[00:00] <Aaron1> holstein, Anteros: thanks for helping me out
[00:00] <Anteros> orp: did you run update-grub ?
[00:00] <Anteros> Aaron1: np. Good luck.
[00:00] <orp> no
[00:00] <calwig> what is a program to find duplicate files? duplicity?
[00:01] <scott_z> dr_willis: thanks, found it rebooting now.
[00:01] <orp> done now
[00:01] <orp> i comeback in a bit
[00:03]  * Anteros sings ba ba ba babara ann
[00:03] <compdoc> calling that singing is very generous
[00:04]  * Anteros sings: wont'cha take my ha aa and
[00:04] <IdleOne> Anteros: Please stop that.
[00:06] <orp> no one can help me with my alsa ?
[00:06] <orp> i still having sound on my speakers after plug the headphones
[00:06] <krabador> hi people, i need help. I used an ubuntu 3.5.0-22 installation on a pc configuration until i changed motherboard, now i would use the same ubuntu installation because the /home/user management, before a fresh new installation, how can i reuse the installation?
[00:08] <Anteros> krabador: can you elaborate on what is "/home/user management" ?
[00:08] <holstein> orp: check the mute.. check in alsamixer, and pavucontrol.. and refer to
[00:08] <holstein> !audio
[00:08] <holstein> orp: what would i do? just deal with it.. and i would file a bug with alsa
[00:09] <holstein> orp: it can be challenging to properly support every different sound card.. alsa is the quickest way to get a fix out
[00:09] <UbuntuFail> Hi Jordan_U
[00:09] <orp> mate my sound works
[00:09] <UbuntuFail> Jordan_U: are you there?
[00:10] <calwig> is there a simple to use file duplicate GUI finder for ubuntu?
[00:10] <orp> is just don't mute on the speakers
[00:10] <orp> and i have check the mute on alsamixer don't work
[00:10] <krabador> Anteros, in the / partition of this system, and in /home/user i've an 8gb folder that i can't save in other place, for that for me would be more confortable to reuse sometime the od quantal installation
[00:10] <holstein> orp: i hear you.. but the speakers dont unmute.. i understand that.. and you can file a bug with alsa about that.. thats the most constructive way to get a fix out..
[00:10] <orp> ok
[00:11] <Anteros> krabador: do you have this folder backed up somewhere else ?
[00:11] <skegeek> Running as guest VM system doesn't detect widescreen and forces display 1024x768. How can I resolve this little issue? Do I simply need to add a correct resolution for widescreen?
[00:12] <dr_willis> skegeek:  what vm are you runnign it in?
[00:12] <skegeek> VirtualBox
[00:12] <krabador> Anteros, not, that's the reason because i would reuse the installation
[00:12] <dr_willis> you did install the vbox guest addations skegeek ?
[00:12] <Anteros> skegeek: are the VirtualBox tools installed?
[00:13] <Anteros> krabador: always backup if there is data you want to keep. Sorry to be a curmudgeon about it but I've seen more problems from not backup than from spending the extra time creating a backup
[00:13] <veryhappy> guys is there a way to set update up not to use the landscape service? like that dialog that you get while the installation of ubuntu that asks you if you want to take the landscape client of install every security package on your own
[00:14] <redheat> hi everyone, is there a way to list all the programs installed on my system?
[00:14] <redheat> I'm using ubuntu quantal 64 bit,...
[00:14] <dr_willis> !clone | redheat
[00:14] <Anteros> redheat: try aptitude
[00:15] <dr_willis> theres other ways to do similer things. ;)
[00:15] <redheat> dr_willis, how are you thank you so much for your help, Anteros..wow the old gang is back..lol
[00:15] <krabador> Anteros, yes, i fully agree, but the older motherboard left me suddenly
[00:15] <redheat> I meant I wanted to see them listed
[00:16] <dr_willis> redheat:  the aboe commands put  the list in a file for you  to read
[00:16] <krabador> Anteros, i backup often
[00:16] <Anteros> krabador: pull the drive out and back it up if you have to
[00:16] <redheat> dr_willis, I would truly appreciate it if you could tell me what is the aboe..I mean how should I write that in CL
[00:17] <scott_z> dr_willis: no luck. made the change and then ran update-grub. still just purple..
[00:17] <krabador> Anteros, not, if i have space in other place i would not be here
[00:17] <dr_willis> !text | scott_z
[00:18] <dr_willis> redheat:  it gave the CL aptitude command to  > (pipe) it onto a file...
[00:18] <Anteros> krabador: to your point: There are a number of ways to install around a filesystem. You can configure mount points in fstab
[00:18] <dr_willis> redheat:  the command between the  << and  >>  characters
[00:19] <Anteros> krabador: make sure that you do not format the drive containing the data you want to keep during installation
[00:19] <redheat> dr_willis, you lost me here, I mean, what should I write..?
[00:19] <dr_willis> redheat:  the commands the bot said is betwewn the << and >> characters...  in the  facctoid it gave
[00:19] <dr_willis> !clone
[00:20] <dr_willis>  aptitude ................   > ~ my-packages
[00:20] <dr_willis> puts the info  in the my-packages file
[00:21] <calwig> is there a GUI for duplicate file search?
[00:21] <dr_willis> the other info is if you  wanted to reinstall FROM that file on a differnt machine
[00:21] <unraised> II'm trying to bootstrap a powerpc ubuntu using qemu. Would someone help me troubleshoot networking issues? I've built the rootfs using debootstrap on a mounted ext3-formatted raw image file. I can get it to boot by passing init=/bin/sh to the kernel, but networking doesn't work. Any ideas?
[00:21] <krabador> Anteros, the / it's in an hd with 3 others partition (with not enough space), can i reinstall inside my / , withoud delete this /home/user/Desktop/folder ?
[00:21] <dr_willis> calwig:  i recall several being in the repos.. tried searching?
[00:22] <calwig> i did well theyre cmd line, which i can work out, but right now my brain is on gui mode
[00:22] <calwig> thought id ask
[00:22] <sergei> somebody speak spanish?
[00:22] <Anteros> krabador: Formatting this partition for a reinstallation will erase the data contained within you need to excercise caution
[00:22] <dr_willis> calwig:  i seem to recall a gui tool or 2. but i last used them 2+ yrs ago.
[00:23] <sergei> exit
[00:23] <dr_willis> !es | sergei
[00:23] <redheat> thank you so much dr_willis, I found an easier way, I just opened ubuntu software center and clicked on installed...and I can all of them now installed
[00:24] <sergei> ok ubottu muchas gracias
[00:24] <krabador> Anteros, yes, i know, no way to install another os without delete all?
[00:24] <redheat> I thank you so much I kinda winged that workout, and it did the trick, I just wanted to know the programs installed so I can install them in
[00:24] <calwig> dr_willis, you know android has a good app if i could just use it for linux
[00:24] <calwig> dr_willis, if you remember shoot, going to look around :)
[00:25] <redheat> thank you again dr_willis, and all of your for your help..I appreciate it thank you so much for the kind help...
[00:25]  * dr_willis sends redheat the bill...
[00:25] <Anteros> krabador: you have to format and install to partitions that are not in use. The important thing that you need to understand is that formatting/deleting a partition erases all data within it
[00:26] <ZukZak_> hi
[00:27] <Anteros> krabador: if the data you want to keep is in /dev/sda2 and you are installing to /dev/sda3 then it would be ok to format /dev/sda3 but not /dev/sda2
[00:27] <skegeek> How do you exit Scale mode? I forgot the key combination.
[00:28] <krabador> Anteros, my / is /dev/sda1, the folder is in /home/user inside / , and i can use only /dev/sda1
[00:28] <paul__> hey anyone able to tell me how to customize a xubuntu live cd?  I want to customize the default desktop/panel setup
[00:28] <veryhappy> dr_willis: can you explain me how i can reconfigure tasksel to "automatically install security updates" instead of "use landscape service"?
[00:29] <Anteros> krabador: can you resize ? it can be messy to just push data into an already existing partition.
[00:30] <Anteros> krabador: as long as you do not format/delete the partition you should be able to push the data
[00:31] <krabador> Anteros, can i chroot the system updating the hardware?
[00:32] <Anteros> krabador: when you install it will chroot into your new system. I don't know what you mean by "updating the hardware"
[00:34]  * Anteros has to go
[00:34] <krabador> Anteros, i mean chroot my ubuntu installation, let the hardware recognition, and install hardware support, something like that
[00:34] <Anteros> I'll check back in later tonight.
[00:34] <krabador> Anteros, ok goodbye
[00:34] <Anteros> krabador: the installer should do that for you
[00:35] <unraised> Hi, is there anyone available to help me? I'm trying to bootstrap a powerpc ubuntu using qemu. Would someone help me troubleshoot networking issues? I've built the rootfs using debootstrap on a mounted ext3-formatted raw image file. I can get it to boot by passing init=/bin/sh to the kernel, but networking doesn't work. Any ideas?
[00:35] <Anteros> krabador:  good luck and be certain.
[00:35] <holstein> !ppc
[00:37] <paul__> Hey, Anyone able to help me with setting up the default panel configuration for a xubuntu live cd?
[00:37] <paul__> I'm not sure where to start.
[00:37] <holstein> paul__: you just boot the live CD, and it'll be default
[00:38] <paul__> holstein: I mean I want to change what the default is
[00:39] <krabador> hi people i need to update my ubuntu installation to the hardware of another motherboard
[00:39] <holstein> paul__: just boot it up and change it.. you want the settings to be persistent?.. what is your goal?
[00:39] <krabador> how can i do that?
[00:39] <paul__> holstein: yeah I want a custom live cd
[00:39] <holstein> krabador: try just moving it "as-is".. if you have any specific drivers installed, you might have issues, otherwise, the kernel is "modular"
[00:40] <holstein> paul__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[00:40] <paul__> holstein: it doesn't cover xfce
[00:41] <holstein> paul__: it? the link i gave? "its" all the same, really.. where are you stuck?
[00:42] <paul__> holstein: Yes it as in the link you gave.  Since I'm using xubuntu I don't have any idea how to customize the default xfce settings.
[00:43] <holstein> paul__: what have you tried? and what is failing?
[00:43] <krabador> holstein, i used ubuntu 12.10 , and now i changed motherboard, because the last fault, now i would use 12.10 on the actual motherboard
[00:44] <holstein> krabador: and, it should just work... try it and see, and go from there
[00:44] <paul__> holstein: I'm trying to change panel config, nothing is failing yet, I've installed all the additional packages I wanted and have tested the custom iso, all that worked
[00:46] <holstein> paul__: you can always ask in one of the xubuntu or xfce specific channels
[00:46] <paul__> holstein: sure, I'll look for one, thanks
[00:47] <DankenseN> good evening dear all
[00:48] <Rolz_Ramaz> hi
[00:50] <tongcx> compdoc: /j r
[00:52] <Rolz_Ramaz> noone talking 2day?
[00:55] <Jax> hello
[00:55] <Jax> where i can find help with TOAD?
[00:55] <bekks> Jax: TOAD from Quest?
[00:56] <Jax> yep
[00:56] <Jax> in ubuntu with wine
[00:56] <bekks> Jax: Contact Quest then.
 can anyone explain me how i can reconfigure tasksel to "automatically install security updates" instead of "use landscape service"? i don't wanna make a complete reinstall just because of the wrong setting...
[00:57] <Jax> ok, thanks
[01:06] <dr_willis> tasksel can auto install updates? Never seen that mentioned befor
[01:06] <unraised> !grub
[01:07] <dr_willis> cant say ive seen the term  'landscape' service either..
[01:07] <veryhappy> https://www.citycloud.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ubuntu-from-scratch-step-11.jpg
[01:08] <veryhappy> i mean the picture that's visible at this link
[01:09] <dr_willis> if thats from dpkg installing the software.. you  can get back to it via 'sudo  dpkg-reconfigure packagename'
[01:09] <dr_willis> ive still never heard of landscape
[01:09] <dr_willis> !find landscape
[01:09] <dr_willis> !info  landscape-client
[01:09] <veryhappy> there you go
[01:10] <dr_willis> dosent say  much
[01:10] <qman__> landscape is canonical's management system, it's also related to the unattended upgrades feature
[01:10] <iceroot> dr_willis: its the default managing tool for unattanted setups/upgrades
[01:10] <dr_willis> the apt descriptions are often not very descriptive. ;)
[01:10] <iceroot> dr_willis: its very common today
[01:10] <veryhappy> yea
[01:10] <servvs> okay so I am going to install ubuntu server on an old pc here in a minute and was wondering if it would be better to just use the 32 bit version if i plan on compiling 32 bit applications (such as wine) on it
[01:11] <dr_willis> servvs:  i tend to use 64bit os on all my  64bit hardware
[01:11] <dr_willis> but an old pc.. maybe 32bit only anyway
[01:11] <servvs> well, its an athlon x2
[01:11] <veryhappy> so what you say should i go with landscape or not? i have 3 pc's on here with ubuntu but i don't know if landscape is commercial or also can be used for free?
[01:11] <dr_willis> why would you think its not free?
[01:12] <servvs> supports 64, but I really want to compile wine for some unsupported patches but have not had any luck on 64 bit
[01:12] <dr_willis> its part of  ubuntu  so under the gpl isent it?
[01:12] <iceroot> veryhappy: everything in ubuntu is free (as in free speech)
[01:12] <veryhappy> ok
[01:12] <veryhappy> dr_willis: because i read something about commercial service that costs 250
[01:12] <dr_willis> servvs:  there ya go.. you answerd your  own question then. ;)
[01:12] <servvs> except for the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:12] <iceroot> veryhappy: commercial does not mean something is not free
[01:12] <dr_willis> veryhappy:  sure it dident read 'comercial support' ?
[01:12] <iceroot> !free
[01:12] <xyzone> call it libre instead of free
[01:13] <veryhappy> ok
[01:14] <veryhappy> i just don't have any knowledge about that stuff that's why i also think i first should use the old method and then try to go with landscape
[01:14] <veryhappy> actually a good idea
[01:14] <veryhappy> ok thanks @ all
[01:14] <veryhappy> take care
[01:14] <Shibumi> Hello, all
[01:14] <servvs> if I were to compile wine in a chroot directory could I make a deb of it and install it locally?
[01:14] <dr_willis> wsent it  just stated that  landcape is commonly  used these days instead?
[01:16] <dr_willis> if you  make a proper deb.. i would think you could install it on other  machines.. so  that would include locally  also.
[01:17] <krabador> hi, i need to reinstall 12.10 generic graphic driver
[01:17] <iceroot> servvs: not that easy
[01:17] <iceroot> servvs: creating a deb needs special steps so you cant just say "make a deb from the content of directory foobar"
[01:18] <dr_willis> is that what he was asking? ;) i totallyu missread it then
[01:18] <iceroot> servvs: and i dont see a reason to compile wine
[01:18] <dr_willis> thought he ment a chroot install.
[01:18] <servvs> patches
[01:18] <iceroot> servvs: there is for example "playonlinux" which is managing different wine prefixes for differents apps
[01:18] <iceroot> servvs: there is also winetricks
[01:19] <servvs> sorry I meant a debootstrap chroot directory to compile 32bit on 64bit machine
[01:19] <iceroot> servvs: there is no need for that, you can easily compile 32bit on 64bit systems
[01:19] <krabador> hi people
[01:19] <servvs> how so iceroot
[01:20] <servvs> I have tried but always end up failing
[01:20] <iceroot> servvs: and with "multiarch" you normally have a normal 32bit system and a amd64 system in one system
[01:20] <krabador> how can i reinstall Ubuntu generic graphic driver?
[01:20] <iceroot> servvs: you can tell gcc for example to compile 32bit
[01:20] <dr_willis> krabador:  perhaps give us more details.. theres no generic graphic driver other then the vesa driver...
[01:20] <iceroot> servvs: you can even say to compile for arm
[01:24] <iceroot> servvs: and if you want for example create a 32bit deb on an amd64 system there is a setting "any/all"
[01:24] <wererogue> Hi, I have a question about display settings - I've done a lot of forum searching and found a bunch of questions, but no solutions.
[01:25] <iceroot> servvs: in debian/control  if you use "any" it will create 32bit and 64bit, if you use "all" it will create an architecrue-indepented paket
[01:25] <iceroot> servvs: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html
[01:25] <wererogue> My display is in widescreen, but with a 4:3 resolution - the pixels aren't square.  In 10.04, I could use xorg.conf's DisplaySize setting to modify the DPI so that the aspect ratio was correct, but it doesn't seem to work in 12.04.
[01:26] <wererogue> Is there a new way to change the DPI ratio?
[01:27] <dr_willis> !xrabdr
[01:27] <dr_willis> !xrandr
[01:27] <dr_willis> perhaps the xrandr settings.. but im not  clear on what your trying to do.
[01:27] <dr_willis> when you  display a 4:3 screen you mean its getting stretched out?
[01:28] <wererogue> I'm trying to get a 16:9 aspect ratio on an 800x600 screen.
[01:29] <wererogue> So yeah, if it was a normal 4:3 screen it would appear squashed, but on this screen the pixels aren't square so it would be correct.
[01:30] <dr_willis> this is on a netbook? or some other odd monitor?
[01:32] <Vivekananda> hey everyone. I have a couple of libre office  drawing usage questions. Using lubuntu 12.04. Any quick usage guides. I am trying for now to find how to anchor a couple of pics placed on top of each other so they are one unit when I copy and paste them
[01:33] <escott> Vivekananda, you might see if there is a libreoffice channel
[01:33] <escott> !alis | Vivekananda
[01:34] <wererogue> If I'm reading it right, the xrandr page suggests using DisplaySize to correct the DPI, which, as above, worked in 10.04 but doesn't in 12.04
[01:34] <wererogue> Maybe I should raise a bug?
[01:34] <dr_willis> search for existing bug reports first
[01:35] <dr_willis> could also be the syntax of the xorg.conf options have changed. ive not had to touch xorg.conf in years.
[01:35] <dr_willis> theres been a lot of changes to X since 10.04 i belive..
[01:36] <wererogue> The wiki page for xorg still has DisplaySize, but I'll do a bit more hunting in case.  Thanks for your help.

[01:37] <switz> ok, i'll be the n00b...is there an easy way to delete the grub loader from my mac recovery hd partition?
[01:39] <skulltip> installing hl2 deathmatch in steam at the moment :) it is beta though
[01:39] <dr_willis> switz:  carefull use of the dd command.. the boot-repair tool might be easier to use
[01:39] <dr_willis> but for a mac  - that  maybe  a totally differnt story..
[01:41] <n2diy> my SD card reader isn't working, is there a way to restart it?
[01:41] <Snowdogs> sudo reboot
[01:41] <steven-> Where does gnome3 store the extensions, which were installed using the extensions.gnome.org site?
[01:41] <unraised> Hi, I currently have no internet connection on my qemu board. lspci shows Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., RTL-8029(AS), but ifconfig only shows lo, not eth0. Help?
[01:42] <switz> ya..think i have to get into the disk utility and look around....but til then, can i ask...is there a way to get rid of the loader screen when i try to go to windows or ubuntu? background info: i have a macbook pro that i am triple booting mac os, windows 7, and ubuntu 12.04
[01:45] <Snowdogs> switz, you might have better luck in a mac chat room
[01:45] <switz> k, thanks...doesn't help if i say i'm using rEFIt to boot the system up does it? heh
[01:47] <Snowdogs> no, its still a mac
[01:47] <switz> k, thanks
[01:52] <centrelink> hi, is there an ubuntu development channel?
[01:56] <pendos> Hello my fellow linux enthusiasts
[01:57] <SteevB> Hi!
[01:57] <pendos> SteevB: How goes it?
[01:57] <SteevB> Good. Just enjoying my Thursday
[01:58] <pendos> Mmm, Thursdays, the day before Friday, which is the day before the sweet sweet freedom of the weekend!
[01:58] <SteevB> Indeed.I cant wait for the weekend
[01:58] <pendos> Unless you're in University, in which case "freedom" is but a distant memory :(
[02:00] <SteevB> I am actually. haha.
[02:00] <pendos> Well then you share my pain!
[02:06] <c2tarun> can anyone please tell me how to uninstall a particular package if I installed it directly from its deb: For installation I issued this command in a folder which has three deb files. "dpkg --install *.deb"
[02:07] <ai6pg> apt-get remove package
[02:07] <c2tarun> ai6pg, and what will the package name? the name of deb file?
[02:08] <pendos> It's always bugged me how things that weren't part of the Ubuntu repositories weren't super straightforward to install.
[02:08] <holstein> c2tarun: i would just open a package manager and search
[02:09] <c2tarun> holstein, let me try
[02:11] <c2tarun> holstein, got them :) thanks, removing them from synaptic will purge them right?
[02:11] <c2tarun> holstein, ok, I got it, its mark for complete removal.
[02:13] <c2tarun> holstein, one more help please, from jockey (addditional drivers) which ATI driver should I install? post-release one or normal one ( I am sure not the beta one)
[02:13] <holstein> !ati | c2tarun this is what i refer to
[02:13] <holstein> i usually start with the latest
[02:14] <dhci> hello. does it make much sense that I would see a smartphone device show up in nautilus alongside my other drive partitions but I can't really see it listed with /dev/disk/by-uuid or similar?
[02:15] <c2tarun> holstein, you mean driver with post-release updates?
[02:17] <holstein> c2tarun: i mean, that wiki page is what i refer to when seeing what package i need.. and if there are options, i usually begin testing with the latest
[02:23] <dr_willis> dhci:  mostt of the newer android phones use mtp as  the protocall  when they get plugged into a pc via usb these days. that  is not  well  suipported on 12.10 and below. theres work arounds for it. 13.04 is  supposed to  have better support for it.
[02:23] <pendos> I can't wait for Mir to come out :)
[02:23]  * pendos jitters excitedly
[02:24]  * dr_willis imagines how  chaotic  this  channel will become then
[02:24] <pendos> dr_willis: When Mir comes out?
[02:24] <embed-ns> Mir? wasn't that a soviet space station?
[02:24] <dr_willis> and when  the systemd stuff gets used.. and...
[02:24] <AL_Kernell> hello fellows
[02:25] <dr_willis> embed-ns:  the one that crashed. ;)
[02:25] <AL_Kernell> i'm having a problem here, with more than 1 distribution of linux, Ubuntu, Kubuntu....
[02:25] <AL_Kernell> when I swith back to TTY7  (with my game, Quake, running in TTY 8)   every keystrokes and mouse clicks are sent to the game...
[02:25] <AL_Kernell> anyone know how to fix it?
[02:25] <embed-ns> dr_willis: that'd be the one ;)
[02:25] <embed-ns> what is this other mir thing then?
[02:25] <dr_willis> AL_Kernell:  i  do  belivve theres ports of quake to X that have better graphics and other features
[02:26] <AL_Kernell> yeah i'm using the latest (ezQuake)
[02:26] <dr_willis> embed-ns:  the replaement for  X that  ubuntu  is  supposed to 'converge' to using some time in the future - for Tablet/phone/pc ussage
[02:26] <dr_willis> AL_Kernell:  seem  odd for an X app to be on its own tty then..
[02:26] <embed-ns> really? a universal co-ordinate system? fascinating
[02:28] <dr_willis> AL_Kernell:  sounds like  that game is grabbing the keyinputs in  a very  low level way. so its   not  playing nicely. ;)
[02:31] <embed-ns> I realize its off topic, anybody know the command line I can throw at XChat to stop showing join/part ?
[02:32] <dr_willis> embed-ns:  right  click  on a tab - theres a setting
[02:32] <embed-ns> damn, that was easy, thanks doc
[02:32] <dr_willis> theres also some option you  can /set  i belive - see the xchat docs..
[02:32] <dr_willis> notice the  'help'  menu  item in xchats menus. ;)
[02:33] <dr_willis> conferance mode -  i think sets it on for all channels y default
[02:33] <embed-ns> yeah, I tried /help but was too lazy to dig
[02:33] <dr_willis> xchat over theyears have moved things away from menu items to  command type settings..  whichis abit  annoying aboutit
[02:33] <embed-ns> I only have two channels, both done now.
[02:34] <dr_willis> i perfer weecchat and  its smart filtering of parts/join/quits
[02:34] <embed-ns> weechat eh? I'll have a look, haven't used irc for years, xchat was avail in synaptic so I installed it.
[02:34] <dr_willis> if someone joins.. then says nothing.. then quits.. i dont see any messages aboutit  in weechat..
[02:35] <dr_willis> if you quit/part now.. i would see the  part..
[02:35] <dr_willis> because youhave said somthing in the last 4 min or so.
[02:36] <dr_willis> well.  i  would if i  was currently using weechat.. on my android phone rightnow
[02:36] <embed-ns> dr_willis: thanks man, installing now.
[02:36] <embed-ns> oh? its android compat?
[02:36] <dr_willis> weecchat has a 'server/forwarding' featutre to connect to  a weechat client thats out  now on android also
[02:36] <dr_willis> but its experimental.
[02:37] <embed-ns> dr_willis: works for me, if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space ;)
[02:38] <dr_willis> theres living on the  edge.. then theres getting lost in the abyss
[02:38] <dr_willis> the weechat client now for android..  i am typing this.. it semi works.. it just dosent echo  anything that i can see.. so its so broken for  me -  its useless
[02:39] <embed-ns> dr_willis: but like everything these days, the abyss is digital too, there's always a reset button
[02:39] <dr_willis> Yep. it still has issues for weechat + weechat android client.
[02:39] <dr_willis> i tend to use znc to bounce irc  anyway.
[02:40] <embed-ns> well, no big deal it don't work on the phone, I wouldn't need it that much. Lets face it, irc for the most part is join/part rtfm eh? :)
[02:40] <dr_willis> that maybe  whats causing my  issues..
[02:40] <dr_willis> i rarely  see any join/part messages these days. :)
[02:40] <dr_willis> turn  them off is the  first thing i do
[02:40] <dr_willis> and  ive read mostof the docs.. years ago. ;P
[02:41] <embed-ns> back when they called em rfc's I would have to assume ;)
[02:41] <dr_willis> they still  got RFCs
[02:41] <dr_willis> back in the day when tldp.org was the defacto doc place.
[02:41] <embed-ns> yeah, but back then they called em rfcs
[02:42] <krabador> ok, i solved my 12.10 installation after a motherboard change, but now Nvidia CK804, it's perfectly present, with all volumes right on alsamixer, but it's completely mute
[02:42] <krabador> can you help me to give it voice?
[02:42] <dr_willis> using the  hdmi  audio output?
[02:43] <krabador> dr_willis, not, the 3,5 jack
[02:43] <Anteros> nice krabador
[02:43] <dr_willis> hmm.  may  want to install/check  the  pavcontrol tool.
[02:43] <dr_willis> !info pavcontrol
[02:43] <krabador> dr_willis, it's the ac97 integrated audio of Nforce chipset
[02:43] <dr_willis> hmm what was its name,
[02:43] <krabador> Anteros, :D
[02:43] <dr_willis> !info pavucontrol
[02:44] <dr_willis> No idea  what that  U in the nameis  for. ;)
[02:44] <dr_willis> but ive had to use pavUcontrol befor - to tweak the sound output on some machines
[02:44] <expoo_> %
[02:45] <krabador> dr_willis, it's a little bit annoying to look the card, all right in the alsa.conf on alsamixer,a and correctly set by default
[02:45] <krabador> and don't hear nothing :D
[02:45] <dr_willis> perhaps thats  beccause youneed to  be messing with the pulse settings?
[02:45] <expoo_> !
[02:46] <krabador> dr_jesus, mmm
[02:46] <dr_willis> pavucontrol has a thing to  select what sound  output to use. it may be  defaulting to the  HDMI out. eventho its not used
[02:46] <dr_willis> ive had that  happen on other pcs
[02:47] <dr_willis> ive also had pcs default to the analog out.. when i was using HDMI output.. :)
[02:48] <dr_willis> which i guess is  basically a  way of saying the  system is using  the wrong soundcard.
[02:48] <dr_willis> I think  theres some alsa cli  tools to  change that  also...
[02:48] <krabador> dr_willis, yes, it's clear. on alsamixer, in the list of audio cards, i've only the ac97...
[02:49] <nathan28> i've got an ubuntu 12.04 workstation w/ a lot of defaults on it and am not familiar w/ upstart systems or lightdm, if i'm looking to boot to bash and use startx, what do i need to fiddle with
[02:50] <dr_willis> !text | nathan28
[02:50] <dr_willis> use the text mode option. ;)
[02:51] <nathan28> dr_willis: thx
[02:51] <pedahzur> Does anyone here use Eclipse on Ubuntu?  I just installed Eclipse 3.7.2 in Ubuntu 12.04. That pulled in libswt-* 3.7.2. But when I try to start eclipse, it gives me an error, and points me to a log file that starts out: "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path no swt-gtk in java.library.path" Any ideas?
[02:51] <embed-ns> krabador: in the output section of the audio parameters, do you have a connector selection at the bottom of the panel? And if so, are there options within it? Eg  headphones/speakers?
[02:52] <krabador> embed-ns, analog out / amplifier
[02:53] <Anteros> pedahzur: looks like you need the swt library. Try "apt-cache search swt" to get some package names
[02:53] <embed-ns> krabador: also, in the hardware section, do you have choices for digital/analog ?
[02:53] <tigrang> Why do flash games lag under ubuntu? Any way to fix it?
[02:53] <krabador> embed-ns, yes
[02:54] <krabador> tigrang, do you have the latest driver for your graphic card?
[02:54] <embed-ns> krabador, and are you attempting to use analog output (eg 1/8" audio out?)
[02:54] <krabador> embed-ns, yes
[02:54] <pedahzur> Anteros: I already have libswt-gtk-* installed (the eclipse install (apt-get install eclipse)  installed those).  And the log complains about not being able to find swt-gtk in the path.
[02:54] <tigrang> krabador, im using open source drivers (amd)
[02:55] <embed-ns> krabador: so, if you select analog in Output, and analog in Hardward, still no sound?
[02:55] <krabador> embed-ns, yes, no sound
[02:55] <Anteros> pedahzur: is eclipse searching a different $path? try running ldconfig and restarting
[02:55] <krabador> embed-ns, it was a known bug a copuple of years ago
[02:56] <embed-ns> krabador: in the Hardware section, bottom of the panel, how many options in the profile section?
[02:56] <krabador> embed-ns, with this integrates audiocard
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Hmm
[02:57] <krabador> embed-ns, many...
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> all righty trying the weechat android client thing without  znc.
[02:58] <embed-ns> krabador: which one is currently selected?
[02:58] <pedahzur> Anteros: Same error.  Eclipse is a Java application, not sure ldconfig would apply here.
[02:58] <krabador> embed-ns, analog / amplifiers
[02:59] <embed-ns> krabador: do you have an option for simply  analog stero duplex?
[02:59] <krabador> embed-ns, excuse me, "hardware section" on audio options?
[02:59] <Anteros> pedahzur: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10165693/eclipse-cannot-load-swt-libraries
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> im glad i dont have to use eclipse  for my job. ;) i see so many weird issues with it mentioned in here.
[02:59] <embed-ns> hardware section on audio options yes
[03:00] <embed-ns> krabador, there are two sections that need to be used in tandem here. 1) Output (connector) and 2) Hardware (profile)
[03:00] <embed-ns> they need to match up.
[03:00] <bencc> is there a command to give me unique file name if it is already taken? myname(1), myname(2)... ?
[03:01] <amigamia> hi i am doinng an apt-get install moodle. i just thought about it and i was going to make another test partition i can make with ubuntu server so if i wanted to remove what i just installed what would be the command? apt-get remove moodle ?
[03:01] <embed-ns> bencc: hmm, how about the date command :)
[03:01] <pedahzur> Anteros: Solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10165693/eclipse-cannot-load-swt-libraries
[03:02] <krabador> embed-ns, ok, i've "digital output, mono analog out /no amplifier , mono analog out / amplifier , analog out /no amplifier , analog out / amplifier "
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> amigamia:  apt really dosent  do installing to  selectable areas.. if that what you mean.
[03:02] <Anteros> pedahzur: yes, thats what I linked
[03:02] <bencc> embed-ns: I don't want it to be too long. so myname(2) is better
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> amigamia:  apt-get remove should cleanly  remove it..  the purge option will remove all config files as well
[03:02] <zZeus> greetings good people, I come with problems to solve
[03:02] <embed-ns> krabador, which of the two is that one? Output? if so, lets go for analog out / no amplifier
[03:03] <krabador> embed-ns, on audio options, i haven't an hardware section, i've only "output, input, effects,application"
[03:03] <amigamia> dr_willis what i was meaning was to use 80gig not used on this laptop and create a test environment for stuff i am doing so i dont have to rebuild this laptop working environment again
[03:03] <embed-ns> krabador, no hardware section? I guess that's it for my assistance then.
[03:03] <zZeus> Is there any way of forcing my nvidia card to output 1366x768 resolution?
[03:03] <krabador> embed-ns, it's selected "analog out / amplifier"
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> amigamia:  theres various sandboxing methods  i  imagine..  but  i  never use  that stuff
[03:03] <pedahzur> Anteros: Sorry...didn't even see you paste that link...not sure why.
[03:03] <pedahzur> Thanks.
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> zZeus:  the  xrandr command has force res options i recall
[03:04] <krabador> embed-ns, must i set to "no amplifier" ?
[03:04] <zZeus> Roger that Dr_Willis, I'll try
[03:04] <amigamia> no my question was can i do a apt-get uninstall / remove moodle? which command is it?
[03:04] <amigamia> uninstall remove?
[03:04] <embed-ns> krabador, what kind of speaker system are you outputting to? the systems internal speakers or some type of external speaker?
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get remove packagename
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> or    sudo  apt-get purge packagename
[03:05] <krabador> embed-ns, i'm on an aux of an old pioneer hi-fi
[03:05] <embed-ns> krabador, heh, well then, its got its own amp
[03:05] <embed-ns> krabador, set your options to no amp
[03:06] <krabador> embed-ns, i tried, but no audio the same...
[03:06] <embed-ns> krabador, and your problem may be the impedance of the jack in the stereo system too.
[03:07] <embed-ns> krabador, not having a Hardware section in your audio panel is kind of odd tho too.
[03:07] <krabador> embed-ns, i ever used this for all the mainboard i had, now it's the first time i've something like this,
[03:07] <embed-ns> krabador, that would be where you would be able to make sure its using analog instead of hdmi
[03:07] <krabador> embed-ns, i'm on 12.10
[03:08] <zZeus> I'm trying to use CVT to write me a good modeline, but for some reason, it keeps outputting the same help screen
[03:08] <krabador> embed-ns, how would figuring the hdmi on andio option ?
[03:08] <zZeus> Even though I'm feeding it -v and -r
[03:08] <krabador> embed-ns, on alsamixer i've only this nvidia card
[03:08] <embed-ns> krabador, do you not have access to the regular Audio panel, the pulse panel?
[03:09] <krabador> embed-ns, the audio panel on the logoff menu, to the right
[03:10] <krabador> excuse me, the audio panel on the speaker , to the right of the black bar
[03:10] <embed-ns> krabador, found by clicking the speaker icon in the upper right (well, depending on where you put your tray), and then selecting Sound Settings
[03:11] <krabador> embed-ns, yes, i ever had this panel, on our conversation :)
[03:11] <embed-ns> but no Hardware panel within it?
[03:11] <krabador> embed-ns, yes, no hardware panel
[03:11] <embed-ns> krabador, sorry man, I can't help then.
[03:12] <krabador> only "output, input effects applications" tabs
[03:13] <embed-ns> krabador, maybe your hardware only outputs hdmi so there is no need for a hardware options panel.
[03:13] <embed-ns> no idea
[03:13] <krabador> embed-ns, ok, but alsamixer displays me only this ac97 card
[03:14] <embed-ns> krabador, I have only one card too, but my panel shows me a hardware settings panel that allows me to select options, I have to select analog to get mine to work.
[03:15] <OerHeks> alsa mixer F6 to change audio device
[03:15] <OerHeks> maybe you need to expand alsamixer, it could hide more options than you can see
[03:16] <krabador> embed-ns, if you mean for "hardware panel" the screen on "output" section, with "analog out / amplifier" and other voices, i've the hardware panel
[03:16] <embed-ns> wow, I've not the time to start over, that was question #1
[03:16] <embed-ns> gotta go
[03:23] <krabador> please help me with "00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: NVIDIA Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)"
[03:29] <BryanRuiz1_> so when i hit ctrl + leftarrow in terminal, it deletes a letter instead of moving by word, any thoughts on this?
[03:32] <Anteros> BryanRuiz1_: Ctrl+w to delete whole words
[03:32] <BryanRuiz1_> what about moving between words
[03:32] <dr_willis> i dont think  thats what he wants to do. ;)
[03:32] <BryanRuiz1_> i have the correct key bindings i think
[03:32] <BryanRuiz1_> i just dont know why in vi mode its deleting stuff
[03:32] <dr_willis> what kind of keyboard/language settings are you  iusing?
[03:32] <dr_willis> you got the terminal set in vi mode?
[03:33] <BryanRuiz1_> dr_willis: yes
[03:33] <BryanRuiz1_> keyboard, i have no idea how to find that out
[03:33] <dr_willis> sounds like its in command mode. not insert mode.
[03:33] <BryanRuiz1_> but i know that the keybinding is correct looking at the sequence in /etc/inputrc and cat
[03:33] <dr_willis> ctrl-W would delete a whole word i  belive..
[03:33] <dr_willis> I never use vi keybindinsg for the terminal
[03:33] <BryanRuiz1_> maybe ill try emacs again
[03:34] <BryanRuiz1_> i use vi as an editor so i thought it be better to use vi
[03:34] <BryanRuiz1_> at least i think that is why i chose it awhile back
[03:34] <dr_willis> i dont really  do complex enough things in the shell to justify vi mode
[03:34] <sabonis> hi there
[03:36] <cfhowlett> sabonis, greetings
[03:36] <somsip> BryanRuiz1_: same as in vi - ESC to enter move mode, then b and w to move back and forwards. ESC gets you back to insert
[03:36] <BryanRuiz1_> thx somsip
[03:36] <Nikon> Hi there, my hp evny m6 is over heating, only while using ubuntu tho, also no wifi drivers
[03:37] <BryanRuiz1_> so i changed to emaces, and now when i hit ctrl + leftarrow it shows a "5D"
[03:37] <BryanRuiz1_> i just double checked my bindings in /etc/inputrc
[03:37] <BryanRuiz1_> and they are there
[03:37] <BryanRuiz1_> back-word and forward-word
[03:37] <cfhowlett> Nikon, I might be able to help with wifi.  what wifi chip do you have
[03:38] <Nikon> uhh
[03:38] <Nikon> realtek
[03:38] <Nikon> or
[03:38] <Nikon> Ralink
[03:38] <Nikon> Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter
[03:38] <cfhowlett> Nikon, errr, no.  I can speak to Broadcom issues with some experience but not realtek.  sorry
[03:38] <BryanRuiz1_> ah, i messed that up.. i had a local ~/.inputrc messing things up
[03:38] <BryanRuiz1_> thanks guys
[03:50] <sabonis> Is any programmer here
[04:00] <ai6pg> help IG
[04:04] <bill_gill> is anyone familiar with v4l-dvb ?
[04:05] <bill_gill> i need advice on building the module
[04:05] <cfhowlett> !anyone|bill_gill,
[04:07] <hanthana> i want to let a specific user to upload content via ftp for /var/wwwuploads
[04:07] <hanthana> sorry /var/www/uploads
[04:07] <hanthana> how to set this path for vsftp ?
[04:08] <Ben64> hanthana: you might want to use sftp instead, much more secure
[04:08] <bill_gill> thanks ubottu but this is more than question and answer. i don't want to type a lenghty post to find no response.
[04:09] <hanthana> Ben64, ok, how to specify the location
[04:09] <Ben64> hanthana: what do you mean
[04:10] <cfhowlett> bill_gill, suggest you type out a detailed text, paste it and introduce the query in this channel
[04:10] <hanthana> Ben64, i want to let a user to upload only to /var/www/uploads via ftp
[04:10] <hanthana> later some one else will download the content (XML) files upload by previous person
[04:11] <Ben64> hanthana: then give the user write access to that directory
[04:11] <Flyzoola> hey guys, I tried updating my Ubuntu version to 11.10, and Ieft it twhile I was at school and came back and the PC was off
[04:11] <Flyzoola> I tried turning it on and am getting a kernel panic. How do I fix this?
[04:11] <bill_gill> cfhowlett, ok
[04:11] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, reboot.  choose an older version of ubuntu, i.e an earlier kernel
[04:11] <DankenseN> Hi everybody, i wanted to know what could i do with an OpenSUSE whereas i could not on Ubuntu ?
[04:12] <hanthana> Ben64, how can i make sure that he won't access other directories in the file system
[04:12] <cfhowlett> DankenseN, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please.  this channel is for tech support
[04:13] <Flyzoola> cfhowlett: another problem, at the grub screen the monitor always says "Out of frequency" (I've tried on various monitors and I get the same message), so I don't know if I'll be able to get it right. Just randomly guess would be best, right?
[04:14] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, if you're getting than on multiple monitor attempts, I'd guess your video card settings are suspect.  then again, how much do you spend looking at the grub screen?

[04:15] <bill_gill> help needed building 4lv-dvb module on 12.04 stable new install. Tuner card Hauppauge HVR-1600 CX180/CX23418 PCM. what libraries should I have before make? Since I know the HW can I build just for this device?
[04:15] <corehook> i do than, but it start again
[04:15] <corehook> i comment ftp line in inetd.conf
[04:16] <corehook> but it started again
[04:16] <din> still starts?
[04:16] <corehook> yep
[04:16] <corehook> still starts
[04:16] <din> is it defined in /etc/inetd.d or somewhere? (i don't have inetd installed)
[04:17] <din> if so you could just rename the file
[04:17] <OerHeks> bill_gill, the english guide does not help much >  http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers   but the german one may be helpfull >> http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/v4l-dvb
[04:17] <mesoderm> I am trying to play a .ram playlist in mplayer, and getting the following error: http://pastebin.com/Tzv7QnrG .... it also fails to play in rhythmbox

[04:18] <bill_gill> OerHeks. great now I can learn to read german while i learn linux
[04:18] <din> have you tried commenting it out in /etc/services
[04:18] <din> ?
[04:19] <OerHeks> bill_gill, commands are the same :-D
[04:19] <Flyzoola> the Kernel panic I am getting says "run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory"
[04:19] <corehook> no
[04:19] <corehook> do it ?
[04:19] <din> it can't hurt
[04:20] <din> unless of course you really do want to run ftp
[04:20] <din> heh
[04:20] <bill_gill> OerHeks, the link is for ver 11.10
[04:20] <bill_gill> OerHeks can you confirm it can be done on 12.04 please
[04:20] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, unless those machines were *identical*, you cant' expect that moving the HDD from one machine to another will actually work.  Reinstall.
[04:21] <din> restarting inetd... maybe kill -HUP 1102
[04:21] <din> or whatever pid is associated with it.
[04:21] <Flyzoola> cfhowlett: I didn't. But it was working fine for about 8 or so months.
[04:21] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, ah,  different scenario.
[04:21] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, so on rebooting to an old kernel, you STILL panic?
[04:22] <Flyzoola> cfhowlett: it weird, it loads up a boot image of like Ubuntu 8.something. A yellow loadbar
[04:22] <Flyzoola> cfhowlett: am I able to install without having to delete basically everything?
[04:23] <Flyzoola> cfhowlett: like maybe using an update through a liveusb or something?
[04:23] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, if you /home is in a separate partition and you don't format that partition, yes
[04:25] <cfhowlett> Flyzoola, otherwise, back /home up to a usb and reinstall would be my advice.  *BUT* unless there's been a hardware change or failure, no good reason why a previously booting kernel should stop working ...

[04:36] <cfhowlett> amigamia, look for support on the moodle site ...
[04:37] <amigamia> well what command would i use to locate/find it?
[04:37] <amigamia> nobody answers in the chat and i cant locate it on their wiki or on a google search.
[04:37] <kelkabany> Our systems are all of a sudden unable to install lvm2, we're getting an apt-get error (Failed to fetch http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lvm2/lvm2_2.02.66-4ubuntu7.1_amd64.deb  403  Forbidden). Is the us-east-1 archive (hosed on Amazon S3) broken?
[04:38] <cfhowlett> amigamia, start at www.moodle.org
[04:39] <amigamia> what does that have to do with the find  or locate command? cfhowlett?
[04:40] <amigamia> seveas are you around?
[04:42] <cfhowlett> amigamia, you can find various moodle releases at download.moodle.org      apt-cache policy moodle will tell you what version is in the repos
[04:44] <amigamia> cfhowlett i found the ver however the maintainer for moodle has a old version
[04:47] <Intergage> Hey guys, do any of you know a good LAN Messager?
[04:47] <Intergage> Something so I don't get spammed with emails from people 2 offices away from me and they can just send me a little instant message.
[04:47] <Intergage> Taking a look at jabber at the moment.
[04:48] <amigamia> this is amazing i see posts on the moodle forum where it was asked that the maintainer from ubuntu update the moodle package and that was back in 2010. how frustrating. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/moodle/+bug/640572
[04:49] <amigamia> look at this https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=158230 September 2010!
[04:49] <amigamia> blah
[04:50] <amigamia> i wish i had read that first not to run apt-get.
[04:50] <isk8ufsusd> wondering if anyone can help me figure out why my ubuntu 64 bit 12.10 is randomly having the hard drive fill up almost completely and will only let me boot into low graphics mode
[04:50] <guigouz> Intergage, take a look at openfire
[04:51] <isk8ufsusd> currently i am in the command prompt and am told that i have used 138/145GB in my dev/sda1 folder
[04:53] <isk8ufsusd> anybody? please?
[04:54] <s00pcan> look for big files?
[04:54] <isk8ufsusd> i don't even know how to get into the dev folder
[04:54] <GentSir> isk8ufsusd, what's the issue?
[04:55] <isk8ufsusd> and I deleted the big files in my media folder
[04:55] <isk8ufsusd> I have had this happen like 5 times now and I can't figure it out
[04:55] <isk8ufsusd> I will boot up and have like 90GB of space available and then out of nowhere it will tell me the disk is full
[04:55] <isk8ufsusd> all my kid does is watch youtube and nickjr.com on the thing
[04:56] <isk8ufsusd> @gentsir, my hard drive just fills up when i don't even put files on it
[04:57] <isk8ufsusd> see i can't even use IRC anymore.  My dork level is like -100 right now
[04:58] <oldude67> isk8ufsusd, try not putting the @ this isnt twitter.
[04:58] <isk8ufsusd> no it is not
[04:59] <ericyuyan> ?
[04:59] <ericyuyan> what?
[04:59] <oldude67> isk8ufsusd, have you checked your log files?
[04:59] <isk8ufsusd> i can use the GUI of ubuntu
[04:59] <ericyuyan> no i have not
[04:59] <isk8ufsusd> I have no idea how to do it through the command prompt
[05:00] <isk8ufsusd> all i know is the folder is very full
[05:00] <isk8ufsusd> and i didn't put that much info on there
[05:02] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: Tried Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer ?
[05:02] <BONG_IT> how to fix initramfs
[05:02] <Anteros> BONG_IT: mkinitramfs ?
[05:03] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: there should also be an app named gdmap to help you visualize the disk usage
[05:03] <BONG_IT> initramfs only
[05:03] <isk8ufsusd> will these work through command prompt?
[05:04] <isk8ufsusd> ok it is downloading and setting up gdmap
[05:04] <isk8ufsusd> and now it says it can't open up the display
[05:05] <isk8ufsusd> probably because I am stuck in low graphics mode because i have no hard drive spac
[05:05] <isk8ufsusd> space
[05:06] <isk8ufsusd> is there a way in command prompt to see the size of different folders in the dev/sda1 folder?
[05:08] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: try "du -s /home | sort -rn | less "
[05:08] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: it'll take a bit of time to run
[05:09] <PoPpiLLs> isk8ufsusd: sit might be .xsession-errors or .xsession-errors.old in your home directory is taking up all your space
[05:09] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: also note that it is relegated to your /home folder
[05:09] <hanthana> how to list files in /var/www/abc over the web

[05:10] <dougbb> What's the best way to get a newer version of a package than is in the current repo?
[05:10] <Anteros> hanthana: apache
[05:11] <Anteros> dougbb: download it ? Note that it would be best to add its repo if its third party
[05:11] <s00pcan> dougbb: build it
[05:11] <dougbb> Anteros: I suspected that was the answer, but I need a suggestion on where to look :)
[05:12] <Anteros> dougbb: it depends on the package, google should turn up some locations
[05:12] <dougbb> Anteros, not so far ... it's libnet-dns-perl
[05:13] <hanthana> Anteros, yes on apache but what are the settings
[05:13] <isk8ufsusd> Anteros that command is not doing anything for me
[05:13] <dougbb> the only ones I've found are 0.68 or lower, I need 0.7
[05:14] <Anteros> dougbb: if you really need to you might have to build it from source. note that packages are generally better
[05:14] <dougbb> Yes, that's why I'm here asking :)
[05:15] <Anteros> hanthana: you have to setup apache to your liking. I believe that you'll have to make a virtual directory as described in httpd.conf
[05:15] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: is the hd activity light solid ?
[05:15] <Anteros> dougbb: you want to learn how to build a package from source ?
[05:16] <dougbb> looks like the answer to that is yes, unstable only has 0.68
[05:16] <isk8ufsusd> Anteros: no
[05:17] <sjihs> Hi all, zsh's fade prompt produces random characters on the prompt. This happens on both urxvt and gnome-terminal
[05:18] <Anteros> dougbb: download the source, uncompress it "tar xzvf <src file.tar.gz>", configure the package "./configure" resolve dependencies, compile the package "make", and then install it "make install"
[05:18] <isk8ufsusd> Anteros: it says the command isn't working because
[05:18] <isk8ufsusd> "no command -rn found"
[05:18] <isk8ufsusd> did I mean trn
[05:18] <dougbb> Anteros: n/m, looks like I already have everything I need to build this one
[05:18] <dougbb> thanks though :)
[05:18] <Anteros> dougbb: np
[05:19] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: are you sure you typed it as I showed up top?
[05:20] <isk8ufsusd> typed it multiple times
[05:20] <isk8ufsusd> will try again
[05:20] <Intergage> guigouz: Thanks man. Installing it now.
[05:21] <isk8ufsusd> comes back as 122413616 /home
[05:22] <isk8ufsusd> i missed the space after "less"  whodathunk
[05:22] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: ok try this: "du /home | sort -rn | less"
[05:24] <isk8ufsusd> now it says END but if i type "s" log files comes up
[05:25] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: is there anything in your /home directory ?
[05:25] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: we're looking for a sorted list of files with the largest on top
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> that didn't happen
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> i am stuck in the command prompt with end
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> i can't get out
[05:26] <Anteros> hit "q"
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> there we go
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> in my home folder is the standard stuff from an install
[05:26] <isk8ufsusd> then i have a media folder where i put a bunch of videos for my kid
[05:27] <isk8ufsusd> it takes up about 50GB or so
[05:27] <Anteros> hmm it should've still brought back something
[05:27] <isk8ufsusd> but where the random 80GB's comes from that is killing me i don't know
[05:28] <isk8ufsusd> maybe there isn't anything in my home folder but my home folder should be the one with the desktop and downloads folder and stuff correct
[05:28] <isk8ufsusd> all your command is returning is the number and then /home
[05:29] <Anteros> if you take the "-s" off of the du command it will bring back a full listing instead of the summary
[05:29] <Anteros> it could be that the "du /home | sort -rn | less" command was just taking a long time
[05:29] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: try it again and check out the hard drive activity light
[05:30] <isk8ufsusd> nothing.  it returns the number in about .01ms
[05:31] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: do you still have the "-s" after the du command?
[05:32] <isk8ufsusd> ok without -s a lot of stuff pops up
[05:32] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: ok good
[05:33] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: the list is sorted with the largest files on top and the smallest on the bottom
[05:33] <Anteros> you can hit "G" to go to the bottom and "Home" to go back up to the top
[05:33] <isk8ufsusd> well the biggest file is my media folder
[05:34] <kallep> Anyone successfully  developed a "professional" Iphone/pad app on ubuntu, I dont wanna waste alot of money, maybe i could code test on a vm in ubuntu and then just buy an account and upload if i ever finnish the project. Anyone have real experience in this success or fail?
[05:34] <isk8ufsusd> which is 55571624
[05:34] <isk8ufsusd> which i am guessing equates to something like 55GB
[05:35] <httpd4> dff
[05:35] <Anteros> isk8ufsusd: you can use that command string to find your extra 30GB
[05:36] <Anteros> or use the GUI tools
[05:36] <Anteros> anywho its time for me to get going
[05:36] <Anteros> good luck
[05:36] <isk8ufsusd> thanks
[05:44] <somsip> kallep: FWIW, I never got XCode to run on OSX under a VM. Didn't really persevere with it though
[05:44] <BlackDalek> what does it mean when, in unity, the whole window of an application fades out to a dark grey shade and freezes for a few minutes before recovering?

[06:04] <quick-> I tried using the sound recorder but it's not showing anything .Please  help
[06:04] <somsip> aaas: man hdparm
[06:06] <aaas> somsip do you know the flag for bps ...i cant find it in the man
[06:07] <somsip> aaas: From distant memory, I think -T is something to do with testing speed. But you need to confirm this
[06:08] <aaas> somsip yeah i need something faster...not so much to test, but something like iostat
[06:08] <aaas> but it looks like -T gives you the info fyi
[06:09] <DumP> exit
[06:10] <somsip> aaas: iostat would be my tool of choice at that level, though I don't have to get that gritty very often
[06:11] <aaas> somsip iostat is so close the problem is that the first set of stats gives you 'since boot', I need the second... if you type 'iostats 2' the second set is waht i need... but there's no flag to skip the first :(
[06:11] <BillyZane> hi
[06:12] <goddard> whats a good wifi dongle for ubuntu
[06:12] <serp_> aaas: you cluld use cut maybe
[06:13] <BillyZane> I just watched the promo video for the ubuntu phone
[06:14] <aaas> serp_ well it's the refresh... i could do grep/awk, but it only shows the data I want if it runs in 'polling' mode
[06:14] <BillyZane> I heard something about the phone being able to connect to your computer and be accessed
[06:14] <BillyZane> does anyone know any details about that?
[06:14] <somsip> !phone | BillyZane
[06:14] <bighahiko> join #debian-facile
[06:14] <BillyZane> oh nice
[06:14] <BillyZane> thanks
[06:14] <goddard> BillyZane: its all just talk at the moment
[06:15] <somsip> aaas: dunno. I'd be looking into awk for that too, but not sure
[06:15] <goddard> BillyZane: as far as the whole phone to computer thing
[06:15] <BillyZane> hmm
[06:15] <aaas> somsip yeah no go, can't really awk something that runs forever (at least I dont think)
[06:15] <BillyZane> lets talk in #ubuntu-touch so as to not anger anyone here
[06:16] <BillyZane> or not
[06:16] <BillyZane> lol
[06:16] <goddard> whats a good wifi dongle for ubuntu
[06:17] <somsip> aaas: run iostat in BASH script in a non-continuous mode? while true do iostat -xyz | awk 'stuff' done
[06:17] <goddard> ebay/amazon/newegg?
[06:17] <aaas> somsip yeah i guess...i was hoping that there was a command line way
[06:17] <BillyZane> by wifi dongle, are you referring to a USB wifi adaptor?
[06:17] <goddard> ya
[06:18] <somsip> aaas: could be, but I use iostat (and awk) when I have to. I don't have the knowledge you need.
[06:19] <aaas> somsip munin does...but they probably use a script too... i guess i have to be happy with ops/s or sectors/s

[06:30] <BlackWeb> Has anyone experience problems formatting Hard Drives Through Ubuntu 12.04
[06:30] <codezombie> question, I installed 12.04 server. A simple `df -h,` shows 15GB used, however a `du -shc /*` shows 1.3G used. This is a *fresh* minimal server install, with only openssh, and samba.
[06:30] <codezombie> Why would it show 15gb used?
[06:31] <codezombie> ah, should mention I'm using software raid1
[06:32] <Carlington> Hey, is anybody about? I have an issue with some broken packages that I could use a hand fixing.
[06:33] <BlackWeb> Everytime I try to format a HD them I'm receiving 2 Errors one is "ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir
[06:33] <BlackWeb> "
[06:33] <BlackWeb> I've banged my head into a wall for the last 2months, It works in ubuntu 12.04 SERVER, but not regular 12.04
[06:34] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: How are you trying to "format the HD"?
[06:35] <BlackWeb> First I create the Partition, -  parted -a optimal "DEVICE" mklabel "msdos&gpt" Then mkpart, quit mkfs.ext3 "Partition"
[06:35] <SwedMike> codezombie: pastebin df -h and let's take a look.
[06:35] <BlackWeb> it Fails during creating the filesystem
[06:35] <BlackWeb> doesnt matter which mklabel I use msdos or gpt
[06:36] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: Is this a removable drive?
[06:36] <codezombie> SwedeMike: https://gist.github.com/gitt/39027435cb8c2102946d
[06:36] <BlackWeb> No regular 2TB Internal WD HD;   mkfs.ext3 "DEVICE" fails about 1/2 way
[06:37] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: I wonder if the kernel's view of the partition size is not being properly updated after changing the partition table.
[06:37] <codezombie> SwedeMike: the 2 1TB drives are split to be ( 2x 4GB (8GB swap), 2x 927GB (root fs), and 2x 1mb (bios boot))
[06:37] <codezombie> formatted as ext4
[06:37] <BlackWeb> I've actually sent the Hard Drives back to WD for advance replacement, Only to have the new drive repeat the same scenario, Which I've tried gparted's GUI same issue
[06:38] <BlackWeb> is there a way to replace the kernel with a newer version through command line
[06:38] <Ben64> could be a bad cable
[06:38] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after mkfs fails?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: And the full output of all commands.
[06:39] <SwedeMike> codezombie: hm, I don't have an answer. 1.3G sounds more like a fresh install than 15GB. what filesystem was / again? ext4 all of them?
[06:39] <BlackWeb> But ya the weird thing is I bought 2 Brand new Machines Same SPECS, One has Server 12.04, & the Other Regular 12.04 Both supposely using the same version of kernel, But Server Side worked perfect
[06:39] <BlackWeb> Yea one sec
[06:39] <codezombie> SwedeMike: the root fs (/) is ext4
[06:40] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: That actually strengthens the bad cable theory. I thought it was two Ubuntu installations performing differently on the same hardware, not just the same model of hardware.
[06:40] <BlackWeb> I did a reboot on system would it be just in regular /var/log/dmesg
[06:40] <codezombie> SwedeMike: yeah, I'm no nix newbie, and this is the first I've had this issue. My other machines show correct usage.
[06:40] <SwedeMike> codezombie: do an ls -la / and see if there is some filename starting with . in / ?
[06:41] <codezombie> I thought maybe because I was using raid, but 15GB seems excessive.
[06:41] <SwedeMike> codezombie: yeah, I'm no newbie either and I'm kind of out of ideas as well.
[06:41] <codezombie> SwedeMike: nope, no hidden files in /
[06:41] <linda666> hi...i've created a pair key to ssh to my server, the pub key has been put under authorized_keys, but i cant login to the server, this is really silly but i cant figure it out whats the problem!
[06:41] <sabonis> hi, I am newbie
[06:41] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: Try swapping the drives (the ones you're running Ubuntu from) between the computers, to confirm that the difference is actually the Ubuntu installation rather than the hardware. I think you'll find with both versions of Ubuntu will work on one machine and fail on the other.
[06:42] <somsip> linda666: try ssh with -vvv for verbose output if the error is not clear
[06:43] <BlackWeb> Another thing is when the system boots then it sees the drive say as /dev/sdb; Then when I try to format it then it fails Reboots then sees the Drive as /dev/sdg
[06:44] <codezombie> I'm getting awful performance in samba as well... Though, I think that's just samba.
[06:44] <sabonis> how to show all directory's byte usage in my home directory in one command ?
[06:45] <Carlington> I have the synaptic error icon on my panel, and when I click it it tells me that the error message was "Error: BrokenCount > 0" and recommends running apt-get install -f
[06:45] <somsip> sabonis: du -h -b ./
[06:45] <somsip> sabonis: assuming your current directory is home...
[06:46] <Carlington> The output from apt-get install -f is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615745/
[06:46] <Carlington> And from here, I'm not sure what to do.
[06:47] <sabonis> thanks, somsip
[06:47] <sabonis> but..
[06:47] <Seveas> Carlington: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy libcairo2
[06:47] <BlackWeb> Jordan_U you still online
[06:48] <Jordan_U> BlackWeb: Yes.
[06:48] <sabonis> it recursively shows all dir including sub-dir.
[06:48] <Carlington> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615747/
[06:48] <BlackWeb> I found error logs in /var/log/syslog pertaining to that if you want me to msg you & show you
[06:48] <somsip> sabonis: so what did you really want it to do?

[06:51] <Carlington> Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615747/ (not sure if you noticed before, not trying to pester you if you did)
[06:52] <Seveas> Carlington: I didn't. Always prefix someone's nick when talking to them :)
[06:52] <Seveas> Carlington: and I see you enabled some shady 3rd party repo. That's most likely the explanation.
[06:53] <sabonis> ?
[06:53] <BlackWeb> Alright Thanks for the Help Jordan_U  & everyone :), lil frustrated but gonna try reinstalling OS or Even try loading Windows to see if it can Format it
[06:54] <somsip> sabonis: try this find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 du -h -b
[06:54] <Carlington> Seveas: Shady third party repo? The only new repo I've enabled lately was the repo for the Intel graphics driver installer.
[06:55] <Seveas> Carlington: yup, that one.
[06:55] <Carlington> Seveas: Alrighty. Fixing time! Should I also uninstall the intel installer package?
[06:55] <Seveas> Carlington: I'd uninstall/downgrade whatever came from there
[06:56] <Seveas> there's no reason for them to ship a cairo update for an installer, who knows what other crap is in there
[06:57] <Carlington> Okay, I've not removed a repo before. If I added the repo with "wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-KEY-ilg -O - | sudo apt-key add -"
[06:57] <Carlington> How do I remove?
[06:58] <Seveas> Carlington: it'll be somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/soures.list.d
[07:01] <Carlington> Seveas: Do I just delete the .list file from sources.list.d?
[07:02] <venenoverde> running openssh on ubuntu 12.04
[07:02] <Carlington> wait, no
[07:03] <dr_willis> !ppa-purge
[07:04] <Carlington> dr_willis: I can't install ppa-purge, because the broken libcairo packages are preventing me from installing any new packages.
[07:07] <jony> my text edited in libreoffice looks ok on the screen, but when it's printed some letters overlap each other, WHY? :(
[07:08] <Carlington> This is really quite frustrating.
[07:08] <dr_willis> just moveing the files out of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  should disable the ppa.. but wont revert whatever you insstalled from it
[07:09] <dr_willis> jony:  try printing to a pdf file and see if they are also messed up there.
[07:09] <sabonis> find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 du -h -b #this shows the same output
[07:09] <Carlington> dr_willis, If I already know which packages are causing the problem, is there a way to force them to downgrade without uninstalling them completely?
[07:10] <dr_willis> if the packages are broken - i dont think disaling the ppa will affect the broken state
[07:11] <Carlington> No, but how can I repair them? I will worry about disabling the ppa later, for now I just want to fix the broken packages, preferably without removing them.
[07:11] <dr_willis> a downgrade would be an uninstall then reinstall of a differnt version
[07:11] <dr_willis> so i dont get whats the big deal about removeing them
[07:12] <dr_willis> if you disable/purge the ppa - it SHOULD reinstall the versions from the repos - and remove the ppa versions
[07:12] <Carlington> Removing them is going to also remove a whole lot of other packages that depend on them, amongst them unity
[07:13] <dr_willis> apt can remove/install on the same command line i recall.
[07:13] <dr_willis> i forget the syntax howevver that might not remove the other packages..
[07:13] <jony> dr_willis, I tried already, the pdf's are printing correctly
[07:14] <dr_willis> jony:  what if you print the pdf?
[07:14] <sixseven> Hello, new to Ubuntu desktop. Playing music in Rythymbox now, functionally okay (especially folder watching to add new tracks). But I'd like player controls in the taskbar - can Rythymbox do this, or is there another good player I should be looking at?
[07:15] <dr_willis> sixseven:  i thought it had player controlls in the menus under the speaker icon
[07:15] <sixseven> dr_willis thanks just found them. Would prefer not to have to click there - dedicated buttons in the system tray would be great
[07:16] <sixseven> But that will do nicely for now
[07:16] <dr_willis> and have basically been removed because it makes for a cluttered interface
[07:16] <sixseven> Fair enough :)
[07:16] <jony> dr_willis, if I convert the file as PDF, it prints correctly
[07:16] <dr_willis> there might  be some indicator applets   for it.
[07:16] <Carlington> sixseven, there are also controls if you right-click the app icon for Rhythmbox on the launcher
[07:16] <dr_willis> gotta love quicklists in unity. ;)
[07:16] <sixseven> Cheers Carlington
[07:17] <sixseven> I thought I was going to hate on Unity, had a brief look just after release (in a VM) and didnt like it. Now I have it running on a decent dedicated PC, its pretty good.
[07:17] <Carlington> dr_willis, I think my main problem was that I had two conflicting versions of libcairo2 installed at once, somehow. I removed the worse version which has fixed the problem, but also uninstalled 20 other packages.
[07:17] <dr_willis> jony:  sounds like a printer driver issue.. but you may want to ask in the libreoffice channel
[07:20] <bighahiko> Hello! I would like to ask you a little help, I'm trying to set up an sms gateway "kannel", and I can not run my bearerbox, there are wandering port, I can not repaired, Please can you provide me solution

[07:28] <ErtanERBEK> My ubuntu 12.10 can't recognize my second monitor resolution correctly
[07:28] <dr_willis> lookd like port 13000 is allready in use.
[07:28] <ErtanERBEK> dr_willis, My ubuntu 12.10 can't recognize my second monitor resolution correctly
[07:29]  * ejv facepalms
[07:29] <dr_willis> ErtanERBEK:  and your card is a? and your monitors are connected how? and the drivers you are using are?
[07:29] <ejv> ErtanERBEK: we need *details*. what monitor is it? make/model? how is it connected? was it working previously at some point? what have you tried? what does your log say? pastebin your xorg.conf. what vid card do you have? etc.
[07:30] <ejv> dr_willis and I are brothers from a different mother.
[07:30] <dr_willis> yesterday guy had a similer issue.. it was his hdmi cable...
[07:30] <ErtanERBEK> dr_willis, this problem start last day
[07:31] <ErtanERBEK> so I just want how can I reset my screen resolation system from ubuntu
[07:31] <dr_willis> use the display/monitor tool in the system-settings area to set what res you  want
[07:32] <ErtanERBEK> this is not hardware problem I experince just few software problem because of that my hardware not important, I want reset display resolution system
[07:33] <ErtanERBEK> dr_willis, I cn use bigger than 1024*768 for my second monitor ( via VGA prot )
[07:33] <dr_willis> nvidia and ati/fglrx have their own alternatives to that tool...
[07:33] <ErtanERBEK> intel 4000
[07:33] <bighahiko> yes, but is there a port that can operate separately kannel 13000
[07:34] <ErtanERBEK> dr_willis, this system working correctly last morning and if I open my leptop with live cd then system working correctly
[07:34] <dr_willis> err.. a port can only be used by one application at a time.. if somthing else is using port 13000 then i would guess its  another instance of your kannel server..
[07:34] <ErtanERBEK> because of that I just want reinstall display manager but how ?
[07:34] <dr_willis> ErtanERBEK:  you use the system settings tool to set the resolution to use.
[07:35] <c2tarun> hi friends, is anyone using steam on ATI Mobility HD Radeon 5400 series graphic card?
[07:35] <ErtanERBEK> dr_willis, do you know how can I reinstall display manager or reset all xrandr configuration ?
[07:36] <dr_willis> ErtanERBEK:  i dont even know what you mean by 'display manager'
[07:36] <dr_willis> xrandr dosent save settings as far as i know either.
[07:36] <ErtanERBEK> whic demon recognize my monito feature ?
[07:38] <loquitus> Hi
[07:38] <bighahiko> Well, what is the solution that you can offer me
[07:39] <loquitus> I just installed 12.10. But I get a "crash" whenever I try to login on the GUI login. It shows a bunch of messages on the console and immediately puts me back on the login screen. Oddly, guest DOES work.
[07:39] <c2tarun> how can I check the version of graphic card driver installed on my machine?
[07:39] <dr_willis> loquitus:  this was a clean install? or an upgrade?
[07:40] <loquitus> dr_willis: clean. except for /home. I left /home from my previous install. Note that I did create a new user that was not in /home before, but logging in with that new user yields the same results.
[07:40] <loquitus> dr_willis: But like I said… guest works.
[07:40] <dr_willis> loquitus:  that points to a problem with yuour users settings files.
[07:40] <Ubuntu_user001> c2tarun:  try xvinfo
[07:40] <loquitus> dr_willis: can you elaborate please?
[07:40] <dr_willis> loquitus:  make some backup directory and move the various .config and .local  files to it...
[07:41] <sixseven> I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a laptop - all good. Installed xfce4 via apt-get to try xfce - worked great. Uninstalled - no prob. INstalled xubuntu-desktop via apt-get worked fine, then uninstalled using apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop and using unity fine, but no Ubuntu splash on startup and the shutdwon screen is xubuntus one (even though Im back on unity). Functionally nothings wrong, but can I fix this?
[07:41] <dr_willis> loquitus:  which will reset your old users settings back to defaults that should work
[07:41] <dr_willis> loquitus:  also check that your .Xauthority is not owned by root.
[07:41] <dr_willis> bbl. got a job.
[07:41] <c2tarun> Ubuntu_user001, it didn't tell me the version, see here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615808/
[07:42] <loquitus> dr_willis: these .config and .local files in my home/whoever directory?
[07:42] <c2tarun> Ubuntu_user001, actually I wan't to check that which version I have among this list: support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/previous/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[07:45] <dr_willis> loquitus:  the dirs are called .config and .local and it could be other app config files causing the issue also
[07:47] <loquitus> dr_willis: stupid question but these dirs are in my home directories, right? I just noticed, btw… that the files in /home/me are not owned by me… is it possible that since /home was kept behind, that somehow the ownership is all messed up with respect to the new user id numbers?
[07:47] <loquitus> dr_willis: when I even run nano, I get: Error reading /home/me/.nano_history: Permission denied
[07:48] <john_rambo> tor is running & working butVidalia says tor is not running
[07:49] <c2tarun> which is best option to install the driver? install from addition sources or download latest stable from ATI site and install?
[07:51] <helmut_> hi
[07:52] <ejv> loquitus: sure, it's possible
[07:56] <trycatch_> Hi
[07:57] <trycatch_> alguien ay?
[07:57] <loquitus> thank folks
[07:57] <loquitus> dr_willis: thanks. it was ownership. I chowned everything and it is fine
[07:58] <leansnort> hi folks
[07:59] <GentSir> This is about as exciting as a Linux convention
[07:59] <leansnort> does anyone know the name of the program that says "this isn't here, do you mean..." everytime I make a typo in the console?
[08:02] <jrib> leansnort: command-not-found
[08:03] <iceroot> is 195.x.x.x a public or lan address? i am not sure if i am facing with ufw or not
[08:03] <leansnort> I want to have it deinstalld but I don't know the name of the package...
[08:03] <iceroot> leansnort: command-not-found
[08:03] <jrib> leansnort: command-not-found
[08:04] <leansnort> ah, thank you a lot!
[08:07] <llutz> iceroot: 195.x.x.x. isn't a private ip-range
[08:07] <iceroot> llutz: thank you
[08:09] <Seveas> iceroot: <IP_ADDRESS>/8 <IP_ADDRESS>/16 and <IP_ADDRESS>/12 are rfc1918 private address ranges.
[08:10] <dr_willis> loquitus:  i always add the new user/initial user back using the exact name as the old install. ;) so i never have that issue
[08:10] <dr_willis> why would you want to uninstall the command-not-found tool. ;) its so handy
[08:11] <Seveas> dr_willis: it's f*ing annoying
[08:11] <dr_willis> phht! ;)
[08:11] <Seveas>  I recognize my typos better than it and it just slows me down. It's one of the first things I get rid of :)
[08:11] <dr_willis> i use it  to actually find package names...
[08:11] <dr_willis> !info sl
[08:12] <dr_willis> i wonder why that package is 114kb in size. :)
[08:12] <Myrtti> Seveas: tsk tsk
[08:12] <Seveas> Myrtti: sorry mom
[08:12] <Seveas> won't do it again :)
[08:13] <Myrtti> ♥
[08:13] <raven> mplayer playlist: i wrote a script that updates a single item playlist and opened mplayer with a endless loop to reload the playliyst but obviously its not updating - any idea whats going on there?
[08:13]  * dr_willis puts a 'fortune | cowsay' into the default .bashrc
[08:13] <zetheroo> does this mean cron is running? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615849/
[08:14] <Seveas> dr_willis: which cowsay > /dev/null && which fortune > /dev/null && { fortune -s | cowsay -n -f "$(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows | shuf -n 1)"; }
[08:14] <iceroot> zetheroo: yes
[08:14] <Seveas> that's actually in by .bashrc :)
[08:14] <iceroot> zetheroo: you should see it also in /var/log/syslog
[08:14] <Seveas> s/my/by
[08:14] <SKu77> asking a question
[08:14] <zetheroo> iceroot: so if cron is running why are my cron jobs not running?
[08:14] <Seveas> other way around... I need coffee
[08:14] <SKu77> would it be ok to ask a Q here?
[08:14] <Seveas> SKu77: ask away, we're here to help! :)
[08:15] <iceroot> zetheroo: because you did something wrong
[08:15] <paulcsiki> Good Morning
[08:15] <iceroot> zetheroo: can you paste your cronjobs?
[08:15] <SKu77> would it be ok to update my 10.04 ubuntu to the latest kernel let say 3.5 or 3.8?
[08:15] <Seveas> zetheroo: check /var/log/syslog for messages from cron
[08:15] <dr_willis> SKu77:  i imagine thats going to be a rather tough task.
[08:15] <paulcsiki> I need some help with a bash script, I don't know how to get the items from an array
[08:15] <Seveas> SKu77: why would you do that?
[08:15] <SKu77> what would be the highest kernel version i can update with out breaking applications
[08:15] <zetheroo>  iceroot: but at the appointed time (21:00) there is no entry in syslog at all
[08:16] <iceroot> zetheroo: can you paste your cronjobs?
[08:16] <paulcsiki> I'm doing this at the moment: "echo -n $(Days[$1])"
[08:16] <dr_willis> SKu77:  the highest in the repos for your release i belive.
[08:16] <zetheroo> iceroot: 0 21 *	* *	 /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana
[08:16] <SKu77> Im wondering if that would be possible
[08:16] <paulcsiki> I get that Days[3] is an invalid command
[08:16] <iceroot> zetheroo: is that file executable?
[08:16] <Seveas> SKu77: theoretically you can run any newer kernel. The days that the kernel/dbus api/abi broke all the freaking time is over. Though why would you if the older one is running fine?
[08:16] <iceroot> zetheroo: ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana
[08:17] <iceroot> zetheroo: that is part of "crontab -e"? or did you put it in /etc/cron.d/?
[08:17] <zetheroo> yes
[08:17] <zetheroo> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 164 Mar 13 15:17 /var/lib/libvirt/scripts/backup-rana
[08:17] <boydoy> hi! any one here using a OCSng Inventory?
[08:17] <SKu77> just being curious i guess
[08:17] <quick->  hi , Would you please tell me how to check if my microphone is working or not ? I tried using the sound recorder but it's not showing anything .Please  help
[08:17] <SKu77> maybe there are improvements if i upgrade
[08:17] <SKu77> i really do not know
[08:17] <llutz> paulcsiki: what command is your "Day"  or better; what do you want that echo -...   to do?
[08:17] <iceroot> quick-: have a look at "alsamixer" if the mic is muted. also check pavucontrol
[08:17] <SKu77> what can you suggest?
[08:17] <dr_willis> SKu77:  you may have better improbements by going to a newer release
[08:18] <GentSir> SKu77, why not just update to a newer release?
[08:18] <paulcsiki> llutz: Days is an array: "Days=( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday )"
[08:18] <SKu77> I am using backtrack 5 r3
[08:18] <SKu77> updated my kernel recently to 3.2.15
[08:18] <iceroot> !bt | SKu77
[08:18] <dr_willis> SKu77:  thats not really a disrto made for daily ussage..
[08:18] <zetheroo> iceroot: I found something in syslog.1
[08:18] <llutz> paulcsiki: ${Days[$1]}
[08:18] <iceroot> !backtrack | SKu77
[08:18] <lcabreza> im planning to setup a debian data center ? what you can recommend ? or first steps that i need to know.
[08:18] <SKu77> this is for my pentesting
[08:18] <Seveas> SKu77: curiosity is a good thing, go for it. Just remember to back up :)
[08:19] <paulcsiki> That's the same thing as I wrote: "echo -n $(Days[$1])"
[08:19] <dr_willis> for a testing system - i would think you would always want the latest release of  a disrto.
[08:19] <SKu77> yeah!
[08:19] <paulcsiki> I get invalid command...
[08:19] <SKu77> last night i updated with out backing up
[08:19] <SKu77> lolz
[08:19] <SKu77> but gladly it worked for me
[08:19] <Seveas> living on the edge, eh :)
[08:19] <SKu77> from 3.2.6 to 3.2.15
[08:19] <iceroot> paulcsiki: because the shell is trying to execute Days?
[08:19] <iceroot> paulcsiki: see also #bash
[08:19] <iceroot> SKu77: backtrack is not supported here
[08:20] <SKu77> Thank you for the answers
[08:20] <SKu77> i understand
[08:20] <SKu77> :)
[08:20] <SKu77> thanks alot  again

[08:20] <paulcsiki> iceroot: if it's syntax the problem, do you know what I did wrong?
[08:20] <iceroot> zetheroo: then cron is executing it
[08:20] <FloodBot1> SKu77: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <SKu77> very much appreciated
[08:20] <iceroot> paulcsiki: ask in #bash
[08:20] <paulcsiki> iceroot: will do
[08:20] <zetheroo> iceroot: yes, it's a darn mistake with the naming of the VM - sorry my bad
[08:20] <cute_bettong> im using ubuntu 12.10 with encryption, and i noticed that fstrim no longer works on my SSD "fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported" is the error i get, is this normal for encrypted drives?
[08:20] <iceroot> raven: there is no need for crossposting in #bash and #ubuntu
[08:21] <iceroot> zetheroo: no problem, you are welcome
[08:21] <iceroot> cute_bettong: encryption is softwarebased, not hardware based
[08:21] <llutz> paulcsiki:echo ${array[index]}          to get an element of an array
[08:21] <iceroot> cute_bettong: so i dont think its related to encryption
[08:21] <Seveas> lcabreza: I'd start with the foundation, then making sure you have diverse power feeds and various incoming internet pipes. Then emergency aggregators and diesel supply. From there on raised floors, airconditioning, sealed cold rows and nice 44u racks. Then a cabling contractor for fiber and utp. Oh and maybe order some switches, storage and server. It's all very offtopic here though :)
[08:22] <cute_bettong> iceroot, in 12.04 64bit TRIM worked just fine, is there something i need to do to my SSD to make it work in 12.10?
[08:22] <iceroot> cute_bettong: if i am correct TRIM is handled by the SSD itself or am i wrong?
[08:23] <n8w> i have got a strange problem...i keep experience periodic reboots at approx same time .... /var/log/*.log say nothin, entries always start after the reboot
[08:24] <iceroot> n8w: grep reboot /etc/cron.*
[08:24] <cute_bettong> iceroot, as far as i know you have to run TRIM manually in ubuntu with the "sudo fstrim /" command, thats as far as i know
[08:24] <iceroot> n8w: but before the reboot there should be an entry in /var/log/syslog
[08:25] <iceroot> cute_bettong: ah ok, maybe i thought trim is something different
[08:25] <llutz> cute_bettong: mount option" discard" to enable trim
[08:27] <llutz> !pm | cute_bettong
[08:27] <cute_bettong> >.<
[08:32] <cute_bettong> ok i did what you said to enable trim, but i still get the same error, is it becasue im using ubuntu 12.10's encryption feature? i can't figure out how to enable trim

[08:35] <Seveas> linda666: was it put in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server? :)
[08:35] <Seveas> linda666: and is neither .ssh nor .ssh/authorized_keys world-writable or group-writable?
[08:36] <Seveas> (those are the two most common mistakes)
[08:36] <llutz> linda666: do you use encrypted home on "host"?
[08:36] <Seveas> llutz: oh yeah, that's the third :)
[08:37] <llutz> just to complete the list :)
[08:37] <linda666> Seveas, yes and yes
[08:37] <linda666> llutz, no
[08:38] <llutz> linda666: the error you get is?
[08:38] <Seveas> linda666: can you still ssh with password? If so, check the sshd logs
[08:38] <levo> when i remove a package using sudo apt-get remove , the sources will be deleted too? (if i want to install the package again it should download it again?)
[08:38] <linda666> public key denied
[08:38] <linda666> ok let me try
[08:38] <iceroot> linda666: just use "ssh-copy-id user@host" that is the best method to avoind common mistakes
[08:40] <UbuntuGreen> Hi all. I am a beginner in Ubuntu an in all things linux. I need help installing libssl-dev.
[08:40] <beezy> levo, apt doesn't download source by default, it downloads binaries
[08:40] <h2o> anybody familiar with polkit?  I need to enable users administration for a thin client session.  Is the only action to change org.freedesktop.accounts.user-administration
[08:40] <iceroot> UbuntuGreen: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
[08:40] <beezy> levo, so yes
[08:41] <n8w> iceroot, sry for bein late...no there is nothin...thats the thing
[08:41] <iceroot> levo: sudo apt-get remove  will remove the binary files, NOT the cached deb-file and NOT the conffiles
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> @iceroot, I get a Reading package lists... Done
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> Building dependency tree
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> Reading state information... Done
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
[08:41] <iceroot> levo: if you reinstall the package it will NOT download it again
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[08:41] <UbuntuGreen> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[08:41] <FloodBot1> UbuntuGreen: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:42] <UbuntuGreen> @iceroot : I meant to say that I get a dependency error. I pasted the result
[08:42] <iceroot> UbuntuGreen: what is the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "cat /etc/issue"
[08:42] <iceroot> !paste | UbuntuGreen
[08:43] <quick-> iceroot: http://imagebin.org/250349
[08:43] <quick-> I m not able to figure out . Please help
[08:43] <iceroot> quick-: press F4, that should show your mic
[08:46] <quick-> iceroot:  http://imagebin.org/250350 . I guess its fine . Please look at its once.
[08:47] <iceroot> quick-: now have a look at pavucontrol
[08:47] <iceroot> quick-: alsamixer itself is looking fine, yes
[08:47] <UbuntuGreen> @ice root thanks for the tip. here is the result : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615904/
[08:48] <UbuntuGreen> @iceRoot and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l
[08:49] <iceroot> UbuntuGreen: looks fine
[08:50] <iceroot> UbuntuGreen: could you paste the complete output of "sudo apt-get install libssl-dev"
[08:50] <Ben64> iceroot: when you want to see sources, don't forget to cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[08:50] <iceroot> UbuntuGreen: you can use the TAB key for auto completion on nicks here for example, write ice and press TAB
[08:50] <iceroot> Ben64: normally /etc/apt/sources.list should include everything from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ because ppas are at the end in /etc/apt/sources.list  but yes you are right
[08:52] <Ben64> iceroot: not anymore, i think 12.04 started keeping sources.list cleaner
[08:54] <linda666> lluts, iceroot, seveas, here is the debug result. (i've changed some of the values). http://pastebin.com/u2cYuSBd
[08:55] <NMAXC> Aynone here have a few minbutes to explain to a toal idiot (well a Linux idiot) a few things ? I'd prefer (for now) to do it via "ugly M$ Skype
[08:56] <janisozaur> !ask | NMAXC
[08:56] <stupidBYdefault> is here also any chat room?
[08:56] <somsip> !ot | stupidBYdefault
[08:57] <NMAXC> How do I "regular email" someone if I have their IRC: logari81 @ freenode.net
[08:58] <stupidBYdefault> ok.. have 1 question..
[08:58] <stupidBYdefault> about firestarter - antivirus
[08:58] <UbuntuGreen> @IceRoot : here is what I get when I try (sudo apt-get install libssl-dev) : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5615913/
[08:58] <UbuntuGreen> What I need actually is to create an l2tp or sstp connection, or create a tor client. and they all begin with this command (like this one) that doesn't work. I am explaining this in case there is another way to do so.
[09:00] <ghigo> ciao
[09:00] <NMAXC> Also how can I reach the ubottu programmers  ?
[09:00] <ghigo> !list
[09:01] <llutz> linda666: what was the name of the key-pair you created?
[09:01] <janisozaur> NMAXC, what do you want from ubottu?
[09:01] <janisozaur> !ubottu | NMAXC
[09:02] <NMAXC> The IRC is way to geared for "computer litterates" I can make life easier for us "idiots"
[09:02] <quick-> iceroot:  http://imagebin.org/250351 this is the pavucontrol screen  for internal microphone. I am very new to this audio settings .
[09:06] <linda666> llutz, i changed the name... is that the problem?
[09:06] <linda666> it was id_rsa, but i changed it to something else
[09:06] <llutz> linda666: try "ssh -i path/to/yourkeyfile user@host"
[09:07] <llutz> linda666: that is the problem
[09:07] <52AAAPUHU>  Seveas: Thanks for that..i just don't know where to go. I just had an interview this morning and its big challenge in me since, i'll be designing it from scratch. It's big challenge that from WIndows to Linux Enviroment. Which is cool ..do you know any document or maybe some ideas.
[09:08] <llutz> linda666: if that works, use an entry "IdentityFile foo" in ~/.ssh/config    for your host
[09:08] <janisozaur> linda666, see 'man ssh_config' for how to set that file as default
[09:09] <llutz> linda666: ssh only probes some default keynames (see lines 65-68 of your pastebin), so you have to submit the keyname if it varies
[09:09] <antonio_> anyone here use kdenlive?  Trying to figure out how to just render a part of a project
[09:09] <linda666> llutz, path to pri? or pub? im getting confused..
[09:09] <llutz> linda666: pri
[09:09] <linda666> ok
[09:09] <52AAAPUHU> Seveas: did you get my message ?
[09:12] <linda666> llutz, solved!!
[09:12] <linda666> thanks alottttt;) !!!:)

[09:21] <zamba> how do i set ubuntu to automatically download security updates?
[09:21] <n8w> what exactly syslod --no-forward means?
[09:22] <Seveas> 52AAAPUHU: I got your message
[09:23] <Mokilok> Zamba: Open "Software Sources" and move to the updates tab. One of the drop downs determines when you install Security updates.
[09:23] <zamba> Mokilok: no GUI
[09:23] <Seveas> 52AAAPUHU: 'from scratch' can mean very different things. What are you starting from?
[09:23] <zamba> i'm a CLI guy
[09:24] <Mokilok> Sorry, didn't realise.
[09:24] <Seveas> 52AAAPUHU: btw, it's still offtopic here, join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to have a chat about datacenter design :)
[09:24] <zamba> but looks like unattended upgrades is what i need here

How can I reverse this command? sudo chmod 700 /media  I used it to be able to install an HP laserjet printer but now I dont have access  to my trucrypt files and I think it might be bc of this as this issue arose  after I installed the printer.

[09:57] <jackshannon> Ok, so I've just completely ruined my laptop trying to install LAMP server through tasksel, it uninstalled everything, can't get to anything, my windows 7 partition is still fine though
[09:57] <jackshannon> what can I do to do a complete reinstall of ubuntu?
[09:57] <jackshannon> the cd doesn't seem to boot properly
[09:57] <ikonia> jackshannon: put in the cd - install ubuntu
[09:57] <ikonia> jackshannon: how did you install it the first time
[09:57] <jackshannon> same cd, earlier on today
[09:57] <hamid1990> i have aproblem with tor using ubuntu 12.10 my tor is on in terminal and proxy is set in mozila but when i try it it says "The connection has timed out" ubottu
[09:57] <jackshannon> it just goes black
[09:58] <bekks> !patience | hamid1990
[09:58] <jackshannon> the cd drive seems to fire up then it just all dies and goes black
[09:58] <ikonia> jackshannon: ok so if it's not booting now - it's either a.) hardware problem b.) cd problem c.) you did something different last time
[09:58] <ikonia> hamid1990: ubottu is a bot - please stop asking random people
[09:58] <jackshannon> without the cd I can get to the bootloader
[09:58] <ikonia> jackshannon: ok so if it's not booting now - it's either a.) hardware problem b.) cd problem c.) you did something different last time
[09:59] <jackshannon> ok I'll try the cd again
[10:00] <jackshannon> ok ikonia i'm in the install menu
[10:00] <jackshannon> I just install like normal and it'll write over the rest
[10:00] <jackshannon> ?
[10:01] <hamid1990> i got useful answer from here bfore this place is amazing ubottu im sure i can get my answer here
[10:03] <gnuLix> bekks: yesterday, I ask you about ssh and pseudo terminal. It works now, but when type my command (for example "pwd") I receive an echo from my command  and the expected result. In this case I receive: pwd and /home/usr. Why I receive this echo?
[10:04] <bekks> gnuLix: I have no clue how that QT stuff works.

[10:15] <m1> hello, How to uninstall a library in linux
[10:16] <ejv> what library?
[10:23] <maxkollide> Hey, so... I just had a system crash that seems to have come from Xorg, where Xorg just up and froze. I managed to recover the system by SSH and resetting Xorg that way (control-alt-backspace wasn't working) but I was wondering if there's somewhere I could try to look for an error log or something?
[10:25] <adamk> maxkollide: The Xorg log file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If X restarted, the old one is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[10:25] <airos> hello everyone, is there a package on ubuntu to perform advanced log analysis like logsurfer+ or simple-evcorr?
[10:25] <maxkollide> adamk: Thanks! I'll check those out.
[10:29] <sevenforall> I'm about to attempt to fix GRUB after installing Windows 8, but I was wondering if there are any alternatives to GRUB.
[10:30] <maxkollide> sevenforall: I know of BURG,  https://code.google.com/p/burg/  -- But I've never used it, nor do I even know if it's very stable.
[10:31] <tortik> Can I get only URL from apt-get upgrade?
[10:32] <sevenforall> I was hoping there was something more "visual", something that lets you choose between Ubuntu and Windows using tiles or something. Not for my own system, but for my family's systems.
[10:33] <sevenforall> BURG seems to allow some sort of theming
[10:34] <sevenforall> It' s in fact exactly what I'm looking for
[10:34] <sevenforall> Hopefully it's stable, indeed
[10:34] <hamid1990> sorry i was disconected any answer to my problem? (tor problem)

[10:43] <UbuntuGreen> Trying to create a VPN connection, I only have the pptp option, I tried downloading sstp-client from sourceforge and l2tp Ipsec vpn tp make sure I have the necessary plugins, but no change in my network manager. Is there a package with all the different plugins needed for different vpn connections? or a Network manager already containing them instead of the one already installed on Ubuntu?

[10:46] <junctions> I just joined. I'm no expert but resend your problem, I might be able to help
[10:46] <jack3mbs> Oh hi Junctions, thank you for the response.
[10:47] <jack3mbs> Junctions, I have an Alienware d900t, I think i just solved my graphics issue (unsure) But I seem to be missing audio and wireless.
[10:47] <jack3mbs> Currently have network on it via ICS on another laptop.
[10:49] <junctions> is that the same as the MX7700?
[10:49] <UbuntuGreen> hamid1990 You're not using TorBrowser?
[10:49] <jack3mbs> Junctions, I believe it is the same.
[10:49]  * ^Zew^ knows that K00p is now known as k00pi3
[10:52] <^Zew^> is there a way to get desktop cub with gnome3?
[10:52] <junctions> jack3mbs, I've had similar problems with other hardware in the past, but as I said I'm no expert... and I couldn't find much online to help you... sorry and good luck
[10:52] <inashdeen_> hi there, I hope somebody could help me out.  I have built a .deb package for ubuntu. I want to sign it. I cant sign the usual way because there is no source for it. all are binary. any help would be much appreciated
[10:52] <^Zew^> cube
[10:53] <jack3mbs> Thanks junctions, yeah im searching my butt off right now, im like completely new to linux. XP refused to install (Wouldnt detect my harddrive) so I threw on ubuntu.
[10:54] <junctions> jack3mbs, although it would be odd that it didn't work when it did on previous versions (Dapper/Feisty) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Old/AlienwareMX7700
[10:55] <jack3mbs> junctions, do you somehow have a screen reader on me? I was JUST looking at that.
[10:55] <junctions> are you sure it's not a hardware issue?
[10:55] <junctions> hahaha
[10:56] <gnuLix> Is it possible to redirect the output of a command (for example "ls") ot a file. I tried "echo ls > file" but it appends the text "ls" and not the output of command "ls">
[10:56] <jack3mbs> junctions to be honest, I am not sure. I got this laptop without harddrives in it, stuffed one of my own in it. Surprised I got myself this far.
[10:57] <junctions> jack3mbs I would suggest testing it out with a live usb drive of something more... conservative, like debian
[10:58] <junctions> gnuLix are you trying to run that in a bash script?
[10:59] <gnuLix> I found my mistake. I don't need the "echo" part. Just "command > file"
[10:59] <jack3mbs> *frown* Junctions, oh man that might have to wait for another week. lol ive blown through my bandwidth this week downloading multiple versions of OSs as it is. lol fml
[11:00] <junctions> gnuLix right :), unless you're setting up a bash script to do a cron job or something like that
[11:00] <gnuLix> junctions: thanks :)
[11:00] <junctions> jack3mbs oh crap... bandwidth caps are the worst...
[11:01] <sevenforall> Hm, apparently my entire Ubuntu boot partition is gone
[11:01] <sevenforall> Do I just add it?
[11:01] <sevenforall> (Installed Windows 8, trying to recover ubuntu)
[11:01] <jack3mbs> jujunctions, however that page you linked me gave me a bunch of my info i needed :D thank you for that
[11:02] <James78> hey guys
[11:02] <James78> can i make windows the first one to boot as default on the bootloader after i install ubuntu ?
[11:02] <junctions> jack3mbs, hehe, no problem, and good luck getting it working! there might be some very lightweight linux distros out there, but probably not very supportive of old soundcards...
[11:03] <junctions> james78, yes, you only have to change the grub config file
[11:03] <gnuLix> junctions: and one more question. Is it possible to keep formatting after the command redirection because after "ls > file" I have every folder or file in a new line?
[11:03] <James78> whats that ?
[11:03] <James78> any tut ?
[11:03] <jack3mbs> junctions, maybe now that I got ubuntu installed from scrach, the xp install might pick up the harddrive again. n.n ubuntu is my backup.
[11:03] <bekks> !grub2 > James78
[11:03] <junctions> gnuLix do you mean to append to the new file? that would be:
[11:03] <junctions> ls >> file
[11:05] <n3gs> hi everyone
[11:05] <gnuLix> no, no to append. For example if you don't do redirection and type "ls" in the terminal you see the result in columns depending the width of your window. But if you redirect this command the result in the file will be every name of folder or file in a new line as a bunch of text.
[11:05] <Drenriza> Anyone who can help me out. I have configured 2 interfaces on a ubuntu 12.04 and i get a error when restarting the interfaces where it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists, failed to bring up eth1.
[11:06] <Drenriza> Is this a DNS error or what is it complaining about?
[11:06] <n3gs> hi everyone
[11:06] <bekks> Drenriza: It is an interface error, totally unrelated to DNS.
[11:07] <Drenriza> How do i resolve it?
[11:07] <inashdeen_> bump
[11:07] <junctions> gnuLix, ah, now I understand, but since there's no information on the "window size" when you pipe (>) to a file, it will always do one file per line. I don't know how to easily do it differently
[11:09] <krabador> i typed " echo 'blacklist snd_intel8x0' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist " trying to solve an audio problem
[11:09] <krabador> how can i come back?
[11:09] <gnuLix> junctions: ok, thanks
[11:09] <Drenriza> Anyone who can help me out?
[11:11] <junctions> krabador, from what I see you only appended that line to that file
[11:11] <mistertim> hey all, could anyone answer a quick question for me - I have a disk that's failed, and I'm trying to repartition it (there's no important data on there), however, gparted repports it having a size approximately 3x the actual physical size of the disk! recreating the partition table has no effect, however, even more strangely hdparm -I actually reports the correct size. Any idea what might be going on? Cheers.
[11:12] <krabador> junctions, ok, i can edit and only delete the line  and save, to solve?
[11:13] <inashdeen_> i there, I hope somebody could help me out.  I have built a .deb package for ubuntu. I want to sign it. I cant sign the usual way because there is no source for it. all are binary. any help would be much appreciated
[11:13] <junctions> krabador, there are some ways to do this in only elegantly, however, I'm not that much of an expert. so you can use vim:
[11:13] <junctions> sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[11:13] <junctions> once in vim press G to go to the last line and there press 'dd' (two times d)
[11:13] <junctions> then type ":wq" (without quotes)  and then return to write and quit
[11:13] <Hyperbyte> Can I easily make a Ubuntu LIVE USB stick from Ubuntu?
[11:13] <Hyperbyte> If so, how?
[11:13] <junctions> krabador, yes, edit, delete line, save.
[11:13] <Hyperbyte> (12.04)
[11:14] <TK-999> inashdeen_: Do you have a GPG key?
[11:14] <junctions> Hyperbyte, yes there's a program called startup disk creator, if you don't have it install it and it'll let you do that easily
[11:14] <dr_willis> Hyperbyte:  the usb-startup disk creator tool.. or dd  ;)
[11:14] <krabador> junctions, really thanx
[11:14] <Drenriza> Anyone who can help me out. I have configured 2 interfaces on a ubuntu 12.04 and i get a error when restarting the interfaces where it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists, failed to bring up eth1.
[11:15] <Drenriza> What is it complaining about?
[11:15] <TK-999> Hyperbite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick
[11:15] <inashdeen_> TK-999: i believe i do, but i can't remember it or how to obtain it. I have it when I sign the ubuntu pledge thing
[11:15] <Hyperbyte> TK-999, that's installing -from-... I need to install -to- an USB stick. :)
[11:15] <junctions> I'm having a bit of a hard time finding the right keywords to address my problem: I just created a new account on a server through ssh, and something is odd. Tab-complete, up-arrow and other things are not working, and instead of showing me the username and computer name in the prompt it only shows the dollar sign ($). But if I log in as any of the old users I do get this functionality.
[11:15] <Hyperbyte> dr_willis, junctions, thanks. :)
[11:15] <TK-999> inashdeen_: gpg --list-keys ?
[11:16] <inashdeen_> TK-999 : yes, I have two key, if I am not mistaken :)
[11:16] <dr_willis> junctions:  chech wht shell the user is using.. how did you make the new account? i bet you used useradd instead of adduser...
[11:17] <sevenforall> Hyperbyte: Installing to a USB stick is as simple as using another USB stick or a live CD and pick the stick as the HDD to install to :P
[11:17] <junctions> dr_willis: thanks! damn these dumb problems :P
[11:17] <dr_willis> junctions:  i doubt ifyou ever want to use 'useradd'   - i always use adduser
[11:17] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:17] <Hyperbyte> sevenforall, ah
[11:18] <TK-999> inashdeen_: you might be looking for http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dpkg-sig.1.html
[11:19] <inashdeen_> TK-999 : thanks, will look at it
[11:19] <TK-999> inashdeen_: hm, wait, I found another one
[11:19] <sevenforall> Is it possible for a portable Ubuntu installation (installed on a flash drive) to double as a live CD?
[11:20] <junctions> erm... dumb question: how do I remove an user?
[11:20] <TK-999> junctions: see man userdel
[11:20] <junctions> thanks
[11:20] <dr_willis> sevenforall:  you can set up grub2 to boot ISO files from the disk.. so yes.
[11:21] <krabador> i need help with CK804 ac97 integrated audio peripheral
[11:21] <sevenforall> dr_willis: I more or less mean that I can use my installation to install Ubuntu to other machines
[11:21] <krabador> it seems perfectly configurated, but no audio out
[11:21] <krabador> it's completely mute
[11:21] <dr_willis> sevenforall:  yes.. boot the iso via grub.. install
[11:22] <stephanmg> hey users. if i set my MANPATH in .bashrc to ~/local/share/man i cannot find manual for any other command, like man ls
[11:22] <sevenforall> dr_willis: Ah, like that. Aight.
[11:22] <sevenforall> dr_willis: It isn't possible to just install the installer to Ubuntu?
[11:22] <dr_willis> sevenforall:  no idea. i dubt if that will work
[11:23] <stephanmg> export MANPATH=/home/stephan/local/share/man:$(man -w)
[11:24] <stephanmg> but now i cannot use man ls for example :(
[11:27] <sevenforall> I have a partition with 1mb of unallocated space... Is there a way to (re)move this? :|
[11:28] <dr_willis> sevenforall:  leave it.
[11:28] <dr_willis> its to make sure the partions are ending on cylinder boundries i imagine
[11:28] <sevenforall> I guess. It's making me twitch, hehe
[11:28] <sevenforall> It's the first part of that partition though, I wonder if that doesn' t trouble booting it
[11:29] <dr_willis> No.
[11:29] <sevenforall> Alright
[11:29] <topol_> ololo
[11:29] <voen-zx> хуй вам
[11:29] <topol_> хуй тебе)
[11:30] <voen-zx> )
[11:31] <junctions> thanks again dr_willis, I'll get back to work now :)

[11:32] <topol_> facepalm
[11:32] <sitapati> thanks dr_willis !
[11:32]  * sevenforall hands everyone a beer
[11:32] <sevenforall> sitapati: You can also use this to rename files, btw ;)
[11:33] <sevenforall> iirc
[11:33] <dr_willis> time to look up and read a few bash beginner guides sitapati
[11:33] <sevenforall> Oh bloody why did I install 'sl'
[11:33] <sevenforall> Awkward typos all the time
[11:34] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:34] <dr_willis> alias sl=ls
[11:35] <sevenforall> dr_willis: Would be absolutely evil to do the opposite
[11:35] <dr_willis> alias ls=logout
[11:35] <dr_willis> ;P
[11:36] <sevenforall> dr_willis: If someone gets in here asking why a train rides  through his terminal every time he tries to ls, you'll know I tried struck.
[11:36] <sevenforall> *I struck
[11:37] <dr_willis> !info sl
[11:37] <dr_willis> grandson just saw me run sl...
[11:37] <dr_willis> now hes yelling do i again.,.
[11:37] <sevenforall> Did you have it installed?
[11:38] <dr_willis> i just installed it ;)
[11:38] <sevenforall> You can also do "sl -F", "sl -a" and "sl -l"
[11:38] <sevenforall> And you can combine them, of course :P
[11:38] <sevenforall> For more train animations!
[11:39] <sevenforall> Great way to introduce your grandson to a terminal
[11:40] <chrisr> What's the best way to change the gid of the main user on my ubuntu system?
[11:41] <gustav_> sevenforall: xD
[11:41] <sevenforall> gustav_: I guess someone else just found out about 'sl' here? :P
[11:41] <gustav_> sevenforall: Yeah. :D
[11:41] <dr_willis>  i mentioned it earlier today :)
[11:41] <sevenforall> Aight
[11:42] <sevenforall> It was the first thing someone showed me when I got into linux
[11:42] <gustav_> That's a nice introduction. :)
[11:42] <dr_willis> !info bb
[11:42] <dr_willis> try that one. ;)
[11:42] <sevenforall> I will, let me reboot and see if I fixed the boot
[11:43] <sevenforall> I am so going to hate that blue Windows flag if it shows up again
[11:43] <krabador> hi people, i've http://paste.ubuntu.com/5616282/ that sound card, the only present on the system that's completely mute
[11:44] <krabador> can you help me to let me use it?
[11:44] <sevenforall> krabador: Perhaps a bit of a sloppy question, but did you rule out all possible hardware malfunctions?
[11:45] <krabador> yes it seems i'm not the only
[11:45] <sevenforall> I'll get to it as soon as I've fixed my own system
[11:45] <sevenforall> Just a sec
[11:46] <gustav_> dr_willis: I'm sorry but the train just has more of it's own style. :)
[11:49] <Drenriza> Is their a channel for ubuntu network issues?
[11:50] <dr_willis> gustav_:  dont make me track down that ascii art  movie site. ;P
[11:50] <ikonia> Dartellum: just ask
[11:51] <gustav_> dr_willis: :O
[11:51] <Drenriza> ikon i have tried but here goes again: I have configured 2 interfaces on a ubuntu 12.04 and i get a error when restarting the interfaces where it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists, failed to bring up eth1. What is it complaining about?
[11:51] <Drenriza> ikonia
[11:52] <ikonia> Drenriza: 1.) how have you configured them 2.) how are you stopping/starting them
[11:53] <Drenriza> ikon http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2125853&p=12558527#post12558527 (see code example). I restart it through init.d /etc/init.d/networking restart with sudo infront.
[11:53] <sevenforall> So GRUB only shows Windows 8... Great. I guess it's time to just reinstall Ubuntu as a whole
[11:54] <ikonia> Drenriza: I'm not reading a forum post - if you've posted all the details on the forum, the forum can fix it
[11:54] <Drenriza> I posted it their because nobody responded here.  Well, why not
[11:57] <ikonia> sevenforall: backend ?
[11:58] <ikonia> it's a boot loader
[11:58] <ikonia> there is no "back end"
[11:58] <PrincessLuna> How can you right click using a touchscreen?
[11:58] <mika-> dumb question... my dual booting machine - the windows partition - it's only 30 gigs. can i somehow turn that into a virtualbox machine?
[11:58] <sevenforall> PrincessLuna: Usually it's holding your ginger on the screen
[11:58] <sevenforall> *finger
[11:59] <ikonia> mika-: you can point most virtualization software at a disk partition rather than an image file and boot it
[11:59] <sevenforall> ikonia: I refered to everything you're not seeing; the essential part that actually loads the OS
[11:59] <PrincessLuna> sevenforall: That works in Windows 8 but not in Ubuntu
[11:59] <mika-> thanks ikonia i'll try it out.
[11:59] <sevenforall> PrincessLuna: I'm lost then; pity that doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu. I personally never used Ubuntu i.c.w. touchscreens
[12:00] <sevenforall> ikonia: Meaning that I could just boot my Windows 8 partition from within Ubuntu using, say, Virtualbox?
[12:00] <ikonia> sevenforall: not %100 sure on windows 8...but it's certainly worth a try
[12:00] <bekks> sevenforall: That will cause windows related problems, most likely.
[12:00] <ikonia> sevenforall: certainly earlier windows versions, yes
[12:01] <PrincessLuna> sevenforall: I'm pretty sure the multitouch is working but applications aren't designed for it. The only thing that worked with a multi-touch gesture was re-sizing and rotating widgets in KDE.
[12:01] <sevenforall> Well, it's about the idea of doing something along those lines. Thanks
[12:01] <bekks> ikonia: sevenforall: Versions up to and including XP. Later version do not have hardware management profiles anymore.
[12:01] <ikonia> bekks: sorry what ?
[12:01] <sevenforall> bekks: Any idea why not?
[12:02] <ikonia> bekks: I'm booting Vista/Windows 7 machines direct from partitions in KVM now
[12:02] <ikonia> no issues at all
[12:02] <bekks> ikonia: Yes, that possible. But still, Windows 7 does not have "hardware profiles" anymore, as known until XP.
[12:02] <serpenthelm> an FYI, Precise comes with version 1.0.1 of Vagrant
[12:02] <ikonia> bekks: I didn't say anything about hardware profiles, so I'm not sure why you are referencing them ?
[12:02] <serpenthelm> its up to 1.1 now
[12:03] <ikonia> bekks: sorry if I'm missing part of the conversation
[12:03] <serpenthelm> incase someone complains
[12:03] <ikonia> sevenforall: no-one is complaining
[12:03] <olivier___> Hi there, I have a new asus laptop (G75VX with nvidia 670mX) and I can't load nvidia driver, liveCD don't work as well
[12:03] <serpenthelm> i did last night
[12:03] <ikonia> sevenforall oops not you
[12:03] <ikonia> serpenthelm: no-one is complaining
[12:03] <bekks> ikonia: I know that you didnt say that, I was just pointing out, that it might lead to problems.
[12:03] <ikonia> serpenthelm: and the upstream package has no relevence to the ubuntu package
[12:03] <serpenthelm> seems ubuntu has certain programs that are not pushed to upgrade yet
[12:03] <olivier___> what can I do to have it working ?
[12:03] <ikonia> serpenthelm: they don't get upgraded post release.
[12:03] <krabador> please, help me with that http://paste.ubuntu.com/5616313/ it's mute
[12:04] <sevenforall> ikonia: No problem. I was a bit confused though, read through my messages to figure out what no one would be complaining about :P
[12:04] <Kajover> how can i enable the fn keys by default, without having to press fn and the appropriate F-key each time when i want to change the volume e.g.
[12:04] <serpenthelm> well post release is fine, but doing an apt-get update doesnt find them, seems lacking
[12:04] <gustav_> https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/601529_505017836229064_2044779775_n.jpg <- This is this channel.
[12:04] <ikonia> serpenthelm: doesn't find what ?
[12:04] <serpenthelm> updates for virtual box and vagrant specifically, but likely more
[12:05] <sevenforall> And with that, gustav left the room
[12:05] <ikonia> serpenthelm: updates to the package versions do not happen post release.
[12:05] <serpenthelm> firefox does all the time
[12:05] <ikonia> serpenthelm: no, it doesn't
[12:05] <ikonia> serpenthelm: although the browser is a slightly unique case
[12:05] <serpenthelm> I'm thinkng this is needlsy confusing
[12:06] <ikonia> serpenthelm: it's not confusing at at all
[12:06] <ikonia> serpenthelm: the version ubuntu ships a package with, will stay the same through out the ubuntu distros release life cycle
[12:06] <serpenthelm> tell that to th epeople leaving ba reviews on ubuntu software center wanting the new version to be pushed |3
[12:06] <ikonia> serpenthelm: eg: if ubuntu ships with 1.0 - 1.0 will be the base package
[12:06] <serpenthelm> bad*
[12:06] <ikonia> serpenthelm: not really interested in people leaving bad reviews, it means nothing
[12:06] <ikonia> serpenthelm: just explaining that you will not get an update
[12:07] <Guest87752> hello folks- would this be a good place to ask about nfs?
[12:07] <ikonia> Guest87752: if you're using ubuntu sure
[12:07] <serpenthelm> i'm thinking th emechanism is not well explained
[12:07] <serpenthelm> i dont need it on th einstall disk, just the repos
[12:08] <ikonia> serpenthelm: you won't get it in the repos
[12:08] <ikonia> serpenthelm: sorry - am I not being clear
[12:08] <ikonia> serpenthelm: the base version of a package that ubuntu ships with will not be updated
[12:08] <Kajover> got it.. bios settings^^
[12:08] <Guest87752> well at the moment i am using a ubuntu 12.04 desktop as an nfs server and a lubuntu netbook that i'm trying to connect the share on
[12:09] <Guest87752> but i keep getting permission errors
[12:09] <sevenforall> I always forget why I don't like Ubuntu 12.10, decide to just install it, then I remember why I didn't like it, and I end up installing 12.04 again
[12:09] <sevenforall> Now I'm at the point of installing 12.10 again
[12:09] <serpenthelm> eh wait til 13.04
[12:09] <ikonia> Guest87752: make sure your UID's match on the client/server to make it easy
[12:10] <ikonia> serpenthelm: correct, that package version will not get update
[12:11] <Guest87752> the uids appear to match
[12:13] <ikonia> Guest87752: are you sure ?
[12:13] <ikonia> Guest87752: when you mount the file systems and do an "ls -la" on them do they match up to your users
[12:14] <Guest87752> well the problem at the moment is that while attempting to mount the remote share, i get permission denied
[12:14] <ikonia> Guest87752: ok, so it's share permissions rather than file system permisions
[12:14] <Guest87752> an id -u of the user returns the value "1000" on each machine
[12:14] <ikonia> Guest87752: what is your share permissions set to
[12:16] <Guest87752> i may have the syntax wrong in my exports file- from the guide i read, it reads "/media/HPSimpleSave/Movies	 host(ro,sync,no_root_squash)"
[12:16] <Guest87752> now where it has "host", is that the server or the client that goes there?
[12:17] <ikonia> Guest87752: that should be the client
[12:18] <olivier___> does someone get an asus G75VX (G75VX-T4049H) working on ubuntu ?
[12:18] <olivier___> I mean that it works but the video driver can't be loaded
[12:19] <Guest87752> ok, that's what i have at the moment- perhaps my mount syntax is incorrect
[12:19] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___:did you already download the latest drivers ?
[12:19] <sevenforall> Ubuntu used to be known for its lack of viruses, but I was wondering how things are now. Is it still not necessary to use some sort of protection against threats like that?
[12:20] <Guest87752> i've tried mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 server:/HPSimpleSave/Movies /media/movies
[12:20] <olivier___> I did a apt-get install nvidia-current
[12:20] <olivier___> but liveCD fail to load X too
[12:20] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___:try going to add drivers system menu
[12:20] <TK-999> sevenforall: strong passwords, firewall, system updates, NoScript
[12:20] <52AAAPUHU> or maybe do a apt-get install fglrx
[12:21] <TK-999> Perhaps migrate from Bash to another shell so as to neutralize some Bash trojans
[12:21] <olivier___> ok testing fglrx
[12:21] <sevenforall> TK-999: But are these in a way necessary, or just to eliminate nearly all possibilities?
[12:22] <ikonia> moving from bash is nonsense
[12:22] <TK-999> NoScript is good to have, because web-based threats (session hijacking etc.) are universal, and it can also protect against malicious dropdowns.
[12:23] <bekks> olivier___: Which graphics adapter do you have? nvidia, ati, intel or something else?
[12:23] <olivier___> nvidia gtx 670MX
[12:23] <sevenforall> TK-999: Is there a Chromium alternative for that?
[12:23] <bekks> olivier___: Then fglrx will not work.
[12:23] <TK-999> sevenforall: I think it's called ScriptNot
[12:23] <olivier___> well nothing seems to work :(
[12:24] <olivier___> I don't need 3D acceleration
[12:24] <sevenforall> Aight
[12:24] <olivier___> just X working
[12:24] <bekks> olivier___: fglrx is for a totally different make and model.
[12:24] <TK-999> Strong passwords (http://go.eset.com/us/resources/white-papers/EsetWP-KeepingSecrets20090814.pdf) are a must
[12:24] <Guest87752> ah well, playing with network shares is a bit beyond me at this hour- thanks for your help ikonia
[12:25] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___: when you do startx ? what error do you get ?
[12:25] <TK-999> To sum up, everything in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity
[12:25] <olivier___> 52AAAPUHU: can't load module nvidia-current
[12:25] <olivier___> or something like that
[12:26] <52AAAPUHU> apt-get remove nvidia-current
[12:26] <olivier___> no, now I have can't load FGLRX module …
[12:26] <52AAAPUHU> remove it also ..
[12:28] <olivier___> and now : no screens found
[12:30] <olivier___> trying experimental-310 driver …
[12:30] <olivier___> there is no generic driver to get basic 2D ?
[12:30] <inashdeen> hi there, I am building a package for ubuntu. I have signed for gpg keys. now, when i run debuil -s, it says it cannot find my gpg key, what should i do?
[12:32] <52AAAPUHU> olivier___: it should be installed by default ...
