[13:36] <c31r2g> ikonia well thats cool as i dont come much on irs'c but find time to see the logs ;)
[13:36] <qwd> I came back to my computer and the screen is all black except for the mouse. Any ideas on how to fix it without rebooting?
[13:37] <J11_> Dr_Willis: there is still no application to be found even in the alt search
[13:37] <The_Explorer> Greetings, I have a quesiton about IO schedualing: When compressing in the background my computer will periodically stutter. Is there any way i can optimize my computer to (by default) optimize for multitasking over single program performance?
[13:38] <Snowie> qwd, i would try ctrl-alt-f1 to drop to root prompt, and then ctrl-alt-f7(is that the default terminal now everyone?) to get back to your current session. But, real answer is, probably now
[13:38] <Snowie> qwd, *not
[13:40] <qwd> Snowie: Yeah I did that, that's how I'm writing here :) Tried closing a few random things from htop but no luck
[13:40] <r3dux> The_Explorer - I have the same issue, heavy disk IO makes my machine stutter, in theory this could be "niced" to a low value, but in practice.... I don't know...
[13:41] <r3dux> You'd have to be able to recognise sustained disk IO and renice it to some low value on the fly.
[13:41] <qwd> Snowie: I guess I'll just reboot then. Thanks!
[13:42] <ikonia> The_Explorer: why do you think it's i/o related specifically ?
[13:42] <altin> can anyone tell me how can I do a vpn connection with cisco vpn server
[13:42] <r3dux> Any nicing happens per process, not per IO usage, so it's a hard one
[13:42] <altin> with IKE  and IPSEC
[13:43] <r3dux> ikonia: Because it's a known issue. Google "Linux IO slowdown"
[13:43] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> Hello everyone... I have a small problem getting games to run on Linux.
[13:44] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> (I hope it hasn't been asked too many times before)
[13:44] <ikonia> r3dux: I'm asking how you know this specific example relates to an i/o problem
[13:44] <ikonia> or how The_Explorer knows/believes
[13:44] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> It's not a WINE issue, as I'm trying to run games that have native Linux ports.
[13:44] <saml> hey, if I do apt-get remove something, will it remove all dependancies, too?
[13:44] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> (So far, Bastion and Katawa Shoujo.)
[13:44] <saml> i mean, packages that depend on something
[13:45] <r3dux> ikonia - linux i/o scheduling is generally weak. How I know this is becuase the system slows down significantly.
[13:45] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> I tried to run the latter, and I was faced with the following code:
[13:45] <ikonia> r3dux: I'm well aware of i/o issues, I'm asking The_Explorer why he thinks this specific issue is i/o
[13:46] <r3dux> The_Explorer: The floor is yours.
[13:46] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1017937/
[13:46] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> I assume that python has been set up incorrectly, somehow.
[13:47] <The_Explorer> r3dux, renicing was attempted and whats even more irritating was it was on a SEPERATE DRIVE... /facepalm. I just dont know, lol.
[13:48] <OerHeks> IlPalazzo-ojiisa, do you run that game on 64 bit linux ? i read here it only runs on 32 bit  > http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=6474
[13:48] <The_Explorer> ikonia, I think its IO related because i have 8 cores and that task was only using one.
[13:48] <r3dux> The_Explorer: Wrong answer.
[13:48] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> Umm........
[13:48] <ikonia> The_Explorer: that just may mean it's not doing smp - there must be something that points you at i/o
[13:49] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> There's a possibility there, yeah...
[13:49] <cpppp> what is the file /etc/resolv.conf for?
[13:49] <AdvoWork> anyone aware of a program I can use that splits a directory of files into multiple folders?
[13:49] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> ...but that doesn't explain why Bastion quits after a short while, too.
[13:49] <r3dux> AdvoWork:  Using what criteria?
[13:49] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> Could it be the same problem?
[13:50] <The_Explorer> r3dux, Thankyou for your commentary. However "wrong answer" does not take the example of which i have presented and present a solution.
[13:51] <Oprtz> !help , i want to install windows 7 again, because ubuntu is difficult for me :( but windows7 dvd cant boot the system :( wha tto do
[13:51] <The_Explorer> ikonia, do you have a solution to the issue of a slowdown of that sort in relation to single thread compression, in the background and taking place on a seperate hard drive?
[13:51] <r3dux> The_Explorer: You're absolutely right, it doesn't. Throughput depends on multiple factors, the processing speed and/or usage is generally the least of which.
[13:52] <AdvoWork> r3dux, size really, 1000's of files, need to burn to dvd, so need to split by dvd size, so say 4GB ideally?
[13:52] <ikonia> The_Explorer: I'd need to understand the problem more, hence why I was asking you why you think it's i/o related
[13:52] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> ...so, it's to Windows I go then.
[13:53] <IlPalazzo-ojiisa> Thanks for the help, OerHeks.
[13:53] <Oprtz> !help , i want to install windows 7 again, because ubuntu is difficult for me :( but windows7 dvd cant boot the system :( wha tto do
[13:53] <J11_> Is there a way I could set DISPLAY in a TTY so I can run a terminal in gnome?
[13:54] <r3dux> AdvoWork: 4.7GB for a DVD-5, but you have take into account file overheads, so if you have 100,000 x 1KB files it'll cost more than 1 x 47000MB file.
[13:54] <The_Explorer> very well mr ikonia: large folder -> compressing large folder to *.7z -> proceeding to game/surf/movie -> notable stutter and extreme loading of programs noticed. System crash. (ctrl+alt+bks)
[13:54] <OerHeks> Oprtz check your computer manual howto setup booting from cd/dvd, else join ##windows for support
[13:54] <streulma> hello, my system boots and stops after scripts/init-bottom
[13:55] <ikonia> The_Explorer: that's not a reason to assume it's i/o
[13:55] <^Mike> synaptic can show which packages have not been fully purged - can aptitude do the same for a server install?
[13:55] <streulma> A maintenance shell will now be started
[13:55] <jtac> how can i make a user so he can make sudo ?
[13:55] <ikonia> jtac: put him in the admin group
[13:55] <Oprtz> OerHeks:  i check every thing, it seems that ubuntu make mess in boot files or MBR
[13:55] <The_Explorer> ikonia, ok I understand.  I will stop assuming its the I/O... Suggestions, please?
[13:55] <jtac> ikonia: cmd?
[13:55] <r3dux> AdvoWork: Just compress as many folders as you can and then dump to DVD where the compressed file size is < 4.7 -- OR -- use some backup software which does it for you.
[13:55] <ikonia> The_Explorer: well, what have you done so far
[13:55] <ikonia> jtac: usermod
[13:56] <llutz_> ^Mike: aptitude search ~c
[13:56] <llutz_> ^Mike: aptitude purge ~c       to get rid of them
[13:56] <The_Explorer> mr ikonia, what i have done so far is play with Ktaskman(ksysguard) varios processor and harddrive schedualling to see its outcome. I have changed the nice +5  in combination.
[13:57] <ikonia> The_Explorer: ok, install sysstat and run "iostat 3" while doing the compression test
[13:57] <^Mike> llutz_: awesome - thanks!
[13:57] <r3dux> ikonia/The_Explorer: Hold on ... big compression --> play a game --> crash. Sounds like you ran out of memory and something didn't handle it well.
[13:57] <AdvoWork> r3dux, i have to then keep selecting number of files to get close to 4gb, get me?
[13:57] <The_Explorer> r3dux I have 16 gigabytes of ram
[13:57] <jtac> ikonia: usermod -G  root jtac doesnt work
[13:57] <ikonia> r3dux: The_Explorer you could have a memory leak in the game (for example)
[13:58] <r3dux> The_Explorer: Doesn't mean you had 16GB available.
[13:58] <The_Explorer> ikonia, it happens also when surfing.
[13:58] <llutz_> jtac: usermod -aG sudo username
[13:58] <morphoses> i am thinking about installing linux on to my parents computer
[13:58] <morphoses> what distro would you recommend?
[13:58] <r3dux> Don't.
[13:58] <morphoses> ubuntu or mint?
[13:58] <Snowie> morphoses, lol. where have you come buddy, what answer will you likely get
[13:58] <ikonia> morphoses: see what they like, if they like it great, if not, don't use it
[13:59] <llutz_> jtlap: if you really run "usermod -G root jtac", it removed you from all groups != root...
[13:59] <ikonia> jtlap_: where did I say anything about root
[13:59] <ikonia> jtlap_: I said add them to the admin group
[13:59] <The_Explorer> r3dux, in the task man, the game i was using never exceeded 2Gb and showed at 1x,xxx MB free
[13:59] <morphoses> heh true that Snowie
[13:59] <ikonia> The_Explorer: you wouldn't see it if it had a leak
[13:59] <ikonia> The_Explorer: run iostat 3 like I suggested see if your IO is bottlenecking
[14:00] <MrNaz_out> ok so in 12.04 apparently the firewire stack has been completely replaced... sudo modprobe raw3194    returns a no such module error... whats the correct way to work with firewire with the new fw stack?
[14:00] <r3dux> When installing *nix on a parents machine you have two choices: 1 - Install a generic linux and hope the can live with it, or 2.) Install a BSD with 3 icons on the desktop: Email, Web, Shutdown.
[14:00] <The_Explorer> ikonia, i will do as you ask. your assistance is appreciated.
[14:00] <morphoses> option 1
[14:00] <morphoses> Btw is it possible to install two separate languages for two separate profiles on ubuntu?
[14:00] <Snowie> i would say that ubuntu probably has much more easily accessible help. throw the live cd/dvd in their drive for a bit. it should still give them their photos etc. come back in a few days and see what questions they ask
[14:00] <r3dux> The_Explorer: How about this - sometimes machines segfault and crash. It's not you. It's them.
[14:01] <ikonia> morphoses: yes
[14:01] <J11_> well it seems  DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm  did the the trick
[14:01] <morphoses> i.e. english for user 1 and spanish for user 2
[14:01] <wwd> folks i am trying to export a raid device md0 over iscsi…. i am able to detect it on the initiator, however, i can't seem to get fdisk to find it...
[14:02] <wwd> not really sure what luns are do i have to specifically create one?
[14:02] <The_Explorer> r3dux, I understand that possibility. But this is recurring, with different compression methods and programs. The "sh** happens" mentality goes against my nature to comprehend the workings of... anything.
[14:02] <Snowie> morphoses, you can switch languages from the login screen i think. sec...
[14:02] <yahqod> hi, friends..
[14:02] <morphoses> ah so it's english until you select from and log in
[14:03] <morphoses> which would be the default language

[14:06] <exiff> Hello. Is it possible to install nautilus 2.3 on precise?
[14:06] <tensorpudding> 2.3?
[14:06] <exiff> yes.
[14:06] <tensorpudding> isn't that like....really old
[14:06] <exiff> the old one
[14:07] <tensorpudding> like, from 2006 old
[14:07] <morphoses> the only way around it i see Snowie would be to install two copies of ubuntu
[14:07] <morphoses> separate^
[14:07] <exiff> which is the latest 2.X?
[14:07] <morphoses> which is annoying
[14:07] <tensorpudding> 2.30 or so
[14:07] <roasted> Hi - Question there. I have the Gimp 2.8 DEB files and Im curious which ones I need to install to have a fully functioning Gimp 2.8 without the actual PPA. Two of the packages I have are gimp-data-ubuntuppa-precise-all.deb packages, and the other 2 are gimp-ubuntu-ppa-precise_amd64.deb packages. Do I need all 4 to successfully install?
[14:07] <tensorpudding> the versions track gnome, afaik
[14:07] <exiff> in which case, is it usable on precise? that 2.30?
[14:08] <OerHeks> roasted, those are ppa packages, see the name.
[14:08] <tensorpudding> not without a separate gnome possibly
[14:08] <exiff> or will it break stuff?
[14:08] <roasted> OerHeks: I know, but we just want to dump the .deb's into the install and not have an "actual" PPA to manage.
[14:08] <ikonia> roasted: it won't work
[14:09] <ikonia> roasted: the gimp deb will fail as it won't meet the dependencies
[14:09] <roasted> ikonia: oh... well uh... we made it work before. o.O
[14:09] <ikonia> roasted: dpkg -i $debfile then
[14:09] <roasted> ikonia: yeah that's the issue I'm running into now. We did the same thing before and it worked fine though.
[14:09] <ikonia> roasted: same gimp version ?
[14:09] <roasted> ikonia: nah, it was 2.6 then.
[14:09] <ikonia> roasted: right , so that's nothing like what you did before
[14:09] <ikonia> roasted: the dependencies are totally different
[14:09] <K4k> Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows file share in Ubuntu using gvfs-mount. The same command works on another box running RedHat Linux but in Ubuntu it does not accept my password. The command I'm running is "gvfs-mount<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:09] <ikonia> hence why the PPA breaks peoples system
[14:10] <yahqod> can someone give me a help with gnome-panel, I can not apply transparency, I put an image for what I say but partially applied using ubuntu 4.12 LTS ... Precise and fallback to gnome ... and the theme Docky I'm using GTK is Orion and Emerald window manager I use
[14:10] <roasted> ikonia: eh, that's a bummer.
[14:10] <ikonia> it will force you to pull down a load of stuff that is newer/different than the base system
[14:10] <roasted> ikonia: but that's unavoidable if you want the latest software version...
[14:10] <ikonia> roasted: not really, you can setup a PPA to not create conflicts
[14:10] <ikonia> the PPA is just setup sloppy
[14:11] <ikonia> I created a repo for 2.7 gimp just to prove it could be done
[14:11] <exiff> hmmmm, what a bother. Thanks anyway tensorpudding .
[14:11] <roasted> ikonia: the thing is, we want to actual the *actual* PPA... we're packaging our image now for 12.04 for our internal systems, so we want to be PPA-less with newer software installed, such as Gimp 2.8
[14:11] <roasted> we want to avoid*
[14:11] <ikonia> roasted: why do you want 2.8 ?
[14:12] <ikonia> roasted: and the actual PPA is the thing that breaks your OS
[14:12] <roasted> ikonia: because 2.8 is a substantial improvement over 2.6 in terms of GUI arrangement. It's going to serve as a Photoshop replacement for our students.
[14:12] <ikonia> roasted: then you need to make a whole set of packages and dependencies yourself that do not conflict with the system
[14:12] <ikonia> roasted: that's how you'd do it
[14:12] <Snowie> morphoses, sorry bout that. but as far as i can tell, yes
[14:13] <roasted> ikonia: not sure I fully understand... you're suggesting we download each and every last dependency (manually) that gimp 2.8 needs and package it from there?
[14:13] <ikonia> roasted: not at all
[14:13] <wwd> hi folks i am trying to initiate a iscsi connection with a target i setup (i am exporting an md device using iscsitarget). On the initiator I have discovered the target and iscsi -m session shows the target, however fdisk doesn't seem to be able to find it… what am i missing… thanks
[14:13] <ikonia> roasted: I'm suggesting you ignore the data in the PPA as that what will break your host, and you make your own set of packages that do not conflict with the OS and install them locally
[14:13] <fl1bbl3> ikonia: like with a tarball and checkinstall?
[14:14] <ikonia> fl1bbl3: never never never
[14:14] <OerHeks> roasted, wait for 12.10 QQ > GIMP 2.8 stable has just in landed in Ubuntu 12.10's official repos
[14:14] <fl1bbl3> haha :)
[14:14] <roasted> OerHeks: no.
[14:14] <marco> people, what do you think of a XML file format that could describe the addition and installation of software from a ppa? That way, if the user wants to install something from a ppa, all the user would need to do was to download the xml file, double-click it and confirm installation. What do you think?
[14:14] <roasted> OerHeks: we're using 12.04 for a reason, and will use it for a substantial duration of the LTS lifecycle.
[14:14] <ikonia> roasted: if you are using it for the LTS functionality then you should not even consider the packages from the gimp 2.8 PPA
[14:15] <r3dux> marco - sounds okay, but there's trust issues
[14:15] <openfreelinux> OerHeks: that's quiet a long time too wait
[14:15] <Gabrail> why ubuntu 12.04 crash and crash and crash ?
[14:15] <OerHeks> openfreelinux, less than 6 months
[14:15] <roasted> ikonia: I agree from a stability standpoint, however from a functionality standpoint Gimp 2.8 is huge for us to support...
[14:15] <obelus> !details | Gabrail
[14:15] <ikonia> Gabrail: could be many reasons, you'd need to supply info if you want help
[14:15] <Snowie> wow, just me or a ppl a bit grumpy tonight
[14:15] <marco> r3dux: I know that. But look, there's already a ppa for gimp 2.8. A lot of people want it, but it is not user-friendly to install it. I think it is a good compromise
[14:16] <`prixon> hello
[14:16] <Snowie> Gabrail, works ok for me. what is happening when your machine crashes
[14:16] <ikonia> roasted: ok, so you need to build your own gimp 2.8 packages that you can make sure do not conflict / dependency conflict with the LTS components
[14:16] <r3dux> Gabriel - ditch Unity, run Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell)
[14:16] <obelus> Snowie: I don't think so. I only used the trigger because I'm tired and it's easier than typing the message out. And now I've gone and typed anyway :(
[14:16] <`prixon> how can I fix nautilus to show the real size of items? i.e. in MiB vs MB
[14:16] <`prixon> ?
[14:16] <roasted> ikonia: allright. Problem with that is I'm drawing a blank on how to get started with that... I mean, this will be done from source, no?
[14:16] <ikonia> r3dux: he didn't say his issue was unity related
[14:16] <obelus> And r3dux, that is not a 'fix all' solution that will solve all crashes.
[14:16] <yahqod> can someone give me a help with gnome-panel, I can not apply transparency, I put an image for what I say but partially applied using ubuntu 12.04 LTS ... Precise and   gnome-fallback ... and Docky_the theme  I'm using GTK is Orion and Emerald window manager I use
[14:16] <Xeneth> morning people.  What would I need to make a log of all connections?  Example: <time> <source IP:port><Destination IP:port>  I want both incomming and outgoing, and may want when it disconnects too.
[14:17] <ikonia> roasted: it's a reasonable size task and effort no question of it, plus the testing and research to make sure your packages are sane/compatible/no-risk
[14:17] <Snowie> obelus, not directed at you mate.
[14:17] <ikonia> roasted: for this one task, I'd suggest hiring someone/canonical for the specific one off task
[14:17] <ikonia> roasted: it will be a better investment time/money wise
[14:17] <Gabrail> i am already running gnome shell but sometimes the nautilus crash and disappear and appear again
[14:17] <ultimedia> how long until 13.x is available?
[14:17] <r3dux> ikonia - you're a dick. Nnight.
[14:17] <obelus> Snowie: Oh okay lol.
[14:18] <roasted> ikonia: well, we're already in the testing phase of our image. We have a couple Linux gurus on our team, I'll run it by them and see what they have to say.
[14:18] <roasted> ikonia: it's just, me personally, I'm drawing a bit of a blank on this setup.
[14:18] <Snowie> Xeneth, first thing to mind is a script to log .... frik what's that command again. where you can see all the current connections
[14:18] <ikonia> roasted: that would be the most professional and safe advise I can offer you
[14:18] <ikonia> roasted: it's not a small task and you need a little experience to make sure you dodge conflicts
[14:19] <ikonia> roasted: if you depend on LTS, then keep away from the gimp PPA data even if it's in the PPA or not
[14:19] <roasted> ikonia: sounds good. I appreciate the insight. Hey if you got a minute, I'd like to throw some FYI's about Motion I ran into last night, in case it helps you in the future with your testing of it.
[14:19] <ikonia> roasted: jump into offtopic, but I've not touched motion for a few days
[14:19] <roasted> ikonia: you got it.
[14:20] <Xeneth> Snowie: You mean netstat?
[14:20] <Snowie> Xeneth, that would be it.

[14:21] <Snowie> Xeneth, but i see now it's nowhere near enough detail for what your after
[14:21] <obelus> Also, please don't use numbers in place of letters. :(
[14:22] <Xeneth> Snowie: I want it logged as it's connecting/disconnecting.  issue with netstat, is it get's current connection, not when it was astablished.
[14:22] <Xeneth> ... established
[14:23] <obelus> You can use iptables or ufw rules to log when connections are established. I wouldn't know the exact command to do it though.
[14:23] <Snowie> Xeneth, i was thinking a script that could run routinely and compare what was to what is now. might give you a rough guide.
[14:24] <obelus> Xeneth: ufw or iptables can accomplish what you want. Mine already logs all connections that it blocks, but you can set it to log connections that are allowed too. It logs time, src ip:port and dest ip:port
[14:25] <llutz_> Xeneth: just make sure you have enough diskspace for /var
[14:25] <Xeneth> obelus: Sweet, sounds like what I am looking for.  Not a public server, so I do not have to worry about bloated logs.

[14:26] <obelus> Not sure about the way iptables does it, but the logrotator works on ufw's logs and archives them each month
[14:27] <obelus> I believe the log is customizable, but here's a sample of what mine produces, logging only blocks

[14:30] <maxagaz> how to get ettercap working on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[14:30] <JoseAntonioR> FfoO: I think suspend would work fine.
[14:30] <llutz_> Xeneth: iptables examples: http://bit.ly/LQJfNh   and as i said, be aware, those logs will be huge
[14:30] <obelus> yahqod: All I can suggest is that maybe it's your theme. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions
[14:31] <yahqod> okkk obelus thank u..
[14:31] <obelus> Xeneth: I'd probably scroll down a bit and look at the example for only logging the initial connection to make your logs more readable
[14:32] <FfoO> JoseAntonioR: This one saves on RAM. I need something like hibernate, for I don't have battery pack anymore.
[14:32] <JoseAntonioR> FfoO: You can use hibernate too.
[14:33] <morphoses> is there a non-bloatware version of Ubuntu?
[14:33] <FfoO> JoseAntonioR: Is there a command line? I can't see the option on the desktop environment (Gnome-Shell-Remix)
[14:34] <Snowie> morphoses, lubuntu, but the interface is quite different
[14:34] <llutz_> !mini | morphoses try this if that wasn't a trolling-attempt
[14:34] <JoseAntonioR> FfoO: Ctrl+Alt+T
[14:34] <bjorkintosh> morphoses, debian.
[14:34] <morphoses> debian's a no go..my laptop's sound drivers go awry with debian
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> ah right.
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> is it an old laptop?
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> i use xubuntu myself.
[14:35] <Snowie> morphoses, i have had that running on laptops that still had IR ports and floppy drives
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> i've got a 40 gig harddisk.
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> infact, it's what i'm using right now...
[14:35] <justdave> is there somewhere in Ubuntu to reprogram keyboard keys or how they're interpreted?  My keyboard has media keys on it, which Ubuntu recognizes, but recognizes them wrong. :)  It thinks my "volume up" button is actually "activate screensaver" despite not being set for that in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel
[14:35] <bjorkintosh> a dell inspiron 6000.
[14:35] <Snowie> morphoses, but, minimal cd and pick and choose, is, most likely a better option
[14:36] <justdave> I don't see a defined shortcut for "activate screensaver" in the control panel, only "lock screen", and that one's disabled, but hitting my volume up button locks the screen anyway
[14:37] <justdave> if I try to program "volume up" for that button, it puts "screensaver" as the name of the key I pushed
[14:37] <morphoses> Thank you..I've used Ubuntu before and it comes with extra apps that won't be needed by rent's, so instead of manually uninstalling everything figured going with a lite/minimal version would be the good choice
[14:37] <justdave> and it still activates the screensaver instead of bumping the volume when I press it.
[14:37] <FfoO> JoseAntonioR: I need the command, please.
[14:37] <The_Explorer> ikonia, As a randomed style troubleshooting curiousity, I reran the compression process in question under a tightvnc rooted Xsession. It appears im having no issues.
[14:37] <FfoO> I already have the terminal
[14:37] <JoseAntonioR> FfoO: The command is hibernate, IIRC
[14:38] <morphoses> once i order wireless adapters i'd be set..i've been bashing my head against the rock trying to install windows on this HD..bs properity drivers etc
[14:39] <stimpie> I have several applications (eg monoDevelop) that do not show in the launcher or tab switcher. Any clues why?
[14:39] <FfoO> JoseAntonioR: Okay, I'll try. Thanks in advance for the help. If it works, I might quit to ping.
[14:40] <diverdude> my lenovo w520 gets extremely hot when running ubuntu doing nothing demanding. Why?? When running windows this does not happen.
[14:40] <justdave> meh, looks like my keyboard thing is a bug in xorg.
[14:40] <justdave> found it in launchpad
[14:40] <justdave> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377175
[14:41] <justdave> that's a 3-year-old bug :(
[14:41] <stimpie> diverdude, use system monitor to see what is going on
[14:42] <diverdude> stimpie: nothing seems to really be going on
[14:42] <diverdude> stimpie:  that is why i dont understand why its so hot
[14:42] <cuddylier> Hello, How would I transfer a mysql database from one computer to another?
[14:42] <jiffe98> anyone know why I am getting this? http://nsab.us/public/mdadm  It seems to fail to add sdd to the raid but adds it to another raid device ?
[14:44] <The_Explorer> *Old School Gnome*: Does anyone know if theres a script or other method of getting gnome back the way I used to have it?
[14:44] <stimpie> diverdude, it could be something with your graphics card.
[14:44] <larissa> cuddylier, you don't want/can't make a dump and restore the dump in another computer?
[14:45] <cuddylier> Sure
[14:45] <llutz_> cuddylier: use mysqldump, dump the database into a file, transfer to other computer
[14:45] <diverdude> stimpie: is it because ubuntu does not support my hardware properly?
[14:45] <cuddylier> llutz_ Where would it dump the mysql?
[14:45] <cuddylier> llutz_ Also, how would I then set it up on the other computer?
[14:45] <llutz_> cuddylier: whereever you tell it to do
[14:45] <FfoO> The_Explorer: have you tried on GRUB screen, or maybe log in screen...?
[14:45] <cuddylier> llutz_ Does it ask me when I type that command?
[14:46] <ratanparai> The_Explorer: I think ubuntu 12.04 have this option, gnome classic
[14:46] <llutz_> cuddylier: no, read "man mysqldump"
[14:46] <cuddylier> llutz_ I'm a ubuntu n00b
[14:46] <cuddylier> llutz_ Where would I type the directory then
[14:46] <stimpie> diverdude, I assume you have 2 graphics cards (i7 + nvidia) for 'normal' usage only the intel is required. The drivers on windows disable the NVIDIA
[14:47] <llutz_> cuddylier: open a terminal, type "man mysqldump" and read.
[14:47] <FfoO> The_Explorer: You should first try first the Login screen as Gnome-classic, indeed.

[14:47] <mohtadi> hi everyone, please, is there a way to make the usb-mass storage module in kernel as a module, and be able to load an embedded system (linux based of couse) from a usb key?
[14:47] <aquaqaua> how to do i adjust wrtie speed in windows image burner ?
[14:47] <diverdude> stimpie: that is correct. but why is that causing heat in such vast amounts?
[14:47] <Phidog> aquaqua why don't you make it on a flash drive?
[14:47] <Phidog> use lili for flash drives, unetbootin sucks
[14:47] <bjorkintosh> is there anyway to convince jackd to use my usb sound card?
[14:48] <compdoc> aquaqaua, it thinks the media youre using is junk
[14:48] <stimpie> diverdude: iam not sure, just making a suggestion
[14:49] <aquaqaua> Thanks all for guys ! :D
[14:49] <stimpie> diverdude, you could try: http://www.tautvidas.com/blog/2012/04/disabling-nvidia-optimus-enabled-card-on-ubuntu-12-dot-04/
[14:55] <sacarlson> mohtadi: I think that's how most of us install ubuntu these days with a usb flash drive so I guess I guess the answer is yes
[14:57] <bieb> anyone here use Crossover Office?
[14:58] <maxagaz> how to have ettercap working on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[15:00] <seeker3b>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[15:00] <MSullins> If i install ubuntu on my system and replace windows 7, can i at any time use my windows 7 recovery disk to reinstall windows and get rid of ubuntu?
[15:00] <ikonia> MSullins: yes
[15:00] <raphul> alguem fala portugues aqui ??
[15:01] <shazzner> I don't think the recovery disk installs the full os
[15:01] <DJones> !pt | raphul
[15:01] <shazzner> unless it's like one of the dell laptops that come with a disk
[15:01] <raphul> ok é q sou novo aqui e nao entendo muito disso
[15:01] <mietek> My gnome-terminal cursor doesn't blink, and I want it to blink.  I checked /desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink, and it's set to true.  /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink_mode is set to on.  What else is there?
[15:01] <MSullins> i think my disk do... it has a system disk and language packs and stuff.
[15:02] <wawowe> maxagaz: apt-get install ettercap-graphical
[15:02] <maxagaz> wawowe: and it works for you ?
[15:02] <maxagaz> wawowe: I mean, you can run it ?
[15:02] <shazzner> MSullins: I would probably just dual boot for now, instead of wiping win 7. Just in case.
[15:02] <shazzner> just my opinion though
[15:03] <wawowe> maxagaz: yup, ettercap -G
[15:03] <wawowe> maxagaz: or -C
[15:03] <MSullins> ok, but im dual booting right now and its kinda sluggish and keeps saying it encountered an internal error
[15:04] <maxagaz> wawowe: great, thanks!
[15:04] <shazzner> huh, are you using Wubi by chance?
[15:04] <MSullins> yes
[15:04] <kantlivelong> anyone here have experience with bumblebee?
[15:04] <shazzner> ah that explains it
[15:04] <shazzner> yeah wubi is pretty slow
[15:05] <wawowe> maxagaz: you need to run it as root
[15:05] <shazzner> if you install ubuntu, but tell it to install alongside windows 7, it will create a separate partition
[15:05] <shazzner> and install grub so you can choose which os you want
[15:05] <maxagaz> wawowe: yes, it works now with the -G option
[15:05] <shazzner> you'll get full hardware acceleration and none of the weird issues wubi has sometimes
[15:05] <MSullins> ok, how would i "uninstall" that partion if needed?
[15:06] <maxagaz> wawowe: wondering why it's not -G by default, it's hard to know it...
[15:06] <fraterm> is there any enhancement to the proxy configuration in ubuntu to allow proxy to be bypassed for certain URLS/Networks?
[15:06] <shazzner> in that case I think window recover disk will work
[15:06] <wawowe> maxagaz: because you can run it without an interface
[15:06] <MSullins> ok, and how would i install GRUB?
[15:06] <maxagaz> wawowe: hmm, ok
[15:06] <shazzner> ubuntu will do it automagically
[15:07] <maxagaz> wawowe: I'll try some mitm attack tomorrow, thanks for your help :-)
[15:07] <shazzner> basically you'll install it alongside of windows (it's one of the options) and next time you boot it will have a menu showing all os options
[15:07] <shazzner> that's grub
[15:07] <MSullins> ok so would i also need to shrink my windows partion?
[15:08] <shazzner> ubuntu should do that too
[15:08] <ironhalik> anyone noticed the lockscreen locking only one display? while still showing the contents of the other one? (you can even click on stuff there)
[15:08] <MSullins> is it safe to let it shrink it?
[15:08] <shazzner> sometimes it makes weird descions though and doesn't give enough swap, so if you really really know what you're doing you can partition it yourself
[15:08] <diverdude> all my CPU's (i have 4) are around 80 degrees, and im not really doing anything "hard work" on my computer. just running ubuntu. Is this normal?
[15:08] <shazzner> I've never had any issues, it's pretty stable these days
[15:08] <jiffe98> why would mdadm --create give me the message 'mdadm: ADD_NEW_DISK for /dev/sdc failed: Device or resource busy' ?
[15:08] <shazzner> your milage may vary
[15:09] <shazzner> that being said though, make sure you have enough free space to begin with
[15:09] <shazzner> ie have a least 10gb or so free on the disk before you start
[15:09] <MSullins> my hard drive is like 250 GB.
[15:10] <sacarlson> jiffe98: sounds like maybe something on /dev/sdc is mounted
[15:10] <shazzner> but if the data is up to 249 GB it'll wind up destroy data
[15:10] <shazzner> *destroying
[15:10] <diverdude> all my CPU's (i have 4) are around 80 degrees, and im not really doing anything "hard work" on my computer. just running ubuntu. Is this normal?
[15:11] <shazzner> if you get my meaning
[15:11] <MSullins> there is atleast 120 GB free with windows and all my current files on it.
[15:11] <jiffe98> sacarlson: its not though
[15:11] <shazzner> ok you should be fine then :)
[15:12] <jiffe98> sacarlson: nothing mounted, I've run --zero-superblock on it, I've tried passing --assume-clean to mdadm --create but it won't add sdd to that raid device
[15:12] <MSullins> Great, still a little scared to do it but i guess i will test my luck =-O
[15:13] <shazzner> MSullins: yeah good luck, let this channel know if you have any issues
[15:13] <jiffe98> mdadm just seems very problematic, I've had problems with pretty much every raid device I've tried to create
[15:13] <tbrown> WIth the Mini Ubuntu iso and I want to get a desktop envirment and I dont know if I should put a password ui or something is there away that I can type in my password and user name in the terminal and go to the desktop experence or something Please I was wondering this how to do this for 2 days:)
[15:13] <MSullins> how big of a jump drive would i need to do this?
[15:14] <shazzner> MSullins: at least 1gb I believe
[15:14] <shazzner> I always a cd though, so I'm not sure
[15:14] <shazzner> *use a

[15:18] <annecy> i have opensuse with gnome shell on a netbook. a huge problem is that dialogues go off the bottom of the screen, and i have to rotate the display to read the contents. is the same in unity?
[15:19] <jiffe98> when I try to run 'mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdd' it says 'mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sdd for write - not zeroing' so it at least thinks something is using it
[15:19] <jiffe98> its not mounted nor is it attached to any raid devices according to /proc/mdstat
[15:20] <jiffe98> although /proc/mdstat says unused devices: <none>
[15:21] <jiffe98> hah, I did a --stop and --assemble --force and it attached it now

[15:50] <reisio> hi
[15:51] <XiaYixuan> how do I enable the displaying of  Chinese characters on Ubuntu?
[15:52] <tbrown> intok: Ya I kind of dont like the Gnome in linux mint that one sucks. It to dang big for application work and the application icons looks so like a Tablet PC. I like lxde Better then Gnome But Gnome classic I cant seem to get it to work on Ubuntu. everytime I install it on a server base I cant get it two work. The os goes back to the terminal base how can I get it two go to the desktop?
[15:52] <reisio> XiaYixuan: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/locallanguage#chinese
[15:52] <reisio> XiaYixuan: I mean they should _display_ by default
[15:52] <reisio> using the locale system wide is another matter
[15:53] <XiaYixuan> I can see an X in a square
[15:53] <reisio> XiaYixuan: you could be missing fonts
[15:53] <tbrown> Does anyone in here no how to change to the desktop experence when you install it on a server or do you have to install the GUI for the password. And how can I just type in the user name and password for just on the terminal and just go into a desktop session or something. Is there away to do that or am I crazy:)
[15:53] <reisio> XiaYixuan: I imagine installing from an image from the ubuntu china website would have it all configured already
[15:54] <matt_caffeine> thanks reisio- got a quick answer there.
[15:54] <reisio> tbrown: server doesn't come with the desktop stuff, IIRC
[15:54] <XiaYixuan> XChat displays the characters fine
[15:54] <reisio> tbrown: you'd have to install it
[15:54] <XiaYixuan> but Mnemosyne does it wrong
[15:54] <reisio> XiaYixuan: okay, where do you see this X box?
[15:54] <reisio> mattgyver: booya :p
[15:55] <CookieM_> XiaYixuan http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/
[15:55] <tbrown> reisio: Yes I understand that I have to install the desktop envirment first I just wonder after the desktop is installed how can I get into the desktop session???
[15:55] <reisio> XiaYixuan: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/help/advanced-preferences.php
[15:55] <reisio> tbrown: you could: start lightdm, or run startx
[15:56] <reisio> tbrown: (or configure ~/.xinitrc and run startx, that is)
[15:57] <tbrown> reisio: I was wondering about that about startx because that works on backtrack two. But I installed the desktop experence or something and I tryed to run startx it work but it did not show the desktop or it did but it show the desktop and the mouse and when I type something it went to the bottom right corner screen:)
[15:58] <reisio> tbrown: you _are_ meant to configure ~/.xinitrc first
[15:58] <XiaYixuan> thx now it works like heaven
[15:59] <tbrown> reisio: How can I configur it first sorry am new two this stuff:)
[15:59] <reisio> say by adding 'exec ck-launch-session gnome-session' to it (or whatever GNOME 3's executable is
[15:59] <reisio> XiaYixuan: what was it?
[15:59] <XiaYixuan> I needed to set Mnemosyne's font to be a Chinese one
[16:00] <reisio> in its own prefs?
[16:00] <XiaYixuan> yeah
[16:00] <reisio> k good to know
[16:00] <reisio> there are a few fonts that support most chars
[16:00] <reisio> http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html
[16:01] <reisio> as in western and CJK

[16:01] <rad_daemon> I have installed Ubuntu Server 12.04. How will I install the default window manager?
[16:01] <reisio> rad_daemon: the default window manager... from the desktop edition?
[16:01] <rad_daemon> reisio, yes
[16:01] <reisio> rad_daemon: you want just the wm or the entire desktop environment?
[16:02] <mneptok> rad_daemon: that's Unity. you'll also need lightdm and other dependencies.
[16:02] <rad_daemon> reisio, the entire desktop environment
[16:02] <reisio> rad_daemon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, IIRC
[16:02] <mneptok> rad_daemon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:02] <rad_daemon> reisio, mneptok, thanks
[16:03] <mneptok> rad_daemon: be aware, that gives you a full-blown Ubuntu desktop. including LibreOffice, Firefox, and all the apps that come with a desktop install.
[16:04] <NastyNaz> how do i paste in to irssi/terminal? ctrl+v not working
[16:04] <mneptok> NastyNaz: ctl-shift-v

[16:10] <aafg> could qnyone help me, unresponsive ubuntu
[16:10] <zizzu> congratulation with ubuntu 12.04, best release ever, if you install nvidia drivers and use flash player u get kicked to the login screen losing all data, if you update nvidia driver with those from nvidia you see flash player video all blue and you get randomly kicked to the login screen losin all data, i gav up after i was watching a blue video and got kicked to the login screen FATALITY FTW
[16:10] <Bulletrulz> hello
[16:11] <aafg> reisio nope still to no avail
[16:11] <reisio> zizzu: former is impossible, latter is nvidia's/adobe's fault :D
[16:11] <obelus> zizzu: I don't know the exact cause of your issue, but it isn't '12.04 doesn't work with nvidia drivers and flash player'
[16:11] <Bulletrulz> zizzu lol xD just use lubuntu
[16:11] <obelus> I've used 12.04 with nvidia and flash player together and not had any issues
[16:11] <reisio> using lubuntu won't help
[16:11] <moustafa> Sorry, xchat crashed
[16:12] <Bulletrulz> zizzu Probely Lieng
[16:12] <zizzu> i done DD if=/dev/zero of=UBUNTU and installed FEDORA 17
[16:12] <shazzner> I've only watched flash videos in Opera which render perfectly; hope this helps
[16:12] <oCean> zizzu: so you came just to rant, please don't continue

[16:12] <oCean> Bulletrulz: let's move on
[16:12] <reisio> aafg: try CTRL+ALT+PrtScrn+k
[16:12] <aafg> reisio any other workaround
[16:13] <Bulletrulz> Hey everyone to update press alt+f4
[16:13] <reisio> zizzu: that won't help you, either
[16:13] <Bulletrulz> lol
[16:13] <reisio> zizzu: nvidia's driver issues and Flash sucking are universal
[16:13] <reisio> not only across all Linux distros, but across all OSes :p
[16:14] <Bulletrulz> zizzu i did not have that problem my bro had nvideo drivers
[16:14] <qknight--> hi. i have a ubuntu server system here and it seems to have no /var/log/messages before 30.5.2012 which is odd. that is the case on two servers here. do i miss something?
[16:14] <qknight--> i meant /var/log/syslog
[16:14] <oCean> Bulletrulz: your "joke" is not appreciated, don't do that here

[16:21] <reisio> aafg: does what?
[16:22] <aafg> reisio 8.* install cd suffice, i have to search in house
[16:22] <Kochon> Hi um, I upgraded Ubuntu to the latest version, and throughout the process it asked me on which drive I wanted to put grub, so I picked the drive on which Ubuntu is installed, but now it won't boot at all, I'm stuck :( can anyone help?
[16:22] <reisio> aafg: oh, yes
[16:22] <reisio> aafg: virtually any live image
[16:23] <reisio> Kochon: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:23] <Kochon> I didnt install windows but I guess you're pointing me there just so I repair grub, thanks!
[16:24] <reisio> Kochon: it's the same process regardless
[16:24] <reisio> reinstalling grub is reinstalling grub :D
[16:24]  * reisio didn't pick the URI
[16:24] <Kochon> alright I'll try that, thanks a bunch
[16:25] <tbrown> Going to install LXDE Desktop Envirement on Ubuntu Minimal. Am reading an article on Ubuntu Forums. So Does anyone else like LXDE or XFCE Desktop Experence. I like them both:)
[16:26] <dr3mro> how to make an applications not to use compiz animation like audacious ?
[16:28] <reisio> tbrown: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu
[16:29] <reisio> dr3mro: #compiz
[16:31] <tbrown> reisio: Hardy Heron 8.04 am installing and reading an article on how to install it on it it okay I got it I dont need any help on this project lol:) Just giving people heads up on what am doing:)
[16:31] <reisio> 8.04? :/
[16:32] <reisio> ...you sure you don't need help?
[16:32] <tbrown> Yep
[16:32] <reisio> 'cause... that version is four years old
[16:32] <oCean> and not longer supported
[16:32] <Happy_Man> try 12.04
[16:32] <Happy_Man> it's four years better :P
[16:33] <tbrown> reisio: That is true:) But it is LTS so I can upgrade anytime:)
[16:33] <reisio> from the server edition you could
[16:33] <reisio> for another year, sure
[16:34] <bakarat> if i set up a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, it works great...until i reboot, has something changed concerning static ips in 12.04?
[16:34] <reisio> bakarat: what happens when you reboot?
[16:35] <Luca> Hello
[16:35] <reisio> hi Luca
[16:35] <bakarat> reisio, well, in general it seems to uses dhcp again though a few days ago i had the weird effect of my pc telling me i had x.x.x.69 (while the fixed one is x.x.x.100) and i could still ping 69 &100
[16:35] <bakarat> reisio, but basically the system thinks (and acts) like it uses dhcp again
[16:35] <Luca> I have seen some screenshots of the ubuntu installer with an option install alongside Windows, do I have to prepare unpartitioned free space in windows for that to work?
[16:36] <bakarat> (i'm not an expert so sorry for being "vague")
[16:36] <reisio> bakarat: how're you determining it's using dhcp again?
[16:36] <Luca> I tried Wubi but I want a proper install since wubi was horribly slow
[16:36] <reisio> Luca: I believe it's meant to resize for you
[16:36] <bakarat> reisio, well it's a guess based on the fact that it gets the same address it had before i made it static. I have not monitored actual network traffic to see dhcp requests going out
[16:36] <reisio> Luca: you should defrag NTFS volumes from inside Windows beforehand, though
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> Luca:  check how your hard drives are partioned now. if you have 4 primary partions. you will need to do some work by hand
[16:36] <reisio> Luca: and backup anything you can't live without, as resizing is not 100000% safe
[16:36] <bakarat> reisio, also, if i restart the networking and network-manager (or combination thereof), it goes back to the static one
[16:37] <reisio> bakarat: so ifconfig doesn't show the IP you set it to be?
[16:37] <SilverWolfXIII> ok so i loaded my live 12.04 disk and now all it is showing is a black screen with a cursor in the upper left corner any suggestions
[16:37] <bakarat> reisio, indeed, until i restart the /etc/init.d/networking & network manager
[16:37] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: what're you trying to do?
[16:37] <reisio> bakarat: and then it is?
[16:38] <SilverWolfXIII> test it to see if it runs before install
[16:38] <reisio> s/is/does show the ip you set/
[16:38] <bakarat> reisio, ye seems to be ok then
[16:38] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: nvidia card?
[16:38] <SilverWolfXIII> yea gtx 550 ti
[16:38] <reisio> bakarat: maybe networkmanager is getting in the way, hum
[16:38] <bakarat> reisio, any chance that network manager is doing something it shouldn't? (i have no clue how it works)
[16:38] <SilverWolfXIII> is that the problem i have debian installed but to advanced for me
[16:39] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: my guess is it's trying to use nouveau (an open source driver that's less problematic to distribute) and it isn't quite familiar with that hardware configuration
[16:39] <bakarat> reisio, is it actually used for anything else or would it be safe/possible to shut network manager down?
[16:39] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: so you'd want to use the proprietary nvidia driver
[16:39] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: too advanced, they're like... practically the same
[16:39] <SilverWolfXIII> how do i doenload a live disk with the other driver
[16:39] <reisio> bakarat: mostly it's used for wireless network management
[16:39] <reisio> bakarat: you use wireless networks with this box?
[16:39] <bakarat> reisio, ah, it's on a desktop computer so not a problem
[16:39] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: you don't usually :)
[16:39] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: it's completely black?
[16:40] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: you could install from the 'alternate' install image, possibly
[16:40] <reisio> which theoretically puts fewer demands on the gpu during install
[16:40] <SilverWolfXIII> yea all black
[16:40] <reisio> bakarat: you could try disabling networkmanager from starting at bootup, reboot and see if that helps
[16:40] <SilverWolfXIII> with a blinking cursor
[16:40] <bakarat> reisio, ye will do, thanks :)
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[16:40] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: like a rectangle?
[16:40] <SilverWolfXIII> yea
[16:41] <reisio> doesn't sound like it got very far, then
[16:41] <SilverWolfXIII> ubottu: thanks
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> SilverWolfXIII:  the nomodeset option is needed for some nvidia systems
[16:41] <bakarat> i don't know if the post has simply faded into the background or there is genuinly no advice, but could something look at my dual screen problem that emerged with 12.04? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11979654)
[16:41] <SilverWolfXIII> no i saw the start of the boot and then it went to the black cursor screen
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> SilverWolfXIII:  definatly try the nomodeset option
[16:42] <SilverWolfXIII> it gives me no options at this point it hasnt gone to the boot choice screen yet
[16:42] <SilverWolfXIII> this is happening as it loads the disk from boot
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> SilverWolfXIII:  read the info at the nomodeset wiki page. it shows you how to use it.
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> you tell it to use nomodeset befor the main os boots
[16:43] <Luca> hmm I wouldnt have enough space on C: to resize anyway, can it also install and resize on a different partition?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> Luca:  you can install ubuntu on any partition.
[16:43] <SilverWolfXIII> this is happening as it boots to cd from bios screen
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> Luca:  you could install to a external usb hd if you wnated.
[16:44] <Luca> that would be silly? the bootloader would be on the external hdd and required to boot either OS?
[16:45] <SilverWolfXIII> im doing a dual boot with win 7 so i want to get rid of debian cuz i dunno enough yet to use it and dual boot with ubuntu and win 7
[16:45] <Jancoover> Hi there :) I have a problem with installing new software on my ubuntu 10.10. How shall I install programs from tar.gz2 packages? Is there any command?
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> Luca:  i dont find it silly at all. I got ubuntu on my external usb. with grub on the external usb. I can boot that ubuntu system on most any pc i have.
[16:45] <Happy_Man> hi
[16:45] <Happy_Man> i'd like to run a user job through upstart
[16:46] <Happy_Man> i've changed around by Upstart.conf
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> Luca:  the windows hd and bootloader for windows is not touched at all
[16:46] <Happy_Man> but it still doesn't seem to be working
[16:46] <tbrown> Installing gedit to go into the /etc/apt/sources.list to put in some commands:)
[16:46] <Luca> orly interesting
[16:46] <Jancoover> Hi there :) I have a problem with installing new software on my ubuntu 10.10. How shall I install programs from tar.gz2 packages? Is there any command?
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> 10.10| Jancoover
[16:47] <reisio> SilverWolfXIII: you said :)
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> !10.10| Jancoover
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  you compile source code - if thats whats in teh archive.
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  so it depends on whats in the archive.
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  and its a good idea to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu
[16:47] <Jancoover> there is a lot of different stuff in the archive
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> Jancoover:  look for some docs on how to cimouike uit.
[16:48] <windbuntu> Ubuntu 12.04 is installed to HD on my desktop as the stand alone OS. it takes less than a minute to boot up but on the way up...when the purple boot screen says ubuntu, and the little dots flow past, a message appears stsating that my disk drive is not ready or not present...then it boots up after that anyway?
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> compile it.. or whatever it is..
[16:48] <windbuntu> stating*
[16:48] <abkarch> hey guys? if i installed ubuntu along windows 7, does it install on the same partition? because i have two unlabed and unlettered partitions in my drive, that according to windows are empty. I just want to know if i can delete them
[16:49] <reisio> abkarch: if they don't have data on them that you want, you can delete them
[16:49] <stueng> did you use wubi ? abkarch ?
[16:49] <windbuntu> i am curious as to how ubuntu 12.04 boots up if it think my disk is not present. I am also curious why it thinks its not present.
[16:49] <stueng> windows cant see ext4 etc so they are not going to have letters etc
[16:50] <stueng> so  I wouldnt delete them...
[16:50] <reisio> windbuntu: from the live image?
[16:50] <abkarch> stueng: no
[16:50] <Jancoover> .wik partition
[16:50] <windbuntu> no its installed to my HD as the stand alone OS reiso
[16:50] <windbuntu> i gave it the whole drive
[16:50] <stueng> abkarch, then no ubuntu would not be on the same partition as windows it will be somewhere else
[16:50] <windbuntu> except for a 1 gig swap
[16:50] <reisio> windbuntu: it must not be on the disk you think it's telling you isn't present
[16:50] <stueng> abkarch, go into ubuntu where you can see all the different partitions and mount them and figure out from ubuntu rather than windows what you can delete
[16:51] <windbuntu> i only have 1 HD reiso and this is not a dual boot
[16:51] <abkarch> http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7194/capturenqe.png
[16:51] <reisio> windbuntu: what's it telling you, exactly?
[16:52] <windbuntu> its says the disk is not or or not present (ubuntu telling me this then boom it goes to desktop shortly after)
[16:52] <stueng> abkarch, you can probably delete the one marked as free space but not the others
[16:52] <stueng> do it form ubuntu, it will make more sense
[16:52] <abkarch> k
[16:52] <windbuntu> ill reboot and try to write it down but it only says it for a couple seconds BRB reiso
[16:52] <reisio> stueng: you can delete any that don't have data you want on them, except for the first two (far left) which you'll probably want
[16:53] <stueng> reisio, so where do you imagine his ubuntu installation is ?
[16:53] <abkarch> reisio, liol i think i want those :D but ima go to ubuntu to check just to be sure, wouldnt want to delete anything accidentally
[16:53] <reisio> stueng: I don't imagine it is anywhere
[16:53] <abkarch> ...?
[16:53] <tbrown> I install gedit but when I type in sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list it says " Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options.:( Can some tell me if am doing this wrong...
[16:54] <abkarch> ima go with stueng on this one
[16:54] <stueng> good idea abk
[16:54] <Pici> tbrown: you should be using gksudo for graphical applications.
[16:54] <reisio> it's an idea, anyways :p
[16:54] <stueng> gtg... later
[16:55] <jmcs> hi is anyone else having trouble login in msn in empathy and pidgin?
[16:55] <lelouch> HeLLO all i have a question if i upgrad my system from 11.10 to 12.04 i will lose data in hard drive ?
[16:55] <tbrown> Pici: How would you say that ass a command " gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list "
[16:56] <lelouch> if  i upgrad my system from 11.10 to 12.04 i will lose data in hard drive ?
[16:56] <Pici> tbrown: yes.
[16:56] <asciicmdr> If you upgrade with upgrade manager, you will not loose anything.
[16:57] <lelouch> asciicmdr: just upgrad with update system
[16:57] <bakarat> *cough* dual screen issue *cough* (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11979654)
[16:57] <tbrown> pici: when I try to install it as sudo apt-get install gksudo. Or am I doing that wrong is it already on there
[16:57] <asciicmdr> lelouch: correct
[16:58] <Pici> tbrown: it should already be on your system.
[16:58] <windbuntu> i guess it only does it sometimes, it didnt say it that time, but when it does say it, it says : "the dev/sda (soemthing like that) is not runiing or is not present" ...it says someting very similar to that, then it just moves on and i always boot to ubuntu desktop.
[16:58] <windbuntu> running*
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  you could summarize the problem. ;)
[16:58] <lelouch> asciicmdr: thanks ;)
[16:58] <jardineworks> non liferay but driving me nuts XSLT question if anyone is up for it
[16:59] <michael__>  Wingma[]
[17:00] <jardineworks> my client, who is an absolute asshole by the way, has the stupidest XML output I have ever seen that I am trying to transform. Like it's epic. Anyway, I select a node at the path /ADI/Metadata/AMS -- that works. This node has two asstributes, Asset_Class and Asset_ID ...
[17:00] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, i'll try :) basically i have had a dual screen setup since at least 9.04, but it is dead in 12.04 (using both free and proprietary drivers). the card is an nvidia 8600gts, with the opensource driver i get a "fuzzy" second screen where the resolution seems way out of wack (even though xrandr claims it's ok), with the proprietary driver i get a black secondary screen. (screenshots taken on the system with both drivers look like a funct
[17:00] <bakarat> ioning dual screen setup)
[17:00] <windbuntu> so there must be a moment in time when ubuntu cannot sence my HD then it catched up and moves on...just an observation. i have been using ubuntu here and there (basics only) since 8.04 and i have never seen that, just wondered.
[17:00] <tbrown> Pici: I had to install Sudo apt-get install gksu
[17:00] <jardineworks> now, my select I assume means I have the AMS node. Does anyone know how I reference the attributes of the node I have?
[17:00] <BobMarley> can somebody give me the link to the source code of the linux kernel that initializes the BSP and the AP?
[17:00] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, i have tried using the screen on another pc or as standalone and it works great, so it's not a hardware problem (it hink)
[17:01] <bakarat> (the xrandr output is posted in the link if necessary)
[17:02] <wwd> guys i am trying to test read speed from my system.. i was thinking rsync'ing large files to /dev/null but rysnc says i can't use more than one file to a non-directory…. how would you test read speed on your system?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> wwd: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
[17:02] <ethek> using unity/ nautilus is there a way for the Move To feature in the right click menu to be customized... ie include Documents , Music and Pictures Folders
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  what kind of monitor?
[17:02] <tbrown> Am getting a Warning when I type in Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open diskplay: While typing in gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> ethek: you can use nautilus-scripts
[17:03] <ethek> hmm
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> tbrown:  you logged into X as a user?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: are you connected via SSH?
[17:03] <wwd> ActionParsnip: cool, will look into it
[17:03] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, it's a packard bell but i can't quite remember which version. I'd have to plug it in to check
[17:04] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, i'll plug it in and hope x doesn't crash (it can become quite unstable with the free driver)
[17:04] <tbrown> Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip: Do you mean as root or something. And I dont know what ssh is?
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  so its a old CRT?
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> tbrown:  how did you login>?
[17:04] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, no regular flat screen through HDMI (the other screen is using DVI)-
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: are you sat and logged in to the same system as you are running the commands on?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: nothing to do with root here:)
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  ive seen some nvidia sysems  requier both monitors plugged in when the system boots up
[17:05] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, i could give it another shot but i've reboot multiple times while fiddling with both free and nvidia drivers (with both screens plugged in)
[17:05] <bakarat> didn't seem to make much of a difference
[17:06] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, the second screen is identified as PKB 24" if that helps...
[17:06] <tbrown> Dr_Willis: when I started my system it said type in your user name and password so I did and I got login. And then I type in sudo su and type in the root password to make it root so???
[17:07] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, btw, i know that "fuzzy" is rather vague, but basically the letters are semi-bolded, slightly distorted, border thickness ranges from 0 to 2 pixels instead of a steady 1 pixel etc
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: there is no root password, using sudo su   uses YOUR password, not roots
[17:07] <tbrown> ActionParsnip: I dont know what you meen while login to the same system I have one system and am login as one user I think it is the administrator user what ever I did on the setup installion:)
[17:07] <Pici> tbrown: This is a server install?
[17:07] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, also interestingly, the screen actually complains that it is not running in the "optimal resolution" which is 1920x1080 (though xrandr says it is)
[17:07] <windbuntu> "Disk Drive / not ready yet or not available"
[17:07] <windbuntu> and options to wait,skip or manually recover---thats what it says reiso!
[17:08] <tbrown> Pici: No it was a miniamle iso 12MB of 8.04?
[17:08] <Pici> tbrown: Fine, no graphical environment then.
[17:08] <tbrown> no
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: thats why then, you have no gui to use gksudo with.
[17:09] <Pici> tbrown: Then you can't use a graphical editor like gedit, just use nano or vim or whatever you like to modify your sources.list.  sudo alone will work with those.
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> tbrown:  dont use sudo su. use sudo -s as needed for a root shell.
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> tbrown:  and theres no need to use sudo -s for a simple editing of a file
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> tbrown: I'd suggest considering a newer release
[17:09] <unRar> Hi
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> hi unRar
[17:10] <tbrown> Pici: what is the command for nano is it sudo nano /etc/ what ever the source is:)
[17:10] <Pici> tbrown: yes.
[17:10] <unperson> How do I change the icon used for an application in the launcher?
[17:11] <tbrown> Pici: Thanks
[17:11] <candery> hello, new to the linux community, just installed 12.04, i have multiple machines running in the house aswell, just curious on what uses could i put to my linux box, and possibly any tips on my future linux journey :)
[17:11] <unperson> I googled it but what I found seemed way too convoluted (involving gconf, etc.).  I have to believe that there's some easier way.
[17:12] <unperson> candery, Welcome.  Honestly, there are so many uses they can be put to it's a hard question to answer.
[17:12] <reisio> candery: take your pick
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> candery: you could use apt-cache to setup a local repo to speed up updates as well as speed up updates locally :)
[17:13] <reisio> candery: give it a bluetooth/wireless connection, hook it up to speakers and have it greet you when you walk in the door
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> candery:  if you have several ubuntu bxs you may want to set one up as a apt-cacher server to save on download bandwith.
[17:13] <unperson> candery, You can use a linux machine as a DVR (using e.g. myth TV), you can run a web server, you can...well, do almost anything.
[17:14] <Squarism> is there any way to free physical mem other than killing processes?
[17:14] <ksbalaji> Please help with mount problem. Unable to run any of system applications.
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> except watch netflix.... ;P
[17:14] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, do you have any other suggestion? otherwise i'll try rebooting again with both drivers (thanks for your help btw)
[17:14] <candery> wow so many options! lol
[17:14] <reisio> you could watch netflix, but it's not simple or cheap
[17:15] <ksbalaji> Cannot run synaptic, apt-get etc.
[17:15] <reisio> plenty of netflix alternatives that are, though
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  other day guy was fighting with nvidia dual monitors.. he swaped them.. and they started working. :) go figure. I never have had any issued with dual moniutors
[17:16] <reisio> you can definitely finesse nvidia-settings
[17:16] <reisio> but you can also use it as designed :p
[17:17] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, me neither until 12.04. i read that the "old" nvidia driver no longer works with the new xorg (or something) and the new nvidia driver does not support older models, 8xxx should still be supported though. i would switch the monitors but only one of them has a hdmi input :(
[17:17] <ksbalaji> My top panel shows application -no dropdown menu. Places - ok. System = only help and support, about Gnome and about Ubuntu.
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  not really tried it on any older machines. so cant really say
[17:17] <bakarat> these days, is nvidia or amd a better investment (for work/dual monitor etc, not for gaming)?
[17:17] <bakarat> ati*
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> id avoid ati
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> intel can work well for normal work. ;0
[17:18] <bakarat> this may sound stupid but can you actually buy standalone intel cards? or is it all built in?
[17:18] <candery> is there anything i can do to use my linux box to add security to my other machines?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> bakarat:  nonot seen any stand alone intel. there was rumors of them  a year or so ago.. but never seen any
[17:18] <bakarat> candery, you could set it up as a firewall...if you're adventurous enough
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> candery:  most likely - not needed  :)
[17:19] <intok> Anyone know why DeVeDe will transcode anything I like even 1920x1080 H.264 video to MPEG2 or Divx MPEG4 just fine, but both Artista and Transmagedon crash trying to transcode anything?
[17:19] <candery> bakarat:, Dr_Willis : my other machines are windows, but okay hehe
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> intok:  how about winff?
[17:19] <bakarat> candery, doesn't matter what the other machines run in the firewall setup
[17:20] <intok> Dr_Willis never heard of it
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> arista has been working very well for me - been plaing with it all week
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> !info winff
[17:20] <candery> bakarat: if i make my linux box into a firewall, can i still use it or will it only be used for a firewall
[17:20] <bakarat> Dr_Willis, can't imagine it'll be easy to find a mobo (with built-in intel) that still works for my old pc
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> wonder what tools devede use.
[17:21] <bakarat> candery, depends how you set it up, you could likely still use it as a regular machine
[17:21] <bakarat> candery, but i think setting it up as a firewall is overkill, your router should be good enough
[17:21] <bakarat> for regular home use anyway
[17:21] <candery> bakarat: okay, makes sense.
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> dlna video server via ushare, plex, or other tools = is a handy use for Linux ;)
[17:22] <gabriel_> hallo
[17:22] <tbrown> Man am felling wered with this 5 hr energy man it kind of kicking my ass:)
[17:22] <ksbalaji> mount error :http://pastebin.com/QrdAV1Mm please help.
[17:23] <bakarat> candery, perhaps the best thing for the server is something like a file server, use samba to share with windows pcs
[17:23] <gabriel_> do you know how to install lexmark z617 on xubuntu?
[17:23] <bakarat> candery, it's nice to be able to stream a movie from anywhere in your house whether it be on your main media center, laptop or cellphone (in my experience anyway :))
[17:23] <asciicmdr> tbrown: chase it with a redbull.
[17:24] <candery> bakarat: hmm that sounds interesting.
[17:24] <bakarat> candery, in my setup all my devices use linux & sftp to mount the central file server files, but samba should do the trick i assume
[17:25] <bakarat> was there a magic sysrq combination to kill x?
[17:25] <eynetro> i heard that ubuntu is going to be making a smart phone OS
[17:26] <bakarat> eynetro, one can hope
[17:26] <Jordan_U> bakarat: alt+sysrk+K will kill whatever is running on the current tty.
[17:26] <bakarat> Jordan_U, ah sweet, thanks :)
[17:26] <Jordan_U> bakarat: You're welcome :)
[17:27] <eynetro> that would be pretty sweet though
[17:28] <ksbalaji> How do I get back my applications dropdown menu please?
[17:28] <bakarat> ksbalaji, like gnome 2 you mean?
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> !notunity| ksbalaji
[17:28] <tbrown> I got a message while installing LXDE: Configuring uswsusp  The swap file or partition that was found in uswusp's configuration file is not active. In most caes this means usersspace software susspend will not work for you and you will need to choose (or let uswsusp choose) another swap space. In some corner cases however, this can be what you want. Continue without a valid swap space? Yes Or No
[17:28]  * Dr_Willis is not sure why ksbalaji  pastebind his mount info
[17:29] <bakarat> ksbalaji, in regular gnome 3 (not unity), this extension looks marvelous: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/327/axe-menu/
[17:30] <ksbalaji> bakarat, I do not get u. I am unable to open synaptic. some files are not mounted I feel. Dr_Willis some files not mounted..

[17:31] <MonkeyDust> !repeat| tbrown
[17:33] <asciicmdr> tbrown: does your system have a swap filesystem?
[17:33] <ksbalaji> bakarat, Dr_Willis, mine is LTS 10.4 - something went wrong and I am unable to use update etc. I feel some files have not been mounted. How to check please?
[17:34] <tbrown> asciicmdr: I dont know what that is. Is it do with the hard drive or something. Because I dont think I made one in the future of the installion?
[17:35] <TRANEX> HI PEOPLE
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> caps
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> ksbalaji:  you mount filesystems..
[17:37] <tbrown> when I type in startlxde it not doing anything it not even loading or giving me a error:( I think it is frozen or something. Can Someone tell me if I did something wrong. I installed the interface meaning the lxde.
[17:37] <ksbalaji> Dr_Willis, when I try to open synaptic, I get error notification: E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory)E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[17:38] <ksbalaji> Dr_Willis, How to find what has not been mounted on boot up? How to mount the left things please?
[17:38] <ozpy> Hi. Does anybody knows if  with the new UEFI will affect Ubuntu? Will Ubuntu capitulate just like Fedora?
[17:39] <MaynardWaters> I am trying to using the usb-creator-gtk to make a persistent usb , I have the iso loaded and the usb drive selected, but the bottom part continues to be greyed out, any suggestions how to remedy?
[17:40] <Jordan_U> ozpy: This channel is for technical support, not speculation on future descisions. Try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[17:40] <ozpy> Thanks
[17:40] <miro-server_> dfgb
[17:40] <Jordan_U> ozpy: You're welcome.
[17:40] <TRANEX> how are you?
[17:41] <Jordan_U> TRANEX: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[17:41] <ksbalaji> I tried to repair broken packages. The app quit midway. I do not know what has gone wrong.
[17:42] <Bulletrulz> i need help
[17:42] <Bulletrulz> i wanna play minecraft
[17:42] <reisio> agreed, you need "help" :p
[17:42] <Bulletrulz> i cannt open it
[17:42] <reisio> what happens when you try to?
[17:42] <Bulletrulz> lol xD\
[17:43] <Bulletrulz> nothing at all
[17:43] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: What filesystem is the partition on the USB drive?
[17:43] <Bulletrulz> it does not open ?
[17:43] <reisio> Bulletrulz: try running it from a terminal
[17:43] <Bulletrulz> resio how?
[17:44] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: Also note that a "persistant" LiveUSB is not the same as a real install, and among other things can't be upgraded properly. If you have the space available I would recommend doing a normal install to the USB if you plan to use it as a normal system.
[17:44] <reisio> Bulletrulz: CTRL+ALT+t
[17:44] <reisio> Bulletrulz: then type 'minecraft' and hit enter
[17:44] <Bulletrulz> k
[17:44] <reisio> Bulletrulz: or dpkg -L minecraft | grep -i bin to get an alternative executable name
[17:44] <tbrown> My terminal is not opening in a windows or nothing. What is going on:(
[17:45] <reisio> tbrown: hrmm?
[17:45] <MaynardWaters> Jordan_U: I formatted in ext4
[17:46] <tbrown> reisio: I installed the LXDE and the interface is working. But it has a button for the terminal and I click it and nothing:(
[17:46] <Bulletrulz> brandon@ubuntu:~$ /home/brandon/minecraft.jar
[17:46] <Bulletrulz> bash: /home/brandon/minecraft.jar: Permission denied
[17:46] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: I don't think that USB Creator supports ext4, though you could set something up manually (or switch to FAT32).
[17:46] <smw_> how do I mount sftp shares in gnome?
[17:46] <Bulletrulz> i get that
[17:46] <smw_> I used to know how... in an old ubuntu
[17:46] <MaynardWaters> Jordan_U: I would also like to do the normal install, I have teh 11.04-1386.iso, and the correct device, but it just .... ooo no ext4
[17:47] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: Why are you installing 11.04 rather than 12.04 LTS?
[17:47] <reisio> tbrown: install lxterminal from universe
[17:47] <MaynardWaters> smw_: there is usually a connect to server under one of the drop down menus that has a windows shareand sftp option
[17:47] <smw_> Myrtti, how about on gnome-shell?
[17:48] <MaynardWaters> Jordan_U: in my experience 11.04 is less resurce intensive
[17:48] <WarOfTheNerd> MaynardWaters, O_o
[17:48] <smw_> MaynardWaters, nm, I figured it out
[17:48] <WarOfTheNerd> MaynardWaters, How do you guess that 11.04 is less resource intensive?
[17:48] <ksbalaji> Dr_Willis, May be I try my luck another time. Till then no updates, no system utilities etc!
[17:48] <tbrown> reisio: I dont have the store I cant get the brower to work eather. Do you want me to restart the computer and try again:(
[17:49] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: Using old versions of software to get less resource usage is a little silly when you're using GNU/Linux. Have you tried LUbuntu or Xubuntu?
[17:49] <reisio> tbrown: first I want you to stop impersonating a little frowning girl
[17:49] <Bulletrulz> hmmmm
[17:49] <reisio> tbrown: the browser doesn't work, or the network doesn't?
[17:49] <Bulletrulz> should i use sunjdk to play minecraft
[17:49] <MaynardWaters> Jordan_U: I have not, if you recommend those then I will give them a try
[17:49] <reisio> Bulletrulz: you should use icedtea if you can help it
[17:49] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, no
[17:49] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, look on the Minecraft website dude
[17:49] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, you're not running it the way you're meant to based on what the developer even says
[17:50] <Bulletrulz> ok idk what im supposed to do
[17:50] <MaynardWaters> Jordan_U: thanks a bunch, i was pounding my head against the ext4 for a while
[17:50] <Bulletrulz> sund jdk lets me run it on mint
[17:50] <reisio> Bulletrulz: did you run it from a terminal yet?
[17:50] <Bulletrulz> im trying icedtea but its not working
[17:51] <Bulletrulz> reisio minecraft does not work
[17:51] <reisio> Bulletrulz: you said
[17:51] <reisio> Bulletrulz: did you run it from a terminal yet?
[17:51] <WarOfTheNerd> MaynardWaters, try the following:  java -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[17:51] <Bulletrulz> it comes in a .jar file
[17:51] <Bulletrulz> yes
[17:51] <WarOfTheNerd> err sorry
[17:51] <reisio> Bulletrulz: ah
[17:51] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz* try java -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[17:51] <WarOfTheNerd> then it will execute properly
[17:52] <Bulletrulz> warofthenerd Error: Could not find or load main class net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[17:53] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, try java Minecraft.jar on its own
[17:53] <Bulletrulz> ok
[17:53] <eynetro> when people talk about adding language support does it just mean changing the layout of the keyboard so they can write in their given script of choice or does it mean it changes the language displayed?
[17:53] <Bulletrulz> nothing loads UP!
[17:54] <Bulletrulz> i guess ill try sunjdk
[17:54] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, one last try:  chmod 755 Minecraft.jar
[17:54] <WarOfTheNerd> Bulletrulz, then ./Minecraft.jar will execute
[17:54] <Bulletrulz> hmmmmmm
[17:55] <WarOfTheNerd> The thing is, Notch changed the minecraft launcher.  The one I used at the time Minecraft first came out as Beta worked just fine on OpenJDK JRE
[17:55] <Bulletrulz> MOPE
[17:55] <Bulletrulz> nope
[17:55] <Luca> Hello.

[18:06] <j_elly> ubuntu 11.04: no video signal on extern monitor via hdmi, no hardware - problem with hdmi - works with win 7
[18:07] <j_elly> hardware is asus notebook; shows blank screen if extern monitor is connected via hdmi; no signal to extern monitor
[18:08] <j_elly> any experiences with that?
[18:10] <MaynardWaters> j_elly: checked bios?
[18:10] <j_elly> yes - no bios switch for nvidia/intel
[18:13] <j_elly> although i didnt change anything in bios, maybe driver problem? hdmi-connection tomonitor was ok with fresh installation of ubuntu 11.04 from dvd, changed after recent update i think
[18:14] <jamesbond_> hi dear friends
[18:14] <j_elly> dont know exactly when bec using ubuntu 11.04 since mid-2011
[18:14] <halakar> hey guise
[18:14] <halakar> hey guise.  I want to slap Windows 8 on my rig, but I already have ubuntu installed.  Anything I need to do?  I heard Windows 8 plays nicely with other OSes and that it'll have an entry in the boot loader for Ubuntu.
[18:14] <j_elly> hi mr bond how is your gold-finger?
[18:15] <jamesbond_> im having problems to play pokerstars on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS some one can help me how to fix
[18:15] <Pici> halakar: You'll need to reinstall grub after installing windows.  Normally Windows will overwrite the bootloader, and grub will not automatically detect it until you do the reinstall anyway.
[18:15] <Pici> halakar: see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:16] <j_elly> as long as you dont slap girls you can slap win8 with ubuntu as dualboor
[18:16] <j_elly> dualboot
[18:16] <jamesbond_> im having problems to play pokerstars on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS some one can help me how to fix
[18:16] <j_elly> pokerstars is a browser game?
[18:16] <jamesbond_> no
[18:16] <nixbox> i am using network namespaces using the "unshare -n" command, but how do I access the information about the interfaces created in a different network namespace? is there a way to "attach" to that network namespace? In other words is there a way to create a process that belongs to the tree of a specific process?
[18:17] <jamesbond_> old ubuntu version i have install the wine than pokerstars
[18:17] <jamesbond_> and it works perfect
[18:18] <jamesbond_> now i instal and when i try to run doesnt run
[18:19] <jamesbond_> j_elly can you help me please
[18:20] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: I'm currently running LUbuntu with no noticable latency for the tasks I do (web browsing and working with the terminal) on a laptop with a Pentium M, integrated Intel graphics, and 100 MiB of RAM. If you're looking for a light but modern system, LUbuntu is great.
[18:21] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: (That's LUbuntu 12.04).
[18:21] <reisio> 100, sheesh
[18:21] <j_elly> i'm sorry no, i don't have wine installed either nor playing games with ubuntu, using win7 on dualboot system instead
[18:21] <Jordan_U> !wine | jamesbond_
[18:21] <reisio> Wine is, anyways
[18:22] <nixbox> Jordan_U: 100M of RAM, wow
[18:25] <Jordan_U> MaynardWaters: nixbox: reisio: OK, I made a huge mistake and misread "1001" as "101" in free -m. It's 1 GiB on the machine I'm currently working with. I have Used LUbuntu on a machine that really had 128 MiB of RAM though.
[18:26] <numberto1> ubuntu crashes everytime I start skype or skypetab. Ubuntu 12.04
[18:26] <aondmm> dobry vecer
[18:26] <reisio> Jordan_U: okay :)
[18:26] <j_elly> thats a lot of ra, how you fill that with data?
[18:26] <j_elly> ram sorry
[18:26] <numberto1> aondmm: ubuntu-ru
[18:27] <reisio> 1GB still isn't "a lot" and LXDE is nice regardless
[18:27] <reisio> but '100mb' definitely made me wonder :p
[18:27] <asciicmdr> heh, nice
[18:27] <L3top> "a lot" is a relative term.
[18:28] <nixbox> Jordan_U: happens :)
[18:28] <j_elly> do you know any term that is not relative anyway?
[18:28] <numberto1> anybody had problem with skype here?
[18:28] <j_elly> no i do not skype so no problem
[18:29] <j_elly> :)
[18:29] <halakar> j_elly, so you're sayin' i just slap win8 on there and it'll config it's bootloader with Ubuntu as a choice, ya ?
[18:30] <j_elly> i dont know, installed ubuntu after win7 has been already on partition and grub did very well in writing bootconfig for ubuntu and win so why i should not work with win 8 if you do like it has been said befor - installing grub after win 8
[18:31] <j_elly> i = it sorry
[18:31] <Jordan_U> halakar: Follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot to restore GRUB after Windows clobbers it.
[18:32] <j_elly> so that should be fin with win8 also
[18:33] <j_elly> but i still wonder how you slap win8? maybe thats the right threatment for a microsoft product but how you do that?
[18:33] <j_elly> :)
[18:40] <rolandb> am i safe to assume that adding a lubuntu install to a USB stick just requires a seperate partition and a GRUB edit?
[18:41] <reisio> sepArate
[18:41] <reisio> rolandb: I wouldn't be surprised if you can dd it like other Ubuntu images
[18:41] <bolosaur> Hello.
[18:41] <bolosaur> export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
[18:41] <bolosaur> Can someone please explain what this does?
[18:42] <j_elly> but youre not safe anyway
[18:42] <j_elly> if it requires it or not :)
[18:46] <rolandb> reisio, dd or add?
[18:46] <bolosaur> Is it possible to create an executable file that - when I double-click it - will execute a terminal command?
[18:46] <bolosaur> so i can place it on my desktop
[18:46] <reisio> rolandb: dd
[18:47] <Guest53670> Wilky
[18:47] <escott> bolosaur, just create a script that calls to gnome-terminal
[18:47] <j_elly> 	export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
[18:48] <bolosaur> gnome-terminal is not in the list of associated apps
[18:49] <Guest53670> What's up for ubuntu 10.04?
[18:49] <reisio> dunno, what's up
[18:49] <schultza>  what's the package for jdk 6?
[18:50] <bolosaur> OK escott I managed to associate my .sh file with the terminal
[18:50] <domedagen> Is my driver not installed if it can't be found with lsmod?
[18:50] <bolosaur> but when i double-click it it just opens a regular terminal window
[18:50] <bolosaur> it doesn't actually execute the script
[18:50] <tuxgeek> gnome shell ROCKS!
[18:51] <delac> bolosaur: you dont have to do the association. just mark it as executable in the permissions tab
[18:51] <j_elly> typing export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 before starting the game will disable hardware dga mouse

[18:51] <Bulletrulz> help i have a problem when i try to start minecraft
[18:52] <domedagen> Bulletrulz: What is happening?
[18:52] <Bulletrulz> dom i run it from the terminal and press enter game and it just stays black screen
[18:52] <ubuntu_64bit> hi alll
[18:53] <Guest53670> hi
[18:54] <bolosaur> delac: That worked, thanks
[18:54] <domedagen> Bulletrulz: What if you launch it in GUI?
[18:54] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, helllooo
[18:54] <Bulletrulz> i think it is openjdks fault
[18:54] <bolosaur> However, when I "execute" it, it completely ignores the contents of the script
[18:54] <bolosaur> but if i do
[18:54] <bolosaur> bash scriptname.sh from within a terminal
[18:54] <bolosaur> it registers it
[18:54] <bolosaur> how can that be?
[18:54] <FloodBot1> bolosaur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:54] <Guest53670> hi can u hjelp
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: if you mark the file as executable, you can just run it as is, no need for the extra 'bash' word to run it
[18:55] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, yes i need a help
[18:55] <delac> bolosaur: ignores? does the script start with #!/bin/sh
[18:55] <domedagen> Guest53670: What is wrong?
[18:55] <bolosaur> delac: No
[18:55] <samer> hello all, where i can ask for help about postfix ?
[18:55] <bolosaur> it starts with #!/bin/bash
[18:55] <delac> bolosaur: put that as the first line
[18:55] <Bulletrulz> god damn i dont wanna download another one
[18:55] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, can we have a private talk
[18:55] <delac> bolosaur: oh
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: is the file marked as executable?
[18:55] <delac> bolosaur: so it should work...
[18:55] <Guest53670> a bunch of problems
[18:56] <domedagen> Bulletrulz: By launching it from GUI I can rule out some PEBCAK
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest53670: ask and the channel will reply if it can
[18:56] <bolosaur> delac: That didn't work. ActionParsnip: Yes, that's what I've done.
[18:56] <ubuntu_64bit> guest via skype so that i will be showing you you how the problem look like
[18:56] <bolosaur> To give you guys an idea of what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to fix a mouse cursor error when opening DOSbox. This can be done by running a shell script
[18:56] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670,  via skype so that i will be showing you you how the problem look like
[18:56] <bolosaur> so i want to be able to execute this script, and then automatically dosbox
[18:56] <Praxi> hmm does gotomeeting not work on firefox/chromium on ubuntu or do I have something else going on?
[18:56] <root__> Is it possible to encrypt an ext4 partition with lots of data on it already?
[18:56] <bolosaur> however, if i make the script "executable", it just opens dosbox without reading the line that fixes the cursor problem
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: then add dosbox to the bottom of the script....
[18:56] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: I did.
[18:57] <Guest53670> first i cant how's the chat goes on?
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: can you pastebin the script please
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest53670: that's not english
[18:57] <bolosaur> the script now literally reads 1) #!/bin/sh 2) export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 3) dosbox
[18:57] <bolosaur> Where 1), 2) and 3) are the lines.
[18:58] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670,  are  u new to this
[18:58] <bolosaur> If I run the script with "bash scriptname.sh", it works. If I make the script executable and try to run it by double-clicking on it, it opens dosbox but ignores line #2
[18:58] <Guest53670> yes
[18:58] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670,  let go to skype
[18:59] <Guest53670> didoskype5
[18:59] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, ok minee its kayaman  kaya
[18:59] <escott> bolosaur, /bin/sh is /bin/dash you might want /bin/bash, but i dont see any specific bashisms there
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: tried adding the variable in ~/.bashrc?
[19:00] <samer> hello all, where i can ask for help about postfix ?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: yes, change line 1 to #!/bin/bash
[19:00] <Guest53670> kaya man
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> samer: ask away, the channel will reply if it can
[19:01] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, yes man ready am now online
[19:01] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: That's what I originally had before escott told me to change it to sh
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: it's even here: http://lovehateubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/dosbox-on-ubuntu.html
[19:01] <tabularasa> I've got a Wyse T50 that runs Embedded Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS.  I'm trying to use wlx.ini file to update its firmware and I can't figure it out.  I point it to FirmwareServer=http:x.x.x.x and it won't pick up the firmware... any tips?
[19:01] <samer> well i download and setup postfix, also i setup squirrmail and i can send mail to gmail as example but receive mail not working, any one can help me ?
[19:01] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: Where do you want me to add that variable?
[19:01] <bolosaur> ~/.bashrc
[19:01] <bolosaur> or whatever
[19:01] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: That's where I found the script.
[19:02] <bolosaur> And that's what I originally had.
[19:02] <Guest53670> pseudo on skype
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: you could, the script will mean it only applies to the script running
[19:02] <escott> bolosaur, what is dosbox? is it a gui?
[19:03] <j_elly> emulator for running dos games
[19:03] <fraterm> escott, x86 emulator I think.
[19:03] <samer> any one can help me to setup postfix to receive emails :S
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> escott: indeed, its an X app
[19:03] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, make a call
[19:03] <escott> ActionParsnip, i wonder if he would be missing a $DISPLAY variable?
[19:03] <bolosaur> escott: It's a DOS emulator.
[19:04] <delac> bolosaur: does the script work if you run it (from terminal) with sh filename.sh or ./filename.sh ?
[19:04] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, are u there
[19:04] <tabularasa> wlx.ini... anyone?
[19:04] <bolosaur> OK guys let me brief you. The script I found on that page ( http://lovehateubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/dosbox-on-ubuntu.html ) works if I run it from within an already open terminal by using "bash dosbox.sh". If I try to execute it however from within Ubuntu however, it does open DOSbox, but the mouse cursor problem still remains, meaning that the script has failed to read line #2 which is what
[19:04] <bolosaur> fixes the cursor in the first case.
[19:05] <bolosaur> If I try to run it as an executable from within Ubuntu's desktop environment however*
[19:05] <bolosaur> delac: Yes it does.
[19:06] <bolosaur> Just as if I did "bash filename.sh"
[19:06] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670,  are u  there man
[19:06] <bolosaur> But again, if I try to run it by double-clicking it it won't fix my cursor problem.
[19:06] <delac> bolosaur: when you ran it from desktop, did you choose "run" or "run in terminal"?
[19:06] <bolosaur> delac: I've tried both - neither works.
[19:07] <ubuntu_64bit> Guest53670, come on
[19:07] <escott> bolosaur, you could try not exporting the variable and instead prefixing the execution: on one line "WHATEVER=0 dosbox"
[19:07] <WarOfTheNerd> hey guys, is there a package which auto builds NVIDIA kernel modules for kernels on boot?
[19:07] <WarOfTheNerd> I plan to patch the Ubuntu kernel to have SKAS3 support for User Mode Linux (if possible)
[19:08] <bolosaur> Ok, I realized that this is not an Ubuntu problem.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> WarOfTheNerd: you could make a dkms script for it
[19:08] <bolosaur> Apparently, MOVING the cursor while launching dosbox fixes the cursor problem
[19:08] <bolosaur> while letting it be still causes it to occur
[19:08] <bolosaur> I must simply have done different mouse movements when doing differnet types of testing
[19:09] <bolosaur> Sorry about wasting your time.
[19:09] <bolosaur> but thanks for helping
[19:09] <asciicmdr> bolosaur: that is very odd.
[19:09] <darkhalo117> Any way I can change the driver ubuntu uses for my video card when I boot to a live disk?
[19:10] <skunk> how do we file a bug in the Ubuntu software centre? the smooth scrolling is crooked as heck!
[19:10] <j_elly> bolosaur: maybe youre wasting your time, hadn't time anyway
[19:10] <bolosaur> Ugh
[19:11] <rolandb> whats a good size for a /boot partition?
[19:11] <bolosaur> If I create a link to my script
[19:11] <bolosaur> then it once again doesnt work
[19:11] <bolosaur> but if i run it within the same location as dosbox
[19:11] <bolosaur> then it works
[19:11] <bolosaur> ugh im sick of this :/
[19:12] <j_elly> so what are you using dosbox for? monkey island?
[19:12] <escott> rolandb, a few hundred megs will fill up every 6 months or so with kernels and then you have to remove the old ones
[19:12] <bolosaur> Games and qbasic
[19:12] <bolosaur> but i guess linux isnt suited for simple tasks
[19:12] <bolosaur> so ill run windows or something instead
[19:12] <marc> test
[19:12] <marc> sry
[19:13] <asciicmdr> bolosaur: what is the variable you are using to fix the cursor issue?
[19:13] <j_elly> maybe it depends on the user
[19:14] <j_elly> how suited it is
[19:16] <bolosaur> asciicmdr: http://lovehateubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/dosbox-on-ubuntu.html
[19:16] <elijah> What is latest stable for Chromium on Ubuntu? I am at 18 but I thought 19 was out.
[19:16] <bolosaur> export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: did you try the bashrc file?
[19:16] <asciicmdr> bolosaur: kk, jsec.
[19:16] <elijah> When I use the inspector and try to add a new CSS style to test I right click and get a very small, too small context menu where it would normally say add new rule. I want to upgrade to latest stable and hope it fixes it
[19:16] <omerta> hi all
[19:16] <j_elly> hi
[19:16] <elijah> I have done all the updates but am still at 18. What version of Chromium are you guys at?
[19:16] <schultza> Im adding a udev rule to precise, but i have instructions for Gusty/Hardy, Dapper, Karmic, Lucid, and Maverick.. which one should i follow?
[19:17] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: What?
[19:17] <schultza> nevermind, i think i understand it by looking at other files
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: add the export command to ~/.bashrc
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: then change your script to use bash, not sh
[19:19] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: I don't know what that is. I'm new to Linux, sorry.
[19:19] <j_elly> chrome has been updated already to 19, regarding http://google-chrome-browser.com/tags/google-chrome-19
[19:19] <bolosaur> You want me to just edit ~/.bashrc?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: echo "export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0" | tee ~/.bashrc
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> ooops
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> wait
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: echo "export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0" | tee -a  ~/.bashrc
[19:20] <OccupyDemonoid> Hello, I just bought a vpn with Ubuntu on it. How could I remote into it  while displaying the graphical desktop.
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: will add the line to the file, then run: source ~/.bashrc      and run dosbox
[19:20] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: OK it echoed that line
[19:20] <bolosaur> now what?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: source ~/.bashrc      and then run dosbox
[19:21] <bolosaur> ActionParsnip: OK that seems to work
[19:21] <bolosaur> how can I automate that?
[19:22] <delac> bolosaur: it is now automated
[19:23] <delac> bolosaur: you added the export SOMETHING to bashrc file on your home dir and now it runs every time you log in
[19:23] <delac> bolosaur: so it is automatic
[19:23] <delac> bolosaur: if you ever need to get rid of it, just open the bashrc and remove the expot SOMETHING line
[19:24] <bolosaur> Okay
[19:24] <bolosaur> So wait
[19:24] <bolosaur> every time I run Dosbox now, it's going to run that script?
[19:24] <delac> bolosaur: not dosbox, but log in to your desktop
[19:25] <ironhalik> Hmm, can I get dev builds of chromium? Or are dev channels chrome-only?
[19:25] <delac> bolosaur: when you put some script in bashrc, it will run at the login
[19:26] <delac> bolosaur: in this case it just sets up that SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 variable
[19:26] <bolosaur> ahhhhh
[19:26] <bolosaur> gotcha
[19:26] <bolosaur> ok
[19:26] <bolosaur> lemme test it :D

[19:42] <goddard> it is topped out at 3425mb of ram
[19:43] <OerHeks> goddard, what makes you think htop isn't 64 bit?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> goddard: you can check with:   file `which htop`
[19:44] <bolosaur> delac: No clue man.
[19:44] <tbrown> ActionParsnip: There is no way to install anything? I cant access the browser or the terminal or anything that will give me internet access. There no way of telling that I even have internet on here..
[19:44] <zykotick9> goddard: to check if htop executable is 64bit use "file /usr/bin/htop".  but you probably need to check your kernel really, "uname -m"
[19:44] <bolosaur> This problem is far too much of a moving target.

[20:01] <ActionParsnip> klj613: just run:    ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-all
[20:01] <edlinde> ActionParsnip, sorry didn't get you
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> edlinde: it makes sure the file system is healthy, its like chkdsk in windows
[20:02] <edlinde> ActionParsnip, yeah but I don't want to check if the filesystem is healthy or not
[20:02] <edlinde> I will just paste my fdisk output
[20:02] <edlinde> maybe that helps
[20:02] <guntbert> !paste | edlinde
[20:02] <OerHeks> My pc is getting slower and slower booting > 20 s http://picpaste.com/pics/oerpc-precise-20120516-1-vCCPlqsA.1338580876.png  and > 32 s http://picpaste.com/pics/oerpc-precise-20120601-1-1vRzZeVU.1338580835.png  what is going slow?
[20:03] <klj613> ActionParsnip: okay.
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: run:   dmesg | less      look for large gaps in the time on the left. Should give clues
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> klj613: could try another distro in liveCD, see if it is diferent. Something like suse....
[20:07] <eutheria> is there a ppa for unity updates to 12.04?
[20:07] <eutheria> i would really love to have better controls over the menu
[20:07] <klj613> ActionParsnip: im going to try that in a bit. also going to look for a old keyboard to try that.
[20:07] <tuxgeek> get the gnome shell
[20:08] <eFfeM> hi, I've installed 12.04 on ssd, I normally keep firefox open, so on boot it starts automatically with the tabs I had when shutting down, but with the ssd firefix starts before the network is up, what can I do to add a little delay ?
[20:08] <tuxgeek> eutheria: i think it's much better
[20:08] <eutheria> tuxgeek, unity is much much better than 11.10
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> eFfeM: use the sleep command to add a small pause
[20:08] <eutheria> in fact i've left cinnamon
[20:08] <tuxgeek> 11.10?
[20:09] <eutheria> tuxgeek, the last version of ubuntu?
[20:09] <eFfeM> ActionParsnip: figured that but no idea where it stores the commands that are autolaunched
[20:09] <tuxgeek> are you running ubuntu 11.10?
[20:09] <OerHeks> thnx ActionParsnip , i see a gap eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[20:09] <OerHeks> 9 seconds
[20:09] <eutheria> tuxgeek, no unity is much better now than in 11.10
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> eFfeM: in the desktop files in ~/.config/autostart     or use the startup application in dash
[20:10] <tuxgeek> ok
[20:10] <tuxgeek> have you tried gnome shell?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: you can disable ipv6 with the boot option:    ipv6.disable=1
[20:10] <eFfeM> ActionParsnip: ah thanks!
[20:11] <tuxgeek> eutheria: if u havn't already...i suggest you shld
[20:11] <guntbert> !u | tuxgeek
[20:12] <phiscribe> god thats pathetic
[20:12] <eutheria> tuxgeek, not to sound rude, but is english your first language?
[20:12] <Macaroni> i have a problem with the latest ubuntu, my keyboard didn't work, so i decided to run the update manager (typed the password using the character app) and during the update, my screen locked and now it prompts me for my password, only now i can't use the character map, what can i do now?
[20:12] <tuxgeek> eutheria: yeah!
[20:12] <tuxgeek> why?
[20:12] <eutheria> tuxgeek, well i am confused why you don't understand me
[20:13] <eutheria> tuxgeek, unity is much better now than it was in 11.10
[20:13] <tuxgeek> i think i do
[20:13] <tuxgeek> i got that already...:)
[20:13] <eutheria> what i am after is more updates to unity
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> eutheria: indeed, its improving all the time
[20:13] <tuxgeek> ok
[20:13] <tuxgeek> ubuntu software center
[20:14] <eutheria> i was hoping that maybe there was a ppa somewhere with updates to unity?
[20:14] <tuxgeek> ahh
[20:15] <phiscribe> ppa's are evil
[20:16] <eutheria> ppa's are not evil
[20:16] <pedahzur> The US download mirrors seem awfully slow today. Some Ubuntu event/release that I missed?
[20:16] <phiscribe> yes its taking me about 30 min to do a apt-get upgrade, pedahzur
[20:16] <phiscribe> normaly its just a minute or two
[20:16] <pxl> Hey, would anyone mind if I asked a couple of questions?
[20:17] <tuxgeek> shoot
[20:17] <pxl> I'm having some issues installing 12.04 on my mac.
[20:18] <pxl> I've got it on a USB stick and manage to get it running from it two times.
[20:18] <mofacta> Is it possible to install 12.04 with bootcamp?
[20:18] <motherbrain> I am trying to log on to the android forum and other forums but I cann't I have read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration
[20:18] <pxl> I then decided to install it alongside mac os x but realized I needed to do some partitioning.
[20:18] <tuxgeek> ok
[20:18] <tuxgeek> so?
[20:18] <pxl> So, I boot up Lion, partition and and setup.
[20:18] <mofacta> mac disk utility can do that for you no problem
[20:19] <pxl> Try to boot into ubuntu from USb and..
[20:19] <pxl> BAM
[20:19] <pxl> No deal.
[20:19] <motherbrain> but when I issue /msg ,..etc it just pops me out like I was starting another group
[20:19] <pxl> It just wont boot.
[20:19] <pxl> Some text regarding the EFI flickers past for a tenth of a second and the screen goes black.
[20:19] <pxl> Fans rev up, but nothing more.
[20:19] <tuxgeek> is your mac set to boot from usb?
[20:19] <zykotick9> pxl: some macs won't boot gnu/linux from usb... something to keep in mind
[20:20] <pxl> Keep in mind I booted Ubuntu from USB twice before.
[20:20] <pxl> This all happened the same day.
[20:21] <pxl> I realize I should probably burn a cd and try that, but now I'm way too annoyed to let this go.
[20:21] <pxl> HOw can I boot from a USB drive twice and thena bit later not at all?
[20:21] <tuxgeek> are you sure the usd isn't corrupt
[20:21] <pxl> I even redid the whole thing twice.
[20:21] <pxl> Still the same result.
[20:21] <guntbert> !enter | pxl
[20:22] <pxl> Ah, sorry bout that.
[20:23] <mofacta> pxl:  So you're attempting to install ubuntu onto our mac via USB so you can dual boot?
[20:23] <mofacta> Am I right?
[20:23] <pxl> Precisely.
[20:24] <pxl> I just recently partitioned my drive into a OSX drive (HFS+) and one for the Ubuntu installer to work it's magic on (FAT32 for now).

[20:24] <theseus> anyone know of a good ubuntu ftp server with a graphical interface?
[20:25] <mofacta> help
[20:25] <mofacta> ?
[20:25] <mofacta> sorry, shitty typer right now
[20:25] <Fishscene> Theseus: filezilla?
[20:25] <Fishscene> I'm a bit confused by what you mean with "graphical FTP server"
[20:25] <mofacta> pxl: that link might help.  Dunno.
[20:25] <WarOfTheNerd> FishFace, he means a server with a GUI method of configuring it
[20:26] <skarufue> hi. anyone here know their way around exim4 and DKIM?
[20:26] <theseus> yeah, filezilla only has a graphical interface for client but not linux server side
[20:27] <WarOfTheNerd> theseus, why do you need a graphical server config app by the way?
[20:27] <pxl> mofacta: I've read about rEFIt and was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to install anything messing with the EFI. Seeing as I managed to boot into Ubuntu from the stick before I was kind of hoping I just missed something essential this time around.
[20:27] <Fishscene> I'm afraid I've not heard of a GUI ftp server for Linux. I usually use VSFTP as that requires very little configuration and works with the Linux permissions out of the box.
[20:27] <WarOfTheNerd> theseus, editing config files is actually easier...
[20:27] <Yago> hello
[20:27] <Yago> I have a questions pertaining to uninstalling my ubuntu dual boot
[20:27] <mofacta> well with this type of thing you're going to have to do a little hacking to get it to work right
[20:27] <tuxgeek> hello Yago!
[20:28] <WarOfTheNerd> Yago, what are the questions? =]
[20:28] <theseus> no reason, just wanted to know if one existed.  WebAdmin uses a web interface but only handles the SSH perspective and not the actual folder sharing
[20:28] <sloucher> :pxl - I think you should be ok. Do you know to hit the "option" key when you boot
[20:28] <Yago> How can I remove my ubuntu dual boot without my Win Xp reinstallation CD?
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> Yago  delete the ubuntu partition, use gparted
[20:29] <mofacta> MonkeyDust:  You beat me to it!
[20:29] <Yago> MonkeyDust: is there guide somewhere? Im fairly new to this and don't wanna destory my computer :)
[20:29] <mofacta> Or you can use Partition Wizard.  It's so straight forward.
[20:29] <pxl> sloucher: As I said, I've booted up Ubuntu from the USB stick twice before. Using that very method, holding option(alt) to choose my boot disk
[20:29] <skarufue> when i send mails they get a DKIM signature but verification says neutral (Bad Format) more info here: http://pastebin.com/as9Pj6vz
[20:29] <pxl> Somehow, it doesn't work anymore.
[20:29] <MonkeyDust> Yago  boot from a ubuntu live cd or usb, run gparted, delete the ubuntu partition
[20:30] <Yago> MonkeyDust: will i be able to boot back into Windows?
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> Yago  yes
[20:30] <tuxgeek> Yago: ofcourse
[20:30] <Yago> thank-you
[20:30] <Yago> Ill stay around and let you know how everything goes
[20:30] <sloucher> pxl so install ubuntu on the dos partition and ? you should be ready to go?
[20:31] <mofacta> Yago:  Download partition wizard home edition (free).  Make boot media disk.  Boot into Partition Wizard from CD.  Delete Ubuntu partition.  Resize Windows partition as needed.  Apply.  Done.
[20:31]  * MonkeyDust hands mofacta a beer
[20:31] <mofacta> gparted has a rougher interface that you may have a harder time with if you're new to this.
[20:31] <pxl> sloucher: the problem is that I can't boot into the USB anymore, I'll paste my previous description of the problem: "Some text regarding the EFI flickers past for a tenth of a second and the screen goes black."
[20:31] <mofacta> PW is easy as piss.
[20:32] <loculinux> perkines kuliaos
[20:32] <Yago> lol thanks mofacta ... let me copy that somewhere
[20:32] <pxl> It just stopped working.
[20:32] <mofacta> Thanks for the beer!
[20:32] <loculinux> marikones kulios
[20:32] <loculinux> chupen la porroide
[20:32] <Yago> im not that new just not as experienced
[20:33]  * tuxgeek nods at Yago
[20:33] <mofacta> ;)
[20:35] <Yago> how can i ignore all the joined/quit messages?
[20:35] <Yago> on irc
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> Yago  depends on the program you use
[20:36] <Yago> i use good ole google chrome
[20:36] <pxl> Yago: Web client?
[20:36] <Yago> web browser
[20:36] <Yago> webchat.freenode.net
[20:36] <pxl> Yago: click the logo in the top left
[20:36] <hangdeadman> hi can someone please tell me the location in the filesystem of ubuntu 12.04 of the Archive Manager?
[20:36] <pxl> then options. There's the option to hide the messages
[20:36] <Yago> thank-you
[20:36] <pxl> You're welcome
[20:37] <saliak> I'm trying to get emails from a remote server via fetch mail, and deliver them to a local script (via procmail).  i've created an entry in my /etc/aliases file that reads as "foo : /usr/bin/script.sh".  my mda line in fetch mail is mda "proemial -d foo".  when it runs, however, it can't find the user foo.  any ideas what's wrong?
[20:37] <escott> hangdeadman, file-roller
[20:37] <hangdeadman> usr/bin/file-roller?
[20:37] <escott> hangdeadman, maybe. use "which" to find the actual binary
[20:38] <hangdeadman> what would the command be? I am still fairly new to linux and using the terminal, thanks.
[20:39] <guntbert> hangdeadman:      which file-roller
[20:39] <tuxgeek> hangdeadman: command for what?
[20:39] <hangdeadman> thanks!
[20:40] <hangdeadman> Is there a book I could read to better learn how to use the terminal in ubuntu?
[20:40] <tuxgeek> lnag

[20:41] <tuxgeek> get the pdf

[20:47] <EtgarDizz> hello
[20:47] <EtgarDizz> i accidentally delete my search providers from /usr/share/gnome-shell/open-search-providers... can someone pastebin them plz??
[20:48] <saliak> escott: yeah.  I mean, I added a pipe to script as the "value" and ran postalias.
[20:48] <guest2010> !later
[20:48] <saliak> escott: it seemed like that should do it.  i'm clearly missing something
[20:49] <EdgEy> Hello guys. I've just bought a USB camera, it takes micro SD card and has a USB port so that it can be used for 'mass storage mode' too.
[20:49] <Siivrenion> Having a little problem. It seems as if applications are not showing up in the dash for some reason? I don't think I changed anything (or don't know what changed). I have 11.04
[20:49] <EdgEy> I know that the camera is working because if I use a micro SD reader, I can view photos, videos, etc.
[20:49] <escott> saliak, so you have |/usr/bin/script.sh where that script reads from stdin and dumps to the correct mailbox?
[20:49] <EdgEy> But if I connect via USB, it doesn't appear as a mountable drive, nor does anything appear in 'lsusb'
[20:49] <designbybeck> So I'm working on some online videos... Where this video might play in Quicktime or would play from within the webpage... On Ubuntu it is trying to play in Totem Movie Player? but it isn't working
[20:49] <saliak> escott: yeah.  the problem i'm having is that proemial says the user can't be found.
[20:49] <EdgEy> Are there any error logs I can check somewhere?
[20:50] <krababbel> EdgEy: you probably need to switcht its usb mode to mass storage, if actually possible
[20:50] <Siivrenion> EdgEy, many cameras have to be turned on or switched to mass media mode before they will try to associate. does the screen of the camera say it's on that?
[20:50] <escott> saliak, did you restart the procmail service?
[20:50] <OerHeks> EdgEy, did you put it on, after instering the usb cable?
[20:50] <designbybeck> ANy ideas? I have bot ha MOV and a hinted MP4
[20:50] <krababbel> EdgEy: there are cameras without mass storage mode, only ptp mode
[20:50] <Siivrenion> Anyone know how I can adjust what types of things the dash searches for, and why no applciations would be appearing?
[20:50] <EdgEy> well, the design of the camera is such that it should just act as a usb drive - it is very basic and cheap
[20:50] <EdgEy> no screen, etc
[20:51] <krababbel> EdgEy:  i think dmesg logs should tell, if linux sees any device being connected
[20:51] <EdgEy> mass storage mode is advertised, it's possible that the thing is just broken, I am wondering if there is some way for me to check if the system has any idea it exists other than lsusb
[20:51] <EdgEy> thanks krababbel
[20:51] <saliak> escott: hrm. i thought procmail was an mda and wasn't really a service
[20:51] <klj613> on "Printers" (network) it detected my printer (came up twice), tried to use "print test page" on both and on one it goes to the 'job list' but gets stuck on 'processing'. it says the ip address is 'localhost' which is wrong and cant seem to change it
[20:52] <krababbel> EdgEy: np, btw, I have an old nikon compact digital, which just ceased to work over usb after a few months
[20:52] <escott> saliak, its not something i use. i just noticed that you didnt have a | so what you had didnt make much sense
[20:52] <krababbel> same issue
[20:52] <EdgEy> krababbel well I have a point and shoot camera for normal use
[20:52] <designbybeck> i pulled it up on a mac and they both play as expected
[20:52] <EdgEy> this one is a sort of cheapy eBay 'spy cam' for my motorbike helmet, i suspect it might just be dysfunctional :P
[20:53] <krababbel> EdgEy: i don't know, i guess so, my nikon did the exact same thing
