[06:51] <Bneyt> hi, Anybody have any experience installing the Realtek r8168 drivers?
[06:51] <dr_willis> mount command should show the mountpoints
[06:51] <mayank> its says already installed
[06:52] <mayank> but still not printout wen i give the print command
[06:52] <mayank> i dont understand
[06:53] <haracha> how do i change permissions on a default app mounted .iso
[06:54] <dr_willis> haracha:   why are you needing to do that? change what permissions?
[06:55] <Chad__> Can anyone answer a quick question I have about rsnapshot (rsnapshot irc channel is dead).
[06:55] <haracha> x a cutable
[06:55] <haracha> and i wanna install one of my favorite games :>
[06:56] <dr_willis> haracha:  use  wine  /path/to/the/whatever.exe
[06:56] <sameerfx_> Can someone help me with some partitioning in gparted? Here is the issue I'm running into: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=16754
[06:56] <dr_willis> the idea of double clicking a .exe and it running.. is.. well problematic
[06:56] <sameerfx_> basically, I have 4 primary partitions, one of which is extended.
[06:56] <sameerfx_> I can't create a new logical partition in that extended partition
[06:56] <dr_willis> since for some ODD reason they have decided the .exe needs to be executable for 'security' reasons
[06:56] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, tried running ubiquity from terminal of live session... not one single error or piece of info appeared in the terminal window. Installer still stalls at same point. Also tried with both boxes un-checked... :(    No solution exists?
[06:56] <dr_willis> which is no security at all
[06:57] <sameerfx_> Here is a screenshot of the error: http://i.imgur.com/wxdZB.png
[06:57] <amagee> hey, i'm trying to increase my open file limit
[06:57] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  checedked the forums?  and askubuntu.com? ive never heard of that problem happening in here befor
[06:57] <sameerfx_> amagee, have you tried ulimit?
[06:57] <amagee> i've put "amagee hard nofile 50000" and "amagee soft nofile 50000" in /etc/security/limits.conf, but i still can't use "ulimit -n 50000" to increase it
[06:58] <amagee> it says "bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted"
[06:58] <guest16> sameerfx_: first extend the logical partition over the unallocated space, then select the "new" unallocated area that you'll see in the logical partition
[06:58] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, I've been trying google before I came here (still looking now as we speak) and that one post on the forums is all I've managed to come up with so far...
[06:59] <guest16> sameerfx_: the first step is, select the logical partition, then click the button above with the the arrow.
[06:59] <sameerfx_> amagee, did you try sudoing that? (run it as root?)
[06:59] <guest16> Sorry, first select the /extended/ partition.
[06:59] <guest16> replace logical with extended in my comments above.
[06:59] <amagee> yes, but it doesn't work (also, ulimit is user-specific so that doesn't really make sense in this case)
[07:00] <sameerfx_> guest16, trying that now
[07:00] <guest16> To select the extended partition, you click the border, not the area inside (which would select the logical partitions instead)
[07:00] <guest16> The cyan border.
[07:00] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  tehres  may be some logs in /var/log   it could be its a bad cd/dvd burn also. You tried it on a differnt machine?
[07:01] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, it is the same DVD which installed to this very PC I am talking to you on now.
[07:02] <sameerfx_> guest16, will I need to reboot into a liveCD to do this?
[07:02] <sameerfx_> Under the Extended partition, 2 of the partitions are / and /home.
[07:02] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  dirty work around...  do a full install to a 8gb usb flash drive... then  use dd to image that flash to the HD of the problem pc. ;) then gparted to resize the partitons
[07:02] <sameerfx_> So maybe since those partitions are mounted, I may not be able to expand the Extended area?
[07:02] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  or swap the HDS  install.. put it back in the problem box
[07:03] <sameerfx_> I clicked on the cyan border, but resize is grayed out
[07:03] <haracha> dr_willis i put the .iso on a virtual mount point which i haven't exposed to my brains as to where yet
[07:03] <dr_willis> you dont resize in use/mounted filesystems
[07:03] <guest16> I don't know.
[07:03] <sameerfx_> I'll try to do that, thanks.
[07:03] <bnathan> hi, does anybody here have any experience installing the realtek r8168 drivers?
[07:03] <dr_willis> haracha:  huh?
[07:03] <haracha> my computer has the .exe mounted on a virtual drive which i don't yet understand how to pinpoint in CLI :I
[07:04] <bnathan> hi, does anybody here have any experience installing the realtek r8168 drivers?
[07:04] <dr_willis> haracha:  you are mounting an ISO file in vbox under linux?
[07:04] <bnathan> hi, does anybody here have any experience installing the realtek r8168 drivers?
[07:05] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, that HD swap idea almost sounded perfect! until I realised the problem machine's HD is sata and my only other 12.10 capable PCs are IDE :(
[07:05] <haracha> no no i mounted it with the default app that comes with mister ubuntu current :3
[07:05] <dr_willis> haracha:  see where the mount command says its at.
[07:05] <bnathan> hi, does anybody here have any experience installing the realtek r8168 drivers?
[07:05] <dr_willis> haracha:  or mount it by hand.
[07:05] <dr_willis> !iso
[07:06] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  i got a usb hd adaptor that does all the hd sizes/ports. ;)  best $25 i spent
[07:06] <exiff> Fondest of greetings to you all.
[07:06] <exiff> Which channel or irc network do i go to to get help with the evolution mail client?
[07:07] <bnathan> hi, does anybody know which IRC I could get help with linux drivers?
[07:08] <TakeItEZ> !anyone | bnathan
[07:08] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, and the full install to a flash drive workaround sounds bad.. in that it sounds like it will wipe all the data from the problem PC :( furthermore, I just found this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/204771/ubuntu-12-10-installation-hangs-at-preparing-to-install-ubuntu which seems to suggest that the way around the problem is to format the drive :(
[07:08] <bnathan> !details
[07:11] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, this PC was a clean install, so that goes with the theory of it needing a clean drive to avoid the problem (on PCs which experience the problem)
[07:14] <dr_willis> sounds liek the installer cant figure out the partuon layout if  the fix suggests a reformat
[07:14] <dr_willis> you may be able to partion it by hand/resize/leave part unallocated first.. then start the installer
[07:16] <dr_willis> if the HD layout is the issue. then i would expect the problem to happen on a differnt machine if you swaped hds also

[07:21] <bnathan> Hi, I recently purchased a PC with a P8z77-M PRO ASUS Motherboard with a Realtek 8111b/8168b NIC. Upon installation of Ubuntu 12.10, I get a disabled network card using r8169 driver.I downloaded the latest r8168 drivers at http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false which is 8.035.00 and followed the instruction to run autorun.sh which compiled the driver and placed it in the appropri
[07:23] <mayank_>  my laser printer canon lbp2900 not working on ubuntu 12.10
[07:24] <dr_willis> mayank_:  you could do a write up on askubuntu.com asking about it and how to get it working...
[07:24] <dr_willis> it might not be doable.

[07:24] <dr_willis> include what youve done, how you have configured it.. and any  cups logs that seem imporntant
[07:26] <dr_willis> bnathan:  shorten your question a bit.. its getting cut off.. and you have tried loading the modules via modprobe?
[07:26] <bnathan> thanks I'll try that solution right now
[07:27] <chiques> Has anyone played with an Ubuntu Smartphoe?
[07:28] <chiques> *Smartphone
[07:28] <bazhang> chiques, #ubuntu-phone
[07:28] <dr_willis> chiques:  im not sure they even exist right now
[07:28] <Geet_> how to create a shortcut icon for a command line
[07:28] <dr_willis> other then in 'just look dont touch' prototypes. :)
[07:28] <chiques> dr_willis, just curious, thanks
[07:29] <dr_willis> Geet_:  copy a existing .desktop launcher  somewhere  and edit it
[07:29] <dr_willis> Ill belivec in the ubuntu phone when i can actually go and buy one at the store/internet. ;)
[07:29] <dr_willis> ive had so many letdowns with Overyhyped  and vaporware hardware over the years
[07:29] <dr_willis> Vaporhardware? ;)
[07:30] <Geet_> what is a .desktop launcher?
[07:31] <Geet_> dr_willis ^
[07:31] <dr_willis> every gui app has a corseponding .desktop file
[07:31] <dr_willis> look at gedit.desktop for example
[07:31] <bnathan> hi dr willis, I did a modprobe -l and it showed that the module was there
[07:31] <chiques> dr_willis, Nokia's Samba was OK, if they could port just half of the the Ubuntu apps it would be amazing but your right, it's like those amazing concept cars GM is always promising to make available.
[07:31] <dr_willis> bnathan:  if the module loads.. look at dmesg output to see if any errors happen
[07:32] <dr_willis> chiques:  or that  similer idea phone  that came out a year or so ago.. atrix?
[07:34] <andu> cm
[07:37] <Shadekitty> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu 12.10 is compatable with VMWare 3.14? I'm having some really odd issues with my GUI…   sometimes my desktop shows up, sometimes it doesn't…  I haven't played with linux since Slackware 3 and couldn't find anything regarding this issue in any of the docs I looked at...
[07:38] <dr_willis> unity may have issues if the 3d drivers are not working right
[07:38] <Shadekitty> thx.. at least that gives me a direction to look… :)
[07:38] <dr_willis> try lubuntu  if you dont really want the fancy unity desktop
[07:39] <dr_willis> the askubuntu.com site may also have some guides/info on 12.10 in vmware.
[07:39] <dr_willis> i only use vbox  these days
[07:39] <bono> or qemu
[07:39] <WanderingEnder> VMWare what, btw?
[07:39] <WanderingEnder> ESXi, VSphere, Player, Workstation?
[07:39] <Shadekitty> I'm just exploring it for now as a whole. Job offer coming up and they primarily use ubuntu… it's been a while since I've touched any *nix systems…
[07:39] <Shadekitty> VMWare workstation 3.14
[07:40] <WanderingEnder> Use VirtualBox. You're not running VMWare on big iron, so there's no reason to stick with it.
[07:40] <Shadekitty> I'll check it out…
[07:42] <dr_willis> *nix is too handy to not have around. ;)
[07:42] <Shadekitty> I got lazy with windows…
[07:43] <Shadekitty> I did tinker with RHE at a job a few years back, but nothing major. Like I said.. my last real experience was slackware 3 if that gives you a timeframe…
[07:44] <Shadekitty> probably around the same time that I was last found in an IRC channel too.. LOL
[07:46] <bnathan> hi dr willis, I did the dmesg and I see "eth0 identified chip RTL8168f/R8111." "lshw -c" showed a network card of "r8168b/8111b"
[07:47] <dr_willis> this is a wired or wireless  network card?
[07:47] <bnathan> wired network card
[07:48] <dr_willis> ifconfig shows an eth0 device then?
[07:48] <bnathan> no. only the loopback
[07:48] <dr_willis> try modprobing the module again and look at the end of dmesg output perhaps? it may give a clue
[07:49] <bnathan> ok. thanks
[07:50] <zg> hi i'm having an issue booting my system
[07:50] <zg> I'm getting the error /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present
[07:51] <zg> when I type 'swapon -a' it says 'swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: start failed: No such file or directory
[07:52] <dr_willis> you are using an encrypted swap partition?
[07:52] <petergk> zg: it's a cryptswap problem....
[07:52] <petergk> or partition
[07:53] <zg> I enabled encrypt home directory
[07:53] <kesh-may> i have a question about using wine, is it possible for me to run a game (sims 3) using all of the expansion packs that have been purchased as well
[07:53] <dr_willis> kesh-may:  check the wine app database perhaps.
[07:53] <dr_willis> !appdb
[07:53] <petergk> zg cryptsetup remove cryptswap1
[07:54] <zg> "Device cryptswap1 is not active."
[07:54] <kesh-may> i know that i can play the sims on wine but will it allow me to use the expansion packs as well they are all on seperate disk
[07:54] <petergk> zg: you can edit some stuff in the /etc/crypttab?
[07:54] <RollinV2> anyway to automatically load a set theme + icon set? I'd like to make my own login sessions based on themes (minimal for work, fancy for home, etc)
[07:54] <bnathan> hi dr willis, I did a "modprobe -v r8168" and the module is not doing anything presently. the last message on dmesg was the discrepancy of the identified network card type
[07:55] <dr_willis> so the module seems confused about the card sounds like
[07:56] <bnathan> dr_willis: Is there anything I could do or I have to ask help from Realtek?
[07:57] <dr_willis> bnathan:  i doubt if they will care or help.  you could check the arch linux wiki if the ubuntu forums and askubuntu.com help fails. they may have some info about the card in their wiki pages
[07:57] <helmut_> hi
[07:57] <bnathan> ok. thanks a lot
[07:58] <dr_willis> bnathan:  id also test a 13.04 live cd - see if the newer kernel in it works with the card.
[07:58] <warm> hi, I am connecting my laptop  via HDMI to a TV, and when i close the lid, the output stops. how to solve that?
[07:58] <bnathan> ah ok.
[07:58] <zg> petergk: yes
[07:58] <zg> cryptswap1 /dev/sda6 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
[07:58] <zg> that's the only line in the file
[07:59] <warm> I set the option in the power management to Do Nothing, but it won't help.
[08:00] <Shadekitty> check power management in your BIOS?
[08:01] <Shadekitty> I've got an older dell that I had to actually turn off stuff in bios rather than the OS to stop putting the laptop to sleep when the lid shut.
[08:02] <haracha> how do i modulate the brightness
[08:02] <haracha> i think a game set the brightness way too high
[08:03] <nunya> I'm trying to setup openvpn with wireless connection and I've followed the openvpn instructions to the letter but it keeps timing out and not working.
[08:03] <warm> Shadekitty, thanks, i'll try it out
[08:03] <Shadekitty> have you tried the blank screen setting rather than "do nothing"?
[08:03] <Shadekitty> a quick google shows that others have had the same problem in previous versions of ubuntu and have had the issue resolved changing the option..
[08:05] <Shadekitty> Seems to be a lot of Dell computers with the issue… happen to have a dell by chance?
[08:06] <warm> Shadekitty, no , there is no such an opting on my computer.
[08:08] <Shadekitty> Theres a lot of bugs reported similar to your issue… sorry I couldn't help. Try googling your specifics… if no one replies here
[08:08] <petergk> zg: comment out that line i think
[08:09] <warm> Shadekitty, that's ok, thank you, I searched, and led to an issue on ubuntu web, no common solution.
[08:09] <zg> i removed that line and it did nothing
[08:09] <skp1> !boot-repair
[08:09] <zg> also, I had an error with my installation
[08:10] <bnathan> Hi, will there be any problems if I update my linux kernel to the latest using ubuntu 12.10?
[08:11] <Shadekitty> @warm - maybe search for a fix editing /etc/acpi/lid.sh
[08:11] <zg> bnathan: from what version?
[08:12] <dr_willis> the latest kernel from kernel.org you mean? or what exactly
[08:12] <Shadekitty> or /etc/default/acpi-support
[08:13] <Kartagis> in cairo-dock, I've accidentally moved pidgin into firefox dock. how can I undo that?
[08:16] <bnathan> @dr_willis: yes, the latest kernel from kernel.org
[08:16] <bnathan> @dr_willis: I plan on using 3.7 or 3.8
[08:17] <skp1> dr_willis: are you familiar with zsync?
[08:18] <ogist> hello
[08:18] <ogist> should I get kubuntu or xubuntu for my old dell inspiron 1501?
[08:18] <ogist> ubuntu seems to run slow on it
[08:18] <dr_willis> skp1:  never used it.
[08:18] <bnathan> @ogist: use xubuntu
[08:18] <dr_willis> ogist:  lightest would be Lubuntu
[08:19] <ogist> k
[08:20] <infinity__> Just Curious I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 & using NFS, Which the system was working fine til lately, the NFS Server can't start due to portmap not starting to where I would have to ssh into server and start it manually, So I tried modifying /etc/init/portmap.conf and added start on runlevel [2345] or start-rpcbind. Has anyone ran into this problem before, Or is modifying that file the source of the probelm?
[08:20] <dr_willis> infinity__:  ubuntu dosent really use runlevles the same as other disrots do or did.
[08:21] <dr_willis> there may be some verbose options  to portmap to makeit log more error messages
[08:25] <ogist> ok
[08:30] <WanderingEnder> TIL: Launchpad supports export of ssh keys to ubuntu PCs.

[08:48] <halo4> i dont know it
[08:48] <dr_willis> chamunks:  you could ssh in, and  then change permissions or setup a share - if you give us details
[08:48] <kgs> leonardpop: There is another solution, although is not very practical, you can put the sim card into a phone that supports USB Tethering & use it to connect.
[08:48] <chamunks> could I give a user root access then allow that in ssh?
[08:48] <dr_willis> halo4:  we dont know it either.. its the one you gave when you instgalled
[08:48] <dr_willis> chamunks:  direct logging in as root is disabled
[08:48] <chamunks> dr_willis, what sort of details do you need?
[08:49] <halo4> ok i did it and its still black secreend
[08:49] <chamunks> I mainly just want to edit apache configs via ssh
[08:49] <dr_willis> chamunks:  what are you trying to do that you need winscp to get in as root
[08:49] <chamunks> I need to set up virtual hosts
[08:49] <hexstatik> is it easy to install ubuntu on mac book pro(intel i7)?
[08:49] <dr_willis> chamunks:  ssh in, use a console editor and the shell to set things up..
[08:49] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: ssh in, sudo nano /etc7apache2/foo, done
[08:49] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: why would you use winscp to edit config-files?
[08:49] <chamunks> I could nano i was just hoping to use notepad ++
[08:49] <dr_willis> chamunks:  scp the files to the users account, then ssh in and move them where they need to go perhaps]
[08:50] <dr_willis> using windows text editors to edit linux config files - is not a good idea
[08:50] <chamunks> I was hoping for something a tad more elegant than moving files back n forth multiple times per save.
[08:50] <halo4> :.(
[08:50] <somsip> chamunks: if you're going to be doing any amount of admin work on a server, persevere with learning an editor that runs on the server
[08:50] <osmrducks> it says i am missing a pae kernel
[08:50] <osmrducks> ?
[08:50] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, I should have highlighted
[08:50] <dr_willis> you could use X forwarding feature of SSH to have the linux text editor show on the windows desktop also
[08:50] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: make sure you keep the unix lineendings of the config-files when you edit those in non-unix-systems.
[08:50] <chamunks> somsip, I know nano fine I just was hoping to use notepad++
[08:50] <halo4> just use vim
[08:51] <somsip> chamunks: like you said, that would be inelegant
[08:51] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, notepad++ usually takes care of configs pretty well its up there in funcionality with gedit
[08:51] <chamunks> I could just edit file permissions
[08:51] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: as vim does, so go the ssh way :)
[08:51] <halo4> so i cant fix my pc can i?
[08:51] <chamunks> I was mainly wondering if there was a good way to get sudo access.
[08:51] <osmrducks> ne other suggestions of linux other than ubuntu? and where to get them>
[08:52] <osmrducks> for free dl?
[08:52] <hexstatik> does anyone know how to change the location for notifications in 12.10> I have a dual monitor setup and the notifications popup on the monitor to the right in the bottom corner so its inconveniet to look each time
[08:52] <hexstatik> ?
[08:52] <halo4> slackware
[08:52] <dr_willis> halo4:  how do you not know your user name?
[08:52] <chamunks> i just like nano for it keeps me well spoonfed with showing me the shortcuts.
[08:52] <halo4> i did the username
[08:52] <halo4> and my password
[08:52] <somsip> chamunks: then open the file in sudo nano, and copy past from notepad++
[08:52] <halo4> and its still at a black screen
[08:52] <dr_willis> halo4:  so you logged in?
[08:52] <defekt> osmrducks: distrowatch
[08:53] <halo4> no, the screen changed
[08:53] <chamunks> somsip, heh I suppose that could work sortof
[08:53] <dr_willis> changed how....
[08:53] <halo4> its still not working
[08:53] <chamunks> I
[08:53] <halo4> it has my pc name
[08:53] <osmrducks> defekt: if it wont load with vbox... will it load from disc?
[08:53] <halo4> and username
[08:53] <somsip> chamunks: not much more elegant, and I have no idea if you SSH client will support nice copy-paste
[08:53] <dr_willis> halo4:  so the answer is YES>. you have logged in..
[08:53] <halo4> i dont understand
[08:53] <chamunks> I'll add my main user to the group that is in the permissions list for the apache configs i suppose would work.
[08:54] <chamunks> I just wanted full system write access.
[08:54] <bentinata> halo4, did it show like "username@compname:"?
[08:54] <somsip> !root | chamunks
[08:54] <halo4> thats what its doing
[08:54] <halo4> but i still cant log in
[08:54] <bentinata> you just logged in
[08:54] <ogist> hmm
[08:54] <somsip> chamunks: ditto for giving too many rights for any user
[08:54] <defekt> osmrducks: it's a website of linux distributions
[08:54] <bentinata> but not starting the XServer
[08:54] <halo4> im not dumb i know when i loged i
[08:54] <halo4> n
[08:55] <chamunks> somsip :P I know about sudo i've been with ubuntu for quite some time I just wish I could find a way to edit these files easier when im forced to use a windows environment.
[08:55] <bentinata> halo4, try type startx
[08:55] <somsip> chamunks: pick any of the 3 or 4 solutions already given <shrugs>
[08:55] <bentinata> halo4, "sudo startx", sorry
[08:55] <chamunks> my girlfriend likes playing games with me so I have to stick with windows for the games we play :(
[08:55] <dr_willis> no need to use sudo with startx
[08:55] <halo4> hmm
[08:55] <bentinata> dr_willis, thanks
[08:56] <chamunks> somsip, i'm satisfied with the response that essentially my solution wont work and that there are other options :)
[08:56] <halo4> this is command prompt?
[08:56] <chamunks> thanks for the attention to the matter all.
[08:56] <somsip> chamunks: colinux, cygnix, wubi, dual-boot, ubuntu only. That was my way
[08:56] <osmrducks> defekt: right but i just dled ubuntu and tryed to run it with vbox and it said i needed a pae kernel?... will it say the same thing if i burnt it to a disc and tryed to run it?
[08:56] <dr_willis> halo4:  you are at the bash shell.. yes
[08:56] <bentinata> halo4, that is shell
[08:56] <halo4> whats shell
[08:56] <osmrducks> or maybe i am not using vbox correctly
[08:56] <halo4> and whats bash
[08:56] <chamunks> somsip, I have a ssd with ubuntustudio and a hdd with windows 7 and I swap the sata cables I hate dualbooting.
[08:56] <halo4> new to unix
[08:56] <dr_willis> halo4:  you want to go spend an hr or 2 reading up on using bash  if you want to learn the basics
[08:56] <chamunks> windows breaks mbr's and I hate fixing grub
[08:56] <bentinata> halo4, it's like, command prompt on windows, but running on background
[08:57] <somsip> chamunks: sounds inelegant. Anyway, it's all up to you
 MoL0ToV:  theres some fuse tools  that can scan/show shares   but im not sure how well it works these days
[08:57] <chamunks> its not pretty but its easier than dualbooting problems and she only visits occasionally.
[08:57] <halo4> so that means the interface is broken yes?
[08:57] <MoL0ToV> dr_willis, what do you mean?
[08:57] <defekt> osmrducks: 2nd statement I'de say. What arch are you trying to install on vbox x86 or x64
[08:57] <bentinata> halo4, that what I want to say -__-
[08:57] <bentinata> halo4, you are logged in
[08:58] <bentinata> halo4, but without the xserver
[08:58] <halo4> but its not the same
[08:58] <osmrducks> umm... not quite sure i guess =/
[08:58] <chamunks> somsip, I just find whenever windows breaks I wind up leaving it forever if i do a dualboot if i do it this way im much less attatched to the filestructure so i just blow away wineblows and life goes on.
[08:58] <defekt> !gdm | halo4
[08:58] <osmrducks> im using win7 64bit
[08:58] <halo4> how to fix problem
[08:58] <dr_willis> halo4:  you were asked to run 'startx' to see if it works
[08:58] <bentinata> halo4, did the GUI show up?
[08:58] <halo4> negitory sir
[08:58] <chamunks> somsip, thanks have a good one :)
[08:59] <halo4> it still says not valid
[08:59] <bentinata> halo4, what it say?
[08:59]  * wdp doesn't know why people assume halo4 would be logged in correctly.
[08:59] <somsip> chamunks: np
[08:59] <dr_willis> halo4:  be more verbose in what its saying.. we are not mind readers'
[08:59] <ogist> halo4: what did you do
[08:59] <ogist> did you install the wrong video drivers?
[08:59] <halo4> it say not vaid command
[08:59] <defekt> osmrducks: download the ubuntu i386 iso file and use that to istall your vm
[08:59] <halo4> so this is command prompt like windows
[08:59] <hexstatik> does anyone know how to change the location for notifications in 12.10> I have a dual monitor setup and the notifications popup on the monitor to the right in the bottom corner so its inconveniet to look each time
[09:00] <dr_willis> halo4:  so what command did you type  exactly?
[09:00] <halo4> startx
[09:00] <halo4> starx sudo
[09:00] <ogist> hextstatik: you are coming along fast :)
[09:00] <ogist> halo4: try Xorg
[09:00] <osmrducks> ok i dled the 32bit version... so i need to dl the 64bit version?
[09:00] <halo4> can i use login command
[09:00] <TakeItEZ> sounds like halo4 was kicked into grub-shell
[09:01] <ogist> yeah
[09:01] <dr_willis> halo4:  how about - > running the 'whoami' command and see what it says...
[09:01] <dr_willis> he said he had a LOGIN: prompt earlier
[09:01] <dr_willis> of coruse he also said his pc was not starting....
[09:01] <ogist> :(
[09:01] <halo4> it says my username and computername
[09:01] <halo4> but i cant log in
[09:01] <dr_willis> you are logged in
[09:02] <dr_willis> we started that earlier
[09:02] <ogist> yeah
[09:02] <bentinata> you are
[09:02] <osmrducks> it only asks me to dl the 32 bit or 64 bit version defekt
[09:02] <halo4> i am quite furstuated
[09:02] <defekt> osmrducks: 32 bit (aka i386 X86)
[09:02] <ogist> halo4: did you mess it up?
[09:02] <ogist> i messed mine up the other day
[09:02] <ogist> had to reinstall it all
[09:02] <halo4> i broked my pc
[09:03] <ogist> i did that the other day
[09:03] <ogist> i installed the wrong video driver
[09:03] <krzkrz> i accidentally added this ppa:  http://ppa.launchpad.net/paullo612/unityshell-rotated/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources
[09:03] <osmrducks> ok... that is the one i have dled
[09:03] <dr_willis> halo4:  so you used the command 'startx'    exactly as typed?  no sudo. all lower case...
[09:03] <halo4> it has a virus mabie
[09:03] <krzkrz> how do i remove it?
[09:03] <t0bis> hi there
[09:03] <halo4> yesh i did no lowercase
[09:03] <bentinata> halo4, what message it returned?
[09:03] <krzkrz> sudo apt-get update returs 404 not found for that package source
[09:04] <halo4> not valid
[09:04] <defekt> osmrducks: you might have to verify the file you have already downlaoded
[09:04] <dr_willis> halo4:  lets try comthing more complex..    try 'sudo service lightdm start'
[09:04] <defekt> !md5 | osmrducks
[09:04] <halo4> how do i do the service light start?
[09:04] <B0101> hi, when I type apt-get update on ubuntu 12.04, i keep getting this:  W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems how do I solve this?
[09:04] <ogist> i didn't afraid of linux and now it works like a charm
[09:04] <dr_willis> halo4:  lets try comthing more complex..    try 'sudo service lightdm start'  TYPE whstgs Between the  quotes
[09:05] <halo4> oh
[09:05] <ogist> there is a sweet game or two
[09:05] <lunazeta> irc://FreeBoaRd.DayOnIRC.Uk.To/cm-plus
[09:05] <dr_willis> 'sudo service lightdm start'
[09:05] <osmrducks> ok will try real quick
[09:05] <ogist> i wish you luck to get it fixed
[09:05] <ogist> i have a penguin running around on my dock
[09:05] <halo4> ok
[09:05] <defekt> ogist: feed it
[09:06] <ogist> how
[09:06] <halo4> its not working still
[09:06] <dr_willis> again... tell us what it does.. not 'its not working;
[09:06] <bentinata> dr_willis get mad, hehe
[09:07] <halo4> "sudo" is not valid command prompt
[09:07] <ogist> sudo
[09:07] <ogist> just type su then
[09:07] <dr_willis> how about outpout of this command --> 'echo $PATH'
[09:07] <halo4> me type su
[09:07] <ogist> no
[09:07] <ogist> do what he says, im just a noob
[09:07] <krzkrz> dr_willis, what irc clien are you using?
[09:07] <defekt> echo $SHELL
[09:08] <dr_willis> krzkrz:  andchat, going via ZNC into my home raspberry pi.
[09:08] <ogist> i haven't linuxed as long as the rest
[09:08] <halo4> is not valid command
[09:08] <ogist> but i do have a quad-core 3.4ghz with 8 gigabyte of ram
[09:08] <ogist> 64-bit here
[09:09] <ogist> i coulda ran windows xp forever
[09:09] <mystblade9> Hi. I have here a USB stick that is acting rather strangely. I altered it with unetbootin, and would now like to undo it. XFCE automounts the drive, but it doesn't show up in /dev als /dev/sdc1, only as /dev/sdc. If I run fdisk on it, it says "this doesn't look like a partition table", and gparted doesn't even detect it. How do I restore my USB stick to pure fat32?
[09:09] <halo4> i think i have 16 gigabites of ram
[09:09] <ogist> that is very good halo4
[09:09] <halo4> prossessor
[09:09] <ogist> why dont ya just reinstall ubuntu
[09:09] <ogist> :)
[09:10] <osmrducks> defekt: it says check sums r diff... so what do i do?
[09:10] <halo4> 16 gigabite prossessor is good
[09:10] <bentinata> It's feel good when you repair, without reinstall
[09:10] <defekt> mystblade9: your USB is blank with no partions you need to format it.
[09:10] <dr_willis> halo4:   you typed without quotes the command        echo $SHELL    and  echo $PATH and it said invalid command?
[09:10] <dr_willis> both times
[09:10] <halo4> yes sir
[09:11] <TakeItEZ> halo4: type "help", what is the first line you get
[09:11] <halo4> yes it dose nothing i cant login to the thing
[09:11] <defekt> osmrducks: redowload ubuntu, the version you have is currupted
[09:11] <dr_willis> halo4:  you ARE logged in
[09:11] <halo4> but..
[09:11] <mystblade9> defekt: Yes, but how? There's no /dev/sdc1, and this is the output fdisk gives me: http://pastie.org/private/j9z3lhspvnvsbdhzjutjbq
[09:11] <dr_willis> but what.. you keepo confuseing the issue
[09:11] <krzkrz> how do i remove this repo: http://ppa.launchpad.net/paullo612/unityshell-rotated/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources
[09:11] <bentinata> dr_willis become more mad, hehe
[09:11] <halo4> im not at the same time
[09:11] <halo4> confused :/
[09:12] <dr_willis> we said earlier you are logged into the shell
[09:12] <halo4> what is the shell mean
[09:12] <dr_willis> now either you are totally messing up every command. or you got a very very badly broken system
[09:12] <ogist> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:12] <ogist> ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
[09:12] <halo4> so i have a virus
[09:13] <dr_willis> halo4:  no onme has mentioned a virus
[09:13] <dr_willis> and last i looked.. there are no linux  viruses out in the wild.
[09:13] <bentinata> Is virus is really exist on Linux?
[09:13] <ogist> krzkrz: try this first sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
[09:13] <halo4> i think it maebe a virus on my pc
[09:13] <mrosmrducks> defekt: the check sums r diff... ne suggestions?
[09:13] <eutheria> can you still get the alternative install cd for 12.10?
[09:13] <ogist> linux is like a mac
[09:13] <dr_willis> halo4:  if you think so.. safest thing is to reinstall..
[09:14] <defekt> mystblade9: sorry can't check pastbin atm. did you try 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sdc'
[09:14] <TakeItEZ> eutheria: no, they stopped the alternate-cd, use mini.iso or desktop
[09:14] <halo4> i dont know anything about that kind of thing
[09:14] <dr_willis> i  am very confident you dont have a virus on a linux install
[09:14] <defekt> mrosmrducks: redowload ubuntu, the version you have is currupted
[09:14] <ogist> hey
[09:14] <eutheria> TakeItEZ, can you still create an encrypted partition using ?mini?
[09:14] <ogist> krzkrz
[09:15] <krzkrz> ogist, i dont see  http://ppa.launchpad.net/paullo612/unityshell-rotated/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources anywhere
[09:15] <TakeItEZ> eutheria: i don't know
[09:15] <ogist> krzkrz: do this ->   gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:15] <ogist> delete the line of code that has it
[09:15] <mrosmrducks> ok will try
[09:15] <ogist> and then type sudo apt-get update
[09:15] <mystblade9> defekt:  FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition begins after end-of-disk
[09:17] <WanderingEnder> Anyone know which is less taxing on system resources? lubuntu or xubuntu. Thinking of deploying either on a 1 core 2 GB Azure VM.
[09:17] <ogist> WanderingEnder, lubuntu is
[09:17] <WanderingEnder> ty
[09:17] <ogist> but you can probably rub ubuntu on it
[09:17] <defekt> mystblade9: are you getting any dmesg errors when you plug the stick in?
[09:17] <ogist> and switch to fxce
[09:18] <chamunks> I have domainA.com domainB.com and domainC.com and they are all being routed through cloudflare at my ULAMP and I am reading mention of needing to edit the hosts file from this apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[09:18] <ogist> you can run ubuntu and switch out unity with XFCE runs much faster and it’s interface stays out of your way allowing you more screen real estate for activities like programming and browsing.
[09:18] <chamunks> How would I accomplish this hosts file edit.
[09:18] <chamunks> ./etc/hosts yes?
[09:18] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: /etc/hosts, no leading .
[09:18] <chamunks> but is there some kind of syntax that I need to use to point things in different direction
[09:19] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, yes i just added the leading . so irc didnt catch it as a cmd
[09:19] <dr_willis> chamunks:  full paths dont start with a ./ that woul d be a relative path ;)
[09:19] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: use a space, its not misleading
[09:19] <blue112> Hello here.
[09:19] <dr_willis>           // i just put spaces here
[09:19] <tsimpson> chamunks: you don't need to edit /etc/hosts for apache, only if you want to test locally without DNS
[09:19] <eutheria> TakeItEZ, sorry i am being stupid, where do you get mini .iso from?
[09:20] <TakeItEZ> !mini | eutheria
[09:20] <chamunks> well anyways the leading . aside :P
[09:20] <blue112> Since last reboot, gnome-shell won't launch anymore, it segfault just after login. What can I do to fix that ? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
[09:20] <bentinata> Hello blue112
[09:20] <eutheria> thank you TakeItEZ :)
[09:20] <mystblade9> defekt: Nevermind, found a solution. Am now overwriting the drive with zeros.
[09:20] <halo4> can anyone help me with my shell
[09:20] <bentinata> halo4, reinstall
[09:20] <chamunks> tsimpson, thanks that makes sense well I dont really see any specific benefits of testing locally really afaik
[09:20] <Kartagis> in cairo-dock, I've accidentally moved pidgin into firefox dock. how can I undo that?
[09:20] <secretbutter> halo4 no its broken
[09:21] <eutheria> next question, so deja-dup created me a very broken backup
[09:21] <eutheria> i want something that isn't going to create me a broken backup
[09:21] <dr_willis> halo4:  does       cd /bin/                seem to work or does it give an error?
[09:21] <halo4> if i reinstal i might lose my data
[09:21] <TakeItEZ> eutheria: rsnapshot is one tool
[09:21] <dr_willis> halo4:  you can use a live cd to access the data and back stuff up
[09:21] <bentinata> you can backup using console
[09:21] <hexstatik> is it easy to install ubuntu on mac book pro(intel i7)?
[09:22] <eutheria> TakeItEZ, command line?
[09:22] <blue112> Anyone ?
[09:22] <secretbutter> halo4 no you cant, its lost. forever
[09:22] <hexstatik> are there all the drivers available or any other issues?
[09:22] <TakeItEZ> eutheria: sure
[09:22] <bentinata> dr_willis suggestion is the easiest way
[09:22] <halo4> all my musics
[09:22] <dr_willis> halo4:  does       cd /bin/                seem to work or does it give an error?
[09:22] <chamunks> tsimpson, what would a line for the hosts file look like for domainA.com anyways?
[09:22] <eutheria> i was really after something like deja-dup
[09:22] <krzkrz> ogist, its not there repo: http://ppa.launchpad.net/paullo612/unityshell-rotated/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources
[09:22] <bentinata> eutheria, u1
[09:22] <eutheria> maybe something that can do a network backup
[09:23] <eutheria> u1?
[09:23] <bentinata> ubuntu one
[09:23] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: <IP_ADDRESS> domaina.com
[09:23] <chamunks> ok fair enough thanks TakeItEZ
[09:23] <eutheria> sadly i can't use ubuntu one,
[09:23] <halo4> it still says not valid command or oporateve file
[09:23] <tsimpson> chamunks: you'd just add domainA.com to the end of the existing line starting with <IP_ADDRESS>, eg: "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost domainA.com domainB.com domainC.com"
[09:24] <dr_willis> halo4:  so the command 'cd' even fails?        just cd, no quotes or anything special
[09:24] <bentinata> halo4, did you have camera?
[09:24] <blue112> Anyone knows how can I start a terminal to try debug my problem with gnome-shell crashed ?
[09:24] <eutheria> maybe i can if i could put an encrypted blob
[09:24] <chamunks> tsimpson, its wierd because the hosts file generated has a separate line for localhost and the machine name
[09:24] <halo4> what is batch
[09:24] <bentinata> halo4, take a picture of your monitor, and give it here
[09:24] <chamunks> http://puu.sh/1MlR0
[09:24] <chamunks> tsimpson, ^
[09:25] <secretbutter> halo4 you are screwed lol
[09:25] <halo4> i havent got a camera handy
[09:25] <bentinata> secretbutter, it's not funny
[09:26] <bentinata> halo4, "help"
[09:26] <tsimpson> chamunks: you can give different domains different loopback IPs in the <IP_ADDRESS>/8 range, so they can seem to have unique IPs
[09:26] <halo4> i need help
[09:26] <bentinata> halo4, try "help"
[09:26] <halo4> type it
[09:26] <bentinata> halo4, yes
[09:26] <dr_willis> cd is a bash  and sh built in command i thought.. if its failing hes got some deep issues
[09:27] <chamunks> tsimpson, I didnt notice there was a difference heh sorry well thats good and interesting then I can take the different IP's and then route those in the apache section of this task.
[09:27] <halo4> is not valid
[09:27] <bentinata> very deep, dude
[09:27] <chamunks> tsimpson, if im having trouble with routing i suppose :S
[09:27] <blue112> Since last reboot, gnome-shell won't launch anymore, it segfault just after login. What can I do to fix that ? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
[09:27] <defekt> no busybox o.O
[09:27] <halo4> help is not a valid command or oporatevable batch file
[09:27] <bentinata> halo4, try restarting, it usually works :)
[09:28] <halo4> i did re start my pc
[09:28] <tsimpson> "not a valid command or batch file" seems very much like the error you get from cmd.exe on windows
[09:28] <halo4> i cant login, and by log in i mean use it after i log in
[09:28] <dr_willis> halo4:  so what does your prompt look like exactly?     yoruusername@yourcomputername:       ?
[09:28] <halo4> no not exactly
[09:29] <halo4> but kinda prompt
[09:29] <vtghii> hi, Gnome shell is cp hog with FGLRX installed, how to fix this problem, I have an ati card, enough ram and processor, it's only with fglrx that GS use 50%cpu
[09:29] <dr_willis> halo4:  so what does your prompt look like exactly?
[09:29] <halo4> hold on
[09:29] <TakeItEZ> halo4: could you please be even more vague?
[09:29] <bentinata> bentinata@bentinata-ThinkPad-X60s:
[09:29] <halo4> computername/username>
[09:29] <defekt> !ati | vtghii
[09:30] <odyssey4me> hi everyone - how does one arrange for an updated package, or a backport of an updated package from Quantal to Precise?
[09:30] <vtghii> ty for answer, I'll check links and tell u if that solved my problem!
[09:30] <halo4> and a flashing underscore
[09:30] <blue112> Since last reboot, gnome-shell won't launch anymore, it segfault just after login. What can I do to fix that ? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
[09:30] <tsimpson> odyssey4me: you file a bug on launchpad requesting the backport
[09:30] <krzkrz> i get http://pastie.org/5666815 every time i do sudo apt-get update
[09:30] <dr_willis> halo4:  does  'dir' give any output?
[09:31] <halo4> hey its valid one
[09:31] <odyssey4me> thx tsimpson
[09:31] <bentinata> blue112, what did show to your screen?
[09:31] <dr_willis> and  the output  is?
[09:31] <halo4> its a lot of stuff
[09:31] <halo4> all my files
[09:31] <vtghii> I have installed fglrx drivers via jockey succesfully, then gnome shell is cpu hog, like 50%, the more I use it the more it's cpu hog, don'kt know what to do with the link :(
[09:31] <blue112> bentinata, IRC shows (XChat), because I launch it at startup
[09:32] <bentinata> dr_willis, halo4 is kicked to grub-shell
[09:32] <blue112> bentinata, it has no window decoration. Nothing else shows.
[09:32] <blue112> Oh, yeah, apport shows two few reboot before, said gnome-shell segfaults.
[09:32] <dr_willis> bentinata:  he said he was at LOGIN: earlier.. and that dosent look like a grub prompt to me
[09:32] <krzkrz> anyone?
[09:33] <bentinata> dr_willis, halo4 is forced to grub-shell
[09:33] <dr_willis> bentinata:  im thinking hes at the windows shell ;)
[09:33] <blue112> krzkrz, you got a ppa which is either not compatible with your distribution, or either dead. You should remove it.
[09:33] <halo4> it says contacts desktop documents downloas musics roms potos porn scriipts searches videos
[09:33] <krzkrz> blue112, how do i remove it
[09:33] <blue112> krzkrz, you can find its file at /etc/apt/source.list.d/
[09:33] <blue112> You just have to remove it.
[09:34] <TakeItEZ> i smell a troll
[09:34]  * dr_willis is about ready to clock out from work also.
[09:34] <vtghii> what is the version of fglrx on ubuntu 12.04?
[09:34] <halo4> so my files are not gone
[09:34] <krzkrz> blue112, then just do an rm?
[09:35] <halo4> i just cant log in
[09:35] <blue112> krzkrz, yep, just rm the problematic file in that folder, and apt shouldn't make any noise anymore.
[09:35] <bentinata> blue112, can you open terminal?
[09:35] <blue112> bentinata, I don't think so. I can go to tty1, but I can't have a virtual terminal.
[09:35] <blue112> I can open firefox with clicking a link on this channel :p
[09:36] <poq> Is any software to change memory values for ubuntu such ArtMoney and CheatEngine under win?
[09:36] <krzkrz> thanks blue112
[09:36] <halo4> so i keep my files with re install
[09:36] <halo4> live dise
[09:36] <MoL0ToV> exist a possible to configure ubuntu to automagically place in /media all the smb shares of the local net? as usb sticks and cdrom...
[09:36] <bentinata> halo4, live disc first, then reinstall
[09:37] <blue112> poq, you can access memory at /dev/memory. There's a high probability you crash everything if you don't know what you're doing, though.
[09:37] <halo4> how long should it take
[09:37] <bentinata> blue112, how can you open firefox with xchat? cool!
[09:37] <kepler> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/memory  !!
[09:37] <dr_willis> halo4:  how do we know how many files you have...
[09:37] <blue112> bentinata, yeah but it won't handle focus anymore, so I have to close firefox to go back to xchat :/
[09:38] <halo4> its mostly music
[09:38] <kepler> blue112, you can try to alt+click and move windows around
[09:38] <dr_willis> halo4:  it takes as long as it takes... we dont know how many GB of files you have..
[09:38] <halo4> i have a 16 gb prossesor
[09:38] <bentinata> blue112, "gnome-shell replace"
[09:39] <TakeItEZ> you don't halo4
[09:39] <blue112> kepler, it doesn't work. I can move window by handling then at the menu bar. But focus isn't working, I won't be able to speak here if firefox is open
[09:39] <halo4> it says so in the sticer
[09:39]  * dr_willis has a 8core toaster oven
[09:39] <blue112> bentinata, it complains about not being able to open X11 display (even with export DISPLAY=:0)
[09:39] <halo4> sticker
[09:39] <dr_willis> halo4:  then you need glasses and to read closer.
[09:39] <fishcooker> im on 12.04 where is the control panel?
[09:40] <fishcooker> i can't find .. im used to 10.04
[09:40] <halo4> how do you know what kind of prossesor i have?
[09:41] <bentinata> fishcooker, it's on the right-top
[09:41] <ph1rmw4r3> d
[09:42] <radium> hlw
[09:42] <vtghii> hi, Gnome shell is cp hog with FGLRX installed, how to fix this problem, I have an ati card, enough ram and processor, it's only with fglrx that GS use 50%cpu
[09:42] <blue112> vtghii, if anything graphic is using CPU, your graphic acceleration may be not working.
[09:43] <vtghii> blue112, ty for answer, how to chech if graphic acceleration is workinG?
[09:43] <radium> i'm getting sick of slow speed , please someone guide me if it is a gud idea to use google dns or open dns? i'm  using ubuntu 12.04
[09:43] <blue112> vtghii, I'm not sure, with an ATI card, I'm using an Nvidia.
[09:43] <kepler> vtghii, try sudo amdcccle
[09:43] <m3pow> hello !
[09:43] <WanderingEnder> !hi | m3pow
[09:44] <m3pow> hello !
[09:44] <kepler> it should pop open the control panel for the ati card
[09:44] <blue112> radium, sure, you can use google dns by going into the NetworkManager, and replace the DNS line with <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:44] <dr_willis> radium:  a great many people use both
[09:44] <ph1rmw4r3> okay
[09:44] <m3pow> is there any reason why disk access in Ubuntu 12.10 is that slow. I am running it on an HDX 18
[09:44] <vtghii> kepler, I did it, I have amd conotrol center open
[09:44] <radium> dr_willis: both at same time? rite?
[09:44] <m3pow> i've used 12.04 before and there things seemed to be OK. everything was fast
[09:44] <ph1rmw4r3> well im going to go to bed while i reinstall ubuntu
[09:44] <ph1rmw4r3> ill talk to you later dr willis
[09:44] <dr_willis> radium:  you could if you wanted  i guess
[09:44] <blue112> Since last reboot, gnome-shell won't launch anymore, it segfault just after login. What can I do to fix that ? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
[09:44] <kepler> if you pop on information, does it populate correctly?
[09:45] <dr_willis> i dont see much point in using opendns if you are using googles
[09:45] <radium> Blue112: thanks, but i know that  , my main ques is that . is it really fast to use open dns?
[09:45] <vedarthk> I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on Lenevo U410 which has Nvidia Graphics card, how do I install nvidia drivers ?
[09:45] <m3pow> it is pretty annoying to have a slow experience in Ubuntu
[09:45] <ogist> I like this linux
[09:45] <ph1rmw4r3> goodnight dr_willis
[09:46] <ogist> it is like a macbook
[09:46] <blue112> radium, what is slow exactly ? Is your DNS resolution is slow ?
[09:46] <radium> and one more ques.. how to scroll up .. bcoz there is no scroll bar.. i'm using xchat
[09:46] <radium> blue112: yeah .. very slow
[09:46] <ogist> page up
[09:46] <blue112> radium, then yes, it should speed things up.
[09:46] <radium> local isp isn't really that fast as i thought
[09:46] <ogist> open dns?
[09:46] <radium> ogist thanks :)
[09:46] <blue112> radium, you can try other dns resolution speed by using host command
[09:47] <blue112> host host_to_resolve dns_to_use
[09:47] <radium> blue112: lemme try this .  btw  thanks :)
[09:47] <blue112> No problem.
[09:48] <blue112> Any clue about my gnome-shell bug ?
[09:48] <blue112> [or any channel I can ask for help ?]
[09:48] <radium> blue112?  what kinda bug?
[09:48] <blue112> Since last reboot, gnome-shell won't launch anymore, it segfault just after login.
[09:49] <radium> did u check ur bash profile?
[09:49] <blue112> what about it ?
[09:49] <MonkWitDaFunk> blue112. does your bug make your system.freeze shirtly after booting?
[09:50] <blue112> MonkWitDaFunk, nop, it's not freezing, I'm currently using it. XChat autostarts after startup. It's just I have no window decorator and no gnome-shell top-bar.
[09:50] <radium> for any bad alias? or it maybe corrupted ..any bad configuration
[09:51] <vedarthk> hi, I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on Lenevo U410 which has Nvidia Graphics card, how do I install nvidia drivers ?
[09:51] <blue112> radium, hm, I haven't changed anything in it since last reboot, unfortunately.
[09:51] <blue112> vedarthk, you can download them on the NVidia website, directly.
[09:51] <dr_willis> vedarthk:  package name is  nvidia-current in the repos
[09:51] <blue112> Or use the repository, yes.
[09:51] <dr_willis> vedarthk:  dont use the ones from the nvidia site if you can avoid it
[09:51] <radium> blue112: no clue sir
[09:51] <blue112> mkay
[09:52] <vedarthk> dr_willis thank you
[09:52] <vedarthk> blue112 thank you
[09:52] <blue112> ¬_¬
[09:53] <MonkWitDaFunk> with vedarthk's issue, would doing a clean install get his/her drivers?
[09:53] <blue112> !nvidia | blue112
[09:53] <svneo> hi, i'm getting WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/user/.cache/keyring-GT4vfX/pkcs11: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type  every time i "svn up"; how can i solve that?
[09:53] <dr_willis> dident even see them sttate an issue, just asked how to install the nvida drivers
[09:54] <MonkWitDaFunk> righy
[09:54] <dr_willis> svneo:  its just a warning.. are you saying the command is failing?
[09:54] <MonkWitDaFunk> right*
[09:55] <MonkWitDaFunk> eit
[09:55] <svneo> dr_willis: no it's working fine
[09:55] <svneo> dr_willis: but if possible i'd like to avoid the warning
[09:55] <MonkWitDaFunk> sorry about my text ppl
[09:56] <radium> could someone please tell me where to find host file? in ubuntu 12.04?
[09:56] <TakeItEZ> radium:  /etc/hosts
[09:56] <NuSuey> is there a way to be notified when the new ati drivers are out? no rss/newsletter?articles somewhere?
[09:56] <radium> TakeItEZ : thank you :)
[09:56] <chamunks> Ive got an error restarting apache http://puu.sh/1MmaW make_sock:could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80 which strikes me as an odd thing to say
[09:57] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: sudo lsof -i :80                  anything listening/blocking the port?
[09:57] <chamunks> apparently i needed to remember to sudo but now im getting could not
[09:57] <JornStian> http://lino.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/quantal/universe/base/xserver-xorg-video-displaylink <--- Latest version:	*DELETED*
[09:57] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, I fudged a silly and didnt sudo
[09:58] <JornStian> how can I figure out why the package have been dropped?
[09:58] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, http://puu.sh/1MmbN this is the echo
[10:00] <TomyLaptop> can "kdesudo -u otheruser /home/otheruser/one_of_his_programs" harm me?
[10:02] <Grievre> Hey um... so the ubuntu article on creating bootable USB sticks doesn't tell you how to do it from non-ubuntu distributions
[10:02] <Grievre> only ubuntu, windows and mac os
[10:04] <extropy> so I moved a boot disk from one computer to another, didn't work, moved it back to original, now it won't boot
[10:04] <dr_willis> hmm,, seems displaylink monitors (and the company)  have a bit of a history with  poor linux support
[10:05] <extropy> any particular reason why ubuntu installation CDs don't have some sort of "repair boot manager" option?
[10:05] <dr_willis> Grievre:  the pendrivelinux site should have tools for several disrtos... or you can 'dd' the iso file to the  usb from most any linux disrto
[10:05] <Grievre> dr_willis: Okay, does that work?
[10:05] <extropy> serious, what's with all this fancy schmancy "EUFI" crap? seems to be just getting in my way. What can't I just set a damn boot flag and be done with it?
[10:06] <dr_willis> extropy:  there is a boot-repair livce cd you can get.  its 32 and 64bit compatiable
[10:06] <dr_willis> Grievre:  dd? should work its the simpleist way
[10:06] <extropy> dr_willis I shouldn't be needing to repair anything to begin with.
[10:06] <TakeItEZ> Grievre: cat/dd works, if the iso is an hybrid-iso (as most actual linux-iso are)
[10:06] <JornStian> dr_willis: does that mean that canonical dropped the package because it was unstable?
[10:06] <dr_willis> extropy:  you asked a question. i answered... so whatever
[10:06] <Grievre> okay but are the ubuntu ISOs like that
[10:06] <extropy> I never did anything (intentionally) to invalidate my SSD's boot-worthiness
[10:07] <dr_willis> JornStian:  from what im reading at askubuntu.com theres a bit of a  history of poor support.
[10:07] <extropy> dr_willis: why should I need an entire LiveCD just to set a damn boot flag? who the hell decided Ubuntu should be so freaking complicated?
[10:07] <dr_willis> JornStian:  and i was wanting to get one of those things
[10:07] <dr_willis> extropy:   this is a support channel. not a ranting channel.
[10:08] <TakeItEZ> Grievre: they are
[10:08] <Grievre> extropy: What do you mean "why should I need an entire livecd just to set a boot flag", you need an OS to boot into before you can do anything
[10:08] <dr_willis> Grievre:  the ability to dd the iso  straight to flash  has only worked with the latest 2-3 releases of ubuntu i belive.
[10:08] <extropy> Grievre: Ubuntu's default livecd should be sufficient. I'm not suggesting, I'm insisting.
[10:08] <bentinata> anyone?
[10:09] <JornStian> dr_willis: well... for now you can hold that purchase.. it's not close to working :|
[10:09] <bentinata> someone notice me?
[10:09] <dr_willis> JornStian:  yep. was wanting one for my RaspberryPi
[10:09] <Grievre> extropy: oh you can't do it with the default livecd? I would have thought you should be able to
[10:09] <extropy> Grievre: seems like a no-brainer to me, just sayin'
[10:10] <Grievre> I'm unfamiliar with UEFI, what's the issue here?
[10:10] <TakeItEZ> extropy: why shouldn't you be able to set a boot-flag on a partition with the standard-live-cd?
[10:10] <dr_willis> You can install boot-repair with the live cd. (to ram)
[10:10] <dr_willis> you can set flags with cfdisk or parted i imagine
[10:10] <extropy> TakeItEZ: that is a great, questions: something something ext4
[10:10] <qwiksilver711_> anyone here familiar with getting 12.04 functional on an alienware m14x?
[10:11] <TakeItEZ> extropy: "man parted"
[10:11] <extropy> dr_willis: that would be the advice I'm looking for
[10:11] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, do you think I can define two ServerName's in sites-available/siteA like ServerName siteA.com then Servername www.siteA.com
[10:11] <chamunks> would that work?
[10:11] <TakeItEZ> chamunks: idk, i don't deal with apache
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> !anyone | qwiksilver711_
[10:12] <chamunks> TakeItEZ, fair enough
[10:12] <Grievre> extropy: what error are you getting when you try to boot?
[10:12] <extropy> TakeItEZ: parted has nothing to do with it ... otherwise I wouldn't be her. if is was just a matter of setting a boot flag I'd be done
[10:12] <extropy> "Reboot and Select propert Boot device"
[10:13] <extropy> EFI, ext4 and swap partitions all seem to be in good shape, no idea why it won't freaking boot
[10:13] <TakeItEZ> extropy: 11:07 < extropy> dr_willis: why should I need an entire LiveCD just to set a damn boot flag?  so what do you really want to do? please give info and stop your pointless rants
[10:13] <Grievre> dr_willis: should I dd onto the drive or onto a partition on the drive?
[10:13] <dr_willis> Grievre:  the drive  always the drive
[10:13] <Grievre> extropy: is your BIOS configured right?
[10:13] <extropy> TakaItEZ: I'm over simplifying there. I *should* just be able to set a boot flag, problem solved. The fact is I can't.
[10:13] <dr_willis> Grievre:  and DONT get the wrong drive. ;)(
[10:14] <gsommer> I've created a patch for a dep package (paps) - I wouln't mind giving it back to the community (either as .patch, or as dep package)... I just can't figure out who to contact - and how to do this? :/
[10:15] <agsel> I disable some shortcuts from keyboard settings, but they still work
[10:15] <extropy> how about someone just brief me on what Ubuntu is doing these days for their bootmanager. I can tell somethings new.
[10:15] <guest16> IIRC the UEFI system partition (the boot partition) must be a FAT
[10:15] <guest16> not ext...
[10:16] <extropy> when did Ubuntu move to this UEFI thing? its somehow convinced itself that my JumpDrive is a bootable partition and nothing else
[10:17] <MonkeyDust> extropy  it didnt, it was forced to follow
[10:17] <dr_willis> computers are moveing to using UEFI
[10:17] <dr_willis> if i have a flash drive set up correctly ive noticed the bios shows it as a uefi disk
[10:17] <dr_willis> some times it shows it as both a uefi disk and a non uefi disk
[10:17] <dr_willis> and i could boot it either way
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> extropy  UEFI replaces BIOS, it has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[10:18] <extropy> dr_willis: mine seems to have taken over, asserting that it's USB Flash drive is my *only* boot partition.
[10:19] <extropy> guess I don't see how any of this stuff is necessary
[10:19] <chamunks> Do i need to run a2ensite every time I edit files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/?
[10:20] <extropy> Extensible Firmware: as in ... the world's slickest hardware backdoor?
[10:21] <dr_willis> its what exists.. so it really dosent matter
[10:21] <qwiksilver711_> does the iso download set up the dual boot loader on its own?
[10:21] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  what iso download?
[10:21] <extropy> why do I get the feeling like I have to boot from my disk to get my computer to boot from my disk?
[10:21] <qwiksilver711_> just the 12.04 one
[10:21] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  a normal install should set up grub to dual boot a  system
[10:21] <qwiksilver711_> i was going to install it in the morning
[10:22] <qwiksilver711_> as long as its not going to trash things
[10:22] <qwiksilver711_> i tried with 10.4 and it was rough for me
[10:22] <extropy> "oh hey, we *can* boot from your SSD ... we'll just do that by default from now on, sorry for the inconvenience. Any idea how it got like this to begin with?"
[10:22] <dijit> Hallo
[10:23] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis thank you for the answer
[10:23] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  make backups
[10:23] <dr_willis> always have backups
[10:24] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis: of course, already have the drive imaged to my nas
[10:24] <extropy> incidentally I have no use for a "boot repair" livecd seeing as how I don't have a cdrom, or any flash drives available not that I'm even going to bother assuming thats an option ...
[10:24] <dijit> Ok, I've googled extensively
[10:24] <extropy> this should really be a one-line thing I can do from Ubuntu's live cd "sudo fixmydisk" ...
[10:25] <dijit> so I'm hoping someone by chance sees this.
[10:25] <TakeItEZ> extropy: try switching your computer to bios-boot and stop your pointless rants here
[10:25] <dijit> I have a server (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS)
[10:25] <dijit> which will not boot.
[10:25] <dijit> it drops to busy box with the line "could not find /dev/mapper/<servername>-root
[10:26] <dijit> however, not only does the block device exist, it's mountable
[10:26] <dr_willis> dijit:  you ae using lvm? or raid?
[10:26] <dijit> both.
[10:26] <dijit> raid1 (hardware)
[10:26] <dijit> and lvm.
[10:26] <svneo> hi, i'm getting WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/user/.cache/keyring-GT4vfX/pkcs11: No such file or directory  every time i "svn up"; how can i solve this warning?
[10:27] <extropy> TakeItEZ: care to elaborate or should I just continue ranting instead?
[10:27] <TakeItEZ> extropy: what part you don't understand?
[10:28] <extropy> the entire part
[10:28] <extropy> starting when you wrote something
[10:28] <extropy> set my computer to bios-boot ... is that supposed to mean something to me at all?
[10:28] <qwiksilver711_> extropy: I think TakeItEZ meant to suggest you set the boot option in the bios to the HDD
[10:28] <qwiksilver711_> or SDD
[10:28] <qwiksilver711_> SSD* sorry
[10:29] <extropy> qwiksilver711_ thanks, it's amazing what a little clarity can achieve.
[10:29] <dijit> dr_willis; I assumed it was taking too long to pvscan so I set rootdelay=60
[10:29] <qwiksilver711_> extropy no problem
[10:29] <dijit> which also does not work.
[10:29] <dr_willis> dijit:  i never use raid or lvm. so ive got no real suggestions
[10:29] <dijit> balls. cheers anyway.
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> dijit  try in #ubuntu-server
[10:30] <ogist> ubuntu server
[10:30] <ogist> heh
[10:31] <Grievre> I don't know why the word "webinar" makes me so irrationally angry
[10:32] <qwiksilver711_> are the new versions of ubuntu more friendly with laptops running nvidia optimus?
[10:32] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  its still a work in progress
[10:32] <kepler> qwiksilver711_, nothing linux is friendly with optimus (yet)
[10:32] <extropy> I see bios_grub in Gparted, is that what I want?
[10:32] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis the thing that turned me off when i used 10.04 was that i couldnt force the nvidia off
[10:32] <qwiksilver711_> extropy no
[10:32] <extropy> no "bios-boot", should I be using something else?
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> qwiksilver711_  nvidia is to blame for that
[10:33] <qwiksilver711_> extropy its like the actual bios options
[10:33] <qwiksilver711_> extropy nothing to do with gparted, its the screeen that comes up withen you first boot, and you hit like f2 to get into it
[10:33] <qwiksilver711_> extrop should have an option there to change the boot priority list
[10:34] <qwiksilver711_> so, even if ubuntu forces both my graphics cards to run i'm still going to do it this time
[10:34] <qwiksilver711_> if i have a 13 button mouse is it possible to use something to map those buttons to something?
[10:34] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  should be possible
[10:35] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  ive seen some well done arch linux wiki pages for some specific mice
[10:35] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis i poked around for that a bit tonight, but was unable to find anything for my mouse, its not a super common make
[10:35] <extropy> call me crazy but I think this EUFI thing is just a slippery slope to hardware backdoors and Chernobyl-virus like hardware bricking down the road /rant
[10:36] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  the gernal guides may show what commands/tools they use
[10:36] <jpds> extropy: Have you been to Chernobyl?
[10:36] <extropy> no but I've had doesn't of systems wiped by WinCH
[10:36] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis i read something about something called xorg?
[10:36] <extropy> *dozens
[10:36] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  thats  the X server.
[10:36] <arkonten> can any one explain why Ubuntu Software Center's search can't find the samtools package when I search for 'samtools'? I can find it in aptitude and the various cmd line apt tools without issue
[10:37] <extropy> Ubuntu Software Center != debians own repos, I believe ...
[10:37] <dr_willis> arkonten:  theres some 'advanced/command line/other' filters at the bottom i recall
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> extropy  maybe you should read some background information about UEFI, what it is, why it's there etc
[10:37] <dr_willis> i never use software center
[10:37] <JornStian> extropy: I for one, welcome UEFI.. getting rid of legacy AT-support and whatnot will bring us forward loads
[10:37] <dr_willis> MonkeyDust:  dont confuse things with facts!
[10:38] <extropy> MonkeyDust maybe I'm already doing that and it doesn't seem all that necessary
[10:38] <arkonten> dr_willis: I've seen that for other queries, but I get nothing for samtools.
[10:39] <qwiksilver711_> is it better to run 32 or 64 bit?
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> qwiksilver711_  64bit on 64bit hardware
[10:40] <dr_willis> i use 64bit os on allmy 64bit hardware
[10:40] <TakeItEZ> qwiksilver711_: if your cpu supports 64bit, there is no reason to use 32bit
[10:40] <qwiksilver711_> i thought so, my cpu will support it
[10:41] <extropy> for being so fancy, new and allegedly useful, it sure seems to be doing nothing for me besides get in my way
[10:41] <dr_willis> take it to #ubuntu-offtioic
[10:41] <qwiksilver711_> minecraft works with 12.04 right?
[10:41] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  ive heard it does
[10:42] <qwiksilver711_> hooray
[10:42] <extropy> on EUFI: " It does not solve any of the BIOS's long-standing problems of requiring two different drivers—one for the firmware and one for the operating system—for most hardware."
[10:42] <dr_willis> qwiksilver711_:  i think it needs the oracle java
[10:42] <dr_willis> extropy:  enough allready.. we dont care
[10:42] <TomyLaptop> can "kdesudo -u otheruser /home/otheruser/one_of_his_programs" harm me?
[10:42] <extropy> dr_willis: clearly, you don't. which is why I'll stop ranting when I feel like it.
[10:42] <qwiksilver711_> dr_willis thats fine, if it will run on something i'll figure out how to make it work
[10:43] <dr_willis> TomyLaptop:  worse case it could affect your users home files yes.
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> extropy  no rants here, please
[10:43] <TomyLaptop> dr_willis, damn. can i prevent this?
[10:43] <extropy>  EFI [is] an attempt to remove the ability of the user to truly control the computer.
[10:44] <Tager> extropy: how so?
[10:44] <Grievre> extropy: It's primarily an attempt to replace the extremely outdated PC boot sequence with something more modern. Some people see it as what you describe, though
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> extropy  richard stallman uses his own custom BIOS, maybe you should contact him
[10:44] <dr_willis> TomyLaptop:    that would be the worse case. if you are worried about it. log out and back in as the user in question. ive never really tried any exploits. so im not sure how su could come 'back' to your home. bu
[10:44] <TakeItEZ> !ot
[10:44] <extropy> MonkeyDust: I'll contact Theo DeRaadt first
[10:45] <TomyLaptop> dr_willis, how about kdesudo su otheruser -c ...
[10:45] <dr_willis> TomyLaptop:  ive never heard of suing to a user being an issue. but   the user does have some rights to your X display and other stuff so its not totally isolated
[10:45] <dr_willis> TomyLaptop:  that may just add more confusion and loopholes..
[10:45] <Grievre> Why is the default block size for dd so small
[10:45] <Grievre> like laughably small, to the point where it bottlenecks the transfer
[10:45] <dr_willis> Grievre:  because the source code is so old. ;)
[10:45] <TakeItEZ> Grievre: historical reasons i guess
[10:46] <dr_willis> Grievre:  ive heard some disrtos have dds block size bigger but never noticed
[10:46] <Tager> dr_willis: via an alias?
[10:46] <k3lt> Hey, i have a question
[10:47] <MonkeyDust> k3lt  shoot
[10:47] <dr_willis> i seem to recall a forim/discussion where  someones dd had a larger default block size. i dont rember who/what/where
[10:47] <dijit> http://superuser.com/questions/256856/ubuntu-alert-dev-mapper-localhost-root-does-not-exist-dropping-to-a-shell
[10:47] <dijit> :(
[10:47] <k3lt> just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and i wanna stay on it, how can I filter out the 12.10 Ubuntu update ?
[10:47] <k3lt> on the ubuntu software update center
[10:48] <dr_willis> k3lt:  the lts version shouldent be asking to upgrade to non-lts unless youve checked the option in the software center/software sources setting
[10:48] <k3lt> ok, thanks
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> dijit  have you asked in #ubuntu-server?
[10:49] <dijit> yes
[10:49] <dijit> it's very dead.
[10:50] <diverdude> Hello, can i mount a remote ftp-directory somehow in nautilus? Maybe even safe it so that it automounts on boot up?
[10:50] <ee12155> luigy
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> is there a quick mp4 to avi converter for ubuntu?
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  avconv -i
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> !info avconv
[10:51] <dr_willis> diverdude: fuseftp or ftpfuse tools can do it. as one way
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> lotuspsychje  mind adding some options, to avoid quality loss
[10:52] <dr_willis> ffmpeg is avconv I thought
[10:52] <MonkeyDust> yes, it's the new generation ffmpeg
[10:52] <jrib> libav-tools
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> ok tnx guys, installing libavtools
[10:53] <extropy> huh, everyone seems to need support with linux issues that have nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:53] <hell_> hi
[10:54] <extropy> I'm always in here with real-world problems that relate directly to ubuntu and I always get they snarky "take it to ubuntu-offtopic" crap ...
[10:54] <dr_willis> your ranting is the issue for it.
[10:54] <jrib> extropy: like what?  What you're saying now certainly isn't an ubuntu support question ;)
[10:54] <Serano> extropy well since ubuntu is the most beginner friendly distro, that shouldn't be surprising
[10:54] <extropy> I'm starting to think you guys are just intimidated by anyone even remotely knowledgeable ... and would prefere to interact only with noobs who will *never* ask any hard-hitting questions.
[10:55] <Serano> anyway it's nice to see the curiosity :)
[10:55] <jrib> extropy: seriously, let's stick to support.
[10:55] <extropy> do try
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> extropy  it's n00bs, but better use the word 'beginner'
[10:57] <mesquka> Hi
[10:58] <diverdude> dr_willis, I tried adding this to my /etc/fstab curlftpfs#uname:pwd@host /media/mountpoint fuse rw,allow_other,noauto,user 0 0     and do sudo mount -a. But it does not seem to mount anything. Is that totally wrong to do?
[10:58] <nabdev> hy, i want to install pdfgrep but i have message error in make install http://pastebin.com/qi31zhbY
[10:59] <TakeItEZ> diverdude: your user is member of the fuse-group? (id or groups tell you)
[10:59] <diverdude> TakeItEZ, in my local machine?
[10:59] <TakeItEZ> diverdude: sure
[10:59] <diverdude> TakeItEZ, how do i tell?
[11:00] <Serano> id username
[11:00] <TakeItEZ> diverdude: "id" or "groups"
[11:00] <agsel> if I disable some keyboard shortcuts, how do I apply those changes? I remembered that they apply automatically (as there is no button like save nor apply), but those shortcuts still work. unity @ lts 12.04
[11:00] <dr_willis> bbl

[11:02] <day> anyone here running league of legends via wine on ubuntu? any trouble?
[11:02] <Serano> day its works
[11:02] <Serano> there is a bug in the shop though
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> day: did you try playonlinux?
[11:02] <qwiksilver711_> does borderlands 2 run via wine?
[11:02] <Serano> or at least there was. but besides that it works
[11:02] <MonkeyDust> !appdb | qwiksilver711_
[11:02] <day> Serano: the rune buy bug?
[11:03] <qwiksilver711_> MonkeyDust thank you, sorry for being a n00b
[11:03] <Serano> i'm sorry can't recall exactly. It's been over 6 months I had it installed. I remember the problem was that you were not able to buy from the Riot store.
[11:03] <Serano> but besides that, the game runned fine for me
[11:04] <Serano> now with the new overhaul of their interface, i'm not sure if the problem still exists
[11:04] <mrosmrducks> is defekt still on here?
[11:04] <extropy> this is boring. I'm not going to accomplish anything here, what else is new?
[11:05] <Serano> i love my rasp :)
[11:06] <mrosmrducks> can someone help me... i dled the ubuntu 32bit and tryed running with vbox and had no luck... defekt suggested i re dl and still had no luck... i tryed the check sum app and it said they do not compare... ne suggestions?
[11:06] <ichat> can anyone help me figure out how to troubleshoot and  fix  some  hardware  / chipset / bios-efi  issues with my sandy bridge    b830  notebook,  it wont halt anymore  just reboots when its halted...
[11:06] <extropy> HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
[11:06] <Serano> mrosmrducks try installing it with apt-get
[11:06] <extropy> ichat welcome to the club
[11:06] <mrosmrducks> but i want to try to run it first before i install it
[11:06] <Serano> it should download any dependencies
[11:07] <ichat> extropy:  - same problem?
[11:07] <extropy> oh yeah
[11:07] <extropy> EUFI is the devil
[11:07] <jpds> extropy: Can you stop the random bashing?
[11:07] <extropy> jpds: not until the problem is fixed
[11:07] <diverdude> TakeItEZ, that did not help
[11:07] <Serano> extropy i'm not familiar with uefi system, since i love my 980x but is it such a pain?
[11:08] <diverdude> TakeItEZ, it still dont mount
[11:08] <jrib> extropy: then I'm going to have to remove you.  Please just stick to support here.
[11:08] <Serano> was thinking of upgrading soon
[11:08] <extropy> jrib: i'm here for support. Ban dr_willis and MonkeyDust if you *actually* want to remove any trolls. Otherwise I have plenty of proxies I can use ...
[11:09] <ichat> extropy:  first it went fine,    BUT  my wifi module had problems  when it went hybernate...  so i added the    realtec driver to  some   file  so that it unloads   before hybernation...
[11:09] <ichat> after that  change   (but im not sure if its the cause)   i notices my system wouldn  halt anymore
[11:09] <arashmousavi> I have connected to my server via ssh and create a process , but suddenly my internet connection disconnected. I know that process going on, but how can restore previous session to see the progress of it?
[11:09] <ixio2> anyone fancy telling me how I can use find to find the first 2500 files in a directory and move them to another ?
[11:10] <jrib> ixio2: first in what order?
[11:10] <jpds> arashmousavi: Not unless you used something like screen or byobu.
[11:10] <bekks> arashmousavi: There is no session to be restored after the ssh session was broken.
[11:10] <ixio2> jrid I dont care really
[11:10] <sw> Hi, I have a user 'backups' trying to access a samba share \\ip\backups from a Windows machine but can't get authorized. It's using the correct password and is in write users for that share. root is too and that works.
[11:10] <Serano> arashmousavi try using the screen program to have multiple session where you can disconnect from and reattach to
[11:10] <diverdude> I tried adding this to my /etc/fstab curlftpfs#uname:pwd@host /media/mountpoint fuse rw,allow_other,noauto,user 0 0     and do sudo mount -a. But it does not seem to mount anything. Is that totally wrong to do?
[11:10] <sw> Any help?
[11:11] <ixio2> I just want to move 2500 files at a time
[11:11] <jrib> ixio2: why only 2500?  Anyway, check out xargs.
[11:12] <mrosmrducks> my ubuntu wont run... says i have no pae kernel... NE help?
[11:12] <arashmousavi> no way?
[11:12] <diverdude> anyone?
[11:12] <jrib> arashmousavi: well why don't you connect to the server again and see if the process is even running anymore?
[11:13] <ixio2> ok I can understand xargs.. but what about finding the first 2500 files
[11:13] <ichat> jpds:  any help maybe? -
[11:13] <jrib> ixio2: xargs lets you specify the number of arguments
[11:13] <jpds> ichat: find . -type f | head -n 2500
[11:14] <jrib> ixio2: so you can do 2500 at a time as you said
[11:14] <ichat> jpds:  what does that do?
[11:14] <arashmousavi> jrib: I know, but the process gives me some information(output) that is necessary.
[11:14] <jpds> ichat: Sorry, that was for ixio2.
[11:14] <jrib> arashmousavi: so is the answer yes or no?  Is the process still running?
[11:14] <ichat> ow ok
[11:15] <ixio2> find . -type f | head -n 2500 -exec mv '{}' /new/path \;  <-- like this ?
[11:15] <bekks> ixio2: No.
[11:15] <bekks> ixio2: find . -type f | head -n 2500 | xargs ...
[11:15] <arashmousavi> jrib: yes
[11:16] <mrosmrducks> should i try dling the 64bit ubuntu for my 64bit win7 instead of the 32bit? maybe that would solve the prob
[11:16] <jrib> arashmousavi: what is the process and how did you start it?
[11:16] <bekks> mrosmrducks: That wont help you.
[11:16] <ixio2> find . -type f | head -n 2500 | xargs mv /new/path
[11:16] <mrosmrducks> =/
[11:16] <ixio2> like that ?
[11:16] <mrosmrducks> ne suggestions?
[11:16] <jrib> ixio2: can you say why you want to move 2500 at a time and not more?
[11:17] <diverdude> anyone?
[11:17] <jrib> !anyone | diverdude
[11:17] <ixio2> jrib when they reach their desination they are procesed by another script which gets upset with too many files
[11:17] <jrib> !helpme | diverdude
[11:17] <bono> ixio2: find . -type f | head -n 2500 | xargs -i mv "{}" /new/path
[11:17] <ixio2> thanks everyone!
[11:18] <jrib> ixio2: I see.  I would still say avoiding head and using xargs is going to be easier for you to work with.  Otherwise, you're going to be back here in two minutes asking how to get the second set of 2500 files
[11:18] <ixio2> I presumed by moving the files I could just run the same command again?
[11:19] <jrib> ixio2: good point :)
[11:19] <ixio2> cool
[11:19] <superkuh> This is a long shot, but, has anyone else had a problem with ATI/AMD Radeon cards wherein you cannot play more than 4 videos at once, in any player with any rendering method? The 5th always only plays sound.
[11:19] <ixio2> superkuh all my ati related video.sound issues are always resolved by downloading the development release of the driver from the AMD website
[11:20] <superkuh> Unfortunately my X server on Ubuntu 10.04 isn't compatible with the latest.
[11:20] <superkuh> I really wish I could.
[11:20] <bono> ixio2: problem: what if the filenames contain spaces .. normally one would use find .. -print0 | xargs -0 ..  but with head it wouldn't work
[11:20] <superkuh> Or, I wish I was wrong?
[11:20] <superkuh> Am I?
[11:21] <k3lt> So im now trying to install FGLRX ati drivers for my gfx (hd7850)
[11:21] <bono> ixio2: dunno if xargs -0 --max-lines 2500 works for this
[11:21] <k3lt> installed it and im getting "unsupported hardware" in my right screen corner
[11:21] <adamk> superkuh: Do you get any errors when you run the video player from a terminal window?
[11:21] <k3lt> what's that?
[11:22] <ixio2> bono the files will have lots of spaces
[11:22] <ixio2> its moved them though
[11:22] <bono> ixio2: the filenames too?
[11:23] <superkuh> ... as is often the case I have discovered it was user error only after complaining on IRC. With the gl renderer (which all my video players used) I hit that limit. If I switch to other renders which have horiztonal tearing I can go beyond 4.
[11:23] <ixio2> filenames yeah
[11:23] <diverdude> jrib, as i said,  I tried adding this to my /etc/fstab curlftpfs#uname:pwd@host /media/mountpoint fuse rw,allow_other,noauto,user 0 0     and do sudo mount -a. But it does not seem to mount anything. Is that totally wrong to do?
[11:23] <jrib> diverdude: I don't know.  I would have answered you if you did.  Just wanted to let you know that saying "anyone?" is not productive. Most people that just joined will have no idea what your question is.
[11:26] <Eagleman> How do i flush the dns cache in ubuntu/bind, dig is still resolving the wrong stuff
[11:29] <jrib> bono, ixio2: yes, if there are spaces in the names you should use -print0 with find and -0 with xargs.  You can still have head in between
[11:29] <kepler> Eagleman, try "sudo killall -HUP dnsmasq"
[11:30] <kepler> Eagleman, if not, this looks better:  sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start
[11:35] <diverdude> in /etc/fstab i have this: curlftpfs#uname:pwd@ftp://host /media/ftpmountdir fuse rw,uid=1000,umask=0777,user,suid,allow_other,exec,auto,utf8 0 1. But when i do sudo mount -a i get: Error connecting to ftp: Access denied: 530. However if i put the exact same credentials into filezilla it connects with no problems. What am I missing?
[11:39] <Kartagis> anyone to help? I've been asking for days but no answer
[11:39] <Kartagis> in cairo-dock, I've accidentally moved pidgin into firefox dock. how can I undo that?
[11:40] <Johnnie> Where is a folder for Operative Memory (DDR3 used)? I want to use hex editor. And I need to know where that memory places.
[11:41] <Johnnie> ! memory
[11:41] <bekks> Johnnie: /proc/kmem -- be careful, that file is as big as your RAM.
[11:47] <dr_willis> Kartagis:  why not just remove both and re-add them
[11:49] <Kartagis> dr_willis: I'm looking at cairo properties, pidgin is not there
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  there's also #cairo and #cairo-dock (irc channels)
[11:50] <Johnnie> bekks:thanks
[11:50] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: I'm in #cairo-dock, no life
[11:51] <dr_willis> You can use the cairo-dock settngs tool where it has a >bottom dock and  >left dock   and drag things between the 2
[11:52] <xsobex787> dr. willis, do you know anything about php and html?
[11:52] <dr_willis> a little tree menu widgit. you can drag/drop from tree/branch to the next
[11:52] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  nope. i rarely need to mess with it
[11:52] <Kartagis> dr_willis: what package?
[11:52] <Kartagis> xsobex787: what is your issue?
[11:52] <xsobex787> if anybody in here has some experience, im having alittle difficulty there.  ty for any takers
[11:52] <dr_willis> Kartagis:  im just looking at the cairo-dock settings dialog box.
[11:53] <nodoor> can anybody tell me how to crack WIFI key, with aircrac
[11:53] <skp1> can someone tell me how to change my file associations so that when i click on a downloaded file (a .deb file) it opns with gdebi instead of software center?
[11:53] <dr_willis> nodoor:  not really a Ubuntu support question.
[11:53] <xsobex787> im trying to make a submit form for admins to recieve that form data via email im using a php script and an html file, i got the disign situation with the html, however the php script returns a white blank page, the server is currently not at its home location also.
[11:54] <MonkeyDust> skp1  right click on it, open with
[11:54] <skp1> MonkeyDust: what if i wanted t open it from chrome?
[11:54] <dr_willis> skp1:  gdebi has a gui front end you may need to install. 'gdebi' is a cli tool
[11:54] <skp1> dr_willis: oh, i didnt know that
[11:54] <dr_willis> !info gdebi
[11:54] <antonio_> for some reason some fonts are being rendered all messed up on firefox now...
[11:54] <antonio_> Here is an example
[11:54] <antonio_>  http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshot-2_zps752cc34a.png
[11:55] <dr_willis> theres gdebi and gdebi-gtk i think
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> skp1  correction: right click, properties, open with => you can "set as default"
[11:55] <Zhaboo> hi all, I want to run a _minimal_ version of KDE in a virtual machine (without all bells and whistles), any suggestions to which distro/package to look at? I am considering for example only installing debian and run apt-get install <some-kde-app> and then let it install its dependencies.
[11:55] <skp1> MonkeyDust: thank you
[11:55] <ichat> can anyone help me  troubleshooting why my system reboots instead of halted,    im thinking of installing  the from the mainline ppa  but it seams that it would   disbable  me from updating the kernel later on and i would have to   do it manually for ever?
[11:55] <challenger> i'm trying to install XP in virtualbox. I've created VHD at fixed 30GB size . but now if i'm trying to boot xp.iso . it starts normally but after some time it says "setup did not find any hard disk "
[11:55] <challenger> http://imagebin.org/242488
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> Zhaboo  you need plasma-desktop
[11:56] <bekks> Zhaboo: How is that related to Ubuntu then?
[11:56] <nodoor> Can I move(have) aircrack in ubuntu ?
[11:56] <antonio_> so it looks like its only happening on firefox and not other browsers...
[11:56] <bekks> challenger: a) use vdi instead of vhd and b) do not use a SATA controller, but an IDE controller for XP.
[11:57] <Zhaboo> bekks: I wonder if there are any minimalist ubuntu versions with KDE that I could also consider.
[11:57] <ichat> challenger:  -1 small itp for you to search on... driverpacks.net    use the  mass storage pack    ALLWAYS  check for virusses first...
[11:57] <dr_willis> !mini | Zhaboo
[11:58] <truexfan404> Zhaboo: i believe i remember the ubuntu minimal iso having an option for the kubuntu desktop
[11:58] <Kartagis> whew
[11:58] <challenger> bekks, ichat : thanks guys , :)
[11:58] <Kartagis> I got it back
[11:58] <dr_willis> Zhaboo:  check out that qtrazor project also.
[11:58] <truexfan404> ^
[11:58] <dr_willis> Kartagis:  and now you go 'why dident i try that earlier' ;)
[11:58] <truexfan404> Zhaboo: i have tried razorqt, its nice
[11:59] <Kartagis> dr_willis: some icons duplicated though
[12:00] <challenger> bekks,  i'm using IDE controller and VHD was working for me on windows 7 and for ever other distro
[12:00] <marsfligth> Hi, on Precise the screen blank after 10 mins even if all settings (power and brightness) are set to still the monitor always on. How can I solve it? Thanks
[12:00] <challenger> bcoz its a standard . i want to use that VHD on other virtual machine emulators too
[12:00] <jnhghy> Hi, how/where can I set up a white list of sites to be accessible and all of the rest redirect to a specific ip address? using ubuntu 12.04
[12:00] <bekks> challenger: which doesnt change the fact that vhd isnt the native format virtualbox is using, and does not offer you all of the features offered for vdi.
[12:01] <ichat> challenger like is said  use driverpacks...  on your xp iso, it will add not hardware support including sata and  iscsi   ...
[12:01] <bekks> ichat: Driver packs are not needed, SP3 is needed.
[12:02] <ichat> bekks:  - i didn  know that sp3 added new hardware support to :P
[12:02] <ichat> anyway to mutch off topic for #ubuntu :P
[12:02] <Fudge> hi hoping someone may be able to help me, I have been for some weeks trying to get a windows laptop to print to my ubuntu cups with a usb hp deskjet
[12:02] <Fudge> at the stage now where a test page is sent but not printed, prints fine from ubuntu systems
[12:03] <challenger> bekks, could you elaborate whats the difference between VHD and VDI ( in terms of features),
[12:03] <dr_willis> Fudge:  the windows box sees the printer and can add it then?
[12:03] <wizrd> static void Main(string[] args)
[12:03] <wizrd> { Console.WriteLine("Hello World !")
[12:03] <wizrd> }sorry
[12:03] <challenger> wizrd :P
[12:03] <wizrd> my bad
[12:03] <Zhaboo> truexfan404: ok, thanks! will check :-)
[12:03] <asdf321> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1519636/ I've just installed ubuntu amd64 lts, I want to run boot repair to see if it will work after I install windows, I am trying to run it... I have two encrypted volumes one for the / and other for the swap, i have a not encrypted /boot. it tried creating a /bios but it didn't work i still get the same message
[12:03] <truexfan404> Fudge: do you have the printer shared via samba? thats the easiest way
[12:04] <challenger> yeah vdi is native format for virtualbox but i want to use that format on vmplayer too
[12:04] <ichat> funch:  so isntall the proper windows driver and have it connected via the correct,  protocol and be sure that  cubs is actually sharing it... or beter yet have samba share the printer for you
[12:04] <challenger> thats why i choose VHD
[12:04] <bekks> challenger: Resizing, compacting, etc.
[12:04] <challenger> not sure if vdi works on vmplayer too
[12:04] <Zhaboo> ubottu: thanks for the link
[12:04] <bekks> challenger: Then I'd use VMDK instead of VHD...
[12:04] <Fudge> hi dr_willis, I can find it on win7 yes, can access server:631 fine, can release the test page but it does not print
[12:05] <Zhaboo> ooops, heh
[12:05] <jnhghy> Fudge: what printer?
[12:05] <jnhghy> Hi, how/where can I set up a white list of sites to be accessible and all of the rest redirect to a specific ip address? using ubuntu 12.04
[12:06] <bekks> jnhghy: /etc/hosts is what you are looking for.
[12:06] <challenger> nywys.. bekks  :)
[12:06] <bekks> challenger: "nywys"?
[12:06] <Fudge> jnhghy  its an hp deskjet f2280
[12:06] <jnhghy> bekks: I was able to redirect websites to an Ip address but was unable to find a wildcard to replace all websites and not touch a the ones from the white list .... any ideea?
[12:07] <challenger> anyways...*
[12:07] <nabblet> hi, can anyone recommend me a free dyndns-like server? i want to access a computer behind a firewall that is NATing some ports through.
[12:07] <jnhghy> Fudge: how did you added the printer on win7? from control panel?
[12:07] <nabblet> server->service
[12:07] <bekks> jnhghy: There are no wildcards in the /etc/hosts
[12:07] <jnhghy> then how can it help me?
[12:08] <asdf321> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1519636/ I've just installed ubuntu amd64 lts, I want to run boot repair to see if it will work after I install windows, I am trying to run it... I have two encrypted volumes one for the / and other for the swap, i have a not encrypted /boot. it tried creating a /bios but it didn't work i still get the same message
[12:08] <wizrd> nabblet: dyndns
[12:09] <Fudge> jnhghy  add printer wizard, the printer is detected,
[12:09] <wizrd> nabblet: dyn.com
[12:09] <challenger> one more ques. .should i choose fixed size or dynamic ? bekks
[12:09] <Kartagis> for some reason, cairo-dock had two instancesü
[12:09] <Kartagis> s/ü//
[12:10] <bekks> challenger: I'd use dynamic, most always.
[12:10] <challenger> bekks , would it be portable?
[12:10] <Fudge> dr_willis  /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed
[12:10] <jnhghy> Fudge: try changing the driver
[12:10] <jnhghy> Fudge in win7
[12:10] <Fudge> jnhghy  I dont think its a driver issue
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> challenger  you can export your virtual machines, to make them portable
[12:11] <nabblet> wizrd: afaik dyndns isn't free any more
[12:11] <bekks> challenger: Which format do you talk about now? :)
[12:11] <wizrd> nabblet: it still is for one subdomain
[12:11] <challenger>  hmmm for dynamic , vdi
[12:11] <challenger> oops
[12:11] <challenger> sorry :P
[12:12] <dr_willis> Fudge:  last i shared a printer to a windows box. I also set up home shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf and gave the users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'
[12:12] <challenger> MonkeyDust, .. exporting ..
[12:12] <dr_willis> Fudge:  i was also sure to use teh cups web interface to be sure the printers and server where shared and allowed access from the network
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> challenger  you can export them as .ova files
[12:12] <nabblet> wizrd: something like foo.dyn.com ?
[12:12] <Fudge> dr_willis samba was giving me trouble I dont know why
[12:12] <Fudge> makes me feel like going to buy a real network printer lol
[12:12] <dr_willis> Fudge:  cups web interface   http://localhost:631
[12:13] <bekks> challenger: Are you sure you can use a vdi with vmplayer? :)
[12:13] <challenger> isn't it good idea to configure everything for making it portable before installing
[12:13] <dr_willis> Fudge:  best $100 i spent was a brother network enabled laser printer
[12:13] <challenger> bekks : :X not so sure :P
[12:13] <Fudge> nabblet ` mooo.com is very easy to get going
[12:13] <bekks> challenger: Mostly, it is a pretty bad idea, when not using a portable format....
[12:13] <tuxinator> hi all
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> challenger  yes, the configuration is stored in the xported .ova file
[12:13] <tuxinator> does ubuntu mysql-server-5.1-66 from 10.04 come with openssl support?
[12:14] <challenger> MonkeyDust,  will it work on vmlayer too ? means can i import that file to vmplayer? .ova?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> challenger  never used vmplayer, i'm no help there
[12:14] <asdf321> how do I create a mount point on gparted:?
[12:14] <challenger> bekks : now im totally confused  X:X )
[12:14] <craigbass1976> What is the best way to remote control an ubuntu box from a windows or mac that's out in the WAN?
[12:15] <dr_willis> craigbass1976:  ssh ;)
[12:15] <challenger> MonkeyDust,  :)
[12:15] <nabblet> Fudge: thx, will look at it. sad thing is that mosts dns service don't exactly specify what you get for free and where and the conditions :/
[12:15] <nabblet> Fudge: ofc it's totally understandable that they want paying custromers :D
[12:16] <challenger> pheww need to check vbox manuals RFM
[12:16] <Fudge> nabblet  ive set a few up on that site and its easy and no charge
[12:16] <Fudge> asdf321  just pull the box down and select a mount point, like /
[12:16] <asdf321> i don't see it anywhere
[12:16] <Fudge> dr_willis  when I view jobs on cups http the user heading says withheld
[12:17] <nabblet> Fudge: ok, thank you
[12:17] <Fudge> asdf321  are you installing and have received an error that you ahve not specifieed a mount point?
[12:17] <Fudge> nabblet np mate
[12:17] <dr_willis> Fudge:  the cups.org has docs and stuff.. but ive never seen that term used. ;) but ive not shared to a wqindows box in years
[12:17] <asdf321> Fudge, yes
[12:17] <asdf321> i am using crypto
[12:17] <asdf321> but i have a /boot not encrypted
[12:17] <Fudge> asdf321 go back, select your partition and where you choose format etc there is a mount poiint box, thats where you select
[12:18] <Johnnie> I had downloaded Ubuntu.iso and It did not boot. There are files with .exe. What's wrong? ISO had been burned.
[12:18] <Fudge> I have not set it up that way, but its when you edit teh partition you specify mount points asdf321 good luck
[12:18] <asdf321> there is no mount point box
[12:18] <bekks> Johnnie: Did you burn it as image, or did you burn a data cd?
[12:19] <typhlosion> hi i want to go to linuxmint-help channel how to do that
[12:19] <Johnnie> bekks: Like image
[12:19] <bekks> Johnnie: What happened exactly when trying to boot it?
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> typhlosion  #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[12:20] <craigbass1976> dr_willis, ahaha.    He'd like that about as much as me telling him to stop using windows and macs...
[12:20] <Tex_Nick> asdf321 : this is of course after the fact ... but the preferable method to setup a dual boot ( windows & ubuntu ) is to install windows first ... tis a little easier that way
[12:20] <asdf321> I couldn't
[12:20] <asdf321> because I installed it and the ubuntu installer didn't see anything but one partition only with 1TB
[12:20] <wizrd> nabblet: exactly like foo.dyn.com. You have to register for a pro trial and cancel that within 14 days. then you'll keep the subdomain.
[12:21] <asdf321> also the debian installer didn't see it either
[12:22] <asdf321> Please write on a paper the following URL:
[12:22] <asdf321> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1519667/
[12:22] <asdf321> oops
[12:22] <asdf321> that's the paste though
[12:22] <Johnnie> bekks: Menu for choosing installed systems
[12:22] <craigbass1976> dr_willis, I was thinking teamviewer, but not sure if you can just go leaving that unattended for long periods.
[12:24] <wizrd> nabblet: you could also check this one out: http://freedns.afraid.org/
[12:24] <bekks> Johnnie: Did you change the boot order to actually boot from your CD?
[12:24] <typhlosion> i didn't understand how to get that channel
[12:25] <typhlosion> you can do it manually by pressing f12 on boot
[12:25] <hdd> good day yall, how can i made a route stay after a shutdown/reboot, i put "up ip route add network/mask via ip_gw src my_ip" but does not work. im working with ubuntu 11.04 (i know is no longer support, im working on it)
[12:25] <bekks> typhlosion: You have to join the server irc.spotchat.org and then join #linuxmint-help
[12:26] <challenger> yippe B)
[12:26] <challenger> it worked
[12:26] <Slart> hdd: this looks promisigin
[12:26] <Slart> hdd: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html
[12:27] <Johnnie> bekks: Yes. Other images are istalled automatically.
[12:27] <bekks> Johnnie: Then I'd say something went wrong with burning the CD.
[12:27] <dr_willis> craigbass1976:  you will eventually want to use ssh. :)   You can even ssh in from your phone
[12:28] <hdd> Slart: didnt work either i try same site yesterday
[12:28] <Slart> hdd: oh... no errors? just didn't work?
[12:29] <SUN1985> :/list
[12:29] <killer> i can't connect to ad hoc wifi created by my friend /....though i can join others
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> challenger  for future reference: did you export to .ova and import that in vmplayer?
[12:30] <hdd> Slart: if i call either one from a console, both works, but in a reboot, from the interfaces file... not
[12:30] <Johnnie> bekks: Maybe it is so. Thank you.
[12:31] <nabblet> Fudge: i am using afraid.org (mooo.com seems to be based on it) - works fine :)
[12:32] <challenger>   MonkeyDust , not yet, still installing
[12:35] <killer> can't connect to ad hoc network ubuntu
[12:35] <challenger> ? can i ask about teamviewer?
[12:35] <killer> created by win 7
[12:35] <challenger> in ubuntu teamviewer isn't detecting my cam
[12:36] <dr_willis> challenger:  do other apps see the cam? such as 'cheese' ?
[12:36] <ichat> here is a kind of strange question... - my system  intel  sandybridge celeron  would not  halt anymore   so to fix it i tried,  to update to  kernel-ppa/mainline   linux  3.7.1-amd64  witch somehow didnt work for my intel grafix... BUT after i  do   apt-get-purge linux-image-3.7  (so reverted back to my main kernel)  the shotwon issue seams away....  how can i troubleshoot,
[12:36] <challenger> dr_willis: yup guvcview, cheese
[12:36] <nlsthzn> za
[12:37] <challenger> and how can i detect my cam inside vbox?
[12:37] <challenger> it works fine on cheese and other cam apps
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> challenger  it's probably a USB device, check the vbox USB settings
[12:38] <challenger> MonkeyDust,  it is attached to my laptop . (lenovo)
[12:38] <challenger> inbuilt cam
[12:38] <dr_willis> challenger:   You are running teamviewer in vbox?
[12:39] <ichat> challenger:  - no matter, its still a usb cam...
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> challenger  my integrated webcam is identiefied as a USB device, too
[12:39] <challenger> i tried inside  vbox outside vbox  . cam doesnt work . specially for teamviewer
[12:39] <freakynl> Hi, is there an installer for installing ubuntu server on usb and have it load to ram? (Mainly concerned syslog etc. will write so much flash blocks die on the stick)
[12:39] <challenger> and inside vbox cam doesn't work for any app
[12:40] <bekks> !usb | freakynl
[12:40] <dr_willis> freakynl:   You are worried about a 32gb usb flash drive burning out?
[12:40] <challenger> ichat, MonkeyDust : thanks for the info
[12:40] <ichat> challenger do a  sudo lsusb  find your webcam id... and than forward the device in your  vbux  usb  settings... it may require the  nonfree  extention...
[12:41] <dr_willis> freakynl:    You can do a full install onto a usb flah drive.  ive ran that way for months on end. :) never managed to  break one.
[12:41] <freakynl> 13:40 < dr_willis> freakynl:   You are worried about a 32gb usb flash drive burning out?
[12:41] <challenger> ichat , Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:b1c1 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
[12:41]  * Ajira soupir de déception
[12:41] <freakynl> dr_willis: no I'm afraid a cheap-ass 2 or 4GB USB stick will wear out after a gazillion syslog writes :P
[12:42] <ichat> challnger  so forward the device to your  vbox...
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> !fr| Ajira
[12:42] <challenger>  yeah it is listed in usb list
[12:42] <freakynl> hmm not sure how I pasted that, didn't even touch the mouse haha
[12:42] <Ajira> sorry MonkeyDust wrong channel X)
[12:42] <challenger> and works  for cheese
[12:42] <raven_> ubuntu 12.10 + vsftpd: i am trying to setup a sftp server with virtual users they access all on the same folder  but i cannot connect by any reason need please
[12:42] <freakynl> and it would be running for years (~4-5 or so) :)
[12:43] <ichat> challger you mean it works for cheese install inside the virtual machine or cheese on the host
[12:43] <challenger> ichat: how ? X) :P
[12:43] <dr_willis> Hmm.. is vsftp a 'sftp' server?  i thoght ssh could do sftp wthout any other services
[12:43] <ee12096> Francisco silva
[12:43] <challenger> cheese on the host
[12:44] <freakynl> raven_: don't you mean ftps? sftp is a whole other protocol than ftp and comes from ssh
[12:44] <ichat> challernger so  read up on how to forward usb devices to clients  on virtualbox
[12:44] <freakynl> ftps however is just regular FTP with a SSL layer, similar to http vs https
[12:44] <raven_> freakynl, i need any "secure ftp" service
[12:44] <ichat> aka just coppy paste to google...
[12:45] <dr_willis> raven_:  ssh and sftp would be the way to go i imagine. a ftp server  is rarely needed these days i find.
[12:45] <challenger> ichat : )   lemme try this one too, i'm facing this one prob from 6 months cudn't get any solution , even tried mint , fedora
[12:45] <raven_> dr_willis, yes sftp would be nice but how to setup - what do i need for that?
[12:46] <dr_willis> raven_:  install the ssh server.. and it should work i belive
[12:46] <ichat> dr_willis:  sft gets quite some overhead on large files... but than again  id use dav
[12:46] <raven_> dr_willis, i need to work with virtual users they all have access to the same subfolder and have no access to shell
[12:46] <dr_willis> I use ssh/sftp from my android pone.
[12:47] <dr_willis> raven_:  i imagine its doable. I never need to do that.
[12:47] <raven_> dr_willis, and i need any idea how
[12:47] <dr_willis> not sure why that would need 'virtual users'
[12:47] <dr_willis> sounds like normal 'groups' could do that.
[12:48] <dr_willis> theres all sorts of books and guides on ssh/sftp  most of which ive never needed to read. ;)
[12:48] <freakynl> raven_: http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/ (for debian, but ubuntu is debian based so shouldn't matter much)
[12:49] <dr_willis> Night all.. bed time for the Dr.
[12:49] <raven_> freakynl, i set up a vsftpd server already but i cannot connect to it
[12:49] <freakynl> raven_: please post output on pastebin or something: 'netstat -ntl; iptables -L -v -n'
[12:50] <raven_> freakynl, first i have to find any verbose messages..... my client only tells me about connection errors
[12:51] <freakynl> run that on the vsftpd server ^
[12:59] <gener1c> which ftpd is the most secure (empiricly)
[13:00] <gener1c> talking just about the ones in the repos
[13:01] <bekks> gener1c: It all depends on the security measures taken by the admin.

[13:03] <bytetrial> hi, hows it going
[13:06] <nlsthzn> third times a charm perhaps - o/ all I need assistance setting up dual monitors, one running of discreet gfx (Radeon) and the other screen running of onboard Intel
[13:06] <nlsthzn> the screen on the radeon card working well, the intel card not.  It only works when I go to a tty and then the Radeon goes blank
[13:07] <bytetrial> hi, hows it going
[13:07] <multimedia> Hello
[13:07] <bytetrial> hi, hows it going
[13:07] <riderplus> hi. i have no sound in tv-maxe
[13:08] <riderplus> i
[13:08] <riderplus> i'm on 13.04
[13:08] <riderplus> i have installed a bunch of codecs so far
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> riderplus  #ubuntu+1
[13:10] <nearst> hello
[13:20] <TomyLobo> dr_willis, did you reply something to "how about kdesudo su otheruser -c ..."? i had to leave on short notice and now it scrolled off the tiny tiny default log size of xchat
[13:21] <gener1c> bekks: and the quality of the code
[13:24] <Median> So I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my ASUS UX32A, but the installer/ubuntu refuses to start. It successfully loads all modules and such, but gets stuck at "Starting.." just before it was going to start Ubuntu. Any ideas?
[13:25] <TomyLobo> can "kdesudo su otheruser -c /home/otheruser/one_of_his_programs" harm me?
[13:26] <TomyLobo> can "kdesudo -- su otheruser -c /home/otheruser/one_of_his_programs" harm me?
[13:27] <dcherniv> TomyLobo, yes
[13:27] <jrib> TomyLobo: why don't you use sudo -u instead of using su like that?
[13:30] <TomyLobo> jrib, that definitely gives the program access to my files
[13:30] <jrib> TomyLobo: what do you mean?
[13:30] <TomyLobo> at least that's what dr_willis indicated earlier
[13:31] <TomyLobo> basically the program is some proprietary shit i dont trust and i set up a user for it
[13:31] <jrib> TomyLobo: it runs the command as the user you specify
[13:32] <TomyLobo> so it has a nice box to act in while the rest of my system, including my home folder, is safe from it
[13:32] <jrib> TomyLobo: the difference between doing « sudo -u user command » and « su -c command user » is that in the first case you use the fact you have sudo powers to run as the other user and in the second case you actually need to be able to login as user
[13:33] <TomyLobo> jrib, su does not ask for a password if run as root :)
[13:33] <jrib> TomyLobo: correct
[13:33] <TomyLobo> hence the kdesudo before it
[13:34] <jrib> TomyLobo: what program is this anyway?
[13:35] <vtghii> hi does zeitgeist send information to canonincal?
[13:35] <OerHeks> vtghii, no
[13:36] <Eagleman> Is it possible to show the dns cache and look who requested it by IP?
[13:37] <jpds> Eagleman: No.
[13:37] <jpds> Eagleman: Only way would be to log every request.
[13:42] <TomyLobo> jrib, doesnt matter
[13:43] <jrib> TomyLobo: ok... just trying to give you better advice...
[13:43] <TomyLobo> i dont trust it but a bunch of people do, so i'm stuck with having to install it
[13:43]  * jrib guesses skype
[13:44] <iLogical> http://paste2.org/p/2730912 I am using encryption, I tried to use boot repair to see if it would reinstall grub correctly so that I could use it after windows. I couldn't install windows first because when I do even when leaving empty space in no partition the ubuntu installer only sees one 1 TB partition.
[13:44] <iLogical> I t's not booting anymore
[13:44] <iLogical> it gets into a loop of reseting
[13:44] <Eagleman> jpds, i should be able to tcpdump on the dns server to see which dns requests are made in realtime right?
[13:45] <Eagleman> something like:  tcpdump -i eth0 host <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:47] <jpds> Eagleman: Yep.
[13:47] <Eagleman> tcpdump -vvv -s 0 -l port 53    how do i filter for an specific ip address?

[13:58] <challenger> hlwwwwww
[13:58] <jaesii> challenger: did you download the linux-headers?
[13:58] <challenger> ? :(
[13:58] <challenger> linux-headers? for what?
[13:59] <jaesii> that error also says that extension pack is for version 4.1 and you have 4.2
[13:59] <challenger> ohh
[13:59] <jaesii> sudo apt-get install linux-headers
[13:59] <jaesii> you need them for the extension pack
[13:59] <challenger> jaesii : thank you :) . lemme try this
[13:59] <ajfd> morning!
[14:00] <ajfd> well, why maverick repo does'nt exist?
[14:00] <jpds> ajfd: Because Maverick is dead.
[14:00] <challenger> jaesii,  now i've list of headers
[14:00] <zoie> hi i'm getting "WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/user/.cache/keyring-GT4vfX/pkcs11: No such file or directory" everytime i use svn; how can i fix that?
[14:00] <moteprime> Hey there, Question: There are/was a Linux game, thats a clone of the old X-Com Ufo enemy unknown. I can't find or remember what it's called?
[14:00] <challenger> which one to select now?
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> ajfd  because it's ieol
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> !eol*
[14:01] <ajfd> jpds: no update, no everything! :/
[14:01] <jpds> !eol | ajfd
[14:01] <jpds> ajfd: Upgrade.
[14:01] <ajfd> :S
[14:01] <jaesii> challenger what do you mean which to select
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> ajfd  fastest way would be to fresh install, but backup first
[14:02] <challenger> means .. cmdline is says that " you should explicitly select one to install"
[14:02] <challenger> cmdline says*
[14:02] <challenger> ( sorry english * )  :P
[14:03] <ajfd> I don't like unity:S
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> ajfd  you're free to not use it
[14:03] <ajfd> natty is old and repo still work :S
[14:03] <auronandace> ajfd: there are other desktop environments: kde, xfce, lxde
[14:03] <jaesii> challenger im not the best with virtualbox but you can join the #vbox channel they might be of help
[14:03] <challenger> u can choose other de , like gnome from login screen ajfd
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> ajfd  install something else, logout, select something, login
[14:04] <jaesii> oh
[14:04] <jaesii> i believe unity uses lightdm
[14:04] <challenger> jaesii,  thanks for giving me your precious time , :)

[14:11] <sekou> like that
[14:11] <zandra> huh
[14:11] <jil> salut
[14:11] <t2mkn> Ubuntu with Unity or Gnome shell, which is better :-?
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> t2mkn  depends on what you prefer
[14:12] <sekou> jil, please join #ubuntu-fr for french.
[14:12] <{-Dark-}> sigh :(
[14:12] <jil> oups
[14:12] <k1l_> t2mkn: best is to choose yourself
[14:12] <jil> thx.
[14:14] <jil> I have a fresh ubuntu install 12.10  but I get a I/O error dev fd0 sector0 when I look on my ttys
[14:14] <Tex_Nick> !fr | jil
[14:14] <jil> I understand OK.. I can speak english allright?
[14:15] <sekou> cool jil, cool
[14:15] <t2mkn> i like Unity style, and I m liking the Workspace thing on Gnome shell :) On shell when one is at Activities panel all things come in front. But in unity I cant see what I have on other workspaces. Is their any way I can have that in Unity?
[14:15] <jil> sekou  I'm cool
[14:16] <zoie> i'm getting "p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" everytime i use svn; is there a way to fix that?
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> t2mkn  it's like that by default in Unity, the indicator for apps on other workspaces is a little different
[14:16] <sekou> ok what's the matter again?
[14:16] <jil> How come when I install the latest ubuntu It display a floppy drive.  I don't have one, so how do I remove it ?
[14:17] <jil> Because when I switch on tty display I have a repeated I/O error on dev fd0 sector0
[14:17] <jrib> TomyLobo: I almost forgot, you may want to consider creating an apparmor profile for it and using that
[14:17] <t2mkn> humm, any plans in Unity for that cool thing to bring in?
[14:18] <jil> I have commented the line loading the fd0 in fstab, but I still get the error.
[14:18] <jhutchins_wk> jil: You could probably blacklist the floppy module, although I don't know if that's an official solution.
[14:19] <jil> what do you mean "blacklist" the floppy module?
[14:19] <digitalfiz> hey guys for some reason when windows are maximized in unity the window buttons are on the left like I like them but when not maximized they are on the right. How can I fix this?
[14:19] <jhutchins_wk> jil: create a file in /etc/modules.d that prevents the floppy kernel module from loading.
[14:20] <iLogical> if anyone could help with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12449987#post12449987 it would be great
[14:20] <digitalfiz> nm I found it :D gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'close,maximize,minimize:'
[14:20] <jil> That doesn't sound bad jhutchins_wk
[14:20] <ramirez_> hello
[14:21] <jil> I will look into it. Thank you
[14:21] <jhutchins_wk> iLogical: Please provide a summary instead of just a pastebin.
[14:21] <jhutchins_wk> jil: I'd like to see what others think.
[14:22] <jil> hum, yes me too because I don't have a /etc/modules.d
[14:22] <iLogical> what kind of summary?
[14:22] <TomyLobo> jrib, i'll take a look at that, thanks
[14:23] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Well, you can create one, and you can blacklist within /etc/modules
[14:23] <jil> Ok, but I was hoping to see a readme file on how to blacklist.
[14:24] <jil> I guess I have to use modprobe
[14:25] <iLogical> jhutchins_wk, ?
[14:26] <RiotGS> hello

[14:27] <MonkeyDust> RiotGS  it's a system that makes you work with your computer

[14:27] <zoie> RiotGS: http://goo.gl/cwKxG
[14:27] <jhutchins_wk> iLogical: The question is, why did his system start expecting a floppy?
[14:27] <RiotGS> cyeah cheers
[14:28] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Let me dig a little...
[14:28] <iLogical> jhutchins_wk, I don't know it was expecting one
[14:28] <iLogical> didn't*
[14:28] <arcimboldo> hi all, how can I translate the image id in glance to the  ec2_id used by boto?
[14:29] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Ok, it's /etc/modprobe.d/*
[14:29] <jil> jhutchins_wk I'm digging too... I found three line pointing to the floppy in modprobe configuration
[14:30] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Probably comment those out, or add "blacklist floppy" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[14:30] <jil> but I'm not getting the syntax yet
[14:37] <jil> for example$ alias acpi*:PNP0700:*  floppy        any idea how to read this?
[14:38] <jil> well after modprobe -c | grep floppy ; I get for example $ acpi*: PNP0700:* floppy ;  Any idea how to read this?  I want to find the alias of the floppy module to blacklist it.
[14:39] <tux-world>  i have in Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad keyboard problem. how to use keyboard or mouse usb for hp TP? i cant using hub usb.can any body for help me?
[14:40] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Just comment it out - insert "# " before that line.
[14:40] <jil> Ok I think I have the floppy module name; modeprobe -l | grep floppy; ...floppy.ko
[14:41] <jil> jhutchins_wk, I would like to but it's not coming from a file.   and I looked for a line with floppy in the modprobe.d/  without success.  But now that I have the module name I think it will be ok.  thx
[14:43] <jhutchins_wk> jil: Known issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1054414
[14:46] <Squarism> I would like a "plugin" to terminal that depending on which ssh host i connect to, sets the terminal colors. Is there such?
[14:46] <jil> I though bug happened only to other.  :)
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> Squarism  a script maybe, better ask in #bash
[14:47] <jhutchins_wk> jil: That bugreport is a mess, diverting several times into a non-issue with VMWare, but comment 43 has three lines of code that fix the problem.
[14:48] <jil> man, your good. I was wondering why people were trying to save dmesg  in temp file
[14:49] <jhutchins_wk> jil: The bug status implies that it's fixed, but the person who reported the fix gave no details.
[14:52] <iLogical> any thoughts on that? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12449987#post12449987

[15:30] <theadmin> digitalfiz: That's not a bug. You need to enable the tray icon in settings.
