[05:55] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: ha
[05:56] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: you're saying I have no swap … ?
[05:56] <tomreyn> oh this was your paste, then yes, that seems to eb so
[05:56] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: hmmm … well that's stupid of me
[05:56] <tomreyn> also your firefox was using 1.7 GB RAM of those 3 you have
[05:57] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: it *claims* I have swap
[05:57] <ltrottier_> or, frisk does, at least
[05:57] <ltrottier_> *fdisk
[05:58] <tomreyn> well then it's not mounted
[05:58] <tomreyn> Total swap = 0kB
[05:58] <tomreyn> ^ quoted from what you pasted
[05:58] <ltrottier_> hmm
[05:58] <tomreyn> try: cat /proc/swaps
[05:58] <dwarder> hey
[05:59] <dwarder> hello
[05:59] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: hmmmmmm
[05:59] <dwarder>  dumping master file: /etc/bind/tmp-KJNdtD38sg: open: permission denied
[05:59] <tomreyn> hello dwarder
[05:59] <dwarder> should i relocate this tmp file dir somewhere?
[05:59] <dwarder> or should i just add /etc/bind/* rw, to apparmor
[06:00] <tomreyn> dwarder: find out what created this file and hit the developer with a clue stick
[06:00] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: I have no idea why I there's no swap :(
[06:00] <tomreyn> dwarder: temporary files don't belong to /etc
[06:01] <ltrottier_> swap on -a reports "cannot find the device for UUID …
[06:01] <ltrottier_> (that's after I turned it off)
[06:01] <Jordan_U> !rootirc | root___
[06:02] <ltrottier_> mkswap reported success
[06:02] <dwarder> tomreyn: developer of BIND9
[06:02] <dwarder> tomreyn: ?
[06:02] <dwarder> tomreyn: this is upod zone transfer on slave
[06:02] <dwarder> upon*
[06:02] <Jordan_U> ltrottier_: mkswap creates a new swap "filesystem" with a new UUID. You need to adjust your /etc/fstab to match.
[06:03] <tomreyn> ltrottier_: so you have a swap partition in /etc/fstab but the UUID given there is wrong. run blkid on the partition which is to contain your swap (and which you have ensured doesn't contain important data and which you have run mkswap on)
[06:03] <ltrottier_> yup
[06:04] <ltrottier_> ok
[06:04] <ltrottier_> swap on works now
[06:04] <tomreyn> dwarder: seriously? well i don't run bind, but this really seems like the wrong location to store temporary files. maybe you have it chrooted with a link in /etc?
[06:05] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: I'm a bit confused as to how this happened, but I guess I'm glad it's back.
[06:06] <ltrottier_> … would certainly explain why Chrome was so crash-prone
[06:06] <herewebe> hello, i have a question? how do you install windows 7 over ubuntu? i cannot boot the cd?
[06:06] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: anyhow, thanks :)
[06:08] <tomreyn> ltrottier_: if the physical disk is old or you suspect that it's degrading, use smartmontools to inspect its s.m.a.r.t. data
[06:09] <herewebe> hello, i have a question? how do you install windows 7 over ubuntu? i cannot boot the cd?
[06:10] <tomreyn> herewebe: this channel is about ubuntu, not windows. ubuntu doesn't prevent your system from starting from cd-rom
[06:10] <herewebe> ok, well then how do i boot a cd after restart?
[06:11] <tomreyn> you insert a bootable cd-rom in your drive and ensure your bios will boot off it
[06:11] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: thanks for the advice. smartmonctl reports that all's well
[06:12] <excervo> herewebe, is your optical drive set to first boot?
[06:14] <tomreyn> ltrottier_: you will want to run a selftest
[06:14] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: in progress
[06:14] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: though just a short one
[06:14] <rigved> hi everyone
[06:14] <rigved> can someone please tell me where is the image (that is used on the lock screen in 12.10) stored on the computer?
[06:15] <tomreyn> ltrottier_: ...and learn about how to properly interpret the results for your very disk model (return values or their meaning can differ by vendor)
[06:15] <rigved> is it the same as the wallpaper location or is there some other place?
[06:15] <ltrottier_> tomreyn: ok. didn't know that. thanks
[06:15] <big_Man> I am trying to cd into a squid folder that is localted on a mounted usb drive and it is telling me I cannot cd into the (symlink?) folder
[06:16] <big_Man> Also I am dumb as hell and need adult supervision.
[06:17] <tomreyn> big_Man: is it really a symlink? use stat o it. if so, maybe the target does not exist? use readlink -f on it.
[06:17] <tomreyn> can't help with that last issue
[06:17] <Jordan_U> big_Man: What is the exact command you're running, and the exact output?
[06:18] <big_Man> cd /etc/squid
[06:18] <big_Man> -ash: cd: can't cd to /etc/squid
[06:18] <big_Man> but it shows up if I do ls -al
[06:18] <big_Man> It shows up light blue
[06:19] <RPG_Master_> I have a machine I'm using for video game emulation, and I had the neat idea that hey, maybe I can make a boot up animation for it? Does anyone know of a way for Ubuntu 12.10 to play a full screen video on boot to desktop?
[06:19] <RPG_Master_> fullscreen video, then exit to desktop for emulation frontend to load
[06:19] <coolot> newbie here with ubuntu...... got a question. I want to transfer my ACDC folder mp3 files to a different folder. how ever i have 54 subfolders and all i want is to copy just the mp3 files only not including the subfolders. how can i do it without accessing every each folder. i am trying to use the find command but it is showing all of my mp3 files.
[06:19] <tomreyn> big_Man: paste the single line of youtput you get when you run: ls -l /etc/squid
[06:20] <jnhghy> where can I find any documentation about quickly ?
[06:20] <big_Man> lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Sep  7  2012 squid -> /mnt/usb/etc/sq
[06:21] <tomreyn> big_Man: okay, tat's indeed a symlink. and the target exists?
[06:21] <Guest24567> I heard that linux mint was based on ubuntu and i wanted to see if this community might be able to help me with internet connection sharing
[06:22] <big_Man> Yes, the Squid whitelist exists and is currently working.
[06:22] <big_Man> ...much to my current dismay.
[06:22] <Guest24567> I have searched high and low for answers to this problem and have no idea on what to do next
[06:23] <tomreyn> big_Man: so when you run "ls -l /mnt/usb/etc/sq" it again gives a single line of output indicating this is a file?
[06:23] <moza> Hello. After an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04, i am trying to figure out why my documents won't print. They just all end up "stopped". Are there specifics steps to troubleshoot printing? Just now i can see my printer in system-config-printer.
[06:23] <Guest24567> I need to share my ethernet connection from my main computer over wifi to my laptop
[06:23] <Guest24567> can anyone guide me through this please
[06:23] <big_Man> t:/etc# ls -l /mnt/usb/etc/sq
[06:23] <big_Man> ls: /mnt/usb/etc/sq: No such file or directory
[06:24] <tomreyn> big_Man: so actually the destination of your symlink does not exist.
[06:24] <big_Man> Oh, ok.
[06:25] <tomreyn> big_Man: ...which means the error message is perfectly correct.
[06:25] <big_Man> That sucks lol.
[06:25] <big_Man> Thank you for your help however!
[06:25] <tomreyn> !mint | Guest24567
[06:26] <Guest24567> I just came from there. They weren't able to help me
[06:28] <tomreyn> Guest24567: same here
[06:28] <tomreyn> moza: if you want it detailed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems
[06:29] <tomreyn> moza: but you may want to try printing a test page first
[06:29] <moza> ok
[06:29] <tomreyn> moza: also try accessing http://localhost:631 and see whether you can spot an issue there.
[06:29] <moza> I am just trying and nothing seems to go through to the printer.
[06:30] <moza> The program says it sends the task properly though.
[06:30] <OpenSorce> Is it common for the 12.10 installer to sit at the "Preparing to Install..." window for 30 to 40 minutes?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> Guest24567: Unfortunately this channel still doesn't support Mint, no matter how successful or unsuccessful you are at getting Mint support in other channels.
[06:30] <Slart> moza: you've checked the syslog for errors that might pop up when you print?
[06:30] <Guest24567> Then let me ask you this.
[06:30] <tomreyn> OpenSorce: no, check your installation media for errors.
[06:30] <Slart> OpenSorce: not for a normal install, no
[06:30] <moza> Slart : i haven't
[06:31] <Guest24567> If I install ubuntu with unity does it have an easy way of accomplishing what I need
[06:31] <Jordan_U> Guest24567: Yes.
[06:31] <Slart> moza: run a "tail -f /var/log/syslog" in a terminal and then print something and see what pops up
[06:31] <moza> tomreyn : thanks, i now have a more detailed error message on the localhost::631 page. It is : "The PPD version (5.2.5 Simplified) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1." with a state at "stopped".
[06:32] <OpenSorce> Guest24567, that would depend on your needs, you may have stated them and I missed it though
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Guest24567: There are general GNU/Linux support channels, like ##linux where you can also try to get Mint support.
[06:32] <KidBeta> im wondering if its easy to use inbuilt command line tools to scale a arbitary image with a arbitary size and aspect raio such that say the x axis is 1000 and also keep the aspect ratio correct.
[06:32] <Guest24567> I need to share my ethernet connection over wifi to my laptop
[06:33] <Slart> Guest24567: I'm not sure if there is a special "share internet connection through wifi"-app in ubuntu but you might get away with doing the regular internet connection sharing and just specifying the wifi-connection as LAN (and that is almost the same on most linux-systems)
[06:33] <Slart> !ics | Guest24567
[06:33] <moza> slart : it gives me some "device already handled" with more details, i think i will try to find out more about the error message i got on the localhost:631 page, seems more informative.
[06:33] <Slart> moza: yup.. I would go with that as well
[06:33] <Guest24567> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[06:34] <Slart> KidBeta: imagemagick is great for that kind of stuff
[06:34] <Guest24567> That article is what I am trying to do, I have been trying to follow that article.
[06:34] <Guest24567>  http://pastebin.com/FY2Gpnjq I want you all to understand that I have read tons of pages on your site relating to this
[06:35] <Guest24567> I am using int because someone installed it for me
[06:35] <OpenSorce> Slart, funny thing about my issue... everything else is working... it's running the live usb, it's browsing the web, the screen is even putting a check or an X in "Connected to the Internet" on the preparing to install screen. I can exit out, restart it... no worries. Just sits there after I click next though
[06:35] <Jordan_U> Guest24567: This is your last warning. This channel does not support Mint. Please try Mint's support channels, ##linux, or other support options available for Mint.
[06:35] <sandeepr> on a 12.04 server, apt-get install glance fails due to hash mismatch error
[06:36] <KidBeta> Slart is it quick, the reason im asking is because im using OpenCV and SURF to do some logo recogition, but it takes a huge amount of time on large images so if scaling to a given size is faster i may as well :)
[06:36] <sandeepr> on another 12.04 system it works
[06:36] <sandeepr> so it seems specific to the server exhibiting the error
[06:36] <bray90820> is a live microSD card considered a live usb
[06:37] <Jordan_U> bray90820: As long as your boot firmware supports booting from it, they will act the same way.
[06:37] <OpenSorce> sandeepr, this may sound stupid but indulge me, is the date set correctly on that machine?
[06:37] <sandeepr> i have followed a few suggestions from internet - removing /var/lib/apt/lists, chaging the mirror in sources.list
[06:37] <bray90820> alright
[06:37] <tomreyn> moza: which printer do you have there?
[06:37] <moza> tomreyn, it's an epson stylus sx200
[06:37] <Slart> KidBeta: I'm not sure if Imagemagick is considered quick compared to other stuff.. but it's widely used for back end image processing.. just resizing an image is a pretty straight forward process so I suggest you give it a try and see if it works for you
[06:38] <bray90820> actually my question is in this guide is a live microSD the save thing as a live usb
[06:38] <bray90820> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[06:38] <KidBeta> Slart awesome thanks
[06:38] <bray90820> ping me i will be right back
[06:38] <rajumoh> sandeepr: have to tried cleaning the cache $apt-get clean ?
[06:38] <sandeepr> OpenSorce, yes the date is set correctly
[06:38] <tomreyn> moza:when you run "lsusb", what does it come out as (post the single line which identifies the printer only)
[06:38] <sandeepr> rajumoh, yes the apt-get autoclean, clean commands have been attempted
[06:39] <Slart> OpenSorce: if I were you I would try to run the installer from a terminal.. perhaps it prints out some kind of error message.. I have no idea how to run the installer though
[06:39] <OpenSorce> Slart, neither do I... very odd I think
[06:39] <moza> tomreyn, It gives the following : "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 04b8:0849 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus SX205"
[06:40] <moza> but is recognized as sx200 in cups pages.
[06:40] <molqr> hey nice ppl! forgot my password on 10.04 ... but can't reset it as i don't get the grub menu at start up.....  tried holding the Shift key pressed to make the menu appear but i don't get it... what now?
[06:40]  * bray90820 is back
[06:41] <Jordan_U> molqr: Boot from a LiveCD/USB, chroot in, and run "passwd your_username_here" from within the chroot.
[06:42] <molqr> Jordan_U: ok... will try it.. thanks
[06:44] <tomreyn> moza: try this: install printer-driver-escpr, uninstall *gutenprint*
[06:44] <moza> tomreyn, ok, i'll try.
[06:44] <rajumoh> sandeepr: have u tried all the commands in the list below ? try these, then do a update finally and then try installing your software. if all that does not work can u post a pastebin for apt-get errors http://askubuntu.com/questions/103834/how-do-i-force-configuration-of-partially-installed-packages
[06:44] <helmut_> hi
[06:45] <tomreyn> moza: the first step may already suffice actually. also run this afterwards: sudo service cups restart
[06:45] <moza> ok
[06:45] <moza> i'm more confortable doing only the first step :)
[06:46] <moza> Just in case i ever have to use a non-epson printer ^^
[06:46] <tomreyn> moza: ok, that's fine. check the web interface again after all these steps
[06:47] <wwwdotcom> Hello there. How do i make changes to gdm permanent. Everytime i logon i have to manually change my screen resolution to 1440x900 using xrandr command. I have added this line "xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900" in /etc/gdm/Init/Default file and restrated my system.
[06:47] <wwwdotcom> But that doesn't seem to work.
[06:47] <tomreyn> !hi | helmut_
[06:47] <wwwdotcom> My system again starts in default 1024x768 resolution.
[06:49] <OpenSorce> Slart, nope no output in terminal
[06:49] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: do you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? if so, can you üpst it to a pastebin, please?
[06:49] <moza> tomreyn, :) It works (at least it's printing something when i now ask the test page) The printer-driver-escpr also updated a bunch of things.
[06:50] <moza> tomreyn, thank you a lot!
[06:50] <tomreyn> moza: hmm did your system upgrade not complete sucessfully maybe?
[06:50] <moza> It might be the case.
[06:50] <moza> tomreyn, I don't know if there is a way to upgrade a posteriori?
[06:51] <OpenSorce> Slart, however deleting the entire contents and repartitioning worked
[06:51] <Slart> OpenSorce: not really sure what to try then
[06:51] <tomreyn> moza: try this (but don't confirm when asked): sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:51] <tomreyn> moza: the question would be, does this list a lot of files to install?
[06:52] <moza> tomreyn, ok, i'll try and come back to you.
[06:52] <tomreyn> good luck
[06:52] <moza> tomreyn, ok, no, not at all, 0 (things) to update/install
[06:54] <moza> tomreyn, but i had a weird upgrade. I run out of space mid-upgrade and nearly lost access to my raid array. Then i manage to salvage things, make some more space and finish the thing. Then first thing i did was to use gnome classic. In all that i understand there might be specific problems that went unnoticed.
[06:54] <tomreyn> moza: and "apt-cache policy" lists only references to "12.04" or "precise"?
[06:54] <wwwdotcom> tomreyn: No. I don't think so. There's no xorg.conf file in X11 directory. I think it's gdm setup. Here are the contents of /etc/gdm/Init/Default file, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591781/
[06:55] <wwwdotcom> Line 13 has been added by me later.
[06:55] <moza> tomreyn, yes it does, only 12.04 or precise.
[06:56] <moza> (in passing, thanks for teaching me basic checking commands tomreyn )
[06:56] <tomreyn> moza: then i guess you can be fine. you could reinstall all packages to be sure.
[06:57] <moza> tomreyn, i'll try to think about that if i encounter more packages with weird behaviour. Maybe i should for rhythmbox for example, it crashed on my lately.
[06:57] <moza> thanks again!
[06:58] <sandeepr> rajumoh, followed all the commands from the link. the apt-get install glance continues to fail due to hash sum mismatch
[06:59] <sandeepr> here is the output in pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591788/
[06:59] <tomreyn> well that's normal behavior for rythmbox :)
[06:59] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: which ubuntu version are you on? did you edit the PATH variable in this script?
[07:01] <rajumoh> sandeepr: dude first result from google http://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-updates-due-to-hash-sum-mismatch-error
[07:02] <sandeepr> rajumoh, this is what i mentioned initially. i have followed this.
[07:02] <wwwdotcom> Ubuntu 11.04. And no i didn't.
[07:02] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: actually i think your script shoudl work, is this screen really connected to VGA-1? run "xrandr" without arguments to verify.
[07:02] <rajumoh> sandeepr: :-p ok. missed that
[07:02] <moza> tomreyn, oups, that was too fast of me. It seems my yellow prints below what it really should.
[07:03] <tomreyn> !11.04 | wwwdotcom
[07:03] <moza> tomreyn, i also only have yellow and blue, but that is kind of expected, i might have run out of ink.
[07:04] <tomreyn> moza: hmm, that's hard to tell for me now. you *might* be able to inspect the volume of ink left in system settings -> printer
[07:04] <wwwdotcom> tomreyn, yes it is connected. xrandr output ==>  VGA1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 367mm x 230mm
[07:05] <wwwdotcom> Yes i will.
[07:05] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: "VGA1" or "VGA-1"?
[07:05] <moza> tomreyn, i'll look in the evening, i have to go for now, but maybe i need to align the ink heads or something, i seem to remember it was an option.
[07:05] <wwwdotcom> VGA1
[07:05] <tomreyn> moza: alright, good luck
[07:06] <moza> thanks have a nice day/night!
[07:07] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: dunno then. but you really need to update. your system has collected known security vulnerabilities since october last year
[07:07] <usr13> !upgrade | wwwdotcom
[07:07] <tomreyn> chances are upgrading will fix that, too
[07:07] <wwwdotcom> tomreyn, i am seeing this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html     Here two lines are also added. Maybe i should try that?
[07:08] <yashdgr8est> hello , i have trouble installing a driver for my raedon graphic card can somebody help
[07:08] <yashdgr8est> using 12.04
[07:08] <wwwdotcom> Yes, i am too thinking of upgrade. But for the time being i am on gprs connection. Once i get connected to broadband, i will surely upgrade.
[07:08] <tomreyn> wwwdotcom: i won't support an unsupported system. if the issue persists after upgrading, you're welcome to come by and ask again.
[07:09] <wwwdotcom> Thanks
[07:09] <yashdgr8est> help?
[07:10] <wilee-nilee> !details | yashdgr8est For the channel
[07:11] <usr13> yashdgr8est: lspci |grep -i vga  #Tell us what that says.
[07:12] <rajumoh> sandeepr: yeah the post says that its a know issue and says maybe waiting for a few hours or days and reinstalling might sove the problem . if its eating into your installation time and you want to get the installation complete then downloading the source and installing from source should not be a bad idea
[07:12] <yashdgr8est> I have trouble with installing driver for ati radeon graphic card I am running 12.04 lts .when i installing it from officila website i boot into low-graphics mode

[07:12] <Biomechd> how do i find out my video driver? in the "details" under "system settings", linux tells me the driver is unknown.
[07:13] <sandeepr> i'll leave this system as it is as i need to understand how to sort it
[07:13] <sandeepr> i have left it over the weekend in that state
[07:13] <scottrb> i really like the windows 7 feature of hitting the windows key and typing to launch a program right away. any package in ubuntu that enables that?
[07:13] <usr13> yashdgr8est: What did you install?  (What file did you download?)
[07:14] <wilee-nilee> scottrb, the windows key in the unity desktop brings up the dash search
[07:14] <usr13> yashdgr8est: jockey-gtk  should do it for you.

[07:14] <rajumoh> sandeepr: if the issue is related to the post we just mentioned then chances are glance would not install on the new server either.

[07:19] <Biomechd> tomreyn: does it matter if i use pastebin or pasteall? i have a tendency to use pasteall since it supports text, images, and .blend files all at the same time.
[07:19] <usr13> yashdgr8est: lsmod |pastebinit  #Send resulting URL
[07:20] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Where did you download amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64 from?
[07:20] <tomreyn> Biomechd: i'm fine with either
[07:20] <yashdgr8est> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591837/
[07:21] <yashdgr8est> usr13, i downloaded it from the amd website
[07:21] <Biomechd> tomreyn: http://www.pasteall.org/41597
[07:22] <tomreyn> Biomechd: so: Kernel driver in use: i915
[07:22] <tomreyn> Biomechd: you can verify this with 'lsmod', it should also list i915, the intel graphics driver.
[07:23] <Biomechd> tomreyn: so what proprietary driver would you suggest, if one's available? i'm not a hardware person.
[07:23] <yashdgr8est> usr13, ??
[07:24] <tomreyn> Biomechd: most likely there's none available for this video chip. and that's good as intel develops their main driver as an open source one.
[07:24] <tomreyn> Biomechd: which doesn't mean it performs well, but that's due to the hardmare primarily, not due to the driver.
[07:26] <histo> Biomechd: or you can lspci -k will show driver in use
[07:26] <yashdgr8est> help??
[07:26] <usr13> yashdgr8est: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.2-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64  is listed as "Beta"
[07:27] <tomreyn> Biomechd: run this to make applications show your hardware properly: sudo update-pciids
[07:27] <yashdgr8est> usr13, i didnt download the beta one
[07:27] <usr13> yashdgr8est: And I do not see the amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64 file.
[07:27] <tomreyn> Biomechd: also, which ubuntu version do you have there?
[07:27] <Biomechd> 12.10
[07:28] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I suggest using jockey-gtk
[07:28] <yashdgr8est> i tried it installed fglrx
[07:29] <tomreyn> Biomechd: hmm i'm surprised it doesn't know about this device then. anyways, after running that update, it should.
[07:29] <presonic> how would i completely disable my touchpad? (using external mouse)
[07:29] <yashdgr8est> usr13,http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591845/
[07:30] <yashdgr8est> usr13, but still my fglrxinfo gives a badrequest
[07:30] <presonic> nm sry, power of google
[07:30] <Biomechd> tomreyn: it's still saying unknown
[07:31] <histo> yashdgr8est: installation of the drivers from amd's or ati's site is not officially supported. You can use the repo ones
[07:31] <usr13> yashdgr8est: How did it work before installing the driver you have now?
[07:31] <histo> !ati | yashdgr8est
[07:31] <histo> !ati | yashdgr8est
[07:31] <histo> !ati > yashdgr8est
[07:32] <yashdgr8est> usr13, its same as before
[07:32] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Are you fully updated?  (Were you fully updated before attempting to install this driver software?)
[07:32] <yashdgr8est> yes
[07:33] <jnhghy> I'm trying to install qt on ubuntu 12.04, I've downloaded the .run file from http://qt-project.org/downloads I've runded chmod u+x on the .run file but when I try to run it with ./file.run I get syntax error: ")" unexpected is this error from the downloaded file?(I doubt it....) any advice?
[07:33] <tomreyn> Biomechd: hmm right my 12.10 system doesn't have it either after updating the database. i wonder why... anyways, it should already be working  fine, is it not?
[07:33] <yashdgr8est> usr13 ^
[07:33] <histo> jnhghy: any reason you aren't installing from repo?
[07:33] <jnhghy> on repo i found qt 4 and on qt-project 5.0.2
[07:33] <usr13> yashdgr8est: And it booted to Low graphics mode after initial install, (and after updates were applied)?
[07:34] <histo> jnhghy: do you need 5.0.2?
[07:34] <jnhghy> histo: good question, don't I?
[07:34] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Are you using VGA cable?
[07:34] <yashdgr8est> usr13 after initial insall , i had to revert to old graphics configurations to return in the normal mode
[07:34] <yashdgr8est> usr13,no
[07:34] <histo> jnhghy: if 4.0 isn't broken why are you trying to install something from source
[07:35] <Biomechd> tomreyn: somebody at #blender thinks my blender's crashing because of a video-driver-related issue.
[07:35] <usr13> yashdgr8est: HDMI?
[07:35] <yashdgr8est> usr13, no
[07:35] <yashdgr8est> usr13, laptop display
[07:35] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Oh, this is a laptop?  What is the make and model?
[07:36] <jnhghy> histo: I was thinking at the docs that should be more accurate on the current version then on an older one, also tutorials on the net should cover the current version then an older one, what to you think? should I go with qt4?
[07:36] <usr13> yashdgr8est: And you have 12.04 64bit, right?
[07:37] <yashdgr8est> usr13 32bit
[07:38] <histo> jnhghy: It depends on what you need. but if you don't need the latest and greatest version with bugs yet to be found. Then I would stick with a known working version.
[07:38] <usr13> yashdgr8est: What is the make and model of your laptop?
[07:38] <jnhghy> histo: good point, thanks for your time, I'll get qt4 from repo
[07:38] <yashdgr8est> hp pavilion g6
[07:39] <yashdgr8est> usr13, ^
[07:39] <tomreyn> Biomechd: 12.10 intel drivers aren't perfect, and your specific video chip _may_ not be too well supported by intel (an assumption based on the fact that it's hardware ID is missing on the universal hardware ID list which you just updated) .
[07:39] <tomreyn> Biomechd: something you can tr is updates drivers, or you may just wait 2 more days and upgrade to raring.
[07:40] <tomreyn> tr -> try
[07:41] <usr13> yashdgr8est: The default driver should work for you.  Not sure what the problem is.
[07:41] <yashdgr8est> it doesnt
[07:42] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I think I just installed on a laptop just like that one a few weeks ago and the display worked ok.  I made no changes.
[07:42] <yashdgr8est> the output of fglrxinfo  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591874/
[07:42] <yashdgr8est> the display works but no games work usr13
[07:42] <Biomechd> tomreyn: what's raring?
[07:43] <tomreyn> !raring | Biomechd
[07:43] <usr13> yashdgr8est: xrandr |pastebinit
[07:43] <Biomechd> ah, alrighty then.
[07:44] <yashdgr8est> usr13,http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591881/
[07:44] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I suggest you uninstall  amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64 and start over.
[07:44] <yashdgr8est> usr13, but then my laptop boots into low graphic mode
[07:45] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Looks like your screen size is 1368x768  Right?
[07:46] <yashdgr8est> yup,usr13
[07:46] <Don_L> hi, I have a .sql (http://pastebin.com/PsT8Pp7x) but it just hangs, how can I see what's wrong?
[07:47] <usr13> yashdgr8est: If you have a problem with the software you downloaded from amd, I guess you'll have to take it up with them.
[07:48] <yashdgr8est> but the fglrx driver doesnt work properly too ,usr13.I am unable to play supertuxcart
[07:48] <usr13> yashdgr8est: We can help you with Ubuntu but, this software is not supported here.
[07:48] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Should be radeon
[07:48] <yashdgr8est> but then tell me how to switch to intel  graphics usr13
[07:49] <vadimkolchev> hi all. Can I load music to my ipad 4 using ubuntu somehow?
[07:50] <Biomechd> vadimkolchev: theoretically, it should just be as simple as plugging your ipad into your computer via a usb-to-mobile cable and just dragging the files to the ipad as you would with external storage.
[07:50] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I don't know.  (And the fact that it shows to have two video chips in a laptop is not something I've dealt with before).
[07:50] <cfhowlett> !ipod|vadimkolchev, not easily ... and likely not without jailbreak but see IPOD
[07:51] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a HP g6 a few weeks ago and everything seems to have worked just fine.  (I did not, however, try to play supertuxcart, so...)
[07:52] <usr13> yashdgr8est: I wish it were here now, I'd look at it, but my grand daughter has it.
[07:53] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Was a nice system though and I did not have any problems with it, (other than being a bit confused by the BIOS settings for the f-keys).
[07:54] <usr13> Once I figured out there *was* a setting for it and set it back to default, I was ok.
[07:55] <usr13> I installed cheese and she seems to be able to record videos just fine and all that, so it seems to be working just fine, as far as the gpu ...
[07:56] <tomreyn> yashdgr8est: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI explains most, to uninstall an ati dirver you downloaded from their website, you'd use: sudo amdconfig --uninstall
[07:57] <usr13> yashdgr8est: Looks like tomreyn has found the information you need.
[07:58] <tomreyn> yashdgr8est: i don't know which hardware you have there exactly, but it can be a good idea to try the default open source "radeon" driver before you experiment with the proprietary one again. this open source driber is discussed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[07:59] <tomreyn> and yes you can run games with that
[07:59] <usr13> tomreyn: 6400m
[07:59] <Don_L> hi, I have a .sql (http://pastebin.com/PsT8Pp7x) but it just hangs, how can I see what's wrong?
[07:59] <tomreyn> the proprietary one, if it works, will usually provide better performance, though
[08:00] <tomreyn> Don_L: files don't hang. maybe you did something with the file and that hung?

[08:00] <tomreyn> thanks usr13
[08:00] <tomreyn> i suspect he's gone, anyways
[08:01] <Biomechd> tomreyn: so my laptop just froze for a few minutes, and when it un-froze, my touchpad would only scroll and i had to rely on the little pressure button thing in the middle of my keyboard to move the cursor around. how can i reactivate the touchpad's cursor-moving ability?
[08:01] <Don_L> tomreyn: well when I run the @file.sql it hangs that's what I'm saying
[08:01] <usr13> tomreyn: yashdgr8est appears to be still on the channel.
[08:01] <tomreyn> usr13: AFK is what i meant
[08:02] <tomreyn> and no loner :)
[08:02] <tomreyn> s/loner/longer/
[08:03] <tomreyn> Biomechd: umm, unless you changed anything this shouldn't happen. try whether it's fixed after a reboot, and inspect you /var/log/syslog*
[08:03] <tomreyn> *youR
[08:03] <opiciak> hi everyone, i've installed a program from source on my ubuntu server and i would like to run it as a service (so that its "always" running), does anyone know of a good guide on how to do that? any help appreciated. thanks.
[08:04] <tomreyn> Don_L: ask in #mysql, please, this is too detailed for here.
[08:04] <Biomechd> tomreyn: i was hoping reboots wouldn't be the only solution. my laptop does this from time to time.
[08:05] <tomreyn> Biomechd: sounds like a hardware issue. if you're lucky it's not but actually a software issue, in which case you should find information on it in syslog.
[08:05] <auronandace> Biomechd: if you know the touchpads driver you could modprobe it
[08:06] <auronandace> Biomechd: lsmod will list modules that are currently loaded
[08:07] <tomreyn> Biomechd: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Troubleshooting
[08:11] <Biomechd> tomreyn: the only possible thing that might help on that link is the "sudo trackpad" command, which apparently isn't a valid command.
[08:14] <tomreyn> Biomechd: wll synclient might help and it could be related to hibernating.
[08:17] <Biomechd> tomreyn: i found a "TouchPadOff = 2" in that output
[08:18] <starbuck> hello, how can i search through previous commadsn in terminal? like i write the first 2 or three letters of that command and it shows all previous commands which startet with those latter?
[08:19] <Sarlaccpit> starbuck: history | grep commnd
[08:20] <k1l_> starbuck: press ctrl+r
[08:20] <tomreyn> or press ctrl-r, then type the first letters of that command again
[08:21] <tomreyn> and again ctrl-r to jump to the one before that
[08:21] <starbuck> thanks Sarlaccpit and k1l_
[08:21] <starbuck> and tomreyn :)
[08:22] <tomreyn> phew :-)
[08:28] <Jpmh> starbuck: set -o vi then you can actually use simple edit commands like <esc>k for previous, /what for searcgh etc - vi editing commmands
[08:31] <reghina> hi
[08:31] <reghina> I need to upgrade firefox and I do not know how. Can anybody help me?
[08:33] <Ben64> reghina: run the update manager?
[08:34] <reghina> Where do I find it Ben64?
[08:34] <reghina> I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu
[08:35] <Ben64> or just open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade"
[08:35] <reghina> ok thank you
[08:35] <Ben64> that upgrades every package you have
[08:35] <Ben64> it should do it automatically on a regular basis
[08:36] <cfhowlett> reghina, suggest you also run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:37] <reghina> It seems that I cannot put my password on the terminal...it does not appear when I digit
[08:38] <reghina> reghina@reghina-XPS-M1330:~$ sudo apt-get update;
[08:38] <cfhowlett> reghina, password is NOT displayed when typing it in ... security measure
[08:38] <reghina> [sudo] password for reghina:
[08:38] <reghina> laSorry, try again.
[08:38] <reghina> [sudo] password for reghina:
[08:38] <reghina> lalaSorry, try again.
[08:38] <reghina> [sudo] password for reghina:
[08:38] <FloodBot1> reghina: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:38] <reghina> lalala
[08:41] <reghina> it's very strange what's happening with my password. I know is not suppose to be displayed but you must see the little star symbol when you write it...right?
[08:41] <koskoz> hi, I've added a program, PHPStorm, to /usr/local
[08:42] <dituna> how to connect chat forum
[08:42] <koskoz> I'd like to add it to the launcher and the dash, how can I do it?
[08:42] <koskoz> Inside PHPStorm's folder there's a bin directory with a .sh launching the program
[08:44] <reghina> When I digit my pass in the Ubuntu terminal it is not considered and I'm asked again for it! What should i do?
[08:44] <reghina> Can somebody give me a hard?
[08:44] <tomreyn> reghina: no you dont, as this would still indicate the lendth of it to someone watching your screen (but not your fingers on the keyboard) over your shoulder.
[08:44] <cfhowlett> !password|reghina
[08:45] <tomreyn> reghina: i was responding to " you must see the little star symbol when you write it...right?"
[08:45] <reghina> Ok Tomreyn ..thank you
[08:45] <reghina> Why is asking me for the pass again then?
[08:45] <tomreyn> reghina: you probably typed it incorrectly.
[08:45] <cfhowlett> reghina, because you're not entering the correct password.
[08:46] <tomreyn> reghina: check whether caps lock is on
[08:46] <reghina> ok...I did not considered myself so stupid...but you never know!
[08:46] <reghina> Ok ..thank you..l'll check
[08:51] <bray90820> Anyone ever installed ubuntu on a windows 8 tablet
[08:53] <DJones> bray90820: You might get better suggestions for that if ask in #ubuntu-touch
[08:53] <cfhowlett> !touch|bray90820,
[08:53] <BlackWeb> If I want to block a Ip Address from accessing my network Do I just add    ALL: IPAddress to hosts.deny
[08:53] <reghina> I was digiting the wrong pass! Thank you .....feeling stupid now but risolved a huge problem!
[08:53] <g105b> What's a good codec to record the entire screen with? I'm using ffmpeg, recording to mp4, and the filesize is growing 100mb per minute :/
[08:54] <bray90820> i was looking to install the desktop version
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: if the tablets supports normal Os installing you can give it a try
[08:55] <bray90820> i just can't seem to boot from any other disc but the internal one
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: but if it needs touchscreen support, desktop version wont work
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: you will need the ubuntu touch like cfhowlett says
[08:55] <bray90820> no
[08:55] <bray90820> i can use the desktop version
[08:56] <tomreyn> g105b: that would be prior to encoding, i guess
[08:56] <DJones> bray90820: Tablets are pretty specialised, I'd say ask in there to see if anybody has managed to get anything installed onto a windows tablet, they're likely to be able to give some pointers
[08:56] <bray90820> but i am using the desktop version
[08:56] <bray90820> why would i ask about a desktop os in a tablet os channel
[08:57] <bray90820> i already have this guide
[08:57] <bray90820> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[08:57] <bray90820> i just cant seem to turn off fast or quick boot
[08:58] <g105b> Can anyone recommend video editing software for screencasts? I am editing a screencast and want to be able to speed certain parts of the video while not affecting the audio track.
[08:58] <tomreyn> BlackWeb: use iptables instead.
[08:59] <BlackWeb> alright so will that work though ALL: IPaddress     in /etc/hosts.deny
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: so try to install dekstop version on your device, see what happens
[09:00] <BlackWeb> mainly with Iptables there reset if system is rebooted
[09:00] <bray90820> well i cant boot from the live disk because i cant seem to disable quick or fast boot
[09:00] <cfhowlett> bray90820 obviously, Touch is optimized for pads and desktop is not.  Your device/your choice.  good luck with all that.  I suspect more users will attempt and succeed with the touch version than the desktop OS
[09:00] <andy> hello
[09:01] <cfhowlett> andy, greetings
[09:01] <bray90820> well there should be a way to disable fast and quick boot
[09:01] <andy> nice to meet you
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> bray90820: try ##hardware to findout bios tricks for your device
[09:02] <bray90820> alright
[09:02] <bray90820> thank you
[09:04] <tomreyn> BlackWeb: you can use iptables-save/restore. an entry in /etc/hosts.deny will not keep someone out of you *network*, just reject access to the system it is configured on.
[09:05] <subha_> Hi, need some help for installing Ubuntu on Mac
[09:05] <subha_> anyone there?
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> !ask | subha_
[09:06] <tomreyn> 1676 people and bots including you are here
[09:06] <ekiwok> !patience
[09:06] <subha_> thanks, ok how do i install ubuntu on mac
[09:06] <Ben64> !mac
[09:06] <subha_> i have reffit installed
[09:07] <ekiwok> subha_ do you want install it instead of OS X or be able to boot both OS ?
[09:07] <subha_> no both
[09:09] <subha_> ekiwok: i want to have both mac and ubuntu
[09:10] <ekiwok> subha_ have you considered using VirtualMachine instead of full installation? It is usually better solution
[09:12] <subha_> ekiwok i want to install it completely, virtual machines slows down the laptop and the curser movement is really irritating, i want a proper installation
[09:13] <ekiwok> subha_ ok here is nice step by step - http://lifehacker.com/5934942/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-your-mac-and-take-back-your-powerhouse-apple-hardware
[09:15] <Gumby`> hi all.  I am trying to create a .deb from a ppa source. I am getting the error "dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (used by debian/libmyth-0.26-0/usr/lib/libmythtv-0.26.so.0.26.0)"  I do have a /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 symlink that points to  libGL.so.310.44. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[09:15] <Gumby`> Does anyone have any suggestions ?
[09:17] <subha_> thanks ekiwok, but there is some problem with the CD drive, pls tell me how to use a flash drive for installation
[09:17] <histo> !find libGL.so.1 | Gumby`
[09:18] <Gumby`> histo: thanks, the file does exist (although it is a symlink)
[09:18] <ekiwok> subha_ if you want to make bootable ubuntu pendrive the easiest way to do this is use UnetBootin free programa available for OS X, linux and Windows
[09:18] <Gumby`> and I already have nvidia-current installed, the libGL.so.1 that the bot returned isnt located at /usr/lib either
[09:18] <histo> bray90820: what kind of tablet are you working with?
[09:19] <bray90820> Asus VivoTab
[09:19] <bray90820> the ntel version
[09:19] <histo> bray90820: any idea what processor it's using?
[09:19] <bray90820> Intel atom
[09:20] <histo> bray90820: yeah there isn't linux support for that z2760 cpu at the moment. I have the same issue with the a tablet I have.
[09:21] <subha_> ekiwok, thanks man, let me download UnetBootin and do that
[09:21] <ekiwok> subha_ also there is usefull trick for all systems with bash dd if=path/to/image.iso of/dev/disk0
[09:21] <histo> bray90820: http://techedunews.com/intel-atom-processor-no-linux-support-for-tablet-processor/  here's a news story there are tons of them on the web.
[09:21] <histo> !usb | subha_
[09:21] <bray90820> histo: well actually that's not even my problem
[09:21] <bray90820> i cant disable secure boot or fast boot in the bios
[09:21] <subha_> hoi, i don't want a live CD, i want a permanent installation, will UnetBootin help for that?
[09:21] <ekiwok> subha_ it copies bit by bit all dada from input file to disk, you may use it to fast creating bootable pendrive but be carrefull
[09:22] <histo> bray90820: In my bios I was able to disable secure boot but there was no option for fast boot
[09:22] <subha_> permanent installation on my HDD
[09:22] <bray90820> well ehen i try to disable it it just reinables when i exit
[09:22] <bray90820> and yes i did save it
[09:22] <hXm> hi, i have an issue with sync, it works until find some error and stop working without notice, looks like done the job but copied nothing
[09:22] <histo> bray90820: I should correct in my firmware not bios. I couldn't disable UEFI either. It should be a UEFI only 32bit chip if you have the same setup as me.
[09:22] <bray90820> and by the way it is supported now
[09:22] <bray90820> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[09:23] <histo> bray90820: That CPU isnt' supported by the kernel. I can get grub to load but not linux
[09:23] <subha_> ekiwok I want to install Ubuntu on my hard disk using a external hard disk
[09:23] <ekiwok> subha_ you shoud use unetbootin to create on your flash drive bootable copy of install DVD/CD and then use it as CD/DVD to install Ubuntu
[09:23] <bray90820> ok
[09:23] <ekiwok> subha_ ok so there is no difference between flash drive and hard disk
[09:23] <bray90820> histo: i can't even get that far
[09:23] <histo> bray90820: It's not an issue with UEFI... It's an issue with the linux kernel and the atom z2760 cpu. Also ubuntu I don't believe has 32bit efi images on their installation media
[09:24] <bray90820> i can't get as far as you
[09:24] <bray90820> i am using the x64 bit
[09:24] <ekiwok> subha_ I dont have much experience with OS X, are you able to run UnetBootin as root on OS X to avoid this error?
[09:24] <histo> bray90820: You could if you tried what I did. There is a debian wheezy 32bit uefi iso around. I pulled the grub efi from that and booted.
[09:24] <histo> bray90820: That's a 32bit only cpu btw
[09:25] <bray90820> how did you get grub to load
[09:26] <histo> bray90820: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/efi-development/upload4/  Grub efi will load from these iso but any linux kernel you try will hang. Intel is allegedly going to support linux on this CPU at some point.
[09:26] <subha_> ekiwok my cd/dvd drive is not working and i want to use a ext hard disk for installation
[09:27] <bray90820> histo: how did you get the iso to load
[09:27] <histo> bray90820: I'm sure there is some kernel mail list you can post to about the issue of having no cpu support for the Atom z2760 cpu
[09:27] <bray90820> histo: right now i am not talking about a kernal problem
[09:27] <bray90820> i am talking about being able to boot a live disk
[09:29] <bray90820> because i can't even get a boot menu to select what to boot
[09:29] <histo3> bray90820: it won't work trust me....
[09:29] <raziel> CIAO
[09:29] <bray90820> but i can still try
[09:29] <histo3> bray90820: on my device holding I can add a efi selectino using the firmware via a filesystem. Or I can hold the down volume key and get a menu
[09:30] <bray90820> i can get into the uefi by holding down the volume button
[09:30] <histo3> bray90820: You cannot boot a linux kernel on it trust me. I wasted weeks of time before I realized what the issue was.  Once you overcome the fact that no distros even have 32bit efi images for grub. Then you will realize the kernel won't work with that CPU.
[09:30] <bray90820> but then where do i go from there
[09:31] <bray90820> histo3: i am aware it won't work
[09:31] <histo3> bray90820: you bug a kernel dev or intel to write support for that CPU, and notify me when it's present in the kernel so I can run linux on my tablet as well.
[09:31] <bray90820> but i just want to know how to boot from a disk on the thing
[09:32] <bray90820> histo3: i just want to know how to boot from a disk
[09:32] <histo3> bray90820: Hook up a usb keyboard and go into the firmware/bios. Or hold the volume up key to get in the firmware/bios may work.
[09:32] <bray90820> yes then what do i do
[09:32] <histo3> bray90820: You can't boot form a disk...  ATM the device only runs Windows
[09:34] <bray90820> but you were able to boot something atleast
[09:34] <bray90820> how did you do it
[09:35] <bray90820> even if it did hang
[09:35] <histo3> bray90820: I didn't boot anything just used a efi application
[09:35] <bray90820> lets pretend ubuntu worked
[09:35] <bray90820> how would i boot it
[09:36] <histo3> bray90820: You would boot off of usb with 32bit efi grub to load the kernel.
[09:36] <bray90820> but how
[09:36] <cholby> I dated a guy named Ubuntu once.
[09:36] <cholby> He would "play the bongos" on my ass.
[09:37] <cholby> fag
[09:37] <histo3> bray90820: if you want to see grub or efi shell load partition a thumbdrive with gdisk or cgdisk and create an efi partition. then format that partition to fat32 and put your grub32 bit file or 32bit efi shell file there. It will then be in the boot menu
[09:37] <bray90820> histo3: why wouldn't this work
[09:37] <bray90820> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[09:38] <histo3> bray90820: Because you have a 32bit cpu and ubuntu doesn't have efi support for anything 32bit at the moment
[09:38] <histo3> bray90820: also the linux kernel doesn't support your CPU
[09:38] <bray90820> i have a 64bit cpu
[09:38] <histo3> bray90820: please take 5 seconds and read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(system_on_chip)#Operating_system_support_on_Cloverview
[09:39] <histo3> bray90820: No you don't have a 64bit cpu
[09:39] <bray90820> yes i do
[09:39] <histo3> bray90820: Intel has announced that it won't provide support for Linux on Cloverview family of Atom systems-on-a-chip.[49][50] This announcement has caused strong negative reaction from open source proponents.[51] A few days later Intel issued a statement saying that it has “plans for another version of this platform directed at Linux/Android"[51][52]
[09:40] <histo3> bray90820: boot to windows 8 and take a look at your system. You will notice it's 32bit version of Windows 8
[09:43] <bray90820> histo3: sorry if i am sounding mean
[09:44] <histo3> bray90820: Your not... I'm just trying to save you frustration.
[09:44] <bray90820> and i am aware that linux is not supported on it
[09:44] <bray90820> but i want to know how to boot a compatible os
[09:44] <gustav> Since when does Intel support Linux on anything?
[09:44] <histo3> bray90820: I have to go i'll be back on in about an hour if you want to discuss further.  For some reading you can see people struggling with other tablets that have your CPU like the Dell Latitude 10 or the acer iconia w500 I believe.
[09:45] <bray90820> i will be in bed
[09:45] <bray90820> but thanks anyways
[09:45] <histo3> gustav: servers
[09:45] <bray90820> but yes i do have an x86 processor
[09:45] <gustav> histo3: But isn't it mostly a co-incidence that Linux runs on it? Like it was in the beginning.
[09:45] <histo3> bray90820: You can boot and load 32bit efi shell . Its on sourceforge somewhere. but you can only boot it from usb or plopping it in your current efi partition.
[09:46] <histo3> gustav: No idea I just know that this CPU will not run a linux kernel.
[09:46] <histo3> gustav: or anything other than Windblows
[09:46] <gustav> histo3: Lazy hackers.
[09:46] <histo3> gustav: Who is?
[09:47] <snuggl> or it includes some media-industry BS that they cant distribute
[09:47] <gustav> histo3: Kernel developers. Linux runs on Macbook which isn't supposed to run anything other than Mac OS X.
[09:47] <snuggl> so they release a new version without it
[09:47] <snuggl> wouldnt be the first time
[09:48] <histo3> gustav: I idon't think they are lazy they do lots of work. As more people have this CPU someone smarter than I will be able to write code to make it work. And then I'd assume some of the distros would have 32bit efi grub files due to the demand.
[09:48] <gustav> histo3: I have no idea why it doesn't work.
[09:49] <histo3> gustav: Probably some new instruction set or something goofy that hangs the kernel
[09:49] <gustav> Words like "demand" are just stop words.
[09:49] <histo3> Either way I have to go be back in an hour.
[09:49] <gustav> histo3: Bye.
[09:49] <gustav> TTTTY just set my computer on fire.
[09:51] <andy> how about gnome-menus?
[10:00] <theodorDiaconu> I'm on Mac OS and I am trying to make an Ubuntu usb disk for Windows, I cannot make it boot
[10:02] <theodorDiaconu> I am now installing CD boot helper ... maybe that will solve anything
[10:03] <cfhowlett> theodorDiaconu, WAY too complicated.  switch machines.
[10:04] <theodorDiaconu> cfhowlett: what do you mean ?
[10:04] <cfhowlett> theodorDiaconu, unetbootin will make a bootable usb
[10:05] <theodorDiaconu> cfhowlett: yes, I have tried it, and it simply doesn't boot on the windows machine
[10:05] <cfhowlett> theodorDiaconu, thus my suggestion that you switch machines.  download the ISO.  copy it to a windows machine with unetbootin installed and make the usb
[10:08] <ben1253> anybody know working sis 671 vga driver?
[10:08] <Robbery1> ben1253

[10:08] <theodorDiaconu> cfhowlett: I will try
[10:09] <ben1253> Robberyl:why?
[10:09] <cfhowlett> theodorDiaconu, best of luck
[10:18] <hachre> hi guys
[10:20] <hachre> ive set up hibernation for my laptop cause suspend doesnt work and it worked fine for weeks, however for a few days it has stopped even trying to resume... a hibernate is essentially like a shutdown now except that it creates the image on shutdown but it doesnt try to boot it on reboot, is there a location where i can set up which swap device to use or something? i have looked at the logs and except pm-suspend saying that hibernate was a strik
[10:20] <Robbery1> hi hachre
[10:20] <Robbery1> yo
[10:20] <Robbery1> sup
[10:21] <Otie> Can I have some help with ubuntu (dual boot issue)
[10:21] <hachre> otie: !ask
[10:21] <ekiwok_> !ask
[10:21] <hachre> thanks
[10:21] <hachre> ;D
[10:22] <Otie> !ask
[10:23] <Otie> In installed Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit yesterday, on a 20GB Ext4 partition (tried Ext2 as well) and when I start my computer it boots straight to Windows 7, how can I choose what to boot to?
[10:25] <hachre> Otie: if everything went well with the installation of the bootloader a menu should come up with a 5 second or so timer
[10:25] <hachre> Otie: did you get any error messages during installation?
[10:25] <Otie> No, I didn't. I wasn't connected to the internet during installation and I didn't hear anything about bootloader
[10:25] <hachre> Otie: did you partition manually?
[10:26] <Otie> Yes I did.
[10:26] <hachre> Otie: one ext4 partition 20gb and thats it?
[10:26] <hachre> for ubuntu that is
[10:26] <Otie> Yes, that's all. The only other thing is a 900GB NTFS one for windows
[10:29] <Otie> I installed ubuntu studio 12.10 late last year and I got to choose what to boot after I turned on my PC
[10:29] <cfhowlett> !grub|Otie, try reinstalling grub
[10:30] <Otie> Thanks, I'll check that out
[10:32] <g105b> How can I stream a video file as if it was my webcam?
[10:32] <Otie> Alright, I'm going to try repairing it, if I don't come back it's probably working for me :P
[10:33] <cfhowlett> Otie, best of luck
[10:33] <lxgr> w
[10:37] <hachre> I found the solution to my own problem: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume has a wrong UUID to my swap space, thats why it failed
[10:37] <hachre> changing it there + update-initramfs -u fixed it
[10:38] <foobArrr> printing problem: my printers work for a few pages, then stop printing. the print queue window shows "Printing ...", the kde printer settings panel shows "in use", but nothing happens anymore. after reboot they work again, but only for a few pages. same behavior with two different printers (Brother HL-2030 and Oki B4100), same behavior on a fresh user account. 12.10 64bit
[10:40] <Jiver> gosh darn it!
[10:41] <Jiver> what's going down on this side y'all?
[10:41] <foobArrr> when I connect the printers to a virtualbox virtual machine, printing from the vm works fine.
[10:42] <cfhowlett> hachre, good detective work
[10:43] <Jiver> y'all run a print server on a VM?
[10:45] <Jiver> what's going down, Kevin? y'all good?
[10:45] <hachre> thanks, cfhowlett ;)
[10:47] <Kevin_> I just
[10:48] <Kevin_> Want to nick my name but I don't know it :)
[10:48] <Jiver> Say what?
[10:48] <DJones> Kevin_: /nick newname
[10:48] <Jiver> Y'alls name is Kevin dude!
[10:49] <hachre> haha
[10:49] <Jiver> y'll want to be called "newname"?
[10:49] <Jiver> maaan, that crazy!
[10:49] <Kevin_> How?
[10:53] <wizard_A> i installed qemu, qemu-kvm but when i try running an image through cmd it shows qemu command not found
[10:58] <hachre> the command is qemu-system-i386, qemu-system-x86_64
[11:03] <g105b> I want to pipe a video file through a webcam stream, so I can play a video into Google+ Hangout. Can someone advice on how to do this?
[11:04] <wizard_A> so suppose the cmd qemu -hda tor-test -cdrom tails-i386-0.13.iso -m 192 -boot d tthe qemu should be replaced by qemu-system-i386 r8??
[11:05] <hachre> wizard_A: probably, if you want a 32bit guest
[11:05] <hachre> wizard_A: I'd be using libvirt-bin honestly to manage the vms
[11:07] <wizard_A> yes
[11:07] <wizard_A> can you give me an example for libvirt-bin
[11:08] <hachre> wizard_A: after setting it up starting a vm would be 'virsh start vmname'

[11:19] <silv3r_m00n> how to open the gnome desktop preferences dialog from commandline ?
[11:22] <g105b> I dunno why this is much easier in Windows...
[11:33] <WeThePeople> i just reinstalled 12.04 with reformat, i am getting internal errors, about jockey-gtk and gnome-settings-daemon, any idea what this might be?
[11:35] <izx> I would like to manage all ubuntu systems centrally? What would be the best way to acheive this??
[11:36] <histo> WeThePeople: memtest
[11:36] <histo> izx: for free or using canonicals stuff?
[11:37] <izx> histo: It depends upon the features.. how abt free??
[11:38] <histo> izx: landscape is the paid canonical application which is integrated with ubuntu.
[11:38] <tMH> ppl, tell me please, what file contains default _text_ logon screen , likme - Ubuntu 12.10 servername tty1 etc?
[11:39] <Duncan_> l
[11:40] <histo> !zentyal | izx
[11:40] <tMH> like
[11:44] <pii3> hey
[11:44] <pii3> im on 12.04
[11:44] <pii3> i cannot apt-get install libcompress-zlib-perl ?
[11:44] <pii3> does the name changed?
[11:46] <wizard_A> pii3: try pressing tab after typing libcom you'll get a list of what is availabe
[11:46] <WeThePeople> histo, so return to grub menu and run a memtest?
[11:47] <wizard_A> also try pressing tab after libcompress- u'll get a smaller list

[11:54] <Kevin`> also, is there a way of preventing the boot messages past the initrd from all being invisible since they show on a tty that doesn't exist instead of the console?
[11:56] <hachre> Kevin`: why are you using grub legacy??
[11:57] <hachre> Kevin`: to display boot messages you need to remove quiet and splash parameters in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[11:57] <Kevin`> hachre: because there's no pv-grub for grub2
[11:57] <Kevin`> # cat /proc/cmdline

[12:24] <dejanfc> good day
[12:24] <dejanfc> anyone here got experience with bind9 + isc-dhcp-server and ddns updates?
[12:27] <anu123> has anyone know how to shrink the ubuntu drive which is installed on windows7 ultimate
[12:27] <betrayd> !anyone | dejanfc
[12:28] <betrayd> anu123: ^ too
[12:28] <betrayd> use gparted anu123 unless its lvm
[12:28] <dejanfc> fair enough :)
[12:28] <betrayd> spit it out man
[12:29] <dejanfc> I've got the ddns working, but I have a whole bunch of clients that share the hostname (thin clients) which I'd like to omit from dynamic updates
[12:29] <dejanfc> is there a way to filter that out?
[12:29] <Syria>  Hi, Is there any program equivalent to innsider please? Wifi signal analyzer?
[12:30] <Arrick> hey all, I am trying to enable a 2nd nic on my ubuntu server 12.04 install, and when I run "ifconfig -a | grep eth" I can see that I have both eth0 (Which is up) and eth1, which is not up... I tried running "ifup eth1" and it said not found... how do I enable this device?
[12:31] <betrayd> Syria: i use wavemon but only for 1 not to compare several
[12:31] <Pici> Syria: kismet perhaps?
[12:32] <wizard_A> i'm running ubuntu using wubi, and within ubuntu i'm using qemu which in turn is running a  different os, will this affect my hard disk in any way
[12:32] <Syria> Pici: I think that kismet should be used by advance users.
[12:32] <betrayd> Arrick: does ifconfig even show it
[12:32] <Arrick> no
[12:32] <Arrick> thats what I am trying to figure out.
[12:33] <Arrick> I know it works, because when I blew away windows server 2008 R2 I was using that one for the management.
[12:33] <betrayd> inwindows though?
[12:33] <Arrick> But I remember asking me what port I wanted to be primary as well when I isntalled.
[12:33] <Arrick> yes, in windows.
[12:34] <wizard_A> i'm running ubuntu using wubi, and within ubuntu i'm using qemu which in turn is running a  different os, will this affect my hard disk in any way
[12:35] <betrayd> Arrick: perhaps a driver is needed, tried another flavor of linux live CD
[12:35] <betrayd> ?
[12:35] <betrayd> Arrick: where it was picked up...

[12:37] <igorek2030> hello
[12:38] <betrayd> onboard: your startup file needs '&' at the end of commands otherwise it gets stuck on first command
[12:39] <mojtaba> Hi, I have put some content in the /var/www, but when I want to open it in the browser, it says you do not have access to it. Does anybody know what should I do?
[12:40] <onboard> betrayd:like "xtrerm &"
[12:40] <betrayd> onboard: yes! but usually the last one won't have it
[12:41] <betrayd> onboard: but that would depend on window manager
[12:41] <mojtaba> Hi, I have put some content in the /var/www, but when I want to open it in the browser, it says you do not have access to it. Does anybody know what should I do?
[12:41] <betrayd> yours might behave diferently onboard
[12:41] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[12:41] <silv3r_m00n> is there a good tool to customize gtk 2 themes on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[12:42] <mojtaba> Please help
[12:43] <betrayd> flexx in flexx out
[12:43] <contrapunctus> mojtbaba: go to terminal, sudo <program you want to open it with> <path to content>
[12:43] <onboard> betrayd: only start xterm , cursor in black zone will show X ,I really want know "X"  cursor  how to change?
[12:44] <Gnea> mojtaba: make sure that apache is setup correctly
[12:44] <mojtaba> Gnea: How can I make sure?
[12:44] <Gnea> mojtaba: well, is it installed?
[12:44] <betrayd> onboard: there are X-cursor themes in gnome-look.org
[12:44] <mojtaba> Gnea: Yes
[12:44] <Gnea> mojtaba: and what did you name the file?
[12:45] <mojtaba> Gnea:  upgrade.php
[12:45] <Gnea> mojtaba: mkay, what about permissions? are they set correctly?
[12:46] <mojtaba> Gnea: I did not set it
[12:46] <mojtaba> Gnea: Actually I am pretty new to linux. How can I do that?
[12:46] <Gnea> mojtaba: take a look to see what they are at now, then correct them if needed
[12:47] <Gnea> mojtaba: well the chmod command will be what you'll use in the terminal, but you'll need some direction...
[12:47] <onboard> betrayd:you main my mouse cursor theme no profile?
[12:47] <Gnea> !chmod | mojtaba
[12:47] <onboard> betrayd:I have mouse theme in linux
[12:48] <betrayd> onboard: might be in appearance, i haven't changed mine
[12:48] <betrayd> usually its each user has his/her own preference
[12:49] <betrayd> best to leave it that way (good practice)
[12:49] <Gnea> mojtaba: getting the file to have permissions like this would suffice:  -rw-r--r--
[12:49] <betrayd> root ought to step in only when you break it
[12:49] <Pici> mojtaba: What url are you trying to open in your browser? are you running a webserver?
[12:50] <lord_rob> Hi ! I'm using Debian Sid and I have just installed apt-add-repository to install a ppa. This doesn't seems to work with debian as it expects wheezy and not "any ubuntu distro name" :/ Is there a way to get the ppa anyway ?
[12:50] <mojtaba> Pici: yes
[12:50] <Gnea> Pici: s/he's doing it on localhost, afaik
[12:50] <Pici> Gnea: are you sure?
[12:50] <mojtaba> Gnea: you are right
[12:50] <Gnea> Pici: I am
[12:50] <Pici> lord_rob: no. PPAs are made for Ubuntu.
[12:51] <lord_rob> if I get source debs, can't I recompile them Pici ?
[12:51] <betrayd> and their dependencies
[12:52] <lord_rob> sure
[12:52] <Pici> lord_rob: possibly, but keep in mind that there may be Ubuntu specific patches being applied.
[12:52] <wizard_A> i'm running ubuntu using wubi, and within ubuntu i'm using qemu which in turn is running a  different os, will this affect my hard disk in any way
[12:53] <lord_rob> yes but this is not a big package
[12:53] <subthalamus> is this implemented? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec

[13:37] <awc> What can I type in the terminal to restart unity?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> awc: unity --replace      maybe
[13:38] <gr33n7007h> awc, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[13:39] <awc> ActionParsnip "unity -- program not installed"
[13:39] <k1l_> awc: sudo lightdm restart
[13:40] <awc> gr33n7007h "/etc/init.d/gdm: command not found
[13:40] <awc> "
[13:40] <k1l_> awc: but this will close all running programs
[13:40] <awc> k1l_ , thanks for the heads up
[13:40] <auronandace> k1l_: shouldn't that be: sudo service lightdm restart?
[13:41] <gr33n7007h> awc, sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
[13:42] <k1l_> auronandace: well. that was a mixup. either sudo restart lightdm or sudo service lightdm restart
[13:42] <gr33n7007h> gdm for gnome 2
[13:42] <genii-around> lightdm is natiove upstart and not sysvinit. eg: start/stop/whatever lightdm
[13:42] <k1l_> gr33n7007h: upstart si the new init
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> genii-around: you can use gdm in gnome3 )

[13:43] <Yonney> hi all, is compiz working nicely with the latest ubuntu LTS?
[13:43] <auronandace> Yonney: it is used by default in unity
[13:44] <Yonney> auronandace: with access to "all" those various compiz-addons that is part of Lucid Lynx?
[13:45] <auronandace> Yonney: 12.04 is precise, not lucid
[13:45] <Yonney> auronandace: I meant the previous LTS, Lucid.
[13:45] <auronandace> Yonney: desktop support for 10.04 ends this month
[13:45] <Yonney> auronandace: (meaning: that the same variety of compiz-addons is possible also on Pangolin?)
[13:46] <awc> auronandace, thanks!
[13:46] <auronandace> Yonney: many compiz addons can breake unity functionality
[13:47] <talpur> hi members plz help to resolve error of make...http://paste.ubuntu.com/5592527/
[13:47] <Yonney> auronandace: I am considering if I should reinstall with 10.04.4 for another year, or go with 12.04, but I strongly dislike the new unity, I want to stick with gnome and compiz
[13:48] <MartynKeigherFN> hey have an ftp server 'hosting' Q. my main domain (www.mydomain.com) is hosted with hosting company but i am setting up a home server in a subdomain (lab.mydomain.com). in the DNS, ftp is pointed to mydomain.com, but i ALSO need ftp access to my sub-domain. how can i achieve this?
[13:48] <auronandace> Yonney: 10.04 desktop support ends very shortly, gnome2 support ends with it
[13:48] <Yonney> I have also checked out the new Mint, but dont like it either
[13:48] <MartynKeigherFN> my home server is on ubuntu...i know thats irrleveant, but dont know where-else to ask. ;)
[13:48] <Yonney> auronandace: but security updates will go on for both of them for another year, even if support stops?
[13:49] <auronandace> Yonney: i was pleasantly surprised with unity in 12.04
[13:49] <auronandace> Yonney: no, support continues only for server
[13:50] <Yonney> auronandace: desktopwise, I dont like 12.04 - or at least not if I cannot easily use the old style navigation in addition, with just a click or shortkey
[13:50] <snuggl> whats the diffrence?
[13:50] <Yonney> auronandace: but more importantly, is all the important additions I use in compiz, will not change if I cannot bring such features along
[13:50] <snuggl> the menu is at left instead of bottom, else its just a bit more graphical
[13:51] <auronandace> Yonney: using some features of compiz can break unity, you could try compiz with xfce instead if you want
[13:51] <Yonney> I want to place single-click shortcut icons on sidebars that can be hidden or shown with their own defaults, left, right, top and bottom
[13:52] <awc> I am having an issue with 13.04, but #ubuntu+1 is seemingly empty. Perhaps someone here could help? I installed today's updates, and it seems to have broken unity or compiz. The status bar at the top of the desktop and the dash/home bar on the left side of my screen are missing. running compiz --replace in the terminal is ineffective, and "sudo service lightdm restart" to restart unity results in a black screen with a flashing orange "_"
[13:52] <Yonney> I notice that several people have problems with some of this, and I dont want to loose the _very_ stable environment I have right now.
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> Yonney: lxpanel, gnome panel and so on can do that, so can avant window navigatr and docky etc
[13:54] <Yonney> auronandace: I would choose the gnome-desktop variant, perhaps even Mint with gnome desktop instead of ubuntu 12.04, but I am leaning towards using Lucid for another year first
[13:55] <auronandace> Yonney: desktop support for 10.04 ends THIS MONTH
[13:55] <Yonney> ActionParsnip: yes, but this would be a working environment, which I have no time to use for testing out what works or not, just want to have another clean install
[13:55] <JustSighDudes> When is 13.04 coming out?
[13:55] <awc> JustSighDudes the Beta is available now, but I believe at the end of the month
[13:56] <Yonney> auronandace: what exactly does that mean, that the "support" ends now, it will still continue to push security updates until next year, or am I wrong?
[13:56] <BluesKaj> JustSighDudes, apr 25
[13:56] <awc> JustSighDudes given my current issues with the beta I wouldn't install it until the 25th
[13:56] <JustSighDudes> awc: Aw :(
[13:56] <auronandace> Yonney: support ends this month, i can't really make it more clearer
[13:56] <auronandace> Yonney: desktop packages will no longer get any updates whatsoever
[13:57] <auronandace> Yonney: from next month only server is supported in 10.04
[13:57] <k1l_> Yonney: no, there will be no security updates after this month for the desktop packages.
[13:58] <Yonney> k1l_: ok, so manybe what I thought I have seen regarding such information was only about the server version, hmm
[13:58] <emperor> español
[13:59] <Guest9982> #ubuntu-es
[13:59] <k1l_> Yonney: yes, server packages will keep support. but this doesnt mean you can run a safe desktop on this. so consider an upgrade if you are running a desktop
[13:59] <prappl93> I just recently installed kernel 3.6.3 on Ubuntu 12.10, and my Terminals on Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 are not really showing anything. Is there a way to fix this?
[13:59] <_emperor_> join ubuntu-es
[13:59] <_emperor_> join #ubuntu-es
[14:00] <awc> _emperor_ /join #ubuntu-es
[14:00] <theadmin> prappl93: Unofficial kernels are unsupported, the latest provided on Quantal is 3.5.x
[14:00] <betrayd> prappl93: picking the prior kernel in grub brings them back though?
[14:00] <prappl93> theadmin: thanks. Is there a way to roll-back to 3.5.x easily?
[14:01] <foobArrr> printing problem: my printers work for a few pages, then stop printing. the print queue window shows "Printing ...", the kde printer settings panel shows "in use", but nothing happens anymore. after reboot they work again, but only for a few pages. same behavior with two different printers (Brother HL-2030 and Oki B4100), same behavior on a fresh user account. 12.10 64bit
[14:01] <prappl93> betrayd: I have not tried that yet, might just do a kernel rollback
[14:01] <MartynKeigherFN> I have an ftp server 'hosting' Q -->  My main domain (www.mydomain.com) is hosted with a hosting company and i have setup a home server in a subdomain of it (lab.mydomain.com). In the DNS, there is a CNAME record for FTP and its pointed to mydomain.com, but i "ALSO" need ftp access to my sub-domain. how can i achieve this? I know i can "change" FTP to the IP of my home server, but i dont want to affect connectivity to the FTP that is at my host
[14:01] <theadmin> prappl93: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic will give you the latest official kernel, unless you installed your new one from a third-party repo (if that's the case, disable that repo)
[14:02] <prappl93> theadmin: I downloaded the new one from kernel.ubuntu.com and manually installed it via dpkg
[14:02] <theadmin> prappl93: Eh...
[14:02] <theadmin> prappl93: Anyway, get rid of linux-image-3.6.3-generic or whatever and install linux-image-generic
[14:02] <KyeRussell> cname records do not affect what services are available on your domain MartynKeigherFN
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: you can hold SHIFT at boot and select the older kernel.
[14:03] <KyeRussell> they merely point certain names (e.g. blah.yourdomain.com) to servers
[14:03] <MartynKeigherFN> so if add a cname record of 'ftp' to lab.mydomain.com it should just work
[14:03] <MartynKeigherFN> ??
[14:03] <KyeRussell> in saying that, you should still be able to connect to the ftp server on lab.yourdomain.com, assuming that you have an ftp server running
[14:04] <KyeRussell> no, you misunderstand how dns works
[14:04] <MartynKeigherFN> i'll try it. didnt think it would be that easy!
[14:04] <KyeRussell> CNAME records point IP addresses to domain names
[14:04] <MartynKeigherFN> i do have ftp setup
[14:04] <KyeRussell> e.g. the ip address <IP_ADDRESS> -> something.mydomain.com
[14:04] <KyeRussell> now every service taht you access by connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> is now available on something.mydomain.com
[14:04] <theadmin> KyeRussell: That's an A record
[14:04] <KyeRussell> it's pretty much an alias
[14:05] <KyeRussell> oh my bad
[14:05] <KyeRussell> okay
[14:05] <KyeRussell> somehost.something.com -> something.mydomain.com
[14:05] <KyeRussell> better
[14:05] <MartynKeigherFN> the mainsite is hosting in location A and my subdomain is in location B, different IP's. there is already a cname for FTP that points to my main domain
[14:06] <KyeRussell> what are you using to manage your dns records
[14:06] <_emperor_> Hello friends, good morning. I have a problem with my kubuntu 12.04, yesterday the Muon system updates had asked me to add new updates, so I agreed to install, after I finish asked me to restart the computer but the power down as it was too late to turn the audio pc and it did not work, try to see if I was missing some codec or the volume was low but nothing, any ideas?
[14:06] <MartynKeigherFN> cpanel
[14:06] <KyeRussell> I'm sure that's doing some weird stuff.
[14:06] <KyeRussell> does your home IP address change?
[14:06] <talpur> please guide me mebers for erro returned eit code 2 error with make
[14:06] <MartynKeigherFN> nope. its a static
[14:07] <KyeRussell> then you should set up an A record
[14:07] <KyeRussell> with lab.whatever.com pointing at your home connection's IP address
[14:08] <MartynKeigherFN> thats done already
[14:08] <KyeRussell> then you don't need to do anything else
[14:08] <MartynKeigherFN> oh?
[14:08] <KyeRussell> just use your ftp client and connect to lab.whatever.com
[14:08] <_emperor_> KyeRussell

[14:08] <MartynKeigherFN> ah....ok! gotchya! that makes sense. i jyust figured id have to edit something.
[14:08] <KyeRussell> I don't use Ubuntu desktop, can't help, sorry.
[14:08] <MartynKeigherFN> ok, well cool!
[14:09] <KyeRussell> nope MartynKeigherFN, no matter what service you run, as long as it's accessible via the ip address, it's accessible via lab.whatever.com

[14:10] <nashant> Alright guys. What sort of speed should I get via SCP? I'm only getting 1.5MB/s at the mo
[14:10] <KyeRussell> depends on the connection speed nashant

[14:10] <ActionParsnip> nashant: how fast is your web connectin?

[14:10] <MartynKeigherFN> ok, next Q Kye... when i FTP to my ftp server i cant edit files. i hace added my account in the visduo sudoers file but still no luck?? can u tell me how i can achieve this? thanks
[14:10] <KyeRussell> it'll be capped at either the upload bandwidth of the uploading box, or the download bandwidth of the downloading box, whichever is lower
[14:11] <MartynKeigherFN> this is my last question! :)
[14:11] <KyeRussell> sudo hshouldn't have anything to do with your ftp server
[14:11] <KyeRussell> shouldn't*
[14:11] <MartynKeigherFN> i was told it would! :(
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigherFN: try connecting using SFTP, that wil pay attention to your permissions

[14:11] <MartynKeigherFN> k
[14:11] <nashant> KyeRussell, ActionParsnip: wireless at 145M one end, 1G wired at the other
[14:11] <KyeRussell> it's somewhat considered an out-of-date technology.
[14:11] <KyeRussell> nashant: a bunch of small files perhaps?
[14:11] <MartynKeigherFN> for the benefit of the room.... im using vsftpd
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> nashant: 1G will be slow, so that data will travel at that spee

[14:12] <_emperor_> ActionParsnip ... where, in KOnsole ??
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> _emperor_: yes
[14:12] <_emperor_> ok
[14:12] <nashant> KyeRussell: Nope. 2G+ files
[14:12] <KyeRussell> strange.
[14:12] <nashant> ActionParsnip: 1Gbit+ I meant. 1Gbit slow?
[14:12] <_emperor_> :(
[14:12] <KyeRussell> 1gbit isn't slow :/
[14:12] <_emperor_> no working
[14:13] <KyeRussell> is there some sort of file i/o bottleneck? slow hard drives, etc.
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> nashant: depends on its up speed, if it is over WWW then it will not go at 1Gbps down, it will be asymetric (hence ADSL), so you need to look at that speed
[14:13] <KyeRussell> ^
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> KyeRussell: depends on the needs
[14:13] <nashant> ActionParsnip: It's on lan
[14:13] <KyeRussell> so symmetric
[14:14] <_emperor_> I saw that command low internal audio volume, but I went up and replayed the audio level and nothing.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> KyeRussell: as a backbone for a company, it'd be slow for a large number of users
[14:14] <talpur> members pla help to resolve error mention in this paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/5592527/
[14:14] <KyeRussell> i doubt nashant is dealing with that environment ;)
[14:14] <nashant> KyeRussell: Shouldn't be a problem with the drives. get dd disk to disk transfers of about 200M
[14:14] <_emperor_> I probably ruined any audio upgrade
[14:15] <KyeRussell> uh, any other network congestion?
[14:15] <nashant> nope, not quite. Just me, on my own
[14:15] <nashant> none
[14:15] <KyeRussell> not a slow switch
[14:15] <KyeRussell> or something
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> nashant: so your slowest speed is 145Mbps. What technology are you using to transfer the data?
[14:15] <nashant> Tried changing the encryption protocol to arcfour
[14:16] <nashant> scp
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> KyeRussell: but a sweeping statement of "1Gbps isn't slow" isn't always the case, is my point :)
[14:16] <KyeRussell> fair enough
[14:16] <betrayd> talpur: usually there are instructions to disable those options, they come with the config file. What are you trying to make anyway, it's not available in the repos

[14:17] <KyeRussell> disabling encryption
[14:18] <KyeRussell> -c none should do it
[14:18] <talpur> betrayd: sorry I didn't get , I am trying to build spec benchmark,,so it gives the make error
[14:18] <betrayd> oh
[14:19] <nashant> so you reckon disable encryption completely?
[14:19] <nashant> I'll give it a go
[14:19] <KyeRussell> i mean if it's on a lan with just you
[14:19] <KyeRussell> it's up to you whether or not you feel unsafe about it

[14:20] <stefan099> hi can enybody help with 13.04  after installation i have no touchpadmouse and no usbmouse only keyboard works?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> stefan099: #ubuntu+1 for Raring support please
[14:21] <m__> hello
[14:21] <m__> :) i m milan
[14:28] <juann_atous> hi guys, anyone successfully connected to checkpoint VPN on ubuntu without using the SNX client?
[14:31] <redbluemangle> oi
[14:31] <jmnoz> I'm trying to configure keyboard shortcuts in xfce session on ubuntu but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone got an idea why this could be?
[14:33] <betrayd> jmnoz: even after an X restart
[14:33] <redbluemangle> if I do  update-manager –d to upgrade from 12.10 now will it be any different than waiting for the full release?
[14:33] <jmnoz> betrayd: I wasn't aware that an X restart was required? Do you think it is?
[14:34] <betrayd> at least with some window managers
[14:34] <betrayd> am not sure with xfce jmnoz
[14:35] <awc> redbluemangle, you want to install 13.04?
[14:35] <redbluemangle> yeah, i they ahve frozen the RC
[14:35] <redbluemangle> so it is effectively in the release state no?
[14:36] <awc> redbluemangle given my current issues with 13.04 wait until the 25th
[14:36] <awc> but regardless you will need to use the daily build to install
[14:36] <redbluemangle> did it clobber your system?
[14:37] <betrayd> at least he's still able to chat ;-) with us
[14:37] <awc> there are a few of us in #ubuntu+1 with unity/compiz issues
[14:37] <redbluemangle> hmm
[14:37] <awc> I have to start all programs using terminal, and there are no menus
[14:38] <betrayd> awc hrdC0R3!!
[14:39] <awc> betrayd haha it's not pleasant. but I'm better off than some.
[14:39] <betrayd> oh that wasnt what you're after
[14:39] <awc> lol nope
[14:39] <betrayd> better than 'cursor on black screen'
[14:39] <awc> 'tis
[14:40] <awc> I had that yesterday, had to doa  fresh install
[14:40] <Beast> hi all
[14:40] <betrayd> awc: you remember what you did last
[14:40] <awc> yeah, I ran updates
[14:40] <betrayd> dang
[14:41] <awc> yep
[14:41] <betrayd> 'normal' stuff
[14:41] <awc> mhm
[14:41] <betrayd> i'd set up a new user
[14:41] <betrayd> awc so that I could try what i want to set up a working GUI
[14:41] <Beast> say , I've run out of roomon my root partition. I set it up with root and lvm on the rest. Can running gparted from the install CD automatically resize things?
[14:42] <betrayd> i don't think it can with lvm Beast
[14:42] <Beast> ah
[14:42] <wN> the newer versions of gparted support LVM me thinks
[14:42] <betrayd> yes!
[14:42] <Beast> so parted magic?
[14:42] <betrayd> get eh bleeding edge gparted
[14:42] <wN> ^
[14:42] <furkan> sa
[14:42] <awc> betrayd, I'm ok with screwing around on my own user, I've got a recent backup.
[14:43] <betrayd> awc all you need is a pint
[14:43] <juann_atous> anyone successfully connected to checkpoint vpn from ubuntu and secureid?
[14:43] <betrayd> awc =) if u catch my drift
[14:43] <BluesKaj> Beast, is parted magic an evolved partition magic , if so i'd stay away from it
[14:43] <awc> betrayd, if your paying ;)
[14:43] <betrayd> christ look at the time
[14:44] <betrayd>  =)
[14:44] <Beast> BluesKaj: not sure. Looking at their home page now
[14:45] <Beast> Parted Magic 2012_10_10
[14:45] <juann_atous> if so I'd appreciate some help - we don't have the ssl extender mod so can't use the snx client, as such need a hand doing ti manually if anyone has experience getting it working; i know it can be done as I did it 6 months ago but can't remember how
[14:45] <Beast> "This version of Parted Magic includes GParted 0.14.0 with LVM support"
[14:46] <BluesKaj> Beast, gparted live media , good
[14:47] <juann_atous> rather than install windows, id liek to keep my pimped, leet buntu workstation in an office of mac and windows users
[14:47] <Beast> BluesKaj: I'll give it a go once I get time. I wonder if it'll ajust lvm when I ajust root
[14:47] <juann_atous> but having no working vpn is killing me  :(  booohooo
[14:48] <bean> juann_atous: so what you're saying is you have some jank vpn that doesn't work with default ubuntu stuff
[14:48] <mAniAk-_-> running 13.04 and i'm having issues with remmina in fullscreen and multiple desktops. when i switch to the remmina desktop from another part of the unity panel disappears, and i can see the menu panels shadow or something on top of my remote desktop session
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> !13.04
[14:49] <juann_atous> bean, it does work as I have managed to connect before, and I was able to do it through one of the networkmanager tools, ive gone through each one, openswan, l2tp, vpnc, trying them all but seems none work
[14:49] <mAniAk-_-> ehe
[14:49] <juann_atous> it worked on vanila ubuntu, now im on xubuntu
[14:49] <juann_atous> i went back to vanil;la and couldnt get it working again
[14:50] <juann_atous> so am a bit lost   we use secureid, but thats not a problem, getting the handshakes working is, not sure how to debug it as I have no access to the checkpoint
[14:50] <dasmith91> clear
[14:50] <juann_atous> sure it is somethign really trivial, but last time I didnt have to write ipsec.conf files or anything
[14:50] <juann_atous> i just set u[p the details in the networkmanager gui and it connected fine
[14:51] <juann_atous> but i've no idea which one *should* work with checkpoint....
[14:51] <bean> well, make sure you have the correct sort of VPN selected in NM
[14:51] <juann_atous> bean: have you ever done it yourself?
[14:51] <bean> I work for a mac / linux shop, people have no trouble setting up vpn once i give them my documentation
[14:51] <dury> wil it be xscreensaver in 13.04?
[14:52] <bean> !13.04 | dury
[14:52] <dury> wil = will
[14:52] <BluesKaj> Beast, I haven't ever used any LVM options with gparted , so I'm not able to speculate.
[14:52] <juann_atous> bean: can you link me a dox for checkpoint ipsec ?
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> bean  a linux shop? sounds great
[14:52] <bean> juann_atous: we don't use ipsec, so I can't really help, your IT guy can or should be able to help you though
[14:52] <awc> dury, dunno, try google?
[14:52] <bean> MonkeyDust: yep! can run whatever OS you want :)
[14:53] <juann_atous> bean: we don't have an it guy and the checkpopint admin doesn't even knwo checkpoint lol
[14:53] <dury> awc: all right
[14:53] <juann_atous> and i cant get access tot he checkpoint - just hhoped there was some default options that shoudl be set.... meh
[14:54] <bean> juann_atous: http://www.elsotanillo.net/2011/09/how-to-connect-a-road-warrior-vpn-linux-client-to-a-check-point-firewall-1/ is a sort of old guide on how one guy got it working
[14:55] <juann_atous> bean: have read that
[14:55] <juann_atous> bean: *last time*   I knwo that isn't this time, but I didn't need to do anything with ssl
[14:56] <bean> alright, I can't help you, sorry.
[14:56] <juann_atous> can't remember if it was vpnc I just used but it simply worked   prompted for pass, i stuck in pin and secureid token and was done
[14:56] <juann_atous> ye, thanks anyway

[15:22] <ActionParsnip> lorddune: did you setup any cron jobs?

[15:31] <arun003> when i right click there is no option for adding it .. @wilee

[15:32] <arun003> oh thanks wilee
[15:33] <wilee-nilee> arun003, Heh never heard of a desk top called "when i right click there is no option for adding it "
[15:33] <arun003> i right clicked inside terminal
[15:33] <auronandace> wilee-nilee: he is talking about adding to the unity side bar
[15:34] <arun003> yep auro
[15:34] <wilee-nilee> no really
[15:38] <JoeyJoeJo> I built a deb using 'checkinstall scons install' and it puts the binary file in /usr/local/sbin. How do I change it so it installs to /usr/sbin instead?
[15:39] <theadmin> JoeyJoeJo: checkinstall is a wrapper around "make install". The ./configure provided by the package probably has a --prefix option, set that to /usr
[15:40] <Yonney> ActionParsnip: I did also ask in #grub, but not enough feedback
[15:40] <JoeyJoeJo> theadmin: The package I'm compiling (gpsd) uses scons instead of ./configure. So would I have to set the prefix in scons?
[15:40] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, So what is the problem?
[15:40] <theadmin> JoeyJoeJo: Well, yeah, I guess, I have no idea what scons is
[15:41] <JoeyJoeJo> Neither did I until I tried to compile gpsd

[15:45] <lorddune> ActionParsnip: sorry i was afk, i didn't see any response earlier
[15:45] <Yonney> wilee-nilee: I have two OSes installed already, on a computer which has 2 physical hard drives with several partitions each. Now I will install a 3rd OS (Pangolin), but want to have some control on the boot menu, and know BEFORE I install, how I can get back to where I was, if something fails...
[15:46] <coolot> are you there thomas?
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> lorddune: scroll up, the question replies will be useful
[15:46] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, what OS's and which would you like to have control?
[15:47] <Yonney> specifically: I want to know that I am able to easily fix so I can boot into the old(present) OS afterwards, in case the installation is messed up, and the boot menu has changed or does not work...
[15:47] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, What OS's are there now?
[15:48] <Yonney> wilee-nilee: the current OS in control is Ubuntu, using grub, and I want to know exactly where that grub installation is now before I make any changes. I dont know how or where to look to see where grub is installed right now.
[15:49] <agon> hello, there
[15:49] <Yonney> I know where to find its menu, and make adjustments to it, though, but I am unsure as of what exactly is "booting" it: I assume the MBR, but which MBR (2 hard disks...)
[15:49] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, The bootloader is in the mbr that is the key, whichever OS is at the top of the grub menu is the controlling OS with grub.
[15:50] <Yonney> wilee-nilee: yes, I know that, but how do I locate grub? Is it the MBR of sda or sdb?
[15:51] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, All you really need to know is how to reload the mbr, locating grub is not what you need.
[15:52] <Yonney> wilee-nilee: since I have 2 MBRs, I think it is quite important that I deal with the correct one, and leave the other alone, therefore I need to know which one loads grub...
[15:52] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, On a ubuntu install if you do a manual install you can point the grub bootloader where you want basically, a partition or the mbr. A partition would be to save the control to the one you have now.
[15:52] <Yonney> (because I have 2 physical hard drives...)
[15:52] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, Is this a uefi setup?
[15:53] <Yonney> no uefi, standard bios, 2+ year old machine
[15:54] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, There is a bootscript we use to identify key parts such as what mbr contains what and what grub files are in a OS, or boot files say in a windows setup and other ket info.
[15:54] <wilee-nilee> key*
[15:54] <Yonney> wilee-nilee: yes, but I want to continue adding to the existing menu, and keep the current one in control, just need to know where it is and how to fix it if someting fails...
[15:56] <wilee-nilee> Yonney, TO keep the one in control in control do a manual inastall from the something other option, then point grub to the / of the install then run sudo update-grub in the controlling OS.
[15:57] <MartynKeigherFN> hey all.... i have made amenedments in my vsftpd.conf file (as recommended), i have aslo set permissions on my /var/www/ folder to 755 and i still cant ftp upload to it. do i need to do anything esle?? thanks
[15:58] <MartynKeigherFN> error msg in fireftp is: 550 Failed to change directory.

[16:10] <jazzdle> Hello, guys. The fonts in all browsers are too big and I have tried to change the size in Preferences->Content but nothing happened. I have disabled "Allow pages to choose their font" as well but for most pages nothing changes. I did not touch the zoom option because my installation is fresh ( And I did it several times). Also in "about:config" setting layout.css.dpi to 96 or 72 doesn't change the situation. Any ideas?
[16:11] <lorddune> ActionParsnip: I have run iotop to try and see what the culprit is, but cvannot determine it from that
[16:11] <MartynKeigher> hey...when i run a ls -l command i get this
[16:11] <MartynKeigher> drwxr-xr-x 5 webmaster root      4096 Apr 22 10:31 mklab
[16:12] <MartynKeigher> i understand webmaster is owner.... but whats root?
[16:12] <theadmin> MartynKeigher: group
[16:12] <MartynKeigher> perfect! how do the group?
[16:12] <MartynKeigher> *change
[16:12] <theadmin> MartynKeigher: chown :newgroup mklab
[16:12] <MartynKeigher> i wasnt the group to be webadmins
[16:13] <MartynKeigher> so an existing group
[16:13] <saac> MartynKeigher, chown user:group mklab
[16:14] <theadmin> MartynKeigher: Yes, it has to exist
[16:14] <theadmin> :newgroup is just some name
[16:14] <theadmin> Well, newgroup is the name, the : specifies that you're changing the group
[16:14] <MartynKeigher> ah i getchya. i read it wrong
[16:15] <MartynKeigher> perfect. did it! "chown :webadmins mklab"
[16:15] <MartynKeigher> i thought :newgroup was u indicating me creating a new group! lol
[16:15] <MartynKeigher> thanks
[16:15] <lorddune> jazzdle do you have all of the fonts installed that you need?
[16:17] <jazzdle> lodrdune: Yep, and I didn't change anything (according to fonts names in settings), just the size
[16:17] <jazzdle> but yes, I have all of them.
[16:18] <lorddune> jazzdle: what GUI are you running?
[16:18] <Soltis> How can I get an strace of apache2?
[16:18] <jazzdle> gnome, but the same with kde, unity and xfce4
[16:19] <jazzdle> and it's only with the browsers
[16:19] <Soltis> The normal strace ... apache2 -X won't work for what are probably obvious reasons. (apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER})
[16:19] <snuggl> Soltis: start is as normal
[16:20] <snuggl> then just strace it afterwards
[16:20] <bpmj> Hey folks, is there a way in Unity to display what workspace I'm on in the top bar?
[16:20] <bpmj> I love workspaces, but  Ifind myself getting lost.
[16:20] <bpmj> :/
[16:20] <Soltis> snuggl: Let's pretend apache2 is segfaulting on start with certain config options enabled.
[16:20] <snuggl> ah
[16:20] <lorddune> jazzdle: do you have ubuntu tweak running?
[16:21] <jazzdle>  lorddune: is it possible to set a font size which to override all the settings somewhere (as abount:conf) for example?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> lorddune: while it is happening you will need to run it then, also use top to see what is using the CPU most
[16:21] <lorddune> jazzdle: there is a setting to control fonts in that
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> bpmj: that is a feature in Raring :(
[16:21] <jazzdle>  lorddune: I already have done that, the same (and it's mainly for everything else)
[16:21] <MartynKeigher> does the following command set a "home directory" for an ftp login:   "usermod -d /var/www/ webmaster" ??
[16:21] <lorddune> ActionParsnip: it's basically just journaling. jde2/8
[16:22] <bpmj> ActionParsnip: that's the next version, right?
[16:22] <MartynKeigher> i added the user 'webmaster' by doing useradd .... not adduser. :(
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> bpmj: could use the Indicator-Workspaces:
[16:22] <bpmj> ActionParsnip: is that a setting, or is it something I have to install?
[16:23] <Soltis> snuggl: I'm trying setting APACHE_RUN_USER and APACHE_RUN_GROUP on the command line, but I want to know if there are any *other* caveats I need to know about to make sure it picks up the config files and such so I can trace the actual fault.
[16:23] <lorddune> jazzdle: you can install the gnome tweak tool and adjust the default sizes if you dont like them
[16:23] <MartynKeigher> nvm..i got it.
[16:24] <MonkeyDust> Soltis  there's also #ubuntu-server -- apache is server technology
[16:24] <MartynKeigher> i really am learning so much setting this up! its awesome! :)

[16:25] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigher: feels good when you get it sorted too :)
[16:25] <MartynKeigher> yup! :)
[16:25] <MartynKeigher> plenty of note taking!!

[16:28] <Krisiun> Means it is detected as a virtual CD rom also. But how to mount it?
[16:29] <MartynKeigher> ok heres an odd one. i am ssh into my server thats at my house (im at work) but the server cant ping google.com
[16:30] <MartynKeigher> what do i need to add in the interfaces?
[16:30] <MartynKeigher> connection is FINE...as i can ssh/ftp/web-browse to it
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigher: echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigher: is how I do it :)
[16:31] <MartynKeigher> do i need to restart any services after that?
[16:32] <MartynKeigher> and whats the dev/null for?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigher: you can run:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null      and get the same effect
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> MartynKeigher: tee outputs to the file and the screen, so I pipe the stdout to /dev/null it's neater
[16:33] <llutz> MartynKeigher: if you change ... /head, you have to "sudo resolvconf -u" after it

[16:36] <JoeyJoeJo> I built a deb package and it worked. The only problem is that my package didn't have anything in /etc and it didn't set itself to start on boot when I installed it. How can I do that

[16:43] <Krisiun> llutz: Thank you, I will try it.
[16:44] <Bauer1> what is the best way to find out what exactly is slowing down my linux system? simply watching top doesnt really help me, seeing like 40+ instances of chrome, or seeing that compiz suddenly jumps in CPU or seeing some 'kworker' which jumps
[16:45] <Krisiun> llutz: Thank you, that worked!
[16:45] <llutz> Krisiun: sudo umount /media/cdrom   to umount it later
[16:46] <HerrKlemmy>  Is there an error log for display errors ? my second monitor switches off and on, when I start different programs...
[16:46] <JoeyJoeJo> HerrKlemmy: Check /var/log/message
[16:46] <JoeyJoeJo> /var/log/messages
[16:47] <roott> <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:48] <HerrKlemmy> JoeyJoeJo: There is no such file
[16:48] <roott> hi
[16:49] <wilee-nilee> HerrKlemmy, It is in root
[16:52] <BluesKaj> HerrKlemmy, there isn messages file in /var/log , check the syslog
[16:52] <BluesKaj> is no
[16:53] <HerrKlemmy> how to do that ?
[16:53] <JoeyJoeJo> HerrKlemmy: ls /var/log/syslog
[16:53] <BluesKaj> alt+f2 , /var/log , then look for syslog
[16:54] <JoeyJoeJo> Or better yet, ls /var/log
[16:54] <JoeyJoeJo> that'll show you all of the log files
[16:55] <Paulos> Hi folks, any idea on how to collect bug information when apport regularly crashes? :)
[16:55] <Paulos> Ubuntu 13.04
[16:55] <matriks404> for me apport too always crashes :P
[16:55] <wilee-nilee> !13.04 > Paulos
[16:56] <matriks404> on 12.10 and 13.04
[16:56] <Paulos> lol :)
[16:56] <Paulos> that's kind of bad, isn't it?
[16:56] <HerrKlemmy> hm nothing helpful in syslock. For Example it switches off, when I start WinSCP via Wine
[16:57] <JoeyJoeJo> HerrKlemmy: You should be able to find a WinSCP equivalent for ubuntu. I don't know of a good GUI scp client, but there is always the scp command
[16:59] <HerrKlemmy> yeah I know - I'm just used to it. But that's not the point. There are other programs from ubuntu itself which "starts" the error
[16:59] <DooMMasteR> oh hai
[17:00] <DooMMasteR> I have a little problem/serious problem?
[17:00] <DooMMasteR> I just installed Ubuntu for the 2. time and then FGLRX-legacy… and in bith cases unity was broken when I rebooted after the install
[17:00] <mihasya> is there a doc for getting 12.04 pxe-boot to utilize a custom mirror host? I am piecing together stack overflow responses and bug reports. I got it loading the correct preseed file, but it still looks for archive.ubuntu.com. Anyone have any luck getting this working?
[17:01] <DooMMasteR> uninstalling does not help
[17:01] <DooMMasteR> but everything else is fine…
[17:01] <DooMMasteR> even running Games, Steam, Chrome, all works fine
[17:01] <DooMMasteR> but Unity does not, the desktop appears and then nothing, no launcher no menu bar
[17:02] <adamk> DooMMasteR: Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log show anything interesting?  glxinfo reports you have 3D acceleration?  What shows up in your ~/.xsession-errors file?
[17:03] <DooMMasteR> adamk: nothing odd in Xorg logs and yes 3D accel works fine, as said even heavy 3D games work fine (tried some things in Wine and some native Steam apps)
[17:03] <DooMMasteR> all100% Functional
[17:03] <DooMMasteR> only the menubar and launcher are missing from the experience
[17:03] <DooMMasteR> no clues to why they are gone in the logs -.-
[17:04] <DooMMasteR> I was said to do unity --reset and stuff like that, but it did not change anything
[17:04] <adamk> Well any errors from unity should show up in ~/.xsession-errors
[17:04] <impi> hell
[17:04] <impi> hello
[17:04] <DooMMasteR> let me check .xession-errors
[17:04] <impi> anyone here using a wacom tablet?
[17:06] <wilee-nilee> impi, THe channel works with you presenting your problem
[17:07] <mihasya> heh.. shot in the dark and got it working. had to set country to "manual"
[17:07] <impi> wilee-nilee, okey, thanks for telling me that, i have a wacom tablet, using it in ubuntu 12.10 - works great! however, at the top there is a ring, and one can use it for scrolling - when i issue somewacom xset commands, and log out, and back in i can scroll using this ring, i want to set those commands to run automatically, so i made a sh script, however this doesnt work, now i want to add them to xorg.conf
[17:07] <impi> anyone have any experience with this?
[17:13] <sachn> hi... I am using dell inspiron 7520 in windows 8 , when I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 along it , it installed correctly and then came an dialouge box of restarting the system , but then in BIOS page option of ubuntu didn't came , it is showing only windows 8 option in BIOS page
[17:13] <FrostyG> I thinking of running ubuntu in a virual environment for web browsing and just to keep up with the OS
[17:15] <FrostyG> is virtualbox still about the best for that these days?
[17:15] <compdoc> virtualbox might be best for that
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> sachn, Have you been looking at the UEFI wiki?
[17:16] <theadmin> FrostyG: I'd say yes
[17:16] <FrostyG> wow i can't beleive mint is #1 now on distro watch
[17:17] <FrostyG> what happened?!
[17:17] <BluesKaj> FrostyG, politics

[17:17] <compdoc> minty
[17:19] <FrostyG> politics eh? hmm
[17:20] <wilee-nilee> impi, Things have changed as far as any xorg.conf this may help in general. http://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file
[17:21] <wilee-nilee> FrostyG, This is ubuntu support, you might try #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:21] <FrostyG> don't get your boxers in a bunch wilee-nilee
[17:21] <impi> hey wilee-nilee thanks man, yea, i have this file, which contains default wacom stuff /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf
[17:22] <wilee-nilee> !behavior | FrostyG
[17:23]  * wilee-nilee loves the ignore
[17:23] <FrostyG> some things never change, I see why mint is #1 now lol...
[17:23] <impi> my buddy advocates mint
[17:24] <impi> i dunno, havent treid it yet...as soon as he said he hates effects i stopped listening to be honest
[17:24] <impi> i mean, my ubuntu is P.I.M.P yo
[17:24] <betrayd> lol
[17:25] <BluesKaj> mint is ok for ppl who require a stable conservative environment without much challenge
[17:25] <IdleOne> !ot
[17:26] <BluesKaj> yup , just so busy in here , we might miss a question :)
[17:27] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: not the point, and you know better.
[17:28] <BluesKaj> bah , IdleOne ... I do,  but I made made my point as well
[17:29] <IdleOne> BlueEagle: Your point was off topic also. I don't understand how someone who has been a part of this community for so long insists on not following a simple rule.
[17:31] <Frank15> yo guys, if i want to install ubuntu cloud ,really its installing ubuntu server then adding MAAS and openstck and juju, right?
[17:32] <czardoz> Frank15: Yes
[17:32] <czardoz> I think :)
[17:32] <Frank15> ok cool thanks, do you know what MAAS is though, cause I have no clue
[17:33] <SilkyJackson> I have ubuntu 12.10 now on my older desktop. I was wanting to turn it into a home server. Can I do this from the desktop version or do I need to just fresh install the ubuntu server version
[17:33] <czardoz> Frank15: haha, no sorry :)
[17:33] <python|pi> Think Ubuntu would give us a pentesting machine?
[17:33] <python|pi> OS
 ok
[17:33] <ants> MASS: https://maas.ubuntu.com/
[17:35] <BluesKaj> SilkyJackson, depends how you want to use the server
[17:37] <SilkyJackson> just to use for movies pics and some other things
[17:37] <BluesKaj> SilkyJackson, for example i have kubuntu on this pc and it's basically a media server , connected to a tv/monitor
[17:37] <SilkyJackson> I was going to look into using it as a VPN too
[17:37] <BluesKaj> vpn doesn't need a server environment , SilkyJackson
[17:38] <championswimmer> -dev
[17:39] <SilkyJackson> so I can turn it into a home server, a vpn and connect to the files while I am away from the house
[17:39] <BluesKaj> SilkyJackson, yes that's what vpn is for
[17:40] <Pinkamena_D> which directory holds all of the commands that can be run from the terminal?

[17:40] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: echo $PATH, those are the directories
[17:41] <SilkyJackson> sweet, then I guess thats what I am doing this afternoon
[17:41] <SilkyJackson> and tips or suggestions before I get started
[17:41] <Pinkamena_D> I installed a program a while back without the package manager (glances) and I completely forgot how i installed it
[17:41] <Pinkamena_D> it overrider all of the newer versions which I can get with the package manager, though, so i need ot get rid of it
[17:41] <wilee-nilee> Pinkamena_D, What is it?
[17:41] <Pinkamena_D> overrides*
[17:42] <Pinkamena_D> glances
[17:42] <vitimiti> o/
[17:42] <Pinkamena_D> for example, after apt-get removing it I can still run it from the terminal, so I need to find where the other version is at
[17:43] <betrayd> Pinkamena_D: you can type which cmd-name
[17:43] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: /usr/local/ is the most likely.
[17:43] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: but yes, "which COMMAND" or "whence COMMAND" will give you the path where it gets it from
[17:43] <SilkyJackson> thanks for the help BluesK
[17:43] <theadmin> (depending on the shell may need to use one or the other)
[17:43] <BluesKaj> SilkyJackson, investigate the various vpn sites closely, some aren't truthful about their speed and services ...the old adage if looks too good to be true ....
[17:44] <SilkyJackson> I use PIA on my laptop right now because it was cheap and I just wanted some extra security while traveling

[18:27] <sparr> I am trying to find a laptop for which Ubuntu has good out of the box support for all the hardware. First I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops which says to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam which says to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop, but that page only has info on DOING testing. I want to find RESULTS of testing. Help?
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> PartTimeLegend  use ubuntuone to store your files, then transfer them to your new pc
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> PartTimeLegend  or connect the two pc and use rsync

[18:33] <jhutchins_wk> sparr: Linux hardware compatibility relies on voluntary user contributions, and frankly it's fairly spotty.  You can help.  If not you, who?
[18:34] <sparr> If not me... people who already have laptops, or have money to burn buying laptops they don't know are supported.
[18:34] <axept> OerHeks: I know, but its gone from that site...
[18:34] <Bodsda> sparr: if it doesn't work, take it back
[18:35] <jhutchins_wk> Most people put their effort into getting the hardware working, and if it works they can't be bothered to report it.

[18:35] <sparr> jhutchins_wk: I know. I want to see the reports *anyway*
