[07:15] <maverick> glad u helped :)
[07:15] <nydel> maverick: happy to
[07:16] <N3WB13> my problem: newbie is not in the sudoers file XD
[07:16] <moment> hey guys does anybody know why fsck doesn't really run?
[07:17] <n0p_> visudo
[07:17] <bolosaur> Hi. I'm running a 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server and I'm having some issues with screens. Yesterday I set up one screen to run irssi, and today when I'm logging on, there are *two* screens available, out of which none can be resumed. If I do screen -ls the list reads "<XXXX>.irssi (<date>) (Attached), <XXXX>.pts-2.<machine name> (<date>) (Detached), 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-<machine name>."
[07:17] <bolosaur> Any ideas? I don't understnad what's going on.
[07:17] <bolosaur> Also, I'm quite new to Linux, just fyi.
[07:17] <nydel> N3WB13: what are you trying to do? i think you might try "man chroot"
[07:18] <amanthakur> Hi guys,
[07:18] <busfahrer> Excuse me, is there a way to keep Ubuntu from automatically mounting an USB stick after I insert it? (Just for one time?)
[07:18] <bolosaur> If I try to resume a screen, it just goes "There is no screen to be resumed maching irssi."
[07:19] <nydel> busfahrer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[07:19] <maverick> nydel: this helped my sudo chown [username] Downloads/*/*
[07:19] <amanthakur>  I am trying to redirect the output of "xinput test id" to a file but i am not able to do so. I have tried "xinput test id > file"
[07:19] <Devilz> hi i want to ask something about networking.
[07:19] <amh345> evening guys. im feeling like im on crazy pills over here.  im trying to setup googles two-step auth on my server.  and it's all working like a charm until i leave it for 30 minutes and try to log back in. it never ends up accepting my password.  despite me testing and testing it beforehand.  im not sure whats going on.
[07:20] <nydel> maverick: sudo chown -R [username] ~/Downloads
[07:20] <nydel> maverick: the -R is recursive, it changes every directory & file.
[07:20] <nydel> maverick: but yours worked too so, nicely done ;)
[07:20] <amh345> so im attempting another configuration on yet another server.   i read that keypair authentication needs to be turned off to make this work.
[07:20] <maverick> oh
[07:21] <Devilz> Once i stayed in a hotel where they have the service of paid wifi internet. The network is open i mean it can be seen and can be connected to by everyone. But when we try to open any website it opens a page where we need to enter a code which they provide when we pay them. Only after entering the code which is valid for limited time we can use the internet. I want to implement this thing for...
[07:21] <maverick> i guessed and did it :P
[07:21] <Devilz> ...my wifi router. Can anyone give me some direction.
[07:21] <amh345> is this the line i change to 'no' to turn off keypair auth? /etc/ssh/sshd_config  >>  PubkeyAuthentication yes
[07:21] <amh345> is there anything else i need to do turn turn off keypair authentication?
[07:21] <nydel> maverick: if i didn't guess 90% of the time i'd get less than 10% of my work done ;)
[07:21] <maverick> ha ha.. nice one :)
[07:22] <acicula> amh345: nope thats it, but pubkey authentication only works if you have a key set
[07:22] <maverick> i am basically a windows user.. but trying to shift to linux
[07:22] <tol> Devilz: i think ddwrt/openwrt can do this
[07:22] <maverick> coz i find it more geekish :D
[07:22] <acicula> so if you do not have an authorized_keys file it wont work(for your account)
[07:22] <amh345> acicula: i do have a key set. i initially connect with my keypairs. but i want to move away from that.
[07:22] <maverick> Devilz: what is your router model??
[07:22] <tol> Devilz: if you can install this on your router
[07:22] <acicula> amh345: why?
[07:22] <nydel> maverick: & geekish is the new sexy
[07:22] <amh345> could it be im actually forgetting my damn password.  every.single.time.i.test.this?
[07:22] <maverick> may b we can find a openwrt for u
[07:23] <amh345> acicula: im setting up google 2 step authentication
[07:23] <acicula> amh345: with ssh?
[07:23] <maverick> nydel: yeah!!
[07:23] <Devilz> not sure if i can do that on a cisco router.
[07:23] <amh345> acicula: yes
[07:23] <maverick> tell ur model..
[07:23] <maverick> i will let u know
[07:23] <maverick> Devilz: model?
[07:23] <amh345> and i get it to work everytime i set it up. but whenever i come back to it a few hours later. i can never log back in.
[07:23] <Devilz> maverick: don;t know the model. :P
[07:24] <amanthakur> Anyone could help? I am trying to redirect the output of "xinput test id" to a file but i am not able to do so. I have tried "xinput test id > file"
[07:24] <nydel> ooo Devilz 's issue has piqued my interest
[07:24] <acicula> amh345: k, though you can just leave keybased authentication enabled in the deamon and remove the authorized_key and get the same effect. are you dissabling password based logons too?
[07:24] <busfahrer> nydel: Thank you.
[07:24] <maverick> Devilz: check your router's behind :P
[07:24] <maverick> Devilz: i mean the reverse ;)
[07:24] <amh345> acicula: well it works with my user password.
[07:24] <amh345> but the verification code is on my phone.
[07:24] <Devilz> maverick: am at my work place ryt now. router is at home.
[07:25] <maverick> oh! k cool.. u cn contact me when u get home.. may b we cn work something out
[07:25] <amh345> acicula: PasswordAuthentication no  is set that way by default
[07:25] <maverick> thru mail?
[07:25] <acicula> amh345: ah ok so it replaces normal tunneled passwords
[07:25] <maverick> umm i am allowed to share my mail id here right??? :P
[07:25] <amh345> yeah. it's pretty cool.
[07:25] <Devilz> maverick: kk sure. can i have ur mail id?
[07:25] <maverick><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:26] <maverick> open invitation to spammers :P
[07:26] <moment> hey guys does anybody have an idea about this? when i boot i get a "serious errors while checing disk drive" but it works alright if it ignore it, now i'm trying to do fsck from a livecd and it only gives me this: http://pastebin.com/hjJbx1nZ and i still get the "serious error" message when i boot
[07:26] <amh345> acicula: but not being able to login in later is driving me mental. i setup the server everytime i test it and get it working. then blam….  cant get back in.
[07:26] <moment> there's nothing in dmesg
[07:26] <acicula> amh345: weird
[07:26] <amh345> acicula: i hate to think im screwing my password up every single time.
[07:26] <Devilz> maverick: will send u a dummy mail ryt now
[07:26] <maverick> :P sure :)
[07:27] <amh345> not to mention it locks me out if i try to many times.  so 6 attempts and im locked out for 5 mins.
[07:27] <amh345> cant even brute force it. heh
[07:27] <maverick> people.. please visit my blog

[07:27] <maverick> i hv one.. for my official mails and bank transactions..
[07:28] <maverick> dude!! u from India?? coolz
[07:28] <nydel> blog looks cool maverick, thanks
[07:28] <maverick> thanks :)
[07:28] <Kinter> i was wondering, is there any way to track the usernames from the chap-secrets file that people are using when they're connected to a pptpd VPN?
[07:28] <Devilz> maverick: can u explain the working a lil bit?
[07:28] <maverick> working of??
[07:29] <Devilz> maverick: i mean how would we implement that??
[07:30] <amh345> alright. the new server is working with it.  i've saved all my info. lets see if i can get back in in 20 mins
[07:30] <maverick> well yes.. the openwrt is a firmware, thirdparty not givien by Cisco
[07:31] <maverick> that gives the router more functions..
[07:31] <maverick> depends on router models and all..
[07:31] <bluebomber> Lightdm is not showing some users' wallpapers. Can anyone help me get it back to default behavior?
[07:31] <maverick> is not supported by many models. :)
[07:32] <maverick> nydel: thanks  :)
[07:32] <maverick> will update there.. useful tip.. didn't think of sharing
[07:32] <Devilz> maverick: k apart from that can there be a general solution to the problem? I mean can we implement what i explained for a general purpose ?? i mean that is valid for any router and any model?
[07:33] <nydel> maverick: :)
[07:33] <maverick> Devilz: haven't researched a lot on that.. may b we cn do it together.. some kind of software or something will be available..
[07:34] <c3l> what is the value of the scale factor in a static universe ("einsteins universe"). My intuition tells me that it must simply be one, but in some texts it is only required to be a constant.
[07:34] <Devilz> maverick: k sure...will tell u model no as soon i get to know then we may proceed
[07:34] <maverick> sure :) office se free hoke aajana :)
[07:34] <MonkeyDust> c3l  take that kind of question to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[07:35] <c3l> MonkeyDust: ehh.. sorry I thought I joined #physics, but it appears I failed. thanks
[07:35] <maverick> i gtg guys :) bye Devilz, bye Nydel
[07:35] <Devilz> bye maverick
[07:35] <nydel> alright i gotta take a break see y'all next round
[07:35] <MonkeyDust> c3l  can I pm you about the question?
[07:36] <c3l> MonkeyDust: I'd love that
[07:36] <nydel> c3l: MonkeyDust can i sit in?
[07:37] <nydel> nevermind i'm interested as heck but tired as hell
[07:37] <nydel> xo
[07:37] <MonkeyDust> nydel  if you find a way
[07:37] <moment> man, fsck even gives me an exit code 0, no errors
[07:37] <moment> then why does it complain when i boot
[07:37] <moment> isn't it the exact same program that runs?
[07:38] <moment> even though livecd is 12.04 and i'm booting lucid lynx
[07:39] <bolosaur> Anyone able to help me with my screen problem?
[07:40] <Onixs> just ask
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> bolosaur: give details and the channel will do it's best :)
[07:41] <bolosaur> bolosaur> Hi. I'm running a 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server and I'm having some issues with screens. Yesterday I set up one screen to run irssi, and today when I'm logging on, there are *two* screens available, out of which none can be resumed. If I do screen -ls the list reads "<XXXX>.irssi (<date>) (Attached), <XXXX>.pts-2.<machine name> (<date>) (Detached), 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-<machin
[07:41] <bolosaur> e name>."
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> moment: what options are you using with fsck?
[07:41] <bolosaur> bolosaur> Any ideas? I don't understnad what's going on.
[07:44] <acicula> bolosaur: you can force attaching with -x
[07:44] <acicula> bolosaur: it means another vt is still attached to the screen
[07:44] <Wildbat> Q: why would ~# chown root:music music/    --->  chown: invalid user: `root:music' ?
[07:44] <acicula> Wildbat: you mean root.music
[07:44] <acicula> ?
[07:44] <Onixs> coz root aint user
[07:45] <Onixs> ?
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Wildbat: looks ok to me, is the 'music' group a real group?
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Onixs: root is a user, it must exist
[07:45] <akibahara>  hi maybe somebody  could helpme. The issue is about : i want to burn into a sd a os but i cant so i will try to make a format process , but..i can get that the ubuntu gui recognize the sd on an icon ; so  i were thinking that it could be possible using only the terminal whit a command ; someone can teachme  how to do a format from the shell to my sd?
[07:45] <bolosaur> acicula: What's a vt?
[07:45] <moment> ActionParsnip: it's all here http://pastebin.com/hjJbx1nZ
[07:46] <acicula> virtual terminal
[07:46] <Wildbat> ActionParsnip, yes , and i can chown to root:root, music:music but not root:music....
[07:46] <bolosaur> acicula: Well, there is no other terminal currently running them
[07:46] <moment> i just did a badblocks test and no bad blocks
[07:46] <N3WB13> nvidia-current E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) if i delete nvidia-current delete also the propietary drivers?
[07:47] <bolosaur> so how does that add up?
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Wildbat: chown to music:muic then chown root     (without the groupname :D)
[07:47] <Wildbat> ActionParsnip, arrrr my bad can't root:root nor just root :<
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> moment: I'd read:  man fsck   you can use some better options
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Wildbat: will chgrp work? read the man page :)
[07:50] <akibahara>  hi maybe somebody  could helpme.

[07:50] <moment> uhmn, i did read that but i didn't see what better options i could use
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> akibahara: tried unetbootin?
[07:50] <pc-moon> how i can open voice chat , if chat wrote to me "This software requires Windows XP or later, or Mac OS X 10.4 or later."
[07:50] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, hi, can you helo me with my problm?
[07:50] <moment> fsck is just a front end for a bunch of other disk checking tools right? and it'll just pick the best i think
[07:50] <akibahara> yes
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: what software are you using?
[07:50] <pc-moon> ubutnu
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: i gave a suggestion already.....
[07:50] <pc-moon> last ver
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: no, the VOICE software...
[07:51] <pc-moon> i dont know how i can know
[07:51] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, didn't saw sorry. lemme check again
[07:51] <akibahara> actionparsnip: yes unetbootin
[07:52] <pc-moon> please i have course
[07:52] <pc-moon> what i should to download to run it
[07:52] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, i am not able to see your suggestion. Can you please write again?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur: you can use unetbootin to put the ISO on the SD card
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> akibahara: sorry ^
[07:53] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, but that not the problm i am facing :)
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: well, you are downloading the software which requires windows, what is it called? It's nothing more simple than that

[07:54] <amanthakur> ActionParsnip, I am using ubuntu and I am trying to redirect the output of "xinput test id" to a file but i am not able to do so. I have tried "xinput test id > file"
[07:55] <pc-moon> i have wine and java and everything as i think
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> amanthakur:  not sure
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: what app are you wanting to run in wine?

[07:57] <hangdeadman> How do I make my dash open firefox instead of chromium in ubuntu 12,04?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: if you mark the file as executable, then run it with wine it may work. Otherwise you may have to dual boot / virtualize
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> hangdeadman: type firefox instead of chromium
[07:58] <hangdeadman> when I search for an online movie for example and click on it in my dash it automatically opens with chromium, I would like to change that to firefox.
[07:59] <pafka__> hi
[08:00] <MonkeyDust> hangdeadman  system settings, details, default applications
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> hangdeadman: in system settings, change the default browser to Firefox..
[08:00] <hangdeadman> thanks!
[08:00] <Ali_nz2> hey ActionParsnip
[08:00] <pc-moon> so how can i run web explorer by wine to pass this
[08:00] <Ali_nz2> anyone able to help me debg why I cant connect to a openvpn server I just setup?
[08:01] <hangdeadman> Firefox is not listed, I have firefox installed in/opt.
[08:01] <Ali_nz2> the client just ends up waiting
[08:02] <auronandace> hangdeadman: why aren't you using firefox from the repos?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> hangdeadman: you may need to install the browser, then change the binary back to the link, that list uses the desktop files in /usr/share/applications which you won't have (unless there is a .desktop file in the data you extracted)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: you can run firefox in wine, it runs well
[08:03] <hangdeadman> before I upgraded from 10.10 the one in the repos would consistently freeze/crash, and I found a fix in forums by indtalling from the website into /opt.
[08:04] <pc-moon> ok
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> pc-moon: if its an app though, it won't matter what browser you run
[08:05] <auronandace> hangdeadman: so you haven't tried firefox from the repos since 10.10?
[08:05] <aria_s9> Hi everyone, I was just wondering what the best channel would be to ask about shipping a computer/components overseas?

[08:09] <psypher246> hi all, does anyone know why apport no longer logs bugs when apps crash on 12.04. stopped working after it was released as stable. I have bugs popping up on a daily basis
[08:12] <pungi-man> psypher246, this will come but you need not worry . just let it upload the information on the ubuntu server . there is actually a minor problem which may be fixed after some time
[08:13] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: is the vpn server on your local network or remote on wan?  if server on wan is it behind a nat (network address translation) network like behind an adsl box?
[08:14] <Ali_nz3> sacarlson: yes, behind a router, but I have forwarded 1194 to correct private IP
[08:15] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: ok and you can ping this address and dns is setup correctly?
[08:15] <Ali_nz3> sacarlson: when you say ping this address you mean the real world IP of the servers router?
[08:16] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: what I do is setup the simpleist openvpn config first with no encryption then when that works I go to the next step of encryption type
[08:16] <appi_uppi> Hi.. is tcmalloc part of ubuntu distro ( because it is licensed under BSD)?
[08:16] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: well I assume if it's nated you must have a dynamic ip setup so the dns name is needed?
[08:17] <Ali_nz3> the real world IP on the router is static
[08:18] <Ca11um> I want to remove Windows from this machine and use the whole HDD for Ubuntu, but the only drawback is I like to use Steam for gaming....How would a VirtualBox VM running Windows 7 handle games?
[08:19] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: ok it's static then can you run like wireshark on the server side to see if the attempted vpn connections can be seen?  did you check sudo netstat -pant; on the sever side to see that your server is listening on the port you say it should?
[08:20] <Ca11um> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47984043/DxDiag.txt
[08:20] <curiousx> Ca11um: good news for ya...
[08:20] <Ali_nz3> sacarlson: netstat -pant only seems to be showing UDP connections
[08:20] <sacarlson> Ca11um: virtualbox is bad for gameing in most cases

[08:20] <gurimu> Anyine have any ideea why or how Ubuntu might block access to an ircd for some bots? I have a bot running that works with unrealircd. Always has, but never on ubuntu (atleast not with the latest versions). The bot has been developed a few years ago and the sources are lost, but we still use it. I am almost certain that it's somehow related to Ubuntu because just the other day I had it running on another distro (arch) with unrealircd an
[08:21] <BadgerUK> yo, installing precise. Got blank screen, so used nomodeset. Upon installation getting blank screen on start up. read guides to change /etc/defualt/grub to include GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[08:21] <onats> do i need to do anything to have apt-add-repository become available in 12.04 server?
[08:21] <gurimu> I can connect with my regular IRC client and the port is open (the server is actually behind a DMZ)
[08:21] <BadgerUK> but when i hit f2 for cmd line
[08:21] <BadgerUK> it isnt terminal
[08:21] <Ca11um> Meh, Chuck_Norris, how can that be verified as legit?
[08:21] <sacarlson> Ali_nz3: maybe you have it configed for udp?
[08:21] <BadgerUK> so i cant nano/ gedit /etc/default/grub
[08:21] <BadgerUK> can someone enlighten me
[08:21] <Ali_nz3> sacarlson: wouldnt udp be normal?
[08:21] <Chuck_Norris> becouse is the president of valve who is answering tha mail
[08:21] <Ca11um> Anybody could just Photoshop a reply
[08:22] <Ca11um> and a corporate responce is 'Yes'?

[08:23] <Ca11um> I considered Wine, but apparently Wine is very bad for certain games
[08:23] <BadgerUK> it's alright for a lot of games
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[08:23] <Ca11um> I play stuff like COD:BO, GTA IV, Rise of Nations, L4D2, TF2

[08:26] <psypher246> i run lxde as a seperate session to play games, on uity it's a fail
[08:27] <Ca11um> So, I can wipe the HDD and install Ubuntu; wait for Steam Linux edition, and run Visual Studio in a VM?
[08:27] <Ca11um> Seems sorted
[08:27] <psypher246> pungi-man: ok thanks. Any suggestions on how to get developer attention to a 8 month old bug?
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> psypher246: compositing desktop should be off anyway imho :)
[08:28] <psypher246> ActionParsnip: yeah i know but I like unity, so don;'t have a choice right?
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> psypher246: Unity2D ;)
[08:28] <psypher246> which is falling away :(
[08:29] <psypher246> ActionParsnip: if I want to start a 2nd unity2d session what would my startx command be?
[08:29] <Ca11um> Though, won't Valve take another year to actually port over all the games?
[08:29] <psypher246> startx unity-2d -- :1  ?
[08:29] <pungi-man> psypher246, try lxde . its simple and light weight and better in looks than unity
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> psypher246: not sure, I use lightdm, you could look at the x session desktop files to see what it says
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  theres no guarentee they will port all of them.
[08:30] <BadgerUK> why do u need visual studio?
[08:30] <BadgerUK> what are u writing in?
[08:31] <Ca11um> I'm on the development team of a sub-project of a multiplayer mod; Multi Theft Auto (for GTA series)
[08:31] <Ca11um> So I need a Windows environment to test it
[08:31] <BadgerUK> ah
[08:31] <Ca11um> and compile it
[08:31] <gurimu> So, anyone have a clue atleast? Why would the same unrealircd version (just recompiled on ubuntu), with the same config, work on a Arch and not on Ubuntu? I don't even get connection attempts in the log, it's like ubuntu totally ignores the bot connecting, even though I can connect just fine with a regular IRC client (atleast locally).
[08:31] <BadgerUK> fair enough
[08:31] <pungi-man> Ca11um, u can use eclipse or monodevelop
[08:31] <BadgerUK> eclipse is a bit heavy
[08:31] <pungi-man> or KDevelop
[08:32] <psypher246> pungi-man: I have tried lxde, but yeah i really like unity, fullyinvested
[08:32] <Ca11um> The server is cross-compatible with Linux, however the client isn't
[08:32] <BadgerUK> but it's v powerful
[08:32] <BadgerUK> good scene
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> grand theft auto worked in wine last i tried it. ;)
[08:32] <Chuck_Norris> or gambas =P

[08:33] <BadgerUK> wtf
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> mimi972: thats a private network IP, so won't work over WWW
[08:34] <BadgerUK> im used to bash  :'9
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> you can edit the grub menui items without booting the os
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> for a one time ussage..

[08:35] <BadgerUK> Dr_Willis ty
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> abtocus:  use sort command, then the uniq command
[08:35] <abtocus> Dr_Willis who exactly. if the txt file is name.txt?
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> sort foo.txt
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> BadgerUK: yep, you need nomodeset
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> man sort for details/options
[08:36] <_ruben> mimi972: you should fix your site, it isn't working here
[08:36] <BadgerUK> yay!

[08:36] <BadgerUK> cheers guys
[08:36] <BadgerUK> making the painful switch from years of windows, to linux
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> last time i used the nomodeset option on the installer.. it auto added it to the grub menu for me..
[08:37] <BadgerUK> getting there slowly
[08:37] <abtocus> Dr_Willis i want to save the file too. and will sort file.txt remove duplicates too?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> abtocus:  i mentioned tghe 'uniq' command. :)
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> i think its uniq
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> removes dup lines.. of a sorted file
[08:38] <abtocus> Dr_Willis sort foo.txt | uniq?
[08:38] <Ca11um> Trying to install Ubuntu on another laptop, via USB stick (the CD drive is messed up) - it passes the Ubuntu screen, with dots that change from white to purple, but then it gets the default wallpaper and freezes indefinately
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: what GPU do you use?
[08:39] <Ca11um> I've tried it half a dozen times, and in different ports - it gets to approx the same stage every time
[08:39] <Ca11um> For the laptop?

[08:53] <cedwardsmedia> hey guys, this is more of a general debian question but here goes. my server's hdd is failing and i don't think a disk clone is going to work, thanks to i/o errors. is there a way to output a list of installed packages from apt-get, dpkg, or aptitude so that i can have a newly installed system install the packages? (i know synaptic has this feature, but this is on a server without x)
[08:53] <Chuck_Norris> !clone | cedwardsmedia:
[08:54] <cedwardsmedia> thanks

[09:23] <Viking667> hey ho all. I'm trying to REINSTALL the fglrx from AMD (on 11.10) as I just upgraded the memory
[09:24] <Viking667> ... except I can't find a "reinstall" switch in dpkg, and apt-get won't let me reinstall because it can't download fglrx again.
[09:24] <Viking667> I have the packages I used earlier. Do I have to uninstall completely, reboot, reinstall, reboot and see what happens?
[09:24] <Viking667> (I've gone to a PAE kernel too)
[09:25] <acicula> Viking667: apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>
[09:25] <Viking667> tried that. Thats what told me it couldn't reinstall because it couldn't download it
[09:25] <acicula> eh?
[09:26] <Viking667> Reinstallation of fglrx is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[09:26] <Viking667> ... that's what apt-get told me.
[09:26] <MonkeyDust> Viking667  what happens when you try
[09:26] <phr> hello world ;-)
[09:26] <Viking667> MonkeyDust: try ... what?
[09:26] <MonkeyDust> phr  lorem ipsum
[09:27] <sevoxx> "Reinstallation of fglrx is not possible, it cannot be downloaded." <-- That IS what happens when he tries.
[09:27] <Viking667> yeah. what he said
[09:28] <Viking667> sevoxx: ... unless you're not a he?
[09:28]  * Viking667 shrugs and apologises for the automatic assumption
[09:28] <Viking667> ah well. Looks like it's "dpkg" after all.
[09:28] <Viking667> meh.

[09:32] <deanzod> After a clean install of Ubuntu, my input mic works, my spdif headphone socket works, but my speakers don't.  On Acer 9810 lappy btw. Anyone got any ideas?!?
[09:32] <sevoxx> Check the mute button.
[09:33] <deanzod> I've done all of the obvious things such ash mute, faders, choosing the right device etc....
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: can you give the output of:wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> deanzod  in a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m
[09:34] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e9a11dbe4b2b5aa7b497aec44f221769fb066a3b
[09:34] <deanzod> I have unmuted everything in alsamixer already
[09:35] <deanzod> MonkeyDust: An odd thing in alsamixer though...'front' seems to control my headphone volume and 'spdif' is muted and can't be unmuted?!?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: have you tried changing the model to laptop in alsa-base.conf ?
[09:36] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: How would I do that?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf     change the line and reboot
[09:39] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: I have the file open but can't see a line that pertains to the model
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: ok, if you close gedit then run:  grep -R model /etc/modprobe.d/*     what is output?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: if it gives multiple lines, use a pastebin
[09:41] <deanzod> (gedit:5494): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to parse /usr/share/themes/mac-os-lion-theme/gtk-3.0/settings.ini: Key file contains line '/* ' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment

[09:49] <deanzod> I had to reboot. Did I miss any responses?

[09:51] <Oxymoron> Hi, I wonder is it hard to write your own script that automaticly switch to HDMI video and audio output when connect HDMI port and then switch back to regular audio output and video when unplug HDMI?
[09:53] <ikonia> Oxymoron: do not cross-post your questions across ubuntu and kubuntu please.
[09:54] <Viking667> Oxymoron: hm. Not sure how the video card likes being diddled with like that.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: the 3 files listed do nothing as they don't have a .conf extension, I suggest you delete them
[09:54] <Oxymoron> ikonia: sorry
[09:54] <Oxymoron> Viking667: at the moment, when I plugin HDMI I manually need to switch audio playback from stereo to hdmi and then manually activate HDMI video output.
[09:55] <Viking667> mmmm
[09:55] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: Is that just general housekeeping or could that fix my sound problem too?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: good house keeping, you can then add the line:  options snd-hda-intel model=laptop    in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[09:57] <Viking667> erm, what kernel modules are supposed to be loaded for an ATI hd3450 card?
[09:57] <Viking667> I see that radeon seems to be ... blacklisted. And I don't seem to have a fglrx module.
[09:58] <Viking667> ... weird thing is, I installed fglrx from packages. You'd think I had the flaming module in my list of modules to be installed
[09:59] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: Just to be clear, the files I should be deleting are:  etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:options  AND etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base~:options AND /etc/modprobe.d/options:options  ??
[10:00] <Viking667> the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base~ is a backup file.
[10:01] <lukicat> hey guys, i have a flickering screen on ubuntu 12.04 with such a crappy vaio laptop =/ think it's an intel gma 500 vga card inside... any1 has an idea to fix it?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base~; sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/options; sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: the colon stuff is  the result of grep
[10:02] <Ormie> Please Help!
[10:03] <Ormie> i want garuntee
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  the first step towards help is a question
[10:03] <fidel> !ask > Ormie
[10:03] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: Ok thanks. Going to reboot now and see if it worked
[10:05] <Ormie> I just uninstall unity and use cairo dock. and I restarted the computer and I can't go to the login. I get stuck with the low graphic mode. Now I'm installing ubuntu again, I want to know how to safely uninstall unity and use cairo dock instead.
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: just set the unity panel to hide and set the sensitiviy very low. Why not install Xubuntu and Unity won't be installed at all...?
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  no need to uninstall unity, simply select cairo in the login menu
[10:06] <sixi> hallo
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: or install gnome-panel and log in to the classic session.
[10:06] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, If I keep unity it will be a waste of hard disk space.
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: do you know how much space Unity actually takes?
[10:06] <Ormie> no
[10:07] <MonkeyDust> at least 7kb
[10:07] <MonkeyDust> (joke)
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: its like 30Mb at most, with all the dash and junk
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: its nothing
[10:07] <Ormie> great stuff...
[10:07] <sixi> are there germans here
[10:07] <Ormie> I still want to uninstall unity though, Is it possible?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: just install xubuntu and then you can use cairo dock easily, no Unity there
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> !de| sixi
[10:08] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: I have deleted the files, added the line and rebooted but still no sound :(
[10:09]  * Viking667 doesn't like unity much either.
[10:09] <ssta> "sudo passwd -l root" to relock the root account, right?
[10:09] <Viking667> I put up with it for nearly a month, just to see how frustrated I got, back in 10.10
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> deanzod: try the original model line, but set it in alsa-base.conf. Change the line you added
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  Viking667 there are plenty online forums about it
[10:09] <Saeryn> What's the sound issue deanzod?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: iwhy not just install gnome-panel in Precise?
[10:09] <Viking667> heh. I have no doubt. Thankfully unity has improved.
[10:10] <Viking667> I've got "gnome-classic" booted up over on the machine now.
[10:10] <deanzod> Saeryn: no sound through speakers but working through headphone socket
[10:10] <Viking667> THIS machine gets debian
[10:10] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, I used "sudo apt-get remove unity*" and everything is gone.
[10:10] <vooze> When i can see my harddrive when i try to install ubuntu, but i can install anything on it, does that mean i need to buy new harddrive ? (in a laptop) or is there somthing else wrong? I was just sitting in gnome shell when everything froze.. when i rebooted it was unable to boot OS from harddrive :(
[10:10] <vooze> but i can't **
[10:10] <ssta> yeah, that appears to have been right
[10:10] <Saeryn> deanzod: Is your sound run through a conexant chip?
[10:10] <JBenn1680> anyone do a lot of RDP sessions from windows to xubuntu? I'm having an issue where when I RDP from windows to the linux box the view is stacked/mirrored multiple times vertically
[10:11] <deanzod> Saeryn: I have no idea what that is
[10:11] <Saeryn> If you have alsamixer just go to a terminal and issue "alsamixer" without the quotes, it should show the chip.
[10:12] <Viking667> unless flaming pulseaudio has got in the way.
[10:12] <Viking667> ... thankfully, alsamixer works for me.
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: why install the release with Unity, if you are just going to remove it?
[10:13] <ssta> why is gnome-disk-utility not part of the default install any more?
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> ssta  to save space, so it fits on 1 cd
[10:13] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, Because unity offers a menu that I can go in and choose which window manager I want.
[10:13] <ssta> MonkeyDust: ah, a decent reason for once :)
[10:13] <Ormie> Please I just want to replace it.
[10:13] <Saeryn> deanzod: You can also use "aplay -l" to list the playback devices.
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: you can choose the WM easily in anything
[10:14] <deanzod> Saeryn: The chip is: realek alc883
[10:14] <deanzod> *realtek
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: install gnome-panel   log off then select the classic session
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: you are making this so much harder installing Gnome ubuntu
[10:15] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, what do I do after install gnome panel?
[10:15] <Saeryn> deanzod: Seems to be a few listed issues with that chip, give me a few minutes to look into it.
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: log off, select the classic session, log in
[10:16] <Ormie> And don't have to use unity and just use the gnome classic?
[10:16] <Saeryn> deanzod: Try adding "model=laptop-eapd" to the same file ActionParsnip was having you edit earlier, remove the other line he had you add in, reboot and try it then.
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: yes, thats why I'm telling you this
[10:16] <Saeryn> Without the quotes of course deanzod
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: in future I suggest you install Xubuntu and then install Cairo dock etc
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: drastically simpler
[10:17] <ssta> so...what *is* the "recommended" way of moving /home?  I can't imagine enabling a root account is part of the recommended procedure?
[10:17] <levinlavidaloca> how to upload files to a remote server to which i have ssh access?
[10:17] <phanindraramesh_>  I am trying to build autotrace from sources. I am getting the error ""cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile     /bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory   make: *** [Makefile] Error 127" on make. What shall I do? please help
[10:17] <CoJaBo> Someone ban levinlavidaloca
[10:17] <Saeryn> levinlavidaloca: Google sftp? or scp?
[10:17] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, I don't want to use Xubuntu and install cairo dock because i don't want to run the dock from x ubuntu.
[10:17] <CoJaBo> levinlavidaloca: diaf.
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> levinlavidaloca: use nautilus, it can connect to SFTP easily
[10:18] <LjL> CoJaBo: what's the matter?
[10:18] <CoJaBo> He's pm spamming.
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: whyever not?
[10:18] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, Because the cairo dock offers a window manager.
[10:19] <LjL> CoJaBo: i'll make a note, but we don't usually ban on just one report
[10:19] <Ormie> I want to use the window manager by cairo dock
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: then when you install it, there will be an option in the login manager won't there
[10:19] <phanindraramesh_> please help me
[10:19] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: What do you need?
[10:19] <phanindraramesh_>  I am trying to build autotrace from sources. I am getting the error ""cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile     /bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory   make: *** [Makefile] Error 127" on make. What shall I do? please help
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> phanindraramesh_: what does error 127 mean?
[10:20] <Saeryn> ^
[10:20] <phanindraramesh_> ActionParsnip, I do not know. I have pasted the error message from the terminal
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> phanindraramesh_: don't you think you should maybe go and find out.....
[10:20] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip so sftp has to be setup on the machine i want to upload file to?
[10:20] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip how to setup sftp. difficult?
[10:20] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: Use a Search Engine to find what the error means.
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  you did do a ./configure first?
[10:21] <phanindraramesh_> yeah. I did
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> levinlavidaloca: do you mean the server or the client?
[10:21] <Saeryn> deanzod: Is your issue still around?
[10:21] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, yeah. I did
[10:21] <deanzod> Saeryn: Changed the line and rebooted but still no joy
[10:21] <Viking667> 127 means :no such file:
[10:21] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, At least: I install the edition with unity and I install cairo dock and I want to remove the unity option out from the session list in the login.
[10:21] <Viking667> phanindraramesh_: you're missing config.status
[10:21] <Saeryn> So you have sound coming from the speakers but none from the headphone jack or vice versa?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  perhaps it failed
[10:22] <JBenn1680> anyone do a lot of RDP sessions from windows to xubuntu? I'm having an issue where when I RDP from windows to the linux box the view is stacked/mirrored multiple times vertically, how might i fix this? I've searched Google and not coming up with anything relevant
[10:22] <Viking667> ... at least, that's what I think I can see from what you pasted
[10:22] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: Did you read the README and INSTALL files?
[10:22] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip ?
[10:22] <Saeryn> Usually they will contain the proper directions. You might be in the wrong directory.
[10:23] <qawsedrf> how can i do something so that when i add subdirectories, sub files, etc. to a folder, all of them inherit the group of the main folder ?
[10:23] <Saeryn> deanzod: So you have sound coming from the speakers, but not the headphone jack or vice-versa?
[10:23] <qawsedrf> i set a g+s right now to the main folder, but that onlky works for first level files/folders
[10:23] <llutz> qawsedrf: set sgid on dir (man chmod)
[10:23] <phanindraramesh_> Saeryn, I am following the procedure in README file. And I got the error in make step
[10:23] <deanzod> Saeryn: sound from headphones but not from speakers
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  id run the ./configure again and see if it has any errors
[10:24] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, I have done it again. But the same error again
[10:24] <Saeryn> Interesting. My issue was reversed. deanzod I will do some more research and see if I can help.
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> levinlavidaloca: well, do you want to connect to an existing SFTP server or setup a new SFTP server?
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  pay attention to its output
[10:24] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip Dr_Willis so sftp has to be setup on the machine i want to upload file to?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: you can remove the .desktop from the xsessions folder
[10:24] <deanzod> Saeryn: Maybe it's as if the laptop is thinking the headphones are still plugged in when they arent?!?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> levinlavidaloca: yes, if you install openssh-server you will automagically get an SFTP service, it's not enabled by default
[10:25] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: Then you either did something wrong in a previous step, don't have the right dependancies or mistyped. Look for any more error indications.
[10:25] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, That wasn't clear enough.
[10:25] <qawsedrf> llutz: you get me?
[10:25] <Saeryn> deanzod: If the headphones are never plugged in after boot and you still aren't getting sound it's more likely that the speakers aren't being noticed.
[10:25] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip how can i enable it
[10:25] <qawsedrf> i se g+s to the main folder, and then a script adds files and subfoldewrs to rthe main folder. but only first level inherits the group id
[10:25] <llutz> qawsedrf: you'll need to define acl i guess
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: there is a folder with .desktop folders in which populates the list of available sessions when you log in, if you delete it it will not be in teh list
[10:26] <phanindraramesh_> Saeryn, ./configure gave no errors. hjave a look at it http://pastebin.com/8JNjzgUf
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> levinlavidaloca: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:26] <railsraider> hi, i am trying to do service ssh reload on 10.04LTS but i get restart: Unknown instance:  if i do /etc/init.d/ssh reload it works
[10:26] <railsraider> how can i get the service ssh restart command to work
[10:26] <cycl0ne> hello guys I got a problem with my ubuntu PPP DNS settings
[10:26] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, , ./configure gave no errors. hjave a look at it http://pastebin.com/8JNjzgUf
[10:26] <qawsedrf> llutz: :/
[10:26] <levinlavidaloca> ActionParsnip how to setup / enable sftp?
[10:27] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: The output you pasted seems to indicate that the file it's looking for isn't there, are you in the directory with config.status?
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> levinlavidaloca:  sudo service ssh stop (i think)
[10:27] <MonkeyDust> levinlavidaloca  he just explained: setup openssh-server, sftp comes with it
[10:27] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, Delete the whole .desktop folder?
[10:27] <phanindraramesh_> Saeryn, yes. I am in the same directory that the config.status is
[10:27] <Ca11um> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my other laptop, but now when it boots nothing happens
[10:28] <Ca11um> It's currently a black screen with a cursor
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset| Ca11um
[10:28] <Ca11um> Usually the screen goes purple and gets lines across it
[10:28] <Ca11um> I used that during install
[10:28] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: Would you mind sending me the error in a query?
[10:29] <cycl0ne> whenever I typed any DNS server address in the field, the apply button becomes inactive
[10:29] <phanindraramesh_> Saeryn, I didn't get the word query. You mean that I have to ask this error message in a discussion forum?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: no, just the one file that references the unity session
[10:30] <Saeryn> phanindraramesh_: /q Saeryn and paste the error message in that window, then hit enter.
[10:30] <cycl0ne> I choose to use Automatic (PPP) addresses only for a mobile broadband  connection
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: did the nomodeset not work?
[10:30] <Ormie> Ok!
[10:30] <Saeryn> deanzod: What model is your machine?
[10:30] <Ca11um> I did it during install, looking at how to perm set it now....
[10:30] <Ca11um> How do I open terminal if the OS doesn't load?
[10:31] <deanzod> Saeryn: Acer Aspire 9810
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: hold shift at boot then press E, you can add the boot option there, hopefully updates will make the option unnecessary
[10:31] <Saeryn> Thank you deanzod
[10:31] <N3WB13> hi what library i need? : Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.
[10:31] <Ormie> thanks alot, actionparsnip
[10:31] <cycl0ne> somebody help me with that pls.
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: you could make the system even easier to install by installing ubuntu minimal, then install the dock
[10:32] <Saeryn> N3WB13: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> !info ia32-libs
 but ia32-libs is in the most recent version o.O
[10:34] <Ca11um> ActionParsnip: Okay, GRUB Boot Loader has appeared
[10:34] <Ca11um> Alt+F2 does nothing
[10:34] <Ca11um> and 'c' doesn't appear to have what is needed
 i belive i need other stuff for compile 32bits programs
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: press E to (e)dit the kernel and remove 'quiet splash'
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: then add: nomodeset
[10:35] <N3WB13> the question is what
[10:35] <Saeryn> N3WB13: Is it a .deb?
[10:35] <N3WB13> no its a source
[10:36] <Saeryn> Ah, ok. One moment
[10:36] <N3WB13> the message is when i do ./configure
[10:36] <llutz> N3WB13: you need the -dev packages
[10:37] <Saeryn> deanzod: llutz Is correct
[10:37] <Saeryn> Act
[10:37] <Saeryn> Ack*
[10:37] <N3WB13> do you mean ia32-libs-dev ??
[10:37] <llutz> N3WB13: yes
[10:37] <Ca11um> ActionParsnip: And what is the key to save and exit?
[10:37] <Saeryn> deanzod: Working on your issue still :)
 invalid operation XD
[10:38] <Ca11um> The line currently has: linux /boot/...... eo   nomodeset $vt_handoff
[10:38] <Ca11um> eo -> ro
[10:39] <llutz> !info ia32-libs-dev
[10:39] <JBenn1680> so does anyone have any clue as to why my remote sessions are displaying funky?
[10:39] <Saeryn> deanzod: Have you tried gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then adding in "options snd-hda-intel model=acer"? (without quotes) You'd save that and reboot again, if that doesn't work then try lenovo. I once got sound to work on my machine by specifying a different brand ironically enough.
[10:39] <llutz> hrm, however this is named or by whatever its replaced now in precise
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: just press ENTER and it will boot, get fully updated and hopefully it will boot without it#
[10:41] <Ormie> Oh and, ActionParsnip, If delete the file related to unity in the .desktop directory. How do I restore it when I need it?
[10:41] <Ca11um> ActionParsnip: ENTER just creates a new line, but if I boot (Ctrl+X or F10) it doesn't save the settings
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: read the bottom line
[10:44] <Saeryn> N3WB13 sudo apt-cache show ia32-libs-multiarch
[10:44] <levinlavidaloca> i must give a -key while loging to my vps having ubuntu and ssh enabled . its  not login by a username password only. if i use filezilla (i dont have nautilus, i use kubuntu as client) then how can i connect
[10:44] <N3WB13> thanks very much
[10:44] <Saeryn> N3WB13: Install that package and try again.
[10:45] <N3WB13>  <Saeryn> sudo apt-cache show ia32-libs-multiarch :package not found
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> !tab| N3WB13
[10:47] <Saeryn> N3WB13: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ia32-libs-multiarch
[10:48] <Ormie> NO!
[10:48] <Ca11um> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, seems to be working now - however, the laptop resolution seems to be too tall for the screen itself; if my cursor goes to the bottom of the screen, it kind of scrolls down slightly
[10:48] <Ca11um> An extra 20-30 pixels
[10:49] <Ormie> Ca11um: ActionParsnip [~andy@ubuntu/member/actionparsnip] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[10:49] <Ca11um> I see
[10:49] <Saeryn> Ca11um: Search Engine to adjust screen resolution.
[10:49] <N3WB13> Saeryn, wrong arquitecture only appears i386 to download in this url XD
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  on a tv monitor?
[10:50] <Ca11um> Dr_Willis: No, a native laptop monitor
[10:50] <Ca11um> What's "Sticky edges"?
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  that sounds like an overscan setting.
[10:50] <Saeryn> N3WB13: When was the last time you updated?
[10:50] <N3WB13> Saeryn, do you know a ia32 repository?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  sen that when using a tv as a pc monitor
[10:51] <N3WB13> Saeryn, i upgrade them 10 minutes ago
[10:52] <Saeryn> Ca11um: What size is the monitor? 15.6?
[10:52] <Ormie> omlet: Hi
[10:52] <Ormie> you think you know my answer?
[10:53] <Ca11um> Saeryn, Dr_Willis: Thanks, got it sorted now - Ubuntu got the native resolution wrong
[10:53] <deanzod> Saeryn: Sorry for the long silence...went to boil the kettle. I will try a few different models and reboots and see what happens thanks!
[10:54] <Saeryn> Ca11um: Happens, Glad it's fixed. :)
[10:54] <Saeryn> deanzod: Good luck :)
[10:55] <Ormie> Anyone?
[10:55] <Saeryn> N3WB13: I'm not sure, is it specified in the package where ia32 libs is?
[10:55] <Saeryn> Ormie what is your issue?
[10:55] <Ormie> If I delete the file related to unity in the .desktop directory. How do I restore it when I need it?
[10:56] <Saeryn> Ormie: No idea. Don't use Unity.
[10:56] <Saeryn> Sorry
[10:56] <Saeryn> Ormie: Best to search the forums and a Search Engine until more people arrive who can help.
[10:56] <qawsedrf> can i execute just 1 particular file via ssh ?
[10:57] <qawsedrf> without having to login to the server or setup public keys?
[10:57] <tuxgeek> Ormie: is the file not autogenerated at startup?
[10:57] <Ormie> Saeryn, The point to delete file related to unity in the .desktop directory is i want to switch to cairo dock and the unity option from the session menu will be gone.
[10:58] <Saeryn> qawsedrf: Unless there is a sort of open account, logging in and a key is a form of authentication, without authentication how are you going to get access to the file? It would pose a critical security risk.
[10:58] <qawsedrf> well, only 1 file
[10:58] <qawsedrf> that will execute a hardcoded command
[10:58] <qawsedrf> thats all
[10:58] <N3WB13> i have a ubuntu 10.04 64bits arquitecture with amd64 XD and the terminal says me what i have ia32libs but don't leave compile because i "Cannot build a 32-bit program" nothing has senses XD
[10:58] <qawsedrf> i cant see how there can be a security risk with that
[10:59] <Saeryn> N3WB13: You have 10.04 not 12.04?
[10:59] <tuxgeek> !shell
[10:59] <qawsedrf> Saeryn: do i make sense?
[10:59] <N3WB13> Saeryn, yes
[10:59] <Saeryn> OOOOOH
[10:59] <Saeryn> In that case, one moment.
[10:59] <zykotick9> N3WB13: ia32libs is for running, not compiling
[11:00] <deanzod> ActionParsnip: Thanks for all the help.
[11:00] <deanzod> Saeryn: Thanks a lot! changing model to acer fixed it
[11:00] <Saeryn> N3WB13: have you tried -m32 when compiling?
[11:00] <Saeryn> deanzod: :) Good!
[11:01] <qawsedrf> Saeryn: ?
[11:01] <deanzod> 3 days I have been trying to do that and 20 minutes in here sorted it!
[11:01] <deanzod> :)
[11:01] <wylde_> Ormie: rather than delete the file will 'mv oldfile.foo newfilename.foo' suffice? Then you could just rename the file back when needed.
[11:01] <Saeryn> No worries deanzod That's what we're here for :)
[11:01] <N3WB13> Saeryn, no how shoul be  "-m32" ./configure -m32" ???
[11:02] <Ormie> Cool, Thanks!
[11:02] <N3WB13> *should
[11:02] <strk> any idea why network-manager applet could fail to install its icon in the notification area ?
[11:02] <Saeryn> strk: Try reloading it?
[11:02] <zykotick9> strk: "nm-applet"
[11:02] <qawsedrf> :(
[11:03] <strk> it starts, but no icon shown
[11:03] <strk> this is 10.04

[11:04] <N3WB13> i have a ubuntu 10.04 can i use the 11.04 or 12LTS repositories?
[11:04] <strk> could be related ?
[11:04] <foxmulder881> unity discussion is not OT. it's ubuntu related.
[11:04] <fidel> N3WB13: you should use the repos designed for your distri & version
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> foxmulder881  discussion is OT
[11:04] <fidel> so if you run 10.04 - use the 10.04 repos
[11:05] <zykotick9> foxmulder881: opinion and likes is not a support question
[11:05] <foxmulder881> MonkeyDust: right...
[11:05] <Saeryn> N3WB13: Pastefile your ./configure output.
[11:05] <foxmulder881> what's the OT channel for ubuntu.

[11:07] <Mhondoz> Hi :) Is there a way to verify if the Atheros AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E Ethernet Controller is supported out of the box on Ubuntu 10.04 (without actually installing it - the computer is on a remote site at our customer)?
[11:07] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: Should be able to find that vis-a-vis a Search Engine :)
[11:08] <N3WB13> ok i will use paste ubuntu :P
[11:08] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: :-) Yeah, already tried that. Find this for example: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man4/ale.4freebsd.html
[11:09] <Mhondoz> But not sure if that means it is a package available for installation, - or included in the kernel by default
[11:09] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: In a quick search all I could find is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9452481
[11:09] <Saeryn> Maybe wrong distro one second :)
[11:11] <strk> so, any idea about atk-bridge errors ? (coming out of nm-applet)
[11:11] <strk> (nm-applet:2354): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup.
[11:11] <strk> (nm-applet:2354): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set.
[11:11] <strk> (nm-applet:2354): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry
[11:12] <Saeryn> strk Search Engine them?
[11:12] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: One more moment :)
[11:12] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: Seems from that post that wired ethernet works out of the box on 9.10, so I would assume it also works for 10.04 then...?
[11:13] <Saeryn> Never assume :) I'm thinking it should however I'm not 100% sure.
[11:13] <Saeryn> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:1969:1026-NETWORK/ Either of those Mhondoz ?
[11:14] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: Yes that is the one.
[11:15] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: I can't say with any certainty really at the moment. However seeing the machines that it is in, I would assume they are supported.
[11:15] <bergelmir> i have an encrypted home partition but i get an error (serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /home)
[11:15] <Saeryn> Note "assume"
[11:15] <miss_ubuntu> hello guyz , app for tasks in ubuntu ... someone was asking about it yesterday
[11:15] <bergelmir> i need the exact error message but where do i find it?
[11:15] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: That it is includet in those certified systems... does it say anything about from when it was supported in Ubuntu? 9.10, 10.04...?
[11:16] <bergelmir> if i try to mount it manually all works fine without any problems
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> miss_ubuntu  system monitor
[11:16] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: Give me one moment.
[11:16] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: I see now
[11:17] <GoodByeMegaton> hello
[11:17] <sacarlson> N3WB13: maybe you need this sudo apt-get install g++-multilib  ; http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compile-32bit-application-using-gcc-64-bit-linux.html
[11:17] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: Eee PC is 10.04 is supported, and it has the same network interface.
[11:17] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: Thank you for the help! :-)
[11:17] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: Perfect :) Then it should be supported
[11:17] <GoodByeMegaton> does still exist in ubuntu what was years ago called a "build-essentials" ?
[11:17] <Saeryn> No wories Mhondoz Pleasure helping you.
[11:17] <wylde_> GoodByeMegaton: yes
[11:17] <wylde_> !info build-essentials
[11:18] <zykotick9> !info build-essential | GoodByeMegaton
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> !find build-essential
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  was faster :)
[11:18] <Saeryn> Mhondoz: If you need any help in the future and I am arround just highlight me :)
[11:18] <GoodByeMegaton> wylde_: cool, thanks (not for me but for customer with buntu asking us for something)
[11:18] <Saeryn> Or query me for that matter if it's urgent.
[11:18] <Mhondoz> Saeryn: Thanks :-)
[11:18] <nasuga> !find gnome
 thanks  g++-multilib are installing , i have to see if it work :D
[11:20] <GoodByeMegaton> wylde_: probably last Q:, are kernel-headers (that's the name in buntu iirc) also brought with build-essentials ?
[11:20] <basz> hi plp. i see various ways of updating 10.04LTS from PHP5.3.2 to 5.3.3+, however I am not sure which one is good/works. Anyadvise on that?
[11:20] <N3WB13> sacarlson  IT WORKS!! THANKS GENIUS!!!
[11:20] <wylde_> GoodByeMegaton: I'm honestly not sure.... hmmm anyone?
[11:21] <nasuga> Basz:If you're using ubuntu, Iwould just apt-get upgrade
[11:21] <GoodByeMegaton> wylde_: no prob, thanks much
[11:21] <Saeryn> sacarlson: Going to have to remember that :)
[11:22] <N3WB13> goodbye and thanks for all ;D
[11:23] <nino`> A question, in day to day use, what would be the differences you'd encounter between Ubuntu 12.04 with Cinnamon as the desktop and LinuxMint (Cinnamon)?
[11:24] <Saeryn> nino`: That's not really a support question, I'd try a forum search on Ubuntu and Mint, or asking in a more offtopic channel.
[11:24] <Saeryn> nino`: Simply because you might have a hard time finding someone who uses Mint in an Ubuntu support channel :)
[11:25] <nino`> True the LinuxMint channel is quiet so I thought (rightly) there'd be more activity here.
[11:25] <ikonia> nino`: the linux mint channel is quite active
[11:25] <Saeryn> nino`: Might find someone but if you don't, don't be surprised is all :)
[11:29] <nino`> I didn't realise this was a support channel. OK here's one. Does the 12.04 version of GPartEd happily handle the 4K sector sizes of WD drives?
[11:29] <nino`> I was pretty sure it did if you chose the align to cylinder option
[11:30] <basz> nasuga: that does not work - unfortunately.
[11:30] <Rookie407> newbie question. im trying to use this shift switcher but everytime i minimize a program it sends it to the bottom of my screen instead of to the middle with a preview window like it shows in the picture. what am i doing wrong?
[11:31] <Saeryn> nino`: They should as the 4K Sector size can be set to work with the traditional 512 iirc.
[11:31] <kantoka> Hi guys! Anyone know what config file to edit if I want to change the default icon image for a specific file type (in ubuntu 12.04)?
[11:31] <nino`> Any thoughts? I'd hate to cripple the drive speed by picking the wrong way of partitioning it
[11:31] <Saeryn> nino`: I can look it up for you.
[11:32] <Saeryn> Rookie407: Sounds like a WindowManager/DE issue.
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> nino`  just installed cinnamon, it's beautiful
[11:32] <Rookie407> Saeryn, how would i go about correcting this?
[11:32] <miss_ubuntu> hello guyz , app for noting down tasks in ubuntu ... someone was asking about it yesterday
[11:32] <crazybrain> My Totem video player not working
[11:32] <Saeryn> nino`:  Looks like it is supported :)
[11:32] <Saeryn> crazybrain: What do you mean not working?
[11:33] <Saeryn> miss_ubuntu: Search Engine.
[11:33] <Saeryn> Rookie407: No clue, search engine and forums might help, also check the forums of the software itself if they have one.
[11:33] <nino`> Saeryn - do you have to choose any special options or does it alighn automatically - could you point me at the link?
[11:33] <crazybrain> Saeryn: i mean the video is in pause mode even i click on play it doesnt play
[11:34] <Saeryn> crazybrain: Kill it and restart it.
[11:34] <Saeryn> nino`: Search Engine and Forum Search will help :)
[11:34] <crazybrain> Saeryn: i did but still the same old shit
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> run it from a terminal look for errors crazybrain
[11:34] <nino`> I used 11.10 (from memory) for format the drive and it's been working happily but after 12.04 refused to see the partition, I checked with sfdisk and it a reports on partition is beyond the end of the disk :-(
[11:35] <Saeryn> crazybrain: Try to refrain from swearing :) do what Dr_Willis suggested
[11:35] <IdleOne> crazybrain: please mind the language in here
[11:35] <crazybrain> Dr_will
[11:35] <crazybrain> how?
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> open terminal, run the app
[11:36] <Saeryn> crazybrain: Start a terminal, cd to the directory of the video and "totem filename"
[11:36] <nino`> Given that I used GpartEd with the "align on cylinder" option, it does make me wonder who's right..
[11:36] <nino`> who's right (GpartEd) that did the formatting or sfdisk that did the checking
[11:37] <Saeryn> nino`: Like I said, Search Engine and Forum Search will probably help more :)
[11:37] <basz> how would I see which version from what repository I have installed, with apt-get?
[11:37] <Saeryn> I'll do a quick check since things have slowndown.
[11:38] <nino`> Saeryn - thanks - will look again ...
[11:38] <Pici> basz: apt-cache policy packagename
[11:38] <Saeryn> basz: man apt-get
[11:38] <crazybrain> guys didnt workin out :(
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> details.... are handy
[11:39] <compdoc> nino`, current versions of gparted create partitions correctly if you use the defaults
[11:40] <crazybrain> Dr_Willis: it is not workin
[11:40] <basz> So why would apt-get upgrade upgrade to something more recent when I seem to have the 'official' packages? https://gist.github.com/2874514
[11:40] <basz> s/would/wouldn't
[11:41] <Pici> basz: What do you expect to be upgraded to?
[11:41] <nino`> compdoc: thanks - I'm currently backing it up prior to reformatting - annoyingly it's a 1T drive with lots of stuff on it
[11:41] <compdoc> nino`, great idea
[11:41] <basz> Pici: php5.3.3+
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> crazybrain:  so what is it doing exactly?
[11:42] <Pici> basz: We don't have php 5.3.3 in lucid.
[11:42] <Pici> !latest | basz
[11:43] <crazybrain> Dr_Willis: i mean the video i select to play is not playing its actually is something like in pause even i clicked on play
[11:43] <Saeryn> crazybrain: Try VLC or mplayer
[11:44] <crazybrain> Saeryn: i installed VLC but the audio is not workin in it
[11:44] <Saeryn> mplayer output should tell you if you have a codec issue.
[11:44] <crazybrain> Saeryn: it plays video but audio is not workin
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> play with the audio out in vlc crazybrain
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> in its settings
[11:45] <crazybrain> lemme try
[11:45] <nino`> basz: I was wondering about the packages. This has bitten me recently trying to use Git-Annex, which wasn't in the 10.04 repos. I thought that Mint used Ubuntu packages so they'd would track. Isn't this so?
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> pulse, alsa, default. ive had to try all 3
[11:45] <basz> Pici: thx! Which brings me back o my original question. If I do want PHP5.3.3+ I searched online, but found various solutions. Which one is considered a safe (but unsupported) version?
[11:46] <basz> nino: I have no idea.
[11:46] <Pici> basz: the best way would be via a PPA or a .deb made for Ubuntu.
[11:46] <nino`> One other consideration is that in New Zealand there are local ubunto mirrors but not linuxMint ones, so updating speed for Ubuntu are faster ...
[11:46] <acicula> basz: why not use the latest patched 5.3.x version of php?
[11:46] <Pici> nino`: We don't have git-annex in 10.04: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1024893/
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> ive never seen much reason to perfer mint to ubuntu
[11:47] <crazybrain> Dr_Willis: i think there is a driver issue in VLC when i clicked audio the "AUDIO DEVICE" option is blank in that
[11:47] <basz> acicula: ? you mean 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.15? Because I need 5.3.3 minimum
[11:48] <miss_ubuntu> hello guyz , app for noting down tasks in ubuntu ... someone was asking about it yesterday
[11:48] <nino`> I'm heading towards Ubuntu+Cinnamon but thought I'd ask the wisdom of the assembled masses :-)
[11:48] <miss_ubuntu> Saeryn thanks for response
[11:48] <acicula> basz: which ubuntu release are you on?
[11:48] <miss_ubuntu> Saeryn thanks for response but what exactly do u mean?
[11:48] <basz> 10.04 LTS
[11:48] <Pici> miss_ubuntu: tomboy
[11:48] <crazybrain> Dr_Willis: i mean "AUDIO DEVICE" option is blank
[11:49] <acicula> basz: you could try using the packaged ver
[11:49] <acicula> version for 11.04, but you may/will run into problems doing that, is upgrading to 12.04 lts an option?
[11:49] <miss_ubuntu> thanks Pici let me check
[11:49] <acicula> or failing that waiting for 12.04.1?
[11:50] <jrib> basz: why do you need that version specifically?
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> nino`  cinnamon is nice, but i switched back to classic
[11:50] <basz> acicula: upgrading the OS seems much more difficult then upgrading PHP? Never done that and it is in production… Not sure I want to take that route (yet)
[11:50] <Church> i'd switch to cinnamon, if they ever port global app menu to it :/
[11:50] <basz> jrib: ZendFramework2 (beta)
[11:51] <Church> some complained about it since introduction @ubuntu once, but i somehow god used to it
[11:51] <Church> s/god/got/
[11:51] <crazybrain> Dr_Willis: ?
[11:52] <acicula> basz: yes it is, thats why i asked, definitly not a good idea to do live upgrades on production servers. Yet if you want to use a packaged version of php on an older ubuntu version you risk compatibility problems.
[11:52] <nino`> MonkeyDust - 12.04 would've already be installed if it wasn't for the "partition beyond the end of the drive problem". I've got it on a netbook already and quite like it.
[11:53] <basz> I'm sure some of you must have installed PHP5.3.3 on 10.04?
[11:53] <basz> succesfully
[11:53] <acicula> basz: get a test server, install the 11.04 packages and see if it still works?
[11:54] <yhy> who can tell me how to debug the execve  function? I mean i fail in process execve ?
[11:54] <Saeryn> basz: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-upgrade-php5-3-2-to-php5-3-3-in-ubuntu-941256/
[11:54] <acicula> basz: or look for a ppa php package for php on launchpad
[11:54] <basz> Just asking for the right directions - as undoing might be difficult too? (Youv'e guessed it, i am not an expert ubuntu admin)
[11:55] <basz> thanks I'l look at those tips
[11:55] <acicula> basz: try with a test server, reverting can be difficult, software revisions are more or less locked per individual release, just backports/fixes and rarely a complete update
[11:57] <Ormie> i want to replace unity with cairo dock
[12:00] <andygraybeal> hey guys, i'm doing and apt-get dist-upgrade and i'm getting:   Unable to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]  -- you think this will clear up later today?
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  install cairo, logout, select cairo, login
[12:01] <Saeryn> andygraybeal: I can ping the host.
[12:01] <acicula> andygraybeal: you can set a different mirror instead of the main us perhaps?
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  i tried it for testing purposes
[12:02] <andygraybeal> Saeryn, okay.  acicula, maybe that would be good!  i would need to learn.
[12:02] <matanya> why do I get : bzr dh-make hello-2.7 hello-2.7.tar.gz  bzr: ERROR: command 'dh-make' requires argument TARBALL
[12:04] <Saeryn> andygraybeal: Traceroute and Ping are fine, so I'd switch mirrors. Maybe try one closer to your geographical location.
[12:04] <AngrySpam98|away> Why does it say "no space left on device" when i try to edit ANYTHING? and dont say "because there is no space on the device! :3" because there was 2 hours ago, and i havent changed a thing -.-
[12:04] <andygraybeal> Saeryn, okay, cool. I'm in Ohio, USA.  How do i find a closer mirror and how to i change mirrors?
[12:05] <matanya> anyone with packaging experience ?
[12:05] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: First off, relax :) Everything will be fine. Second in a terminal "df -h"
[12:05] <fidel> AngrySpam98|away: checked with df?
[12:05] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: df -h will return disk free in human readable format with a percentage of use next to the device name.
[12:06] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, now?
[12:06] <matanya> type it in terminal
[12:06] <fidel> AngrySpam98|away: open a terminal and enter the cmd provided by Saeryn or me
[12:06] <Saeryn> "df -h" in a terminal.  You get what error when you try to perform what operating? :)
[12:13] <Saeryn> operation*
[12:13] <Saeryn> We'll start from the beginning :)
[12:14] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, i try to edit this file.  When i save changes i get: "Error writing to file: no space left on device"
[12:14] <fidel> AngrySpam98|away: what file?
[12:14] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: No USB plugged in? What file and where is it locatd?
[12:15] <matanya> AngrySpam98|away: please type pwd in terminal
[12:15] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, the file is on my Desktop.
[12:15] <June_sixth> Is everybody ready for IPV6 Lauch tomorrow!? Woot woot, let's have a party everybody! June 6th will be a great day in the history of TEH INTENETZ!
[12:15] <fidel> AngrySpam98|away: and please show us the output of the 'df' command if you havent done that already
[12:15] <Saeryn> June_sixth: Off-Topic.
[12:15] <fidel> !ot > June_sixth
[12:16] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, I have tried the cairo dock.
[12:16] <cache_za> what ipv6 launch?
[12:16] <cache_za> :/
[12:16] <Ormie> Now what?
[12:16] <Ormie> !out > Ormie
[12:16] <fidel> Ormie: what is your target?
[12:16] <Saeryn> cache_za: Not the right place to ask :)
[12:16] <Pici> !ot | cache_za
[12:16] <nicobrevin> !guidelines
[12:16] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Ok, one second.
[12:16] <Ormie> !ot | Ormie
[12:17] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: I want you to open a terminal and type "df -h" without the quotes again, copy and paste that into a pastefil at http://paste.ubuntu.com and link me.
[12:17] <Ormie> fidel, Cairo Dock offers another window manager, I want to uninstall unity and use cairo dock's  window manager.
[12:17] <AngrySpam98|away> fidel, the output is at http://pastebin.com/UxNs8DQE
[12:18] <gille> eee
[12:18] <Saeryn> Saeryn* AngrySpam98|away :P
[12:18] <Saeryn> Ok will look.
[12:18] <fidel> Ormie: since when does cairo dock comes with its one window-manager?
[12:18] <matanya> /dev/loop0       17G   17G   31K 100% /
[12:18] <June_sixth> Oh, you didn't hear? Google and like are announcing IPV6 as a world wide event, be there (or shall I say "aware") or be square, cache_za!
[12:18] <Ormie> fidel, version 3
[12:18] <Pici> June_sixth: Again, this channel is for Ubuntu support.  If you want to chat about ipv6 or nearly anything, theres #ubuntu-offtopic.
[12:19] <matanya> did you mount your desktop to / AngrySpam98|away
[12:19] <Saeryn> matanya: I don't think he'll understand your question
[12:19] <AngrySpam98|away> matanya, i dont even know how to do that.
[12:19] <June_sixth> Pici, yea yea, I'm walkin, adios guys!
[12:19] <fidel> Ormie: still - even if it does - why wouldnt you need to remove unity?
[12:19] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Is this a LiveCD?
[12:19] <fidel> Ormie: you should be able to define the session at your login-manager
[12:20] <matanya> Saeryn: yeah, youv'e got a pont
[12:20] <matanya> *point
[12:20] <Ormie> fidel, I use cairo dock and which means: Unity is waste of space in the hard disk drive.
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> fidel  he has limited space
[12:20] <fidel> MonkeyDust: thanks for that additional bit ;)
[12:20] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, uhmm...sure? ;D
[12:20] <Ormie> gossip
[12:20] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Are you booting from a CD?
[12:21] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, i dont have a CD in my computer, so im saying no
[12:21] <matanya> ok
[12:21] <fidel> Ormie: maybe not what you are looking for - but 'localepurge' might help free'ing some space as well. even if its just language-related. regarding uninstalling unity itself - noidea - never tried
[12:21] <matanya> did you install ubuntu, AngrySpam98|away ?
[12:21] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Open a terminal and type pwd
[12:22] <AngrySpam98|away> Now what?
[12:22] <Saeryn> What does it say?
[12:22] <Ormie> fidel, i just want to uninstall unity and use cairo dock.
[12:22] <Ormie> Codes?
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: not tried my ubuntu minimal method?
[12:22] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, /home/user
[12:22] <fidel> Ormie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/how-can-you-remove-unity
[12:22] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Is there anything else on your desktop? Any icons you didnt put there?
[12:23] <fidel> first random google hit on your question
[12:23] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, nope.
[12:23] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, ?
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  take fidel 's advice
[12:23] <matanya> AngrySpam98|away: please type:  cd Desktop/; find .
[12:23] <fidel> seems like the expected way - simply removing the package and hope it doesnt break. Personaly i would check if the cairo project has an irc channel as well and ask for more informations about there side ....
[12:24] <nino`> goodnight all
[12:24] <andygraybeal> Saeryn, hey, i didn't change anything, and it worked this time around!
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: install ubuntu minimal, then install the dock. job done
[12:24] <Saeryn> Good!
[12:24] <matanya> better approch
[12:24] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, alright.  Now?
[12:24] <matanya> AngrySpam98|away: please type:  cd Desktop/; find .
[12:24] <matanya> and paste output
[12:25] <AngrySpam98|away> The output is large :0
[12:25] <Ormie> fidel, I've tried that, i used that, i got to the low graphics mode prompt.
[12:25] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[12:25] <fidel> Ormie: try to speak in full sentences - that avoid guessing on the other part
[12:25] <fidel> i dont know what you mean by 'that'
[12:26] <Ormie> fidel, I've tried that method, i got to the low graphics mode prompt.
[12:26] <Ormie> Seriously, dude.
[12:26] <fidel> ok i give up trying to help you - seriously dude ;)
[12:26] <fidel> good luck
[12:26] <matanya> Ormie: that = ?
[12:26] <Saeryn> Ormie: He is only trying to volunteer his time to help you :)
[12:27] <Ormie> HE SAID I'M GUESSING BUT I'M NOT!
[12:27] <Saeryn> Ormie please calm down?
[12:27] <fidel> man you cant even read
[12:27] <Ormie> fidel, REALLY FUNNY.
[12:27] <Saeryn> s/?/./
[12:27] <matanya> read again what he said
[12:27] <fidel> Ormie: i tried to point out that it helps to speak in full sentences - as other users cant look into your head/brain
 Ormie: try to speak in full sentences - that avoid guessing on the other part
 i dont know what you mean by 'that'
[12:28] <fidel> if you shorten up what you think - it might result in guessing on oe or both sides
[12:28] <matanya> so please, what is "that" ?
[12:28] <fidel> ;)
[12:28] <Ormie> hm... sorry, english is not my first language.
[12:28] <phanindraramesh> Saeryn, sorry for the late. I have a network problem. I am now sending the error as a query
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> always fun when you have to play 20 questions to get to the real problem
[12:28] <Saeryn> fidel matanya I think he just misunderstood is all. Ormie, no need to be offended. They are just asking what you meant when you used the word 'that'?
[12:28] <fidel> Dr_Willis: full ack
[12:29] <fidel> Saeryn: yep i knowe - thats why i added those additiona lsentences at the end
[12:29] <phanindraramesh> /bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory
[12:29] <phanindraramesh> make: *** [Makefile] Error 127
[12:29] <fidel> anyway - out now ;)
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> so.. perhaps start over and rephrase the issue
[12:29] <matanya> by fidel
[12:29] <matanya> *bye
[12:29] <Ormie> fidel, that = the solution you gave me.
[12:29] <Ormie> and he is gone!
[12:30] <matanya> you have 1666 people here
[12:30] <d0x> Hi, since today i got this error after i entered the crypt for my hdd: "EXT4-fs (dm-1): group descriptors corrupted!" and "EXT4-fs (dm-1): ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 128 not in gorup (block 698046604)!"
[12:30] <basz> If I want to experiment with 12.04 should I choice 32bit or 64bit? Nevr know what to choose...
[12:30] <Ormie> I wish you know who is typing in IRC.
[12:30] <d0x> after this i'm in initramfs
[12:30] <Ormie> panic.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> basz use=64bit on     64bit hardware
[12:30] <zykotick9> basz: if you need to ask - use 32 ;)
[12:30] <phanindraramesh> Saeryn, I think the process is checking for the config.status file in the home directory instead of the current directory
[12:30] <matanya> basz: how much ram do you have?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> even with 4gb or less. i say use 64bit os on 64bit hardware
[12:31] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, http://pastebin.com/5Nt2RYU5
[12:31] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Please use http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[12:31] <basz> It's going on a Linode instance (512, for now)
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> is a linode even 64bit hardware?
[12:32] <phanindraramesh> Saeryn, I think the process is checking for the config.status file in the home directory instead of the current directory
[12:32] <basz> well they offer distress, so I guess so
[12:32] <zykotick9> basz: with 512MB RAM you certainly want 32bit
[12:32] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, sorry, i prefer pastebin, but ok.  Are you fine with that link for now or do i have to resend?
[12:32] <basz> s/distress/distros
[12:32] <basz> ok thx
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> basz:     this some sort of vm/vpn?
[12:33] <Ormie> actually he is right.
[12:33] <Wolfsherz> why tell people which pastebin to use?
[12:33] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: please resend :)
[12:33] <basz> Dr_Willis: VPS linode.com, there great
[12:33] <AngrySpam98|away> rawrr
[12:33] <Saeryn> Wolfsherz: Because I have issues with Pastebin :) It's a personal thing.
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> basz:  id hav to say use 32bit then. because its not 'real' hardware ;)
[12:35] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1024937/
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> i need to look into vpn/vps/stuff someday
[12:35] <Saeryn> Thank you AngrySpam98|away
[12:35] <Saeryn> Actually AngrySpam98|away Did I ask for this or matanya?
[12:36] <matanya> I did
[12:36] <Saeryn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1024937/
[12:36] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, idk i was kinda tuning matanya out...
[12:37] <AngrySpam98|away> yea it was matanya.
[12:38] <saloxin> every tmie I log in to gnome-shell I get an extra set of menus? now the application menu is out of my screen. anyone seen anything like it?
[12:38] <AngrySpam98|away> Saeryn, what do I do now?
[12:38] <Snowie> saloxin, no, but gnome does do some odd things. i would reset gnome
[12:40] <saloxin> Snowie: any tips on reset? in the old days I'd kill my .gnome2 directory, but I guess thats not so anymore
[12:41] <Saeryn> AngrySpam98|away: Ask matanya I have an emergency I have to take care of :)
[12:41] <matanya> AngrySpam98|away: delete some stuff
[12:41] <AngrySpam98|away> -.-
[12:41] <AngrySpam98|away> i liked Saeryn better xD
[12:42] <matanya> I can give you better answers, but you might not understand, sorry
[12:42] <Snowie> saloxin, it's definately gnome and not unity?
[12:42] <AngrySpam98|away> brb
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> Snowie  unity = gnome3 + eyecandy
[12:43] <Snowie> MonkeyDust, fair enough. so gnome and unity are different. just askin. do you know the answer he's after?
[12:43] <saloxin> Snowie: yes, nstalled gnome-shell, and got a separate "Gnome" entry in the menu
[12:44] <Snowie> saloxin, try http://askubuntu.com/questions/125662/how-to-reset-gnome-panel
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> !unity
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> Snowie  havent followed
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> gnome-shell is a shell for gnome
[12:45] <Falkon> Dr_Willis hello
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[12:45] <AngrySpam98> matanya, i fixed it :0
[12:45] <matanya> good, how?
[12:45] <matanya> see better with me :P
[12:45] <AngrySpam98> i closed out of everything i had opened :P
[12:45] <Snowie> fair enough, im out, im clearly wrong here, but so far i dont see the right answer for saloxin
[12:46] <saloxin> !notunity
[12:46] <cycl0ne> Hi I got a problem with with setting DNS address in ubuntu using Automatic (PPP) Addresses only

[12:49] <Ormie> I GOT CAIRO DOCK AS MY DEFAULT WINDOW MANAGER.
[12:49] <Ormie> I CAN'T CHILL OUT!
[12:49] <phanindraramesh> hai all, I am trying to install autotrace with a patch. aclocal, automake, ./configure went smooth. but make is giving the error "cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile
[12:49] <phanindraramesh> /bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory
[12:49] <phanindraramesh> make: *** [Makefile] Error 127
[12:49] <phanindraramesh> ". what shall I do? help please
[12:49] <gry> Ormie: oops caps off please, i was half alseep :)
[12:49] <chu> Can you please not shout in caps Ormie.
[12:50] <Ormie> oh, um... Sorry, I was too excited.
[12:50] <gry> good news!
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> !yay| Ormie
[12:50] <Ormie> Cool!
[12:51] <Ormie> !yay
[12:51] <Ormie> hm...
[12:52] <llutz> phanindraramesh: "cd  " brings you into your $HOME, are you sure your command is correct? issue "/bin/bash ./config.status Makefile"  inside the dir holding your source-stuff
[12:54] <MickStep> anyone know of a ppa with the nvidia 173 in it for 12.04?
[12:54] <Ormie> oh no, it crashed from time to time, but don't worry no need for help.
[12:54] <Ormie> I'm just gonna go back and use unity.
[12:54]  * Ormie cries...
[12:54] <phanindraramesh> llutz, config.status: creating Makefile          this is the output of  /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile
[12:55] <phanindraramesh> llutz, does that mean that the make run successfully?
[12:56] <llutz> if theres no error, i'd guess:yes phanindraramesh
[12:56] <zykotick9> phanindraramesh: what are you compiling?
[12:56] <phanindraramesh> zykotick9, I am compiling autotrace
[12:56] <zykotick9> !info autotrace | you mean like this one?
[12:57] <Zally666> Is prezice 12 ?
[12:58] <Pici> Zally666: 12.04
[12:58] <Zally666> Or 13
[12:58] <zykotick9> !12.04
[12:58] <Pici> Zally666: The release numbers are the YEAR.MONTH of release.
[12:58] <phanindraramesh> llutz, what is the file that is issuing the command "cd ". is it Makefile or configure?
[12:58] <Zally666> Kool
[12:58] <llutz> phanindraramesh: you want to read about real bash basics (what "cd" does)
[12:59] <MonkeyDust> Zally666  12 is the year 2012
[12:59] <Zally666> So how do i fix analog pal tv on precize?
[13:00] <phanindraramesh> llutz, I know what cd does. I am encountering the problem when I try to run make. So, I want to fix this issue. for that I suppose that I need to edit some file. I want to know the file that I have to edit. I didnot externally issue the command "cd ".
[13:02] <llutz> phanindraramesh: you issued "cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile"   and that was wrong. "cd" without path changes into your $HOME, which is not the place holding the files you call after the "&&"
[13:02] <ISOcrates> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and my /dev/sda1 keeps filling up completely without me doing anything. Cleared out 20GB yesterday and today it's back to 100% used. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I do have an external HD mounted at boot
[13:03] <llutz> phanindraramesh: so i suggest again you read about some bash-basics before you try to compile stuff in the future. also zykotick9s question is still open: WHY do you compile it, you can get if from repo
[13:03] <Zally666> Cd | more here
[13:03] <schnuffle> ISOcrates:  check which program is causing  disk IO
[13:03] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: cool how do i do that?
[13:04] <zykotick9> !10.10 | ISOcrates
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> ISOcrates  10.10 is no longer valid or supported
[13:04] <schnuffle> ISOcrates:  first where is all that data created /tmp /var/log ....?
[13:05] <schnuffle> ISOcrates:  iotop can do that
[13:05] <compdoc> ISOcrates, filling up with what?
[13:05] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: ok thanks. i don't even know what kind of data is filling up the drive, that's my problem
[13:06] <aboudreault> anyone could give me some hint about how to install ubuntu on that setup: I have 2 disks of 3TB. Wanted to create an simple array raid1 and setup my lvm. It fails. 2tb is too big. I tried to enable uefi in the bios, same issue.
[13:06] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: but if you deleted it, at least you should know what has been deleted by you
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> !raid
[13:06] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: i only deleted some .isos that i had downloaded, but even then i had plenty of space left
[13:07] <strk> zykotick9: update: sudo nm-applet works (ie: installs in the notification area)
[13:07] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: last night i had 20GB free, didn't touch anything, now it's full
[13:07] <strk> dunno why it takes root perms to work, should it ?
[13:07] <zykotick9> strk: nm-applet shouldn't require sudo - and for gui apps use "gksudo foo" instead
[13:07] <schnuffle> ISOcrates:  what gives you a sudo du -hs /
[13:08] <zykotick9> schnuffle: you shouldn't be offering support for EOL releases...
[13:08] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: running it now
[13:08] <schnuffle> okay then: my advice upgrade to a recent reales :)
[13:08] <martinphone> i need the command to scan from the shell
[13:08] <martinphone> I lost it
[13:08] <basz> any good ispconfig alternative?
[13:09] <MonkeyDust> martinphone  try scanimage -L
[13:09] <geirha> martinphone: scan what?
[13:09] <schnuffle> martinphone: scanimage maybe?
[13:09] <strk> zykotick9: still, shouldn't require gksudo, should it ?
[13:09] <zykotick9> strk: no it shouldn't
[13:09] <martinphone> the one Im looking for had a parameter for time between scannings
[13:09] <sacarlson> basz: ispconfig?  like for wifi setup?
[13:09] <strk> ideas about what could I look at to figure out _why_ it does ?
[13:10] <geirha> strk: Once you've run something as sudo once, you risk it having created files in your homedir, owner by root
[13:10] <schnuffle> strk: check to which group your user needs to be added ( maybe netdev?)
[13:10] <zykotick9> strk: i'd verify that your uses is in proper groups, use "groups" in a terminal for a list of what groups you are in.  sorry i don't know what group(s) you'd need for nm.
[13:10] <geirha> strk: make sure all files in your homedir are owned by you.  sudo chown -R "$USER:" ~
[13:11] <basz> sacarlson: ispconfig is an control panel for servers, allowing easy configuration of services.
[13:11] <MonkeyDust> martinphone  sleep generates a pause
[13:11] <smith__> I try to install Mail::POP3 via cpan, but it makes an error "make[1]: *** [mpopdstats] Error 2" ....  anyone an idea?
[13:12] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/cS7fG9Xg
[13:12] <phanindraramesh> llutz, I want to install metatype which need a patch to be applied to autotrace. Thats why I am doing that
[13:12] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: Ooops it should be sudo du -hs /*
[13:13] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: haha ok
[13:13] <phanindraramesh> zykotick9, , I want to install metatype which need a patch to be applied to autotrace. Thats why I am doing that
[13:13] <geirha> ISOcrates: sudo du -hx --max-depth=1 /
[13:13] <ISOcrates> ok
[13:13] <geirha> that limits the command to only show disk usage of that one filesystem
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ISOcrates: I'd just run a backup then reinstall with Precise
[13:13] <skorpio11> Hi. I would like to mount a seperate drive for backup purposes. Any Ideas on fstab entry to give user read/write permissions? It's an ext4 partition
[13:14] <geirha> (du -hs /* would show usage for your external drive too, which is irrelevant)
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> skorpio11: defaults will be ok, ext4 will hold the owners and access you set
[13:14] <ISOcrates> ActionParsnip: yeah... i may have to but i'd love to find out what's up first
[13:14] <zykotick9> skorpio11: change the permission on the mount point after it's mounted.  fstab not required for permissions with ext partitions.
[13:14] <schnuffle> skorpio11:  the defaults options will mount it rw
[13:15] <schnuffle> geirha: good point
[13:15] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/5Gs8V4U0
[13:16] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: so you have a lot of stuff in /media
[13:16] <ISOcrates> yes i have an external 2GB drive mounted
[13:16] <ISOcrates> schnuffle: as well as another 3TB internally
[13:16] <sacarlson> skorpio11: if you want a perm mount you might try this cool gui I never tried yet http://pysdm.sourceforge.net/
[13:17] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: So where is your problem if all the data on your disks are as they should be?
[13:17] <geirha> ISOcrates: That disk usage report is not counting the space on your external drives
[13:17] <ISOcrates> i have an 80GB hard drive that ubuntu is installed on.  it doesn't hold much data at all besides the os itself.
[13:17] <ISOcrates> but it's full again
[13:18] <skorpio11> Might be simple to just have a login script that changes permissions then?
[13:18] <geirha> ISOcrates: looks like you've tried to copy over files to your external drive ... while it's not mounted
[13:18] <geirha> ISOcrates: hence it gets stored on / instead
[13:18] <ISOcrates> geirha: oh damn... that's it
[13:18] <skorpio11> Thanks for the link to pysdm might check that out as well
[13:19] <ISOcrates> geirha: i have a cronjob running nightly to rsync to a drive that isn't mounted currently
[13:19] <sacarlson> skorpio11: permisions can be changed in nuatilus also if run from an account with needed privs
[13:19] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: so you should insert a check if the disk is mounted before backing u
[13:20] <ISOcrates> geirha, schnuffle: thanks a bunch
[13:20] <geirha> ISOcrates: add a test in that job; check for a file or directory that will only be there if the drive is mounted. Abort otherwise
[13:20] <schnuffle> you're welcome
[13:20] <ISOcrates> schnuffle, geirha: i will thanks
[13:20] <skorpio11> Thanks. I am looking for something with less hands on as I would like to use this partition for automatic backups with a cron job.
[13:21] <martinphone> im goin with scanimage -b --batch-scan=yes > scanned-file.pnm, but the one I remember started with "for i in..."
[13:21] <martinphone> for scanning images
[13:21] <sacarlson> skorpio11: ya the rsync with cron would be the way to go then
[13:21] <martinphone> if anyone can help
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> skorpio11: could use rsync in a cron job
[13:22] <schnuffle> martinphone:  for  in in ... will interate over something and execute it. something can be a array a directory listing .....
[13:22] <skorpio11> Even with rsync. Wouldn't I still need to have read/write permission?
[13:23] <ISOcrates> geirha, schnuffle: how do i find all those rogue files in / ?  i don't see them there
[13:23] <sacarlson> skorpio11: you would have to have the backup mounted as read/write but can run it with sudo or root
[13:23] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: unmount /media and then recheck if /media is empty
[13:23] <dantix> Hi all, I've launched the dist upgrade from a NX session. The connection broken and I can't connect/resume my session. From the ssh I can see http://pastebin.com/P6pDvNd8 where showed the update-manager running and seems it is asking me for a answer. How can I undo or continue the upgrade to finish?
[13:24] <geirha> ISOcrates: sudo mkdir /tmp/mnt; sudo mount --bind / /tmp/mnt; find /tmp/mnt/media
[13:24] <vidirr_> Has anyone here used Bumblebee to set up a second monitor using the nvidia optimus card's HDMI output?
[13:24] <geirha> ISOcrates: err, or just unmount the external drive like schnuffle says... easier :)
[13:25] <ISOcrates> schnuffle, geirha: ok thanks :)
[13:26] <skorpio11> thanks for all the suggestions
[13:27] <ISOcrates> geirha: i did run that command and a bunch of files showed up... can i just do a rm -rf /tmp/mnt/* to get rid of the extra files?
[13:27] <ISOcrates> geirha: or do i not even need to
[13:28] <geirha> ISOcrates: oh dear, no! /tmp/mnt is your /
[13:28] <ISOcrates> geirha: haha ok that's what i asked
[13:29] <dabbish_> n
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> wowser
[13:29] <geirha> ISOcrates: just unmount any filesystems mounted under /media, and delete from there
[13:29] <ISOcrates> geirha: ok
[13:31] <neo1691> Hello guys, I am on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, whenever i open myunity software it says that unity is running 2d mode, but actually ubuntu is running on 3d mode
[13:31] <dantix> any help please
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> neo1691: if you run:  ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep     is there an output?
[13:32] <neo1691> no
[13:32] <neo1691> ActionParsnip, there is no output
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> neo1691: then you are not using compiz
[13:33] <neo1691> Do i need to install compiz settings manager
[13:33] <Aufwind> I want to run a "cronjob" each 25 hours. But it seems to me, that you can only specify to run daily, monthly, hourly and so on. Is there a workaround for that?
[13:33] <zykotick9> neo1691: looks like you are using unity2d then
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> neo1691: == Unity2d
[13:33] <neo1691> Okay i should install compiz settings manager and get it working right?
[13:33] <geirha> Aufwind: not really. Any particular reason why you can't just run it daily?
[13:35] <neo1691> ActionParsnip, One question? How does terminal commands like that come naturally to you?  So if I start the process daily I have to consider the duration of the process. Since the 24 hours cap kicks in after the last query of the 2500 which takes around half an hour. :-)
[13:36] <zykotick9> schnuffle: "magic man command" love it ;)
[13:36] <geirha> neo1691: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[13:36] <Aufwind> geirha, So I hoped I would be able to start the process in a 25 hours rhytm.
[13:36] <neo1691> geirha, Thanks a lot
[13:37] <neo1691> schnuffle, magic man command, i want it
[13:37] <schnuffle> neo1691: you have it already :)
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> neo1691: experience
[13:37] <ISOcrates> geirha: when i try umount /media/3TB-BACKUP, it says "umount: /media/3TB-BACKUP/: not mounted"
[13:38] <neo1691> ActionParsnip, Okay :)
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> neo1691: its like stuff I'm sure you do/did in Windows
[13:38] <geirha> ISOcrates: Then any files inside will be on /, not your external drive. Also  df -h   will list all mounted filesystems
[13:38] <schnuffle> ISOcrates: And you have data in /media/3TB-BACKUP? That means that is the data that stuffs your harddisk
[13:38] <neo1691> ActionParsnip, I want to stop using windows, Linux is the way to live for me now
[13:39] <ISOcrates> schnuffle, geirha: i have tons of data in /media/3TB-BACKUP, but it's not plugged in right now. but the cronjob was still running at night
[13:39] <geirha> Aufwind: well, I don't see why you can't run it daily then..?
[13:40] <ali_> hey
[13:40] <geirha> Aufwind: Anyway, instead of running it from cron, run it during boot, and have it loop infinitely, sleeping 24 hours between each run
[13:40] <Aufwind> geirha, Well sleep is coo. Why haven't I thought of that. Thanks a lot!
[13:41] <ali_> hello !
[13:41] <geirha> Aufwind: Possibly writing the starting timestamp to a file, so you can make sure 24 hours has passed next time you boot
[13:41] <schnuffle> Aufwind: You can use the at command
[13:42] <Aufwind> schnuffle, at?
[13:43] <Aufwind> schnuffle That would be a pain to google. :D
[13:43] <melkor> Okay, I want to use a printer and before I start printing I want to check the ip adress can I do this?
[13:43] <Aufwind> schnuffle Thanks :D
[13:43] <schnuffle> Aufwind:  http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_at.htm, checked but the syntax doesn't allow 25h neither
[13:44] <Aufwind> schnuffle, That is a pitty. I will use sleep then. Thanks anyway!
[13:45] <schnuffle> Aufwind:  found clockwork which understands "every 25h" , https://github.com/adamwiggins/clockwork
[13:47] <geirha> schnuffle: at now + 25 hours << 'EOF' ... but I'd just go for an infinite loop and sleep myself
[13:48] <geirha> schnuffle and Aufwind I meant ^
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> infinite sleep....   sounds good. ;)
[13:48] <melkor> hey this is great, found the printer, printed first try. No how do I look at the settings so I can print the way I want it to?
[13:48] <geirha> Dr_Willis: the loop, not the sleep :P
[13:49] <kasun_> hi all, I faced an issue when I'm updating (not upgrade!) my Ubuntu 11.10. I tend to update bi-weekly. When you do it today, I faced with an issue.
[13:49] <kasun_> Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N)
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> melkor:  printer config tool. or the cups web interface
[13:49] <schnuffle> Aufwind:  And then I found whenjobs http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/whenjobs/whenjobs.txt
[13:50] <kasun_> the update window is saying 'Configuring linux-image-3.0.0-20-generic'
[13:50] <kasun_> any help is much appreciated
[13:50] <kasun_> I'm confused because GRUB 2 doesn't need a menu.lst, does it?
[13:50] <legoff> !unity
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> menu.lst is for grub1 i thought. how are you using grub1 om 11.10
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> grub2 has totally different config files
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> kasun_: no it uses config files then generates grub.cfg
[13:52] <Aufwind> schnuffle, geirha Thank you very much for your effort!
[13:52] <schnuffle> you're welcome
[13:52] <kasun_> ActionParsnip, yea... even the doc says that. Any idea why this happens? I'm worried because I might not be able to login due to this.
[13:52] <schnuffle> kasun_:  checked which grub you have installed right now?
[13:53] <kasun_> Dr_Willis, yes, im at lost
[13:53] <kasun_> schnuffle, um... how can that be done?
[13:53] <schnuffle> kasun_:  sudo dpkg -l | grep grub
[13:54] <kasun_> on it
[13:54] <melkor> Dr_Willis: I don't see it in the terminal nor does it come up with apt-get install.
[13:54] <kasun_> there are four lines.
[13:54] <kasun_> ii  grub                                   0.97-29ubuntu64                         GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version)
[13:54] <kasun_> ii  grub-common                            1.99-12ubuntu5                          GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
[13:54] <kasun_> rc  grub-pc                                1.99-12ubuntu5                          GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)
[13:54] <kasun_> ii  grub-pc-bin                            1.99-12ubuntu5                          GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS binaries)
[13:54] <FloodBot1> kasun_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:54] <kasun_> schnuffle, ^^
[13:54] <schnuffle> kasun_:  use pastebinit to paste more then one line
[13:55] <kasun_> schnuffle, yes, im sorry... :(
[13:55] <schnuffle> kasun_: So grub2 has been deleted and grub1 has been installed
[13:55] <kasun_> omg
[13:56] <promptcommand> i cannot install ubu12.04 via preseed from a local server. does anyone knows a workaround? #659632
[13:56] <schnuffle> kasun_:  normally you should reinstall grub-pc which should replace grub
[13:56] <schnuffle> kasun_:  But I'm not sure on the side effects it could have on your system
[13:56] <kasun_> i see
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> kasun_: sudo dpkg -P grub-pc; sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc
[13:57] <kasun_> schnuffle, for now, shall I just go and say yes for the prompt?
[13:58] <schnuffle> kasun_: I would stop the update, do what ActionParsnip told you and then restart the update. Just don't reboot before being finished
[13:58] <Aufwind> schnuffle, geirha Just to make sure I understand the at command correctly (afraid of breaking my process here). This command at -f command.sh now + 72 minutes I found on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/a/745927/641514) says that if I start my script like that, it will run now and in 72 minutes and in 144 minutes and so on? Infinitly?
[13:58] <kasun_> schnuffle, ok, great
[13:58] <geirha> Aufwind: No, only once
[13:58] <kasun_> ActionParsnip, as schnuffle said, would there be side effects?
[13:58] <Aufwind> geirha, So now and in 72 minutes?
[13:59] <geirha> Aufwind: So your script would have to re-add itself with that same at command
[13:59] <geothomac> Does ubuntu 12.04 support ipv6?
[13:59] <geirha> Aufwind: No, 72 minutes from now
[13:59] <Aufwind> geirha, Ah that is cool I think. That helps!
[13:59] <schnuffle> geothomac: yes
[13:59] <Aufwind> geirha, Thanks!
[14:00] <ultrixx> Aufwind: why don't you let your script get called hourly and check from within your script, whether 25 hours have passed or not?
[14:00] <borisb> Anyone knows how to get Thinkpad's trackpoint middle-button scrolling working on precise? It worked OOTB, but then I upgraded via X edgers PPA because of latest nouveau
[14:00] <geothomac> thank u dude Aufwind
[14:01] <geirha> Aufwind: at -l will list jobs scheduled to be run
[14:01] <schnuffle> kasun_:  Hard to tell without knowing why you ran into problems in the first place
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> kasun_: may want to uninstal the legacy grub
[14:02] <Aufwind> geoffb, You meant someone else I assume? :-)
[14:02] <Aufwind> geothomac, ^
[14:02] <Aufwind> geoffb, sorry... ^
[14:02] <melkor> Dr_Willis: got it system-config-printer-??? thanks for the heads up.
[14:02] <kasun_> schnuffle, yea... may be the latest version in a package has an issue
[14:02] <Aufwind> ultrixx, That would be a workaoround.
[14:02] <schnuffle> kasun_:  But up to know  breaking the update process to restart it after having made changes nether posed any problem to me
[14:03] <Aufwind> ultrixx, I will try what works best
[14:03] <Aufwind> Thank you all!
[14:03] <schnuffle> Aufwind: he meant me :)
[14:03] <Aufwind> schnuffle, :D
[14:03] <schnuffle> s/nether/never/
[14:03] <kasun_> schnuffle, oh well.. seems like the Cancel button is disabled. (I did this via UI)
[14:04] <schnuffle> kasun_: Kill the process on the console and then restart the update from the console after having made your changes
[14:06] <kasun_> schnuffle, ok, i'll try
[14:06] <shahriyarguliyev> hi
[14:06] <suttiwit> Gah!
[14:06] <suttiwit> YEAH!
[14:06] <kasun_> schnuffle, would it matter if I have legacy GRUB? I just want a working system.
[14:07] <shahriyarguliyev> who is linux admin
[14:07] <shahriyarguliyev> i've a Q
[14:07] <andygraybeal> i'm having a space issue, i try to run an apt-get dist-upgrade and it says i'm out of diskspace.  i do a df -h and i have plenty of diskspace (or from what I understand) here are the details: http://pastebin.com/CY6P5QFX  thank you for your efforts!
[14:07] <schnuffle> !anyone | shahriyarguliyev
[14:08] <schnuffle> kasun_: I don't know what is the default grub version for your ubuntu version
[14:08] <Ormie> Hi, I'm installing a program. Should I use the default or precise-backports?
[14:08] <shahriyarguliyev> im newbie
[14:08] <Ormie> newbie :D
[14:09] <schnuffle> Ormie: If the app from the normal repo satisfies you then just use it
[14:09] <shahriyarguliyev> so who can answer my Q?
[14:09] <Ormie> What is your question?
[14:09] <schnuffle> Ormie: But i've backports mostly activated
[14:09] <kasun_> schnuffle, since this is 11.10, it's GRUB2. I already have  /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[14:09] <Ormie> schnuffle, Sorry, don't understand you.
[14:09] <helion> how to install ubuntu from debian without usb/cd, but directly from boot?
[14:10] <Ormie> schnuffle, what do you mean?
[14:10] <schnuffle> kasun_: So I would go for grub-pc
[14:10] <shahriyarguliyev> once I installed Ubuntu from official site through WUBI installer
[14:10] <schnuffle> Ormie: I mean you asked use backports or not. I told you if the app from the standard repo does the job, then use it
[14:10] <shahriyarguliyev> then W7 crashed but ubuntu still works. Now i wanna install ubuntu permanently
[14:12] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: Backup your data and  do a clean install is my advice. Do you want to keep a Windows install?
[14:12] <Ormie> shaahriyarguliyev, It's a big question, I know how to do that, but I don't know how to explain.
[14:12]  * legoff loves ubuntu
[14:12]  * Ormie loves ubuntu but doesn't like unity.
[14:12] <freakolowsky> aloha ... can somone tell me where unity copiz settings are saved gconf or dconf ... because somehow they're being ignored
[14:12] <schnuffle> Ormie: You can use the <tab> autocomplete for user names
[14:12] <fasta> What's the name of the application which controls whether or not proprietary drivers should be used?
[14:13] <shahriyarguliyev> Nope. only ubuntu
[14:13] <kasun_> schnuffle, ActionParsnip, thanks guys, I'll try this
[14:13] <gawshee> Hello. Recently, I've downloaded the 5th Humble Bundle, installed Swords and Sworcery from the Software Center and after the download has finished the game won't start. ;___;
[14:13] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: then get a install CD/DVD/USB, backup your important data, recheck your backup, backup a third time, install ubuntu
[14:13] <Ormie> schnuffle, my client shows me the whole list of possiblities instead of what qwebric does.
[14:14] <kasun_> I have a amd 64. seems legacy doesn't work in it
[14:14] <Snowie> hi all. anyone successfully coverting files or transcoding from ubuntu to xbox?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: install Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Kubuntu and it won't be installed.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Snowie: depends what the xbox can play
[14:15] <Snowie> ActionParsnip, very specific avi's. never had much luck with it really
[14:15] <resno> unity isnt loading anymore, where can i start to figure the oissue?
[14:16] <shahriyarguliyev> i can do that, but I want to be sure that if I create a Removable INSTALLER onto current system with "Startup DIsk Creator" it won't clean my data in D: disk
[14:16] <Snowie> ActionParsnip, been diggin at it for a while, cant really find a solid solution
[14:16] <shahriyarguliyev> since i installed wubi to C: disk.
[14:16] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: how is your harddisk pratitionend?
[14:17] <resno> right now, ubuntu is booting straight into cli login. should i just reset unity and compiz?
[14:17] <Snowie> converting an mp4 to avi, avconv fails to run at all, and ffmpeg encounters an error that seams related to a bug. any alternatives?
[14:17] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: anyway so you want to install it on c:? Right?
[14:17] <shahriyarguliyev> nah. but it's just like a application into WIndows
[14:17] <ingimarsson> hi
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Snowie: could go for MPEG, most junk can play that
[14:18] <shahriyarguliyev> yes, on C:, but I dont wanna take risk to remove my data on D:
[14:18] <Snowie> ActionParsnip, lol, correct, i think that's the xbox's way of saying it doesnt like to be called junk. it's fussy as
[14:18] <Captain_Proton> resno, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[14:18] <gawshee> Bought Humble Bundle, installed Swords and Sworcery from the Software Center and  now it wont't start. Using Ubuntu 11.10.
[14:18] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: to be risk free as I told you, make a backup. In the install menu you should get the option to replace Windows, which normally won't touch the second partition
[14:18] <gawshee> How do I fix it?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> gawshee: do other games run ok, like super tux cart?
[14:19] <resno> Captain_Proton: then use sudo serivce lightdm restart to bring it back?
[14:19] <schnuffle> gawshee: have you tried to start it from the command line to see what errors occured?
[14:19] <imachine> hello
[14:19] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: how can I install easily? with usb stick
[14:19] <gawshee> I don't know how to start it from the terminal.
[14:20] <Captain_Proton> resno, after you reconfig reboot and see if it start correctly
[14:20] <imachine> is it possible to set up Ubuntu 12.04 so it pulls upgrades automatically, but within specified hours?
[14:20] <imachine> I'm on GSM and have a data limit during the day, but I can browse freely at night.
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> imachine: sure, just cron the update job
[14:20] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: USB is my prefered way. With xboot,yumi ... you can create a multiboot stick, test different versions and then install the one you like most
[14:20] <imachine> ActionParsnip, yeah, but I'd like it to happen automagically, using the graphical update-manager.
[14:20] <imachine> no go there right ?
[14:21] <resno> Captain_Proton: login still returns me to cli
[14:21] <imachine> ActionParsnip, I have my debian servers cron the updates and pull in critical security upgrades automatically
[14:21] <mgodzilla> mornin'...
[14:21] <imachine> ActionParsnip, I'm just looking for something, you know, Ubuntu-ish.
[14:21] <mgodzilla> screwed up my ubuntu 12.04 install - dual boot w/ winxp.
[14:21] <mgodzilla> how can i get a boot manager up and running after both oses have been installed.
[14:21] <mgodzilla> seperate physical volumes...
[14:21] <schnuffle> imachine: there's cron-apt
[14:21] <imachine> mgodzilla, run from the boot meda and reinstall grub
[14:22] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: uhm, my system is Kubuntu
[14:22] <Snowie> gawshee, have you tried running it from a terminal to see if you get an error
[14:22] <mgodzilla> mmhmm.
[14:22] <pi3ch> my ubuntu setup sometimes freezes and I need to restart, in which log file I can possibly look for problem?
[14:22] <mgodzilla> thanks so much.  i will investigate that avenue :)
[14:22] <gawshee> Snowie: How do I start it from the terminal?
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> imachine: how do you mean? If you can cron the job then why not :). You can use: gksudo gnome-schedule     as a GUI to cron if you want but cron is cron
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> pi3ch: you could check your RAM using the option in Grub too :)
[14:23] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: i've got a STartup DIsk Creator, should I use it?
[14:23] <resno> Captain_Proton: ive tried resetting the xorg.conf but it still gets me no further, im pretty sure an update did this :(
[14:23] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: is it the one that comes with ubuntu?
[14:23] <pi3ch> ActionParsnip: u mean memory test in grub?
[14:23] <Snowie> gawshee, i think this may be your answer mate http://askubuntu.com/questions/145024/sword-and-sworcery-seg-fault
[14:23] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: yes
[14:24] <shahriyarguliyev> i can install recommended app, if u prefer
[14:24] <pi3ch> ActionParsnip: I think there should be issue either with my graphic card / some sort of kernel panic.
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> pi3ch: yes
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> pi3ch: its a good place to start
[14:24] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: no no, that is okay use it. The other tools are just more comfortable and anyway yumi and xboot are windows tools
[14:25] <pi3ch> ActionParsnip: my current setup does not give me an option to select mem test, it start ubuntu stratigh away, is there any way to run mem test durring boot?
[14:26] <schnuffle> pi3ch: Hold the shift key to get the options
[14:26] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: my question is if I create a removable disk to install after restart as it demands, on which  disk it should install auto or it will be asked?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> pi3ch: hold shift at boot and it will
[14:26] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: You will be asked
[14:27] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle:  that is the best anser
[14:27] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: now im sure about it
[14:27] <imachine> ActionParsnip, oh, my bad
[14:27] <pi3ch> schnuffle: cheers, will give a try.
[14:27] <imachine> ActionParsnip, ofc  I can cron the gui ;)
[14:27] <Captain_Proton> resno, does Plymouth start? the purple Ubuntu on boot
[14:27] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle:  how about backups?
[14:27] <resno> Captain_Proton: i see the ubunt loading screening, yes
[14:28] <imachine> I'll just have update-manager run via my local user crontab :-)
[14:28] <Captain_Proton> if you do a startx does the desktp load
[14:28] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: No change on a PC is risk free, so its always good to save important data
[14:28] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: what should I backup? it's FOlders to backup is only "HOme" folder shown.
[14:28] <ska> I'm upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04lts.. sudo do-release-upgrade -d ?
[14:29] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: Only data that is important to you. Your music, pictures ......
[14:29] <Snowie> gawshee, i have heard good things about humble indy bundle. im sure if you contact them and show them that link and explain your having trouble, im sure they can help
[14:29] <Snowie> ska
[14:29] <freakolowsky> FFS ... with every thing i do to make ubuntu run faster ... it gets slower
[14:29] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: in my home folder there are nothing. I kept everything on D: disk
[14:29] <Snowie> ska, i did it via software centre no dramas. mad it alot easier. though with my stack of freetardware, my update was 2g
[14:30] <resno> Captain_Proton: nope, i just see everything thats suppose to load, and then it stalls there
[14:30] <Geothom380> lol
[14:30] <Snowie> ska, sorry, missed your jumping versions. i don't think that's recommended
[14:30] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: can i restore my apps back in new OS?
[14:30] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: Have you any external HD you can save D on? Normally there should be no problem but I don't know your skills and you can destroy D during the partition phase if you use the wrong choice
[14:30] <imachine> ActionParsnip, thanks for the wake up
[14:30] <imachine> lates
[14:31] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: you can reinstall them
[14:31] <ska> Snowie: i'm going LTS to LTS.. should be supported..
[14:31] <Snowie> ska, i though 10.10 was the last lts
[14:31] <Pici> ska: yes, you can go from 10.04 to 12.04 by using do-release-upgrade -d
[14:32] <Pici> ska: when 12.04.1 comes out, you won't need to use -d
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> pi3ch: wouldn't -d go to Quantal?
[14:33] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: I will try
[14:33] <shahriyarguliyev> thanks

If so - any idea what i can try to slightly improve the situation? using some specific flash-ppa/dev-builds from adobe itself or similar?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> ponto: have you checked for bugs?
[14:34] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: btw i will backup anyway, the location is Ubuntu ONe. it's OK?

[14:34] <resno> tasksel? Captain_Proton
[14:34] <mgodzilla> got it.  had to change the boot sequence.  ubuntu volume is no sata0.  and grub kicked in nicely.

[14:35] <mgodzilla> thank again :)
[14:35] <Captain_Proton> resno, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall
[14:35] <fidel> ActionParsnip: for sure - gimme a sec
[14:35] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: what is your offer?
[14:35] <gawshee> Snowie, thank you for the help. Have my internets for a day!

[14:37] <nordle> Hello, anyone else having fun with 12.04 and gstreamer MP3 presets for Rhythmbox  / Sound Juicer?  I ask because gst-inspect lame shows its deprecated, but gst-inspect lamemp3enc has FAR fewer options for encoding mp3's...... just me?
[14:38] <resno> Captain_Proton: done, and no imrpvoement. tried startx and the screen just went black
[14:38] <shahriyarguliyev> schnuffle: agree with you

[14:39] <schnuffle> shahriyarguliyev: I would say mostly easier as installing Windows but it depends on your hardware
[14:40] <nordle> What is really weird, gstreamer site claims that lame is deprecated and not lamemp3enc......
[14:40] <hakermania> shahriyarguliyev, it is very easy nowadays, especially if you have the right hardware
