[17:57] <user82> hi. i have the problem that with hdmi i get no real black color on my screen (might be the typical 16-235 black value issue?). can i change that somehow?
[18:00] <Third3ye> Soelen, try uploading the syslog (/var/log/syslog.X) to pastebin -- the X stands for the number of times since you booted since then, starting from 0. Say you've booted three times, it's syslog.2
[18:00] <Soelen> alright
[18:01] <llutz> Third3ye: the X stands for the number the logfile has been rotated by logrotate, which isn't necessarily every reboot
[18:02] <Third3ye> My bad -- I just assumed ^
[18:02] <Third3ye> pinkpelican, just use dd to write the iso. Like this -> sudo dd if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdX
[18:02] <Soelen> so what exactly do I need to pastebin, sylog or syslog.1?
[18:02] <Soelen> Third3ye:
[18:05] <Third3ye> Soelen, after reading a bit it depends... was the computer on for a _really_ long time? Apparently it rotates based on file size and when it's run... can anyone shed some light to this? I'm fairly new to logrotate
[18:06] <Third3ye> Soelen, you can do this cat syslog.0 |grep "ubuntu swapper not tainted" -- or exactly what the error was
[18:07] <xibalba> is there a way to re-nice a bunch of processes en-mass? i have 5 sshd proccesses id like to renice to 20
[18:07] <Soelen> Third3ye: not in syslog nor syslog.1 is tainted appearing
[18:08] <Third3ye> Soelen, how about dmesg?
[18:08] <Third3ye> though I think dmesg is omitted to the syslog..
[18:08] <Third3ye> Soelen, or kern.log
[18:09] <pinkpelican> Third3ye I'm running from Windows 7 right now. I want to make a live usb of ubuntu (as small as possible) and then use the usb to overwrite a hard disk on another computer. I know what command overwrites, but not which comman lists and and which choses partitions or disks to overwrite.
[18:09] <pinkpelican> Wait, just lists.
[18:09] <jrib>   xibalba did you check the man page for renice?
[18:09] <pinkpelican> You chose in the overwrite command.
[18:09] <DX099> hello, how much time generally put nex firefox versio to get into official repos ?
[18:09] <DX099> *new
[18:09] <DX099> *versions
[18:10] <pinkpelican> repos?
[18:10] <DX099> repositories
[18:10] <Third3ye> pinkpelican, you're doing this from a windows 7 installation?
[18:10] <UmBsublime> is it possible that the ubuntu site has a broken link because when you try to download ubuntu 12.10 64-bit you actualy download the 12.04 64 bit .iso file
[18:11] <pinkpelican> I'm building the usb from a windows installation.
[18:11] <Soelen> Third3ye: not in dmesg, dmesg.1, kern.log nor kern.log.
[18:11] <Soelen> 1
[18:11] <pinkpelican> I'm using Ubuntu (smallest possible version) to overwrite a disk.
[18:12] <pinkpelican> I have LiLi USB Creator.
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  better ask in ##windows, i guess
[18:13] <BluesKaj> UmBsublime, http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/
[18:13] <Soelen> Third3ye: also not in boot, boot.log, damn, boot.long sounded very promising
[18:13] <pinkpelican> I created a live usb of Ubuntu JeOS, but it's not letting me run JeOS without installing, and it's treating the install as from CD instead of USB.
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  and JeOS is not supported here
[18:14] <pinkpelican> Ie I can't install JeOS from live usb.
[18:14] <UmBsublime> BlueKaj, thank you
[18:14] <pinkpelican> Which Ubuntu version is the smallest that allows for running live without installing, from either CD or USB?
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> !mini | pinkpelican
[18:15] <WXZ> I've got two monitors setup and there's 4 workspaces on one, and 6 spaces on the other. Which is amazing, but I have no way to move windows between workspaces.
[18:15] <llutz> mini.iso is NOT a lice-cd
[18:15] <llutz> live*
[18:15] <Third3ye> pinkpelican, try http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ as well
[18:16] <DX099> pinkpelican, boot some linux live and then, try "dd if=my_iso out=/dev/sdx[and NO NUMBER HERE]"
[18:16] <UmBsublime>  BlueKaj, there is no intel 64-bit release for 12.10?
[18:16] <Third3ye> Soelen, try booting the bad kernel again and see if it comes up with any other errors... something marked "critical", "fatal", etc...
[18:17] <pinkpelican> Thank you.
[18:18] <WXZ> how do you move windows across desktops in a multi-desktop setup?
[18:18] <UmBsublime> drag to edge of screen
[18:19] <Third3ye> UmBsublime, I used the amd64 on my Core2 64bit -- and the kernel is running x86_64 :)
[18:19] <WXZ> UmBsublime: doesn't work
[18:19] <WXZ> UmBsublime: it's not a spanning desktop, it's a multi-desktop
[18:19] <tompa_> For some reason i must have changed some settings yesterday since i get errors from MyUnity when I'm trying to install Ubuntu tweaks, skype, everpad...
[18:19] <tompa_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1509771/
[18:20] <tompa_> What should i do to fix that?
[18:20] <UmBsublime> i know it works for me though
[18:20] <UmBsublime> ty thirdeye do you think i will get same results with i7 2600k?
[18:21] <acovrig> after the install, I would like to switch mail from local only to internet host, how do I do that?
[18:21] <MonkeyDust> tompa_  ppa's are not supported and i guess myUnity is no longer maintained or developped
[18:21] <WXZ> UmBsublime: really? You have like two different desktops?
[18:22] <UmBsublime> WXY, i have 4 actualy
[18:22] <Third3ye> UmBsublime, I should think so -- if I'm not mistaken the livecd runs a similar version to the kernel, at least the architecture, that you will be installing
[18:22] <tompa_> monkeydust but i was trying to install myunity yesterday and are still getting errors from it even if it doesnt have anything to do with skype for example... :S
[18:22] <Third3ye> So if it doesn't boot you'll at least know :)
[18:22] <UmBsublime> thanks
[18:22] <acovrig> that was odd
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> tompa_  skype? it says myUnity in the pastebin
[18:23] <tompa_> monkeydust yea exactly :/ 2 secounds i give u full pastebin
[18:23] <UmBsublime> has any1 got ubuntuOne to work under windows 7 64-bit??
[18:24] <nOStahl> hey guys, my ethernet and wifi are eth2 and eth3   what happened during this fresh install that would cause that?
[18:24] <nOStahl> it also is not letting wifi connect, just times out and asks for password again but the password is correct.
[18:24] <nOStahl> dmesg talks about it not finding the password
[18:24] <nOStahl> thinkpad r51 laptop is what I'm setting up on
[18:24] <tangobravo> nOStahl, i am not sure what the issue is... they are suppose to be eth 2 and 3
[18:24] <nibbler> hi. if i run bcache with dm-crypt, which layer should be lower?
[18:25] <tangobravo> was it labeled something different before?
[18:25] <nOStahl> should be eth0 and wlan0
[18:25] <tangobravo> oh yea u are right
[18:25] <tangobravo> my fault
[18:25] <nOStahl> on every other install i've done
[18:25] <tangobravo> i have a server with multiple nics
[18:25] <tangobravo> you can change it in the udev rules file
[18:26] <nOStahl> is there a way I can uninstall the adapter and reinstall it
[18:26] <tompa_> monkeydust http://paste.ubuntu.com/1510180/
[18:26] <tangobravo>  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is where you would change it...
[18:26] <tangobravo> in terms of uninstalling and reinstalling i dont think that'd make a difference
[18:27] <tangobravo> is this a new install nOStahl ?
[18:27] <nOStahl> ya
[18:27] <tompa_> monkeydust in row 1 and 16 you can see im trying to install everpad and get errors from myunity...
[18:27] <tangobravo> look in the udev rules do u see wlan0 in there anywhere?
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> tompa_  i can just repeat what i just said: with ppas, you're on your own, use it at your own risk - and myUnity is no longer maintained, ie, no longer exists
[18:27] <nOStahl> the laptop had a bios password so I couldn't select boot device, so I installed ubuntu on another thinkpad r51 and then swapped the hd back into it
[18:27] <tangobravo> oh
[18:27] <tangobravo> well that could be an issue
[18:28] <tangobravo> what kind of laptop is it?
[18:28] <tangobravo> the one with a bios password
[18:28] <nOStahl> thinkpad r51
[18:28] <tompa_> monkeydust uhm i barley know what ppa is so if i have by misstake changed something how do i get back to default?
[18:28] <DX099> nOStahl, since you could change the HDD ? couldn't you go as far as resetting BIOS ?
[18:28] <nOStahl> I don't feel like making the serial adapter and soldering to the mono to reset it hehe
[18:28] <nOStahl> mobo
[18:28] <tangobravo> DX099 no... the bios password isnt related to the hard drive
[18:29] <MonkeyDust> tompa_  better contact the maintainer(s) of the ppas, they should know what to do
[18:29] <tangobravo> it's part of the mobo
[18:29] <nOStahl> k in that udev rules.d I see 4 adapters
[18:29] <nOStahl> the first two were prob from the original machine installation
[18:29] <tangobravo> which are?
[18:29] <tompa_> monkey hmm :/ okey thank you for answering!
[18:29] <nOStahl> eth0 is the ethernet and eth1 uses the ipw2200 driver.
[18:29] <tangobravo> do u know if the MAC addresses for the one in your current machine are?
[18:30] <DX099> tangobravo, no but as he/she got physic access so machine and could go as far as swapping HDDs, why no got the easiest way (IMO) and hard-reset the BIOS ?
[18:30] <nOStahl> if I delete this udev rules file will it recreate it upon bootup
[18:30] <tangobravo> i dunno
[18:31] <nOStahl> I think it does
[18:31] <tangobravo> DX099 resetting a bios password is not easy
[18:31] <tangobravo> at least not on a laptop
[18:31] <nOStahl> for these think pads you have to order a chip if I remember right
[18:31] <nOStahl> and do some soldering
[18:31] <tangobravo> if you dont know the original you gotta solder an rs232 connector and connect a chip to a couple pin outs on the board
[18:32] <DX099> isn't it just some battery to remove somewhere ?
[18:32] <tangobravo> it's an ATMEL EEPROM chip
[18:32] <tangobravo> no DX099
[18:32] <DX099> ok
[18:32] <tangobravo> those days have been long gone
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Tangobravo: replace the bios battery with mains power disconnected will do it if you leave it out a good while
[18:32] <tangobravo> there is an actual ROM on the board small amount of storage (kinda like a flash memory if you will) that is encrypted that stores that info
[18:33] <tangobravo> not sure ActionParsnip if that'd do it on the thinkpads
[18:33] <nOStahl> there is a chip on these mobo's that holds the data
[18:33] <nOStahl> its not able to be done with any power tricks :)
[18:33] <tangobravo> yea even my dell laptop cant be done that way
[18:34] <tangobravo> someone invented some tool i heard but i never used it
[18:34] <DX099> ActionParsnip, isn't there also some : remove the battery, plug out the laptop, push the power button for X seconds" another trick to reset BIOS settings ?
[18:34] <tangobravo> it's software based
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Tangobravo: worth a shot.  Quick and dirty
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Dx099: I'd try it
[18:35] <tangobravo> ActionParsnip, i remember a power on and off trick would work with a boot password
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Dx099 : leave it out a good half hour
[18:35] <tangobravo> i dunno if it'll work tho for the supervisor password (which is what you need to do for the boot order)
[18:35] <tangobravo> the supervisor password is different than a boot password
[18:36] <tangobravo> this is how'd you do it for the boot password though    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HRjUK1IB84
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Not 100% here either.  Worth a punt
[18:36] <tangobravo> his best bet would be to find the backdoor password for his system
[18:37] <nOStahl> k removed that udev rule and rebooted
[18:37] <tangobravo> not all machines have one tho
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Could research it while the power drains
[18:37] <tangobravo> nOStahl, did you back it up?
[18:37] <nOStahl> and it re-created it properly with the right names and such for this device
[18:37] <nOStahl> yes
[18:37] <tangobravo> good lol
[18:37] <tangobravo> oh that's good
[18:37] <nOStahl> didn't need too though, i've deleted that file on a virtual machine before to fix an issue it had
[18:37] <nOStahl> heh
[18:37] <tangobravo> didnt know if it'd recreate it or not
[18:38] <nOStahl> when switching to a new host box
[18:38] <nOStahl> still no affect anyways, won't connect
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Here's a question,  why is there answers.launchpad.net as well as ask.ubuntu.com ? Canonical runs launchpad, but ask.ubuntu.com is mentioned during installation. Why is there 2?
[18:42] <Pici> ActionParsnip: They might both seek to solve user questions, but they are not the same thing and also keep in mind that launchpad is used for far more than just Ubuntu.
[18:42] <DX099> as for BIOS thingy, I once came across those: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1510218/ Never used it though...
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Pici: true. Just makes more sense in my eyes to have a centralized support forum
[18:45] <monk12> K, so after installing linux (trying to get UEFI working with linux), I got a black screen ... i partitioned (5 partitions): 'efi boot' (<256MB and has boot flag), /boot, /, /home, linux swap ... On the Ubuntu partition screen, i picked /boot partition for "Device for Bootloader Installation:" ... did i goof anywhere? the DVD has 64bit Ubuntu 12.10 on it and my BIOS is set to boot [Both, UEFI FIRST]
[18:45] <monk12> i never explicitly set the disk to be GPT in GParted. maybe that it, but not sure how to set Partitioning Table to GPT as never saw the option
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Monk12: which video chip do you use?
[18:46] <pinkpelican> Silly question, how do I find the terminal in Ubuntu 12.04?
[18:46] <monk12> video card in my laptop is Nvideo Optimus.
[18:46] <monk12> standard 12.10 install worked on it on another mSATA i installed Ubuntu 12.10 on last week
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Pinkpelican: I use ctrl + alt + t
[18:47] <pinkpelican> Thank you.
[18:47] <kunji> pinkpelican: click the ubuntu logo and start typing terminal, the launcher should turn up, also I think ctrl+alt+t is a default shortcut
[18:47] <magik_> pinkpelican, you can use what ActionParsnip said or if you want a shell terminal type ctrl + alt + f1 then when you want to go back to gui type ctrl + alt + f7
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Monk12: optimus will cause issues.  Try the boot option: nomodeset
[18:48] <cgalati> I need some help with server recommendations if someone has some time to talk
[18:48] <nOStahl> cgalati: shoot
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> cgalati  there's also #ubutu-server
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> cgalati  there's also #ubuntu-server
[18:49] <cgalati> Ok, i will switch thx!
[18:49] <pinkpelican> What command lists partitions/usb with fdisk?
[18:50] <DX099> pinkpelican, `sudo fdisk -l`
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  type sudo fdisk /dev/blah and then m
[18:51] <monk12> ActionParsnip: k thanks so much i see that as a bug. maybe i did install it correctly :)
[18:51] <monk12> buy since instlaled off DVD with no updates (since wireless was down), i got crappy old drivers.
[18:51] <monk12> but*
[18:51] <pinkpelican> Does sudo fdisk -l show the whole drive, ie hda1 instead of sda1?
[18:52] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  type it and see
[18:53] <pinkpelican> Is there a way to list the choices for hard disks?
[18:55] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  what choices do you mean?
[18:56] <pinkpelican> My only partition is called sda1 instead of just sda, so if I want to shred -vfz -n 10 /dev/hda/ how do I confirm hda is the location of my disk?
[18:56] <Third3ye> How do i set the main display?
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  hda is the disk, hda1 is the partition
[18:57] <drifter_> voll süß meine katze apportiert wieder kleine bällchen
[18:57] <ms30> boa noite
[18:57] <drifter_> jeden tag  :)
[18:57] <pinkpelican> Thank you
[18:57] <Pici> !de | drifter_
[18:57] <monk12> ActionParsnip: darn, dont think thats it... dont even get to Ubuntu boot menu so i can set that nomodeset option.
[18:58] <monk12> if i put the BIOS in 'UEFI Only' it keeps asking me to pick what drive to boot from... maybe i didnt' setup the drive correctly...
[18:58] <mostrom> what is better: default driver for ATI gpu, or dedicated?
[18:58] <DX099> hey, how much time generally put new firefox version to get into official repositories  ?
[18:58] <monk12> i created a 150MB 'EFI Boot' partition at beg of drive... but how do i know the drive is GPT which i guess it needs?
[18:59] <monk12> I didn't see any option in Ubuntu's partitioning area or GParted to set the drive with the GPT Partitioning Scheme
[19:01] <pinkpelican> Is there a way to see progress of dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda?
[19:01] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  watch " dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"
[19:01] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  watch "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"
[19:02] <Pici> MonkeyDust: er, I don't think that will work
[19:02] <pinkpelican> Thank you.
[19:02] <DX099> pinkpelican, you could have added "bs=512", but your command also do the job.
[19:03] <Pici> pinkpelican: you'd need to send it a USR1 signal to have it print out its progress. use kill -USR1 with the pid of your dd process.
[19:03] <pinkpelican> I thought bs=512 set the size of the overwrite
[19:03] <pinkpelican> I don't know what a pid is.
[19:03] <Pici> pinkpelican: using `watch` will just run the command again every 2 seconds.
[19:03] <pinkpelican> Oh
[19:04] <Pici> pinkpelican: either look it up via `ps aux | grep dd` or see `pidof dd`
[19:04] <pinkpelican> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda kill -USR1
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> Pici  pinkpelican I use watch to see copy progress, wasn't aware of the USR1 thingy
[19:04] <pinkpelican> Is that how I'd type it out?
[19:06] <MonkeyDust> pinkpelican  why not simpy use fdisk to deelete the partition?
[19:06] <demonio> I'm installing ubunt but i had a problem with some keys
[19:06] <joe_Vitel> Hello. I'm looking for a way to duplicate data from one folder to another (the other will be a nfs mount). Basically, I'd like to use folder A, have it duplicated and replicated in the background via use of mountpoint/folder B. Any ideas?
[19:06] <pinkpelican> MonkeyDust because I'm paranoid.
[19:06] <Pici> pinkpelican: the manpage for dd explains exactly how to do it.
[19:07] <pinkpelican> Pici could I get a link to the mainpage?
[19:07] <demonio> Hey
[19:08] <DX099> pinkpelican, `man dd` and more generally for most of programs on linux `man my_awesome_program`
[19:08] <Pici> pinkpelican: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/dd.1.html   The relevant section starts with "Sending a USR1 signal to a running"
[19:08] <demonio> Can anyone help me?
[19:08] <pinkpelican> Oh manpage.
[19:08] <pinkpelican> Demonio, what's your problem?

[19:09] <Bartson> hi all, how can i display --help in two parts
[19:09] <Bartson> ls
[19:09] <KI4RO> Anyone know how to turn on the voice over feature in an IPOD thru UBUNTU?
[19:09] <DX099> demonio, what's your keyboard ?
[19:09] <Bartson> user us logitech
[19:09] <Bartson> ust us logitech
[19:09] <Gehaktbal_> hi...anyone knows why i get the following warning when issuing "svn update" on kubuntu?
[19:09] <Gehaktbal_> WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/joost/.cache/keyring-fHK92b/pkcs11: Bestand of map bestaat niet
[19:09] <violinist> hiho, anyone know how to get amd radeon drivers, similar way like nvidia? i go to their website, or apt-get?
[19:10] <Pici> Bartson: pipe it through less
[19:10] <called> ...
[19:10] <DX099> Bartson, which keys won't work ?
[19:10] <Bartson> roger :D
[19:10] <Bartson> every key is working
[19:10] <demonio> Is a logitech DX099
[19:10] <Bartson> but when i type in terminal groups --help it scrolls to the end
[19:10] <DX099> yes
[19:10] <Bartson> is it possible to break it into parts?
[19:11] <demonio> NO
[19:11] <Bartson> so that i can see the whole help file
[19:11] <DX099> Bartson, it is intended to do so. You want to `groups --help | less`
[19:12] <DX099> pipe the output of the command to the less program
[19:12] <Pici> Bartson: Or use the manpage, as it typically has more in-depth information
[19:13] <Pici> !man
[19:13] <Bartson> ok, because i`m really new i`m using the --help a lot :D
[19:13] <DX099> also, Shitf+PgUP/PgDown allows you to scroll into a terminal with no mouse, though what you'll be able to recover depends on the terminal's buffer size.

[19:27] <gsant> hi everyone
[19:27] <gsant> Has anyone installed Ubuntu on pcs with Win 8 preloaded secure boot UEFI ?
[19:27] <pinkpelican> Another silly question, how do I gain root without gksudo?
[19:29] <gsant> pinkpelican: sudo
[19:30] <pinkpelican> Right, I can use sudo to do a command but after that job is complete I ....
[19:30] <pinkpelican> Nevermind that will do.
[19:30] <magik_> pinkpelican, you can su also
[19:30] <Pici> pinkpelican: you can use sudo -i to get an interactive sudo session.

[19:36] <hattorihanzo> Hey, I have a fresh 12.04.1 fully updated server
[19:36] <demonio> I had a problem... my ubuntu 12.10 block itself when i typing home
[19:36] <hattorihanzo> and for some reason i dont see anything in my /var/log/syslog | messages
[19:37] <hattorihanzo> anybody have an idea of whats going on
[19:37] <mick870621345> a little bit
[19:37] <mick870621345> Just looking for some Help with Gobi 1000
[19:39] <xutwooh> anyone know of a chat channel where people are activally chatting?
[19:40] <jrib> xutwooh: #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus?
[19:40] <xutwooh> jrib: nobodys in defocus just as a headsup =] but thanks
[19:40] <jamescarr> hey, any idea why running this: sudo -u elasticsearch -s "ulimit -Sn" would give me " /bin/bash: ulimit -Sn: command not found
[19:40] <jamescarr> when ulimit alone works

[19:42] <kslater> hey all
[19:42] <pinkpelican> Hello
[19:42] <xutwooh> hi
[19:42] <kslater> I'm going to ask this question again today, because I *know* someone knows the answer
[19:43] <kslater> Where / how is mounting of usb external devices controlled?
[19:43] <jrib> 42
[19:43] <pinkpelican> Which OS is best?!
[19:43] <kslater> Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[19:43] <jamescarr> pinkpelican:  GNU Hurd
[19:43] <kslater> Plan 9
[19:43] <xangua> !ot | pinkpelican jamescarr
[19:44] <jrib> kslater: why do you ask?
[19:44] <toxboi> kslater: afaik, it's upstart
[19:44] <xutwooh> pinkpelican: depends your linux level, ubuntu is for easier transition from windows OS to linux
[19:45] <xutwooh> if your smart or know alot of computers, arch linux gentoo are for high levelers
[19:45] <pinkpelican> My comp sci lv is zilch.
[19:45] <kslater> because I have an internal drive with 2 partitions that show up as USB devices. I need them to be put back in the right place on boot.
[19:45] <jrib> kslater: what does it mean to "show up as USB devices"?
[19:45] <kslater> Actually, scratch that. They aren't / don't show up as USB devices
[19:45] <jrib> and what is "the right place on boot"?
[19:45] <kslater> that's my backup drive
[19:46] <kslater> the right place is one of them mounts at /media/extra and the other at /media/extra/source
[19:46] <toxboi> kslater: you need to make a fstab entry
[19:46] <kslater> but they are internal partitions of my main drive. fstab is the right place.
[19:46] <jrib> kslater: if you want them to mount automatically at boot, you should create an fstab entry as toxboi points out (see ubottu)
[19:46] <kslater> but what about the 2T external drive?
[19:46] <jrib> !fstab | kslater
[19:47] <jrib> kslater: what about the 2T external drive?
[19:47] <kslater> so that needs to be mounted where it's expected as well
[19:47] <gsant> hi everyone
[19:47] <kslater> /media/seagate2t and not /media/usbN
[19:48] <gsant> has anyone installed Ubuntu on those preinstalled Win 8 with UEFI and boot secure ?
[19:48] <kslater> but it's not always present as this machine in question is a laptop with a docking station. Which is where the 2T drive is connected.
[19:48] <jaybutts> LAN works on my wifi adapter, I am using dhcp and internet works on other devices using those settings however internet doesn't work over my wifi adapter only lan while internet works fine over eth0 wired connection, anyone have an idea?
[19:48] <jrib> kslater: ok, you can use fstab for that too if you want it to be automatically mounted when you boot.  But you should add a parameter for boot to not fail if it fails to mount (because it isn't plugged in for example).  Alternatively, just give it the label "seagate2t" and it will get mounted to /media/seagate2t by nautilus when you click on it in nautilus
[19:49] <gsant> i just bought a sony vaio that cames with Win 8 preloaded ..and the Bios was replaced by UEFI;
[19:49] <xutwooh> kslater: if your putting a linux operating system on a usb flashdrive look up the program UNETBOOTIN that should help if thats what your asking
[19:49] <atlef> !uefi | gsant
[19:50] <kslater> not a USB flashdrive. 2T USB flashdrive? That would be interesting I guess.
[19:50] <toxboi> kslater: in your case, a UUID would be a nice option. Using device name /dev/sdxx is not a good idea as it may change in presence of a extra device. Eg. a USD disk.
[19:50] <kslater> this is just external space
[19:50] <kslater> toxboi: I was justs noticing that from fstab
[19:51] <jrib> uuid should be used anyway, /dev/sdX isn't guaranteed to stay the same
[19:51] <toxboi> ^ second that
[19:51] <gsant> ok thank you i will try taht
[19:52] <kslater> where are drives labeled?
[19:52] <jrib> !label | kslater
[19:52] <jaybutts> anyone know why my wifi interface works fine on lan but not internet and I am using identical dhcp settings as other devices, wired connection to same router works fine on this machine
[19:52] <kslater> if it's in the properties page, it's not obvious
[19:52] <kslater> gparted, of course
[19:53] <kslater> !udid | kslater

[19:54] <melkor> I have a strange issue where sometimes my sounds stop working. When I go to sound settings there are new options compared to when the sounds worked.
[19:54] <melkor> Is there anyway I can restart my sounds?
[19:54] <atlef> !sound | melkor
[19:54] <kslater> cool
[19:56] <melkor> Wow ubottu your link sucks. the very first link, replacing ALSA with OSS, it says it isn't supported? What is the point of that link?
[19:57] <gusteru> anyone can help me to install byacc ?
[19:58] <gusteru> anyone can help me to install byacc ??
[19:58] <melkor> This channel used to be much better about support. I wonder if it is due to the size of the project?
[19:58] <melkor> gusteru: if there isn't a package for byacc then you probably won't find support here.
[19:59] <melkor> gusteru: do they have their own page/wiki/channel ?
[19:59] <wodim> hi, how do i switch to unity 2d using ubuntu 12.10

[19:59] <CerealGuy> hey i want to upgrade my php5 to a newer version as in the repos, how is this possible?
[20:00] <melkor> CerealGuy: does php have a ppa?
[20:00] <CerealGuy> hmm i dont really know, just found something with nginx, but the php5.3 repo is empty :/
[20:00] <melkor> CerealGuy: I have no clue what that means.
[20:01] <carif> I just read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SbuildLVMHowto to learn how to sbuild, but I still have a very basic question. What does the logical volume management provide? A fast way to make an initial copy of the chroot before a build?
[20:01] <jaybutts> better to compile your php from source for a server
[20:03] <tompa_> How do i change my Quantal repo to Precises?
[20:03] <melkor> tompa_: you want to update from precise repo's instead of Quantal?
[20:04] <jromero> Hello everyone. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop and I'm having trouble setting up my second monitor. It is currently mirrored, but when I uncheck the box and appy changes, I get an error message saying that I have to switch my settings to 2D at startup. How can I change those settings? (Intel P4 HT, 3GB RAM)
[20:04] <Violentmouse[awa> isnt php 5.3 empty because they are on 5.4.0 now ?
[20:04] <tompa_> melkor yeah quantal seems to not support anything :S not skype or ubuntu tweak or everpad
[20:04] <melkor> tompa_: I don't think precise supports those either.
[20:05] <melkor> tompa_: I think I had to add a repo to use ubuntu tweak, but that was awhile ago and I could be mistaken.
[20:06] <Padeen> Hello

[20:07] <kslater> melkor: I just added tweak the other night, you're correct, it's from a ppa, at least for precise it is.
[20:07] <Padeen> I use a Acer Aspire 5750G, nomodeset checked and vga=771 added to the bootcommand
[20:08] <Padeen> Basically the last lines I see are Stopping system V something

[20:08] <kslater> dkodi: do you know what wireless driver you need for the Dell 5520?
[20:08] <Padeen> and than it halts just like that
[20:08] <kslater> and if it's supported in Linux?
[20:08] <melkor> tompa_: That is strange, how did you get the myunity ppa in there?
[20:09] <pinkpelican> How can I view the progress of shred -vfz -n 10 /dev/hda

[20:13] <melkor> tompa_: actually the errors you showed wouldn't nescessarily cause the program to not install. apt will skip repos that don't work.

[20:14] <melkor> tompa_: what happens if you just run apt-get install everpad
[20:14] <melkor> tompa_: with sudo of course.
[20:16] <kunji> I'm having some trouble with my wireless, I got a new router, so I was worried it was that, but I can't seem to make it fail at all using windows on the same hardware.  With linux when I put heavy load on the wireless with 2 different wireless adapters (one a rosewill pcie, and one some builtin realtek) the connection mostly stops working, but it remains connected and the download finishes (e.g. a 1080p youtube video), but I cannot ping the
[20:16] <rustler770> apache 400 Forbidden You do not have permissin to access / on this server, any answers?
[20:17] <magik_> Padeen, have you tried installing from a USB?
[20:17] <kunji> Disconnecting and connecting again to the router makes it work again.. until it fails again, also I can't find any evidence of the failure, i.e. logs or the like to indicate a problem.
[20:17] <melkor> rustler770: looks like it is working great.
[20:18] <kunji> rustler770:  Hmm, well, do you have those permissions?  Also does the user apache is running under have those permissions?
[20:18] <michar11> ?
[20:18] <rustler770> melkor used sudo to run
[20:18] <tompa_> melkor hmm strange seems to work now... thought i had connect to some special program storage to install it. Only problem is ubuntu tweak which it didnt find
[20:19] <tompa_> melkor at least if it should be named "ubuntu-tweak"
[20:19] <michar11> #exit
[20:19] <rustler770> should have root permissions
[20:21] <rustler770> "Allow from all"
[20:21] <xutwooh> anyone have any alias commands that they use alot or find useful that you can share?
[20:23] <kunji> rustler770:  Isn't that where you're allowing connections from?  But isn't the issue here maybe that apache doesn't have permissions, and apache should not be running as root (I think at least), it should have it's own user.  I would explain more but I need to get to class right now, hopefully someone else can help out.  Also if anyone has any ideas about that wireless question I had, I'm just going to leave this running so I'll see any rep
[20:24] <melkor> tompa_: So you added the ubuntu-tweak ppa?
[20:28] <tompa_> yea i still get errors when im updating what ever ppa im using (like i said, barley know what it means) but managed to install ubuntu tweak now

[20:29] <bekks> kps: Pastebin the complete output you get please.
[20:29] <glitch__> looks like my question is going to be easy
[20:29] <melkor> tompa_: unless that is the repo for ubuntu-tweak.
[20:30] <glitch__> trying to write a script to move files in to self named folders
[20:30] <kps> bekks: here it is http://pastebin.ca/2300508
[20:31] <bekks> kps: The error occurs in line 12 already.
[20:32] <melkor> tompa_: there is a correct way to add and remove ppa's, I don't know it. But you could edit your sources.list
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> tompa_: use the add-apt-repository command, or software centre
[20:33] <kps> bekks: yes i am not able to install slapd complete...... actually i ran dpkg-reconfigure slapd but ctrl+c in btw then removed the package after that this problem occured
[20:33] <jaybutts> for i in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; do sed -i '/ppa/d' $i ; done
[20:33] <glitch__> may i but in
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> glitch__: why not :)
[20:34] <glitch__> easyst way is to  remake your sources list and  re add each  extra repo
[20:34] <TheOnlyJoey> Ohai, anyone experience with Crossfire on Ubuntu 12.10? i can enable crossfire in the gui, but after reboot (it asks me to reboot) it get's disabled again. using 2 identical Ati Radeon HD 5770 cards
[20:34] <glitch__> give me 4 min  and ill the the base  source list
[20:35] <TheOnlyJoey> it works on "the operating system that shall not be called"
[20:35] <melkor> ActionParsnip: it almost seems like the ubuntu-tweak ppa repo is down.
[20:35] <kps> some suggested in posts for removing or clearing /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.* nothing helps
[20:35] <melkor> TheOnlyJoey: which driver are you using?
[20:35] <KI4RO> Anyone know how to turn on the voice over feature in an IPOD thru UBUNTU?
[20:36] <TheOnlyJoey> melkor: i tried the FGLRX, from the repository, the FGLRX-Update and the latest from edgers, all same result
[20:36] <melkor> TheOnlyJoey: if you check ##ati they could point you to the features list and you can see if crossfire is supported on their driver.
[20:37] <glitch__> quick question are you on quantal
[20:37] <TheOnlyJoey> melkor: ah check, thanks, will bother them their then :)
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> melkor: then comment it out, or remove it. Are you sure it supports your release?
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> glitch__: ;)
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> melkor: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:38] <blackline> Let's say you uninstalled something that you obviously shouldn't  using apt-get remove that deleted several dependencies that where not meant to erase. Is there any convenient way of reinstalling those without having to install them one on one? I'm still in terminal, have the list showing all that's been erased.
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> blackline: you may have the debs in your apt cache but they will need reinstalling again
[20:39] <melkor> ActionParsnip: I was asking for tompa_ who seems to have vanished.
[20:40] <blackline> ActionParsnip, Ok, of course. No problem to reinstall but how would be the proper way to use them from the cache?
[20:40] <blackline> ActionParsnip, I havnt ran any commands in terminal after the mistake, so I'm just where I messed up.
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> blackline: just run the install command, if the version in the repos is the same as in the cache, then the cache will be used and not redownloaded
[20:41] <glitch__> orignal sources file for quintal http://pastebin.com/xuCX0Rst
[20:42] <kp> nobody replied :(
[20:42] <blackline> ActionParsnip, but can I find a list of all that was erased last time easly for reinstall. It was A LOT that went away.
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> blackline: you can read /var/log/dpkg.log   to see what was removed. Scroll to the bottom and read up
[20:42] <blackline> ActionParsnip, it was something like that I was looking for. Thanks alot!
[20:45] <RJ3000>
[20:45] <tjt7a> Helllo everyone; anyone know about using PXE with ubuntu?
[20:45] <brightspark> blackline, you can put all the packages on one line to reinstall if you want to avoid handling each individually, like so: sudo apt-get install packageone packagetwo packagethree etc.
[20:46] <glitch__> ok is any one good with scripting
[20:46] <melkor> glitch__: your question didn't make too much sense before.
[20:47] <melkor> glitch__: what would you expect the script to do.
[20:48] <glitch__> i working on my video collection and the avi's i have need to be put in to folders  that have the same name as the file so that any meta data can be stored with it
[20:49] <melkor> glitch__: better. So you need to treat the file name as a string and create a directory with a modified version?
[20:50] <glitch__> melkor: yes
[20:51] <KI4RO> Anyone know how to turn on the voice over feature in an IPOD thru UBUNTU?
[20:51] <glitch__> melkor: im good at adjusting existing scripts but when i try to  do some thing any more complex than find on my own  stuff gets deleated

[21:08] <blim> are you guys running 12.10 and installing amd drivers by any chance, because I had problems then I went back to 12.04 and all is good now
[21:08] <wbf> ActionParsnip, No
[21:08] <huttala> blim, I'm using 12.04 64-bit
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> wbf: ok, run:  sudo modprobe -r bcm203x
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> wbf: then follow this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/60319
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> wbf: personally, I'd just buy a new one which is known to work. The one you have seems to need ndiswrapper
[21:10] <bobweaver> That is it I am re-writing these libs No one should have to go through this
[21:10] <Snablers> blim, yes
[21:10] <blim> Im just saying because 12.10 does not support amd drivers
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> blim: depends on the amd chip used
[21:11] <Snablers> blim, ok, i guess i'll try going back to 12.04 :/
[21:11] <alexxxxxa> Hello! I can't use my TV as a monitor. I connected it via VGA cable. It doesnt display.ž
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> blim: the xorg in 12.10 hates 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx ati gpus
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> Snablers: ^
[21:11] <Stalowy_Alchemik> :)
[21:11] <blim> well my 6950 didnt work ether
[21:12] <m477> df command will show me unmounted drive?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> blim: Snablers there is a PPA to work around it, may help
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> m477: you don't mount drives
[21:12] <blim> I tryed to get help here on the matter and got shouted at XD
[21:12] <Snablers> ActionParsnip: sorry, what is a PPA? i'm not familiar with that term.
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> blim: m477: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Snablers: its a 3rd party source for packages
[21:13] <m477> ActionParsnip: I mean external hard disk
[21:13] <m477> what is it
[21:14] <blim> Im good but thanks, things are working great for me now. just trying to get the sound working in doom. Ive got the alsa oss installed and tryed all the start commands but no luck
[21:14] <blim> doom3*
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> m477: it still has a partition on it, even if it takes 100% of the drive space
[21:14] <Snablers> i guess i should stick with 12.04 for now. the last thing i need right now is for my card to overheat and die.
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> m477: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    you will see the drives and partitions visible to the kernel.
[21:15] <blim> have you tryed amdoverdrive?
[21:15] <m477> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> m477: I believe you need to have them mounted to see the free space (gparted may be able to show you the used / free space)
[21:15] <Snablers> no, does that not require the drivers to be installed first?
[21:15] <blim> ubuntu software center
[21:16] <pabst^> Is there somewhere other than the Ubuntu website (another mirror maybe?) to download the Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 Install? Every time I try to download from the ubuntu website it is timing out
[21:16] <blim> yeah
[21:16] <medfly> hi. I am having trouble booting ubuntu normally. it is new and sudden. I am using recovery mode right now. I can't see any error. it just gets stuck halfway through boot
[21:16] <m477> ActionParsnip: no, the thing is that I have broken disk and I want to make sure if it is visible in anyway
[21:17] <medfly> I don't know how to find out why booting is stuck
[21:17] <BluesKaj> pabst^, have you tried the torrent option
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> m477: you could try manually mounting it
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> pabst^: I use the cdimage site
[21:19] <BluesKaj> pabst^, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> pabst^: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> !torrent
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> !torrents
[21:19] <m477> ActionParsnip: I think I cant if fdisk -l dosnt see it
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> m477: yeah thats gonna be an issue
[21:20] <m477> indeed :>
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> m477: if you run:  sudo dmesg clear    then unplug and replug it in, then run: dmesg        do you see any rreaction?
[21:20] <m477> let me check
[21:20] <wbf> Hello! can someone help me with the belkin f5d5050 in ubuntu 12.10?
[21:21] <wbf> Not you this time, action
[21:21] <SonikkuAmerica> wbf: What pray tell is that?
[21:21] <wbf> SonikkuAmerica, a usb 10/100 internet
[21:21] <BluesKaj> wbf , rt2870 driver?
[21:22] <wbf> BluesKaj, where is that driver?
[21:22] <WXZ> ok, I can't find many references on this. but I've got the amd catalyst driver, how do I move windows between desktops (not xinerama, it's not a spanning desktop, it's a multi-desktop)?
[21:22] <m477> ActionParsnip: what kind of reaction do you mean? sudo fdisk -l still doesnt show it
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> wbf: did ndiswrapper not work?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> m477: just any text output by the dmesg command
[21:23] <wbf> ActionParsnip, -_-. It's ARM. Arm has no ndiswrapper
[21:23] <m477> ActionParsnip: should I care in anyway about output of these commands?
[21:23] <m477> ActionParsnip: yea a lot of lines
[21:23] <woo> Hey ActionParsnip
[21:23] <woo> :)
[21:23] <Travis-42> I am able to login to my ubuntu server locally, but when I try to ssh to it, I get permission denied after entering my password. Where might I have misconfigured it? (And I'm sure I'm entering the right password)
[21:23] <m477> ActionParsnip: do you wanna see?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> wbf: then you may have to accommodate your ARM CPU by buying super linux friendly hardware, or compile ndiswrapper
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> m477: sure, use a pastebin
[21:24] <woo> Travis-42: both ubuntu boxes?
[21:24] <wbf> ActionParsnip, I think I found the solution to my problem.
[21:24] <Travis-42> Travis-42: I've tried sshing in from an ubuntu box and from a mac, I don't think that's the problem
[21:25] <Travis-42> err, @woo
[21:25] <woo> Travis-42: did you add the rsa key and configure the mac firewalls.  I had issues with ssh -X with mac
[21:25] <m477> ActionParsnip: here you go: http://pastebin.com/dBEkjSvV
[21:26] <blackline> For some reason I uninstalled the Archive Manager first installed with Ubuntu 12.10. I've reinstalled it and wonder if someone know how to get the "right click - Extract" function in the desktop environment back? It didn't return after reinstalling.
[21:26] <medfly> how can I start X normally from command line?
[21:26] <Travis-42> woo: I was having trouble with the rsa key, so I changed it back to try allowing password logins
[21:26] <SonikkuAmerica> medfly: sudo startx
[21:27] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: it says no screens found.
[21:27] <Dexx1_> anyone use XBMC ? I just installed it and its so laggy and mouse does not work..any ideas?
[21:27] <medfly> I was hoping it is just the wrong command :-)
[21:27] <woo> Travis-42: did you try to mv ssh_config to .ssh_config and make a new ssh_config file?  Sometimes it does't like diffrent mac addresses on the same IP address
[21:27] <ServerSage> Dexx1_: What's your hardware?
[21:27] <b33m> @Dexx1 go with plex
[21:27] <SonikkuAmerica> medfly: Ok, do you have a window manager installed?
[21:27] <b33m> it's a fork off XBMC and much nicer
[21:27] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: yes. I just had trouble booting up (it got stuck). I booted from recovery mode, then asked it to resume normally.
[21:28] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: it resulted in something without X.
[21:28] <medfly> this might be normal, though
[21:28] <Travis-42> woo: how do I make it generate a new file?
[21:28] <woo> Travis-42: touch > ssh_config
[21:28] <SonikkuAmerica> medfly: And after rebooting it, what happened?
[21:29] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: should I try to reboot it again? I haven't made any changes.
[21:29] <Travis-42> woo: ah, you mean just a blank one. ok I'll try this
[21:29] <woo> ya
[21:29] <medfly> I will give it a shot
[21:29] <Dexx1_> ServerSage: hm.. 2.6ghz / 1gb ram / 64mb video memory
[21:29] <wbf> where is the pegasus driver for ubuntu?
[21:29] <Dexx1_> b33m: whell I installed XMBCUbuntu
[21:29] <ServerSage> Dexx1_: It's probably the 64mb of video killing you.
[21:30] <b33m> yeah
[21:30] <b33m> way too little video memory
[21:30] <woo> Travis-42: touch ssh_config * sry
[21:30] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: Why does it matter where the drivers are?  They're in library paths depending on where they come from.  What are you really asking?
[21:30] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, Asking where to download
[21:30] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, I need them for ubuntu on my UG802 and it's based on armhf
[21:31] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: You don't download packages for ubuntu, you use the package manager to install them.
[21:31] <WXZ> ok, I can't find many references on this. but I've got the amd catalyst driver, how do I move windows between desktops (not xinerama, it's not a spanning desktop, it's a multi-desktop)?
[21:31] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: Yeah, I caught that earlier, but thanks for clarifying.
[21:31] <raven_> hi
[21:31] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, as of NOW my box HAS no Internet..... So where in the world do I download the RAW files FROM?
[21:31] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: Do you have apt-file?
[21:31] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, my other box*
[21:31] <raven_> i need a tool that shows me the duration of all mp3 files in a dir
[21:31] <jhutchins_wk> !apt-zip
[21:31] <woo> Wooo Hooo for new nvidia drivers :)
[21:32] <jhutchins_wk> ?
[21:32] <raven_> any ideas?
[21:32] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: There are some tools that let you do that easily - what does your connected system run?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> raven_: mencoder can tell you. You will need a litte bash loop if mencoder doesn't allow globbing
[21:32] <ServerSage> raven_: mencoder, mp3info both can do it.
[21:32] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: it is still causing the same problems. stuck. if I press power button it even shuts itself down "cleanly".
[21:32] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, ubuntu 12.10
[21:33] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: The wifi drivers are all in the kernel package I believe.  Firmware may not be included.
[21:33] <AlphaS> how can i put proxy on ubuntu 12.10 lts ?
[21:33] <tim-ct> hi all
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> AlphaS: 12.10 isn't LTS
[21:33] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, Man I'm using a CUSTOM kernel....
[21:33] <AlphaS> ActionParsnip 12.10 then
[21:33] <AlphaS> can u please help me ?
[21:33] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: Still, it should have the modules included in the source, it's just a matter of including them in the build.
[21:33] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, -_- but the kernel is already installed
[21:34] <m477> ActionParsnip: did you see the link?
[21:34] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: Did you build it or download it?
[21:34] <ServerSage> wbf: You have a customer kernel and want support from #ubuntu?  Recompile the kernel to include what you need.
[21:34] <ServerSage> wbf: *custom
[21:34] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, Download
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> raven_: http://superuser.com/questions/231950/export-total-length-of-mp3-files-in-a-folder
[21:34] <N1ghtCrawler> If I change in the configfile for phpmyadmin that is installed via APT. will the changes persist updates?
[21:34] <medfly> I am having trouble starting X. it says "no screens found". I haven't made any big changes lately.
[21:34] <tim-ct> I am looking for some help... Network run well for about 15 mins then drops connections for about a minute. DHCP is stopped...Any ideas
[21:34] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, and I also cannot change it cause it's an android. I cannot reflash it now, cause it runs ubuntu now....
[21:35] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, I might as well go somewhere else for help....
[21:35] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: The wifi drivers _should_ have been included then.
[21:35] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, they were but they DON'T WORK
[21:35] <AlphaS> i would like to know how can i put proxy on ubuntu 12.10
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> AlphaS: there is a
[21:35] <AlphaS> can anyone help me ?
[21:35] <Travis-42> woo: found the problem, misconfiguration in the sshd_config -- hadn't fully reenabled password logins.
[21:35] <pabst^> BluesKaj, ActionParsnip: Thank you both.
[21:35] <woo> Travis-42: grats
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> AlphaS: look in system settings, for apt-get you will need to use /etc/apt/apt.conf   if memory serves
[21:36] <raven_> ActionParsnip, tnx
[21:36] <AlphaS> i have apt-get
[21:36] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, Trying to be as nice as possible but you give me no help. might as well buy another linux box...
[21:36] <wbf> jhutchins_wk, as in buy a laptop and install linux
[21:36] <woo> Travis-42: did it work?
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> raven_: could change filename.mp3   to   *.mp3    may work
[21:37] <guntbert> !attitude | wbf
[21:37] <AlphaS> ActionParsnip can you help me ?
[21:38] <wbf> Bye then.
[21:38] <jhutchins_wk> wbf: I really couldn't give a crap what you do.  Nobody here has any obligation to help you.  You're getting answers that apply to stock Ubuntu.  That's not what you have, and it's not our fault the answers don't apply.  I would suggest you go to the source of your custom code for support.  There's no way the people here are going to know answers for it except by random chance.
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> AlphaS: i just did, look in settings. It's all I know. I don't use a proxy
[21:39] <guntbert> jhutchins_wk: too late :) (and too angry too :-))
[21:39] <jhutchins_wk> guntbert: Ah well.   I have had some success with renaming my xorg.conf file
[21:41] <WXZ> ok, I can't find many references on this. but I've got the amd catalyst driver, how do I move windows between desktops (not xinerama, it's not a spanning desktop, it's a multi-desktop)?
[21:42] <SonikkuAmerica> medfly: Any luck with that?
[21:42] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: That would depend not on the hardware but on the window manager you're running (Gnome? Unity?)
[21:42] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: Gnome
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> !proxy
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> mmm
[21:43] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: Are the displays the same size?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> AlphaS: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html
[21:43] <Dexx1_> ServerSage: I had windows xp home edition running before and ran HD videos on VLC just fine
[21:43] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: they're the same resolution
[21:44] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: Does click-and-drag not work?
[21:44] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: no, it does if I enable xinerama, but then I get a spanning desktop
[21:44] <jhutchins_wk> I can't move a window if it's full screen.
[21:44] <jhutchins_wk> ...
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: its a completely different OS with completely differet support
[21:45] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: multi-desktop (yes I haven't heard of it before) is like two different desktops, each one has it's own panel apps and workspaces
[21:45] <Dexx1_> ActionParsnip: are there anything out there that will help me make this machine a media server that is similar to xbmc?
[21:45] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: So you want the system to treat the two desktops as different workspaces like they would be on a multi-desktop single-display?
[21:45] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: yes! on the advice of a friend, I hav renamed my xorg.conf file. startx worked (well, it was displaying the right things). rebooted and now t he computer is normal
[21:45] <medfly> SonikkuAmerica: thanks a lot for your help!
[21:46] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: yes, that would be great
[21:46] <b0bbYboy> is there anyway I can recover files from rm -rf???? I'm on a flash drive live USB and I deleted a folder on my SSD
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: boxee, plex
[21:46] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: My guess would be you need a second instance of X running and outputing to the second display.  I don't think Gnome has any way to do that but that could be my ignorance.
[21:46] <SonikkuAmerica> medfly: You're welcome, glad it worked! (Your friend was right... if all else fails graphics wise, purge your xorg.conf)
[21:47] <jhutchins_wk> WXZ: You might find some answers by looking for info on "multi-seat" linux.
[21:47] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: I think a second instance of X is already running somehow, I don't know, AMD is some proprietary stuff
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: if your hardware isn't up to the job, or fully capable under Linux then you won't get playback, no matter what app
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: xbmc is far from light
[21:47] <WXZ> jhutchins_wk: ok thanks, I'll try that one
[21:47] <Dexx1_> ActionParsnip: whats the lightest-weight alternative?
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: I use vlc and use the web ui which I control from my android phone :)
[21:47] <chiluk> Dexx1_,  you might consider mythtv
[21:48] <ztgu> Hi, I am having problems with sleep on my linux laptop. (suspend to ram). Is there anyone who know how to fix this problem?
[21:48] <chiluk> also not very light
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> Dexx1_: probably the vlc web thing
[21:48] <m477> ActionParsnip: you didnt answer me, should I understand that you wont help me anymore? (anyway thanks)
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> m477: keep your hair on, i missed the text. that's all. Nice attitude you have there
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> m477: what is the issue
[21:49] <blackline> I'll rephrase my question. If I want option to Extract zip/rar packages directly by right click in desktop enviroment, how do I proceed, what do I need. I don't have that for the moment.
[21:49] <m477> ActionParsnip: did you see the link which I pasted?
[21:50] <b0bbYboy> is there anyway I can recover files from rm -rf???? I'm on a flash drive live USB and I deleted a folder on my SSD
[21:50] <jhutchins_wk> m477: You have to understand that we're all just fellow users.  Real Life sometimes interferes with conversations here.
[21:51] <nimrod10> what is the replacement for rc.local in ubuntu 12.04 ? I've tried using /etc/init/local.conf as an upstart replacement but still no luck
[21:51] <nimrod10> the lines from rc.local or /etc/init/local.conf seem to be ignored
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> nimrod10, what're you trying to run?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> m477: no, like I said..I missed the text
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> (in those)
[21:52] <nimrod10> TheLordOfTime, a few powertop suggested commands
[21:52] <m477> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/dBEkjSvV
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> nimrod10, and what makes you believe that they're not running
[21:52] <jhutchins_wk> m477: I'll look at your pastebin and see if I can figure out what you're trying to do.
[21:52] <jhutchins_wk> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/dBEkjSvV
[21:53] <jhutchins_wk> Gaah.  Full dmesg dump.
[21:53] <nimrod10> TheLordOfTime, for example I'm running   echo '1' > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save   but  a   cat  /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save  shows 0 after a reboot
[21:53] <m477> jhutchins_wk: my external disk seems to be broken, and I am trying to establish the issue
[21:53] <jhutchins_wk> m477: Sometime you should go through one of those and figure out what each line is telling you, but what are you trying to fix?
[21:53] <jhutchins_wk> m477: USB?
[21:53] <m477> yes
[21:53] <m477> SSD
[21:53] <David_N> Hello. I am deploying Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a dedicated server (Intel Core2Quad 2.+Ghz. 8GB PC2-5400 DDR2. 2x 500GB+ SATA in RAID1. 5000GB transfer allowance /month.), should I use the 32-bit or 64-bit version?
[21:54] <SonikkuAmerica> ztgu: How old is the laptop?
[21:54] <jhutchins_wk> m477: So something like dmesg |grep -i USB would be useful.
[21:54] <bekks> David_N: 64bit.
[21:54] <m477> jhutchins_wk: I did the following instruction: run:  sudo dmesg clear    then unplug and replug it in, then run: dmesg
[21:54] <David_N> bekks: Thanks, I remember asking a year or so ago and people said "Use 32-bit on a server.", can't remember why.
[21:54] <ztgu> SonikkuAmerica: It was released two months ago or something like that
[21:54] <nimrod10> anyone knows what is the upstart alternative to the old  rc.local ?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> m477: is it an encrypted partition?
[21:54] <jhutchins_wk> m477: So relelvant messages should be at the end of dmesg.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> nimrod10: rc.local still gets used
[21:55] <David_N> Is ufw enabled by default?
[21:55] <m477> ActionParsnip: it isnt, I tihnk
[21:55] <nimrod10> ActionParsnip,  hmm , I have a few powertop commands in it that don't seem to happen
[21:55] <jhutchins_wk> m477: The pastebin doesn't show that happening.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> m477: I have no experience of it. Too many headaches
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> m477: the last 2 entries are useful
[21:56] <SonikkuAmerica> ztgu: So what happens if you try to suspend
[21:56] <jhutchins_wk> ActionParsnip: I don't think they're the drive.
[21:56] <m477> jhutchins_wk: what happening?
[21:56] <m477> ActionParsnip: which ones
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> nimrod10: if you add the command:   echo "test" | tee /home/yourname/Desktop/text.txt > /dev/null        above the exit 0 line and reboot, does the file get created?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> m477: both
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> nimrod10: obviously change the username to your user's
[21:57] <m477> jhutchins_wk: output of the dmesg |grep -i USB  http://pastebin.com/iC2NC3ay
[21:57] <ztgu> SonikkuAmerica: The suspend it successful, like I can see in the log, but on resume my screen stays black. I can turn the system off with ctrl + alt + del..
[21:57] <nimrod10> ActionParsnip, that is the next thing I've just done, each file rc.local & /etc/init/local.conf shall touch a file in /var/tmp . See you after a reboot
[21:57] <Dexx1_> ActionParsnip: I think it's a driver/OpenGL issue
[21:57] <Dexx1_> just not sure how to fix it
[21:57] <m477> ActionParsnip: sorry I dont follow about which entries, you are talking about
[21:58] <jhutchins_wk> m477: No storage devices there.
[21:58] <jhutchins_wk> m477: I thought you said you did a clear?  What was the command you used again?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> m477: in the pastebin, scroll to the bottom and read
[21:59] <SonikkuAmerica> ztgu: So in other words it never wakes up after you press a key or move the mouse.
[21:59] <jhutchins_wk> ActionParsnip: There's no evidence of a storage device being connected.  That would preceed any encryption messages.
[21:59] <jhutchins_wk> m477: Was the device connected at boot?
[21:59] <m477> yes
[22:00] <memand> besame: why are you spamming?
[22:00] <m477> jhutchins_wk: yes, but why does it matter if it is USB
[22:00] <SanJeronimo> bonsoir
[22:00] <m477> connection
[22:00] <SanJeronimo> il y a quelqu'un par montmartre??
[22:00] <ztgu> SonikkuAmerica: The system wakes up, but not my screen, I can perform restart and shutdown shortcuts, so it's obviously awake.
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> !fr | SanJeronimo
[22:01] <m477> ActionParsnip: jhutchins_wk basically  even bios doesnt see it, if I plug via SATA
[22:01] <memand> if there are any mods in here I think that besame is a spam bot
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> m477: sounds like a bad IDE
[22:02] <SanJeronimo> thank you
[22:02] <SonikkuAmerica> ztgu: Sounds like a graphics card problem to me, but I can't put my finger on it...
[22:02] <m477> ActionParsnip: IDE, how is it connected  with that
[22:02] <ztgu> SonikkuAmerica: Why graphics card problem?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> m477: the ide on the drive isn't reporting the drive make and model if it isn't picking up in BIOS
[22:03] <jhutchins_wk> m477: hang on a sec, phone.
[22:04] <m477> jhutchins_wk: np, take ur time
[22:05] <SonikkuAmerica> ztgu: It sounds like you can interact with your computer but you can't get anything on the screen...
[22:05] <m477> ActionParsnip: do you know maybe, what does it mean, what can be broken?
[22:05] <m477> in this situation
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> m477: drives fail, it happens
[22:05] <jhutchins_wk> m477: So is this an external drive with esata and usb connectors?
[22:06] <nimrod10> TheLordOfTime, ActionParsnip, both commands in  rc.local and /etc/init/local.conf create a file. So both must be working then ... Very strange that the other powertop related commands don't run ( appear to not run anyway )
[22:06] <ztgu> My system is able to resume from suspend only after I've let it hibernate.
[22:06] <ztgu> When I do a fresh boot and suspend the system just after the desktop started, resuming will result in a black screen and I had to power off the computer (see pm-suspend-kde-fail.log).
[22:06] <ztgu> When I do a fresh boot, hibernate the system just after the desktop started, resume, and do the suspend then, the system resumes without a problem (see pm-suspend-kde-success.log).
[22:06] <ztgu> Does somebody know what could be done by hibernate that is needed for a successful resume after suspend but is not done by suspend alone? How does hibernate affect my system?
[22:06] <m477> jhutchins_wk: no, I have external tray
[22:06] <FloodBot1> ztgu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:07] <jhutchins_wk> m477: How sure are we that the drive has power?
[22:07] <m477> jhutchins_wk: I mean hdd tray, SATA -> USB
[22:07] <jhutchins_wk> Thing about ssds is they don't spin up.
[22:08] <m477> jhutchins_wk: I was plugging other SSD which was working
[22:09] <nimrod10> ztgu, what graphics card do you have on your system ?
[22:09] <jhutchins_wk> m477: I'm afraid that from what we can suggest in the way of troubleshooting, there's only one possible conclusion: dead drive.
[22:10] <ztgu> nimrod10: I have a radeon HD 7730M gpu, and an A10 cpu with integrated gpu,
[22:10] <nimrod10> ztgu, have you installed the proprietary ATI drivers ?
[22:12] <ztgu> nimrod10: I am using the opensource drivers, I control my video cards with vga_switcheroo to change and turn off cards.
[22:13] <nimrod10> ztgu, I was thingking it might be from the proprietary graphics drivers , but since you don't have those I can only direct you to look into /var/log/syslog and /var/log/X.0.log for more info
[22:13] <kslater> stupid Unity. Won't let me change my desktop background image? That can't be..
[22:14] <m477> jhutchins_wk: I thought so, does it mean that I lost the data, or you can't tell that basing on that what you know
[22:16] <raphytaffy> what IDE is everyone using to program in c/c++?
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[22:16] <Gehaktbal_> iam using qtcreator
[22:16] <jeffg> hi folks.  i've got several 12.04 LTS systems, 32-bit, that seem to gain inet6 SLAAC addresses and then forget about them (i.e. stop responding on them) after a few days' time.  does that sound familiar to anybody?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> kslater: sure it will
[22:17] <raphytaffy> thanks!
[22:17] <WXZ> can anyone tell me if I have multiple xorg servers (or root windows) running if I post my xorg.conf?
[22:17] <fragy> Hello. I have  a laptop Asus K53SC with hybrid graphics. Until recently, optirun ran fine, but now I get: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the display subsystem for the NVIDIA. I've tried all solutions I could find, but no luck. Help please?
[22:17] <kslater> Using Settings->Appearance?
[22:17] <jeffg> the systems are at two different sites.  at one site the router advertisements come from a cisco router, at the other they come from a pfSense router.  so i'm reasonably confident that the advertisements are not at fault.
[22:18] <goddard> Do we call Ubuntu systems PC's?
[22:18] <kslater> I call mine my laptop. :-)
[22:19] <raphytaffy> so i'm able to see my WIndows PC when i browse networks, but when i double-click it, i get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to retrieve share list from server" error
[22:19] <raphytaffy> any ideas on how to get past this?
[22:19] <goddard> I think it is funny how everyone has this division they say Mac or PC
[22:19] <goddard> when the Mac is a PC
[22:20] <goddard> its damned confusing
[22:20] <nimrod10> goddard, all of them are PCs
[22:20] <goddard> we need a new name Ubuntu now haha
[22:20] <nimrod10> it is just marketing carp ...
[22:20] <k1l> goddard: that topic would suit better in the offtopic channel
[22:20] <goddard> I'm an Ubuntu
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> goddard: could say 'IBM compatible' :)
[22:20] <jhutchins_wk> goddard: I think everybody pretty much understands the difference between a mac and a pc when the terms are used together.
[22:21] <jhutchins_wk> There are any number of terms that are more specific.
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> as long as the language achieves it's goal, its fine
[22:22] <jhutchins_wk> raphytaffy: Is the linux box a member of the same workgroup?  How did you share the folder?  Are you sure you did?  Does it extpect a username/password?
[22:23] <kslater> ActionParsnip: I have a dual monitor setup. Maybe that's the problem?
[22:23] <kslater> Twinview
[22:23] <xsl> in a ubuntu host i have the firewall loggin working ok and going to syslog or to whatever log i want... but wen i get the lxcontainers up ... the firewall logs randomly on each container and stops loggin on the host
[22:24] <xsl> anyone knows why this happens, or a way to prevent this?
[22:24] <jeffg> to get pedantic about it, a PC has an intel 8080 cpu clocked at 4.77MHz and a Macintosh has a motorola 68000 cpu clocked at 8MHz.
[22:24] <raphytaffy> @jhutchins_wk how can i be sure that the linux box is a member of the same workgroup? i was just using the browse network option under network and it sees all of my PCs under my workgroup, so i just assumed they were in the same workgroup
[22:24] <jeffg> sorry, s/8080/8088/
[22:25] <raphytaffy> @jhutchins_wk i shared the folders from my win7 pc. it's definitely shared as i can access it via other devices on the same network. it may expect my windows username/password
[22:26] <kslater> do I have to do something to 'apply' my change of the wallpaper?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> kslater: right click desktop -> change wallpaper
[22:27] <kslater> right click desktop, no context menu displayed.
[22:28] <melkor> Is there a way to restart my sounds. When I boot up it works great. After some change, unplugging the hdmi cable while sipping coffee with the computer suspended my sounds stop working.
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> kslater: system settings -> appearence
[22:28] <alex20032> should i install the boot loader at /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 ??
[22:28] <kslater> yeah, tried that too
[22:29] <kslater> allows me to select, but I would expect the background to change and it doesn't.
[22:29] <kslater> w/e
[22:29] <melkor> I added the sipping coffee part because when I uplugged the hdmi cable while the computer was suspended it the sounds came back when the computer resumed.
[22:30] <xsl> no one can help me plz :(
[22:30] <xsl> i searched all over the place and i have no idea on the cause of the problem
[22:30] <melkor> xsl: what is lxcontainers?
[22:31] <jhutchins_wk> !patience
[22:32] <ruchir> any software like idm for linux
[22:32] <xsl> !lxcontainers
[22:32] <xsl> aww it was nice to have this give you the definition :)
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> kslater: isn't there a new way to do it now, not used my lappy in ages tbh
[22:33] <jhutchins_wk> xsl: They're only there if someone builds them.
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> kslater: can you set it from within fspot etc?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> kslater: shotwell etc?
[22:33] <jhutchins_wk> melkor: Have you tried restarting alsa?
[22:33] <kslater> good question, let me give it a whirl
[22:33] <tqrst> why does ubuntu ship with a version of awk that doesn't support null delimiters? echo "a\0b" | awk -F'\0' '{ print "\n"$2"/"$1;}' works fine with gawk and prints "b/a", but mawk (ubuntu) prints "/a".
[22:34] <kslater> even Nautilus maybe?
[22:34] <xsl> have no idea on how to build it jhutchins_wk . otherwise i could write something like "user space control package for Linux Containers, a virtual system similar to chroot. http://lxc.sourceforge.net"
[22:34] <melkor> jhutchins_wk: there isn't an alsa service, there is alsa-store and alsa-restore
[22:34] <kslater> whoa, system is severly overtaxed right now
[22:35] <kslater> When I clicked on my home folder the background changed.
[22:35] <Akull> uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[22:35] <Akull> :D
[22:35] <bekks> tqrst: Ubuntu supports gawk as well
[22:35] <kslater> heavy iowait. I'm going to walk away and let my rsync backup complete.
[22:36] <thalib> where can i get the ubuntu tv
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> !tv
[22:36] <Akull>  monaco edhe ktu ma zi koka
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> gah
[22:36] <monaco> Akull: ehhh po tybe :P
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> thalib: isn't there a ppa for it
[22:36] <therokone> lol
[22:37] <melkor> jhutchins_wk: I've tried the pulseaudio and that doesn't get my sounds back.
[22:37] <thalib> no i mean the ubuntu tv featured in the ubuntu page
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> thalib: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-ubuntu-tv-right-now-via-ppa
[22:37] <blim> hi, I cant get the sound to work in doom3. Ive tryed everything I can find online but I get "sound subsystem disabled" with "pasuspender ./doom.x86". any idea?
[22:38] <thalib> what is PPA
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> thalib: 3rd party source for packages, not sure if that ppa suppors the newer releases
[22:38] <brightspark> thalib, a 3rd-party package source
[22:38] <thalib> thanks
[22:39] <thalib> i dont know much about ubuntu or linux
[22:39] <thalib> so want to get started
[22:39] <kslater> does that even exist yet?
[22:39] <thalib> i have a vaio vpcf11j0e
[22:39] <chazword> I have a 10.04 system with 45 drives arranged in 5 RAIDs.  Often, the RAIDs (via mdadm) will try to initalize before all the drives have initialized.  Obviously this causes the RAIDs to fail.  Is there a way to force assembling RAIDs to be the absolutely last thing that the system does?  update-rc.d to 99 still has RAID assembly coming before framebuffer initialization.
[22:39] <thalib> i dont know which linux distribution to use as i am in uni also
[22:39] <kslater> seems like a decent amount of stuff needs to be in place unless it's just a fancy way to stream content from Amazon, etc.
[22:39] <thalib> should i use mint or ubuntu
[22:39] <jhutchins_wk> What?  Ubuntu is promoting vaporware?  I'm SHOCKED I tell you, just SHOCKED.
[22:40] <melkor> odd my internet seems to cut out for 30s every so often.
[22:40] <k1l> thalib: this is a ubuntu channel, so ubuntu
[22:40] <jhutchins_wk> k1l: Wifi?
[22:40] <k1l> jhutchins_wk: ?
[22:40] <kslater> thalib: mythbuntu
[22:40] <thalib> what is the difference between ubuntu and mint
[22:40] <thalib> what is mythbuntu
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> thalib: support for mint is separate to Ubuntu's
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> thalib: different default app set
[22:41] <melkor> thalib: mint is built on ubuntu and it has a bunch of artwork and packaging.
[22:41] <jhutchins_wk> thalib: Kinda like ford and chrysler.  More like if crysler bought it's parts from ford.
[22:42] <thalib> so if i want to play games or use word or excell like programs which one is better also for web surfing
[22:42] <melkor> Like Mazda and Ford light pick up trucks in the  90's.
[22:42] <melkor> The ford was a mazda rebranded.
[22:42] <jhutchins_wk> melkor: Yeah, except the parts aren't always the same.
[22:43] <melkor> thalib: get a live cd and try it out. The differences are aethetics.
[22:43] <anli_> Is there still a way of escaping unity and use gnome-session?
[22:43] <thalib> what is a live cd
[22:43] <jhutchins_wk> thalib: Also the support channels for Ubuntu are more active.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> thalib: they are very similar, I recommend you try both
[22:44] <melkor> thalib: do you have a cd rom?
[22:44] <thalib> yes
[22:44] <melkor> !livecd
[22:44] <k1l> thalib: again: you ask in a ubuntu channel so the best answer is ubuntu :)
[22:44] <xangua> !nounity | anli_
[22:45] <melkor> thalib: it is pretty easy to  d/load the iso and burn it to a bootable cd.
[22:45] <k1l> anli_: since unity is based on gnome3 and ubuntu ships the gnome-shell in their repos there is always a choice for gnome-shell
[22:45] <anli_> wow, the lag when I write something in my vbox installed ubuntu is terrible
[22:46] <thalib> ok cool i will try this tonight thanks guys u have helped me alot
[22:46] <anli_> Maybe I need to activate some graphics card acceleration?
[22:47] <k1l> anli_: on a vserver?
[22:47] <chazword> So, basically the question is how do I force an init script to be the ABSOLUTELY LAST thing that is run on boot.  updated-rc.d to 99 still has things coming after it.
[22:47] <anli_> k1l: virtualbox
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> anli_: install xfce4 package in the virtual OS, log off and log in to the XFCE session, it'll be faster
[22:47] <k1l> anli_: the whole big dsktops dont run quick as a native install in the vbox.
[22:48] <k1l> anli_: but make sure to have the guest addidions installed
[22:48] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: rc.local should be the last thing init runs.
[22:48] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: Then again, it's not init any more.
[22:48] <anli_> Will the use of xfce4 something package intrude on my possibilities to use gnome-session?
[22:48] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: Why does it need to be last?
[22:49] <chazword> jhutchins_wk: It's 45 SATA drives initializing.  If it doesn't come last, then it tries to initialize the RAIDS before the drives are ready.
[22:49] <chazword> so /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid needs to be the last thing to run.  With it as 99, it boots mostly correctly one out of 50 times.  With mdadm-raid turned off and then manually started, it works fine everytime.
[22:50] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: So you have to make it dependent on the previous step.
[22:50] <k1l> anli_: xfce is another Desktop
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> anli_: you can simply select the session you want at login
[22:50] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: Possibly with a wait if you know the interval.
[22:50] <chazword> jhutchins_wk: I believe it is, but putting it into rc.local might be the way to go.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> anli_: I alway s suggest XFCE or LXDE for virtualized OSes, they use fewer resources so are more responsive
[22:51] <anli_> xcfe is an alternative to gnome-session, I take it
[22:51] <chazword> There is no specific interval.  It's 5 RAID6s with 9 drives each.  Sometimes it comes up with 5 drives in each RAID, sometimes with 7, sometimes with just 5 drives in 1 RAID, and sometimes with 9 drives in all the RAIDs except for md0 which has 7.  If I manually start mdadm-raid after boot, everything is perfect
[22:51] <jhutchins_wk> anli_: A little deeper than that, but essentially.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> anli_: its a desktop environment, it wil run instead of Gnome
[22:51] <ReKeToN-DeL_SuR> alguien español?
[22:51] <anli_> ok
[22:51] <ReKeToN-DeL_SuR> :)
[22:52] <k1l> anli_: vbox is not compareable to a native install. you have to think about that it is much slower. so you have to reduce the expectations on that
[22:52] <k1l> !es | ReKeToN-DeL_SuR
[22:52] <anli_> hm, ok
[22:52] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: Right, so you figure out what starts the drives, you figure out how long they take to come up, and you invoke a delay between the first step and the second.
[22:52] <anli_> k1l: I like the low commitment of running virtually
[22:52] <ReKeToN-DeL_SuR> ubottu gracias amigo ;)
[22:53] <k1l> anli_: think about using desktops for low hardware ressources like xfce or lxde
[22:53] <ReKeToN-DeL_SuR> ostias es un bot?
[22:53] <anli_> Maybe I just need a cooler 3d card
[22:53] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: I suspect that whatever starts the drives doesn't really know whether they're ready when it exits, so you have to either wait or have a way of testing.
[22:53] <anli_> gnome-sessions with all extras turned off is also ok, I think
[22:53] <chazword> jhutchins_wk: Yeah, I'm putting it in rc.local with a wait 30 before it, I think that should do it, but I can always adjust the wait.
[22:54] <k1l> anli_: gnome-shell is still a 3d desktop that will use alot of power, though
[22:54] <chazword> jhutchins_wk: Thanks for your help.  I've done all the other UNIXs and Linuxs, but Ubuntu is the newer one for me.  The init setup in 10.04 seemed to be a few different systems working together rather than anything fully cohesive, so it was a bit odd.
[22:54] <anli_> well, true
[22:54] <chazword> Then again, this whole systme is a bit odd.  I recommend against backblaze hardware setups.
[22:54] <bampersand> Hey guys. I'm wanting to map CAPS to CTRL-BACKSPACE any idea how I could do this? I googled mapping but most posts are asking for key->key not a sequence
[22:55] <anli_> I will now try to enable the 3d acc and 2d acc in vbox
[22:55] <anli_> Maybe thats not a terribly bad idea
[22:56] <jhutchins_wk> chazword: upstart, which replaces init, attepmts to make startup faster by running many of the steps in parallel instead of sequentially.  To do this, it has to have better information about what each scripts depends on.
[22:56] <anli_> Wow, no difference
[22:58] <anli_> the xfce advice is growing on me
[22:59] <wabash> Hello, I'm looking at Ubuntu, from Fedora. I'd like to make the switch, but I have a few questions.
[22:59] <wabash> A) for the extra repositories (like the non-free, gstreamer codecs, that kind of stuff), does Ubuntu come with those set up? I.E., the keys and stuff all come with it?
[22:59] <anli_> Or why not fluxbox
[22:59] <wabash> B) How hard is it to take standard Ubuntu, and install KDE on it (if I decide I don't like unity)?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> wabash: sure, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you are ready to rock
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> anli_: you could run just fluxbox, no desktop means the OS is lighter
[23:03] <anli_> trying ubuntu-restricted-extras then
[23:03] <mladoux> wabash: not too difficult.
[23:04] <wabash> ActionParsnip: Is this 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package available in the default repos? Are you saying that I can find it there, then install it, and then the additional repos will be available?
[23:04] <Dexx1_> Can someone help me install the driver for my video card? Its Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset
[23:04] <Dexx1_> I have XBMCbuntu installed but it now hangs at startup
[23:05] <Dexx1_> If it helps, details about the graphics card: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1511150
[23:05] <anli_> ubuntu-restricted-extras was nothing about the performance problems, right?
[23:05] <anli_> Just a cool set of packages
[23:06] <wabash> anli_: No I think that was for me. I was wondering about codecs and such.
[23:06] <anli_> gdm or lightdm?
[23:06] <anli_> aha!
[23:06] <anli_> I installed it as well
[23:06] <anli_> lol :)
[23:06] <anli_> lightdm seems to be lighter
[23:07] <kslater> what the heck is jdb2 and why is it such an IO pig?
[23:07] <anli_> Maybe I should always use a lighter ubuntu version when I run in a vbox, like kubuntu or something
[23:08] <kslater> !jdb2
[23:08] <anli_> lol @ io pig :)
[23:08] <kslater> !jbd2
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> wabash: yes, just install the package and watch it run
[23:09] <wabash> ActionParsnip: Nice thank you!
[23:09] <wabash> ActionParsnip: I'd like to clarify...
[23:10] <wabash> ActionParsnip: default repos are all ubuntu/free. Then to access the other repo, I install a package from default repo,a nd that package sets up the non-free repo?
[23:10] <bobrik> hi sll
[23:10] <bobrik> all
[23:10] <anli_> wow, when I logout, the xserver is killed
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> wabash: free as in beer, yes. Some stuff (like the restricted extras) have non-free (as in speech) packages
[23:11] <kslater> I wonder if this high amount of io by jbd2 is related to having installed zfs as a kernel module
[23:11] <wabash> ActionParsnip: Yes, without mincing hairs.... :) I just meant in terms of setting that up. Compared to Fedora, which is a PITA
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> wabash: Ubuntu is made for newcomers to Ubuntu, so there is a LOT of hand holding
[23:13] <emx> the letters on my display have a coloured surrounding instead of a grey gradient (anti-aliasing or something). can i change to grey gradient?
[23:14] <anli_> Time for some serious lubuntu business

[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Yoshimitsu: howdy
[23:22] <usr13> ligerov1: Open a terminal, type  tail -f /var/log/syslog  and hit enter.  Plug in one of your devices and see what messages or errors you get.
[23:22] <ligerov1> ActionParsnip: no, wifi usb adapter TP-Link
[23:23] <jonjo> ActionParsnip: do I need root for that?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> ligerov1: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network     do you see the wifi interface?
[23:24] <ztgu> What is the thing with /etc/fstab ??

[23:30] <spongle> configure.ac:38: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or later before running autoconf/autogen (Anybody know what package provides this, please?  I'm tired of allegations
[23:32] <jonjo> lol riderplus
[23:32] <anderson__> do you like install ubuntu phone in nexus smartphone?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> ztgu: because that file tells the OS how to mount the file systems
[23:32] <codelurker> looking for a new twitter client - hotot currently the best/most popular?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: constructive
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> codelurker: I use the web browser
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> codelurker: or twidge in CLI
[23:33] <codelurker> i have been using browser and turses (cli) but looking for a gui solution
[23:33] <alexxxxka> guys, after updating, display won't work. I started under older kernel. It works perfectly.   If they ignore it, kill them.
[23:38] <ztgu> ActionParsnip: If you see the post at the bottom, the long one by defensorfedei, That's what he does to fix suspend to ram problem I have. but When i do it my linux won't boot so I need to fix it in recovery mode. Idea?
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> jonjo: you are free to use what you wish :)
[23:38] <riderplus> WanderingEnder: =))
[23:39] <jonjo> thats the beauty of linux
[23:39] <ztgu> ActionParsnip: Forgot the link:     http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/suspend-hibernation-resume-problems-with-ati-graphics-card-760878/
[23:39] <riderplus> ubuntu is the best distro imho
[23:39] <jonjo> wouldnt go that far ;)
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: just use what you want and don't listen to anyone else...I did that a long time ago and everyone laughed, asking why I wasn't installing the new Windows XP
[23:39] <riderplus> but ok haven't tried gentoo ;)
[23:40] <jonjo> riderplus: it has its purpose depends what you do
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: that's fine too, you can have your opinion, milions will disagree and millions wil agree.
[23:40] <dr_willis> I disagree with that statement...
[23:40] <dr_willis> ;P
[23:41] <riderplus> look, I'm reporting bugs on launchpad, I try to make myself useful. then you hear you're stupid 'cause you use ubuntu or crazy because you like gnome3
[23:41] <riderplus> no comment
[23:41] <ztgu> ActionParsnip: I have the same config in my fstab, but my own UUID's of course
[23:41] <ztgu> I have no idea what the problem can be
[23:41] <jrib> riderplus: let's get back to support please
[23:41] <jonjo> lol
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: tell them who owns and run launchpad :)
[23:42] <jonjo> or just ignore them and leave the room?
[23:42] <riderplus> ffs, it's #linux...
[23:42] <WanderingEnder> why leave the room when you can use ignore.
[23:42] <WanderingEnder> Or make them shut the heck up due to their stupidity in a grand and spectaular way.
[23:43] <jrib> feel free to discuss people's attitudes towards distro choices in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Keep in mind #ubuntu is for support questions only
[23:43] <jonjo> what do you need #linux for? most distros provide all the support you need. using ubuntu I am sure the support in this room is all you need
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> jonjo: its distro ambiguous
[23:43] <riderplus> #linux is against ubuntu...every time I ask a question and say I'm using ubuntu they come with that freaking l33t attitude. but let's stop this, ok?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> jonjo: also good for kernel issues
[23:44] <jonjo> meh
[23:44] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever been in #linux in the years ive been on this server.
[23:44] <jonjo> I never have
[23:44] <jrib> I really don't want to kick people because of this.
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: well you won't see anyone in here doing that as we all use and support ubuntu (for the most part)
[23:44] <riderplus> then I won't EVER join that freaking channel
[23:44] <makuto> I've been making a graphical editor that uses the console for input (with C++, SFML). When I execute the program by clicking the executable no console window comes up. How can I force it to open a console window? (Point me to the right IRC if this isn't the place)
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> riderplus: so asking US to stop it is pretty pointless....it's not us.
[23:45] <jonjo> makuto: just type the application in the terminal
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> makuto: are you running it via a .desktop file?
[23:45] <makuto> ActionParsnip: No
[23:45] <dr_willis> makuto:   You could always have the .desktop file launch a shell/terminal that runs the app.
[23:46] <dr_willis> or a scrit that does it.
[23:46] <makuto> jonjo: I know, but it isn't very convenient
[23:46] <dr_willis> ie:   xterm -e  commandname
[23:46] <brightspark> makuto, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but you used to be able to right-click and hit "Run in Terminal"
[23:46] <riderplus> I'm going to grab some beers and enjoy ubuntu...I bet those guys don't even know where "ubuntu" comes from...nighty night
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> makuto: If you right click the file, is there an option to run in terminal?
[23:46] <spongle> can i just ask, is this the best channel to even be asking for help in compiling a video driver?
[23:47] <makuto> dr_willis: I don't know how to make .desktop files, but I will learn! That should fix my problem
[23:47] <jonjo> ActionParsnip: should I be able to see the files transfered on my nexus while still connected?
[23:47] <makuto> And no, no option to run in term
[23:47] <dr_willis> makuto:  they are simple text files.
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> makuto: if you copy one from ~/.config/autostart    you can edit it to run what you wish. You can even copy it to /usr/share/applications and it will appear in Dash
[23:47] <Orphis> Hi! I'm trying to resolve netbios name in my ubuntu (quantal). I've installed winbind and added wins to /etc/nsswitch.conf but it's still not working. Ideas?
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> jonjo: depends how you copy them
[23:48] <jonjo> rsync
[23:48] <brightspark> makuto, do you have the correct permissions (755 or whatever) on the file?
[23:48] <makuto> ActionParsnip & dr_willis: Yeah, that'll work, thanks!
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> jonjo: you won't see the files til you unmount the device
[23:48] <jonjo> there is another way? ;)
[23:49] <jonjo> still not showing up
[23:49] <jordi_> !help
[23:50] <jonjo> oh wait
[23:51] <jordi_> how i  go to the spanish channel?
[23:51] <jonjo> I can not remount it
[23:51] <jonjo> #ubuntu-es ?
[23:52] <jordi_> i´m gonna try, thanks
[23:52] <jordi_> #ubuntu-es
[23:52] <jordi_> xD
[23:52] <teslas_moustache> I'm trying to restore backups on a fresh 12.04 install and Deja Dup isn't doing it. It just asks for a password, encryption passphrase, password again, and says it was successful within about 30 seconds. So I'm trying to use Duplicity in CLI, but I'm having trouble with that as well.
[23:52] <jonjo> how did I guess :P
[23:53] <Savage_CL> what's the force close hotkey?
[23:54] <teslas_moustache> I enter "duplicity --gio file:///media/LaCie /tmp/restore" and it returns "/home/chris/.cache/duplicity/a9f25ded84e82d510fd93976ed2e96ce' does not exist, or is not a directory"
[23:54] <spongle> ok, am getting somewhere with this, but i am stuck right now locating package similar to xorg-macros - what's the ubuntu package name for this?
[23:55] <teslas_moustache> sorry. full output is "Specified archive directory '/home/chris/.cache/duplicity/a9f25ded84e82d510fd93976ed2e96ce' does not exist, or is not a directory"
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> teslas_moustache: does the folder (or file) exist?
[23:59] <teslas_moustache> No. and I suppose I can create a directory with that name but....well I guess there's only one way to find out.
