[00:02] <xiamx> is there any cmd i can use to get the information about the memory inserted on my computer? its speed voltage and other specifications
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> xiamx: sudo dmidecode | less     may say
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> xiamx: or show you the motherboard make / model so you can maybe find out. You can always go into the BIOS
[00:05] <sinfuzi0n> How do you change your workspaces in 12.04?
[00:06] <xiamx> ActionParsnip, thanks, got it from dmidecode
[00:07] <ghostchick> sinfuzi0n:  ccsm
[00:08] <sinfuzi0n> ghostchick, Thanks. Just downloaded it, but I thought there was an easier way like with gnome-panel
[00:08] <xiamx> if i use two memory of difference speed, PC3 8500 and PC3 12800, will anything bad happen?
[00:09] <ghostchick> sinfuzi0n: sadly no
[00:10] <sinfuzi0n> xiamx, both memory sticks will adjust to run at the speed of the lowest speed between the two
[00:10] <usr13> sinfuzi0n: Alt-F1, F2, F3 etc.
[00:10] <usr13> sinfuzi0n: or Ctrl-Alt-Right-Arrow, or Left-Arrow
[00:10] <romy420> sinfuzi0n, do u mean switch between workspaces?
[00:11] <romy420> right
[00:11] <sinfuzi0n> No, not to switch between workspaces, but to add/remove more
[00:11] <sinfuzi0n> xiamx, your memory will also only use one channel as opposed to two, if your board supports it, of course
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> sinfuzi0n: are you using compiz?
[00:13] <usr13> sinfuzi0n: Isn't there a settings-manager?
[00:13] <usr13> sinfuzi0n: ... and within that, should be "Workspaces"
[00:14] <sinfuzi0n> usr13, I'm looking through the options within CCSM now, but I still don't see anything related to workspaces, even after a search
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> sinfuzi0n: try myunity
[00:14] <sinfuzi0n> Just found it in CCSM under General Options
[00:15] <sinfuzi0n> Thank you for the help, guys =)
[00:15] <romy420> myunity also does it
[00:15] <sinfuzi0n> CCSM -> General Options -> Desktop Size tab in case anyone else was wondering
[00:15] <sinfuzi0n> romy420, I'll have to check it out. Thanks
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> Just got a 128gb SSD on sale. Noticed its totally Unpartioned. getting ready to put Ubuntu On it. Anything i should  watch out for or be  sure to do when using it? Ive seen various guides on fstab tweaks.. but i mean partitioning wise. Got gparted started up right now.
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: add the mount option:  noatime
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> Im looking at Gparted options now. :) should I align  to MiB, or Cylinder, or NONE. I seem to recall there being some issues with SSDs in this area if not done right.
[00:20] <user1> f
[00:20] <alankila> Dr_Willis: I guess the quality of alignment matters for some controllers only. Modern sandforce-based SSDs seem hugely complicated and basically will reinterpret anything you write, and compress and deduplicate it. I doubt it matters how you align it
[00:20] <WoggleHorns> !op
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> ?
[00:20] <user1> hello do you guys know what might be causing my server to be not available from internet?
[00:21] <WoggleHorns> Emergency
[00:21] <WoggleHorns> Emergency

[00:21] <FloodBot1> WoggleHorns: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> alankila:  reading some guides. they say use the Align to MiB :)  if using gparted on a SSD.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: I thought you were an op...?
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> ive never been an OP.
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[00:22] <romy420> Dr_Willis, that's what i now too
[00:22] <quinten> hey, i'm running 12.04 on a 1.7 ghz machine with just 256 MB ram. any tips for speeding it up? every few minutes the system freezes, i think because it's writing out to swap
[00:22] <romy420> know*
[00:22] <cheetah2> hello do you guys know what might be causing my server to be not available from internet?
[00:22] <quinten> i want to avoid adding more RAM
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> cheetah2: have you port forwarded in your router, assuming you use one
[00:23] <cheetah2> yes
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> One guide seems to imply you should leave 1 MB at the front of the HD unpartioned to insure alingment. but that guide may be out of date.
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> quinten: use LXDE
[00:23] <jrib> quinten: use lighter software or get more ram (ram is really cheap nowadays)

[00:23] <quinten> ActionParsnip: is that lubuntu?
[00:23] <cheetah2> what the hell are we under attack or something?
[00:24] <BarkingFish> cheetah2, yep
[00:24] <Daekdroom> Yes.
[00:24] <elky> cheetah2, just ignore them
[00:24] <diminoten> so what's this about? http://askubuntu.com/questions/129490/error-no-default-or-ui-configuration-directive-found
[00:24] <alankila> I guess there's a lot of recommendations for aligning start of first partition at the first megabyte. Might be more because of the 4096 byte sector drives.
[00:24] <diminoten> the responses are kind of crappy and noninformative
[00:24] <cheetah2> i bet its microsoft
[00:24] <BarkingFish> They're spambots, they  turn up, they spam, they get kicked, and leave
[00:24] <quinten> jrib: it's a temporary use for me, even $30 for more ram is a lot though, if i can use less. just needing it for browsing and connecting to remote desktop for now
[00:24] <romy420> Dr_Willis, afaik it's best to start at 2mb = 2048k
[00:24] <elky> BarkingFish, they do it for reactions, so if you don't give them one, they get less joy
[00:24] <alankila> SSDs have a strong tendency to do their own thing regardless what you write and where, although they too operate at some granularity or notion of sector
[00:24] <jrib> quinten: try something like fluxbox or openbox
[00:25] <GeekAdmin> is Lubuntu faster than Xubuntu?
[00:25] <Dr_Willis> romy420:  yea the guide sort of shows using 2mb then resizeing back to 1mb. (its a windows guide) ;) guess it wont hurt to leave 2mb unallocated
[00:25] <BarkingFish> elky, I'm aware of that. However, if someone asks a question about them, I'm not going to be ignorant and not answer it :)
[00:25] <tb2012fb> Am having a little trouble with Chrome today I was going to youtube and trying to type a video in the search engine and nothing goes in the text box:)
[00:25] <IdleOne> GeekAdmin: that questions was answered in #ubuntu-offtopic, try it and see for yourself
[00:25] <SkeetDroid> can anyone on here point me to a good place to learn java?
[00:25] <IdleOne> ##java
[00:26] <jrib> SkeetDroid: ##java can
[00:26] <diminoten> rofl they'll eat him alive
[00:26] <SkeetDroid> sweet
[00:26] <diminoten> they hate newbies
[00:26] <romy420> but alankila is also right, in that for newer models this may be not so clear
[00:26] <SkeetDroid> im a new. i know some C# but i am trying to get into android dev
[00:26] <SkeetDroid> newb*
[00:26] <Dogman> Hello, this is dog-man and I've having some trouble installing ubuntu
[00:27] <cheetah2> my router says it has given my server a public address and the firewall is open but i cant access the server at all unless from within the network
[00:27] <SkeetDroid> whats your problem?
[00:27] <quinten> SkeetDroid: c# is based on java
[00:27] <Dogman> well anyone help me?
[00:27] <cheetah2> put the cd in dogman
[00:27] <BarkingFish> Dogman, sure. What kind of problems are you having?
[00:27] <miwa> cheetah2: then your router may be lying to you :)
[00:27] <Dogman> Well
[00:27] <Dogman> I am using the windows live CD
[00:28] <tb2012fb> what is wrong with chrome in Ubuntu?
[00:28] <SkeetDroid> im aware, but its still rough starting. seems way diffrent the way it works
[00:28] <blackshirt> dogman, what the problems?
[00:28] <SkeetDroid> well, android dev at least
[00:28] <Dogman> but it starts up and the screen is small and in the top left corner
[00:28] <Dogman> and then it has the orange dots, and then it just goes to a black screen
[00:28] <BarkingFish> There's your first problem.  If you're trying to install ubuntu, you need an ubuntu CD :)
[00:28] <cheetah2> ouch. I had a similar problem and what did was buy a new computer that I was sure would work.
[00:28] <Dogman> I mean't Ubuntu.
[00:28] <Dogman> Ubuntu live cd.
[00:29] <Dogman> Anyway, my deadline is by tonight.
[00:29] <IdleOne> cheetah2: be helpful please, telling someone to buy a new computer is just nonsense.
[00:29] <Dogman> And I have to get this done.
[00:29] <P-Chan> Guys Ubuntu now give mes headache
[00:29] <BarkingFish> Dogman, ok - which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install?
[00:29] <blackshirt> cheetah2, are you sure your network configuration correctly configured?
[00:29] <P-Chan> flash uses 100% of CPU dudes
[00:29] <tb2012fb> I need google chrome to work with ubuntu am using opera browser but am kind of sad because it not working like it should???
[00:29] <cheetah2> I'm just suggesting a possibility. It's what i did.
[00:29] <Dogman> 2.0uh
[00:29] <Dogman> 2.014
[00:29] <Dogman> or
[00:29] <Dogman> 2.04
[00:29] <blackshirt> P-chan, flash was suck thing
[00:29] <Dogman> something like that
[00:29] <BarkingFish> 12.04, Dogman
[00:29] <FloodBot1> Dogman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:30] <Dogman> yes
[00:30] <P-Chan> blackshirt: How you watch screencast on youtube?
[00:30] <BarkingFish> It would be our current Long term support version.  What type of machine are you trying to install it on, a desktop or a laptop?
[00:30] <P-Chan> I need flash to watch processing and blender screencast dude
[00:30] <Dogman> desktop
[00:30] <IdleOne> P-Chan: www.youtube.com/html5
[00:30] <Dogman> my company just recently upgraded
[00:30] <P-Chan> IdleOne: It isn't work for all videos :(
[00:31] <Dogman> its hardrive
[00:31] <P-Chan> Some videos goes to flash :(
[00:31] <Dogman> to a higher amount one.
[00:31] <blackshirt> p-chan, nothing...chromeium browser work flawlessly
[00:31] <Dogman> so we have to re-install, and I can't use wubi
[00:31] <P-Chan> It's hard leave Windows :(
[00:31] <IdleOne> P-Chan: I know but maybe it works for the videos you want to watch. you can also install flashplugin-installer from Software Center
[00:31] <SkeetDroid> how do i join the java chatroom on xchat?
[00:31] <IdleOne> SkeetDroid: /join ##java
[00:31] <BarkingFish> Ok. It's possible you may simply have a duff iso, Dogman - it's happened to me once or twice.  The best thing you can do is to download the iso file again, and re-burn it to a fresh CD or DVD.  If you're burning it from windows, I would recommend you burn the ISO using Nero if you have it available
[00:31] <IdleOne> !register | SkeetDroid
[00:32] <cheetah2> my router has a public proxied subnet.  I dhcp ips to the router. it says it has a public address and that the firewall is open yet i cant access it from outside.
[00:32] <P-Chan> IdleOne: When the webmasters will replace html5 instead flash?
[00:32] <Dogman> Hm, we are using the same cd as before.
[00:32] <Dogman> when we first did it.
[00:32] <tb2012fb> I was wondering if there was a update for flash? In Ubuntu 12.04
[00:32] <SkeetDroid> !register | SkeetDroid
[00:32] <BarkingFish> Could be that the disk is damaged then, possibly.  Sometimes if the disk is scratched, it can fail to pick up or continue with an install
[00:33] <miwa> cheetah2: what do you mean by 'public proxied subnet', and why is your router in posession of a such?
[00:33] <Dogman> Are their any other possibilities?
[00:33] <BarkingFish> as I say, your best bet firstly is to try a new blank CD or DVD, and get the iso file again, re-burn it and have another go
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> tb2012fb: can you use a pastebin and give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[00:33] <Dogman> Alright thanks.
[00:33] <AzzIzzA> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip : noatime isn't really needed, it defaults to relatime now which is pretty much fine for ssd
[00:33] <Dogman> Might be back later, well see.
[00:33] <P-Chan> Anybody now websites that shared old computer pieces like ram memory like free software?
[00:33] <Dogman> Thanks again.
[00:33] <BarkingFish> Not that I can immediately think of, Dogman - if it's worked in the past off the same system, it's unlikely to be 12.04 which is the problem
[00:33] <P-Chan> *know
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> P-Chan: ebay
[00:34] <cheetah2> the router says it gives computers on the network ability to be accessed from outside through a Public Proxied Subnet (NAT/Routed)
[00:34] <P-Chan> ActionParsnip: Ebay dont share
[00:34] <P-Chan> :P
[00:34] <Dogman> Bye guys
[00:34] <BarkingFish> More than likely the disk in the machine is the issue, or the disk  you're installing from, and I'd start with the disk you're installing from first.  If it still doesn't work, come back :)
[00:34] <blackshirt> om?
[00:34] <P-Chan> Like pc graveyeard
[00:34] <miwa> cheetah2: the router sounds like it doesn't really know it's stuff. =P
[00:35] <IdleOne> P-Chan: ask in ##hardware
[00:35] <madbovine> yo guys...how stable is alpha 3 atm?
[00:35] <cheetah2> anyways I'm stuck and don't know what else to try
[00:36] <miwa> cheetah2: but it's probably using NAT to give the computers on the internal network access through it's WAN interface.. with that configuration it really can't 'give' the public ip address to any one computer on the internal network.. unless perhaps your isp has given you more than one IP address?
[00:36] <IdleOne> madbovine: #ubuntu+1 for 12.10
[00:36] <BarkingFish> buy another pc, perhaps, cheetah2?  :P
[00:36] <BarkingFish> sorry, I had to do it :)
[00:37] <quinten> so, short f installing a new destktop environment, no tips to speed things up? i ran the same browser in 10.08--it seems like something else is slowing things down. even the lubuntu environment keep skeeps freezing on me
[00:37] <cheetah2> yes it says the isp has given me a subnet
[00:38] <cheetah2> I do see logic in buying a new pc because if you cant even get the operating system to work you cant even do anything
[00:38] <miwa> cheetah2: well, then the subnet should be specified and you shouldn't be using dhcp, so then just set up the server with the public ip accordingly?
[00:38] <cheetah2> im going to try giving the server a manual ip to see if that works
[00:39] <BarkingFish>  /away
[00:39] <miwa> cheetah2: Most probably though you are using dhcp and your isp has not given you a subnet. ^^
[00:39] <BarkingFish> sorry
[00:40] <benn> Hello everyone.. iam on an XP here.. and i've been playing in "Sounds and audio Properties" in the volume tab... And i have no sound..from the laptop..it only works with my headphones
[00:41] <benn> Hello everyone.. iam on an XP here.. and i've been playing in "Sounds and audio Properties" in the volume tab... And i have no sound..from the laptop..it only works with my headphones
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> benn: this is ubuntu support, not windows
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> benn: try in ##windows
[00:41] <benn> thanks..
[00:42] <madbovine> any one tried out alpha 3?
[00:42] <benn> ActionParsnip: it says cannot join channel for some fishy reason..
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> benn: then i'd ask in #freenode
[00:43] <benn> thanks
[00:43] <aFeijo> I have a nasty problem with my 2 videos, the second one shows up at the login page, but after I enter my password, it turn off
[00:43] <bzzzz> .lastlog cheetah2
[00:43] <cheetah2> how does it work then if I don't have a subnet. Do I input the router ip along with the server local network ip in some way into my dns registrar?
[00:44] <IlikeMoose> where do i setup default programs to open a file? i want vlc to open my media files instead of mplayer
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> cheetah2: the subnet can be calculated if you use a <IP_ADDRESS> for example, the system will assign a class C subnet
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> IlikeMoose: in the cog menu -> system settings -> about
[00:46] <excelsior> benn: I had a hardware issue like that with my old Dell Inspiron,
[00:46] <MrGeneral> what client do you guys use (for ubuntu) to log into a kvm?
[00:46] <miwa> cheetah2: not really, if you only have one public IP address then that's what you're going to have to roll with. You could forward specific ports to specific servers on your internal network, but you can't address a specific machine inside the network from outside.
[00:46] <miwa> cheetah2: this will probably be easier if you just explain what you're trying to set up ^^
[00:47] <cheetah2> web server
[00:47] <MagneticDuck> if I trust that "echo *" will return only one directory
[00:47] <MagneticDuck> ..how do I cd to said directory?
[00:47] <MagneticDuck> I can do "cd *"
[00:47] <MagneticDuck> ..but..
[00:47] <benn> excelsior: yep..its an inspiron
[00:48] <MagneticDuck> hm
[00:48] <excelsior> benn: there may be a hardware toggle that fails to activate the speakers when you remove the headphone jack. Some people replaced the failing hardware but risked damaging their motherboard.
[00:48] <MagneticDuck> okay, what I want to figure out how to do is channel the stdout of one program into the arguments of another
[00:48] <miwa> cheetah2: then just make the router "forward" the appropriate ports to the internal machine that's running the web server, you should also check out a dynamic dns service that will help you keep the domain name pointing to the right IP if you're using dhcp
[00:48] <benn> excelsior: ok ok..sounds great..
[00:49] <excelsior> I got a cheap USB audio card for when I wanted to use my headphones (as the hardware somtimes would actually work)
[00:49] <MagneticDuck> I can create a variable, and then pass that to a program
[00:49] <MagneticDuck> but isn't there any other way to do that?
[00:49] <IlikeMoose> ActionParsnip: i went to system settings and details then default applications and it says "use vlc for video" but when i double click on it it still opens movie player
[00:50] <excelsior> if your speakers spontaneously start working, I'd have the usb soundcard there and stop using the regular headphone jack.
[00:51] <Dalvan> Ubuntu brasil???
[00:51] <BarkingFish> !br | Dalvan
[00:51] <triplc> How to call/run the barebone vte? I remember that in previous version (10.04 ?) I can run "vte", but it does not works in 12.04 ?
[00:52] <P-Chan> Dalvan: Hi Dalvan I am from Brazil IL IL
[00:53] <excelsior> benn: so unless you're confident in your ability to modify motherboards, go to ebay and find a cheap USB audio card.
[00:53] <excelsior> jhon_k: get that?
[00:54] <cheetah2> how do i set up the port forwarding? is that a option in the router options?
[00:54] <triplc> cheetah2: i think iptables support it
[00:54] <elijah> Is there any known issues with bluetooth? I went to pair a device and it sees the device but won't let me click the orange continue button, it is greyed out.
[00:54] <Lil> Question. I have samba setup on ubuntu. The write speeds I am getting are horrid 180KB/s, but my read speeds are 8MB/s. What could be the cause?
[00:55] <elijah> This is the first time I have tried using bluetooth
[00:57] <elijah> Okay, it needed a pin set. But the UI didn't prompt the user for it. Should probably open a bug report for that.
[01:07] <simplew> is possible to set dolphin as the default file manager for gnome classic?
[01:10] <caixa> why doesnt ubuntu 12 do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9NaOP-u8Do
[01:11] <ulkesh> i boot ubuntu 12.04 in about 6 seconds...not sure what you mean
[01:11] <simplew> ulkesh: well if you want a fast boot install Mageia
[01:12] <ulkesh> i regard 6 seconds as a pretty fast boot :)  i was replying to caixa
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> caixa: mine does
[01:12] <simplew> ulkesh: it uses systemd, not this crap
[01:12] <caixa> what do you have to do to get that fast boot?
[01:12] <simplew> and i even have it in an encrypted LVM
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> simplew: just add it to the unity panel and use it as you expect
[01:13] <simplew> caixa: you need to change the scripts
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> caixa: install preload can help if memory serves
[01:13] <simplew> ActionParsnip: add what?
[01:13] <ulkesh> caixa: my apologies, i think i walked into an ongoing conversation (i just logged on :) )
[01:13] <caixa> ActionParsnip, what is install preload?
[01:14] <simplew> ulkesh: im a litle surprised that ubuntu doesnt use systemd, and comparing to Mageia its slower (im using both installed in an encrypted LVM), sorry if i sound like trolling
[01:15] <Jagst3r15> how do I make python 3.2 the default version? I can only see 2.7 now in ubuntu 12.04
[01:15] <ulkesh> simplew: oh no, i should be sorry, i responded without context....only was saying that 6 seconds on a Corsair Force GT 120GB that i have is pretty fast...wasn't sure why he posted a video of 10 seconds in 11.10 when 12.04 can boot in 6 for me :)
[01:18] <babcock> test
[01:18] <djshotglass> i have a couple custom dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf for accessing tlds that dont exist problem is they dont work unless they are before the real dns servers which seems to slow down normal dns of .com etc
[01:18] <djshotglass> does the first have to fail before the second is tried?
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> caixa: its a package....
[01:21] <caixa> ActionParsnip, and that is what improves boot time?
[01:22] <Salman> !pm | ActionParsnip hello

[01:22] <bazhang> !alis | JuJuBee
[01:22] <caixa> yea, i wanted to improve my boot time, that seems like its for applications

[01:23] <simplew> currently in precise is not possible to make a video call, https://bugs.launchpad.net/pidgin/+bug/971867   thats why i have gave up and started with Mageia, and what a great distro, passes ubuntu
[01:23] <bazhang> simplew, lets stick on topic to ubuntu support here, not promoting mageia or other distros
[01:23] <ulkesh> simplew: is that not a pidgin issue?  i'm pretty sure i've done video chat with skype on 12.04
[01:24] <Salman> JuJuBee: Chat MemoServ h
[01:24] <simplew> ulkesh: i dont see any skype package to install in ubuntu repos

[01:26] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me figure out why my iPod is mounted as read-only?
[01:27] <ulkesh> bazhang: good luck, I've seen him banned a few times now and he keeps coming back (IP changes I assume)
[01:35] <Aaton> anyone know where to find more information about the d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe
[01:36] <Aaton> I want to not mount a filesystem but do need to create a logical volume to use later.
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: did you safetly remove it last time you disconnected the device from a PC?
[01:40] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: yes
[01:41] <JuJuBee> I have reset it on my wife's macbook pro several times.  each time I plug into my laptop it mounts as read-only
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: in any OS?
[01:42] <JuJuBee> Haven't tried others.  Just ubuntu
[01:42] <JuJuBee> If I mount back on Mac, I can transfer songs via iTunes
[01:43] <mrdeb> hi
[01:43] <mrdeb> why is vlc player corrupted in 1204
[01:43] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: Any suggestions?
[01:44] <ulkesh> JuJuBee: HFS+ is by default read-only on ubuntu (assuming that's the file system)
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: after you plug it into mac, safetly remove the device, is it better?
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> mrdeb: it's not
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> mrdeb: did you try renaming the vlc config folder in your home folder?

[01:51] <soulstitchmmo> I have Sticky Edges unchecked on my display properties, however the edge is still sticky. How can I fix this?
[01:52] <tcstar> Having sticky edges unchecked should work.  Using 12.04 that's all I had to do when I hooked up my TV on the HDMI port
[01:54] <JoeyJoeJo> How can I remove a package and all its dependencies (as long as no other packages depend on them)?
[01:55] <hwkiller-netbook> trying to remove a meta-package, JoeyJoeJo ?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> JoeyJoeJo: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[01:56] <hwkiller-netbook> that still doesn't work for metapackages, which is infuriating.
[01:56] <Venom> can ubuntu read/write to ZFS?
[01:56] <hwkiller-netbook> the only way I've found to remove metapackages is to query the package, list its dependencies, replace, with "", then remove.
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Venom: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS

[02:48] <peeps> how do i share a folder with samba?  there used to be a sharing context menu in nautilus but i don't see it anymore
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> peeps: just right click the folder to share and you'll see 'sharing' in the contaxt menu
[02:48] <peeps> ActionParsnip, no, it's not there
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> peeps: you could install the samba package before hand to add what is needed
[02:49] <peeps> i already have a couple folders shared from a long time ago, but the contect menu disappeared
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> peeps: http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/quick_sharing_precise.png
[02:49] <peeps> so i know samba is installed
[02:49] <arielsanflo> how install archicad en ubuntu
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> !info archicad
[02:49]  * olskolirc is banned from #Debian just for mentioning that I lasted on Debian one hour after not being there since 2006 - suggested that everyone upgrade and they caught feelings

[02:50] <bazhang> !ot | olskolirc
[02:50] <olskolirc> I mean c'mon already give up the grand dad it was every bit of karmic and wasn't even as functional as when karmic was on ubuntu
[02:50] <olskolirc> oh that's right sorry bazhang
[02:50] <bazhang> olskolirc, stop that
[02:50] <peeps> ActionParsnip, yes i see the screenshot, it doesn't show up on my computer
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> peeps: hmm, weird
[02:51] <peeps> i wonder if it is specific to cinnamon desktop.  it still uses nautilus though
[02:52] <peeps> is there a settings file for samba that i can edit direclty?
[02:53] <peeps> the folders i have shared already don't show in etc/samba/smb.cong
[02:53] <Lil> peeps, the samba config?
[02:53] <peeps> /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:53] <Lil> how did you share them then?
[02:53] <peeps> because there used to be a context menu in nautilus and IT DISSAPEARED
[02:54] <peeps> probably since the last upgrade

[02:54] <RichR> hi, I have two "somewhat" identical 12.0.4 boxes. x11vnc works on one, not on the other (both headless).

[02:54] <Lil> peeps, try what Actionparsnip said.
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> Lil: thanks
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> peeps: also try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus-share

[03:17] <jjgalvez__> I want to share files between my ubuntu desktop and my ubuntu laptop, what is the best way to do that? do I really have to install samba?
[03:17] <usr13> thomasbomb: Can you elaborate on that just a bit?
[03:17] <usr13> jjgalvez__: nfs
[03:17] <usr13> jjgalvez__: Or just scp
[03:17] <thomasbomb> Well my goal is to automatically download youtube videos from my subscriptions
[03:18] <jjgalvez__> usr13: is there a good tutorial for nfs?
[03:18] <usr13> jjgalvez__: scp jjgalvez@<IP_ADDRESS>:/Documents .
[03:18] <jjgalvez__> usr13: what is scp?
[03:18] <thomasbomb> I want to be able to detect if a file cannot be downloaded for whatever reason and save that url for later
[03:18] <Lil> ahh, gnome classic o.O
[03:18] <Lil> i'm in heaven :P
[03:18] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo  jjgalvez__
[03:18] <usr13> jjgalvez__: scp (remote file copy program)
[03:19] <usr13> !nfs | jjgalvez__
[03:19] <jjgalvez__> thanks I'll check out those links
[03:21] <thomasbomb> usr13 I replied to your question above (sorry if you did actually notice them)
[03:21] <usr13> jjgalvez__: The scp command above is just an example. *Specifically  scp jgalvez@<IP_ADDRESS>:/Documents/* .  will copy all files in <IP_ADDRESS>'s Documents directory to the local PC.
[03:21] <jjgalvez__> usr13: Ok thanks that makes sense now
[03:22] <usr13> thomasbomb: Oh I see... yea. well I dono, would have to think about that one a little.
[03:23] <L3top> thomasbomb: What application are you using to do this?
[03:23] <bzzzz> thomasbomb: open firefox/wireshark, reverse the http messages. semi-trivial.
[03:23] <usr13> thomasbomb: All I know is about a Firefox plugin (or a couple of them), that will grab youtube videos and save them locally for offline viewing.
[03:24] <thomasbomb> I'm using youtube-dl
[03:24] <usr13> thomasbomb: Oh, I see you already have one....
[03:25] <thomasbomb> My current script is using grep to find urls to save to a file, which would then be sent to youtube-dl to download
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> thomasbomb: try:  cat file | youtube-dl
[03:26] <thomasbomb> However, that list could contain videos that have already been downloaded and it would be silly to have it try to download each one
[03:26] <thomasbomb> actionparsnip what does cat do?
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> thomasbomb: output's the file, default is to stdout but you can pipe it to commands and such
[03:27] <subcool> someone please help me before i frek...\
[03:27] <usr13> cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output
[03:27] <ghostchick> maybe monitoring the end directory either  by comparing the names with the supposed names if it downloaded correctly or maybe  by redownloading downloads under some size
[03:27] <subcool> im TRYING to boot into USB 12.04 on my desktop- but... its just not happeneing
[03:27] <surf223> can you help me with ubuntu
[03:27] <surf223> i mean wine
[03:28] <subcool> i have like 3 usbs, between 10.04 to 12.04. They work when i use the USB on my laptop- but not agasint the desktop
[03:28] <isanidiot> SUDO RM -RF /*
[03:28] <subcool> the best i hvae gottent o happen, is let the computer see the USB and it reboots instantly
[03:28] <thomasbomb> so cat would output a log then?
[03:28] <L3top> !warning
[03:28] <L3top> not that it would work as it sits.
[03:28] <IlikeMoose> subcool: is your bios on your desktop set for "boot from usb"
[03:28] <subcool> i tell it to boot into USB FDD and USB HDD.. nada
[03:29] <subcool> i've tried every usb port i have..
[03:29] <surf223> so do you know anything about wine
[03:30] <L3top> !details | surf223
[03:31] <caixa> i have a problem when i log out, when i click log out all the window borders dissapear and the logout process is really slow, it doesnt always happen?  any help pls
[03:32] <L3top> subcool: have you checked, simply, the HD boot priority, ignoring the USB stuff?
[03:32] <tr3nton> Are there any tools to poll which window/application currently has focus?
[03:32] <surf223> i am running ubuntu 10.10 (i know its out dated) and i installed wine using terminal and it gave me a disclamer that at the end says ok
[03:32] <subcool> L3top, i select f12 for boot menu and select the usb
[03:32] <L3top> subcool: That does not answer my question.
[03:33] <subcool> L3top, Boot priority is set to usb, hdd , seomthing
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> surf223: Maverick is no longer supported
[03:34] <subcool> the thing cant be that stupid- i have to make sure to turn off my external HDD when boot because it wants to boot off it and then fails.
[03:34] <surf223> i tried to click it and it did nothing then i exited out and when i tried to unistall it with the software center it gives me this.(Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 768, in simulate     return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 936, in _simulate_helper     return depends, status, self._cache
[03:34] <surf223> hello ubottu
[03:34] <L3top> subcool: what I am asking is, in your BIOS, check the HD boot priority, with the USB plugged in. See if it does not simply appaer as a bootable device under hard drives.
[03:34] <subcool> oh thats different
[03:35] <surf223> how do i exit
[03:35] <surf223> hello
[03:36] <subcool> L3top, the usbs are set to the rear... after checking HDD's
[03:36] <L3top> Change the order subcool.
[03:36] <subcool> working it now-
[03:37] <subcool> it doesnt like my 32gig usb
[03:39] <L3top> That happens subcool. It is a limitation of your desktop pc. I assume it is a few years old.
[03:39] <subcool> L3top, ya...
[03:40] <L3top> subcool: It will probably work just great using a 4gb.
[03:40] <subcool> ya, i have 3
[03:41] <subcool> Thanks L3top, things have change.d.
[03:45] <Fusion_> is there a way to force a screen resolation of 1600 X 900 in ubuntu 12.04
[03:46] <L3top> Fusion_: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[03:47] <Fusion_> is that in terminal L3top
[03:49] <L3top> yes please Fusion_.
[03:51] <mister_m> what is a good way to back up my dot files?
[03:51] <bzzzz> mister_m: git
[03:51] <bzzzz> mister_m: github, even
[03:52] <l3d> was wondering about the envelope icon is there a way to uninstall it from ubuntu 12,04
[03:52] <Fusion_> L3top so i get 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Nvidia Corporation NV25GL [Quadro4 750 XGL] [10de:0259] (rev a3)
[03:53] <L3top> Ugh. Quadro 4. Please give me a pastebin of xrandr -q Fusion_
[03:53] <locodir-user987> hi people, can i connect to this net using irc-client, not web, tell me server string please
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> mister_m: copy them to a removable or optical media
[03:57] <gb> strange question i know but here goes is there a themed saner image of ubuntu available or is it like microsoft defaults mired with lots of blinding unreadable to me white screens which you have to negotiate first to set some sane defaults which get ignored by things like update/upgrade manager on a sane install
[03:57] <Fusion_> L3top pastebin.com/N4rTLuTa
[03:58] <tom___> hi. question: downloading ubuntu to install on macbook, have selected 64bit version but filename is ...amd64.iso - does ubuntu only come in 32bit for Intel?
[03:59] <L3top> Fusion_: how is your monitor connected to your computer... meaning what kind of cable?  Are there any cable converters in between?
[03:59] <Fusion_> L3top VGA
[03:59] <Fusion_> no there are not stright VGA (blue ended cable) to the moniter
[04:00] <L3top> Fusion_: lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2 | grep -i kernel
[04:02] <Fusion_> L3top http://pastebin.com/WeKdc2KB
[04:02] <tom___> is only 32bit Ubuntu offered for Intel Macs?
[04:04] <cgkades> tom___: i would think that if your mac is a 64 bit that 64 bit ubuntu would work on it
[04:04] <tom___> isn't AMD64 different to x64 though?
[04:05] <L3top> I am very confused by this Fusion_. What kind of monitor is this? Having a dvi>vga converter would make sense... otherwise this monitor is just NOT reporting any information.
[04:05] <Fusion_> its an LG787LE
[04:05] <thomasbomb> How could I output grep results into an array?
[04:05] <cgkades> tom___: one is intel and one is AMD.. so yeah... but i'm pretty sure that the 64bit ubuntu works on it
[04:05] <L3top> thomasbomb: The channel you want is #bash
[04:06] <L3top> no tom___
[04:06] <thomasbomb> I can't believe I didn't think of that :D
[04:06] <thomasbomb> Thanks L3top
[04:06] <caixa> what desktop environment is closest to osx?
[04:06] <cgkades> osx
[04:06] <Fusion_> is there any way to force the screen size
[04:06] <tom___> sorry, the word i was looking for is "incompatible". that's good news. thanks :)
[04:07] <L3top> Yes Fusion_... but I want to know why this is happening more.
[04:07] <gb> Fusion_: a bigger hammer :)
[04:08] <cgkades> caixa: you can use gnome with a launcher
[04:08] <Fusion_> can you SSH to my server?
[04:08] <L3top> Fusion_: cvt 1600 900 60        I just need the modeline... you can paste it here.
[04:09] <Fusion_> L3Top: Modeline "1600x900_60.00"  118.25  1600 1696 1856 2112  900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
[04:09] <caixa> cgkades, does that use the title bar at the top for app menus?
[04:09] <cgkades> caixa: yeah, the title bar is at the top
[04:09] <caixa> cgkades, sounds good, thanks much
[04:10] <L3top> Fusion_: xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
[04:10] <cgkades> caixa: just use the live cd's to test it out. you dont want the unity desktop though if you want it to really look like a mac
[04:10] <L3top> Fusion_: xrandr --addmode default 1600x900_60.00
[04:11] <L3top> Fusion_: xrandr --output default 1600x900_60.00
[04:11] <L3top> Tell me if the last one errors Fusion_.
[04:13] <Fusion_> so put all three of them through
[04:13] <DerpStep> Hello humans.
[04:16] <Fusion_> L3top the last code just gave me the options for xrandr
[04:16] <L3top> one second Fusion_.
[04:17] <Guest25927> Hii, In ubuntu i need to install printer drivers or it will automaticaly detect it?
[04:18] <L3top> Fusion_: xrandr --output default --mode 1600x900_60.00                sorry. I always forget --mode
[04:18] <naryfa> Guest25927: it should auto-detect
[04:19] <L3top> Depends on the printer Guest25927.
[04:19] <Guest25927> my printer is hp deskjet d1460
[04:20] <Guest25927> thanks
[04:20] <Fusion_> L3top: "cannot find mode 1600x900_60.0
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest25927: Most HP printers detect automatically in Ubuntu due to hplip being part of a default install
[04:21] <L3top> Fusion_: that is... confusing. We just created that mode.
[04:22] <naryfa> Guest25927: Mine is hp j1000 and it was detected

[04:26] <tokinwhiteman> Has anyone else noticed very poor flash quality on youtube in ubuntu 12.04? When I play a video on youtube, it's like it skips everyother second. Idea's?
[04:26] <tokinwhiteman> I've tried both Chrome and Firefox, both yield same results, it just started last night.
[04:27] <caixa> did you install the video drivers tokinwhiteman
[04:27] <tokinwhiteman> yup.
[04:28] <caixa> you restart after installation?
[04:28] <OerHeks> try html5 in youtube, no need for flash
[04:29] <tokinwhiteman> caixa, yea it was working fine the other day
[04:29] <Fusion_> L3top will it be easier if i let you control ther server?
[04:31] <subcool> is it normal for 12.04 to kinda see networking?
[04:31] <L3top> Fusion_: I don't like the liability of that, and if I find a solution, nobody in the world benefits from it but you. I would rather figure out why your monitor is not providing any EDID data at all, to start with.
[04:33] <L3top> subcool: that is not a question that can be accurately answered. Can you be more specific please?
[04:34] <Fusion_> L3top thats fine what would you like me to do next
[04:35] <L3top> Thinking Fusion_.
[04:35] <shi> ln /schoolwork/dowork secrets/displayPorn
[04:36] <shi> ./schoolwork/dowork
[04:36] <Fusion_> ok cool. I may need to duck out soon for an inspection byt i will be back so if you PVT me i can do it when i get home
[04:36] <L3top> Ok Fusion_. I have figured out the problem.
[04:36] <Fusion_> thats good to know :)
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> shi: you sure about the schoolwork folder in the root folder?
[04:37] <L3top> You cannot, and are not running the nvidia-current driver.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> shi: sure you didn't miss a tilde?
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> shi: you also need to escape the space in the folder name
[04:38] <qwebirc71307> I need help with a all-in-one printer problem. I am on Ubuntu 12.04. It is a HP Deskjet 3051A. It is in the 3050A J611 series. I installed the printer wirelessly using CUPS. Everything works fine. Except when i press scan on the printer. It says "Computer not found. Ensure HP software has been installed on the computer.". I have the software installed but when i try to use HPLIP to find the printer wirelessly, it can't find any pr
[04:38] <qwebirc71307> capabilities.
[04:38] <shi> ln /schoolwork/dowork /secrets/displayPorn
[04:38] <Fusion_> so L3top how can i use them because i thought i was
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> qwebirc71307: what scan software have you tried?
[04:38] <shi>  /schoolwork/dowork
[04:39] <qwebirc71307> Scan works fine when i initiate it from the computer
[04:39] <m000gle> Does anyone know if there is  a way to make the Gnome-Shell dash fill the entire vertical space on the desktop/overview?  I have been using the Dash-to-Dock extension in order to make it function similar to the Unity side bar.
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> qwebirc71307: then you'll need to make a script to respond to the press on the scanner (like I said yesterday)
[04:41] <bonny> Can someone help me install savage 2 on ubuntu?
[04:41] <bonny> ive downloaded the file but dont know what to do next.
[04:41] <qwebirc71307> idk how to do that tho. and after some more testing with that xev thing or watever it was im not even sure if it responds
[04:42] <barmillennio> ciao
[04:42] <bonny> here is hte name of the file
[04:42] <bonny> Savage2-<IP_ADDRESS>-linux-installer.run
[04:42] <subcool> L3top, i just booted into USB-12.04 and although im plugged in via Ethernet to my router.. the computer does not see the connection... kinda? According to the icon on the taskbar- its not connected. According to the network manager- it has been connected like 3 times.
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> bonny: where is the file stored?
[04:42] <subcool> L3top, ya, it says its connected in network manager- but... i cant do anything.
[04:42] <L3top> Fusion_: You need to purge the nvidia-current driver and try to install the glx-96 driver... so... sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current; sudo apt-get install nvidia-96              However I believe you will end up having trouble with the abi-somethingorother driver which no longer exists.
[04:43] <bonny> In home folder
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> bonny: chmod +x ~/Savage2-<IP_ADDRESS>-linux-installer.run; sudo ~/Savage2-<IP_ADDRESS>-linux-installer.run
[04:43] <bonny> Ok
[04:43] <bonny> Ok i think its working
[04:43] <bonny> thanks
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> bonny: the file is a Linux binary (like setup.exe in windows), it just needs marking as executable
[04:43] <L3top> bonny: this is the VIA savage video driver?
[04:44] <bonny> What?
[04:44] <Fusion_> ok well we will see how it goes L3top
[04:44] <bonny> ActionParsnip: Ok thanks for letting me know
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> L3top: seems to be a game
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> L3top: http://www.indiedb.com/groups/linux-gamers/downloads/savage-2-a-tortured-soul-v2105-linux-32-bit
[04:45] <L3top> Ok then... nm... was gonna say it is in repos.
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> L3top: looks decent
[04:46] <bonny> It has a desktop icon now
[04:46] <qwebirc71307> so can no one help me with this?
[04:46] <bonny> but when i click it
[04:46] <bonny> its not opening
[04:46] <bonny> Can I open it using terminal?

[04:52] <bonny> precise
[04:53] <rogan2> Anyone want to be super helpful with two strange bugs my ubuntu has developed? Take your pick, Bug A is screen is inverted on boot. Bug B is USB mouse pointer stops working after inactivity, works after mouse click.
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> bonny: seems to be a bug with libk2.so not being found, if you symlink the file to the game directory, it will work. Source: http://www.moddb.com/games/savage-2-a-tortured-soul/forum/thread/game-wont-launch-from-desura-does-from-terminal
[04:53] <L3top> bonny: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver       will be helpful.... but I am not sure it will change the output of the problem you are currently having with the video game.
[04:53] <bonny> So do i try laptops idea?
[04:53] <Jordan_U> rogan2: Inverted color? Upside down?
[04:53] <L3top> follow ActionParsnips advice bonny
[04:54] <bonny> Ok
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> bonny: if you run:  sudo updatedb; locate libk2.so     does it output anything?
[04:55] <gb>   too much noise in here for me to try and see answer to my question so guess the answer is no there is no sane ubuntu installer i can read thanks anyhow bye
[04:55] <rogan2> Jordan_U: Upside down, have tried changing the settings, still occurs. And added startup command to correct it with timer, which does nothing. Opening and closing laptop lid corrects it, or xrandr -o normal but has no long term affect
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> GBD: the ubiquity app is the ubuntu installer
[04:55] <Jordan_U> rogan2: Can you see if the mouse's laser dims with inactivity, and undims on click?
[04:55] <bonny> its not saying anything after i entered my password
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> bonny: give it time, the database needs to update
[04:56] <bonny> So what should I do?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> bonny: wait, when you get to the prompt again, it is done
[04:56] <rogan2> Jordan_U: lazer dims for around 3 seconds, then turns off, turns back on (as dim) when button clicked
[04:56] <bonny> So theres no way i can play?
[04:56] <Jordan_U> rogan2: Are your BIOS menus upside down?
[04:57] <bonny> Please im sorry, but im not sure what you are talking about.
[04:57] <rogan2> Jordan_U: No BIOS is fine, on boot ubuntu loads correct way up, then blacks and reloads upside down.
[04:57] <Jordan_U> rogan2: Does the mouse work normally on another machine/OS? If so, does the laser ever turn off?
[04:57] <bonny> It just says some sort of hack thing when i launch it from terminal
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> bonny: did the prompt come back ?
[04:58] <bonny> Which prompt?
[04:58] <bonny> DO i run savage again?
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> bonny: i'll make it simpler, can you now type in the terminal?
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> bonny: no
[04:58] <bonny> No i cant
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> bonny: then the command hasn't completed yet
[04:59] <bonny> Wait
[04:59] <bonny>  I can now
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> bonny: its updating a database with every file in your OS. It'll take a little while
[04:59] <bonny> Im sorry im just new to linux..
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> bonny: ok, did it output anything
[04:59] <rogan2> Jordan_U:  Just tested on another ubuntu laptop, works fine there, light dims but never goes up
[04:59] <bonny> yes it says
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> bonny: not new to patience though
[04:59] <bonny> /home/bonny/Savage2/libk2.so
[04:59] <rogan2> goes out*
[04:59] <bonny> Im sorry.
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> bonny: ok and is the command you are running to launch the app also in /home/bonny/Savage2 ?
[05:00] <bonny> yes something like that
[05:01] <bonny> /home/bonny/Savage2/savage2.sh
[05:01] <rogan2> On install savage2 adds a shortbut to your desktop, if you see that then it's done
[05:01] <bonny> i do see it
[05:01] <rogan2> (but probably needs a manual update before you can launch it)
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> rogan2: did you install it too?
[05:02] <rogan2> I installed it a while back, was a bit tricky but it worked eventually
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> bonny: ok what is the output of:  uname -a
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> bonny: and the output of:    file /home/bonny/Savage2/libk2.so
[05:03] <bonny> Linux bonny-LT21 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:51:22 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[05:03] <qwebirc71307> My all-in-one HP Deskjet 3050A wont scan to the computer when i press scan on the printer. It will if i initiate it from the computer tho. I installed the computer wirelessly using CUPS because HPLIP wouldnt find my wireless printer
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> bonny: ok, both are 32bit
[05:04] <bonny> Ok
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> bonny: try:  sudo ln -s /home/bonny/Savage2/libk2.so /usr/lib/libk2.so
[05:05] <bonny> Nothing happens
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> bonny: yes, but try the game now
[05:05] <bonny> ok
[05:05] <L3top> qwebirc71307: I assume that button is attempting to activate a piece of software on a windows machine... and is unlikely to work.
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> bonny: something did happen, in Linux you don't get an ok after each command. No news is good news
[05:06] <bonny> Can you send me past ubuntu link?
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> L3top: you could configure it like a multimedia key on a keyboard maybe, to trigger a command using compiz etc
[05:06] <qwebirc71307> i installed the software for the printer for linux
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> bonny: how do you mean?
[05:06] <bonny> It says something abotu an error
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> bonny: can you pastebin the error please
[05:07] <rogan2> qwebirc71307: I have the same printer, I never managed to get any form of wireless scanning working, go you
[05:07] <qwebirc71307> idk how to do that and im not sure if the printer key sends a trigger to the computer
[05:07] <bonny> Yes
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> qwebirc71307: run:  xev   and if it reacts when you press the button, it can be used
[05:08] <bonny> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1120837/
[05:08] <qwebirc71307> ok ill do that. ill be sure not to move the mouse either. cause i think i got a false positive last time
[05:09] <rogan2> bonny: is your computer a netbook?
[05:09] <bonny> yes
[05:09] <qwebirc71307> just ran it. no response. the printer doesnt know the location of the computer tho so i dont think itll send a signal to it
[05:10] <rogan2> bonny:  I am afraid that is the issue, Savage2 wont run on netbooks due to the resolution of the screen (it'
[05:10] <bonny> o..
[05:10] <rogan2> bonny: It never worked on two netbooks I tried it on
[05:10] <bonny> Can i change screen resolutions?
[05:10] <ax562> hello all
[05:10] <rogan2> bonny: Possibly, if you hit f2 and type screen you should be able to, depending on your netbook it might work afterwards
[05:11] <bonny> Ok
[05:11] <bonny> How do i unistall it?
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> rogan2: nice catch
[05:12] <rogan2> ActionParsnip: Happens whenever I come here for help, my problems are too obscure but I get to help others :P
[05:12] <bonny> Is there a way to unistall it?
[05:13] <bonny> Or should i just delete the files and icons..
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> bonny: maybe there is an uninstaller in dash...
[05:13] <bonny> You make me feel stupid lol.
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> bonny: is it there?
[05:14] <bonny> no
[05:14] <rogan2> bonny: Don't feel stupid, I spent 3 hours to do the same haha
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> bonny: let me see
[05:14] <bonny> console.log and startup.cfg
[05:14] <bonny> thats all
[05:15] <qwebirc71307> also with my problem i heard that it could be that i need to open a port on my router. could this be it?
[05:15] <rogan2> I don't know if "sh Savage2-<IP_ADDRESS>-linux-installer.run --uninstall" works, I think there is an uninstaller in the folder
[05:16] <bonny> What?
[05:16] <bonny> How can I let you see?
[05:16] <rogan2> bonny: run ./home/bonny/Savage2/uninstall
[05:16] <bonny> Ok
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> !cookie | rogan2
[05:17] <bonny> rogan2: Thanks it worked
[05:17] <subcool> could someone aid me for a min with a 12.04 installation..
[05:17] <rogan2> Should pop up a dialogue asking if you want to remove savage and it's modules, hit yes obviously
[05:18] <rogan2> Cheers :) have a good day bonny !~
[05:18] <bonny> Wait haha
[05:18] <bonny> Can you suggest any mmo games that might work?
[05:18] <cfhowlett> subcool: details
[05:18] <bonny> And that you are familiar with downloading
[05:19] <rogan2> Hmmm, in Linux sadly things aren't too great in the mmo world... Browser based Runescape is probably the best you're going to get (depending if thats your sort of game)
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> bonny: urbanterror if you like fps, it's like couterstrike with wall jumping
[05:19] <rogan2> It's worth a try if you havent tried it
[05:19] <cfhowlett> bonny: upgraded alien arena
[05:20] <rogan2> Shooting is lame (coming from the guy suggesting runescape).
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> bonny: run:  wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo apt-get update
[05:20] <MonkeyDust> bonny  http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> bonny: you can then use this to install some awesome games: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.04/
[05:20] <subcool> cfhowlett, im going through the motions with the install, trying to install it onto a secondary primary (oxymoron?) partition of my Sda1. but its confusing me- im afraid its going to wipe the entire drive.
[05:20] <bonny> Thanks action
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> bonny: you need the deb to add the ppa first :)
[05:21] <cfhowlett> subcool: ok, you want to go with the manual install, I think it's called "install something else" or some such at the partitioning stage.
[05:21] <subcool> i used the partitoin manager to chagne, and create a ext4 partiiton for it to install on. 13 gigs of space.. the Guided manager is selecting the correct drive, but the before and after comparison looks,, wrong? -
[05:21] <subcool> ya, i went there too- but..
[05:22] <subcool> here, ill do it again anyways.. the guided one is scarying me..
[05:22] <cfhowlett> subcool: so long as you havent' written changes to disk you're OK.  Assume this is a dual boot?
[05:22] <bonny> It opened up software centre
[05:22] <subcool> cfhowlett, ya-
[05:22] <subcool> im in manual setup-
[05:23] <subcool> i see ALL the partitions my computer has,,
[05:23] <subcool> the drive location i want to install on is /dev/sda3
[05:23] <cfhowlett> subcool: good.  Take your time.  (oh, and you DID back up everything, right?)
[05:23] <bonny> ActionParsnip: What do I do now?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> bonny: the website will, you can install any of those games once you install the deb file
[05:23] <subcool> cfhowlett, eh? -
[05:23] <subcool> mostly ya--
[05:24] <cfhowlett> subcool: ok.  /dev/sda3 is where you'll place your / partition.
[05:24] <subcool> ok.. so
[05:24] <subcool> should i delete the parition- or "change" it..
[05:24] <cfhowlett> subcool: note: /dev/sda3 WILL be formatted probably as ext4
[05:24] <subcool> thats fine
[05:24] <cfhowlett> subcool: change
[05:24] <subcool> i just dont want it to format the rest of the drive too
[05:24] <bonny> So, what do i have to after i install the deb file?
[05:25] <bonny> Install it from software centre?
[05:25] <cfhowlett> subcool: understood.  you're ok so far
[05:25] <bonny> It says package doesnt exist
[05:25] <bonny> Check the spelling of the package name, and that the appropriate repository is enabled.
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> bonny: after you install the deb, you can use software centre or the playdeb site to install the games
[05:26] <subcool> ok- seems simple.. i changed it to "use as ext 4" - i clicked ok to format.. and i put in mount point: " / "
[05:26] <cfhowlett> subcool: right, right.  Question ...
[05:26] <bonny> so i dont have to do anything after its in my downloads folder?
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> bonny: I gave the full command you needed to download and install the deb
[05:27] <cfhowlett> subcool: do you want a separate /home or just put all your data under the root partition, i.e. /
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> bonny: you need to install the deb file and then run:  sudo apt-get update
[05:27] <subcool> cfhowlett, at this point- all in one roof. :/
[05:27] <cfhowlett> subcool: advantage of dedicated /home is that you can save your data from install to install
[05:27] <subcool> what do u mean?
[05:28] <cfhowlett> subcool: fair enough.  Size should be, oh, 6 Gigs for ubuntu and some number of gigs for your /home data
[05:28] <subcool> multiple boots, one home directory?
[05:28] <cfhowlett> subcool: no.  multiple upgrades without whiping out your /data each time
[05:28] <bonny> Ok.. I have installed from chrome
[05:28] <bonny> Now what do i do?
[05:28] <subcool> ah- nah.. not this time.
[05:29] <subcool> i use to seperate /var. but- with only 13 gigss. not until i finish my backup
[05:29] <bonny> It says package does not exist on software centre
[05:29] <subcool> thats y im kinda backed up- im fixing my backup machine.. lol
[05:29] <cfhowlett> subcool: 13 for /?  OK ...
[05:29] <subcool> ya- i know..
[05:29] <subcool> ill expand it later
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> bonny: ok, open a terminal and run: wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo apt-get update; rm ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> bonny: all one command
[05:30] <subcool> i have like 6 disks, with data spread across them ALL-
[05:30] <cfhowlett> !raid>subcool
[05:30] <subcool> im trying to consolidate- and my backup- machine is going crazy.. so im reinstalling a x64 os to replace the stupid x32 i have..
[05:30] <bonny> ok
[05:31] <subcool> oh- not raid. .lol
[05:31] <subcool> i have two drives alone that a dead because of that..
[05:31] <subcool> once this is done-i have to crack them to get the info off them..
[05:31] <cfhowlett> subcool: OK.  Hey, BE CERTAIN you've backed up all essentials before you go forward.
[05:31] <subcool> ya, - the importatnt stuff is backed up-
[05:31] <subcool> the system itself isnt- but.. f' it
[05:32] <bonny> ActionParsnip: Is this a job for you.. just wondering.
[05:32] <cfhowlett> subcool: alright then we go forward.  your root system and /home will be on /dev/sda3
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> bonny: nope, just chillin at work, itsquiet
[05:32] <subcool> great- :), lets just hope grub doesnt get destroyed and i cant boot into anything.
[05:32] <bonny> Wow its awesome for you to help people like me haha..
[05:33] <bonny> Alright its done
[05:33] <cfhowlett> subcool: assume grub WILL get wiped and you'll just have to restore.  aCtually easy (says the man who's had to do it WAY too many times)
[05:33] <subcool> i've done it a lot too- still cant stand it
[05:33] <subcool> im installing bootloader onto sda
[05:33] <bonny> I am able to install it now
[05:33] <subcool> or should it be sda3?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> bonny: its a good service
[05:34] <cfhowlett> subcool: Hey you DO have reinstall media for windows, right?  bootloader to /sda
[05:34] <bonny> Actually srry no
[05:34] <bonny> I cant
[05:34] <bonny> Wats the command to intall it in terminal?
[05:34] <cfhowlett> subcool: generally, installing grub to OS partition is not recommended
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> bonny: scroll up, its still there
[05:35] <bonny> I dont see it
[05:36] <subcool> cfhowlett, what? media for windows?
[05:36] <auditor> hai guys I am in bit of a trouble can someone help me its bit of an emergency :(
[05:36] <subcool> an install disk? -
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> bonny: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1120852/
[05:37] <cfhowlett> subcool: Windows installation DVD or download the ISO from digitalriver
[05:37] <subcool> nope-
[05:37] <bonny> Haha :P
[05:37] <cfhowlett> subcool: yeah, an install disk
[05:37] <cfhowlett> auditor: details ...
[05:37] <obelus> I'm having some trouble with Samba server, I don't seem to be able to write to the share from other locations.
[05:37] <auditor> I a using Precise with Gnome shell > I can open the network manager by right clciking network aplet, but all options are greyed out inside the wireless network i am using such as the IP DNS and the options button
[05:38] <subcool> im sure i have one somewhere- but- not that i can recall...
[05:38] <cfhowlett> subcool: OK, so long as you have the windows activation key, you can download Win7 from digitalriver, make a boot USB and reinstall if necessary
[05:38] <rogan2> obelus: Is the share write protected? As in you (your user?) only has authority to READ?
[05:39] <subcool> cfhowlett, thats a cool place.. never saw it before. ya i have a key. somewhere- lol
[05:39] <obelus> rogan2: I've tried a lot of different configurations, at the moment, it just has the comment, path, and read only = no
[05:39] <cfhowlett> auditor: first guess, check the hardware switch for your wireless.  it should be ON and then your options should appear on the menu.
[05:39] <subcool> i was using the new win8, but ... then it crashed.. :/
[05:39] <bonny> So I can just click install game from website and it should work?
[05:40] <auditor> cfhowlett : I am currently using the connection, am chatting from it , It is running but i am unable to edit any option
[05:40] <rogan2> bonny: Sure will, it might pop up software center and make you click ok, or install there
[05:40] <iperich> Hi, I have a Logitech For Notebook Deluxe webcam working in a HP530 notebook, with Ubuntu 12.04, the webcam works OK in cheese and skype, but in Chrome and Firefox (flash plugin) it only shows a green screen, I think it is probably a flash plugin issue...
[05:40] <cfhowlett> auditor: as root you can't edit?
[05:41] <cfhowlett> subcool: uhhh, win8 is still beta IIRC
[05:41] <auditor> cfhowlett : how do open the network manager as root, it is not requestiong for password
[05:42] <bonny> Well rogan, Action cant thank you guys anymore
[05:42] <cfhowlett> auditor: if you're in root account, you should be able to edit.  If you're in a regular user account, that option is not presented IIRC
[05:42] <bonny> Thanks so much.
[05:42] <auditor> cfhowlett : i am in admina account but i have to SUDO right how can i do that
[05:43] <cfhowlett> auditor: su -i I think
[05:43] <lkthomas> hey guys, any run proxmox on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[05:43] <auditor> cfhowlett : ya that part is clear, i mean what is the command for the network manager
[05:44] <subcool> cfhowlett, yea- i downloaded the alpha like last feb.. it was ok.. kinda buggy.
[05:44] <subcool> but workable
[05:45] <subcool> then... something stupid crashed.. virus.. something - idk.. but the system basically went nuts
[05:45] <subcool> OH YA
[05:45] <Jordan_U> rogan2: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[05:45] <subcool> the sysx64 or something went into overdrive and decided it needed to take up 3/4 of hte hd. preventing me for doing ANTYING.
[05:45]  * ActionParsnip hi5s rogan2
[05:46] <subcool> so then while i went through some guuides to fix it- trying to delete the mass of the foler- the systm basically crashed..
[05:47] <cfhowlett> subcool: heh.  You said "stable" ...
[05:47] <subcool> yea- it was.... until it crashed
[05:47] <subcool> until i crashed it- the verdict is still out
[05:48] <auditor> cfhowlett : ya that part is clear, i mean what is the command for the network manager
[05:48] <rogan2> Jordan_U: paste.ubuntu.com/1120869/
[05:48] <cfhowlett> auditor: nmcli I believe
[05:49] <cfhowlett> auditor: or nm
[05:50] <auditor> cfhowlett : sudo nmcli respond by printing connecyion details, hmm.. the network manager is actuall the system settign window with network selected , any clue?
[05:50] <subcool> cfhowlett, so it just fniished install- now on reboot.. lets see how it goes :)
[05:50] <cfhowlett> subcool: good luck.  see you soon.
[05:51] <subcool> nah-
[05:51] <subcool> didnt really work
[05:51] <cfhowlett> auditor: sorry.  time to you to hit the man pages for nm and nmcli.
[05:51] <cfhowlett> subcool: details
[05:51] <subcool> it booted into the old bootloder...
[05:51] <qichao> any one here?
[05:51] <subcool> i guess that is ok- i just have to add it to this bootloader right?
[05:51] <cfhowlett> subcool: did you direct where the bootloader should go?
[05:51] <Jordan_U> rogan2: I don't see anything helpful there. For the screen problem can you pastebin the output of "xrandr"
[05:51] <subcool> yea
[05:52] <cfhowlett> subcool: only guess here that the new bootloader found and chained the old bootloader.  Does the system start?
[05:52] <Jordan_U> subcool: Where did you install grub's boot sector?
[05:52] <subcool> the computer turns ON- but i only see my old ubuntu grub,
[05:52] <auditor> cfhowlett : ok :) will come back after trying k
[05:53] <subcool> Jordan_U, didnt really give me an option
[05:53] <subcool> should i load up ubuntu and "fix" grub? or just update it?
[05:53] <cfhowlett> subcool: does ubuntu boot at all?
[05:54] <Jordan_U> subcool: You just said that you did "direct where the bootloader shoild go".
[05:54] <cfhowlett> or windows for that matter
[05:54] <subcool> the grub is v. 1.99
[05:54] <rogan2> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1120880/
[05:54] <subcool> Jordan_U, i directed it to sda- but- aside fromt hat..
[05:55] <Jordan_U> subcool: Ok. Are you sure that your BIOS is booting from sda?
[05:55] <subcool> Jordan_U, i have no clue where my bios is booting from- lol
[05:55] <subcool> i have three drives in there..
[05:56] <subcool> i could change the boot order to see if it changes antying..
[05:56] <subcool> i thought the new bootloader would have taken precidence
[05:56] <Jordan_U> subcool: Try changing the boot order, or configure grub to install to all drives. Either should work.
[05:57] <soulstitchmmo> What is the point of empathy?
[05:57] <subcool> cfhowlett, i got the original ubuntu up.
[05:57] <subcool> but my network appears to be astray again..
[05:57] <subcool> im going to reboot and chagne the boot order...
[05:57] <Jordan_U> subcool: BIOS doesn't work that way. Nothing the OS does can change which drive the BIOS tries to boot first.
[05:58] <soulstitchmmo> What is that Evnvelope up in the upper right hand corner called?
[06:00] <subcool> well- that appeared to do soemthing..
[06:00] <subcool> im quite confused- and believe i have to fix this- but i guess we made progress. thanks a lot for the help
[06:01] <soulstitchmmo> What is the envelop with the messenger in it and other social media called at the top near the clock?
[06:01] <subcool> I booted from the HD i installed kubuntu, it appeared to have found the other versions i have on the drives? but when it auto started on what i thought was the old drive, brought me into the NEW DRIVE.
[06:01] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: right click and check the properties or "about"
[06:01] <cfhowlett> subcool: good luck.
[06:02] <gaelfx> cfhowlett: not in 12.04
[06:02] <soulstitchmmo> cfhowlett: there are no properties to click
[06:03] <vectorshelve> can anyone help me with the installation of webex Meeting center app for ubuntu 12.04 ?
[06:03] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: you could run a search for the word "applet" on your /usr folder I think and it would tell you what applets you have, should be easy enough to figure out which is which
[06:03] <soulstitchmmo> it comes default in ubuntu, you guys honestly don't know what it's called?
[06:04] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: follow gaelfx's method and you'll find out for yourself ...
[06:06] <subcool> Ok- well. im in Kubuntu- but .. i have no internet. I am plugged in via ethernet..
[06:06] <obelus> I asked earlier, but I think it's been long enough to try again, my Samba server is denying write access from remote clients, I've tried with write list, and currently have writeable=yes, read only = no
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> vectorshelve: https://linuxsagas.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/webex-working-again-in-ubuntu-9-10-64bit/
[06:07] <soulstitchmmo> I read through the apps, and I still don't know which it is. Can someone tell me what the name of the program that has the envelope icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen?
[06:07] <subcool> the network manager sees the connection.. and states the last conenction was an hour ago- but... im not connected...
[06:07] <subcool> and according to ifconfig - i do not have IP
[06:08] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: "indicator plugin" if I'm not mistaken
[06:08] <soulstitchmmo> that's not coming up in the software center. I want to read to see what it does because I never use it and if it's not useful I want to remove it.
[06:09] <vectorshelve> ActionParsnip: thanks mate but mine is 32 bit and ubuntu 12.04 ?
[06:09] <obelus> soulstitchmmo: isn't it Empathy?
[06:09] <cfhowlett> soulstitchmmo: indicator app won't appear in the software center as it's integrated in the OS, NOT an add-on.  You can turn it off, but think long and hard about removal
[06:09] <soulstitchmmo> I removed empathy but that envelop is still there.
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> vectorshelve: should still apply
[06:10] <vectorshelve> ActionParsnip: thanks mate ;)
[06:12] <User98541> Is it possible to disable USB Flash drives, but not USB Keyboard/Mouse?
[06:13] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: it's part of ubuntu-desktop, and I think indicator applet is the name, or at least close to the name
[06:13] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: a lot of things don't show up in software center, you need to try synaptic
[06:14] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: also, removing it will mean you would have to remove ubuntu-desktop meta-package, and it's probably only a couple hundred KB
[06:14] <iceroot> User98541: you can stop the auro-mounting of extra partitions like usb flashdrives so only root-users can mount it by hand
[06:14] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: if you don't want it to show up, then you can probably just remove the .desktop file for it
[06:15] <User98541> iceroot, how do I do that?
[06:15] <noob_> hi people
[06:15] <iceroot> User98541: i dont know, never did that
[06:15] <noob_> есть кто из рашки?
[06:15] <cfhowlett> !ur|noob_
[06:15] <cfhowlett> !ru|noob_
[06:15] <gaelfx> !ru > noob_
[06:15] <User98541> okay, thanks, ill search that.
[06:16] <iperich> Hi, I have a Logitech For Notebook Deluxe webcam working in a HP530 notebook, with Ubuntu 12.04, the webcam works OK in cheese and skype, but in Chrome and Firefox (flash 11 plugin) it only shows a green screen, I think it is probably a flash plugin issue... any thoughts?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> iperich: did you allow flash access to the webcam?
[06:17] <iperich> yes, in fact the green screen shows when i give the access to flash ("allow" button)
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> iperich: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> iperich: thanks
[06:19] <Kartagis> what could the reason that suddenly all people turned blue in youtube videos? on windows it's fine
[06:19] <iperich> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1120906/
[06:19] <gaelfx> Kartagis: I believe that's a known bug with flash on linux
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: windows is a completely differet OS with different support so what it does isn't terribly valuable
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis:did you install flash from web or software centre?
[06:20] <Kartagis> gaelfx: I tried with both chromium and firefox
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null
[06:20] <subcool> why the hell does ubuntu release stuff thats NOT ready to be released
[06:21] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: I think so, yes
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis:lol wich one?
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> subcool: what do you mean?
[06:21] <subcool> cfhowlett, thanks for the help -but it appears it was a waste of our time.
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> iperich: if you remove flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound and enable the partner repo, then install the adobe-flashplugin package, is it ok?
[06:21] <subcool> 12.04 has massive ntworking issues..
[06:21] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: oh sorry, software centre
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: the command I gave will fix it
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> subcool: what kinda issues?
[06:22] <Dayofswords> does anyone know a way to take a video file and extract PNG images from each frame? i think it's imagemagick or something that does that but i cant remember...
[06:22] <cfhowlett> subcool: sorry I couldn't be more helpful.  FWIW, multi-disk would seem to be a raid thing ...
[06:22] <subcool> cfhowlett, no- u were of help. ubuntu 12.04 isnt ready to be used.. thats all
[06:22] <soulstitchmmo> thanks gaelfx
[06:22] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: back in the day, ffmepg would be your route, but now it's avconv or some such.  command line.
[06:22] <iperich> ActionParsnip: let me try  that, i'll tell you
[06:23] <subcool> lotuspsychje, i am plugged in via ethernet- network manager sees the connects, and records the fact that it exist, but it doesnt connect
[06:23] <SwedeMike> subcool: I think it depends on what hw you have, I am running 12.04 on multiple devices and some are rock solid, some have wifi issues, you might have another issue.
[06:23] <subcool> i have no ip
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Dayofswords: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/extract-images-from-video-or-create.html
[06:23] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: perhaps gimp has an option
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> subcool: maybe you are the one to tweak the network..its easy to blame ubuntu
[06:23] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: do I need to log out/in?
[06:23] <subcool> lotuspsychje, fresh install?
[06:23] <subcool> nothing to be tweaked
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: no just kill all browsers and rerun
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Dayofswords: source: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+extract+images+from+video
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> subcool: did you install network card drivers correctly?
[06:24] <soulstitchmmo> ok I want to delete indicator-application.desktop but it won't let me. Is there a keyboard short cut or something or do I have to go to terminal?
[06:24] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: because it doesn't seem to have worked
[06:24] <subcool> lotuspsychje, no network to install the stuff..
[06:24] <subcool> ill just browse through additional drivers and.. ...?
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> subcool: try adding the cdrom as source in software centre and find your network drivers
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: you need to play with the mms.cfg file, til you get an ok image
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> soulstitchmmo: prefix the command with sudo and you can do as you please
[06:25] <soulstitchmmo> ActionParsnip: I know that, but is there a way to do it from the desktop or do I need to go to terminal?
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> subcool: in windows a fresh install needs even more drivers installed..
[06:25] <gr33nion_> hello every one
[06:25] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: no problem
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> soulstitchmmo: you can run:  gksudo nautilus $HOME     and do it in GUI if you want
[06:26] <cfhowlett> gr33nion_: greetings
[06:26] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: where are you trying to delete it from?
[06:26] <soulstitchmmo> gaelfx: from the browser window.
[06:27] <soulstitchmmo> gaelfx: I know I can do it from terminal, but I hear people talk about how Ubuntu is all point and click, so I am wondering if I am doign stuff wrong.
[06:27] <gr33nion_> [A
[06:27] <gr33nion_> [A
[06:27] <gr33nion_> [A
[06:27] <gr33nion_> [A
[06:27] <FloodBot1> gr33nion_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:28] <gr33nion_> soz i was trying to compy and past something heeps
[06:28] <gr33nion_> hello
[06:29] <cfhowlett> gr33nion_: state your issue
[06:29] <subcool> lotuspsychje, imma give it a whirl now- thanks..
[06:30] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: what I meant was from which path? Where is the desktop file on the filesystem? You probably need to use a terminal either way, but once you decide to use the terminal you can just start a file manager with root priveleges so it will be point and click, though I'm not a fan of that method since it makes it easy to delete things you don't really want to delete
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> subcool: ok good luck, try to findout wich network driver u got
[06:30] <subcool> ya- im on it now
[06:30] <soulstitchmmo>  gaelfx it was a .desktop in /usr/share/applications and if I have to open a terminal anyways then I would rather just do it in the terminal myself.
[06:30] <subcool> Hey GUys.. i have a question- NOT related.. i know- but hear me out.
[06:31] <iperich> ActionParsnip: i installed the partner repo and the flashplugin-installer from there and the problem remains... maybe a bug?
[06:31] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: what I would do is "sudo rm $filepath/$filename", but that's me :P
[06:31] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: do facebook and chromium use different flash? because it looks fine on facebook
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis:did you try what ActionParsnip told you?
[06:32] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: to delete a file in terminal, use the 'rm' command, but for that file you'll need 'sudo' in front of it, which asks for your password. It's a good idea to read "man rm" before you do it though, as there might be options you would want to use
[06:32] <Kartagis> yes, it didn't work
[06:32] <soulstitchmmo> thanks gaelfx
[06:32] <fidel_> !rm > fidel_
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis: rebooted after?
[06:33] <gaelfx> soulstitchmmo: no problem. I had to remove an extra bluetooth applet recently that popped up when I installed lubuntu-desktop, so that's the only reason I had any idea how to help :P
[06:33] <Kartagis> no, he told me I didn't need
[06:33] <Kartagis> let me try anyway
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis: you could try uninstall the flash and reinstall from web maybe
[06:34] <subcool> My Girlfriend Ran into a friend of hers from HIghschool (a guy), the three of us were talking for hours. The guy is actually pretty cool. According to her they were best friends- but they just stopped talkng after highschool. SO while we are "catching up" the GUy made mulitple points to get me to seperate from their conversation and wait in the car- so that we could try to leave. But during those conversation, he decided to go
[06:34] <subcool>  out of his way and tell her how much he liked her in high school, and she was such a great girl. He'd liked her for years. He's soo happy he ran into her, etc. etc. Mind you- he told her this IN FRONT OF ME. In my opinoin obviously flirting, and since then. he makes sure to message her a few times a day. Trying to hang out constantly. Is this inappropraite?
[06:34] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: how do I find out what flash version I have?
[06:34] <subcool> sorry for the mass msg :/
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !ot | subcool
[06:35] <gaelfx> fidel_: for future reference, you can just "/msg ubottu" with questions
[06:36] <iperich> Kartagis: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> Kartagis:just goto adobe flash page to see if u got latest
[06:37] <fidel_> gaelfx: k - basically i was just checking if the rm factoid is helpful for the context
[06:37] <fidel_> before i send it to someone else ;)
[06:37] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: 11.2
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> kartagis: i would just try a reinstall from web, or other way around from software centre, does the trick sometimes
[06:38] <gaelfx> fidel_: that one is more a warning about the joke people used to like to play making people remove their entire filesystem
[06:39] <gaelfx> fidel_: I generally just tell people to read the manpage, since it gives you a good idea what sort of things you can really do with that command :D
[06:39] <Kartagis> lotuspsychje: hmm, I get this: If you are using the Google Chrome browser, Adobe® Flash® Player is built-in but has been disabled.
[06:42] <fidel_> gaelfx: yeah i tend to use man pages as well ..on the other side some users seem to start hating you if you link refer to man pages (whyever) hehe...anyway we/me is getting offtopic ;)
[06:49] <BUSTACAP> Is there a way for grep to delete a file after it's done searching it for a certain line of text if it doesn't find it?
[06:50] <gaelfx> BUSTACAP: sounds like a job for a script
[06:50] <gaelfx> BUSTACAP: and an excellent opportunity to learn some python, if you don't know it already
[06:51] <cfhowlett> BUSTACAP: yes.  scripts, my friend.
[06:52] <BUSTACAP> I don't know python, but basically I know the grep command to search through a folder of text files for a line that I'm searching for.
[06:52] <BUSTACAP> I just want the files deleted after if it doesn't find it o.O
[06:52] <Kartagis> *sigh* still blue
[06:53] <gaelfx> BUSTACAP: well, with a script, you can use that knowledge of grep pretty easily, as for doing it straight in one terminal command, I'm betting there's a way, but I have no idea what it is
[06:54] <BUSTACAP> Well yeah, a script would be good. I'm just not so good at bash scripting yet. Took me a while to get it to write the 2million files I'm searching through.
[06:54] <BUSTACAP> Just the problem is my power goes out a lot where I live, so since all the files are still there and it doesn't delete after it searches it, I may have to run the script again and again.
[06:55] <saruji> Hello, could anyone point me in the direction of supported wirelss cards?
[06:55] <saruji> like the Atheros AR5009
[06:55] <gaelfx> BUSTACAP: well, that's why I suggest you use python, since if you learn a little, you'll probably find lots of other times it will be useful
[06:55] <cfhowlett> saruji: "ubuntu hardware compatibility list"
[06:55] <BUSTACAP> gaelfx, ok. I'll look into it.
[06:56] <saruji> cfhowlett: thx
[06:57] <wachpwnski> why on earth is the usb live disc so slow?
[06:57] <cfhowlett> saruji: good luck.  have fun.
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> wachpwnski:maybe its your pc that is slow?
[06:57] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: speed is at least partially limited by available ram...
[06:57] <Ben64> usb drives are usually slow too
[06:57] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: not to mention gpu
[06:57] <wachpwnski> I have 12gb of g.skill ram
[06:58] <wachpwnski> and a 3gb video card
[06:58] <gaelfx> dang, didn't even get a chance to tell him to go to #python if he needs help
[06:58] <wachpwnski> Is there anyway I can just do a system specific install on a usb device?
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> wachpwnski:define specific?
[06:59] <gaelfx> wachpwnski: yes, you can do a full install on a sufficiently large USB drive, it's how my mainbox runs
[06:59] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: customized to certain specs?  sure.
[06:59] <wachpwnski> Do I have to format the usb device first?
[07:00] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: for best results, yes
[07:00] <wachpwnski> I have a 16gb disk
[07:00] <wachpwnski> That should be sizable enough right?
[07:00] <Starshaft> Hello
[07:00] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: more than enough ...
[07:00] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: greetings
[07:00] <Starshaft> Can i ask someone a question?
[07:00] <wachpwnski> Yes, but you just wasted it.
[07:00] <wachpwnski> haha
[07:00] <cfhowlett> !ask|Starshaft:
[07:01] <wachpwnski> If I boot from the usb, can I then install to the usb?
[07:01] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: nope
[07:01] <wachpwnski> I have to install from the CD then?
[07:02] <cfhowlett> wachpwnski: or a different usb
[07:03] <gaelfx> wachpwnski: a different USB would work as well, though that one doesn't need to be so large ;)
[07:03]  * gaelfx is generally too late
[07:03] <Starshaft> Here it goes, i'm running a dual, windows 7, and ubuntu 12.04, and my internet for ubuntu isn't working. My network card is a  Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030, when log on to ubuntu the internet works for a couple of seconds (enoguh to load a page) then cuts out complety even though its still connected.
[07:03] <Starshaft> would appreciate some help
[07:04] <zzats> Starshaft: have you taken a look of the output of dmesg?
[07:04] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: so it works just fine when in Win7??
[07:04] <JordanK> Starshaft, mine did that too for some reason. I just went out and bought a long ethernet cable to fix my problem. Avoid wireless :P
[07:04] <Starshaft> yupe it works fine for win7
[07:05] <JordanK> I tried everything to fix it.
[07:05] <Starshaft> on it as we speak
[07:05] <JordanK> Tried using ndiswrapper to use the windows wireless drivers and it made it worse.
[07:05] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: listen to the jordank.  Great wisdom he has.
[07:05] <Starshaft> how do i look at the dmesg output?
[07:05] <Starshaft> the problem is, im very portable.
[07:06] <Starshaft> i need ubuntu working on the go
[07:06] <JordanK> It seems like the usb wireless adapters have problems with ubuntu.
[07:06] <JordanK> The built in wifi usually works perfect.
[07:06] <JordanK> Strange.
[07:06] <Starshaft> i installed ubuntu a year ago
[07:06] <Starshaft> and it worked fine..
[07:06] <Starshaft> maybe less than a year
[07:07] <JordanK> Me too on the older versions I had no problems.
[07:07] <Starshaft> but doing a fresh install without duel boot
[07:07] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: you're on 12.04??
[07:07] <JordanK> But just recently installed again and had a problem.
[07:07] <zzats> Starshaft: did you take a look at dmesg -output?
[07:07] <Starshaft> yes im on 12.04
[07:08] <susundberg> Starshaft: pastebing your device id with 'lspci'
[07:09] <JordanK> susundberg, you mean lsusb?
[07:11] <Starshaft> i might just install 11.10
[07:11] <Starshaft> see how that works out
[07:11] <JordanK> My wifi worked back then.
[07:11] <JordanK> You should be fine with that.
[07:11] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: allow me to advise against.  Best bet is to stick with LTS release, i.e. 10.04
[07:12] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: and it's supported until 13.04
[07:12] <Starshaft> ok thanks cfhowlett, i'll try that
[07:12] <Starshaft> and thanks JordanK
[07:12] <JordanK> Np.
[07:13] <cfhowlett> Starshaft: good luck.  have fun.
[07:13] <Starshaft> as of now, just searching up some documantion to learn the terminal mumbo jumbo :p
[07:13] <Starshaft> pretty new to ubuntu
[07:14] <gaelfx> JordanK: Intel N-1030 is an internal card
[07:14] <JordanK> gaelfx, oh. hmm.
[07:14] <gaelfx> JordanK: sorry, I need to scroll down before responding to things :P
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> howcome pysdm resets user permission next boot?
[07:15] <saruji> what is it about linux that makes it easy or more flexible for programming?  Just saying that I can get eclipse on windows also...?
[07:15] <gaelfx> saruji: Linux uses less RAM, so is easier to run more VMs in it for testing on multiple platforms
[07:15] <fidel_> saruji: another aspect is package-management
[07:16] <fidel_> it should make updating your dev environment less time-consuming
[07:16] <fidel_> as you get almost all updates via apt
[07:16] <wachpwnski> stinks when I don't have a cdrom drive
[07:16] <wachpwnski> or a spare usb thumby
[07:16] <saruji> gaelfx: is that really a good solution...also do other platforms run better through VM's on linux...like virtualbox?
[07:16] <wachpwnski> haha
[07:16] <fidel_> thats a real timesaver on a long term view
[07:16] <JordanK> Is there any program like cdma workshop, or qpst for ubuntu without using wine?
[07:16] <saruji> fidel_: could you explain I am not sure what you meant, package-management?
[07:17] <fidel_> saruji: do you know apt?
[07:17] <gaelfx> saruji: I'm not sure what you mean by running better, but the solution is an often used one, so it must not be too bad
[07:17] <saruji> fidel_: sort of, it initiates my packages to update via apt-get update or install
[07:18] <saruji> gaelfx: guess my question is if virtualbox or vmware runs better on linux/ubuntu instead of windows or mac
[07:18] <fidel_> saruji: well - now compare that with updating your entire windows-development system which will take way more time - and user interaction. thats 1 aspect how i save time using linux compared to other systems
[07:18] <saruji> gaelfx: better by faster
[07:19] <saruji> gaelfx: better by less problems
[07:19] <gaelfx> saruji: I've never used virtualization solutions on other platforms, so I really don't know
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> saruji:faster depends on what actual hd, cpu, ram
[07:19] <saruji> fidel_: sweet thanks :)
[07:19] <nomad99> saruji: plus file system fragmentation really isn't an issue like windows
[07:19] <saruji> lotuspsychje: which is more efficient, or is that a legit question to ask here?
[07:20] <gaelfx> nomad99: good point :D
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> saruji: i would go for ubuntu 64 bit on an ssd, good cpu and many rams, and you are good to go
[07:22] <saruji> lotuspsychje: great, should I focus on a CPU with better virtualization instructions?  is the intel solution a good one?  Intel-virtualization?
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> saruji: if you need hardware hints for faster system, join ##hardware aswell
[07:22] <saruji> lotuspsychje: awesome there
[07:22] <gaelfx> saruji: I could be wrong, but I think most people use Intel for virtualization, AMD tends to lag behind them in functionality in that respect
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> saruji: any system or brand, if you run ubuntu on it wise would be fast
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> saruji: i run ubuntu 64 bit on ssd myself, i never found any Os faster and easy so far, that does what i need
[07:25] <bas> Hello There, I am new to irc & just occasional ubuntu user. I have a problem regarding gstreamer/glib/ubuntu10.10/matterhorn.
[07:25] <bas> Am I right here?
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> bas: ask your question mate
[07:26] <wachpwnski> Does anyone have a tutorial on how to install ubuntu to a bootable usb
[07:27] <DJones> !install | wachpwnski
[07:27] <wachpwnski> And not as a live usb?
[07:27] <supersalope> hello my friend
[07:27] <MonkeyDust> wachpwnski  that's called a persistent install
[07:27] <DJones> wachpwnski: That last link may have something along those line
[07:28] <pasio> hi @ all
[07:28] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: I think he wants to do an actual full install
[07:29] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: squashfs tends to be a lot slower that a real install on USB
[07:29] <pasio> its here sombody from germany
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> howcome pysdm resets all my mounting values on next reboot as 'only mount read & write'?
[07:30] <bas> Okay: Here I go: I try to get Matterhorn with a BlackMagic Incard to run. I had the blackmagic intensity Pro running in 12.04 but Matterhorn requires Ubuntu 10.10 for the capture client to run. So I installed 10.10. But unfortunately the gstreamer plugin "decklink" for the blackmagic card doesn't seem to be available. Now I tried (in my foolishness) to compile gstreamer plugins from sources but it seems to require glib 31.14 (also not
[07:30] <bas> available on 10.10) ... and now I am in kind of a deadend...
[07:30] <gaelfx> !de > pasio
[07:31] <fidel_> !info matterhorn
[07:31] <ThinkT510> bas: 10.10 is no longer supported
[07:31] <cfhowlett> bas: end of life
[07:32] <bas> So: I am out of options?
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> bas:upgrade :p
[07:32] <bas> If I upgrade Matterhorn won't run.
[07:32] <cfhowlett> bas: 10.04 is supported until 04/2013.
[07:33] <gaelfx> what program uses the hamster-applet.png in /usr/share/app-install/icons?
[07:33] <Fusion_> How do you stop Xfce. stopping gdm is simple as sudo stop gdm
[07:33] <fidel_> gaelfx: i thought (random guess without checking the icon itself) the master timetracker
[07:33] <fidel_> *hamster timetracker*
[07:34] <bas> cfhowlett: does 10.04 have support for the gstreamer decklink plugin?
[07:34] <cfhowlett> bas: don't know.  how to find out?  install virtualbox, install 10.04 and try
[07:35] <gaelfx> fidel_: is that installed by default? cause nothing shows up in dash when I type hamster
[07:36] <ThinkT510> bas: what does matterhorn do?
[07:37] <bas> ThinkT510: Matterhorn is a lecture capture and streaming solution http://opencast.org/matterhorn/
[07:37] <fidel_> gaelfx: the gui app i relate with it is started using: hamster-time-tracker ...not sure if its part of the default ubuntu apps or not
[07:37] <timfrost> !info hamster-applet
[07:37] <fidel_> thn there is hamster-indicator, hamster,service and hamster-cli
[07:37] <gaelfx> fidel_: timfrost thanks :D
[07:38] <fidel_> np ;)
[07:38] <obakfahad> Hi everyone .
[07:38] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows why pysdm resets mounting options at boot?
[07:38] <nilsma> How do i turn off the screensaver thingy in KDE? System Settings > Display & Monitor > Start automatically is unchecked, and no options checked in System Settings > Energy Saving Settings ... still the monitor blanks out after about 1 minute. Anyone know how i disable it?
[07:39] <ThinkT510> bas: http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Install+Source+Linux+v1.3
[07:39] <obakfahad> Anyone here using ubuntu unity (original ubuntu DE) ?
[07:39] <ThinkT510> bas: they suggest 10.04
[07:39] <DJones> obakfahad: I would think a lot of people are
[07:39] <fidel_> !anyone > obakfahad
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> !unity
[07:40] <fidel_> and yeah you can assume some of the 1,5k users inhere are using the default DE ;)
[07:40] <bas> ThinkT510: ouch and there I thought 10.10 is better than 10.04 ;)
[07:41] <ThinkT510> !lts | bas
[07:41] <obakfahad> why every time it logout when i click shutdown ?
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> is there anything more lightweight then lubuntu-desktop for ubuntu?
[07:41] <cfhowlett> bas: unless you really NEED the latest, greatest shiny stuff, I suggest you adopt an LTS only policy.
[07:41] <gaelfx> bas: the instructions on matterhorns source download page say to install on 10.04 LTS
[07:41] <gaelfx> bas: http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Install+Source+Linux+v1.3
[07:42] <MonkeyDust> obakfahad  in a terminal, type sudo shutdown -r now and that should solve it
[07:42] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: a commandline environment :)
[07:42] <fidel_> lotuspsychje: maybe fluxbox? havent checked that for years to be honest
[07:42] <obakfahad> But why doesn't this problem still occuriing as there i got many updates in 12.04 ? MonkeyDust ?
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: lol i mean like a real old laptop, running even not flawless on lubuntu..
[07:42] <bas> gaelfx: ThinkT510: I am trying 10.04
[07:43] <obakfahad> I know how to from terminal but that is not the solution .

[07:56] <AdvoWork> hi there, ive got an external USB hd that isn't being detected, any idea how I can get it back/fix it? it was for use on windows, and in windows if i put it in, it says Format first.. theres loads of stuff on there so god knows whats going on, and i was hoping i could use my ubuntu box to resolve it?
[07:57] <ThinkT510> AdvoWork: sure it wasn't wiped?
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> AdvoWork: is your usb formatted within win7?
[07:58] <ThinkT510> AdvoWork: windows would usually only suggest to format it if it was blank
[07:59] <ThinkT510> AdvoWork: plug it in and run gparted, see what that detects (i suspect no filesystem)

[08:08] <canobi> Hey all. A quick one - my displayport is not working in precise, but does on fedora 17. I suppose it's xorg 1.12 that I need, and tried to install it from x swat lts backports repo. The problem is I don't know how - if I try to install xorg-server-lts-backports it tries to uninstall all of the desktop components I have (kde). Any way I can install it without affecting the rest? BTW, not running pure precise, but rather mint KDE.
[08:09] <ThinkT510> !mint | canobi
[08:10] <canobi> I know that Think, was just looking for "official" ubuntu procedure to install those packages.
[08:11] <ThinkT510> !backports
[08:11] <ThinkT510> canobi: if you aren't running ubuntu expect things to go bad
[08:11] <ThinkT510> canobi: those pages are written with ubuntu in mind
[08:13] <bas> cfhowlett:Do you know how to give a virtualbox image access to the pcie slot (i guess thats impossible)
[08:13] <ThinkT510> bas: #vbox would know the answer (i suspect you are right)
[08:14] <canobi> Think510: Yes, that's why I'm careful. Thanks for the backports link, now I know the general direction to take my further research - I'll see what mint'ers say about using ubuntu backports.
[08:16] <petero> anyone have experience with the thinkpad t510 and the broadband adapter ? To use it i have to boot Windows , turn it on , reboot to ubuntu and then the adapter is visible. After a shutdown it's gone and have to do same procedure again :(
[08:17] <smartboyhw> Please join the Ubuntu QA Meeting tomorrow at 1400 UTC at #ubuntu-meeting
[08:17] <ThinkT510> petero: sorry, i've never used a broadband adapter
[08:18] <islandmonkey> Unless you mean a wireless adapter
[08:18] <ThinkT510> petero: i'm guessing you mean a usb dongle thing
[08:18] <petero> ThinkT510: Wireless works ok , except when do large file transfers ( reported a bug for that )
[08:18] <timfrost> canobi: mixing ubuntu and mint repositories will cause clashes, because of different dependencies (as you have found).  The same applies for mixing any two distributions, so adding a debian repository to either mint or ubuntu can cause problems
[08:19] <wachpwnski> If you install to usb
[08:19] <wachpwnski> do you need to format to fat32?
[08:19] <bas> ThinkT510: Well ... then I am off to reinstall ubuntu
[08:19] <wachpwnski> Or can you use ext2? Seems like the install is locking on me
[08:19] <ThinkT510> bas: enjoy

[08:25] <canobi> timfrost: Thanks, however, if you understand what each package provides and needs, you could possibly, and carefully, install them without causing havoc. That's my aim here, if I can manage it. But now I'm certain there is no quick and easy way to do it.

[08:40] <PhilW> Hi, are there any known issues with TPLink 150Mbps wifi card?
[08:40] <tom_ilsinszki_> fidel_: I installed Oracle Java JDK. So when I tried to install tomcat via apt-get it wanted to install openjdk, but I don't wanna use that...
[08:41] <PhilW> on the current version, seems to lock up solid once it connects to wifi router
[08:41] <fidel_> PhilW: i guess its the wrong place to ask - give ##hardware a chance as well ;)
[08:41] <timfrost> canobi: you have no guaranteed safe solution if a repository for another distribution is configured, because of package versions and dependencies.  Far safer to just download the package and install it with dpkg
[08:41] <PhilW> ok thanks
[08:42] <canobi> tom_ilsinszki: Usually you would install it according to LSB standards, probably into /usr/share/tomcat, but your best bet is to see where the official package puts the files (without actually installing), and replicate that setup.
[08:42] <raven> how to exec a command at user-login? any file like rc.local for userland? need to mount sshfs automatically
[08:43] <tom_ilsinszki_> canobi: cool, thx. I'll google around to see where apache ends up after installation.
[08:44] <canobi> timfrost: That's what I did with kernel 3.5 from x swat backports, and it worked. So I thought xorg might be more of the same, unfortunately they're quite a bit more dependency-locked with the rest of the mint system.
[08:45] <timfrost> raven: ~/.profile is probably the best place. That script is processed by a login shell.  I am not sure where in the X login process it is processed
[08:47] <raven> timfrost is it executed at login or by opening a shell?
[08:48] <timfrost> raven: the login shell runs .profile automatically
[08:48] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:49] <cristian_c> I've installed easy-deb with virtualenv
[08:49] <raven> timfrost ok but ii wont execute everytime i open xterm or gnome-terminal?
[08:50] <timfrost> canobi: that is the issue - if it is a single package, then you are OK. If it is a suite of packages, as with the X server, then you hit problems with dependencies and conflicts
[08:50] <cristian_c> I would like it in the same manner of checkinstall, to make deb to install or uninstall
[08:50] <cristian_c> *debs
[08:50] <cristian_c> for python applications
[08:51] <cristian_c> I've found an example-tutorial
[08:52] <cristian_c> but I don't know how to adjust the following command:
[08:52] <cristian_c> easy-deb -v2.4 -d python-pypi-delegate -D /tmp graph
[08:52] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:53] <timfrost> raven: no.  There is a separate file (~/.bashrc) that sets up the environment for a new terminal session. .profile is supposed to be for a 'login shell'
[08:54] <L3top> raven you can write a script and put it in /etc/init.d  and run update-rc.d myscript defaults     and it will do what you want. You need to read some other headers in there and get a feel for how that header file works in order to make sure prerequisite services are installed. This is the depreciated method, and you should learn to use upstart jobs... however this way is easiest.
[08:54] <canobi> tom_ilsinszki: If you want to keep your setup simple though, and plan on running more manually installed java software, I suggest you make a top level directory for all java, and just unpack everything in there. E.g. make a directory /java and let tomcat unpack itself there. Or perhaps assign a whole partition under /mnt/java - it's often much easier to manually manage it because java app servers are not that flexible out of the box and are usually assuming
[08:56] <timfrost> L3top: raven wants to set up sshfs on user login.  That isn't at computer startup
[08:56] <L3top> timfrost: I missed that sorry... raven ignore that.
[09:00] <WallFace> Need some help in first thing to install when I install ubuntu, the drivers and everything so I can surf web and burn shit.
[09:00] <Ztane> asus eeepc 1215n: why my touchpad gets disabled when I login to unity, I have *disabled* "disable touchpad while typing" because ubuntu could not reenable it anymore
[09:00] <chu> WallFace: Please watch your language in this channel, thank you.
[09:00] <Ztane> but still, now today after 2 relogins, still no touchpad...
[09:00] <timfrost> raven: If you want to unmount the sshfs filesystem at logout, that is harder, because graphical logout and terminal logout don't process the same files.  You also need to handle the case of  logging in/out to both a terminal session and the X session, so that the sshfs is available as long as you are logged in to either
[09:02] <raven> timfrost ok so i have to go the way with .config/autostart and connect a script via scrip.desktop?
[09:02] <Ztane> and the touchpad DID work in x login screen
[09:03] <WallFace> Need some help in first thing to install when I install ubuntu, the drivers and everything so I can surf web and burn stuff
[09:04] <timfrost> !sshfs | raven
[09:04] <iceroot> Ztane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Touchpad_not_working_after_login
[09:04] <Jan_> Hello i am unable to ping any local lan ip from my server, when looking at arp -a its completly emtpy, i also cant reach my server from any pc in the network
[09:06] <Ztane> iceroot: nope
[09:06] <Scud> hi im still debugging a weird sound problem, and though someone here might have an idea. since yesterday whenever i just a voice chat program (skype, mumble, teamspeak) other users can hear all sound from every running applications (even their own through the voice program, like if i'd use speakers). if anyone has an idea let me know, im using ubuntu 1.04 with a sb xfi, which was working...
[09:06] <Scud> ...beautifully up until yesterday
[09:06] <Ztane> hmm
[09:06] <Ztane> worked with the enable key wtf :D
[09:06] <timfrost> raven: I am not sure.  That help page is probably the best guide
[09:06] <bray0> hey
[09:06] <bray0> whassssup
[09:06] <bray0> the new ubuntu 12.04 sucs ass
[09:06] <Ztane> worse than failure that is :D
[09:06] <nlko> hi, i have uploaded a gpg key to ubunutu key servers, i no longer use that one, although i still have the passphrase and private key, can i remove it?
[09:07] <Ztane> that did not work ever before, and why does not the login screen obey that
[09:07] <raven> ok tnx
[09:08] <smartboyhw> I think so...For gpg keys, remove it in Passwords and Keys
[09:09] <rajumoh> raven: does each user that logs in has a uniq username and a uniq mount point on ssh ?
[09:09] <raven> rajumoh yes
[09:11] <rajumoh> raven: well then you can let the users mount the sshfs things using there .bashrc file and for unmounting sshfs u can rite a cron job to do umount for logged out users ever 10 mins or so
[09:12] <raven> rajumoh but bashrc will be executed everytime i start a terminal emulator
[09:12] <llutz> raven: just check for mounted sshfs (if not mounted then mount....)
[09:14] <llutz> raven: mount|grep yoursshfs-mountpoint || sshfs....
[09:15] <timfrost> smartboyhw: what nlko wanted to do was to remove the key from the key servers, which isn't possible.
[09:16] <rajumoh> raven: as llutz said
[09:16] <impi> my laptop gpu fan sounds like a boing 747 about to take off.
[09:16] <rajumoh> ha ha ha
[09:16] <impi> im in a office filled with developers, and everyone is looking at my laptop hissing away
[09:17] <rajumoh> impi: which gpu ?
[09:17] <impi> what graphichs intensive programs am i running at the moment? uhm, gedit and firefox..
[09:17] <impi> nvidia geforce 315M
[09:17] <impi> i've got the latest drivers from nvidia, but i see some guys suggest i must set my hardware options for toshiba in the kernel
[09:17] <WallFace> What are some package download commands
[09:17] <WallFace> ?
[09:18] <impi> load average: 1.31, 1.35, 1.28
[09:18] <impi> NVIDIA Driver Version: 295.59
[09:18] <rajumoh> impi: well do have intel graphics integrated also on that sys ?
[09:19] <timfrost> WallFace: what are you trying to do?
[09:19] <impi> im not sure, i dont think so, i have a toshiba satellite c660 -1q9
[09:19] <WallFace> kind of urgent, need to know what commands. um
[09:19] <WallFace> timfrost: it's a command package for media I think
[09:19] <WallFace> and a host of other stuff
[09:19] <WallFace> in root I think, It's been a while since ubuntu
[09:20] <WallFace> It's a command package, there's 2 packages and only need one for media stuff.
[09:21] <WallFace> I remember, keep everything in one sentence.
[09:21] <rajumoh> impi: i just had a look at the gpu specs, it says it uses NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology1, so chances are u have a integrated intel chip, inter ix generation stuff. so to reduce the sound you can basically switch off the nvidia gpu using the some program like acpi_call, or if u alread y have bumblebee/ironhide project installed then u can switch off using that
[09:22] <timfrost> WallFace: if the software is in a configured repository, then 'sudo apt-get install <package> ....', but if you have the .deb, then 'dpkg  -i <deb file>'
[09:22] <WallFace> restricted areas
[09:22] <WallFace> that's what it was
[09:22] <WallFace> I don't know the code for it
[09:33] <harem> hello #ubuntu!
[09:33] <lcabreza1> hi harem
[09:34] <harem> the reason why ubuntu 12 precise pangolin is still so buggy is that it's a new version still or that the developers are not working well enough?
[09:35] <shaq_> Harem they are working on a lot of bugs, and remember that some of the developers do work for free. They don't usually have deadlines
[09:35] <harem> because I would have preferred using ubuntu 10.10, which was nearly perfect...
[09:35] <harem> ok, shaq_
[09:36] <lcabreza1> i would say 10.04 instead
[09:36] <harem> uh
[09:36] <lcabreza1> i'm using 12.04 on my laptop .it works great ...i've been doing a lot of tweaks from different resources ..
[09:36] <lcabreza1> harem: i've disabled unity and uses the same interface as 10.10 and 10.04 ..
[09:36] <shaq_> lcabreza1, same here. I've got a lot of tweaks, i encountered a bug and posted a fix tho :)
[09:37] <harem> lcabreza1 me too! :)
[09:37] <shaq_> Anyone able to help me with this please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2035695
[09:37] <Scud> hmm my problem seems to be that all output device are also recognized as input devices, any1 have a pointer how to remove those "wrong devices"?
[09:37] <shaq_> Scud, try finding the drivers and installing them. That may help
[09:38] <Scud> well i havet change the drivers an the sound is working fine, i just dont want all output audio streams to be combined with the input stream
[09:38] <Scud> *havent
[09:38] <harem> sorry shaq_, atm I did not do anything with wine
[09:39] <harem> by the way, is kubuntu the same as ubuntu only with KDE instead of Gnome?
[09:39] <DJones> harem: Yes
[09:40] <harem> and what about xubuntu?
[09:40] <DJones> !xubuntu
[09:40] <Scud> XFCE instead of GNOME
[09:40] <harem> wow
[09:40] <primefalcon> harem, you can install other desktops by say running sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or even just sudo apt-get install xfce
[09:40] <harem> never really saw an XFCE desktop environment :)
[09:40] <harem> and nice bot!
[09:41] <harem> oh, that's great primefalcon!
[09:41] <Scud> xfce is nice imo... used it for years
[09:41] <DJones> harem: There's also Lubuntu which uses LXDE as its desktop environment
[09:41] <harem> that's exactly what I was thinking to do :)
[09:41] <Scud> speacially on older hardware
[09:41] <harem> and it's lighter, I heard
[09:41] <harem> wow guys
[09:41] <primefalcon> harem, you can also have multiple desktops installed no issue, I have around 10 atm, then you just choose which you want at boot
[09:42] <harem> you're making grow my curiosity towards XFCE/LXDE/KDE :)
[09:43] <harem> primefalcon, that I would never expect!! That's great!
[09:43] <harem> so all I need to do is sudo apt-get install xfce lxde kde?
[09:43] <primefalcon> I run lxde, kde,xfce, unity, gnome shell, awesome, mate, jwm and couple I cant think of off the top of my head atm
[09:43] <harem> hahaah
[09:43] <primefalcon> yup
[09:43] <harem> that's insane :O
[09:44] <harem> (positively meaning :D)
[09:44] <harem> what's gnome shell?
[09:44] <harem> you mentioned it
[09:44] <harem> primefalcon
[09:45] <primefalcon> its a new desktop that unity is forked from, gnome3 otherwise known as
[09:45] <harem> forked as in fork() ? :)
[09:46] <primefalcon> forked as in ubuntu took gnome and remade it in their image and called it unity effectively
[09:46] <harem> uhm, ok

[09:50] <lotuspsychje> how come another user cant mount a hd: fstab line: /media/sdb1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,user,owner
[09:50] <harem> em_, try what Blazemore suggested
[09:51] <harem> type in a shell that string
[09:51] <em_> i have installed libssl0.9.8
[09:51] <szal> anyone have an idea when the 1st "service pack" for 12.04, a.k.a. 12.04.1, will be released?
[09:51] <primefalcon> I'd say the same I just did an apt-cache search for libcrypto the only package I could see was libcrypto++9
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> how come another user cant mount a hd: fstab line: /media/sdb1  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,user,owner ?
[09:52] <harem> primefalcon, later on can you tell me what an apt-cache is?
[09:52] <em_> @harem i tried
[09:52] <susundberg> apt-file is nicer, it searches also the un-installed packges files included in the package
[09:52] <primefalcon> harem, if you run the command apt-cache search <search terms> yo can searc for programs and packages in he repo's via the command line
[09:52] <susundberg> afaik apt-cache only looks for the description etc, but no the file-list
[09:53] <harem> oohh that's niceee!!! I always used aptitude search for that!!
[09:53] <primefalcon> thats usualy what I am search for such as apt-cache search webm converter or whatever
[09:53] <szal> em_: when addressing people, skip the @ and use tab completion :)

[10:05] <Funkt> Hi there does anyone know if it is possible to produce iphone apps on ubuntu?
[10:05] <LjL> Funkt: it's not
[10:05] <tarzeau> Funkt: only web apps
[10:05] <Funkt> no need mac and mac only yeah
[10:05] <Funkt> is the concept the same?
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> llutz: this is what pysdm changes by default in /etc/fstab
[10:06] <Kartagis> you need xcode, which is Mac-only
[10:06] <tarzeau> Funkt: basically you can learn objective-c and gnustep (which is pretty much cocoa)
[10:06] <Funkt> Ok and then im away am i?
[10:06] <llutz> lotuspsychje: whatever pysdm is, its nonsense
[10:06] <tarzeau> Funkt: no, web apps are not in the app store, it's just html5 javascript webpages
[10:06] <lotuspsychje> !info pysdm | llutz
[10:06] <Funkt> I understand how web apps work
[10:06] <tarzeau> Kartagis: xcode is pretty much gorm.app (interface builder)
