[00:00] <trism> liox_: my question was asking if you are already using apt-listchanges, in your pastebin it looks like you are
[00:00] <usr13> W4sp: ping -b <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:00] <trism> liox_: and if you are, it just displays the changelog in less, so you can press 'q' to continue with the upgrade
[00:00] <dynesh> W4sp: it says, WARNING: pinging broadcast address
[00:00] <liox_> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163562/
[00:00] <usr13> dynesh: Sure is....
[00:00] <mamece2> Ive set a hotspot in my laptop, to share wireless internet, two different wireless controllers. I have connected my Iphone to the new hotspot but i cant get IP address. plz help
[00:00] <usr13> dynesh: Try <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:01] <trism> liox_: yes, press q there, does it continue with the install/upgrade?
[00:01] <W4sp> usr13: Not every router returns the connected hosts though.
[00:01] <W4sp> brb
[00:01] <usr13> W4sp: I don't know why it would give a warning "pinging boradcast address"  That is ridicilous,  the -b option is for "broadcast"
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> mamece2:  you installed a dhcp server on the laptop?
[00:02] <mamece2> no
[00:02] <dynesh> usr13: same message again
[00:02] <usr13> W4sp: But the router was listed as his default gateway and he could ping the router's IP <IP_ADDRESS>   So he is connected to the network.
[00:02] <usr13>  dynesh But did it ping?
[00:02] <Dr_Willis> mamece2:  so exactly what did 'set a hotspot in my laptop' involve?
[00:03] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: no, i havent, isnt supose to work with the option "share to other computer"
[00:03] <W4sp> usr13: OK, we're connected.
[00:03] <dynesh> usr13 and W4sp: after that it displays PING <IP_ADDRESS>(<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data
[00:03] <usr13> dynesh: Ok, then it is pinging.  So there you go.
[00:03] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: I've created a new wireless connection in Ad-Hoc mode.
[00:03] <dynesh> usr13: is it done?
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> mamece2:  i think ad-hoc is not quite the same as a hotspot.
[00:04] <usr13> dynesh: host av.com   #What does that say?
[00:04] <W4sp> dynesh: You can press Ctrl+c at the same time. IT will end the ping process.
[00:05] <dynesh> usr13: connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[00:05] <usr13> W4sp: So the question remains, where is the nameserver IP? (12.04)
[00:05] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: i looked for it in google and i found that i need to create a hotspot, i followed the instructions and it says i need to set an Ad-Hoc connection.
[00:05] <dynesh> W4sp: thanks for the tip
[00:05] <usr13> ANYONE:  Where is the nameserver IP kept for Ubuntu 12.04?
[00:05] <bzzzz> test
[00:05] <Dr_Willis> mamece2:  you could set a static ip on the phone i guess if its connecting..
[00:06] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: i just want to have internet in my iphone from the laptop, because i dont have enough signal strenght
[00:06] <TJ-> mamece2: Ad-Hoc wireless is a point-to-point connection. Access Points (AP) are managed mode, and you'd need hostapd installing and configuring to operate an AP
[00:06] <usr13> dynesh: What nameserver IP do you have in /etc/resolv.conf  ?
[00:06] <Dr_Willis> # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)  ;)  It used tobe in here..
[00:06] <trism> usr13: /run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf if using the default dnsmasq, network-manager setup
[00:07] <gry> usr13: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:07] <usr13> dynesh: cat /etc/resolv.conf   #Tell us what address follows the line starting with  nameserver
[00:07] <trism> usr13: not that you should edit that, and instead set it in network-manager or /etc/network/interfaces
[00:07] <dynesh> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:07] <_raven> i need a software vision mixer in ubuntu 12.04 - any ideas?
[00:07] <usr13> dynesh: Can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?     ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> _raven:  what does a software vision mixer do?
[00:08] <blahdeblah> Hi.  How can i disable F-keys in byobu?  Commenting out "source $BYOBU_PREFIX/share/byobu/keybindings/common" in ~/.byobu/keybindings has no effect.
[00:08] <dynesh> usr13: destination unreachable
[00:08] <usr13> dynesh: route -n    #What is the gateway IP?
[00:08] <_raven> Dr_Willis mixing video inputs and creating titles/supers
[00:09] <dynesh> usr13: <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:09] <mamece2> Dr_Willis: this could be useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[00:09] <SkippersBoss> about what this time
[00:10] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?   ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:11] <dynesh> usr13: nope
[00:11] <mindbender1> How does pkg-config interact with ubuntu packages
[00:11] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?   ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:11] <TJ-> mamece2: This is a much better guide, and the recommended one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode
[00:11] <mamece2> thanks
[00:12] <mamece2> TJ-: i have an atheros one!
[00:13] <usr13> dynesh: I'm afraid we would need to know more about your friend's network in order to get your connection going.  If <IP_ADDRESS> is not really the gateway IP address, I don't konw what is.  What address does wlan0 show?   ifconfig wlan0
[00:13] <xperiamaniac> need to download wubi for 11.04
[00:14] <W4sp> dynesh: usr13: What is the result of the most recent ping?
[00:14] <TJ-> mamece2: I run an Ubuntu server here configured as the access point, it was quick to set up
[00:14] <xangua> xperiamaniac: need 11.04 for something¿ it will have no longer support in two months
[00:14] <xperiamaniac> dats fine
[00:15] <xperiamaniac> just wanna check how it looks and feels
[00:15] <xperiamaniac> just comparing diff versions of ubuntu
[00:15] <creftos> I've been having issues with telepathy-idle. I keep getting an error message popping up in gnome. How do I figure out what's wrong?
[00:15] <mamece2> TJ-: so you can set a wireless network and share internet? i want to have internet through my external wireless dongle and send internet to my ihpone thought the internal wifi card
[00:15] <creftos> ie. are there logs I can check?
[00:16] <usr13> dynesh: Are you still with us?
[00:16] <TJ-> mamece2: That's exactly how its used here - the server has 6 wired ethernet ports, the Wireless, and an embedded xDSL
[00:16] <soliloquy1> I am working on a GTK 3 theme. I have a background-image defined to draw the gradient (which is complicated and not easy to draw from within the engine for various reasons) that should be stretched to fill completely every button. Instead, it simply cuts off once it has filled the button; how do I change this.
[00:17] <dynesh> usr13: sorry, got a visitor...im back
[00:17] <mamece2> TJ-: do u know where can i read how to set up this laptop taht way?
[00:17] <usr13> dynesh: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?   ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:17] <liox_> trism: q squeezing it worked thanks
[00:17] <TJ-> mamece2: Is the laptop connecting to the Internet via  wired connection?
[00:18] <mamece2> TJ-: no, via wireless external adapter
[00:18] <TJ-> mamece2: So does the laptop have *TWO* wifi adapters?
[00:18] <xperiamaniac> nyone can help? need a wubi for 11.04
[00:18] <mamece2> TJ-: yes
[00:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, you can do it then
[00:19] <dynesh> usr13: 3 packets traansmitted, 3 recieived, 0% loss
[00:19] <usr13> dynesh: Let me ask you this:  What IP information is on the computer you are using to talk to us on?  i.e. IP address, default gateway, DNS IP
[00:19] <dynesh> usr13: which means i can ping ryt?
[00:19] <TJ-> mamece2: I've uploaded my server's hostpapd.conf file for you to see. If you "sudo apt-get install hostapd" and copy/edit my config to your PC you're almost ready to go. http://iam.tj/files/
[00:20] <dynesh> this computer uses windows, ll check, wait for a sec
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: Is the computer you are on connected wirelessly?
[00:20] <TJ-> mamece2: *hostapd.conf* ... typo!
[00:20] <dynesh> no..this is a wired connection
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: ifconfig /all
[00:20] <usr13> dynesh: ipconfig /all
[00:20] <usr13> sorry
[00:21] <TJ-> mamece2: You'll need to configure it for your atheros driver of course
[00:21] <mamece2> TJ-: everywhere i see a tutorial is for the following configuration: wired internet and wireless sharing interface.
[00:21] <usr13> dynesh: run cmd ; ipconfig /all
[00:21] <TJ-> mamece2: Well, think slightly laterally. All those tutorials assume you've only got ONE wifi ... what they should say is "how to configure for TWO separate interfaces"
[00:22] <notwo> how can I copy the path that I am into from nautilus explorer?
[00:22] <trism> notwo: ctrl+L
[00:22] <usr13> notwo: You can't do it with the mouse?
[00:22] <mamece2> TJ-: yeah.. my internal wifi is called eth1 (weird) and the external one is wlan0
[00:22] <TJ-> mamece2: Think of your existing wireless connection to the Internet as being the 'wired' connection in those tutorials, and it makes sense
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> nautilus hides the path-bar thang. :)
[00:22] <dynesh> it shows hell a lot of things, which one should i look for? usr13
[00:23] <usr13> dynesh: IP address, default gateway, DNS IP
[00:23] <W4sp> dynesh: I assume you can pastebin the output?
[00:23] <mamece2> TJ-:  im afraid that if i configure that way my connection I wont be able to connect to another wifi. is that true? is easy to deactivate all that config im about to do?
[00:23] <usr13> !paste | dynesh
[00:23] <abi_> http://www.gradconnection.com.au/china/crcc-asia/internships/sports-and-tourism/
[00:24] <TJ-> mamece2: Do you use the 2nd Wifi (wlan0) as a roaming connection then?
[00:25] <i7c> why would my ubuntu server be the only computer in the network whose hostname is not resolved by my router?
[00:25] <mamece2> TJ-: yes, sometimes i connect to another wireless networks
[00:25] <TJ-> mamece2: I've copied the entries you'd need in /etc/network/interfaces to my server too ... the file's called "interfaces"
[00:25] <roothorick> Gah! How do I give the alt key back to inkscape? Unity is capturing it and preventing me from selecting under objects!
[00:25] <TJ-> mamece2: Could you change your procedures so you connect to those other WiFi networks using the internal wireless?
[00:25] <trism> notwo: there used to be a button next to the breadcrumbs but it is gone, you could enable it all the time though if you wanted
[00:25] <usr13> i7c: "resolved by"  router?
[00:26] <dynesh> usr13 and W4sp: ip address- <IP_ADDRESS>, default gateway- <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:26] <trism> notwo: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
[00:26] <i7c> usr13: well let's say the hostname of my server is  uls. then i should be able to do  ssh uls   in my LAN
[00:26] <mamece2> TJ-:  i cant, my internal adapter doesnt have enough gain, just to connect my mobile phone
[00:26] <TJ-> i7c: because your server has a static IP allocation ?
[00:26] <usr13> dynesh: What nameserver is it using?  <IP_ADDRESS>  ?
[00:26] <W4sp> dynesh: Hmmm. Can you disconnect from all networks (wifi) ethernet and ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS> again?
[00:27] <usr13> W4sp: Whay would he disconnect?
[00:27] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, well then can't you swap things around so the external Wifi connects to the Internet router and roams, and you configure the internal WiFi as the AP for your phone?
[00:27] <maheanuu> Good Day to all, I am having a fit with an external drive, I went to it to copy some material that I wanted my nephew to use while he will be at the University in France, and the drive shows itself but all of the files are showing garbage for the names It seems to be an ascii code and I am not seeing why this happened
[00:27] <W4sp> dynesh: Also, do you have any other device (mobile phone) that you can connect by wifi using the same wifi settings?
[00:27] <i7c> TJ-: it doesnt. got the ip via dhcp
[00:27] <dynesh> W4sp: network is unreacheable
[00:27] <mamece2> TJ-:  correct
[00:27] <TJ-> mamece2: As an aside... if the internal wifi signal is that bad... it's likely that the antenna connectors inside the laptop have become disconnected. You might consider opening it up and checking on that!
[00:28] <W4sp> dynesh: Very good. Thanks a lot. We don't need the mobile phone then.
[00:28] <dynesh> my mobile phone gets connected to the wifi router
[00:28] <TJ-> i7c: What DHCP server is in use?
[00:28] <i7c> TJ-: my router is dhcp server ;)  idk what they are using exactly
[00:29] <LoOoD> Which script/program mounts the default /dev/shm on boot?
[00:29] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, thanks. That way we know we have the proper wifi settings.
[00:29] <mamece2> TJ-: im kinda lost, first i should install hostapd?
[00:29] <W4sp> dynesh: You would now re-connect back to your wireless router.
[00:29] <dynesh> W4sp: connected
[00:30] <TJ-> mamece2: make sure you have the correct drivers for the internal wifi adapter first
[00:30] <W4sp> dynesh: Grand.
[00:30] <mamece2> TJ-:  i have them, i am sure because i have use them to connect before, right?
[00:31] <dynesh> W4sp: ???
[00:31] <TJ-> mamece2: No! sometimes the driver firmware that has to be uploaded into the processor of the wifi chipset is different ... you need MASTER mode firmware, rather than just STATION mode... sometimes its combined; often not
[00:31] <W4sp> dynesh: Sorry, great. Grand is just a saying.
[00:32] <dynesh> W4sp: :)
[00:32] <W4sp> dynesh: Can you browse from your mobile through wifi not using the G3, GSM, GPRS, WAP network? Don't know how else I could put it. ;-)
[00:32] <TJ-> i7c: when you say the server's name won't resolve. How are you attempting to resolve it? what are you using?
[00:33] <dynesh> W4sp, yes i can
[00:33] <dynesh> W4sp: i just did..
[00:33] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, fine then.
[00:33] <xperiamaniac> nyone help
[00:34] <i7c> TJ-: nslookup says  " server can't find ***-uls: NXDOMAIN"
[00:34] <Euph0riaXxX> Hello all, is there a channel where someone can ask for general help with ubuntu, such as learning commands, and that sort of thing?
[00:34] <RockM> I own the Asus G75VW laptop with the nVidia GTX670m.  The standard install disks gets stuck at nouveau and grapics mess up.  Is there GTX670m driver support and how can it be applied?
[00:34] <humbug> I have a question about which additonal driver I should install
[00:34] <mamece2> TJ-:  i have a broadcom and a realtek
[00:35] <TJ-> mamece2: Broadcom could be a pig... not sure about realtek
[00:35] <humbug> RockM have you tried the alternitive disk?
[00:35] <TJ-> i7c: Are you postfixing the local domain onto the hostname for nslookup?
[00:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  dont worry is broadcom  4312
[00:35] <RockM> I could not find it on ubuntu's www site
[00:35] <humbug> !alternitive
[00:35] <humbug> #FAil
[00:36] <TJ-> mamece2: is the Broadcom the internal device you want to use as the AP?
[00:36] <soliloquy1> hi xperia - what now?
[00:36] <trism> notwo: ask the channel
[00:36] <humbug> RockM http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[00:36] <i7c> TJ-: sry, dunno what that means, so i guess not? ;)
[00:36] <notwo> Is there anyway I can use an Interface to manage my php, apache, mysql settings like I had in wamp?
[00:36] <jrib> Euph0riaXxX: here might be okay, give us a try
[00:37] <mamece2> TJ-: broadcom is internal, realtek is the external one
[00:37] <TJ-> i7c: usually a network has a domain part and a hostname for each device. E.g. myserver.lan.mydomain.net (myserver is the hostname) so you have to lookup the hostname.domain
[00:38] <mamece2> TJ-:  im trying sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master and i get "
[00:38] <mamece2> Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[00:38] <mamece2>     SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument."
[00:38] <dynesh> W4sp and usr13: guys, do we have any solution? or some hope atleast?
[00:39] <W4sp> dynesh: Given that the machine in question has no network would you be able to add soemthing in a text file. I would pastbin something that you need to type in.
[00:39] <W4sp> dynesh: Just a few lines...
[00:39] <TJ-> mamece2: Sounds like you need additional driver firmware
[00:40] <roothorick> okay, seriously, this is preventing me from getting important things done. WHY is unity or compiz or whatever grabbing alt+click and how do I turn it off?
[00:40] <mamece2> TJ-: "things just got real bro"
[00:40] <i7c> TJ-: mhm ok, dnsdomainname -A  just shows an empty line... could that be the problem?
[00:40] <dynesh> W4sp: yeah! ll do
[00:40] <W4sp> OK, great.
[00:40] <TJ-> mamece2: From the linux wireless web-site I see that the driver you need to use for Broadcom to support AP is the "b43"
[00:41] <W4sp> dynesh: Do you have a file /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:41] <Nine_9> hey guys. is where can i get statistics on ubuntu software center? I'd like to know for example, statistics on how many copies of some softwares were sold last month.
[00:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  the realtek also has a problem, right? the message is the same from the wlan1 mode master command
[00:42] <TJ-> mamece2: Check this out, it's much more authoritative http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/modes
[00:42] <dynesh> W4sp: how should i search for it?

[00:42] <soliloquy1> I am working on a GTK 3 theme.

[00:43] <soliloquy1> *nickserv rather
[00:43] <humbug> Thanks
[00:43] <TJ-> i7c: It depends on how you've configured the local DHCP/DNS server - what domain you've told it is local
[00:44] <humbug> sd
[00:45] <Nine_9> any ideas? I could guess a number from the number of ratings, but i'd like to have precisely.
[00:45] <W4sp> dynesh: in a Terminal you would need to use the following command: 'ls -l /etc/network/interfaces' . I don't need to know what's in it, just if it's there.
[00:45] <RockM> Now downloading the alternate.    Is there support for the nVidia GTX670m yet on ubuntu?
[00:46] <mamece2> TJ-:  wow this is something sorta complex
[00:46] <dynesh> W4sp: yes it is
[00:46] <i7c> TJ-: yeh i understand. weird thing is just that it works with other computers (also ubuntu)
[00:47] <humbug> COuld anyone help me figure out why  my wifi wont connect
[00:47] <TJ-> i7c: It could be that the server isn't sending its hostname to the DHCP server
[00:48] <TJ-> i7c: Have you got any static assignments in the DHCP router?
[00:48] <mamece2> TJ-: i need to set master mode for my internal or external driver? the one in master mode is the one who would be the AP?
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: <sigh> Please can you 'sudo cp -p /etc/networks/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig' It will prompt for a password and you need to enter your own password.
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Stop. The command is 'sudo cp -p  /etc/networks/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig'
[00:48] <i7c> TJ-: no, it's all dynamically allocated
[00:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Just a second
[00:49] <humbug> Hey Budd are you about?
[00:49] <i7c> TJ-: i think i might have found the problem
[00:50] <TJ-> mamece2: correct, so I guess that's the internal one
[00:50] <W4sp> dynesh: The command is sudo cp -p /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig'
[00:52] <W4sp> dynesh: it will prompt for a password. You need to use your own password.
[00:52] <dynesh> W4sp:i did
[00:52] <mamece2> TJ-: so the internal driver will be the one spreading wireless internet, but it will get it from the external one, right?
[00:53] <Guest58328> how can i setting nvidia in ubuntu ?
[00:53] <W4sp> dynesh: Now it's 'ls -l /etc/network/interfaces*' . That shoudl give you now two files.
[00:53] <troulouliou_dev> hi i installed lubuntu on a htpc connected to a lcd screen , with unity , gnome i have no problem but with lxde the icon size and font size are too small
[00:54] <troulouliou_dev> xrandr trick do not help because i m using an nvidia with en edid
[00:54] <TJ-> mamece2: Correct
[00:54] <i7c> TJ-: might have been an error in the resolv.conf ... thx for your help anyways!
[00:55] <dynesh> W4sp : nope
[00:55] <TJ-> mamece2: as long as the default gateway is configured correctly (as it should be automatically) packets from AP clients should be routed out on the other Wifi. what you need to be sure to do to avoid interference is to set the channel number of the AP as far away from your router's channel as possible.
[00:55] <dynesh> W4sp: yes it has 2 files
[00:56] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, we need this as a backup.
[00:56] <TJ-> mamece2: Ideally put your home router on channel 1 and then, depending on your country limits, your AP on channel 11/13/14
[00:57] <thalesac> offtopic: someone from US?
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> thalesac:  i imagine quiet a few of us are......
[00:59] <soliloquy1> *nickserv rather
[00:59] <soliloquy1> woops, sorry
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> thalesac:  theres #ubuntu-offtopic for such discussions.
[01:00] <thalesac> all right! I tried just #offtopic ;)
[01:00] <thalesac> Thanks
[01:01] <roothorick> TJ-: There's country limits on wifi channels?
[01:01] <TJ-> roothorick: Yes, it's called regulatory domains
[01:01] <roothorick> TJ-: what would it be for USA then?
[01:02] <TJ-> roothorick: Some countries use the frequencies of the upper channels for other purposes. US is 11, UK/Europe 13, Japan 14 so far as I recall
[01:02] <roothorick> TJ-: interesting. I always just assumed Wi-Fi was smack dab in an FCC "consumer device" band
[01:02] <bigmeow> lol
[01:02] <roothorick> *in the middle of an
[01:02] <TJ-> roothorick: That's for 802.11b/g 2.4GHz... it's even more complicated at 5GHx 802.11a
[01:02] <designbybeck> Anyone going to LinuxCon Spain, Nov 5-7th??
[01:03] <bigmeow> meow:)
[01:03] <roothorick> TJ-: so using channels 12/13/14 is technically illegal in my area?
[01:03] <TJ-> roothorick: It's all of the allowed non-licensed 2.4GHz band... it uses spread-spectrum frequency hopping techniques to avoid collisions as much as possible
[01:04] <mamece2> TJ-:  cant find how to set master mode with the broadcom,just how to make it work, it already works!
[01:04] <TJ-> roothorick: Possibly - you might interfere with licensed frequencies used by medical and military
[01:04] <roothorick> ...medical!?
[01:04] <TJ-> mamece2: Try installing and configuring hostapd then, see if it "just works" !
[01:05] <mamece2> ok let me try, will his interrupt the wifi connection?
[01:05] <roothorick> I would think they'd put lifesupport stuff way way far away from CD bands
[01:05] <roothorick> the more you know I guess
[01:05] <TJ-> mamece2: Only if you reconfigure the interface you're currently using to access the Internet
[01:05] <TJ-> roothorick: The other uses came first!
[01:06] <W4sp> dynesh: Now I need to know the interfaces you have. PLease can you run 'ifconfig'. It will show on the left some 4 character labels and many details on the right hand side, each in a block. Soemwhere in a block is your <IP_ADDRESS> number. I need to know what 4 character label is printed to its left.
[01:06] <roothorick> TJ-: hasn't the 2.4Ghz allocation been around a lot longer than wifi?
[01:06] <TJ-> roothorick: When the world agreed on common bands some prior users had to be left in place since their equipment couldn't easily be changed
[01:06] <designbybeck> The LinuxCon Spain Hotel is booked Nov 5th-7th. Was hoping to find someone to room with!? Anyone going!?
[01:07] <Roukoswarf> if i lived in spain surely xD
[01:07] <designbybeck> Thanks Roukoswarf :P
[01:08] <Roukoswarf> anytime designbybeck :D
[01:08] <designbybeck> Got my passport and flight booked... just no place to stay at the moment!
[01:08] <TJ-> designbybeck: Where's it being hosted? I saw the emails recently but didn't look closely
[01:08] <dynesh> W4sp  <IP_ADDRESS> is nowhere, again i have <IP_ADDRESS> and to its left i have lo
[01:09] <designbybeck> Bacelona, Spain TJ-
[01:09] <TJ-> designbybeck: thanks
[01:09] <designbybeck> at the Fira Palace Hotel
[01:09] <W4sp> dynesh: Are you still able to ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:09] <designbybeck> Mark Shuttleworth is one of the Keynotes!!
[01:10] <jagginess> lol.. like really who really uses ping <IP_ADDRESS> and say he has internet..
[01:10] <dynesh> W4sp: yes
[01:11] <mamece2> TJ-: done with the hostapd
[01:12] <W4sp> dynesh: And that's all? Just 'lo' and only one block of information?
[01:12] <TJ-> mamece2: Did it work?
[01:12] <Roukoswarf> jagginess: i have an internet, its a series of tubes.
[01:13] <dynesh> W4sp: no 3 blocks - eth0,lo, wlan0
[01:13] <mamece2> TJ-: well i dont know how to test it, the input is "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master" i keep getting "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master"
[01:13] <linuxieus> I seem to be having a problem with the desktop. The wallpaper does no longer show and icons + text appear vague. When right clicking and trying to change desktop background nothing happens... What could be my problem and what is the solution?
[01:14] <TJ-> mamece2: If you configure 'hostapd.conf' and 'interfaces' as in the files I uploaded for you, it should just work
[01:14] <linuxieus> :D Thanks in advance - for any help.
[01:14] <mamece2> so if i configure those file i wont get any error with the commands?
[01:15] <linuxieus> I am using Xubuntu btw.
[01:15] <jagginess> !xubuntu
[01:15] <jagginess> ^^^^
[01:15] <linuxieus> Oh... I am at the wrong address here eh? :D lol sorry!
[01:16] <TJ-> mamece2: You won't need any commands; the machine will configure itself correctly when it is started
[01:17] <W4sp> dynesh: Is there a block that has the number 192.168.1 in it, followed by another number?
[01:18] <jagginess> W4sp, ya.. it makes up the "ip address"
[01:18] <dynesh> W4sp: yes, Bcast: <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:18] <W4sp> !rules | jagginess
[01:18] <jagginess> W4sp, ip/netmask
[01:19] <jagginess> W4sp, grow up.
[01:19] <jagginess> W4sp, it's called the netmask.
[01:19] <jagginess> an ipaddress is useless unless you have the proper netmask with it.
[01:19] <W4sp> jagginess: If you have to contribute any substantial do so. Stop messing around.
[01:19] <jagginess> W4sp, i'm not.
[01:19]  * jagginess does the doubleclick
[01:20] <mamece2> TJ-: wheres can i see the complete name of the driver?
[01:20] <jagginess> btw, that's called a broadcast address.. and it's not called a "block".
[01:21] <TJ-> mamece2: From what I read you should be OK to use the default "nl80211" as is in my hostapd.conf
[01:21] <Roukoswarf> am i going to need to recall my cisco education and blabber it here? xD
[01:22] <TJ-> What's the problem you're trying to solve W4sp? It sounds to be getting confusing :s
[01:22] <mamece2> Roukoswarf: isnt cisco education an oxymoron?
[01:23] <mamece2> TJ-: so i just replace the file in that directory and then?
[01:24] <ozzloy> http://pastie.org/4577909 how o i install freeglut3-dev now?
[01:24] <TJ-> mamece2: Edit the hostapd.conf I've provided where you see the ***.....*** parts
[01:24] <mamece2> TJ-: done
[01:24] <TJ-> mamece2: make sure you set a channel number that doesn't interfere with your home router
[01:24] <mamece2> TJ-: ok , done
[01:24] <Roukoswarf> mamece2: yay, someone got the joke!
[01:25] <TJ-> mamece2: Then you need to add to /etc/network/interfaces the contents of the 'interfaces' file I uploaded for you, too
[01:25] <MoTec> The only channels that do not overlap are 1, 6 and 11.  Do not user others.
[01:25] <Roukoswarf> currently doing cisco, the OS is silly, and the education is really dumbed
[01:25] <TJ-> mamece2: You'll need to EDIT that interfaces section for wlan0 to ensure the addresses are the same as in your network, but on a different subnet to the other eth0 interface
[01:26] <TJ-> MoTec: Depends. If he's in Asia or Europe there's 13 or 14 channels
[01:26] <mamece2> TJ-: so eth1 must be in a different subnet than wlan1 ?
[01:26] <TJ-> MoTec: I run mine on ch 13
[01:27] <MoTec> TJ-: Good call
[01:27] <TJ-> mamece2: Yes... I have my main wired LAN on <IP_ADDRESS>/24 so I put the Wireless on <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[01:28] <TJ-> mamece2: Then there's one thing left to do. You'll need to configure a lightweight DHCP server (dnsmasq) that will listen on the AP interface and issue IP addresses to clients
[01:28] <mamece2> TJ-: that kinda complex
[01:29] <TJ-> mamece2: How so? you want your clients to be able to talk to other don't you? without DHCP they won't be!
[01:29] <Roukoswarf> TJ-: static ips work faster anyway :D
[01:30] <TJ-> Roukoswarf: huh? mkaes no difference!
[01:30] <mamece2> TJ-: i could have a fixed Ip on my phone and i wont care
[01:30] <TJ-> mamece2: If you tell me your sub-net for wired and what you want to use for Wifi, I'll write you the /etc/dnsmasq.conf
[01:31] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... but it really would be better to just set it up to work automatically!
[01:31] <mamece2> TJ-: i dont us wired, just wireless for the access to the intenet AP and i wannt the mobile phone to get internet thoughr the laptop
[01:32] <W4sp> dynesh: I have in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163676/ the block that you need to type in. You need to run 'gedit /etc/network/interfaces &' from a terminal.
[01:32] <TJ-> mamece2: sorry... I didn't mean wired I meant the internet eth0 interface :D
[01:33] <TJ-> W4sp: does he have root privs already? if not that'll be a read-only file edit
[01:33] <mamece2> TJ-:  i added this to the interface file: iface eth0 inet static
[01:33] <mamece2> 	address <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:33] <mamece2> 	netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:33] <mamece2> 	broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:33] <mamece2> 	network <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:33] <FloodBot1> mamece2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:34] <TJ-> mamece2: that looks good
[01:34] <W4sp> dynesh: You need to have a preceeding sudo in front of the command i gave you.
[01:34] <dynesh> W4sp: should i remove the text which is present and type these or should i add it along?
[01:34] <W4sp> TJ-: Thanks.
[01:34] <W4sp> dynesh: Yes, please.
[01:34] <TJ-> W4sp: FYI. when wanting to start a GUI root process we usually use "gksudo <command>" to get a GUI password prompt
[01:34] <__jpmorgan> i am having some problems trying to comppile jwz's xscreensaver 5.19 on ubuntu 12.04 lts. can anyone help? its complaining during compile about glade2.0
[01:35] <mamece2> TJ-: done, now what?
[01:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  i dont see where would I put the interface in master mode
[01:36] <TJ-> mamece2: You don't, that's what hostapd does for you
[01:36] <mamece2> TJ-: how can i activate it?
[01:36] <dynesh> W4sp: should i delete the text?
[01:36] <TJ-> mamece2: restart hostapd with "sudo service hostapd restart"
[01:37] <W4sp> dynesh: No.
[01:37] <TJ-> mamece2: and check /var/log/syslog with the "Log file viewer" to check for error or success messages
[01:37] <mamece2> TJ-: ok log file viewer? i havent use that, explain me how please
[01:38] <TJ-> mamece2: If you're using 12.04 with Unity  open the dash and type "Log file viewer" to find it
[01:38] <mamece2> TJ-:  its blank
[01:39] <TJ-> mamece2: should be installed by default :s
[01:39] <mamece2> TJ-:  it is , butwhen i opened it its blank
[01:39] <symaxian> Hows the scene with 12.04 on a macbook pro?(7,1)
[01:39] <dynesh> W4sp: sorry, but im not getting it right...i typed the command(with sudo) and it doesnt open any text sheet, should i type what u sent in the terminal?
[01:39] <TJ-> mamece2: LOL ok... thought you meant dash was blank. Use File > Open and choose /var/log/syslog
[01:40] <mamece2> TJ-: the file /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf its in blank too
[01:40] <TJ-> mamece2: How did you copy/edit my example to your system?
[01:40] <mamece2> sudo gedit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[01:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  sudo gedit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[01:41] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I just had openoffice go crash on me, and now it won't start again. It gives the error "due to an unexpected error openoffice has crashed" and then something about document recovery etc. However, this error come up imediatly. This happens on both writer and calc. Where can I look for more information. Does anyone know what would cause this?
[01:41] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, that should do it, assuming you saved it
[01:42] <mamece2> TJ-: i mean, the file doesnt exist right now
[01:42] <TJ-> mamece2: If you save it using gedit it should do
[01:42] <W4sp> dynesh: No, please don't. Can you type in (all in one line) 'gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces ?'. Once it has opened you need to type in the text from pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163676/. Do not enter the line numbers please.
[01:42] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, done, now i will restart service
[01:43] <TJ-> mamece2: OK ... good luck!
[01:43] <dynesh> W4sp: thanks for clarifying
[01:43] <mamece2> TJ-: mmm done, aparently nothing happened
[01:43] <W4sp> dynesh: When you've done that you need to save the file.
[01:43] <TJ-> mamece2: how do you test it?
[01:44] <mamece2> TJ-:  i just type sudo service hostapd restart
[01:44] <wavm> hi guys, what is a good telnet/ssh terminal for ubuntu?
[01:44] <mamece2> TJ-:  nothing new in the syslog
[01:44] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... using that log file viewer, open the file /var/log/hostapd.log  and look for details
[01:45] <mamece2> TJ-: the same in "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode master
[01:45] <mamece2> Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[01:45] <mamece2>     SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument."
[01:45] <dynesh> W4sp: saved
[01:45] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... so we can work on that. That's the same error you got trying to use "iwconfig" so it's likely a driver error
[01:46] <TJ-> mamece2: I need you to pastebin me the output of "lspci -nn"
[01:46] <root__> hello
[01:46] <TJ-> mamece2: and also "lsusb"
[01:46] <KM0201> !rootirc | Erealz
[01:47] <mamece2> TJ-:  theres no  /var/log/hostapd.log
[01:47] <Erealz> what can happen
[01:48] <dynesh> W4sp: u there?
[01:48] <mamece2> lsusb
[01:48] <W4sp> dynesh: Fine. Let's exit the editor and we need our terminal again. The command is 'sudo cp -p /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.new'
[01:48] <agentgasmask> I'm looking for the openoffice.org channel
[01:48] <Erealz> hey those anyone run spotify for linux
[01:48] <Erealz> ifso have they fixed that last bug the crashes it
[01:48] <mamece2> .o/
[01:49] <TJ-> mamece2: If you've configured the /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf correctly it should start and log something at least. You have installed hostapd haven't you ("sudo apt-get install hostapd") ?
[01:50] <mamece2> TJ-: yes
[01:50] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/RT8id2uN
[01:50] <dynesh> w4sp: done
[01:50] <TJ-> mamece2: thanks
[01:50] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, one second.
[01:51] <Erealz> this
[01:52] <TJ-> mamece2: And pastebin the output of "iwconfig"
[01:52] <mamece2> TJ-: the folder was created for hostapd
[01:52] <TJ-> mamece2: This is what mine shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163701/
[01:52] <sgehrman> test
[01:53] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/a37JdR08
[01:54] <agentgasmask> Hey guys. If I do an apt-get --reinstall install openoffice* will I loose my config settings?
[01:54] <mamece2> TJ-: you cant be the AP and get the internet int he same interface, right?
[01:54] <agentgasmask> Also, if that does break somethings, can I go back?
[01:54] <TJ-> mamece2: and you've specified "eth1" in both /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf  ?
[01:54] <TJ-> mamece2: correct... well it is technically possibly but hell to do!
[01:55] <wwwolf> agentgasmask: No, I think your personal oo.org settings should be safe in your home directory
[01:55] <TJ-> mamece2: I think the issue here is the BCM driver.
[01:57] <TJ-> mamece2: can you pastebin the output of "sudo lspci -vvvnn -s 04:00.0"
[01:58] <W4sp> dynesh: Now 'sudo ifdown wlan0' This may tell you the interfaceis not configured. Next is 'sudo ifup wlan0'
[01:58] <MACscr> Looking for opinions for a home backup/media server. Got 4 x 2TB hard drives. mdraid 5 or 10? Also, XFS, JFS, or EXT4?
[01:59] <lwizardl> when adding a ppa to my system. when i see  "signing key"  1024R/816950D8 "fingerprint" 43D3A9F60C58A7169778E6FB8771ADB0816950D8 how do i add those keys
[01:59] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/krEY3Tpi
[01:59] <dynesh> W4sp: done
[01:59] <mamece2> TJ-: whatis the interface that i need to set in interfaces and in hostadp?
[01:59] <TJ-> mamece2: that shows the driver is "wl" ... we need to check that
[01:59] <TJ-> mamece2: it's "eth1" currently
[02:00] <W4sp> dynesh: Are both commands done?
[02:00] <dynesh> W4sp...yes
[02:01] <W4sp> dynesh: Fine. Let's do 1. 'ping -c 2 <IP_ADDRESS>' and 2. 'ping -c 2 <IP_ADDRESS>'
[02:01] <mamece2> TJ-: what can i do about this wl driver?
[02:02] <TJ-> mamece2: I'm researching it now
[02:02] <mamece2> TJ-: should i put in the config file of hostapd the wl drive?
[02:02] <khole> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 onto my netbook. LiveUSB worked fine, but installation won't start. Just get black screen. (Same for Lubuntu).
[02:02] <dynesh> W4sp:
[02:02] <khole> Anything I can do to troubleshoot?
[02:03] <W4sp> dynesh: Go ahead.
[02:03] <Gnea> khole: did you install the netbook remix?
[02:03] <khole> Gnea: no
[02:03] <Gnea> khole: well the netbook remix is for netbooks
[02:03] <dynesh> W4sp: i pinged <IP_ADDRESS>, it got pinged but <IP_ADDRESS> didnt
[02:03] <khole> Gnea: standard desktop. I didn't know a netbook remix existed anymore.
[02:04] <wilee-nilee> It doesn't
[02:04] <TJ-> mamece2: no don't change anything
[02:04] <W4sp> dynesh: OK, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[02:04] <TJ-> mamece2: The "wl" driver doesn't support master mode
[02:04] <khole> Yeah, that's what I thought. The desktop version (now the only version) should work fine. But it won
[02:04] <khole> twon
[02:04] <dynesh> W4sp: successful
[02:05] <TJ-> mamece2: You need to install the "b43" driver. I'm reading that you need to do "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer" from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing_b43_drivers
[02:05] <khole> gah! typo. It won't star. I just get a blank screen. (Even though the Live desktop worked fine)
[02:05] <Gnea> khole: ah, I see, they merged it at 11.04 because of unity
[02:06] <khole> Gnea: yep
[02:06] <Gnea> I hate unity.
[02:06] <khole> Gnea: beside the point. :p
[02:06] <khole> I can't even get to a login screen
[02:06] <W4sp> dynesh: Please can you execute from terminal 'sudo tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>'?
[02:06] <khole> or loading screen for that matter
[02:06] <Gnea> khole: maybe it's not initializing the video driver correctly
[02:07] <Gnea> khole: can you get it to login through a console?
[02:07] <mamece2> TJ-: you mean sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[02:07] <dynesh> W4sp: yes
[02:07] <dynesh> W4sp: done
[02:07] <W4sp> dynesh: It may take some time until it finishes.
[02:07] <khole> Gnea: yeah, I'm suspecting driver issues. Umm, can you explain what you mean by 'login through a console'?
[02:08] <W4sp> dynesh: What do you mean by done? Are you back at the prompt?
[02:08] <Gnea> khole: sure, when it's done booting up and "should" give you a login screen, press ctrl-alt-f1
[02:08] <dynesh> W4sp: its listing something...i ll wait for it to finish
[02:08] <khole> Gnea: Ah, I'm not seeing anything after BIOS. :(
[02:08] <Gnea> khole: do you  have an HDD led that blinks when it's booting up?
[02:09] <khole> Gnea: brb
[02:09] <Gnea> k
[02:09] <dynesh> im back in the prompt W4sp
[02:09] <TJ-> mamece2: no I don't
[02:09] <W4sp> dynesh: Let's wait until it finishes. It creates a fwew lines and tells us the hops.
[02:09] <TJ-> mamece2: it's now "firmware-b43-installer"
[02:09] <dynesh> W4sp: its over and it has 3 lines
[02:10] <mamece2> TJ-:  im following thar url instructions
[02:10] <khole> Gnea: hdd light seems normal. A few blinks. Erratum: although I'm not seeing anything past BIOS for the current Lubuntu install, the Ubuntu install did show a brief flash of pruple
[02:11] <TJ-> mamece2: At the start of the "Installing b43 drivers" section it says "Note: On Ubuntu 11.04 installing the 'firmware-b43-installer' package takes care of the downloading and installation of the b43 driver. "
[02:11] <TJ-> mamece2: If you're on 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 then that's the package to use
[02:11] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, now i need to restart :/ i hate when that happens
[02:11] <W4sp> dynesh: That's too few lines to be successful. Can you tell me what it says?
[02:11] <casvah> I just installed rvm, and I think it somehow overwrote my .bashrc...is this common, and is there a way to get it back to default ubuntu bashrc?
[02:12] <TJ-> mamece2: you might not need to, you can manually load the driver after unloading the "wl" driver
[02:12] <mamece2> TJ-: ive installed b43 and i still see wl, how to unload that?
[02:13] <W4sp> dynesh: I don't need to knwo the ms byt the IP addresses or host names would be great.
[02:13] <TJ-> mamece2: at a command line, first ensure that "wl" isn't in use by anything. Do "lsmod | grep wl" and check that the number after "wl" is zero
[02:13] <dynesh> W4sp : Roy-pc.local , <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS> and last line jus reads Resume: pmtu 1500
[02:14] <mamece2> TJ-:  it is : "lsmod | grep wl
[02:14] <mamece2> TJ-: wl                   2568210  0
[02:14] <TJ-> mamece2: That's good.  Now we can unload it: "sudo rmmod wl"
[02:15] <TJ-> mamece2: check it's gone by doing "lsmod | grep wl" once more
[02:15] <mamece2> TJ-: gone
[02:15] <TJ-> mamece2: Now we load the b43: "sudo modprobe b43"
[02:15] <TJ-> mamece2: then check its in memory with "lsmod | grep b43"
[02:16] <mamece2> TJ-: 	Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
[02:16] <TJ-> mamece2: sounds good
[02:16] <TJ-> mamece2: check the interfaces with "iwconfig"
[02:17] <mamece2> now there wlan1 and wlan0
[02:17] <W4sp> dynesh: Unable to get over the gateway. That's odd.
[02:17] <TJ-> mamece2: It's probably no longer eth1 and you'll need to change "interfaces" and "hostapd.conf" to reflect the new interface name
[02:17] <mamece2> TJ-: the same error when i try  sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master
[02:18] <TJ-> mamece2: iwconfig shows the new interface as wlan0 then ?
[02:18] <TJ-> mamece2: pastebin me "iwconfig" again please
[02:18] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/DpQM6akf
[02:19] <mamece2> TJ-: the command mode master shouldnt get a error message back
[02:20] <W4sp> dynesh: Could you 'ping -c 1 google.com'. Does it tell you "ping: unknown host"?
[02:20] <TJ-> mamece2: after you've fixed up the config files do "sudo ifdown wlan0" then "sudo service hostapd restart" and check the hostapd log file again
[02:21] <Gnea> khole: okay, well if you're booting off of the hdd, you'd see the hdd led blink. if it's off of the cd/dvd/flashdrive, then not so much. Can you get to a grub> prompt just past BIOS POST with ESC?
[02:21] <mamece2> TJ-:  both config files should be with wlan0 interface?
[02:22] <TJ-> mamece2: yes
[02:22] <khole> Gnea: thanks for your help, I'm going to have to work on this later. I'll try your last suggestion, and get back to the channel later on.
[02:22] <mamece2> TJ-: when i click in the upper corner icon, the broadcome says device not ready , firmware missing
[02:23] <willy> XD
[02:23] <mamece2> TJ-: should i change the driver=nl80211 line?
[02:23] <TJ-> mamece2: No
[02:23] <TJ-> mamece2: The message about the firmware is the clue.
[02:24] <mamece2> TJ-: ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured
[02:24] <TJ-> mamece2: that means the " firmware-b43-installer" hasn't done its job, or else the firmware hasn't been uploaded to the device
[02:24] <TJ-> mamece2: that's fine
[02:25] <TJ-> mamece2: check the firmware files. pastebin me the directory listing "ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm/"
[02:26] <notwo> how can I get a nice preview of an image, in nautilus explorer? show I use some other more advanced explorer ?

[02:27] <bazhang> notwo, dont repeat so quickly
[02:27] <mamece2> TJ-: its something bad with the driver? how can i erase it and dl again?
[02:27] <TJ-> mamece2: No it isn't, wait!
[02:29] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, there's an alternative for low-power devices.

[02:30] <ironfoot> HI; I've got trouble no matter what I do I cannot remove or purge phpmyadmin does anyone know a way to remove and reinstall phpmyadmin?
[02:30] <TJ-> mamece2: remove the one you just installed "sudo apt-get --purge remove firmware-b43-installer" and then install the low-power version "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer"
[02:31] <mamece2> TJ-: downloading
[02:33] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, done...
[02:33] <W4sp> dynesh: Are you still there?
[02:33] <mamece2> TJ-: broadcom is back online, the "local" (ssid) is connected again
[02:34] <mamece2> TJ-: mode master command reply with an error still
[02:35] <TJ-> mamece2: does that interface report missing firmware now?
[02:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  no
[02:35] <TJ-> mamece2: use log file viewer, look in /var/log/kern.log ... see if you see a recent message saying it's loading firmware
[02:36] <OneUp03> Does anyone know how to make courier regenerate config files?
[02:37] <mamece2> Tj kernel: [11589.016110] b43-phy1: Loading firmware version 478.104 (2008-07-01 00:50:23)
[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: Yay!
[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: ok, try restarting hostapd again
[02:37] <TJ-> mamece2: then look at the hostapd log file if its there
[02:37] <mamece2> TJ-: ok , done, nothing happened
[02:38] <Riberty> is ubuntu 10.10 still supported?
[02:38] <TJ-> mamece2: no log entries?
[02:38] <mamece2> TJ-: theres no log
[02:39] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, that means there's something wrong with your config. Check in /var/log/syslog for any clues about it failing to start
[02:39] <xangua> Riberty: no
[02:40] <mamece2> TJ-: NetworkManager[873]: <error> [1345775755.125846] [nm-device-wifi.c:1865] nm_device_wifi_set_mode(): (wlan0): error setting mode 2
[02:41] <TJ-> mamece2: OK... let me research that
[02:41] <mamece2> TJ-:  this might help http://pastebin.com/v3AgAf0B
[02:43] <TJ-> mamece2: ahh! network manager needs to be told to not manage wlan0! you have to restart it. It'll ignore any interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces.
[02:43] <silverghost> linuxieus: hi
[02:43] <jgornick> Hey guys, running 12.04 64bit. Why isn't add-apt-repository available anymore?
[02:43] <TJ-> mamece2: try this "sudo service network-manager restart" then "sudo service hostapd restart"
[02:44] <jgornick> I'm trying to install the JRE 64bit version.
[02:45] <TJ-> jgornick: "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre"
[02:45] <jgornick> TJ-: will that be 64bit version as well?
[02:45] <TJ-> jgornick: If you're on a 64-bit installation, yes
[02:45] <jgornick> Interesting, it looks like if you install openjdk-7-jre, it's 32bit
[02:46] <silverghost> linuxieus: stay away from these buntus these are stupid distros made by noob devs horribly buggy try fedora opensuse they are much better solusos.com give it a try u won't regret eh
[02:46] <TJ-> jgornick: ahh, they both are!
[02:47] <jgornick> hmmm
[02:47] <jgornick> The packages I see being downloaded when I install that is i386.
[02:48] <jgornick> TJ-: https://skitch.com/jgornick/eqqa2/mediamanager-deeadmin-deebeo-jira-ssh-256x60
[02:48] <TJ-> jgornick: Yes, I checked here using "apt-cache show <package-name>"
[02:49] <jgornick> TJ-: Good to know that's how to check :)
[02:49] <ki4ro_> riberty: Have a look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_10.10_.28Maverick_Meerkat.29
[02:50] <jgornick> TJ-: Any thoughts on how to get 64bit version?
[02:50] <TJ-> jgornick: Strange, I'm not sure why we don't have a 64-bit build, unless it was all the problems with type sizes
[02:51] <mamece2> TJ-: sudo service hostapd restart doesnt seem to do nothign,. nothigns added to the syslog log
[02:51] <mamece2> TJ-: now broadcom appears like device not managed
[02:52] <TJ-> mamece2: you didn't accidentally mistype it's config file name did you? I've done that before and wasted hours! :p
[02:52] <TJ-> mamece2: "not managed" is what you want. Don't want network-manager touching it
[02:52]  * linuxieus is away: I'm busy
[02:53] <jgornick> TJ-: So, what happened to add-apt-repository in 12.04? There's a PPA that has the 64bit version of Java.
[02:53] <mamece2> TJ-:  let me check
[02:54] <TJ-> jgornick: The 64 bit amd64 packages are in the archives according to the file lists at http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/openjdk-6-jre-headless
[02:54] <TJ-> jgornick: and "add-apt-repository" is still there
[02:55] <mamece2> TJ-: the file is in the directory /etc/hostapd and it has the following http://pastebin.com/Aj0LPgC4
[02:55] <jgornick> TJ-: I needed to install sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
[02:55] <jgornick> TJ-: I'm running the minimal install version.
[02:55] <jgornick> :)
[02:55] <TJ-> jgornick: ahh yes! I got caught by that last week installing to a usb stick
[02:55] <natsirt> hi
[02:56] <WeThePeople> hi
[02:56] <TJ-> mamece2: your file looks good. We need therefore to find out why hostapd doesn't seem to be logging. lets find out if its in memory
[02:56] <mamece2> TJ-:  shoudl i reinstall
[02:57] <TJ-> mamece2: do this "ps -ef | grep hostapd" and you should see a line similar to this: "root      4224     1  0 Aug20 ?        00:00:03 /usr/sbin/hostapd -B -P /var/run/hostapd.pid /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[02:57] <mamece2> TJ-:  why in iwconfig wlan0 is in managed mode?
[02:57] <natsirt> can anyone se me
[02:57] <TJ-> mamece2: that's the default mode until something changes it
[02:58] <mamece2> TJ-: mike     13237  4450  0 22:27 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto hostapd
[02:58] <cfhowlett> natsirt: yes we c u
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: ok... hostapd isn't starting then
[02:58] <W4sp> natsirt: You can be seen.
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: that explains alot!
[02:58] <mamece2> TJ-: why not?
[02:58] <TJ-> mamece2: do this and pastebin me the results: "sudo service hostapd start"
[02:59] <mamece2> TJ-: doesnt give something back
[02:59] <TJ-> mamece2: really? not even an error message?
[03:00] <natsirt> I have issue sloggin into other channels
[03:00] <TJ-> jgornick: The archives definitely have the amd64 builds: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/
[03:00] <mamece2> TJ-: nope. thats why i think it does nothing
[03:01] <TJ-> mamece2: the service command always reports any failure. that's where the problem is I think.
[03:01] <TJ-> mamece2: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163749/
[03:02] <noobie|2> How do I change the location of the close/max/min buttons?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> !buttons
[03:03] <TJ-> mamece2: Let's try the alternative method of controlling services. do "sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd start"
[03:03] <mamece2> TJ-: should I reinstall?
[03:03] <jgornick> TJ-: How do I tell apt to use the archives repository?
[03:04] <mamece2> TJ-: the same: nothing
[03:04] <TJ-> jgornick: It already knows via /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:04] <jgornick> hmmm
[03:04] <TJ-> mamece2: OK ... pastebin me this file "cat /etc/default/hostapd"
[03:05] <jgornick> TJ-: I need to uncomment deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted right?
[03:05] <TJ-> jgornick: sure.. but it ought to be available by default
[03:05] <TJ-> jgornick: I've tried to get the 64-bit package here by postfixing :amd64 to the package name but it's not found
[03:05] <jgornick> TJ-: Question then, how do I tell it to install the 64bit version?
[03:06] <TJ-> jgornick: seems like something deliberate stopping it
[03:06] <jgornick> Meh :(
[03:06] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/tgYCTWtW
[03:07] <SushiDude> Hello, as we all know Ubuntu 12.04.1 was released today but I am not seeing the option to upgrade from the upgrade manager. I am currently on 12.04.
[03:07] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you would only see regular updates
[03:08] <TJ-> jgornick: Actually, despite what those tools say, what is actually installed on my system *is* the 64-bit: here's some of the output of "dpkg-query -L openjdk-6-jre"  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so
[03:08] <trism> SushiDude: lsb_release -a; for fun
[03:08] <TJ-> mamece2: HAHAHA slap me!
[03:08] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, why is that so?
[03:08] <TJ-> mamece2: see that #DAEMON_CONF=""  and the text above it!?
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: My fault - I forgot I had to edit that... after all the time since I installed it I assumed it had that set originally!
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude`I assumes you were running 12.04 already you did not say your release.
[03:09] <mamece2> TJ-: yeah,,, uncooment it
[03:09] <SushiDude> hmm
[03:09] <mamece2> TJ-: i read it too jeje
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: so, "gksudo gedit /etc/default/hostapd" and edit that line, remove the leading "#" and insert the name of the config file "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:09] <jgornick> TJ-: Mine is not showing that :|
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you running 10.04?
[03:09] <TJ-> mamece2: Save it then finally START the service!
[03:10] <jgornick> TJ-: Do you know what you may have done to do that?
[03:10] <jgornick> TJ-: "that" meaning get the 64bit version installed.
[03:10] <SushiDude> trism, http://pastebin.com/8h3TGm6H
[03:10] <TJ-> mamece2: This is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163759/
[03:10] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, no 12.04
[03:10] <trism> SushiDude: yes, as you see you are already on 12.04.1 (point releases aren't special, they are just normal updates)
[03:10] <kiran__> how to install ubuntu on hp tablet
[03:10] <rublind> is it possible to do a "do-release-upgrade" without using tmp?
[03:11] <mamece2> TJ-:  * Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management hostapd                      [fail]
[03:11] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, and as you see from your pastebin you are running 12.04.1
[03:12] <cfhowlett> !arm|kiran__:
[03:12] <mamece2> TJ-: the text is like this DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:12] <kiran__> thanks ubottu
[03:12] <SushiDude> wilee-nilee, I don't remember ever updating to 12.04.1 though
[03:12] <TJ-> mamece2: That's correct
[03:13] <mamece2> TJ-: it fails :/
[03:13] <TJ-> mamece2: Did it try to start?
[03:13] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, you don't have to the regular updates when running a LTS take you there
[03:13] <TJ-> mamece2: if so, check the log :D
[03:13] <trism> SushiDude: 12.04.1 is just 12.04, lts has addition updated iso releases, which is really all the .1, .2 are
[03:13] <rublind> I can't seem to remount /tmp to have exec instead of noexec, so I can't upgrade my dist, can anyone suggest an alternative solution?
[03:14] <wilee-nilee> SushiDude, You would only see a upgrade if you were running 10.04
[03:14] <jgornick> TJ-: You were saying earlier that you were able to specify the :amd64 architecture when installing from apt. What's the syntax to force an architecture?
[03:15] <SushiDude> okay, I understand, thank you for clarifying that.
[03:15] <DrManhattan> I'm having some issues with vlc
[03:15] <DrManhattan> [0x22f6208] inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-DQWpAYcnvM: Connection refused
[03:15] <TJ-> jgornick: postfix :<arch> but I tried that; it don't like it. Even the package pre-depends says multiarch which infers the 64-bit system runs a 32-bit package
[03:15] <DrManhattan> how do I fix this dbus error
[03:15] <DrManhattan> and vlc is also trying to use ALSA
[03:16] <mamece2> TJ-: still no log for hostapd
[03:16] <TJ-> mamece2: did the service start say "failed"
[03:16] <mamece2> TJ-:  yes
[03:18] <DrManhattan> It keeps saying "Cannot open the MRL alsa://"
[03:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, check /var/log/syslog it may say why
[03:18] <mamece2> TJ-:  it doesnt add a new line when i try to restart
[03:18] <TJ-> mamece2: OK, let me check on mine for anything different
[03:19] <roothorick> Is ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/bb.fts.index/iamchert supposed to be unreadable regardless of on-disk permissions?
[03:19] <TJ-> mamece2: I wonder about the "+" at then end of your spa_passphrase. Try without it
[03:19] <mamece2> TJ-: its part of the password
[03:19] <TJ-> mamece2: That's in hostapd.conf
[03:20] <TJ-> mamece2: I know... but I'm looking for anything that might cause hostapd to barf
[03:20] <jgornick> TJ-: I just downloaded the amd64 deb found http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/openjdk-7-jre/download … When I used dpkg to install sudo dpkg -i openjdk-7-jre_7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb, I got this: package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)  … However, when I call arch, it returns i686. Thoughts?
[03:20] <TJ-> jgornick: err, you're on a 32-bit system!
[03:21] <TJ-> jgornick: "uname -a"

[03:21] <TJ-> jgornick: got to the back of the class :D
[03:21] <mamece2> TJ-: i thought its gonna be that but it failed too. still it addded some line to the log
[03:22] <alien64> when will the new update to 12.04 roll out to Update Manager ?
[03:22] <TJ-> mamece2: it did? what was it?
[03:22] <xangua> alien64: if you install updates you already have it...
[03:22] <mamece2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/HC1GaFdJ
[03:23] <KM0201> alien64: it also depend on your settings in update manager.
[03:23] <zykotick9> alien64: are you running 10.04?  if it's 12.04, just update...
[03:23] <xangua> zykotick9: i believe he means 12.04.1
[03:24] <zykotick9> xangua: i agree
[03:24] <KM0201> oh ok... i thought 10.04>12.04 was not supported yet
[03:24] <zykotick9> alien64: "lsb_release -a" to verify
[03:24] <zykotick9> KM0201: should be - it was just waiting for the point release...
[03:25] <cfhowlett> KM0201: LTS to LTS upgrades are supported
[03:25] <KM0201> zykotick9: ah ok, i didn't realize i'd hit .1
[03:25] <KM0201> cfhowlett: i know that... i didn't realize 12.04 had hit 12.04.1 yet
[03:25] <KM0201> because prior to 12.04.1, it wasn't recommended upgrading from 10.04
[03:25] <alien64> xangua: its still 12.04 LTS in details shouldnt it be 12.04.1 or something?
[03:26] <mamece2> TJ-:  i dont understand what happened
[03:26] <zykotick9> alien64: check "Release" line of "lsb_release -a"
[03:27] <mindbender1> Is there an tool to use for generating .pc files for existing packages on ubuntu?
[03:27] <|Anthony|> very long story short, i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and the 3.5 kernel is installed... needless to say, it isn't working. is there a way to restore the system?
[03:27] <alien64> sorry wrong person lol looking
[03:27] <KM0201> alien64: it should look like this... look at "description"  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163774/
[03:27] <mindbender1> I noticed that .pc files are missing for some installed pkgs on ubuntu
[03:27] <zykotick9> |Anthony|: at grub, choose the old kernel...
[03:27] <TJ-> mamece2: pastebin the output of this: "iw list  | grep -A 10 'Supported interface modes'  "
[03:28] <xangua> |Anthony|: just select the kernel that comes in lucid in the Grub menu (Shift key when you turn the pc to show it)
[03:28] <|Anthony|> lol zykotick9... if it were that simple i wouldn't be here...
[03:28] <|Anthony|> hehe
[03:28] <zykotick9> |Anthony|: did you remove the origional kernel?
[03:29] <alien64> zykotick9: yes sir it does i am up to date thanks for the info
[03:29] <mamece2> TJ-:  i dont have iw installed, i will do it
[03:29] <zykotick9> alien64: glad to help...
[03:30] <|Anthony|> zykotick9, this explains it http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/discussion/general/thread/b3af65f8/
[03:30] <TJ-> mamece2: ahh!
[03:30] <|Anthony|> so i don't have to type the whole situation again
[03:30] <mamece2> TJ-: im not a genius like u
[03:31] <|Anthony|> folks ought to get a chuckle out of my situation honestly
[03:31] <mamece2> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163778/
[03:31] <|Anthony|> sucks for me... funny for everyone else
[03:31] <|Anthony|> :/
[03:31] <TJ-> mamece2: Another YATY - AP mode is on that list
[03:32] <mamece2> TJ-: what do u mean?
[03:34] <TJ-> mamece2: although, we need to be sure that response was for wlan0 since you have two wifis.
[03:34] <|Anthony|> i actually didn't see that there was a response to that post i linked... hmm...
[03:34] <TJ-> mamece2: try restarting hostapd now... It should have been installed in support of hostapd but seemingly wasnt
[03:35] <mamece2> TJ-:  i did, it failes
[03:35] <TJ-> mamece2: OK
[03:35] <TJ-> So we know everything else is correct, so there's something in the config that is killing it. So lets try starting it manually and see if it tells us why it fails
[03:36] <TJ-> mamece2: do this: "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:36] <TJ-> mamece2: maybe pastebin the output if there is anything useful
[03:37] <mamece2> TJ-: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[03:37] <mamece2> Could not set channel for kernel driver
[03:37] <mamece2> wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
[03:37] <mamece2> TJ-: weird
[03:37] <TJ-> mamece2: channel?
[03:37] <TJ-> mamece2: try changing it in the config to 6 and try again
[03:38] <usr13> |Anthony|: Boot ubuntu's recovery mode and install a new kernel.
[03:38] <mamece2> TJ-: i change it to channel 6 in the .conf file and still the same error message
[03:38] <TJ-> same? or does it mention channel 6 now?
[03:39] <teamcoltra> What is mqueue?
[03:39] <mamece2> TJ-: the same message  as above
[03:39] <usr13> |Anthony|: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[03:40] <|Anthony|> usr13, i used that...
[03:40] <usr13> |Anthony|: And....?
[03:40] <|Anthony|> well, misused... which added to the issues
[03:40] <|Anthony|> usr13, http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/discussion/general/thread/b3af65f8/
[03:41] <|Anthony|> there is a response, which i am about to attempt
[03:42] <TJ-> mamece2: let's enable lots of debug info. do this: "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd -dd  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[03:43] <TJ-> mamece2: I'll need it in pastebin... you might want to install "pastebinit" and then run "sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd -dd  /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf | pastebinit"
[03:43] <mamece2> TJ-:  nice, i like that

[03:45] <TJ-> mamece2: I *think* this may be to do with the channel width; 20MHz vs 40MHz ... I need to dig some more, give me a few minutes
[03:45] <cfhowlett> LoneElf: 11.10 will hit end of life soon.  why not upgrade to 12.04??
[03:46] <LoneElf> It's not supported by parallels.
[03:46] <Nach0z> s/end of life/EOF
[03:46] <mamece2> TJ-: channelwight isnt a standar?
[03:47] <cfhowlett> LoneElf: download 11.10 iso and clean install.
[03:47] <LoneElf> cfhowlett: hrmm, okely ;)
[03:47] <LoneElf> I just assumed it was possible to upgrade.
[03:47] <cfhowlett> LoneElf: "upgrade" option will default to 11.10
[03:47] <Alex3012> anyone excited about Windows 8?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> !ot|Alex3012:
[03:48] <TJ-> mamece2: 40MHz channels are 802.11n ... doubles the available bandwidth but uses twice as many frequency bands
[03:48] <LoneElf> actually, upgrade seems to want to upgrade to 12.04?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> LoneElf: right.   In hostapd.conf change "ieee80211n=" from 1 to 0 ... save, and try it again
[03:50] <mrFrog> i'm using ubuntu server edition, never had problems in the past with "apt", but for some reason, with 12.04, i always get "hash sum mismatch" errors where random lines "failed to fetch"… in the end, the final error is "some index files failed to download. they have been ignored, or old ones used instead". any ideas for me? this happens with every fresh install i've tried
[03:52] <mamece2> TJ-: to 80200n ?
[03:52] <mamece2> TJ-: i got it
[03:52] <TJ-> mamece2: change "ieee80211n=0"
[03:52] <TJ-> mamece2: We need to *disable* 40MHz channels
[03:53] <KM0201> mrFrog: are you sure there's no problem in your sources list?
[03:53] <mrFrog> KM0201: it's a fresh install, so there shouldn't be right?
[03:53] <mamece2> TJ-: i did it with the -dd option and i unleashed hell
[03:53] <KM0201> mrFrog: hmm, one would think... that is strange
[03:53] <TJ-> mamece2: That means it works!
[03:54] <TJ-> mamece2: press Ctrl+C to kill that process
[03:54] <TJ-> than just start it as a service
[03:54] <mamece2> TJ-:  it kinda stuck, i dont like it
[03:54] <TJ-> mamece2: stuck?
[03:55] <mamece2> TJ-: it hasnt done its thing
[03:55] <TJ-> mamece2: Ctrl+C should terminate the process. If not, do Ctrl+D to suspend it
[03:55] <mamece2> TJ-: this is repeating in the log . Aug 23 23:25:26 pain-laptop kernel: [16528.204004] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
[03:55] <TJ-> mamece2: if you have a command line after Ctrl+D then kill the suspended process using "sudo kill %1"
[03:57] <mamece2> TJ-: im trying again
[03:58] <TJ-> mamece2: that NOHZ report is a known kernel bug, I'm checking on it
[03:58] <mamece2> TJ-: this is at the log pain-laptop kernel: [16646.440052] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
[04:00] <mamece2> TJ-:  it freezes at Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:23:4e:df:52:45 and ssid 'local'
[04:01] <mamece2> TJ-: now it doenst even get to the NOHZ report
[04:02] <TJ-> mamece2: Is that after starting the service with "sudo service hostapd start" ? And do you mean the PC freezes, or the hostapd log file?
[04:02] <mamece2> TJ-:  the terminal just get there and theres no more entries at the log
[04:03] <TJ-> mamece2: that's the normal thing... normal service isn't generating all that debug info (there's no "-dd" on the command line any more)
[04:03] <mamece2> TJ-: ok, but does it take that long to start?
[04:04] <TJ-> mamece2: usually a couple of seconds or so
[04:04] <TJ-> from now on though it'll start when the PC starts
[04:05] <bmc> So, I am having issues booting an Ubuntu live cd (black screen), and I'm pretty sure its because of my graphics card (nvidia geforce 8600 gt), can anyone help?
[04:05] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|bmc:
[04:05] <mamece2> TJ-:  but still i dont know how to set the AP
[04:05] <TJ-> mamece2: You've set it, it's working.
[04:05] <bmc> oh wow, thats a useful bot
[04:06] <TJ->  mamece2: You might need to enable IP forwarding so your WiFi clients can have their packets routed and NAT-ed (network address translation)
[04:06] <TJ-> mamece2: if you every change the settings in hostapd.conf all you need do is issue a "restart" to the service
[04:06] <hanslanda> does anyone know how can i install Xorg-Server-1.12.3?
[04:06] <mamece2> TJ-: how can i connect the mobile phone to the AP created?
[04:06] <bkc_> hanslanda: sudo apt-get install xorg-server ?
[04:06] <LoneElf> What does support for 802.11s look like in ubuntu?
[04:07] <TJ-> same way as you do it to any AP
[04:07] <hanslanda> bkc_, E: Unable to locate package xorg-server
[04:08] <blackshirt> hanslanda, update your database first
[04:08] <blackshirt> Xserver-xorg
[04:08] <blackshirt> Not xorg-xserver
[04:08] <mamece2> TJ-: i see it!! but i would like to see if i can have internet on my mobile phone
[04:09] <bkc_> hanslanda: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/xorg-server
[04:09] <blackshirt> yes,exactly
[04:09] <bkc_> blackshirt: xorg-server...
[04:09] <blackshirt> Owh
[04:09] <TJ-> mamece2: As I said, you'll need to configure the PC to forward packets to the internet and masquarade (NAT) them
[04:09] <blackshirt> oh, source
[04:09] <bkc_> blackshirt: don't correct someone without backing it up ;)
[04:10] <blackshirt> thank bkc
[04:10] <mamece2> TJ-:  the iphone doesnt finnish to connect to the AP
[04:10] <bkc_> hanslanda: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xorg-server
[04:10] <cfhowlett> mamece2: iphone support is not offered here.  Ubuntu only
[04:11] <mamece2> TJ-: ok but i mean my mobile phone doesnt connect to the AP ive just created in ubuntu
[04:11] <TJ-> mamece2: are you giving it the correct passphrase?
[04:11] <bkc_> mamece2: still not realated to ubuntu in any way :)
[04:11] <bkc_> related*
[04:12] <mamece2> TJ-:  yes, its in some kind of loop . hostapd: wlan0: STA 44:d8:84:0f:52:64 WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN)
[04:12] <brianp1992> hello? can anyone see me?
[04:12] <TJ-> mamece2: That's good
[04:12] <bkc_> brianp1992: yes
[04:13] <brianp1992> bkc_ can you help me with swat?
[04:13] <bkc_> with what?
[04:13] <TJ-> mamece2: Remember I had you edit the pass-phrase; did you change it back?
[04:13] <cfhowlett> brianp1992: swa*p*??
[04:13] <mamece2> TJ-: look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1163803/
[04:13] <brianp1992> i have the web gui open but i cant figure out how to change settings
[04:14] <bkc_> brianp1992: I still have no idea what swat is :)
[04:14] <brianp1992> samba web admin tool
[04:14]  * cfhowlett files mental note; "SWAP" definition...
[04:15] <brianp1992> i have looked all over the web for some thing to tell me how to use it, but to no avail
[04:15] <TJ-> mamece2: That looks the same as my AP
[04:15] <brianp1992> hoped someone here could walk me thro it
[04:15] <afflicto> When I do CTRL+ALT+F2 how can I restart my GUI (i'm using gnome) ?
[04:15] <cfhowlett> brianp1992: that would appear to a server type application.  Perhaps the folks in #ubuntu-server might know???
[04:15] <bkc_> brianp1992: tried this one? http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html
[04:16] <OY1R> try startx
[04:16] <mamece2> TJ-: ok,, what if i want to deactivate the AP?}
[04:16] <brianp1992> yes
[04:16] <OY1R> afflicto, startx
[04:16] <afflicto> ok thanks
[04:16] <bkc_> brianp1992: well... what works or doesn't work?
[04:16] <wilee-nilee> brianp1992, you might also try #samba or #samba-technical
[04:16] <TJ-> mamece2: Stop the service
[04:16] <brianp1992> i got thro all that and i have it setup but i can figure it out
[04:17] <brianp1992> ill give that a try
[04:17] <mamece2> TJ-: ctrl+C  right
[04:17] <TJ-> mamece2: no!
[04:17] <TJ-> mamece2: You should now be running it using "sudo service hostapd start"
[04:17] <mamece2> TJ-: or sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd stop
[04:17] <TJ-> mamece2: that puts it into the background and it runs as a service, no need for the terminal at all now
[04:18] <afflicto> ok seems like screen sharing isn't working very well. How can I stop the skype process from terminal?
[04:18] <TJ-> mamece2: you can do that, but using "service" is better in many ways
[04:18] <afflicto> Seems like I need to find the process ID of skype. How can I do that? :P
[04:18] <bkc_> afflicto: sudo killall skype
[04:18] <bkc_> or sudo killall -s 9 skype
[04:18] <bkc_> ps -A | grep skype
[04:19] <bkc_> to get the PID...
[04:19] <b3rz3rk3r_> first one should work fine though and its easier to remember
[04:19] <bkc_> indeed
[04:19] <brianp1992> i guess theres no one at #samba
[04:20] <mamece2> TJ-: ok thanks very much! i need to sleep, tomorrow i will ask and learn more
[04:20] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, probably all editing their samba .conf's
[04:20] <TJ-> mamece2: Well done :)
[04:20] <brianp1992> hahaha good poin
[04:20] <brianp1992> point
[04:22] <brianp1992> #ubuntu-server is dead too.. :/
[04:23] <bkc_> brianp1992: probably they're sleeping... ask, and wait :)
[04:23] <brianp1992> lol ok
[04:23] <brianp1992> !info xdm
[04:25] <b3rz3rk3r_> what do you need help with brianp1992 ?
[04:26] <brianp1992> i need to setup a file share accessable from any other pc on my network
[04:26] <brianp1992> i have samba and swat
[04:27] <brianp1992> !info swat
[04:27] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, does it require security?
[04:28] <brianp1992> no none at all if possible
[04:28] <brianp1992> it just needs to be easy
[04:28] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you dont need to mess with swat then, just right click the folders you want to share
[04:29] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, oh unless this is a server?
[04:29] <brianp1992> its a drive i want to share
[04:29] <brianp1992> its /media/share
[04:29] <brianp1992> ehh its a server but i have an older verson of gnome on it for a gui
[04:29] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, is the drive mounted on boot?
[04:29] <afflicto> Where in the file system are applications install? I'm trying to find skype
[04:30] <bkc_> afflicto: which skype
[04:30] <flatlined_at_daw> can any one direct me to a ubuntu channel that will have info about wireless nic issues::
[04:30] <bkc_> (it's a command)
[04:30] <b3rz3rk3r_> afflicto, try Internet section
[04:30] <brianp1992> not shure but if it needs to be i can edit fstab
[04:30] <interlude> I can't seem to get colours working for the ls command when logging in through SSH to my system. I've tried editing the .bashrc file and changing --color=auto to --color but that didn't' seem to help. Any ideas?
[04:30] <bkc_> flatlined_at_daw: shoot
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you can just place everything in the root of the drive into a "share" folder and share that
[04:31] <sergio> hello
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, that would be the easiest way by far
[04:31] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, then you dont have to mess with anything in swat and it will just work out the box
[04:31] <Adran> How does one startup the DHCPd daemon on ubuntu? I cannot find a service named it in either init.d or service
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: sudo apt-get install dhcpd
[04:32] <brianp1992> b3rz3rk3r_ ok ill make a folder there, how do i share it?
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: or sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
[04:32] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, right click, share this folder
[04:32] <Adran> dhcpd3-server isn't good?
[04:32] <flatlined_at_daw> bcm-4311 - i can get it to work though upgrading past 10.10 but new 12.10 install fails to activation its propitiatory driver
[04:32] <bkc_> Adran: that works to
[04:33] <Adran> bkc_: But how do you install it?
[04:33] <Adran> s/install/run it/
[04:33] <natsirt> How to open terminal in linux?
[04:33] <cfhowlett> @ubuntu+1|flatlined_at_daw:
[04:33] <Adran> natsirt: gnome-terminal?
[04:33] <bkc_> Adran: sudo service start dhcpd
[04:33] <cfhowlett> #ubuntu+1|flatlined_at_daw:
[04:33] <TJ-> brianp1992: I'm logged into SWAT now - what are you trying to do?
[04:34] <Adran> bkc_: gives me unrecognized service.
[04:34] <bkc_> Adran: swap place on start and dhcpd
[04:34] <brianp1992> it just needs to be acessable from a winXP/win7  CP
[04:34] <brianp1992> and prefarably with out passwords
[04:34] <Adran> still nothing, bkc_
[04:34] <Adran> if I type `dhcpd` the daemon is there.
[04:35] <bkc_> Adran: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, if you have samba installed it will be. I'm pretty sure ubuntu has had it since about 10.04 as standard
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, if it needs anything else it will prompt you
[04:35] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, did you find "share this folder" ?
[04:36] <brianp1992> no its not in the list
[04:36] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, what version are you running>?
[04:37] <brianp1992> the latest but therewas no gui becausevits a ser ver
[04:37] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, you said you had a gui running earlier... so you dont have one?
[04:37] <Adran> bkc_: except the files such as /etc/default/dhcp3-server don't exist. thats why I asked here in the first place.
[04:38] <brianp1992> i installed an older gnome for a gui
[04:38] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992, it would be easiest to just put the shares into your samba.conf if you dont have a gui then
[04:38] <brianp1992> i have the webgui for swat tho
[04:39] <brianp1992> brb rebooting
[04:39] <flatlined_at_daw> noone home @ +1
[04:40] <ryty> okay I'm having some trouble with my logitech bluetooth dongle
[04:40] <flatlined_at_daw> it occurs after 10.10 in every version
[04:40] <ryty> normally in windows it works fine (sure that gets said a lot)
[04:40] <ryty> I think it's because the dongle never gets changed to HCI mode
[04:40] <ryty> anyone willing to take a stab at it?
[04:41]  * b3rz3rk3r_ stabs ryty's dongle
[04:41] <b3rz3rk3r_> done
[04:41] <ryty> har
[04:42] <flatlined_at_daw> where do i find the location of the drivers activated for the wireless nic and configs
[04:42] <flatlined_at_daw> and anything else that i would need to bring over
[04:44] <brianp1992__> i made a folder but theres no optiobn to share it
[04:44] <ryty> pastebin with lsusb and cat /etc/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hci.rules
[04:44] <ryty> http://pastebin.com/yX95KYaJ
[04:45] <KM0201> brianp1992__: what are you trying to share?
[04:45] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992__, this is what you need to do http://www.debuntu.org/guest-file-sharing-with-samba
[04:45] <brianp1992__> ight hold on ill check it out
[04:45] <b3rz3rk3r_> it doesnt matter if you have a gui or not (iv lost track now). it works the same
[04:46] <KM0201> yup, samba is samba
[04:46] <brianp1992__> wow, thanks a billion, this seems like what im looking for
[04:46] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992__, np mate, iv had my fair share of samba nightmares in the past too
[04:47] <KM0201> b3rz3rk3r_: really once you get the hang of samba, it's super easy
[04:47] <brianp1992__> i really can thank you enough, ive been at this for days
[04:47] <b3rz3rk3r_> KM0201, for sure dude, maybe im just a slow learner eh? :p
[04:47] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992__, easy when you know how
[04:48] <brianp1992__> i thing before i tdo this im going to autoremove all samba and swat and the superserver crap
[04:48] <KM0201> brianp1992__: you shouldn't really need to do that.
[04:48] <TJ-> brianp1992__: To enable editing privileges for SWAT, your user account must be in the group "adm" AND you have to give that group write privs to the config files: "sudo chgrp adm /etc/samba/smb.conf" and "sudo chmod g+w /etc/samba/smb.conf" ... then Ctrl+F5 on the web-page for SWAT and you will have all the config buttons available
[04:48] <Portaljacker> hi, i need some help with apache and ftp
[04:48]  * KM0201 has never used swat... so i have no idea about that.
[04:48] <brianp1992__> KM0201, trust me i have all the conf files all gummed up
[04:48] <b3rz3rk3r_> brianp1992__, make a backup of your samba.conf BEFORE you start messing with it.. trust me ;)
[04:48] <TJ-> brianp1992__: I just installed SWAT here, and that's what was needed to make it work
[04:49] <KM0201> what is swat anyway?
[04:49] <b3rz3rk3r_> samba web admin tool
[04:49] <TJ-> KM0201: Samba Web Administration Tool
[04:49] <brianp1992__> swat actually made it more confuseing that editing the conf file
[04:49] <b3rz3rk3r_> KM0201, it gives you a gui for server configs
[04:49] <TJ-> KM0201: it's built from the samba source
[04:49] <KM0201> ooh well that makes no sense.. .samba is to easy to set up to mess with that
[04:49] <Adran> bkc_: isc-dhcp-server cheers
[04:50] <Portaljacker> i installed lamp using task-sel when root was my only user, now i have a user in the admin group and when i use ftp and navigate to /var/www i can't add files or change the permissions
[04:50] <KM0201> i learned how to manually set up samba, when FreeNas screwed me, and i switched my server OS to ubuntu server.. had to learn to do all that stuff via command line
[04:50] <brianp1992__> yeah im going to start all over and follow this guide step by step all the way thro
[04:51] <KM0201> brianp1992__: you need help, i'll be here a while.. i've gotten pretty good at samba
[04:51] <KM0201> (well, at least configuring it)
[04:51] <brianp1992__> alrighty, ill be back and let you know if it works
[04:52] <KM0201> if you just need a default samba configuration file... i have an unchanged one if you want me to pastebin it.. just remove swat and you can start over
[04:52] <alien64> whats the off topic ubuntu channel?
[04:52] <KM0201> !ot
[04:53] <alien64> ty
[04:53] <Portaljacker> i'm very lost with what i have to do :(
[04:54] <KM0201> Portaljacker: whats the prob? (sorry if i missed it)
[04:54] <Portaljacker> [00:50] <Portaljacker> i installed lamp using task-sel when root was my only user, now i have a user in the admin group and when i use ftp and navigate to /var/www i can't add files or change the permissions
[04:54] <KM0201> ah, sorry, i dn't do lamp.. have you asked in #ubuntu-server ?
[04:55] <Portaljacker> have not been in there
[04:55] <Portaljacker> will try
[04:55] <KM0201> well, those are the server experts.. i'd try there
[04:55] <TJ-> Portaljacker: If you're using apache2, won't the user need to be in the "www-data" group, and the directory have write permissions for that group?
[04:56] <Portaljacker> i've seen a lot of things saying having www-data own that folder is bad
[04:56] <Portaljacker> mine is owned by root
[04:56] <Portaljacker> never made it that way
[04:56] <Portaljacker> just was like that
[04:56] <TJ-> Portaljacker: www-data is good. Are you using apache2?
[04:57] <TJ-> Portaljacker: the apache2 server drops privs and switches to run as the www-data user. So only directories with www-data can be accessed by it
[04:58] <brianp1992__> im testing it now
[04:59] <Portaljacker> T3- ?
[04:59] <Portaljacker> what do you mean?
[04:59] <brianp1992__> im gunna reboot and see it it works
[04:59] <TJ-> Portaljacker: I thought it was pretty clear :)
[05:00] <Portaljacker> so even though root owns www
[05:00] <Portaljacker> www-data becomes the owner when it has to do stuff?
[05:00] <KM0201> brianp1992__: you don't really need to reboot, you just need to restart samba
[05:00] <KM0201> but rebooting will work
[05:01] <isleshocky77> This is running at 21% and I've never seen it before. Any idea what it is? http://pastebin.com/pR9bcRYk
[05:01] <TJ-> Portaljacker: That's how all services run - they switch to a user account with less privileges than root once they've got started. That's security 101
[05:01] <Portaljacker> would that mean adding my user to the www-data group give me write access?
[05:01] <isleshocky77> Between the pid and everything else it makes me a little nervous.
[05:01] <ryty> anyone had a chance to take a look at my issue above?
[05:02] <TJ-> Portaljacker: It would, if that group has write permissions *and* the service is using *your* account privileges not it's own. An FTP server may well be using the ftpuser account
[05:02] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[05:03] <isleshocky77> Killing it off obviously kicked me off X

[05:05] <KM0201> nope
[05:05] <theixle> Hi, I'm having trouble with nvidia-settings. I think I've installed the drivers but I am still getting the error suggesting I run nvidia-xconfig (which I've done several times and restarted). Can anyone help me pinpoint the outstanding issue?
[05:05] <annon> I can't get it to install it keeps throwing unresolved dependencys at me
[05:05] <Portaljacker> do you have an optimus chipset? (found in laptops)
[05:06] <theixle> clan Portaljacker: Yes, I have optimus.
[05:06] <Portaljacker> i had the same issue
[05:06] <Portaljacker> the bumblebee stuff fixes that up
[05:06] <theixle> Asus 1215n netbook
[05:06] <Portaljacker> it took forever to set up right
[05:06] <Portaljacker> bumblebee makes you use the integrated by default
[05:06] <theixle> I've considered bumblebee but I'm really hoping to use my vga connected monitor as a dual monitor which I read you can't do.
[05:07] <Portaljacker> ah
[05:07] <Portaljacker> not sure then

[05:12] <Guerillero> is there a way to add an SD card with a USB version of ubuntu to windows 7's bootloader
[05:18] <mik_> wilee-nilee, are you still available answer some questions about my USB install?
[05:18] <wilee-nilee> mik_, sure
[05:20] <DrManhattan> I'm having a little bit of an issue with my /dev/video devices being swapped around when I reboot
[05:21] <afflicto> I'm running ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Shell (not unity) How do I install this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Grebiance+Modified?content=153556
[05:22] <afflicto> It seems I need some GKT3 thing and a Gnome Shell thing?
[05:22] <ForSpareParts> Could you guys recommend a good torrent client on Ubuntu that has RSS support I can manage from a web interface?
[05:23] <mik_> wilee-nilee, I seem to be having some stalling issues (3 hour update, grayed-out windows). Is there any way to speed up the response time? Is this because I don't have a swap partition? I downloaded "Dynamic swap space manager" (the only thing that showed up in the software center when searching for 'swapspace' per your suggestion).
[05:23] <Joe1> i need help installing vmware
[05:27] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: there really isnt one imho
[05:27] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: deluge is decent though
[05:28] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: I played with Deluge -- not bad, but I really need some way of doing RSS.
[05:28] <wilee-nilee> mik_, I doubt its a missing swap, but you never know the app you installed is what I suggested. You could set the swappiness higher with this. gsudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and at the bottom after the # put vm.swappiness = 10 then run this to load it, sudo sysctl -p   Now a USB will run slower in general, you have to be careful how much you are running in general could that be an issue?
[05:28] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: maybe if there was something that could be managed really well over ssh I could work with that
[05:28] <wilee-nilee> mik_, sorry this is the command gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[05:29] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: rtorrent then
[05:29] <MACscr> and flexget
[05:29] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: I'm reading up on that right now, actually. Sounds hellishly complicated, but probably exactly what I'm looking for.
[05:30] <MACscr> ForSpareParts: i gave up and switched to usenet. much better
[05:30] <wilee-nilee> mik_, A usb jsu does not run as fast as a internal HD, and if you are used to a SSD you wont get anything like it even with a usb flash unless it was a usb3 and then still slower.
[05:30] <wilee-nilee> just*
[05:31] <ForSpareParts> MACscr: How much are you paying for Usenet access, though?
[05:32] <zjhui1> hi , can i transfer info document into PDF ?
[05:32] <MACscr> $10 a month, though if i wasnt to lazy to switch i could do it for $7. Completely worth it
[05:32] <ForSpareParts> hm
[05:32] <mik_> wilee-nilee, thanks. It's not an issue of too many things running. Slowdown happens with everything. 'USB 2.0' drive in a USB 3.0 port. Not seeing anything like vm. swappiness in sysctl.conf
[05:33] <mik_> wilee-nilee, #
[05:33] <mik_> # /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables
[05:33] <mik_> # See /etc/sysctl.d/ for additional system variables
[05:33] <mik_> # See sysctl.conf (5) for information.
[05:33] <mik_> #
[05:33] <mik_> #kernel.domainname = example.com
[05:33] <FloodBot1> mik_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:34] <wilee-nilee> mik_, you have to add that. I have had greying out on a usb flash as well. You could shrink the partition using gparted on the ISO loaded live cd, and make a swap if you like.
[05:35] <wilee-nilee> mik_, you add vm.swappiness = 10 to that file ands run the command to load it
[05:35] <wilee-nilee> that will force the ram to go higher before using the swap,
[05:35] <mik_> wilee-nilee, sry, lag
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> mik_, I believe your waiting for a new SSD so a usb is a option best probably as of now unless you have a regular HD laying around it would run better.
[05:38] <mik_> wilee-nilee, k, getting slightly confused. There's gparted, which I'd have to run from that 8GB USB with the ISO to change the partitions in the 16GB. Will that reformat/erase what I have so far?
[05:39] <mik_> wilee-nilee, then the other option is inserting "vm.swappiness = 10" to the sysctl.conf file
[05:39] <mik_> wilee-nilee, not sure how to run that
[05:39] <mik_> wilee-nilee, are those my two options? Should I try both?
[05:41] <mik_> wilee-nilee, also, why does it run super smooth when I'm just trying out ubuntu from a USB but from an install it's slow as molasses?
[05:43] <wilee-nilee> mik_, The vm.swappiness = 10 will force a higher ram before swapping whether you have a swap partition or the app, the load command just starts it running. The gparted option if you choose resize, and slide the right end of the partition a little to the left leaving a unallocated for a swap partition will not mess with the install. You may have to add a mount the swap in fstab is all I can help you there as well. These are just options that I
[05:43] <wilee-nilee> can think of, you can load the startup applications with a command I can give you to shut down what is not needed as well.
[05:43] <mib_127ay0> hello
[05:44] <mib_127ay0> i got network error on Empathy IM
[05:44] <mib_127ay0> how can i fix it?
[05:44] <mib_127ay0> help me, please
[05:44] <wilee-nilee> mib_127ay0, can you pastebin the error?
[05:45] <wilee-nilee> !pastebin > mib_127ay0
[05:45] <mib_127ay0> it only show network error on empathy :-?
[05:46] <wilee-nilee> mib_127ay0, I can't really help you I'm sure, but those that can need to know that error.
[05:46] <wilee-nilee> if possible.
[05:46] <mib_127ay0> i can take a screenshot
[05:46] <mib_127ay0> because there is nothing to copy in pastebin
[05:47] <wilee-nilee> mib_127ay0, cool have that ready and post it in a imagebin as of now.
[05:47] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin > mib_127ay0
[05:48] <mib_127ay0> http://imagebin.org/225680
[05:48] <mib_127ay0> here is my screen
[05:49] <mib_127ay0> if i add another account, it will have the same error
[05:49] <mik_> wilee-nilee, was there supposed to be a '#' in front of the text you told me to enter? seems like that would comment it out
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> mik_, not sure why there is a difference from the ISO loaded usb and a full install might be the usb themselves. You can do a ISO load and have a persistance filling up the rest of the USB. I would use the 16 gig then, but a ISO loaded usb should not really be updated, and will eventually fill the persistence, which is not empty-able like a standards install.
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> mik_, no after the # at the bottom of that file.
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> below it
[05:51] <mib_127ay0> hi, somebody help me, please :-(, http://imagebin.org/225680
[05:55] <mik_> wilee-nilee, thanks. That part's done. Going to gparted. Not sure what it means "to add a mount the swap in fstab" or "shut down what is not needed". Should I be in the ISO drive for those actions?
[05:56] <mib_127ay0> @wilee-nilee: can you help me :-(
[05:57] <wilee-nilee> mik_, you have to use the ISO drive just for the resize with gparted, the fstab is accessed easiest from the install, a stanza to have the swap partition to mount will probably be needed. I will be gone for about 20 min so I will be back.
[05:57] <mik_> wilee-nilee, thanks again for your help
[05:58] <mik_> wilee-nilee, if possible, please message me when you're back, if you still have a few moments to help.
[05:58] <wilee-nilee> mik_, you will jsut add a swap parttion from gparted in the unallocated space left after shrinking the install partition.
[06:00] <mik_> wilee-nilee, k. I'll see if i can figure that out. Somewhat familiar with the program. Shouldn't be all too tough.
[06:07] <wilee-nilee> mik_, I'm back.
[06:09] <mik_> wilee-nilee, k, thanks. Won't run the commands for a few
[06:11] <wilee-nilee> mik_, in 12.04 thw startup applications is empty in spite of stuff start up if you run this command it will fill it and you can turn off what you don't need as well. sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

[06:23] <Mikness> wilee-nilee, back. It's muuuuch faster running on the 8GB ISO drive, without install. I started gparted, but I'm not sure how much I need to allocate. 3.88/15.23 used (11.35 free). Thoughts?
[06:25] <ph00rk> !ops
[06:25] <wilee-nilee> Mikness, In  normal install equal to the ram is suggested, but this is so you can hibernate. Not knowing your setup, I would suggest whatb you think might be needed. You may not even be swapping anyway. What is your ram amount you have on the computer?
[06:26] <fued> hi, i have just installed ubuntu onto my computer, just trying to figure out how to install video card drivers, i have downloaded the 64bit linux nvidia 304.37 drivers for it, as a .run file, but when i open it(in gedit?) it says The file you opened has some invalid characters.
[06:27] <Blue1> as a rule of thumb, I make the swap space 50% then physical ram.  God help you if you swap 4G of ram.
[06:27] <Mikness> Blue1, thanks, that's what I've heard
[06:27] <wilee-nilee> fued, YOu would want to use the drivers in the repositories, the only time you would do othewise is if you had no other choice.
[06:28] <Blue1> fued: generally bin files are not meant to be viewed.  and generally after installing a driver, you have to reboot -- did you reboot?
[06:28] <Mikness> wilee-nilee, I think it's 8. Maybe 6
[06:28] <wilee-nilee> Mikness, I doubt you are even swapping then to be honest.
[06:28] <fued> ill try rebooting thanks
[06:28] <Mikness> k
[06:28] <Blue1> fued: hope that fixes your issue
[06:30] <Blue1> fued the only time you need to reboot in Linux is after a driver install, or you can't get to consold (ctrl+alt+f1)  -- unlike windows, there is no such thing as a theraputic reboot
[06:30] <Mikness> wilee-nilee, I'm just trying to figure out why it's so damn slow. I can handle it being slower than a HDD, but it's ridiculous being slower when it's installed. Right?
[06:32] <wilee-nilee> Mikness, A usb has a limitation in speed by a considerable amount, it does not communicate with the computer at near the speed a internal drive does.  YOU might just use a ISO loaded usb with a huge persistence. How long till you get the replacement SSD?
[06:32] <wilee-nilee> not sure why there is a huge difference between the two drives, could be the 16 gig is just slow.
[06:33] <Blue1> SSD is slow - but you can speed it up, by using a non-journaled file system (like ext2) and adding noatime in fstab
[06:33] <wilee-nilee> Blue1, it is a usb flash is all.
[06:33] <Blue1> wilee-nilee: same info --
[06:34] <wilee-nilee> I know just saying it will run clunky no matter what.
[06:34] <Blue1> wilee-nilee: i have a recipe on how to make a bootable usb flash drive if you need it.
[06:34] <wilee-nilee> Blue1, I don't but the user Mikness would be interested I'm sure. ;)
[06:34] <Blue1> wilee-nilee: bootable the a running linux os I mean
[06:34] <Mikness> wilee-nilee, thanks for that idea. I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking of sending it back through Newegg, so I want to be set before I even have to do that. Also thought it'd be good to have an os laying around just in case. I'm not even sure what's exactly wrong with the SSD. That's the next thing I wanted to ask you guys (tomorrow)

[06:38] <Blue1> ryan_: sadly running ubuntu 10.04 and debian squeeze here -- no 12.04 - maybe someone else can help?
[06:39] <Mikness> Blue1, is 'noatime' really that beneficial?
[06:39] <ryan_> k thanks
[06:39] <Blue1> Mikness: it does speed up access, since it is not constantly updating - yes it made a difference.
[06:39] <Mikness> hmm
[06:39] <Mikness> I'll have to try that
[06:40] <Blue1> Mikness: I also did some testing with ext4 fs -- and noticed no significant slowing.
[06:41] <Blue1> Mikness: but this gives you as much speed from the device possible.  I still use this from time to time, when I dont have my netbook available.
[06:41] <Mikness> Well wilee-nilee , Blue1 , thanks for the help. I'll probably just run the ISO with persistence. I'll be on tomorrow to see if anyone can help with the core issue with my SSD.
[06:41] <wilee-nilee> Mikness, cool. ;)
[06:42] <Blue1> Mikness: that works as well.
[06:42] <subdesign> what UDF version do you recommend to burn blu-ray disc ?

[06:44] <subdesign> no 4.0 too
[06:44] <Blue1> subdesign: i was told no blu-ray in v 4 -- so I never upgraded.

[07:12] <legogris> Hi all... I have an annoying problem were I have a LUKS partition in fstab that gets mounted at boot. However, whenever fsck feels the urge to look at it at boot I get an error message telling me that "serious errors were found" on the disk. If I skip mounting and run fsck again it shows up fine and I can mount without problems.... What du you suggest? Maybe a race condition?
[07:13] <bekks> legogris: Do you use fsck or fsck -f?
[07:13] <legogris> bekks: At boot or afterwards when I check you mean?
[07:14] <bekks> legogris: afterwards.
[07:15] <legogris> without. shouuld I try with?

[07:51] <llutz_> zamn: grep menuent /boot/grub/grub.cfg    shows you the entries you made in /etc/grub.d/40_custom?
[07:51] <zamn> yes.
[07:51] <llutz_> zamn: but when you boot, the menu doesn't?
[07:52] <zamn> llutz_: that is indeed the issue
[07:52] <llutz_> zamn: you only have one harddisk, no RAID or such?
[07:52] <zamn> i have hdd's. One windows and One ubuntu. No raid.
[07:52] <llutz_> zamn: sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub
[07:53] <zamn> llutz_: that is my windows hdd. /dev/sda = windows /dev/sdb = ubuntu
[07:53] <zamn> i believe i have grub on both but i forget heh
[07:53] <llutz_> zamn: the bootmanager should reside in the MBR so /dev/sda is the drive to use
[07:54] <auronandace> zamn: you only need it on one (the one that bios is set to boot to)
[07:54] <zamn> ah okay
[07:55] <zamn> llutz_: okay i ran that command
[07:55] <llutz_> zamn: you have to reboot to check the result...
[07:56] <zamn> heh well can you help me with 1 more thing before i reboot llutz_ ?
[07:56] <llutz_> without knowing the thing? unlikely
[07:57] <zamn> llutz_: i have a cat5e cable plugged into my laptop which the other end is plugged into my router. For some reason ubuntu isn't showing it connected even though the connection is working
[07:57] <llutz_> zamn: "ethtool eth0"  check for "link"
[07:58] <zamn> llutz_: 	Link detected: no
[07:58] <llutz_> how does the connection work if ubuntu shows disconnected? zamn
[07:58] <llutz_> zamn: check cable
[07:58] <zamn> llutz_: because i have other things connected to the router and it works fine
[07:58] <zamn> they*
[07:58] <zamn> also its a brand new wire.
[07:59] <soman> what is the problem?
[07:59] <soman> oops
[07:59] <llutz_> zamn: do the nic-LEDs shine?
[08:00] <zamn> llutz_: are you talking about the laptop or the router? i dont see any lights on the port on the laptop and the router isnt showing a link
[08:00] <llutz_> zamn: check cable even if it is new
[08:01] <zamn> llutz_: what am i checking for? there are no bends and i can smell the new plastic on it lol.
[08:01] <llutz_> zamn: check what NIC your laptop has, if there are known issues with the driver
[08:02] <llutz_> zamn: try a different cable or this cable on a known as working link
[08:02] <ryan_> llutz am having problems with unity sidebar
[08:02] <llutz_> ryan_: nice, i don't know/use unity
[08:03] <ryan_> k
[08:03] <zamn> llutz_: i can verify its a problem with the laptop
[08:03] <llutz_> zamn: check driver, google for known issues
[08:04] <DrManhattan> I have 3 tv cards in my system. when I reboot, occasionally the cards are enumerated differently. How do I stop this from happening?
[08:05] <llutz_> DrManhattan: try defining your own udev-rule and assign a fixed numbering
[08:05] <DrManhattan> llutz, I have no idea how to even start that
[08:06] <ryan_> someone please help me out with unity sidebar
[08:07] <DrManhattan> llutz, can ya give a brother a clue
[08:07] <llutz_> DrManhattan: check the wiki, iirc there are tutorials for udev-rules. basically you tell udev: "if you detect pci-card xx.yy it is card no zzz"
[08:07] <llutz_> unfortunately udev speaks broken english as i do
[08:08] <llutz_> doesn't speak*

[08:16] <afflicto> AdvoWork: What logs?
[08:17] <llutz_> afflicto: /var/log/apache*
[08:17] <lewis1711> does anyone know what controls the splash screen you get when you log out? :)

[08:23] <Coder_1340> hi
[08:24] <jarco> hello Coder_1340  :)
[08:24] <Coder_1340> how can i setup the extended display monitor
[08:24] <hLushfzlis> umm...
[08:26] <hLushfzlis> anyone talking?
[08:26] <jarco> Coder_1340, did you try settings -> displays
[08:26] <afflicto> Ok it seems whenever I do require 'some/file.php'; I get HTTP error 500. :\
[08:27] <Coder_1340> but the resolution is incorrect
[08:27] <Coder_1340> it only has 640x480
[08:27] <jarco> its like one massive one right?
[08:27] <jarco> ohw
[08:28] <Coder_1340> but my screen have 1024x768
[08:28] <jarco> what graphics card family? Nvidia? ati intell?
[08:28] <Coder_1340> nvidia
[08:28] <hLushfzlis> i installed ubuntu, messed up, tries to boot from usb but still same
[08:28] <jarco> Did you install the nvidia driver or using the default one?
[08:28] <lostratega> hi
[08:28] <Coder_1340> i installed nvidia driver for my graphic card
[08:28] <Coder_1340> my laptop resolution is correct
[08:28] <Coder_1340> 1366x768
[08:28] <Coder_1340> but tha additonal monitor
[08:29] <jarco> you have to change it in the nvidia control center (don't know the name, i use intell)
[08:29] <Coder_1340> i will try
[08:29] <jarco> If I remember correctly you have to run the nvidia center as root to save it
[08:29] <jarco> but you can copy the generated file by hand
[08:30] <Coder_1340> if i set the generated file by hand

[09:09] <jFenton> Hello all. Definitely got here from the ubuntu forums.
[09:17] <AdvoWork> how would I go about setting up log rotation on a file, or would I need to write a bash script?
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> florian_  i haven't followed, but kernel 3.6 is not out yet, it's a release candidate
[09:22] <hateball> AdvoWork: It's described in the logrotate man-page
[09:22] <hateball> AdvoWork: Although I guess you'd have to google around for real world examples, as per usual
[09:25] <cristian_c> Hi
[09:25] <bkc_> o/
[09:25] <belgianguy> when I log in, the screen is jumbled for a second or so, but then it corrects itself
[09:25] <cristian_c> Do you know if webkitgtk supports the images management in the webpages?
[09:25] <belgianguy> anyone know why this happens?
[09:26] <belgianguy> and it's not the total width, about a sqaure size, with a band to the right that isn't jumbled
[09:26] <bkc_> belgianguy: I'd guess crappy drivers, but I need the log-files for Xorg to diagnose anything :)
[09:26] <cristian_c> I've looked for in the webkitgtk documentation, but I've not found anything yet
[09:26] <progre55> hi guys. I was doing an apt-get update on one of my servers, and getting "invoke-rc.d: initscript resolvconf, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing resolvconf (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" Any suggestions, please?
[09:26] <belgianguy> bkc_: where would I find those?
[09:26] <bkc_> belgianguy: /var/log/Xorg.[0-9].log
[09:27] <cristian_c> Do you know something about it? Do you have some other links?
[09:27] <belgianguy> it's an ATI gfx card btw, and I've had my share of trouble, so it could be
[09:27] <belgianguy> fglrx *shudder*
[09:27] <bkc_> belgianguy: post /var/log/Xorg.0.log on pastebin for example and I'll have a look
[09:27] <belgianguy> bkc_: will do, thanks!µ
[09:27] <bkc_> belgianguy: skip fglrx and rock mesa instead :)
[09:30] <cristian_c> *have got
[09:30] <belgianguy> bkc_: I wouldn't know what to look for tbh
[09:30] <bkc_> belgianguy: please no privs :)
[09:30] <belgianguy> http://pastebin.com/bh834uJq
[09:30] <bkc_> logged channel and so on :)

[09:33] <belgianguy> thanks, MonkeyDust
[09:37] <MonkeyDust> graag gedaan hoor :)
[09:37] <wolfgang__> Im just curious what is lost+found folder?
[09:37] <bkc_> belgianguy: I can't see any errors. however, you don't have a specific setup so it keeps falling back to defaults and this *might* mess things up if it flips form one mode to the other... I'd suggest setting up a proper xorg.conf with ati's configtool :)
[09:38] <k1l> wolfgang__: its a folder for files, that fsck repairs
[09:38] <bkc_> wolfgang__: that's the folder where dead files go... quite literary... kind of like how checkdisk did back in the old days (win95/98/me)
[09:38] <belgianguy> bkc_: well I've migrated this install from my old laptop (nvidia)
[09:39] <wolfgang__> k1l|bkc_ , is it important?
[09:39] <rax-> Any help on this would be much appreciated! : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544
[09:39] <k1l> wolfgang__: just leave it there
[09:39] <bkc_> belgianguy: that will probably **** all over your xserver config ^^
[09:39] <bkc_> wolfgang__: no, leave them
[09:40] <belgianguy> so aticonfig could help, then?
[09:40] <wolfgang__> k1l, just wondering because i don't have access.
[09:40] <bkc_> belgianguy: did you purge nvidia or just remove it?
[09:41] <bkc_> belgianguy: yes, reconfiguring with aticonfig will probably work :)
[09:41] <belgianguy> bkc_: don't remember, it's been like this for a while:)
[09:41] <bkc_> belgianguy: if you check @ line 118, you'll see the warning :)
[09:43] <bkc_> belgianguy: but then again, I havn't used ATI/AMD with anything other than mesa-drivers, so I could be completely wrong... but atleast it work mess up your system :)
[09:43] <bkc_> s/work/wont/
[09:43] <belgianguy> bkc_: I'm already impressed it still runs, after all I've done to it
[09:43] <belgianguy> learned a lot though
[09:43] <belgianguy> broke a lot, too...
[09:44] <ARizvanolli> hello
[09:44] <baizon> hi hi
[09:44] <bkc_> belgianguy: my laptop w/ archlinux was a virtual machine from the start... so If I want to, I could just boot it upp in VirtualBox and it still works just as it should :)
[09:45] <AdvoWork> I just ctrl + c, then ctrl + d'd out of a user, and see There are stopped jobs   whats that about?
[09:45] <bkc_> AdvoWork: that's normal, ignore it
[09:45] <AdvoWork> whats it mean though?
[09:46] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks!
[09:47] <bkc_> AdvoWork: It means, that a command you ran earlier was stopped when you terminated the login...

[09:47] <GeorgeJ> Does anyone know how to make totem read from stdin?
[09:47] <bkc_> totem < stdin ?
[09:47] <bkc_> totem < cat somefile.wav ?
[09:48] <k1l> wolfgang__: that is right. the recovered files belong to root
[09:48] <GeorgeJ> I'm trying to play an mp4 over ssh but totem just bails with "no 'moov' atom within the first 10 MB"
[09:49] <GeorgeJ> This is what I'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1164129/
[09:50] <GeorgeJ> Totem is the default media player that comes with Ubuntu, btw.
[09:51] <arvislacis> Hi all, I have question about Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or it isn't necessary?
[09:51] <k1l> arvislacis: if you install all the updates you already have 12.04.1
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> av
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> arvislacis: you will upgrade seamlessly
[09:52] <k1l> arvislacis: its like the servicepack on windows
[09:52] <arvislacis> k1l, Ok, thanks, but does I see Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS information in my System details?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> arvislacis: you will also get 12.0.2 and 12.0.3 using regular updates too
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> arvislacis: lsb_release -a    may show it, not sure
[09:52] <arvislacis> ActionParsnip, Ok
[09:52] <MonkeyDust> arvislacis  a simple sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade will do
[09:53] <arvislacis> I will try, thanks all.
[09:54] <arvislacis> Yes, seems that I have the latest.
[09:54] <arvislacis> Thanks all. :)
[09:58] <AdvoWork> bkc_, can I find out what that command was, just interested?
[09:58] <bkc_> AdvoWork: what it was, no... what it is before closing the terminal, yes... bg
[10:00] <bkc_> AdvoWork: or ps
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  tip: use alacarte to edit the menu, you can then see the properties of each command in the menu
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  or is that not what you mean
[10:02] <bkc_> MonkeyDust: no, he wanted to know how to see what programs were terminated after he closed down the terminal

[10:09] <zsolt_hun> bad superblock
[10:09] <dojhaoo> Hey, can i upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 kernel to 3.5.2??
[10:10] <bkc_> dojhaoo: they aren't compatable
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: is the input file just data?
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  not, 10.10 is too old
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: Maverick is also EOL, not supported any more
[10:10] <bkc_> zsolt_hun: what does image.raw contain?
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  plus, the latest supported kernel is 3.2
[10:10] <zsolt_hun> ubuntu mobile for nokia n900
[10:10] <bkc_> 3.4.9-1-ARCH
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: you can't just sling the Quantal kernel into Maverick and expect it to work
[10:11] <florian_> my kernel is  3.2.0-30-generic
[10:11] <zsolt_hun> tryed with bzcat img.raw.bz > /dev/sdd1 it is the same :(
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: what is the output of:   file img.raw     ?
[10:12] <bkc_> zsolt_hun: I'm guessing you're "doing it wrong(tm)" ^^... dd if=image.raw of=/dev/sdd
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  if you want bleeding edge, upgrade to 12.10 and ask support in #ubuntu+1
[10:13] <zsolt_hun> well,if it is wrong,how to do that properly?
[10:13] <dojhaoo> Yeah, but i m using this OS from a long time and have installed many packages so i don't want a fresh install..
[10:14] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  the version you are using is dead
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: your release is not supported anywhere you can name
[10:16] <zsolt_hun> to write this image to whole disk is not a option,since other part is used for maemo rootfs and swap
[10:17] <zsolt_hun> i followed the instructions step by step,but it is useless
[10:18] <dojhaoo> Today another problem arises, I m not able connect with ubuntu channel through XCHAT.  Is any1 can help me??
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: what is the output of my command please?
[10:18] <dojhaoo> really right now i m using browser..
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: on maverick?
[10:18] <dojhaoo> yeah...
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: its not supported anymore
[10:19] <dojhaoo> ActionParsnip: yeah but i was getting connect before 2-3 days..
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: doesn't matter, its still a dead release
[10:20] <zsolt_hun> syntax error
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> zsolt_hun: file ./image.raw
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  what you want is not possible
[10:21] <dojhaoo> MonkeyDust:  what do u mean??
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  we just explained what we mean
[10:21] <zsolt_hun> i'm on it
[10:22] <zsolt_hun> thank you
[10:23] <dojhaoo> exactly i said earlier that this problem i m facing today but 10.10 is not supported from a long time...
[10:23] <dojhaoo> so i donnt think it matters in getting connect..
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> dojhaoo: its like phoning Microsoft support to get a windows 95 question answered, they won't help you
[10:23] <MonkeyDust> dojhaoo  a lot of your technical issues will be solved after upgrading to 12.04
[10:24] <zsolt_hun> x.10 is short term and x.04 is long term support
[10:24] <bekks> zsolt_hun: No.
[10:24] <bekks> zsolt_hun: 11.04 wasnt a LTS release.
[10:25] <zsolt_hun> sorry about that
[10:25] <dojhaoo> Okay thanks, I m going to install it right now....:)
[10:25] <zsolt_hun>  Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open ...
[10:26] <zsolt_hun> it is the same
[10:26] <cristian_c> An other question

[10:28] <cristian_c> but when I check what software are installed in the virtual environment (with yolk -l), I don't find easy-deb in the command output
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  easy-deb and yolk do not exist in precise

[10:30] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, but there is virtualenv
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> !info virtualenv
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  maybe in debian, but not in ubuntu
[10:31] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, I've installed it by precise official repo
[10:31] <belgianguy> btw, can someone shed light on what the advantage of Wayland would be over X?
[10:31] <belgianguy> speed?

[10:33] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: what if yuo log into the Unity2D session?
[10:33] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, vith virtualenv I find in the virtual envoronment some software that I've not installed inside the virtual environment, but outside
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> florian_  keep it in the channel, please
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: the web will tell you a LOT more then 1500 people can
[10:34] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, How is it possibile?
[10:34] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (I don't know much about Ubuntu. I'm a Mac user... :-)
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  does not sound familiar to me, i'm sure someone else can help
[10:34] <belgianguy> ActionParsnip: but a good direction to start out in can be of great help :)
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: before you log in, click the ubuntu logo near your username and switch to the different session
[10:34] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, who? :)
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: or if gdm remains then switch the session however it is done in gdm
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  repeat you question from time to time (but not too often) and in 1 line
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> your*
[10:36] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, ok, I'll try to shrink it
[10:36] <cristian_c> Anyone has any ideas?

[10:37] <belgianguy> MonkeyDust: thanks, didn't know T.net even covered that
[10:41] <florian_> @MonkeyDust - ok i am patient :) .
[10:43] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: Yes, that mostly works. I have the top bar and a side bar which seems to have most of my custom icons in it. Thanks. How do I get to see all of the icons that I used to have in Ubuntu 10? Is there some way to convert the application menu configuration from Unity 2D to whatever is used when I log into 'Ubuntu' rather than 'Ubuntu 2D'?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> ronankennedy: not sure, the gnome-panel package is still in Precise. I've never done an upgrade tbh. I always clean install
[10:47] <ronankennedy> ActionParsnip: OK, thanks. Would you have any idea why I can't do anything when I log in to a normal Ubuntu session? Is there documentation on how to set up the new interface?
