[11:53] <ActionParsnip> trueif: is it a lapto pwith a hybrid / switchable GPU?
[11:53] <trueif> yes
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> trueif: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> trueif: you will need to look into bumblebee to manage that mess
[11:53] <trueif> external monitor did not work and i make the mistake to download the driver from website
[11:54] <trueif> yeah but i first i must go to the terminal
[11:54] <trueif> can you tell me the command that removes all the nvidia related?
[11:54] <trueif> it's purge something..
[11:54] <trueif> i can't remember
[11:56] <MickS> apt-get purge <packagename>
[11:56] <trueif> so, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* ?
[11:56] <trueif> i want to remove all nvidia related
[11:56] <MickS> should do the trick
[11:57] <trueif> it's true that 32 bit offers better battery compared to 64 bit?
[11:58] <reisio> trueif: not that I'm aware of
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> trueif: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common | awk {'print $2'}`
[11:59] <trueif> that's a lot stuff :D
[12:01] <trueif> anyways thanks to all i tried and then i'll come back here
[12:01] <trueif> for the progress
[12:13] <TakumoKatekari> So yeah, anyone know why gvim doesn't work  after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 , killing the process doesn't kill the dead window.
[12:13] <TakumoKatekari> I just get the error (gvim:31666): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap" in my terminal
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> TakumoKatekari  ctrl-f2 xkill
[12:14] <TakumoKatekari> Still, I kind of need gvim for my work
[12:14] <zetheroo>  cannot ping hostnames on the network ... only IP addresses ...
[12:14] <zetheroo> I already added a line in /etc/network/interfaces like this "dns-search mt.local" and restarted the networking service ... but still no joy
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> zetheroo  that means it's a dns issue
[12:16] <TakumoKatekari> Maybe I should uninstall and recompile gvim from source?
[12:17] <MonkeyDust> TakumoKatekari  gvim-gnome is in the repos
[12:18] <TakumoKatekari> MonkeyDust: It's too out-of-date for my needs
[12:18] <TakumoKatekari> Also vim-gtk > vim-gnome
[12:18] <dustin> Just installed 13.04, new user here. I can't boot to the OS, unless I use "nomodeset" within the grub menu. How can I avoid this? I find using it, is causing very laggy graphic performance. I do have an nvidia card, with optimus technology. I have already installed updates / drivers for the OS, including the intel graphics driver and nvidia / bumblebee.
[12:19] <zetheroo> MonkeyDust: I also have a line in /etc/network/interfaces for dns-nameservers ...
[12:19] <bgardner> zetheroo: Show us your /etc/resolv.conf
[12:21] <zetheroo>  bgardner: there is nothing in there ... it just says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN"
[12:23] <bgardner> zetheroo: Using paste.ubuntu.com, show us the output of 'nm-tool'
[12:24] <nyx_> Hi, I am desperate. I am on Ubuntu 12.04. I was using fglrx 12.9. I have installed the security updates, rebooted and now X doesn't want to load. I have uninstalled fglrx, installed radeon. No changement. When I try to start X from the terminal "startx" I get  "failed to load session ubuntu"
[12:25] <TakumoKatekari> MonkeyDust: gvim-gnome doesn't work either.
[12:25] <TakumoKatekari> Maybe I should just switch to Arch ;)
[12:25] <zetheroo> bgardner: nm-tool is not installed ...
[12:25] <reisio> TakumoKatekari: maybe
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> TakumoKatekari  or learn vim without GUI :)
[12:25] <bgardner> zetheroo: What's in /etc/issue
[12:25] <zetheroo> bgardner: this is a server ... so no network manager
[12:25] <TakumoKatekari> MonkeyDust: I have the gui disabled, I just don
[12:25] <TakumoKatekari> I can't use a 256-color terminal because my backspace doesn't work
[12:26] <zetheroo> bgardner: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l
[12:26] <k1lled> i have ati radeon 4530HD on my laptop video card and 13.04 ubuntu. How to install driver... this video is old .... :(
[12:26] <k1lled> fglrx or what?
[12:27] <bgardner> zetheroo: Okay, then paste.ubuntu.com your /etc/network/interfaces
[12:28] <ska> Is there a way to cut and paste between ubuntu and tightvncviewers?
[12:29] <zetheroo> bgardner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783506/
[12:29] <compdoc> ska, some vnc packages use vncconfig to enable the clipboard
[12:35] <bgardner> zetheroo: Try 'sudo resolvconf -u' and then examine /etc/resolv.conf and let us know if it has content.
[12:36] <nbubuntu> anyone here having problem loading youtube via flash support ?
[12:36] <zetheroo> bgardner: resolv.conf now looks like this:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783520/
[12:37] <bgardner> zetheroo: Okay, try your pings now
[12:38] <zetheroo> bgardner: still not working .. those dns entries in resolv.conf are not the right ones
[12:39] <zetheroo> bgardner: those are for the DMZ network configuration ..
[12:39] <ubuntivity> Hello
[12:40] <nbubuntu> Flash version 11.1 .Problem was fine last year but recent month, youtube load h alf way and stop , I need to wait for another 20 sec for it to start.even on the lowest 240p.
[12:40] <ubuntivity> I'm running ubuntu server 12.04, and I want to play a beep on a specific occasions within a script, how can I play a beep with predetermined duration and frequency?
[12:40] <zetheroo> bgardner: I need resolv.conf to carry the other dns entries .. but it seems to be ignoring them ...
[12:41] <nbubuntu> Using window xp works well smooth loading.
[12:41] <bgardner> zetheroo: I get what you're asking, but I don't know off the top of my head if resolvconf does what you want.  I'm reading the man page now: 'man resolvconf'.
[12:41] <gordonjcp> ubuntivity: didn't you ask that earlier?
[12:42] <gordonjcp> ubuntivity: did you investigate play or beep, like I said?
[12:42] <ubuntivity> yes, but got no answe and got disconnected from net
[12:42] <gordonjcp> ubuntivity: oh
[12:42] <gordonjcp> ubuntivity: well, like I said, investigate beep, or play
[12:43] <qwebirc61739> anyone??
[12:43] <gordonjcp> !anyone | qwebirc61739
[12:43] <qwebirc61739> who are you
[12:44] <ubuntivity> I installed beep, it doesn't make any sound at all!
[12:44] <qwebirc61739> where can i get min install instructions
[12:45] <ubuntivity> I vaguely remember that I've read once that something is disabled in Ubuntu 12.04 that cause pc speaker/buzzer to stay silent, is that true? or a confabulation of my mind??
[12:45] <bgardner> zetheroo: Show us the contents of /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
[12:45] <qwebirc61739> ok thanks
[12:46] <qwebirc61739> ubottu: thanks
[12:46] <ubuntivity> qwebirc61739: are you trying to install ubuntu?
[12:46] <zetheroo> bgardner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783546/
[12:48] <bgardner> zetheroo: You can add your br0 and br1 interfaces to that file to control their processing order for resolvconf.  Put them below the line reading "eth*" with br0 first, then br1 after, one per line.
[12:48] <bgardner> zetheroo: Then run 'sudo resolvconf -u' again and check your /etc/resolv.conf afterward.
[12:51] <cosmen> hello
[12:51] <reisio> hi
[12:51] <zetheroo> bgardner: well nothing changed in the resolv.conf file ...
[12:51] <ubuntivity> I've got beep working! I've commented the "blacklist pcspkr" line in /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then runned sudo modprobe pcspkr :)
[12:51] <ubuntivity> Welcome cosmen, reisio ^__^
[12:51] <cosmen> reisio,  what is a diference for Deterministic Read After Trim  and Read Zero after Trim
[12:52] <reisio> welcome ubuntivity :D
[12:52] <cosmen> :)
[12:52] <cosmen> is a problem with controller ?
[12:52] <reisio> cosmen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM#Hardware_support
[12:52] <cosmen> ok
[12:53] <leo-the-manic> Hi all, I realized there are some services on my machine that start at boot but I don't need: tomcat, apache2, mysql, sshd. I see for apache there's an init script in /etc/init.d but can I disable it without deleting the script?
[12:53] <leo-the-manic> In case I want to re-enable it in the future
[12:55] <zetheroo> bgardner: now my interface-order file looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783572/
[12:57] <bgardner> zetheroo: You might get away with having * on the end of those lines, you might not.  Try the 'sudo resolvconf -u' command and see.
[12:57] <zetheroo> bgardner: I tried with and without the *
[12:57] <ubuntivity> one more question: After I removed pcspkr blacklisting, I'm getting a buzzer beep every time I use "tab" to complete the command I'm writing! How can I disable that without stopping beep from working?
[12:58] <SuperLag> TakumoKatekari: have fun with that Arch headache.
[12:58] <bgardner> leo-the-manic: 'sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/filename' to disable, 'sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/filename' to re-enable.
[13:00] <bgardner> zetheroo: And did those changes have any effect on the content of /etc/resolv.conf after running 'sudo resolvconf -u'?
[13:01] <zetheroo> bgardner: none whatsoever
[13:01] <phillustine> aloha?
[13:02] <phillustine> i know i'm in the wrong place, but does anyone know of a python irc channel?
[13:02] <Pici> phillustine: #python
[13:02] <reisio> phillustine: #ohnoitsasnake
[13:02] <SuperLag> :D
[13:02] <bgardner> zetheroo: Have you tried commenting out the second 'dns-nameservers' line in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[13:02] <phillustine> pici: nice. are they also on freenode?
[13:03] <SuperLag> reisio: smart *** :D
[13:03] <reisio> phillustine: check and see
[13:03] <reisio> phillustine: additionally: /msg alis list *foo*
[13:03] <Pici> phillustine: yes.  You'll need to be identified to join though.
[13:03] <Pici> !register  > phillustine
[13:04] <phillustine> pici: aha. now i see
[13:04] <ubuntivity> what does the file ~/.inputrc exactly control? and if I don't already have it, will making one work?
[13:04] <phillustine> pici: sorry. say the pm first
[13:06] <testtoor> ActionParsnip, hey i did what you guys told but with no luck,iam in live usb now and i have access to the folders can this help?
[13:08] <ubuntivity> It worked, I placed "set bell-style none" in ~/.inputrc and I get no more beeps with tab :) [mentioning the solution just for the record!]
[13:10] <testtoor> i have a Problem.i wanted to connect my laptop with an external monitor but it does not work.so i installed nvidia driver from ppa(can't remember what version)this does not fixed the problem.so without remove the previous driver i installed the latest driver from the nvidia website.i had problems with resolution(640x480) and after that i edited the /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log when i boot it shows the logo and then a blank screen and i can't do not
[13:10] <testtoor> hing.iam using ubuntu 12.04.2 64 bit
[13:11] <ZenoArrow> Hi. Trying to boot Lubuntu into command line (no X). Have held down shift to get to GRUB. Where do I go from here?
[13:12] <BluesKaj> testtoor, can you boot into a tty , ctrl+alt+F1 to F6
[13:13] <testtoor> when i'll do that?
[13:13] <testtoor> i did that when i see the blank screen
[13:13] <testtoor> nothing
[13:13] <BluesKaj> at the balnk scrn
[13:13] <testtoor> no luckl
[13:13] <testtoor> luck*
[13:13] <testtoor> can the live cd help me?
[13:14] <testtoor> i want to unistall all nvidia related things
[13:15] <Kuroshita> hey guys, just looking for a simple way to get scripts to start on startup in ubuntu server
[13:15] <acerimmer> testtoor, sounds like ubuntu is thoroughly confused with the display drivers.  My suggestion is to do  PPA purge and see if you can then reconfigure .  Try booting to the command line so you can get control.
[13:15] <testtoor> why can i do that
[13:15] <testtoor> how*
[13:16] <testtoor> recovery mode does not work in graphical mode
[13:16] <BluesKaj> testtoor, purging nvidia is probly a good thing to do since you have conflicting drivers installed
[13:17] <acerimmer> testtoor, which is why I suggested command line
[13:17] <testtoor> yeah,but how can i go to the command line
[13:17] <BluesKaj> he can't get to a tty
[13:17] <acerimmer> BluesKaj, can you advise him on this.  over my head
[13:18] <BluesKaj> acerimmer, you're correct but he needs to reinstall ...it's the best course of action
[13:18] <testtoor> no!!!!
[13:18] <testtoor> i hate reinstall
[13:19] <testtoor> it must be a way other than that
[13:19] <BluesKaj> testtoor, as much as you hate a blank screen that doesn't respond
[13:19] <testtoor> i can change that i can paint it bluie
[13:19] <testtoor> blue*
[13:19] <testtoor> :D
[13:20] <acerimmer> testtoor, be a man/woman and take your medicine.  None of LIKES to reinstall but sometimes it's the only way ...
[13:20] <testtoor> you like blue eh? :D
[13:20] <BluesKaj> have you tried holding the shift key down after the bios screen , testtoor , to bring upo grub ?
[13:20] <testtoor> i can go to grub but what can i do from there
[13:20] <BluesKaj> !nomodeset | testtoor
[13:22] <testtoor> yeah,i don't understand a thing
[13:22] <testtoor> BluesKaj, maybe a little
[13:23] <BluesKaj> testtoor, then you can remove the nvidia drivers that don';t work for you , and checj the recommended ones in additional drivers.
[13:23] <testtoor> BluesKaj, yeah the thing is that i did not have any drivers in addition drivers
[13:24] <testtoor> Never
[13:24] <BluesKaj> testtoor, then use nvidia-current driver , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  , once you get to a tty or terminal
[13:25] <testtoor> BluesKaj, yeah the thing is i can't go to tty or terminal
[13:25] <BluesKaj> if you use the nomodeset setting in grub , you might , testtoor..maybe even your desktop
[13:27] <bmxscott1993> i got a problem it when i boot up my computer the ubuntu logo not there just purple screen with like now how old tv have that static snow screen i get a line in the middle of the screen where the ubuntu logo meant to be
[13:27] <testtoor> BluesKaj, i'll go with me good luck
[13:27] <testtoor> thanks
[13:27] <BluesKaj> read the tutorial about nomodeset , a few times , you'll figure it out
[13:27] <mjayk> bmxscott1993: can you go to tty1?
[13:27] <acerimmer> bmxscott1993, new install?
[13:28] <testtoor> BluesKaj, i got it
[13:28] <bmxscott1993> but it login screen clean with not static but only on boot up and log off
[13:30] <bmxscott1993> yes newer install and what do you mean tty1
[13:32] <acerimmer> bmxscott1993, boot to recovery mode and use the command line = tty  /// I suggest you reboot and try booting and older version of ubuntu at the grub menu.  Maybe a kernel upgrade scrambled things up
[13:33] <bmxscott1993> but just reinstalled the ubuntu using my own dvd and got the iso off the website
[13:33] <bmxscott1993> ok
[13:34] <bmxscott1993> il try it but do not have the old ubuntu got the 12.04 lts
[13:34] <acerimmer> bmxscott1993, every kernel upgrade means the "older" kernel
[13:34] <bmxscott1993> ow ok
[13:34] <acerimmer> bmxscott1993, it's still 12.04 but with earlier kernels.
[13:35] <bmxscott1993> did not no thank
[13:35] <acerimmer> bmxscott1993, no worries, mate.
[13:35] <kraM> Hi there. I need to install linux-generic-lts-raring in a 12.04. Reboot. Need to mount an iso. mount -o loop /path/to/.iso /mnt -> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[13:35] <kraM> Does anybody know something about that?
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> kraM  try a chroot
[13:36] <kraM> What would that chroot be for?
[13:36] <kraM> chroot /mnt /bin/bash failes with no /bin/bash. which bash -> /bin/bash.
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> kraM  depends on what you want to do
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> ok, or try furius, a GUI to mount iso's
[13:37] <jluc> Hello all,
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> kraM: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:37] <jluc> How can i switch off the CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG keyboard option that now brings a window close to the screen border ?
[13:37] <jluc> I want to use this shortcut for Gimp.
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> jluc: disable the grid plugin in compiz
[13:38] <jluc> thanks ActionParsnip i will look for that
[13:38] <kraM> Complete story: I need to build things using docker. docker requires at least uname -r >= 3.8. That needs to run in with Vagrant, and to support mount and port forwards I need to install VBoxGuestAdditions for the raring kernel. -- This is a iso file which I cannot mount after rebooting into the raring kernel (3.8.0-25).
[13:38] <bgardner> kraM: 'sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 isoimage /mnt/wherever'
[13:39] <kraM> bgardner: Wrong filesystem. Same file mounts fine within Arch.
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> kraM: try a GUI app, just for laughs
[13:40] <bgardner> kraM: I'm with ActionParsnip - did you MD5 test the ISO yet?
[13:40] <kraM> bgardner: No, one second.
[13:43] <kraM> Hm.  Thanks guys.
[13:43] <erik__> Hi. Is it possible to load grub instead of refit on a macbook pro?
[13:44] <acerimmer> erik__, yes, but refit is probably better if your dual booting.
[13:44] <erik__> acerimmer, i can reach refit via alt
[13:46] <bmxscott1993> get the recovery screen up do any one no how to get the options up in the login screen logo thing
[13:46] <erik__> Today, I tried to setup arch linux and during installation i had to setup grub-efi on the efi partition of the system. From then on the system started into the grub installation of arch (ubuntu and macos were already installed).
[13:47] <bmxscott1993> where you can click the little ubuntu logo to change to recovery
[13:47] <bmxscott1993> then login like that
[13:47] <erik__> But I could not reproduce this setup with ubuntus grub installation :(
[13:47] <KeyboardNotFound> How to check which DNS I use ?
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> KeyboardNotFound: nslookup   or cat /etc/resolv.conf
[13:49] <somsip> KeyboardNotFound: dig google.com and see what server responds
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> KeyboardNotFound: nm-tool | tail -n 8
[13:51] <KeyboardNotFound> somsip, ActionParsnip, Thanks you very much
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> well.....you have to know these things when you are king
[13:55] <zeryuio> is it possible to convert apt to wget ?
[13:57] <andreas> hi there
[13:57] <zeryuio> is it possible to convert apt to wget ?
[13:57] <somsip> zeryuio: you could wget a deb and install it, but otherwise your question doesn't really make sense
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> zeryuio  or create an alias
[13:58] <zeryuio> alias for what ? MonkeyDust
[13:58] <zeryuio> ok let me introduce my issue
[13:59] <zeryuio> i try to download something apt but not working but using wget it's working
[13:59] <andreas> i've installed active mq on an ubuntu machine using apt-get. Now i face the problem that i can not start it. I've already opened a stack overflow ticket at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17189053/how-to-start-activemq-on-an-ec2-ubuntu-machine . Has someone faced that problem before or a similiar one ?
[13:59] <k1l_> zeryuio: please pastbinit the problem
[13:59] <zeryuio> so what port is used by apt and port used by wget ?
[13:59] <k1l_> !paste | zeryuio
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> zeryuio  use apt to install from the repos, use wget to download from the internet
[13:59] <zeryuio> i said my proxy server blocking
[14:00] <zeryuio> apt install but allow wget
[14:00] <zeryuio> so my question
[14:00] <zeryuio> is may be how to change port of apt to give same as wget
[14:00] <zeryuio> to able to work with apt as usual
[14:00] <bgardner> zeryuio: You're getting ahead of yourself.  Show us the error that apt gives you.
[14:01] <zeryuio> there is no error
[14:01] <zeryuio> it just only say 0%
[14:01] <zeryuio> progess
[14:01] <zeryuio> each time try to install  something
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: what is the output of:  df -h
[14:03] <zeryuio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783747/
[14:03] <zeryuio> df -h
[14:03] <bgardner> zeryuio: Then it sounds like you need to let apt-get know about your proxy.  See: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html
[14:04] <zeryuio> i got uubuntu server edition
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: do you have web acces? do you use a proxy?
[14:04] <bgardner> zeryuio: Scroll down to the section that says "Terminal Proxy"
[14:05] <zeryuio> simply tell me
[14:05] <zeryuio> how i can able to download using wget and don't using apt ?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: do you use a proxy for web access?
[14:07] <queen_lee> halo
[14:07] <zeryuio> yes
[14:07] <bgardner> zeryuio: To make apt-get use your proxy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783756/
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: then you need to specify it in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: so that apt-get knows to use the proxy
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783777

[14:18] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: yes, make it
[14:19] <dsathe> hey folks, there seems to be a load of change in the compiling mechanism for ubuntu kernels
[14:19] <zeryuio> if make it, it is not working
[14:19] <zeryuio> i just tested
[14:19] <dsathe> what is the right way
[14:19] <fungus304> anyways dr appointment for wife ill check back later
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> zeryuio: did you change it to your configs....
[14:19] <dsathe> i have got sources from the src package via apt
[14:19] <auronandace> !kernel | dsathe
[14:21] <zeryuio> yes of course
[14:21] <zeryuio> ActionParsnip:
[14:24] <sandeepr> anyone around who has used preseed to install ubuntu
[14:24] <back_> hello all is there somebody who have problem with power/reboot computer with 13.04 - My computer freeze if i click on Restart/Shutdown in gnome panel,
[14:25] <sandeepr> i'm using the preseed sample for the 12.04 from ubuntu site
[14:25] <sandeepr> and it fails at apt stage complainging bad archive
[14:26] <randomname> what do you guys recommend 12.04 or 13.04?
[14:27] <MonkeyDust> randomname  12.04 if you want long support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff
[14:27] <mJayk> randomname: 13.04
[14:27] <sandeepr> the syslog says duplicate sources.list and 12.04.2 mirror does not support the specified release
[14:28] <randomname> what do you guys say about the battery life of 13.04 compared to 12.04?
[14:28] <mJayk> randomname: 13.04 gives me about 15% longer life than 12.04 did Toshiba satellite
[14:29] <k1l_> randomname: depends on your hardware and usecase. that is not comparable at all
[14:29] <StarOnD> how do I install kosmo gis ? I have already done sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
[14:29] <stef1a> Using 13.04 and Chromium-Browser and IcedTea flash plugin. When I try to watch YouTube videos, I just get black boxes, no audio. YT works fine in Firefox. Help
[14:30] <stef1a> YT was working with Chromium Browser up until two days ago
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> stef1a  i have that too, try disabling html5, it's already reported in launchpad
[14:31] <stef1a> MonkeyDust: how do you disable html5?
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> youtube.com/html
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> youtube.com/html5
[14:31] <dsathe> auronandace: What i want to do is modify some config options
[14:32] <dsathe> what do i modify
[14:32] <dsathe> the usual way i just did make config
[14:32] <modernbob> stef1a: just use the normal chrome browser.. works fine
[14:32] <dsathe> or make xconfig
[14:32] <dsathe> this entire ubuntu way is confusing me
[14:32] <stef1a> MonkeyDust: doesn't work
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: its just different
[14:33] <modernbob> stef1a: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> stef1a  restart the browser, maybe that helps
[14:33] <dsathe> i guess
[14:33] <dsathe> one method is i dculd use the old fashioned way
[14:33] <dsathe> but it would be nice to do it right
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: isnt icedtea for java?
[14:33] <dsathe> any definitive guide
[14:33] <dsathe> ActionParsnip: ?
[14:33] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: idr
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: can you please pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[14:35] <BAMbanda> I have the worst networking experience with Ubuntu
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: http://pastie.org
[14:35] <BAMbanda> I am jealous of those who can use it with peace
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: realtek cheapy gigabit ethernet, works out of the box
[14:35] <BAMbanda> I love linux, but I am furious over the past couple months with the new ubuntus
[14:36] <dsathe> BAMbanda:
[14:36] <dsathe> whats the issue
[14:36] <BAMbanda> i'm trying to use my asus wireless nic
[14:36] <BAMbanda> it works fine with windows
[14:36] <dsathe> can you pastebin your lspci -vv
[14:36] <dsathe> ill have a look
[14:36] <dsathe> BAMbanda: blam asus
[14:36] <BAMbanda> But with linux, it keeps disconnecting on its own and when I try to do /etc/init.d/networking restart my unity crashes
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: what wifi chip does it use?
[14:36] <BAMbanda> dsathe: gimme a sec, Ill paste it for u
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: try disabling ipv6
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: also try disabling N speed on the wifi driver module
[14:37] <dsathe> BAMbanda: blame ASUS not ubuntu
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: I bet disabling n speed si good :)
[14:37] <dsathe> probbaly
[14:37] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/JW9dC8p5
[14:38] <dsathe> i find ubuntu as one of the best os ever for networking
[14:38] <decci> I have Ubuntu 12.04 machine under which I installed pt-get install postfix. I dint see any main.cf file
[14:38] <dsathe> you will not believe the crazy shit you can do on it
[14:38] <BAMbanda> dsathe: I'm a strong believer in its potential
[14:38] <BAMbanda> thats why I want to cry when i see these garbage issues
[14:38] <BAMbanda> http://pastebin.com/qmsH6S0J
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> decci: try:  sudo updatedb; locate main.cf
[14:39] <zacktu> Is there a way to get CUPS to list all the printer drivers that it supports on my system?
[14:39] <dsathe> some insanly complex network stuff , ubuntu just works
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: thats not ALL the output, please pastebin all the text
[14:39] <dsathe> BAMbanda: umm what have you pasted
[14:39] <dsathe> sorry
[14:39] <dsathe> clicked wrong link
[14:40] <BAMbanda> dsathe: lspci -vv
[14:40] <dsathe> yeah yeah ok gimme 5 mni
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: try the ipv6 disable and disable N speed on the kernel module
[14:40] <BAMbanda> can you send me the cli commands for that?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> this can help with RTL8188CE chips
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: add the boot option:  ipv6.disable=1
[14:41] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: how do i pipe all of the output to a file
[14:41] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip: am I editing /etc/networking/interfaces ?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: gksudo gedit /etc/dfault/grub     will get you the write access you need
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: no, you set the boot option in /etc/default/grub
[14:41] <dsathe> Ok BAMbanda i see it has a kernel module , what is the exact issue
[14:41] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/mnbRb8fz
[14:42] <stef1a> whoever suggested just using google-chrome: thanks, it works.
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: lsb_release -a | tee ~/output; uname -a | tee -a ~/output; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | tee -a ~/output
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: chrome kicks ass
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: I'd just use chrome
[14:43] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: i'll prob just do that
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> problem is: i don't like google
[14:43] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: the command keeps fucking flowing onto the next line
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the driver=   bit for the wifi device?
[14:43] <stef1a> life is so hard ;_;
[14:43] <dsathe> BAMbanda: ??
[14:44] <zacktu> join #cups

[14:44] <bgardner> !language | stef1a
[14:44] <dsathe> that is the active module
[14:45] <BAMbanda> dsathe: Sometimes when I connect to the internet it works fine, but all of a sudden it will disconnect from the network and give me problems until I restart the comptuer which then it works fine
[14:45] <BAMbanda> I have wlan0 on a static ip
[14:45] <BAMbanda> same subnet as my default gw, so it should work fine
[14:45] <BAMbanda> but when it acts funny, I can't even ping my gw!
[14:46] <dsathe> hmm that is odd
[14:46] <dsathe> lets see
[14:46] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: how do i copy your command without the line breaks?
[14:46] <dsathe> what kernel u on /
[14:46] <stef1a> when i paste them into the terminal three commands get executed instead of one
[14:46] <bazhang> he's gone dsathe
[14:46] <dsathe> lol ok
[14:47] <BAMbanda> dsathe: It just disconnected me!
[14:47] <BAMbanda> i had to restart to come back on
[14:47] <dsathe> figured
[14:47] <dsathe> next time run sudo service networking restart
[14:48] <StarOnD> http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/UbuntuGISRepository  I have followed these steps. is kosmo gis included in this ? how dO I install it?
[14:48] <BAMbanda> dsathe: I did that, and it crashes my unity....
[14:48] <dsathe> you dont need to restart the computer for that sort of stuff
[14:48] <dsathe> ooh sorry i dont use unity :)
[14:48] <dsathe> lets sort this
[14:48] <dsathe> what kernel u on
[14:48] <BAMbanda> 3.5
[14:48] <dsathe> uname -r
[14:48] <dsathe> oh ok
[14:48] <FloodBot1> dsathe: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:48] <BAMbanda> 3.8
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: echo "options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf > /dev/null
[14:50] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip: I entered that, what is it supposed to do?
[14:50] <dsathe> ok so 3.8 hasd the modules
[14:50] <dsathe> its to do with powerstates
[14:50] <dsathe> turn off flpws
[14:50] <dsathe> should solve the issue
[14:50] <dsathe> may not like your battery too much
[14:51] <dsathe> but i doubt itll make too much of a diff
[14:51] <BAMbanda> hmm how do I do that? sorry lol I'm a noob, but that should change over time
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: adds extra options to the module, can help
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: reboot to test
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: also
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: make sure there are not lots of wii networks on the same channel as yours
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: lots on the same channel will cause issues
[14:52] <dsathe> echo "options rtl8192ce fwlps=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
[14:52] <dsathe> or make it make more sense
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: the file is owned by root, so that will fail
[14:53] <dsathe> echo "options rtl8192ce fwlps=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/wifi-hack.conf
[14:53] <vt102> How can I find the scripts that the "service" command is actually running?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: users cannot write to the folder without sudo
[14:53] <dsathe> sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/wifi-hack.conf
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> vt102: read in /etc/init.d/name
[14:54] <dsathe> paste "options rtl8192ce fwlps=0" and reboot
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: why not just use the command I gave and be done, why are more suggestions even needed when you are simply adding text to a file?
[14:54] <dsathe> sorry i missed something
[14:54] <dsathe> what command
[14:54] <BAMbanda> k
[14:54] <vt102> ActionParsnip: I don't have /etc/init.d/name (12.04)
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> 15:49 < ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: echo "options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf > /dev/null
[14:55] <OerHeks> BAMbanda, use the line from ActionParsnip
[14:55] <BAMbanda> k
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> vt102: yes, but 'name' is the name of the service....right?
[14:55] <dsathe> ah i see BAMbanda yep ActionParsnip command works :)
[14:55] <OerHeks> & reboot
[14:55] <dsathe> didt look sorry folks
[14:55] <BAMbanda> i'll be back in 2 min after my reboot :0
[14:56] <vt102> ActionParsnip: Ah, sorry, yes.  But it is a "Symlink target for initscripts that have been converted to Upstart."
[14:56] <RobOakes> Is there a Ubuntu specific equivalent of oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org)
[14:56] <dsathe> reboot isn't necessary but , yeah wth , go on :D
[14:56] <weecol> !help
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> dsathe: you need to unload and reload the module, reboot is easier for casual users
[14:57] <weecol> !factoid
[14:57] <vt102> It's not clear to me from there where the real scripts are located.  Man upstart gives me the init man page, which isn't clarifying it for me, either.
[14:57] <arvut> heya, is it possible to resize the partitions of an existing install? I need a bigger root and got plenty of space left on /home
[14:57] <weecol> !current lts#
[14:57] <RobOakes> I understand that oVirt can be configured to run on Ubuntu, but it's preferred environment is currently Fedora. I'm just wondering if there is a data center virtualization product that is designed to run on Ubuntu.
[14:57] <arvut> I imagine i must do this inside a live env
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> arvut: could uninstall old unused kernels
[14:57] <arvut> ActionParsnip: done
[14:57] <weecol> !current lts
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> arvut: you cannot resize partitions in a booted OS of the same partitions
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> arvut: the partitions must be unmounted to be manipulated
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> arvut: you will need live cd
[14:58] <BAMbanda> Ok guys, I'm back, so it's working now, like it always has after a restart, lets just hope it stays connected
[14:58] <arvut> thats what I thought
[14:58] <dsathe> BAMbanda: welcome back :) hope this does it
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> arvut: or if you dual boot with another distro, that will do too
[14:58] <BAMbanda> thanks for all the help. I really like ubuntu, tremendously. Its my OS of choice, I just want everything to go smooth :/
[14:58] <arvut> and in there I can resize them? will parted do the job?
[14:59] <arvut> ActionParsnip: I actually don't. but i need to install win7 dual boot soon, so some maintenance is required
[14:59] <BAMbanda> dsathe: do you guys use bitcoins by any chance? I want to start giving little compensation for help I recieve
[15:00] <arvut> will the disktools included in ubuntu do the job? or should I work with fdisk/parted in terminal?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> arvut: liveCD for you then, be sure to run a full backup before you start in case of catastrophe
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> arvut: gparted will do it
[15:00] <dsathe> BAMbanda: haha no, iv'e herad a lot never really botherd to check it out :)
[15:00] <linguini> How can I install mysql info files?  apt-cache search --names-only mysql | grep -i doc # does not show any...?
[15:00] <dsathe> i got so much help here i owe it back :P
[15:01] <DJones> arvut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition has guidance on resizing partitions, the important thing is to make sure you have backups just in case something does go wrong
[15:01] <BAMbanda> cool, positive momentum in this universe can't hurt :)
[15:02] <arvut> DJones: thx, backup of the system is not that important, but the personal files (not mine) must be backed up for certain.
[15:03] <SteveBell> hi all. how'd I partition a 3TB drive into a 2TB and 1TB partition?
[15:03] <SteveBell> it's a ext4 formatted drive
[15:04] <arvut> btw, is ubuntu really supposed to take up 8.5GB? seems rather much for a / filesystem
[15:05] <dsathe> hey jono
[15:05] <prime_> Hello all! I'm thinking of buying the sys76 galago. Is this a good idea or should I wait until we get reviews?
[15:06] <xangua> !ot
[15:06] <xangua> prime_: if it's good for you good then ;)
[15:06] <BAMbanda> #python
[15:06] <dsathe> xangua: I think its a valid place to ask about system76 based ubuntu laptops
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: is it better?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> arvut: try:  sudo apt-get clean
[15:07] <prime_> sorry if it's ot, but I want to run ubuntu flawlessly, as opposed to my optimus mistake last time
[15:07] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip: so far so good :)
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> arvut: also, install bleachbit
[15:07] <BAMbanda> I will not make a conclusion until i get 24 hours of productive work
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> arvut: run it as user, then as root, watch settings or it will remove stuff you want
[15:08] <linguini> To answer my own question: visit http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ to download; ubuntu does not include the mysql documentation for licensing reasons.
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> arvut: also avoid options which say they will take a long time
[15:08] <dsathe> prime_: i would definitelt avoid optimus for now
[15:08] <BAMbanda> how do I register my nick to get on the #python channel?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> !register
[15:09] <dsathe> BAMbanda:  any specific python query ?
[15:09] <BAMbanda> dsathe: I just want to know how feasible it is to develop firefox extensions in python
[15:09] <Mark____> Does anyone in here use any boxes from system76?
[15:10] <Mark____> Wanted a second opinion if it's worth the money
[15:10] <jono> hey dsathe
[15:13] <jaya> Hello
[15:13] <dsathe> how is it going , great stuff on the ubuntu device alliance ;)
[15:14] <dsathe> BAMbanda: depends on what you are trying to build
[15:14] <dsathe> BAMbanda: mostly its XUl
[15:17] <sam_help> Hi all. How do I install 32bit version of a libary?
[15:17] <sam_help> ........./bin/as: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1:
[15:18] <sam_help> but zlib is installed, so I wonder if it's looking for the 32 bit version
[15:19] <SteveBell> can someone explain how to partition an ext4 drive?
[15:21] <sam_help> Steve: do you mean create an ext4 partition?
[15:21] <sam_help> SteveBell:
[15:21] <SteveBell> I have an external ext4 drive (3TB) and want to get 2 partitions (1x 2TB, 1x 1TB)
[15:21] <SteveBell> sam_help:
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> sam_help: how did you install the app requesting the file?
[15:22] <sam_help> SteveBell: well, I think you mean a drive that has an ext4 partition on it. What you need to do is resize the existing EXT4 partition to take up half the drive, which will make half the drive empty space. Then create an extra ext4 partition in the empty space
[15:23] <sam_help> Action: I fixed this problem now by installing apt-get install zlibc:i386 etc
[15:24] <sam_help> ActionParsnip: how the program got into that VM is a horrible messy story
[15:24] <SteveBell> sam_help: sounds good. but I can't find any options for that in disk utility
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> sam_help: cools, before the multiarch thing it was hell
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> sam_help: Ive done it by extracting files from debs and putting them where they are needed
[15:24] <someonewhoknows> i get this error when i tried to boot the fresh installed 12.04
[15:25] <sam_help> Steve: if you are booting from that drive, then it'll be tricky. if you are booting from it, I suggest you go burn a boot disk and partition from there
[15:25] <someonewhoknows> error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
[15:25] <sam_help> ActionParsnip: it's nice being in 2012 now
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> sam_help: indeed
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> sam_help: even if it is 2013
[15:26] <sam_help> SteveBell: If that is the case try this http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[15:26] <sam_help> gtg
[15:26] <sam_help> ActionParsnip: I don't like to run the bleeding edge year. better to stay a version behind until it's stable
[15:26] <sam_help> I'll upgrade in october some time
[15:27] <SteveBell> sam_help: not booting from that drive
[15:27] <SteveBell> it's just for data storage
[15:27] <someonewhoknows> i get this error when i tried to boot the fresh installed 12.04: error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
[15:29] <someonewhoknows> nobody?
[15:29] <sam_help> SteveBell: oh, well I've got to go but apt-get install gparted, then use gparted to resize and create the partitions

[15:30] <tobyjones8> Hi
[15:31] <tobyjones8> I have a question to ask.
[15:31] <tobyjones8> I'm running a server on Ubuntu Server.
[15:31] <decci> I am trying to follow http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Open-Xchange_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu_12.04
[15:31] <tobyjones8> Is it possible to get multiple scripts to run on its own tty when the server boots up?
[15:31] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, yeah this is what iam seeing but i don't know what to put in /dev/sdx
[15:31] <angs> I have a password protected rar file, how do I suppose to use the unrar command?
[15:31] <decci> While adding source.list and adding download.opensuse.org and running it shows Signature not verified
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: do you only have one drive?
[15:31] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, yes
[15:32] <tobyjones8> someonewhoknows, should be /dev/sda1 then
[15:32] <angs> unrar -p -x file.rar, why it does not work?
[15:32] <tobyjones8> unless you have Ubuntu on a different partition
[15:32] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, also it's uefi laptop
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: then it will be /dev/sda
[15:32] <tobyjones8> don't suppose anyone could answer my question?
[15:33] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip,  /home/ubuntu/Downloads/ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

[15:37] <tobyjones8> weldan, thanks
[15:39] <someonewhoknows> i get this error when i tried to boot the fresh installed 12.04 error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: no idea, there are LOADS of web pages on this, have you searched the web any?
[15:39] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, yes but i am confused
[15:39] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, also i did install the same os without any problem
[15:40] <someonewhoknows> i don't know what the ******** is happening
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127718/error-invalid-arch-independent-elf-magic-dual-boot-with-ssd
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: grub needs reinstalling to the mbr, basically
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: you can use this too, from liveCD http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[15:41] <dgfghghghjghj> (when) will there be kde 4.11 backports available for 12.04?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> someonewhoknows: probably cause by UEFI
[15:41] <someonewhoknows> it does not make sense
[15:41] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, how can i check the signature
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | dgfghghghjghj
[15:42] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, of the iso
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[15:45] <daya> any way to point do-release-upgrade to the local repo
[15:47] <phillustine> tips to improve my ubuntu performance?
[15:49] <someonewhoknows> ActionParsnip, in the previous link http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video what's the boot device?
[15:49] <follower> hey does anyone know if xfburn supports disc spanning?
[15:54] <angs> how can I check if my ubuntu has a driver for the graphic card (amd E2-3200 APU Radeon)?
[15:54] <SteveBell> is there a UI way to create two partitions on an ext4 (non system) drive?
[15:55] <legion59> If you go to the reposatories go get the driver installer,...that should work for you IF you need a driver updaate
[15:55] <legion59> but be forwarned,...Ive had problems with the ATI drivers
[15:55] <legion59> Crash and burn
[15:55] <tobyjones8> ATI drivers suck on Ubuntu
[15:55] <tobyjones8> ATI drivers suck anyway
[15:55] <legion59> yup,...
[15:56] <legion59> Best to use it as it is
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> tobyjones8: newer ones are less problematic but I'm avoiding them too
[15:56] <tobyjones8> yeah, but they're not the most stable things in the world
[15:56] <legion59> Ive found that if it works,...Its Good,...
[15:56] <legion59> Bio-Break
[15:56] <tobyjones8> not as bad as nvidia's drivers on Vista when it first came out
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> vista was a mess anyway
[15:59] <tobyjones8> yeah
[15:59] <tobyjones8> point taken
[16:02] <phillustine> can anyone help me with ubuntu performance?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: details please
[16:02] <phillustine> just slow

[16:05] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: is the OS fully updated?
[16:05] <legion59> CPU?
[16:05] <phillustine> ActionParsnip, no idea.
[16:05] <phillustine> how do i check?
[16:05] <legion59> greef,.....
[16:05] <pippo> HELP
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> !help l| pippo
[16:05] <ohcomeon> ActionParsnip, tried the solutions from 2 websites the last one when i boot up it shows me the grub . http://askubuntu.com/questions/72003/grub-invalid-arch-independent-elf-magic-after-11-10-install-on-macbook-pro-5 in this what should i put in /mnt/boot?
[16:06] <legion59> Go get sysinfo
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> !help | pippo
[16:06] <legion59> its in the repository
[16:06] <madprops> how do you install skype on ubonto?
[16:06] <phillustine> legion59, is at his/her witt's end.
[16:06] <legion59> OH thats wasy
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> madprops: ubuntu, not ubonto
[16:06] <Lebby> madprops:  sudo apt-get instal skype
[16:06] <madprops> sudo apt-get it doesn't work
[16:06] <pippo> !help
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> madprops: grab the deb from the skype site o use partner repo
[16:06] <legion59> go to the skype site and get the ubuntu multiarch and just let it do its thing
[16:06] <ohcomeon> madprops, http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=ubuntu64
[16:06] <legion59> it will load and run
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> madprops: it is in the repos, you just have the partner repo disabled by default
[16:07] <madprops> ActionParsnip, the linux client is for 10.04/12.04
[16:07] <genii> madprops: You need to enable the "partner" repository, then do: sudo apt-get update.... then the: sudo apt-get install skype ...will work
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> madprops: still works
[16:08] <madprops> who are these partners
[16:08] <philinux> phillustine: you might have luck with the intel open source driver.  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/intel-release-graphical-installer-for-their-linux-drivers
[16:08] <madprops> sounds fishy
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> madprops: its a repo you can enable using software centre
[16:08] <phillustine> legion59, my cpu: model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7100  @ 1.80GHz
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> madprops: its a ot of proprietary stuff
[16:08] <madprops> i enjoy my freedom
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: is the OS fully updated?
[16:09] <legion59> OH nice,...have atelasst 2 gig of ram and y ou should be real good
[16:09] <steve__> does anyone have experience configuring request tracker, specifically 'RT_SiteConfig.d'?
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> madprops: skype is proprietary, so not free
[16:09] <phillustine> philinux, thanks.
[16:09] <Lebby> madprops:  there is not a version of skype that is free
[16:09] <madprops> i know
[16:09] <Jayar> anyone else having issues with 13.04
[16:09] <madprops> why can't people into free im clients
[16:09] <legion59> 13.04,..just update the hell out of it
[16:09] <madprops> and protocols
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> Lebby: you can type to skype using pidgin, which is free :)
[16:09] <legion59> and it works flawlessly
[16:09] <rclsilver> hi... i don't know how but now i have to press mouse button to scroll with wheel... any way to revert this feature and scroll a page when i use the mouse wheel?
[16:10] <madprops> i'll try pidgin
[16:10] <steve__> !patience
[16:10] <madprops> or empathy?
[16:10] <madprops> which is best
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> madprops: because its a proprietary protocol, so the only people who can make it is skype
[16:10] <legion59> LOVE PIDGON
[16:10] <Lebby> madprops:  yes as im, not as "full featured skype"
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> madprops: none are 'best'
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> madprops: its like asking 'what is the best colour?' its nonsense
[16:10] <madprops> in your opinion it might be
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> madprops: doesnt make it the best
[16:10] <philinux> phillustine: watch out for any gpg key errors after install. I had to manually sort that too. Although I have to say my acer 1410 was never slow so.
[16:10] <madprops> i'm interested in opinioins
[16:11] <ohcomeon> how can i find what /dev/sdx should my /mnt/boot is?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> madprops: you are using an OS that champions freedom and choice, yet you want a room full of strangers to tell you what to think?
[16:11] <madprops> yes
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> ohcomeon: run:  mount; df
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> madprops: thats crazy
[16:11] <philinux> phillustine: what are your pc/laptop specs and what do you mean by slow?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> madprops: I use pidgin, only because of long standing use. Doesnt make it best
[16:12] <ohcomeon> ActionParsnip, i am on a live boot
[16:12] <Lebby> madprops:  i use pidgin, it has more protocols, but ... it has a basic gui
[16:13] <Lebby> madprops:  empathy is more beautiful but it has less plugin and protocols
[16:13] <Jayar> maybe cuz im runnin from a live usb then... cuz im gettin crazy freezing every few secs
[16:13] <madprops> can empathy into skype?
[16:13] <ohcomeon> ActionParsnip, about boot comes up
[16:13] <ohcomeon> ActionParsnip, nothing about boot comes up
[16:14] <phillustine> my cpu: 1.8 Ghz
[16:14] <Lebby> madprops: yes ... using pidgin libraries :D
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: is the OS fully updated?
[16:14] <Lebby> madprops:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/15358/can-i-use-skype-through-empathy
[16:14] <X-Sleepy-X> Jayar: Ubuntu does tend to run a bit slower in a live-session.
[16:15] <phillustine> ActionParsnip, just in the process of doing that. does it make a lot of difference to performance?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: have you tried the 2D session from the login screen (obviously let the updates finish and reboot if needed)
[16:15] <phillustine> ActionParsnip, i never usually update. not sure why.
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> phillustine: updates fix bugs and issues, may also get newer drivers and even a new kernel
[16:15] <Lebby> phillustine:  yes, updating can improve perfomance
[16:16] <agrester> Hello all, I have a pretty serious issue, running 13.04 and the last kernel update seems to have knocked out my computer, I see the boot splash screen but it boots to a blank screen without any TTY access or anything...
[16:16] <phillustine> never turn my nose up at a new kernel
[16:16] <phillustine> Lebby, thanks.
[16:16] <Lebby> phillustine: i'm glad to help you!
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> agrester: if you boot the old kernel is it ok?
[16:16] <agrester> ActionParsnip, how do I get to the GRUB screen?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> agrester: hold SHIFT at boot
[16:17] <Serpiente> what's the difference between `su user` and `sudo -su user`?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: su user will need the user's pass you are su'ing to
[16:17] <jrib> Serpiente: one is a valid command and the other is not
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: sudo su user will need your user's pass and assumes you are in the sudo group
[16:18] <jrib> Serpiente: never mind, I misread
[16:18] <Lebby> :D
[16:18] <agrester> ActionParsnip, the kernel is 3.8.0-26-generic, I think it's bad
[16:18] <Serpiente> su user will only require if I am not root right?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> agrester: try the older kernel and we can progress
[16:19] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: isn't 3.8.0-25-generic the latest from regular upgrades?
[16:19] <agrester> ActionParsnip, ok
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: if you are root and su to another user youwill become that user, as root is all powerful
[16:19] <jrib> Serpiente: « su - user » (it is good practice to call it this way so env gets reset) is exactly the same as user logging in.  If however you do something like « sudo -i -u user » then you are acting using sudo.  It prompts for the password of your sudo user and you don't need tho password of "user"
[16:20] <madprops> ActionParsnip, PIDGIN CLOSES WHEN I TRY TO SKYPE WHAT IS THIS
[16:20] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, it might be, but I don't know how it was updated, I think I might have used the proposed option in the Update Sources, I'll have to check, but then ActionParnsip will have to walk me through rolling back to the stable kernel
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> madprops: WHY ARE WE TYPING IN CAPS? WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE?
[16:20] <jrib> Serpiente: and again, I modified your "sudo -su user" to "sudo -i -u user" because it is good practice to reset the environment
[16:21] <madprops> ActionParsnip, BECAUSE SEG FAULT
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> madprops: take your finger off shift, pok?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> ok*
[16:21] <Lebby> ahahahah
[16:21] <angs> how can I check if I have compositing video manager?
[16:21] <Serpiente> jrib: thank you
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> angs: ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep
[16:22] <Serpiente> ActionParsnip: thank you as well
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: do you use proprietary video driver?
[16:22] <angs> ActionParsnip, thanks
[16:22] <agrester> ActionParsnip, X-Sleepy-X, the strange thing is that this problem happened after I tried to restart networking, I was attempting to setup a VirtualBox Ubuntu Server so I could do some development and testing, I restarted networking using one of the RC.D scripts and then the problems started happening
[16:22] <Serpiente> ActionParsnip: what makes you think that? no video driver at all *gg* ubuntu 12.04 as a server
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: so no xorg ?
[16:23] <Serpiente> writing some doc on how to install and configure jenkins properly, and just wondered where the difference between those command were
[16:23] <Serpiente> nope
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Serpiente: you could add boot options and so forth to set modes etc, may help
[16:24] <Serpiente> ActionParsnip: I guess you are mistaking me with someone else
[16:24] <agrester> ActionParsnip, confirmed the bad kernel is 3.8.0-26-generic
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> likely, its beena long day
[16:25] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, ActionParsnip, what do I do from here?
[16:25] <angs> I have amd e2-3200 APU radeon graphical card on my ubuntu and it works too slow on GUI related processes. how can I accelerate its working states?
[16:26] <angs> lshw -c video shows that it uses "radeon" driver and I am using generic ubuntu image (3.5 kernel)
[16:26] <agrester> How do I roll back the Kernel?
[16:29] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: Are you able to access the grub menu at boot? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB_vs_GRUB_2
[16:29] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: 2. Hold down (right) SHIFT to display the menu during boot. In certain cases, pressing the ESC key may also display the menu.
[16:30] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, yes I did and I successfully booted into 3.8.0-25-generic
[16:30] <angs> how can I disable compositing window manager?
[16:30] <agrester> It's 3.8.0-26-generic thats bad or has a problem with my hardware, either way I need to roll it back, how do I do that?
[16:31] <mah454> Hello
[16:31] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: ok, good. now you will need to uninstall the 3.8.0-26-generic kernel.
[16:31] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, how do I do that?
[16:32] <ska> PT down hard
[16:32] <mah454> I installed fglrx-13 package . now lightdm wont start ! this log : fglrx-13
[16:32] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: i will write some commands for you, but do not execute them just yet. And before confirming the execution read carefully what it will remove
[16:32] <mah454> sorry this log :http://paste.ubuntu.com/5784202/
[16:32] <adie> hi
[16:32] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, ok
[16:33] <adie> is there some magical way to make ubuntu not try to access the internet through one of my two network connections?
[16:33] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: first run: uname -r
[16:33] <adie> I have two connections active at once, but only one of them has internet access, so I think if ubuntu tries to use the one without internet, it all kinda breaks
[16:33] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X ok
[16:34] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: make sure the kerner is 3.8.0-25-generic
[16:34] <X-Sleepy-X> kernel*
[16:34] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: run that command now
[16:34] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, ok done, confirmed
[16:36] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: ok, now run this command, but before pressing y make sure it DOESN'T REMOVE MORE THAN 4 FILES, ok?
[16:36] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge linux-headers-3.8.0-26 linux-image-3.8.0-26-generic
[16:36] <ripthejacker> I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 . I noticed that gksu package is not installed because it is not a recommended way to use gui programs. So what is the recommended way to edit config files in Gui editors that require root access?
[16:37] <OerHeks> ripthejacker, gksudo
[16:37] <SonikkuAmerica> ripthejacker: OerHeks means just install gksu
[16:37] <DJones> ripthejacker: I normally use gksudo gedit filename for a GUI method, or sudo nano filename from a terminal
[16:37] <ripthejacker> OerHeks: it's not installed in 13.04
[16:37] <SonikkuAmerica> ripthejacker: But use gksudo, NOT gksu
[16:37] <HeyM-Cld> Hello, I am dual booting ubuntu 13.04 and trying to resize the partition. I resized the partition but, there is no free space, it seems it only made /host bigger. Can anybody help?
[16:38] <mah454> fglrx driver not work in ubuntu 13.04 , please view this log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5784202/
[16:38] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: when it uninstalls the kernel, make sure it says something about the current version of the kernel while it runs the update-grub part
[16:38] <mah454> How can fix this problem ?
[16:38] <ripthejacker> SonikkuAmerica: yes they both are the same but I read an article that says it's not recommended and that's why it's not installed by default
[16:38] <OerHeks> SonikkuAmerica, no i didn't mean that, gksudo should be available standard
[16:38] <SonikkuAmerica> OerHeks: Although it's not with Unity.
[16:38] <ripthejacker> OerHeks: it's not anymore
[16:38] <SonikkuAmerica> Not in 13.04
[16:38] <ripthejacker> yes
[16:39] <ripthejacker> And i'm using 13.04
[16:39] <OerHeks> oh, bad decision to remove gksudo, it should not infringe
[16:39] <SonikkuAmerica> Tell 'em put it back in 13.10
 Hello, I have a laptop that can boot cd/dvd only. i'd like to boot it using grub and than load an OS that resides on an mmc card. is this possible? if it is how?
[16:40] <HeyM-Cld> I think its just a matter of changing it from "/host" to "/"
[16:40] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: how's it coming?
[16:40] <matanya> HeyM-Cld: what do you mean?
[16:40] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, it removed them and their associated kernel modules
[16:41] <HeyM-Cld> read my other post
[16:41] <HeyM-Cld> (@matanya)
[16:41] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: don't reboot until you have confirmed that you have a kernel
[16:41] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: do you see the ...-25-generic kernel if you run? : sudo update-grub
[16:42] <matanya> HeyM-Cld: i see, sorry, can't help.
[16:42] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, I saw GRUB update the latest kernel was 3.8.0-25, and 'uname -r' reveals the same
[16:42] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: ok, try rebooting now _without_ pressing shift
[16:43] <HeyM-Cld> Ok then
[16:43] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, one more thing, I'm checking Software & Sources, should I uncheck raring-backports and leave proposed, updates and security?
[16:44] <HeyM-Cld> Can anyone help??
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> a warning should popup if someone should enter 'gksudo nautilus'
[16:44] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: uncheck proposed leave the rest
[16:45] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, proposed is for really super unstable stuff, like testing?
[16:45] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: it is pre-released upgrades
[16:46] <servercbe> hello! I'm back!... Question... I have 25 imac  Mac OS X 10.1, 128 mb Ram, PowerPC G3 and i want to run with LTSP.. Is it POSSIBLE?????
[16:47] <auronandace> !ppc | servercbe
[16:47] <servercbe> 25 imac  Mac OS X 10.1, 128 mb Ram, PowerPC G3 and i want to run with LTSP.. Is it POSSIBLE?????
[16:47] <jpmh> I need a command line command that will give me the local ip address on the LAN through which I am connected.
[16:47] <servercbe> ok.. I will read now...
[16:48] <X-Sleepy-X> jpmh: ifconfig
[16:49] <jpmh> X-Sleepy-X: true - I was hoping for something by which I did not need to look through so much stuff - or is there a switch for ifconfig so this is all I get
[16:49] <HeyM-Cld> X-Sleepy-X: Do you know how to solve my problem?
[16:50] <agrester> X-Sleepy-X, restart is normal so far, now logging in, everything is normal, thanks for the help that was super tricky, that's the famous Linux reliability for you!
[16:51] <X-Sleepy-X> jpmh: perhaps: ifconfig | grep addr
[16:51] <st34lth_> #bash
[16:52] <zero2XIII> jpmh: what info are you trying to display from ifconfig?
[16:52] <oal> For some reason I have to press ctrl+shift+... and shift+ctrl+... doesn't work anymore. Happens in any application. If I press ctrl first, no shortcuts work. Any ideas?
[16:52] <X-Sleepy-X> agrester: :) glad i could help
[16:53] <jpmh> zero2XIII: I just want the LAN ip address by which I am currently connected
[16:53] <BluesKaj> jpmh, try route -n , that gives the gateway IP , not the machine IP
[16:55] <zero2XIII> oal: jpmh, ifconfig eth | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}'
[16:56] <jpmh> BluesKaj: yes - but I want my ip address
[16:56] <oal> zero2XIII, not for me, right?
[16:56] <X-Sleepy-X> zero2XIII: i wonder if typing that goes faster than reading the output of ifconfig... :)
[16:56] <jpmh> zero2XIII: yep - that is what I was trying to awoid - but I guess that will work
[16:56] <zero2XIII> oal: sorry hahaha.. No idea why that is still there I wanted to ask what version ubuntu you running
[16:56] <SonikkuAmerica> X-Sleepy-X: Doubt it :P
[16:56] <BluesKaj> jpmh, web IP ?
[16:57] <oal> zero2XIII, :) Ubuntu 13.04 with Unity
[16:57] <jpmh> BluesKaj: not sire what you mean  - but I want the local address on the local LAN so the above ifconfig etc does work
[16:57] <BluesKaj> jpmh, go to , whatsmyip.com
[16:57] <stfu> Howdy
[16:57] <zero2XIII> oal, what shortcut are you trying to use that has that issue?
[16:57] <stfu> Any devs available?
[16:57] <zero2XIII> jpmh, X-Sleepy-X, sure but just do an alias for the command
[16:58] <jpmh> BluesKaj: no - that is what I do not want, that is the WAN address, I want the LAN address
[16:58] <stfu> NICK Jimmyk
[16:58] <oal> zero2XIII, lots of them, ctrl+shift+t to reopen a closed tab in Firefox, as an example, as well as lots of shortcuts in PyCharm/Intellij
[16:58] <BluesKaj> jpmh, exactly how are you connecting to theinternet , pls describe your connection
[16:58] <jpmh> zero2XIII: I agree - was just hoping there was some command to do it
[16:58] <X-Sleepy-X> zero2XIII: true, true
[16:59] <jpmh> BluesKaj: always connecting through a local router/lan, sometimes that is on another LAN etc.  But I just need the local/LAN IP address of the machine
[16:59] <zero2XIII> jpmh: X-Sleepy-X: No command to ONLY display the LAN address, doing an alias if you want this regularly is the best way in my opinion.
[16:59] <zero2XIII> oal: hmmm
[17:00] <zero2XIII> oal: give me a second, I recall something I did to fix this issue on my system... But cant find it right now.. Just a sec
[17:00] <donvito> i am currently on Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS with gnome classic  due to low graphic card i want to upgrade to 13.10 but can i still use gnome classic?
[17:00] <oal> zero2XIII, something weird: When I press shift+ctrl in my terminal, the cursor turns into a bordered box, as if the terminal wasn't active/selected. When I do the opposite, it shows as normal
[17:01] <HeyM-Cld> Hello, I am dual booting ubuntu 13.04 and trying to resize the partition. I resized the partition but, there is no free space, it seems it only made /host bigger. Is there anyway I can make "/" bigger
[17:01] <savio> Hi
[17:01] <oal> HeyM-Cld, try Gparted
[17:01] <HeyM-Cld> Im using it now
[17:01] <HeyM-Cld> There is no way to change it
[17:02] <jpmh> X-Sleepy-X: I agree - thank you to all that offered suggestions
[17:02] <oal> I think you need to unmount the disk, HeyM-Cld
[17:02] <BluesKaj> jpmh, ifconfig | grep inet
[17:02] <demophobia> Does Ubuntu have software to work with (e.g. annotate) PDF files? If so, can one manipulate text annotations to be left-aligned, center-aligned, etc?
[17:02] <madprops> Lebby, how do you get Empathy to skype?
[17:03] <HeyM-Cld> oal: I mean, there is no option for it
[17:03] <donvito> i am currently on Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS with gnome classic  due to low graphic card i want to upgrade to 13.04 can i still use gnome classic?
[17:03] <tgm4883> probably worth mentioning that ifconfig if being deprecated
[17:03] <bmxscott1993> got a problem made a video to show you my problem need help fixing it https://www.dropbox.com/s/nf8yt7tc18gwa4n/20130620_164831.mp4
[17:03] <Lebby> madprops:  i used pidgin with skype ... but only as im
[17:03] <zero2XIII> oal: have you played with settings in the compiz config manager before?
[17:03] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: what's the problem?
[17:03] <jpmh> BluesKaj: that will not work - since it gives all the interfaces - I do need to get the one that is connecrted - I was just hping that there may be a command,  it is easy enough to work around - so thatnk you all
[17:03] <bmxscott1993> boot up screen
[17:03] <oal> HeyM-Cld, not sure then. I haven't used gparted in a while
[17:04] <oal> zero2XIII, not much
[17:04] <bmxscott1993> the link is the video
[17:04] <bmxscott1993> https://www.dropbox.com/s/nf8yt7tc18gwa4n/20130620_164831.mp4
[17:04] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: the video was too long
[17:04] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: what's the actual problem?
[17:04] <zero2XIII> oal: oka cause there are some functions if you enable them, they grab key combinations they shouldn't
[17:04] <usr13> !ubuntu
[17:04] <BluesKaj> jpmh, route -n will give your internet gateway/router address if that's what you mean
[17:05] <tgm4883> jpmh, are you using network manager?
[17:05] <bmxscott1993> i got no ubuntu logo on boot up and it just purple and like static on the screen it the same when i turn it off
[17:05] <bmxscott1993> but it login
[17:05] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: CRT or LCD?
[17:05] <bmxscott1993> and all clear on the login screen
[17:06] <bmxscott1993> crt
[17:06] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: wrong video mode, you're using a mode your monitor doesn't support correctly
[17:06] <Kai_p_IE> some how if my pc locks on board starts and i dont know why i am running ubuntu 12.04
[17:06] <benbloom> so I uses dd_rescue to clone an ailing HD, now I have this enormous file but I'm not sure what I can do with it.
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> what's the purpose of  word 'complete' in that factoid?
[17:06] <usr13> !nomodeset | bmxscott1993
[17:06] <zero2XIII> oal: try opening compiz settings manager, then go to preferences, and export your current settings then reset to default and see if your shortcuts work properly
[17:06] <Kai_p_IE> some how if my pc locks on board starts and i dont know why i am running ubuntu 12.04LTS
[17:06] <jpmh> BluesKaj: No, what I want is what I get from the ifconfig - I just need to parse it.  I want the local/LAN ip address of the machine I am on
[17:06] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: bet it looks like the logo is in there somewhere but it's all diagonal stripy rubbish that moves across the screen?
[17:06] <bmxscott1993> but never had the problem when running 13.04 but needed lts so when back to 12.04
[17:06] <usr13> bmxscott1993: Or could be that 3d is broken on your system.
[17:07] <oal> zero2XIII, hmm, haven't changed anything lately. Will do that. Have to go for a bit. Will try when I'm back. Thanks!
[17:07] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: do you get as far as a grub prompt?
[17:07] <usr13> bmxscott1993: (You can opt for 2d at the login screen.)
[17:07] <erle-> SSH in nautilus is broken
[17:07] <zero2XIII> oal: cool no worries, try that. you can import the settings again if it didnt do anything
[17:07] <bmxscott1993> no can not see it but it go to login screen
[17:07] <erle-> "ssh unexpectedly exited"
[17:07] <usr13> bmxscott1993: Try 2D
[17:07] <bmxscott1993> and it all ok there just on boot up
[17:08] <bmxscott1993> screen
[17:08] <erle-> please try somebody and file bug
[17:08] <bmxscott1993> and log off screen
[17:08] <tgm4883> jpmh, I assume that was at me?
[17:08] <BluesKaj> jpmh, what exactly do you mean by your LAN IP , that's the same as your router IP , which is the gateway IP , or route -n
[17:08] <bmxscott1993> read up that it called a splash screen
[17:08] <X-Sleepy-X> jpmh: you gonna like this: hostname -I
[17:08] <usr13> bmxscott1993: What you really mean is that the desktop is not complete after login. Right?
[17:09] <usr13> X-Sleepy-X: -i  ?
[17:09] <zero2XIII> BlueKaj, he wants to display his computers local IP (inetadr in ifconfig)
[17:09] <bmxscott1993> no it all good and fine  just when booting up it meant to come up with the ubuntu loading screen then to login
[17:09] <X-Sleepy-X> usr13: capital i
[17:10] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: if it's just during boot, ignore it
[17:10] <bmxscott1993> ok
[17:10] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: how much time do you spend staring at boot screens anyway? ;-)
[17:10] <jpmh> guys - what I want is EXACTLY what I get from the ifconfig as long as I parse it to the inet address.  We have it.  THANK YOU ALL
[17:10] <usr13> X-Sleepy-X: Oh, well, they both work, it's just that -i shows only the IP
[17:10] <gordonjcp> bmxscott1993: can you pick stuff from the grub menu, and see the desktop?
[17:10] <Kai_p_IE> some how if my pc locks on board starts and i dont know why i am running ubuntu 12.04LTS
[17:11] <BluesKaj> zero2XIII, I asked him that he said no , he wants LAN IP which I interpret as the router IP , gateway IP
[17:11] <bmxscott1993> but say if i need grubs up to fix it throue recover i can not
[17:11] <bmxscott1993> cus it all purple
[17:11] <zero2XIII> BlueKaj: Oh, well seems he got it now with hostname -I... The result he wants
[17:11] <usr13> X-Sleepy-X: (Earlier versions of hostname did not have option I (only i).
[17:11] <bmxscott1993> no cus it all purple with static
[17:12] <X-Sleepy-X> usr13: :)

[17:22] <lurkerrrr> Excuse my noobiness (and my english for that matter).
[17:22] <lurkerrrr> But do you have any idea why my (ancient) jabber account is linked to one of my gmail accounts (same password/contacts etc). If I remember well I opened the jabber account I am talking about a few years ago, and now I do not seem to find the dashboard/page-settings, whatever is called to change the linkage to the gmail account, or to change the password (to be different from the gmail one). I have been looking on the net, for the last 20
[17:22] <mrguser> ok
[17:22] <lurkerrrr> Any of you guys and girls ...... there's 1719 people here
[17:22] <reisio> lurkerrrr: what does that have to do with Ubuntu?
[17:23] <lurkerrrr> Sorry to bump into
[17:23] <lurkerrrr> iIIIIIIIIIII know
[17:23] <lurkerrrr> sorry
[17:23] <benbloom> so I uses dd_rescue to clone an ailing HD, now I have this enormous file but I'm not sure what I can do with it. I think there's something wrong with the superblock but I don't know what that means or how to fix it
[17:23] <lurkerrrr> I was wondering whether any of you might know about it. .... I have been looking for an answer to this.
[17:23] <ikonia> benbloom: dd won't fix the superblock
[17:23] <usr13> lurkerrrr: Wrong channel.
[17:24] <ikonia> benbloom: dd is a block by block copy of the damaged disk - I don't see any benifit to having it
[17:24] <lurkerrrr> I know
[17:24] <lurkerrrr> thank you
[17:24] <reisio> benbloom: ffr use ddrescue, not dd_rescue
[17:24] <benbloom> so ikonia is there no hope for the data stored on that drive?
[17:24] <Kai_p_IE> some how if my pc locks on board starts and i dont know why i am running ubuntu 12.04LTS (Thats it thats all that happens the pc sleeps and i seem to get the keyboard poping up and i dont know why)
[17:24] <ikonia> benbloom: depends,
[17:24] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: saying the same thing over and over doesn't help
[17:25] <usr13> benbloom: We don't know....
[17:25] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: you need to give more info. What is "pc locks onboard starts"
[17:25] <Kai_p_IE> the on screen keyboard <ikonia>
[17:25] <usr13> Kai_p_IE: Are you having trouble recovering from sleep mode?
[17:25] <Kai_p_IE> usr13, nope
[17:26] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: why are you using an onscren keyboard
[17:26] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: test it with a normal keyboard
[17:26] <phillustine> i'm trying to install conky, and i run make but it states there's no make file. what can i do?
[17:26] <ikonia> phillustine: why are you compiling it ? it's in the repos
[17:26] <X-Sleepy-X> phillustine: why not just install it with apt-get ?
[17:26] <benbloom> ikonia: usr13 I'm really in past my depth here. If this isn't the right place to ask, please point me to where i should
[17:26] <ikonia> phillustine: open the package manager, search for conky, install it
[17:26] <Kai_p_IE> ikonia, i don't know i just came back from the pc and it poped up all the time as i go to unlock my pc
[17:27] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: just reboot it
[17:27] <phillustine> good point. i'll do it that way. incidentally. is it possible to search the repos from the command line?
[17:27] <ikonia> benbloom: what's actually happened to y our disk ?
[17:27] <ikonia> phillustine: apt-cache search $package

[17:27] <billy__> hi is there anyway to dualboot a palm pre 2 with hp webos and a linux os
[17:28] <benbloom> ikonia: it just stopped mounting. system claims there's no partition table, but data is still there.
[17:28] <ikonia> benbloom: ok it's stopped automounting, or it's stopped mounting totally
[17:28] <DJones> billy__: I think you'll need to find a dedicated Palm channel for that, its a bit beyond the scope of this channel
[17:28] <usr13> Kai_p_IE: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch
[17:28] <Kai_p_IE> ikonia, nope but if it gos to screensaver it pops up
[17:29] <Kai_p_IE> usr13, your not helping i am not talking about that
[17:29] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: ok - so the screen saver process is trigginer it, right
[17:29] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: he is helping - you're not being clear.
[17:29] <benbloom> ikonia: it's stopped mounting altogether
[17:29] <ikonia> benbloom: what happens if you try to manually mount it
[17:29] <phillustine> ikonia, many tanks.
[17:29] <Kai_p_IE> ikonia, sorry yeah
[17:30] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: ok, so the issue is "When I the screen saver starts, the on screen keyboard appears on screen"
[17:30] <Kai_p_IE> ikonia, Yeah sorry
[17:30] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE: ok - so when it pops up, is it useable ?
[17:31] <Kai_p_IE> no ikonia i am on a laptop with a working keyboard so i have no need for it
[17:31] <armin> is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut to cycle through the windows of an open application without display the task switcher in that case?
[17:31] <ikonia> Kai_p_IE:  I didn't ask if you had need for it - I asked if it worked
[17:31] <zero2XIII> armin: for what application?
[17:31] <armin> like you have a few terminal windows open and all you want is cycle through them and display them and not having to focus on the task switcher.
[17:31] <armin> zero2XIII: any application.
[17:32] <armin> that feature would really increase the user experience i think.
[17:32] <zero2XIII> armin: I only know if the application supports it, eg firefox, some terminal emulators support that function
[17:32] <armin> zero2XIII: you're thinking away from the origin.
[17:33] <armin> zero2XIII: but thank you.
[17:33] <zero2XIII> armin: explain?
[17:33] <armin> zero2XIII: i mean i really want that feature to integrate with the unity taskswitcher, not a workaround.
[17:34] <zero2XIII> armin: if you have multiple screens open of one application the unity switcher DOES allow you to switch between windows
[17:34] <benbloom> ikonia: dmesg says "EXT4-fs (sdi): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem"
[17:34] <armin> zero2XIII: i never had any doubt to that.
[17:34] <ikonia> benbloom: what command are you using exactly to mount it
[17:35] <armin> zero2XIII: what i'm looking for is simply switching to the other windows, WITHOUT displaying the switcher.
[17:35] <armin> zero2XIII: think of the behaviour that fluxbox has for example.
[17:35] <benbloom> sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdi /mnt/HDHD2
[17:35] <ikonia> benbloom: that's a disk - not a partition
[17:36] <ikonia> benbloom: you need to mount the partition
[17:36] <ikonia> benbloom: eg: sdi1
[17:36] <armin> zero2XIII: thing is, that you can create seperate keyboard bindings to switch through windows of just the current application and also for iterating through ALL applications. i use the former a lot to cycle through the terminal sessions i have open.
[17:36] <benbloom> mount: special device /dev/sdi1 does not exist
[17:36] <armin> zero2XIII: so basically for me it is VERY disturbing to always end up in the switcher, having to find my terminal windows there, and so on.
[17:36] <X-Sleepy-X> armin: why not just use tabs?
[17:36] <armin> zero2XIII: it's WAY easier to remember where a terminal window resides on your deskopt, and simply switch to that.
[17:36] <ikonia> benbloom: ok - so this is bad, it looks like there is no partitions/parttiion table on this device
[17:37] <armin> X-Sleepy-X: because it's a different feature.
[17:37] <ikonia> benbloom: what has happened to this disk ?
[17:37] <zero2XIII> armin: I see, give me second, my system does exactly what you are saying when I do shift+tab
[17:37] <armin> X-Sleepy-X: there are PLENTY of situations where you need multiple terminals displaying their content at the same time, especially when coding.
[17:38] <benbloom> ikonia: it's a bit old? according to SMART it has "184 End-to-End_Error"
[17:38] <ikonia> benbloom: but has something actually happened to it ?
[17:38] <ikonia> benbloom: or is it just failing because it's old
[17:39] <armin> zero2XIII: basically i would even use the "Static Application Switcher" plugin in ccsm if it wouldn't crash when trying to enable it, but the whole compiz stack is just one broken buggy mess.
[17:39] <benbloom> no. it just suddenly disappeared from my system and when i tried to mount it i got 'no partition table'
[17:39] <benbloom> ikonia: no. it just suddenly disappeared from my system and when i tried to mount it i got 'no partition table'
[17:39] <ikonia> benbloom: run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdi" check if there is a partition table, but it sounds like the disk is just failing
[17:39] <zero2XIII> armin: I was just about to suggest it, that is what I use.
[17:40] <zero2XIII> armin: however, mine is not really buggy?
[17:40] <armin> zero2XIII: hmmm.
[17:40] <zero2XIII> armin: also I set up window groups
[17:40] <armin> maybe i get it to work with some weird combinations of clicking around in that weird ccsm thing.
[17:40] <zero2XIII> so I can switch INSIDE a group...
[17:40] <armin> zero2XIII: yeah exactly.
[17:40] <armin> zero2XIII: that's precisely what i want.
[17:41] <armin> zero2XIII: but WITHOUT displaying the switcher at all.
[17:41] <armin> zero2XIII: it should just switch.
[17:41] <zero2XIII> armin: just change focus basicly?
[17:41] <armin> exactly.
[17:41] <armin> if that would possible i would really have no reason to ditch unity.
[17:41] <armin> but it distracts me a lot when working.
[17:42] <sharif> ubuntu 13.4 vmwera player a not full scerin
[17:42] <benbloom> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5784399/ someone here suggested I try dd_rescue but it seems to have copied the corruption. is there a way to try to recover the data from the disc?
[17:42] <zero2XIII> armin: well then you should enable the group and tab windows option in unity
[17:42] <armin> zero2XIII: the idea of having to find the window you're looking for in the switcher is just stupid.
[17:43] <armin> zero2XIII: i got that one.
[17:43] <ikonia> benbloom: I didn't tell you to do fsck !
[17:43] <usr13> armin: I may be late in the conversation, but are you talking about the function of Alt-F2 ?  Or someting similar?
[17:43] <ikonia> benbloom: I asked you to do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdi"
[17:43] <zero2XIII> armin: maybe, but I like it again... And then after the groups are set up (super G i think is the default) then you can switch with the switcher of choice inside that group)
[17:43] <usr13> armin: Sorry, I meant to say Alt-Tab
[17:43] <benbloom> oops. my bad. i've been at this a while ikonia. 1sec
[17:44] <fungus304> alright ive been having trouble with my intell 855gm video card for about a week now. i have a freshly installed and updated lubuntu 13.04 i know that the video drivers are supposed to be pre loaded but something definatly is not right. youtube videos show up half size and in purple and green. any help would be greatly apreciated
[17:44] <ikonia> benbloom: you have to be much more careful and pay attention
[17:44] <donvito> i am currently on Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS with gnome classic  due to low graphic card i want to upgrade to 13.04 can i still use gnome classic?
[17:44] <usr13> armin: I use Alt-Tab and Alt-F2 alot.....
[17:44] <ikonia> benbloom: commands like that can remove any chance of recovery
[17:44] <usr13> donvito: Short answer, yes
[17:45] <donvito> usr13:  is it better to stay on 12.04 than go to 13.04 ?
[17:45] <BluesKaj> fungus304, which graphics ?
[17:45] <fungus304> intell 855gm
[17:45] <usr13> donvito: Matter of opinion, but I prefer 12.04 for a number of reasons.  (I also use xfce.)
[17:45] <BluesKaj> on board or pci . fungus304
[17:45] <donvito> okk
[17:46] <fungus304> uhm... integrated?
[17:46] <benbloom> ikonia: error of fdisk is 'Disk /dev/sdi doesn't contain a valid partition table' output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5784407/
[17:46] <ikonia> benbloom: ok, this is the root of the problem,
[17:46] <ikonia> benbloom: getting a parttion table on this without damaging the data is key
[17:47] <fungus304> sorry not sure what u mean
[17:47] <BluesKaj> fungus304, ok onboard=integrated , run dkms status and pastebin the result
[17:47] <fungus304> from my understanding its integrated into the motherboard...
[17:47] <mreq> Howdy. Anyone got a nice tutorial on how to install 12.04 server with RVM+nginx via passenger (system wide).
[17:48] <mreq> I'm willing to host a RoR website + one wordpress blog (can do the PHP setup...)
[17:48] <fungus304> alright open terminal sudo dkms?
[17:48] <ikonia> benbloom: I suggest you read in great detail this page http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-data-recovery.html
[17:48] <BluesKaj> no ,just, dkms status, fungus304
[17:48] <zero2XIII> fungus304: dkms status
[17:48] <armin> hm, seems like i should just live with the downsides of the static application switcher then.
[17:48] <ikonia> benbloom: this really is your only real chance
[17:48] <donvito> usr13:  i like xfce now im going to install it:)
[17:49] <fungus304> says program currently not installed?
[17:49] <benbloom> thanks ikonia.
[17:49] <zero2XIII> armin: if you only use it to switch between temrinal windows, try ctrl z, and use fg to return to the different active applications inside the terminal... just a thought
[17:49] <fungus304> i assume i should install
[17:50] <BluesKaj> fungus304, look in additional drivers
[17:50] <zero2XIII> armin: but yes.. Maybe unity it to "eye candy" rich to do that..
[17:50] <fungus304> shows none
[17:50] <armin> zero2XIII: that's again a workaround of thinking in a completely different direction. that's like suggesting to use screen when someone asks for a bug in the tab implementation of their terminal emulator.
[17:51] <fungus304> under preferences software and updates additional drivers
[17:51] <armin> zero2XIII: but, thanks.
[17:51] <wheatthin> grr stupid update broke my chrome install ;/
[17:51] <zero2XIII> armin: yea, well then grab some source and code in this ability you seek?.. since it seems there is no other way than "a workaround"..
[17:51] <fungus304> i tried the ppa glasen/intel blah blah and says 404 error not found reverting to older software
[17:52] <zero2XIII> armin: sure no worries
[17:52] <iDrofox> hello, how i can convert a partiton from gpt to mbr using gparted in ubuntu so i can install win 7 ?
[17:52] <armin> zero2XIII: i might just live with the static application switcher plugin i guess.
[17:52] <ikonia> iDrofox: you can't convert partitions
[17:52] <fungus304> furhtermore tried intels linux driver software same result 404 not found
[17:53] <zero2XIII> armin: last possible work around, super W, and select the screen...
[17:53] <iDrofox> ikonia: win 7 says i can't install it in gpt drive...so i want to change it to mbr so i can install win 7..?
[17:53] <iDrofox> i am trying to do it with ubuntu..any tool i can download ?
[17:53] <ikonia> iDrofox:  you can't "change it"
[17:53] <fungus304> when running xp i had no problems when installed ubuntu i cant watch video... tried xubuntu kubuntu now lubunt
[17:54] <zero2XIII> armin: click or arrows and enter.
[17:54] <ikonia> iDrofox: you need to delete the partition table (and thus all partitions) and re-create a new partition table in the correct format
[17:54] <iDrofox> ok
[17:54] <iDrofox> which means loss of all data ?
[17:54] <zero2XIII> armin: but gtg.
[17:54] <ikonia> iDrofox: not if you back it up
[17:54] <iDrofox> ikonia:ok thx
[17:54] <fungus304> W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/glasen/intel-driver/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[17:55] <wheatthin> reinstalling it worked. 0.o
[17:57] <phillustine> is ram usage of 41% normal?
[17:57] <ikonia> can be
[17:57] <wheatthin> phillustine, depends on how much you have
[17:57] <ikonia> depends on many things,
[17:57] <ikonia> not how much you have
[17:57] <phillustine> 410MiB/992MiB
[17:57] <phillustine> aha
[17:57] <phillustine> ja, this, firefox, and a terminal
[17:58] <fungus304> is there no way to get my intell 855gm video card to function properly with ubuntu
[17:58] <wheatthin> fungus201, what does your xorg.conf file look like?
[17:58] <Pici> phillustine: How are you calculating that?
[17:58] <phillustine> Pici, calculating what? my RAM?
[17:58] <phillustine> from conky
[17:59] <Pici> phillustine: Whats the output of free -m
[17:59] <ikonia> so you're running more than you just said
[17:59] <ikonia> you're also running conkey
[17:59] <fungus304> sudo xorg.conf?
[17:59] <hackvier_> hello friends,
[17:59] <phillustine> ikonia, exactly. slipped my mind.
[17:59] <hackvier_> i have 12.04 and  want install  maliit
[17:59] <wheatthin> fungus201, pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:59] <hackvier_> but have error.
[17:59] <ikonia>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf should not exist unless you have forced creation of one
[18:00] <phillustine> Pici, Mem: 991 (tot), 874 (used), 117 (free)
[18:00] <ikonia> so that's more than %40
[18:00] <ikonia> and that's also bad numbers
[18:00] <fungus304> bash: /etc/x11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
[18:00] <wheatthin> ikonia, I find that forcing it to make one helps, especially with login prompts resolution
[18:00] <ikonia> wheatthin: why ? what are you trying to force with it ?
[18:00] <Pici> ikonia: conky could be doing the +/- buffers/cache calculation itself.
[18:00] <ikonia> wheatthin: what have you configured it
[18:00] <ikonia> Pici: I'd hope it is
[18:01] <killer> hey , how can I reduce ram usage in ubuntu 12.04 64 bit server
[18:01] <wheatthin> ikonia, fglrx-updates drivers
[18:01] <ikonia> oh dear
[18:01] <BluesKaj> fungus304, that ppa is faulty and has been removed from launchpad
[18:02] <fungus304> so what now?
[18:02] <usr13> fungus304 lsb_release -r   #What version are you on?
[18:02] <wheatthin> ikonia, so forcing   aticonfig --initial -f did the job for me to fix the login screen's resolution
[18:02] <fungus304> 13.04
[18:03] <usr13> fungus304: Fully updated?
[18:04] <fungus304> i think so i did the sudo apt-get update and upgrade and did software updater
[18:05] <phillustine> ikonia, what would you expect it to be?
[18:05] <usr13> fungus304: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2091024
[18:05] <ikonia> phillustine: there is no set expectation
[18:05] <phillustine> ok
[18:06] <qubit01> how would I make a keyboard shortcut to select a certain Window ?  Like Ctrl+Shift+e goes to my eclipse widnow ?
[18:06] <natrixnatrix89> when I log into ubuntu, I get this informative greeting: http://pastebin.com/vTNfTgbx
[18:06] <natrixnatrix89> Is there a command to get such system information during runtime?
[18:06] <phillustine> quit
[18:06] <wheatthin> phillustine, you can always try like i said to generate xorg.conf file
[18:06] <wheatthin> lol nvm
[18:07] <qubit01> natrixnatrix89, that looks like an AWS EC2 instance
[18:07] <natrixnatrix89> lol..
[18:07] <natrixnatrix89> no. it's my computer..
[18:07] <reisio> qubit01: wmctrl
[18:07] <reisio> qubit01: or look into tiling window managers
[18:07] <qubit01> reisio, awesome!  looking it up
[18:07] <wheatthin> why after logging out, does X:0 switch to X:1?
[18:07] <natrixnatrix89> qubit01: But the question was.. what's the command to get system info?
[18:08] <qubit01> natrixnatrix89, that comes from the motd of the file
[18:08] <qubit01> so id look in there first
[18:08] <natrixnatrix89> motd?
[18:08] <qubit01> message of the day, usually /etc/motd
[18:08] <qubit01> looks like there doingsomething cool with it
[18:09] <natrixnatrix89> wow.. really.. that's what it contains..
[18:09] <natrixnatrix89> how do they generate it then?
[18:09] <qubit01> look in that file and find out :)
[18:09] <natrixnatrix89> but it's just plain text..
[18:09] <natrixnatrix89> There must be a script generating this file..
[18:10] <qubit01> search for motd , there might be config files for it somewhere
[18:10] <qubit01> cd /etc/update-motd.d
[18:10] <Bewbasaurus> hi everyone
[18:11] <qubit01> go to hell! ... oh sorry.  Hullo!

[18:11] <reisio> Bewbasaurus: this well could be that channel
[18:11] <natrixnatrix89> qubit01: Thank's!
[18:12] <meadhikari> hi, any idea on where I can find the Ubuntu Dell ISO's that come pre installed? I mean with all the drivers

[18:20] <ZOrc> hi
[18:22] <ironfroggy> Does anyone have experience with an issue between two machines that won't SCP? no errors, but the file is never written. -v indicates it does transfer, however.
[18:23] <Beanios> I can't seem to view any windows PCs on my ubuntu 13.04 machine. How can I resolve this?
[18:23] <X-Sleepy-X> pagios: are you going to have like a static connection to one wifi network?
[18:23] <pagios> X-Sleepy-X: correct
[18:23] <skorasaurus> i have a ubuntu 12.04 live usb, I go to the install option but it takes me to the desktop without a install icon, it acts as if its in live mode only.
[18:24] <skorasaurus> how do i install ubuntu on the computer then ?
[18:24] <ironfroggy> Beanios, what does "view any windows PCs" mean?
[18:24] <pagios> so i have a static configuration in /etc/network/interface for wlan4 so my laptop gets assigned the ip but doesn connect to the wireless network X-Sleepy-X
[18:24] <Beanios> I am trying to see them on the network
[18:24] <Beanios> but I can't connect
[18:24] <cstewart> Beanios are you meaning samba or network shares if so you might need to install smb or samba
[18:24] <fungus731> god i just dont understand why video is purple and green
[18:25] <X-Sleepy-X> pagios: how have you configured the /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:25] <Beanios> I have samba, maybe I didn't install it correctly
[18:25] <pagios> X-Sleepy-X: http://pastebin.com/h8FsQTYg
[18:25] <cstewart> can the windows computer see your ubuntu computer
[18:25] <Beanios> I will reinstall it
[18:26] <cstewart> Its also suggest to reboot after installing since profiled will need to update apparmour profile
[18:26] <Beanios> Wait, I will just quickly install samba
[18:26] <Beanios> ok, I will reboot after
[18:27] <pagios> anyone please?
[18:27] <marcbiskup> cheers
[18:27] <X-Sleepy-X> pagios: have you tried adding wpa-ssid MyNetwork and wpa-psk MyPassword123 in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[18:28] <pagios> huh? never heard of that
[18:28] <pagios> example?
[18:29] <marcbiskup> I have an error message like this: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-mMG2oXIuuGI/UcMQyWIA-3I/AAAAAAAABAQ/_zRNHQX5CK8/w1021-h766-no/IMG_9779.JPG
[18:29] <Beanios> Ok, rebooted
[18:30] <Beanios> I can see the ubuntu machine on my windows machine
[18:30] <X-Sleepy-X> pagios: http://pastebin.com/ueyHtTap
[18:30] <Beanios> I can't open "Network Servers"
[18:31] <marcbiskup> any help? or is it just X-Sleepy-X helping? ;)
[18:31] <Beanios> I still can't connect to the windows network
[18:32] <cstewart> try and install apt-get install smbfs
[18:32] <Beanios> "Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out"
[18:32] <cstewart> Pagios I just added to your pastebin an example for you
[18:32] <Beanios> "Package smbfs has no installation candidate"
[18:33] <Beanios> I si t cifs-utils?
[18:33] <Beanios> Is it cifs-utils
[18:34] <X-Sleepy-X> Beanios: i use cifs-utils
[18:34] <cstewart> yes that would be the replacement in 13.04 sorry still sporting 12.04lts.....its mainly used for mounting smb and cifs shares
[18:34] <Beanios> Ah, ok, it's installing now
[18:34] <Beanios> Will I need to reboot after?
[18:34] <X-Sleepy-X> marcbiskup: when do you get that error and when did it begin?
[18:34] <cstewart> no and add this line as well to your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[18:35] <marcbiskup> some wekks ago. cannot reproduce it.
[18:35] <Beanios> I only recently install ubuntu 13.04 on my laptop, I have it on my server, but that always worked
[18:35] <X-Sleepy-X> marcbiskup: so it was a one time error?
[18:35] <cstewart> bellow where the workgroup is defined add the following "name resolve order = bcast host"
[18:35] <Beanios> Do I need to reboot?
[18:35] <marcbiskup> no, I got it several times.
[18:35] <Beanios> ok
[18:35] <X-Sleepy-X> marcbiskup: have you since then upgraded to a newer kernel?
[18:36] <marcbiskup> yes, I guess. Check this: http://pastebin.com/ZxjbBEDZ
[18:36] <marcbiskup> Oh, it's gone :/
[18:36] <Beanios> wait, what line?
[18:37] <marcbiskup> X-Sleepy-X: Wait a sec, I create a syslog
[18:37] <cstewart> you will need to add that line i provided bellow the workgroup = line
[18:37] <d4rkn30> I have a quick question, How can i remove grub from boot but keep lubuntu installed as i just installed grub onto a usb key
[18:37] <Beanios> oh, wow how did I not notice that :/
[18:38] <cstewart> then restart samba service sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[18:38] <Beanios> ok done
[18:38] <cstewart> Do we have a winner??? LOL

[18:40] <donvito> i just installed Nvidia accelerated drivers version 173, do i also need do install nvidia accelerated drivers post release 173-updates?
[18:41] <c-toast> Hi! I'm having a miserable time with an HP Win8 computer and Ubuntu 13. I installed a side by side and it refuses to dual boot. I disabled the Secure Boot, shut down and by sheer chance I hit the right combination of 'enter's in the UEFI to boot into Ubuntu - Finally. But it's still not dual booting without a ton of dancing around in the BIOS. I don't even know if this makes any sense. How can I make this a simple dual boot?
[18:41] <X-Sleepy-X> marcbiskup: looks like you have upgraded the kernel to the latest so that's probably why the error hasn't occured again...
[18:41] <budmang> ubottu: nice, ipmi is a bit specific but, Im just trying to setup ipmitool between 2 machines, I have the LANS setup, ARP from each machine shows they see eachother.
[18:41] <donvito> i just installed Nvidia accelerated drivers version 173, do i also need do install nvidia accelerated drivers post release 173-updates?
[18:41] <budmang> but I just cant seem to send any command via -l lan
[18:41] <Beanios> Could you help me with one more problem? Sound doesn't work at all.
[18:42] <Beanios> I found a command that fixes it temporarily, but I lost that command
[18:42] <marcbiskup> X-Sleepy-X: What does it mean then? I had the problem several times during the last weeks.
[18:42] <cstewart> Hmm that might be interesting and after you saying that I recall a friend with similar issues
[18:43] <cstewart> if you disable apparmor will sound work temporary until reboot
[18:43] <Danielc1234> hi all, trying to install varnish but getting this error. W: Failed to fetch http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release  Unable to find expected entry  varnish-3.0.4/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[18:43] <Danielc1234> any ideas?
[18:44] <X-Sleepy-X> marcbiskup: i'm not sure, haven't had many issues like that to learn from.
[18:44] <donvito> i just installed Nvidia accelerated drivers version 173, do i also need do install nvidia accelerated drivers post release 173-updates?
[18:44] <budmang> ipmitool or openipmi - doesnt seem to be listening on port 632
[18:44] <Beanios> how do I disable apparmour?
[18:45] <cstewart> just pulling up some notes one second...is this for pulse audio

[18:47] <rudolf_> hi all
[18:47] <chiluk> how do I turn off nautilus searching with 13.04?
[18:48] <chiluk> I want to launch nautilus and then be able to hit a letter like I used to.
[18:48] <rudolf_> What is the difference between wine and wine 1.4-i386 and which one should I install?
[18:48] <cstewart> To disable apparmor for pulse audio it should be the following command "sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd" "
[18:48] <cstewart> sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
[18:49] <DJT> hi, here is my pblm: libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
[18:49] <DJT> what is the best to do?
[18:49] <rudolf_> The first one is meta package. :|
[18:49] <aethelrick> rudolf_: the i386 version is 32bit
[18:49] <pagios> cstewart: X-Sleepy-X do i also run  /sbin/wpa_supplicant -iwlan4 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext ?
[18:50] <rudolf_> aethelrick, and what is a meta package?
[18:50] <cstewart> shouldn't need to just /etc/init.d/networking restart
[18:50] <aethelrick> rudolf_: just install "wine"
[18:50] <rudolf_> ok...thanks aethelrick
[18:50] <aethelrick> rudolf_: a META package… a a package that simply contains a list of packages it depends upon… i.e. it's just a list of stuff to install
[18:51] <rudolf_> oh..okies

[18:51] <niranjan> Hi there, I am on ubuntu 12.04. Have set up TOMBOY_PATH enviornment variable, but when I run tomboy using dash, its not picked up
[18:52] <niranjan> Variable is picked up when I run from terminal
[18:52] <DJT> no one for my problem
[18:52] <DJT> ?
[18:53] <wilee-nilee> DJT, More detals would probably help, as in the context.
[18:53] <wilee-nilee> details*
[18:53] <niranjan> So the main question is are variables defined in .bashrc picked up by ubuntu dash
[18:54] <Beanios> "Error: Could not read profile /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd: No such file or directory."  "sudo: /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin: command not found"
[18:54] <Danielc1234> getting this error when trying to install varnish. Any ideas? W: Failed to fetch http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release  Unable to find expected entry  varnish-3.0.4/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[18:54] <belgianguy> hi, is there something like cron that supports custom ranges?
[18:55] <belgianguy> I've looked at at, but that doesn't cover the case either
[18:55] <Danielc1234> using these commands
[18:55] <Danielc1234> curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/GPG-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
[18:55] <Danielc1234> echo "deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/ precise varnish-3.0" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:55] <Danielc1234> sudo apt-get update
[18:55] <Danielc1234> sudo apt-get install varnish
[18:55] <FloodBot1> Danielc1234: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:55] <Danielc1234> sorry
[18:55] <aethelrick> niranjan: put your variables in ~/.profile and log out and back in again
[18:55] <DJT> wilee-nilee, my programme can't find pthread_cancel
[18:56] <DJT> what is the best way to upgrade libgcc_s.so.1
[18:56] <DJT> ?
[18:56] <aethelrick> belgianguy: what do you mean "custom ranges" can you give an example
[18:56] <niranjan> aethelrick: machine is rebooted many times after setting the variable. I see .profile calling .bashrc
[18:56] <niranjan> Is that not taking effect?
[18:57] <niranjan> This is defautl .profile
[18:57] <belgianguy> aethelrick: eg a 2 week holiday that changes each year, I don't want it to run then
[18:57] <aethelrick> niranjan: if you open  terminal and type export, can you see your variable set ??
[18:57] <niranjan> yes
[18:57] <DJT> i do the same (upgrade apt
[18:58] <Stripe> hi all having probs with 12.04 copying files from an internal ntfs backup drive, any ideas?
[18:58] <johnjohn101> i saw an article about 64 bit steam for linux. how soon should it be available for ubuntu?
[18:58] <niranjan> If memory serves right, variables are exported only if you source it, is that right?
[18:59] <niranjan> I mean if variables are set in another script and you just execute that script
[18:59] <X-Sleepy-X> DJT: dpkg -S libgcc_s.so.1
[18:59] <X-Sleepy-X> DJT: apt-cache search libgcc1
[19:00] <belgianguy> aethelrick: the easiest analogue would be a school bell, which doesn't sound on Wednesday afternoon, and not in the weekend or when it's a holiday
[19:00] <aethelrick> belgianguy: easiest thing might be to wrap your task in a script and execute that daily, then inside the script bail out if the days falls within the excluded period
[19:00] <belgianguy> aethelrick: yeah, that was what I was thinking, any scripting language you'd recommend?
[19:01] <Noize> hello
[19:01] <Noize> I have an issue with my bluetooth
[19:01] <belgianguy> aethelrick: I was thinking of bash in combination with php, (the php part is because I'll need a web front end anyway)
[19:01] <Noize> i recently used sixad/sixpair to connect my ps3 controller to my nexus 4... now i cannot use bluetooth on my computer
[19:02] <Noize> any suggestions? The bluetooth manager doesn't recognize my bluetooth anymore
[19:02] <rudolf_> What do I do after saving the package download script from synaptics?
[19:02] <aethelrick> belgianguy: if you're working in PHP you may as well do it all in there
[19:02] <rudolf_> I jst have to run it ?
[19:02] <cstewart> Back a few lbs lighter ....how you guys making out
[19:02] <Beanios> I think I fixed it with sudo alsa force-reload
[19:02] <Beanios> thanks for your help
[19:03] <cstewart> yea i know in the pass apparmor has been the culprit to check
[19:03] <belgianguy> aethelrick: yeah, but I don't know how to start mplayer from within php (and system calls feel a bit uncleanà
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> rudolf_, synaptic s a installer, are you sure you have not already run it?
[19:03] <Beanios> yeah
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> is*
[19:03] <Beanios> thanks, cstewart!
[19:03] <donvito> i just installed Nvidia accelerated drivers version 173, do i also need do install nvidia accelerated drivers post release 173-updates?
[19:03] <aethelrick> belgianguy: ust put your commands in `back ticks` they will be executed
[19:04] <kostkon> donvito, that package will keep your nvidia driver more up-to-date
[19:04] <belgianguy> aethelrick: could you explain about the backticks?
[19:05] <nnyk_> `ls`
[19:05] <rudolf_> wilee-nilee, I want to download on other computer. So I generated the download script. What do I do next?
[19:05] <aethelrick> belgianguy: the back ticks are the `quotes` I used here around quotes. PHP will shell execute anything in them
[19:07] <rudolf_> wilee-nilee, there are several .deb files to download as written in the script. Whic one should i open first after download? I mean what i really have to do after downloading them all??
[19:08] <wilee-nilee> rudolf_, Thanks for your additional information, I have no idea what you are doing, using synaptic this way I have never seen.
[19:09] <angs> which one  has better performance on a computer that has a bad graphic card: ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu?
[19:09] <rudolf_> wilee-nilee, there is option in the file menu called "generate package download script".
[19:09] <iceroot> angs: xubuntu and lubuntu should be the same for the vga
[19:09] <angs> I will use it to develop a GUI on eclipse, does it matter what distro (ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu) I am using ?
[19:09] <aethelrick> rudolf_: do you have a bandwidth problem? it's easier to just install on other machine using synaptic isn't it?
[19:10] <iceroot> angs: no it doesnt matter
[19:10] <angs> iceroot, which one do you suggest me to install?
[19:10] <rudolf_> aethelrick, yeah i have a bandwidth prob and I want to download the softwares on other pc and then install them on mine.
[19:10] <iceroot> angs: you can use all the ubuntu software on kubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu and xubuntu. everything is availalbe for all versions
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> rudolf_,  True, however that just pulls in packages and installs them I believe, so the computer you are doing this for has this access already or at least must to run it
[19:11] <iceroot> angs: the one you like most, all are fine. maybe have a look with a live-cd which gui you prefer
[19:11] <angs> thank you iceroot
[19:11] <rudolf_> wilee-nilee, i have a bandwidth prob and I want to download the softwares on other pc and then install them on mine.
[19:11] <rudolf_> Wilee-nilee, now what should i do?
[19:11] <belgianguy> there's a spammer on the channel I think
[19:12] <X-Sleepy-X> rudolf_: copy the already downloaded .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives (or where they resolve) to the other computer and then install via synaptics
[19:12] <iceroot> angs: no problem, you are welcome
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> rudolf_, The problem here is this is a vague description, for example how many packages, how many apps...etc, honestly I'm not your best help here.
[19:13] <Noize> Could anyone help me with my bluetooth issue?
[19:13] <rudolf_> hmm...ok...I will be back after downloading them all.
[19:13] <Duran_Adam> selam
[19:14] <wilee-nilee> !ask | Noize
[19:14] <X-Sleepy-X> rudolf_: i mean, they get downloaded to that path when you install them, so then you can use them again, either on the same computer or another.
[19:14] <lauren> hey everyone
[19:15] <Noize> wilee-nilee i did nobody responded :P
[19:15] <lauren> I was just wondering if someone could give me some pointers on ubuntu 13.04  and video playback
[19:15] <aethelrick> rudolf_: have a look at this… http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1900550
[19:15] <Noize> My bluetooth will not work after pairing my ps3 controller to my N4
[19:15] <Noize> i used sixad and sixpair to pair the 2 together, now bluetooth on my computer won't work at all
[19:16] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: please specify further
[19:16] <wilee-nilee> Noize, If someone knows they will probably answer, it takes awhile sometimes is all.
[19:16] <Daughain> Morning, all.
[19:17] <X-Sleepy-X> Daughain: Good evening... :)
[19:17] <Daughain> How goes the day, X-Sleepy-X ?
[19:17] <stevechch> #ubuntu-server
[19:17] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, well I have a toshiba laptop that is new, 64bit with 4gb ram and radeon gfx, I have 13.04 installed wiping out W8 and I have done all updates and swappiness adjustment but in chromium, youtube video playback on fullscreen is super choppy and in system monitor it shows both cores at like 99%, I dont understand why the load would be so great
[19:18]  * X-Sleepy-X wonders who that someone/anybody/nobody is which everyone mentions
[19:18] <rudolf_> aethelrick, yeah thats what i wanted..thanks :)
[19:19] <aethelrick> lauren: have you installed the AMD drivers for your video card?
[19:19] <X-Sleepy-X> Daughain: Good, can't complain. How about you?
[19:19] <sjbnz> Fun. Back on-line.
[19:19] <lauren> aethelrick, yes
[19:19] <lauren> aethelrick, using the proprietary, they seem to work well, HL2 on steam runs okay
[19:19] <Daughain> X-Sleepy-X, well, once the battery dies, hopefully it will be better. Trying to sort out the battery on the laptop.
[19:20] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: is it the same with firefox?
[19:20] <benedikt> installed with mini.iso. Do i need to enable TRIM support for my ssd manually?
[19:20] <sjbnz> mtr say worst is 9.0 - avg is 0.5 (on the same segment, so should be fast)
[19:20] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, good point let me check
[19:20] <X-Sleepy-X> benedikt: do you have ext4? if so, add discard in /etc/fstab
[19:21] <benedikt> X-Sleepy-X: i have
[19:22] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, yes it almost seems a little worse in firefox.. I just dont get why flash video playback would be so hard on the cpu
[19:22] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, I mean I have 4gb ram
[19:22] <X-Sleepy-X> benedikt: good, just add discard before errors=remount like: UUID=45cc6449-c2a1-4320-b1bc-9d57575dce39 /               ext4    defaults,discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[19:22] <Daughain> X-Sleepy-X, The system has been showing 1 min remaining for ten min now. =) Trying to get it calibrated.
[19:22] <benedikt> X-Sleepy-X: got it the first time :P
[19:24] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: and you have installed adobe-flashplugin ?
[19:24] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, I dont know, I assumed so because it plays the flash?
[19:25] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: what do you find in about:plugins in firefox?
[19:25] <dcope> was the unrar package removes?
[19:26] <X-Sleepy-X> Daughain: I think my system does the same sometimes. I choosed to ignore it.
[19:26] <dcope> why is apt-get not finding this? http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/unrar
[19:26] <X-Sleepy-X> benedikt: :) good
[19:27] <sjbnz> Well, my main concern was that the latest updates for 12.04LTS had introduced NFS bugs...
[19:27] <trism> dcope: do you have universe enabled? have you run apt-get update yet?
[19:27] <DJones> dcope: Lucid is end of life, so the repo's have probably been removed
[19:27] <dcope> trism: yes, i've run apt-get update
[19:27] <DJones> !eol | dcope
[19:28] <benedikt> i set up LVM with a minimal space to then add "partitions" (volume groups?) after install (the ncurses installer suggested it). What now?
[19:28] <dcope> hm
[19:28] <steve__> Can Ubuntu help me get a girlfriend?
[19:28] <sjbnz> ...sounds like that's not the case, so maybe ist the NFS on the i5/AS400.
[19:28] <DJones> steve__: No, you probably you need to look in a different channel on a different network
[19:28] <Daughain> X-Sleepy-X, Since this laptop is 7 years old, I ned to know if the battery works, and for how long. =) Need to know if I need to buy a new one.
[19:28] <steve__> DJones: Thanks for the quick reply. :-P
[19:29] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, checking
[19:29] <X-Sleepy-X> Daughain: i would guess that a battery that old isn't in it's best condition
[19:29] <DJones> dcope: Is it server or desktop, just looking, server is still supported, so not sure why it wouldn't find it
[19:30] <Daughain> X-Sleepy-X, My assumption as well.
[19:30] <X-Sleepy-X> dcope: do you have the multiverse pool?
[19:31] <Noize> When i attempt to start bluetooth as a service it tells me "start: Job failed to start"
[19:31] <cyan0hack> Hi all, I need an advice. I need to run an instance of mongoDB on a server with Ubuntu 12.10 every time the server is restarted. The support team of the hosted server told me that I need to create a watchdog script that runs on cron.
[19:31] <DJones> X-Sleepy-X: He's dropped out of the channel
[19:31] <Danielc1234> Need some help, Trying to install Varnish but Ubuntu is giving me this error... W: Failed to fetch http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release  Unable to find expected entry  varnish-3.0.4/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[19:31] <Danielc1234> can someone tell me whats up
[19:31] <fungus058> hello
[19:32] <bekks> cyan0hack: All you need is a startup script for upstart.
[19:32] <benedikt> Danielc1234: the file you requested isnt there. try updating your cache with "apt-get update"
[19:32] <X-Sleepy-X> DJones: whoops... :)
[19:32] <fungus058> blah is there no end to the intel 855gm problems?
[19:32] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, under Shockwave Flash it has x-shockwave-flash and futuresplash
[19:32] <Danielc1234> yes, that is when I get that error.
[19:32] <cyan0hack> beaks, can you advice me a guide or tutorial to make this script?
[19:32] <fungus058> video plays in blue and green half size
[19:32] <cyan0hack> bekks*
[19:32] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, and btw I appreciate your help
[19:33] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: and above it says "Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202" ?
[19:33] <bekks> cyan0hack: Never needed to do it on my own.
[19:33] <bekks> !upstart | cyan0hack
[19:33] <fungus058> banners on websites youtube...
[19:33] <Danielc1234> benedikt it also says it may have uploaded an older version of the file, but wanted to make sure I'm not going to screw anything up when I do a apt-get install varnish.
[19:33] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, yes it says that
[19:33] <cyan0hack> thank you guys
[19:34] <fungus058> i keep getting told do thid do that all needing a bunch of code to no avail... i have lubuntu 13.04 all i want is a light fuctional system to watch movies on
[19:34] <Daughain> Hey, does anyone know which exchange server will work with Evolution?
[19:34] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: what's the output of "lspci | grep VGA" without the quotes?
[19:35] <DJT> X-Sleepy-X, it works better but not at all
[19:35] <fungus058> used to play everquest on this com no problems and now with ubuntu im screwed and cant even watch a you tube video
[19:35] <X-Sleepy-X> DJT: how can it work better but not at all at the same time?
[19:36] <readyjar> Any idea how to send a shift + delete into the terminal?
[19:36] <fungus058> anyone out there with an 855gm chipset? (apparently not very uncommon)
[19:36] <readyjar> Through an ssh session
[19:36] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, I am about to run that command, on a side not tho I also have Minitube installed and it plays fullscreen flawlessly, like absolutely perfect, let me get u that output
[19:36] <readyjar> Shift backspace to be specific
[19:37] <leo-the-manic> Are repos different for different versions of Ubuntu? Like if I upgrade from 12.04 to 13.xx can I download a newer version of VirtualBox?
[19:37] <bekks> readyjar: Whats is that combination supposed to do in a terminal?
[19:37] <bekks> leo-the-manic: Yes.
[19:37] <jrib> leo-the-manic: repos are different
[19:37] <bekks> leo-the-manic: For vbox, use the official version from the official vbox website.
[19:37] <readyjar> bekks: Supposed to delete. Brocade switches use shift backspace to delete
[19:37] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 7310]
[19:38] <bekks> readyjar: To delete what?
[19:38] <glyn> hello a nooobi here. wats occuring
[19:38] <leo-the-manic> bekks: Is there a way to browse the repo for Ubuntu 13 online?
[19:38] <bekks> readyjar: I'm working daily with Brocade SAN switches.
[19:38] <readyjar> bekks: What I was typing. It's to backspace
[19:38] <wilee-nilee> fungus058, Spreading your comments around rather then in one line makes it hard to follow you, gve details of what you have actually done, not to me but the channel.
[19:38] <bekks> readyjar: At least on a SAN switch, backspace works like a charm.
[19:38] <DJT> X-Sleepy-X, it's hard to explain, i design a game whose working with sdl threads
[19:39] <bekks> leo-the-manic: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:39] <readyjar> bekks: We have several Brocade FSG and FWS, and a few VDX
[19:39] <readyjar> bekks: Backspace does not work on those. They use shift backspace for some reason
[19:39] <readyjar> Well it might on the VDX. I'm hardly messing with those
[19:39] <glyn> wat u guys chatting bout?
[19:39] <DJT> that's now harder to make it bug, but it happends yet
[19:40] <DJones> !support | glyn
[19:40] <readyjar> But yea, if there is a way to send a shift backspace through an ssh session that would be awesome
[19:40] <wilee-nilee> glyn, This is support not chat, if you have a problem state it to the channel.
[19:40] <fungus058> anyone know how to get the drivers for intel 855gm
[19:40] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, even though minitube plays videos well it is sort of limited and I wanted in-browser support to be good as well for when I watch vids embedded on my fav websites
[19:41] <glyn> try google fungus
[19:41] <fungus058> been doing that for a week
[19:41] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: have you installed any drivers for the radeon card?
[19:41] <fungus058> me?
[19:41] <glyn> wat bout intel official website
[19:41] <lauren> X-Sleepy-X, yes proprietary with AMD catalyst center, it runs half life 2 pretty well
[19:42] <fungus058> doesnt work... goes to 90% 404 not found reverting back
[19:42] <fungus058> but i have intel 855gm why would i download radeon?
[19:43] <Hadi> hi, where can I get crypto-utils for ubuntu?
[19:43] <glyn> is raedon for scsi drives?
[19:43] <glyn> try google hadi
[19:43] <readyjar> SO basically I need to see what the terminal actually generates during a shift backspace
[19:43] <Hadi> glyn: I tried Google, hence asking here
[19:44] <DJones> !google | glyn
[19:44] <wilee-nilee> glyn, Telling people to just google is against channel policy.
[19:44] <fungus058> thank u
[19:44] <Hadi> I didn't find anything on Google anyway
[19:44] <fungus058> i was biting my tongue
[19:44] <glyn> um go into applications on start bar then click ubuntu software center n search there
[19:45] <fungus058> ive literally been stuck for a week with an os i cant use
[19:45] <Hadi> glyn: there is no package called crypto-utils on any repository
[19:45] <Hadi> I thought it might be called something else. or I can just compile it?
[19:45] <DJones> !find crypto-utils
[19:45] <fungus058> havent slept... simply cannot get video card working properly
[19:45] <glyn> ah ok. just as well cant use crypto stuff in uk
[19:46] <fungus058> been googling like a mad man been in these forums and just cant get it working
[19:46] <DJones> Hadi: I think the bot answered that question, doesn't look like its available as a default package
[19:46] <gordonjcp> glyn: you can't?  News to me...
[19:46] <fungus058> why can u?
[19:46] <Hadi> DJones: is there any easier way other than openssl?
[19:46] <readyjar> Actually I think it may be how ssh is handling shift backspace, and not an issue with the terminal
[19:46] <glyn> dont u just hate oppresive governments
[19:47] <gordonjcp> glyn: fortunately, I live in the UK so I don't have one
[19:47] <DJones> Hadi: Sorry, I'd not heard of it before, maybe somebody else will know
[19:47] <gordonjcp> glyn: encryption is legal here, unlike the US
[19:47] <DJones> !find crypto-util
[19:48] <glyn> well not if the bloody tories n other gov has n e thing to do with it tbh
[19:48] <gordonjcp> glyn: what are you trying to encrypt?
[19:48] <glyn> the whole hdd
[19:48] <DJones> Hadi: Maybe have a look at those two packages that ubottu just found, maybe one of those is what you're looking for
[19:48] <wilee-nilee> Hadi,  don't see it in the repos or any debs on line, but availability for a handful of other linux like fedora, redhat, debian...etc, it may take compiling or a conversion from a rpm, not sure really.
[19:48] <Jawisarow> Use truecrypt
[19:49] <Jawisarow> Or bitcrypt
[19:49] <readyjar> bekks: ctrl + h will backspace how it should. That's annoying though. Know of a way to use plain backspace, or shift backspace?
[19:49] <fungus058> ...
[19:49] <fungus058> anyone with info on intel 855 drivers
[19:50] <ubuntivity> Hello, I've got a physical problem with my monitor! how/where can I get help over irc?
[19:50] <glyn> ya ill dwn load it now n have a fiddle
[19:50] <X-Sleepy-X> lauren: i've googled around but haven't found anything useful. all i can think of is that you could perhaps try to change some settings in catalyst. try to run unity in 2d. try to experiment with xorg.conf and some "greedy" settings. but i can't say if it will help
[19:50] <wilee-nilee> ubuntivity, ##hardware  maybe
[19:51] <ubuntivity> I'll check that
[19:52] <glyn> why cant i get vidalia n tork to work on my wirless internet connection

[19:53] <DeathJesterUK> Hey all, I am having a really big issue trying to get this OS installed on my PC. The OS runs fine from the Live CD, but, when I install it to the SSD, I have issues. At first it looks fine, then, when I open up a program, the program window freezes. I cant close it, operate it or anything, but the rest of the OS works fine.
[19:53] <glyn> there is fungi
