[08:18] <kyan> Hi¸where should I ask a build error question?
[08:19] <TJ-> MiteshShah: Is 1000 advertised as a link mode?
[08:19] <wdp> Someguy123, ty was workin.
[08:19] <wdp> errm.
[08:19] <wdp> somsip, :)
[08:19] <somsip> wdp: np
[08:20] <MiteshShah> TJ-, how to check it
[08:21] <TJ-> MiteshShah: "ethtool eth0"
[08:22] <MiteshShah> TJ-, http://pastebin.com/fjRG0m4y
[08:22] <MiteshShah> TJ-, i'm attached ethtool & lshw output
[08:24] <TJ-> MiteshShah: That report says eth0 only supports 10/100
[08:28] <greek> Hi what is the latest version of firefox supported by ubuntu?
[08:28] <marc> greek: Firefox 15
[08:28] <greek> Is it version 5? Because I see on the firefox website version 15
[08:28] <greek> marc: I'm on version 5 but in synapctec the upgrade option is greyed out
[08:29] <marc> greek: What version of Ubuntu are you using ?
[08:29] <greek> how do I upgrade firefox from command line?
[08:29] <greek> 11.04
[08:30] <marc> greek: Ok. Well first, you should upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu, which is 12.04. Then you can download F15 from their website or through the Software Center
[08:30] <crizis> greek, just upgrade to 12.04 already :)
[08:30] <crizis> you must first upgrade to 11.10 though
[08:30] <greek> haha ok
[08:30] <greek> something to do this weekend
[08:30] <greek> thanks fellas :)
[08:31] <marc> greek: My pleasure :)
[08:31] <gerbilcabbagehai> how do i copy a folder from a mounted usb drive to the www folder on a ubuntu?
[08:32] <somsip> gerbilcabbagehai: cp -R /mnt/drive/folder /var/www/
[08:32] <TJ-> somsip: That may not work without 'sudo' since /var/www/ is restricted
[08:32] <gerbilcabbagehai> somsip: ah "var"! i was looking in etc
[08:32] <gerbilcabbagehai> thanks
[08:32] <somsip> gerbilcabbagehai: Ah yes - what TJ- says. I have group priviledges so forgot
[08:33] <Doxin_> I'm having enormous trouble installing windows alongside linux, for some reason windows is using some form of new style partition gedit wont recognise. any ideas wtf is going on?
[08:33] <gerbilcabbagehai> Doxin_: W8?
[08:33] <ikonia> Doxin_: 1.) drop the language like "wtf" 2.) give us some info, and lets work it out
[08:33] <Doxin_> gerbilcabbagehai: w7
[08:33] <Doxin_> ikonia: what info do you need?
[08:33] <ikonia> Doxin_: 1.) what version of windows 2.) what version of ubuntu 3.) what type of install you're doing 4.) what the error/problem is
[08:34] <MiteshShah> TJ-, that means my eth0 cann't support 1000
[08:34] <TJ-> Doxin_: If the PC has an EFI firmware, Wndows is possibly using a GPT
[08:34] <gerbilcabbagehai> Doxin_: and what order you are trying to do them in too
[08:34] <Doxin_> gerbilcabbagehai: windows first, then linux
[08:34] <gordonjcp> Donnw: wait, what? "partition gedit won't recognise"?
[08:34] <TJ-> MiteshShah: Correct. But if you look closely, you'll see that eth1 does support 1000. Have you got them confused?
[08:34] <gordonjcp> Donnw: disregard, sorry
[08:34] <ikonia> Doxin_: ok - so aat this time, is windows installed ?
[08:34] <gordonjcp> Doxin_: why are you trying to edit a partition with gedit?
[08:34] <Doxin_> ikonia: sure,
[08:35] <ikonia> Doxin_: windows is installed at this moment ?
[08:35] <Doxin_> gordonjcp: to customise the layout.
[08:35] <ikonia> whoaaa
[08:35] <Doxin_> ikonia: yes
[08:35] <ikonia> edit a partition with gedit
[08:35] <ikonia> I missed that part
[08:35] <TJ-> I think Doxin_ means "gparted" :p
[08:35] <MiteshShah> yes i know and thats the reason i'm asking why eth1 has 1000 and eth0 only support 100
[08:35] <Doxin_> gordonjcp: *gparted
[08:35] <ikonia> phew
[08:35] <ikonia> ok
[08:35] <gordonjcp> Doxin_: aha, that makes more sense
[08:35]  * TJ- giggles
[08:35] <gerbilcabbagehai> phew indeed lol
[08:35] <MiteshShah> TJ-, yes i know and thats the reason i'm asking why eth1 has 1000 and eth0 only support 100
[08:35] <Natherul> hey all, anyone know how to and able to guide me on how to install wow on ubuntu 12.04? tried playonlinux without success
[08:35] <ikonia> Doxin_: ok, so is Windows taking up the whole disk
[08:35] <Doxin_> ikonia: yes.
[08:36] <ikonia> Doxin_: ok, so you want to reduce the size of hte windows partition to allow ubuntu to  be installed, correct ?
[08:36] <TJ-> MiteshShah: It depends on the hardware chipset. Some systems have older chips for one port and newer chips for others
[08:36] <Doxin_> ikonia: correct
[08:36] <gordonjcp> Doxin_: editing a partition with gedit would indicate that you are an utterly misguided noob, or ridiculously hardcore ;-)
[08:36] <ikonia> Doxin_: perfect ok, now we understand. Is this windows 7 ?
[08:36] <Doxin_> ikonia: yes
[08:36] <TJ-> MiteshShah: Look at the output of lshw - it details that the system has 2 different network controllers
[08:36] <gerbilcabbagehai> somsip: if i just do cp -R /media/usb /var/www/ would that do it?
[08:36] <ikonia> Doxin_: excellent, and you are booting an Ubuntu 12.04 livecd to re-size ?
[08:36] <Doxin_> ikonia: yes
[08:37] <ikonia> Doxin_: final question, how big is this disk ?
[08:37] <Doxin_> ikonia: 2tb
[08:37] <ikonia> there we go
[08:37] <ikonia> gpt partition table
[08:37] <Doxin_> ikonia: hmm?
[08:37] <MiteshShah> TJ-, That means if i swap the ports then eth0 support 1000 and eth1 has down to 100 right
[08:37] <awaad> Is there any simple method in order to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Laptop using my USB Flash Memory ?
[08:37] <ikonia> Doxin_: if the disk is 2GB or over windows will install using a GTP partition table
[08:37] <MiteshShah> TJ-, yes i know one is intel and another is realtek
[08:37] <somsip> gerbilcabbagehai: if you want the entire contents from the usb drive into the www folder, and if you have permissions to read from /media/usb and write to /var/www and want any files in /var/ww that have the same names to be overwritten by new ones
[08:37] <TJ-> MiteshShah: swap the ports? you mean change the names of the ports?
[08:38] <TJ-> MiteshShah: is there any reason you can't just configure eth1 instead of eth0 ?
[08:38] <Doxin_> ikonia: no, it's refusing that. If I partition it using gparted then install windows it's complaining about not supporting gpt partition tables
[08:38] <ikonia> Doxin_: that's excactly what I've just said
[08:38] <ikonia> Doxin_: gpt partition tables
[08:39] <Doxin_> ikonia: okay
[08:39] <Doxin_> so...
[08:39]  * gerbilcabbagehai nervously types that in and pushes enter somsip
[08:39] <Doxin_> now what?
[08:39] <gerbilcabbagehai> somsip: I see a red light blinking! i thinks its working
[08:39] <ikonia> Doxin_: I'm looking at gpt support for gparted, if that's not an option, you'll need to use another tool, or re-install windows on a smaller partition
[08:39] <exalt> hello, how normal is it that libre office is not showing up when i alt-tab through my running applications ?
[08:40] <gerbilcabbagehai> somsip:  omg, that sounded ... lame from me
[08:40] <Doxin_> ikonia: if I partition using windows gparted can't see the partition
[08:40] <ikonia> Doxin_: yes, I know that, I've just explained why
[08:40] <gerbilcabbagehai> "I see a red light blinking"...
[08:40] <Doxin_> ikonia: okay...
[08:40] <MiteshShah> actually we configure my system ad squid proxy server and on eth1 is connected to the internet and eth0 has lan so i don''t want to mess with working settings
[08:40] <MiteshShah> TJ-,  actually we configure my system ad squid proxy server and on eth1 is connected to the internet and eth0 has lan so i don''t want to mess with working settings
[08:40] <somsip> gerbilcabbagehai: it may be that you are the only person who cares if it's blinking or if it appears lame
[08:41] <Doxin_> ikonia: wait, if I make the windows partition smaller, would that work?
[08:41] <gerbilcabbagehai> somsip: yes i think thats the case. man gerbilcabbagehai
[08:41] <ikonia> Doxin_: well, yes and no. Yes it would work as you wouldn't need to use gparted to repartition
[08:41] <Doxin_> ikonia: but?
[08:41] <ikonia> Doxin_: no, it wouldn't work in that gparted would still not be able to see the partition if you wanted to change them later
[08:42] <Doxin_> ikonia: but installing linux next to it would work?
[08:42] <ikonia> Doxin_: yes
[08:42] <Doxin_> awesome
[08:42] <TJ-> MiteshShah: OK... so you want to rename the ports then? The names are saved by udev into "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" . Edit that file as root, and swap the eth0 eth1 names around, save it, and reboot.
[08:42] <ikonia> Doxin_: there is some documentation on gpt and gparted on the gparted sourceforge page, it's not conclusive.
[08:42] <Doxin_> ikonia: would windows see a ntfs partition i added later?
[08:42] <awaad> Is there any simple method in order to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Laptop using my USB Flash Memory ?
[08:43] <ikonia> Doxin_: sure
[08:43] <Doxin_> ikonia: problem solved
[08:43] <Doxin_> thanks
[08:43] <Natherul> hey all, anyone know how to and able to guide me on how to install wow on ubuntu 12.04? tried playonlinux without success
[08:43] <gerbilcabbagehai> ok another question somsip, I've copied the files over to my www folder. what options do i have to make the files appear in list format on my, www. Is there a dynamic "read all files and add the to a list" type command i can do?
[08:43] <TJ-> Doxin_: From the Windows Disk Management you can shrink an already-installed live NTFS file-system
[08:44] <mirage91> Doxin_,  sudo dd if=xxx.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=2M
[08:44] <ikonia> whoaaa
[08:44] <ikonia> Doxin_: don't do that
[08:44] <crizis> awaad, instructions how to make bootable usb stick are right on the download page... http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[08:44] <TJ-> Natherul: So far WoW on WINE isn't very useful
[08:44] <ikonia> mirage91: why are you telling him to write an iso to a second disk ?
[08:44] <Natherul> TJ-: really? used to work fine a while back on wrath.... .P
[08:45] <somsip> gerbilcabbagehai: I don't really understand your question. Would 'man ls' help you?
[08:45] <TJ-> Natherul: Well my partner tried it and it was too slow. FPS was terrible
[08:45] <Natherul> TJ: thats a shame.... was hopeing to play on my laptop that has ubuntu while at work.... .P cant even install atm due to agent something crashing
[08:46] <Calinou> TJ-: what graphics card/drivers do you have?
[08:46] <TJ-> Natherul: Some people do have success, but the key is the OpenGL acceleration support
[08:46] <TJ-> Calinou: Why?
[08:46] <Calinou> or are you talking to Natherul?
[08:47] <TJ-> Calinou: I was talking to Natherul, yes
[08:47] <Natherul> TJ-: well i know i have an nvidia on this here laptop.... not sure wich model though.... using the drivers thats recommended by ubuntu atm
[08:47] <TJ-> Natherul: same for my partner, with a desktop with a decent Nvidia card.
[08:48] <TJ-> Natherul: give it a try - your may be lucky :)
[08:48] <TJ-> Natherul: install the latest wine 1.4 (Precise) and see how you go
[08:48] <thechef> How can I access commercial PPAs outside Ubuntu Software Center?
[08:49] <TJ-> thechef: use "sudo apt-add-repository. .." at the command line, usually (see "man apt-add-repository")
[08:50] <TJ-> thechef: correction, my typo! "add-apt-repository"
[08:50] <thechef> TJ-: ah, it's already added, but now I wish to download it outside Software Center.
[08:50] <Natherul> TJ-: ok, does not playonlinux use that wine? as it crash on downloading with agent something in the start of install----
[08:50] <TJ-> thechef: download a package from the repo? Just do the usual "sudo apt-get install <package>"
[08:51] <chamunks> is there a way to install vlc in headless mode on 12.04
[08:51] <TJ-> Natherul: I've not looked at playonlinux but I believe so. Best to try installing at a terminal and capture the log of the error. That makes it easier to figure out
[08:51] <TJ-> chamunks: "vlc-nox" is the package, I believe
[08:52] <Natherul> TJ-: sure, cant say that im experianced with lunux however... what version of wine is in hte ubuntu software center?
[08:52] <thechef> TJ-: ..my questions are a bit unclear today. How can I access the repository without using the package management systems at all?
[08:52] <chamunks> TJ-, makes sense.
[08:52] <wdd_> NIHAO
[08:52] <TJ-> thechef: I'm not understanding the question! Repo's *are* accessed using the package management system!
[08:53] <chamunks> Now heres hoping that vlc can stream /dev/video0 to something more readable by zoneminder (i've managed to get my ip cams running smoothly.)
[08:53] <TJ-> chamunks: congratulations!
[08:53] <chamunks> TJ-, thanks its only lost me 6 hours of sleep
[08:53] <TJ-> chamunks: I know the feeling!
[08:53] <thechef> TJ-: yes, but they speak http so I could use the Browser as a low-level access tool for browing repos and I would like to do that, but that doesn't seem to work.
[08:53] <wdd_> you guys are nerds!
[08:54] <chamunks> i gotta catch this stupid kid so we can kick his butt out.
[08:54] <Calinou> wdd_: no u
[08:54] <chamunks> I know hes not smart enough to stop stealing so its only a matter of time before he robs me too.
[08:54] <MonkeyDust> thechef  there's this https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/
[08:54] <thechef> wdd_: geeks!
[08:54] <TJ-> thechef: That's correct. I understand now. You simply browse to the server listed in the sources.list file, usually adding "/ubuntu/" to the URL to get to the base of the repo
[08:54] <wdd_> geeks nerds same difference
[08:54] <wdd_> any j2ee devs in here
[08:55] <MonkeyDust> to geek or not to geek
[08:55] <TJ-> thechef: For example, for the Ubuntu archives its http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[08:55] <TJ-> wdd_: yes
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <nifferls> Hey guys
[08:55] <FloodBot1> nifferls: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:56] <MonkeyDust> thechef  there's also this https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/
[08:56] <MonkeyDust> http://packages.ubuntu.com
[08:56] <wdd_> yes?
[08:56] <TJ-> thechef: packages are in the pool/ sub-directory tree; package lists are in the dists/ tree
[08:57] <railsraider> anyone had luck automating the aptitude safe-upgrade to keep the current grub?
[08:58] <Natherul> TJ-: getting a lot of fixmeś and err, but they are all a repeat of eachother.... the eror is: err:wininet:open_http_connection create_netconn failed: 10036
[08:58] <thechef> TJ-:  for example in case of https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/rochard/ubuntu it requests username and password, but I don't know what to provide
[08:58] <TJ-> Natherul: failing to make a network connection (that other stuff is standard - telling us what is only stubbed not implemented in WINE)
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> !ppa > thechef
[08:59] <TJ-> thechef: Your system will have been provided with the login credentials when you bought the software
[08:59] <Natherul> TJ-: yeah i figured as much, but any idea on how to fix it at all? ^^
[09:00] <thechef> TJ-: ah it's working I accidentally picked the wrong credentials (for another package)
[09:00] <Sling> apart from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, where else could eth(0|1) be bound to a MAC? the physical first interface keeps being assigned eth1 (mac ending in 26) while the second hardware interface (mac ending in 27) gets eth0
[09:00] <Sling> very annoying when you have IPMI that has a PHY bond to the first interface, and you need eth1 up to use it
[09:00] <TJ-> thechef: I was working on a big recently, in apt, that caused failure to access private PPAs because the 'password' was being truncated. Let me find that, it might refresh me on how to manually get access to a PPA from a browser, since I had to do that in working on that bug
[09:00] <thechef> I want to use wget instead of Software Cener because my internet connection is currently lousy and Software Center doesn't seem to provide resume functionality
[09:00] <TJ-> thechef: Oh, good! saves me some searching :)
[09:01] <TJ-> thechef: I know what you mean
[09:02] <Natherul> TJ-: i figured as much.... but any chance you know how to fix those errors?
[09:04] <TJ-> Natherul: I think I recall it is caused by the installer trying to connect to a SSL site and for some reason it failing. I can't remember the specifics. Have you looked in the winehq app database - there's usually instructions there for workarounds in the reviews against each program
[09:04] <Mrokii> hello. I'm currently cleaning my HD and found a folder named "trash" in the folders ".local/share" in my home-folder.  Does somebody know if I can empty that folder? I mean, if it's safe to do so?
[09:05] <Natherul> TJ-: I did look, but I cant remember if I did not understand it or if it simply failed what stood there.... might as well be a combination of both... :P gonna have a look again
[09:06] <mulk> Hi.  I'm trying to understand Ubuntu's multitouch stack, but I'm having trouble getting a good overview of the current state of affairs.  Is “GEIS” a good keyword to start with?  (Actually, I'm trying to figure out how multitouch devices are discovered and enumerated, but I'm trying to take a step at a time. :))
[09:06] <akis>  i installed an add-on on my thunderbird but due to a conflict with another add-on i remove it. i am running xubutnu 12.04 and as far as i can see in /home/user/thunderbird there is no trace of this add-on after i remove it. is there any possibility of any left-over files somewhere else and how can i be sure that removing this add-on everything related to it is removed?
[09:06] <witakr> Hello again folks.
[09:07] <Natherul> TJ-: right, there was no workaround there, it just stated platinum rating with fresh install of ubuntu, wine and wow....
[09:07] <TJ-> Natherul: In winecfg you can choose to use a native version of wininet.dll - maybe that would help?
[09:08] <witakr> I think I have found a new problem specific to ubuntu. It seems my attempts to chmod a directory or a file are failing. I issue the command in terminal and when I check with ls -la I fins the changes I requested to the permissions did not take place.
[09:08] <witakr> Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
[09:09] <ikonia> witakr: what file system is on the disk you are using
[09:09] <Natherul> TJ-: where do i find that setting in winecfg? .... feeling like such  a nab atm
[09:09] <TJ-> witakr: Show us the commands and before/after results
[09:09] <chamunks> TJ-, you have any experience with streaming via vlc?
[09:09] <witakr> One moment please.
[09:10] <chamunks> I snipped this cvlc "v4l://" --v4l-vdev="/dev/video0" --v4l-adev="/dev/null" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=256}:standard{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:1234}" -I dummy from
[09:10] <TJ-> chamunks: not alot. Tried it years ago :)
[09:10] <chamunks> here https://blog.misc.ephaone.org/archives/vlc_webcam.html
[09:10] <chamunks> TJ-,  thats just about all that I have.
[09:10] <chamunks> but if i can figure out how to stream these cams it adds another three cameras to my arsinal bringing it up to 6 cameras versus 3
[09:11] <TJ-> chamunks: Sounds to me like a shotgun would be easier :p
[09:11] <witakr> TJ-, Here is a pastebin link to my attepts in terminal: http://pastebin.com/Ck64TE6H
[09:12] <dell> How can i find my winxp loader
[09:12] <chamunks> TJ-, if it was like the middle east we would just take the kids hands off and be done with this.
[09:12] <deffrag> Hello! I'm trying to connect using vnc from laptop to desktop. Both the systems are running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop. Running vncserver itself on desktop is giving error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216360/ . How can I fix this? What am I missing? I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[09:12] <afidegnum> T34Z1qou4b
[09:12] <chamunks> lol
[09:12] <TJ-> witakr: First. As it's in /media/ I'm assuming that it's an external device mounted there. So, it might be mounted read-only, or it might be a file system that doesn't support attributes
[09:13] <TJ-> chamunks: Well I'm a farmboy... we take the direct route, no messing :p
[09:13] <dell> I use a USB disk to install my ubuntu in windows xp
[09:13] <afidegnum> Hello, pls I am trying to write a shell script which will allow me to tar $file.gz     and remove the .gz file from the folder. how can I formulate the script?
[09:13] <Natherul> TJ-: where in winecfg an i find the setting for that wininet.dll?
[09:13] <chamunks> TJ-, sounds like it makes life much easier.
[09:14] <TJ-> Natherul: You're trying to make my brain ache :p It's one of the tabs that allows you to choose DLLs :p
[09:14] <witakr> TJ-, The disk is a secondary HD installed internally. It is not, however, used for any portion or purpose for the OS.
[09:14] <dell> but when i have installed my ubuntu, i cannot enter my windows,
[09:14] <dell> how can i ?
[09:14] <Natherul> TJ-: not my intention to make your brain hurt.... im just a nab :P and i am sincerly grateful for the help your giving me :D
[09:14] <TJ-> witakr: OK... what file-system is on that disk? You can check its mount settings with "mount | grep media!
[09:15] <TJ-> witakr:   oops.... "mount | grep media"
[09:15] <TJ-> Natherul: Ok, it's the "Libraries' tab
[09:15] <Natherul> TJ-: i reckon I just add the wininet.dll then since its not in the list?
[09:15] <TJ-> Natherul: e.g. on mine I see I've got ctl3d32 and wininet both listed, and set to "native, builtin)
[09:16] <nydel> is there a command like apropos that returns only installed softwares?
[09:16] <witakr> TJ-, Indeed: /dev/sdb1 on /media/witTV type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[09:16] <chamunks> ok nuts to this its bed time
[09:16] <chamunks> gnight
[09:16] <nydel> (for command line)
[09:16] <TJ-> Natherul: I can't remember if "native, builtin" means the WINE libraries, or ones from a Windows installation! You'd best do some research on that issue
[09:16] <chamunks> TJ-,  thanks for the attention to this.
[09:16] <chamunks> afk
[09:16] <TJ-> chamunks: sleep weel
[09:17] <Natherul> TJ-: ok, im gonna test now with wininet added as native.... see if i get another result
[09:17] <TJ-> witakr: as it's mounted using fuser (fuseblk) I'm going to guess it's an NTFS file-system. Try this "sudo blkid /deb/sdb1"
[09:17] <witakr> TJ-, It may be worth noting I have had no trouble accessing this drive in multiple OS installations including my current installation of Xubuntu 12.04.
[09:17] <TJ-> witakr: Did you change attributes with those, too?
[09:19] <witakr> TJ-, No I did not have a need at the time. I currently use one OS which is Xubuntu 12.04 however previously I have had Windows 7, Ubuntu12.04, OpenSUSE and LinuxMint installed and experienced no trouble accessing. But to be clear I did not try to change any permissions while using those installations either.
[09:21] <witakr> TJ-,  I ran "sudo blkid /deb/sdb1" as you requested and it gave me no return.
[09:21] <TJ-> witakr: I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure it's NTFS where you can't set the unix-style permissions; NTFS uses ACLs
[09:21] <witakr> TJ-, That is to say I don't know if it worked properly or not because it did not specify.
[09:21] <ikonia> TJ-: correct
[09:22] <TJ-> witakr: 'deb' or 'dev' ?
[09:22] <ikonia> TJ-: it's mounted userspace so only the mounted owner will get acess
[09:22] <witakr> TJ-, "deb" as you instructed above. Should I try "dev" instead?
[09:22] <TJ-> ikonia: so that'd explain witakr's issue then? he can't change the attributes using " sudo chmod" ?
[09:22] <ikonia> TJ-: correct
[09:22] <TJ-> witakr: Did I mistype? Sorry! it should be /dev/
[09:23] <amgarching> Hi! What is the output of "fc-match" on your recent ubuntu?
[09:23] <witakr> TJ-, That is wuite alright. Thank you for your help. I will try "dev" now. One moment.
[09:23] <TJ-> witakr: As ikonia has confirmed - it's not possible to chmod an NTFS file-system mounted using fuser.
[09:23] <witakr> TJ-,  Then it seems I may need to clear my HD entirely and reformat to ext?
[09:24] <witakr> Or fat32?
[09:24] <TJ-> Depends if you want it accessible to Windows or not.
[09:24] <ikonia> witakr: fat32 doesn't support permissions, ext3/4 won't be stable or have permissions support in windows
[09:24] <witakr> TJ-,  It appears your suspicions are confirmed: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="witTV" UUID="8850F72050F71422" TYPE="ntfs"
[09:25] <witakr> ikonia, That it alright because I do not have a Windows partition to boot. I only have Xubuntu.
[09:25] <TJ-> witakr: Instead of trying to change the attributes, you could set-up an entry in fstab that mounts it with the group ownership set as you want it for the entire file-system
[09:26] <ikonia> witakr: then using ext4 wouldbe a wise move
[09:26] <Natherul> TJ-: getting the same errors no matter what i set the wininet.dll to.... seems that it wont work for me
[09:27] <TJ-> Natherul: that's a pain. You could try putting that error into Google and seeing if it leads to fixes/worarounds
[09:27] <jeroen_> Hello, can someone help me with bug filling this bug I have? My Quadro 2000M is acting glitchy after installing the nvidia-current 304.43 driver on Ubuntu 12.10. Version 295 has worked perfectly on 12.04.
[09:27] <witakr> TJ-, Though my gut tells me that may work, I am ignorant to the process. I am more than willing to try it if you might be able to assist me to that end? If you don't mind.
[09:28] <Natherul> TJ-: I appriciate the help non-the-less mate :P thanks for wasting your time on a nab like me :D
[09:28] <TJ-> witakr: I'd have to try it here, I'm not sure myself. All in all, from what you have said, I'd think converting the file-system to ext4 would be a better more useful approach
[09:28] <witakr> ikonia, Honestly, i thought I had formatted the drive to ext4 but appearantly during my bout of 'Musical OSes' I forgot to do so. I may end up doing just that.
[09:28] <TJ-> Natherul: It isn't wasted - we're all learning here
[09:29] <Imhotep_> hello
[09:30] <witakr> TJ-, Then i think I will do that. Thank you for your help. The process of moving my media from the drive will take a while so it will be a few minutes before I can begin that process.
[09:30] <TJ-> witakr: I know what its like - had to move 106GB earlier, between partitions on the same drive... took hours
[09:30] <witakr> ikonia, I think that reformatting to ext4 is the best route and likely the cause to ALL of the problem which I have had tonight. Thank you.
[09:30] <ikonia> witakr: no problem
[09:32] <witakr> TJ-, Fortunatly for me I ahve only just begun the process of converting my DVD collection so I have but only seven movie files to move and some music. Should only take 15 or 20 minutes at most.
[09:32] <d1rkp1tt> Hi there, I have created a share in Ubuntu, just wondering how I connect to it from windows? I have tried \\servername\sharename  but I cant seem to authenticate
[09:38] <deffrag> Hello! I'm trying to connect using vnc from laptop to desktop. Both the systems are running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop. Running vncserver itself on desktop is giving error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216360/ . How can I fix this? What am I missing? I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[09:41] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: have you setup ssh?
[09:42] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I'm trying vnc on the local network at the moment. I can ssh between desktop and laptop
[09:42] <gerbilcabbagehai> so they connect ok using other methods first?
[09:42] <witakr> ikonia && TJ-, It seems after formatting to ext4 the owner was set to root thus preventing me from making ANY changes. What did I do wrong? I simply used the standard settings in Gparted to format the drive.
[09:43] <ikonia> witakr: after formatting it's always set to root, you now need to chown it
[09:43] <Neuhristide> Hi !
[09:43] <witakr> ikonia, Then I will chown the hell out of it. One moment.
[09:44] <Neuhristide> I have a problem : I want to install Lexmark x203n (All in one printer). Only printer work, but xsane and simple scan don't detect scanner. But sane-find-scanner detect scanner
[09:44] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: what step have you got up to in the VNC server install?
[09:44] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I didn't follow your question. What run okay using which method? SSH? Within the local network, I'm able to ssh to desktop(<IP_ADDRESS>) from laptop (<IP_ADDRESS>) here.
[09:45] <jongleur> Hi. Is there anything known why dropbox is not working in precise? I tried to install it from the website and using several tutorials I found, but it's not starting. The dropbox icon is shown, but trying to start dropbox it says I have to restart nautilus - and that seems not to help
[09:47] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: what system is your pastebin message coming from? laptop or desktop?
[09:48] <witakr> It will be a minute as I learn how to chown. As you may have already gathered, my knowledge of Linux is spotty at best. I am relatively new to this OS and I learn new things as needed. I have found a really helpful document which explains permissions in linux as well as chmod and chown. For those interested I can give a link if desired. I have some reading to do now.
[09:48] <ikonia> witakr: sudo chown -R user:group /your/mount/point
[09:48] <blackshirt> witakr you can share here
[09:50] <witakr> ikonia, Thanks for the shortcut. I will try that.
[09:50] <witakr> blackshirt, This is the link. It is on a wiki for PlexMediaServer. http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Plex_Media_Server-Linux_Permissions_Guide
[09:51] <theGrg> Hello, I am unable to update "resolvconf" due to a "Hash Sum mismatch".
[09:51] <blackshirt> thats great
[09:51] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: This should make it clear - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216304/ . If your client allows scrollback, same details and question was given probably an hour ago
[09:51] <blackshirt> Thegrg, look a error/corrupted
[09:52] <theGrg> blackshirt is this a problem many are having? I'm using the main server.
[09:52] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: this paste is different to last :)
[09:52] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: As you can see, after ssh to desktop from laptop, when I run the vnc server on desktop, gives error
[09:52] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: It describes what all I've tried
[09:52] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[09:52] <deffrag> instead of error paste for one command
[09:53] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag:  thnks
[09:53] <ramprasadgk> how do i connect to my wifi n/w
[09:53] <blackshirt> thegrg, i don't know exactly ...
[09:53] <mechteamreal> hey guys
[09:54] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag:  are you trying to run the client or server with that command? from what i see you are trying to run the client. is your server setup correctly first?
[09:56] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: As far as I understand, The system I'm connecting from, laptop is client to desktop, is server. As you can see, for running VNC server itself on the desktop it gave error
[09:57] <theGrg> I am unable to update the package "resolvconf". Can someone assist me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216446/
[09:57] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: do you want server to have a password?
[09:57] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[09:58] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: Not for testing at the moment. I just would like to see how it works for now before configuring it for security
[09:58] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: do you have all necessary libraries installed for VNC server?
[09:59] <mechteamreal> how to mask my IP here ....
[09:59] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I've installed x11vnc, openssh-server, openssh-client on both laptop and desktop
[09:59] <llutz> mechteamreal: ask in #freenode for a cloak
[09:59] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[09:59] <mechteamreal> ^^
[09:59] <m3pow> can anyone help me update unity to 5.16
[10:00] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[10:00] <witakr> ikonia, Off topic: I just heard your name "ikonia" said on Star Trek TNG. I thought that was interesting. lol
[10:00] <m3pow> or should i wait for it to appear in update manager?
[10:01] <mikk0> im trying to get my machine to boot a degraded raid1 software raid partition, and i set the kernel parameters in grub to "bootdegraded=true" and ran update-grub, and set the parameter BOOT_DEGRADED=TRUE in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm and ran update-initramfs -u, and it still wont boot
[10:01] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: possible alternative solution : do you want to try http://synergy-foss.org/download/?list, or do you need to access your desktop from over internet at a later date/place
[10:01] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: What do you think is missing?
[10:01] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[10:02] <Neuhristide> Hi again !
[10:03] <Rinsole> Hello.
[10:03] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: im familiar with sshing, but im new to vnc. im learning what you need, so i can help. Perhaps not effectively but im trying lol
[10:03] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I'm currently trying VNC on my local netowrk, it I'm able to do that properly, I'l extend to access from internet. As mentioned,  I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC but it didn't work for me.
[10:03] <deffrag> Ah-ok!
[10:03] <deffrag> s/it/if*
[10:03] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: think of what im doing as thinking along with you
[10:03] <ramprasadgk> my wifi is not detecting any n/w even though quiet a few around, ::: all drivers installed .. rfkill list wlan says they are not hard/soft blocked
[10:04] <llutz> !patience | ramprasadgk
[10:04] <Neuhristide> I try to use Lexmark x203n scanner, but I can't because sane-find-scanner find scanner but xsane don't find scanner
[10:05] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: can you connect to each machine both ways, using some other protocol? obvious question is obvious : does ssh tell you that it is not a connection problem, but rather a configuration problem?
[10:06] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216345/ -- netstat -nta | grep LIST if it may help
[10:06] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I'm able to ssh from desktop to laptop and vice-versa if that is what you are asking
[10:07] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: right. good good.
[10:08] <theGrg> I am unable to update the package "resolvconf" due to a Hash Mismatch. Can someone assist me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216446/
[10:09] <llutz> theGrg: have you run "apt-get update"?
[10:09] <theGrg> llutz yes
[10:09] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: what port will you be using? is your router configured correctly to allow vnc communications?
[10:11] <tsimpson> deffrag: you do not run x11vnc as root
[10:11] <llutz> theGrg: "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install resolvconf"  any success?
[10:12] <Doxin_> ikonia: it seems that changing the partitions in any way whatsoever breaks windows.
[10:12] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: Since, I'm attempting VNC locally, port forwarding 22 will not come in between. If I was doing it from outside the network, port forwarding would have helped. As the wiki says, port forward only 22 which is already done as I sometimes ssh to system from outside
[10:12] <deffrag> tsimpson: It was giving permission issues as you can see in the paste, which I why I tried that
[10:12] <jrib> theGrg: run apt-get update again, if it persists, wait more and run apt-get update again or just use a different mirror.  I think this happens when the mirror is updating and you update as the mirror is in the middle of updating but the md5sums haven't been updated yet
[10:12] <theGrg> jrib its been several days though.
[10:12] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: true
[10:12] <jrib> theGrg: so use a different mirror
[10:13] <Doxin_> ikonia: I don't see why it's being this difficult, on an identical machine everything went fine
[10:13] <tsimpson> deffrag: in the paste I'm looking at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216360/ you use sudo
[10:13] <deffrag> tsimpson: Even running it without sudo, vnc server is not initialized. I'm stuck at getting VNC server started at desktop
[10:13] <theGrg> jrib I'm using what software-sources calls "Main Server". I'll try US if nothig works, I guess.
[10:14] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag:  Q, why is it trying to open x display when it is cli command type server?
[10:14] <deffrag> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216304/
[10:14] <jrib> theGrg: you should take the opportunity to setup a local mirror then :)
[10:14] <jrib> theGrg: "setup" as in "find"
[10:14] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: I'm equally new to it, and learning
[10:15] <tsimpson> gerbilcabbagehai: because it forwards a running display, so it needs an X server
[10:15] <theGrg> jrib you might as well mean "set up" :) The Lebanese server seems to be out-of-date. I wonder how much work it would be to maintain it...
[10:15] <Z0oM> hi
[10:15] <Doxin_> ikonia: halp!
[10:15] <Doxin_> ikonia: how do I get them to dualboot?
[10:16] <theGrg> llutz that didn't fix things. I'm going to try changing the server now.
[10:16] <deffrag> tsimpson: And it is running as mentioned in the paste above. ps aux part in the bottom of the paste
[10:16] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: so, is your x display working correctly?
[10:17] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: lol sorry for the nooby 20 questions
[10:17] <jrib> theGrg: well you could try lb.archive.ubuntu.com.  Are you saying that that is out of date?
[10:17] <theGrg> jrib from experience, yes it is out-of-date
[10:18] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: Yes, as far as I understand it is. ps aux says so. And I'm sure if I connect display to the desktop now it will show Ubuntu login screen. Currently, desktop I'm connecting to from laptop is like a headless system with no monitor, keyboard, mouse attached
[10:18] <tsimpson> deffrag: is there currently a running X session on the desktop system?
[10:18] <Danse_Macabre> hello my my current setup consists of the following, i have two internet connections . my pc has 3 network cards. based on the time of day i should be able to choose which internet connection i use.  only between 2 am to 8 am i should use internet connection #2 rest of the time it should be internet connection #1. also i need all my other computers to connect to the internet through this PC as well( use the 3rd network adapter)
[10:18] <ikonia> Doxin_: what ?
[10:18] <jrib> theGrg: hmm, it's probably worthwhile to file a bug; maybe the admin isn't aware
[10:18] <ikonia> Doxin_: what's the issue ?
[10:19] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: hence why you are sudoing before login?
[10:19] <Doxin_> ikonia: I'm having trouble getting windows to play nice alongside linux on my 2tb disk
[10:19] <ikonia> Doxin_: as I said earlier, you need to explain the problem rather than saying "it won't work"
[10:19] <theGrg> jrib I believe it is simply unmaintained as the Ubuntu Lebanon team is no longer active.
[10:19] <deffrag> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216474/ -- is that the right way to confirm if X is running?
[10:20] <Doxin_> ikonia: the problem is that if linux touches the partition table windows stops booting
[10:20] <jrib> theGrg: in either case, lb.archive.ubuntu.com shouldn't be pointing to non-functional servers
[10:20] <ikonia> Doxin_: again - explain the problem
[10:20] <gerbilcabbagehai> deffrag: what version ubuntu and desktop have you?
[10:20] <ikonia> Doxin_: not what you think is happeneing, what's actually happening
[10:21] <deffrag> gerbilcabbagehai: Both laptop and desktop are running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop as mentioned in the original question!
[10:21] <gerbilcabbagehai> gnome?
[10:21] <tsimpson> deffrag: you need to be running an X session, as a the user you're trying to use VNC as, for it to work
[10:21] <theGrg> jrib where do you recommend I file the bug?
[10:21] <deffrag> tsimpson: So, in my current session with the desktop in ssh. I should run startx?
[10:21] <Doxin_> ikonia: I want to dualboot. I install windows. linux doesn't see the windows partition. manually partitioning taking care to not touch the invisible windows partitions makes windows not boot anymore.
[10:21] <jrib> theGrg: I'm not sure where the appropriate place is.  I assume somewhere no launchpad.  Maybe #ubuntu-bugs can be more specific
[10:21] <ikonia> Doxin_: please explain "not boot any more" errors/warnings
[10:22] <Doxin_> ikonia: grub doesn't list windows no more, and the windows install disk can't find the windows partition anymore, just listing it as free space.
[10:23] <ikonia> Doxin_: ok, one moment please.
[10:23] <codemaniac>  "Как пропатчить KDE2 под FreeBSD"
[10:24] <tsimpson> deffrag: you should try using /var/lib/lightdm/:0 rather than /var/lib/lightdm/:0.Xauth
[10:26] <deffrag> tsimpson: x11vnc -auth /var/lib/lightdm/:0 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 ?
[10:26] <jrib> theGrg: did changing the mirror resolve your hash issue?
[10:26] <ikonia> Doxin_: it seems 12.04 handles gpt differently then previous releases. This ask ubuntu thread is quite useful
[10:26] <ikonia> Doxin_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132843/why-do-i-need-to-create-a-bios-grub-partition-when-i-install-12-04
[10:26] <tsimpson> deffrag: with sudo, yes
[10:26] <theGrg> jrib still apt-get updating, my current connection is pretty slow.
[10:27] <jrib> theGrg: ok
[10:27] <deffrag> tsimpson: Now, why with sudo? You said it shouldn't run with sudo
[10:28] <deffrag> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216480/
[10:28] <tsimpson> deffrag: because you're cheating and trying to get the display of the display manager, rather than a user. there is security you must bypass (by using sudo) to do that
[10:28] <Doxin_> ikonia: it hasn't got uefi, so it's impossible to dualboot like this?
[10:29] <deffrag> tsimpson: cheating? Well, currently as the process suggests it running lightdm login screen as root. so, we are trying to get access to that right?
[10:29] <ikonia> Doxin_: the post explains it
[10:30] <Doxin_> ikonia: I read it. It says windows wont install to a gpt partition without uefi.
[10:30] <deffrag> tsimpson: Command issued was <sudo x11vnc -auth /var/lib/lightdm/:0 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0>  display :0 is missing in the paste
[10:31] <tsimpson> deffrag: the display manager is not really running as root, it's running as lightdm
[10:32] <deffrag> tsimpson: Ok, I ran the command as you said - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216485/
[10:32] <WormDrink> hi
[10:32] <WormDrink> how do I get gdm to not start up
[10:32] <WormDrink> I tried update-rc.d - but it doesnt make any difference
[10:32] <WormDrink> running 10.04
[10:32] <ikonia> Doxin_: no, not quite
[10:32] <jrib> !text | WormDrink
[10:33] <WormDrink> is that the only way ?
[10:33] <jrib> WormDrink: no...
[10:33] <dr_willis> its an easy  :-)
[10:33] <dr_willis> way
[10:33] <WormDrink> so - how bout a more elegant way - i mean with gentoo I would just diable it with rc-update - but yeah - sadly ubuntu has like 10 ways to do one thing - and none of them work
[10:34] <ILikeCats> good day everyone
[10:34] <dr_willis> linux has many ways.. nit ubuntu specific
[10:34] <jrib> WormDrink: I don't remember how gdm is setup in 10.04.  Pastebin your /etc/init/gdm.conf .  Though imo, using "text" as above is the most elegant way :)
[10:35] <Odra> Hey guys
[10:35] <dr_willis> find the gdm.conf and rename it to gmd.dontrun  is another wat
[10:35] <tsimpson> deffrag: try by using "–auth /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority" instead
[10:35] <witakr> ikonia && TJ-, Well formatting the drive to ext4 and a little chmod work and now all my problems are resolved. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
[10:35] <Odra> I am an student programmer that programs gadgets. What kind of gadget should I program?
[10:35] <WormDrink> http://pastebin.com/aJb77kfJ
[10:35] <jrib> Odra: try #ubuntu-offtopic for programming project suggestions
[10:36] <WormDrink> should I just comment out start on ?
[10:36] <jrib> WormDrink: that's one way, or add "and never" as a condition. In later upstart versions, you could use a .override file, but not in 10.04
[10:37] <jrib> WormDrink: renaming the file works too as dr_willis suggested but then you can't use upstart to start the service manually after boot

[10:38] <ILikeCats> I got a problem, maybe some of you can help me: I just installed Ubuntu today and wanted it to dual-boot aside Windows 7. The installation went fine and after the installation Windows 7 even showed up at the grub menu. Ubuntu boots fine, but Windows 7 only boots until the logo shows up, then my pc restarts. I tried to fix this issue already with the Windows 7 install cd but the problem persists. I tried Ubuntu 12.04 and 10.10 (beca
[10:38] <ILikeCats> fine a few months ago) but this time the problem occurs with both versions. Im happy for any kind of help and Im sorry for this wall of text.

[10:47] <ILikeCats> dr_willis: Windows isn?t booting and the problem only occured after I installed Ubuntu so I guess Ubuntu somehow messed with the windows files.
[10:47] <ncfi1013__> marc...12.04
[10:47] <kgs> You probably didn't do the partitioning right ILikeCats
[10:48] <dr_willis> you said it boots to the  windows logo. so it is booting.. then crashing
[10:48] <ncfi1013__> dr_willis...what are the names of the other extensions?
[10:48] <tsimpson> deffrag: ok, once more with "-auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0"
[10:48] <WormDrink> Hi, Also want to disable console-kit-daemon from starting - any ideas how ?
[10:49] <dr_willis> ncfi1013__: no idea. im on my phone so cant see ehat ive got installed
[10:49] <ILikeCats> kgs I used the automatic partitioning
[10:49] <kgs> ILikeCats: if you don't mind starting over (seeing as you already re-installed windows), then why not create a new partition table for your master disk & re-install both the OS ?
[10:49] <ILikeCats> dr_willis yes thats right but it did boot completely before I installed Ubuntu
[10:50] <kgs> do the partitioning manually thing time
[10:50] <ILikeCats> kgs Thats a good idea but I don?t really know how to partition manually.
[10:51] <ILikeCats> I tried it some time ago but it gave me an error
[10:51] <ILikeCats> let me think what it said
[10:51] <ehlodex> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[10:51] <ncfi1013__> i also have a question about partitioning
[10:51] <ehlodex> i've successfully used those directions recently
[10:52] <ncfi1013__> the swap...put it in the beginning middle or end?
[10:52] <deffrag> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216498/ something different this time. And, it didn't return to prompt. Should I now run a vnc client on laptop?
[10:52] <ncfi1013__> cuz my computer freezes at least twice a day
[10:52] <DarkStar1> why does the command "sudo shutdown -r now" not work in 12.04
[10:53] <ncfi1013__> my swap is in the middle
[10:53] <ILikeCats> ehlodex thank you for pointing me in the right direction
[10:53] <DarkStar1> It just prints the message but nothing happens
[10:53] <tsimpson> deffrag: lines 78 and 79 suggest that you can
[10:53] <deffrag> tsimpson: As far as I understand, the VNC server is now running localhost:0
[10:53] <ncfi1013__> should i have put it at the beginning?
[10:53] <deffrag> Yes, I
[10:53] <snomi> I was in the middle of installing pen drive ubuntu, when it errored out. Now windows asks for a format, and gparted cant rix the USB. I think I bricked it.
[10:53] <ehlodex> ncfi1013__: i usually put it first, but i'm not sure that it matters that much
[10:54] <dr_willis> i put swap at the end. it dosent matter  much these days
[10:55] <DarkStar1> anyone?
[10:55] <jilt007> DarkStar1: ??
[10:55] <DarkStar1> why does the command "sudo shutdown -r now" not work in 12.04? It just prints the message but nothing happens
[10:55] <dr_willis> typical win7 partition layout + ubuntu, 4 primary partitions =  (windows boot)(windows) (ubuntu /) (swap)
[10:56] <deffrag> tsimpson: Thanks a lot! It finally worked. I used a VNC client and inputted <IP_ADDRESS> for access
[10:56] <DarkStar1> but the system "doesn't go down for a reboot now" as the message would have me believe
[10:56] <tsimpson> deffrag: glad it's working
[10:56] <deffrag> tsimpson: I'm trying to understand the problem from the commands you asked to issue. What was I missing?
[10:56] <ehlodex> DarkStar1: wouldn't you use "sudo reboot now"?
[10:57] <grnt> DarkStar1: shutdown has been broken like that for a long time already
[10:57] <jilt007> DarkStar1:  use -h :P
[10:57] <tsimpson> deffrag: just searching for the correct location of where lightdm stores it's X11 authentication file
[10:57] <DarkStar1> used to work for me in 11.10
[10:57] <DarkStar1> jilt007:  doesn't work either and I only need r as it is a remote :P
[10:57] <grnt> I remember I had strange problems with shutdowns since, like, 10.10
[10:58] <jilt007> DarkStar1: use init 6 :P   or init 0 depends on what u want :)
[10:58] <DarkStar1> should've just stuck with debian I guess :P
[10:58] <deffrag> tsimpson: Ah, thanks. And, that command is running didn't return to prompt. So, do I need to open another ssh session and that can be terminated?
[10:59] <prashant_123456>  Bug #976032: Place plugin problem with panel in fullscreen and gnome classic.  can anyone help me out
[10:59] <grnt> DarkStar1: Arch. It's worth it.
[10:59] <tsimpson> deffrag: you can either kill it from another ssh session, or you can probably just press Ctrl-C from the same session and it should stop
[11:00] <deffrag> tsimpson: But I would like it to be running in the background
[11:01] <dr_willis> deffrag:  you may want to look into useing screen or tmux ;)
[11:01] <MonkeyDust> and byobu, a fancy layer over screen
[11:02] <dr_willis> byobu can use tmux also these days
[11:02] <deffrag> tsimpson: And, it VNC stopped by itself - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216508/
[11:02] <deffrag> dr_willis: screen -d -x something?
[11:03] <deffrag> dr_willis: screen -d -m <command> ?
[11:03] <dr_willis> i just start byobu whenver i ssh in.
[11:03] <deffrag> byobu and tmux, new to me
[11:04] <m3pow> hello!
[11:04] <dr_willis> run 'byobu' and be amazinafied..
[11:04] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:04] <m3pow> is it ok to do an unity update ?
[11:04] <tsimpson> deffrag: you can just place an '&' after the command to have it run in the background
[11:05] <dr_willis> but if using & and you logout/disconnect it may still close
[11:05] <deffrag> tsimpson: Yes, I was going to try that . But by doing so, I'm may not be able to see errors for like i stopped suddenly now
[11:05] <dr_willis> tmux,screen,byobu  wont. ;)
[11:05] <ncfi1013__> what does pressing tab do? after doing this: sudo apt-get install libavfilter-extra
[11:05] <SilfenX> "Only the firm's Windows Server 2012 Datacenter edition can be deployed on more than two virtual instances, and at $4,809 plus process and Windows CALs also needing to be purchased, this version could be a marketing gift for Red Hat, Canonical and everyone else in the Openstack consortium.

[11:05] <SilfenX> "
[11:06] <ncfi1013__> nevermind
[11:06] <tsimpson> deffrag: it will still print to the screen, it will just be mixed into the normal shell output. you can also have it write to a log file, by appending "&> some_log.txt" (before the final '&')
[11:06] <deffrag> ah, yes
[11:08] <ncfi1013__> thanks...i appreciate all your help...
[11:09] <ILikeCats> If you use manual partitioning, how big should the swap be if I got 4GB RAM?
[11:09] <m3pow> 8gb
[11:09] <m3pow> min
[11:09] <deffrag> tsimpson: I didn't understand one thing. SSH started from laptop to desktop. Desktop started VNC server on localhost. And, now back to laptop I started vnc client to access it using <IP_ADDRESS> not <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:09] <deffrag> local host on desktop not laptop side
[11:10] <dr_willis> depends on your needs.. ram size + a little bit for use with hibernation.
[11:10] <ILikeCats> ok thanks m3pow
[11:10] <m3pow> also listen to dr_willis
[11:10] <ILikeCats> dr_Willis if I dont use hibernation Im fine with 4gb or..?
[11:11] <dr_willis> or less.
[11:11] <ILikeCats> ok
[11:11] <ILikeCats> thank you
[11:11] <dr_willis> totally depends on whzt you do with the system
[11:12] <tsimpson> deffrag: you used "-L 5900:localhost:5900" in your ssh command, that forwards connections from your local port 5900 to the remote server port 5900
[11:12] <zenx> Hi, when cloning the ubuntu kernel git  if i use git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git can I checkout a branch that is inside the ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal branch?
[11:12] <ILikeCats> I will use it for browsing, office, music,...
[11:13] <ILikeCats> just the normal stuff nothing fancy
[11:13] <kyan> Hi. How do I revert all the package changes from the past day?
[11:13] <ikonia> zenx: yyou can check out any branch you want
[11:13] <kyan> Or alternatively downgrade all packages to the latest version available in a repository?
[11:13] <deffrag> tsimpson: So, that allows port 5900 from laptop to desktop for communicating for VNC
[11:14] <tsimpson> deffrag: yes, it just forwarded along everything you send to your laptop localhost:5900 (over SSH) to the desktops localhost:5900
[11:16] <zenx> ikonia: but if i do "git branch -a " the I can't see the quantal branch, only master.
[11:16] <deffrag> tsimpson: Alright, thanks that I got this basic setup in local network working with your help. Lastly, could you tell me in short how can I extend it for access form outside local network, internet?
[11:16] <xsl> does bash have any /etc/default/bash that can force all comands to be logged ?
[11:16] <yarekt> hey, I got a quick question. In syslog i'm seeing these kind of messages: "ata5: hard resetting link", They are all prefixed with ata5, How can I tell *which* physical drive they are related to ?

[11:17] <codemaniac> xsl: do you want to see where the command histry i slogged ?
[11:17] <codemaniac> ~/.bash_history
[11:18] <xsl> i know its logged there codemaniac , the problem is ... i want all commands to be logged to rsyslog
[11:18] <xsl> .bash_history can be adultered
[11:18] <xsl> even if i do the chattr +a .bash_history
[11:18] <zenx> yarekt: http://serverfault.com/questions/244944/linux-ata-errors-translating-to-a-device-name
[11:19] <xsl> or a user can even do HISTFILESIZE=0
[11:19] <xsl> and that way i dont get what they do
[11:19] <yarekt> xsl, Awesome ! +1 internets to you sir
[11:20] <xsl> yarekt,  sorry,  i don't understand your input
[11:21] <francispereira> xsl, grsec patches for the linux kernel allow logging of all user executed commands I think
[11:21] <tsimpson> deffrag: what you've done should already, as long as you have the DNS name or IP address of the desktop
[11:21] <xsl> i have read on wiki.bash-hackers.org that if enabled at compile time ... it can log to syslog facility
[11:22] <deffrag> tsimpson:  whoops! So, only SSH is the security?
[11:22] <codemaniac> xsl: there was a ncative ubix utility called acct , that helped admisnistrators to watch her users are doing
[11:22] <ify> hi everyone
[11:22] <tsimpson> deffrag: yes
[11:22] <xsl> francispereira, i know that one, but that one is too much
[11:22] <ify> helo
[11:22] <deffrag> tsimpson: And, the user outside will be running those command, and on vnc client, localhost input
[11:22] <deffrag> ?
[11:22] <xsl> codemaniac, yes i know acct but again ... it can be override by user enviroment
[11:22] <codemaniac> !info acct
[11:23] <ify> can someone direct me to  a developer?
[11:23] <tsimpson> deffrag: there should be no difference in the commands between over LAN and over internet
[11:23] <ikonia> ify: why
[11:23] <ify> looking for support
[11:24] <xsl> i also read about placing on bash.bashrc the "read only" of those attributes.. like HISTFILESIZE... my guess is that there is no 1 variable solution... i need to work around several stuff
[11:24] <xsl> ty for the input guys
[11:24] <ikonia> ify: ask here - this is a support channel
[11:24] <ify> kk
[11:24] <ify> thanks

[11:25] <ify> want a software on asset monitoring and tracking
[11:25] <ikonia> ify: the guys in #ubuntuforums just told you - you don't need a developer. Just ask your question
[11:25] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[11:25] <deffrag> tsimpson: Since SSH local port forwarding is used? So, the only difference would be ssh user@<externalIP/domain>
[11:27] <tsimpson> deffrag: yes, though you may need to make sure external connection to port 5900 are forwarded to the desktop system and not blocked by your firewall/router

[11:30] <Tsavo> SSH into a fresh install of Xubuntu (12.04.1) suddenly having the Connection closed. -v flag reveals: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1213903/  usual fixes involving /etc/hosts aren't working
[11:30] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? I have setup kdump-tools but no dump kernel get loaded on manually triggering a crash
[11:31] <deffrag> tsimpson: Well, the wiki I used asks only to have port 22 forwarded not 5900- " configure your router to send connection attempts on port 22 (but not port 5900) to your PC". I already have port 22 forwarded. So ..
[11:32] <tsimpson> deffrag: well hopefully you don't need to forward 5900 then, best way to tell is to give it a try
[11:34] <twitchie> !botsnack
[11:34] <deffrag> tsimpson: Yes. But I'm curious if I'll have to forward port 5900 on router, will it allow only one connection? "By convention, port numbers start at 5,900 and go up, so a computer that shared three different desktops would normally listen on ports 5,900, 5,901 and 5,902"
[11:35]  * twitchie pat ubottu
[11:35] <tsimpson> deffrag: I'm not sure exactly how it's implemented in ssh, but I'm guessing you don't need to forward any more ports (from what I'm reading)
[11:35] <deffrag> tsimpson: Yes, thanks a lot for your time and input. :)
[11:35] <tsimpson> no problem
[11:39] <SilfenX> which version of the firewall is included in WHS2011? the win7 one or the one from w2k8?
[11:39] <BenE904> hello all newbie, I'm having some trouble using the terminal and was wondering if someone could help me.
[11:39] <auronandace> SilfenX: wrong channel
[11:40] <jrib> BenE904: just ask your question
[11:40] <SilfenX> auronandace: cripes! sry :(
[11:41] <BenE904> Well I'm trying to teach myself PERL in order to get on a masters course I want to do and i'm following the teach yourself PERL in 21 days.  However, when I try to run my first simple program I get the message: Can't open perl script "first.pl": No such file or directory
[11:41] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? I have setup kdump-tools but no dump kernel get loaded on manually triggering a crash
[11:41] <BenE904> I've made and saved it and i think its something to do with my PATH thing
[11:41] <jrib> BenE904: that means in the directory that you are in, the file "first.pl" does not exist
[11:42] <BenE904> how do I change the directory?  I have both windows and ubuntu installed on this desktop and think thats the problem
[11:42] <jrib> !cli | BenE904
[11:42] <jrib> BenE904: cd some-directory
[11:42] <auronandace> BenE904: that has nothing to do with it
[11:42] <twitchie> !mv | BenE904
[11:45] <_bt> hello, can anyone give me information on "SRU" updates to ubuntu?
[11:45] <jrib> !sru | _bt
[11:46] <BenE904> thanks ubottu, that looks like it might help
[11:47] <_bt> thanks jrib
[11:49] <mhr> hi
[11:49] <blackshirt> hi mhr
[11:49] <blackshirt> mhr, where do you come from?
[11:49] <mhr> which file does dpkg --status reads to show the package status?
[11:50] <mhr> blackfrank, I am from New Delhi
[11:51] <Tsavo> Koh steal your face?
[11:51] <blackshirt> Mhr, look at /var/lib/dpkg/status
[11:52] <blackshirt> mhr, you mention a wrong nick
[11:53] <mhr> blackshirt, oh i knew what you meant?
[11:53] <blackshirt> good
[11:54] <mhr> blackshirt, sorry that was a statement
[11:55] <blackshirt> no problemo
[11:56] <mhr> oh so dpkg --status reads from /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[11:56] <mhr> do you know where it gets all these informations from?
[11:57] <blackshirt> mhr, can describe more details?
[11:58] <nibbier> mhr, strace -eopen -f COMMAND will tell you what gets if info from where
[11:58] <blackshirt> yes, i think that files used internally by dpkg
[11:58] <mhr> I am working on a package upgrade script but and want to update the version number
[11:58] <tsimpson> mhr: or look at the FILES section of "man dpkg"
[12:00] <jrib> mhr: umm... what exactly do you mean by "package upgrade script"?
[12:01] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? I have setup kdump-tools but dump kernel does not get loaded on manually triggering a crash
[12:03] <mhr> i have a software installed installed in 10.04 LTS, created by someone else earlier, now I need to upgrade the software but the version number i get from dpkg --status is the old one
[12:03] <mhr> i want to update the version number
[12:03] <jrib> mhr: then you need to install a .deb package with the later version; you should not be editing files where dpkg stores information
[12:04] <blackshirt> the version number was used by dpkg metadata ... And used on many place of dpkg internally,you should be carefull
[12:06] <mhr> in the .deb package there must be some file which stores the version number of the package?
[12:06] <jrib> mhr: yes, of course. How did you install the later version?
[12:09] <blackshirt> mhr, yes... That stored on called metadata
[12:10] <Seveas> mhr, there is. a .deb file is an ar archive containing 3 files: data.tar.gz control.tar.gz and debian-binary. control.tar.gz contains metadata such as version info and postinstall scripts
[12:10] <mhr> the software was created by my senior who has left now, and the files i can see the relevant information that dpkg --status shows is inside the control file
[12:11] <Seveas> mhr, to get the data: ar x debfile.here control.tar.gz, and look in control.tar.gz
[12:12] <mhr> thank you all for the help, i will look up in those files

[12:17] <tinysmiley> hi
[12:17] <Rikim4ru> I have what I think is a generic error when trying to compile (make command) software (Merlin for nagios),   could you please provide some insight for fixing this issue?
[12:17] <blackshirt> tinysmiley: hi
[12:17] <Rikim4ru> the error ----  lib/iocache.h : no such file or directory
[12:17] <blackshirt> Rikim4ru: what the error ?
[12:18] <Rikim4ru> when I google for iocache.h , it prompts from diffenrent software also, so I guess this is somehow generic
[12:18] <Rikim4ru> I've installed all the required dependencies..
[12:20] <blackshirt> Rikim4ru: i don't where iocache.c come from ..
[12:20] <_raven_> hi
[12:20] <Rikim4ru> Ok :(
[12:20] <_raven_> how to do port-forwarding via ssh for ALL ports?

[12:21] <Kartagis> how do I tell a p1 patch from a p0 patch?
[12:22] <bazhang>  File iocache.h found in libcherokee-base0-dev  Rikim4ru
[12:23] <Rikim4ru> bazhang! thanks you!

[12:26] <swissman> Hey Cell
[12:26] <SilfenX> Does anyone know if this is possible with UFW from desktop using some kind of GUI for UFW? http://i45.tinypic.com/nnqq2f.png
[12:26] <Kartagis> jrib: the first line says diff --git a/imagecache_canvasactions.module b/imagecache_canvasactions.module
[12:26] <jrib> Kartagis: so there you go
[12:27] <Kartagis> jrib: so, p1 or p0?
[12:27] <jrib> Kartagis: do you understand what p1 and p0 do?
[12:27] <Kartagis> not really
[12:27] <jrib> Kartagis: man patch, scroll down to the description of -p, it's very readable
[12:28] <gerbilcabbagehai> why would I be getting this message "command not found" on running sudo add-apt-repository?
[12:29] <jrib> gerbilcabbagehai: because the command was not found?  You probably need to install python-software-properties
[12:29] <HaikuVbox> !ufw | SilfenX
[12:29] <Kartagis> jrib: so, this is p1
[12:29] <jrib> Kartagis: yes, probably
[12:30] <talsamon> gerbilcabbagehai,  the right command is  apt-add-repository

[12:30] <gerbilcabbagehai> talsamon: ah, thanks. The tutorial is wrong then. :)
[12:30] <gerbilcabbagehai> I thought is strange that it swaps them around
[12:31] <jrib> gerbilcabbagehai: both commands work (on the latest ubuntu anyway)
[12:31] <gerbilcabbagehai> im typing something wrong
[12:31] <SilfenX> HaikuVbox: but is it possbile to set exceptions per nw interface in some similar way to what is show in my screnshot?
[12:32] <HaikuVbox> SilfenX: no idea sorry
[12:32] <gerbilcabbagehai> what does apt stand for?
[12:33] <gerbilcabbagehai> e.g. apt-get

[12:40] <foo357> Hello, I've got a offline computer running 10.04. I manage package installations, updates and whatnot by using keryx. http://keryxproject.org/ ... however I need to add a PPA and get some packages from it, how should I do this?
[12:41] <|Anthony|> foo357, this machine has not internet connection?
[12:41] <gerbilcabbagehai> im having trouble installing handbrake. I followed the instructions on https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases but im doing something wrong. I end up with "command not found" when trying to get it via add-apt-repository, AND via apt-add-repository. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 server. any ideas?
[12:41] <foo357> |Anthony|: nope
[12:41] <|Anthony|> you'll have to use an aptoncd source
[12:43] <foo357> |Anthony|: I think Keryx does pretty much the same thing as aptoncd
[12:43] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:44] <gerbilcabbagehai> nvm. thanks jrib. works now
[12:45] <|Anthony|> foo357, so what's the issue then? get your packages on a disc, add the disc as an apt source, profit. right?
[12:45] <twitchie> !add-apt-repository | gerbilcabbagehai
[12:46] <foo357> |Anthony|: I think it might be enough to add the PPA to the list of sources, they're listed like for example: "deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted" but how should I add an PPA?
[12:47] <Rikim4ru> could someone tell me if my usage of GIT is ok?
[12:47] <Rikim4ru> git clone git://git.op5.org/nagios/merlin.git
[12:47] <Rikim4ru> does this command assure me a full (and latest) download?
[12:47] <twitchie> foo357 that's an archive not a ppa .. if you want to add that archive add it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:48] <foo357> twitchie: how do I add an PP to sources.list?
[12:48] <foo357> PPA*
[12:49] <twitchie> you cannot... a ppa is thought update-manager / software-center or add-apt-repository
[12:49] <twitchie> through*
[12:50] <twitchie> !ppa | foo357
[12:51] <foo357> twitchie: could a online computer download the packages I need from the PPA, not necessarily the identical OS as my offline computer?
[12:52] <BluesKaj> foo357, you can add a ppa with this command , sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nameofppa-ppa/nameofpackage
[12:52] <foo357> BluesKaj: won't work if the pc is offline, which mine is
[12:52] <OerHeks> foo357 i never tried to download from a ppa to add offline...
[12:53] <BluesKaj> foo357, ok then why are you guys even discussing ppa's . you need to be online to use them
[12:54] <foo357> BluesKaj: I need some software that's available in a PPA
[12:54] <twitchie> foo357: yes you cna download the individual .deb files and dependencies if required and transfer them but that is not suggested as the system cannot upgrade to new packages as required.
[12:55] <BluesKaj> looks like your stuck in a no win situation, foo357
[12:56] <twitchie> well a win but lose in the long run situation
[12:56] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? I have setup kdump-tools but dump kernel does not get loaded on manually triggering a crash
[12:57] <twitchie> if the individual packages install without long dependencies
[12:57] <BluesKaj> put the pc online if possible . foo357 or copy the packages to another online pc and copy them to a usb stick for transfer to the offline pc ...

[13:00] <akis> hi all. i have a usb lexmark printer (Z845) without any linux driver. Is there any possibility to make it work under my Xubuntu 12.04?
[13:01] <twitchie> !cups | akis
[13:01] <HaikuVbox> akis: next time get a hp printer
[13:01] <twitchie> don't***************
[13:01] <twitchie> :P
[13:01] <BluesKaj> akis, very doubtful , unless your Lexmark is made for business , they have linux support
[13:03] <akis> i have a samsung and run perfect with any distribution (openSuse or Kubuntu/Xubuntu). This printer was a gift with a desktop PC and i am wondering if i could make it work with my  freshly installed 12.04.
[13:03] <OerHeks> HaikuVbox, my smasung comes without any notification what wants any confirmation, like HP does.
[13:03] <OerHeks> c/samsung
[13:04] <OerHeks> akis samsung works OOTB
[13:05] <Rikim4ru> could someone point me out how to download a software with git?
[13:06] <HaikuVbox> !git | Rikim4ru
[13:06] <BluesKaj> akis, lexmark consumer grade printers have poor support in linux , altho there are some that have drivers available , but very few
[13:06] <OerHeks> there is a nice wiki >>> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git
[13:06] <akis> although there is a compatibility for series Z600 and Z700 there is no one for Z800. I think i will send it for recycle!
[13:06] <Rikim4ru> thanks!

[13:08] <BEC> hey; my 12.04's sound settings doesn't show an hdmi setting (laptop); in 10.04 it did. any idea why?
[13:08] <Rikim4ru> so,
[13:08] <twitchie> nycsd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1995499
[13:08] <Rikim4ru> is " git clone" the correct download command?
[13:09] <twitchie> !git | Rikim4ru
[13:09] <twitchie> !botsnack
[13:09] <Rikim4ru> yes or no could help
[13:10] <auronandace> Rikim4ru: perhaps you could read the documentation
[13:10] <Rikim4ru> I've just read the ubuntu one, and it's more related to create a git store than download the latest rev of a software
[13:11] <SilfenX> why would you need this channel if everyone spent days reading manpages?
[13:12] <|Anthony|> how do i make it such that 2 users can access audio devices at the same time?
[13:12] <|Anthony|> it would be 2 different devices
[13:12] <twitchie> Rikim4ru: in cli "git -h"
[13:13] <BluesKaj> SilfenX, most manpages are barely decipherable for most users anyway
[13:13] <SilfenX> BluesKaj: thats what I m saying - spending days reading ending up feeling it was for nothing
[13:13] <twitchie> they make ppl discombobulated
[13:13] <Rikim4ru> git clone git://git.op5.org/nagios/merlin.git
[13:14] <Rikim4ru> then this is the correct command?
[13:14] <Rikim4ru> It downloaded a folder with the software inside
[13:14] <SilfenX> been there done that - maybe it has to do with my iq tho, but someone with improved iq maybe could take pitty on me answering a question or two
[13:14] <Rikim4ru> is there anything else I have to do to make sure everything is ok?
[13:14] <twitchie> Rikim4ru: I dont know ... what does git -h and man git say?
[13:15] <Rikim4ru> Unkown option -h  hehehe
[13:15] <twitchie> hurm wonder if exec -o still works
[13:15] <BluesKaj> SilfenX, doubt that IQ has much to do with it , knowledge fro experience is usually the case
[13:16] <twitchie> Rikim4ru: then --help
[13:16] <ansii> i have 2 headphone jacks on my laptop its a HP DV6 1152TX , can anyone tell me if i can route different audio on both of them.. as i want to use a DJ software like MIX
[13:16] <auronandace> Rikim4ru: perhaps you can ask in #git
[13:16] <ansii> can anyone please help me
[13:16] <ansii> i have 2 headphone jacks on my laptop its a HP DV6 1152TX , can anyone tell me if i can route different audio on both of them.. as i want to use a DJ software like MIX
[13:17] <OerHeks> ansii, 1 jack = headphone, 1  jack is mic  ?
[13:17] <SilfenX> ansii: then your software shoud display 2 individual audiooutput devices, one for each output, if that would be possible
[13:18] <|Anthony|> ansii, click on the sound settings panel icon
[13:18] <ansii> OerHeks no.. tis laptop as 1 jack = head phone, 2 jack  = another head phone and 3 jack  =  mic
[13:18] <|Anthony|> ansii, select the playback tab
[13:18] <OerHeks> ansii 2nd jack might be line out then
[13:18] <|Anthony|> ansii, find the program(s) that are playing audio
[13:19] <ansii> OerHeks this is my laptop and i can hear audio from both jacks
[13:19] <|Anthony|> ansii, select the output source from the drop down beside the application and change it
[13:19] <ansii> Anthony there are 2 entries one is Digital output (S/PDIF) and other is Speakers (Duilt in audio)
[13:20] <mbeierl> ansii, first question: are you sure the audio card in the computer supports two different audio outputs and it's not just duplicating the audio at the hardware level
[13:20] <SilfenX> ansii: you re out of luck then
[13:20] <comp365-Colin> Is there a way of calling external text filters in nano, similar to ! in vim?
[13:20] <agc93> I know this is a long shot, but has anyone here used a Belkin Wireless N ExpressCard with Ubuntu?
[13:20] <ansii> mbeier1 , good question.. but i dont know.. all i know is that this laptop comes with a dual headphone slots
[13:21] <ansii> SilfenX how do i ensure that the right drivers have been installed for my sound card?
[13:21] <SilfenX> ansii: it s like a seat on an airplane, co-hearing
[13:21] <|Anthony|> ansii, open a terminal
[13:21] <|Anthony|> ansii, type aplay -l
[13:21] <BluesKaj> agc93, usb wifi ?
[13:21] <ansii> aplay -l
[13:21] <|Anthony|> ansii, that will list the audio devices available
[13:22] <ansii> its shows 3 devices
[13:22] <|Anthony|> don't use /exec aplay -l in chat here lol
[13:22] <SilfenX> ansii: you know you have the right driver for your audiohardware if it plays audio, mroe or less
[13:22] <|Anthony|> ansii, can you discern which devices are which?
 should i past it here?
[13:23] <|Anthony|> you can also use aplay -L that will show the device names in a more human readable way
[13:23] <BluesKaj> !paste
[13:24] <SilfenX> if your particular DJ software supports multiple outputs, then maybe you shoudl have a lookaround in the programs audiohardware preferences and see if you can select spdif as one output and the analog out jack as a 2nd output - experimental but maybe it could work
[13:24] <ansii> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216697/
[13:25] <|Anthony|> calm down now. the kernel has to recognize the hw before a dj app will be able to utilize it
[13:25] <ansii> |Anthony|  BluesKaj here it is

[13:25] <kbk1> UFW question. If I 'default deny outgoing' on my machine, I can no longer browse the internet. Any possible explanations?
[13:25] <SilfenX> ansii: then you d need a way of getting that spdif signal into your amp which would need to go through a hardware mixer forst
[13:26] <kbk1> FWIW, someone played with the iptables at some point. Here is that output: http://pastebin.com/pQT02eqF
[13:26] <BluesKaj> ansii, you have no sound at all ?
[13:26] <ansii> but is there someway to know that my 2 headphone audio jack are independant or not?
[13:27] <SilfenX> if you hear the same audio in them they are
[13:27] <|Anthony|> ansii, i'm thinking that they are mirrored outputs
[13:27] <|Anthony|> but you can test this
[13:27] <Sidewinder1> I haven't been following, sorry; someone has provided the 'sound factoid', have they not?
[13:27] <ansii> BluesKaj sometimes the sound dosent play.. like in the hardware test under settings.. when i ran the audio test no sound came out
[13:28] <|Anthony|> with aplay -D plughw:n,n /usr/share/alsa/sounds/Front_Center.wav
[13:28] <BEC> my 12.04's sound settings doesn't show an hdmi setting (laptop); in 10.04 it did. any idea why?
[13:28] <ansii> |Anthony| shit.. how did u get to  know that!!!
[13:28] <BEC> anyone ?
[13:28] <BluesKaj> ansii, install pavucontrol , for setting your audio inputs and outputs
[13:28] <twitchie> anyone use me-tv with hdhomerun in aust?
[13:29] <SilfenX> ansii: do you have an external audio mixer? If you dont, you d need a way to play back/mix both hardware outputs simultanesly in some other fashion before hitting the amp
[13:29] <ansii> SilfenX have u worked on mixxx?
[13:29] <SilfenX> ansii: why dont yo ujust use the DJ software to mix your tracks in software and playback the already mixed output?
[13:29] <|Anthony|> ansii, look at lines 52 and 55 of your pastebin
[13:30] <SilfenX> ansii: no, I havent used mixxx, sry
[13:30] <twitchie> any1 using cinnamon on 12.04?
[13:30] <twitchie> !ot > twitchie
[13:30] <auronandace> twitchie: its not supported here
[13:30] <|Anthony|> ansii, those are the 2 intel HDA devices. one is the onboard audio (builtin speakers) which iirc is shared by the headphone output jack. the other i think is the spdif
[13:30] <SilfenX> I have used Logic Audio tho on an ASIO compatible soundcard with 8 chan breakoutbox
[13:30] <BEC> what about a flickering video?

[13:32] <lil_Worker> can i compile a 64bit binary on 32bit unbuntu install?
[13:32] <lil_Worker> well, simply adding the -m64 flag
[13:32] <ansii> |Anthony| let me tell u that i am aspiring to be a DJ and i want to start off with UBUNTU mixxx and other open source apps.. but the requirement is a 2 different output from laptop
[13:33] <mcatch> can someone explain to me the reasoning behind having to type "./myProrgam" to execute it from the terminal instead of just "myProrgam"? Is it because linux distributions try to obtain package information for all non-directory based terminal lines?
[13:33] <|Anthony|> ansii, you're going to have to use some pulseaudio magic. and let me tell you... getting it to work as expected is a royal pita
[13:33] <|Anthony|> ansii, do you have an outboard amp that you could hook up to the spdif?
[13:34] <agc93> mcatch: If it was in your PATH you wouldnt need the slash
[13:34] <ansii> there is no SPDIF but there is only a HDMI output on this laptop
[13:34] <agc93> Ubuntu searches your PATH for non-directory commands
[13:34] <ansii> |Anthony|  there is no SPDIF but there is only a HDMI output on this laptop
[13:34] <Muelli> mcatch: It's because of the PATH. An environment variable listing directories that your shell searches executables in. You could set PATH to "." for the current directory but that's highly frowned upon.
[13:34] <BluesKaj> ansii, type alsamixer in the terminal, take a screenshot and paste it to www.imagebin.org

[13:36] <daviddoria> I was getting "expired credentials" errors from Pidgin this morning. When I logged into the google page that pidgin popped up and did my 2-step verification, it said it was going to access Docs, Contacts, etc. Does it really need access to all of these things? I just want to make sure this is a legit operation and not some weird fishing thing

[13:38] <BEC> the name might have changed!

[13:39] <|Anthony|> ansii, well, the hdmi is really for video
[13:40] <zykotick9> mcatch: and, it's not "non-directory" it looks for - it looks for executable.
[13:40] <ansii> yes sir there is a ATI radeon card also on this laptop
[13:40] <|Anthony|> ansii, you can get audio over it, but it's not its primary purpose
[13:40] <d00durk00l> ifupdown cannot be edited in the connections menu and that and auto eth0 are listed... Does that sound a little odd to anyone?
[13:40] <d00durk00l> could that be malware?
[13:40] <ansii> |Anthony| really sir?? how can i make it possible??
[13:40] <twitchie> |Anthony|: that is not true .. HDMI is built for Video Audio and Ethernet
[13:41] <d00durk00l> hdmi can use ethernet as well?
[13:41] <twitchie> yes

[13:44] <zykotick9> polysics: are you giving "gnome-terminal -e /full/path/to/script" and is the script executable?  is the cd "required"?
[13:44] <polysics> the cd is required because of some relative paths I can't change atm
[13:44] <polysics> and yes, I would say the path is correct
[13:45] <polysics> what's weird is taht running gnome-terminal -e /full/path in another terminal works

[13:56] <polysics> in fact, it seems that no autorun at all works here

[13:56] <ansii> BluesKaj  i am an aspiring dj but dont have the money and experience to buy hardware, so i am starting with applications like mixxx and other software that requre 2 audio outputs
[13:58] <ansii> BluesKaj hence i am trying to explore the possibilities to extract two different and independant audio streams outta my laptop.. i believe UBUNTU was created by god hence it could be possible here, Windows sucks

[14:02] <Sailor_Moon> how many megabites can open these editors?
[14:02] <ikonia> depends on your ram
[14:02] <ikonia> as much as your ram can deal with
[14:03] <Sailor_Moon> ikonia, 16 mb ram, freedos
[14:03] <BluesKaj> ansii, you don't want 2 outputs , but you do want to switch between 2 sources on the laptop for the music , correct?
[14:03] <ikonia> Sailor_Moon: then 16MB
[14:03] <ikonia> Sailor_Moon: freedos has nothing to do with this
[14:03] <ikonia> Sailor_Moon: you're running ubuntu
[14:03] <Sailor_Moon> ikonia, thank you very much!
[14:04] <Sailor_Moon> ikonia, a half of freedos program ported from ubuntu/linux)
[14:04] <ikonia> Sailor_Moon: freedos has nothing to do with your ubuntu text editors
[14:04] <Guest53273> hi everyone, i have a doubt. what command i write on launcher, to start a sh file?
[14:05] <Sailor_Moon> so i think there is these editors ported to freedos; i shell see ibiblio.org
[14:05] <ansii> BluesKaj output 1 will be the main out put out put 2 so i can hear or premix tracks to set to the right cue point
[14:05] <XMENDES> hi everyone, i have a doubt. what command i write on launcher, to start a sh file?
[14:05] <ikonia> Sailor_Moon: freedos has nothing to do with your ubuntu text editors
[14:06] <XMENDES> i have one line on terminal " /sudo something..." how transform to a launcher file on my desktop?
[14:06] <XMENDES> this file is on the root directory
[14:06] <kdsmain> ok so...before I realized that there was an xml file which is responsible for showing the available wallpapers in the "Wallpapers" tab in Appearance, I deleted all of the standard pictures. Is my computer going to catch fire?
[14:06] <Sailor_Moon> ikonia, bye! lucky!
[14:06] <XMENDES> anyone
[14:06] <XMENDES> ?
[14:06] <ansii> BluesKaj !!??
[14:07] <BluesKaj> ansii , ok then that's a software setting you have to figure out in mixx or whatever the  app is you're using ...I'm not familiar with them
[14:07] <vect0ry> XMENDES: for starters you could try putting the line in a textfile and change the permissions to executable, maybe add #!/bin/bash at the top or ...
[14:07] <ansii> ok.. are there any good external usb soundcards that would work on ubuntu?
[14:08] <m3pow> if i have an *.rb file with methods. how can i require that file into IRB so i can use those methods
[14:08] <vect0ry> XMENDES: but dont call it sudo
[14:08] <m3pow> quit
[14:08] <BEC> |Anthony|, I did that & it works; when I connected the cable, the HDMI option appeared in the settings; when removed it was gone!
[14:09] <BEC> |Anthony|, I guess there's no problem then?!
[14:09] <XMENDES> i have to put this file on /bin/bash  ??
[14:09] <XMENDES> this file is on my home directory
[14:09] <stef-> cine e owner aici
[14:09] <tanveerubuntu> guys need help
[14:09] <tanveerubuntu> can someone tell me
[14:09] <BEC> |Anthony|, speaking of which I believe I have a video bug or smthg; when playing vid's the image flickers every 3~4 seconds!

[14:09] <tanveerubuntu> here is the directory cd /minecraft/world/mcmmo_data    i am trying to delete mcmmo_data
[14:09] <tanveerubuntu> can someone help me asap please
[14:10] <BluesKaj> ansii, yes , m-audio has some very good ones , I use a m-audio pci card and it has great sound and it's very floexible , but they are a bit pricey ...ebay has them for decent prices if you don't mind "used"
[14:10] <m3pow> did it start the countdown sequence to blow up ,,, what's the rush ?
[14:10] <BEC> tanveerubuntu, what exactly do u need?
[14:10] <XMENDES> when i wrot on terminal  sh file.xx .. its starts
[14:10] <Marzata> tanveerubuntu: pls, write to ubuntu-asap channel
[14:10] <XMENDES> but on launcher no.
[14:11] <|Anthony|> BEC, there is a known issue with HDMI video. when sound cuts out the video source does as well
[14:11] <tanveerubuntu> BEC:  hi im trying to delete a folder using terminal
[14:11] <|Anthony|> but only for a seconf
[14:11] <tanveerubuntu> BEC:  because my vps ends like now i have to delete some folders and back everything up
[14:11] <tanveerubuntu> BEC: cd /minecraft/world/mcmmo_data   <------  that folder
[14:12] <Rikim4ru> how can I add the LDFLAGS+=  to a "make" command?
[14:12] <polysics> zykotick9: owe you a couple beers
[14:13] <XMENDES> vectory ... it works .. i only remove "sudo" from file and it starts.. tks a lot man
[14:13] <XMENDES> regards guys.
[14:13] <XMENDES> bye
[14:15] <phantomcircuit> what's a good way to take a video of the desktop? (like a screenshot but video)
[14:16] <obi> recordmydesktop
[14:16] <|Anthony|> recordmydesktop just works, but is heavier than using ffmpeg
[14:17] <crizis> recordmydesktop, ye
[14:17] <auronandace> !info gtk-recordmydesktop | phantomcircuit
[14:18] <BEC> |Alexia_Death|, "when sound cuts out the video source does as well" could u explain more plz?
[14:18] <BEC> |Anthony|, "when sound cuts out the video source does as well" could u explain more plz?
[14:18] <Rikim4ru> how can I add the LDFLAGS+=  to a "make" command?
[14:19] <Dev-Brian> hello
[14:19] <|Anthony|> it's a glitch. i don't know the details of causation, but if an audio signal gets interrupted the video will cut out for a second
[14:19] <|Anthony|> BEC ^
[14:20] <crizis> Rikim4ru, export LDFLAGS+=your flags
[14:20] <Rikim4ru> crizis, i should just exec this before the make command?
[14:20] <crizis> Rikim4ru, yes. it's a shell variable
[14:20] <Rikim4ru> ok
[14:20] <peetaur> when I run "aptitude install" it asks to install 552 packages, but "apt-get install" does not want to install anything. How can I clear this nonsense from aptitude?
[14:20] <crizis> Rikim4ru, export LFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -yourflags should work too
[14:21] <Rikim4ru> what does a flag look like? (sorry for being noob)
[14:21] <Rikim4ru> i'm looking to link it to /usr/lib/libdbi
[14:21] <Rikim4ru> is this my flag?
[14:22] <BEC> |Anthony|, ah; speaking of vid; do you know why installing mplayer requires the following nvidia packages: nvidia-vdpau-driver | nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32 | vdpau-driver (I have an ATI card!)?
[14:22] <Rikim4ru> export LFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -/usr/lib/libdbi     ?
[14:22] <pankaj> hi there
[14:22] <alvis> hi everybody
[14:23] <alvis> exit
[14:23] <|Anthony|> BEC, probably because the installer isn't smart enough to detect hardware and make deps based on that. pre-compiled packages need to be done such that it is broad enough to support *most* hardware
[14:25] <BEC> |Anthony|, so should I Y the installer? or keep them back?
[14:25] <BEC> doesn't cause any conflict??
[14:25] <genii-around> BEC: Another reason could be that your default settings for packages have "Install Suggested Packages" set to on, since libvdpau1 which is a required dependency has those nvidia vdpau packages as "Suggested"
[14:25] <BEC> if installed?
[14:26] <|Anthony|> BEC, listen to genii-around
[14:26] <BEC> genii-around, I guess so; how do I turn it off?
[14:27] <BEC> genii-around, I sometimes use --no-install-recommends. What are these suggesed/recommended packages? I searched about them but couldn't find an answer! :S
[14:28] <BEC> genii-around, actually i did find stuff about it, but didn't quite understand them :S
[14:28] <peetaur> aha figured it out.... apt-get remove aptitude ; apt-get purge aptitude ; apt-get install aptitude
[14:28] <jrib> peetaur: blasphemy
[14:28] <peetaur> howso?
[14:28] <genii-around> BEC: You can make a file /etc/apt/apt.conf  and put in it: APT::Install-Suggests "0";
[14:28] <mindstorm> lol
[14:28] <jrib> peetaur: bad joke.  I wonder how aptitude purge aptitude would behave
[14:28] <peetaur> it was a traitor; it had to go
[14:29] <genii-around> Apologies on lag, work is taking up much of my time at the moment
[14:29] <jrib> peetaur: you know aptitude is broken on multi-arch?
[14:29] <peetaur> yes I know... one of many reasons I hate aptitude
[14:29] <peetaur> I only like "aptitude search" better than "apt-cache search"
[14:29] <BEC> genii-around, is it a good behavior to do so (i.e; opt out suggestions permanently )?
[14:30] <jrib> peetaur: same, I wish that aptitude search would replace apt-cache's
[14:30] <peetaur> also there's "aptitude moo"
[14:30] <BEC> |Anthony|, btw, the flickering isn't HDMI related; it is my system!
[14:31] <peetaur> ah but apt-get has a moo, just a different one.
[14:31] <mindstorm> super-moo
[14:31] <BEC> |Anthony|, now I discovered the related cause u mentioned: modifying sound amplitute causes more flickering!
[14:32] <genii-around> BEC: If you only want to opt out on a one-time basis, you can issue the apt-get command with the option in the command line as well, like: sudo apt-get intstall -o APT::Install-Suggests=0 <packagename>
[14:33] <genii-around> BEC: I find it easier just to set the Recommends and Suggests settings off in apt.conf so that unnecessary cruft doesn't get installed, especially on server systems where installing something like ffmpeg with those settings on will result in X being installed, etc
[14:36] <BEC> genii-around, same result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216810/

[14:37] <thunderdogger> I was wondering if there was anyway to check for malware on ubuntu?

[14:39] <|Anthony|> xion, run you command like this: ps aux > somefile.txt
[14:39] <mnice> thanks
[14:40] <genii-around> BEC: Very odd though that with Suggests off it still wants those. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libvdpau1 does not show them as required.
[14:40] <OerHeks> mnice command not possible, join #fedora or any other rpm based distro
[14:40] <mnice> OerHeks: reread again and again until you understand please
[14:41] <tsimpson> mnice: just use apt-cache, apt-cache show <package>
[14:41] <mnice> OerHeks: "would anyone pastebin for me a analogical command in ubuntu as ``rpm -q pulseaudio --requires'' does in rpm systems ? i need to check PAs deps in buntu but i don't have any deb system right now" is there something what you don't undertsand to ?
 <|Anthony|> :thanks for that
[14:41] <mnice> tsimpson: again .. i don't have any .deb system
[14:41] <mnice> sorry
[14:42] <BEC> genii-around, here are all 4 results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216823/
[14:42] <tsimpson> mnice: you are on Ubuntu, you have apt-cache
[14:42]  * |Anthony| nods to xion
[14:43] <mnice> tsimpson: omg, i am not
[14:43] <xion> |Anthony|:hey how can i do that
[14:43] <xion> i want to nod you
[14:43] <tsimpson> mnice: you said "in ubuntu", that command is in ubuntu
[14:43] <shishire> Ubuntu 12.04, I'm having trouble getting a reverse dns record to be recognized as the box's domainname.  The rdns record resolves fine, but running hostname --fqdn returns just the host, not the fqdn, and running domainname returns "(none)"  I've tried adding a search line to /etc/resolve.conf, but that didn't seem to do anything.  Anyone know of a doc that describes how ubuntu searches for it's domainname?
[14:43] <|Anthony|> xion, you type /me nods
[14:43] <mnice> tsimpson: "would anyone pastebin for me a analogical command in ubuntu as ``rpm -q pulseaudio --requires'' does in rpm systems ? i need to check PAs deps in buntu but i don't have any deb system right now" is there something what you don't undertsand to ?
[14:43] <jrib> varun: what software?
[14:43]  * xion nods
[14:43] <varun> xen
[14:43] <peetaur> mnice: I think somehow dpkg should do it ... but I don't know what option.
[14:43] <genii-around> BEC:  Yes, very weird.
[14:43] <tsimpson> mnice: yes, you said "command in ubuntu"
[14:44]  * xion nods |Anthony|
[14:44] <jrib> varun: why not use the packages in the repositories?
[14:44] <jrib> !xen | varun
[14:44] <mnice> peetaur: thanks man :D .. give to me please if you can
[14:44]  * xion laughs
[14:44] <|Anthony|> lol
[14:44] <mnice> tsimpson: i want output from that command
[14:44] <tsimpson> mnice: are you not in Ubuntu?
[14:45] <mnice> NO I AM NOT
[14:45] <tsimpson> mnice: so what OS are you on?
[14:45] <thunderdogger> in rkhunter what do these mean? Checking for passwd file changes                         [ Warning ]
[14:45] <thunderdogger>     Checking for group file changes                          [ Warning ]
[14:45] <BEC> genii-around, should I report a bug of some sort on that?
[14:46] <thunderdogger>  Checking for hidden files and directories                [ Warning ]
[14:46] <thunderdogger>  this also
[14:46] <mnice> tsimpson: please stop asking me for pontless things
[14:46] <varun> ubottu: thanks
[14:46] <mnice> tsimpson: i kindly requested clear foo
[14:46] <tsimpson> mnice: if you're not on Ubuntu, why are you asking in an #ubuntu channel
[14:47] <mnice> would anyone pastebin for me an output from analogical command in ubuntu as ``rpm -q pulseaudio --requires'' does in rpm systems ? i need to check PAs deps in buntu but i don't have any deb system right now
[14:47] <mnice> tsimpson: ^^ are you retarded or so ? sorry for these words .. i can't help out myself
[14:47] <jrib> mnice: use packages.ubuntu.com and please be polite, or that yeah :)
[14:48] <genii-around> BEC: If you use instead: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends <name>     does it still want to install them? ( there are two ways to tell apt-get, one with setting an option with -o and in this case using the --no-install-recommends setting )
[14:48] <varun> jrib: i did install python and python2.7-dev from synaptic package manager..what do u suggest?
[14:48] <jrib> varun: I suggest just installing xen from the repositories
[14:48] <genii-around> BEC: If the --no-install-recommends also fails, then yes, I would consider it a bug
[14:48] <rob_p> mnice: perhaps something along the lines of, "sudo apt-get install -s <package_name> | egrep '^Inst|Conf'" might get you close... Basically does a simulate of the install process for the package, but doesn't really install anything whiile printing to the screen, everything that will be installed (deps, etc.)
[14:48] <varun> how?
[14:48] <killer_> i got grub rescue...plz help
[14:49] <jrib> rob_p: he wasn't on a debian-based system

[15:00] <ansii> HDMI to RCA will ser any good?? for additional sound output ??
[15:00] <BluesKaj> ansii, no , hdmi is a digital signal
[15:00] <bazhang> ansii, sounds like a question for ##hardware
[15:01] <BluesKaj> rca inputs are analog , ansii
[15:01] <ansii> but i see that there is an HDMI to Rca convertor.. can i not use the audio output of it
[15:01] <bazhang> ansii, also, perhaps you mean vga

[15:03] <WormDrink> sorry I keep asking these questions - which might seem stupid - but can anybody think of a good reason to have acpid running on a headless server ?
[15:03] <bazhang> julius_, whats the chipset
[15:04] <bazhang> WormDrink, you may well ask in #ubuntu-server
[15:04] <julius_> julius_: chipset?
[15:04] <bazhang> julius_, usb? lsusb to fin d out
[15:05] <julius_> bazhang: ive looked through some docs until now, but none used the word chipset in combination with a webstick. are we talking about the same thing?
[15:05] <ansii> bazhang can i not uset this HDMI output to stream a nother oudio
[15:06] <bazhang> julius_, is it a wireless usb stick?
[15:06] <julius_> bazhang: no
[15:06] <bazhang> julius_, what do you mean by 'webstick then
[15:06] <julius_> bazhang: its a umts modem
[15:06] <BluesKaj> ansii, be very careful , that doesn't look like it will work , you need a digital to analog converstor to make that work ...hdmi carry digital video audio signals , not analog
[15:07] <wolter> Can somebody help me fix this? "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".\nError: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual" I use an nVidia card with proprietary drivers and everything was working fine until today
[15:07] <julius_> bazhang: on the other hand i didnt know about wireless usb sticks :)
[15:07] <julius_> bazhang: have to reboot and test some things, be back later
[15:09] <Dominik-> Hi Guys, i have truolbes with squid 3.1.19 come with 12.04... is there a way to install "old" Squid package from 10.04 ?
[15:10] <fidel> Dominik-: you shouldnt try to use old packages - i guess troubleshooting and maybe reporting bugs should be the way to go
[15:10] <Dominik-> well i cant get ntlm pass through getting working... i spend alomost 5 hours... and now i need a working squid...
[15:10] <fidel> Dominik-: there is btw: #squid - maybe helpful as well
[15:11] <Dominik-> i idle in there... ... no help (answer) until now
[15:11] <fidel> k
[15:11] <Dominik-> so anyway to "downgrade" squid package?
[15:12] <blackshirt> Dominik-: that was not recommended to downgrade
[15:13] <Dominik-> well not recommended.. but i am "forced" to do it...
[15:13] <fidel> Dominik-: personaly i have never tried to do so - cant help here. have you considered checking if you can get 3.2 instead - ie. using a ppa orcompiling from source to see if the problem still exists?
[15:13] <hylian> I am about to switch over to Ubuntu 64 bit, and I was wondering if any of my backed up .deb files will be of any use, they all have the i386 mark to them...?
[15:14] <blackshirt> just try to download them and install dependencies
[15:14] <Onkeltem> Hi
[15:14] <Dominik-> what is "ppa" ?
[15:14] <blackshirt> Onkeltem: hi
[15:14] <fidel> and in addition: try to summarize the problem in detail so that other users maybe being knowledged more aroundsquid able to jump in and provide help?
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> hylian:theres a trick with dpkg i think to backup your installed packages
[15:14] <fidel> !ppa > Dominik-
[15:15] <fidel> Dominik-: just asking as i see that 12.04 offers squid 3.1 and the project page 3.2
[15:15] <hylian> lotuspsychje: already did that. I made my own script to do it. I need to know if my backed up packages will work for 64 bit, they are 32 bit packages.
[15:15] <Onkeltem> Can I check all the files on computer to verify if they were modified? I mean executables for example.
[15:15] <Dominik-> fidel, the problem is stated several times around the internet... didnt find a solution
[15:15] <MonkeyDust> hylian  this line backups your installed packages   dpkg --get-selections > packages
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> hylian:no 64bit got its own packages,
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> hylian  this line to recover them    sudo dpkg --set-selections < packages;sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -y
[15:16] <hylian> MonkeyDust: um, I already know how to do that, and my post had nothing to do with asking how to back up packages. my post had to do with whether or not 32 bit packages will work at all with 64 bit ubuntu.
[15:17] <Winshing_Master> there is entry in the /etc/modules file "LP"; any clue what that is?
[15:17] <blackshirt> Winshing_Master: line printer, maybe ...
[15:17] <blackshirt> :D
[15:18] <Onkeltem> How to check signatures of all the files on a computer?
[15:18] <_DanN_> md5sum ?
[15:18] <Winshing_Master> blackshirt: whats a line printer? never seen 1
[15:18] <billc> lol
[15:19] <blackshirt> Onkeltem: md5sum or sha256sum
[15:19] <Onkeltem> blackshirt: I want to check all files with one command
[15:19] <Onkeltem> backslash: to be sure files were not modified
[15:20] <hylian> MonkeyDust: sorry man. i get a lot of people here though that don't actually read my question all the way through, and post to me something I have already known for eons. but, I need to learn more patience with people, so please forgive me.
[15:21] <blackshirt> Winshing_Master: maybe not a line printer :D sorry, lol .. that come from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/lp.ko
[15:21] <Boondoklife> Onkeltem You have hashes of every file on your computer?
[15:21] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: I don't know, I asking it
[15:21] <Boondoklife> no prob
[15:21] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: can Ubuntu check itself?
[15:22] <Boondoklife> you have to have a existing signature to compare it to
[15:22] <Boondoklife> so doing an md5 of each file is pointless
[15:22] <Boondoklife> best thing to do would be to check the mtime of the files
[15:22] <Boondoklife> but that can be faked
[15:22] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: I understand that, but I think there should be a way with apt/dpk
[15:22] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: does they keep md5 of every file?
[15:23] <Onkeltem> do*
[15:23] <Boondoklife> No, they keep them for packages as a whole I believe
[15:23] <tsimpson> each package comes with md5sums of installed files
[15:23] <Boondoklife> there ya go Onkeltem :-)
[15:24] <jluc> hello
[15:24] <jluc> Is there any  tool that might be used to define keyboard shortcut for scribus actions ?
[15:24] <Onkeltem> tsimpson: yes, that is what I exptected. So how to perform this integrity check?
[15:25] <Boondoklife> Check here: http://kemovitra.blogspot.com/2010/07/checking-integrity-of-debianubuntu.html
[15:25] <ubuntuuser1> i just installed phpmyadmin.....the page for phpmyadmin opens after i type localhost/phpmyadmin......it then asks for the password but doesnt accept any...whats the problem?can anybody help??
[15:25] <tsimpson> Onkeltem: well you'd pass each list of sums to md5sum (from /), eg: "cd /; md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.md5sums"
[15:26] <tsimpson> do that for all the *.md5sums you find, and see what pops up
[15:26] <Boondoklife> looks like it would be a long, painfull process
[15:26] <black_13> in the grub menu what partition does (hd0,1) reference to?
[15:26] <Boondoklife> the second one of the first drive
[15:27] <Onkeltem> Damnit, I think my Ubuntu is compromised :(
[15:27] <ubuntuuser1> Onkeltem: i just installed phpmyadmin.....the page for phpmyadmin opens after i type localhost/phpmyadmin......it then asks for the password but doesnt accept any...whats the problem?can u help??
[15:27] <Onkeltem> And I can't check is this true or not? :(
[15:27] <blackshirt> ubuntuuser1: you should remember what is the password.. or you can use user root of mysql and respective password
[15:27] <Boondoklife> then reinstall and use your backup that you made.
[15:28] <ubuntuuser1> blackshirt: i typed the password which i set but it doesnt accept any
[15:28] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: last installation took 2 weeks
[15:28] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: I have no time
[15:28] <Boondoklife> Well you have a baseline backup, no?
[15:28] <ubuntuuser1> blackshirt: i reinstalled phpmyadmin again and set new password and tried but the same problem
[15:28] <Boondoklife> If not I feel for ya man, call it a lesson learned
[15:29] <blackshirt> ubuntuuser1: what is the error appeared ? some wrong user name and  password ?
[15:29] <sinan> I am stuck in a loop in my login screen: whenever i provide my password i am taken back to the login screen. what can i do?
[15:29] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: how can backup help if I don't know what to look for
[15:29] <k4r1m> anyone knows how to resole " wine1.5 : Depends: wine1.5-i386 (= 1.5.13-0ubuntu1)" when installing wine1.5?
[15:29] <Boondoklife> Onkeltem, a backup would allow you to backup your data and restore the OS
[15:29] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: how would I know when mware was got into the system?
[15:29] <Boondoklife> Then you could put your data back in place
[15:30] <Boondoklife> Do it anytime something like that happens here via clonezilla and PXE
[15:31] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: I had time yet to work out appropriate backup solution
[15:31] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife:  can you recommend one?
[15:31] <Boondoklife> Clonezilla is great
[15:31] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: is it using some server on the Internet?
[15:31] <Boondoklife> make a baseline back of your OS, before you start putting data into it
[15:31] <ubuntuuser1> blackshirt: it says the control info u set are not correct......so i removed the package phpmyadmin......
[15:31] <Boondoklife> you can have it on a boot cd/usb or network boot via PXE
[15:32] <blackshirt> ubuntuuser1: i have phpmyadmin too ... i can login with mysql user (root) and the phpmyadmin user created when install
[15:32] <Boondoklife> it is very robust
[15:32] <Anomie21> I've moved my computer to a different desk and my taskbar is at a weird resolution, It's only letting me select from 2 resolution settings in appearance - any ideas? (was working fine before the move with the same comp/monitor) ?
[15:32] <blackshirt> ubuntuuser1: i think something bogus on your installation
[15:33] <michinao> hi
[15:33] <ubuntuuser1> blackshirt: i already removed the package.....now is there any better option to install again as per u know???
[15:34] <Onkeltem> Boondoklife: thanks. But currently I have no additional LAN servers/data storages :(
[15:35] <Boondoklife> Onke sounds like your setup needs some planning desperately.
[15:35] <Boondoklife> I would sit down and sketch up a reliable setup
[15:36] <estudiante> tyruihf
[15:36] <Boondoklife> For your issue at hand though, if you really feel you've been compromised then a reinstall is the only 100% sure way to get rid of it

[15:37] <kriston1> Anyone ever get Remote Desktop to work without having to disable desktop composition?
[15:37] <ubuntuuser1> blackshirt: i installed it from software center again.......and it asks for username and password......is there any default username and password??

[15:50] <Okan_> hey guys
[15:50] <Okan_> I need a help
[15:50] <bazhang> Okan_, with what
[15:50] <Okan_> about ubuntu 12.04
[15:51] <bazhang> Okan_, whats the issue
[15:51] <ougogo> Hello, how to install the driver "b43-fwcutter" on lubuntu, knowing that there is no internet connection? This is mostly due to dependencies that I do not know how.
[15:51] <Okan_> so I got 2 disks on my ultrabook
[15:51] <Okan_> 1 is hdd 1 is ssd
[15:51] <Okan_> my win7 is on hdd
[15:51] <bazhang> Okan_, all on ONE line
[15:52] <Okan_> I wanted to install ubuntu on ssd driver, I choosed Something Else created all partitions on ssd. When I reboot win7 started, I could not add ubuntu on bootloader
[15:52] <deffrag> How can I check if a particular command/process is run on/after every boot?
[15:52] <dr_willis> ougogo:  easy way it to just run a cable/plug in to lan for a few min. otherwise it may take a lot more work
[15:53] <dr_willis> Okan_:  you pur grub on thr mbr of the ssd?
[15:53] <Okan_> here is my Disks http://i48.tinypic.com/2dr6lj7.png
[15:53] <ougogo> dr_willis : i've no lan box, i'm on friend wifi
[15:53] <Okan_> I have no idea of that
[15:53] <auronandace> Okan_: change the boot oder of your disks in the bios
[15:53] <dr_willis> you  did set bios to boot the ssd hd?
[15:53] <Okan_> Maybe I am doing something wrong after I choose Something Else*
[15:53] <dr3mro> hello , is there a way to make dolphin (Qt) the default File manager in Ubuntu 12.04 ? will that give a stable system ?
[15:54] <francispereira> anyone has kdump working on Ubuntu 12.04 ? I have setup kdump-tools but dump kernel does not get loaded on manually triggering a crash
[15:54] <dr_willis> dr3mro:  i bet it would cause a lot of little  issues..
[15:54] <Boondoklife> deffrag, is it a compiled app or script? If it is a script add an echo "RAN" > /tmp/startup.checker to it
[15:54] <Okan_> Maybe I can change the boot the ssd. but then I wont load Win7 I guess?
[15:54] <Boondoklife> if it is a compiled app check and see if it has a logging option and turn it on
[15:54] <beboj> need heelp, wvdial dosen't detect my internal gsm modem..
[15:54] <dr_willis> Okan_:  grub has  a menu to boot either os
[15:54] <Boondoklife> that should tell you when it is started
[15:54] <ubuntuuser1> bazhang: when i open phpmyadmin....and type the username and password it says "#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server" how to solve the problem??
[15:55] <BluesKaj> dr3mro, kde desktop or unity/gnome ?
[15:55] <Boondoklife> deffrag, otherwise just use `ps -Al | grep "appname"` and see if it is listed
[15:55] <dr3mro> dr_willis, Thank you ! I will then Move to KDE as it has a more suitable to my needs file manager .. thank you !
[15:57] <rabbi1> can someone help me with permission for /var/www and its folders ?
[15:57] <rabbi1> owner should be root or me ? and group should be www-data ?
[15:58] <jrib> rabbi1: that's up to you
[15:58] <jrib> rabbi1: you probably want www-data to be able to read most of what's in there, everything else, is up to you and what works best for your circumstances
[15:58] <rabbi1> jrib: i am unable to create a folder/ edit inside /www ..... so 777 is ok ?
[15:58] <blackshirt> rabbi1: www-data
[15:59] <blackshirt> rabbi1: that was not recommended lol
[15:59] <jrib> rabbi1: 777 is usually not what you want.  How many users will be editing the files in /var/www/?
[15:59] <morsnowski> rabbi1, out of the box I see root and root
[15:59] <morsnowski> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 Jun 25 01:21 index.html
[16:00] <rabbi1> morsnowski: root root with rwx access and others will be www-data with 755 access ?
[16:00] <deffrag> Thanks Boondoklife
[16:00] <morsnowski> like said this is what i get out of the box
[16:01] <BEC> genii-around, could you please post again what to edit (.conf?) reg suggestions/recommendations? (i quit & lost the history)
[16:01] <rabbi1> morsnowski: that's out of box, but i can create a directory or file
[16:02] <blackshirt> rabbi1: thats a bad thing, sure
[16:03] <morsnowski> as long as you grant read to everyone you should be good
[16:04] <rabbi1> morsnowski: this is my development pc, i alone use it., so no probs
[16:05] <blackshirt> rabbi1: it is a bad habit,sure
[16:05] <Thisguy_> Hey, I can't figure IPtables out and all the tutorials I've found seem to be outdated. How can I firewall out everything except a specific port?
[16:05] <lotus> hey, I'm trying to add a printer that's on a samba network and I don't know where on the network it is.  The "Find Network Printer" tool doesn't seem to be detecting it either.  Any help?
[16:05] <rabbi1> so i think i can chmod 777 username .... ? but also i need www-data to add/ edit/ delete files
[16:05] <rabbi1> blackshirt: so, what's the best then ?
[16:05] <DeltaWhy> I installed cinnamon from this guide a few days ago: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-cinnamon.html
[16:06] <DeltaWhy> today it crashed leaving me with no panel or wm, and when I restarted they still don't run
[16:06] <lotus>
[16:06] <HaikuVbox> DeltaWhy: cinnamon isn't supported
[16:06] <lotus>
[16:06] <DeltaWhy> anywhere I can go to get help with it then?
[16:06] <lotus>   ugh!
[16:07] <awole20> (it is gorgeous though)
[16:07] <Thisguy_> I need help allowing only specific ports on iptables and dropping everything else. Am I in the right channel?
[16:08] <feep_> hi
[16:08] <Thisguy_> Hello.
[16:09] <DeltaWhy> trying to start it from the command line I get "undefined symbol: meta_prefs_override_preferences_location"
[16:10] <feep_> you can use google..
[16:11] <Sidewinder1> !google > feep
[16:11] <feep_> Er..
[16:11] <Sidewinder1> Oops. :(
[16:11] <feep_> - -#
[16:11] <DeltaWhy> feep_, doesn't return any results
[16:12] <feep_> ok.i get it
[16:13] <feep_> you have a red name.
[16:13] <bzil> Hi, How can i join a french canal please ?
[16:14] <jrib> bzil: /join #ubuntu-fr
[16:14] <bzil> thanks
[16:14] <theadmin> Okay, I'm experiencing a weird issue. I'm on Precise. All the powermanagement checkboxes are unchecked, except laptop lid event handling... Now, the problem is this -- after literally *seconds* of idling, the screen turns off.
[16:14] <jrib> theadmin: output of "xset q"
[16:14] <Thisguy_> Lol, a french Canal :P
[16:15] <jrib> Thisguy_: take off shoes and jump in?
[16:15] <chamunks> is there a good way to convert /dev/video0 to something streaming?
[16:15] <theadmin> jrib: http://sprunge.us/aLUT
[16:15] <chamunks> I want to use my webcam with zoneminder and am wondering if there is a way to handle this in ubuntu.
[16:15] <Thisguy_> I need some help working with IPtables.
[16:16] <Thisguy_> Any takers?
[16:16] <jrib> theadmin: did you set those dpms times?  Those are in seconds
[16:16] <chamunks> I'm running 12.04 lts server i386
[16:16] <theadmin> jrib: I'm pretty sure I don't know what "DPMS" is, so probably not...
[16:16] <jrib> theadmin: the third line from the bottom in your paste
[16:17] <theadmin> jrib: Do see it -- um, so how do I fix it? System Settings -> Power Management of KDE is no help.
[16:17] <theadmin> jrib: To be precise (no pun intended): http://i.imgur.com/5rwi4.png
[16:18] <jrib> theadmin: I don't know where those settings are exposed in the gui (though I am sure they are somewhere).  You can set them with: xset dpms X Y Z    where X, Y, and Z are in seconds.  These settings will *not* persist after a reboot I think
[16:18] <jrib> theadmin: try changing them now to something like 600 (10 minutes) so we can make sure we are looking in the right place for your issue
[16:18] <theadmin> jrib: Making them persist is not an issue, I can just put it in start up apps... Can I disable this screen madness *completely*? I don't want my screen to go blank at all... except maybe on lid close
[16:19] <theadmin> jrib: Ok, I'll do that and wait a minute -- should I run that as root?
[16:19] <jrib> theadmin: I use "xset dpms 0 0 0".  There may also be a way to just disable dpms altogether, but I'd have to read the man page.  You should run it as your user (no sudo)
[16:21] <theadmin> jrib: Ok, that worked, now to put that in startup apps... Still wonder what the reason could've been
[16:21] <hellslinger> hello everyone, does anyone know how to get nautilus 3.5.90 installed on quantal? I installed the beta an updated it, but nautilus is still on 3.4.2
[16:21] <jrib> theadmin: you can drop it at the end of ~/.xprofile (MAYBE).  I don't remember if that still gets sourced
[16:21] <genii-around> BEC: I had to do some work, available for a few minutes now. The file you want to edit/create is /etc/apt/apt.conf  ... the relevant entry would be: APT::Install-Recommends "0";  If you additionally wanted you can put too: APT::Install-Suggests "0";
[16:22] <theadmin> jrib: System Settings -> Autostart, no need to go complex ways.
[16:22] <auronandace> !12.10 | hellslinger
[16:22] <jrib> theadmin: your definition of complex differs from mine ;)
[16:22] <trism> hellslinger: quantal support in #ubuntu+1, and nautilus was reverted to 3.4 for quantal because there isn't time to adapt to all the changes in 3.5 before the release
[16:22] <jrib> theadmin: but yes, your way should work too
