[08:00] <mysteriousdarren> nick_h: We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch available in ImageMagick 6.7.8-8 Beta by sometime tomorrow. Thanks. that is off of what you posted
[08:01] <nick_h> mysteriousdarren: yeah, but it means that ImageMagick needs to be compiled from source, which is a gargantuan nightmare due to its plugins' dependencies
[08:01] <maujhsn> cheesecakes Good question...I don't have a good answer right now! All I know is that its taking up too much space on my liveUSB!
[08:01] <cheesecakes> ahh
[08:02] <cheesecakes> then maybe back everything up on a different pc and then remove them for the usb
[08:02] <cheesecakes> by everything i mean the pulsefiles
[08:02] <maujhsn> cheesecakes debian packages are really complex!
[08:03] <cheesecakes> not necessarily
[08:05] <maujhsn> cheesecakes...Isn't this redundancy...using mkdir pulseaudiofiles && cp pulse* pulseaudiofiles
[08:05] <cheesecakes> oop i meant mv
[08:05] <cheesecakes> *oops
[08:05] <maujhsn> oops!
[08:06] <maujhsn> I don't know
[08:07] <maujhsn> Gonna have to talk with a pulseaudio guru
[08:09] <cheesecakes> but arent these just the installation files? maujhsn
[08:10] <maujhsn> cheesecakes...yes!
[08:11] <maujhsn> cheesecakes It was a complex buld that took over ten minutes! I watched it unfold in my terminal!
[08:13] <cheesecakes> i think you can safely remove the .deb files
[08:13] <cheesecakes> afaik
[08:19] <theraven> i just tried to change the splash resolution in ubuntu 12.10 x64  by follow the guide here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127851/change-boot-screen-resolution  but it didnt work? is there another way to change the bootscreen resolution?
[08:20] <theraven> the boot screen became messed up after installing ati drivers i should add...
[08:23] <hot2trot> how do I see a different console?  It's something like ctrl + F1 but that doesn't do it... id on't want to see the gui console, I want a command line console
[08:23] <hot2trot> i'm not een sure if "console" is the correct word
[08:23] <x_> hot2trot, ctrl+F7 is gui
[08:23] <x_> assuming X server is listening
[08:23] <hot2trot> so ctrl+F3 will be a command line console?
[08:23] <x_> yup.
[08:23] <hot2trot> x_: thank you kindly
[08:24] <ubuntu> test
[08:26] <rotham> hey

[08:27] <LOUISVENTOLI999> HI MY SKYPE : LOUISVENTOLI999
[08:28] <x_> LOUISVENTOLI999, why does anyone care what your skype is ?
[08:30] <aeon-ltd> wrong chan maybe?
[08:35] <Rad_Ahemn>  GAH! computer troubles! - I upgraded a little server to ubuntu 12.04 and rebooted it by ssh - now it isn't letting me back in. I live remotely to the server (at parents) I think I know the old ip and I can remotely access the router, but it was getting a static ip. I have tried turning it off and on again. any ideas/help?
[08:36] <x_> Rad_Ahemn, describe not letting you in?
[08:36] <Rad_Ahemn> the ssh times out
[08:37] <x_> Rad_Ahemn, if you forwarded the port in the router to a specific IP. but then the IP changes because it is DHCP then you will need to go to the 'clients' page of the router and find out what IP that box is on now and re-forward the port...
[08:40] <x_> Rad_Ahemn, following me?
[08:43] <sw0rdfish-> I can't mount my external usb hdd with read-write ability
[08:43] <Rad_Ahemn> x_, I do but there is nothing that I cannot identify in the DHCP list - but it does just look like wireless stuff, and the computer I want to access is wired
[08:43] <sw0rdfish-> I tried mount -o rw /dev/sdc1 /mnt/hdd3
[08:43] <sw0rdfish-> but still it only got mounted as read-only
[08:44] <x_> sw0rdfish-, mount -o remount,rw
[08:47] <ansel_> holq
[08:47] <ansel_> hola
[08:47] <x_> Rad_Ahemn, ahh I know what happened and you are screwed until you have phys access to the pc
[08:48] <x_> Rad_Ahemn, unless you get one of your parents to do it.
[08:49] <Rad_Ahemn> what needs to be done, as it's a headless server?
[08:51] <sw0rdfish-> x_: ummm you mean like mount -o remount,rw /mnt/hdd3 ?
[08:52] <almoxarife> doesnt anyone use dhcp reservation on routers???? too simple? not enough cli to it?
[08:54] <mike31> hi
[08:54] <mike31> is it possible to create a tar archive from redirected output?
[08:56] <x_> sw0rdfish-, yupp
[09:03] <elena-IK> I want to sync a local directory to a remote server. I want the data to be stored encrypted on the server. I thought about encfs inside sshfs and rsync. But the sshfs encfs combination gives me very poor performance, it uses less than a tenth of available bandwidth (with -o sshfs_sync) or behaves completely erratic (without -o sshfs_sync). Any alternatives?

[09:31] <heoyea> chroot_: open transmission
[09:32] <chroot_> but it didn't have any speed!
[09:32] <lucido> my wireless mouse that came with the logitech mk220 combo is too sensitive, I've already set the sensitivity to the minimum. What else can be done?
[09:34] <heoyea> chroot_: it takes a bit to get started
[09:35] <chroot_> oh, i understand now, thank you!
[09:35] <franmarc> ciao
[09:35] <franmarc> !list
[09:36] <heoyea> lucido: maybe this ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/135122/reduce-the-mouse-sensitivity
[09:38] <cheesecakes> so anyone know how do i force lightdm to ask for my password when i login
[09:39] <cheesecakes> right now i just get login and when i click on it it logs me in
[09:40] <heoyea> cheesecakes: u have auto login enable?
[09:40] <MonkeyDust> cheesecakes  system settings, user account, unlock, switch off automatic login
[09:41] <cheesecakes> automatic login is disabled
[09:41] <cheesecakes> i see lightdm but i dont get a field to enter my password
[09:43] <cheesecakes> this even happens with gdm
[09:44] <heoyea> cheesecakes: run cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[09:44] <aeon-ltd> cheesecakes: this may help http://askubuntu.com/questions/106428/how-to-disable-automatic-login
[09:46] <cheesecakes> ok thanks
[09:46] <cheesecakes> i'll have a look
[09:46] <nitrohax> hacking war all night. And i still beat him
[09:51] <chakie> could someone go and give fi.archive.ubuntu.com a kick, it doesn't respond
[09:52] <aeon-ltd> chakie: same here
[09:54] <lucido> how can I add an init file to my system that would use xinit to set mouse sensitivity at boot time?
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> chakie  http://downorisitjustme.com/
[09:58] <dr_willis> you could put a script in the users.    .config/autorun lucido
[09:59] <dr_willis> that wouldent affect the login acreen however
[09:59] <chakie> MonkeyDust: well, it's not responding so that's as much as down
[09:59] <chakie>   Could not connect to fi.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111: Connection refused)
[10:00] <nbubuntu> anyone here know where does temp .rar file save ?
[10:01] <x_> nbubuntu, maybe /tmp ?
[10:01] <dr_willis> nbubuntu: may depend on ghe archiver tool also
[10:01] <lucido> dr_willis, I1d like to have it system wide
[10:01] <nbubuntu> I extracted an rar file during the process , I cancel it , but it eats my space during the extraction
[10:02] <lucido> preferably with with a check if that particular mouse is presentű
[10:02] <dr_willis> lucido: lightdm has some config files for things to run. thise may work
[10:03] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : where does the archiver tool located ? under which directory ?
[10:04] <dr_willis> nbubuntu:  i use the cli tools. ive never noticed  any tmp filrs made when extracting. but i rarely use rar's
[10:05] <dr_willis> the unrar command pages may give details
[10:05] <dr_willis> man unrar
[10:05] <Eagleman> How can i get vga std to work with virt-manager?
[10:06] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : you try and delete a file to the trash somewhere 1GB .rar .Open the trash and click the 1GB rar it'll get extracted but after you close it still eats your 1GB somewhere save in some directory
[10:08] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever extracted archives while they are in the trash...
[10:08] <dr_willis> !trash
[10:09] <DrManhattan> Is there a good frontend I can use with Ubuntu to build a router? Not Firestarter, it lacks DMZ capability and I need that
[10:09] <dr_willis> i dont use the gui tools to extract archives either
[10:10] <dr_willis> they are all frontends to configure iptables i think DrManhattan . for the most controll you should learn iptables itself.
[10:11] <dr_willis> i cant recall any "dmz" feature in iptables. but i dont use it a lot.
[10:11] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : can'tfine any cache store location on it. http://www.edenwaith.com/support/untar/help/man/unrar.html
[10:11] <DrManhattan> dr_willis, im spoiled by dd-wrt. It's a shame that dd-wrt isn't a frontend package for ubuntu
[10:12] <DrManhattan> I would be the happiest person ever.
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> DrManhattan  could submit it in !brainstorm
[10:12] <DrManhattan> MonkeyDust, what is that?
[10:13] <dr_willis> http://www.pacificsimplicity.ca/blog/iptables-nat-dmz-example
[10:14] <MonkeyDust> !brainstorm
[10:15] <heoyea> dont think they ever really use stuff from brainstorm
[10:15] <nbubuntu> any help guys ? where does .rar cache save ?
[10:15] <dr_willis> i thing they have snagged a few ideas
[10:16] <heoyea> nbubuntu: maybe in /tmp ?
[10:17] <llutz> !info shorewall|drManhattan:  this maybe helps
[10:17] <llutz> !info shorewall|drManhattan
[10:17] <llutz> !info shorewall | drManhattan
[10:17] <llutz> finally...
[10:17] <DrManhattan> llutz, thank you very much
[10:17] <nbubuntu> heoyea : I checked , it's not there . Anyway to record those cmd or display cmd of extracion for rar file ?
[10:18] <dr_willis> unrar x foo.rar
[10:18] <dr_willis> i see no mention of unrar using any cache/tmp
[10:18] <heoyea> nbubuntu: maybe check ur history or which commands u ran
[10:18] <heoyea> of*
[10:19] <nbubuntu> heoyea : ? rar with command ?
[10:19] <DrManhattan> llutz, hmm, I'm looking for a web interface to iptables
[10:19] <DrManhattan> something like dd-wrt or firestarter
[10:19] <heoyea> nbubuntu: yea like where did u extract it to
[10:19] <llutz> DrManhattan: dd-wrt is much more than an interface to iptables.
[10:19] <DrManhattan> firestarter would work if it had DMZ capability, but it doesn't. I have a Vonage adapter
[10:20] <DrManhattan> llutz, yeah I know, I just want the interface sans the firmware
[10:20] <dr_willis> oops.. its      unrar  e  foo.rar
[10:20] <nbubuntu> heoyea : I just open it from trash and once I close the rar file the cache should be auto delete but it's not , it stay there and eats my 1GB
[10:21] <DrManhattan> llutz, dd-wrt's interface to an ubuntu-based router would rock, especially on something like a quad core box, so I could run a ton of services on it
[10:21] <yhusha> keep on getting error when trying to cd: cd ~/yhusha/RAM_booster_Ubuntu_12.04.sh
[10:21] <yhusha> bash: cd: /home/yhusha/yhusha/RAM_booster_Ubuntu_12.04.sh: No such file or directory
[10:21] <dr_willis> dmz is not just a simple thing.. from what im reading in the iptables guides
[10:21] <DrManhattan> dr_willis, it is on most routers
[10:21] <dr_willis> yhusha: your path is wrong
[10:21] <llutz> DrManhattan: i prefer luci (openwrt) :)
[10:21] <DrManhattan> punch in an ip or mac and apply :)
[10:21] <dr_willis> yhusha: remove the tilda
[10:22] <DrManhattan> llutz, so far so good on dd-wrt but im only running a WAP
[10:22] <dr_willis> yhusha:  /home/yourusername
[10:22] <nbubuntu> heoyea : seems like it's archive manager which I am using to unrar the file
[10:22] <dr_willis> or just the tilda
[10:22] <yhusha> oh yea its same thing
[10:22] <DrManhattan> I suppose I could run the WAP off the ubuntu box instead of a router. That would be pretty easy and I think I CAN do that with basic gui tools
[10:23] <yhusha> cd /home/yhusha/RAM_booster_Ubuntu_12.04.sh
[10:23] <yhusha> bash: cd: /home/yhusha/RAM_booster_Ubuntu_12.04.sh: Not a directory
[10:23] <nbubuntu> heoyea : how to search file size using ubuntu ?
[10:23] <yhusha> but all that info is correctly typed
[10:24] <heoyea> nbubuntu: using the find command
[10:24] <simons> where to get the source code of synaptic pacakage manager help me
[10:25] <dr_willis> yhusha:  its a file.... not a directory
[10:25] <yhusha> right
[10:25] <dr_willis> yhusha: what is rambooster supposed to do?
[10:25] <nbubuntu> heoyea : thanks :)
[10:26] <sweb> how can i increase java memory limit
[10:26] <dr_willis> sounds useless..
[10:26] <sweb> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
[10:26] <almoxarife> rambooster for xp?
[10:26] <almoxarife> or win95?
[10:26] <dr_willis> yhusha:  just 'cd' takes you to your home directory also
[10:29] <nbubuntu> heoyea : thanks , I found it ^_^ , it's under /home/ng/.cache/.fr-biPCXa/\media\67054BAE670C84DA\.Trash-1000\files\C%20C%20%20photo.rar .The folder name .fr-biPCXa  really   -_-" . Thanks guys
[10:29] <heoyea> nbubuntu: cool now u can watch the porn
[10:30] <nbubuntu> heoyea : photo , i rar my photo in it...
[10:30] <heoyea> nbubuntu: sure that too
[10:30] <dr_willis> dirty photos?
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> please...
[10:30] <nbubuntu> heoyea : yep , it's a  yearly photo .
[10:31] <nbubuntu> raw photo .... that isn't a lot
[10:31] <nbubuntu> =-="
[10:31] <dr_willis> what a weird name   C%20
[10:32] <dr_willis> thats a space isent it? ;)
[10:32] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : yep space , I rename wrongly that's why I delete it
[10:32] <dr_willis> c c  photo.rar
[10:32] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : Once I open and check it doesn't remove the cache
[10:33] <dr_willis> i dont see how rars are benifiting you much. ;-)
[10:34] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : C C = carbon copy
[10:35]  * dr_willis wonder who eles is old enough in here to remember what a carbon copy was. ;)
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> from the old days, when we used carbon papers in our typewriters
[10:35] <dr_willis> heh.
[10:36] <dr_willis> 'whats a typewriter?'
[10:36] <almoxarife> no, in the old days we used 'slates'
[10:36] <almoxarife> dr_willis: its a keyboard
[10:37] <dr_willis> i remember old computer books having to clarify that 0 was not the same as O.   :)
[10:37] <cheesecakes> i still use carbon paper
[10:37] <nbubuntu> old ? I though you guys will use it CC at email to more recipients
[10:37] <dr_willis> email - how quaint ;)
[10:38] <almoxarife> email?? too personal, i pastebin it, and send a link via twitter
[10:38] <cheesecakes> i like to encrypt stuff
[10:38] <dr_willis> reply all... yes. i  agree..
[10:38] <cheesecakes> but sadly encrypting is not necessary
[10:38] <almoxarife> require receipt was always fun
[10:39] <cheesecakes> for me
[10:39] <cheesecakes> i wish i was a spy just so i could use encryption in emails
[10:39] <almoxarife> cheesecakes: like putting secret messages in jpg's?
[10:40] <dr_willis> rot13 your irc sessions
[10:40] <cheesecakes> almoxarife: kind of
[10:40] <cheesecakes> more like using encrypted messages which no one else can read
[10:40] <nbubuntu> dr_willis : I mean the rename part C C  photo.rar , anyhow thanks a lot for the help :)
[10:43] <almoxarife> i do use 'roboform' for my internet passwords
[10:45] <heoyea> use keepassx
[10:46] <MeanEYE> Am having problems with nvidia drivers. After removing xorg-edgers ppa and its files, my Xorg can't find nvidia driver anymore.
[10:46] <heoyea> death then
[10:47] <MeanEYE> lol
[10:48] <heoyea> maybe try installing the old 1
[10:48] <MeanEYE> Did that. Tried reconfigure. Tried experimental ones.
[10:48] <MeanEYE> I just get an error that Xorg can't load nvidia driver because it's missing.
[10:49] <heoyea> MeanEYE: nvidias from the same PPA?
[10:49] <MeanEYE> Checking /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers shows no trace of nvidia.
[10:49] <MeanEYE> No, removed PPA, am trying to install ones in Ubuntu repo.
[10:51] <MeanEYE> So confusing. :/
[10:51] <reedos> apt-get install cheese ,but:E: 无法立即对 python2.7-minimal 进行配置。请查看 man 5 apt.conf 中的 APT::Immediate-Configure (2)
[10:53] <heoyea> MeanEYE: let me call up Mark Shuttleworth
[10:53] <bekks> reedos: Unfortunately, we cant read the non-english part of the error message.
[10:54] <MeanEYE> heoyea: right. :) He's not technical enough. Silly thing is everything worked up to a point and then decided to stop. :/
[10:54] <MeanEYE> Oh well reboot time.
[10:58] <Zhaofeng_Li> reedos: #ubuntu-zh perhaps?
[10:59] <Zhaofeng_Li> reedos: sorry, wrong one
[11:01] <lucido> The compiz process uses 30 percent plus of my cpu on my nvidia twin view setup with one of the displays rotated, is that normal?
[11:01] <heoyea> yes compiz uses alot
[11:02] <lucido> that's unwarranted
[11:02] <bekks> heoyea: For me, it doesnt.
[11:03] <bekks> lucido: You could check the CPU usage with an un-rotated display to compare.
[11:07] <Varazir> Hello, I have a problem that I need a script to run befor X and xbmc starts. I tried to add a script in rc.local ( was told here that it should be run before lightdm starts
[11:09] <bekks> Varazir: rc.local is the very last script run at boot. After every other init script.
[11:09] <Varazir> ok
[11:10] <CrypticSquared> in the folder for you runlevel there is a number telling the scripts in which order they should start
[11:10] <bekks> CrypticSquared: Thats outdated.
[11:10] <bekks> !upstart
[11:10] <CrypticSquared> hrm sorry then
[11:12] <Varazir> bekks: I have tried to read that. I found out that I add a starup condition like "start before lightdm" but will lightdm wait to start after my script is done ?
[11:13] <bekks> Just try it :)
[11:15] <Varazir> hehe could do that too :P
[11:15] <MeanEYE> Anyone has any idea how to fix this issue with nVidia drivers? At one point Xorg driver just dissapeared and I can't get it back. Reconfiguring nvidia-current installes kernel module, which works fine, but Xorg log file tells me there's no "nvidia" module available.
[11:16] <vitimiti> (·.·)/
[11:19] <heoyea> MeanEYE: it might still be using ur old xorg.conf
[11:20] <MeanEYE> Doubt it. Since I get (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[11:20] <KD0BPV> I have an ubuntu server with CLI access only. I forget what version of Ubuntu I installed. What's the command to check that again?
[11:21] <Guest29787> Is it possible to have Ubuntu make a sound when a command on the command line executed successfully with exit status 0?
[11:21] <MeanEYE> KD0BPV: lsb_release -a ?
[11:21] <KD0BPV> Thank you.
[11:22] <heoyea> Guest29787: yes
[11:22] <Guest29787> heoyea, how?
[11:22] <heoyea> donno how =D
[11:23] <heoyea> unless maybe u pipe the command thru something
[11:24] <MeanEYE> Guest29787: comman; play soundfile
[11:24] <MeanEYE> Guest29787: or you can use any other player
[11:24] <heoyea> is gotta execute without fail 1st
[11:24] <MeanEYE> In that case instead of ; use &&
[11:25] <Guest29787> MeanEYE, is there any sounds that come with Ubuntu?
[11:25] <heoyea> the donkey kong drums
[11:25] <MeanEYE> Guest29787: yes. Check /usr/share/sounds
[11:25] <wachpwnski> how do you run two commands and pipe the same variable into them?
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> wachpwnski  better ask in #bash
[11:26] <MeanEYE> wachpwnski: pipe two commands or run them at the same time?
[11:26] <wachpwnski> MeanEYE: I just want to run md5sum and sha1sum on the same file
[11:26] <heoyea> might need to make a script
[11:27] <Guest29787> MeanEYE, for example like this? ls - l && play /usr/share/sounds/sool_sound.mp3 ?
[11:27] <MeanEYE> wachpwnski: just execute commands separately. Or as heoyea suggested make a script.
[11:27] <MeanEYE> Guest29787: Yes. I think you
[11:28] <MeanEYE> Guest29787: you'll need to install sox for play command to be available.
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> Guest29787  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[11:28] <heoyea> maybe md5sum $1 && sha1sum $1
[11:28] <MeanEYE> MonkeyDust: he want's to play sound on successful command execute :D not all files in dir :P
[11:28] <Guest29787> MeanEYE, MonkeyDust thank you.
[11:29] <MeanEYE> Damn it. Am not solving my issue :D need to stop helping and concentrate.
[11:29] <maylow> hello
[11:30] <maylow> i've heard that there is a way to virtualize ubuntu n ubuntu in a very lightweight form
[11:30] <maylow> using the fact that the kernels are the same
[11:30] <maylow> is it possible to do this with kvm?
[11:31] <maylow> anyone? any ideas/
[11:31] <maylow> anyone? any ideas?
[11:31] <heoyea> MeanEYE: purge nvidia-current, install linux-headers-generic then reinstall the nvidia drivers
[11:32] <heoyea> maylow: whats kvm do again?
[11:32] <maylow> heoyea: ubuntu guests on ubuntu host
[11:32] <maylow> heoyea: same versions of ubuntu
[11:33] <heoyea> maylow: is that like virtualbox?
[11:33] <maylow> heoyea: the idea is to setup with open indiana's zones
[11:33] <maylow> heoyea: yes, but it's native to linux
[11:34] <irocksu> hi
[11:34] <heoyea> maylow: so u want multiple x sessions?
[11:34] <MeanEYE> heoyea: I'll try. Did by any chance GT610 stopped being supported by 304.x?
[11:34] <irocksu> i have a problem with dash. when i press the p key I get B. so instead of skype I get skyBe.
[11:34] <maylow> heoyea: no :) multiple virtual machines; no x at all
[11:34] <maylow> heoyea: it's a server
[11:35] <irocksu> i have a more detailed description with a picture here http://askubuntu.com/questions/226750/pressing-p-in-dash-results-in-weird-b
[11:35] <MeanEYE> heoyea: Ah, this doesn't help. Already have latest headers :/ darn it.
[11:35] <Yul> bonjour
[11:36] <irocksu> does anyone know what causes this problem?
[11:37] <Eagleman> How can i get vga std to work with virt-manager?
[11:37] <manners> hiya everyone
[11:37] <manners> i seem to be having some real problems sharing files from a usb drive that ws owned by windows
[11:37] <maylow> does anyone know an ubuntu alternative of open indiana's zones?
[11:38] <manners> i cant set any permissions or sharing rights
[11:39] <irocksu> manners: fat32 does not have acl afaik
[11:39] <manners> its not fat32
[11:39] <manners> its ntfs
[11:39] <irocksu> manners: even worse for linux -.-
[11:40] <heoyea> manners: maybe try chmod 777 on the usb drive
[11:40] <manners> so im using ntfs-3g and i can see teh drive myself from the machine
[11:41] <heoyea> manners: is it mounted?
[11:41] <manners> hmm yes but says fuseblk
[11:42] <heoyea> ?
[11:43] <manners> was expecting the type to be ntfs
[11:43] <heoyea> so u can see the drive but cant go into it?
[11:43] <manners>  says""/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[11:44] <irocksu> manners how did you mount it?
[11:45] <bekks> maylow: There is no alternative, since the concept of zones is not available on non-Solaris.
[11:45] <bekks> maylow: A different conceptis LXC.
[11:45] <maylow> bekks: freebsd has jails :)
[11:45] <manners> i didnt i assume it just mounted automatically
[11:45] <bekks> maylow: Which is a totally different concept compared with zones.
[11:46] <irocksu> manners: well try to mount it manually with -t ntfs
[11:46] <manners> anyways seems i had an old version of samba and now im getting errors getting the latest one
[11:46] <manners> i will sort this out then come back if im still having issues
[11:46] <maylow> bekks: yes, but still - lightweight virtualization alternative
[11:46] <bekks> maylow: zones and jails have nothing to do with virtualization at all.
[11:47] <maylow> bekks: *virtualization alternative
[11:47] <bekks> maylow: Since you cant use another architecture, thats no alternative at all.
[11:48] <maylow> bekks: if you say so
[11:48] <maylow> bekks: it's a matter of semantics and there's no point of arguing about it
[11:48] <maylow> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html
[12:00] <guang_> what is the usage of boot sector in usb when i insert usb on my computer?i tried to modify the asm code,finally it work well.why?
[12:04] <sprezzatura> if NETWORKING_IPV6=no in /etc/sysconfig/network, but i see a 'inet6 addr' in ifconfig , then whats wrong. i want to check if ipv6 is actually present and enabled or not in my box
[12:05] <lucido> bash: ./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.0-rc1-x86_64-offline.run: cannot execute binary file
[12:05] <lucido> whats that?
[12:07] <maylow> does anyone have some experience with kvm vs lxc used for a web server?
[12:07] <bekks> lucido: A file thats not executable. Grant execution permissions to that file before.
[12:07] <lucido> bekks, I did
[12:07] <bekks> maylow: I bet someone does. But whats your actual question?
[12:08] <bekks> lucido: Show us the ls -lha ./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.0-rc1-x86_64-offline.run output please
[12:08] <maylow> bekks: which one to choose. pros and cons. base for decision. things like that :)
[12:09] <bekks> maylow: So its nothing about support then :) In that case, #ubuntu-offtopic should be a better place for asking :)
[12:09] <lucido> bekks, problem is that I'm running 32bit ubuntu
[12:10] <lucido> How can I convert to 64bit?
[12:10] <bekks> lucido: You cant.
[12:12] <anon> Is there an offtopic channel for Freenode where one can talk about anything?
[12:15] <Guest76601> Is there an offtopic channel for Freenode where one can talk about anything?
[12:15] <jrib> Guest76601: #defocus
[12:15] <DJones> Guest76601: Have you asked in #freenode ? Thats the best place to ask
[12:16] <Guest76601> Thx
[12:20] <manners> ok iv now realised when iinstall ntfs-3g it requires samba 4 which is not installing
[12:22] <PatrickDickey> what's the error when you try to install samba4?
[12:24] <myhero> how to look irc chat history?
[12:25] <SolarisBoy> you can log it in your client myhero or you can scrollback (pgup) or use commands like /lastlog
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> myhero  http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[12:26] <myhero> how to print or save a irc chat session?
[12:27] <bazhang> !1984 | myhero
[12:27] <myhero> hmm...print/save?
[12:28] <sprezzatura> sorry..seemed to have logged  off. reposting : if NETWORKING_IPV6=no in /etc/sysconfig/network, but i see a 'inet6 addr' in ifconfig , then whats wrong. i want to check if ipv6 is actually present and enabled or not in my box
[12:30] <iliv> is there a livecd or something to checkout Achievements?
[12:30] <SolarisBoy> sprezzatura: try to toggle the sysctl key to off
[12:31] <SolarisBoy> sprezzatura: eg net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6
[12:31] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: isnt there 'one' check which basically tells me ipv6 is present or nto?
[12:31] <manners> its saying i need to remove teh smb.conf file and let provision recreate it
[12:31] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: i do not want to change anything as of now. i just want to know whether ipv6 is configured or not
[12:33] <Eagleman> I am getting the following error with: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedCould not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting        kvm -vga std -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows8.img -boot c
[12:33] <Eagleman> -m 2048
[12:33] <Eagleman> ANy idea on how to fix it?
[12:34] <SolarisBoy> sprezzatura: check the value of that key and check to see if you are loading the net-pf-10 module i guess then
[12:34] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: There is something odd about the IPV6INIT=no and seeing an IPV6 address though
[12:36] <rgrig> Any idea why would the terminal window resize (to the default size) whenever I switch back-and-forth viewports?
[12:39] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: this is even more interesting :   /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/bond1/disable_ipv6 has 0
[12:40] <wdp> hey. I asked yesterday already but got no response. I have three intel nics and would like them to have the names eth0, eth1, eth2.Instead they're named em0, eth1 and p260p1. any idea how I can change that?
[12:44] <llutz> wdp:edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  and add rules to set the correct names
[12:44] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: whats  a loopback adapter?
[12:45] <wdp> llutz, there's only one entry in there, do i have to copy that one?
[12:45] <kumar> official ubuntu support is good
[12:45] <spexi> Hi! Just restarted Ubuntu Server 12.04 after updates, that needed to restart the system. Those updates came about a week ago. Now pinging google says "unknown host" and when trying to start irssi, connecting to networks says "Temporary failure in name resolution". Any ideas?
[12:46] <llutz> wdp: take it as an expample line, add 2 more rules, change MAC and NAME
[12:46] <bekks> spexi: Check your DNS server setting.
[12:46] <spexi> Anything I could try?
[12:46] <llutz> s/MAC/ATTR{address}/
[12:46] <wdp> llutz, right. The header states that one should only change the value of the NAME= key - Will ubuntu modify those rules on update?
[12:47] <spexi> bekks: where I need to check something? Like in which file?
[12:47] <bekks> spexi: /etc/resolv.conf
[12:47] <llutz> wdp idk, but you can cirumvent that with creating a new file, name starting with a hnumber >70
[12:47] <spexi> It contains: # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[12:47] <llutz> number*
[12:48] <wdp> llutz, thanks a lot. Trying.
[12:48] <spexi> Is there some other file to check? If I can't edit that by hand
[12:52] <keyser_soze> i've a question, guys
[12:52] <keyser_soze> i keep getting E:broken packages error, when i try installing
[12:52] <keyser_soze> i tried apt-get update as well, it doesnt work
[12:52] <spexi> other website says that I should edit file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head, but it has the same information that resolv.conf. that I shouldn't edit by hand
[12:53] <spexi> How could I get the networking to work?
[12:53] <bekks> spexi: Do you have a valid IP address=
[12:53] <llutz> spexi:  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head is the file to edit, the warning shown in this file is just copied to /etc/resolv.conf and doesn't really apply to "head"
[12:53] <jrib> keyser_soze: you have no idea why?  No unofficial repositories (including PPAs)?  No packages outside the repositories?
[12:54] <Danic> hi
[12:54] <spexi> bekks: ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418807/
[12:54] <spexi> so yeah, i have static ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <keyser_soze> jrib: no, no unofficial repos
[12:55] <jrib> keyser_soze: pastebin full error message
[12:55] <Danic> whenever i search for something using "Dash Home" i get a lot of advertise and stuff. how can i remove that?
[12:55] <spexi> llutz: I have nothing in file "base", and the file original contains "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" which is correct
[12:55] <spexi> but should that be in file head?
[12:55] <jrib> !adlens | Danic
[12:56] <llutz> spexi: wherever you want, those 3 files (head, base, tail) will just be concatenated into /etc/resolv.conf.
[12:57] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: there?
[12:57] <llutz> spexi: so if you want your nameserver be the first, add it to head. if it is to be the last one, edit "tail"
[12:57] <spexi> llutz: there is base, head and original, and original contains the nameserver section
[12:57] <spexi> okay
[12:58] <Danic> ubottu, funny i cant remove it in the software center. but apt-get worked good. thx
[12:59] <spexi> llutz: thanks, that worked! I moved the nameserver line to file "head"
[12:59] <fragmachine> Is there a way to build an panel applet with Ruby?
[12:59] <fragmachine> I only stuff for python, C etc
[13:00] <Danic> Man, ubuntu became wierd since unity. Why don't I find vim-gnome in the software center? I assumed its just a extreme nice GUI for apt-get
[13:01] <kumar> official ubuntu is official
[13:03] <aguitel> i have 2 pcs ,can i share internet using Switch ?
[13:03] <neltzig> Hello! :)

[13:04] <neltzig> anybody here care for a little chitchat?
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> neltzig  wrong channel
[13:05] <sprezzatura> SolarisBoy: there?
[13:11] <manners> right guys i really hope someone can help and tell me what im doing wrong
[13:11] <bekks> manners: just ask...
[13:11] <inop2603> Howdy! :DDD
[13:11] <manners> iv got a usb drive shared via ubuntu and i can see and browse it from my windows machine however i cant edit any files or open them
[13:13] <manners> drive mount info looks like this "/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)"
[13:14] <PatrickDickey> manners, try this in a terminal. ls -l /media Tell me what the permissions are for the drive
[13:14] <manners> but please be easy with me as im not a linux user in the slightest just know its alot less hungry than window
[13:14] <manners> s
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> manners  time to switch to linux
[13:14] <manners> the drive isnt listed there
[13:15] <NoNameProduct> hello - I have got a question. My question is: Is there a Source Code Distribution available for the actual ubuntu distribution ?
[13:15] <manners> it was auto mounted
[13:15] <PatrickDickey> manners: Here's the thing (I'm guessing). /media is owned by root. You probably don't have the proper permissions for any other user to edit files.
[13:15] <bekks> NoNameProduct: No.
[13:15] <PatrickDickey> manners: type mount and look to see if it shows up.
[13:15] <manners> ok and how can i change it
[13:15] <bekks> NoNameProduct: But you can recomplie everything you've installed.
[13:15] <manners> when mounts is typed the above shows up
 drive mount info looks like this "/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)"
[13:16] <PatrickDickey> ok in your terminal, type cd /media
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> NoNameProduct  use apt-get source to get the source of any package
[13:17] <manners> drwx------ 1 manners manners 28672 Dec  8 12:39 Elements
[13:17] <PatrickDickey> manners: Do you have any files on the USB that need to be executed?
[13:17] <bekks> manners: Pastebin the entire output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l" please.
[13:17] <NoNameProduct> bekks: That is not what I want to do because I am interested in software development generally and I want source code of already developed software, 'cause reading software sources is helpful for me while learning the one or the other programming language
[13:18] <bekks> NoNameProduct: Then just use apt-get source
[13:18] <manners> http://pastebin.com/ic2ghXKA <<< mount
[13:19] <manners> http://pastebin.com/VLRU79Yd <<< the fdisk is on the bottom
[13:20] <bekks> manners: And the detailed problem now is...?
[13:20] <PatrickDickey> manners you'll probably need to chmod the directory. For being able to read/write, it's something like this: sudo chmod -R 766 Elements  If you have any .exe programs on the drive, then it's sudo chmod -R 777 Elements  You have to do this from inside of the /media directory (at least how I have the commands listed).
[13:21] <bekks> PatrickDickey: Which will not work on NTFS.
[13:21] <bekks> So not suggest things like that please, especially with unwanted 777 permissions.
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> chmod 755 should do
[13:23] <Ben64> chmod still won't do anything for ntfs
[13:24] <bekks> And we still dont know about the actual problem.
[13:24] <sachin__> hello all can anybody help me installing lava data card on ubuntu 12.04  i have ubuntu specific  usb driver files that came with data card flash storage
[13:26] <guang_> i have mounted the dvd,but after running "sudo fdisk -l",the dvd system is not listed.
[13:26] <bekks> guang_: A dvd is never shown using fdisk -l
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> guang_  what's on the dvd?
[13:26] <guang_> some file on it
[13:27] <guang_> bekks:what command can be used for it?
[13:27] <bekks> guang_: For doing what?
[13:27] <guang_> bekks:for looking up its file system
[13:27] <bekks> guang_: You have to mount it.
[13:28] <guang_> bekks:i have mounted it
[13:28] <Ben64> then try "mount"
[13:28] <bekks> guang_: Then use ls
[13:28] <guang_> bekks:i can access the file in it
[13:28] <bekks> guang_: Then why do you try to use fdisk?
[13:29] <Kr4ut> hoi
[13:29] <guang_> bekks:fdisk -l can list the file system mounted on my computer.
[13:29] <Ben64> guang_: use "mount"
[13:30] <guang_> got it.
[13:30] <bekks> guang_: Which is wrong. fdisk cant list filesystems at all. It lists partitions, no matter wether they are mounted ot not.
[13:30] <NoNameProduct> And now I have gut a suggestion. Well ... why doesn't Canonical realize distributing a "Unubuntu" ( 'Unity Ubuntu' - I don't actually know a better Distribution Name ), and additionally produce something like "Gubuntu" ( Gnome Ubuntu ) ? I am pretty sure that I am not the only one worldwide who doesn't even like the Unity Desktop ...
[13:31] <Ben64> NoNameProduct: it's easily removed, but it is the default Ubuntu desktop now
[13:31] <guang_> bekks:if i umount the usb,i can not see the usb partitions.
[13:32] <guang_> bekks:by using "fdisk -l"
[13:32] <PatrickDickey> guang_: If you're looking for the filesystem on the DVD, it's most likely UDF. That's typically what is used with CD and DVD.
[13:32] <bekks> guang_: fdisk -l doesnt even know whats "mounted" or not.
[13:33] <Ben64> shouldn't be using fdisk to check what filesystem is mounted anyway
[13:33] <bekks> Ben64: No.
[13:33] <bekks> Ben64: fdisk -l doesnt care about filesystems, it cares about blockdevices and partitions only.
[13:34] <Ben64> I know...
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> guang_  try sudo blkid
[13:35] <jonas-k> how  completely  remove mysql 5.5 ?  i  read alot of forum try a lot of combinations but still something from mysql  is on a system . Then i try to install  i got some error msg
[13:36] <guang_> i have know its type is iso9660 by using command "mount"
[13:36] <bekks> jonas-k: "something" and "some" are pretty unspecific. Whhat did you do exactly, and whats the exact error message?
[13:37] <PatrickDickey> guang_: http://www.isobuster.com/help/file_systems
[13:38] <bjorn_> hello
[13:39] <PatrickDickey> hello bjorn_
[13:39] <jrib> jonas-k: why do you want to remove it?
[13:39] <bjorn_> when i try to install ubuntu on some computer i have

[13:39] <bjorn_> i start it with the usb drive but the screen is stuck at purple and at the bottom theres a picture of a keyboard = a person
[13:40] <bjorn_> nevermind
[13:40] <bjorn_> it was just freezing up
[13:41] <MeanEYE> heoyea: nothing like a fresh install :D
[13:41] <wdp> llutz, thanks, that worked. I'm just curious if it could be a problem that I named them differently from what the kernel reported. But actually it seems to work. The kernel reports the first onboard nic as eth0, the pcie nic as eth1 and the second onboard nic as eth2. The weird naming was because there was only one udev rule for eth1. I added rules so that the pcie nic is eth0, and the two onboard nics are eth1 and eth2 (which makes sense in our setup)
[13:41] <wdp> llutz, so, thanks again .)
[13:43] <llutz> wdp: that should not have any sideeffect
[13:43] <wdp> alright, thanks

[13:51] <Ben^> Hi Guys, Seems I was changing between GTK+ themes and my taskbar and top bar with notificaton panel has crashed out. Im not on unity yet. What process can I kick to get em back?
[13:51] <Varazir> How can I use this in a IF state "initctl status lightdm" I tried echo $? both started and stop showed the same
[13:51] <read> I installed Ubuntu like 4 times on my computer and each time for some reason Ubuntu freezes after login. Is there anything I can do to prevent my computer from freezing everytime I login?
[13:53] <llutz> Varazir: initctl status lightdm >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "not running"
[13:55] <llutz> Varazir: sry, it has an option for this:          initctl --quiet status lightdm || echo "not running"
[13:55] <Varazir> llutz: I don't get how dose that tell me the diffrens if the job is running or not ?
[13:55] <guang_> after i run command "sudo dd if=dev/sr0 of=dvd bs=10 count=512",i run command "hexdump -C dvd",find the file dvd is filled with "0".
[13:56] <guang_> /dev/sr0 is my dvd.
[13:56] <guang_> i can access files in it.
[13:56] <llutz> Varazir:  "not output" = running
[13:57] <guang_> why the dvd file is fully filled with "0"
[13:57] <Varazir> llutz: should I see anything when I running just in a promt ?
[13:59] <read> I installed Ubuntu like 4 times on my computer and each time for some reason Ubuntu freezes after login. Is there anything I can do to prevent my computer from freezing everytime I login?
[13:59] <Varazir> llutz: if (initctl --quiet status lightdm || echo "not running");  then echo "YES" ; else echo "NO"; fi
[14:00] <Varazir> tried both on a job that I know is not running and lightdm that's running both echo YES
[14:00] <theadmin> Varazir: Well that obviously returns yes -- the "echo 'not running'" command has no reason to fail, so your if-condition is always true
[14:01] <llutz> Varazir:  if (initctl --quiet status lightdm );  then echo "YES" ; else echo "NO"; fi
[14:01] <Varazir> theadmin: I thought of that removed  || echo "not running" and run it again with the same result
[14:02] <theadmin> That returns "yes" here even though I don't have lightdm installed :/
[14:02] <Varazir> llutz: that gives me YES on both running and stoped jobs
[14:02] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[14:03] <llutz> Varazir:  if (initctl status lightdm |grep running);  then echo "YES" ; else echo "NO"; fi
[14:03] <Varazir> I guess I have to do it the dirty way to use awk and print second value to a varible and run a IF statement on that
[14:03] <theadmin> I honestly don't even. Can't you just "pgrep lightdm"? Doesn't really correspond to the service running, but will do with the process...
[14:03] <Varazir> llutz: that would work too
[14:04] <llutz> theadmin: i also would go for: if ( pgrep lightdm >/dev/null );  then foo
[14:04] <Varazir> ok
[14:05] <Cliff``> hi everyone
[14:05] <llutz> pgrep needs a -q option...
[14:06] <antoks> rm needs an -i,--inode option...
[14:07] <llutz> antoks: wrapper, find . -inum ... -exec rm {}
[14:08] <antoks> llutz: I know how to do it, I just think rm should have the option
[14:08] <antoks> =)
[14:09] <llutz> antoks: lets write some feature requests...
[14:09] <antoks> llutz: too lazy =(
[14:10] <antoks> maybe I should download binutils or whatever the project is called, and try to implement it =)
[14:10] <read> I installed Ubuntu like 4 times on my computer and each time for some reason Ubuntu freezes after login. Is there anything I can do to prevent my computer from freezing everytime I login?
[14:10] <antoks> could be an insteresting execise
[14:10] <antoks> read: sounds like a graphics issue maybe?
[14:10] <antoks> did changing to a virtual terminal work?
[14:11] <k1l_> read: do you have a hybrid card installed? like nvidia optimus etc?
[14:11] <k1l_> read: and if so, did you install the right bumblebee driver for it?
[14:11] <read> antoks: what would you reccommend? I'm reading online and I tried many solutions but now I can't even get to a terminal. I read that the problme is nouvea
[14:12] <antoks> read: I think k1l_ probably is onto something if you have got multiple gpu's
[14:12] <k1l_> read: there are a billion possible problems. we need to narrow it down on the real problem
[14:13] <k1l_> read: so which video card is installed and is it a hybrid one?
[14:13] <antoks> read: you say you manage to install, do you install with a live cd? if so, using the normal live cd?
[14:13] <read> k1l: you were helping me last time. You helped me remove nvidia because before the problme was that I booted straight into a terminal. After you helped me that stopped and now I boot into ubuntu but the computer freezes. I can barely see the icons now
[14:14] <read> I used a USB to install ubuntu antoks
[14:15] <AtoXx> ciao
[14:16] <read> k1l: when I originally installed the system it would freeze after maybe 10 minutes of being on ubuntu. Then I decided to install nvidia-current or nvidia-common because I read that to be a solution to the problem. After I did the computer froze. Then the next time I logged back intot he computer I booted into a terminal everytime. ONce you helped me remove it then I booted back into ubuntu but now it freezes again just like before
[14:17] <wildwind> read: try login via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and read logs
[14:17] <k1l_> read: last time it sounded as it was ok before the nvidia-installation
[14:17] <Eagleman> I am getting the following error with: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedCould not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting        kvm -vga std -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows8.img -boot c
[14:17] <Eagleman> -m 2048
[14:18] <worm> Eagleman: Possibly paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com can make those stuff much easier to read.
[14:18] <read> k1l: sorry for not explaining myself and letting you know that was the reason I installed nvidia
[14:19] <k1l_> read: so first we need to find which card is in your laptop/pc exactly
[14:19] <k1l_> read: make a "lspci | pastebinit" on that machine, please
[14:19] <read> wildwind: so when I go to the grub screen I should hit ctrl+alt+f1
[14:19] <k1l_> read: no hit that combo when the pc freezes
[14:20] <k1l_> or on the login screen
[14:20] <read> wildwind: or should I do that after I am at the login screen. Because after the login in screen is where my problem begins
[14:20] <wildwind> read: no, when you get to the login screen
[14:21] <read> k1l: so should I do this while i'm on ubuntu?
[14:21] <escott_> Eagleman, why is putty talking about kvm?
[14:21] <read> wildwind: ok, I'll do that i just need to login with my other computer so i can get helped by you at the same time
[14:21] <k1l_> read: we need this information from that machine, that is not correctly booting ubuntu
[14:22] <Eagleman> Hello i am trying to get virt-manager to work with vga std, i tried the following: http://jan.varho.org/?p=94  However if i execute qemu-kvm in the CLI i get the following error dPuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attemptedCould not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting
[14:22] <read> k1l: i'll try to see if I can do it
[14:24] <read1> k1l and wildwind: I am read, i'm just changing computers now
[14:25] <Ascavasaion> Is the fingerprint reader on a laptop concealed in the touchpad?  Or is it a total separate feature?  If they are one and the same, howcome Ubuntu or Windows do not detect them?
[14:25] <read1> wildwind: What was the command again?
[14:25] <mens> Is possible to open HTTP stream in XBMC Eden?
[14:25] <mens> I tried to do what I found on the forums
[14:25] <mens> I edited the file playercorefactory.xml
[14:25] <mens> < rule name =  http / hdhomerun /myth /rtmp / mms / udp  protocols =  http | hdhomerun | myth | cmyth | rtmp | mms | mmsh | udp  player =  DVDPlayer    /  >
[14:25] <mens> I added HTTP where it was written that should be added.
[14:25] <FloodBot1> mens: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:25] <mens> But this maneuver did not helped
[14:26] <mens> The problem occurs when I open the *.m3u file
[14:26] <wildwind> read: Ctrl+Alt+F1
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> mens  there's also #xbmc   450+ people there
[14:26] <paridedina> list
[14:27] <paridedina> o
[14:27] <read1> wildwind: that command doesn't do anything. but ctrl+alt+t does
[14:27] <bekks> paridedina: Why do you think this might be a file sharing channel?
[14:27] <read1> btw, for some wear reason this computer just booted without freezing just now :)
[14:28] <wildwind> read1: well did you login into desktop?
 For a month trying to solve the problem.
 I wrote XBMC channel
[14:28] <read1> k1l: what command you wnated me to do?
[14:28] <k1l_> read: make a "lspci | pastebinit" on that machine, please
[14:28] <BluesKaj> bekks, because some italian computer magazine that hates linux says so
[14:28] <read1> wildwind: yes, i'm login and it looks like the computer is working for now
[14:29] <bekks> BluesKaj: I didnt know italians believe in what magazines do print :P
[14:29] <read1> wildwind: I don't know if it has to do with that fact that I was working on my mac
[14:29] <wildwind> maybe it's because we're all watching it :)
[14:30] <read1> k1l: the website is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418967/
[14:31] <wildwind> read1: you can open system logs viewer and save syslog somewhere for later analysis, if problem returns
[14:31] <read1> wildwind: lol
[14:31] <k1l_> read1: what is this? which laptop?
[14:31] <read1> k1l: i have a macbook pro if that is what your asking
[14:31] <escott_> Eagleman, why would putty care what resolution the kvm instance had
[14:31] <read1> k1l: but the report is from my ubuntu like you asked
[14:32] <read1> wildiwnd: how can I open system logs viewer?
[14:32] <read1> wildwind: or save it?
[14:32] <k1l_> read1: i need that command done on the machine which got the problem.
[14:32] <read1> k1l: yes, it is from that computer. is my ubuntu 12.10
[14:33] <k1l_> so the laptop with the problem is the macbook?
[14:33] <wildwind> read1: try typing it in dash
[14:33] <read1> k1l: yes, i am using a macbook pro and I installed ubuntu 12.10 desktop on it
[14:33] <Eagleman> escott_ i have no idea, i enabled x11 forwarding and it works perfectl;y with virt-manager
[14:34] <k1l_> read1: ok. this is an important information. apple macbooks used to need a special ubuntu version to run. but i dont know if this is still true these days
[14:34] <read1> wildwind: what you mean by try typing it in dash? are you asking me to type open system-log-viewer
[14:34] <escott_> Eagleman, ok. are you trying to do x forwarding with putty under windows? if so do you have xming or some other x server installed and running
[14:35] <Eagleman> escott_ like i said if i execute virt-manager in puty xming will show me the window
[14:35] <read1> k1l: i did read that this was a common problem on macbook pro of a certain year but I don't even know of what year my mac is.
[14:36] <read1> k1l: do you think that the nveou has anything to do with my computer freezing?
[14:36] <k1l_> read1: ok. but that should be the first informations to collect. but i cant help since i dont know much about the macbooks
[14:36] <escott_> Eagleman, i dont understand what you are doing and when you are getting error messages. why don't you paste.ubuntu.com the entire session that errors so i can figure out what you are trying to do
[14:36] <read1> k1l: ok, so you want me to find out if macbooks have difficulty having ubuntu installed?
[14:37] <k1l_> read1: could be. but you should look out which macbook type you have and then look out for how-tos and experiences with that
[14:38] <read1> k1l: ok, so then you concluding that the problem might be with my computer not the system log or the lspci right?
[14:39] <wildwind> read1: typing "system log" is enough to find it
[14:39] <k1l_> read1: the problem is with your hardware. the system log and lspci were only commands to see if there is some information about what is wrong
[14:40] <rocky> what's the "best" gmail indicator app for ubuntu/unity now with 12.10 ?
[14:41] <Eagleman> escott_:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418981/
[14:41] <read1> k1l: do you want to see my system log before I try that or you just reccommend that I try to find the how to on mac?
[14:42] <escott_> Eagleman, that doesnt include any error messages.
[14:42] <k1l_> read1: i dont have that much time now. so i couldnt assist you one that. but if you ask here maybe someone will help
[14:42] <Eagleman> There is no error message, it just wont boot with adjustable resolution
[14:43] <escott_> Eagleman, ok so this has nothing to do with putty. the problem is that you cannot give windows a different resolution with the -vga argument
[14:43] <escott_> Eagleman, you might ask in #kvm
[14:44] <read1> k1l: thanks though,
[14:44] <Eagleman> escott_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418987/
[14:45] <Ahmed_> if i have all /usr and /home and /var and / and /boot on same filesystem howa to spilt them on another filesystem ????
[14:45] <escott_> !home | Ahmed_
[14:45] <escott_> Ahmed_, moving /usr would be unsupported
[14:46] <read1> k1l: btw this guy has my same mac and his works. http://askubuntu.com/questions/210532/which-ubuntu-12-10-on-mac
[14:46] <escott_> Ahmed_, var and boot would be much like home, you will have to rerun grub-install after moving boot
[14:47] <read1> wildwind: my that command system log doesn't work
[14:47] <read1> wildwind: no command 'system' found
[14:49] <wildwind> are you typing it in dash?
[14:49] <Catbuntu> Hi
[14:49] <wildwind> try gnome-system-log
[14:49] <Bitcho> hi ctm
[14:50] <Catbuntu> Radeon HD Mobility 3650: Has Ubuntu good support for it?
[14:50] <Catbuntu> I'm actually trying to install Linux Mint on my mum's computer, and I'd like to know if there's a decent driver for Cinnamon.
[14:51] <theadmin> Catbuntu: There's no support for Mint here.
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[14:52] <Catbuntu> Yes, I know.
[14:52] <Catbuntu> Well, then for Ubuntu.
[14:52] <Catbuntu> The question is related to Ubuntu, not to Mint :P
[14:52] <Catbuntu> Ubuntu has a driver for 3xxx series or is there a legacy driver on any PPA?
[14:53] <nongoogle> <3 also how do i get my desktop back
[14:54] <t432> the following lib is automatically in classpath right? /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386/jre/lib/ext/javaee.jar
[14:54] <t432> I did'nt install it, it came with the setup
[14:55] <t432> where would place the classpath info?
[14:57] <lucido> whats a good HW info application, I'm looking into possible upgrades
[14:58] <Moesh> >>
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> lucido  hardinfo
[15:00] <Moesh> check.
[15:00] <Moesh> Whew.
[15:00] <Moesh> Hey folks. I'm installing Ubuntu on my desktop and I'm pretty terrified. Any advice for first-time users?
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> Moesh  use a live session to get used to it ('try ubuntu')
[15:01] <prawnsalad> hey guys. DNS resolution is failing for me as it doesnt appear to be picking up the DNS addresses in the interface config
[15:02] <Moesh> Mm, I've been playing around with it while its on my USB key for awhile.
[15:02] <prawnsalad> but when using dig to contact the dns addresses directly, that works
[15:03] <wildwind> prawnsalad: release?
[15:03] <artesis123> Test
[15:03] <prawnsalad> wildc4rd: precise
[15:04] <prawnsalad> server version, i should mention
[15:04] <issue> hey who know russian help me ples
[15:04] <issue> pleas
[15:04] <escott_> prawnsalad, what is the source when you dig it
[15:05] <theadmin> !ru | issue
 ребят помогите у меня не видет карт ридер
[15:05] <issue> * #ubuntu-ru :Cannot send to channel
[15:05] <llutz> prawnsalad:  pastebin output of "grep nameservers /etc/network/interfaces" and "apt-cache policy resolvconf|grep -i insta" please
[15:05] <prawnsalad> escott_: dig replies with "connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
[15:06] <llutz> prawnsalad: well, and your /etc/resolv.conf   of course
[15:06] <escott_> prawnsalad, i thought you said dig was working?
[15:07] <prawnsalad> llutz: doing now
[15:07] <prawnsalad> escott_: sorrym thought you meant without specifying an address. source im using is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:08] <danilo> !list
[15:09] <prawnsalad> llutz: output here http://pastebin.com/27QkF6Dn
[15:09] <llutz> prawnsalad: this is a comment, how should that work? #       dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:10] <llutz> prawnsalad: remove the #
[15:10] <prawnsalad> llutz: because the line it didnt pick up was:  dns-servers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:10] <prawnsalad> which is the line im using on 2 other working boxes
[15:10] <llutz> prawnsalad: because it has to be "dns-nameserver x.x.x.x
[15:10] <llutz> prawnsalad: err "dns-nameservers x.x.x.x"
[15:11] <prawnsalad> then im confused as to why the others are working?
[15:11] <llutz> prawnsalad: this line should work: "dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>"
[15:12] <llutz> prawnsalad: ifupdown/resolvconf have no keyword "dns-servers"
[15:12] <prawnsalad> ok, will change that
[15:13] <prawnsalad> /etc/resolv.conf is generated on boot from the interface config, is that right?
[15:13] <llutz> prawnsalad: yes
[15:13] <prawnsalad> ok, so 2 of my other boxes have:  dns-servers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:14] <prawnsalad> with resolv.conf populated properly
[15:14] <prawnsalad> same ubuntu version
[15:15] <llutz> prawnsalad: and yu are sure resolv.conf will be generated from this, not from any other service /dhcp, networkmanager/?
[15:15] <llutz> prawnsalad: as i said, ifupdown/resolvconf have no keyword "dns-servers"  according to their documentation
[15:16] <prawnsalad> after a fresh OS install, database/nodejs/firewalls/users setup, a reboot about 4 or 5 hours ago, nothing else has been done to the boxes
[15:17] <prawnsalad> so i can understand why the one box is not working, but its worse that the other boxes are working but not how they should be :/
[15:18] <llutz> prawnsalad: idk why the other boxes work with that, i just tested "dns-servers...." here and it simply was ignored
[15:19] <rex_> how to uninstall Vmware player?
[15:19] <prawnsalad> llutz: hmm ok, ill have to think this through, not a fan of not understanding things in production heh. cheers for your help :)
[15:20] <llutz> prawnsalad: i'd check if there are any other related services running on those other 2 boxes
[15:21] <llutz> prawnsalad: also the files in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
[15:23] <prawnsalad> llutz: is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/originl the content of /etc/resolv.vonf before it is overwritten do you know?
[15:23] <llutz> prawnsalad: i'm not sure but i guess it is
[15:24] <llutz> "
[15:24] <llutz> Copy of the /etc/resolv.conf file before the resolvconf  package
[15:24] <llutz>               was  installed.
[15:24] <prawnsalad> there are the nameserver lines in there, so i guess they were originally put in resolv.conf instead of correctly in interfaces
[15:25] <llutz> prawnsalad: .above from "man resolvconf" about  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original
[15:25] <prawnsalad> ahh.. thinking about it, this box has been accessed by another person switching its IPs
[15:26] <prawnsalad> ok, making more sense now llutz
[15:26] <KScorp> hi
[15:27] <llutz> prawnsalad: i'd change interfaces-file on all machines to be on safe side when changes have to be done in the future. then you know, where the things come from
[15:27] <KScorp> how can i remove guest session in login? ubuntu 11.10
[15:27] <llutz> KScorp: "allow-guest=false" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[15:27] <prawnsalad> llutz: yea, makes sense. im syncing them all up so all 3 boxes are consistant
[15:28] <KScorp> oh. thanks a lot llutz
[15:28] <FAMAS> hello all
[15:29] <FAMAS> i want to know what tool should i use in ubuntu to measure FLOPS of my system
[15:29] <eltayeb>  Xchat program crash everytime i try to list channels in freenode
[15:29] <FAMAS> eltayeb, you can use kvirc ;)
[15:30] <banda>  /join #xchat
[15:30] <escott_> llutz, KScorp, i think lightdm ignores its own conf file if accountsservice is running
[15:31] <bekks> eltayeb: Dont list all channels, their number is > 10000
[15:31] <eltayeb> can we fix this bugs ?
[15:31] <FAMAS> i list all channels without crashing
[15:31] <FAMAS> also bekks
[15:31] <llutz> !alis | eltayeb maybe an alternative
[15:31] <FAMAS> IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD
[15:32] <FAMAS> sorry
[15:32] <KScorp> escott_, I'll test it and i will come back
[15:32] <Kuukuuhmu> Ubottu
[15:32] <llutz> escott_: does it? stupid software with a even more stupid default-config then
[15:33] <escott_> llutz, but you just dont understand it has a smaller codebase than GDM so that makes it better
[15:33] <llutz> escott_: ah well, THEN it must be good :(
[15:34] <eltayeb> !alis
[15:34] <KScorp> escott_, llutz , it's not work correctly .
[15:34] <llutz> security for very beginners - lesson 1: no system has to have an activated guest account
[15:35] <escott_> KScorp, file a bug... the lightdm guys will be happy to ignore it
[15:35] <escott_> KScorp, but in seriousness you have to mess with accountservice... maybe they have actually written some documentation on it by now... they have had almost a year to do so
[15:40] <user> hi
[15:40] <user> I'm amature in ubuntu
[15:41] <user> can u help me?
[15:43] <escott_> !ask | user

[15:43] <llutz> oh, thx IdleOne
[15:45] <anonymous> hello
[15:46] <veyoon> hi
[15:46] <veyoon> can anyone help me disabling keyboard and mouse on my second xorg session?
[15:46] <escott_> veyoon, second session?
[15:47] <veyoon> yes, I have my desktop on display 0
[15:47] <veyoon> and xbmc on display 1
[15:47] <veyoon> when I move my mouse the cursor is moving on both sessions simultaneously
[15:47] <escott_> veyoon, so what session is your primary mouse attached to
[15:47] <escott_> veyoon, thats exciting. i guess you can use xinput to disable the pointer and keyboard
[15:47] <veyoon> it seems to be attached dynamically to every session
[15:48] <anonymous> i'dont understand im french
[15:48] <veyoon> all clicks go to all desktops
[15:48] <escott_> !fr | anonymous
[15:48] <veyoon> yes, tried that already
[15:48] <veyoon> but how can i generally disable input on a xsession?
[15:49] <veyoon> given you want to run a media center on one screen
[15:49] <veyoon> and a desktop on the other
[15:50] <manners> hmm seems i still cant chmod the files on the usb drive
[15:51] <escott_> manners, what filesystem and what are you trying to chmod to
[15:51] <bekks> manners: Because you CANT chmod/chown files that are on a NTFS. As you have been told multiple times before.
[15:51] <manners> ok so how do i get around it
[15:51] <manners> they have been shared via ubuntu before
[15:51] <wildwind> veyoon: try xinput --disable <id>
[15:52] <manners> i just had a failure so had to use a windows machine for a while
[15:52] <bekks> manners: By setting the appropriate user and group and access mode as an option to the mount command.
[15:52] <wildwind> veyoon: get ids from xinput
[15:52] <manners> eg
[15:52] <veyoon> wildwind:  thanks, I did that in script
[15:52] <manners> as im new to this sorry
[15:52] <BitWraith> how do I (using, for example, apt) display a list of all files belonging to a particular package?
[15:53] <veyoon> unfortunately something is reenabling all input devices again
[15:53] <veyoon> this is frustrating, thats why I am looking for a way to generally disable any input device for a session
[15:53] <veyoon> how are input devices configured in ubuntu 12.04?
[15:53] <veyoon> is there still a hald running?
[15:54] <escott_> BitWraith, dpkg -L package
[15:54] <BitWraith> ty
[15:56] <zoite_> when my ubuntu goes to sleep, does it dream?
[15:56] <veyoon> wildwind:  xinput does the job for a while, but I gets reverted for some reason
[15:57] <BitWraith> zoite_, apt-cache search electricsheep
[15:57] <zoite_> oh thanks
[15:58] <wildwind> veyoon: then maybe you should dig into xorg.conf
[15:58] <dcherniv> veyoon, hald has been deprecated
[15:59] <Guest412> I need help with 12.04,  does anyone know how to get photoprint running?
[16:00] <trying2code> I have a python script that will probably take over 30 minutes to run. However it is ending before 20 minutes. Is there a max runtime for a script in Ubuntu?
[16:00] <veyoon> dcherniv:  yes, no hald running here. do you know what now is used?
[16:00] <LgNexus4> Anything new in ubuntu as far as release goes?
[16:01] <dcherniv> veyoon, should be udev + xorg
[16:01] <LgNexus4> Any updates to unity ?
[16:01] <veyoon> dcherniv:  thx, then I try to disable udev for the second screen
[16:03] <KikaRz> Hello. I got a dumb computer, which system i should use , and what version?
[16:03] <jay_> hey, having an issue with not being able to click on anything that pops up. Ie, if I open a program then open a menu I can't click on anything in the menu but I can keyboard navigate on it
[16:03] <LgNexus4> Just reference if cell phone bill is over 80 a month may want to look into straight talk for 60 a month unlimited services
[16:05] <hych> Okay, I just remove xp and install ubuntu 12.... How do I move the launch to appear down instead of the left side corner
[16:06] <hych> does ubuntu allows you to move the launch from the left side to the bottom on the screen??
[16:06] <Malimbar> hych, unfortunately that's not available by default
[16:07] <Malimbar> not yet anyways
[16:07] <escott_> trying2code, no
[16:07] <hych> okay, so how can I move it to the bottom ? so it will not allow me?
[16:07] <Malimbar> hych, you could try this though: www.unixmen.com/move-unity-launcher-to-the-bottom-with-unity-bottom-launcher-ppa-ubuntu/
[16:08] <trying2code> escott_, thanks for confirming
[16:08] <LgNexus4> Hych i use the cinnamon desktop from linux mint it rocks. Google search it there are guides to install desktop
[16:08] <hych> okay Malimbar
[16:08] <Malimbar> :)
[16:08] <hych> okay LgNexus4
[16:08] <nick_h> any idea why this configure command would've resulted in only 1 cpu being used?  ./configure CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2 --prefix=/opt
[16:08] <hych> let me take a look what Malimbar recommend
[16:09] <LgNexus4> Hych the cinnamon gui works great :)
[16:09] <hych> I have a macbook pro , why is mac look like ubuntu
[16:09] <hych> who copying who
[16:09] <hych> lol
[16:09] <hych> okay
[16:09] <Malimbar> LgNexus4, true, but that's like someone asking "I'd like to put my fork in my left hand" and you recommending "just stab it with chopsticks"
[16:09] <hych> LgNexus4:
[16:09] <bigobony> mac copying
[16:09] <wildwind> hych: I've searched fot it 2 days ago, but I want to move it to right side. I've looked into th source code. Seems that it not even been designed. :)
[16:10] <escott_> nick_h, when are you expecting multiple cpus to be used
[16:10] <hych> okay wildwind
[16:10] <nick_h> escott_: when compiling with "make"
[16:11] <escott_> nick_h, use make -j #
[16:11] <wildwind> hych: but there is Ubuntu Unity Plugin Rotated, search for it. It moves the panel to the bottom
[16:11] <Sail> whenever starting apache service it says:  Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[16:11] <Sail> httpd (pid 14456) already running
[16:12] <wildwind> hych: it's still in dev, keep in mind
[16:12] <LgNexus4> Malimbar you all right? I run unity on android phone with about 10 other gui linux is linux on any device if it works it works
[16:12] <rex_> which is the best compression software?
[16:12] <Sail> rex_: tar.gz
[16:12] <nick_h> escott_: escott_ thanks. do i not need to specify "CFLAGS=-O2" or "CXXFLAGS=-O2" with ./configure ?
[16:13] <rex_> Sail: ok let me try.
[16:13] <Malimbar> LgNexus4, too many internet debates recently. wears ya down
[16:13] <wildwind> rex_: "best" in what sense? space, time, pretty look?
[16:13] <rex_> space
[16:13] <Malimbar> wildwind, pretty look?
[16:13] <escott_> nick_h, i've never seen anyone do that but it has nothing at all to do with parallelization of anything
[16:13] <wildwind> Malimbar: :)
[16:14] <hych> Malimbar: this should work for 12.
[16:14] <Malimbar> :)
[16:14] <hych>  Install Unity Bottom Oneiric Launcher on Ubuntu 11.10
[16:14] <nick_h> escott_: heh thans
[16:14] <NoNameProduct> is pretty look really important about a compression software? most important is if it works efficient or it doesn't ...
[16:14] <nick_h> *thanks
[16:15] <wildwind> rex_: I think rar, 7zip and freearc is on top in terms of space
[16:15] <Malimbar> NoNameProduct, then again compressing from right click is kind've sexy
[16:15] <hych> Okay, I will try what Malimbar recommend
[16:15] <hych> thanks all
[16:15] <Malimbar> hope it works
[16:16] <rex_> how to check the compression is good or bad, i mean trying on big file or small. Which will show good result. I want to compress more than in GB files.
[16:16] <LgNexus4> Malimbar just people catching on to idea of more then one way to skin a tiger. :) good chat have to work on cell pgone rooting pain in the butt
[16:16] <rex_> Right click compression does not show good compression on small files
[16:16] <wildwind> NoNameProduct: hey, I'm just kidding, Windows-user housewife style
[16:16] <llutz> sail either ignore that apache-warning or set a fqdn in your hosts-file like "<IP_ADDRESS>  foo.example.com foo", or set one in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf "ServerName bla.example.com"
[16:16] <NoNameProduct> wildwind ;)
[16:17] <LgNexus4> Later all have fun :)
[16:17] <larry_> hi, does anyone know how to get photoprint to work in 12.04? I have managed a work around but would like it to run
[16:17] <escott_> rex_, for small files there may not be enough to compress
[16:17] <Malimbar> what type of file btw?
[16:18] <hych> on the desktop screen, when I press a button on the keyboard there is a pop up small box that comes up on the right side of the screen..what is that box for??
[16:18] <Sail> llutz: i dont hav httpd.conf in apache2 dir should i create it?
[16:18] <Heather_> can someon recommend a good application for monitoring activity on my web server? Like statistics etc
[16:18] <Malimbar> hych, search I think
[16:18] <llutz> Sail: yes you can
[16:19] <genio_> i use pinguy xD
[16:19] <Malimbar> hych, yeah, searching the clutter of files on the desktop :)
[16:19] <rex_> mp3,mp4, drivers, pdf, chm,mainly videos
[16:19] <girffe> Hi, I'm running 12.04, and when I try to switch to a different tty via ctrl+alt+F1-F7, I get a red screen on my leftmost monitor, and no prompt
[16:19] <NoNameProduct> you won't be able to compress mp3 efficiently ...
[16:19] <NoNameProduct> 'cause mp3 is a compressed format
[16:19] <rex_> ok
[16:20] <Sexy_SaxMan> Hello. I'm going to be installing ubuntu on a friends computer. any tips?
[16:20] <Malimbar> that would be like trying to compress a zip file
[16:20] <girffe> I have a GTX 680, using NVIDIA's drivers, version 295.33
[16:20] <rex_> i have seen a 6.1 gb compressed in just 12mb
[16:20] <rex_> , how can it be possible.
[16:20] <wildwind> rex_: same goes for mp4 video :)
[16:20] <escott_> rex_, mp3 already compressed, mp4 already compressed, pdf already compressed, videoes already compressed... sensing a pattern here?
[16:20] <Malimbar> rex_, if there is a LOT of repitition in the file
[16:20] <bekks> rex_: Having a 4TB file with "0" only, you can compress it to even less than 12MB :)
[16:21] <Kroach> how can I filter stdout to leave only the last line with sed(or maybe another tool)?
[16:21] <rex_> bekks: how
[16:21] <Malimbar> bekks, like in the kb range!
[16:21] <girffe> Kroach: tail -1
[16:21] <rex_> kgb?
[16:21] <wildwind> rex_: but it can be re-compressed to any desired size, with proportional loss of quality
[16:21] <llutz> rex_: "dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=10g count=1"  then "tar -czf bigfile.tgz && ls -l bigfile*" be surprised
[16:21] <llutz> 10G
[16:21] <bekks> rex_: You just need to know how many 0 are in there, you dont need to store each 0.
[16:21] <larry_> I have come to the conclusion 12.04 is ubuntus answer to viats
[16:22] <bekks> larry_: What is "viats"?
[16:22] <Malimbar> rex_, it would store something like (0 x 10 ^ 34)
[16:22] <larry_> vista
[16:22] <NoNameProduct> escott while compressing pdf you might be able to reach a compression ratio of 70% or even less ... it's dependent of the pdf file itself
[16:22] <larry_> me no typee good
[16:22] <bekks> Malimbar: I just would store "0" and "10^34".
[16:22] <lee_> I have a file named   :w    how  I can delete with git rm
[16:22] <Malimbar> right
[16:22] <llutz> lee_: rm -- ":w"
[16:23] <rex_> which will work, without loosing file quality?
[16:23] <llutz> lee_: wait, git rm?
[16:23] <rex_> Malimbar: seems too small
[16:23] <NoNameProduct> compressing files with zip or tar.gz or even rar will always work without losing file quali
[16:23] <bekks> rex_: Think of ten sheet of paper, each with a 0 on it. Do you need to keep all ten sheets?
[16:24] <llutz> lee_:git rm -- ":w"
[16:24] <lee_> llutz,  yes
[16:24] <rex_> bekks: no
[16:24] <bekks> rex_: Or would it be ok to keep just one, and another with "10x" on it?
[16:24] <Kroach> girffe: tail accepts filenames as it's arguments, I need something to use like this: "command | filter", so that I get only the last line of "command" output
[16:24] <escott_> Kroach, how about tail?
[16:24] <lee_> lledet,  it doesn work .
[16:24] <ollie_> I'm using 12.04, installed amd drivers from the website, and now everything is red. booted into recovery mode and dropped to a root shell, what do I do? I cant seem to apt-get anything, soomething about a read only lock file
[16:24] <rex_> llutz: how much it will compress?
[16:25] <llutz> Kroach: cmd | tail -1
[16:25] <llutz> rex_: "a lot"
[16:25] <rex_> llutz: any guess?
[16:25] <llutz> rex_: no
[16:25] <bekks> rex_: It strongly depends on the data to be compressed.
[16:25] <wildwind> rex_: in your case all possible compression with acceptible quality loss was done before. You need a new hdd, i think ^:)
[16:25] <Kroach> llutz: I just tried it, it prints the whole output anyway
[16:25] <girffe> Kroach: if you give no arguments to tail, it will read from stdin
[16:26] <rex_> wildwind: i think same
[16:26] <llutz> Kroach:what command
[16:26] <llutz> Kroach: cmd 2>&1| tail -1
[16:26] <girffe> Kroach: so cmd | tail -1 should give you what you want
[16:27] <manners> grrr now im the owner of the files i still cant chmod them
[16:27] <llutz> Kroach: if "cmd" writes output not only to STDOUT, you have to redirect it
[16:27] <rex_> But i have downloaded some "snow darwin" file name to install Apple Mac OS X in vmware player. THat file size is just less than 20mb, and when i extract it, its properties show 6.2gb near that. Without any los of quality nor of any software
[16:27] <Kroach> girffe, llutz: the command is gpg -d filename, and there's no difference in output between gpg -d filename and gpg -d filename | tail -1
[16:28] <escott_> manners, you were given the answer to this question earlier. please stop wasting our time
[16:28] <hych> how do I remove the search Malimbar
[16:28] <manners> sorry i must have missed it
[16:28] <manners> scrolling now
[16:28] <Sail> llutz: not working
[16:28] <escott_> manners, your files are on an NTFS partition. you CANNOT chmod them
[16:28] <girffe> Kroach: It's likely what llutz was saying, then, that some or all of the output from gpg is actually to stderr, so 2>&1| would direct both stderr and sdtout to tail
[16:28] <hych> manners: I am in system settings
[16:29] <escott_> manners, it is not a POSIX filesystem and does not support POSIX permissions
[16:29] <hych> how do i remove the search box
[16:29] <Malimbar> hych, remove the search?
[16:29] <hych> when I type something in the search box nothing happen
[16:29] <bekks> manners: You have been told three times at least. You even responded to those comments.
[16:29] <hych> yes, the small box on the desktop
[16:29] <larry_> how van i copy a file from memory stick into a directory?
[16:29] <larry_> oops
[16:29] <Malimbar> eh... you're using the new rotated unity now, right?
[16:30] <larry_> how can i copy a file from memory stick into a directory?
[16:30]  * Malimbar shrugs
[16:30] <escott_> Kroach, do you need to redirect stderr to stdout? command -options 2>&1 | tail -1
[16:30] <Malimbar> no idea
[16:30] <hych> yes manners
[16:30] <hych> yes Malimbar
[16:30] <manners> the only answer i was told is its to do with the way its mounted
[16:30] <Malimbar> larry_, drag and drop?
[16:30] <manners> can someone explain how on earth i change the way its mounted?
[16:30] <manners> or give me a link to an idiots guide
[16:30] <llutz> !ntfs-3g | manners
[16:30] <escott_> !fstab | manners
[16:30] <larry_> it wont allow it, says i dont have permission
[16:31] <escott_> larry_, what are the permissions on the file?
[16:31] <IdleOne> larry_: sudo cp /path/of/file /where/to/copy
[16:31] <larry_> it is a printer file that phtoprint needs.
[16:31] <girffe> manners: why do you want to chmod the files? iirc, it's already 777 for all files in a mounted NTFS partition. Do you want to change that for security reasons, or because the ls coloring is messed up?
[16:31] <Malimbar> right click on the file and click properties
[16:31] <manners> ntfs-3g wont install properly as its requires samba4 which failes to install
[16:31] <Kroach> llutz, girffe, escott_: gpg -d fname 2>&1 | tail -1 still prints the whole output
[16:32] <larry_> what do i call the siurce path ( stick )
[16:32] <girffe> Kroach: try tail -f1 instead, I've had some issues in portability with that option
[16:33] <escott_> girffe, how can you follow stdin
[16:33] <larry_> sorry I have become absolutel P--- off with 12.04, I cant find anything because of the stupid menus and pop ups
[16:33] <Kroach> girffe: it prints: "tail: option used in invalid context -- 1" in the beginning and strips the last line from gpg's output
[16:34] <girffe> Kroach, escott_: sorry, wrong letter, meant to say "tail -n1"
[16:34] <larry_> reaches for 10.1 installation disc
[16:34] <neodemi_> hi, my computers been itching at me for a while that 11.04 is no longer supported and to go to 11.10
[16:34] <neodemi_> just upgraded, and gnome is now gone
[16:34] <escott_> !upgrade | neodemi_
[16:34] <neodemi_> any way to get it back and get rid of this hideous bastardisation of a gui that is unity
[16:34] <veyoon> larry_:  felt the same at the beginning, now I love it
[16:34] <escott_> !notunity | neodemi_
[16:35] <lws> Anybody know why ubuntu keeps telling me that it's going to check my drives on the next startup, but never does?
[16:35] <larry_> bye guys, I give up, leastwise I CAN PRINT USINGTHE WIN XP PARTITION
[16:35] <lws> "*** /dev/sdb1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ** <-- this never goes away.
[16:35] <Kroach> girffe: now it doesn't give any error messages but I get the whole gpg output again
[16:36] <Malimbar> lws, it never does? that's weird.
[16:36] <girffe> Kroach: that's weird to me, can you try just making a test text file with a couple of lines, and doing 'cat file | tail -1'?
[16:36] <lws> Malimbar: I think so too!
[16:36] <girffe> Kroach: not sure why tail isn't doing anything
[16:36] <larry_> veyoon,  where i was one click away now i have to shut three windows and walk around the desk four times with a foot in my ear.. leastwise thats how it feels
[16:37] <llutz> girffe: tail -1 file, please no  cat misuse .)
[16:37] <Kroach> girffe: it works fine with the file
[16:37] <veyoon> larry_:  yeah, I know. you need to get used to it
[16:37] <Malimbar> lws, stupid question, how are you shutting it down?
[16:37] <girffe> llutz: I just want to replicate the situation so it's reading from stdin
[16:37] <escott_> Kroach, works for me. is this symmetric or asymetric cipher
[16:37] <lws> Malimbar: Usually I do shutdown -r now
[16:37] <girffe> Kroach: try gpg -d fname > out.txt
[16:37] <veyoon> larry_:  but there is a lot you can customize by using compiz config utlitiy
[16:37] <LS1> hi, anyone here know if the Intel 330 series solid state drives support AES 128 encryption if one sets an HDD password via the BIOS? I know the 320 and 520 series do but I'm finding mixed info from Intel tech support and on forums. Is there a way to check?
[16:37] <Kroach> escott_: asymetric
[16:37] <girffe> and see if you get any output to the terminal, and what the contents are of out.txt
[16:38] <larry_> ve for instance now i want to look atthe disk structure  (places) but cant see how
[16:38] <larry_> it is very frustrating
[16:38] <Malimbar> try using the normal menu in the upper right next time
[16:38] <escott_> Kroach, and your command line is "gpg -d filename.gpg 2>&1 | tail -1"
[16:38] <larry_> veyoon,  is there a utilty to disable all the bouncy icons abd put my tool bar back on top ?
[16:39] <Kroach> girffe: I know about this one, I just wanted to do this without writing the output to a file
[16:39] <veyoon> larry_:  maybe you try mate, xfce or another window manager instead
[16:39] <girffe> Kroach: yeah, I just want to see what happens
[16:39] <girffe> Kroach: and make sure all of the output is indeed to stdout
[16:40] <veyoon> larry_:  making unity look like gnome2 doesn't make much sense
[16:40] <larry_> thanks veyoon  but it seems much simpler to just instal 10.1 withthe added advantage photoprint will work
[16:41] <veyoon> larry_:  I wouldnt revert to an older version, just install another window manager and youre fine
[16:41] <larry_> seems like they wanted some thing to look and work like vista
[16:41] <jiltdil> Channel for scada?
[16:42] <Kroach> girffe: gpg -d filename > ouput.txt prints all the GPG info(user, key ID, etc.) and only writes decrypted file contents to output.txt
[16:42] <larry_> thanks, have tried cairo butthat just puts more bouncy icons on the screen stealingthe bottom of the screen as well as the left hand side, maybe it would be better to have two screens, one for me to use and one for the os  to look pretty
[16:42] <girffe> Kroach: and the info you want is the last line output.txt?
[16:43] <llutz> Kroach: try gpg -qd ...
[16:43] <Kroach> girffe: yes
[16:43] <escott_> Kroach, there is a bit of extraneous information I guess related to stdin and the need to request the password, but its fine otherwise
[16:43] <girffe> Kroach: gpg -d filename 2> /dev/null | tail -1
[16:44] <lee_> I get in the #git channel  ,but it prompts   #git    cannot send to channel . why?
[16:44] <Kroach> llutz: the output is the same
[16:44] <veyoon> larry_:  I found getting used to sth new is the better way. Someday all the legacy stuff will be gone any way
[16:44] <larry_> even the software center cant  list files alphabetivally
[16:45] <Malimbar> software center has a lot of organizational issues I think
[16:45] <larry_> maybe but in the meantime when I want to print I have to reboot onto my win xp partition, not ideal
[16:45] <neodemi_> alright, i've installed gnome-shell
[16:45] <Kroach> girffe: this still gives the same output
[16:45] <Malimbar> neodemi_, hope you like it
[16:46] <Malimbar> throws me off personally
[16:46] <neodemi_> it looks like crap
[16:46] <Malimbar> lol;
[16:46] <neodemi_> there are no icons
[16:46] <neodemi_> everything is messed up
[16:46] <larry_> neodemi_,   is that a gnome shell for 12.04 ?
[16:46] <Malimbar> were you the one that specifically said you wanted gnome?
[16:46] <neodemi_> its whatever gnome-shell was in the 11.10 repo
[16:47] <neodemi_> i just want a clean looking desktop, like ive had since ubuntu 6
[16:47] <larry_> me too neodemi_
[16:47] <welshanproud> hi guys just wondering what took me so long to become a linux user...loving ubuntu
[16:48] <welshanproud> any new ubuntu users here who would like to chat
[16:48] <neodemi_> so the solution to removing unity as it stands is to break everything
[16:49] <escott> !register | lee
[16:49] <escott> !register | lee_
[16:49] <Malimbar> do we have a channel just for ubuntu enthusiats to chat? haven't checked
[16:49] <girffe> Kroach: this is very strange. Can you try 'gpg -d filename 2> /dev/null | tail -1 > output.txt'?
[16:49] <escott> !offtopic | Malimbar
[16:49] <DJones> welshanproud: You're probably better asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic thats the general chat channel
[16:49] <Malimbar> escott, thanks
[16:50] <Malimbar> and ubottu
[16:51] <Kroach> girffe: all the GPG info printed, last line of decrypted file written to output.txt
[16:52] <Sicp> I can't seem to find where I can download the Cool language? (Classroom Object-Oriented Language) for Compiler Construction class
[16:52] <neodemi_> so no idea how to make 11.10 use gnome 2
[16:52] <girffe> Kroach: I don't even know how the GPG info is still printing, since tail isn't producing it, gpg is piped to tail, and gpg's stderr should be going to /dev/null
[16:53] <escott> neodemi_, you cant use gnome2
[16:53] <girffe> at the very least, you should be able to pipe that tail -1 command into something else, and it will only read that line
[16:53] <socomm> Hello. Can anyone give me pointer on how to auto-start service on ubuntu?
[16:53] <socomm> Hello. Can anyone give me pointer on how to auto-start service on ubuntu?
[16:53] <escott> girffe, it does do something weird to make sure some of it gets to the console. its a bit odd
[16:53] <neodemi_> any way to make gnome 3 behave the same as gnome 2 then
[16:54] <Kroach> girfe: seems like only the decrypted content is printed to stdout, the GPG info overrides any filtering I tried to apply
[16:54] <girffe> Kroach: if you do gpg -d filename > /dev/null 2> /dev/null, do you still get any output to the screen?
[16:54] <neodemi_> because its currently either horribly broken, or trying to look like a mac
[16:54] <neodemi_> neither of which is much use
[16:55] <girffe> Kroach: a weird hack you can try is 'gpg -d filename --output /dev/stdout | tail -1'
[16:55] <larry_> bye guys,
[16:55] <escott> neodemi_, there are a couple of projects. cinnamon and mate. not sure if either is supported for ubuntu
[16:55] <escott> !cinnamon
[16:55] <Inoki> Hi guys. Anybody any idea what could be the cause of sudden, unexpected, random freezes? Just like that? Often happens while I run Chrome. I'm on Ubuntu Studio 12.10.
[16:55] <Kroach> gpg -d filename > /dev/null 2> /dev/null still prints the GPG info, not all of it, though
[16:56] <TwinSwords> Can anyone give suggestion on how to fix distorted sound in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?
[16:56] <socomm> Hello. Can anyone give me pointer on how to auto-start service on ubuntu?
[16:56] <Inoki> Yer and Kernel 3.5.17
[16:57] <girffe> Kroach: yeah, gpg is doing something weird with the terminal, I didn't even know it was possible to get output to the terminal when stderr and stdout are blocked
[16:57] <girffe> that other command I gave may work, though
[16:58] <Kroach> girfee: 'gpg -d --output /dev/stdout filename  | tail -1' prints the GPG info followed by "File `/dev/stdout' exists. Overwrite? (y/N)"
[16:59] <girffe> Kroach: ugh, gpg is being the weirdest program
[17:00] <escott> Kroach, try "-o-" instead of --output
[17:00] <socomm> Hello. Can anyone give me pointer on how to auto-start service on ubuntu?
[17:00] <escott> !upstart | socomm
[17:01] <Kroach> escott: the same
[17:01] <escott> Kroach, clearly they have some security based reason for doing this. not sure what it is. why do you need to redirect everything like this?
[17:02] <Rustyblade> Max401: Hey max?
[17:02] <socomm> wow this upstart thing is not very good
[17:02] <girffe> Kroach: if you want to pipe the last line to something else, you can just do 'gpg -d filename | tail -f | othercommand', and ignore the other stuff printed to the console
[17:03] <girffe> Kroach: and by tail -f I meant tail -1
[17:04] <abdostar> I am hooked guys, I just come here to say it, I love my new OS, I love my Distros (mint et ubuntu),
[17:04] <Rustyblade> Hey guys
[17:05] <Rustyblade> I am need of installing wine but I get these problems when I try "sudo apt-get install wine" or "sudo apt-get install wine1.4-amd64"
[17:05] <TwinSwords> Hey guys anyone in here that can help with problems on Ubuntu?
[17:05] <Rustyblade> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419225/
[17:06] <Malimbar> Rustyblade, why not install it through the software center?
[17:06] <Rustyblade> It says it has dependencies problems
[17:06] <roasted> Question - I have two file servers. Once a day I want to rsync server A to server B. The trick is, I want server B to automatically shut down when the rsync is complete. Not at a specific time, but after rsync is complete. Any insight on how I could do this?
[17:06] <Malimbar> hmm
[17:06] <escott> TwinSwords, check alsamixer and see if anything is maxed out
[17:06] <escott> roasted, shutdown -h now
[17:06] <TwinSwords> Master, PCM, Front, and Mic are all maxed out
[17:07] <Rustyblade> So.. No one can help me?
[17:07] <Kroach> girffe, escott: I was trying to use the last line of output as a variable in a bash script, so I wanted to reduce the ouput to the last line only
[17:07] <escott> TwinSwords, try taking those down to 80% and see if it helps
[17:08] <roasted> escott: without being root, preferably.
[17:08] <Malimbar> Rustyblade, try it from the software center isntead of through the command line
[17:08] <escott> Kroach, seems a bit silly. just let it be a little noisy
[17:08] <escott> roasted, setuid on shutdown?
[17:08] <Rustyblade> I get this
[17:08] <roasted> escott: er, what?
[17:08] <girffe> Kroach: var=`gpg -d filename | tail -1` ought to do this
[17:09] <Kroach> girffe, escott: I just thought the whole output will get assigned to the variable
[17:09] <Malimbar> the difference is that it's already cleaned of syntax, and hopefully of at least some of the broken packages
[17:09] <TwinSwords> nope doesn't work on any of my players
[17:09] <roasted> escott: come to think of it, can't I add an entry in sudoers allowing me to pass that command without root?
[17:09] <escott> roasted, sudo chmod +s `which shutdown`
[17:09] <Rustyblade> http://imagebin.org/238537
[17:09] <girffe> this should work, since we saw earlier that tail -1 printed only the correct line to the file
[17:09] <Malimbar> damn
[17:09] <Malimbar> I'm out of ideas
[17:09] <roasted> escott: perhaps this - http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_allow_non-super_users_to_shutdown_computer_in_Linux
[17:09] <escott> roasted, or that
[17:09] <Malimbar> Rustyblade, you didn't change your sources or anything by chance?
[17:09] <Rustyblade> really already?
[17:10] <girffe> it seems that gpg is just using some sort of black magic to put their text to the terminal
[17:10] <Rustyblade> I dont think so..
[17:10] <TwinSwords> Right now it can't even find the ppa at all.  Tells me it find fetch them.  And looking into the source.list file it doesn't even have the repository for ppa.
[17:10] <Kroach> girrfe: yes, it does work correctly in the script, I should've tried doing this in the beginning
[17:10] <escott> Rustyblade, are you running any ppas
[17:11] <Rustyblade> Here is my sources list
[17:11] <Kroach> girffe, escott: thanks for the help
[17:11] <girffe> Kroach: I don't blame you, gpg output redirection doesn't seem to be the most intuitive thing in the world
[17:12] <Rustyblade> http://imagebin.org/238538
[17:12] <Malimbar> Rustyblade...
[17:12]  * Malimbar shrugs
[17:12] <Rustyblade> Yes...
[17:13] <Rustyblade> I am screwed aren't I?
[17:13] <dury> hi there all
[17:13] <Malimbar> Rustyblade, it's not htat you're screwed, it's that the answer is "meh, I dunno"
[17:13] <dury> how can I install linux in a laptop that runs windows 8
[17:14] <socomm> dury: don't
[17:14] <escott> dury, don't see why not
[17:14] <Malimbar> Rustyblade, it's like this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09/16/comic-the-difference-between-android-and-iphone-this-pretty-much-sums-it-up/
[17:14] <dury> is it hard?
[17:14] <escott> dury, if you have secure boot enabled it would be easier to disable it. if you have efi that can be a pain
[17:14] <socomm> dury why don't you try linux inside virtualbox before you try to do it on a physical machine
[17:15] <Rustyblade> Lol XD
[17:15] <dury> win stinks
[17:15] <socomm> dury: https://www.virtualbox.org/
[17:15] <dury> not in virtual
[17:15] <socomm> dury: linux desktop stinks even more
[17:16] <rlsj99> Anyone here who runs a LAN with Network Manager on Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:16] <dury> I prefer real
[17:16] <socomm> dury: good luck
[17:16] <dury> gessss what a supporter
[17:16] <Rustyblade> Max401, helped me with it before
[17:16] <TwinSwords> socomm: If you tried WIns 8 then you wouldn't be saying that about Linux
[17:16] <Rustyblade> But I had to reinstall Ubuntu and now it doesn't work
[17:17] <socomm> TwinSwords: I have, and I have used linux desktop exclusively voer over 12 years also
[17:17] <socomm> shouldn't say linux desktop, OSS desktop
[17:18] <TwinSwords> ah OK
[17:18] <TwinSwords> But does anyone know why Linux can't seem to fetch ppa from the website?
[17:19] <TwinSwords> Whenever I do an update it just fails at that step.
[17:19] <dury> how do I know if secure boot it's enabled or disabled?
[17:19] <escott> TwinSwords, is the ppa down?
[17:19] <socomm> TwinSwords: ppa server is down? dns issue? could be anything
[17:19] <TwinSwords> problem is from what I can fine its not even there
[17:19] <escott> dury, check in the bios. unfortunately thats the best we can say... its somewhere in the bios
[17:20] <TwinSwords> *find
[17:20] <socomm> dury: how old is your laptop?
[17:20] <dury> escott: right, thanks
[17:20] <wildwind> TwinSwords: maybe it's as simple as that ppa is down?
[17:20] <TwinSwords> socomm: The problem with it being down is that it would have been a week now.
[17:21] <TwinSwords> socomm: That could be the problem yes.
[17:21] <socomm> TwinSwords: maintainers do have lives outside of tech you know
[17:21] <dury> in case I bought one with bloody win8.... I want to know how to perform with it that's all
[17:21] <TwinSwords> I understand that
[17:22] <roasted> Correct me if I'm wrong, but the group "admin" on Ubuntu = sudoers, no?
[17:22] <roasted> because it's telling me now that the group admin doesn't exist.....
[17:22] <llutz> roasted: its "sudo" group now
[17:22] <socomm> roasted: huh
[17:22] <TwinSwords> socomm: The other thing I noticed is that in my /etc/apt/source.list I don't have anything for ppa.
[17:22] <roasted> llutz: oh, snazzy
[17:22] <roasted> llutz: as of 12.04?
[17:22] <llutz> roasted: they changed it in 12.04 iirc
[17:22] <wildwind> TwinSwords: so check it with wget or smth
[17:22] <escott> roasted, as of 12.10 it becomes sudo (like debian)
[17:23] <socomm> TwinSwords: I don't usually mess with ppas too much but from what i remember they are kept elsewhere
[17:23] <socomm> TwinSwords: i could be wrong though
[17:23] <roasted> escott: I'm on 12.04, and it seems to have taken it.
[17:23] <TwinSwords> ah great
[17:23] <escott> roasted, i thought it was 12.10... maybe i just noticed it 6mo later
[17:23] <wildwind> TwinSwords: there is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ also
[17:23] <TwinSwords> wildwind: Do you have the url because the one I found is coming up with a 404 error.
[17:23] <escott> roasted, i guess i didn't have a fresh install until a month or two ago
[17:23] <roasted> escott: I'll be able to confirm that in a minute or two when I get done and booted up. It kept saying admin group does not exist, while the sudo thing worked fine.
[17:23] <llutz> roasted: escott 12.04 had sudo too, not sure about 11.10
[17:24] <roasted> escott: llutz: yep, 12.04 has it. Works great.
[17:24] <rlsj99> Anyone here who runs a LAN with Network Manager on Ubuntu 12.04?  I have a peculiar problem: intermittent to very slow startup when accessing machines on Windows Network.
[17:24] <roasted> appreciate the insight!
[17:24] <TwinSwords> wildwind: When I look in there ya I found the ppas.
[17:24] <paul__> hey, i have installed ubuntu 12.10 and when i want to restart the service networking, gnome disappears and then there is a message that ubuntu is running in low graphics mode .. my desktop environment is gnome 3.6
[17:25] <roasted> however, my darn "shutdown without root" thing is still failing. <_<
[17:25] <socomm> lol
[17:25] <dury> socomm: great laptop to run debian on it preferable lenovo brand... would you suggest me one ?
[17:25] <mojtabam> Hi
[17:25] <paul__> can anyone help me pls?
[17:25] <emx> does anyone have experience with DVCS-Autosync?
[17:25] <dury> paul__: ask
[17:26] <wildwind> TwinSwords: so that all ppas give you 404?
[17:26] <socomm> dury: just about any laptop will run debian nowadays http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[17:26] <Phaba> paul_, how you ending the daemon?
[17:26] <TwinSwords> paul_: The only time I had that problem I had to reinstall gdm and the gnome-desktop-environment
[17:26] <mojtabam> Do you know any place which have ubuntu tutorials on it?
[17:26] <Phaba> whats the daemon's name...etc
[17:26] <TwinSwords> But that was when I tried to remove all my audio files and then reinstall them.
[17:26] <mojtabam> I am interested in cmd
[17:26] <escott> roasted, what is your sudoers line for passwordless sudo shutdown?
[17:26] <dury> socomm: thanks appreciate it
[17:26] <Phaba> mojtabam, bourne??
[17:26] <TwinSwords> wildwind: Not all of them one in particular though
[17:26] <KScorp> mojtabam, chetori?
[17:26] <mojtabam> salam
[17:26] <mojtabam> merci
[17:26] <wildwind> rlsj99: what do you mean "startup when accessing machines"?
[17:27] <socomm> dury: dell sells some plaptops pre-loaded with ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/dell
[17:27] <KScorp> khoobi? komaki az dastam barmiad? mojtabam
[17:28] <wildwind> TwinSwords: disable it (comment for ex.) and update
[17:28] <roasted> escott: %wheel ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown       with jason a member of wheel.
[17:28] <mojtabam> merci, man taze ubuntu nasb kardam, va mikham bebinam ke aya siti hast ke amoozeshe cmd ro betunam bebinam
[17:28] <llutz> roasted: you should have stopped immediately following the tutorial you linked before, after reading this line: "... Temporarily change permissions of /etc/sudoers, so you have write permission. "
[17:28] <KScorp> terminal dige manzoorete? are ziade
[17:28] <mojtabam> are
[17:29] <wildwind> TwinSwords: then contact devs or google if it has been moved
[17:29] <mojtabam> dastet dard nakone
[17:29] <rlsj99> wildwind: When a click on "Browse Network" under "Home Folder," it gets to "Windows Network all right but clicking on Windows Network typically responds with something like "no share response" (I'll try it and get the exact words) after about 100 seconds.
[17:30] <TwinSwords> wildwind: Already but I'm still working on my Ubuntu so I'm not even sure how to disable that particular search
[17:30] <roasted> llutz: I did it in recovery mode
[17:30] <roasted> llutz: gott arun, thanks
[17:30] <socomm> did you guys know ubuntu ships with spyware?
[17:30] <escott> roasted, do you have multiple wheel lines in sudoers
[17:30] <mindbreaker> hey, i have installed ubuntu 12.10 and when i want to restart the service networking, gnome disappears and then there is a message that ubuntu is running in low graphics mode .. my desktop environment is gnome 3.6
[17:30] <socomm> https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do
[17:30] <TwinSwords> yep read that on slashdot.com
[17:31] <xangua> !ot | socomm
[17:31] <escott> roasted, see if this is applicable http://askubuntu.com/questions/100051/why-is-sudoers-nopasswd-option-not-working
[17:31] <wildwind> TwinSwords: comment the line with ppa, insert # in the beginning
[17:33] <socomm> can anyone help me with this error? start: Unknown job: vboxautostart-service
[17:33] <socomm> I'm able to 'service vboxautostart-service start' just fine
[17:34] <EmmEight> what linux distro closely resembles windows 8
[17:34] <EmmEight> graphicaly
[17:34] <socomm> EmmEight: freebsd
[17:34] <EmmEight> ha
[17:35] <wildwind> EmmEight: no one yet
[17:35] <socomm> I've got the service enabled for run-level 2-3-4-5
[17:35] <socomm> vboxautostart-service     0:off  1:off  2:on   3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off
[17:35] <wildwind> EmmEight: but modders are working hard :)
[17:35] <socomm> but the service does not run at all at boot, I'm guessing because of the same error
[17:35] <Mrokii> Hello. After a crash I am unable to boot into Unity anymore from an SSD. I am always thrown back at the login screen. Is there something I can do about it? Or should I re-install Ubuntu?
[17:35] <llutz> !runlevel |so
[17:35] <llutz> ^ socomm
[17:36] <poltergeist> hello
[17:36] <socomm> llutz: doesn't solve my issue
[17:36] <rlsj99> wildwind: "Failed to retrieve share list from server"  But that isn't logical.  I just installed Ubuntu yesterday, before that was running Windows Vista on this same hardware, no network problem.
[17:36] <socomm> wildwind: wasted effort, even windows users don't like the interface
[17:36] <socomm> rlsj99: could it be a driver isisue?
[17:36] <rlsj99> wildwind: And sometimes it works if I keep trying.
[17:36] <socomm> s/isisue/issue/g
[17:37] <wildwind> socomm: RMS is exaggerating the threat (as often) but yes, it's a kind of survey[lance]
[17:37] <rlsj99> socomm: This is a _wired_ network, not wifi.
[17:37] <socomm> rlsj99: could it be a driver issue?
[17:37] <wildwind> socomm: every $THING has its fans
[17:37] <luan> hello
[17:38] <socomm> rlsj99: you can always work yourself up the OSI model
[17:38] <socomm> wildwind: sure even nazis have fanatics now adays
[17:39] <rlsj99> socomm: I suppose it could, actually.  I never heard of intermittent software, but that is an idea worth checking.  No doubt checking it will be VERY educational!
[17:39] <socomm> rlsj99: ok could be software issue, could be hardware issue, could be both
[17:39] <socomm> rlsj99: check your connections, check your wire, check your nic
[17:40] <wildwind> rlsj99: it's logical, Ubuntu can't authenticate on server even to get share list. That Vista was in domain, no?
[17:40] <socomm> rlsj99: driver could be an issue, especially if got some exotic or new chipset
[17:40] <rlsj99> Anybody: Please recommend a way to get all these "entered the room" and "Left the room" messages out of my display.
[17:40] <socomm> rlsj99: could be a firewall issue
[17:40] <socomm> rlsj99: client specific
[17:41] <rlsj99> wildwind: All the same domain, nothing changed except new Ubuntu.  The domain name is "Localan," admittedly not very original, but after all it's local.
[17:41] <llutz> you are able to "service vboxautostart-service start" just fine, because that does nothing
[17:41] <socomm> rlsj99: and like wildwind mentioned, could also be an authentication issue
[17:42] <socomm> llutz: yeah? does nothing but spawn my vms ....
[17:42] <rlsj99> socomm: Not a firewall issue unless it's in the Ubuntu defaults.
[17:42] <rlsj99> Nothing on Localan uses passwords.
[17:43] <socomm> rlsj99: ubuntu might be scanning the 'workgroup' domain which I think is the default 'domain' for windows shares
[17:43] <socomm> rlsj99: you can try using smbclient manually to connect to your share and see if there are any problems
[17:43] <wildwind> socomm: this kind of surveillance is inevitable in a new "software ecosystem" paradigm. look at apple, android, win phone etc. markets can't develop (and push the tech forward) without knowing it's customers
[17:44] <rlsj99> socomm: Good possibility!  But how do I change it to "Localan?"  Note that sometimes it works.
[17:44] <socomm> rlsj99: google, don't know off top of my head, sorry
[17:45] <socomm> wildwind: guess it can be rationalized many ways, but rather stay off ubuntu desktop 'til its gets sorted out
[17:45] <rlsj99> wildwind: and socomm: Thanks, gentlemen.  You've given me a couple of ideas.
[17:46] <larry_> hi how do i fix this   larry@larry-O-E-M:~$ photoprint
[17:46] <larry_> photoprint: error while loading shared libraries: libgutenprint.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:46] <larry_> larry@larry-O-E-M:~$
[17:46] <socomm> larry_: paste that error into google
[17:46] <larry_> thanks
[17:46] <llutz> larry_: sudo apt-get install libgutenprint2
[17:47] <wildwind> rlsj99: by 'domain' I mean real Windows Domain (AD). It can be configured so no alien machine can access anything within domain. Is it home or office network?
[17:48] <TwinSwords> Does anyone have good reasons to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04 or 11.10?
[17:48] <IdleOne> 11.10 is no longer supported, so no.
[17:49] <IdleOne> err sorry 11.04 that is
[17:49] <socomm> TwinSwords: bug/security fixes
[17:49] <socomm> TwinSwords: performance enhancements
[17:49] <llutz> 10.04/11.10 will be EOL 4/13, so nothing to win
[17:49] <larry_> llutz,  it is installed, but in 12.04  somewhere that photoprint cant find it
[17:50] <wildwind> socomm: these online searches are easily disabled in privacy settings. I've done it it right after install :)
[17:50] <yeats> TwinSwords: you'd probably want to upgrade to 12.04, but note that you will have entered the realm of unity
[17:50] <llutz> larry_: ldd $(which photoprint)          pastebin that please
[17:50] <TwinSwords> OK but I'm not feeling any good coming from 12.04 right now
[17:50] <TwinSwords> I'm fine with Gnome.
[17:50] <yeats> TwinSwords: 12.04 is very stable and good (IMHO), but unity is a big shift
[17:50] <socomm> wildwind: I dropped ubuntu desktop at 12.x, thank you very much mr unity
[17:50] <larry_> the one in the ubuntu software centre, i cant tell you more because it wont run
[17:51] <yeats> TwinSwords: some move to Xubuntu if they prefer GNOME
[17:51] <llutz> larry_: "ldd $(which photoprint)"          pastebin that please, that is a command on terminal
[17:52] <socomm> TwinSwords: check out linux mint
[17:52] <wildwind> socomm: :) i'm still in process of trying to adapt to it.
[17:53] <TwinSwords> I don't know how to use these tags.
[17:53] <socomm> wildwind: linux mint+fluxbox im a happy camper for now
[17:53] <IdleOne> socomm, wildwind if you two want to chit chat please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic or in private. This channel is for support.
[17:53] <wildwind> IdleOne: OK
[17:53] <TwinSwords> socomm: Ya I hear some good things about Mint before but I have only worked with Ubuntu and CentOS
[17:53] <IdleOne> Thank you
[17:54] <socomm> TwinSwords: its pretty much ubuntu + non-free packages
[17:54] <IdleOne> it is also off topic for this channel.
[17:54] <socomm> IdleOne: are you mod?
[17:55] <IdleOne> socomm: if I wasn't would it make a difference?
[17:55] <larry_> llutz,  No command 'Ldd' found, did you mean:
[17:55] <larry_>  Command 'ldd' from package 'libc-bin' (main)
[17:55] <larry_>  Command 'dd' from package 'coreutils' (main)
[17:55] <socomm> IdleOne: asking
[17:55] <IdleOne> The channel guidelines apply either way.
[17:55] <yeats> larry_: 'ldd' needs to be all lowercase (like all commands)
[17:55] <llutz> larry_: "ldd $(which photoprint)"         without the quotes, case matters
[17:55] <socomm> larry_: case sensitive
[17:55] <TwinSwords> IdleOne: sorry about that I'm just having trouble with a sound card that doesn't like my Ubuntu.
[17:55] <t432> echo $JAVA_HOME is pointing to the wrong package, where do i edit this?

[18:00] <Rob1337> Hey, so, I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Gateway NV53a and when connected via wireless, my internet speeds are about 10% of what they should be or less. Speeds are normally 20mb/s in Win 7 or previous versions of Ubuntu, but 0.2-2mb/s and very unstable with 12.10. My wireless card is an Atheros  AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter.
[18:00] <Rob1337> How do I fix this?
[18:01] <larry_> is this ok?  http://pastebin.com/Uzmfz1N8
[18:01] <socomm> can anyone help me with this error? start: Unknown job: vboxautostart-service
[18:01] <Rob1337> Someone gave me a terminal command the other day that seemed to work temporarily, but things are back to the way they were now.
[18:01] <g0tcha> heya guys, is it possible for ubuntu server to have 2 gateways?
[18:01] <llutz> larry_: "uname -m"
[18:01] <socomm> larry_: how did you install this photoprint program
[18:02] <escott> g0tcha, not without bonding
[18:02] <larry_> downloaded it from ubuntu software manager
[18:02] <escott> g0tcha, at least as far as i know
[18:02] <bampersand> hey guys. I tried `fdupes -fr . | xargs mv -t ~/duplicates/
[18:02] <bampersand> ` but then it said "mv: cannot stat `Pack/04.Teach': No such file or directory
[18:02] <bampersand> " .. obviously i'm missing some quotes from the command but where?
[18:02] <larry_> socomm,  downloaded it from ubuntu software manager
[18:03] <llutz> larry_: "uname -m"
[18:03] <larry_> you might just as well be talking to me in chinese llutz ,,
[18:03] <llutz> larry_: a command, what is the output?
[18:03] <socomm> larry_: s/he is asking you to paste that into your terminal
[18:03] <socomm> larry_: and give him/her the output
[18:04] <wildwind> socomm: where is it?
[18:04] <larry_> thanks
[18:04] <socomm> wildwind: huh?
[18:04] <wildwind> error
[18:04] <socomm> wildwind: huh?
[18:04] <larry_> i686
[18:05] <wildwind> socomm: >>(23:01:19) socomm: can anyone help me with this error? start: Unknown job: vboxautostart-service
[18:05] <t432> escott: I dont see the $JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/profile
[18:05] <socomm> start vboxautostart-service - returns said error
[18:05] <t432> where is this defined?
[18:05] <Rob1337> Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu 12.10 to work correctly with  AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter?
[18:05] <larry_> llutz,  socomm   i686
[18:05] <wildwind> t432: .bashrc maybe?
[18:05] <llutz> larry_: command: "dpkg -L libgutenprint2|grep .so.2"
[18:06] <socomm> t432: /etc/environment?
[18:06] <t432> wildwind: thats where I have defined the desired version but when I do echo $JAVA_HOME, it points to a different version
[18:06] <escott> t432, did you try grep -r JAVA_HOME /etc
[18:07] <socomm> wildwind: start vboxautostart-service - returns said error
[18:07] <llutz> socomm: "start" is an upstart command, but your "vboxautostart-service" is a sysvinit job, not known by upstart
[18:07] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[18:07] <socomm> llutz: thats what I've gathered so far, how do I start this service at boot
[18:09] <larry_> llutz,  nothing seems to happen
[18:09] <larry_> just comes bck to command line
[18:09] <llutz> larry_: "sudo apt-get install libgutenprint2"
[18:10] <t432> escott: yep, no relevant files found
[18:10] <llutz> socomm: so why do you ask A if you want to know B?  if you set the sysmlink to the old /etc/rc?.d, there is an upstart-job running those. check if your links are correct
[18:10] <b1lly> hey so
[18:11] <b1lly> where do I install node?
[18:12] <larry_> llutz,  they are already installed, lates version
[18:12] <wildwind> socomm: VB version?
[18:12] <llutz> larry_: pstebin output of command: "dpkg -L libgutenprint2"
[18:13] <socomm> llutz: I've already checked those, and they are fine
[18:13] <puppy_parade> ubuntu server is failing to install. It errors out on dpkg
[18:13] <larry_> llutz,   trouble is photoprint is hard coded to look in usr/lib for thsi file and 12.04 puts it somewhere else
[18:13] <llutz> larry_: pstebin output of command: "dpkg -L libgutenprint2"
[18:13] <socomm> wildwind: 4.2.4, but I doubt it has to do anything with vbox
[18:13] <llutz> larry_: if so, you have to file a bug-report
[18:14] <socomm> puppy_parade: error?
[18:14] <puppy_parade> first about a bad key in the dpkg multiarch file "foreign-architecture". then about an unknown group, mlocate
[18:14] <escott> larry_, then symlink from the desired location to the actual location
[18:14] <larry_> it is a well known problem  i hoped someone had by now got a work around for it
[18:14] <socomm> puppy_parade: could you have bad copy/burn of the iso
[18:14] <puppy_parade> the md5 checks out, and this is multiple burns
[18:15] <llutz> larry_: "dpkg -L libgutenprint2" pastebin please
[18:15] <larry_> just google photoprint for ubuntu
[18:15] <llutz> i'm out
[18:15] <wildwind> socomm: check this out if everything described there is in place: http://lifeofageekadmin.com/how-to-set-your-virtualbox-vm-to-automatically-startup/
[18:16] <Guest9697> hi all
[18:16] <larry_> package pastebin not installed
[18:16] <socomm> wildwind: yeah
[18:16] <DOOMATES> hi Guest9697
[18:16] <larry_> llutz,  package pastebin not installed
[18:16] <Robertito> hi ppl
[18:17] <bekks> larry_: The package is named pastebinit
[18:17] <socomm> larry_: if you got the correct libraries installed, and I'm guessing you do
[18:17] <MaynardWaters> anyone with mdadm experience interested in helping me ?
[18:17] <bekks> MaynardWaters: Not without knowing your actual support problem. :)
[18:17] <socomm> larry_: I would look at just creating a symlink to the installed 'so' file to the file your program is expecting
[18:17] <socomm> larry_: this has worked for me 8 times out of 10
[18:18] <larry_> Package `pastebinit' is not installed.
[18:18] <larry_> Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files
[18:18] <socomm> larry_: thats probably what I would have tried before spending 20 minutes pasting random commands into the terminal
[18:18] <bekks> larry_: Then install it.
[18:18] <llutz> socomm: but he still refuses to give the dpkg output so that one can give him the correct "ln-command"...
[18:18] <socomm> llutz: his problem
[18:18] <Guest9697> i have recently purchased a motherboard(ga-p75-d3p ) which have uefi....i have installed ubuntu 12.10 on this successfully but it can not boot for some reason. I have two SATA HDD(500gb and 1 tb).    any help?)
[18:19] <larry_> i can't find the file on my syatem. i have it on a memory stick
[18:19] <bekks> larry_: Which file?
[18:19] <socomm> wildwind: thanks for the help, I'm just gonna find a work around for this problem, don't feel like spending more time on it to make it work within upstart
[18:19] <larry_> bekks,  the file is installed, but somewhere different to where photo print is hard coded to look for it
[18:19] <Guest9697> i have recently purchased a motherboard(ga-p75-d3p ) which have uefi....i have installed ubuntu 12.10 on this successfully but it can not boot for some reason. I have two SATA HDD(500gb and 1 tb).    any help?)
[18:20] <socomm> larry_: huh?
[18:20] <bekks> larry_: WHICH file...?
[18:20] <larry_> gutenprint
[18:20] <bekks> larry_: And why dont you install pastebinit?
[18:20] <wildwind> socomm: OK
[18:20] <bekks> larry_: "gutenprint" is a package, not a single file.
[18:20] <escott> Guest9697, efi is a pain. are you booting efi or bios?
[18:20] <Squarepy> Guest9697, I would try a live usb and then boot-repair in efi mode
[18:20] <Guest9697> i think efi....how to change that?
[18:21] <Squarepy> worked for me
 how to do that?
[18:21] <larry_> bekks the single file it wants is libgutenprint.so.2
[18:21] <larry_> which i have
[18:21] <Guest9697> escott:i think efi....how to change that?
[18:21] <bekks> larry_: Why dont you install pastebinit?
[18:22] <escott> Guest9697, usually in the bios
 how to do that?
[18:22] <escott> Guest9697, one common problem is to boot the hard drives bios, but the usb sticks efi
[18:22] <Squarepy> well install boot-repair within the live usb OS then let it reinstall grub on the right HD, EFI mode enabled
[18:22] <larry_> this is first time i heard of it. just wanted a simple system that could print
[18:22] <llutz> larry_: output of command "locate libgutenprint.so.2" is?
[18:22] <bekks> larry_: And you were asked to pastebin some output. Why dont you install pastebinit then, to do so?
[18:23] <Guest9697> usb booting is ok(i'm in that roight now) ....but after installing the system cant load
[18:23] <Guest9697> escott:usb booting is ok(i'm in that roight now) ....but after installing the system cant load
[18:23] <escott> Guest9697, i get that the usb boots, but it is a efi usb boot or a bios usb boot
[18:23] <larry_> because i am on dialup, and things are not so easy
[18:23] <escott> Guest9697, the efi system can emulate a bios boot and may do different things for different boot devices
[18:24] <Guest9697> escott:   how to check that?
[18:24] <bekks> larry_: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" IS easy, and it is a small package.
[18:24] <escott> Guest9697, which confuses the installer which doesn't realize that an installed system boots differently from the way the installer booted
[18:25] <larry_> i put it onpaste bin for you it is here as i said before http://pastebin.com/Uzmfz1N8
[18:25] <llutz> larry_: its not
[18:25] <llutz> larry_: output of command "locate libgutenprint.so.2" is?
[18:26] <Guest9697> escott: and i have twd hdd......is it cresating the problem?
[18:26] <llutz> larry_: please stop waisting our time, if you want help please do what you're told to do and give the information we need
[18:26] <escott> Guest9697, maybe. did you enable any intel raid?
[18:26] <Guest9697> escott: NOPE
[18:27] <larry_> llutz,  there is no output for that command
[18:27] <escott> larry_, run "updatedb" then try it again
[18:27] <llutz> larry_: sudo updatedb, then again please
[18:27] <larry_> but it taked a lot of time to work my way from screen to screen on this
[18:28] <larry_> response is updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'
[18:28] <escott> larry_, i left out the "sudo" needs to be "sudo updatedb"
[18:29] <larry_> ok
[18:29] <scott_w> yo, does anyone have any experience with the apple magic mouse + ubuntu?
[18:29] <scott_w> i'm assuming i'd need a bluetooth adapter for it
[18:30] <larry_> still does nothing from the locate command
[18:30] <llutz> larry_: maybe this works  "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.3 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2"  then try running photoprint again
[18:30] <wildwind> larry_: show apt-cache policy libgutenprint2
[18:31] <llutz> libgutenprint2 comes with /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.3  now, not .2
[18:31] <scott_w> basically, i'm thinking of getting my mum one, but i'd like to know if it works before splashing the cash
[18:31] <larry_> that wont help the filee libgutenprint is NOT in the usr/lib directory
[18:31] <wildwind> llutz: oh sorry
[18:31] <llutz> wildwind: i just realized that looking at ubuntus packagelist
[18:31] <larry_> which is why I asked on Monday how to copy a file into the lib directory
[18:32] <llutz> larry_: where did you get the file from?
[18:32] <larry_> my 10.1 system
[18:33] <wildwind> llutz: but wait on quantal photoprint depends on libgutenprint2
[18:33] <llutz> wildwind: seems to be a bug in photoprint
[18:33] <larry_> my belief was if i could copythe file into the usr/lib directory it might work
[18:34] <bekks> larry_: And currently you are on 12.04?
[18:34] <larry_> yes it is, photoprint is hard coded to look for the file in the one place
[18:34] <llutz> larry_: try it: sudo /media/whereveryourusbis/libgutenprint.so.2   /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/"
[18:34] <sudipta> escott:hi ......the usb is booting in uefi mode...just checked
[18:34] <llutz> larry_: its not, its looking for the WRONG file
[18:34] <larry_> i am building anew machine with winxp and ubuntu. i chose toinstall 12.04 and i think that was amistake
[18:35] <escott> sudipta, how about the hard drives?
[18:35] <bekks> XP was the mistake, thats not supported anymore ;)
[18:35] <sudipta> escott, did not checked
[18:35] <sudipta> escott:
[18:36] <llutz> photoprint depends on libgutenprint2 (>= 5.2.7) but wants libgutenprint.so.2  which is not part of that package
[18:36] <larry_> i can't find the libgutenprint.so.2/3 on the 12.04 machine, neither can locate
[18:37] <sudipta> escott: do u think booting from dvd will help?
[18:37] <llutz> larry_: try it: "sudo cp /media/whereveryourusbis/libgutenprint.so.2   /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/"
[18:38] <larry_> literally type in wherever yourusbis ???
[18:38] <llutz> larry_: you need to mount your usb with that file before and replace the /media/... path
[18:38] <wildwind> llutz, larry_: on my (almost) clean 12.10 photoprint installed and started OK, requiring only /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2
[18:38] <llutz> wildwind: dpkg -S  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2
[18:39] <wildwind> llutz: libgutenprint2: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2
[18:39] <sudipta> escott: do u think booting from dvd will help?
[18:39] <llutz> wildwind: odd, why isn't it in the file list of the package, is it just a symlink?
[18:39] <larry_> llutz,  this is going to take me a while to type
[18:39] <escott> sudipta, without knowing the actual cause its hard to say
[18:40] <wildwind> or when it tries to load lib, maybe when actually printing?
[18:40] <sudipta> escott, wait thene be back after a reboot
[18:40] <larry_> wildwind,  I know what it wants, I dont know how to give that
[18:41] <wildwind> larry_: when your photoprint fails, on start?
[18:41] <larry_> the worst thing is i cant have both screens up atthe same time so i can copy
[18:41] <larry_> it wont run, error is it cant find gutenprint
[18:42] <llutz> wildwind: ls -l /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2
[18:43] <wildwind> llutz:  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2 -> libgutenprint.so.2.1.0

[18:49] <myhero> i want to report  bug....how to do it ?

[18:54] <Rob1337> I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10, and when using wireless my internet is much slower and less stable than it should be. around 1mb/s rather than the 20mb/s i normally get. My wireless card is a Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter. How do I fix this?
[18:55] <larry_> thanks, i have found the file

[18:55] <danley> Rob1337, did you check your signal levels? sometimes 5GHz make problems for me because the signal goes a lot worse through walls and stuff.
[18:55] <myhero> jrib: and when 12.10 installed on system.....wifi is still not working with broadcom wifi card
[18:56] <larry_> this will take me some time to type.. but now you have found the file hopefully it eill work soon as i rename it
[18:56] <Rob1337> How do I check signal levels?
[18:56] <babak> MPPE required but not available" thats my problem i can't connect to pptp server with encryption and mschap2
[18:56] <myhero> jrib: there was probelms with broadcom cards before also....
[18:56] <llutz> larry_: you don't rename it, create a symlink!
[18:56] <babak> I use ubuntu 12.04 lts and it is updatet!
[18:56] <danley> Rob1337, the easiest way I'm aware is to type "iwconfig" in the command lien
[18:57] <wildwind> larry_: reason to upgrade, if we forget about your dialup for a second :)
