[00:00] <wellwhy> well I have copied and pasted but when I do it that way it doesnt work
[00:00] <Noobuntu> and this one is still in beta - so I really don't know
[00:00] <wellwhy> I just want to apply my google + theme..
[00:00] <wellwhy> Its so annoying
[00:02] <Noobuntu> http://askubuntu.com/questions/75530/how-to-install-gnome-shell-extensions
[00:02] <heath> Hey, I have an Asus ralink wireless pci card. Are there drivers for this?
[00:03] <Kamilion|2> heath: more than likely. What's the ralink chip ID?
[00:03] <heath> How do I find that out?
[00:03] <Kamilion|2> lspci would probably help. :)
[00:04] <heath> I have that up
[00:04] <heath> 5592?
[00:04] <extropy> it's always lspci ;)
[00:04] <Kamilion|2> heath: looks like it works with the ralink 2860 series driver?
[00:05] <heath> how did you find that out so quick? I googled for a while
[00:05] <Kamilion|2> heath: I read at many times the rate of the average human.
[00:06] <GunArm> Kamilion|2: i didn't see what you said in time, and taskkilled 'tasksel' which left locks on files and stuff, so I rebooted the server and ran 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' which set up php5 libhtml apache mysql and a few other packages, I went back into tasksel and it showed lampp checked (installed), should I feel reasonably secure that the setup is done?
[00:06] <heath> Kamilion|2, is there an apt-get install for that?
[00:06] <Kamilion|2> heath: also looks like RT73 might support it in kernel 3.2+
[00:06] <wellwhy> Noobuntu, I still cant open Gnome-Tweak-Shell
[00:06] <Kamilion|2> heath: could be you're lacking firmware?
[00:07] <wellwhy> Well It has happened but nothing has changed
[00:07] <wellwhy> it still is the same
[00:07] <Noobuntu> wellwhy : I haven't tried it on Precise yet, I will let you know if I am able to , give me ur email id
[00:08] <jarray52> I'm having trouble with the microphone in Skype on Ubuntu 10.04. There's a lot of conflicting advice when I run a Google search. Is it best to disable pulseaudio?
[00:08] <wellwhy> you mean, just my email? Or some kind of id?
[00:08] <Noobuntu> ur email
[00:08] <Noobuntu> jarray52: don't use Skype -its evil
[00:08] <heath> Kamilion|2, what do you mean lacking firmware?
[00:09] <jarray52> Noobuntu: Interviewer wants to call on Skype. I don't have much choice.
[00:09] <Kamilion|2> heath: you may need a firmware image for the device, if it doesn't include a flash chip on the board itself. Ralink's notoriously cheap.
[00:10] <Kamilion|2> heath: many wireless adapters have removed their flash chips and require their firmware to be loaded by the drivers interacting with them
[00:10] <Noobuntu> jarray52: hmm..really sorry - Skype is one bad piece of software, especially on Linux
[00:11] <Kamilion|2> jarray52: the problem is likely not with pulseaudio, but with the ALSA drivers for your card.
[00:12] <jarray52> Kamilion|2: What's the workaround for this problem?
[00:12] <Kamilion|2> jarray52: try updating to the latest skype beta that has direct pulseaudio support (versus skype 2.x for linux using pulseaudio's ALSA passthrough/emulation/whateveritis
[00:12] <heath> Kamilion|2, so is there no super easy install for this?
[00:13] <Kamilion|2> heath: *shrug* I have no experience with that paticular model; only general experience with Ralinks.
[00:13] <heath> is there no easy was with ralinks?
[00:15] <Kamilion|2> heath: Most of the older ones I have 'just work' now. (that was not always the case)
[00:15] <jarray52> Kamilion|2: I have skype version <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:15] <Kamilion|2> jarray52: then removing pulseaudio is only going to make things worse, as I've heard skype 4.x no longer has direct support for ALSA, but uses libpulse instead.
[00:16] <blackshirt> skype works bad on linux
[00:16] <Kamilion|2> no -- skype just plain works bad.
[00:16] <Kamilion|2> What do you expect from Microsoft software? Reliability?
[00:16] <blackshirt> :d
[00:18] <Kamilion|2> jarray52: anyway -- there this thing, I've heard of it but never seen one... they called it a 'tele phone'... some weird thing you plug into the wall. Archaic, I know, but perhaps you might consider tracking one down to deal with your interviewer :3
[00:25] <usr13> Skype works.  I use it for my home phone.
[00:27]  * Kamilion|2 shrugs
[00:27] <Kamilion|2> I find that the Android version of Skype works the best.
[00:29] <blackshirt> thats sound greats

[00:37] <OerHeks> XiaolinDraconis, i think you need chmod to make it executable > sudo chmod +x <filename>
[00:38] <client_alive> hey, just a curious thing - is there any way to open a new tab and cd to a location but from the command line? Using lxterminal. I know about ^t and how to do from the gui of that terminal but I wonder if there is a command I can issue that will open a new tab.
[00:40] <histo1> client_alive: you have ctrl+altF1-F6 as ttys  is that what you mean?
[00:41] <histo1> client_alive: if you want tabs in a tty or split screen I would install screen and use that.
[00:41] <client_alive> histo1: not exactly. what I was wondering is if there is a command I can type on the comand line that will open a new tab
[00:41] <histo> client_alive: in what?
[00:41] <OerHeks> it used to be: gnome-terminal --tab (for a new tab)
[00:42] <histo> client_alive: are you actually in a tty or in a terminal?
[00:42] <client_alive> well, right now I'm using lxterminal but could use a different terminal
[00:42] <client_alive> in lxterminal
[00:42] <OerHeks> try lxterminal --tab ?
[00:42] <histo> client_alive: try lxterminal --tab   or man lxterminal may show the option to open a new tab. Ctrl+t will do it too
[00:43] <histo> client_alive: sorry maybe ctrl+shift+t for that keyboard shortcut
[00:44] <AcidPoison> hello
[00:44] <client_alive> from the lxterminal man page the thing looks pretty skimpy (only about 4 options you can use with it).
[00:44] <client_alive> lxterminal --t or lxterminal --tab do nothing but bring up the help page
[00:46] <tiglionabbit> What do I need to install so vlc can encode mp4v?
[00:46] <Kamilion|2> ClientAlive: apt-get install gnome-terminal?
[00:46] <client_alive> histo: prolly I'd have to use a different terminal that's more complete. The reason it seemed desireable was if you string more then one command with that. Say, for instance you want to cd to a directory and open a file in nano all in another tab. So you write out a command on the command line of the tab you are in and poof! there it ALL is.
[00:46] <Kamilion|2> ClientAlive: they're both libvte based, so there's not much difference
[00:46] <tiglionabbit> I'm trying to encode mp4v but it says "cannot find video encoder (module:any fourcc:mp4v)"
[00:47] <bazhang> tiglionabbit, get handbrake
[00:47] <bazhang> !handbrake | tiglionabbit
[00:47] <client_alive> Kamilion|2: I see
[00:47] <client_alive> well I'll check around, thx for the input
[00:49] <tiglionabbit> bazhang, no it has to be vlc
[00:49] <bazhang> tiglionabbit, why
[00:50] <tiglionabbit> bazhang, has to be streaming
[00:50] <zykotick9> tiglionabbit: you believe you can stream (and encode at the same time) to mp4, good luck with that.
[00:51] <tiglionabbit> zykotick9, no, I'm streaming it into an asf container :P
[00:51] <histo> client_alive: I would look into screen   it's a wonderfull app that can do what you want and much more.
[00:51] <tiglionabbit> actually, what I really want is msmpeg4v3
[00:51] <blackshirt> i don't know what is mp4v is?
[00:52] <bazhang> http://wiki.videolan.org/MPEG-4 check the example tiglionabbit
[00:52] <client_alive> histo: I thought screen was a window manager (as in - effected the entire system). No?
[00:52] <tiglionabbit> I'm doing that but the mp4v encoder isn't found for some reason
[00:53] <tiglionabbit> I think my setup is screwed up somehow
[00:53] <zykotick9> client_alive: lol, i would say screen is my favourite "window manager" but the WM i'm using is awesome.  (screen is for terminal programs)
[00:53] <blackshirt> lol
[00:54] <client_alive> zykotick9: right on. If I'd known that I would have gotten it long before. I looked at it once on wikipedia but must have misunderstood what it is.  thx   :)
[00:54] <zykotick9> client_alive: screen is amazing!!!
[00:54] <client_alive> sounds like it
[00:56] <rds> hai guys , what is this operator  called (->) ??
[00:56] <GunArm> is it possible to alias apt-get to apt-get -y ?
[00:56] <dr_willis> Which operator? :)  you  the >   ?
[00:56] <dr_willis> GunArm:  yes..
[00:56] <dr_willis> GunArm:  but may notbe a good idea.
[00:56] <blackshirt> i think yes
[00:56] <rds> dr_willis,  -> in php ?
[00:56] <GunArm> but you have to type sudo infront so alias doesnt work, and you cant do alias 'sudo apt-get'='sudo apt-get -y'
[00:57] <tiglionabbit> GunArm, of course
[00:57] <zykotick9> dr_willis: s/but may not/is not/
[00:57] <rds> dr_willis,  (->) in php ?
[00:57] <dr_willis> rds:  i dont do php. i suggest finding a php guide.
[00:58] <blackshirt> rds, what you mean?
[00:58] <GunArm> tiglionabbit: how?
[00:58] <redwarriors25> any1 here
[00:59] <blackshirt> yes
[00:59] <rds> blackshirt, i found this "->" operator  while learning php !
[00:59] <rds> blackshirt,  what is it called ?
[00:59] <tiglionabbit> GunArm, doesn't this work?  alias apt-get="apt-get -y"
[00:59] <sambagirl> can someone tell me how the hell to get a shell in 11.04? i am so sorry i installed this upgrade....grr cant even figure out where to find a shell!

[01:01] <bazhang> tiglionabbit, thats wrong
[01:01] <blackshirt> sambagirl, search for gnome-terminal

[01:01] <blackshirt> Rds, yes
[01:01] <redwarriors25> but the problem i didnt know the password
[01:01] <tiglionabbit> bazhang, why?
[01:01] <bazhang> tiglionabbit, there is no root account enabled. use sudo
[01:01] <usr13> redwarriors25: So you have lost your user password?
[01:01] <redwarriors25> any 1 also guys support here in debian

[01:02] <bazhang> redwarriors25, you dont
[01:03] <bazhang> redwarriors25, use sudo
[01:04] <sambagirl> maybe i will go back to ubuntu hoary or run http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/ it's easier to work with...
[01:04] <usr13> sambagirl: whatsamatter?
[01:05] <blackshirt> why
[01:05] <usr13> sambagirl: What's so hard about Ctrl-ALt-t  ?
[01:06] <Nisstyre> sambagirl: you think plan9 is easier to work with?
[01:06] <sambagirl> usr13 why should i have to use 3 fingers when i can just press an icon on my panel?
[01:06] <usr13> sambagirl: You can if you want to.
[01:06] <blackshirt> sambagirl, you can drop it to panel
[01:06] <usr13> sambagirl: Are you using unity?
[01:07] <sambagirl> usr13 why can't i have my sticky notes on my panel? have my weather on my panel? have system monitor on my panel? have my rolling eyes on my panel? understand?
[01:07] <sambagirl> usr13 if looks more like tragedy
[01:08] <sambagirl> is 10.04 still supported?
[01:08] <usr13> Yea, well, maybe you would like a different Desktop Environment?  Try xfce4 ?
[01:08] <bazhang> !notunity | sambagirl
[01:08] <usr13> sambagirl: yes
[01:08] <simo_n> hi guys , just moved thhe wubi install with bcbc script and instruction from the forum, the old used partirion still not empy , what i should do with it ? i created new partitions when i moved it
[01:09] <bazhang> simo_n, was the move successful?
[01:09] <simo_n> yes
[01:09] <sambagirl> i actually located a way to load all kinds of different desktop managers
[01:09] <usr13> sambagirl: Take a look at http://xubuntu.org/   Maybe that would be more to your liking.
[01:09] <sambagirl> i'm going to play with them
[01:09] <usr13> sambagirl: if so, just do  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[01:09] <simo_n> i updated it and updated the grub
[01:09] <cornell> Good evening all
[01:09] <bazhang> simo_n, so use gparted live cd for the other partition, either for storage, or resize existing
[01:09] <Jak_Atackka> Okay, I am having an extremely frustrating bug. My computer is crashing upwards of 20 times per day, and I suspect it's the video driver
[01:10] <sambagirl> well i have tried pinguyos snowlinux puppy debian commodore os vision (awesome), elive, you name it.
[01:10] <sambagirl> mandrake all kinds
[01:10] <Jak_Atackka> I'm using Intel HD Graphics 4000
[01:10] <sambagirl> slackware i'm experienced
[01:10] <simo_n> bazhang i want to verify before to delete the old parttion , how i can plz ?
[01:10] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: Tell me more.
[01:10] <bazhang> simo_n, verify the new wubi move?
[01:11] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: Well, that's about it. It frequently freezes. It crashes not just the video, but the entire computer as well, as indicated by the complete lack of RAM activity once the video freezes
[01:11] <simo_n> verify if everything is alright and ubuntu is loadiing from the new partitions
[01:11] <bazhang> simo_n, boot into it
[01:11] <simo_n> im in it now
[01:11] <simo_n> :)
[01:11] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: memtest
[01:11] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: Already have. Came back spotless
[01:11] <cornell> I've a laptop with Ubuntu 12.4 on it.  I'm looking to use XFCE instead of Unity(?).  Found a site that says to apt-get update/apt-get install xfce4.  Then it says "log out and change your session to XFCE".  I've logged out and back in... but I don't see how to change my session.  Any help?
[01:12] <bazhang> simo_n, so what did you need to test exactly
[01:12] <simo_n> any command to see the whole things ?
[01:12] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: I'm running Intel HD Graphics 4000 (which is integrated into the processor), if that helps
[01:12] <simo_n> partitions in which is ubntu residing
[01:12] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: Most total system lockups are due to bad RAM.
[01:12] <bazhang> simo_n, the command sudo fdisk -l
[01:12] <ox1de> one thing I would like to express to the ubuntu programmers is that ubuntu should include better music visualizer software
[01:13] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: Try another video card.
[01:13] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: I'm dual-booting Windows 7, and I have zero freezeups
[01:13] <ox1de> visualizers are my favorite software so please make the upgrade
[01:13] <bazhang> ox1de, suggest it on brainstorm
[01:13] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: I don't have any other video cards
[01:13] <ox1de> is that a channel?
[01:13] <bazhang> !brainstorm | ox1de
[01:13] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: buy one
[01:13] <sambagirl> can you install multiple desktop managers and then choose which one you want to at any given time ?
[01:13] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: No s***.
[01:13] <bazhang> sambagirl, of course
[01:13] <simo_n> bazhang may i post the results here ?
[01:13] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: I have no money, and won't for many months. Buying a video card isn't an option
[01:13] <cornell> How bazhang?
[01:14] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: I've got a neighbor that has a whole box full.  I should give you his phone number ;)
[01:14] <dr_willis> sambagirl:  yes. thats a rather trivial thing. ;)
[01:14] <bazhang> simo_n, at paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url
[01:14] <simo_n> super
[01:14] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: I live in the middle of the wilderness.
[01:14] <bazhang> cornell, the different DE/wm?
[01:15] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: I'm in a rural area too.  (My friend gets his hardware from a salvage yard.)
[01:15] <simo_n> service not loainf
[01:15] <cornell> I'm trying to use XFCE on my Ubuntu 12.  I've installed, but don't know how to switch to it, bazhang
[01:15] <sambagirl> i would not consider it trivial at all. that should be an option that new users "not me ofcourse" but new people unexperienced with unix/linux would have as an installation option and there should be a sample during installation that they can experience to better make a initial decision.
[01:15] <simo_n> loading
[01:15] <Jak_Atackka> usr13: No salvage yards within 50 miles
[01:16] <bazhang> usr13, lets rule out buy new hardware as a support advice please
[01:16] <usr13> Jak_Atackka: ebay
[01:16] <bazhang> usr13, please
[01:16] <Jak_Atackka> usrr13: What bazhang said
[01:16] <usr13> bazhang: Ok.    Thank you bizhang.
[01:17] <bazhang> !behelpful | usr13
[01:17] <Jak_Atackka> Well, then. bazhang, I'm getting frequent system freezes, and I'm certain that it's my video card
[01:17] <bazhang> cornell, at the login window
[01:18] <usr13> bazhang: I know the guidelines.
[01:18] <Jak_Atackka> bazhang, well, 99% certain
[01:18] <bazhang> Jak_Atackka, what card and what driver
[01:18] <Jak_Atackka> bazhang, Intel HD Graphics 4000, and whatever driver came bundled with the OS
[01:18] <simo_n> bazhang paste.ubuntu.com dooesnt load, need a reboot maybe :)
[01:19] <bazhang> Jak_Atackka, does additional drivers offer any?
[01:19] <sambagirl> everytime i try to install looking glass core it cant locate it
[01:19] <Jak_Atackka> bazhang, there are no additional drivers. Driver support for the Intel HD 4000 is very sparse
[01:19] <bazhang> sambagirl, install from where
[01:20] <Jak_Atackka> Ah crap, I have to go
[01:20] <sambagirl> your right i forgot to add the list
[01:20] <sambagirl> sorry
[01:20] <bazhang> sambagirl, the repo?
[01:20] <marshall> hey ubuntu
[01:20] <cornell> Ah, thanks bazhang.  I'd looked about before, didn't find it.  Right (or was it left) clicking on the icon in the upper right of the box with my userid and password request gets me the list.
[01:22] <cornell> Just to confirm my understanding... XFCE and Gnome are GUI systems, window managers(?).  The underlying filesystem, installed software, etc. remains and is available (easy or difficult) from either.  Correct?
[01:22] <bazhang> cornell, DE (desktop environments)
[01:22] <marshall> i would like to ssh into my server without having to type my password, but I've added my id_rsa.pub to my account's authorized keys on the server and I still have to type my password. why?
[01:23] <Daekdroom> cornell, they are desktop environments, and yes, the underlying filesystem and software is available from either.
[01:23] <sambagirl> enlightenment has no installation candidate...
[01:23] <bazhang> sambagirl, e17?
[01:23] <Daekdroom> sambagirl, e16 or e17
[01:23] <cornell> Thank you bazhang and Daekdroom.  XFCE doesn't wake up that pretty... but it makes sense... it's got menus !
[01:24] <sambagirl> nnot sure i am going to try e17
[01:24] <bazhang> !info e17 | sambagirl
[01:24] <sambagirl> i cant load sun's looking glass it cant befound anymore
[01:24] <sambagirl> ahh ok
[01:24] <sambagirl> how can i get to gnome 2?
[01:24] <cornell> May I ask for enlightenment...  What's the difference between a desktop environment and window manager?
[01:24] <hashem> sambagirl, check out mate
[01:25] <dr_willis> Gnome fallback mode is avail in the newest releases.. gnom,e2 is basically dead
[01:25] <sambagirl> ok
[01:25] <hashem> cornell, window manager deals with the layout of application windows on the screen
[01:25] <dr_willis> cornell:  a window maanger is a specific part of a desktop.
[01:25] <simo_n> i think the past server is down
[01:25] <cornell> k, that makes sense, thanks hashem and dr_willis
[01:25] <sambagirl> there are so many different managers i'm taking my time.
[01:25] <hashem> cornell, desktop environment often includes a window manager, but also includes commonly used applications, a common visual theme, etc
[01:25] <dr_willis> desktop = a window manager + iconmanager/launcher + file manager (normally)
[01:25] <sambagirl> thanks
[01:25] <cornell> BBIAB
[01:25] <zykotick9> cornell: DEs all have/use WMs ;)  DEs are just additional/bloat stuff.
[01:25] <bazhang> !notunity | sambagirl please have a read
[01:26] <bazhang> sambagirl, install gnome-panel
[01:26] <hashem> cornell, what's BBIAB?
[01:26] <cornell> Be Back In A Bit
[01:26] <bazhang> hashem, back in a bit
[01:26] <dr_willis> sambagirl:  what used to be the defacto site for window managers/desktops ->  http://xwinman.org/
[01:26] <dr_willis> some VERY old ones listed there. ;)
[01:27] <simo_n> bazhang i tried sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit 5 minutes ago and still waiting
[01:27] <hashem> dr_willis, is that site not updated anymore?
[01:27] <dr_willis> hashem:  no idea.
[01:27] <bazhang> simo_n, did you install pastebinit ?

[01:29] <wellwhy_> Can anybody help with a Gnome Shell problem?
[01:30] <bazhang> wellwhy_, whats the issue
[01:30] <wellwhy_> Well, I am unable to apply a theme to my gnome shell, to be very simple.
[01:30] <simo_n> bazhang http://pastebin.com/NLka8HSM
[01:31] <astropirate> I installed xmonad and then restarted. but now I am not able to log into my user account... with any DM.  I am on my guest account right now with Unity. I am running ubuntu 12.04. any advice?
[01:31] <eamon> how do I install the latest gcc?
[01:31] <bazhang> eamon, why do you need it
[01:33] <sambagirl> well i must apologize. i am very very pleased with the new ubuntu :D. it was painless to change back to the classic gnome2 interface and functionality salut!
[01:33] <wellwhy_> bazhang, I am unable to apply a theme to my Gnome shell using Gnome Tweak Tool
[01:34] <wellwhy_> I have User Theme Extensions downloaded and turned on, and sometimes it wont run. I also have the theme section greyed out for any work to be done
[01:34] <bazhang> wellwhy_, got a link for the theme?
[01:34] <wellwhy_> Sure do
[01:34] <eamon> bazhang, to compile computer pragrams
[01:34] <bazhang> eamon, Yes I know. why do you need the LATEST
[01:35] <wellwhy_> http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=google+plus+gnome#/d52alhm
[01:35] <wellwhy_> is the theme
[01:37] <Noobuntu> wellwhy_: i have replied to you how to install user themes
[01:37] <eamon> bazhang: because the older versions won't do
[01:37] <astropirate> I am loged into the guest account. how can i  su  into my normal account to fix login issues?
[01:37] <wellwhy_> Alright I will check it
[01:37] <bazhang> eamon, why is that
[01:37] <wellwhy_> I havent gotten it, it was sent by email correct?
[01:37] <Noobuntu> i have send a private message on ur other account "wellwhy" without the underscore
[01:38] <Guest48370> Does Lightread have a version out for 12.10B1?
[01:38] <wellwhy_> ah this underscore was not meant to be here
[01:38] <wellwhy_> one second ill relog
[01:38] <bazhang> Guest48370, 12.10 support in #ubuntu+1
[01:38] <simo_n> bazhang http://pastebin.com/NLka8HSM
[01:39] <wellwhy_> It seems I cant remove this underscore
[01:39] <wellwhy_> send the message to this one instead
[01:40] <Noobuntu> run this command in terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
[01:40] <astropirate> I installed xmonad and then restarted. Now i can't log inot my user account. I'm loged in as guest. How can i fix this?
[01:40] <Noobuntu> install synaptic package manager
[01:41] <Noobuntu> from synaptic install gnome-shell-extensions and gnome-shell-extensions-common
[01:41] <Noobuntu> then install user themes from extensions.gnome.org
[01:41] <zykotick9> astropirate: have you user use sudo with a gui program by chance?
[01:41] <Noobuntu> you should be then able to customize user themes
[01:41] <Noobuntu> worked for me
[01:41] <wellwhy_> I have done all of that already but it still has the theme greyed out
[01:41] <wellwhy_> are you using ubuntu 12.04?
[01:42] <eamon> bazhang: because they have regressions which affect my work and a lack of standards complience
[01:42] <zykotick9> astropirate: s/have you user/have you ever/
[01:42] <Noobuntu> check the packages from within synaptic - you may have some conflicts
[01:42] <xrfang> I am using siege to do some load testing and got "cannot allocate address" (too many socket in TIME_WAIT) error while test against a simple hello world server written in Go, but the same error does not occure while test against nginx+phpfpm, I wonder why is this?
[01:42] <astropirate> zykotick9, have I ever used sudo with a gui program?  sure
[01:42] <astropirate> but not since installing xmonad
[01:43] <wellwhy_> I cant tell what was a command and what wasnt noobuntu
[01:43] <zykotick9> astropirate: literally sudo?  using sudo with GUI programs can break your account (so you can't login) - ALWAYS use gksudo for GUI apps.
[01:43] <Noobuntu> command: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3"
[01:43] <astropirate> zykotick9, ohh wow didn't know that
[01:43] <Noobuntu> command: "sudo apt-get update"
[01:43] <astropirate> how can i fix this?
[01:43] <zykotick9> !gksudo | astropirate
[01:44] <astropirate> zykotick9, what do I do to fix this?
[01:44] <Noobuntu> install synaptic package manager from ubuntu software center
[01:44] <zykotick9> astropirate: no idea
[01:44] <astropirate> :( :( :(
[01:44] <zykotick9> astropirate: it might not be related...
[01:44] <eamon> does anyone khow to install the latest gcc?
[01:44] <simo_n> i have installed by mistake some application for launchpad, how to remove it please : Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mj-casalogic/bumblebee/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[01:44] <bazhang> eamon, dont crosspost
[01:45] <astropirate> zykotick9, i really don't think it is in this case.
[01:45] <Noobuntu> need to go now
[01:45] <wellwhy_> Alright what do I install in Synaptic Package Manager
[01:45] <astropirate> zykotick9, is there a way that i can su  into my regular account?
[01:45] <astropirate> from te guest account
[01:45] <eamon> bazhang: don't tell me what not to do.
[01:46] <zykotick9> astropirate: no idea.  i've never seen a guest account on a linux box before (i know ubuntu has had one for a while, i've just never seen/used it before)
[01:46] <astropirate> first time i've used it too
[01:48] <simo_n>   i deleted the guest account and  im unable now to lock the station since yesterday
[01:48] <simo_n> by creating new guest account, the problem isnt solved
[01:50] <randomDude> simo_n: the guest account is ephemeral. every time you login with "guest" a random use home folder and user is created.
[01:51] <simo_n> randome i never used it, when i deleted it, the lock function isnt working anymore
[01:51] <linuxuz3r> hi
[01:51] <randomDude> simo_n: point is... not sure how you deleted it. when it deletes itself when you logout of guest.
[01:52] <randomDude> simo_n: the correct way to disable guest login is to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[01:52] <randomDude> simo_n: for future reference : http://askubuntu.com/questions/62564/how-do-i-disable-the-guest-session
[01:53] <Deeewayne> I installed ubuntu-desktop on 12.04 using 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'.  How can I uninstall ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:53] <simo_n> random : sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[01:53] <simo_n> Add the following line
[01:53] <simo_n> allow-guest=false
[01:53] <simo_n> its what i did yesterday
[01:53] <randomDude> simo_n: use gksu or gksudo when prefixing ui apps with sudo.
[01:53] <simo_n> i didnt deleted but disabled , my mistake sorry
[01:54] <eleazar> hey guys, i bought an ssd to move my ubuntu install onto. what's the best way to move my current ubuntu installation to the new hard drive? :\
[01:54] <Deeewayne> I guess its apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, right?
[01:54] <sambagirl> how do you initiate compiz in 11.04 with gnome 2 as your manager?
[01:55] <randomDude> simo_n: so you didn't delete anything then ? perhaps you inserted the allow-guest line in the wrong place ?
[01:55] <simo_n> i will check
[01:55] <randomDude> Deeewayne: probably not, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that describes a list of other packages to install.
[01:55] <sambagirl> before under appearance you had an additional option for  visual affects
[01:55] <bazhang> Deeewayne, thats a metapackage, so no
[01:56] <Deeewayne> is there an easy way to remove it?
[01:56] <bazhang> Deeewayne, what other DE did you have installed
[01:56] <Deeewayne> I think I would prefer to go back to console only since its a server
[01:57] <simo_n> randoom :  gksudo /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf  ?
[01:57] <randomDude> Deeewayne: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2226/what-exactly-is-in-ubuntu-desktop
[01:57] <randomDude> simo_n: gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[01:57] <simo_n> ty
[01:58] <simo_n> output : [SeatDefaults]
[01:58] <simo_n> user-session=ubuntu

[01:58] <FloodBot1> simo_n: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:59] <Deeewayne> randomDude, the UI seems pretty slow on my box w/ 16 GB RAM
[02:00] <cornell> Cool... the XFCE screen saver is snowflakes ;-)
[02:01] <threepoint> Is it possible to copy from  a device only visible on lsusb?
[02:01] <simo_n> random how to use synaptic broken packages repair please ?
[02:02] <XiaolinDraconis> askubuntu.com/questions/186730/chromium-quicklist-profiles-not-working-any-ideas
[02:02] <cornell> Besides the lack of menus, another thing that bugged me about the new DE... it keeps telling me about software that's available for download.  Get a screen with recently used applications, AND software you can download.  Get a screen with your installed applications, AND software you can download.
[02:04] <cornell> Interesting...  I start the Update Manager, there are updates available... I hit install, and they start installing.  No prompt for password.
[02:05] <OerHeks> cornell correct, unless it is a kernel update
[02:06] <cornell> Is that a new Ubuntu behavior, or is it XFCE?
[02:06] <OerHeks> new behaviour indeed
[02:07] <simo_n> cornell what about a new install
[02:08] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/86773/update-manager-doesnt-ask-for-a-password
[02:08] <cornell> What, simo_n?  I've a new Laptop, with Windows 7, I installed Ubuntu 12 dual boot on it.
[02:08] <simo_n> cornell i mean what about installing a frech install of ubuntu
[02:09] <cornell> Well... I kind of have a fresh install.  The laptop's new
[02:09] <simo_n> not the laptop :) the os :)
[02:09] <simo_n> ubuntu
[02:10] <tambu> Upgraded to 12.10 and for some reason now ubuntu thinks I have two displays and it's displaying them on top of each other.. (overlayed) Where would these two devices be configured?
[02:10] <cornell> Thanks OerHeks.  Nice link.  Points out that the lack of challenge is only when updating existing.  It's still needs password for new software.
[02:10] <OerHeks> cornell correct, or a kernel update
[02:12] <cornell> simo_n: New laptop, new OS. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[02:12] <kingCrawlerx> nice
[02:12] <kingCrawlerx> how much ram?
[02:15] <cornell> kingCrawlerx: Me... New laptop reports 5.7 Gig RAM.  500 Gig hard-drive, 50-50 Windows-Ubuntu.
[02:16] <kingCrawlerx> i don't get why my ubuntu 12.04 install reports 7.7 gb ram
[02:16] <simo_n> cornell what i mean is to reinstall ubuntu
[02:16] <kingCrawlerx> i think i have more
[02:16] <kingCrawlerx> never mind i only have 8 gb ram
[02:16] <OerHeks> kingCrawlerx, some machines have an onboard GPU, it uses system memory
[02:17] <kingCrawlerx> true. i was mistaken
[02:17] <kingCrawlerx> i thought I had 12 gb ram
[02:17] <kingCrawlerx> but my laptop with ubuntu on it doesn't have that many slots
[02:18] <needhelp1>  Hello all, im helping to pull some data for Ubuntu Beta releases and have a very short survey up on google documents found here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFdSTUgzREoyeFZNSWRHSjlXMGYteGc6MQ    Anyone interested please take the survey and feel free to share the link. The results will be published in two weeks to the public domain.
[02:18] <needhelp1> any help would be greatly appreciated
[02:18] <OerHeks> needhelp1, support for QQ 12.10 in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[02:18] <OerHeks> no polling here please
[02:19] <needhelp1> OerHeks, np, thanks for the heads up
[02:19] <OerHeks> yw
[02:24] <simo_n> oerheks i moved ubuntu install with wubi with bcbc script and instructions, the old partitions still not empty , the move was succeful, what i should do with the old partition ?
[02:25] <zombieROT> I have an mp4 video shot from my phone that has a bad frame. I can open it in vlc and the video will freeze at 5:00 but if I scroll past the corrupted frame it plays. I can't fix it with avidemux because it wont let me go past the corrupted part.
[02:26] <OerHeks> simo_n, you can delete them, if they are not mounted. if they are, boot from live cd, open gparted and delete those and re-use them..
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> simo_n, Wubi just makes a file did you put that in a partition outside the usual C: partition?
[02:27] <OerHeks> oh, wubi partition on ntfs?
[02:27] <wilee-nilee> originally
[02:27] <simo_n> wilee yes i installed wubi in new created partition H with 20 giga, now 10 giga is used in it
[02:28] <wilee-nilee> simo_n, the wubi that you copied the original is just a file remove with add remove in windows or the remove in the file.\
[02:29] <simo_n> wont this hurt anything >
[02:29] <simo_n> ?
[02:30] <wilee-nilee> simo_n, If it is a wubi it was running independent of windows except for being a stanza in its boot menu, you remove it through windows to remove that stanza, at least to do it in one step.
[02:30] <simo_n> im asking because im a noob, if i delete it and stuck in grub console with errors i wont get out from it
[02:31] <tambu> hrm did they move the 2D mode for Unity on 12.10? can't find it on login screen
[02:31] <simo_n> i will reboot to win7 and remove it
[02:31] <OerHeks> tambu yes ubuntu dropped 2D in QQ 12.10
[02:31] <bazhang> OerHeks, thats not right
[02:32] <tambu> OerHeks: oh dear.. soo if your graphics card is having issues running it.. what your SOL?
[02:32] <wilee-nilee> simo_n, You  have the original and the copy to a partition as I understand this.  You also made the original and put it in a partition outside of the windows OS right.
[02:32] <bazhang> tambu, 12.10 support in #ubuntu+1
[02:33] <nature> what is good download tool?
[02:35] <cornell> Oh, simo_not here any longer?

[02:37] <nature> move
[02:37] <nature> movie
[02:37] <bazhang> nature, move? whats that
[02:40] <simo_n> everything allright :) thanks wilee, i installed by mistake a launchpade thing, how i can remove it, i see its error when i make software update
[02:41] <bazhang> simo_n, either in synaptic package manager, or by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list directly
[02:41] <simo_n> an example
[02:41] <simo_n> Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mj-casalogic/bumblebee/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[02:42] <simo_n> open synaptic and look for bumblebee in the search ?
[02:42] <cornell> Hi simo_n... I understand that you're suggesting I install Ubuntu.  I'm trying to express that I've just installed Ubuntu, hence re-installing would be moot. at this time.
[02:42] <bazhang> simo_n, look in software sources, or gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in fron t of the offending line(s)
[02:43] <simo_n> this will not uninstall this bumblee but only stop it from gettinng updated
[02:44] <wilee-nilee> simo_n, here is an explanation of the ways of removing a ppa including a purge that removes added packages that came with the original ppa install.   http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/how-to-use-launchpad-ppa-add-remove.html
[02:45] <Ozdemon> How can I find the cpu multiplier in an amd system? I have tried cat /proc/cpuinfo, but that doesn't give me the info AFAIK.
[02:46] <bazhang> simo_n, so install ppa-purge
[02:46] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | simo_n
[02:46] <h22turbo> Ozdemon: the bios?
[02:46] <Noobuntu> sudo apt-get purge?
[02:47] <simo_n> i have a pc not a launchpad ...sorry if ii dont understand u
[02:48] <Ozdemon> heeturbo, do you mean look in the bios rather than thru the terminal? I thought there might be some cmd or app like cpu-z for windoze.
[02:48] <bazhang> simo_n, read the link above
[02:50] <dsnyders> Thunderbird has a long way to go in managing group email lists.  Is there an email program better suited to group management?
[02:51] <pr0metheu5> Hey guys. I can't decrease my brightness more than one step in Ubuntu. I'm on a Samsung laptop, and it's 64 bit.
[02:51] <pr0metheu5> Using the FN keys, that is.
[02:51] <pr0metheu5> Increasing/decreasing sound works perfectly fine. It's just the brightness, only goes up or down one step.
[02:52] <tonsofpcs> pr0metheu5: try increasing it like 20 presses then decreasing 20 presses...
[02:52] <dsnyders> pr0metheu5, can't help, but hopefully that one step doesn't bring you from full-on to full-off.
[02:52] <tonsofpcs> I know on initial load on one of my machines it needed to be 'shown' the scale
[02:53] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: did you try add acpi_backlight=vendor to your kernel when booting?
[02:53] <pr0metheu5> No, it's not full on or off. It's either full brightness, or slightly less brightness.
[02:53] <pr0metheu5> No, Stanley00
[02:53] <pr0metheu5> tonsofpcs: doesn't do anything.
[02:53] <Ozdemon> Okay, I will look in the bios tks. Bye
[02:53] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: well, you should try it
[02:53] <pr0metheu5> I can adjust brightness fine using the GUI.
[02:53] <pr0metheu5> Stanley00: how do I do it?
[02:54] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: wait a min, I need some search :D
[02:54] <pr0metheu5> Stanley00: ok, thank you.
[02:54] <pr0metheu5> it's a bug in the recent kernel, isn't it? >_<
[02:54] <pr0metheu5> also, having a samsung laptop does not help at all.
[02:55] <dsnyders> pr0metheu5, are you holding it down or repeatedly pressing it?
[02:55] <pr0metheu5> dsnyders: tried both
[02:55] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: this link should help http://askubuntu.com/questions/128463/brightness-controls-dont-work-on-an-acer-4741g
[02:56] <pr0metheu5> Thing is, I haven't actually even installed Ubuntu yet. I tried to see if the FN keys worked fine in Ubuntu first, and then Fedora second. The problem exists in both distros, which leads me to believe it's the kernal.
[02:56] <pr0metheu5> kernel*
[02:58] <extropy> pr0metheu5: see xev, xbindkeys, xdotool, and "eject cdrom"
[02:58] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: so, you can set that manually when boot up, on ubuntu, press F6 will bring you a line to edit, add "acpi_..." at the end off that line
[02:59] <pr0metheu5> "acpi_osi=samsung" right?
[02:59] <pr0metheu5> no, just acpi_osi=
[03:00] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: "acpi_backlight=vendor" is more general
[03:00] <pr0metheu5> yes, so I see
[03:01] <XiaolinDraconis> askubuntu.com/questions/186730/chromium-quicklist-profiles-not-working-any-ideas
[03:01] <pr0metheu5> I just have to add it to /etc/default/grub

[03:01] <XiaolinDraconis> some help please? askubuntu.com/questions/186730/chromium-quicklist-profiles-not-working-any-ideas
[03:02] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, no need to repost so quickly
[03:03] <XiaolinDraconis> realized i had been posting the link without letting anyone know i needed help
[03:03] <pr0metheu5> thanks for all the help, guys, you people are saints.

[03:10] <njr> Hi, I have a 11.10 live cd, How do I boot into the curses installer (the X-based on isnt working)
[03:10] <bazhang> simo_n, in which directory
[03:11] <bazhang> njr, the alternate one you mean?
[03:11] <bazhang> !alternate | njr this one?
[03:11] <simo_n> /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:11] <bazhang> simo_n, what about sources.list.d
[03:11] <simo_n> gksudo  too ?
[03:11] <bazhang> simo_n, sure
[03:12] <njr> bazhang: is it possible to use the alternate installer from the live cd ? I have command line access though the virtual terminals
[03:12] <pr0metheu5> Stanley00: I just booted ubuntu live and changed the boot options to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" after splash --
[03:13] <simo_n> nothing happen  sudo gksudo sources.list.d
[03:13] <pr0metheu5> I added that bit and just pressed enter, and it booted up. But nothing changed..
[03:13] <bazhang> njr, not to my knowledge; did you check the login screen options?
[03:13] <bazhang> simo_n, gksudo gedit
[03:13] <linuxdude> Hello
[03:13] <bazhang> simo_n, you need a text editor
[03:15] <simo_n> bazhang can you recommend a good one plz
[03:15] <linuxdude> Vim
[03:15] <bazhang> simo_n, I just told you: gksudo gedit
[03:16] <bazhang> simo_n, gedit is the text editor
[03:16] <Stanley00> pr0metheu5: oh, after the "--", I'm not sure but maybe it have to be put before the "--" and maybe you should add "acpi=linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
[03:16] <simo_n> its gave me a blank  page  gksudo gedit sources.list.d
[03:16] <bazhang> simo_n, you are not using the correct path
[03:17] <simo_n> i will redo the link above another time

[03:20] <crimsonmane> oh you're right. regardless every distro you can do software sources from the software manager or equiv.
[03:20] <bazhang> crimsonmane, this is gnome we are discussing, so he wont have that
[03:20] <zymaster> Hey just curious anyone know a good way to transfer all software and files to a new computer? I am going to get a new computer and don't feel like installing all m y old software old over again even if I get to keep my home folder
[03:20] <zymaster> all over again*
[03:21] <digitaljedi> hey guys
[03:21] <crimsonmane> zymaster: there's a backup program... open your Dash and type "back" and it should appear
[03:21] <simo_n> zynet connect them  ( wifi network for example) and transfer them between the 2 pc
[03:22] <zymaster> crimsonmane thanks, also I am going to be dula booting windows 8 and ubuntu on this machine so this won't erase my windows 8 stuff and other partitions will it? Just so that I don't get screemed at with insults I would like to clarify I do not like windows but I need it to run software that doesnt work in wine.
[03:23] <crimsonmane> zymaster: why would performing a backup cause things to disappear?
[03:23] <client_alive> I need to run unison file synchronizer on a file owned by root. My ssh is configured to allow root login so using ssh manually I can sudo or su and do whatever I need to with scp (one time) but now I need to know how to set up unison so it can handle that file and not have any problems. Does anyone know how I would go about this?
[03:24] <zymaster> Didn't know if restoring from backup would restore the entire computer and not just the partition ubuntu is running on
[03:24] <crimsonmane> use the same app to restore... and you've nothing to worry about.
[03:24] <crimsonmane> it only backs up what you tell it to. your home folder and custom installed programs
[03:25] <zymaster> ok thanks crimsonmane love this channel such fast useful support and help for free.
[03:25] <crimsonmane> i think it's called Nepomuk?
[03:26] <zymaster> the one installed with ubuntu looks like its called deja-dup but not 100% sure
[03:26] <crimsonmane> yeah same thing
[03:26] <zymaster> ok good I will use that when I get my new computer thanks for the help
[03:28] <njr> bazhang: manage to get it working on the low graphics mode, thanks
[03:29] <daanish> ubuntu installer isn't giving me an option to "install alongside windows" what gives?
[03:30] <daanish> it's only either "replace," or "something else."
[03:30] <crimsonmane> "something else"
[03:30] <jinjonBoo> lol
[03:30] <daanish> I haven't ever done this manually before, that's why I'm skeptic.
[03:30] <daanish> For instance, where does the bootloader go?
[03:30] <crimsonmane> you're not skeptic. you're afraid. bootloader will overwrite windows bootloader, but it's supposed to go in the same spot i think.
[03:31] <daanish> Well, yeah, I am scared.
[03:31] <daanish> I thought so too, but does it?
[03:31] <wilee-nilee> !dualbooting
[03:31] <jinjonBoo> daanish: i would reccomend making 2 partitions: one for Win, one for ubuntu. install Win on 1rst partition, then install ubuntu on 2nd partition. he makes everything for you, i guess
[03:31] <crimsonmane> yes and it "should" automagically put the windows boot option there.
[03:32] <daanish> Nope. It puts /dev/sdb automatically there, which I can only make out to be the flashdrive I'm using to install it.
[03:32] <jinjonBoo> including the bootloader, which overwrites the windows one
[03:32] <jinjonBoo> i would definately NOT reccomend installing windows AFTER ubuntu, cuz they mess all the boot
[03:32] <jinjonBoo> *they - meaning Microsoft
[03:32] <daanish> Not doing that at all
[03:33] <jinjonBoo> I know, it's just a bonus info :P
[03:33] <daanish> So, location for boot loader installation, should I just pick "sda 1 - Windows 7 (Loader)"
[03:33] <wilee-nilee> daanish, Do you have the windows backed up, a clone?
[03:33] <daanish> Nope.
[03:33] <loadid_> not sda1, just /dev/sda
[03:34] <wilee-nilee> daanish, you need to have that or at the least a way to reload or install in case you need to.
[03:34] <jinjonBoo> daanish: i'm really not sure, you should ask someone else, sorry. i'm just a newbie :)
[03:34] <simo_n> thanks all :)
[03:35] <daanish> wilee-nilee: I have windows install media ready, so that's not 'much' of an issue.
[03:35] <daanish> So, the boot loader is supposed to go to the root of the hard drive. "/dev/sda" then, right?
[03:35] <wilee-nilee> daanish, Cool you need to be aware of the types of partitions and the limit to the amount allowed on a single HD.
[03:36] <daanish> types, as in swap, boot, recovery, etc?
[03:37] <wilee-nilee> daaaan, primary only 4 allowed or up to 3 primaries with a extended holding logicals for the ubuntu install.
[03:37] <sfears> yes daanish, boot loader to root of hard drive
[03:38] <wilee-nilee> daanish, ^^^^
[03:38] <daanish> Thanks, you guys.
[03:39] <daanish> wilee-nilee: I plan on reading more about hard disk partitions and how memory is used in linux sometime.
[03:39] <SolarAquarion> http://privatepaste.com/76ec175a69
[03:39] <daanish> aah, what about swap area?
[03:39] <wilee-nilee> daanish, Cool my only concern here is that you do not exceed the partitions allowed and make your HD dynamic
[03:40] <daanish> I plan on installing it on /dev/sda4.. so file system should be ext4, right?
[03:40] <daanish> but what should the mount point to it be?
[03:41] <SolarAquarion> Can someone help me with my problem http://privatepaste.com/76ec175a69
[03:41] <SolarAquarion> Opera will not install
[03:45] <daanish> Oh, so wherever it's being installed should be mounted to "/"
[03:46] <daanish> right?
[03:46] <Noobuntu> daanish: its generally a good idea to have mount /, /usr, /home and /swap on separate partitions
[03:46] <wilee-nilee> daanish, you in the something other option?
[03:47] <Noobuntu> but since you are just starting out, just mount / on /dev/sda4
[03:47] <Noobuntu> do you have a separate partition identified for swap?
[03:48] <daanish> Noobuntu, I was planning on working on the swap after figuring out what the main partition mounts to
[03:48] <daanish> I'm not making seperate partitions for each /home, etc, because I'm trying to dual boot (and yes, because I'm just starting out with this.)
[03:48] <Noobuntu> ok -- how much is ur RAM?
[03:48] <daanish> 4GB
[03:48] <daanish> Rule of thumb, swap = ram x 2
[03:48] <himanshu_linux> Hi, i want to know about the portioning of hard disk . And about, what can delete my files ?
[03:48] <Noobuntu> alright - so your swap shouuld be atelast 4 GB in size
[03:48] <daanish> not twice that of ram, the same?
[03:49] <Noobuntu> no - ram x 2 would be overkill - it will hardly be used
[03:49] <daanish> Ok.
[03:49] <Noobuntu> just use the same size as that of RAM if you are  planning to use hibernate
[03:49] <daanish> Thanks, Noobuntu
[03:49] <Noobuntu> you are welcome
[03:50] <daanish> Quick question, you think 68GB is enough for an ubuntu install?
[03:51] <Noobuntu> that would depend on how you plan to use it
[03:51] <daanish> Bah humbug.. I can never remember if I ran out of space on my last escapade with linux.
[03:51] <Noobuntu> if you are asking only about the operating system space requirements then 68GB is of course more than enough
[03:51] <ClientAlive> how do I change the umask in ubuntu 12.04? It isn't through /etc/profile anymore as that file says something about a pam_umask. I know nothing about pam modules. What do I actually do to changet the umask?
[03:52] <daanish> Noobuntu, I'm just worried because of all the constant updates?
[03:52] <Noobuntu> 68 GB would be enough
[03:52] <daanish> And I'm dual booting, so most of the media and other trash would be in a third ntfs partition..
[03:53] <Noobuntu> as I said - for the system files and basic applications 68 GB is quite sufficient
[03:53] <Noobuntu> the rest depends on what u plan to dump in
[03:53] <daanish> What are the significant advantages of having /home on a seperate partition?
[03:54] <Sokel> daanish: If you trash the other partitions, you can recover your stuff.
[03:54] <Noobuntu> if you have to wipe out ur OS sometime later - and it happens many times when we accidentally break something for good
[03:54] <Noobuntu> u will lose ur user customizations and stuff
[03:54] <daanish> Good point. How much space should be designated for that? I had to buy a new HD a few months ago, I knew I should've gotten something bigger than 320 GB ...
[03:54] <himanshu_linux> hi help me with hard disk partition ? i want to know about it .
[03:55] <Noobuntu> on the other hand if u have a separate /home partition u can just reinstall afresh and mount the same partition as /home
[03:55] <Sokel> daanish: If you have a LOT of data, give it a good size.
[03:55] <daanish> himanshu_linux: I'm here for the same reason. This helped me quite a bit: http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#0
[03:55] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruptionevery cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean install('nomodeset' fixes this but then compiz is unworkable)?
[03:55] <Noobuntu> depends on how u plan to use it daanish
[03:55] <Sokel> ClientAlive: If you want to change it, it HAS to be in /etc/profile.
[03:55] <Noobuntu> set around 20GB aside for OS and other basic apps
[03:55] <Noobuntu> rest is upto u
[03:57] <daanish> Thanks a lot, you guys!
[03:58] <himanshu_linux> daanish : i want to know how much partition i can do ?
[03:58] <daanish> As many as you want, I suppose? Will it be just Linux, or dual boot between windows and linux?
[03:58] <adie> I am having an issue with my gpu :(
[03:58] <adie> with the open source drivers, unity 3d fails to start up properly and freezes on boot
[03:59] <adie> with the official drivers from AMD, all my 3d games flicker black
[03:59] <adie> and perform poorly :|
[03:59] <himanshu_linux> daanish : ok .. what can lose the data ?
[04:00] <daanish> himanshu_linux: Formatting a drive, or making any linux based changes to it will most probably format it and make you lose date.
[04:03] <c_smith> Hi, I'm trying to connect to a media server on my network that is use UPnP, and have tried Banshee, Rhythmbox and Amarok all unsuccessfully, what can I do to make this work?
[04:03] <c_smith> I'm even willing to try another media player at this point.
[04:04] <adie> c_smith, have you tried grilo for rhythmbox?
[04:04] <silverarrow> does anyone know which filesystem is default for ubuntu i386 and powerpc?
[04:04] <c_smith> adie, will try that in a second, gotta install (had uninstalled it for space reasons)
[04:04] <silverarrow> I used the regular installer
[04:04] <wilee-nilee> silverarrow, ext4
[04:05] <adie> c_smith, do keep in mind you will need to update rhythmbox, I think
[04:05] <adie> 2.97 rather than 2.96 which comes with ubuntu
[04:05] <c_smith> adie, not a prob, as I'm installing it fresh from the repos
[04:05] <silverarrow> wilee-nilee, there is no reason to expect file fragmentation or weirness?
[04:06] <c_smith> adie, I see.
[04:06] <wilee-nilee> silverarrow, Fragmentation would be unusual what is the problem?
[04:06] <adie> I can't help you with it specificly, but that's what I walked my friend through, and grilo for rhythmbox worked for him

[04:13] <redwarriors25> how can i edit ip address in ubuntu
[04:15] <Calinou> you can't change your external IP using anything other than router restarts - if you have a dynamic ip, shut down your router, wait then restart it
[04:15] <adie> redwarriors25, you can change your local IP in the network settings
[04:15] <adie> ^_^
[04:15] <Calinou> internal IPs is similar: it depends on your DHCP settings on your router
[04:15] <adie> I always manually set mine because I am lazy :/
[04:15] <redwarriors25> the localhost network is ok but in accessing website like google cant

[04:17] <ClientAlive> I'm getting permission denied errors trying to run unison on a file in /etc (good grief) - what to do?
[04:18] <silverarrow> linux and drivers is not a lost case?

[04:19] <King_Snooty> Has Steam been released for Linux yet?
[04:19] <c_smith> King_Snooty, no

[04:20] <c_smith> King_Snooty, but it's in beta
[04:20] <King_Snooty> dern :'(
[04:20] <King_Snooty> can someone get me in beta?
[04:20] <c_smith> King_Snooty, not I,
[04:20] <Phiscribe> uuuhhh
[04:20] <Phiscribe> sure mail me 100 bucks
[04:21] <ClientAlive> Tj: Yes, and I wanted to keep it owned by root but using unison on that was too daunting. I did a sudo chown uname:uname to it then ran unison on it again. Still, permission denied and the operation does not succeed.
[04:21] <c_smith> King_Snooty, do a google on Steam Linux and go to their blog they have set up for it, has all you would need to know there.
[04:21] <ClientAlive> So I'm totally stumped man. Ideally, I'd like unison to operate on a handful of root owned files but dont' know how to set that up.
[04:21] <TJ-> ClientAlive: it's not just ownership... check the file permissions on the file too. It depends which user the unison process is running as
[04:22] <ClientAlive> ohhh. Well that file is -rw-rw---  uname:uname (where uname is my user name with admin privs)
[04:23] <MrWubbles> / _ )/ __ \/ __ \/ |/ / / // / __/ _
[04:23] <MrWubbles> / _ )/ __ \/ __ \/ |/ / / // / __/ _
[04:23] <FloodBot1> MrWubbles: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:23] <ClientAlive> Tj: what would I do to get unison able to operate on root owned files? Add it to some group or something?
[04:23] <TJ-> ClientAlive: how about at the other end? Does uname:uname have *write* permissions to the directory it's writing the file to?
[04:24] <blackshirt> hello, is it possible to limit samba just allowed some type of files ?
[04:24] <TJ-> ClientAlive: Usually, /etc/ is Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
[04:26] <ClientAlive> In fact I don't have write perms for /etc. Thing is, I don't have much desire to go screwing around opening up security holes in my system. I wish there was a good secure way to let this app do what it needs to (regardless of perms).
[04:26] <ClientAlive> regardless of ownership too
[04:26] <blackshirt> ClientAlive, what you need exactly ?
[04:26] <TJ-> ClientAlive: What's wrong with using rsync?
[04:26] <blackshirt> that was normal
[04:27] <ClientAlive> Tj: well I like what I see with unison. I'd like to take it for a spin  :)
[04:27] <TJ-> ClientAlive: You could always read the original files using sudo ... and pipe them to a non-privileged process for writing at the backup destination
[04:28] <ClientAlive> hmm
[04:31] <ClientAlive> Tj: Isn't there a way I could make it so unison can sudo? But then how would I get it to actually use sudo when needed? And, somehow, that seems like a really bad idea - security wise. No?
[04:32] <Calinou> King_Snooty, you can use wine to use steam on linux, although it may not work all the time
[04:32] <TJ-> You don't always need elevated privileges to *read* files in /etc/ (check the individual directories and files ) but you do need them to *write* to /etc/
[04:32]  * Calinou braces himself - prepares for troll replies
[04:32] <King_Snooty> I am much excited for a native client.
[04:32] <blackshirt> hello, is it possible to limit samba just allowed some type of files ?
[04:34] <ClientAlive> why can't I make it so unison operates as root (like it's part of the system where it can do anything) but then make it so unison can not be accessed/ used/ even tourched without root permission (sudo or su). So in order to run unison now you have to have the ability to sudo or su. ??
[04:35] <ClientAlive> Why not that? Seems like the perfect scenario to me...
[04:35] <TJ-> ClientAlive: You can, I would think. If operating as root then the profiles would go in the root user's home directory so only that user can access them
[04:36] <ClientAlive> Tj: Hmm, sounds like a lot of work?
[04:36] <TJ-> ClientAlive: 2 minutes?
[04:36] <ClientAlive> really?
[04:37] <TJ-> Well I assume you've mastered how to define unison profiles by now... I've seen you asking questions about it for several days!
[04:37] <ClientAlive> not exactly  :s
[04:37] <XiaolinDraconis> sooo any solution to choppy flash? i checked the questions and searched google, it gives me a very diverse array of solutions, really dont wanna take a shot in the dark with this. seems like everytime i do that something breaks even worse
[04:37] <TJ-> ClientAlive: 'root' is just another user, with it's own home directory just like everyone else. It's just it lives at /root/    not in /home/
[04:38] <TJ-> ClientAlive: So I'd think that if unison keeps its profiles/configs in the ~/.unison/ directory, you'd put them in /root/.unison/ and then just ensure for those profiles you do sudo unison...
[04:38] <ClientAlive> yeah but unison expects profiles to be in ~/.unison (for one thing) Then theres how to make that program have run with root privs, then there's how to restrict using the program unless you have root privs.
[04:39] <XiaolinDraconis> currently watching youtube and it isnt choppy, but i was just watching tubeplus tv show and it was slightly choppy, now im playing a game on kongregate and its a little more choppy
[04:40] <ClientAlive> I think that to make it run with root privs I would add it to some group (some existing group) but what about changing where unison expects to find it's .prf files and about restricting running it?
[04:40] <TJ-> ClientAlive: "~" expands to the current user's home directory. If the current user is root (as is the case when using sudo) then "~" is /root/

[04:44] <TJ-> ClientAlive: You can configure users that can only run particular programs in /etc/sudoers, and you can specify NOPASSWD if you want to

[04:46] <ClientAlive> hmm. I'm not sure if I was thinking of the same thing. I can't think of a good example but I was thinking of some process that runs as part of the system and can basically do whatever it needs to (perms or not).
[04:46] <ClientAlive> like dmesg or something. It does whatever it wants right?
[04:46] <TJ-> ClientAlive: A system service for backup? There's deja-dupe and bacula already for that

[04:47] <ClientAlive> the file the question was started over is /etc/.bash.aliases
[04:48] <TJ-> ClientAlive: Why would that file be changed and need syncing? Usually changes to aliases are done at the user level, not system
[04:49] <ClientAlive> I have my aliases set up so root and myuser can run the same alias (I do su occasionally)

[04:50] <vicTROLLA> Anyone know why 12.04 would display the MOTD twice on login?
[04:51] <ClientAlive> afk for a moment
[04:51] <Spr0cket> .
[04:51] <TJ-> ClientAlive: Why not simply symlink the file then? "sudo ln -s /home/$USER/.bash_aliases /root/.bash_aliases" - anything you put in "/home/$USER/.bash_aliases" is seen by the root user
[04:52] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: maybe udpate-motd got confused
[04:53] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: or even update-motd !
[04:54] <vicTROLLA> if you're running ubuntu can you show me `which update-motd`
[04:54] <redwarriors25> the localhost network is ok but in accessing website like google cant
[04:56] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: There isn't one. update-motd is done by pam_motd (see man 5 update-motd)
[04:57] <vicTROLLA> odd
[04:57] <vicTROLLA> seems /var/run/motd is correct
[04:58] <vicTROLLA> can I just arbitrarily delete things out of /etc/update-motd.d/
[04:58] <vicTROLLA> ?
[04:59] <ClientAlive> Tj: I'll have to think about that. I've been on these two computers for about the last 6 hrs and getting a bit burnt out for tonight. I appreciate your suggestions and may end up doing that - just it'll have to be tomorrow I think. Peace out for now man. thx
[05:00] <TJ-> ClientAlive: good luck with ti :)
[05:00] <ClientAlive> thx man. have a good night
[05:00] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: Not a great idea because those files are installed by packages. Any update, they'll be reinstated
[05:01] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: Check if there are multiple pam rules causing it: "grep motd /etc/pam.d/*"
[05:02] <vicTROLLA> hrm session    optional   pam_motd.so appears in both login and sshd
[05:02] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: That's correct
[05:03] <rolio> help me ! i'm in danger ! my PC is not started without my pendrive and now my pendrive has been format .
[05:03] <vicTROLLA> it's supposed to appear twice?
[05:04] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: No; "login" and "sshd" should both have entries for pam_motd.so
[05:04] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: What kind of login is causing it? remote, local?
[05:04] <vicTROLLA> remote
[05:04] <vicTROLLA> ssh
[05:05] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: Have any changes been made at any time to the PAM configuration for alternate log-in options?
[05:06] <vicTROLLA> no. Just started happening today. The only thing that was installed today was libssh2-php which should (I would hope it wouldn't anyways) not have anything to do with pam
[05:06] <Damo__> Hey all, could anyone please help me with some C++ programming. It is an assignment, but I am not asking anyone to do it for me. All I want to know is how to make a switch statement that allows characters and integers instead of just one or the other? Could anyone help please?
[05:06] <rolio> can any one help me !
[05:07] <Hayate> what mean with not started with pendrive rolio?
[05:07] <TJ-> Damo__: case 'c':   or case 64;
[05:09] <Damo__> I can't figure out how to pm you back TJ, but tyvm!
[05:10] <TJ-> Damo__: remember that in C/C++ chars are a single byte, and we can specify the ASCII character by surrounding it with single-quote marks
[05:12] <Bennn> Anyone know why Dolphin is not showing .sql files?
[05:12] <wilee-nilee> rolio, If you are in ubuntu now run this command and pastebin the info sudo fdisk -l
[05:13] <osmosis> when I try to do full screen youtube videos, i see the left half of the vid but the rest is off the screen. Any way to fix this?
[05:13] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  i'm not   . Can i paste /etc/fstab of my system
[05:13] <wilee-nilee> rolio, fsatb will not really help I need to know the partitions and what they are.
[05:14] <Damo__> Yeah, I knew about the ASCII chart, but I had no clue how to convert the numbers into what they represented. So its by using single quotations, ty =)
[05:14] <wilee-nilee> rolio, can you boot a live cd or get into the OS?
[05:15] <wilee-nilee> get into means boot to
[05:15] <rolio> wilee-nilee: i have only one partion 320 gb which i have given to ubuntu
[05:15] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  yup ! i'm now on live CD
[05:16] <wilee-nilee> rolio, cool run the command so we can get grub in the mbr sudo fdisk -l
[05:16] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  yes , i'm boot it already and talking you from that oS
[05:16] <Bennn> Anyone know why Dolphin is not showing .sql files?
[05:16] <wilee-nilee> rolio, you on the cd or in the install you are saying both here.
[05:16] <TJ-> vicTROLLA: Changing "PrintMotd yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting the service might help
[05:17] <Hayate> benn, that was hidden?
[05:17] <wilee-nilee> or at least I want to be sure we are communicating
[05:17] <rolio> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1199965/
[05:18] <wilee-nilee> rolio, cool and you are on the live cd now?
[05:18] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  ya ! i'm
[05:19] <drupin> there is a issue with the chrome flash player pepper installed
[05:20] <TJ-> rolio: The problem is, when you installed Ubuntu and the pendrive was inserted, the boot-loader was put on the pendrive not the hard disk. That is fixable; I'm sure someone will tell you how
[05:21] <rolio> TJ-:  i know that .I even try to install bootloader but i failed .I think i have done it with wrong procedure .So, thats why i'm here
[05:22] <wilee-nilee> rolio, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1199973/
[05:22] <theadmin> !recovergrub | rolio, follow this article
[05:22] <theadmin> Bah...
[05:22] <theadmin> !restoregrub | rolio, follow this
[05:23] <wilee-nilee> theadmin, I gave him the non chroot reload of the mbr.
[05:23] <rolio> wilee-nilee: let me try
[05:24] <rolio> wilee-nilee: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:24] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: Your instructions are a bit typoed!
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> TJ-, in line with the grub ,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstall_from_the_LiveCD
[05:25] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  can't mount /dev/sda1
[05:25] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: mounting "sda" ?
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> tj I missed the mnt at the end of the first command my bad
[05:26] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: It needs  "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot" doesn't it?
[05:27] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  what should i need to type in terminal ?
[05:27] <wilee-nilee> TJ-, I am using the commands exactly in the wiki, minus the /mnt by accident persoanally I would chroot, you are more then welcome to do this rather then question my work here. ;)
[05:27] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: I'm pointing out, if rolio is using the liveCD "/mnt/boot" won't exist - it needs creating
[05:28] <XiaolinDraconis> askubuntu.com/questions/186730/chromium-quicklist-profiles-not-working-any-ideas
[05:28] <wilee-nilee> TJ-, look at the link I posted that line is exact as I posted it from the wiki
[05:28] <rolio> TJ-:  i'm on live persistence pendrive with 2GB swap area
[05:28] <wilee-nilee> sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX
[05:30] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: Ahh OK... I see what it's doing now! I'm so used to the convention of putting mount-points in sub-dirs below /mnt/ I didn't realise they're mounting directly onto /mnt/ itself
[05:30] <wilee-nilee> rolio, this is the first command sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[05:30] <wilee-nilee> roilio this is the second sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
[05:30] <rolio> done wilee-nilee
[05:30] <XiaolinDraconis> curious how often trolls come here asking questions they can answer
[05:31] <wilee-nilee> rolio, open the terminal and use commands there, the pastebin I gave you was missing the /mnt at the end by accident
[05:31]  * XiaolinDraconis thinks rolio was just here under the name yuio
[05:31] <rolio> wilee-nilee:  sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda   <--------------- /sdaX what is X
[05:31] <rolio> XiaolinDraconis:  yup !
[05:32] <wilee-nilee> TJ-, those grub commands change on occasion hehe I just use supergrub and do this from the desktop myself or chroot.
[05:32] <rolio> XiaolinDraconis: i tried your way , but it can't work in my case
[05:32] <wilee-nilee> rolio, the one line was an example the X=a the hd
[05:32] <TJ-> wilee-nilee: well it confused me also because I always install a separate /boot/ :)
[05:33] <wilee-nilee> rolio, here is the link to the commands if that helps.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstall_from_the_LiveCD

[05:52] <adie> Guys, I have a problem
[05:52] <adie> I try to log into my ubuntu, but it kicks me back to the login screen
[05:52] <adie> my guest account logs in fine! I don't know what's wrong :(
[05:54] <drupin> password... if you have adie or caps ..
[05:54] <adie> drupin: it "logs in" fine
[05:54] <adie> if I had the wrong password it would tell me
[05:54] <adie> just wonce it logs in, it instantly goes back to the login screen
[05:55] <adie> sometimes it displays a black screen with text for a split second, but too fast to read :(
[05:55] <adie> all I can read from it is "battery ok" or somthing ><
[05:55] <adie> prolly not relivant to my issue ^_^
[05:58] <drupin> so many users
[05:58] <drupin> gosh
[05:58] <adie> :/
[06:00] <adie> A
[06:10] <jalexandru> hi, anybody heard about F3 key being bind in terminal - using ubuntu 12.04
[06:12] <Bennn> Anyone know why Dolphin is not showing .sql files?
[06:12] <adie> :O
[06:12] <adie> <3
[06:13] <theadmin> Bennn: You mean a file literally called ".sql"? Files starting with a . are hidden.
[06:14] <adie> ^_^
[06:15] <theadmin> adie: Stop this, you're flooding the channel
[06:15] <Bennn> theadmin, right. I mean name.sql files. They simply aren't shoring up. name.sql.gz shows up, but not name.sql. It's visible in the terminal with ls command, but not in Dolphin.
[06:16] <Bennn> ctrl+. shows files starting with a '.'
[06:16] <theadmin> Bennn: That's entirely weird... I can see a file called "test.sql" here just fine
[06:17] <Bennn> theadmin, you're right. The problem was 'weird'. I restarted Dolphin, now .sql files appear.  *sigh*
[06:17] <drupin> lol he is putting images
[06:17] <aharoni> Hallo. I'm trying to report a bug in Launchpad.
[06:19] <aharoni> When I press  "Report a bug" in Launchpad, I get to a page with Bug Reporting documentation - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu . But how do I get to the actual bug reporting form?
[06:19] <PoitSucka> Hi everyone! I'm looking into a new system but my favorite site to get ubuntu-friendly hardware (pricewatch.com) looks like it's just a domain squatter now.
[06:19] <PoitSucka> Where do you all shop for hardware?
[06:20] <theadmin> aharoni: You read the documentation... It has a link and instructions on what you should be using instead of that link (because other methods will give you more details)
[06:20] <PoitSucka> I'm looking for something that lets me pick my individual components and has lots of alternatives (like my beloved, deceased pricewatch)
[06:20] <PoitSucka> If you've got something you've been satisfied with I'd love to hear! I know there are alternatives I'm missing.
[06:21] <cfhjhdfc> Good morning...
[06:22] <PoitSucka> Good morning cfhjhdfc
[06:22] <PoitSucka> What can I do for ya?
[06:23] <drupin> is the local purge a default program
[06:23] <pagz> how do i change grub settings fresh install of ubuntu i want to swap the defult os selection from ubuntu to win 7
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> pagz: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[06:27] <aharoni> theadmin, really? there's no wasy to ust open the bug reporting form?
[06:27] <PoitSucka> pagz: The GRUB_DEFAULT setting in /etc/default/grub that lotuspsychje mentioned is what you want to edit.
[06:27] <pagz> thanks
[06:27] <PoitSucka> Sure thing pagz - if it doesn't work or if you have any trouble come on back and let us know
[06:28] <aharoni> theadmin,  I run ubuntu-bug , I select "other problem", and then I get the message: "You need to specify a package or a PID. See --help for more information."
[06:28] <pagz> i did try and google this... must of had old guides tho was telling me to edit files not found on the system
[06:28] <PoitSucka> pagz:  not your fault
[06:28] <theadmin> aharoni: Correct, you need to specify *where* the bug is (e.g. by calling ubuntu-bug with "ubuntu-bug firefox")
[06:28] <PoitSucka> You probably found a bunch of tutorials for the first grub
[06:29] <zsolt> hi there.trying to make deb packages,with dpkg-buildpackage but it makes only the docs
[06:29] <PoitSucka> pagz: Grub went under a bunch of changes when they switched to grub2
[06:30] <PoitSucka> So now there are search results for grub configuration chilling all around the Internet for grub1 that aren't helpful at all for people using grub2.
[06:30] <PoitSucka> It's confusing. Not your fault.
[06:31] <aharoni> theadmin, the docs say: "If you're not sure which package is affected by the bug, type ubuntu-bug in the "Run Application" window and click Run. This will guide you through a series of questions to gather more information about the bug."
[06:31] <aharoni> but It gives me an error instead of guiding me.
[06:32] <theadmin> aharoni: Hm, the guide must be outdated. Either way, if you're not sure which package is affected, why not find out? What *is* the bug?
[06:34] <aharoni> theadmin, like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/517092 , but for the Burmese alphabet.
[06:34] <aharoni> or should I report it under ubuntu-meta?
[06:35] <theadmin> aharoni: Yeah, that'd be a good idea... Also, shipping all fonts around is something that might never happen. Though, since Quantal the only way to install Ubuntu will be a DVD so they may fit more data in...
[06:36] <aharoni> theadmin,  not shipping all fonts, but shipping at least one font per every script is quite reasonable this days.
[06:36] <theadmin> aharoni: Hm... Well, I do agree
[06:37]  * theadmin proceeds to invent her own script :P
[06:37] <theadmin> [/offtopic]
[06:38] <aharoni> theadmin, if I try `ubuntu-bug ubuntu-meta', I get this error: "Package ubuntu-meta does not exist"
[06:38] <theadmin> aharoni: Hm... Eh... Give me a second.
[06:39] <d3f4c3d> hei guyz
[06:39] <N03L> d3f4c3d: hello
[06:39] <d3f4c3d> any1 knows what is this
[06:39] <d3f4c3d> error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.4
[06:40] <theadmin> aharoni: I don't seem to be able to find any "Burmese" fonts in the repos at all
[06:40] <theadmin> d3f4c3d: This is an error while loading a shared library which you don't have installed.
[06:40] <aharoni> theadmin, maybe Myanmar?
[06:40] <aharoni> It's a different name for the same language.
[06:41] <Zombie> Hi.
[06:41] <Zombie> I just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS.
[06:41] <d3f4c3d> i'm on ubuntu x64 3.2.0-31-generic
[06:41] <theadmin> aharoni: Not finding anything either... Anyway, I'd say report it as a bug to xfs, that's the closest I can get to it
[06:41] <d3f4c3d> how can i get that library
[06:41] <Zombie> I need to ask:
[06:41] <theadmin> !find libcrypto.so.4
[06:42] <Hellog> HOW TO : Please help in finding bt5 r2 repo for ubuntu 12.04 32 bit
[06:42] <Zombie> What is the best proceedure to see of Intel GMA Support is working?
[06:42] <theadmin> Hellog: Third-party distributions and repositories are not supported here.
[06:42] <d3f4c3d> is there a way to get libcrypto.so.4 working
[06:43] <Hellog> theadmin: so, where i go ?
[06:43] <theadmin> d3f4c3d: That library doesn't seem to exist in Precise. Are you using some way old app?
[06:43] <d3f4c3d> not way old but
[06:43] <d3f4c3d> old i guess :(
[06:43] <d3f4c3d> it's cisco IOS labs basically
[06:43] <d3f4c3d> for training
[06:43] <theadmin> Hellog: Nowhere -- if you're trying to use something that's not officially supported by Ubuntu, you're on your own. Might ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but idk how much help will that be.
[06:44] <d3f4c3d> ../wrapper-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:44] <PoitSucka> Zombie: a good indicator - "lsmod | grep i915"
[06:44] <theadmin> d3f4c3d: libcrypto.so appears to be provided by libssl, but that's not the version it wants
[06:44] <theadmin> Hellog: Might ask in #backtrack-linux too
[06:45] <d3f4c3d> so i should update ios version ? because i dont think its possible :(
[06:45] <d3f4c3d> if i install old version of ubuntu will it work ?
[06:45] <d3f4c3d> sad face lol
[06:46] <PoitSucka> Hellog: What theadmin may have meant to say is check #backtrack, or see if you can find a link in the backtrack forums.
[06:47] <PoitSucka> nvm, he did suggest it, I was just too late
[06:47] <PoitSucka> gj, theadmin
[06:47] <PoitSucka> For a sec I thought you were being a bit frumpy - you proved me wrong.
[06:47] <theadmin> PoitSucka: I might have been a bit rude indeed
[06:47] <PoitSucka> You totally anti-rtfm'd.
[06:48] <PoitSucka> You actually Ubuntu'd it. Awesome.
[06:48] <russian_> sucka )
[06:48] <Zombie> PoitSucka: Will do. See, my laptop is running glxgears at  300 fps/
[06:48] <Eagleman> Why is ubuntu hanging on every reboot:  Waiting for network configuration...   network file: http://pastebin.com/DdsLLHBz
[06:49] <PoitSucka> d3f4c3d:  an old version may work. Some googling may help. Try goolging for repo packages for a version, rather than goolging for others that have the same problem
[06:50] <d3f4c3d> thnx but i had enough of anal for today ;) will restart tomorrow
[06:50] <PoitSucka> d3f4c3d: your problem may be a bit rare, so you're probably better off looking for a package that exists with that library. Start by searching for that library with its name and version
[06:50] <PoitSucka> Then if you find an index of a repo with that library, try to search for the specific package name listed there.
[06:51] <PoitSucka> Good luck d3f4c3d. I hope it works out for you
[06:51] <d3f4c3d> lol bro i have no idea what u said :) but thanks !
[06:51] <PoitSucka> Haven't dealt with that stuff myself or I'd have better advice for you
[06:51] <PoitSucka> d3f4c3d: feel free to PM me.
[06:51] <PoitSucka> I'll be unreachable during 8-7 PM PST
[06:52] <PoitSucka> but I'll get back to you for sure

[07:10] <PoitSucka> d3f4c3d: is it built for your architecture?
[07:10] <PoitSucka> Perhaps if it was built for 64 instead of 32 that could do it.
[07:10] <d3f4c3d> u mean opposite
[07:10] <d3f4c3d> built for 32 and i run 64
[07:10] <theadmin> d3f4c3d: That's your problem
[07:10] <d3f4c3d> could be
[07:11] <PoitSucka> I didn't mean the opposite, I meant the principle
[07:11] <d3f4c3d> its just so specific theres so little information on IOS
[07:11] <theadmin> d3f4c3d: Try doing a "sudo apt-get install libssl:i386"
[07:11] <PoitSucka> As in, perhaps you have an X bit binary trying to load a Y bit lib
[07:12] <PoitSucka> Doesn't matter if X > Y or X < y, the point is if X != Y you often get huuuuuuge problems.
[07:12] <Eagleman> Why is ubuntu hanging on every reboot, it will take about 3 minutes to boot succesfully:  Waiting for network configuration...   network file: http://pastebin.com/DdsLLHBz
[07:13] <theadmin> Eagleman: This might sound ridiculous and unrelated, but do you have an ATI/AMD graphics card?
[07:13] <d3f4c3d> Package libssl:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:13] <d3f4c3d> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:13] <d3f4c3d> is only available from another source
[07:13] <d3f4c3d> another words nope
[07:15] <Eagleman> theadmin no its a server

[07:17] <silverarrow> can someone do me a favor ? Run update manager just to check if server is up?
[07:17] <theadmin> anzul: The livecd includes some more drivers than the end install, open "Hardware Drivers" and you'll find it there
[07:17] <theadmin> silverarrow: wfm
[07:18] <theadmin> silverarrow: You might be using a different mirror than me though, mine is "mirror.yandex.ru"
[07:18]  * silverarrow wonders if theadmin just gave him a snarky remark
[07:18] <silverarrow> wfm?
[07:18] <theadmin> silverarrow: "wfm" = "works for me", sorry
[07:18] <silverarrow> lol
[07:18] <silverarrow> ;- )
[07:19] <silverarrow> theadmin, thanks though
[07:19] <silverarrow> theadmin, I might have some update manager issues
[07:20] <d3f4c3d> if I revert to 12.0 will it fix this crappy libcrypt.so.4 thing ?
[07:20] <theadmin> silverarrow: You can run "gksudo software-properties-gtk" (or "kdesudo software-properties-kde" on Kubuntu) and there's a "Find fastest mirror" button in Download From: -> Other, use that
[07:20] <bekks> d3f4c3d: There is no way to revert besides a reinstallation.

[07:30] <ydbondt> small question, I'm running btrfs on ubuntu 12.04. It is loaded as a module here, which gives me slow startup times. Does someone knows if btrfs is also loaded in the kernel somehow ?
[07:30] <silverarrow> well, yes, I see, but I felt I didn`t get the point
[07:30] <Jordan_U> ydbondt: I doubt that btrfs being loaded as a module has any measurable effect on your boot time.
[07:31] <lasher> I just installed qemu and the usb menu works wth?
[07:31] <ydbondt> I think it does. See here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg16387.html
[07:31] <silverarrow> theadmin should I worry or is it a server thing?

[07:31] <hod> hi room i have a question for ubuntu 12.04 is there a way to disable the touchpad mouse input?
[07:32] <silverarrow> lowkey33, it has worked fin up until the last few days
[07:32] <silverarrow> lotuspsychje, oh, I see
[07:32] <lowkey33> i read a few things about problems with it
[07:34] <ydbondt> Jordan_U: it takes about 9 seconds to load btrfs :/ Is this normal ?
[07:34] <Jordan_U> ydbondt: Btrfs is still in development and you should really be using the latest kernel, at least 3.5.3 if not 3.6-rc5, if you want to use btrfs.
[07:34] <ydbondt> hmm
[07:34] <silverarrow> how do I do updates in terminal?
[07:34] <fidel> silverarrow: used to apt?
[07:34] <ydbondt> auch, I'm using 3.2.0-27
[07:34] <silverarrow> fidel, well I can type in apt-get updates?
[07:35] <Jordan_U> ydbondt: Note that upgrading to a newer kernel might cause instability in other areas, but that's something you have to accept if you want to use experimental features.

[07:35] <fidel> silverarrow: regarding your question: 'apt' is the basic cmd to update packages from cli
[07:35] <ydbondt> thnx, I'll try to switch kernels later :)

[07:38] <ninjo> Hello
[07:38] <silverarrow> Dayofswords, fidel, day`s command works !!
[07:38] <ninjo> i have a little problem on my ubuntu, i am total newbie, so if someone would help i would be really happy: When i run anyfile i get: permission denied. How to fix that?
[07:39] <silverarrow> I get new firefox
[07:39] <silverarrow> been waiting for 15.01
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> ninjo: try running files with sudo in front of it
[07:39] <silverarrow> my update manager is mucked up fidel ?
[07:39] <LorSamPau_w> !sudo | ninjo
[07:39] <bekks> ninjo: So which file in particular do you want to run?
[07:39] <LorSamPau_w> just as i thought
[07:40] <bekks> LorSamPau_w: sudo without knowing what he wants to do is sometimes not the best idea :)
[07:40] <ninjo> bekks, psybnc :)
[07:40] <LorSamPau_w> bekks, i'm so lazy today
[07:40] <bekks> DO NOT run it as root. Never. Dont do it.
[07:41] <silverarrow> Dayofswords, I have to write down your command
[07:41] <ninjo> Even if i run it as a user, i still get the same error, but not only psybnc, anything else i want to execute with ./
[07:41] <silverarrow> a bit worrying about my update manager though ?
[07:41] <ninjo> I think its some permissions mixed up
[07:41] <bekks> ninjo: Are you in the directory where the file "psybnc" is located?
[07:42] <ninjo> yea ofcourse :)
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> !chmod | ninjo
[07:42] <bekks> ninjo: And which permissions does that file have currently?
[07:42] <ninjo> 777
[07:42] <ninjo> everything :D
[07:42] <bekks> 777 is far to much. 755 is more than enough.
[07:42] <ninjo> Still, nothing wants to execute
[07:42] <ninjo> not only psybnc, if you know what i mean
[07:43] <bekks> ninjo: Then provide the exact, detailed error message.
[07:43] <nathandim> can someone suggest a good alternative for adobe reader? one that preferably recalls the last page that you had open
[07:43] <ninjo> ]#./kurwa
[07:43] <ninjo> -bash: ./kurwa: Permission denied
[07:43] <bekks> Then "kurwa" does not have execution permissions.
[07:43] <ninjo> i have compiled a simple script, gave it permissions, and i cant execute it
[07:43] <ydbondt> Jordan_U: do you think it is safe to use a quantal kernel for precise ?
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> nathanim:libreoffice reads pdf by default on ubuntu
[07:44] <bekks> ninjo: Whats the output of ls -lha on that file.
[07:44] <ninjo> Listen bekks, everything i want to run i get the same error, its not something with the "kurwa" file but in general with my unbut :S
[07:44] <ninjo> t)]#ls -lha kurwa
[07:44] <ninjo> -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28K Aug 22 10:40 kurwa
[07:45] <Jordan_U> ydbondt: I think it's "safe" in that I don't expect it to cause any data loss or breakage which can't be fixed by booting into an older kernel, but it may not be stable.

Is there anything I can do?
[07:52] <oren_> Hey guys, quick question regarding my webcam in Ubuntu: I have a logitech webcam and it works just fine but I can't adjust its settings in anything (color, brightness, etc..), for example in skype my webcam is quite dark so is there any way to alter the webcam settings? (In Windows theres obviously a logitech program for doing so but in Ubuntu I see no way in doing this)
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> oren_:i think you can adjust stuff in skype too
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> oren_:try cheese for special effects
[07:56] <tailf> is there any way to partition unused diskspace of an existing ext4 ubuntu partition? i have a feeling there isnt
[07:56] <oren_> yeah cheese I can adjust stuff for special effects but it doesn't actually stay outside of cheese
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | tailf
[07:56] <oren_> and I have found no way to adjust stuff in skype
[07:56] <tailf> thanks
[07:57] <somsip> oren_: In Skype -> Options -> Video there is a 'Disable Auto Exposure' checkbox which casues darker video. Any good?
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> oren_:i think webcam adjusting depends on the software you using
[07:57] <oren_> What software in Ubuntu can I use to alter webcam settings?
[07:57] <somsip> oren_: though thats v<IP_ADDRESS> from Skype downloads, not from the repo
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> oren_:for the best webcam/screen recorder try kazam (#kazam)
[07:58] <oren_> alright, I'll try that lotus
[07:58] <yulio> how to open every executable application in terminal as root by default
[07:58] <lotuspsychje> yulio: i dont think thats a good idea
[07:58] <oren_> somsip: are you saying the linux-skype on their website is more up-to-date than the one in the repo?
[07:59] <somsip> oren_: Last I checked, the repo was at an older version
[07:59] <yulio> lotuspsychje:  but , my situation demand me to do that
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> yulio:can you tell us whats the purpose for that?
[07:59] <oren_> hmm the one I'm using is <IP_ADDRESS> and it has no disable auto-exposure
[07:59] <oren_> oh wait no
[07:59] <oren_> it does
[07:59] <deathtap> Another server on our network has Squid installed. It uses some form of authentication. The Network Administrator is in the hospital because of personal problems, and is unable to be contacted. If we can get the apt-get command to get through the proxy server, we cam use the apt-get install command. We know the password and username, and used the export http_proxy= command, but it is not working.
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> yulio: you could make your own startup icons with commands, sudo in front
[08:00] <oren_> I'd like to alter other settings as well though, like color, etc...
[08:00] <somsip> oren_: dunno about that.
[08:00] <yulio> lotuspsychje: i just install bt r2 tool in ubuntu , but they need to be executed as root
[08:00] <oren_> lotuspsychje: apparently kazam is just a screencapture thing
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> oren_:yes one of the best
[08:00] <oren_> it's not what I'm looking for
[08:00] <oren_> I just want to alter my webcam settings
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> oren_:try what somsip sugested you in skype
[08:01] <somsip> oren_: you want to load some sort of logitech.conf that affects anything that uses the webcam during a session? Sorry, don't know of that
[08:01] <oren_> In Windows I can easily just go into the logitech quickcam program and change settings
[08:02] <oren_> why is there no program in Ubuntu for stuff like this?
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> oren_:quickcam is also software, so you need always an ubuntu package
[08:02] <oren_> yeah ... but what package?
[08:03] <oren_> what ubuntu software can accomplish this?
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> oren_:maybe this can help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> brb
[08:06] <oren_> yeah I've read this, it pretty much says I have to buy a new webcam or do a bunch of complicated stuff I have no idea how to do
[08:06] <deathtap> Okay, thanks for the help!
[08:07] <deathtap> Got it working
[08:07] <deathtap> I'll be back if I have anymore issues
[08:13] <nokia> hi. Is there a setting to let me watch laptop on my TV . That lets me close the laptop lid and still view output on the TV

[08:15] <oren_> thanks, I'll take a look
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> nokia:maybe if you can make the laptop not goto sleep when lid closes, your hdmi cable can still output to tv?
[08:16] <billc> lotus u can in widows
[08:17] <billc> windows
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> billc: i know but nokia asks for ubuntu..

[08:26] <kallepersson> What is the easiest way to prevent my Ubuntu machine from launching gmd and just presenting me with a log in shell instead
[08:26] <kallepersson> Turning an old desktop into a server and don't want gdm started
[08:26] <fidel> kallepersson: if you dont want / need gdm - remove it ;)
[08:27] <kallepersson> I *might* need it later ;)
[08:27] <kallepersson> Any way to just disable it
[08:27] <Exposure> you can use update-rc.d to remove it
[08:27] <Dayofswords> oren_: The standard way to compile is   ./configure; make            if you want to install that to the system do     make install    but i'm not sure how make install function
[08:27] <kallepersson> THX!
[08:28] <oren_> Dayofswords: I have no idea what that all means, I'm a real rookie with linux. Do you mean go to the terminal and just type that stuff or...?
[08:31] <icesword> yes
[08:31] <Dayofswords> oren_: in the terminal go to the folder(using cd /path/to/gqcam-0.9) and do   "./configure" without the quotes. chances are you'll hit some errors though so try that for now
[08:31] <oren_> oh okay
[08:31] <oren_> will do
[08:32] <icesword> execute command ./ the executable file
[08:32] <oren_> nothing
[08:33] <oren_> hmm wait a moment
[08:34] <icesword> stupid thing, double the install file gives  you a txt from a  win users view
[08:34] <oren_> I do cd /home/gqcam/ but it says no such file or directory
[08:34] <oren_> when there obviously is
[08:34] <oren_> am i doing something wrong?
[08:34] <silverarrow> is there a channel for Totem player?
[08:35] <Dayofswords> oren_: where is the file? in your home folder?
[08:35] <oren_> the file is in /home/gqcam
[08:36] <oren_> but I can't get into that folder via the terminal
[08:36] <LorSamPau_w> isn't it a /home/user/gqcam ?
[08:36] <oren_> oh okay I'll try that
[08:36] <oren_> ah there we go
[08:36] <Dayofswords> oren_: cant be, /home/ is for user folders, it has to be within it
[08:36] <oren_> thanks LorSamPau_w
[08:36] <LorSamPau_w> =)
[08:36] <LorSamPau_w> np
[08:37] <icesword> did you try to right click the executable file?
[08:37] <oren_> yeah I di
[08:37] <oren_> d
[08:38] <icesword> what's the choice
[08:38] <oren_> when I right click?
[08:38] <icesword> is there a run as admin ?
[08:39] <oren_> no
[08:39] <oren_> I am the only user and I guess that would make me the admin
[08:39] <icesword> maybe  you chose the wrong one
[08:39] <oren_> wrong what?
[08:40] <icesword> wrong file
[08:40] <oren_> it says in capitals INSTALL
[08:41] <francesco_> Hello, I have been here yesterday too. I am planning to install LXDE on my pc, where I have Ubuntu installed. I am afraid, what happens if I want to come back to Gnome again?
[08:41] <somsip> oren_: normally that is the instructions on how to install, not an executable
[08:41] <oren_> hmm okay
[08:41] <oren_> yeah it's a text file thingo
[08:41] <icesword> the executable file  usually be something.sh, something like that
[08:41] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, no problem at all. as you login there will be gnome and lxde
[08:42] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, just don't delete gnome packages
[08:43] <oren_> probably a newbie question here but why on earth is it often so difficult to install a simple program in Ubuntu with all this compiling?
[08:43] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, is there the possibility to stop login asking me which interface I want to use? And if it is possible, what if I want to come back to Gnome?
[08:43] <oren_> why don't people make simple install executives or something
[08:43] <bekks> francesco_: Dont use autologim and you can always change your session befor login in.
[08:44] <icesword> so you fix it? oren?
[08:45] <skraito> hi guys
[08:45] <skraito> hi kid
[08:45] <oren_> no, I didn't fix it
[08:45] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, by default login-screen doesn't show up... just install lxde, then you logout and choose lxde. next time you turn on your pc it wiil load up the lxde, and if you want to change it to gnome again - just logout and choose gnome )
[08:45] <skraito> how are ya
[08:45] <oren_> I can't install this thing at all
[08:45] <oren_> apparently it requires a bunch of other files
[08:45] <pcbsdl1> skraito: You ok yo ?
[08:45] <oren_> not included in the tar for whatever reason
[08:45] <icesword> so what is that file?
[08:46] <tehpwnz> hey, anyone running Ubuntu on a Macbook pro late 2011 without any issues? can you help me with the install details and what you did to make it work? im bored with OS X eh

[08:46] <Kartagis> !find sysfs
[08:46] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, yes

[08:47] <parapan> Hi fellows > big problem I have; I've installed arping which uninstalled network manager applet I had no internet connection; I edited the /etc/network/interfaces by hand , introducing eth0 as a device with manual IP's , after that I've installed network manager again from Synaptic ..but still, the network manager does not show in the status bar and even if it's showing (when wireless network is detected) for the wired connection is
[08:47] <tehpwnz> gordonjcp, it works okay? you havent had any issues?
[08:48] <arand> oren_: Because the idea is you normally don't install from source, but from repositories instead.
[08:48] <bekks> parapan: As long as you configured eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, NM will NOT pick it up.
[08:48] <bekks> Undo that change, and configure a static IP in NM, and it will work.
[08:49] <oren_> arand: why?
[08:49] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, let me tell you the whole story. I don't know if this is the proper channel to ask. I have an old PC (Pentium IV) and I have notices that it become very slow after updates. Someone suggested me that could be the interface (Gnome) that is getting heavier for my PC. He suggested me to install Lubuntu, or just LXDE on my version of Ubuntu. What do you think? Should I install Lubuntu?
[08:49] <oren_> seems kind of counter-intuitive
[08:50] <Noodels> francesco_: I would.
[08:50] <parapan> bekks > look, after re-installing the network manager, I will delete all modifications made to "interfaces" file .....actually the only line there suppose to be  ....auto lo ......but, I think I've done that and then I lost the network again ....
[08:51] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, you should... it's not bad, looks nice, will work faster definitely
[08:51] <parapan> bekks: and still the network manager was not working ......
[08:52] <skraito> hey pcbdl
[08:52] <skraito> i am okay how about you
[08:52] <skraito> awww guys
[08:52] <arand> oren_: Because it's more convenient.
[08:52] <parapan> bekks: also, when I try to start nm-applet I receive the error "Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. "
[08:52] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, But I am afraid of loosing my data. My problem is that I already have a double partition with Windows Vista, and Ubuntu on my PC. How can I delete Ubuntu without touching Windows?
[08:54] <parapan> bekks: are you still here ????
[08:55] <oren_> arand: how on earth is this any more convenient than a single install file executable?
[08:55] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, it can be done, but it's very complicated, if i was in your shoes - i'll backup all that i need and format the disk - then install windows(if you really need it) and then lubuntu
[08:56] <Costeelation> hi guys, regards :D ... i have a problem with the conection... any app can connect :/
[08:57] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, I will need Windows for sure for some work that I have to do as student at University. They use applications only for Windows.
[08:57] <Zombie> francesco_: I may be able to help.
[08:57] <icesword> then how you get on irc?
[08:57] <arand> oren_: Because packages in repos are prepared to integrate correctly into the system, and the most convenient way for maintainers to create packages is by having a clean source-only tarball.
[08:57] <Zombie> francesco_: If you don't mind KDE, KDE exists as a meta-package.
[08:58] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, backup the the needed data, install win first, lubuntu - second
[08:58] <skraito> hi alllllll
[08:58] <skraito> awwwwwwwwww
[08:58] <skraito> awwwwwwwwwww
[08:58] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, one more thing, please. Last night I tried to install lxde on my Ubuntu. I tried "sudo apt-get install lxde", and "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop", but both didn't work. It said something like "impossible to install", or "package not found". What does it mean?
[08:58] <icesword> ?
[08:58] <skraito> i need some people here anyone
[08:58] <Costeelation> icesword: i dont know but i cant conect with fpt, lightreader, facebook app desktop,
[08:58] <Zombie> francesco_: You can replace Ubuntu 12.04 sources with Kubuntu
[08:58] <Zombie> francesco_: You can replace Ubuntu 12.04 sources with Kubuntu 12.,04
[08:59] <Zombie> francesco_: You have to replace the sources list.
[08:59] <francesco_> Zombie, I have been told that X is much lither than Gnome, I know.
[08:59] <skraito> hi
[08:59] <skraito> anyone want this script
[08:59] <tsimpson> Zombie: you don't have to replace any sources to have Kubuntu
[08:59] <francesco_> I already did. Perhaps, there is still something missing from the list.
[09:00] <skraito> get this ubuntu script
[09:00] <skraito> http://0x71.org/?p=611
[09:00] <arak90> !list
[09:00] <Costeelation> it is as if a firewall blocked all but I have disabled the gufw icesword
[09:00] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, well,i don't know... tru sudo apt-get update first... may be lxde isn't exist on your repositories
[09:00] <Costeelation> any idea ?
[09:00] <tsimpson> skraito: don't post random things in here
[09:01] <Zombie> francesco_: Gnome is an X application.
[09:01] <Zombie> francesco_: KDE is an X application.
[09:01] <skraito> thats not random
[09:01] <Zombie> francesco_: LXDE is an X application.
[09:01] <vkas> does anyone know a good .bashrc file with handy aliases?
[09:01] <skraito> thats a ubuntu hardening script
[09:01] <skraito> just check it
[09:01] <tsimpson> skraito: no, stop it or be removed
[09:01] <skraito> ah okay
[09:02] <parapan> ??
[09:02] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, perhaps (I don't know, though) the problem is that I stopped updating my Ubuntu a long ago. And, therefore, my PC is not "synchronized" with what they have now. Could it be something like that?
[09:02] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, i bet on it
[09:03] <francesco_> Zombie, sorry. I know.
[09:03] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, how could I solve the problem. Could I "manually" install the packages that I need? Is it difficult?
[09:04] <sveinse> Is it possible to resize2fs a running root fs? Expand that is. Apparently it is possible on lvm, but is it on an ordinary block device?
[09:04] <hawkal> Anyone know anything about packages.ubuntu.com being down?
[09:04] <bekks> sveinse: Depends on the fs.
[09:04] <sveinse> ext4
[09:04] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, if it is so, "sudo apt-get install updates" wouldn't work. I'm not an expert though.
[09:04] <tsimpson> hawkal: it's being worked on
[09:05] <fidel> hawkal: seems to be down here to
[09:05] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, i've never done that, you better google it
[09:05] <bekks> sveinse: You cant resize the blockdevice online, but the filesystem only.
[09:05] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, thank you, anyway. Perhaps I had better install Lubuntu.
[09:06] <hawkal> tsimpson & fidel okay thank you
[09:06] <sveinse> bekks: So I can in principle resize the partition/block device, reboot and then resize the fs
[09:07] <bekks> sveinse: No. You have to use a livecd to resize the blockdevice.
[09:07] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, no problem, you really should install lubuntu
[09:08] <sveinse> bekks: Uhm. no. You can change the partition table on a running system. It might not come into effect until you reboot, but you can change it
[09:08] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, last question. :) Do you really think it could be the effects of Gnome that slowed down my PC?
[09:10] <sveinse> bekks: So from what I understand you can change the fs, but not the block device. But if the block device has already been expanded (like with lvm), then you can run resize2fs. Isn't that right?
[09:10] <L1l> could anyone help with ipv6 ?
[09:10] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, i had the same problem on my old laptop... after installing lubuntu - i felt like it's a new notebook... much faster
[09:10] <decci> May I know if Ubuntu provide any Hardware Suite tool for Dell or HP server?
[09:10] <sveinse> What defines the fs size? Meta-data in the superblock, or the size of the block device?
[09:11] <francesco_> LorSamPau_w, thank you very much for your patience. I have to go now. See you some other time. Ciao.
[09:11] <bekks> sveinse: That is correct.
[09:11] <LorSamPau_w> francesco_, ciao
[09:11] <bekks> sveinse: The size of the fs is defined in the superblock of the fs and control blocks on the block device.
[09:14] <sveinse> bekks: Since it works with lvm where you can expand the logical volume, it seems to me that the size of ext(4) is bounded by data in the superblock. When you increase a lv the block device increases in size, but you need to run resize2fs to allow the fs to take use of the whole block-dev
[09:15] <sveinse> bekks: So, again, wouldn't this be the same as to increase the partition table, then reboot to apply the new partition table (where the only change is increase of the partition's end) and resize2fs it to fill the device

[09:27] <gabriele> hello
[09:28] <funky1> i'm having some trouble to get a command be executed at bootup or login, i run ubuntu 12.04 and have tried to include as a service and cron @restart and using the "start up" function on the desktop

[09:35] <Gedmi> Hello guys, i need some help during my ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation. Someone can help me?
[09:35] <parapan> bekks: Hello again man ......it worked thank you .....I've modified interfaces files, restarted, network manager was up, deleted old connections and now is working OK ....
[09:36] <susundbe1g> Gedmi: !ask
[09:36] <susundbe1g> !ask
[09:36] <Gedmi> oh
[09:36] <Gedmi> sorry..:)
[09:37] <skraito> hi all
[09:37] <arak90> #xdcc
[09:37]  * skraito say hi all
[09:38] <maxexcloo> " It's not just you! http://packages.ubuntu.com looks down from here."
[09:38] <maxexcloo> Anyone know anything about that?
[09:38] <tsimpson> maxexcloo: it's being worked on
[09:38] <Gedmi> !ask During my ubuntu 12.04 LTS instalation i have faced to one problem. O dunno what to chose creating a new partition. Logical or primary?
[09:38] <maxexcloo> tsimpson, it seems to be down every time I need it :(
[09:38] <mevvis> ryc
[09:38] <maxexcloo> Any place I can follow status and such?
[09:39] <tsimpson> maxexcloo: there are issues with the server running that domain, the admins are attempting to fix as we speak
[09:39] <maxexcloo> Awesome
[09:41] <Gedmi> During my ubuntu 12.04 LTS instalation i have faced to one problem. O dunno what to chose creating a new partition. Logical or primary? (Sorry for some flood, just trying without !ask command. I am new here. :) )
[09:42] <fidel> Gedmi: what is the current setup of that box?
[09:42] <fidel> Gedmi: as in: is there any other os on use etc?
[09:42] <fidel> Gedmi: the !ask command is only used to save keystrokes for the residents inhere - explaining new users how to start getting help inhere.
[09:45] <Gedmi> fidel: Yes, i have windows 8 in my pc, but i wanna change my os to Ubuntu, but i wanna keep my ntfs partition alive, cuz there i have all my data.. So in the Installation type menu i have selected something else and now i need to partition my computer or smth..
[09:46] <fidel> Gedmi: well if you want to keep your windows partition - this will include win8 aswell if i understand you correct - create at least 1 additional partition for linux
[09:47] <Cart> Hi guys
[09:47] <Cart> Could I please quickly have a firewall experts attention ?
[09:47] <Gedmi> fidel: No, before i had C and D partitions. In C partition i always keep OS'es and system soft and etc.. In D partition i am storing al my personal data files. So now i need to delete C partition and prepare it for Ubuntu. Am i right or no? :?
[09:47] <PrAsHaNt> how to install .deb files ?
[09:48] <fidel> Gedmi: well yeah - in theory it should be afaik enough to delete the current C (i.e. from a live cd) reboot usingthe ubuntu cd and start the installation on that free space which was C earlier
[09:49] <hateball> !anyone | Cart
[09:49] <Cart> Guys Ubuntu works with almost every Intel processor right? that will include  lga1155 Pentium G840 - Dual core?
[09:49] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: in case you are asking for HOW to install .deb files from cli - > consider using dpkg
[09:49] <Cart> ok
[09:49] <fidel> otherwise consider asking a more detailed question
[09:49] <Gedmi> fidel: It doesnt need to partition all those swap, /, /home and etc?
[09:50] <fidel> Gedmi: thats an option - while you can baiscally use just 1 partition as well
[09:50] <fidel> more or less a user/admin preference thing
[09:50] <vkas> PrAsHaNt: if you prefer gui, use gdebi
[09:50] <PrAsHaNt> fidel, m totally new here , do i have to install dpkg software or something like that?
[09:51] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: as a first step - it would help to ask a clear question ;)
[09:51] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: are you looking on how to do that in GUI or CLI?
[09:51] <PrAsHaNt> vkas, okey
[09:51] <vkas> PrAsHaNt: install gdebi from software center
[09:51] <Cart> ok im thinking of making a Firewall for a small office building that should deny internet acces to some PCs on the network..now the PC will have the following specs,  Pentium G840 - Dual core 2.8Ghz 2Gig ram and 250Gig HDD with 2 x 1Gig Lan cards
[09:51] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: and ask yourself why you download a .deb file manually in the first place - as this makes only sense if apt doesnt offer that specific package/version
[09:52] <Gedmi> fidel: I see, but what choise is better? And how can i use only 1 partition? I mean what mount point must be?
[09:52] <Cart> which ive heard is overkill also
[09:52] <PrAsHaNt> i d prefer it any way so longs its installing stuff
[09:53] <Cart> Would that work and what can I use in Ubuntu to block IPs etc
[09:53] <PrAsHaNt> fidel actually i wanted to install draftsight and i downloaded it lunux version
[09:54] <fidel> !info draftsight
[09:55] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: as you see - that package doesnt exist inside the ubuntu repo -> so yes getting it from whatever prjectpage it is and installing it manualy might be the way. as mentioned earlier: you have several ways how to handle a .deb file. the 2 major ways are either using a GUI or a CLI (dpkg command)
[09:55] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: simply double-clicking the .deb should open an install dialog as well (afaik....i never tried that myself)
[09:55] <PrAsHaNt> fidel, okey thanks
[09:55] <nngger> helloo booboontoos. I have problem wiht update. Usualy I just deactivated "bad" repo, but this time its not good idea, because Java has some security 0day iessues. Look at this picture:  http://i.imgur.com/E5wZ6.png
[09:56] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: but again - try to always use APT if possible - its 1 of the big advantages of linux based systems to have a working package-management for most cases
[09:57] <PrAsHaNt> fidel, what is apt??? sorry this is my first day in ubuntu
[09:58] <fidel> PrAsHaNt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool might explain it better then i can in short
[09:58] <PrAsHaNt> fidel, thanks again for the link
[09:59] <fidel> in very short: its a cmd/tool to search/install/remove applications/packages in ubuntu/debian/similar
[09:59] <fidel> !apt > PrAsHaNt

[10:08] <Forseti> Hello everyone, i am new here, and i need some help. I wanna change my OS to ubuntu. Am i need to change my all partitions from NTFS to smth?
[10:09] <ikonia> Forseti: do you plan on leaving windows on your machine ?
[10:10] <Forseti> ikonia, yeah, for now i am planing to replace my curently os with ubuntu 12.04
[10:10] <dr_willis> Forseti:  how many hard drives do you have?
[10:10] <ikonia> Forseti: ok, so you don't want to change your ntfs partitions
[10:10] <PrAsHaNt> i am not able to open terminal by ctrl+alt+t
[10:10] <mevvis> grub2 settings its to dificult. what a point?
[10:10] <dr_willis> mevvis:  what?
[10:10] <tasslehoff> Anyone with 12.04 on a Lenovo T530 with the minidisplayport working?
[10:10] <ikonia> Forseti: your windows OS will still want to use NTFS
[10:10] <ikonia> tasslehoff: I have it working on a T430s
[10:11] <mevvis> good morning dr_willis
[10:11] <Forseti> ikonia: No, i want to remove my windows. :) I wanna replace it with ubuntu
[10:11] <ikonia> Forseti: in that case, the installer will delete and create new partitions for you
[10:11] <Forseti> ikonia, but i have partition where i am storing all my personal data and files
[10:11] <dr_willis> Forseti:  backup any imporntant data to some safe place like a external usb drive
[10:12] <ikonia> Forseti: ok, so leave that one alone, but as dr_willis if you can, backup
[10:12] <Forseti> hm, yeah, maybe i can.. :)
[10:12] <dr_willis> data worth keeping.. is data worth backing up..
[10:12] <dr_willis> if its not worth backing up.. well..
[10:13] <Forseti> and when i will back up my all data it will automatically install ubuntu?
[10:14] <dr_willis> Forseti:  you can tell the ubuntu isntaller to use the whole drive. or just parts of it
[10:14] <Forseti> I mean with all partitions needed?
[10:14] <dr_willis> or yiu can define your own partitions
[10:15] <pngl> What's the best way to save ssh passphrases under ubuntu? I'm tired of typing them everytime I ssh somewhere.
[10:15] <Forseti> And what is the best option?
