[10:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> zetheroo: its not always an obvious question. I personally know of no less than 4 ways to install ubuntu
[10:19] <cristian_ginestr> ciao c'è qualkuno?
[10:19] <rico129> I just switched over from windows xp. everything looks amazing to me.
[10:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> !fr | cristian_ginestr
[10:20] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, /var/log is there, but there's no /var/log/lvm
[10:20] <rajeev> Can somebody help me into getting connected to wifi ? I have installed ubuntu & cant find 'Enable Wireless' to be checked condition
[10:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> rico129: windows xp, the last good windows in my opine.
[10:20] <vjacob> note that I'm overriding the normal startup process using "init=/bin/bash"
[10:20] <zetheroo> ntzrmtthihu777: well I am doing nothing out of the ordinary ... just a simple install with Raid1 ... and as I said this install worked without issue on an identical server using the same CD and the same steps
[10:20] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: strange i dont have it either
[10:21] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: in a normal run level i dont have that folder either - but anyway no worries
[10:21] <vjacob> right now I'm just glad I'm back in... thought everything was lost for second
[10:22] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: maybe make that directory and try 'update-grub' again ;>
[10:22] <vjacob> but how to get boot working normally again
[10:22] <SolarisBoy> couldn't hurt -
[10:22] <vjacob> ah it's /var/lock/lvm. sorry for the typo. do you have that?
[10:22] <zetheroo> so how do I fix this in Grub Rescue ... ?
[10:22] <vjacob> /var/lock -> /run/lock here
[10:22] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: what type of raid1? hw?
[10:23] <rico129> ntzrmtthihu777: i like xp, but it's time to move one!
[10:23] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: i knew that sounded weird... /var/log/lvm?
[10:23] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: software
[10:23] <vjacob> /var/lock/lvm
[10:23] <vjacob> there's no mention of /var/log/lvm at all
[10:23] <selena2013> ubuntu forever
[10:23] <vjacob> and there's no /run/lock
[10:24] <rico129> wow.. pushing 90 minutes trying to install this little weather extension. I should just reformat..
[10:24] <vjacob> so that's why there's no /run/lock/lvm I guess
[10:25] <JoFo> Hello
[10:25] <vjacob> adding '/run/lock/' and then '/run/lock/lvm' seems to allow update-grub to finish
[10:25] <rico129> hello JoFo
[10:25] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, thanks!
[10:25] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: /run is generally a tmpfs by the way =)
[10:26] <vjacob> what's the proper way to unmount everything cleanly at this point?
[10:26] <vjacob> reboot/hutdown don't seem to be allowed
[10:26] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: maybe it didn't get enabled due to your single user mode'ness - however you could have simply mounted it all the same and it should just appear and worked as well - but in that case of the latter its the proper way to do it
[10:26] <belgianguy> dr_willis SolarisBoy: so far, so good, uninstall --force was needed, but I still have a GUI :)
[10:26] <vjacob> ah
[10:27] <SolarisBoy> belgianguy: nice work
[10:27] <zetheroo> anyone with experience in grub rescue ?
[10:28] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: for your reference : 'mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /run/lock'
[10:28] <vjacob> zetheroo, wassup?
[10:28] <zetheroo> I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 server onto one of our servers for the third time in a row and each time after successful install, on the first reboot, I end up at "error: no such disk"  and  "grub rescue"
[10:28] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: or you can limit the size with -o size=<N>m - where m is a number of megabytes
[10:29] <SolarisBoy> *N =(
[10:29] <belgianguy> zetheroo: boot loader problem?
[10:29] <SolarisBoy> sounds like a can't find disk problem
[10:29] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, did that instead
[10:29] <zetheroo> belgianguy: I guess ... but I need help with Grub Rescue console
[10:30] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: sweet
[10:30] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, so how do I unmount my partitions as cleanly as possible?
[10:30] <vjacob> # umount ?
[10:30] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: why?
[10:30] <rajeev> Anybody can help with wifi driver install here ?
[10:30] <vjacob> to reboot  :)
[10:30] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: yes by the way - technically you shouldn't need to do that typing reboot does all that
[10:30] <vjacob> with one of the other kernels hopefully
[10:30] <vjacob> I get 'shutdown: Unable to shutdown system'
[10:31] <SolarisBoy> shutdown isn't sufficient
[10:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> sudo shutdown, right?
[10:31] <vjacob> well I'm root already
[10:31] <ert3go> Hello, I am on ubuntu 12.04 and I want to install  libhighgui2.1 libcvaux2.1 libcv2.1 . When I do apt-get , i get "Couldn't find any package by regex 'libhighgui2.1'
[10:31] <ert3go> "
[10:31] <ert3go> How do I install them?
[10:31] <SolarisBoy> try 'shutdown -r now'
[10:31] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, same error
[10:32] <SolarisBoy> one sec...
[10:32] <sgo11> vjacob, 'sudo shutdown -h now' ?
[10:32] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: init 6
[10:32] <A_J> I require a little help in netwroking. I installed samba on my ubuntu pc and set a drive to share. this is what error i get when i try to access it on windows http://puu.sh/2gn0S
[10:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> oh yeah, forgot about the -h now
[10:33] <SolarisBoy> halt works and reboot doesn't?
[10:33] <SolarisBoy> weirdness
[10:34] <zamba> i want to set up a local file system over ftp.. what can i use for that?
[10:34] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I just unmounted and hit ctrl+alt+del eventually. someone suggested as an alternative (next time): to remount,rw
[10:34] <A_J> I require a little help in netwroking. I installed samba on my ubuntu pc and set a drive to share. this is what error i get when i try to access it on windows http://puu.sh/2gn0S
[10:34] <zamba> kind of like for sshfs
[10:34] <vjacob> sorry remount,ro
[10:34] <dr_willis> zamba:  theres fuse ftp tools for that..
[10:34] <zamba> dr_willis: yeah.. but that?
[10:34] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: oh you said you wanted to reboot - not remount
[10:34] <dr_willis> zamba:  search the repos.. i donmt use ftp any more..
[10:34] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: mount -o remount,rw /
[10:34] <TheGrey> o/ how can I find out what driver I need from the repos? I have a Thinkpad T20 with a NVS 4200 Quadro card
[10:34] <dr_willis> ftpfuse perhaps.. fuseftp
[10:34] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I did...but weirdly... I rebootedand the kernels that update-grub still don't show in the grub boot menu
[10:35] <dr_willis> i recall ther ebeing several
[10:35] <zetheroo> so nobody has any experience with grub rescue!?
[10:35] <vjacob> even though they were listed as being added running update-grub
[10:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> zetheroo: what are you trying to fix
[10:35] <vjacob> zetheroo, that error doesn't seem to ring any bells
[10:35] <zetheroo> ntzrmtthihu777: dude ... I have spelled out the issue more than once now ... :P
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: when you break into a grub shell let me know
[10:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> zetheroo: but I have been doing other things, refresh me.
[10:36] <rajeev> zetheroo: Do you have any other operating system along side it ?
[10:36] <oskar-> zetheroo:  you can take a look at a grub configuration and try to put in the statements line by line. after loading some modules, you may be able to use tab completion. i suggest to look for the device.map or try grub-legacy.
[10:36] <user-01> hye
[10:36] <vjacob> zetheroo, what wa the last grub command or configuration change you performed?
[10:36] <zetheroo> ntzrmtthihu777: simple install with Raid1 -- install goes peachy ... then "error: no such disk" and I am at Grub Rescue prompt
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: when your there - try to ls hd0 and use tabbing - cycle through the partitions and find your boot folder after with the tab completion
[10:37] <ert3go> can I get any help installing openCV2.1 in ubuntu?
[10:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> hmm.
[10:37] <SolarisBoy> when you find it the right partition with /boot on it - change your grub to point to that drive
[10:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> zetheroo: no experience there
[10:37] <zetheroo> ok I found this ... might give it a try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319581
[10:37] <SolarisBoy> oh - what i just said?
[10:37] <SolarisBoy> cool
[10:38] <higson> anybody here who can help me with USB, automount, /media/$LUSER changes in 12.10 ?
[10:38] <ert3go> Is downloading and extracting this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/opencv/2.1.0-7build1 tar.gz package the proper way
[10:38] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: when I do ls the first device is md0
[10:38] <belgianguy> anyone know if Ubuntu's gfx drivers are updated in its lifetime?
[10:38] <SolarisBoy> thtas because your using soft raid - thats expected id assume
[10:38] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: ^
[10:38] <belgianguy> or does that only happen when installing/upgrading?
[10:39] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: yeah ... so I am looking for a drive with a path to /boot .. correct?
[10:39] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, no errors now running # update-grub
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: thats correct
[10:39] <zetheroo> ok will check
[10:39] <vjacob> but the supposedly added kernels still don't show upon boot
[10:39] <vjacob> any ideas why that might be?
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: further your looking for your kernel and initramfs under there - you can use tab completion by the way
[10:39] <Darft> Fisk
[10:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> I'm out, later all.
[10:39] <vjacob> I've got 3.2.0-38-generic, 3.2.0-37-generic being added in addition to 3.2.37 but only 3.2.37 shows
[10:40] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: that is strange
[10:40] <vjacob> indeed.
[10:40] <rico129> All I had to do was restart my shell... wow.
[10:40] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: ok try this - are those files actually in /boot?
[10:40] <vjacob> they are
[10:40] <SolarisBoy> hrmm stranger
[10:41] <vjacob> well not so strange since update-grub is finding them
[10:41] <vjacob> and probably working somewhat
[10:41] <vjacob> what's stranger is that they aren't showing upon boot
[10:41] <vjacob> at least update-grub gives no errors
[10:41] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: are you confirming the grub file is actually changing pre-reboot?
[10:41] <vjacob> how?
[10:41] <TakeItEZ> vjacob: does "grep menuent /boot/grub/grub.cfg" list those extra kernels?
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> correct ^^ vjacob
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> check that file
[10:42] <vjacob> I get this: "The program 'grub' is currently not installed."
[10:42] <vjacob> heh
[10:42] <vjacob> wtf.
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> buahaha
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> but wait?
[10:42] <ert3go> Is downloading and extracting this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/opencv/2.1.0-7build1 tar.gz package the proper way to install openCV2.1 on ubuntu?
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> why would you get that?
[10:42] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: grep not grub
[10:42] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I don't know. It says grub 1.99 when booting
[10:43] <vjacob> aha
[10:43] <vjacob> :)
[10:43] <SolarisBoy> lol
[10:43]  * vjacob needs my glasses
[10:43] <SolarisBoy> hehehe
[10:43] <vjacob> ok, get this... doing the grep (I have  used this command occasionally :)
[10:43] <vjacob> I get all the kernels I think
[10:44] <vjacob> 8 lines, including the two kernels I wanted added before
[10:44] <SolarisBoy> hrmmm ok ok ok how about this - do you have ALOT of kernels - to the point that you may need to scroll down to see them all at boot?
[10:44] <SolarisBoy> because i hope this isn't the issue..
[10:44] <vjacob> no, there are only 4 lines upon boot
[10:44] <TakeItEZ> vjacob: but those aren't shown in the boot-menu? i'd rewrite grub into mbr
[10:44] <vjacob> including 2 memtest
[10:44] <Fuzzles> how do i use the open source drivers?
[10:44] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, indeed...
[10:44] <Gyro54> is there a simple way to install a Sierra 320u 4g modem on Lubuntu 12.04?
[10:44] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, how?
[10:45] <SolarisBoy> grub-install probably
[10:45] <rico129> SolarisBoy: do you use Evolution for email?
[10:45] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  run the proper jockey-gtk or jockey-text tool and hopefully it can download any needed drivers
[10:45] <TakeItEZ> vjacob:sudo grub-install /dev/sda                   check man-page
[10:45] <Guest89472> hello folks, i have a question about usb modems and minicom in ubuntu 12.04...not sure if this is the right place to be asking though
[10:45] <SolarisBoy> rico129: no i use alpine
[10:46] <vjacob> is there any danger in doing both grub-isntall /dev/sda1 as well as grub-install /dev/sda ?
[10:46] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: one is not needed if you do the other
[10:46] <vjacob> aye
[10:46] <SolarisBoy> you really should be installing to the disk
[10:46] <Gyro54> dr_willis: What is jockey-gtk
[10:46] <vjacob> gotit. thanks a bunch TakeItEZ + SolarisBoy . *crosses fingers*
[10:46] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  the addational drivers helper tool
[10:46] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: np yw!
[10:46] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  look for addational drivers  in the menus
[10:47] <Gyro54> dr_willis: Thanks
[10:47] <Fuzzles> how do i remove additional drivers thats installed and go to the open source srivers
[10:48] <SolarisBoy> Fuzzles: turn them off in the additional driver applet
[10:48] <Fuzzles> SolarisBoy, will that remove the driver, how d i install the open source driver
[10:49] <SolarisBoy> Fuzzles: the open source driver should be there and set to your fall back once removed @noveau
[10:49] <Fuzzles> SolarisBoy, ok thanks
[10:49] <SolarisBoy> Fuzzles: it deactivates the driver - not sure how it handles removal it deactivates and activates noveau
[10:50] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, :( the grub boot list is the same as before
[10:50]  * SolarisBoy always spells that wrong and knows it
[10:50] <vjacob> I wonder if it's because it's installed to /dev/sda1
[10:50] <vjacob> trying again doing it to that instead of /dev/sda
[10:50] <TakeItEZ> vjacob:sudo grub-install /dev/sda       MBR, not into a partitions
[10:50] <TakeItEZ> partition*
[10:50] <SolarisBoy> right
[10:50] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, I did that before
[10:50] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, no change.
[10:50] <Novus> good loard,.. never using this system ever again
[10:50] <Fuzzles> SolarisBoy, ill see what happens tring to get games working such as tf2
[10:50] <Novus> everytime
[10:51] <vjacob> Novus, what's going on?
[10:53] <Novus> everyfucking time I try ubuntu since 9.10 nothign but problems! What's going on? It seems canonical is more concerned about making fuckign cell phones then a decent OS that actually works when you install the fuckign thing!  LVM I am guessing
[10:54] <vjacob> grub-etup warns about a partitionless disk
[10:54] <vjacob> hmm. out of ideas.
[10:54] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: ok I finally found /boot/grub on 'md/0,gpt1' ....
[10:54] <vjacob> # grub-install /dev/sda
[10:55] <vjacob> "Installation finished. No error reported."
[10:55] <dr_willis> Novus:  so do you hae an actual support question?
[10:55] <dr_willis> ;P
[10:55] <vjacob> why then aren't there other kernels showing upon boot?!
[10:55] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: now check your grub.cfg and see if thats actually the root which is set.
[10:55] <vjacob> maybe I should do that too
[10:55] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: is there a way I can boot from that device?
[10:55] <SolarisBoy> sure
[10:56] <vjacob> the menu entries are in grub.cfg
[10:56] <zetheroo> because it may be easier to fix stuff once in Ubuntu itself ... no!?
[10:56] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: besides how does one check a config file in the Grub rescue area!?
[10:56] <vjacob> I feel like moving out the 3.2.37 from /boot but it seems risky.
[10:57] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: type root=(md0,gpt1)
[10:57] <vjacob> and here I was... just wanting to use a new wireless USB NIC.
[10:57] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: I already did "set root=(md0,gpt1)"
[10:57]  * vjacob gets off soap box
[10:58] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: then do a 'kernel /boot/kernelfilename options' and then a initrd '/boot/initramfilename' and thena  'boot'
[10:59] <dr_willis> vjacob:  ive bought bout 4 usb dngles in the last 2 months - all worked out of the box. no issues
[11:00] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: is this one command? initrd '/boot/initramfilename'
[11:01] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: 'initrd /boot/initramfilename' yes
[11:02] <vjacob> dr_willis, thx for the info :)
[11:03] <vjacob> I got the Edimax EW-7811Un.
[11:03] <vjacob> since it was recommended for Raspberry Pi too
[11:04] <vjacob> but I digress. got them grub blues.
[11:04] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: maybe try a fsck ?
[11:04] <SolarisBoy> not saying that will work but it's pretty weird
[11:04] <vjacob> aye, trying
[11:05] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: when I try to do the kernel command I get unknown command 'kernel'
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: oh my bad in grub2 it's linux instead of kernel
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> 'linux /boot/kernelaname options'
[11:06] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: I tried linux instead of kernel and its the same unknown command 'linux'
[11:06] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I can't, it's encrypted and fsck.crypto_LUKS is not found
[11:06] <vjacob> (since / was unmounted)
[11:08] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: doesn't sound like your in grub1 or grub2 then.....
[11:09] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: no idea  ... all I did was install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a brand new system ... ;)
[11:09] <vjacob> thanks for all your consideration.
[11:09] <vjacob> gonna take a break.
[11:09] <SolarisBoy> ok
[11:09] <vjacob> everything was working fine until this morning for a month.
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: try it again from the set root= portion
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: note that there are no qoutes in the actual commands.
[11:10] <rico129> bedtime. Thanks for the help everyone.
[11:11] <zetheroo> yeah I have tried it several times with no luck
[11:11] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, is it strange that 'grub' is not installed, while 'grub-install' and 'update-grub' is ?
[11:11] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: is grub2 installed?
[11:12] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: it seems more like a command-not-found blooper lol
[11:12] <vjacob> I don't think grub2 is installed
[11:12] <SolarisBoy> it should be..
[11:12] <SolarisBoy> if it's a default installation and all
[11:12] <vjacob> how can I check?
[11:13] <Ben64> dpkg -l | grep grub
[11:13] <vjacob> dpkg -i doesn't let me finish due to being on a read-only fs
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> dpkg -l 'grub*'
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: did the remount rw not work for you?
[11:13] <oskar-> zetheroo:  why do you use gpt? i assume, your problems are caused by grub not well supporting gtp
[11:13] <oskar-> gpt
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: it's dpkg -l for listing btw -i is for installing
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> listing should indeed by r/o
[11:14] <vjacob> I thought it was working, but hmm, not sure
[11:14] <zetheroo> oskar-: yeah you are probably right ..... but like I said .... this is just a simple Ubuntu install with RAID1 ... I did not try anything funny
[11:14] <zetheroo> oskar-: so why it's using gpt I have no clue
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: easy to tell after you do it type 'mount' and observe the line correlating to your / mount point you will see if it's currently ro or rw
[11:15] <oskar-> zetheroo:  is the disk size above 2 tb?
[11:15] <zetheroo> oskar-: the RAID1 on which Ubuntu is installed is comprised of 2 x 1TB HDD's
[11:15] <vjacob> ok, it looks like it's rw, but I actually don't see mention of /.
[11:15] <SolarisBoy> but it's a mirror so it's 1TB
[11:16] <zetheroo> oskar-: there are also 2 x 3TB HDD's in the machine untouched
[11:16] <vjacob> I see mentioned: /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/fuse/connections, /sys/kernel/debug + ecurity /dev /dev /pts /run/lock /run/shm /run/lock
[11:16] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: but they aren't a part of the md0 right?
[11:16] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: right - only the 2 x 1TB HDD's
[11:16] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: heh ok
[11:16] <oskar-> zetheroo:  maybe the installer is guessing to better use gpt because of their existence
[11:17] <vjacob> 'grub*' ?
[11:17] <SolarisBoy> zetheroo: oskar- does have a point however - usually i see the labels as msdos partitions in grub
[11:17] <SolarisBoy> not gpt*
[11:17] <zetheroo>  oskar-: no, I tried the Ubuntu install without the 2 x 3TB HDD's in there and it was the same issue
[11:18] <SolarisBoy> is there previous labeling on he disks though?
[11:18] <vjacob> #dpkg -l 'grub*'
[11:19] <vjacob> un   grub
[11:19] <vjacob> un  grub2
[11:19] <vjacob> ii   grub-common
[11:19] <vjacob> ii   grub-coreboot
[11:19] <SolarisBoy> uh  oh
[11:19] <vjacob> ii   grub-gfxpayloa
[11:19] <vjacob> ii   grub-pc
[11:19] <vjacob> ii   grub-pc-bin
[11:19] <zetheroo> SolarisBoy: what do you mean?
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> im wondering why it's using gpt.
[11:20] <vjacob> ii   grub2-common
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: use pastebin in the future for long output.
[11:20] <vjacob> sorry
[11:20] <psakrii> any pointers for creating debian packages for web applications ?
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> fine with me =)
[11:21] <vjacob> so it looks like grub _is_ installed (version 2) for PC/BIOS
[11:21] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: why would you need to debian package a *web app*?
[11:21] <oskar-> zetheroo:  do you have any uefi stuff in the mainboard activated? i don't know much about uefi/gpt, except that it is somehow related
[11:21] <vjacob> at least grub-pc and grub-pc-bin. I assume that 'grub' and 'grub2' are not necessary.
[11:21] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: possible
[11:22] <zetheroo>  oskar-: very possibly ... should I disable it if it's enabled
[11:22] <SolarisBoy> grub is deprecated - i thought grub2 was default
[11:22] <PrincessLuna> How can I right click with a touchscreen?
[11:22] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: it would be easy for setting up the web app on local or staging servers
[11:22] <zetheroo>  oskar-: actually I am certain there is something liek that enabled
[11:22] <oskar-> zetheroo:  you could try it, and then ubuntu might not get the idea to use gpt
[11:22] <zetheroo>  oskar-: should I disable it and reinstall Ubuntu?
[11:22] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: so you want to package the application code?
[11:22] <vjacob> well I don't remember diverging form the defaults, and I've only ever been suggested to install grub-pc/grub-pc-bin. no mention of grub2 missing before
[11:22] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: what does the application run in?
[11:22] <vjacob> but I can't rule out that my system has been tampered with.
[11:22] <zetheroo>  oskar-: ok ... but should I reinstall Ubuntu as well ?
[11:23] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: its runs on PHP
[11:23] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: use git
[11:23] <oskar-> zetheroo:  depends on your decision, how much time you want to invest to get the current installation working...
[11:24] <WhiteHippo> Hi all. I have an issue with ubuntu 12.10/cinnamon/banshee. my taskbar turns all pixelated where the icons are supposed to be after a few hours of having banshee running.
[11:24] <WhiteHippo> ideas ?
[11:24] <WhiteHippo> and also my text is all grey. is that normal ?
[11:24] <Ben64> we can't help you with cinnamon :(
[11:24] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: that would be for version controlling i m talking about setting up the web app along with dependencies
[11:24] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: no - that would be for deploying to your web root -
[11:24] <WhiteHippo> can you point me to someplace with cinnamon help Ben64?
[11:24] <oskar-> zetheroo:  with uefi/gpt disabled and normal dos partitions a new installation should work out of the box
[11:24] <Touhou11> WhiteHippo: Try a less buggy DE, like XFCE
[11:25] <WhiteHippo> DE = ?
[11:25] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: use submodules - generally people package binary executables - not simply the web files that compile a web app - so im just saying using git and submodules you can pull the app easily (local/dev) and deploy it in the same hand
[11:25] <Ben64> WhiteHippo: i dunno, check the cinnamon website?
[11:25] <WhiteHippo> XFCE = ? (sorry. ubuntu noob)
[11:25] <WhiteHippo> ah. ill do that.
[11:25] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: but if your intent on having a debian package it's really nto hard at all to unwrap some files to a location - would be a pretty shallow package though -
[11:26] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: hmmm ok cool any specific reason why only binary executables are packaged
[11:26] <psakrii> ?
[11:26] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: i didn't say *only* i said generally - because thats how packages are delivered - your talking a web app
[11:27] <oskar-> zetheroo:  and for array created from the bigger disks you could simply use no partitions, but instead create a LVM physical volume directly on top of it
[11:27] <oskar-> +the
[11:27] <SolarisBoy> it's code in files under a WEB_ROOT - people generally use git - or whatever to control what appears there - in the same hand a git clone to a WEB_ROOT of a working PHP app - is in turn - deploying it.
[11:27] <Touhou11> It matters more with web software to have the latest stable version, because of security issues. So it's not a good idea to use old versions in repositories
[11:27] <TakeItEZ> psakrii: there are also packages for stuff like wordpress, drupal etc
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> which i was going to mention - if your intent on having something like this - take a look at how they do those ones which are generally a copy of files to a location -
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> BUT they generally also setup a web conf for apache and bounce the web server as well -
[11:28] <ludwig_> ok so when i have a folder on my desktop with a python application inside, i can double click it and have it run. When i put the same folder in my home folder, when i double click the applicaiton it opens as a text fire.. i dont see any options in the right click menu.. how can i get it working there?
[11:28] <swulf--> I just got ubuntu installed on my Macbook pro, and the damn function ('fn') key is where the control key *ought* to be :)  Can anyone point in a direction to do something similar to this ( http://www.technobuffalo.com/2011/02/04/macbook-fn-key-as-control-oh-yes/ ) ?
[11:29] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: ok coo
[11:30] <dawkirst> hi, what is the /opt directory for?
[11:30] <psakrii> l
[11:30] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: you can do that debian package thing but if your developing trust me - git is easier - think code changes... do you want developers to have to reinstall myapp-deb-package on each code change or do a git pull?
[11:30] <Seveas> dawkirst: 3rp party software installed with another mechanism than .deb files
[11:31] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: Git pull will only update the code rite but will not update the dependencies
[11:31] <dawkirst> Seveas, ok...so this tutorial is misleading? http://www.technoreply.com/how-to-install-sublime-text-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-unity/
[11:31] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: it depends on what you consider dependancies and how your "dependancies" are tied into your repo
[11:31] <zetheroo> I cannot find where to disable UEFI in the server BIOS
[11:32] <psakrii> TakeItEZ: thanks i was talking about packaging  web app like deb packages
[11:32] <zetheroo>  oskar-: I cannot find where to disable UEFI in the server BIOS
[11:32] <ludwig_> ok so when i have a folder on my desktop with a python application inside, i can double click it and have it run. When i put the same folder in my home folder, when i double click the applicaiton it opens as a text fire.. i dont see any options in the right click menu.. how can i get it working there?
[11:32] <MakiAto> hi brothers
[11:32] <Seveas> yes. that symlink into /usr/bin is wrong, you could put it in /usr/local/bin (same for the desktop file, should go in /usr/local/share)
[11:32] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: EG if your dependancies is another set of code for instance maybe some python or something - maybe you want to make that a submodule - in where it's like a git repo within another git repo and with seperate versions - from there you can do things with hooks that git doesn't already do by default to manage deps
[11:33] <Seveas> dawkirst: /usr/local is for 'sysadmin installed local things'
[11:33] <dawkirst> Seveas, ok, thanks :)
[11:33] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: if you mean deps as in - it installs system based application components (like binary & library files) statefully on disk, no git does not do that
[11:33] <dawkirst> Seveas, the /opt reference is correct then, right?
[11:34] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: yes thats what i meant
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: how many times does one need to install apache? and is it needed to install apache each time you deploy your application? maybe im getting a little too consulty =)...
[11:35] <Capprentice> what gnome themes are available for ubuntu 12.04 ?
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> thats my job but - yea - its up to you - seems clunky though - 'reinstall apache/redeploy code' vs 'git pull' on a system that _already_ has those things installed - unless it's required
[11:36] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: :) of course not apache need not be installed everytime. Debian can handle it rite if apache is not installed it shall install it else it will continue
[11:37] <Capprentice> Can anyone confirm whether Intel Linux Graphics installer works or not ? - https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intel-linux-graphics-installer
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> i would opt for telling my developers to already have system utilities to test/run web apps on their systems - and then enforce the git repo on them
[11:37] <Seveas> dawkirst: yeah
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: in your case if thats what your bent on - it sounds like you would want to make a custom debian package with dependancies of it's own
[11:38] <Touhou11> I would avoid git if you can, there are many decent SCMs out there
[11:38] <Seveas> git is a decent scm, it's great even :)
[11:38] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: yes i want to try it out
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: like TakeItEZ mentioned check out the drupal.deb file - you can unarchive it and look at it
[11:39] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: ok that should help !! thanks a lot
[11:39] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> psakrii: grab it with 'apt-get download drupal'
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> Touhou11: git is the only decent scm
[11:39] <psakrii> SolarisBoy: Thanks
[11:40] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: Hahahaha... my sides. It has the most terrible interface known to man, pretty much broken by design. SCMs like Fossil or Mercurial are a million times better
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> interface is cli...
[11:41] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: Yes, and it's incredibly obtuse to use.
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> Touhou11: this is unheard of in real world implementation - maybe at your house lo
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> Touhou11: for the challenged sure =)
[11:41] <dak0> Hello guys anyone using wine here I got simple question ?
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> you didn't even name SVN or CVS are you actually serious?
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> mercurial? really?
[11:41]  * SolarisBoy dies
[11:41] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: So it's intentionally difficult to use? Think about what you're saying. The same tasks in Fossil or Mercurial are much quicker to accomplish, you don't have to work around a ridiculous interface
[11:42] <SolarisBoy> who said it's difficult?
[11:42] <dak0> How do I run "As Administrator" in Wine ?
[11:42] <dr_willis> dak0:  here or #winehq
[11:42] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: Anyone who's used better alternatives...?
[11:42] <SolarisBoy> ok..
[11:42] <dak0> #winehq
[11:42] <SolarisBoy> 1) look at git web site and compare their docs to ANY other
[11:42] <SolarisBoy> 2) get real
[11:42] <ludwig_> ok so when i have a folder on my desktop with a python application inside, i can double click it and have it run. When i put the same folder in my home folder, when i double click the applicaiton it opens as a text fire.. i dont see any options in the right click menu.. how can i get it working there?
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> 3) git commands are a summary of 2 things git and an action
[11:43] <dak0> Thank you dr_willis
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> git pull, git init, git push, whats hard?
[11:43] <dr_willis> Got ontopic.    :-P
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> oh blah
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> im done with this foolishness anyhow.
[11:43] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[11:43] <Seveas> ludwig_: what's the output of this command: ls -la /home/yourname/path/to/the/python/thing
[11:43] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: Clearly you've only used SCM in the most simple fashion if that's what you would struggle with
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> dude i run SCM sites larger than your company - stop please
[11:44] <Touhou11> SolarisBoy: Sure you do... sure
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> bite me
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> says the mercurial genius
[11:44]  * SolarisBoy re-dies
[11:45] <Seveas> SolarisBoy: tonsofpcs behave. Just ignore each other if you don't get along.
[11:45] <SolarisBoy> ok Seveas
[11:45] <Seveas> Touhou11*
[11:45] <Seveas> sorry tonsofpcs, tab error :)
[11:45] <Touhou11> Doubt you've even tried out alternatives, too busy sucking Torvalds dick
[11:45] <Seveas> Touhou11: stop. right now.
[11:45] <SolarisBoy> sensitive a tad?
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> git isn't even gnu btw...
[11:46] <Seveas> SolarisBoy: stop it.
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> ok ok ok
[11:46] <Touhou11> !ot | SolarisBoy
[11:47] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I got the boot working.
[11:47] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: noice! what did you do?
[11:47] <ludwig_> ls: cannot access -: No such file or directory
[11:47] <ludwig_> ls: cannot access la: No such file or directory
[11:47] <ludwig_> ls: cannot access /home/Printrun/pronterface.py: No such file or directory
[11:47] <vjacob> SolarisBoy, I don't know. I tried running # update-grub2
[11:47] <vjacob> but still not sure what made the menu option appear
[11:47] <Seveas> ludwig_: then spell it correctly....
[11:48] <dr_willis> ludwig_:  spell it right?  Use the tab key
[11:48] <rogier> Under Gnome 2 I could set a applet on the upper taskbar to chance the brightness of the backlight on my laptop screen. Is this still possible under gnome 3 classic?
[11:48] <vjacob> or where the kernel came from
[11:48] <dr_willis> !tab
[11:49] <SolarisBoy> vjacob: you know i was going to mention that at one point
[11:49] <SolarisBoy> lol glad you got it straigtened out !
[11:49] <vjacob> me too. a lot of work not going to waste on this account.
[11:49] <vjacob> thanks for sticking with it
[11:49] <SolarisBoy> np vjacob
[11:49] <vjacob> I might have lost my nerve otherwise.
[11:50] <SolarisBoy> and nerves are good to keep
[11:50] <ludwig_> idk.. i dont really understand this. Isn't there some way to fix this without persuing something more complicated than the problem itself?
[11:50] <SolarisBoy> when people tell me i have some nerve i smile
[11:52] <Seveas> ludwig_: hmm, could be possible in the gui too. Rightclick the file, go to permissions and make sure the execute permission is set
[11:52] <ludwig_> yes it is.
[11:53] <SolarisBoy> is your username Printrun? ludwig_
[11:57] <vjacob> you've got persistence.
[11:59] <user82> hello. i have a question about "fstrim". fstrim trims a huge amount of data when i run it every hour, is that normal?
[11:59] <ludwig_> username is ludwig
[12:00] <vjacob> heh. everything working or so it seemed. just ran ./install.sh once for my wireless USB adapter. ran it again, since I wasn't sure if it was all installed. after running it again, I notice that wireless access points are showing in the ubuntu network menu pulldown. then.... kernel panic!
[12:00] <vjacob> must be my lucky day.
[12:01] <dr_willis> What wireless has a install.sh?
[12:01] <vjacob> Edimax EW-7811Un
[12:02] <dr_willis> Not seen one of those. Mine are all plug and play...
[12:02] <vjacob> apparently it works out of the box on Linux Mint and another distro, but not on Ubuntu so far :)
[12:03] <dr_willis> Seems odd. Unless they just released a driver for it i guess.
[12:03] <ludwig_> ok i fixed it
[12:03] <dr_willis> Test it in 13.04
[12:03] <ludwig_> if you change the filetype to open with "home"  , it runs, rather than running it with some other application like a text editor
[12:11] <TakeItEZ> vjacob: 12.10 has the correct driver, check "modprobe -l rtl8192cu"
[12:11] <histo> vjacob: what chipset is the card?
[12:18] <_ultimate> i have two identical omnikey card readers installed on ubuntu after rebooting they get confused and i have to start swapping the ports around to get them to work again, can somebody help me lock the ids of the readers with udev or similar
[12:19] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: do you know the kernel device names for each reader?
[12:21] <_ultimate> i think i can find that out
[12:21] <_ultimate> lsusb should list that am i correct
[12:22] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, ah.. I'm on 12.04.
[12:22] <vjacob> histo, rtl8192cu
[12:22] <vjacob> good to read about 12.10 though
[12:22] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: somewhat you can probably match on the ID's if they are different with udev, do those readers create any sort of device path under /dev ?
[12:23] <one> back
[12:23] <_ultimate> SolarisBoy, how do i check that with udev
[12:23] <one> make me King as we move toward a one world order
[12:24] <one> Novus Ordo Domini
[12:24] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: check your dmesg output and see if you can find the associated device(s) names that are under /dev - when you get them use udevadm info -a -n /dev/<device_name> to get the udev attributes
[12:24] <DJones> one: Stop the offtopic comments
[12:25] <one> DJones: no u
[12:25] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: another thing you can do is run udevadm monitor while plugging something in and out of the reader - it should print the kernel names and any custom attributes you can match on
[12:27] <_ultimate> just looking
[12:29] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, the trick seems to be simple. 'make; make install; modprobe 8192cu'. it's working now. thanks for the help earlier.
[12:33] <vjacob> apart from that I had a few password authentication problems, but they appear to be solved now. not withstanding the antenna mode/password authentication mode.
[12:33] <TakeItEZ> vjacob: just remember you need to build it again, everytime your kernel gets updated
[12:37] <vjacob> aye, duly noted. thanks!
[12:37] <vjacob> guess I won't upgrade soon ;)
[12:40] <TakeItEZ> vjacob: i just checked my 12.04, it already has 8192cu too (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[12:41] <lattera> so I'm trying to find the src for glibc used in ubuntu 10.04
[12:41] <lattera> anyone know where I can find it?
[12:42] <SolarisBoy> lattera: try apt-get source <package_name>
[12:43] <lattera> nope, didn't work
[12:43] <_ultimate> SolarisBoy , they both show on dmesg
[12:44] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: technically it sounds like your looking to set the cards with udev not the readers - so do you have something plugged into atleast 1?
[12:44] <nomad7611> Hi there I need help ! I' m new to ubuntu and I need to transfer my system wich is installed on a 16g USB drive to my newly installed HD ... can anybody help ? Am I at the right place to ask ?
[12:45] <SolarisBoy> lattera: seems that source package isn't available - if it's not included in something else you can search online for glibc-2.13-1 + source
[12:45] <_ultimate> yes SolarisBoy i can insert a card no problem
[12:46] <dkmt> hi~~~
[12:46] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: once you insert a card get the /dev/<name> that gets created and run udevadm info -a -n /dev/<name>
[12:46] <vjacob> TakeItEZ, peculiar. I tried insmod 8192cu but it didn't work at the time. I now realise why: I was booted using that d.... 3.2.37 kernel
[12:47] <vjacob> anyway, it's good to know.
[12:47] <vjacob> thanks again :)
[12:47] <vjacob> cya, folks and thanks for supporting and making Ubuntu so pleasant!
[12:47] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: pull it out and put it in the other slot and do the same action again - look at the attributes on each card & reader and create a rule using something from the reader to match on and something from the card to match on - make 2 rules like this for each reader/card
[12:47] <_ultimate> where can i search for the dev name
[12:48] <esing> #bash
[12:48] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: it really depends on what your plugging in - but it should be in the end portion of the dmesg buffer now if you just plugged it in
[12:49] <keepguessing> hi I have configured system wide proxy and installed ubuntu-tweak. When i click on apps i cannot see anything there. i am using ubuntu 12.04
[12:49] <_ultimate> yes i can see the reader at the end of the dmesg
[12:49] <keepguessing> This is a fresh installation.
[12:50] <lattera> SolarisBoy: yeah, I've been searching (I'm looking for glibc-2.10-1 in Ubuntu 10.04)
[12:50] <_ultimate> which piece of information about the device will tell me its udev
[12:50] <lattera> can't find a single page that shows it
[12:50] <keepguessing> I tried running ubuntu-tweak with --debug flag but there is not error in it.
[12:50] <SolarisBoy> lattera: is it a storage device? is it automounted?
[12:50] <momin90909> Do anyone know alternative to MS Paint for Ubuntu
[12:50] <lattera> in fact, there is a page that lists all the glibc versions in each release, but for some reason 10.04 was skipped
[12:50] <momin90909> that is as simple
[12:51] <keepguessing> momin90909: gimp
[12:51] <SolarisBoy> lattera: LFS site probably has it
[12:51] <SolarisBoy> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.5/chapter06/glibc.html lattera
[12:51] <keepguessing> its not a alternative. its much better
[12:51] <lattera> SolarisBoy: thanks, but I'm looking for the one from Ubuntu, since Ubuntu heavily modifies software like glibc
[12:51] <SolarisBoy> truth
[12:51] <BluesKaj> momin90909, gnome paint
[12:52] <momin90909> @BluesKaj is it that simple
[12:52] <nomad7611> Can someone help me transfer my system installed on a usb stick to my newly installed HD ? please !
[12:52] <lesshaste> how can you take a screenshot of an entire web page?
[12:52] <lesshaste> that includes the part you would scroll down to
[12:52] <_ultimate> it shows me that the reader is connected to usb 2-1.5
[12:52] <BluesKaj> nomad7611, dunno look in the software center for a description
[12:53] <BluesKaj> momin90909, ^
[12:53] <SolarisBoy> lesshaste: they have browser plugins and stuff for that - haven't seen any system utility or built in feature though
[12:53] <momin90909> oh yes it is
[12:53] <SolarisBoy> lesshaste: you can save the web page as an html =)
[12:53] <dr_willis> nomad7611:  you can dd the USB onto the HD.
[12:53] <momin90909> Thanks very much
[12:53] <lesshaste> SolarisBoy, which plugins are you thinking of?
[12:53] <alocer> any one in iran pvt msg me plz :|
[12:54] <SolarisBoy> lesshaste: i forgot the names google it =)
[12:54] <SolarisBoy> lesshaste: full screen screen shot + chrome/firefox
[12:54] <nomad7611> dr_willis : thanks ... how do I do that ?
[12:54] <lesshaste> SolarisBoy, pdfit it seems
[12:55] <SolarisBoy> seems so if your running FF lesshaste give it a shot
[12:56] <dr_willis> nomad7611:  id use a second live USB. Boot it. Plug in os USB.   Then use dd with the right options
[12:56] <nomad7611> I ' m new to Ubuntu is dd a command line in terminal ?
[12:56] <SolarisBoy> you'll probably need to update your grub.cfg to point to the right disk
[12:57] <nomad7611> ok I get it thank you very much !
[12:57] <dr_willis> nomad7611: if you are new.. id just use the installer
[12:57] <torpet> hi, what is the best way to make a triple-booting win/ubuntu/anyotherlinux distro system?
[12:57] <dr_willis> And reinstall
[12:57] <torpet> actually i want to try out grub-efi, but i want this setup to be quite stable
[12:57] <torpet> should i still rely on the old bios-mbr?
[12:58] <dr_willis> torpet: that may be a good idea
[12:58] <SolarisBoy> torpet: create a new partition install the distro there and update grub
[12:58] <lesshaste> SolarisBoy, it's great! :)
[12:58] <lesshaste> SolarisBoy, only problem is that it saves an image but I can live with that
[12:58] <SolarisBoy> nice
[13:00] <nomad7611> dr_willis:  Yeah... you are probably right a fresh install would probably be more easy for me thank you for your advice !
[13:05] <_ultimate> are you still there solarisboy
[13:05] <SolarisBoy> yes but on the way out.
[13:05] <_ultimate> i have found the device with udevadm monitor
[13:06] <SolarisBoy> _ultimate: run udevadm info -a -n </dev/device_name> get the attributes and create a rule using the differing attributes on each card
[13:06] <SolarisBoy> i need to go sorry =( laterZ
[13:06] <_ultimate> ok
[13:08] <torpet> dr_willis: so you wouldn't recommend uefi for what i want?
[13:09] <zetheroo> well I am installing Ubuntu for the 5th time now on this server ... trying to find a method of install that will actually work!
[13:09] <zetheroo> I even tried installing with a manually created EFI partition and that was useless ...
[13:10] <zetheroo> this is extremely painful... :(
[13:11] <cfhowlett> zetheroo, suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server
[13:11] <everestt> what's the irc channel for 13.04?
[13:12] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1
[13:13] <lesshaste> how do you get acroread to remember your setting  (double sided for example)?
[13:16] <Abu> hey, i have a problem with latest ubuntu server edition, if i leave it on its own the screen goes black and it stops responding
[13:17] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu_server|Abu, suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server
[13:17] <Abu> ah
[13:17] <Abu> :D
[13:18] <everestt> ubottu, thanks
[13:18] <everestt> >_>
[13:19] <denny> I want to connect to a PPTP VPN using Ubuntu 12.10 - what should I read?  I see a 'VPN Connections' sub-menu under my network applet, but it's empty - how do I add/configure a VPN connection?
[13:19] <everestt> ubottu, you passed my Turing test ;)
[13:20] <everestt> ubottu, why not?
[13:20] <cfhowlett> denny, see your vpn provider instructions.  then add the VPN and follow the wizard.  PPTP is one of the options ...
[13:20] <lesshaste> how can I print a large image over two pages?
[13:20] <denny> cfhowlett: expand 'add the vpn' please?
[13:20] <everestt> ubottu, repeating the same thing does not mean you are a bot... you're a human acting like a bot aren't you?
[13:20] <denny> where do I do that?
[13:20] <Pici> everestt: please stop.
[13:21] <everestt> Pici, ok :)
[13:21] <cfhowlett> denny, VPN connections > configure VPN > VPN > Add
[13:21] <denny> yeah, that's not there, as I said
[13:21] <denny> VPN Connections sub-menu is empty.
[13:21] <_ultimate> really struggling with this udev stuff
[13:21] <denny> it pops up a little grey box about 2 pixels high
[13:21] <denny> do I need to install something?
[13:21] <cfhowlett> denny,what version of ubuntu?
[13:21] <denny> 12.10
[13:22] <cfhowlett> denny, different from mine as I'm on 12.04 ubuntustudio.  Search your tab for "vpn"
[13:22] <denny> my tab?
[13:23] <denny> oh, is that a unity thing?  not running unity
[13:23] <denny> gnome classic
[13:23] <_ultimate> just want linux to lock two usb ports to two devices on start up
[13:23] <cfhowlett> denny, ask in the channel ... I haven't seen gnome in years ...
[13:24] <denny> can I not run the vpn whatever it is from the command-line?
[13:24] <denny> wizard
[13:25] <cfhowlett> denny, again, I've forgotten all that stuff.  re-ask you query.  it's doable, I'm just not the guy to advise you as to how.
[13:26] <gipzo> Hello. I have one program which is spamming to output. How can I make it stop doing this? Tried to >/dev/null, but then it consumes 146% of CPU. When I pipe it to the file it generate 1.4 gb in a 5 minutes...
[13:26]  * denny reboots into Unity
[13:27] <jrib> gipzo: what program?
[13:28] <gipzo> It is a server for zaagtech multitouch sensor...
[13:28] <gipzo> It's like driver for it
[13:30] <jangkr|k> denny: have you installed networkmanager-vpnc?
[13:30] <denny> jangkr|k: for a PPTP connection?  no
[13:31] <denny> I'm getting somewhere now though, looks like it was a gnome bug, menu options missing/not working
[13:31] <gipzo> when i start this server from terminal - it works fine, but when i start it in script like "zinFrameServer &" - it starts to spam
[13:32] <jrib> gipzo: what do you mean by "start this server from terminal"?
[13:32] <jangkr|k> vpn works fine on xfce
[13:32] <cfhowlett> jangkr|k, indeed it does
[13:33] <gipzo> jrib: i have ubuntu server, when i start it in one terminal, then switch to another and start my app - everything works fine
[13:33] <redtape-renegade> Gubuntu: !ping
[13:33] <gipzo> jrib: my application is starting in xinit
[13:34] <jrib> gipzo: I don't really understand exactly what you are doing... I'd suggest contacting the developers for the program
[13:36] <gipzo> hm...
[13:36] <gipzo> i'll try, but they are from china...
[13:37] <lesshaste>  is there some way of printing a pdf of an image over two pages?
[13:38] <cfhowlett> gipzo, you might want to use a different tool ... perhaps one that isn't developed in a country with its very own gov't funded computer espionage corps?
[13:39] <meowsus_> I have three NVidia driver options, the normal one and two that are marked as 304 and 310 experimental.
[13:39] <meowsus_> Are the experimental releases newer than the base driver?
[13:40] <keepguessing> hi i found the solution. its a problem with the ubuntu tweak 0.8.3 version. as it is not able to work without a proxy.
[13:43] <whatitis> finally got winblows fixed, some curropted memory.dmp? again?
[13:44] <Guest55361> How to install software

[13:45] <bluntty> im running ubuntu 12.10 on my hp 620 and i get a graphical glitch at start up... could this be a driver thing?
[13:45] <Guest55361> i am new on it

[13:46] <lesshaste> how can I convert a pdf of an image to png without losing resolution?
[13:47] <cfhowlett> lesshaste, gimp MIGHT be able to do that ...
[13:47] <whatitis> there is one heck of a learning curve sometimes..but once you learn it, it seems restricting to go back to windows...
[13:47] <whatitis> a pdf is not an image but like  word document
[13:48] <whatitis> you'd have to extract the image from the file...usually referenced at a website or your harddrive?
[13:48] <Guest55361> when i go to install software an error occurred
[13:48] <whatitis> png and bmp's are close in quality...higher would be raw..
[13:49] <whatitis> what is the error?

[13:51] <whatitis> I am not sure my legacy nvidia cardsa are installed properly how do i do this in 12.04?
[13:56] <dudz> so this female who i'd like to sleep with, i built up a pc for her out of old components i had laying around, i'm just installing ubuntu on it now, comments?
[13:56] <whatitis> wth dude
[13:56] <DJones> dudz: The first part of that sentance wasn't necessary
[13:57] <cfhowlett> comment?  sure: this is tech support.  dating advice is elsewhere
[13:57] <dudz> just trying to put things into scope
[13:57] <cfhowlett> *tech support*
[13:57] <whatitis> if she doesn't have a bf just spend time with her, everything should fall into place
[13:57] <grenadecx-Ascend> lol.....
[13:57] <dudz> she lives to far away, i have met her before, i talk to her online mostly
[13:57] <whatitis> try to feel out if she hints at "i want the guy to do everything for me" thing
[13:58] <cfhowlett> !ot
[13:58] <whatitis> xD
[13:58] <grenadecx-Ascend> Lets rename #ubuntu to #dating
[13:58] <whatitis> but ubuntu would be an excellent start
[13:58] <dudz> lol
[13:58] <whatitis> lots of tutoring to do with it if she has the patienence and you can do it online as well
[13:58] <whatitis> you cn even collaborate here
[13:58] <dudz> yeah i just thought it was funny, i was going through the time trying to figure out what windows version she had already from her laptop to put that on, then i just thought why not just chuck ubuntu on it, i havn't tried 12.10 yet
[13:58] <Guest74335> hello. i'm tring to get secureboot working. I've installed on my 12.04.2 grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed and linux-signed-generic-lts-quantal. how can I setup now shim and grub signed? the installation script does not put them on the efi partition
[13:59] <Bangwhistle> there is a lot of great open source desktop managing software with features specific to managing desktops that you've built specifically to increasing your odds engaging in coitus
[13:59] <whatitis> ahahaha
[13:59] <dudz> :)
[13:59] <whatitis> do you kno if she is bi?
[13:59] <dudz> yeah she said she is
[14:00] <whatitis> haha wonderful
[14:00] <Poindexter_> Has anyone here used the new SeaGate 4Terabyte hard drive? What backwards non-compatible BIOS problems might there be. Any comments?
[14:00] <killer> how can i ssh into a ubuntu machine (at my home)
[14:00] <Bangwhistle> I wrote a special version of grep that you should check out dudz, it's called grope.  It's for searching a remote desktop for information that might increase your chances with this girl
[14:01] <dudz> nice
[14:01] <jrib> Bangwhistle: it's great that you are writing software, but this channel is just for support with ubuntu.  If you want to talk about your software, you can try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:01] <Poindexter_> Lots of BIOS problems with anything more than 600 gigs of disk space.
[14:02] <jrib> !ssh | killer
[14:02] <akaariai> I am having annoying problem where USB keyboard drops a couple of first characters when I start typing. Maybe some sort of power management problem? I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Any pointers where to look for solution?
[14:03] <killer> jrib: do i need to open a specific port before sshing into a machine
[14:03] <Poindexter_> Akaariai, perhaps someone spilled liquid in the keyboard. That is a major problem these days.
[14:04] <jrib> killer: you need to install the openssh-server on the machine you want to ssh into.  Have you done that?  Whether you need to open ports, depends on whether you've closed them and your network setup
[14:04] <Poindexter_> Try another keyboard first.
[14:05] <Poindexter_> If the problem persists then set your default settings to another setting. Make sure that your keyboard is for the country you are in.
[14:07] <akaariai> Poindexter_: OK, will try those first.
[14:07] <Poindexter_> Try using another keyboard first.
[14:07] <Poindexter_> That should tell you everything.
[14:08] <akaariai> OK, will see if I can find one somewhere.
[14:09] <Poindexter_> If you have the same problem try two keyboards just to make sure that some donkey didn't spill some liquid on they keyboard.
[14:09] <DerJunge> Help! When I am trying to install ubuntu 12.4.2 via USB I keep getting this error message saying casper/vmlinuz is mizzing
[14:09] <DerJunge> *missing
[14:09] <Poindexter_> Liquid spilled on the keyboard creates errors.
[14:10] <Poindexter_> Also a bad cable or try another USB port to make sure.
[14:10] <cfhowlett> DerJunge, first run md5sum to verify the iso.  then boot the usb and run "check disk for erros"
[14:11] <Poindexter_> A USB port can go bad just like a bad cable.
[14:13] <DerJunge> md5sums are good and the usb is good
[14:15] <BeyROBOT>  ahola!

[14:17] <jman074> need to install oracle java on ubuntu. how do i do this
[14:18] <BluesKaj> type oracle java into the software center search , jman074
[14:18] <jman074> i tried that. what about a terminal command
[14:20] <delinquentme> OK all ... IM trying to do some witchcraft here....
[14:20] <delinquentme> I need to make a ton of the same file ... with 1 var swapped out
[14:21] <delinquentme> should this be a shell script?
[14:22] <akaariai> Poindexter_: I found a cure - it was power management after all. Solved by "echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/7-1/power/control"
[14:22] <Laurenceb> hi, im trying to install latest gnu octave on ubuntu 10.04
[14:22] <KomiaPoika> hi
[14:22] <jrib> delinquentme: sure.  Sounds strange though
[14:22] <KomiaPoika> is the ubuntu 12.10 default interface gnome?
[14:22] <Laurenceb> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:octave/stable
[14:22] <Laurenceb> fails  gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host

[14:23] <sianios> Hello, I want to check what ip accessed my webserver, is there any log file? and where can I find it? Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[14:25] <guigouz> ubuntu 12.04.2 (with the latest kernel) does not boot on a macbook pro with nvidia 320m if I load the nvidia driver
[14:25] <jrib> delinquentme: what language is this?
[14:25] <delinquentme> the iterate_vars need to be stuck into the file ..... now the only thing I'm worried about ... is  line 13 where I've got both kinds of quotes
[14:25] <ejv> i sense a question in there somewhere...
[14:25] <delinquentme> jrib,  ruby
[14:25] <jony> the folder icon of my mounted samba partition shows a lock
[14:26] <jony> and I'm only in read only mode, how can I change to full permission?
[14:26] <delinquentme> im generating the base files which are to be fleshed out individually later
[14:26] <jrib> delinquentme: ask #ruby for help with ruby.  I would just use sed for what you described originally.  But any language would be fine
[14:26] <jrib> delinquentme: or is this the file that you want to modify and make copies of?
[14:26] <ejv> jony: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch09.html
[14:27] <delinquentme> I was hoping to iterate through the vars in a linux shell util
[14:27] <delinquentme> and create that ruby file
[14:27] <Guest74335> how can I install nvidia-current on 12.04.2? it depends upon xserver-xorg-core
[14:27] <jrib> delinquentme: define "the vars"
[14:27] <delinquentme> citations covariates cultivars ensembles entities errors formats managements methods pfts priors sites species traits treatments users variables yields
[14:28] <jrib> delinquentme: is that what's inside the parentheses in your first line?
[14:28] <ejv> jony: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide is also quite a good reference
[14:28] <delinquentme> jrib, correct
[14:28] <jony> I have a Windows 7 share, I want to full access it in Ubuntu 12.04, I mounted like this: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jony,password=66918jony //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server
[14:28] <jony> but it mount only read-only
[14:28] <jrib> delinquentme: it seems weird to generate this.  Can't you do it "better" and avoid all this duplication?
[14:29] <jony> I want it writeable
[14:29] <kk0710> Hey guys, I am running ubuntu on my windows machine in a VM.  I set up ssh and it works locally but I want to be able to ssh into it from school.  I assume that setting up a dns server is the way to go?  If so what is the recommended site to use?
[14:29] <delinquentme> jrib you're right ... except other than these first tests ... alot of the code needs to be specified to each variable
[14:30] <huttan> kk0710: forward port 22 from ur home router to the computer with ssh, thats what u need =)
[14:30] <ejv> kk0710: dns has absolutely nothing to do with it, who told you that...
[14:30] <huttan> kk0710: dont matter if its virtual or not
[14:30] <delinquentme> so theres not much overlap ... IE all the files once created, will be running different code
[14:30] <kk0710> let me rephrase
[14:30] <kk0710> my public IP is dynamic
[14:31] <kk0710> I know I need to forward port 22 from router to machine, but need a way to access my public ip
[14:31] <ejv> !enter | kk0710
[14:31] <jrib> delinquentme: make some version of the file with XXX everywhere you want the variable to go.  Then you can do « for var in citations covariates cultivars ensembles ...; do sed "s/XXX/$var"; done ».  Is that what you were thinking of?
[14:31] <huttan> kk0710: sign up to dyndns or some other service that allows u to assign an easy host to ur IP
[14:31] <kk0710> Yah those whole 3 lines were so troublesome lol.
[14:31] <kk0710> Thank you huttan, sorry I didn't clarify my question previously
[14:32] <kk0710> Not sure dyndns is free though
[14:32] <ejv> The *good* consumer routers on the market include APIs to plug into _many_ DNS services including DynDNS, No-IP, FreeDNS, etc. that will perform updates *for* you.
[14:32] <huttan> kk0710: not sure havent used it for years ...
[14:33] <jrib> kk0710: pick any service that ddclient or inadyn support...
[14:33] <kk0710> huttan: yah it's not free.
[14:33] <ejv> As far as enter as punctuation, time to kick bad habits early.
[14:33] <huttan> kk0710: try one of the ones ejv wrote out
[14:35] <jrib> delinquentme: maybe add "/g" to the end of the regexp...
[14:35] <delinquentme> jrib, if you had to give one linux util which would give me a massive step in the direction of a 10x programmer
[14:36] <delinquentme> which util?
[14:36] <jrib> delinquentme: 10x programmer?  What is that?
[14:36] <huttan> delinquentme: what do you mean with that ?
[14:37] <delinquentme> huttan, jrib the famed concept of a really good programmer can be 10x as efficient as their peers
[14:37] <belgianguy> hi, I'm on 12.10 but I can't close my lid without the screen going black
[14:37] <delinquentme> I see this kind of meta programming as one of those tools
[14:37] <belgianguy> and I need to reboot
[14:38] <jrib> delinquentme: I don't know that such a thing exists.  But I suppose one piece of advice would be to pick a good text editor and learn it well (vim or emacs for example).  This kind of discussion would be more appropriate in #ubuntu-offtopic though; we can continue there if you want
[14:39] <huttan> delinquentme: if u wanna learn an efficient language, try ruby

[14:44] <rrezon> how does a bot work ?
[14:44] <elijah> I am trying to run a script that invokes gnome-terminal, I would like to pass along an option to have "always on top" = true, so it stays on top during its short life. I see that gnome-terminal has a --geometry option. Is this the right option to tinker with to achieve this?
[14:45] <zolidznake> wich bot ?
[14:45] <rrezon> any bot !
[14:45] <zolidznake> what type of bot ?
[14:46] <jony> I try to mount my windows 7 share doing this: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jony,password=66918jony,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server
[14:46] <rrezon> i don't know i just heard that people use bots on IRC
[14:46] <zolidznake> :))
[14:46] <rrezon> what is this
[14:46] <jony> but it will mount only read-only, WHY? :(
[14:46] <zolidznake> it is a socket client wich connect to a IRC server
[14:46] <rrezon> am I a bot ?
[14:46]  * grenadecx-Ascend steals samba password
[14:46] <jony> correct command:  sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jony,password=66918jony //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server
[14:46] <jony> but it will mount only read-only, WHY? :(
[14:47] <iceroot> jony: because the user "jony" does not have write-permission?
[14:47] <rrezon> is there any book or anything so I can learn more about IRC and irc bot and other services ?
[14:48] <zolidznake> you know programming ?
[14:48] <MakiAto> puppylinux is much better that ubuntu im switching
[14:48] <jony> but I executed this too: sudo chown jony /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server
[14:48] <rrezon> no nothing
[14:48] <MakiAto> puppylinux runs from ram
[14:48] <zolidznake> search over google ircbots for linux
[14:49] <MakiAto> like any good OS should be ruunned
[14:49] <rrezon> yes I will . thnx
[14:49] <jony> iceroot, but I executed this too: sudo chown jony /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server
[14:49] <iceroot> jony: and the smb.conf is the to writeable=yes for that share?
[14:50] <layan911> hi all
[14:50] <jony> iceroot, the share is made on a windows 7 pc, I want to mount that share in ubuntu 12.04 with full access
[14:50] <iceroot> jony: if you dont set it to "writeable = yes" or "read only = no" you have a read-only share
[14:51] <iceroot> jony: and the user jony has write-access on windows?
[14:51] <jony> yes
[14:51] <iceroot> jony: and we are talking about the same user? i bet one system is using the local user, the other system is using the domain-user
[14:51] <sonOfRa> If I open a drive via SSH in nautilus, it is possible to enter a path. If I enter /var/www, it works, but /var/www/ it does not. Is this a bug? Or are trailing slashes forbidden for a certain reason?

[15:00] <jony> iceroot, please help me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:00] <jony> iceroot, I must leave now, thanks ahead!
[15:00] <ejv> Claude_: place the rules you want in /etc/fstab
[15:01] <c0ciub2mih2il> Hello, on a ubuntu 12.10, conky v 1.9.0  I have the following problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky/+bug/405340
[15:01] <c0ciub2mih2il> a screenshot http://imgbox.com/adi5oINB  Is it solvable?
[15:01] <Claude_> @ejv i placed in fstab but it is not mounting directly only when typing mount - a as root to work properly
[15:02] <ejv> there's probably an error then
[15:02] <jhutchins_wk> Claude_: What kind of device?
[15:03] <Claude_> @jhutchins_wk i have ubuntu server
[15:05] <Claude_> guys all i want is to run automatically mount -a when booting
[15:06] <ejv> Claude_: you could try writing your own upstart script, add it as a service
[15:06] <SharkMuttleworth> ejv: Don't you mean systemd? Upstart is deprecated
[15:07] <ejv> yea whatever Ubuntu calls it
[15:07] <_ultimate> i have two pcsc card readers and i want to lock each one to the usb port it is attached, does anyone know how
[15:07] <Claude_> sorry i am new to ubuntu, where i can find the upstart file to add my command ?
[15:07] <_ultimate> upstart file
[15:08] <_ultimate> as a normal user or root
[15:08] <_ultimate> "/etc/rc.local"
[15:08] <_ultimate> you can add commands to start programs on start there
[15:09] <_ultimate> but you can also use the startup programs application
[15:10] <_ultimate> Claude_ you can run "sudo nano /etc/rc.local"
[15:10] <_ultimate> or your can also use gedit if you want a more familiar text editor
[15:10] <_ultimate> depends on what ubuntu install you have
[15:11] <Claude_> i added my command (mount -a ) to /etc/rc.local but also it is not working when booting
[15:11] <k1l> Claude_: why mount -a?
[15:11] <k1l> Claude_: that happens every boot automaticaly
[15:12] <ejv> mount -a $WHAT?
[15:12] <ejv> -a, mount all filesystems in fstab, ok so why not just add the entry in fstab, since it's automatically read anyways...
[15:13] <_ultimate> i have two omnikey card readers and i want to lock each one to the usb port it is attached, does anyone know how
[15:13] <Claude_> yes"sudo mount -a " and that what makes my NAS IP written in fstab to be mounted
[15:13] <k1l> or he wants to mount some network stuff that is not available at that stage
[15:13] <_ultimate> i have been looking at udev and found the udev id but i am unsure where to go from there
[15:14] <holstein> _ultimate: what do you mean by "lock"?
[15:14] <_ultimate> holstein when i reboot the machine the two readers get confused so i have to unplug them and replug them and then they work again
[15:15] <Fuzzles> o my last install of ubuntu i installd grpahics driver from amd site worked fine till kernal updated and broke it how come this happened?
[15:15] <k1l> Fuzzles: that is the problem with "driver from site" why not use the driver from ubuntu repo?
[15:15] <holstein> _ultimate: i dont know if that is a port issue.. when you reboot with just one in at a time, does that work?
[15:15] <_ultimate> i want ubuntu to remember what is connected to each port after i reboot
[15:15] <_ultimate> yes it works fine holstein
[15:15] <ejv> Claude_: it sounds like you want to use smbfs or cifs-utils
[15:15] <_ultimate> it also works fine with debian
[15:16] <Fuzzles> k1l, because when i play a game with steam it askeds t update open gl
[15:16] <_ultimate> with both of them debian is fine, but i have found debian a bit sad lol
[15:16] <BLZbubba> hi guys, when I adjust the resolution and rotation in the Settings, where does it store that configuration info?
[15:16] <ejv> Claude_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[15:16] <holstein> Fuzzles: the kernel upgrade is what "broke" it.. you can either not upgrade the kernel, or just reinstall the drivers.. you choose to maintain your drivers manually when you install them manually
[15:16] <BLZbubba> for some reason it is stuck on Clockwise even though I need CCW
[15:16] <_ultimate> i remember doing this a long time ago but i cannot remember how i did it
[15:17] <Fuzzles> holstein, how do i do that when i i rebooted i just got a black screen so i couldnt reinstall it
[15:17] <holstein> Fuzzles: you can boot the older kernel and remove.. you can use tty to do it from the command line.. you can just boot the older kernel that is working and use that one
[15:17] <happyface> ก็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็

[15:18] <Fashdey> Hey :) - I have ubuntu server ed. 12.10, I want to make a full backup (like image to install if system should break) anyone got a solution for that? (I do NOT have physical access to this machine)
[15:18] <ejv> Fashdey: man rsync, man dd
[15:18] <Fuzzles> holstein, i think i tried to boot the old one but it wouldnt, is there anyway to get steal wrking with the supported driver?
[15:19] <holstein> Fashdey: without physical access, just copy over what file you want/need..
[15:19] <fhedstrom> Is it possible to somehow configure an email account with exchange 2010?
[15:19] <Fashdey> Ejv, I will try to check them out :)
[15:20] <holstein> Fuzzles: you think? try for certain.. at boot time.. from the grum menu, under the older kernels menu.. you can remove whatever driver you installed by whatever method the creator suggests via TTY
[15:20] <holstein> fhedstrom: i would ask in an exchange support venue
[15:20] <Claude_> @ejv ok thanks for the link i will try that
[15:20] <Fashdey> holstein Also if I want to make a full backup, to just paste into a fresh installed ubuntu?
[15:21] <Fuzzles> holstein, i cant now i did i reinstall acouple of days ago, so your saying if i boot into the old kernal removed the driver and then booted back into the new kernal and reinstall the driver?
[15:21] <holstein> Fashdey: i would just copy my data, and put it back.. dd as ejv mentioned.. i use clonezilla when i do have access
[15:21] <lattera> yay, got the source to libc for ubuntu 10.04
[15:21] <lattera> after I install it, though, everything segfaults, heh
[15:22] <ejv> 10.04 is pretty old, why bother?
[15:22] <lattera> anyone know the proper steps to installing a custom glibc?
[15:22] <meLon> I am trying to get three monitors working with two Radeon HD 6950's.  I was planning on having two share an XScreen, and create a secondary X Screen for my third monitor.  My current issue is that my cursor gets trapped on my secondary x screen and was wondering if anybody would mind helping me diagnose what could be causing this issue. http://askubuntu.com/questions/261574/cursor-trapped-on-secondary-x-screen
[15:22] <lattera> ejv: a bug in llvm's interaction with the rtld
[15:22] <holstein> Fuzzles: im saying.. boot the older kernel. if it boots, the kernel upgrade is what "broke" the driver. you reinsatll the driver module into the newer kernel, or just use the older kernel, or remove the driver and use the one from the repos
[15:22] <gabkdlly> I am playing around with byobu, and I really like it. But when I open vim with multiple tabs, ctrl-pgdn does not work. Why?
[15:23] <ejv> you should use a more appropriate environment, perhaps gentoo and their overlay system if you're mucking about glibc
[15:23] <ejv> good luck to you
[15:23] <thek_> Question: How can I easily get the currently configured DNS servers from Network manager if I'm getting this information through DHCP?
[15:23] <lattera> I'd love to, but the bug is only reproducible under ubuntu 10.04
[15:23] <tgm4883> thek_, nm-tool
[15:24] <thek_> tgm4883 cool, thanks.
[15:24] <Fuzzles> holstein, how would i reinstall the driver in the new kernel, do i need to be booted in that kernel?
[15:25] <holstein> Fuzzles: you can use TTY, if you cant get into a graphical environment.. and just follow the procedure the creator suggests
[15:25] <irv> what's terminal command to allow encrypted dvds to play on ubuntu?
[15:25] <irv> 12.10
[15:25] <Fuzzles> holstein, whats tty
[15:25] <holstein> !tty | Fuzzles
[15:25] <holstein> !dvd | irv
[15:27] <cronus> lattera, why dont you use 10.04 then? (either in a vm or in chroot)
[15:27] <lattera> I am
[15:27] <lattera> but I need a non-stripped version of glibc
[15:28] <Fuzzles> holstein, ok ill go back to using the driver from their site and if i have this problem again ill try the tty like you said :) thanks learn something new every day
[15:28] <jrib> lattera: there are unstripped packages somewhere.  hold on
[15:28] <jrib> lattera: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
[15:28] <holstein> Fuzzles: tty is just a text console where you can work from if you cant get to the desktop.. there is also the recovery console options at boot
[15:29] <Jinxed-> How can I migrate my entire setup exactly, but to a smaller harddrive safely and easily
[15:29] <DarthEaron> so i get prompted with tty1 when i log in and when i press CTRL + ALT + F7 its just gibberish to me, i tryed logging into tty1 and issuing "sudo service lightdm restart" but on only brings be back to the F7 thing. i think i should mention that this happened exactly after rebooting after installing the nvidia propriatary drivers...
[15:29] <cronus> lattera, you could check if there is a debug package glibc-dbg or something
[15:29] <holstein> Jinxed-: i use clonezilla
[15:29] <ee12155> #prog1
[15:29] <ee12155> #prog1
[15:29] <Jinxed-> holstein, clonezilla is fantastic but only if the destination drive is greater than or requal
[15:29] <irv> also, is there any way to get into a ubuntu install remotely by default?
[15:29] <irv> ssh? vnc?
[15:30] <holstein> Jinxed-: i shrink them clone
[15:30] <holstein> then*
[15:30] <irv> or an easy command i can give the end user to enable ssh/vnc?
[15:30] <DarthEaron> normally i would google this kind of thing but i cant luanch gui, also i tryed backing up xorg.conf and then restoring it from the old one then rebooting but nothing
[15:30] <holstein> i have my data backed up before starting
[15:30] <Jinxed-> holstein, you shrink your partitions then clone?
[15:30] <cronus> lattera, apt-get source might be a good way to get the code and build it yourself with debuild
[15:30] <Fuzzles> holstein, ye like a terminal where you can run commands, i tried the recovery console but could work it maybe next time ill have some idea
[15:31] <mrAlmond> join #lxde
[15:31] <mrAlmond> ops sorry
[15:31] <DarthEaron> anyone have any idea? or at least let me know were i can find help?
[15:31] <holstein> Jinxed-: correct
[15:31] <tgm4883> irv, wouldn't the end user still need to work our port forwarding and their public IP address?
[15:32] <holstein> DarthEaron: how are you failing to get to a GUI? can you get to tty? can you login as your user?
[15:32] <Fuzzles> holstein, actually now i thnk about it when it booted after updates it didnt go into unity it made me login to a black screen with text which sounds like the tty your on about right?
[15:32] <irv> tgm4883: it's a remote site for my work, i have a VPN connection there
[15:32] <irv> I can ping their workstation, but can't SSH
[15:32] <irv> or vnc heh
[15:32] <irv> so if i can give them a terminal command to type in to enable that, i can fix the rest of their issues without making the drive
[15:32] <tgm4883> irv, so for SSH, they would need to install the ssh server "sudo apt-get install ssh" should do it
[15:32] <irv> i just forgot to turn on ssh when i wasup there
[15:32] <irv> thx
[15:33] <DarthEaron> holstein: yes i can, im on the computer now using irc in tty1, tty7 shows like gui tryed to launch but didnt, when i boot ubuntu all i get is tty1, i tried sudo service start lightdm and stop and restart but does not work...
[15:34] <holstein> DarthEaron: startx might kick out some handy errors.. i would try renaming the xorg.conf.. i would try forcing vesa.. i would remove any drivers you recently installed.. i would try the graphics recovery option
[15:37] <DarthEaron> im trying to run startx after "sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.confBACK"
[15:37] <holstein> DarthEaron: and? any errors there? how about using the vesa driver in the xorg.conf?
[15:38] <plist> fffffffff
[15:39] <Gary> hello
[15:39] <DarthEaron> holstein: i dont know what you mean by vesa..like failsafe? i could copt the xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf? oh also the error told me more information would be in /var/log/xorgsomething... cant i send that that file over IRC? instead of pasting in here?
[15:40] <tole> wenas1
[15:40] <lattera> cronus: thanks, I used `apt-get source` to fetch the source, I didn't know debuild existed
[15:40] <holstein> !paste | DarthEaron paste what you think would be relevant.. sometimes i go and change the "driver" option in the xorg.conf to "vesa".. where did you get this xorg.conf?
[15:40] <lattera> I'll try with debuild
[15:42] <DarthEaron> it basically says Failed to initilize the NVIDIA kernal module. then it just shows it unloading the nvidia module and one called wfb and one called fb
[15:43] <holstein> DarthEaron: where did you get the driver? the xorg.conf? from tty you can remove the driver you installed and boot the machine
[15:43] <jhutchins_wk> Cool!  aptitude update segfaulted!
[15:44] <jhutchins_wk> So did apt-get update - reading package lists... Error!
[15:44] <k1l> !away > dark3n
[15:44] <holstein> jhutchins_wk: i would run "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the results
[15:45] <jhutchins_wk> holstein: Like I said, segfault.
[15:45] <holstein> jhutchins_wk: feel free and paste the error for myself and the other volunteers
[15:45] <DarthEaron> the original xorg came was eddited when i installed the new driver, the failsafe one is one that came on the system, i looked it uses vesa driver and it still gives same output on startx. how do i remove the driver i installed? i installed it with the "additional drivers" program...
[15:46] <pa3lo> hi all
[15:46] <jhutchins_wk> holstein: 10:44 < jhutchins_wk> So did apt-get update - reading package lists... Error!

[15:46] <alexsn> any idea how to debug / resolve this
[15:46] <SharkMuttleworth> alexsn: Unity is quite buggy... I suggest using a reliable interface like XFCE instead
[15:47] <holstein> jhutchins_wk: open a terminal, and run "sudo apt-get update" and paste the *exact* error.. you can copy paste it so myself and the other volunteers can see *exactly* what happens
[15:47] <jhutchins_wk> holstein: That IS the exact error.
[15:47] <DarthEaron> ubottu: im stuck in command line, i cant view that... the whole problem is that i have no gui
[15:47] <alexsn> any idea how to reset it?

[15:47] <DarthEaron> is he really a bot?
[15:47] <Pici> Yes.
[15:48] <DarthEaron> thats awesome.
[15:48] <DarthEaron> so how can i remove the driver i installed?
[15:48] <holstein> DarthEaron: you can boot live, and run a desktop.. you can share what hardware you have, and someone can lok on the wiki and see what you might have installed.. you can search for nvidia
[15:48] <alexsn> ShadowStruck, any idea if I can reset it?
[15:48] <s4lted> hi pir4te p4rty at #cisco join now
[15:49] <jhutchins_wk> holstein: After (spontaneous)  reboot, aptitude update completed successfully
[15:49] <holstein> jhutchins_wk: might want to test the hardware then.. ram/hard drive.. just to be sure
[15:49] <DarthEaron> ahh...well i cant get that for in right now. my lunch break is over in about a half hour so ill just mess around on irc untill then. Thank you i really appriciate the help holstein
[15:49] <jhutchins_wk> holstein: Could be bad, it's an old GX280.
[15:50] <holstein> DarthEaron: you can use lspci | grep VGA to see what hardware you have
[15:52] <holstein> DarthEaron: could be as easy as removing nvidia-current .. sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia-current
[15:52] <DarthEaron> NVIDIA corperation GF119 [GeForce GT 520] rev a1
[15:52] <holstein> DarthEaron: i would run "sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia" and hit tab and see what autocompletes

[15:59] <troulouliou_dev> holstein, no i can not access the applicaitons files inside ipad' documents
[16:00] <holstein> troulouliou_dev: whats the error?
[16:00] <DarthEaron> awesome, i got the driver and installed and running without reboot that was awesome. oh by the way what happened to make ubuntu boot really fast? after bios i have a 6 second boot time and a 2 sec login time and a 3 sec powerdown time

[16:05] <VIkFreeze> anyone familiar with setting up kerberos on 12.04?
[16:05] <holstein> troulouliou_dev: Meanwhile, if you don't mind using ifuse, then you won't have this problem and can mount your documents folder just fine every time.

[16:07] <Scouse> Looking to install Ubuntu...will ubuntu 12 run on my old pc running Celeron 1.7Ghz processor with 400Mb ram ???
[16:08] <holstein> troulouliou_dev: thats just from that link you gave.. as a workaround.. i wouldnt wait around on fixes for iOS.. you never know how challenging those can be to fix/patch
[16:08] <holstein> Scouse: i would want more ram.. i would run lubuntu
[16:09] <k1l> Scouse: that is a real slow one. you should try the Lubuntu and i think with the 12.04
[16:09] <holstein> yeah, i agree about 12.04 as well ^^
[16:09] <SharkMuttleworth> Scouse: Try a more light-weight distribution like Arch Linux with a basic tiling Window Manager
[16:10] <Scouse> what is lubuntu...I have always run Windows but tried ubuntu a while back and liked it but dont want to alter OS on laptop. Looking for something that will run quicker on old pc for the kids
[16:10] <holstein> !lubuntu
[16:10] <k1l> SharkMuttleworth: that is the ubuntu support in here.
[16:11] <SharkMuttleworth> k1l: Yes, but Ubuntu really isn't good on old computers. Especially not with Unity
[16:11] <artrei> so i was using ubuntu and install lxde before i move to lubuntu entirely, i still have the lxde profile, can i delete this profile? or make lubuntu profile my default?
[16:12] <holstein> SharkMuttleworth: lubuntu is quite appropriate. you can invite Scouse to a PM, or the OT channel to discuss ot matters
[16:12] <k1l> SharkMuttleworth: thinking of your nick and  your comment on upstart i consider you stick to the guidelines in here. you have seen that there was a recommendation for Lubuntu.
[16:12] <troulouliou_dev> holstein, no idea how it is mounted ? gfvs commadn do not give any output
[16:13] <Scouse> Does Lubuntu look and feel like ubuntu?
[16:13] <holstein> troulouliou_dev: i dont have that device, so, correct. i have no idea how it is mounted.. if i needed to mount an ipad, i would try the workaround suggested..
[16:13] <artrei> Scouse, its actually more like windows
[16:13]  * figure002 is surprised to see Mark online
[16:14] <holstein> Scouse: lubuntu looks like lubuntu, and you can try it from a live CD
[16:15] <figure002> holstein: lubuntu looks like lubuntu? that's a shocker :P
[16:15] <troulouliou_dev> holstein,  ok
[16:16] <BluesKaj> BBL
[16:16] <Scouse> going to look at the website and youtube brb
[16:16] <PrincessLuna> How can I right click?
[16:17] <k1l> PrincessLuna: use the right mouse key?
[16:17] <artrei> click the button next to left click
[16:17] <SharkMuttleworth> PrincessLuna: Not yet a feature implemented in Linux
[16:17] <PrincessLuna> k1l: artrei SharkMuttleworth  Sorry I meant right click using a touchscreen
[16:18] <figure002> lol @ Mark
[16:18] <Seveas> SharkMuttleworth: please stay helpful in here. #ubuntu-offtopic is for random nonsense
[16:18] <k1l> PrincessLuna: which ubuntu, which device?
[16:18] <SharkMuttleworth> PrincessLuna: System preferences->Mouse, there's an option for a long press to count as right click
[16:19] <Scouse> #lubuntu
[16:19] <Scouse> how do i change rooms?
[16:19] <k1l> Scouse: /join #channelname
[16:20] <jali_f> scouse "/join #roomname"
[16:20] <philinux> Scouse: /j  channel
[16:20] <Scouse> thank you
[16:20] <jali_f> anyone have experience installing printers?
[16:20] <figure002> PrincessLuna: I actually prefer to enable two-finger-scroll from the mouse settings, then right-click is tapping with two fingers (MacOS style)
[16:21] <philinux> figure002: same here
[16:21] <PrincessLuna> SharkMuttleworth: I'm using KDE and there is no such option and even in Gnome, I believe that option only applies to the mouse
[16:22] <k1l> PrincessLuna: which ubuntu version= which device is it?
[16:22] <PrincessLuna> figure002: right click works like that with the touchpad but not the touch screen
[16:22] <figure002> jali_f: what is your problem?
[16:23] <PrincessLuna> k1l: 12.10 or 13.04. Thinkpad s230u
[16:23] <figure002> PrincessLuna: ahh, i thought you meant touchpad. I have no experience with touch screens, sorry
[16:25] <PrincessLuna> figure002: Under 12.10 touch works (single only), Under 13.04 multi touch works but for some reason there is no way to right click and its annoying. In Windows 8, right click works by holding down the finger for some time.
[16:26] <JaySwoozle> I dont think there has ever been a more stupid question asked but, im installing wine right now and I reacher what looks like a microsoft policy agreement thing, and  cannot figure out HOW TO PRESS THE OK BUTTON
[16:26] <k1l> PrincessLuna: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26106/make-long-click-act-like-a-right-click
[16:26] <k1l> but i dont know whats that on kde
[16:26] <ikonia> JaySwoozle: try using tab to hilight it
[16:26] <holstein> JaySwoozle: maybe just tab to it? and hit enter?.. take a screenshot if needed
[16:26] <kostkon> JaySwoozle, probably the msscorefonts eula. press tab
[16:26] <figure002> PrincessLuna: can you enable Two Finger Scroll in Ubuntu 12.10?
[16:27] <JaySwoozle> Yes thank you guys!
[16:27] <JaySwoozle> I feel like a real moron now...
[16:27] <ikonia> JaySwoozle: no need
[16:27] <PrincessLuna> figure002: With touchpad yes
[16:27] <JaySwoozle> HOTS here i come!
[16:28] <PrincessLuna> k1l: No such thing in kubuntu and even in Ubuntu I heard its only for the touchpad / mouse.
[16:28] <figure002> PrincessLuna: hmm, don't know about touch screen then
[16:29] <execat> Does anyone know where I can find the server side code for the Ubuntu tour (this: http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/)?
[16:29] <ikonia> execat: I don't think it's public
[16:30] <execat> ikonia, :-/ Is it because of some Ubuntu policy (sorry, not sure how the community works) or just that someone forgot?
[16:31] <ikonia> execat: it's a website....they don't normally mage websites backend available.
[16:31] <SharkMuttleworth> execat: Server side code? Isn't most of it just done in the CSS and Javascript you can see as part of the page?
[16:31] <rkm> hi
[16:32] <rkm> i m new ubuntu user.
[16:32] <execat> SharkMuttleworth, 1. Nice username. 2. The backend is the part I am expecting to look at, because it's working in a weird way. When I type in localhost from the tour web browser, it takes me to /my/ localhost page.
[16:33] <execat> I just thought it was amusing, and wanted to look at the code, as to how it did it.
[16:33] <ikonia> execat: it's not meant to be replicated onto your server
[16:33] <SharkMuttleworth> execat: Probably just an iframe to do that
[16:33] <jrtappers> rkm, Any questions?
[16:35] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[16:35] <ShapeShifter499> what is the highest byte value I can go with when encrypting ssh keys?
[16:36] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, The bigger the keys get, the slower it gets
[16:37] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, slower to generate? or slower connections?
[16:37] <ShapeShifter499> idc how slow it takes to generate
[16:37] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, Slower to generate, slower to login
[16:38] <ShapeShifter499> hmm
[16:38] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, what size do you suggest?
[16:38] <ert3go> Hello, can someone help me install openCV 2.1 on ubuntu 12.04?
[16:39] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, Depends, 2048 is the Default, 4096 is very high. Is this for a personal machine?
[16:40] <jrtappers> Your main security focus should be on securing the private key, If an attacker got that it wouldn't matter about key length, unless it has a password
[16:42] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, I have a 25 alphanumeric passphrase on the key
[16:42] <shade34321> if i'm tarring a file can I do this tar czvf /some_other_dir/tar_dir.tgz dirname/ to tar it in another directory?
[16:43] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, Is it a home machine, or not? I usually go with 4096 and Fail2Ban for extra security
[16:43] <llutz> shade34321: sure
[16:43] <jrtappers> *well, less log file mess
[16:43] <shade34321> llutz: thanks, didn't want to try it before I checked because the data is crucial and therefore can not be lost. Thanks!
[16:44] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, well seems it worked fine for the max limit of 16384
[16:44] <ShapeShifter499> yes I'll use it
[16:44] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, does it just slow the initial login or the whole speed of connection?
[16:46] <Extreme> Hi, I installed a gedit plugin but I can't find it in Gedit > Preferences > Plugins. The files are at: ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins but the plugin doesn't appear in the list.
[16:47] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, I think just generating
[16:47] <jrtappers> ShapeShifter499, http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/creating-32768-bit-rsa-keys-for-fun-and-profit A bit old but relevant
[16:49] <guffytf> Hi, all. I uploaded a file to an Ubuntu machine from a Mac via command-line scp and the file has a few thousand lines. On the destination (Ubuntu) machine, I can see the file using 'more', but 'wc -l' says it has 0 lines. Any idea what's going on?
[16:49] <belgianguy> I've been dabbling with JMeter for the last hour, seems a bit more sophisticated than Siege
[16:50] <belgianguy> woops
[16:50] <belgianguy> wrong chan
[16:50] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, sweet I'll stick with my freshly generated16384 rsa key then lol
[16:50] <guffytf> Oh, I just tried head, and it displayed loads of data all on one line. Maybe my end-of-line characters are wrong??
[16:50] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, weird though I can't seem to go beyond that value,   I get an error " key bits exceeds maximum 16384"
[16:52] <ShapeShifter499> jrtappers, same error on my netbook
[16:52] <jrtappers> 16384 * 2 = 32768, may be the problem
[16:53] <jrtappers> 32768 is listed as the max length so there may be bugs at half full length, seems like too close for coincidence
[16:53] <feydraurha80> hello

[16:55] <Sarger001> Want to dual boot with puppy, but guys over at puppy ushered me over to here.

[16:58] <holstein> i should say, i have not installed puppy after i did it once and decided it was unecessary
[16:58] <Sarger001>  Ubuntu is installed.

[17:20] <SonikkuAmerica> yourimym1: If you're trying to edit a config file inside your home dir tree, you shouldn't need to sudo.

[17:21] <Sarger001> Or do i have to do that manually?
[17:21] <SonikkuAmerica> Sarger001: Pardon my butting but yes, it will.

[18:02] <holstein> !gufw

[18:03] <yourimym1> holstein: it's just bothering me while chooseing what to update

[18:03] <elena-IK> is putting "dmesg -n 3" in /etc/rc.local a good/bad idea?
[18:04] <lisandrop05> holstein: but I'll need to reconfigure my rules
[18:04] <lisandrop05> wich work OK on another servers
[18:04] <holstein> lisandrop05: i would try the server channel, or wait for another volunteer familiar with firehol

[18:05] <lisandrop05> server channel?
[18:05] <holstein> lisandrop05: /join #ubuntu-server for the server channel
[18:06] <Mip5> Hi Folks - I've got a powerful machine (dual qc processors, 24 GB of ram) running 12.04. Recently apt-get update goes fast (fast downloads), but then crawls during Reading Package Lists. It often takes 20 minutes! Any ideas or things to try?
[18:08] <ert3go> holstein, can you explain me the steps in comments of Jac Obi here : http://karytech.blogspot.in/2011/02/opencv-22-on-ubuntu-1010.html
[18:10] <kimibe_n> hello!
[18:10] <fego> I am using a dell inspiron 15 R , this system is so silent while on windows 8 but the fans get busy when i run ubuntu for a while. This system has intel hd 4000 graphics
[18:10] <holstein> ert3go: i dont like to get that far out of the repo versions.. things tend to break, and i dont know what features you are trying to get, but i would ask yourself if its worth it.. this could be only the start of the hassle
[18:11] <ert3go> holstein, :(. I am following the steps mentioned here : http://www.samontab.com/web/2010/04/installing-opencv-2-1-in-ubuntu/
[18:11] <holstein> fego: you can try something like jupiter http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/jupiter-ubuntu-ppa-hardware-and-power.html though i would know how to remove and undo
[18:11] <kimibe_n> Can anybody tell me if UCK or ubuntu bilder are stable as you can suggest me to use at work for 10-15 machines?
[18:11] <holstein> kimibe_n: i just used clonezilla and cloned mine
[18:12] <kimibe_n> holstein livecd would be very nice...
[18:12] <anonona> i built 12.04 on a ppc mac by terminal now i cant get gui to connect to wired or wireless - tried booting from a live 13.04 but graphics are hopeless - anyone know how to enable connections from terminal or to upgrade from the live cd im booting from?
[18:12] <kimibe_n> holstein that's why I am searching an iso creator...
[18:13] <holstein> kimibe_n: id say just try them.. i found issue with all of them.. and deciced not to use one.. try remastersys as well
[18:13] <holstein> !nomodeset
[18:14] <holstein> anonona: i would try that from the live CD... ppc suppport is challenging
[18:14] <holstein> !ppc
[18:15] <kimibe_n> holstein remateresys does not have update since long time and it's support is too bad.. I am trying uck and ubuntu bilder. they seems works fine. but I just try them at home. I dont have a change to try them at office..
[18:15] <raven_> hi
[18:15] <kimibe_n> holstein what did you see as problem?
[18:16] <holstein> kimibe_n: using them, and getting a result that was usable..
[18:16] <raven_> i am trying out this script: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24952/script-to-monitor-folder-for-new-files i do not get any filename output - any ideas?
[18:16] <kimibe_n> holstein did you use uck and ubuntu-builder both?
[18:16] <anonona> yeah that didnt work - ppc is too rare for the info to be easy to get
[18:16] <kimibe_n> holstein hmmm.. :(

[18:19] <raven_> how to monitor a folder for new files and get the filename of them?
[18:19] <Caster2141> *!help
[18:20] <edu> holstein: I'm not looking for that, I need nicklist.pl running
[18:20] <edu> hi there, I'm using irssi (with screen) I run nicklist.pl but names doesn't appear. In ubuntu 12.04 need to configure something more?
[18:21] <holstein> edu: i put my .pl's i the directory suggested at the site.. i'll look
[18:21] <holstein> edu: i am using irssi in screen as well
[18:21] <raven_> how to monitor a folder for new files and get the filename of them?
[18:21] <holstein> !patience | raven_
[18:22] <edu> holstein: In 12.04? I have the script in .irssi/scripts/ and do /run nicklist but nothing changes
[18:23] <holstein> edu: /usr/share/irssi/scripts is where i put them... i just put my config and plugs where i want..
[18:24] <edu> holstein: when I put /run nicklist irssi says: Nicklist loaded
[18:24] <anonona> anyone know a command i can give from a live 13.04 to upgrade my 12.04 ? with no graphics due to an old ppc machine
[18:24] <holstein> edu: i dont use nicklist but the plugs i use are loaded
[18:26] <holstein> edu: i have to run, but http://scripts.irssi.org/ is what i used
[18:26] <Zer0Glitch> Does anyone have a get for Truecrypt?
[18:27] <holstein> Zer0Glitch: a get? i get it from http://www.truecrypt.org/
[18:27] <Zer0Glitch> Download .tar.gz has no install file. Can't get it to run.
[18:27] <Zer0Glitch> Help?
[18:28] <tgm4883> Zer0Glitch, did you run the file in the tar.gz file?
[18:28] <Zer0Glitch> Yes. Only opens in text format.
[18:28] <Zer0Glitch> I'm thinking either one of my file associations is poorly directed, or i'm using the wrong command
[18:29] <tgm4883> Zer0Glitch, I have a feeling that you need to make it executable and run it from the command line
[18:29] <bean__> tar xf whatever.tar.gz
[18:29] <holstein> Zer0Glitch: typically, you would ask truecrypc for help.. but you download and exctract and run the setup that is extracted.. click it and follow the instructions
[18:29] <Zer0Glitch> tar xf makes it executable?
[18:29] <holstein> Zer0Glitch: you can also literally click on it. im doing it now
[18:30] <bean__> no, it'll extract it.
[18:30] <holstein> Zer0Glitch: its installed and running...
[18:31] <Zer0Glitch> When I click on the truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86 it keeps opening in LeafPad
[18:32] <holstein> Zer0Glitch: try right click and open in terminal.. try navigating to it in terminal and running it
[18:33] <tgm4883> Zer0Glitch, LeafPad probably took over opening shell scripts
[18:34] <kor> Hi, does some one knows? how can i change the priority and memory usage of some app? i mean permanently, thanks.
[18:36] <Mip5> Gotta run - thanks anyway. M

[18:47] <raven_> how to monitor a folder for new files and get the filename of them?
[18:47] <tgm4883> lhoersten, where did you set that?
[18:47] <lhoersten> tgm4883: settings -> dislpays -> sticky edges
[18:49] <tgm4883> lhoersten, did you also change the launcher placement on your far left monitor?
[18:49] <lhoersten> tgm4883: no it's still on my far left monitor where it defaulted to
[18:50] <tgm4883> lhoersten, by default, it's on both monitors
[18:50] <lhoersten> tgm4883: then yes I must have changed it to just the primary monitor
[18:50] <raven_> how to monitor a folder for new files and get the filename of them?
[18:51] <tgm4883> lhoersten, hmm. Odd, because with sticky edges off and it set to only use my left monitor, it doesn't stick to my middle monitor edge
[18:51] <tgm4883> raven_, I'm unsure of a program that could do it, but if you know python it's not too difficult
[18:52] <lhoersten> tgm4883: it never used to for me either. I rebooted and now its borken
[18:52] <tgm4883> lhoersten, sorry I couldn't be more help
[18:52] <lhoersten> raven_: inotify
[18:52] <daemoen> lo all.  found an oab-java project for ubuntu, happen to know if it supports both the jre and jdks ?
[18:53]  * daemoen would imagine there must be a few users here familiar with it (oab-java6 on github)
[18:53] <lhoersten> raven_: check out "man inotifywait"
[18:54] <tgm4883> raven_, looks like iwatch will do it http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/index.html (iwatch uses inotify)
[18:54] <quantum> I am just about fed up with Debian.
[18:55] <quantum> Ancient.
[18:55] <Zer0Glitch> So I managed to fix the issue with my Truecrypt install opening in Leafpad. I used alien to turn the .tar.gz into a .deb and installed that way.

[18:56] <quantum> Kool.
[18:57] <quantum> Is selinux integrated in Ubuntu?  Upstart?
[18:57] <tgm4883> quantum, it would appear that xfce is up to date on quantal

[18:58] <rrezon> ?
[18:58] <quantum> Hiinteresting...

[18:58] <quantum> Is AppArmor easier to use?
[18:59] <tgm4883> quantum, I've not used selinux since fedora core 6, so IDK
[18:59] <quantum> tgm4883: Is AA fairly easy to use in practice tho?

[19:01] <jrib> quantum: this channel is for ubuntu support; we wouldn't know

[19:03] <v2zz> hi! i try to synchronize my data folder to drobox folder. use rsync with only 2 params so far recurcive and update and they do well for me. but, when i rename directory it's not renamed, it's only copied (so 2 dirs appear on destionation). anybody knows how to make renaming work?
[19:03] <LuizAngioletti> Shibumi: no. No links. I have no mouse.

[19:04] <xrq> hi! I followed the ubuntu.com instructions for setting up a usb stick to boot ubuntu on a mac.  when I start it with the option key down, the stick does not show up as a boot device.  how do I boot from it?
[19:05] <rrezon> hey guys can you check this web page for me so i can just look at how many people are online right now http://hollywoodtodaynews.com/
[19:05] <Shibumi> LuizAngioletti Can you upload files to paste bin? Because if so, you could cat the errors into a file, then use lynx to go to paste bin, and upload it
