[09:35] <primski> hello, using Network Manager and shared connection over wifi as Hotspot, how can I set a DNS server that is being sent down to client?
[09:36] <An_Ony_Moose> I removed a bunch of photos from my shotwell library but didn't move them into the desktop trash. Is it possible to remove them now?
[09:36] <floatingfeijoa> hi, where do I add a chainloading entry?
[09:37] <wan26> carsten_db, maybe try repairing a copy of that mkv file with something like Meteorite which is a repair engine,
[09:37] <Zeptis> do you remember what directory shotwell was using, Moose?
[09:39] <carsten_db> wan26: thanks a lot, I'll look into that
[09:41] <Zeptis> is there a way to get dpkg to be more verbose?
[09:41] <cristian_c> Zeptis, I think so
[09:42] <cristian_c> Zeptis, it depends by what you mean with 'more'
[09:43] <al2> hello testing
[09:43] <Zeptis> hello al2
[09:43] <user_> hi folks. major problems here... how do i boot into single user using wubi?
[09:44] <user_> searched the web, but nada....
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> !wubi
[09:46] <carsten_db> this is the log from vlc player: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169553/
[09:46] <user_> ubottu: Thanks for the info. I already installed ubuntu using wubi. after messing around groups, my user can no longer sudo - hence i can not root anymore to my system.
[09:47] <user_> LOL
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> carsten_db:you got all codecs needed to play your special mkv's?
[09:50] <krababbel> On a desktop without Gnome, is there any recommended utility to put the PC to sleep or hibernation? pm-utils work here, but I read that I shouldn't invoke it manually.
[09:50] <carsten_db> lotuspsychje: I hope so, how can I check?
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> carsten_db:maybe you can try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:51] <An_Ony_Moose> user_: don't mess around with groups. Do you have a root password set?
[09:53] <notwo> I am having trouble
[09:53] <notwo> cant find it
[09:53] <notwo> :(
[09:53] <carsten_db> lotuspsychje: thanks, I'll give it a try. how can I find out the coded of the file anyway? I tried "file"; but that only responds "Matroska data"
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> carsten_db: many times the mkv shows the info in title, lke many mediadrives cant play 'HQ' mkv's
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> carsten_db: AC3 is also a hard one for many players
[09:56] <carsten_db> lotuspsychje: ok, thanks :-)
[09:58] <carsten_db> it seems the codec is H264 MPEG-4 AVC1 (whatever that means :-) )
[09:59] <Zeptis> krababbel: pm-suspend and pm-hibernate, maybe?
[10:01] <krababbel> Zeptis: I can use them, I am not sure if it is the recommended way to do, some tutorial says that doing it manually like that without any frameworks should only be done for debugging.
[10:01] <carsten_db> installing ubuntu-restricted-extras leads to occasional updates of the screen (every 10 seconds or so) whereas it was completely black beforehand... I guess this is an improvement :-)
[10:02] <ber> where is the shell in unity ?
[10:02] <krababbel> Zeptis: so I thought maybe there is a daemon or something for that for users.
[10:02] <lotuspsychje> carsten_db: maybe your grafix card cant handle specific codec mkv's?
[10:03] <T_H_X> ber: search for Terminal
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> howto get rid of a square corrupted mouse pointer every cold boot on precise and ati grafix card?
[10:04] <T_H_X> then drag the icon into the friggen bar
[10:04] <ber> where is the f·$% shell please tell me
[10:04] <Zeptis> or just type console
[10:04] <Zeptis> it's bash, but doesn't respond to that
[10:04] <blackshirt> lotuspsychje, your mouse?
[10:05] <Zeptis> lolbuntu
[10:05] <ber> do not work
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> blackshirt:yes mate
[10:05] <carsten_db> might be, afaik it's a AMD Radeon HD 6310
[10:05] <ber> i miss 10.4 lts
[10:05] <blackshirt> unusual
[10:06] <Zeptis> I miss being able to switch to user level 2 and still have support for features, ber.
[10:07] <wan26> ber , tried ctrl+alt+t ?
[10:07] <ber> alt + f2 dont work
[10:08] <Zeptis> ctrl+alt+f1
[10:08] <ber> wan26 you are my new idol
[10:08] <Zeptis> !nounity
[10:08] <ber> tnks!!!!
[10:09] <wan26> np... if thats what you were actually after
[10:09] <Zeptis> well, time to download some ISOs and move to less RAM intensive pastures, I guess.
[10:09] <DarkStar1> Hi all. I just connected a monitor to my machine. which has an nVidia GPU. After restart all seems fine except when I launched netbeans. The window is opened but it seems to be opened out of view
[10:09] <Zeptis> bye #ubuntu
[10:09] <DarkStar1> how can I bring all windows back into view
[10:10] <ber> bye  see you !! tnks a lot!!
[10:11] <carsten_db> doesn't meteorite have a package yet?

[10:12] <An_Ony_Moose> I've written a little (ugly) script to solve my shotwell problem. Anyone interested/where should I put it?
[10:12] <DarkStar1> Anyone?
[10:13] <ThinkT510> An_Ony_Moose: if you want to share it put it in a pastebin
[10:13] <An_Ony_Moose> MaMaD: first of all, please try typing normally. Secondly, you probably changed your desktop theme and it has nothing to do with jupiter.
[10:13] <d1rkp1tt> Hi All, I been using Ubuntu since 8.04, but I am having some fun with 11.04.... Just cant get VNC to work. Have tried the default vino, tightvncserver, x11vnc, vnc4server...  is it just me, or is something wrong here?
[10:13] <d1rkp1tt> Sorry I mean 11.10
[10:13] <An_Ony_Moose> ThinkT510: I just want to put it somewhere for the record in case anyone should need it in the future - preferably in a place that's easy to find, which makes a pastebin suboptimal
[10:14] <compdoc> d1rkp1tt, do you install qemu-kvm? it can conflict
[10:14] <ThinkT510> An_Ony_Moose: put it in a pastebin and make a ubuntu forum post, link to the pastebin from there
[10:14] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:this morning a big surprise, the square mouse pointer again on cold boot...
[10:15] <An_Ony_Moose> ThinkT510: will do. Thanks
[10:15] <ThinkT510> An_Ony_Moose: no worries :)
[10:15] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: what hardware did you say you had again?
[10:15] <wan26> cartsten_db something similar does have a package, sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
[10:16] <d1rkp1tt>  no idea what qemu-kvm is, I dont think so.
[10:16] <wan26> id check the dev website first though
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ati x800 grafix card, now on precise 12.04.1
[10:16] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: is that an old ati or a new ati?
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:an older card yes
[10:18] <d1rkp1tt> I lied I am on 12.04
[10:18] <wan26> i mean carsten_db *
[10:18] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: what graphics driver are you using?
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:howto check again
[10:18] <carsten_db> wan26: thanks :-)
[10:18] <hay> hi all... are ubuntu servers down or is it just me? Cannot access www.ubuntu.com and repositories...
[10:18] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: lsmod
[10:19] <ssta> hay: www.ubuntu.com works for me
[10:20] <MaMaD> I would like to start Jupiter in  Max Performance mode but it always start in  Power saving Mode .  Any way to do it?
[10:20] <compdoc> d1rkp1tt, I use mainly vnc4server, but that requires some setup. Theres a script that goes into /etc/init.d/ that I had to create from examples on the web
[10:21] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169586/
[10:21] <d1rkp1tt> compdoc, vnc4server has been good for me as well, but just gives me grey screen with terminal on 12.04
[10:21] <d1rkp1tt> I am using it on another ubunut system perfectly
[10:21] <d1rkp1tt> Older release
[10:22] <compdoc> d1rkp1tt, sounds like your xstart script needs work - I can show you one. let me pastebin it
[10:22] <d1rkp1tt> Ive tried to comment out different lines
[10:23] <d1rkp1tt> compdoc, Thanks
[10:23] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: your using the open source radeon driver, i'm using the same on on my revo just fine

[10:24] <phil> hello ppl... a question: i am running 12.04 for the first time and noticed that the update-manager and the apt-get update show different packages for installing. The apt, actually, shows none while the update manager 38 (and actually quite useful packages from what i can see).. anyone knows why?
[10:25] <Anubis>  can anyone tell me a good free dynamic dns service ?
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169593/
[10:25] <generalsnus> Planetary Annihilation(RTS) Game devs adding Linux support.. looks like a nice game  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts
[10:26] <hoshi411> anyone know of a decent spec tablet that actually has the audio working with ubuntu?
[10:26] <hoshi411> can even run gnome-shell?
[10:26] <compdoc> phil, the update-manager often shows packages even after theyve been installed if I use apt
[10:26] <hoshi411> 8 or so hours battery life
[10:27] <hay> ssts, doesn't work from any of our servers on different ISPs... could be some routing issue in Slovenia.
[10:28] <phil> compdoc: ok.. i can understand that, but even if the laptop was just turned on? I mean, i didnt do an update through apt and then checked the manager... The manager just came up, and then i checked the apt and saw the difference.
[10:29] <compdoc> phil, guess its possible that something else is wrong, but in package-manager, what happens if you click the Check button, to force it to check again?
[10:29] <kunn> hay: same problem in estonia
[10:29] <phil> compdoc: shows the same packages ...
[10:30] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: can't see anything that sticks out there (although i must admit i'm not sure what i'd be looking for)
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:got a bunch of syslog drm radeon lines too, but not sure if its releveant neither
[10:31] <compdoc> phil, and if you type sudo ap-get update, and then sudo apt-get upgrade, it shows different packages? apt often shows dependencies right away. The package-manager doesnt show dependencies until you click install
[10:31] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: lets see
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:ok holdon
[10:32] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169602/
[10:34] <phil> compdoc: the upgrade shows no package for installation, only a few packages held back, much less of course than what the update manager shows
[10:34] <d1rkp1tt> compdoc, one line fixed it
[10:34] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: looks like the normal loading procedure to me
[10:34] <d1rkp1tt> /usr/bin/gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d &
[10:34] <d1rkp1tt> compdoc, Thanks, that was really bugging me
[10:35] <compdoc> phil, to install the held back packages, I use apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: yeah thought so too, isnt there a place where to check for mouse? (if its a mouse problem)
[10:35] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: i honestly can't see how it could be a mouse problem
[10:36] <compdoc> d1rkp1tt, if you search for ubuntu-2d, you can see all the sessions your desktop supports. that lets you try the others in the folder
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: so you think its grafix card/driver related?
[10:36] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: the way your cursor is displayed on the screen is certainly graphics related
[10:36] <user_> Any one knows how to boot to single user mode using w.ubi?
[10:36] <compdoc> d1rkp1tt, but I think ubuntu-2d.session is the best
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: its already corrupted before i login to unity (at login screen)
[10:38] <d1rkp1tt> Thanks
[10:38] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: the login screen requires X and thus graphics to be running
[10:39] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: what about X restarting would that help?
[10:39] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: i have no idea sorry, you did say after a warm restart the problem goes away
[10:40] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: yes, if i just reboot it vanish lol, cold boot in the morning corrupt mouse again
[10:40] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: that leads me to think it may be related to some sort of buffer or cache being emptied
[10:41] <vividreality> Hello, I am trying to install flash player but it says flash player installer has unmet dependencies, that' s all. What does this mean?
[10:41] <szal> define 'it'
[10:41] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: theres one bug like this, and the guy thinks its bios setting of video ram memory, but i got this issue on an older laptop without bios settings too
[10:41] <gry> szal++
[10:41] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: but at this point i'm guessing and wouldn't know how to troubleshoot further
[10:42] <evvsko> what
[10:42] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: well tnx for your time anyway mate
[10:42] <vividreality> I get an error in Ubuntu software center, szal.
[10:42] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: that sounds plausable, the bios setting about video ram
[10:43] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: maybe the ram isn't cleared on shutdown so when you next cold boot you get that curruption
[10:43] <evvsko> me too
[10:43] <phaidros> using network manager with vpn, it automagically uses dnsmasq on localhost for the remote (vpn) dns server. works for e.g. firefox, but not in the terminal. any hints what the reason might be?
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: how would one clear ram before shutdown?
[10:44] <szal> vividreality: try from the commandline for a change -> sudo apt-get install flashplayer-installer <- (if that is the correct pkg name; if not, please substitute accordingly)
[10:45] <szal> vividreality: and precede that with a 'sudo apt-get update', just in case
[10:45] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: what sort of bios settings do you have relating to your graphics card?
[10:46] <hay> which server should be used for sources.list in case even our Slovenian mirror (sl.archive.ubuntu.com) isn't accessible? It is also strange to me that this hostname resolves to some UK IP address... is this intended?
[10:46] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i got same mouse problem on a laptop without bios settings for video ram, just boot options..so i doubt really its a bios setting
[10:46] <gordonjcp> hay: just because it's geographically closer, doesn't mean it's a better choice
[10:46] <szal> hay: try one in the geographical vicinity (e.g. at.archive.ubuntu.com)

[10:48] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: does the other laptop have the same graphics card?
[10:48] <drag0nius> well i cant run shellinabox on https

[10:48] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i also read a guy thats adds a mouse fix line to xorg conf, but here i cant find any xorg conf file

[10:49] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: there isn't a xorg.conf file by default
[10:49] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: what line did he add?
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: lemme check that
[10:49] <szal> error4o4: any reason to do so?
[10:49] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: what card does the other one have?
[10:50] <fellipe> hi, what's the apt command to forget a package wich is pending to be reinstalled?

[10:50] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: when was the last time you checked for bios updates for both machines?
[10:50] <szal> error4o4: sounds to me like an ntp client resetting the time
[10:50] <error4o4> szal: yea might be, researchingnow
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:desktop ati x800, laptop some old ati mobile, both older systems, no bios upgrade ever lol

[10:55] <no_gravity> Good Morning from Hamburg! Sometimes when I want to reboot (by running reboot as root) the system just hangs forever. Probably because some sshfs mount that is confused. How do I rebbot anyway?
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: so if precise has no xorg.conf by default, how can one see settings somewhere?
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> no_gravity: any errors on F1 after reboot?
[10:56] <chroot> hi, guys, why how to install kvm in ubuntu 12.04?
[10:57] <no_gravity> lotuspsychje: what do you mean with "erros on f1"?
[10:57] <chroot> i used it sometime ago, but in 12.04, it says the kvm module or kvm package is not installed, the vm will perform pooly
[10:57] <lotuspsychje> no_gravity: after reboot or shutdown, there's an ubuntu loading screen, if pressing F1 you see txt info on the shutdown..maybe thats revealing something?
[10:58] <compdoc> chroot:  sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm virt-manager
[10:58] <compdoc> if you like  virt-manager
[10:59] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: you could try this to generate a xorg.conf file which we can edit: sudo aticonfig --initial -f
[10:59] <chroot> yeah, it have done that
[10:59] <evvsko> quit
[10:59] <chroot> but i got some warnings when creat vm use virt-manager
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: sudo: aticonfig: command not found
[11:00] <compdoc> phaidros, /etc/resolv.conf isnt a file anymore, its a link, but if you: cat /etc/resolv.conf   it should have your dns servers listed
[11:00] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: ah well that answers that, it must be part of the fglrx driver
[11:01] <compdoc> chroot, what warnings?
[11:01] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: give me a few mins
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ok tnx mate
[11:02] <chroot> from virt-manager
[11:03] <compdoc> that tells me a lot
[11:03] <chroot> it says: Warning: kvm is not available, this may mean the kvm package not installed or kvm kernel modules is not loaded
[11:04] <phaidros> compdoc: resolv.conf show <IP_ADDRESS>, fine. locally dnsmasq listens and has via network-manager the local nameserver plus the vpn nameserver configured. the strange (read: wrong!) phenomenon is, that e.g. firefox is able to solve a local domain for the vpn, shell (terminal) isn't!
[11:04] <phaidros> compdoc: so I am looking for the difference in name resolution in terminal vs. e.g. firefox
[11:05] <phaidros> compdoc: in my reality, bash *should* use /etc/resolv.conf. but somehow doesnt
[11:06] <phaidros> but I am not sure of it. because dig @localhost domain.local yields nothing. tho, firefox can access http://domain.local (cache freshly emptied)
[11:06] <compdoc> the /etc/resolv.conf should have your dns server listed. at least mine does. and no loopback at all
[11:07] <phaidros> compdoc: nope. network-manager uses dnsmasq for vpn nameservers, at least here ..
[11:08] <phaidros> compdoc: as I read this is standard behaviour since 12.04
[11:08] <ssta> compdoc: /etc/hosts will be checked first usually
[11:08] <phaidros> ssta: what does that cahnge?
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: this guys has same kinda corrupted lines
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1543352
[11:09] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: copy and paste this into a new xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169634/
[11:09] <phaidros> ok, what is the general difference between e.g. firefox and bash in a terminal in name resolution?
[11:10] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: then copy the xorg.conf to /etc/X11/
[11:10] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: then restart
[11:10] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ok lemme try
[11:11] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: actually, come to think of it you'd better power off and then cold boot
[11:11] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:ok
[11:12] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: if this doesn't work you can delete the xorg.conf file and restart
[11:12] <Briareos1> anyone know how to load an Alternate ISO in GRUB2? the settings for Desktop variant fail if used for the Alternate one
[11:12] <geirha> phaidros: What's the command that fails?
[11:12] <xorox90> does any one know what partition(like.. /dev/sda1 sdb)  should I install grub2 on gpt disk in ubuntu installing process?
[11:13] <cfhowlett> xorox90: depends on your setup.  single disk, single OS??
[11:13] <geirha> phaidros: If you mean the dig-command, that has nothing to do with bash
[11:13] <xorox90> cfhowlett> i want to multi boot with win 7
[11:13] <cfhowlett> xorox90: wait on GPT disk?  Hackintosh or something like that?
[11:13] <xorox90> cfhowlett> and I have a one physical disk
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ok cross your fingaz :p
[11:14] <cfhowlett> xorox90: normally, win7 single os disks are mbr not gpt.  does ubuntu SEE the windows partitions?
[11:14] <phaidros> geirha: there is a host in the vpn network, there is a dns server for that internal hosts, that dns server is set in dnsmasq when connecting via network-manager to the vpn. firefox can access host.vpn. shell can't. (e.g. dig host.vpn yields nothing, dig @vpnnameserverIP host.vpn works. tho firefox does seem to resolve correctly)
[11:14] <xorox90> cfhowlett> yes, in ubuntu installing process , it can see windows partiton and efi partition...
[11:15] <cfhowlett> xorox90: normally, install grub to /dev/sda
[11:15] <xorox90> cfhowlett> thx!
[11:15] <phaidros> geirha: so, my question is, why does that dnsmasq setup (meanwhile default) work for firefox and *not* for bash (ping, dig, ssh)
[11:15] <cfhowlett> xorox90: be safe, have fun
[11:15] <evvsko> networking restart
[11:16] <phaidros> geirha: obvious workaround is to put that vpn nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, *but* that file is generated, which doesnt make that workaround a solution.
[11:16] <phaidros> geirha: any ideas?
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:seems like it booted normally without mouse corrupted, but ill be sure tomorrow morning
[11:17] <aLeSD__> I have a : AMD Radeon HD 6600M Series but I see that Xorg load i915 module
[11:17] <aLeSD__> so I am using Unity 2d
[11:17] <aLeSD__> why ?
[11:17] <aLeSD__> I installed the propetary drivers to
[11:17] <geirha> phaidros: ping, dig, and ssh all do their own name resolution, bash is not involved other than execing them
[11:18] <aLeSD__> ops
[11:18] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: did you cold boot? or warm restart?
[11:18] <aLeSD__> I was wrong : fglrx driver is loaded : but I am running on unity 2d ... why ?
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: cold boot yes
[11:19] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: sweet
[11:19] <kandinski> can you have a defaultdict with a factory function that's aware of thekey you were trying to access?
[11:19] <ThinkT510> !yay | lotus
[11:19] <phaidros> geirha: ok. what could be a useful explanation for firefox being able to resolve via dnsmasq, shell tools cant?
[11:19] <ThinkT510> !yay | lotuspsychje
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i hope it stays like this tomorrow
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: lol tnx anyway for support
[11:20] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: if it does indeed work in the morning too then make sure you keep a copy of the xorg.conf
[11:20] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i will, also for other systems i put ubuntu with same issue
[11:21] <geirha> phaidros: That I do not know. Firefox appears to be the odd one out, doing some additional magic. ##networking might have some ideas.
[11:21] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: i'm not sure if the pcibus might need changing on other systems though
[11:22] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ok, so if xorg.conf isnt default on precise, where could one check sort a like settings?
[11:23] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: what replaces xorg.conf?
[11:23] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: i don't know, ive never needed to, its all done dynamically
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> !xorgconf > lotuspsychje
[11:23] <phaidros> geirha: thx
[11:23] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: could you paste your lspci please, i'd like to check something
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169647/
[11:25] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: ahh, thanks, see the numbers before the vga there, that tells you what the pcibus should be in xorg.conf
[11:26] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ok tnx
[11:27] <jgcampbell300> i need a sub network for an experament ... can i use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> on the same network to seperate some computers ?
[11:27] <phaidros> geirha: btw, chromium works as well. strnage foobar :/
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510:lemme try another cold boot
[11:27] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: no worries, i learned while helping too, so thanks to you too
[11:27] <jgcampbell300> or do i need to change the subnet on both sides
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: same spirit here mate
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> brb
[11:28] <surt> Hi I've overclocked my system to 4.0ghz but linux is showing 2.67 max. This is wrong, how do I fix it please?
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: second cold boot also without problems
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ill let you know for sure tomorrow
[11:31] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: is that after switching off from the socket too?
[11:31] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: what do you mean?
[11:32] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: the switch plugged into the wall
[11:33] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: also, you got a pretty good boot time
[11:33] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i sudo halt, then pressed the button to cold boot, if thats what you mean
[11:33] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ssd inside on precise 64bit :p
[11:33] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: when you go to bed do you switch the computer off at the plug?
[11:34] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: no never
[11:35] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: sounds like a problem solved then
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: always software halt, and button boot
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i really hope so :p
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: got that issue for long time now, even on other versions
[11:35] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: all ati?
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: yes
[11:36] <szal> jgcampbell300: what exactly are you up to?
[11:37] <drag0nius> anyone successfully run shellinabox on 12.04?
[11:37] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: if it solved by the morning ill report a bug and solve with your solution if thats ok for you
[11:37] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: i only recently bought a revo with ati graphics in it, no problems yet, i was rather surprised that the open source drivers supported compiz too
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> find shellinabox
[11:37] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: sure
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> !find shellinabox
[11:38] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: i got compiz running flawless here, wobbly windows and stuf :p
[11:38] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: oh, i'm practically stock unity here
[11:38] <guntars> disconect
[11:38] <drag0nius> http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ this
[11:39] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: messing with ccsm can easily break unity
[11:39] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: got no issues here with unity and ccsm, just a reboot needed sometimes after enabling cubes or some
[11:39] <Sidewinder1> guntars, try /part
[11:40] <Sidewinder1> oops, he/she got it,. :(
[11:40] <Slart> hello, is anyone else having problems accessing ubuntu.com at the moment? It just times out for me
[11:41] <iceroot> Slart: ŵorking fine here
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: that old ati card cost me like 500$ back in the days, so wobbly windows isnt too much luxury lol
[11:42] <Slart> iceroot: hmm.. odd.. the rest of the internet seems to be working.. just ubuntu.com.. well well. Thanks.
[11:42] <darkapex> Slart: Fine Here too!
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: ill let you know if its fixxed for good tomorrow, tnx again for your great support!
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> out for now
[11:44] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: ok, have fun

[11:49] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:50] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj: greetings
[11:52] <BluesKaj> hi cfhowlett
[11:52] <kandinski> so, __missing__ in defaultdicts is readonly... how can I make a defaultdict whose factory function is aware of the key that was passed on to __getitem__?
[11:53] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj: what's the happening, blueskaj??
[11:53] <geirha> kandinski: Probably better to ask that in #python ...?
[11:55] <Dragonfly> Hi there guys, can anybody help me with this: I have a broadcom wireless card but ubuntu treats it as an ethernet card, I cant see any wireless network here.
[11:55] <blackshirt> hello
[11:55] <blackshirt> can someone help me
[11:55] <wica> hoi
[11:56] <cfhowlett> !ask|blackshirt: greetings
[11:56] <cfhowlett> wica: greetings
[11:56] <kandinski> geirha: thanks :>
[11:56] <Wizard> Hi wica.
[11:56] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: that is the weirdest thing I've heard of on ubuntu networking...
[11:56] <wica> cfhowlett: :)
[11:56] <cfhowlett> wica: state your issue
[11:56] <wica> :)
[11:56] <wica> cfhowlett: No issue.
[11:57] <wica> Justing hanging out
[11:57] <wica> and maybe help somebody
[11:57] <wica> s/Justing/Just/
[11:57] <cfhowlett> wica: understood.  welcome.
[11:57] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett, yes this is weird. I think that might be a problem with drivers or something but I am not sure about it.
[11:58] <wica> Dragonfly: It is a PCI device?
[11:59] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: wish I could help.  sorry, but my broadcom experience is limited to getting wifi up and running.
[11:59] <wica> Dragonfly: which type is the nic?
[12:00] <laurent_> pingoin
[12:02] <Dragonfly> wica, here is lspci for network cards: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[12:02] <|Frederik> Is there some change in 12.10 kernel packages which prevent them from running correctly on 12.0.4? When I boot them, network does not come up and usb keyboard does not work.
[12:02] <Dragonfly> but ifconfig shows that it is an ethernet card eth1
[12:02] <Dragonfly> wica, but ifconfig shows that it is an ethernet card eth1
[12:02] <fidel> !ubuntu+1 > |Frederik
[12:03] <wica> Dragonfly: Can you do "rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" and then reboot the computer?
[12:04] <wica> That file wil be recreated on boot time
[12:04] <Dragonfly> wica, Its the same computer I am currently working on. I'll just give it a try and let you know after rebooting.
[12:04] <wica> Dragonfly: Thnx
[12:05] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: love to know if this works...
[12:05] <wica> me 2, but seen strange things with udev
[12:10] <pale3> "/set awl_separator \ "
[12:11] <wica> Dragonfly has a slow computer?
[12:11] <Aleksander> Hello - how can I change my GRUB2 configuration partition? I have two systems installed with GRUB2 config files, and I'd like to use Arch, not Ubuntu one, but have no idea how to change that in options
[12:16] <Dragonfly> wica: I tried removing the rules file and reboot but the problem is still there
[12:16] <TONI_LP> hola??
[12:16] <cfhowlett> !es|TONI_LP:
[12:16] <TONI_LP> ok
[12:17] <Dragonfly> wica : I tried patching the negative zero channel problem on aircrack suit a couple days ago, can it be a problem by any chance ?
[12:17] <tdn> Suddenly, the sound stopped working in XBMC. I use 2:11.0~git20120423 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  Sound has been working just fine for months. I have tested that the sound DOES work on this machine by quitting xbmc and playing something with vlc instead. I have pastebin the debug log on http://p.adora.dk/P2499.html
[12:17] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: um, yeah, quite possibly related...
[12:18] <george> question: does the regular ubuntu package allow you to not install Unity during the installation or should I go with the minimal CD?
[12:19] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Should I just remove the wireless kernel ? is there a particular rollback method for it ? I think that has messed with a lot of modules on my system so I am a little concerned about it
[12:19] <george> anyone?
[12:19] <coellobranco> saludos
[12:19] <fidel> george: afaik the regular cd just installs unity - so consider using the minimal one
[12:19] <cfhowlett> !it|coellobranco:
[12:19] <fidel> or just clean up afterwards
[12:20] <george> fidel: alright that's what I'll do, do I lose out on anything else by using the minimal vs. the regular image?
[12:20] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: sorry, man, mixing aircrack into the mix is way over my paygrade.  Were it me, I'd clean install and start over, but then I don't have your skill set.  Ask in the channel for advice from someone with more experience
[12:21] <george> like will there be less packages other than the desktop not installed?
[12:21] <cfhowlett> !es|coellobranco:
[12:21] <coellobranco> sorry
[12:22] <cfhowlett> coellobranco: no harm no foul
[12:22] <fidel> george: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD/ describes the basics about the minimal cd
[12:22] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : No problem buddy I am removing the compat wireless kernel now. lets see if that help.
[12:22] <fidel> minimal cds main target in my eyes is offering a small install image
[12:22] <fidel> while alternate-iso's main focus is offering a small core-install
[12:23] <Pici> fidel: the alternate CD installs the same software as the desktop cd.
[12:23] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : I have one more problem here, all of a sudden the fan of my laptop has stopped working. Its been a couple days now I am looking for a solution. Do you have any idea ?
[12:23] <Kotak> Replace the fan?
[12:23] <fidel> Pici: yes - but you have to select packages as far as i know
[12:24] <Dragonfly> kotak : Did you respond to me ?
[12:24] <Kotak> yeah :)
[12:24] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: cleaning out of the vents usually works magic.  also, opening up the casing and dropping a few drops of lube on the main screw is similarly magical
[12:24] <fidel> Pici: which means: you end up with a setup without desktop if you dont select thi corresponding category while install or install it manually
[12:25] <Pici> fidel: I haven't done an alternate install in a while, but last time I did, it didn't prompt me for package selection.
[12:25] <Dragonfly> kotak : Thank for the suggestion but I really dont want to change it or I'd have done it.
[12:25] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Ok thanks, I'll try that too.
[12:25] <fidel> Pici: same here - havent used it for the last 2 years myself ;)
[12:25] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: good luck.
[12:25] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Thanks :)
[12:25] <fidel> thats why i pointed him to the official ubuntu docs regarding the minimal cd aswell
[12:28] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Hey that did the trick :) I removed the wireless kernel and my card is again a wireless card now :)
[12:29] <jgcampbell300> need a bit of assistance ... Failed to bring up eth0. its on ubuntu server eht0 i am trying to run maas-dhcp ... i changed the /etc/network/interfaces to static ... any suggestinos
[12:29] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Now the fan issue. here is something BTW. Do you think messing with Apparmor can cause that Fan failure ?
[12:30] <bidadieu> hi,everyone, i have a question ,can you help me ?
[12:31] <bidadieu> please .
[12:31] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Can I just rename the network interface ? I mean my wireless card name is eth1 in ifconfig, I want it to be wlan0 ? any tip ?
[12:31] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: congrats on solving it.  regarding the fan: that's hardware.  Seriously can't see how app armor in any configuration could effect fan settings.    So...
[12:31] <wica> Dragonfly: did it help?
[12:31] <cfhowlett> !ask|bidadieu:
[12:31] <Dragonfly> wica : I removed the wireless kernel and it worked out fine :)
[12:31] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: don't know if I'd do that.  The default id's usually work best...
[12:31] <wica> Dragonfly: ok
[12:32] <bidadieu> i came across a word :"forever i'll bid adieu",can you tell me what does it mean?
[12:32] <wica> strange
[12:32] <cfhowlett> bidadieu: you're asking in the wrong channel.  See if there's a #poetry out there.  this is #ubuntu support.
[12:33] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Default was wlan0 before I installed the wireless kernel, after installation it just got vanished and renamed to eth1. Now I want it back to wlan0.
[12:33] <Sidewinder1> bidadieu, adieu is similiar to good bye.
[12:34] <Dragonfly> wica : do you have any idea about renaming the network interface ?
[12:34] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: not something I can add any meaningful advice to.  Sorry.
[12:34] <Dragonfly> I want to rename eth1 back to wlan0 ?
[12:34] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : No problem, I'll try to find another way
[12:35] <Dragonfly> cfhowlett : Thank you for the help :)
[12:35] <cfhowlett> Drag0nir: best of luck.
[12:35] <cfhowlett> Dragonfly: best of luck
[12:39] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[12:39] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i connect to a remote ftp address and navigate around and crete files and such?
[12:41] <Dragonfly> Wiz_KeeD : you can give Filezilla a try\
[12:41] <Wiz_KeeD> i was thinkking maybe using a terminal or such but
[12:41] <Dragonfly> hit ftp <ip-address> in terminal and away you go :)
[12:41] <Wiz_KeeD> i tried it didn't work :))
[12:42] <Dragonfly> do you have the FTP package installed ?
[12:42] <Dragonfly> Wiz_KeeD : install it by sudo apt-get install ftp
[12:42] <py_can> I'm missing 3gb RAM out of 6gb in total! Halp!
[12:43] <py_can> where did it go to?
[12:43] <Dragonfly> py_can : are you running a 32 bit or 64 bit distro ?
[12:43] <py_can> Dragonfly: 64
[12:44] <py_can> Dragonfly: windows detects 6gb. Ubuntu 3.2
[12:44] <Wiz_KeeD> why's that py_can ?
[12:45] <Dragonfly> py_can : 64 bit should correctly detect the RAM
[12:45] <py_can> Wiz_KeeD, The mozilla monster ate my ram ? i dont know?
[12:45] <py_can> Dragonfly: yes, yet its not ;(
[12:45] <Wiz_KeeD> i mean why it detects only 3.2
[12:45] <py_can> i dont know, thats why i came here
[12:46] <Dragonfly> py_can : can you paste the output of 'uname -r' ?
[12:46] <py_can> Dragonfly: 3.2.0-23-generic
[12:47] <Dragonfly> ok, hit 'sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae'
[12:47] <Wiz_KeeD> what does that do? :D
[12:48] <py_can> ok Dragonfly
[12:48] <Dragonfly> I have generic-pie and it detect all of the 6 GB RAM on my 32 BIT machine
[12:49] <krababbel> What is a quick way to compare two directory trees if the files have the same size and name?
[12:49] <krababbel> diff seems very slow
[12:50] <py_can> Dragonfly: http://pastebin.com/9Z2LRVif
[12:50] <Slart> krababbel: diff on the outout of ls?
[12:50] <krababbel> Slart: thanks, will try that
[12:51] <Slart> krababbel: you might have to add some switches to ls to just get the names and sizes.. creation dates and such might not be interesting
[12:51] <Slart> krababbel: http://superuser.com/questions/228763/how-to-diff-file-names-in-two-directories-without-writing-to-intermediate-files
[12:51] <Dragonfly> py_can can you try "sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[12:52] <py_can> Dragonfly: looks like i got 300 updates pending, ill install them first
[12:52] <Dragonfly> py_can : after that upgrade the kernel and let us know if it detects the RAM fine. PAE should work out for upto 64GB ram
[12:53] <LostMonk> is there a way to use a verbose startup rather than the graphic?
[12:53] <py_can> Dragonfly: allright
[12:54] <Dragonfly> LostMonk : You can press up or down arrow key on boot when it shows the boot screen
[12:54] <LostMonk> no way to do it automatically?
[12:54] <Dragonfly> LostMonk : that will switch between verbose and graphical mode
[12:54] <LostMonk> ah ok
[12:54] <LostMonk> thanks
[12:56] <vividreality> I am looking for an alternative to Notepad++, is gedit nice?
[12:57] <kevin_> vividreality: i use gedit. works alright
[12:57] <vividreality> Thanks.
[12:57] <Slart> vividreality: I don't really think there is anything comparable to notepad++... there is the gnome version of vim if you are willing to take the time to learn it
[12:57] <krababbel> Slart: thanks again
[12:57] <Slart> krababbel: you're welcome
[12:58] <steven_> hello
[12:58] <vividreality> Slart, what is there to learn? I just want syntax highlighting, that' s all
[12:58] <gordonjcp> vividreality: gedit will do syntax highlighting
[12:58] <gordonjcp> vividreality: geany does, too
[12:58] <vividreality> Great.
[12:58] <Slart> vividreality: if it's just syntax highlighting then gedit will do fine
[12:58] <steven_> vim id good
[12:58] <gordonjcp> the actual component that does all the clever stuff is gtksourceview so if you look at that you can see what languages are supported
[12:59] <vividreality> Okay thanks you guys.
[12:59] <steven_> is there has good game in ubuntu?
[12:59] <Wizard> Lots.
[12:59] <gordonjcp> vividreality: just as a matter of interest, which languages are you looking for highlighting for?
[13:00] <Wizard> !best
[13:00] <Dragonfly> steven_ : Dont know about good games but playOnLinux is there for you :)
[13:00] <IBM1424> #ubuntu-hams
[13:00] <steven_> yep
[13:00] <Slart> steven_: http://www.happypenguin.org/ is a good site for gaming on linux
[13:01] <vividreality> gordonjcp, any C language, Lua is very important to me, and things like xml, yaml, etc.
[13:01] <steven_> thank you
[13:01] <vividreality> Oh and check out Desura, steven.
[13:02] <Dragonfly> steven_ That looks grean, will definitely check it out later.
[13:02] <CaptObvious> I'm having an issue with start-stop-daemon.  I'm wanting to launch a command with commandline options, but start-stop-daemon is interpreting the options as options for itself rather than the program I'm trying to launch with it.  how do I fix this?

[13:09] <Pici> caB00T: It looks like it was removed from Debian (and then Ubuntu) in 2010, details here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566579
[13:09] <lienucksfails2> general browsing website does not load
[13:10] <fidel> lienucksfails2: slow or not loading?
[13:10] <lienucksfails2> not loading slow
[13:10] <lienucksfails2> depends on website
[13:10] <fidel> lienucksfails2: not loading != slow
[13:10] <lienucksfails2> google is loading
[13:10] <lienucksfails2> www.goal.com/en not loading

[13:15] <lienucksfails2> i thought google dns would solve the problem but err fail
[13:16] <smya> Can you pls help me
[13:16] <lienucksfails2> i have tried debian based distro like siduction and aptosid it is working fine windows also no problem so i cannot blame my isp

[13:17] <krababbel> Hi, I accidentally formatted an ext4 partition to ntfs. Can I recover the files?
[13:17] <vinod_> can any1 temme what can be used as pagemaker in ubuntu
[13:17] <k1l> vicky: you mean encryption?
[13:17] <lienucksfails2> i called my isp they say to get help from ubuntu my line is fine
[13:17] <vicky> to avoid others to view / access that folder
[13:18] <k1l> vicky: then just set the rights to only your account
[13:18] <phil> vicky: you mean remotely, when someone accesses your machine?
[13:18] <lienucksfails2> could this be a kernel issue
[13:18] <smya> Just to make it clear, I have pasted the error here. http://pastebin.com/z56S4eUq  pls help me.
[13:19] <phil> vicky: this is just standard folder permission set up .... sudo chown <numbers> <folder_name>
[13:19] <vicky> no my account can be used by many others
[13:19] <phil> vicky: aaah, and creating accounts for others is not possible?
[13:20] <vicky> no..
[13:20] <k1l> vicky: then try encryption
[13:20] <phil> vicky: or you can create one account for all the others ...
[13:20] <rgms> Slart, *.ubuntu.com not working for me either, also launchpad.net

[13:21] <jgcampbell300> i need some help ... i installed maas-dhcp and it changed my dns up on the server i cant apt-get update now ... i can ping ip addresses on the net but cant ping www.whatever.com ... any ideas
[13:21] <vicky> @ phil. ok
[13:21] <lousygarua> In gnome3 when you click the meta key and type a few letters, e.g. 'fir' for 'firefox', and then hit return - it will switch to the existing firefox window instead of opening a new one. Is it possible to do so on unity as well? 12.04
[13:22] <kevin_> jgcampbell300: edit /etc/resolv.conf
[13:23] <BalthaTczar> could someone explain me, i've installed MAME and am trying to copy roms to usr/local/share/games/mame/roms
[13:23] <BalthaTczar> but permission is denied
[13:23] <intent> does anybody use shazam?
[13:24] <BalthaTczar> how can i change this and have permission to copy ?
[13:24] <trapni> hey, I just did `apt-get source openssh-server` to get the sources of it, patched it with the LDAP-ssh-publickey patch, and now would like to rebuild it as a .deb file, but can't find a way to do so? any ideas?
[13:24] <kevin_> BalthaTczar: look at the permissions necessary to put files in that directory. you might need to be in a 'games' group or such.
[13:25] <root> alex50
[13:25] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | trapni "cheap" option
[13:25] <BalthaTczar> kevin_, it says root is the owner and i am not owner so i cannot change permissions
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> ThinkT510: didnt work mate :p, time waiting cold boot and square mouse is back
[13:26] <kevin_> BalthaTczar: what about the group?
[13:26] <ThinkT510> lotuspsychje: oh
[13:26] <BalthaTczar> kevin_, group is staff
[13:26] <kevin_> BalthaTczar: that's a weird group. well you can use 'sudo' to perform commands as root.
[13:28] <BalthaTczar> kevin_, ah right you also know how i can terminate an application ?
[13:29] <BalthaTczar> you know by terminating the process
[13:29] <kevin_> BalthaTczar: check out kill, pkill, or xkill
[13:29] <kevin_> BalthaTczar: kill is for a process id, pkill is for a process name, and xkill is for a process which has a window open in x
[13:30] <shock-phone> Hello
[13:31] <jgcampbell300> i need some help ... i installed maas-dhcp and it changed my dns up on the server i cant apt-get update now ... i can ping ip addresses on the net but cant ping www.whatever.com ... any ideas

[13:48] <Alpha-Omega> Ibm1234 put it in your .bash
[13:48] <Alpha-Omega> or .bashrc
[13:48] <bobweaver> IBM1234,  put it in rc
[13:48] <deadmund> IBM1234: use update-rc
[13:48] <fidel> IBM1234: is cron @reboot an option?

[13:50] <geirha> Alpha-Omega, IBM1234: That won't run it at boot.
[13:50] <IBM1234> let me check
[13:50] <Alpha-Omega> geirha well itll load when he logs in
[13:51] <Alpha-Omega> i guess ure right
[13:51] <fidel> IBM1234: try to point out if you are really talking about 'on boot' or on 'user-login' or something else ;)
[13:51] <geirha> Alpha-Omega: Only if he logs in at the console or via ssh
[13:51] <bobweaver> IBM1234,  put in RC.whatever  or make into a service (/etc/init.d/)
[13:51] <ubuntu_noob> hello... I'm really kind of new at this... i was wondering if anybody could shed some light for me.  I opened my Disk Usage Analyzer and it says "Total filesystem capacity: 70.3 GB (used 45.2 GB available: 25.1 GB)" But under my folders, my root says the size is only 5 GB.... am I missing something here?
[13:51] <geirha> Alpha-Omega: Plus it will be run every time he opens a terminal
[13:51] <Alpha-Omega> geirha no even if he logs in regularly i thin its .bashrc itll run
[13:51] <Alpha-Omega> yep ure right about that
[13:52] <craigbass1976> is wine still the only way ot run itunes?
[13:52] <IBM1234> I would like on boot if not every time a user logs in... it is for a firewall
[13:52] <Alpha-Omega> im kind of new so u guys help :)
[13:52] <deadmund> craigbass1976: Yes.  Until apple open sources itunes
[13:52] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu_noob:unfoald + on the folders to see content
[13:53] <deadmund> craigbass1976: or, I supposed, re-writes a linux version!
[13:53] <craigbass1976> deadmund, maybe if we all hold our breath together...
[13:53] <deadmund> craigbass1976: maybe just use a different music player? :P
[13:53] <geirha> craigbass1976. deadmund: Oh, itunes works with wine now?
[13:53] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu_noob: you can also install ubuntu tweak to clean up your system from unwanted files
[13:53] <deadmund> geirha: I used it once several years ago, it 'worked'
[13:54] <ubuntu_noob> lotuspsychje: / shows 5 gb, the largest subdir is /usr which is 3 gb, next is /var which is 1.1 gb. on a fresh install, even with a heavy theme, it shouldn't be this much should it? and I still dont know why it says I've used 45.2 gb

[13:59] <IBM1234> If I Place a script file into ...etc/init.d/        and then do an update will this cause that script to run as a service everytime the computer turns on?
[14:00] <Slart> lotuspsychje: talking to me and rgms? we're trying to figure out why ubuntu.com isn't working for some users
[14:00] <rigo> someone said here that this is b ecause of the corporate network what i use. and because of proxy. but no.

[14:22] <kitty_> please help me create a limited user account in ubuntu 12.04
[14:23] <JoshuaP> kitty_, limited how?
[14:24] <F1CCC> Bjr a tous !! Je suis nouveau ici et un peut perdu !!!  aie aie
[14:24] <lotuspsychje> !fr | F1CCC
[14:25] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, hi. i need to create a new user that must prompt for the root password everytime the SUDO command is used.
[14:25] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, please help.
[14:25] <F1CCC> ok merci pour l'info bien noté
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> !bot | IBM1234
[14:26] <Sidewinder1> IBM1234, I hope that helps. ;-)
[14:26] <JoshuaP> kitty_, why don't you just deny sudo access to the user?
[14:27] <Raydiation> does enigmail (thunderbird plugin) also encrypt attachements like pdfs when you activate encryption?
[14:27] <JoshuaP> kitty_, if the user knows the root password, but can't use sudo, there is no point in even trying to bypass the userpassword.
[14:27] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, i am absolutely new to linux. can you please guide me  how can i do that?
[14:28] <erik49_> anyone know how to view/manage all active remote desktop (xrdp) sessions?
[14:28] <JoshuaP> kitty_, when you add the user, make sure that user is without the group called "sudo"
[14:28] <erik49_> or just how to get remmina to resume instead of starting new sessions \=
[14:28] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, can you guide me how to do it the command-line way please?
[14:29] <JoshuaP> erik49_, What do you mean?
[14:29] <lotuspsychje> kitty_: man chmod
[14:29] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, i know i have to use adduser command. but not any more.
[14:29] <JoshuaP> kitty_, when you open the terminal, type adduser.
[14:29] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, done
[14:30] <JoshuaP> It will ask you for user credentials.
[14:30] <kitty_> JoshuaP__, adduser kitty
[14:30] <JoshuaP> Type all of that in, but when you come up to groups, for primary group, type "users" so the user is in the group "users".
[14:31] <jwhisnant> I am using 12.04 and bash seems to send the character 'x' to nowhere; it seems to be a user problem (created a test user, and it works ok)
[14:31] <JoshuaP> For secondary group(s), you don't have to put anything.
[14:31] <Owner> what is the source of all the worlds suckage
[14:32] <jwhisnant> Any ideas as to where to look for the problem, or the easiest way to set all the bash options to a sane default?
[14:32] <JoshuaP> kitty_, then the user is without use of the sudo command and if they try to sudo, the user will be reported by the system and denied access for use of the sudo command.
[14:32] <Owner> woops wrong channel
[14:32] <JoshuaP> Owner, ya think?
[14:33] <|Anthony|> i installed fedora in a separate partition last night, and now i'd like to uninstall it. During the install, it obviously installed it's own grub. What do i need to do to get get it back to the reliable ubuntu set up?
[14:33] <JoshuaP> jwhisnant, what do you mean when you say bash sends 'x' nowhere?
[14:33] <JoshuaP> |Anthony|, Do you have ubuntu on a partition?
[14:34] <|Anthony|> indeed JoshuaP
[14:34] <|Anthony|> in a primary no less
[14:34] <|Anthony|> just reinstall GRUB from ubuntu?
[14:34] <JoshuaP> |Anthony|, well which grub is in /boot?
[14:35] <|Anthony|> JoshuaP, they have there own /boot. It's bad to have different distros share /boot
[14:35] <|Anthony|> i learned that the hard way
[14:36] <JoshuaP> |Anthony|, which grub loads first?
[14:40] <drag0nius> what was iptables entries file location?
[14:40] <jwhisnant> JoshuaP: I mean gooduser (echo 'xyz' --> xyz), baduser (echo 'yz' --> yz) - baduser typed the x, wasnt echoed; seen in konsole (desktop) and ssh connection; I am using virtualbox, in case the problem might somehow be there for the "default" user
[14:42] <Alpha-Omega> I just accidently added a master boot record to a hard drive that only had files on it, it was for storage, now when I do sudo fdisk -l, it doesn't show up, did I destroy it or something?
[14:42] <Alpha-Omega> the ubuntu install asked me to add to the hard drive and it ended up adding the master boot record to my hard drive that had only files on it
[14:43] <JoshuaP> jwhisnant, I've known of KDE having problems with the first user. I've always had to create another user and delete the first.
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | Alpha-Omega
[14:43] <Alpha-Omega> I knew I should've unpligged it :(
[14:44] <kubanc> where do i change port for <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:44] <jwhisnant> JoshuaP: ah - I am using KDE, so maybe that is my problem, thanks
[14:44] <JoshuaP> drag0nius, /etc/bash_completion.d/iptables
[14:44] <kubanc> where do i change port for vsftpd
[14:44] <Alpha-Omega> it's not showing up in testdisk
[14:45] <JoshuaP> jwhisnant, :)
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: you can fix mbr with testdisk
[14:45] <|Anthony|> a simple grub-install /dev/sda did it for me
[14:45] <|Anthony|> good. no more fedora
[14:45] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: but if the drive isn't showing up in testdisk
[14:45] <Alpha-Omega> even though it's plugged in?
[14:46] <JoshuaP> kubanc, what port are you trying to open?
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: thats odd indeed, is it ntfs?
[14:46] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: yes it is
[14:46] <Guest11215> I do have a serious issue. When booting to LiveCD environment desktop, I can use everything (free radeon drivers too, which give me gaming power for assault cube fluidly at fixed 60fps - HD6850) but after installation, it boots into a blank screen. I see background light on screen is on, but only see a very grey-blue like colored screen without any pointers and other desktop objects :/
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> !ntfs | Alpha-Omega
[14:46] <mneptok> kubanc: are you using FTP because you need anonymous access?
[14:46] <hq_> hello
[14:46] <ppat> hello
[14:46] <hq_> nice to meet you
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: you installed ntfs-3g?
[14:46] <JoshuaP> |Anthony|, is it just no fedora boot option, or is fedora completely gone? You could check and clear that with GParted
[14:47] <Alpha-Omega> and ubuntu decided to add the mbr to that drive as default instead of the one I had root installed to lol
[14:47] <Slendertron> Ok, I need assistance adding a new screen resolution.
[14:47] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: that might just do it :P
[14:47] <|Anthony|> JoshuaP, already done
[14:47] <|Anthony|> ;-)
[14:47] <Slendertron> There is no xorg.conf
[14:47] <Slendertron> And xrandr can't determine screen gamma
[14:47] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: it says ntfs-3g is the newest
[14:47] <|Anthony|> good ridden
[14:48] <JoshuaP> kubanc, you can open the port with the route settings.
[14:48]  * mneptok whispers "riddance"
[14:48] <JoshuaP> kubanc, With vsftpd, being sftp, I'd probably open up the SSH port, 22.
[14:48] <mneptok> kubanc: you really should not be using FTP unless you *have* to have anonymous access.
[14:48] <JoshuaP> |Anthony|, well done.
[14:48] <mneptok> JoshuaP: vsftpd is FTP.
[14:48] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: try ntfs from software centre
[14:48] <|Anthony|> lol
[14:49] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: so fdisk wouldn't recognize it if I don't have this installed? let me try it
[14:49] <|Anthony|> JoshuaP, only reason i'm testing it is for the multiseat functionality
[14:49] <|Anthony|> but if i could get the same net result with ubuntu i'd be a happy boy
[14:49] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: I'm on kde, there's nothing called ntfs in muon
[14:50] <albech> does evolution mail client support imap tagging, similar to what thunderbird does, when setting the imap flags?
[14:50] <JoshuaP> albech, I think so.
[14:50] <s0ck3ts> org
[14:51] <Alpha-Omega> could writing an mbr to a drive that's formatted with a partition of ntfs destroy it?
[14:51] <krababbel> Alpha-Omega: try using testdisk and see
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> !info ntfs-config | Alpha-Omega
[14:51] <Alpha-Omega> krababbel: I said before, doesn't show up in testdisk
[14:51] <myrmidette> hello, is there any way to pipe output from a program that is already being executed (preferably without pausing it)?
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: enable auto boot for ntfs and try a reboot
[14:52] <krababbel> Alpha-Omega: does the disk itself show up?
[14:52] <albech> JoshuaP, just a little strage.. it seems like evolution is loading the flags i set in thunderbird, but it is storing changes locally somehow
[14:52] <Alpha-Omega> krababbel: no, doesn't show up in fdisk -l, nor anywhere else
[14:52] <meowmix> hello i shutdown linux without properly unmounting my windows harddrive
[14:52] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: the MBR is discrete from anything in the partition table.
[14:52] <meowmix> and now windows will not start
[14:52] <meowmix> what is the easiest way to fix my windows boot
[14:52] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: ls /dev/sd*
[14:53] <lotuspsychje> meowmix:loose the windows :p
[14:53] <mneptok> meowmix: ##windows may be more helpful
[14:53] <bohem> can some one help me with vsftpd? can I restrict some users to only some directories (I don't mean restrict access only to "home directory")?
[14:53] <meowmix> damn
[14:53] <meowmix> you guys are retarded today
[14:54] <meowmix> all the smart people must be getting coffee -.-
[14:54] <mneptok> meowmix: pejoratives are unwelcome
[14:54] <Daghdha_> sweettalker huh
[14:54] <Wizard> !best
[14:54] <meowmix> easiest
[14:54] <meowmix> fewest steps
[14:54] <meowmix> nubs
[14:54] <mneptok> meowmix: stop with the epithets.
[14:54] <kubanc> where do i disable public view in vsftp
[14:55] <mneptok> ah well.
[14:55] <Alpha-Omega> mneptok: /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda5
[14:55]  * mneptok wonders if all these people coming from Windows understand that SFTP IS BUILT-IN AND IS SECURE
[14:55] <evvsko> hi
[14:55] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: is that other disk a SATA device?
[14:55] <Alpha-Omega> mneptok: yes
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> kubanc: try #vsftpd they might know all about
[14:56] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: does it have eco-friendly hardware controllers that reduce power when not in use?
[14:56] <Wizard> LOL
[14:56] <Wizard> Eco friendly.. LOLOLOL.
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> :p
[14:57] <Alpha-Omega> just before I installed kubuntu, the drive worked fine, I accidently wrote the mbr to this other drive because thats what it defaulted to and I didn't understand wording, I had to go into rescue mode and write grub to this hard drive im on now
[14:57] <Alpha-Omega> and boom this drive isnt being detected
[14:57] <Alpha-Omega> mneptok: don't think so
[14:57] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: if the drive has dropped to a low power consumption mode, it may not be visible.
[14:57] <SDI> guten tag alle
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega: pastebin your etc/fstab in channel mate, so we can take a look
[14:57] <fidel> !de > SDI
[14:57] <jgcampbell300> I could use a bit of help ... i cant seem to get my eth0 to come up .. eth1 works fine .. but trying to set eth0 to static on my server and run a dhcp on the server just for eth0 and not eth1 ... is there a special way to set up /etc/network/interfaces to make this happen ?
[14:58] <SDI> thx danke
[14:58] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169982/
[14:58] <fidel> jgcampbell300: was there any lately hardware change on that box (eth)?
[14:58] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: have you powered-off and reseated all the connectors for that drive?
[14:59] <Alpha-Omega> mneptok: you mean trying to unplug and plug back in, yeah I tried it
[14:59] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega:wich is the drive thats doesnt show anymore?
[14:59] <mneptok> Alpha-Omega: tried different cables? different port on the motherboard?
[14:59] <Alpha-Omega> i'm about ready to check in the BIOS if it's detected, but it is spinning so it seems to be working
[15:00] <gmachine_24> I cloned a partition using Clonezilla and need to generate a new UUID for the second hard drive; how do I do this?
[15:00] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: it's a drive with just files on it
[15:00] <Alpha-Omega> it's 1 TB
[15:00] <jgcampbell300> fidel: no it is close to a fresh build ... only thing i have installed is maas and maas-dhcp ... along with changes to interfaces file for static to public nic
[15:00] <Alpha-Omega> it's my storage
[15:00] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega:is it showing in fstab?
[15:01] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: nope, the other two partitions are my windows partition for windows install
[15:01] <Lukas1321> losoli
[15:01] <Lukas1321> oh sorry
[15:01] <Alpha-Omega> maybe I should try restarting into Windows, see if I have luck in there?
[15:01] <Lukas1321> wrong chatroom
[15:01] <fidel> jgcampbell300: ok - i was just thinking about persistent-net.rules by udev - but that would usually come as a result of changed hardware
[15:01] <lotuspsychje> Alpha-Omega:did you use pysdm in the past?
[15:01] <fidel> was just a random first idea - so skip it ;)
[15:01] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: haven't even heard of it
[15:02] <jgcampbell300> fidel: its running 10/100 eth1 and 10/100/1000 eth0 ... hmm gona check something
[15:02] <Alpha-Omega> let me check in windows, see if I can see the drive
[15:02] <Alpha-Omega> brb
[15:03] <Bipul> Can any one tell me difference between Self Respect and Ego ?
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> !ot | Bipul
[15:04] <jgcampbell300> tryed lshw -C network ... eveything there looks right ... hmm
[15:08] <Alpha-Omega> alright, well I restarted into Windows and the drive came up fine
[15:08] <Alpha-Omega> I come back into kubuntu and guess what, it's automatically mounted and shows up
[15:08] <Alpha-Omega> how idk
[15:09] <py_can> I have 6gb in Windows 7. On ubuntu it only shows 3.2 gb. both my windows and ubuntu are 64bit. Bios shows 6gb. ???
[15:09] <Alpha-Omega> why it wasn't showuing up in testdisk and fdisk idk
[15:09] <Alpha-Omega> py_can: you need to use 64 bit version of the OS
[15:09] <Alpha-Omega> ohh
[15:09] <py_can> Alpha-Omega, I am aware
[15:09] <Alpha-Omega> my bad
[15:09] <py_can> ;)
[15:10] <wN> Alpha-Omega: the kernel wasn't aware that it existed?
[15:10] <Alpha-Omega> lotuspsychje: would you happen to know whether I need to do anything now to remove the mbr on the drive with the files or anything I need to do?
[15:10] <Sidewinder1> Alpha-Omega, Sometimes when an external HD isn't "Safely Removed" from within windows; it doesn't show up in *nix. I'm not really sure why..
[15:10] <Alpha-Omega> wN: I guess not, but restarting made it somehow aware
[15:11] <Alpha-Omega> wN: ohh, I know what the problem is, damn I'm stupid lol, I plugged the drive in while the OS was already loaded
[15:11] <wN> perhaps the bios did not present it to the kernel correctly.
[15:11] <wN> ah. there you go
[15:11] <py_can> Why does my 64bit ubuntu only shows 3.2gb from the 6gb my bios/windows tells me I have ?
[15:11] <py_can> RAM
[15:11] <Alpha-Omega> i used arch before, never had issue with this
[15:11] <Alpha-Omega> weird for me, I though hot-swapping would be possible
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> py_can:maybe a few are dead?
[15:12] <AcidRain2012> i am usuing ubuntu 11.04, and am having problems using the firewire driver with jackd to record. what channel can i get help for this?
[15:12] <Alpha-Omega> so just my last question, would I need to write something else to the mbr now that I have grub installed to it, what if I want to clean out grub or w.e.?
[15:12] <py_can> lotuspsychje, no, in windows it works fine
[15:13] <py_can> lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/MxSRifz5

[15:18] <te> py_can: Looks like you can just remove those two packages.  I'm not sure how they got installed though, do you know?
[15:18] <py_can> te: I searched for "only 3.2gb in ubuntu" on google, went to this how-to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
[15:18] <py_can> and it made me do that
[15:19] <krofna> I upgraded my ubuntu to 12.10 and it wont boot anymore... (stuck on purple screen) What should I do?

[15:21] <lotuspsychje> py_can: how sure are you the other ram worked in windows
[15:21] <krofna> @lotuspsychje what do you mean? reinstall?
[15:21] <lotuspsychje> krofna:yes clean install
[15:21] <krofna> :(
[15:21] <py_can> lotuspsychje: pretty sure, bios regonizes it. Then I go into windows and have 9503 programs open at once, including really heavy ones and it wouldnt work that well without having 6gb
[15:22] <te> py_can: The last paragraph on that page says, "If something went wrong, just remove the PAE kernel packages using either synaptic or apt-get/aptitude"
[15:22] <py_can> te: rebooting, sec
[15:23] <te> py_can: wait

[15:24] <est11> krofna: try to change parameters in the grub menu like vga=775
[15:24] <krofna> @lotuspsychje will all my data be lost if i do that?

[15:25] <te> py_can: or, you can just see if they are in the list of installed packages.
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> krofna: better try rescue first, then clean install
[15:25] <krofna> oki will try.
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> krofna: any error un purple screen?

[15:35] <Sokel> hi
[15:36] <vaio> could anyone give me a hand with lid actions? they do not work on my ubuntu 10.04 on a vaio sz61vn. all i want to achieve is when i close the laptop lid, i want the computer to suspend.
[15:36] <py_can> te: so, all pae stuff is gone now. TRy rebooting now?
[15:36] <te> py_can: no
[15:36] <mneptok> vaio: weren't you asking about this last week?
[15:36] <vaio> suspend and hibernate work pefectly if i press the button at user menu
[15:37] <te> py_can: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list |grep linux
[15:37] <vaio> mneptok... lol, yes indeed... i haven't fixed it yet
[15:37] <mneptok> vaio: are you now a pm-utils expert?
[15:37] <te> py_can: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list |grep linux-image
[15:37] <py_can> te: http://pastebin.com/L30AtqQz
[15:37] <vaio> i am an expert on windows... lol... i want to get rid of it. i just suck at linux
[15:38] <py_can> everyone is an expert on windows ;)
[15:38] <lotuspsychje> vaio:good choice to loose the windows
[15:38] <mneptok> vaio: as suggested last week, you need to install the pm-utils package and begin to learn its machinations.
[15:39] <te> py_can: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic-pae
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> vaio  start with the basics
[15:39] <vaio> mneptok, don't want to sound grumpy, but if i started to learn everything from scratch... i would build my own OS, and not blast my brain about bugs in ubuntu
[15:39] <py_can> te: not installed, not removed
[15:39] <py_can> says it
[15:39] <te> py_can: What is the date on it?
[15:40] <te> py_can: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-generic-pae
[15:40] <mneptok> vaio: well, there it is. there's no infomred answer anyone in this channel without the exact same make and model laptop can give you. it would be all guessing.
[15:40] <py_can> te: i figured that cmd out myself ^^
[15:40] <vaio> mneptok, they are installed already
[15:40] <py_can> te: Aug 27 17:29
[15:41] <vaio> i was hoping, maybe, someone with more expertise than me... i don't know... perhaps give it a shot?
[15:42] <mneptok> vaio: there is no published standard for this stuff. OEMs implement it differently, and just enough so Windows can be made to work. without your exact laptop in front of me, it's all guesswork.
[15:43] <lotuspsychje> theres a bug on vaio suspend here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/951242
[15:43] <vaio> i understand mneptok, but your guess could be better than mine anyway
[15:44] <te> py_can: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic
[15:44] <wens07>  hi, everyone
[15:45] <Azodon> Hello
[15:45] <vaio> thanks lotuspsychje... i just had a look at it. it is the same thing from what i see.
[15:45] <te> py_can:  Above command may not be necessary, but just to make sure the kernel you are using is still correctly installed/configured for use.
[15:46] <py_can> do you want the output of that?
[15:46] <te> py_can: Yes
[15:46] <lotuspsychje> vaio: that was on gnome-desktop3, but still i read alot of vaio laptops with suspend problems...
[15:46] <py_can> te: http://pastebin.com/922JvCZU
[15:46] <vaio> i still have a problem though with launchpad... most of the comments are utter junk - status this and status that, as if it's solved
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> vaio: any bios upgrades you can try for suspend problems on sony driver site?
[15:47] <Joelito> hi, does anyone know where synaptic saves its settings ?
[15:47] <vaio> lotuspsychje i did have that problem with ubuntu 12... i had to install it because precise is all but precise... so installed lucid
[15:47] <te> py_can: Is this a wubi install?
[15:47] <G0DUB> Having problems after 'upgrading' from 10.04 to 12.04.01 on a 64 bit laptop. Now getting 'disk drive not ready or not available errors'. Tried some solutions from the web but no success so far. Anyone have any clues?
[15:47] <py_can> te: yes
 bios is already at the newest version... at least that's what sony reports
[15:48] <pinkus> can i do a minimal install (no gui) using the normal 64bit installer?
[15:48] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: a clean install is very recommended mate
[15:48] <sqturnn> just wanted to say hi, and to say out loud that unity is damn great and i'm loving it <3
[15:48] <vaio> but as i said, suspension and hibernation work just fine when i press the button at user menu
[15:48] <Sokel> Unity disgusts me. Rather use xfce or kde.
[15:49] <te> py_can: Well, I did not know that.  I guess that answers the question as to why it happened in the first place.
[15:49] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: the drive has only ubuntu on or dualboot?
[15:49] <G0DUB> lotus: that's what I was afraid of :-( Not good for user loyalty though
[15:49] <py_can> te: Sorry but I dident think it would make any difference
[15:49] <te> py_can: I would recommend you do a real ubuntu install.
[15:49] <G0DUB> lotus: ubuntu only
[15:49] <cogster> how in 12.04 do i reset a window to not always be on top of the tworkspace
[15:49] <py_can> te: allright thanks for the help anyawy
[15:49] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: sata ide ssd?
[15:49] <te> py_can: There is a lot of difference. But never mind.
[15:49] <pinkus> can i do a minimal install (no gui, no ssh, etc) using the normal 64bit installer?
[15:50] <te> py_can: Do a real linux install ;0)
[15:50] <pinkus> or is the server installer the best bet?
[15:50] <py_can> te: yep, will do
[15:50] <te> py_can: Ok good.
[15:50] <G0DUB> lotus: sata
[15:51] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: on wich part are you stuck? install or boot?
[15:51] <te> pinkus: If you want no gui, server install would be good.
[15:51] <Sokel> pinkus: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads

[15:53] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: messed with fstab or pysdm in the past?
[15:53] <Azodon> Sorry wrong chan. Unity rocks
[15:53] <Haffe> Hi, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with an audigy 2.
[15:53] <G0DUB> lotus: the only thing that has touched fstab was the update to 12.04 :-(
[15:54] <Haffe> As of now I have no sound. I have tried doing sudo alsamixer, but I keep getting an error that alsa can't open mixer.
[15:54] <Haffe> How to solve?
[15:54] <jgcampbell300> odd quesiton here ... i installed a dhcp server on a net and have 7 computers connected to it thou a swicth ... where do i find a list of the ip's and mac's from cli
[15:54] <lotuspsychje> GODUB:really strange mate, maybe try a reinstall of 12.04.1 ontop?
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: i also had many errors on upgrades, so now i only choose clean
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> !info etherape | jgcampbell300
[15:55] <G0DUB> lotus: I had hoped to fix without a reinstall as that will mean all my packages and home will need replacing/backing up. With I had kept better notes as the system grew :-(
[15:56] <jgcampbell300> lotuspsychje: is that something i can use safely on my network ?
[15:56] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: not sure what broke the disk error mate
[15:56] <lotuspsychje> jgcampbell300: yeah sure, its shows every computer connected
[15:56] <te> jgcampbell300: sudo nmap -O2 -sV --version_light -p0-65535 192.168.x.0/24  #To show lots of info on your network.
[15:56] <jgcampbell300> lotuspsychje: thank you
[15:57] <jgcampbell300> te: thanks
[15:57] <backbox> ciao
[15:57] <lotuspsychje> te: interesting line
[15:57] <G0DUB> lotus: unlike others who reported broken upgrades I did not have any power dips etc. Something didn't work right as update was not complete but I did get it to complete through use of rescue disk.
[15:57] <te> jgcampbell300: You can just do a broadcast ping. ping -b <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:57] <lotuspsychje> !it | backbox
[15:58] <jgcampbell300> te: that sounds like what i need to do for now ... i need to learn more base things ... ty
[15:58] <te> lotuspsychje: How to find MAC addresses on a network?: scan your network eg.: nmap 192.168.0.*  and run "arp -vn" after that.
[15:58] <lotuspsychje> jgcampbell300: like te says nmap is a must have
[15:59] <te> (192.168.0.* is just an example...)
[15:59] <bohem> Hello guys, can some one help me with vsftpd, please? can I restrict some users to only some directories (I don't mean restrict access only to "home directory")?
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> te: i knew the internal ip part, but not the version light
[15:59] <te> bohem: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> bohem join #vsftpd
[16:00] <te> lotuspsychje: ok... /fyi
[16:00] <VarmVaffel> why do I get windows style line endings when I use vi on ubuntu?
[16:00] <bohem> te - thank you :)
[16:00] <te> NP
[16:01] <lotuspsychje> GODUB:what about livecd into your system and try rescue hd
[16:01] <jgcampbell300> so let me ask this ... in /etc/resolv.conf .. can i have nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> can i add nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> right under that to make it look there if the first one gives no results
[16:02] <G0DUB> lotus: The 12.04 live cd doesn't have a rescue option I can find... I have been booting from than then chrooting to the old system. Where do I find the rescue option?
[16:03] <jgcampbell300> # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
[16:03] <jgcampbell300> #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[16:03] <jgcampbell300> hmm then where do i edit at
[16:03] <FloodBot1> jgcampbell300: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:03] <lotuspsychje> GODUB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery
[16:04] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: Personally, what I do is put my modifications in and do chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf to make sure it doesn't get overwritten. But that's on my router, because I run my own DNS server.
[16:04] <G0DUB> lotus: thanks will give that a go now
[16:05] <jgcampbell300> Sokel: i think it has to be left alown . im not sure but im trying to set up maas ... any ideas on this
[16:07] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: That disclaimer is there just as a warning. You can modify all you want, but you should backup the originals first. I personally have no idea how maas works or how to set it up. I don't have it in production, so I don't have the incentive exactly yet.
[16:07] <jgcampbell300> Sokel: ok .. thank you
[16:08] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: And if you do make changes to the file, you modify /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf and chattr +i on it to prevent changes.
[16:08] <jgcampbell300> Sokel: makes since
[16:08] <trond-> hi room. When I run unity_support_test -p I get VMware as OpenGL Vendor. When I run lspci -v I get VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) ... why do I get vmware and not intel as opengl vendor? How can I fix this? ... Upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.
[16:10] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: Though I don't see their reasoning to do that. /etc/resolv.conf was fine. Don't see why they have to throw symlinks everywhere. At least in RHEL things are in their right spots. But to each their own. Can't judge a distro by its symlinks.
[16:10] <knownada> I have sudo enabled and I am trying to setup a cronjob to run a php script
[16:10] <knownada> but it is not running
[16:10] <Sokel> knownada: What do you mean it's "not running"
[16:10] <knownada> I think sudo has something to do with it
[16:10] <Sokel> knownada: Where's the logs? You need logs to see what's wrong.
[16:10] <Topol> Hello, where is the Ubuntu Christian Channel?
[16:11] <knownada> its not executing...its supposed to go off every minute...
[16:11] <Topol> Anybody know?
[16:11] <Topol> ._.
[16:11] <knownada> where are the cron.log files?
[16:12] <Sokel> knownada: Everything shoudl be showing up in /var/log/syslog.
[16:13] <knownada> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1170147/
[16:14] <Sokel> knownada: That doesn't help when you have /dev/null 2>&1
[16:14] <Sokel> knownada: You're suppressing the output.
[16:14] <knownada> sokel : thats what it is showing... but I know it snot running.. I just moved to a new dedicated box and using sudo this time around and I know that has something to do with it
[16:15] <knownada> k..lemme change
[16:15] <Sokel> knownada: We need to see a real output to know what's going on.
[16:15] <jgcampbell300> how long should ping -b <IP_ADDRESS> take
[16:16] <TheLordOfTime> jgcampbell300:  infinite, try <IP_ADDRESS> instead of <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:16] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: You're not going to get a response.
[16:17] <gordonjcp> jgcampbell300: could take a while if nothing responds to broadcast pings
[16:17] <knownada> its not even showing up now in syslog
[16:17] <jgcampbell300> i thought broadcast happend at 255
[16:18] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: The point is, you're not going to get a response.
[16:18] <jgcampbell300> ahh
[16:18] <c88> yay www.ubuntu.com now works from Sweden
[16:18] <knownada> Aug 27 11:18:01 ubuntu CRON[18648]: (root) CMD (sudo /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/pts/cron.php)
[16:18] <knownada> that is all it is showing
[16:18] <Sokel> jgcampbell300: Maybe back in the day you could.
[16:20] <jgcampbell300> sokel: so useing nmap .. my goal is to know ip address and mac address of everything on the dhcp ... so maybe nmap -v 192.168.1.*/16 ?
[16:20] <gordonjcp> jgcampbell300: why not look at the dhcp server?
[16:20] <jgcampbell300> gordonjcp: its on the server and i dont know how
[16:21] <Sokel> knownada: Do this, put a >> /home/yourname/cron.log 2>&1 at the end of your cron line.
[16:21] <gordonjcp> well, find out how
[16:21] <Sokel> knownada: Then see what happens.
[16:21] <wow> ciao
[16:21] <gordonjcp> it's going to be easier than pratting about with nmap
[16:21] <wow> !list
[16:22] <jgcampbell300> gordonjcp: good idea ... back to google lol
[16:24] <dperk> looking for help.  Just upgraded server from 10 to 12 and I reboot and see "loading grub" but then all video dies and no ping to server.  I don't see anything on serial either. I can rescue and mount root & boot.  Any ideas where to start?  I feel Grub is the issue somehow.
[16:33] <Azzle-Dazzle> thunderbird does not notify me instantly of emails, Only when I open the app and select get mail does my emails come through, Why is this
[16:36] <tnk1> good day, all
[16:36] <damms005> Afternoon. Pls how do I know the sizeof a blank/empty (unformated) disc
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  what type of disk are we talking about?
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  it should be "explained" on the disk itself, with some documentation of maxSize
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> or storage capacity
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> (unless its a DVD)
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> (then its kind of 4.7GB-ish)
[16:38] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: In my case, it is not written anywhere on the disk
[16:38] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  what type of disk?
[16:38] <TheLordOfTime> HDD? solid-state?
[16:38] <TheLordOfTime> flash drive?
[16:38] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: Just a blank DVD disc that I'm hopping to burn video on
[16:39] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  if its a blank DVD disk, it should be around 4GB
[16:39] <TheLordOfTime> maybe 4.2ish, i have ones that are labeled as 4.7GB
[16:39] <TheLordOfTime> DVDs are kind of easy to tell, they only come in one general size.
[16:39]  * TheLordOfTime checks
[16:40] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: So there is no way of checking to be certain?
[16:40] <trond-> Azzle-Dazzle, I would believe that there is a setting there which tells you to search for mail every X seconds / minutes.
[16:40] <damms005> Brasero is saying my unformatted BLANK DVD disc is 1.3G???
[16:40] <trond-> Azzle-Dazzle, it's found here: Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings.
[16:41] <tomasm-> hi, is there a simple text editor like gedit that allows for font styling, ie bold, italic, underline, font sizes,  etc? I want something lightweight (not like open office or bluefish)... ive tried tomboy but my impression is that it has it's own database for storing files/notes, not using the file system like normal
[16:41] <damms005> Pls help me on how to determine the size of my blank (NEW) DVD
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  how "old" is that DVD disk?
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> in terms of age of purchase
[16:42] <gordonjcp> tomasm-: like a really lightweight wordprocessor?
[16:42] <gordonjcp> tomasm-: or like a wysiwyg web editor?
[16:42] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: 1 day old. I just bought it
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> !privmsg | damms005
[16:43] <tomasm-> gordonjcp, yeah all i need is something like tomboy but will work with normal files... not for web stuff - just basic word processing... i've been using gedit but i need to add some structure to the file via styling
[16:43] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  if it says 1.3GB, then that's what space you have to work with, i assume the rest of the disk is taken up with other junk related to DVD video, burned by Brasero
[16:43] <TheLordOfTime> its a tad different than dealing with a data disk...
[16:43] <nsmgo> i'm having trouble having rsyslog restartting. where would I begin debugging?
[16:43] <gordonjcp> tomasm-: tbh I tend to just use markdown syntax
[16:44] <tomasm-> gordonjcp, not familiar with that
[16:44] <nsmgo> when i run 'service rsyslog restart' cat -t -f /var/log/syslog doesn't refresh.
[16:44] <gordonjcp> tomasm-: it's very easy to turn into styled HTML, or TeX or whatever
[16:44] <neyder_> hi there
[16:45] <nsmgo> however if i reboot the machine rsyslog seems to be working fine... strange.
[16:45] <tomasm-> gordonjcp, i guess i'm looking for a direct wysiwyg tool, not something where i write code and then convert it
[16:45] <neyder_> how can I set an user to login without password in lightdm, but via command line. that's beacuse I have to do it in 40+ PCs
[16:45] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: i am sorry please. just curious. Nautilus (windows manager) mounted it as "blank DVD". when I mouseover, it shows blank:///. is there a way to access this "mount point"?
[16:46] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  not if there's no data
[16:46] <TheLordOfTime> damms005:  if there's no data there is no mount point, generally, its just waiting to be burned.
[16:46] <TheLordOfTime> but i'm not an expert, and i have to disappear for my classes
[16:46] <TheLordOfTime> but DVDs are supposed to have around 4.7GB, give or take, but if its single layer that may explain the smaller size.
[16:47] <damms005> TheLordOfTime: Please is there a linux "broghtness manager"?  (for example, reduce the brightness automatically when on battery and then on DC power)
[16:48] <damms005> Please is there a linux "broghtness manager"?  (for example, reduce the brightness automatically when on battery and then on DC power)

[16:59] <TriBeCa99> hey guys, can anyone help me "permanently" mount a cifs share? i.e. I can mount it manually, but I can't seem to get a line in fstab to mount it on boot correctly
[16:59] <jgcampbell300> i have installed maas and am looking for the proper place to add a upstream dns server ... can anyone help
[17:00] <ashi> put the samba share entries in /etc/fstab
[17:00] <TriBeCa99> ashi was that directed to me?
[17:00] <ashi> yes
[17:01] <ashi> tribe : what did u get the error
[17:01] <Dragonfly> wica : are you around buddy ?
[17:02] <TriBeCa99> ashi when I run "sudo mount -a" i get 'mount error(13): Permission denied \n Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)"
[17:02] <\n> what
[17:03] <ashi> just check the permissions of samba share folder
[17:04] <ashi> by type this  # ls -lZd folder path
[17:04] <TriBeCa99> the share is on a windows machine
[17:05] <TriBeCa99> also i'm not sure what you mean by 'folder path'... what is folder if not the path?
[17:06] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[17:06] <TriBeCa99> wee, a netsplit
[17:08] <ashi__> hey tribe
[17:08] <TriBeCa99> ashi hey
[17:09] <TriBeCa99> i just chown'd to USER from ROOT, but sudo mount -a still throws the same error
[17:09] <TriBeCa99> chown'd the empty mount directory, that is
[17:10] <ashi__> type this # chcon -t smaba_rw_t folder name
[17:10] <sulphur16> Tribe: You have mount point set in /etc/fstab ?
[17:10] <TriBeCa99> sulphur16 yes
[17:10] <TriBeCa99> perhaps i'm doing that wrong, though
[17:10] <TriBeCa99> was following a guide online
[17:10] <fAz4> My system freezes randomly, which log files should check ?
[17:11] <ashi__> just type here the enteries that u gave in fstab
[17:11] <gordonjcp> fAz4: can you relate the freezing to any particular activity?
[17:12] <mcianca> Hola
[17:12] <TriBeCa99> . //<IP_ADDRESS>/work /mnt/localwork cifs /home/jared/.smcredentials,1000,1000 0 0
[17:12] <TriBeCa99> minus the leading .
[17:12] <fAz4> gordonjcp: Unfortunately no
[17:13] <gordonjcp> fAz4: your machine just locks up hard, no particular pattern to it?
[17:13] <gordonjcp> fAz4: pop in the install CD and run memtest86
[17:13] <gordonjcp> (or USB stick)
[17:13] <gordonjcp> also check your cooling fans etc
[17:14] <ashi__> tribe99; did u edit the smb.cof file
[17:14] <pinkus> if i wanted a nonGUI install, is there any difference between the alternate installer vs. the server install?
[17:14] <fAz4> gordonjcp: no pattern, i don't think it's memory problem
[17:14] <TriBeCa99> ashi__ not recently
[17:14] <fAz4> gordonjcp: i hangs every 2-3 days without any reason !
[17:14] <ratcheer> pinkus: Yes, they are different.
[17:14] <TriBeCa99> fAz4 that REALLY sounds like RAM
[17:14] <gordonjcp> yeah, or heat
[17:15] <fAz4> gordonjcp: i memtested it some weeks ago it was ok
[17:16] <fAz4> it happens since upgrade to kernel 3.2.0-29
[17:16] <ashi__> can u get log in smaba share via terminal
[17:17] <TriBeCa99> ashi__ not sure what you're asking
[17:18] <ashi__> can u get smaba share folder via terminal
[17:18] <TriBeCa99> "sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.34.`16/work -o username=USER /mnt/localwork" mounts it succesfully

[17:19] <TriBeCa99> except it's 126 not `16
[17:23] <ilia1234> I have a problem: I am running ubuntu 10.04. I logged in to my computer and after it asks me user name password and session type it just goes back to that welcome screen. even if I choose "gnome-recovery-mode" or even "xterm session". Finally I logged in through the recovery mode kernel and after doing `xinit' and `xfce4-session' I logged in and I have managed to start xchat. My last actions before this weird crash were to remove a brok
[17:23] <ilia1234> en package which was plymouth-oxygen... What should I do to try and fix the situation?
[17:23] <hwilde> what is an alternative to ethtool when ethtool won't support the wifi driver?
[17:24] <ashi__> go to recovery mode
[17:24] <ilia1234> I am already in it
[17:24] <TriBeCa99> ashi__ any thoughts?
[17:25] <ashi__> trib99: try it via nfs
[17:25] <ilia1234> ashi__, you mean that gnome-recovery-mode?
[17:25] <TriBeCa99> do explain ...
[17:25] <ashi__> no
[17:25] <ashi__> give this in fstab ok

[17:28] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: if i rember right its under system settings , printer something, cups...
[17:29] <ilia1234> ok another question, can I start to X servers at once so I can start a session from a different user on a different screen (using Ctrl+Alt+F3) or something?
[17:29] <gordonjcp> fAz4: check for overheating then
[17:29] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: sorry i cant rember how exactly ... i switched to kde
[17:29] <Guddu> jgcampbell300, I see that option. My question was regarding the Device...There are 3 options LPT#1, Enter URI and Network Printer
[17:31] <TriBeCa99> aahhh, okay well my helper just left. can anyone help me mount a cifs share via /etc/fstab? I can mount manually fine, but I'd like it to automount on boot
[17:33] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: http://blog.sudobits.com/2012/04/13/how-to-install-printer-driver-on-ubuntu-12-04/ ... take a look at that
[17:33] <Guddu> Thanks jgama
[17:33] <Guddu> Thanks jgcampbell300
[17:34] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: if you dont see your printer there i would think that your computer hasnt seen the usb device ... first i would try to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in after 30sec
[17:34] <Guddu> Ok
[17:34] <Guddu> jgcampbell300, In my case the printer needs to be installed as a Raw Device Printer....
[17:34] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: i knwo there is a cli command to ask your computer if it sees it but i dont rember what it is
[17:34] <jgcampbell300> Guddu: black and white or color

[18:00] <MonkeyDust> yoof  depends on what you prefer
[18:00] <fidel> yoof: just ask yourself what might fit FOR YOU best  - other users might have other wishes then you
[18:00] <MonkeyDust> yoof  try them both, then decide
[18:01] <yoof> ubuntu
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> 12.04 LTS

[18:06] <catcher> I'd like to upgrade to svn 1.7, but all I'm seeing for ppa builds are unstable packages.  1.7 has been the recommended version for quite some time, how can I know when ubuntu will make the switch?
[18:06] <beata|lemur> I'm in the process of backporting cups 1.6.1 (and then other things) to lucid, using pbuilder and mini-dinstall according to (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto). mini-dinstall is giving me issues such as (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1169097/) which I can work around by manually editing the changes file but I suspect there may be a better solution. Suggestions?

[18:15] <loganrun> what is the ubuntu way of changing a program to run at boot like chkconfig, or is that what I should use
[18:15] <errterw> yes
[18:15] <catcher> Is there a reliable PPA for svn 1.7 in the meantime?
[18:15] <malcolm91> I tried the meta keys. ctrl only opens something in a new page.

I have +x permission on the scripts, running "run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily" performs the scripts as expected, but when i come back the next day, my scripts do not appear to have run automaticallyu
[18:20] <W4sp> multipass: That should be fine. I suggest you replace the first star with 5, making the process run every five minutes. That will be more than enough. .
[18:21] <malcolm91> W4sp: I've seen forums on this problem, but I do not understand them.
[18:21] <multipass> W4sp: hey, yeah i was just trying to make sure it ran.. but it doesnt seem to be running
[18:21] <multipass> it is a sudo crontab, so that it can run the command

[18:22] <ilia1234> how do I check if dbus is running properly? after uninstalling a broken package: plymouth-oxygen-theme I couldn't log in to my computer unless running the recovery mode kernel and starting a session logged in as root. after that I removed .ICEauthority and /tmp/.ICE... as someone suggested me, and still the only way I can log in is via root. when I log in from my own user (sudo -u ilia xfce4-session for example) it says it can't connect
[18:22] <ilia1234>  to dbus.
[18:23] <yoof> i knew it
[18:23] <W4sp> multipass: You can give the process -v for verbose. Also, see if your crontab has a $HOME setting and use that path and see if it works from command line. Also, ntpdate is normally in /usr/sbin/ntpdate, spec the full path if needed.

[18:26] <Lorra> fidel, I could ask an xslt-spefic channel, but I guess it wouldn't be as active as this one, that's why I'm asking here
[18:26] <tqrst> my guess is that the upgrade got rid of yp/nis, but why on earth would it have done that?
[18:26] <Guddu> Lorra....Try in #xml May be....
[18:27] <W4sp> luftikuss: It's a socket.
[18:27] <fidel> Lorra: now read the channels topic again and ask yourself if its clever to ask inhere - as channels have topics - and try to stay on them ;)

[18:31] <TaJMoX> How do I add a program into the unity HUD?? Shouldn't it be easy to manage the icons in there, since the whole point is being an intuitive user interface?
[18:31] <peeps[work]> /usr/sbin/anacron does not exist
[18:31] <luftikuss> W4sp: I don't think so. '~$ file /proc/mtd; /proc/mtd: empty.'
[18:32] <Sven_vB> hi
[18:32] <fidel> TaJMoX: dont use it myself - but wild guess is: start app - right-click its icon and choose the option to keep it in your dock
[18:32] <xangua> TaJMoX: hud is for the focus window menu
[18:33] <TaJMoX> xangua Okay I mean the unity applications menu thingy ... What's it called? I want to say "Start Menu" ...
[18:33] <loganrun> I did apt-get install mail-utils and it brought up a menu to configure mail during installation, is there any way to get that menu back again
[18:33] <loganrun> I tried reinstalling mailutils but it did not come back
[18:33] <TaJMoX> fidel the program is WhatPulse and doesn't have an icon, it starts in the "tray"
[18:34] <TaJMoX> fidel correction, it has an icon on the dock but I don't want it to lock there, I want it to "lock" in the applications thingy so I can click the Unity Ubuntu icon and simply type "WhatPulse"
[18:34] <TaJMoX> "Dash Home" is the label ...
[18:35] <TaJMoX> xangua The "dash" ... I want WhatPulse to appear in the Dash
[18:35] <TaJMoX> xangua Also I would like to edit the parameters of certain entries in "dash" applications ... like the icon and the command line parameters when I click the "xchat" button in there

[18:36] <[snake]> What makes a strong enough root password... I've got people in china and thailand attempting root authentication for some unknown and probably bizarre reason :p
[18:36] <TaJMoX> Silly that it SEEMS like it's supposed to be for a more user friendly experience, but there's a bunch of icons in there that I don't want to see and there's no right-click to edit the entries
[18:36] <TaJMoX> (I'm talking about the Ubuntu Unity dash)
[18:37] <TaJMoX> Can't add/remove/edit items in "Applications" ... weird
[18:37] <|Anthony|> how realistic is it that systemd will be stable in ubuntu?
[18:37] <BigGold> [snake]: if root login is disabled, then "password" is a strong enough root password
[18:37] <W4sp> [snake]: In Ubuntu the passwd for root isn't known. It is pseudo random generated and is meant not to be changed. Every interactive task required in Ubuntu is done by 'sudo <cmd>'.
[18:37] <BigGold> ^
[18:37] <|Anthony|> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd
[18:38] <[snake]> W4sp, unless of course I changed it
[18:38] <[snake]> BigGold, how can I unallow root by ssh?
[18:38] <W4sp> [snake]: Of course, if you change it manually it's not that random anymore. ;-)
[18:39] <BigGold> [snake]: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: PermitRootLogin no
[18:39] <zoktar> has there been à updated mini.iso for 12.04.1 yet? cant find it
[18:40] <Gup> Hi all,  having this exact problem http://noldgxpert.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/no-init-found-try-passing-initbootarg.html and I'm sure the fsck solution works but we dont have a CD to boot from.  Anyone know how to fix this from the busybox initramfs prompt?
[18:40] <[snake]> W4sp, haha yeah...
[18:40] <[snake]> BigGold, ok... should I edit that with visudo or something
[18:41] <BigGold> [snake]: first, find out if it's already there and uncommented: grep PermitRootLogin /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:41] <[snake]> BigGold, nvm I got confused with something else
[18:42] <W4sp> [snake]: The first time i build my own random int generator gave me always the same. lol.
[18:43] <mneptok> [snake]: what you are doing is extremly dangerous. and 99.9% of the time, unwarranted.
[18:43] <[snake]> W4sp, that's because you have to seed the randomness(which is actually preset by compiler(of whatever language you're using)) with time()
[18:44] <[snake]> mneptok, what, editing the file? or entering incorrect information?
[18:44] <mneptok> [snake]: giving the root account a password, and allowing remote root login via ssh.
[18:44] <W4sp> [snake]: It was .c and very long ago, snake. Anyway, it's too busy here as we shouldn't OT chat.
[18:45] <[snake]> mneptok, I'm disallowing
[18:45] <mneptok> [snake]: that's good. why do you need a root password?
[18:46] <W4sp> Gup: You require to boot in order to perform the tasks. If you can't make a CD see if you can get your hands on a USB pen drive or such.
[18:47] <[snake]> bye.
