Thanks. :D
[02:14] <dr_willis> I dont see how mounting the iso will acomplish much.. whats your end goal?
[02:14] <dr_willis> Dougie187:  i dont even rember the original problem
[02:14] <Pacman_> Can someone please help Me
[02:14] <Pacman_> w?
[02:15] <bentinata> Pacman_, your issue?
[02:15] <Pacman_>  When i do Apt-get update i got Static ip set but got these errors http://pastie.org/private/3r6x6badmz377saqjjvvra
[02:15] <Pacman_> think some is wrong with my dns
[02:15] <undertaker> then i have no clue how to install ubuntu studio then...
[02:15] <dr_willis> undertaker:  you burn it to a cd/dvd or put it on a USB then boot it and use the installer.
[02:15] <dr_willis> is the normal way
[02:16] <undertaker> i burned it once when it worked but it only basically copied the iso file to a disc
[02:16] <undertaker> there was no installer on the disc, just an iso
[02:16] <dr_willis> you dont just drag/drop/copy the iso  to a disk
[02:16] <dr_willis> you BURN/IMAGE the iso to the disk
[02:16] <bentinata> Pacman_, try change your mirror
[02:16] <dr_willis> !burn
[02:16] <undertaker> that's my problem though, no program is letting me
[02:17] <dr_willis> theres iso image burning tools for windows..
[02:17] <dr_willis> infrarecorder is one.
[02:17] <dr_willis> most likely a dozen others.
[02:17] <bentinata> UNetBootIn
[02:17] <undertaker> brasero isn't, acetone isn't, not even the ubuntu default will
[02:17] <dr_willis> unetbootin puts the iso on a flash drive.. not burn to dvd
[02:17] <undertaker> that one wont even open
[02:17] <Pacman_> bentinata>  How do i do that?
[02:17] <undertaker> i need to figure out why three separate programs refuse to mount ths thing
[02:17] <Pacman_> Using Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS
[02:18] <dr_willis> undertaker:  so you are on Ubuntu now? and want to  install ubuntu-studio on top of ubuntu? or remove ubuntui and replacce it with ubuntu-studio?
[02:18] <bentinata> Pacman_, in terminal, type "software-properties-gkt"
[02:18] <dr_willis> !iso
[02:18] <undertaker> i just want to install ubuntu studio, that's all
[02:18] <dr_willis> if you really want to MOUNT it.. you cando it via the command line
[02:18] <bentinata> Pacman_, "software-properties-gtk", sorry
[02:18] <dr_willis> !info ubuntu-studio
[02:18] <Tabis> boon question: ok, so ubuntu uses grub2 - fine, but how can i install grub legacy to an external drive now?
[02:18] <undertaker> i can try that, what do i put in place of mount point?
[02:18] <dr_willis> sudo mkdir Ustudio
[02:18] <Pacman_> need to install it...
[02:19] <RollinV2> undertaker: on windows use imgburn to make the install dvd
[02:19] <dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop ubuntustudio.iso Ustudio
[02:19] <undertaker> i don't have windows
 need to install that program
[02:19] <dr_willis> will MOUNT the iso to the directory Ustudio
[02:19] <undertaker> dr_willis: the filename I have is ubuntustudio-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso
[02:19] <bentinata> dr_willis, how to change mirror for software sources?
[02:19] <nearst> hi peepl
[02:19] <dr_willis> undertaker:  so use the example and use the name you  have
[02:20] <bentinata> Pacman_, do you have software-center?
[02:20] <undertaker> and put ustudio in the place of mountpoint?
[02:20] <dr_willis> You make the mountpoing any directory name you want that exists
[02:20] <undertaker> i don't know what that is though
[02:20] <dr_willis> MAKE a directory
[02:20] <dr_willis> any directory
[02:20] <undertaker> just any?
[02:21] <dr_willis> mkdir Iwanttoputitherre
[02:21] <undertaker> so just make a file anywhere
[02:21] <dr_willis> then use that name as the mountpoint
[02:21] <dr_willis> its a DIRECTORY
[02:21] <dr_willis> !mount
[02:21] <undertaker> yes
[02:21] <undertaker> i know but i think it's clear i don't even know how to make a directory
[02:21] <dr_willis> sudo mkdir Ustudio
[02:21] <dr_willis> i said how earlier
[02:21] <undertaker> sadly
[02:21] <dr_willis> ;)
[02:22] <dr_willis> actually no need for sudo in that.
[02:22] <dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop ubuntustudio.iso Ustudio
[02:22] <undertaker> i did the mkdir thing and it did nothing
[02:22] <dr_willis> did you look and see if it made a directory?
[02:23] <undertaker> no clue how to find it
[02:23] <undertaker> but when i put in the command all it did was make a new line
[02:23] <dr_willis> use the file manager and lookl.. or try 'ls'
[02:23] <dr_willis> no error message = it worked
[02:23] <undertaker> lookl?
[02:23] <dr_willis> having commands print out large 'yes we worked perfectly' messages would benn annoying
[02:24] <dr_willis> use the ls command and look at your files.. or use the file manager to look at your directory
[02:24] <undertaker> ok, it worked
[02:24] <dr_willis> it may be time to  read a few bash beginner guides.
[02:24] <servvs> I have a built in intel 6150 wireless N wimax card in my laptop
[02:25] <undertaker> i've asked in here for a few before but no avail
[02:25] <servvs> however I am not showing a device for the wimax, only wlan0 and my lan adapter
[02:25] <undertaker> the ones i find online myself are vague to my eyes
[02:25] <dr_willis> theres 100000's of bash tutorials on the internet
 all i have is normal server install + ssh
[02:25] <undertaker> great
[02:25] <dr_willis> see whch has the  most hits/tags/votes on delicious.com  ;)
[02:25] <undertaker> but i just said the ones i've seen so far are vague, so do you have any suggestions?
[02:26] <undertaker> think backk to when you were a noob at this
[02:26] <Tabis> next try: how can i setup grub-legay to an external drive without the ubuntu preinstalled grub2?
[02:26] <dr_willis> that was 25 yrs ago undertaker  the internet dident exist then
[02:26] <dr_willis> :)
[02:26] <undertaker> christ
[02:26] <undertaker> thanks anyway
[02:26] <dr_willis> 25+ yrs.. im old
[02:26] <Tex_Nick> undertaker : youTube has a lot of good beginning vids for bash
[02:27] <dr_willis> or see who tags the most on delicious.com
[02:27] <dr_willis> Oreially's Using Bash book - is a must read also
[02:27] <siggij72_> yeah try searching for advanced shell scripting, there's a good one from vtc on utube
[02:27] <undertaker> when i did the iso command you gave me it said no such file
[02:27] <undertaker> which is bs because i directly copied the name of the file
[02:28] <dr_willis> undertaker:  use the correct name. with proper case. use tab completion to make sure its correct
[02:28] <dr_willis> or its in a differnt directory
[02:28] <dr_willis> from where you are at now
[02:28] <undertaker> i did, i shift-ins the thing in there
[02:28] <codezombie> anyone here familair with grub and the ubuntu server install process? I'm trying to write a grub.cfg file to boot an ubuntu iso from usb.
[02:28] <undertaker> it's in my downloads folder
[02:28] <servvs> any idea how to get wimax to work on ubuntu 12.10?
[02:29] <codezombie> I seem to be running into issues with the cd rom detection process since I don't have a cd rom
[02:29] <dr_willis> undertaker:  so is your shell IN the Downloads directory?
[02:29] <dr_willis> cd Downloads
[02:29] <undertaker> which shell?
[02:29] <dr_willis> the one you are typing commands  in
[02:29] <dr_willis> you either work on files in the current directory. or you give a full path to the files.
[02:30] <dr_willis> I would guess your  shell is currently cd'd to your HOME. while the iso is in /home/yourusername/Downloads
[02:30]  * akakcolin
[02:30] <undertaker> i can't even tell, the iso went straight to my downloads folder when it fnished downloading
[02:30] <dr_willis> the shells prompt shows its current directoryu or use the 'pwd' command
[02:30] <undertaker> it's home/home/downloads
[02:31] <dr_willis>  Your users name is  home?
[02:31] <psusi> codezombie, why don't you just use the usb startup disk creator?
[02:31] <codezombie> psusi: efi
[02:31] <psusi> codezombie, and?
[02:31] <undertaker> no it's schlonginator
[02:32] <dr_willis> undertaker:  so your full path to your Downloads directory would be /home/sliongwhatever/Downloads
[02:32] <codezombie> psusi: I also don't have an existing installation to use the creator.
[02:32] <psusi> codezombie, what are you using then?  windows?  unetbootbin should work
[02:33] <codezombie> psusi: I'm installing on a mac mini.
[02:33] <undertaker> it says home home downloads at the top for me
[02:33] <RollinV2> undertaker: cd ~ && cd Downloads
[02:33] <undertaker> when i click the icon with the house that says schlonginator it doesn't open anything
[02:33] <psusi> codezombie, you can just dd the image to the usb then and it should boot
[02:33] <dr_willis> use the shell.. its easier for support
[02:33] <codezombie> psusi: it in fact does not work.
[02:33] <crittek> Hello
[02:33] <undertaker> is it always this hard just to mount an image?
[02:34] <dr_willis> if you knew the basics of bash - its trivial
[02:34] <codezombie> psusi: I've attempted this a few times. Having to use a grub binary to boot the iso directly.
[02:34] <RollinV2> hard is a relative term
[02:34] <dr_willis> cd  ~/Downloads
[02:34] <dr_willis> mkdir ISODIR
[02:34] <codezombie> I get an error during the installation that states the cd rom (which there is none) is not able to be used for installation.
[02:34] <dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop ISONAME.iso  ISODIR
[02:34] <dr_willis> done....
[02:34] <undertaker> ok it says no such file or directory when i do the iso command you gave
[02:34] <undertaker> but the file is there
[02:34] <undertaker> that's what's bugging me
[02:34] <codezombie> psusi: which leads me to beleive I'm missing a critical boot flag.
[02:35] <dr_willis> and we are back to wheres your SHELL is cd'd to...
[02:35] <dr_willis> so what does 'pwd' say
[02:35] <undertaker> i have NO clue
[02:35] <dr_willis> pwd = print working diurectory
[02:35] <RollinV2> type 'pwd' in your terminal
[02:35] <servvs> where can I get wimax drivers for linux?
[02:35] <psusi> undertaker, the file is where?  does `ls` show it?
[02:35] <nearst> eww. wimax?
[02:35] <dr_willis> notice the 3 commands i gave earlier.. the first one cd's to the Downloads directory
[02:36] <M4d3L1> how do I check what is running on a specific port?
[02:36] <dr_willis> the bash proompt also shows the current directory
[02:36] <undertaker> pwd says home/schlonginator/
[02:36] <undertaker> that's it
[02:36] <dr_willis> undertaker:  so you are NOT in the Downloads directory
[02:36] <EatAtJoes> I would like to install Windows7 in a virtual machine inside my ubuntu. I have to buy windows to do this, should I buy the Windows 7 System Builder version?
[02:36] <undertaker> damn it
[02:36] <dr_willis> so give the Full path to the ISO. or cd to Downloads
[02:36] <c00kee> explain to me what samba is good for
[02:37] <dr_willis> then use the commands
[02:37] <RollinV2> cd to downloads seems safer for him
[02:37] <psusi> c00kee, sharing files over the network
[02:37] <undertaker> this is the full path /home/schlonginator/Downloads
[02:37] <dfafasdfasfd> ur doing it wrong u run k26 in w7 vm
[02:37] <dr_willis> undertaker:  now use the 'ls' command to see what files are there.
[02:37] <dr_willis> you  should see your  ISO file now
[02:38] <thec4ke> c00kee, specifically to and from windows systems
[02:38] <undertaker> all ls did was list my directories again
[02:38] <crittek> USB 802.11 adapters . . .  . supported?
[02:38] <dr_willis> you dont see your ISO file?
[02:38] <dr_willis> cd Downloads
[02:38] <dr_willis> ls
[02:38] <undertaker> where, file manager or terminal?
[02:39] <undertaker> you told me to type ls and i did
[02:39] <dr_willis> use the terminakl...
[02:39] <psusi> thec4ke, it's actually kind of good for sharing between linux systems too... NFS is kinda shite
[02:39] <dr_willis> not the filemanager
[02:39] <dr_willis> cd ~/Downloads
[02:39] <dr_willis> ls
[02:39] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, you mean 802.11 wifi adapters?
[02:39] <c00kee> how about from linux to windows systems
[02:39] <dr_willis>  should show your  iso file
[02:39] <undertaker> well right now in the terminal i have nothing
[02:39] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, like a wifi dongle or something?
[02:39] <thec4ke> yea agreed
[02:39] <dfafasdfasfd> so who can help me with a packet
[02:39] <crittek> yes
[02:39] <servvs> so am I really not going to get any help with this wimax in ubuntu?
[02:39] <undertaker> that command said no such exists
[02:39] <dr_willis> which command? what did you type EXACTLY
[02:40] <RollinV2> dr_willis: it might be easier to pastbin him a list of commands to follow at this rate
[02:40] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, depends on the adapter.
[02:40] <undertaker> cd ~/Downloads
[02:40] <crittek> trying to find compatible for Lubuntu 11.10 USB 1.1
[02:40] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, some are supported OOTB, others aren't.
[02:40] <memand> Is there a way of making the compiz function show desktop ignore a window?
[02:40] <dr_willis> boss is hollering at me.. i gotta run. back in about an hr.
[02:40] <undertaker> ok i got it
[02:40] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, if i may give you a suggestion, upgrade to 12.04 or later, 11.10'll be EOL in april.
[02:40] <undertaker> the iso isn't in there at all
[02:41] <RollinV2> undertaker: you need to learn your bash commands for cd, ls, and mount
[02:41] <psusi> undertaker, then you have to figure out where the heck it is
[02:41] <crittek> had trouble with iso file on old equip. . . . plan to upgrade
[02:41] <TheLordOfTime> crittek, as for which ones're supported, i don't know offhand, someone else might be able to help you with that, so have some patience while you wait for someone :)
[02:41] <undertaker> i know where it is! in my downloads folder
[02:41] <undertaker> i've been saying that this whole time
[02:41] <crittek> thanx
[02:41] <psusi> undertaker, you just said it insn't
[02:41] <RollinV2> undertaker: no you dont know where it is
[02:41] <memand> I have a teminal set up as a transparent bacgground, but it kind of loses its point if it also disapears when I "show desktop"
[02:41] <undertaker> when i go to my downloads folder, it's right there
[02:42] <undertaker> that's where it went when it finished downloading
[02:42] <psusi> undertaker, then typing ls ~/Downloads in a terminal should show it
[02:42] <dfafasdfasfd> where is !noobhelp channel
[02:42] <undertaker> this is ridiculous
[02:42] <undertaker> not you guys
[02:43] <memand> dfafasdfasfd: What seems to be the problem?
[02:43] <undertaker> this entire thing
[02:43] <thec4ke> undertaker, type this:  find / -name "*.iso"
[02:43] <matrixfox> locate thefile.name
[02:43] <thec4ke> it might take a while
[02:43] <dfafasdfasfd> memand i need help with a packet
[02:43] <undertaker> it brings up every file in downloads BUT my ido
[02:43] <RollinV2> he might not have locate installed
[02:43] <undertaker> iso*
[02:43] <psusi> who said anything about locate?
[02:43] <memand> dfafasdfasfd: You need to be more specific than that :)
[02:43] <undertaker> now it shows up
[02:43] <dfafasdfasfd> dns Standard query A x.x.x
[02:44] <RollinV2> psusi: matrixfox did
[02:44] <memand> dfafasdfasfd: what do you want help with?
[02:44] <dfafasdfasfd> I want to know what it is. Is it wireless specific? I cant find any info about it
[02:44] <dfafasdfasfd> and the x.x.x is actually<PHONE_NUMBER>78
[02:44] <undertaker> k so the iso is in downloads
[02:45] <undertaker> !iso
[02:45] <psusi> dfafasdfasfd, what the heck are you talking about?
[02:45] <KI4RO> dr_willis, Thank you so much...it is printing from my machine now...now just have to try to get it working from my son's Windows machine, but that will wait until tmw LOL
[02:45] <undertaker> already did that
[02:45] <undertaker> damn
[02:45] <dfafasdfasfd> a dns query packet
[02:45] <bazhang> !ot | dfafasdfasfd
[02:45] <psusi> dfafasdfasfd, what about them?
[02:45] <bazhang> dfafasdfasfd, that has nothing to do with ubuntu try ##networking
[02:46] <dfafasdfasfd> ok
[02:46] <RollinV2> anyone have good starting dotfiles for ubuntu 12.04/12.10.. im redoing mine and appreciate starting suggestions. thanks.
[02:46] <RollinV2> bonus if github repo
[02:48] <memand> Anyone here that has an idea as to how I can make a window imune to compiz's show desktop function?
[02:48] <ejat> anyone having issues with display driver on raring kernel 3.7.0/3.8.0 on macbookpro ?
[02:48] <undertaker> Still getting no suh file or directory when i try to mount this iso
[02:48] <cfhowlett> #ubuntu+1|ejat,
[02:48] <bazhang> ejat, #ubuntu+1 for raring
[02:48] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1|ejat,
[02:49] <RollinV2> undertaker: what directory are you in. type 'pwd' on the command line
[02:49] <escott> undertaker, paste.ubuntu.com your terminal session
[02:50] <newbie|3> hello!
[02:50] <RollinV2> escott: wow, excellent suggestion.
[02:50] <undertaker> one sec
[02:50] <Egon> newbie|3: howdy
[02:50] <cfhowlett> newbie|3, greetings
[02:51] <Haematoma> Hi, is anyone here familiar with rtorrent configuration?
[02:51] <undertaker> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1518884/
[02:51] <escott> RollinV2, can't tell if that was serious or sarcastic
[02:51] <bazhang> Haematoma, whats the exact issue
[02:51] <RollinV2> escott: serious.
[02:52] <RollinV2> escott: though a joke about how many nerds it takes to cd into a downloads directory could be made right now.. haha
[02:52] <escott> undertaker, thats not enough to say. you are in ~ the file ubuntustudio-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso is not in ~
[02:52] <Haematoma> I have two watch folders, labeled watch1 and watch2.
[02:52] <Haematoma> I want downloads in progress for watch1 to go in progress1, when they are completed I want them to go into completed1
[02:52] <escott> undertaker, if that file is in ~/Downloads you need to "cd Downloads" first or "sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/ubuntustudio..."
[02:52] <Haematoma> for watch 2, I want downloads in progress to go into folder progress 2, and for completed downloads completed 2
[02:52] <undertaker> my fundamental issue this entire time has been that error
[02:53] <bazhang> Haematoma, on a single line, thats impossible to read
[02:53] <Haematoma> bazhang:  sorry, I will try again.
[02:53] <undertaker> and that's where i get lost
[02:54] <Haematoma> bazhang: I want rtorrent to move completed downloads into different folders depending on the watch folder
[02:54] <undertaker> i did the cd downloads command before this and nothing was solved
[02:54] <thec4ke> undertaker, do you understand what cd does?
[02:55] <RollinV2> man cd
[02:55] <escott> RollinV2, no man entry. its a builtin
[02:55] <undertaker> very vaguely
[02:55] <cfhowlett> info cd
[02:55] <thec4ke> your shell is like a folder
[02:55] <thec4ke> youre always "in a  directory"
[02:55] <thec4ke> cd changes the directory youre in
[02:55] <psusi> undertaker, how are you lost... you are being given the exact commands to type, yet you apparently keep refusing to type the first one
[02:55] <RollinV2> escott: really? ive never .... ah wow. learned something new today
[02:55] <thec4ke> see at the end of your prompt
[02:55] <thec4ke> you have the little ~
[02:56] <undertaker> dude I've been typing every single command given
[02:56] <thec4ke> that means youre currently in your home directory
[02:56] <thec4ke> its an alias for home
[02:56] <undertaker> refusing?
[02:56] <escott> undertaker, if you "cd Downloads" your prompt should become schlonginator@schlong:/home/schlonginator/Downloads$ and "ls" should list the ubuntustudio iso file
[02:56] <thec4ke> you need to do cd Downloads
[02:56] <psusi> undertaker, you have not been typing the "cd Downloads" command
[02:56] <cfhowlett> undertaker, help cd will give you the program commands
[02:56] <undertaker> haha ok, let me show you what happened when I typed cd downloads then
[02:56] <thec4ke> that means change directory to tDownloads
[02:56] <undertaker> since I didn't do it three times or anything
[02:57] <RollinV2> ubuntu is also case sensitive, downloads != Downloads
[02:57] <undertaker> schlonginator@schlong:~$ cd downloads bash: cd: downloads: No such file or directory
[02:57] <thec4ke> its case sensitive..
[02:57] <psusi> undertaker, it's a capital D
[02:57] <escott> undertaker, cAse SENsiTIVE
[02:57] <RollinV2> called it. lol
[02:57] <undertaker> i remember doing it with a capital too, and it gave this schlonginator@schlong:~/Downloads$
[02:57] <thec4ke> that is what you want
[02:57] <undertaker> this was like 20 min ago
[02:57] <thec4ke> but
[02:58] <escott> undertaker, then does the iso appear if you type "ls"
[02:58] <thec4ke> you somehow are no longer ther
[02:58] <RollinV2> you had it undertaker
[02:58] <undertaker> did that too, and yes it does
[02:58] <Haematoma> bazhang: nvm, i think i figured it out. thanks anyhow
[02:58] <thec4ke> the mount command should work now
[02:58] <thec4ke> because youre in the  right directory to use it
[02:59] <undertaker> this is exactly what I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/1518892/
[02:59] <undertaker> line 19 has the iso I'm trying to install
[02:59] <thec4ke> now do the mount command
[02:59] <thec4ke> the one that failed earlier
[03:00] <matrixfox> undertaker: cd ~/Downloads
[03:00] <psusi> undertaker, now mount it
[03:00] <escott> undertaker, then "sudo mount -o loop ubuntustudio-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso ~/poop should work if there is a "poop" directory in ~
[03:00] <psusi> undertaker, you did create the "poop" directory right?
[03:01] <undertaker> yes
[03:01] <RollinV2> escott: i really wish we could make that the room topic for today
[03:01] <skp1> haha
[03:01] <memand> lol
[03:01] <undertaker> escott: this is what i got mount: warning: /home/schlonginator/poop seems to be mounted read-only.
[03:01] <matrixfox> that's fine...
[03:02] <escott> undertaker, sounds like you have already successfully mounted the loopback at some point in the past
[03:02] <psusi> undertaker, then mount it now.. and note that tab completion works in the shell so you don't have to type the full file name, just the first few letters, then hitting tab should fill in the rest
[03:02] <escott> undertaker, "mount | grep poop" what does that output
[03:02] <psusi> undertaker, the iso9660 filesystem ms read only by definition
[03:02] <psusi> s/ms/is
[03:03] <undertaker> escott: /home/schlonginator/Downloads/ubuntustudio-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso on /home/schlonginator/poop type iso9660 (ro)
[03:03] <escott> RollinV2, gotta love the 12 year old guys
[03:03] <escott> undertaker, its already mounted
[03:03] <undertaker> but not installed?
[03:03] <escott> !xy | undertaker
[03:03] <psusi> umm.. no... mounting != install
[03:04] <memand> what exactly is it that we are trying to do?
[03:05] <undertaker> i don't think that's totally accurate but whatever
[03:05] <RollinV2> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation
[03:05] <psusi> undertaker, if you want to install ubuntu studio, then you need to either burn it to a cd, or use the usb startup disk creator to write it to a usb flash stick, then boot from it
[03:05] <undertaker> that was my inital problem!
[03:05] <thec4ke> :\
[03:05] <RollinV2> undertaker do you want to upgrade an existing ubuntu install to studio, or start fresh?
[03:05] <bazhang> is a lie
[03:05] <undertaker> i said that at the beginning, three programs won't burn this to a disc
[03:06] <RollinV2> undertaker: you can upgrade to studio
[03:06] <escott> undertaker, you clearly have a working linux system. how did you install that one?
[03:06] <undertaker> i said that, and i got led on this lovely rollercoaster of mounting
[03:06] <thec4ke> rofl
[03:06] <memand> undertaker: you wan't to install this ubuntu studio distro right?

[03:06] <thec4ke> i think someome missunderstood you
[03:06] <thec4ke> mounting has nothing to do with this
[03:07] <undertaker> [21:13] <undertaker> well, i'm trying to mount this ubuntu studio .iso to a disc
[03:07] <thec4ke> mount doesnt mean burn
[03:07] <psusi> undertaker, you don't 'mount to a disk'... you burn to a disk
[03:07] <thec4ke> thats where the confusion is
[03:07] <memand> undertaker: do you have a usb drive near by?
[03:07] <psusi> which are you trying to use, a flash drive, or a dvd?
[03:08] <RollinV2> undertaker: what operating system and version are you using right now?
[03:08] <undertaker> DVD
[03:08] <undertaker> Ubuntu 12.10
[03:08] <thec4ke> the live DVD?
[03:08] <undertaker> i ave a blank dvd
[03:08] <psusi> undertaker, then fire up brasero and burn the iso to the disc
[03:08] <RollinV2> undertaker: ok, you cant upgrade to studio.. you need to install it fresh
[03:08] <undertaker> thats one of the programs i said wasn't working an hour ago
[03:09] <dr_willis> RollinV2:  i was thinking that also..
[03:09] <undertaker> brasero and acetone can't find my disc drive
[03:09] <cfhowlett> undertaker, do you have vanilla ubuntu installed?  Because you CAN easily upgrade that to Ubuntustudio ...
[03:09] <psusi> define "don't work"
[03:09] <undertaker> cfhowlett: no
[03:09] <memand> remember to do it at the slowest bur speed posible (no kidding) so it has the smallest chance f'ing uo anything ;)
[03:09] <psusi> well if your drive isn't working then you've got a problem
[03:09] <thec4ke> undertaker, did you install ubuntu?
[03:09] <escott> undertaker, somehow somewhere someday you burned yourself an ubuntu cd because you *have* a working ubuntu system right? why not recreate that process but with the ubuntustudio iso
[03:09] <cfhowlett> undertaker, ok.  USB installation is not an option?
[03:09] <thec4ke> or are you just running it from the dvd
[03:09] <RollinV2> dr_willis: ya.. this is a rare time i'd like to see studio work on the *.10 releases
[03:10] <undertaker> let me send shots of what happens in acetone and brasero...
[03:10] <dr_willis> RollinV2:  ive rarely messed with Studio, never really clear on the differances. It does have  a custom kernel i thought
[03:10] <bazhang> undertaker, do you have a current ubuntu install
[03:10] <dr_willis> xcombust seems to work well for burining isos also
[03:10] <undertaker> 12.10
[03:10] <bazhang> undertaker, is that a yes
[03:11] <dr_willis> Im not even sure why people would need Ubuntu-studio instead of normal ubuntu ;))
[03:11] <thec4ke> real time kernel
[03:11] <thec4ke> better for rendering audio i and video in real time
[03:11] <undertaker> this is acetone: http://imagebin.org/242461
[03:11] <bazhang> undertaker, if you have ubuntu currently, then just install the ubuntustudio-desktop package
[03:11] <cfhowlett> dr_willis, some people like oysters, some people like clams ...
[03:11] <thec4ke> for things like sequencing and video editing
[03:11] <dr_willis> cfhowlett:  i perfer Steak!
[03:12] <dr_willis> ;)
[03:12] <bazhang> !info ubuntustudio-desktop | undertaker
[03:12] <RollinV2> bazhang: i dont think he can? its not in 12.10 right?
[03:12] <chamunks> whats the default tracert tool included in ubuntu.
[03:12] <psusi> unless you are recording music you are creating with a synthesiser, there's no need for that
[03:12] <bazhang> RollinV2, see above
[03:12] <undertaker> http://imagebin.org/242462 brasero
[03:12] <RollinV2> ahhhh
[03:12] <bazhang> undertaker, please note what I just said
[03:12] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop
[03:13] <dr_willis> will convert a ubuntu install into a ubuntu-studio install then. :)
[03:13] <bazhang> undertaker, there is Zero reason to burn another iso
[03:13] <dr_willis> it will install a LOT of extra stuff
[03:13] <undertaker> ubuntustudio-desktop package? is that in sw center?
[03:13] <skp1> i gotta pee, brb
[03:13] <bazhang> undertaker, YES
[03:13] <thec4ke> or if youre using av processors
[03:13] <dr_willis> undertaker:  the bot says it is.
[03:13] <undertaker> i was directed to do this iso stuff yesterday in the forums
[03:13] <cfhowlett> undertaker, I'm an ubuntustudio fan(atic).  If you don't need the full meal deal, why not install just vanilla ubuntu and the components you need rather than the full ubuntustudio?
[03:13] <thec4ke> which you undoubtedly are
[03:13] <psusi> that's weird.. a blank dvd holds 4.7g not 2.6
[03:14] <undertaker> that struck me as odd too
[03:14] <bazhang> undertaker, so install that package, select from login, and you have ubuntustudio
[03:14] <undertaker> there's no studio in the sw center
[03:14] <thec4ke> youll need to reboot the pc to load the new kernel as well
[03:15] <dr_willis> command should be ---->    sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop
[03:15] <bazhang> undertaker, do it from the command line then. IT'S there
[03:15] <undertaker> guessing it's a terminal install
[03:15] <psusi> undertaker, have you burned this disc before?
[03:15] <RollinV2> undertaker: also read this when you get some time. bookmark it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[03:15] <dr_willis> or you are  the software center is hideing it under advanced type items
[03:15] <cfhowlett> undertaker, note that 12.10 is NOT recommended.  12.04, the LTS release is the recommended package.  Why?  Bleeding/cutting edge interim releases break.  LTS releases are a bit more stable.  For a working, production studio machine, you might want to factor that in ...
[03:15] <bazhang> psusi, he does not to burn a disk at all
[03:17] <psusi> only think I can think of is that this disc has been burned and then blanked maybe, which doesn't work with -R media since it can't be erased
[03:17] <undertaker> so i should install 12.04?
[03:17] <undertaker> (yes, i know i need to learn this shit)
[03:18] <dr_willis> is this for real work.. or for you playing around.. ;)
[03:18] <cfhowlett> undertaker, I'd suggest you consider it.
[03:18] <RollinV2> undertaker: i started with ubuntu studio years ago because i thought the wallpaper was pretty.. trust me.. you will learn and improve. dont be discouraged.
[03:18] <psusi> undertaker, make sure you are using a fresh disc
[03:18] <cfhowlett> undertaker, as rollinv2 stated, you WILL learn how these things work.
[03:19] <dr_willis> undertaker:  why do you specifically need ubuntu-studio anyway?
[03:19] <undertaker> video editing
[03:19] <undertaker> i have a channel
[03:20] <dr_willis> what kind of editing?
[03:20] <oitofelix> Hello.  I'm trying to play sound using SDL with NAS driver, but if I try it with mplayer or Audacious I get "Failed to open audio stream: No available audio device." NAS is working nice.  Only SDL over NAS driver has that issue.  Can anyone help?
[03:20] <dr_willis> unless its somthing critical - the normal desktop may work fine for you
[03:20] <Rajvi> Hi All, This might sound stupid! - How to apply themes on 12.10. I installed some. I know where they are!
[03:20] <undertaker> the normal desktop?
[03:21] <undertaker> raj, you might need tweak tool
[03:21] <Rajvi> Suggest something!
[03:21] <dr_willis> undertaker:  yes the normal ubuntu 12.10 desktop can do most video editing tasks fine. Ubuntu studio has a real time jernel and other tweaks for RECORDING  that make it better in some cases
[03:22] <pmp6nl> Hello,  I have a usb external hard drive.  Every so often while I am creating an encrypted file via truecrypt it will randomly unmount.  Any ideas?  Thanks
[03:22] <dr_willis> but i doubt if you will notice much of a differance
[03:22] <undertaker> i don't have any video editors on here though
[03:22] <cfhowlett> undertaker, openshot
[03:23] <dr_willis> you can install anything On ubuntu thats on ubuntu-studio. they use the same software sources
[03:23] <cfhowlett> undertaker, video editing ... openshot
[03:23] <undertaker> does that come preinstalled/
[03:23] <RollinV2> pmp6nl: is the drive usb or a/c powered? if usb it miht disconnect from lack of power
[03:23] <RollinV2> might*
[03:23] <cfhowlett> undertaker, no.  see software center and install
[03:23] <dr_willis> i think theres like 4  nonlinear video editors out now isent there? Openshot, kino, that one by the VLC guys?  and some other
[03:23] <escott> pmp6nl, check dmesg
[03:23] <pmp6nl> RollinV2, its usb3, no ac
[03:23] <undertaker> Rajvi: Do you have tweak tool?
[03:24] <dr_willis> My USB3 Hard disks have AC Power. ;)
[03:24] <cfhowlett> dr_willis, avidemux is the other well know VE
[03:24] <dr_willis> or the big ones do at least.
[03:24] <dr_willis> thats more of a converter isent it?  I rarely work with video
[03:25] <psusi> esata for teh winz
[03:25] <tompa> how do u oben and install a ".deb" file?
[03:25] <RollinV2> cloud storage ftw
[03:25] <dr_willis> tompa:  one way  sudo gdebi foo.deb
[03:25] <Rajvi> No, I know some, but don't know which one would be good?
[03:25] <psusi> tompa, you can install it with sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[03:25] <dr_willis> tompa:  if you have gdebi instggalled.
[03:25] <cfhowlett> dr_willis, I've never used it.  Openshot is so intuitive, even an old hound like me can figure it out...
[03:25] <dr_willis> gdebi will pull in needed dependencies. so its handy
[03:26] <undertaker> Rajvi: where did you download the the theme from?
[03:26] <FatsDomino> brok was always good
[03:26] <tompa> dr_willis so it would be sudo gdeb foo.deb + what? how does the terminal know which file to choose?
[03:26] <pmp6nl> RollinV2, escott not sure if anything helpful is in dmesg, would you mind checking?  http://pastebin.com/eiNg9E0D
[03:26] <tompa> psusi
[03:26] <dr_willis> tompa:  thats it...  use the name of your deb
[03:26] <psusi> tompa, you tell it the file to choose?  hence the foo.deb argument
[03:26] <dr_willis> ;)
[03:26] <tompa> dr_willis okey
[03:27] <escott> pmp6nl, [ 3449.820734] Buffer I/O error on device sdb5, logical block 34997455
[03:27] <escott> [ 3449.820736] lost page write due to I/O error on sdb5
[03:27] <dr_willis> kids these days.. dont know the   foo/bar  terms
[03:27] <psusi> tompa, "foo" is a wild card expression for "insert correct name here"
[03:27] <Rajvi> from here sudo apt-get install delorean-varnam-theme
[03:27] <docmur> I have minidlna installed on my server and when I had one media_dir=V,FOLDER listed I could rescan the folder and it worked prefectly, today I added 4 more folders accross different mount points but now it wont rescan, it will start fine but I can't get minidlna to see the new files
[03:27] <undertaker> Rajvi: ok, go to the sw center and get "tweak tool"
[03:27] <dr_willis> FatsDomino:  dont me msging me.. and dont be msging people useless spam
[03:27] <psusi> escott, are there lines before and after that?
[03:28] <escott> psusi, line 323 and such
[03:28] <Rajvi> ok
[03:28] <pmp6nl> escott, some sort of disk error.  fdisk it?
[03:29] <RollinV2> dr_willis: one day at a time. they will learn.
[03:29] <Rajvi> i DON'T SEE weak tool in Software Center
[03:29] <undertaker> tweak tool?
[03:29] <farfu> hi there, I was wondering what do you guys suggest to do on a new installation of Ubunto 12.10 on a PC Pentium 4 where the side bar does not appear
[03:29] <escott> pmp6nl, its possible it is going to sleep
[03:29] <dr_willis> i think the theme tool got renamed in 12.10
[03:29] <RollinV2> Rajvi: sudo apt-get install tweak-tool
[03:29] <pmp6nl> escott, is there a way to keep it awake?
[03:29] <dr_willis> !info tweak-tool
[03:29] <undertaker> it's called tweak tool for me
[03:29] <Rajvi> Thnks guys
[03:29] <skp1> it;s gnome-tweak-tool
[03:29] <dr_willis> !info gnome-tweak-tool
[03:30] <Rajvi> i will use the terminal
[03:30] <psusi> !ops
[03:30] <psusi> someone wanna show FatsDomino the door?  he's spamming/phishing/begging for money in private msgs
[03:30] <bazhang> psusi, whats up
[03:30] <RollinV2> gah, im 0 for 2 on remembering exact app names today
[03:30] <hexstatik> it there a way to improve the smoothness of 12.10 system wide? im getting some tearing and some stuttering...running on a 120hz monitor very noticeable
[03:31] <hexstatik> seems like there should be a way to turn up the rendered fps or something like that
[03:31] <Rajvi> Tweak tool is not in my repos, i guess :(
[03:31] <RollinV2> hexstatik: install 12.04, or install xfce, or install mate/cinnimon, or install gnome 3 if you live dangerous
[03:31] <hexstatik> RollinV2: 12.04 was smoother?
[03:32] <hexstatik> RollinV2: this is my frist ubuntu install in last 5 years
[03:32] <farfu> great! I will do the 12.04 and give it a try. THx
[03:32] <RollinV2> hexstatik: for me unity was much smoother in 12.04. it may vary for you of course
[03:32] <bazhang> RollinV2, recommend ing MINT ppa is not good advice at all.  unity and gnome-shell are all gnome3
[03:33] <Rajvi> Can i use MYunity would that would work
[03:33] <bazhang> Rajvi, what version of ubuntu are you on
[03:33] <RollinV2> bazhang: "if you live dangerous" implied that.
[03:33] <Rajvi> 12.10
[03:33] <njd001> re-hi i thnk i missed something earlier when you said i could adjust nano's colours you mentioned nanorc but there was somehting else you guys suggested i look at
[03:33] <bazhang> Rajvi, why not just change themes with system settings
[03:34] <Rajvi> I m not able to do so :(
[03:34] <Rajvi> only shows default themes!
[03:34] <bazhang> Rajvi, give a link to the theme please
[03:34] <RollinV2> njd001: could be any of the dotfiles. .. .vimrc, .bashrc, etc
[03:35] <Rajvi> http://www.itworld.com/software/315365/install-ten-great-unity-and-gnome-shell-themes-ubuntu-1210
[03:35] <bazhang> Rajvi, which one or ones
[03:35] <Rajvi> all
[03:35] <bazhang> Rajvi, are you on gnome-shell or unity
[03:35] <Rajvi> Unity
[03:36] <Rajvi> Gimme a tool or something too apply these. I know where they are installed!
[03:36] <njd001> this Fusha color for comments section is *killing* me i practically have to cross my eyes to read it
[03:36] <pmp6nl> escott, i will give sudo hdparm -S 0 /dev/sdb5 a try
[03:37] <njd001> the .bashrc maybe ?
[03:37] <bazhang> Rajvi, they are not fully compatible with 12.04
[03:37] <Rajvi> Alright, guys.. I gave you guys enough headche with these
[03:37] <dr_willis> i think ubuntu-tweak (get it from its homepage) akso has some theme selection section
[03:38] <Rajvi> I will find out.
[03:38] <bazhang> Rajvi, it says so in the comments on that link
[03:38] <dr_willis> ive been using gnome-shell lately. ;)
[03:38] <njd001> looks like its .bashrc
[03:38] <dr_willis> it has its own tweaking tools.
[03:39] <njd001> thanks for that RollinV2 i was banging my head on a wall trying to figure out who would pick fusha for a background color
[03:40] <RollinV2> njd001: thats the beauty of linux. dont like it. change it :-)
[03:40] <njd001> yes i can't find it
[03:40] <njd001> i dont think im spelling fusha right
[03:40] <njd001> maybe pink?
[03:41] <njd001> I am looking at TCL eggdrop scripts for stock quotes and i can't read the notes section :(
[03:41] <bazhang> fuchsia
[03:42] <bentinata> hahaha, ubuntu is cute with fuchsia
[03:43] <Mkop1> for some reason ubuntu is not recognizing my microphone. anyone have advice for how to troubleshoot?
[03:43]  * njd001 isnt finding a color blinding me 'cute'
[03:44] <escott> pmp6nl, doubt that will help its probably a usb issue
[03:44] <pmp6nl> escott, ya it didnt help.  No truecrypt is complaining of a disk error.  Do you know how to revert hdparm -S ?
[03:45] <hexstatik> it there a way to improve the smoothness of 12.10 system wide? im getting some tearing and some stuttering...running on a 120hz monitor very noticeable
[03:48] <dr_willis> you mean for video playback> or the desktop
[03:48] <hexstatik> desktop
[03:48] <hexstatik> for example if i take a window and drag it around
[03:48] <dr_willis> ccsm has some sync to vblank setting i recall
[03:48] <hexstatik> there is some 'ghosting'
[03:48] <hexstatik> lemme see
[03:49] <njd001> hmmmmmmm
[03:49] <njd001> this is bugging me nothing in the .bashrc
[03:49] <hexstatik> dr_willis: and i am on a 120hz monitor, its much smoother in windows
[03:50] <hexstatik> dr_willis: its almost as if the frames per second are capped at say 60 and not 120
[03:50] <dr_willis> could be your only at 60mhz rate also
[03:50] <hexstatik> in other words im not getting the maximum out of my 120hz monitor which costs 400 dollars
[03:50] <hexstatik> you mean my system or the monitor? the monitor is at 120hz
[03:50] <dr_willis> check the monitor settings tool
[03:50] <hexstatik> the monitor is at 120hz
[03:51] <hexstatik> i checked, and i can tell from my cursor
[03:51] <hexstatik> i have two monitors actually one 120hz one 60hz
[03:51] <hexstatik> so its easy to compare
[03:51] <dr_willis> you got better eyes then me  then..  ;)
[03:51] <dr_willis> I recall old amiga days with interlaced displays at like 15hz ;)
[03:51] <hexstatik> yea i remember playing doom
[03:52] <hexstatik> on a laptop in early 90s
[03:52] <hexstatik> it was a slideshow
[03:53] <keber> if you wanna be billionaire, you must go over 3 seas
[03:53] <krzkrz> anyone can recomment a terminal that stores sessions?
[03:53] <dr_willis> krzkrz:  clarify what you mean by that.
[03:54] <bazhang> keber, what?
[03:54] <hexstatik> krzkrz: quake stores your commands and you can view them with up arrow, i think regular terminal does too
[03:54] <njd001> RollinV2 any other ideas how to get rid of this Fusicha comment colors
[03:54] <krzkrz> dr_willis, youve used maxosx before?
[03:54] <hexstatik> keber: what if just millionare will do?
[03:54] <bazhang> keber, no more nonsense, stay on topic
[03:55] <thec4ke> krzkrz: gnu screen can save and resume sessions
[03:55] <krzkrz> dr_willis, im trying to create a window group
[03:55] <krzkrz> so when i open a terminal. other tabs with commands will execute
[03:56] <krzkrz> when i reboot, i dont need to manually open all these tabs and execute each command
[03:56] <dr_willis> not seen one that remembers
[03:57] <dr_willis> ssh would really confuse it i bet
[03:57] <krzkrz> dr_willis, what approach can i take?
[03:57] <tompa> how do you uninstall something you didnt install through ubuntu software center?
[03:58] <krzkrz> i dont want to have to manually open each tab and run each command after reboot
[03:59] <jake_> I need to remove  ubuntu as a dual boot for windows 8 and reinstall it. how do i do that?
[03:59] <bazhang> jake_, then just install over it
[03:59] <dr_willis> just reinstall and reformat
[04:00] <jake_> when you say reformat it what do you mean?
[04:00] <dr_willis> ubuntu installer can format the artitions
[04:00] <dr_willis> partitions
[04:01] <dr_willis> why are you reinstalling
[04:01] <jake_> ok. is it more beneficial to use windows installer or a disk to install it
[04:01] <jake_> because i used windows installer and its really slow compared to what i think it should be.
[04:01] <dr_willis> windows installer is wubi
[04:01] <jake_> yes i used wubi
[04:01] <dr_willis> not a normal install
[04:02] <jake_> but i feel using a usb or disk will be better. correct?
[04:02] <dr_willis> avoid wubi
[04:02] <dr_willis> faster. es
[04:02] <dr_willis> yes
[04:02] <hexstatik> dr_willis: in ccsm under composite i found refresh rate
[04:02] <bazhang> jake_, the installer will handle resizing etc
[04:02] <hexstatik> "rate at which screen is reddrawn", i am not familiar with the term reddrawn
[04:02] <jake_> will it automatically write over the last version of ubuntu?
[04:03] <dr_willis> hexstatik: general tab has a vsync setting i recall
[04:03] <hexstatik> vsync is off
[04:03] <hexstatik> but
[04:03] <hexstatik> and vsync is not the ussue
[04:03] <dr_willis> tell the installer what to do.. is best
[04:04] <hexstatik> i just tried 30 in refresh rate
[04:04] <dr_willis> jake_: the installer will not remove a wubi install
[04:04] <hexstatik> and it is indeed the fps
[04:04] <Aironet> hello all I am having trouble connecting my aironet CB21Ag-A-K9 wirless cardbus on a panasonic toughbook running Xubuntu 12.10. The drivers are there but is shows as eth0 is this correct?
[04:04] <bazhang> jake_, not with wubi, no. add/remove in windows to remove that wubi
[04:04] <jake_> how do i remove a wubi install?
[04:05] <jake_> oh alright cool. it still gives me an option to boot into ubuntu though?
[04:05] <tompa> how do i uninstall a program i didnt install from ubuntu software center?
[04:05] <Aironet> can anyone please help me?
[04:05] <bentinata> tompa, sudo apt-get remove "program name"
[04:06] <bentinata> tompa, and if you want to clear the remain file of that program, use --purge
[04:07] <njd001> figured it out
[04:07] <njd001> it was the tcl.nanorc file :D
[04:08] <ogist> Hello, I have a file /home/ogist/quake2/quake2 and I want to make a shortcut of it on the desktop. How do I go about this? :)
[04:08] <dr_willis> wubi is in the windows add/remove programs list
[04:09] <KsM> ln -s /home/ogist/quake2/quake2 ~/Desktop/Quake\ 2
[04:09] <Aironet> Hello I have a aironet wifi cardbus that wont be seen by Xubuntu does anyone have advice on how to connect it?
[04:09] <KsM> alternatively a .desktop file where you can specify an icon and stuff
[04:09] <dr_willis> make a script ogist that cd then runs the game  may work better
[04:09] <tompa> bentinata how do I know what the program is named? Seems that Oracles VM isnt named "virtualbox" then :/
[04:09] <bitpimp> I am running a ubuntu 10.04 server and installed rails through the repos; I need to update rails due to the recent exploit; any suggestions?
[04:09] <root_> .
[04:11] <krzkrz> i hate how you have to type ctrl+shift v or c to paste or copy in terminal
[04:11] <dr_willis> hmm a security fix should get put in to the  normal updates i would think
[04:11] <krzkrz> couldnt they have just made it ctrl+c and ctrl+v
[04:11] <dr_willis> or use a ppa , or source for a newer version
[04:12] <Aironet> Hi I am having wireless connectivity problems using Xubuntu anyone have advice?
[04:12] <dr_willis> krzkrz:  ctrl-c was used by bash/unix befor MS took it over for pasteing
[04:12] <dr_willis> krzkrz:  i tend to just select/middle click the mouse
[04:13] <ogist> it says the link is broken
[04:13] <dr_willis> ogist:  perhaps you did a typo
[04:14] <krzkrz> dr_willis, im coming from macosx. the interface and shortcuts in osx look more consistent
[04:14] <chmac> Does Thunderbird have a stop button? It's been downloading 70/100 messages in my inbox for >5 minutes. I want to cancel it and start over...
[04:14] <emes> I'm trying to install acroread on 12.10, but it requires libgtk2.0-0:i386 which apt-get barfs when I try to install
[04:14] <dr_willis> ogist:  running a game via a link may not work properly. a shell script may be a better idea
[04:15] <ogist> ok
[04:15] <ogist> yeah
[04:15] <dr_willis> a launcher.desktop file running a script may be an even better idea
[04:15] <ogist> it just opens and closes
[04:15] <ogist> ok
[04:15] <dr_willis> many games/apps NEED to be ran from their 'data' directory
[04:15] <ogist> it came with a .desktop file
[04:15] <dr_willis> it may have came with a script as well. ;)
[04:15] <ogist> actually the tar.gz file came with bin share and lib, i had to move the bin file to the share and the lib file to the share/baseq2
[04:15] <jake_> it still appears to not all be removed. why?
[04:16] <dr_willis> theres also updated versions of quake2 i recall that just use the games original  data files
[04:16] <ogist> then i go into the folder and double click quake2
[04:16] <krzkrz> dr_willis, what version of ubunut are you using. im curious?
[04:16] <dr_willis> using 12.10 on  my desktop box.
[04:16] <dr_willis> been using my raspberry Pi more ttthis month.   however.
[04:17] <dr_willis> ogist:  running from terminal will print any error messages. and better for trouble shooting
[04:17] <ogist> Untrusted application Launcher when i open Quake II.desktop
[04:17] <krzkrz> dr_willis, raspberry Pi?
[04:17] <dr_willis> Yep. Got me a Raspberry Pi running as my znc server now
[04:17] <mansoor-s> I am unable to connect to my server with SSH (http://pastie.org/private/yr4niedzxdhzz1ojgakqrq). Could anyone take a look and tell me whats going on?
[04:18] <ogist> dr_willis: i downloaded this tar.gz file for quake2, it has it compiled already but the executable comes in a folder by itself and i had to put it in with the share folder to get it to work
[04:18] <ogist> im not sure where i am supposed to move all these files, so i just copied the bin file and lib files to the share dir and i run the executable from there and it works
[04:18] <dr_willis> ogist:  came from where?
[04:18] <MTsol> Is there a way I can download the additional driver straight from windows?
[04:19] <ogist> http://quake2world.net/files/quake2-quake2world.net-x86_64.tar.gz
[04:19] <ogist> this is the file
[04:19] <ogist> it's precompiled
[04:19] <bazhang> MTsol, driver for what
[04:19] <ogist> i just dont know what to do with the folders
[04:19] <ogist> bin share and lib
[04:19] <ogist> that's what is in the tar.gz file
[04:20] <ogist> also Quake II.desktop
[04:20] <MTsol> bazhang: Well I'm having the display issue but I got it to come up by pressing the brightness key but now its having trouble keeping a wireless connection
[04:20] <bazhang> MTsol, driver for what
[04:21] <MTsol> And if I do get it to connect to wireless it has trouble staying connected
[04:21] <bentinata> tompa, it named vbox
[04:21] <MTsol> So i guess ubuntu wureless drivers?
[04:21] <memand> Okay this is officially driving me mad now, I have a terminal window that I have set up to act like a Transparent terminal background. And that is all fine, exept that when I do "show desktop" in compiz for example, it also dissapears. I have tried to set a window rule in compiz that this window should be un-minimizable and unmovable, but no luck there...
[04:21] <bazhang> MTsol, what chipset
[04:22] <dr_willis> ogist:  id say check their docs. Most likely you can copuy them all to the /usr/share  directory
[04:22] <MTsol> bazhang: How do I find that out?
[04:23] <ogist> dr_willis
[04:23] <ogist> lib bin share
[04:23] <ogist> thats what is in the tar gz file
[04:23] <tompa> bentinata oh... unfortunatly it didnt work either :(    "E: Unable to locate package vbox"
[04:24] <usr13> MTsol: lspci |grep ireless
[04:24] <bentinata> tompa, you can see the system monitor to find out that program name
[04:24] <MTsol> usr13: I'm on windows atm
[04:24] <usr13> O
[04:24] <bentinata> hahahaa
[04:25] <MTsol> Cant keep a steady connection on ubuntu
[04:25] <Aironet> I need help connecting aironet cardbus to xubuntu 12.10 can anyone help? Thank you in advance
[04:27] <Aironet> Anyone?
[04:27] <bentinata> not me, sorry :(
[04:27] <MTsol> Would I need a wireless driver? Or?
[04:27] <cfhowlett> !patience|Aironet,
[04:27] <tompa> bentinata it says its named virtualbox but if i run "sudo apt-get remove virtualbox" i gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1518993/
[04:28] <Aironet> It connects under eth0 but wont show under connections in the upper right hand corner
[04:28] <bentinata> tompa, maybe you custom install it? and put the folder somewhere?
[04:28] <bentinata> !patience
[04:29] <Aironet> MTsol were you talking to me?
[04:29] <MTsol> Aironet: anyone I guess.
[04:29] <tompa> benitnata yea that was the case, I spelled wrong "VIRITUALbox" and didnt find it in ubuntu software center, so i search for some random command on internet
[04:30] <tompa> bentinata the folder is located under home/virtualbox
[04:30] <mansoor-s> I am unable to connect to my server with SSH (http://pastie.org/private/yr4niedzxdhzz1ojgakqrq). Could anyone take a look and tell me whats going on?
[04:31] <somsip> mansoor-s: it's strange that your ~/.ssh/mansoor.pem is tried as a private key but only publickey auth methods can continue. Could this be an issue? I've not seen it before, but can't say I connect with -v very often...
[04:31] <MTsol> Do I need to download the additional drivers oackage to resolve my issue?
[04:31] <somsip> mansoor-s: and you usually need to connect as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>so maybe that would help
[04:31] <mansoor-s> somsip, -v means verbose, it spits out all of the information
[04:32] <somsip> mansoor-s: I know what it means. I just don't have to use it
[04:32] <servvs> how can I get the wimax to work on an intel 6150 wimax card?
[04:32] <bentinata> tompa, is the executable inside that folder? you can directly delete it
[04:32] <mansoor-s> somsip, I don't either, when it works XD
[04:32] <mansoor-s> ubuntu@ doesnt' work either :(
[04:33] <somsip> mansoor-s: ok - my EC2 pem shows as private in -v but connects fine so it's a red herring
[04:33] <MTsol> Do I need to download the additional drivers oackage to resolve my issue?
[04:33] <somsip> mansoor-s: and you used mansoor key when you started the instance? Have you ever been able to connect to this one?
[04:33] <tompa> bentinata im afraid not, what is the equivalence to .exe in linux?
[04:33] <bentinata> tompa, none
[04:33] <usr13> MTsol: We don't know.
[04:33] <bentinata> tompa, it marked as executable
[04:34] <mansoor-s> somsip, hmm, i created the key, but how do I "use" it with the instance?
[04:34] <adoniscik> rhymthbox behaves differently depending on whether I run it from the command line or Dash. If I use the icon, I get "network connection" errors. Why might this be?
[04:34] <bentinata> tompa, you can even execute a .txt file
[04:34] <mansoor-s> i rebooted the instance after creating the key, and this is the first time i'm trying to ssh into the server
[04:34] <somsip> mansoor-s: when you cereate the instance, it's on the...4th setup screen
[04:34] <usr13> tompa: A file that has the executable bit set to it.
[04:34] <servvs> how can I get the wimax to work on an intel 6150 wimax card?
[04:35] <somsip> mansoor-s: well that's a fail then. You must add PEM keys when you create, or you can do it after but you need to upload the key and suchlike
[04:35] <usr13> tompa: Linux does not need file-names to determine whether it's executable or not.
[04:35] <mansoor-s> somsip, AHH you are onto it
[04:35] <mansoor-s> the instance is already created, i must figure out how to set the key after its been created
[04:36] <tompa> bentinata hmm okey, however i don't think it is
[04:36] <somsip> mansoor-s: yes
[04:36] <bentinata> tompa, how you install the virtualbox?
[04:36] <tompa> user13 okey :) just took it for granted it was built on the same idea
[04:37] <tompa> bentinata I followed the commands at this link http://www.noobslab.com/2012/04/install-virtualbox-4112-on-ubuntu.html
[04:40] <bentinata> tompa, wait, I'm opening it, and probably for a long time (my connection is slower than snail)
[04:40] <tompa> bentinata no worries I'm glad someone even answering ! :)
[04:41] <usr13> tompa: You know that you could just use the package manager.  You can do it from command line:  sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[04:42] <usr13> tompa: and    sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
[04:42] <adoniscik> rhymthbox behaves differently depending on whether I run it from the command line or Dash. If I use the icon, I get "network connection" errors. Why might this be?
[04:42] <mansoor-s> thank you very much somsip
[04:42] <somsip> mansoor-s: np
[04:43] <tompa> usr13 I did spell wrong first time "VIRITUALbox" and thought it wasnt in the default ppa...
[04:43] <usr13> tompa: If you didn't know, you could do a search, like:  apt-cache search virtual |grep box
[04:43] <usr13> tompa: Do it now so you'll see.
[04:46] <tompa> usr13 hmm what does that information tell me? Did i do a search in the default ppa for "box" ? and the result is the hits of the search?
[04:47] <bentinata> I'm new to IRC, and I like this. this is better than listening my teacher up ahead. xD
[04:47] <tompa> bentinata what are u studying?
[04:48] <cub> what is a gflop?
[04:48] <GerbilSoft> cub: surface rt ;)
[04:48] <GerbilSoft> actually "gigaflop"
[04:49] <GerbilSoft> i.e. one billion floating point operations per second
[04:49] <usr13> tompa: It showed you available (authorized) packages that can be installed.
[04:50] <cub> how do i find a certain process in terminal
[04:50] <cub> for example.. locate apache or chrome
[04:50] <somsip> cub: locate apache; locate chrome
[04:50] <cub> and ty GerbilSoft
[04:50] <tompa> usr13 okey :) is it always searching in the default OS version's repository?
[04:51] <bentinata> tompa, oh
[04:51] <cub> okay somsip, and this will show me the process too as well as ID?
[04:51] <bentinata> tompa, try sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-4.1
[04:51] <usr13> tompa: You are always better off installing packages via the package manager. Pretty much anything you could want is available via Ubuntu's package manager.  If you install only from the package manager, you'll be assured everything will work as expected.  When you deviate from that method, things may not work well for you.
[04:51] <somsip> cub: it will show you where it is in the filesystem. Do you want something like 'ps aux' instead?
[04:51] <cub> yes
[04:51] <usr13> tompa: Yes, that is correct
[04:54] <cub> somsip how would i find a certain process by name then?
[04:54] <cub> ps aux -C ?
[04:54] <somsip> cub: I'd grep it - ps aux | grep apache
[04:54] <bentinata> tompa, according to your tutorial try "sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-4.1"
[04:54] <usr13> cub: ps aux |grep process-name
[04:54] <cub> whats grep do?
[04:55] <cfhowlett> cub, info grep or man grep on the terminal will tell you
[04:55] <somsip> cub: outputs lines that match a string/expression
[04:55] <tompa> usr13 yeah i know, as I said i search for it but couldnt find it so I assumed it wasnt included (as many other programs ain't). Thank you for all handy information love the support!
[04:55] <usr13> cub: grep print lines matching a pattern
[04:55] <cub> ok ty
[04:55] <tompa> bentinata yeah it worked! Thanks. how did you find the name of the file?
[04:56] <bentinata> tompa, your link just finished loaded
[04:56] <bentinata> xD
[04:57] <tompa> bentinata lol
[05:06] <challenger> ??
[05:07] <challenger> hlwwww
[05:07] <bentinata> challenger, yo?
[05:08] <challenger> bentinata, i'm having problem regarding connection speed
[05:08] <challenger> it was working fine .. but from last couple of days its getting slow down
[05:08] <dr_willis> apt-get supports tab completion. so  apt-get remove vir<tab> should  have shown a list  that should have included  virtualbox. :)   for future referance
[05:09] <challenger> sometime it gets disconnected after 10-15 min
[05:09] <challenger> don't know what to do
[05:10] <dr_willis> could be interfearnce from some one elses stuff
[05:10] <challenger> :|
[05:10] <bentinata> maybe it cause your provider
[05:10] <dr_willis> if you are on wireless
[05:10] <challenger> no .. i'm on wired connection
[05:10] <dr_willis> cable? dsl? other?
[05:10] <challenger> i 've checked out everything  ..network card.. preference,
[05:11] <challenger> dsl connection
[05:11] <randomjay> im in asia, everything is always slow :/ other computers on the network are not suffering from speed drops?
[05:12] <MK`> What is the name of the laptop battery applet in 11.10 for gnome fallback? Mine crashed, want to reenable it.
[05:13] <challenger> is there any command i can use here to show u my sys info?
[05:13] <challenger> inxi isn't wrking
[05:13] <challenger> dr_willis? interference? magnetic? electrical ? what kinda?
[05:14] <MK`> Which sys info challenger?
[05:14] <challenger> like network info ?
[05:14] <MK`> ah, I do not know about that
[05:15] <challenger> MK` : :)
[05:16] <onborad> us
[05:16] <challenger> phew .. now i'm thinking of switching to mint or arch
[05:16] <challenger> (maybe its a bad idea) but don't know what to do know
[05:16] <seednode> Arch is an... interesting experience
[05:17] <onborad> use UEFI only  start ubuntu 12.04 version ,Xorg couldn't start ,and report  [     6.275] (II) VESA(0): initializing int10
[05:17] <seednode> Speaking from two years of using it
[05:17] <onborad> [     6.276] (EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0xd00 out of range
[05:17] <onborad> any one ideas?
[05:17] <challenger> seednode: really .. i didn't give it try ever
[05:17] <challenger> afraid of loosing data during installation
[05:17] <seednode> If you're annoyed with Ubuntu about having issues
[05:17] <seednode> You might want to avoid Arch
[05:17] <challenger> people say that its hard to configure it during installation
[05:17] <seednode> It's fun, and an interesting hobby
[05:18] <seednode> But it requires quite a bit of tweaking to work well
[05:18] <seednode> Eh, installation isn't bad.
[05:18] <onborad> (EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0xd00 out of range
[05:18] <seednode> All command line, though
[05:18] <challenger> phew
[05:19] <seednode> So if you're newish to Linux, I'd avoid it
[05:19] <seednode> I don't know how much experience you have
[05:19] <challenger> before i can download arch i need to get out of this prob.. cann't download bcoz of slow and unstable connection
[05:19] <challenger> seednode: i'm not so bad at cmdline
[05:20] <seednode> Well, honestly, ALL conf is command line
[05:20] <rypervenche> challenger: How long have you been using Linux?
[05:20] <challenger> i have 2 year experience
[05:20] <seednode> There are no GUIs by default
[05:20] <seednode> Only those from the DE/WM you install
[05:20] <challenger> i hate eye candy stuffs like win 8  or unity
[05:20] <rypervenche> Then I'd say it's possible for you.
[05:20] <seednode> I use Openbox with Arch
[05:20] <xangua> !ot | challenger seednode
[05:20] <seednode> Perfect for my uses
[05:20] <seednode> Oh, sorry.
[05:20] <seednode> Keep forgetting this isn't off-topic
[05:20] <seednode> I don't have labels up
[05:21] <bentinata> challenger, me tha same
[05:21] <challenger> ubottu : sorry boss
[05:21] <challenger> bentinata, :-)
[05:21] <seednode> challenger, hop into offtopic
[05:21] <bentinata> challenger, cause of that I use xfce4
[05:21] <seednode> xangua, though honestly you could just tell me, instead of using the bot

[05:23] <rypervenche> It is what you make it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19330159/Linux/screenshot1.png
[05:23] <seednode> challenger, move to #ubuntu-offtopic, else we'll be yelled at again
[05:23] <challenger> i like gnome X.Y
[05:23] <challenger> seednode  :P
[05:23] <seednode> Not gonna lie, rypervenche, I don't like that look
[05:23] <seednode> But to each their own
[05:23] <challenger> please someone hand me out guidline link please :(
[05:24] <rypervenche> http://ubottu.com/y/gl
[05:24] <seednode> challenger, you're only supposed to discuss the current Ubuntu release using Unity/GNOME3 here
[05:24] <seednode> Anything else is for offtopic
[05:24] <izx> apt-cacher-ng server is not working. Could anyone help me pls..?? Am getting "W: Failed to fetch http://cacher-server:4242/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found"
[05:24] <challenger> seednode : as you say boss
[05:25] <osmrducks> whre do i get a free version of ubuntu
[05:25] <challenger> now  to the main point.. i'm still in trouble
[05:25] <osmrducks> ?
[05:25] <xangua> izx: maverick has no longer support....since 2011
[05:25] <xangua> osmrducks: from ubuntu.com
[05:25] <challenger> couldn't find solution to my prob
[05:25] <bentinata> osmrducks, Ubuntu is FREE
[05:25] <osmrducks> and is free? the one i can run off disk?
[05:26] <bentinata> osmrducks, yes
[05:26] <izx> xangua: This cacher server runs fine till yesterday.. It was there since 2009
[05:26] <randomjay> if you are talking about a physical cd, i think you might have to pay for shipping, right?
[05:26] <osmrducks> all plaaces ive tryed to get they want money for
[05:26] <zg> I had an issue installing the bootloader, what do I do? I chose /dev/sdb, but that didn't help
[05:26] <randomjay> downloading an image that you can burn onto a cd yourself is free of charge.
[05:26] <osmrducks> i will go to it tho thanks.. im new to linux... heard it was awesome and wanted to try it
[05:26] <bentinata> osmrducks, I always download it at ubuntu.com, and burn the CD myself
[05:27] <randomjay> this is probably what you are after: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[05:27] <kunji> osmrducks: Use a USB drive, don't even need to waste a CD ^_^
[05:27] <osmrducks> and can i use it on a laptop?
[05:27] <seednode> osmrducks, yes
[05:27] <randomjay> not sure where youve been looking if they want to charge you money for a copy of ubuntu
[05:27] <bentinata> osmrducks, yes you can
[05:27] <osmrducks> cool
[05:27] <osmrducks> thank u all
[05:28] <bentinata> they charge for shipping, it worth it
[05:28] <seednode> On any x86/x64 computer, usually
[05:28] <osmrducks> i thought u could download it?
[05:28] <seednode> You can do both
[05:28] <bentinata> oh, I'm just discussing, download is free
[05:28] <osmrducks> where to download?  ubuntu.com?
[05:28] <bentinata> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[05:29] <Malimbar> would this be a decent place to debug a problem with Steam?
[05:29] <randomjay> bentinata, i never tried ordering a dvd myself.. is there anything else included in the shipment but a disc? such as.. i dont know.. documentation? fun freebies?
[05:29] <challenger> arghhh !!!!!!
[05:29] <zg> Malimbar: perhaps #steamlug
[05:29] <xangua> !manual | random
[05:29] <Malimbar> thanks zg
[05:30] <challenger> obottu: :D (:X)
[05:30] <bentinata> randomjay, me too, but my friend buy it, and he get ~20 dvd
[05:30] <pianoman> hello, i tried installing ubuntu via dvd but when the menu to choose for installing or trying it, it took me to a black screen and not the ubuntu looking screen that it should have been. when i hit install it didn
[05:30] <pianoman> t work
[05:30] <osmrducks> so the ubuntu desktop will work on laptop?
[05:30] <osmrducks> =)
[05:30] <randomjay> osmrducks yes
[05:30] <osmrducks> k sorry for all the questions
[05:31] <bentinata> osmrducks, no worry
[05:31] <challenger> pianoman. may be you are installing ubuntu in txt mode
[05:31] <randomjay> no its ok. they just call it the desktop version because its for desktop/workstation use, and that includes your laptop. the other two options are Server and Cloud, which you probably wont have to worry about just yet ;q
[05:31] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[05:32] <pianoman> well i burned it to the disc correctly and it automatically detected it and started. but the installation failed. what does the txt mode mean?
[05:32] <challenger> which one version are you trying to install? pianoman
[05:33] <pianoman> 12.10
[05:33] <challenger> maybe obottu is right pianoman
[05:34] <dr_willis> try the nomodeset option
[05:35] <challenger> pianoman,  you can post screenshot here if you have one
[05:36] <pianoman> i'm not sure how to do it. the best i can describe it though is that it looks like  normal black boot screen. it has a short code and says it failed challenger
[05:37] <challenger> pianoman . try to install it in vbox
[05:37] <challenger> virtualbox = vbox
[05:38] <pianoman> how do i do that?
[05:38] <challenger> currently what os are you using?
[05:38] <pianoman> im using windows 8
[05:38] <challenger> than download virtualbox from virtualbox.org
[05:39] <challenger> and install it . u can install ubuntu 12.10 through its image
[05:39] <challenger> it will be handy
[05:39] <challenger> if you are new to linux or afraid to use it
[05:39] <challenger> just give a try to vbox
[05:40] <challenger> don't need to make real partition or disk formatting
[05:40] <dr_willis> vbox is to handy to not use ;)
[05:40] <dr_willis> a little linux disrto in vbox can be a lot of fun and usefull
[05:41] <challenger> dr_willis: in case of data risk( data lose)
[05:41] <challenger> it will be handy if u just want to give a try
[05:41] <Aditya^_> hey guys
[05:41] <Aditya^_> i am running windows 8 and wana get dual boot
[05:41] <Aditya^_> i have the iso file
[05:41] <Aditya^_> how to install via usb
[05:42] <pianoman> well i've already tried ubuntu. i want to install it but its still not working. why?
[05:42] <dr_willis> use one of the many tools to 'burn' the iso to usb making a live usb. the pendrivelinux site has several to try  Aditya^_
[05:42] <dr_willis> Aditya^_:  then boot the usb and use the installer.
[05:43] <dr_willis> ive no idea how windows 8 will affect things however
[05:43] <dr_willis> when in doubt.. make backups first
[05:43] <pianoman> i have the same issue as aditya.
[05:43] <young001> 如何判断一个句子是不是全是由英文字母组成的?标点符号在里面也可以
[05:43] <young001> 就是给一个句子，判断是不是全是英文
[05:43] <leku> pianoman
[05:43] <pianoman> i'd be happy to make a usb if i knew itd work
[05:43] <leku> could be EFI boot vs bios boot
[05:43] <Ben64> !cn
[05:43] <leku> or problem with secure boot?
[05:43] <challenger>  aditya: use UNetbootin
[05:43] <pianoman> the difference being?
[05:44] <dr_willis> theres dozens of tools/ways to make a bootable usb from the ISO.
[05:44] <challenger> u can make any usb bootable through it
[05:44] <challenger> very easy to use tool
[05:44] <leku> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[05:44] <challenger> unetbootin
[05:44] <young001> how to judge if a sentence is all consisted by english
[05:44] <dr_willis> lookl at the pendricelinux site and see whats there challenger
[05:44] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux.org or .com.. i forget
[05:45] <challenger> dr_willis, okay sir
[05:45] <dr_willis> some people have issues with some tools, or otehrs.. so its  ok to try several
[05:45] <dr_willis> i like the pendrivelinux tool thst lets me put several differnt isos on the same  large flash drive
[05:45] <Aditya^_> pendrive linux i should try?
[05:46] <fmedina> hello
[05:46] <dr_willis> Aditya^_:  its a site with tools to put iso on usb/flash... if thatts what you need to do
[05:46] <challenger> dr_willis: then whats d prob with using unetbootin?
[05:47] <dr_willis> challenger:  ive had unetbootin NOT work.. thats why i reccomend s site that lists several tools
[05:47] <challenger> unetbootin allows to create bootable usb without burning to cd/dvd
[05:47] <fmedina> fixing up my X1 Carbon with Ubuntu 12.10... want to custom kernel to get rid of unwanted stuff, anyone have a working config for kernel 3.7 for X1 Carbon by any chance?  first attempt did not boot :-)
[05:47] <dr_willis> so do dozens of other tools
[05:47] <challenger> dr_willis: but it worked for me sir :)
[05:47] <dr_willis> challenger:  and ive had it not work dozens of times
[05:48] <fmedina> is there a place for working configs on custom kernels for different machines?
[05:48] <Aditya^_> downloaded one from there
[05:48] <Aditya^_> its running
[05:48] <dr_willis> some times theres version issues, or weird usb  quirks.
[05:48] <dr_willis> and often some tools you may find at the pendrivelinux site have neat other features.. like multi iso. or they can auto download the iso. or other cool features
[05:49] <Aditya^_> after it finishes i need to  reboot and boot from usb ?
[05:49] <challenger> dr_willis, grt
[05:49] <dr_willis> Aditya^_:  thats the normal procedure yes
[05:49] <dr_willis> Aditya^_:  you have backed up imprornt stuff?
[05:50] <Aditya^_> i am installing it on other partition
[05:50] <dr_willis> if theres a power failure or other issue during the instsaller resizeing your existing system.. thst can be very bad
[05:50] <Aditya^_> its empty
[05:50] <dr_willis> if otehr partion allready exists.. that makes it much easier. ;)
[05:50] <challenger> now time to leave .. .
[05:51] <Aditya^_> Creating the persistant file
[05:51] <Aditya^_> persistence*
[05:52] <dr_willis> just for installing you really dont need one. ;) but it wont hurt
[05:52] <g00053> oh #ubuntu, how I heart you
[05:52] <Aditya^_> dr willis
[05:52] <Aditya^_> restarting
[05:52] <Aditya^_> time to see if it works
[05:54] <wting> How do I list all the ppas added via add-apt-repository? It's not in /etc/apt/sources.list...
[05:55] <dr_willis> wting:  sources.list.d
[05:55] <dr_willis>  each ppa has its own config files
[05:55] <wting> ahh ok, thankd dr_willis
[05:55] <dr_willis> makes it easy to see whats there ;)
[05:56] <dr_willis> the old way of altering sources.list is a bit of a no no these days
[06:06] <leku> how come when I start e17, I still see a bunch of unity processes running?
[06:07] <leku> how do I kill this crap
[06:07] <wting> dr_willis: I don't know, I'm still stuck in my old ways. It's a lot easier to add/remove ppas. So far ppa-purge and apt-add-repository --remove have failed.
[06:07] <dD0T> I have disabled system wide proxy and yet get $http_proxy set. I can't figure out where this is done. Nothing in .bashrc, bash_aliases, /etc/environment. This is Ubuntu 12.10. Any ideas where this might come from? Thanks.
[06:09] <mesquka> Hi
[06:09] <osmrducks> can i run the ubuntu dl off my hd?
[06:09] <dr_willis> osmrducks:  you mean run the ISO file?
[06:10] <dr_willis> vbox can boot an ISO file
[06:10] <osmrducks> where to get the vbox>
[06:10] <osmrducks> ?
[06:10] <dr_willis> at its homepage
[06:10] <dr_willis> !vbox
[06:10] <BlackDalek> are there any soloutions for the "ubuntu 12.10 will not install past first step" problem?
[06:10] <dr_willis> im not sure how well unity works in  vbox
[06:11] <dr_willis> what first step BlackDalek ?
[06:13] <nibbler> in which order are the initramfs-tools scripts executed? is init-premount always executed before local-top?
[06:13] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, the window which is titled "Preparing to install Ubuntu" and has "download updates" ticked and "install third-party software"... click continue and the spinning pointer appears and installer stalls at that point with no further action evident.
[06:14] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  networking is enabled?
[06:15] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, it is connected wirelessly to the local network. This is the same issue this person has here  - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081850 no solution was found there either and I couldn't find aother thread with the same problem.
[06:16] <osmrducks> dr which virtual box should i get?
[06:16] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, I too and trying to install the 32bit regular ubuntu to a 64bit PC.... same as original poster in that thread. Do you think trying the 64bit version of 12.10 would make a difference?
[06:17] <osmrducks> i dont want to install it.... i want to run it first and see if i like it... ive never tryed it before and see what its all about
[06:18] <kryfox> yo
[06:18] <gnomefreak> anyne know if there is a command that starts with the word "paste"?
[06:19] <gnomefreak> anyone even
[06:19] <g00053> running it from an hd or vb or usb will not net the same performance as installing tho ?
[06:19] <magn3ts> gnomefreak, yes.
[06:19] <nibbler> gnomefreak: apt-file search bin/paste
[06:19] <gnomefreak> magn3ts: thanks
[06:20]  * nibbler still wonders why apt-file is not installed by default....
[06:21] <osmrducks> what version of vbox should i download to run linux and try it out?
[06:22] <osmrducks> VBOX for linux hosts?
[06:22] <somsip> !vbox | osmrducks
[06:22] <dr_willis> windows is your host
[06:23] <dr_willis> Host = the machine running vbox.. guest = the Os IN vbox
[06:23] <osmrducks> oh
[06:23] <dr_willis> the vbox manual is wirth reading also
[06:24] <osmrducks> ok am there and reading... thanks again
[06:24] <ozzloy> rhythmbox sometimes stops playback on .flac files.  i tried deleting ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.x86_64.bin and that worked for a few songs, but it stops on flac songs still
[06:24] <ozzloy> how do i make rhythmbox play flac songs always?
[06:25] <petergk> hey all
[06:25] <dr_willis> could be its stopping because of the encoding of the flac.. does it always stop on the same file?
[06:26] <ozzloy> dr_willis, not sure.  next time it stops on a song i'll try deleting that file and trying it again
[06:26] <ozzloy> "deleting" actually i'm moving it
[06:27] <dr_willis> just jot down what file its stopping on.. and try to play it by itself
[06:27] <ozzloy> definitely more than one flac file
[06:28] <ozzloy> and they were all created in the last week or so
[06:28] <ozzloy> my whole cd collection was ripped
[06:28] <dr_willis> if every file from the cd that was ripped the same way.. has issues.. that points to some file format or bug in the app
[06:28] <dr_willis> unless its having issues reading the files from hd.
[06:29] <ozzloy> all the files were ripped in the same way
[06:29] <ozzloy> some play, some don't
[06:29] <dr_willis> dmesg may show if theres any IO errors
[06:31] <ozzloy> interesting
[06:31] <ozzloy> this time all i had to do was double click the file in the playlist and it started playing
[06:31] <ozzloy> wtf wtf
[06:32] <dr_willis> so it played like 10 songs.. then stopped.. then you started it again
[06:32] <dr_willis> with the 11th
[06:36] <ozzloy> something like that
[06:36] <ozzloy> i'm waiting for it to die again
[06:36] <dr_willis> it wont do it while you are watching.....
[06:36] <dr_willis> ;)
[06:36] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, do you think that there is anyway to install 12.10 on a PC which can't get past first step of installer or do you think there might be a way around it?
[06:37] <ozzloy> maybe i'll start rhythmbox from terminal and watch for debug output
[06:37] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  Run the installer from a terminal. look for error messages.  you did try unchecking the boxs >
[06:37] <grendal-prime> what in the hell is going on with getdeb.net?
[06:37] <dr_willis> grendal-prime:  been down for like a month i think
[06:37] <grendal-prime> is it ever going to be back up?
[06:38] <grendal-prime> jesus ill give them a server if they need it
[06:38] <grendal-prime> wtf
[06:38] <dr_willis> no idea. ;) i never really used the site
[06:38] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, how do I run the installer from the terminal?
[06:38] <dr_willis> command is 'ubiquity' i think BlackDalek
[06:38] <mayank> how do i install my canon lbp2900 printer on ubuntu 12.10
[06:38] <grendal-prime> mayank,  plug it in
[06:39] <user__> exit
[06:39] <user__> quit
[06:39] <mayank> its plugged in and on, but no drivers for lbp2900
[06:39] <user__> \quit
[06:39] <grendal-prime> that is a total guess by the way but that seems to work for me with every other printer ive worked with
[06:41] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, could you possibly be a bit less vague... i.e.  Do I boot into a live session from the installed CD, the open a terminal window and type ubiquity.. or do I boot up in the old OS (11.10) and use a terminal from that then insert the installer CD, or use a ctrl+alt+F1 terminal?
[06:41] <dr_willis> check the cups.org site and the linuxprinting.org site to see if its supported at all.
[06:41] <dr_willis> canon is rather poor in their linux support
[06:41] <dr_willis> on the live cd. open a terminal  and run 'gksudo ubiquity'
[06:41] <dr_willis> you dont install from within a installed os
[06:41] <mayank> its showing other model drivers but not lbp2900
[06:42] <mayank> how do i download drivers for ubuntu 12.10
[06:42] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, ok... I will give it a go and see if I get any errors ;)
[06:42] <dr_willis> mayank:  perhaps one of those may work if they are similer.  check the package manager for canon drivers if you cant select them from the printer config dialogs
[06:42] <dr_willis> or 'apt-cache search canon' and see whaats there
[06:44] <mayank> where to use apt-cache?, whats the whole command?

[06:48] <viking667> I had to use a ppa and downgrade to xorg 1.13
[06:48] <Bneyt> hi, Anybody have a problem with the Realtek r8168 drivers here?

[06:49] <haracha> how do i activate a program on a mounted .iso from cli
[06:49] <ozzloy> dr_willis, it stopped again!
[06:49] <mayank> ok willis, its shows full page something....but now wat?
[06:50] <dr_willis> Aditya^:  you could partion the hd how you want using the advanced features of the installer.  you normally need 2 partitions, one for '/'  of type ext4 and one for 'swap' of the type swap
[06:50] <guest16> haracha, find out the path where it is mounted, typically it's under /media/
[06:50] <dr_willis> mayank:  install any canon drivers you may find listed.
[06:50] <haracha> it displays a garbage filepath without slashes instead it has the % codes & it hints at ~
