[16:21] <tiger> @litropy i needed a help..my system is hanging some time
[16:21] <litropy> tiger, let it crunch
[16:21] <L3top> AssociateX: the 173 is the only driver from nvidia you can use.
[16:21] <tiger> what it mean?
[16:22] <AssociateX> L3top, ok, I'll do that
[16:22] <dudol> Pici, and how about if I want to know about how many bits it is addressing?
[16:22] <krabador> hi people, i've a Radeon 9600 Pro, and in ubuntu 12.04 i can't install the latest amd drivers available for this card by amd. is the driver inside the os, good enough for my videocard or i must use an os with the support for the latest amd driver?
[16:22] <L3top> krabador: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:23] <Pici> dudol: arch will show you if you're running 32bits (i686) or 64 (x86_64)
[16:25] <litropy> tiger, I think with apt-get it's "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" ... peeps, what's the equivalent for "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" ?
[16:25] <tiger> i am root in ubuntu
[16:25] <dudol> Pici, arch?
[16:26] <litropy> tiger, that's not safe but right on just take outsudo in my commands
[16:26] <raphaelle> Hello @ll, can someone tell me what could be changed to avoid this message on windows partition access (dual boot Lubuntu) : "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened."
[16:26] <Pici> dudol: 'arch' is the command.
[16:26] <tiger> i know root does not safe but i need to work on root
[16:26] <root> tiger: agree
[16:27] <dudol> Pici, thanx a lot! ;)
[16:27] <tiger> linux mean freedom so i bielive in work a freedom..but who not familiar with linux they must user nonroot user
[16:27] <root> tiger: like ubuntu?
[16:27] <krabador> L3top, i've "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] [1002:4150]"
[16:27] <root> tiger: disabled root...
[16:27] <tiger> yeah i like ubntu
[16:28] <steve973> hello.  is it possible to masquerade without dnsmasq or something along those lines?
[16:28] <tiger> no bro i need root
[16:28] <steve973> tiger: su bash
[16:28] <tiger> i am tired form sudo
[16:28] <steve973> er
[16:28] <tiger> i dont want to type sudo
[16:28] <steve973> sudo bash
[16:28] <L3top> krabador: You cannot use any proprietary ATI (fglrx) driver. You can only use the radeon.
[16:28] <root> tiger: ok,actuly I am in root
[16:29] <root> tiger: :D
[16:29] <tiger> yeah mee too in root
[16:29] <steve973> tiger, you can start a root shell by typing sudo bash
[16:29] <LjL> tiger: type "sudo -i" once, stay root as long as you want. of course you're free to do what you want, but we're free not to support it.
[16:29] <litropy> tiger, are you still hanging?
[16:29] <krabador> L3top, yes, i know that the latest amd driver for this card isn't supported
[16:29] <sasser> tiger,  just type sudo su
[16:29] <sasser> then the password
[16:29] <AssociateX> L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1064596/
[16:29] <tiger> yah hanging coz of some unwanted software
[16:29] <steve973> so can i masquerade without dnsmasq?
[16:29] <tiger> it was hanging in non root user too
[16:30] <sasser> after that, you may write all the commands without starting with sudo
[16:30] <L3top> krabador: the last 5 or so iterations of the driver does not support your card. The latest one dropped support for about 10000 other cards.
[16:30] <root> Have anyone told me how to modify my name here?
[16:30] <litropy> tiger, after apt-get update just "apt-get dist-upgrade" ... it's further from aptitude safe-upgrade, but it does what needs to be done.
[16:30] <LjL> root: /nick newname
[16:30] <litropy> then update-manager -d
[16:30] <tiger> no now i dont want to upgrade you scared me
[16:30] <dulio> litropy: 3q
[16:31] <krabador> L3top, but it seems the radeon drivers i've in the 12.04 isn't properly optimised...
[16:31] <tiger> 12.10 might start dancing
[16:31] <shanth> how to configure sound.. i 've problem with artistX Linux
[16:31] <litropy> dulio, ?
[16:31] <drmahalo> so... I ran "sudo apt-get purge ruby*" thinking that only ruby packages would be selected for removal... after I hit "Y" I noticed that apt-get is "Purging configuration files for grub-pc ..." and purging grub-common
[16:31] <krabador> L3top, it seems lile generic driver
[16:31] <drmahalo> what should I do in this situation?
[16:31] <dulio> litropy: just thanks~
[16:31] <litropy> tiger, that's probably a good idea. Just be happy with 12.04 for now - it's nice.
[16:31] <tiger> yeah..i must..
[16:32] <shanth> how to configure sound.. i 've problem with artistX Linux
[16:32] <litropy> dulio, lol I don't even remember helping you
[16:32] <L3top> krabador: it is the generic open source driver. ATI dropped support for your card a few years ago, and doesn't care. Please write them a letter.
[16:32] <tiger> dulio is root
[16:32] <dulio> litropy: sorry...that is LjL
[16:32] <litropy> don't remember helping root either lol but right on
[16:32] <dulio> litropy: a little mistake...
[16:32] <litropy> dulio, ah
[16:32] <tiger> litropy where are you from?
[16:32] <litropy> tiger, the Internet
[16:33] <drmahalo> should I just run apt-get install grub-pc grub-common?
[16:33] <tiger> hahahha me tooo
[16:33] <dulio> you can tell us which OS you are in
[16:33] <tiger> who dulio?
[16:33] <rrrr_> How do I uninstall an unfinished installed application?
[16:33] <drmahalo> I'm in lucid
[16:33] <L3top> krabador: all in all it is a decent driver really... you may have to tweak some things. Read here for more http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_r500_legacy&num=1  about the that decision.
[16:33] <tiger> apt-get rmeove application
[16:34] <drmahalo> dulio: lucid
[16:34] <dulio> I'm in arch......but passby
[16:34] <L3top> krabador: Do not expect "good" performance from it though.
[16:34] <litropy> drmahalo, yes. "purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too)." So you're going to have to pay attention to grub config as well. It should run upon install.
[16:34] <L3top> checking AssociateX.
[16:34] <AssociateX> ty
[16:35] <shanth> how to setup sound .. i've problem with ArtistX linux
[16:35] <tiger> what problem shanth?
[16:35] <tiger> sound not coming?
[16:35] <shanth> i'm not getting sound..
[16:35] <tiger> ubuntu 12.04
[16:35] <phil> dudes. Can certain themes decrease the performance?
[16:35] <Psi-Jack> shanth: Well, ArtistX isn't Ubuntu.
[16:35] <shanth> ubuntu  11.10
[16:35] <tiger> in terminal type sudo pulseaudio
[16:36] <litropy> shanth, I'm trying to find the chan for you. That's an uncommon sound dist 'round these parts
[16:36] <dulio> maybe alsamixer..
[16:36] <n1ckn4me09876543> I've installed Ubuntu and enable NVIDIA [recommended] graphics card in Additional Drivers, but I can only use Unity 2D, how can I use Unity 3D ?
[16:36] <L3top> AssociateX: that is a real problem. apt-cache depends nivida-173  reveals   Depends: <xorg-video-abi-10>   apt-cache policy xorg-video-abi-10 reveals Candidate: (none)              I will see if I can figure out why this happened... but it definitely leaves you in a bit of a spot. I am sure you can manually install it but... weird.
[16:37] <AssociateX> L3top, I wonder if there is another package that gives xorg-video-abi-10?
[16:38] <shanth> alsa not detects my sound card
[16:38] <litropy> shanth, looks like google and their forum http://www.artistx.org/site3/Forum/ is all you got, and yes, "/join #alsamixer" might help with that dist, or they could point ya in the right direction.
[16:38] <joseoo> Hi, I have been able to mount to my nas using nfs I am able to read but no access to writing, any suggestions on changinig permissions to write?
[16:38] <L3top> AssociateX: if it were part of the xserver-xorg-video-all package (where those guys typically live) you would already have it. I will look into whats going on
[16:38] <AssociateX> L3top, thank you
[16:39] <_Ethan_> i see using man and help  that sometimes you can write "command -h" or "command --help" , why such a difference ????
[16:39] <dulio> _Ethan_: just depend on coders
[16:40] <_Ethan_> but i see this everytime
[16:40] <litropy> _Ethan_, it's just dependant upon whomever writes the program. Prety sure --help is more prominent that -h.
[16:40] <_Ethan_> any justification ?
[16:40] <unsecur3d> abbreviations
[16:40] <raphaelle>  can someone tell me what could be changed to avoid this message on windows partition access through PCManFM ? (dual boot Lubuntu) : "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened." This is my fstab line : UUID="7A40B19440B15799"	/media/HDD	ntfs-3g 	rw,user,auto,gid=100,uid=1000,nls=utf8,umask=002,exec	0	0
[16:40] <unsecur3d> nothing special to it
[16:40] <_Ethan_> ok
[16:40] <_Ethan_> thanks
[16:40] <_Ethan_> you note im a newbie eh ^_ ^
[16:40] <dulio> _Ethan_: maybe rule can help
[16:40] <unsecur3d> me too, i just know a little bit more than you do
[16:40] <L3top> AssociateX: this is a recent change btw... a month or so ago this was working... reading bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/941325
[16:41] <_Ethan_> im reading this
[16:41] <_Ethan_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[16:41] <unsecur3d> :) still working on school so just learning as i wake up :D
[16:41] <_Ethan_> that's cool unsecur3d
[16:41] <unsecur3d> good on u, keep that going
[16:41] <unsecur3d> im working on my CompTIA A+ and my Associate's for Inf. Sys. Administration
[16:41] <litropy> _Ethan_, Programmers who want to make their prog easier to use usually implement shorthand options: -h = --help and so on.
[16:41] <unsecur3d> This channel should be useful :D
[16:42] <_Ethan_> litropy,  ok, i have seen both options in the same programm
[16:42] <_Ethan_> yes, it make sense now :)
[16:43] <Psi-Jack> unsecur3d: Yeah, good luck with that. A+ certs expire every 3 years now making it practically worthless.
[16:43] <dulio> _Ethan_: are you programmer?
[16:43] <Psi-Jack> unsecur3d: Especially since the A+ covers more Windows than what it was originally intended for, hardware.
[16:43] <raphaelle> Hello @ll,  can someone tell me what could be changed to avoid this message on windows partition access through PCManFM ?

[16:43] <dulio> _Ethan_: future?
[16:44] <_Ethan_> dulio,
[16:44] <unsecur3d> Psi-Jack i really only need it for a few months, next summer i graduate college so i could work with that
[16:44] <unsecur3d> i just need a descent paying job while in school
[16:44] <_Ethan_> dulio,  id say i have experience with matlab programming, and i just know c and c++, as well as vhdl
[16:45] <unsecur3d> got 2 kids, and go to school online, not trying to work a 12 hour factory position
[16:45] <unsecur3d> c++ nice :)
[16:45] <litropy> raphaelle, try "/join #lxde"
[16:45] <_Ethan_> but i have to learn a lot yet, specially the structure of linux systems and how to use cmake and so on...
[16:45] <unsecur3d> ah
[16:45] <dulio> _Ethan_: yeah,I have experience with c/java, and now work on php
[16:45] <unsecur3d> so u trying to start coding for linux
[16:45] <_Ethan_> also i did some python
[16:45] <litropy> raphaelle, since PCMan is, "The default file manager for the lightweight desktop environment, LXDE"
[16:45] <_Ethan_> that's nice dulio
[16:46] <_Ethan_> unsecur3d,  im trying to get skills with linux :)
[16:46] <dulio> _Ethan_: python is good, python will be my primary language maybe
[16:46] <_Ethan_> seems to be easy yes
[16:46] <_Ethan_> or well, simple in sintax
[16:47] <AssociateX> L3top, I'm reading that I'm not the only person having this problem.
[16:47] <dulio> _Ethan_: yeah,simgle,but many talented programmers use it
[16:48] <_Ethan_> of course
[16:48] <_Ethan_> :)
[16:48] <L3top> yeah... AssociateX... it is a virtual package that is supposed to be provided by xserver-xorg-core, but isn't anymore for some reason. Looking into why.
[16:48] <AssociateX> ty
[16:48] <_Ethan_> id say i learnt c++ when building guides with Qt dulio
[16:49] <dulio> _Ethan_: Wa,Qt~
[16:49] <_Ethan_> ?
[16:50] <_Ethan_> u mean what is qt ?
[16:50] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12?
[16:50] <litropy> Peeps, how much of my system can I back up before I wipe and reinstall 64-bit? I'd love to keep as many programs and configs as I can ... but I understand that's kinda like saying, "I'm getting a new car, and I wan to keep as many engine parts of my old car as I can."
[16:51] <dulio> _Ethan_: I know qt,but know little
[16:52] <drmahalo> kind of afraid to reboot now
[16:52] <_Ethan_> oh ok
[16:52] <litropy> I think I'd have hours of reconfiguration to do if I just backed up /home , wiped, then reinstalled.
[16:52] <_Ethan_> dulio it is not as hard as it seems at the beginning ;)
[16:52] <_Ethan_> and there are plugins for programming in python
[16:52] <artie> how do I export the text on the screen as the result of an error during a tty session??

[16:57] <guntbert> r00t__: I don't know, but look at the end of what ubottu had to say too
[16:57] <aristidesfl> I've got an old  machine with persistent iptable rules, but I don't remember where I've placed the script which is setting them. How can I find it?
[16:57] <asoltys> hi, i don't see anything to do with iptables in /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/network/if-pre-up.d yet i seem to have some rules created on startup.  i want to edit them. where else might they be coming from? i'm on maverick.
[16:58] <aristidesfl> asoltys you have the same problem I do :)
[16:58] <_Ethan_> oki dulio , good luck
[16:59] <asoltys> oh wow, just read that, crazy
[16:59] <litropy> What do you guys think this guy did with "disk resizing tools" to go from, "from 32bit 10.10 to 64bit 10.10 last month, without losing any data." ? (See comment, below paragraph, with 4 upvotes): http://superuser.com/questions/129222/upgrade-ubuntu-from-32-to-64-bit-edition
[16:59] <jjdash> hi

[16:59] <jjdash> is this a known issue?
[16:59] <L3top> AssociateX: it appears that the new version of xorg has created a problem which nvidia cannot be bothered to fix for precise, though oddly there is a fix in quantal nvidia-graphics-drivers-173.  You have three options as I see it... you can downgrade xorg and install the current driver from nvidia (I would do so in reverse order to make sure that downgrade is requred, cause it is gonna be a pain), try and find a third party repo like x-
[16:59] <L3top> swat or xedgers which has something that works in precise... or just try and hit up debian threads for some workarounds.
[17:00] <asoltys> oCean: thank you!
[17:00] <jjdash> How to solve this? I use hotkeys for different desktops really often, so it's really annoying

[17:25] <T3X> MonkeyDust: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD is there anything showing 3TB drive?
[17:25] <SolarAquarion> arooni-mobile check if modprobing probing your sound driver would fix your problem
[17:25] <i7c> arooni-mobile: you can try killall pulseaudio    it's supposed to restart immediately
[17:25] <L3top> SolarAquarion: can you apt-get remove lcdproc ?
[17:25] <r3dLunchb0x_> thank you auronandace
[17:25] <diverdude> thx
[17:25] <r3dLunchb0x_> thank you ubotto
[17:25] <diverdude> vlc works great it seems :)
[17:26] <SolarAquarion> yes I can
[17:26] <wotwotslayer> @diverdude, how
[17:26] <WorkingTaco> litropy: thanks again
[17:26] <wotwotslayer> is the vsync?
[17:26] <w3bg33k> how can I run fsck from the initramfs prompt?
[17:26] <litropy> diverdude, sox is an audio file converter and an audio file player. I recommend you man sox once you install it - it's a nice app. Anyhow, once installed, all you have to do is "play /path/to/file.m3u"
[17:26] <SolarAquarion> it works thnaks l3top
[17:27] <L3top> np... I would apt-get autoclean, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
[17:27] <L3top> SolarAquarion: ^
[17:27] <diverdude> litropy: thx :)
[17:28] <wotwotslayer> is there anyway to disable to menubar in nautilus?
[17:28] <arooni-mobile> ubuntu sync deamon seems horribly written;  it takes up 112%  of my cpu when i'm not changing any files.  is there a way to fix it or will is imply uninstall it?
[17:29] <wotwotslayer> i uninstalled it, it's broken and it aint getting fixed
[17:29] <itaws> hi frnds i am not able to understand how wine works and how to install a app using it ?
[17:29] <arooni-mobile> wotwotslayer, whats broken?  menubar or ubuntu one
[17:30] <superuser> is there a command for to change computer name
[17:30] <quixotedon> !wine| itaws
[17:30] <compdoc> superuser, hostname, I think
[17:30] <litropy> diverdude, lol why didn't I think of vlc lol
[17:30] <litropy> diverdude, happy listening
[17:30] <superuser> thank you
[17:31] <wotwotslayer> arooni-mobile, actually I can't remember what the daemon it was, but it hogged the HD indexing files or something, not acceptable. I recommended to uninstall the daemon but got banned for that in ubuntu forums or what ever. Now I'm thinking about disabling the nautilus menu bar in gnome shell if it matters.
[17:32] <arooni-mobile> wotwotslayer, im ditching ubuntu one; its a huge resource hog
[17:32] <arooni-mobile> i will use dropbox instead
[17:32] <itaws> thanks <ubottu> but sometime it fails to install and i doesnot work well ?
[17:33] <quixotedon> itaws: join #winehq for application help
[17:33] <diverdude> litropy: thx hehe
[17:33] <L3top> itaws: it depends on the application... you should... yeah what quixotedon said. Also check the !AppDB
[17:34] <wotwotslayer> arooni-mobile, it crossed my mind to use dropbox too, a couple of days ago I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and my ftp server stopped working...
[17:34] <itaws> ok frnd i will try to overcome this problem !
[17:34] <SocialEvil> guys i have ubuntu 10.04 and skype 4.0 and when i make conversation and the other girl turn on her camera i can see her but when i turn on mine.. there is this constant glitch any idea how to fix it ? i see this in my terminal libv4l2: error allocating conversion buffer
[17:35] <JW_> Hi, can someone help me with an atd configuration question?
[17:35] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: Sounds like your camera is not supported properly.
[17:35] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12? FOR YOUR INFROMATIO NON OF fdisk -l and parted or nbkid SHOW ANY INFORMATION FOR MY 3TB HARD DRIVE. THANKS
[17:35] <Psi-Jack> T3X: Please turn off your CAPSLOCK key
[17:35] <Alexi> SocialEvil: sounds like an out of date kernel to me. I may be wrong.
[17:36] <compdoc> T3X, you have to create a gpt partition, then format
[17:36] <T3X> Psi-Jack: A question require an answer
[17:37] <compdoc> no questions require answers
[17:37] <Psi-Jack> T3X: A less annoying manner, yes, in the manner you chose to use, no.
[17:37] <Psi-Jack> Absolutely not.
[17:37] <T3X> compdoc: how do i creat gpt partition, and do i know that ubuntu server has detected th ED?
[17:37] <Alexi> partitions bigger than 2TB need GUID Partion table (GPT)
[17:37] <wotwotslayer> It's bad manners to not answer valid questions
[17:37] <JW_> How can I configure atd to work on an SMP machine?
[17:37] <SocialEvil> Psi-Jack, any idea how to support my camera properly, Alexi i have Linux marla 2.6.32-41-generic-pae
[17:37] <T3X> Alexi: i am on ubuntu server not GUID interface
[17:37] <compdoc> T3X, open disk utility, and the drive will show there
[17:37] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: Would need to know the exact make and model of your camera.
[17:38] <compdoc> nm :)
[17:38] <SocialEvil> Psi-Jack, its an old one. moment
[17:38] <T3X> compdoc: i am on ubuntu server
[17:38] <compdoc> yes
[17:38] <Alexi> T3K GUID means Global unique identifier, its not a graphical GUI
[17:39] <compdoc> T3X, ' sudo fdisk -l '    does not show it?
[17:39] <AssociateX> L3top, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1986601.html zivley near the top has a xorg downgrade and near the bottom onecup2many has a 173 install work around. Either of those look more palatable than the other to you?
[17:39] <Alexi> T3X: use 'parted' and mklabel gpt inside the parted program
[17:39] <T3X> compdoc: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD . can you see anything there saying 3TB size or anything like that?
[17:39] <sambagirl> is it possible to use a 10.10 ubuntu live cd to access the hdd an remove the GRUB from mbr?
[17:40] <simplew> is there any tool that can tell me what type of partition i have inside a LVM?
[17:40] <simplew> fdisk doesnt tell me
[17:40] <JW_> atd - anyone?
[17:40] <serdotlin> after installed kernel 3.4.4 i only get 800x600 resolution on my netbook? How to fix this?
[17:40] <compdoc> T3X, that command is missing sudo
[17:40] <Alexi> simplew: parted can print out partition types. type 'print' inside parted
[17:40] <L3top> yes sambagirl :)
[17:40] <wotwotslayer> good lord so many questions going by with no answers.
[17:40] <L3top> looking AssociateX.
[17:40] <sambagirl> can i msg you l3top?
[17:40] <AssociateX> ty
[17:40] <SocialEvil> Psi-Jack, it says logitech camera express
[17:40] <sambagirl> my battery is almost gone on this laptop
[17:41] <L3top> wotwotslayer: it is presumtuous to feel entitled to an answer. I do not work for you. Nobody is paying me. If I choose to answer a question, then you should feel greatful. If I don't like the way a question is asked, I am certainly under no obligation to answer it. IMO.
[17:41] <oCean> serdotlin: 3.4 is not an Ubuntu kernel
[17:41] <BrutalDeathMetal> ciao

[17:41] <litropy> typo there, I know
[17:41] <simplew> Alexi: does not recognize LVM
[17:42] <T3X> compdoc: it wont hurt with anthing i am already as root
[17:42] <L3top> wotwotslayer: your presumption of the inverse.
[17:42] <Alexi> simplew: OK. Im not familiar with lvm.
[17:42] <oCean> wotwotslayer, L3top please don't continue that discussion here
[17:42] <serdotlin> oCean: i downloaded the deb package from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4.4-quantal/ and installed it from terminal sudo dpg -i ....
[17:42] <soraxx> vs
[17:42] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: That was for you.. A QuickCam? I need a model dude. Not just a brand.
[17:43] <oCean> serdotlin: PPA's are unsupported 3rd pary repositories.
[17:43] <compdoc> T3X, I would d/l and burn gparted to a cd
[17:43] <soraxx> anybody knows aboit mon0 is on -1 channel error

[17:46] <serdotlin> oCean: where to get the latest ubuntu kernel?

[17:47] <superuser> is there any thing i can uninstall/disable to make my pc faster
[17:48] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: Ahhh, that sounds more like a bug in Skype,.

[17:48] <oCean> serdotlin: Ubuntu does not aim for latest, but for stable
[17:48] <oCean> !latest
[17:48] <Zoohouse> superuser: you can try using an environment that uses less resources like xfce for example.
[17:49] <Zoohouse> Alexi: thanks, let me go check it out
[17:49] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: That's a pretty old camera, yes. Supported back in 7.04-7.04, and no longer really maintained, so may not be perfect.
[17:49] <Psi-Jack> Err 7.04-8.04
[17:49] <Alexi> Zoohouse: should already be insstalled, just type 'alsamixer' in a terminal
[17:49] <SocialEvil> i see
[17:49] <superuser> zoohouse, im useing the lxde environment
[17:49] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: So, either the camera, or Skype is not working properly.
[17:49] <quixotedon> superuser: and now you still feel that it's slow?
[17:49] <serdotlin> superuser: lubuntu here...
[17:49] <quixotedon> superuser: what hw are you using?

[17:53] <quixotedon> superuser: maybe you can try using gnome classic
[17:53] <oCean> serdotlin: we can not support kernels that aren not in the official repositories. They might break anything

[18:04] <L3top> AssociateX: I would downgrade xorg personally and pin it till nvidia fixed this. That seems like a nice thourough walkthrough.

[18:11] <Psi-Jack> SocialEvil: That'd be my first guess, yes.
[18:12] <L3top> andornaut: I would begin with dpkg --configure -a
[18:12] <i7c> abe: i read that, yes. but what is it that you want to do? the error message means: you are trying to open port 53 on your machine and another program already uses that port

[18:12] <andornaut> L3top: same error

[18:15] <L3top> andornaut: I run into this little loop from time to time, but it stems from chrooting the install on a host which also has this install... and most of my understanding of how to fix it is brutal and designed for this circumstance.

[18:25] <BluesKaj> djiefo, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[18:25] <L3top> andornaut: first of all does ps aux | grep mysql | grep -v grep         return a result?
[18:25] <wotwotslayer> andornaut: yes, the link you posted complained about configure errors, either way, it didn't give many answers, ./configure usually tells you what's wrong though
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> djiefo  what website is that? i never need or use wine
[18:25] <djiefo> BluesKaj, actually first heard of it

[18:31] <lmger> i am running ubuntu 12.04 but i have not installed unity and do not want it either. i have xfce and MATE. How can i change the login manager?
[18:31] <andornaut> wotwotslayer: ah okay. I'm not install from source though...
[18:31] <litropy> When I aptitude reinstall indicator-datetime, I get, "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the indicator-datetime package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package."
[18:31] <wotwotslayer> andornaut, is openvz really supported by ubuntu then?
[18:31] <i7c> BluesKaj: Zoohouse said he could hear system sounds... it shouldnt be alsamixer then, right?
[18:32] <quixotedon> !desktop manager| lmger
[18:32] <Zoohouse> i7c: I do hear system sound when i press vol up and vol down but that's it.
[18:32] <BluesKaj> i7c, ok , pulseaudio ?
[18:32] <litropy> Yet, indicator-datetime Version: 0.3.1-0ubuntu2 is installed.
[18:32] <i7c> BluesKaj: yes.
[18:32] <quixotedon> !login manager| lmger
[18:32] <magarwal> Mysql-cluster-server packages were deleted from the repo...now not installable from apt-get.Is there any specific reason, why this is so
[18:33] <Zoohouse> BluesKaj: When I run pulse audio, I get this: E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create()
[18:33] <i7c> Zoohouse: in "playback" tab you can turn on/off applications and also select an output device for each app
[18:33] <i7c> Zoohouse: if you see volume bars in pavucontrol pulse audio is just running perfectly
[18:34] <BluesKaj> i7 if he has pavucontrol installed
[18:34] <andornaut> wotwotslayer: not sure. the webhost does offer it as an option, so I'd hope they knew what they were doing
[18:34] <BluesKaj> i7c,^
[18:35] <litropy> I'm also having trouble with aptitude safe-upgrade: http://pastebin.com/f5MwTdbD
[18:35] <Zoohouse> hold on, let me do a quick screen cast so u can see
[18:36] <popogogo> Hi folks, how can i relauch the launcher after i accidentally closed it by clicking on the red X next to the Dash icon?
[18:36] <OerHeks> litropy, from 11.10 to 12.04 ? aptitude is remeoved, it can wreck your system
[18:36] <popogogo> i'm using 12.04
[18:36] <djiefo> Does this site works for you?  http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml
[18:36] <litropy> OerHeks, I'm running 12.04.
[18:37] <OerHeks> litropy, oke, then again, aptitude can wrech your system, use apt-get
[18:37] <OerHeks> !aptitude
[18:37] <KorvinSzanto> how can I scan an ip range for open ports?
[18:37] <litropy> OerHeks, wow ... really? What should I use after apt0get update? apt-get dist-upgrade?
[18:37] <KorvinSzanto> I want to scan 10.1.10.* for open 80 ports
[18:38] <OerHeks> litropy, apt-get dis-iupgrade -d ( for development, 12.10 is not out yet )
[18:38] <Gyges> djiefo, yes
[18:38] <Zoohouse> i7c, BluesKaj: Finally! While I was recording the video I changed the profile to Analog Stereo Duplex and that solved it. Woohoo!!!
[18:38] <OerHeks> c/ apt-get dist-upgrade -d
[18:38] <Gyges> djiefo, i do not have shockwave installed
[18:38] <litropy> OerHeks, I'm not looking to upgrade to 12.10
[18:39] <OerHeks> litropy, why do you want a dist upgrade then?
[18:39] <i7c> Zoohouse: i'm glad, you found out!
[18:39] <wotwotslayer> KorvinSzanto: use nmap, switch -P 80 x.x.x.*
[18:39] <djiefo> Gyges,  ok it tells you to install shockwave, but theres no version of this shockwave for ubuntu...
[18:39] <Zoohouse> i7c, BluesKaj: Thanks for the help :D
[18:39] <litropy> OerHeks, okay, so just apt-get upgrade then, right?
[18:39] <wotwotslayer> KorvinSzanto, sorry small -p
[18:39] <BluesKaj> dj you don't need shockwave , flashplayer is enought to do the job
[18:39] <BluesKaj> djiefo, ^
[18:40] <Gyges> not here,
[18:40] <OerHeks> litropy, yes, if you want to continue 12.04.
[18:40] <neri> hola
[18:40] <neri> gente
[18:40] <Gyges>  let me check in adobe site
[18:40] <Gyges> if it plays there
[18:40] <AssociateX> Mu ha ha ha! nvidia-173 is installing!
[18:40] <djiefo> BluesKaj,  flashplayer is installed
[18:40] <Laice> anyone have any experience with sending sms from a desktop?
[18:40] <Nuclear_muffin> my computer won't shut down
[18:40] <Nuclear_muffin> What  do i do?
[18:40] <BluesKaj> dj close FF , then open it
[18:40] <Laice> @Nuclear_muffin sudo reboot
[18:41] <BluesKaj> djiefo,^
[18:41] <Nuclear_muffin> ok thank you
[18:41] <Laice> in terminal
[18:41] <litropy> OerHeks, what's the deal, anyway? I thought aptitude was solid ...
[18:41] <Nuclear_muffin> is this a comon problem?
[18:41] <BluesKaj> djiefo, sometimes a reboot is required too
[18:41] <Laice> @Nuclear_muffin not shutting down you mean?
[18:41] <OerHeks> litropy, it was, and i liked it a lot. i hope it will be fixed soon.
[18:41] <Nuclear_muffin> yeah
[18:41] <djiefo> BluesKaj,  maybe a reboot
[18:41] <Gyges> did any of you get offer from iceglen ?
[18:42] <quixotedon> Gyges: no, what's that about?
[18:42] <Nuclear_muffin> ill try the sudo thing now
[18:42] <Laice> @Nuclear_muffin sometimes, however if you click shutdown again it' normally forces it if it hasnt the first time
[18:42] <quixotedon> Laice: just know that.. :d
[18:42] <Nuclear_muffin> oh ill try that fist
[18:42] <Laice> @Nuclear_muffin then again i dont really turn my servers off :P
[18:42] <wotwotslayer> Nuclear_muffin: if you want to shutdown, then you can write # shutdown -h now
[18:42] <Laice> ? quixotedon ?
[18:43] <Laice> lol looks like he managed it xD
[18:43] <joseoo> when using mount to nfs is it possible to set uid/gid  , my uid is 1000 and the remote folder is 1004 so i do not have permission to write
[18:43] <BluesKaj> aptitude doesn't handle dependencies as well as apt-get now , litropy
[18:43] <joseoo> any suggestions
[18:43] <quixotedon> Laice: the shut down on second click.. :d
[18:43] <Nuclear_muffin> it didn't after second try
[18:43] <Nuclear_muffin> should i do sudo retsart now?
[18:43] <Laice> @quixotedon if in doubt push all of the buttons
[18:43] <Nuclear_muffin> *restart
[18:44] <Laice> by all means
[18:44] <Laice> and if that doesnt work
[18:44] <litropy> BluesKaj, sounds like somebody's slackin' ...
[18:44] <Laice> sudo init 6
[18:44] <Laice> last resort
[18:44] <Nuclear_muffin> ok
[18:44] <FloodBot1> Laice: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:44] <cndiv> My ultrabook has a PS/2 synaptics trackpad but it's unsuable in the default Ubuntu installation. Can someone suggest a replacement driver?
[18:44] <Nuclear_muffin> didn't do anything
[18:44] <Laice> o.O
[18:44] <quixotedon> anyway, when i do apt-update, why is /var/lib/dpkg locked?
[18:44] <Nuclear_muffin> missing job name
[18:44] <Laice> to stop updates updating on the top of updates
[18:45] <BluesKaj> litropy, agreed ,I used aptitude for yrs , til i started seeing broken packages on ordinary installs from the repos
[18:45] <Nuclear_muffin> What do i do?
[18:45] <semitones> my window buttons are sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, due to past tweaks. How can I make them uniformly left?
[18:45] <quixotedon> semitones: windows buttons??
[18:45] <elbee19> Hello, does anyone here work with ruby?
[18:45] <Nuclear_muffin> I will be back
[18:45] <quixotedon> !ruby| elbee19
[18:45] <Gyges> well djiefo and others , according to this https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ flashplayer is not enough
[18:45] <nisdec> semitones: I think its an option in ubuntu-tweak
[18:45] <semitones> quixotedon: close, maximize
[18:46] <semitones> nisdec: I was hoping to avoid installing that -- can I do it manually?
[18:46] <quixotedon> semitones: you can make them move to left when you maximize the window
[18:46] <litropy> BluesKaj, am I wrong when I say both apt-get and aptitude both just read the depends flags within the package itself?
[18:46] <Gyges> !shockwave
[18:46] <nisdec> semitones: sry... I'm a GUI noob :>
[18:46] <OerHeks> semitones, some themes do push the close-min-max to the left/right.
[18:46] <semitones> quixotedon: yeah that's what I meant when they're sometimes on the left
[18:47] <elbee19> quixotedon: Hi, I'm new to IRC, so forgive me if I'm not violate etiquette in any way. I've used the ruby command line before in windows, and want to open it on my ubuntu now
[18:47] <semitones> OerHeks: I'm using a dark theme -- do I just need to find theme settings?
[18:47] <elbee19> *if I violate
[18:47] <BluesKaj> litropy, not sure , forgot what the reasoning was there
[18:47] <elbee19> I enter 'ruby' in the command line, and the cursor shifts to the next line. Nothing happens. Is that not the right way?
[18:47] <semitones> OerHeks: I have ambiance
[18:47] <OerHeks> semitones, if you find a good theme editor, let me know. that would solve me a lot trouble like you experience now.
[18:48] <semitones> ah man :p alright
[18:48] <djiefo> Gyges, linux wine+firefox for windows works
[18:48] <Gyges> i see
[18:48] <Laice> @semitones sent you a link
[18:48] <quixotedon> elbee19: you're typing 'ruby' on irc chat?
[18:48] <elbee19> Haha, no. I'm typing 'ruby' on the terminal
[18:49] <semitones> Laice: thanks
[18:49] <elbee19> May be that's as dumb as typing it here :P But could you kindly tell me what I need to do?
[18:51] <quixotedon> elbee19: are you using 12.04? in terminal it states that you need to use ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.1, while i myself don't use it.. :)
[18:51] <quixotedon> *never
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> djiefo  yes, but with wine, you're using windows, so to say
[18:52] <Laice> so anyone ever sent a text from ubuntu? I have a pci mobile broadband (which ubuntu picked up on with just a reboot and connects automagickally) but suposedly i can send text from ubuntu, no idea how tho
[18:52] <elbee19> quixotedon: Yes, I'm using 12.04
[18:52] <Laice> and by that i mean sms
[18:52] <GRY> Interesting question.
[18:53] <elbee19> quixotedon, this is my version: ruby 1.9.3p194
[18:54] <Nuclear_muffin> Im back
[18:54] <semitones> what's the 12.04 equivalent to gconf-editor? dconf-editor?
[18:54] <Nuclear_muffin> what do i do?
[18:54] <Nuclear_muffin> My computer won't shut down
[18:54] <quixotedon> elbee19: then, it didn't do anything?
[18:54] <BluesKaj> Gyges, djiefo , install gnash for the shockwave thing if you feel you need it
[18:55] <Gyges> ok
[18:55] <quixotedon> Nuclear_muffin: why not try 'hard' shut down? (pressing the power button).. well this happens to me several times this week
[18:55] <elbee19> quixotedon, typing 'ruby1.9.3' or 'ruby' or 'ruby1.9' doesn't work
[18:55] <wotwotslayer> Lacie: Seems unlikely, sending SMS is complicated business, you'll have to interface with a telecom through some partner that carries SMS services.
[18:55] <OerHeks>  Nuclear_muffin if you pc does not shutdown, that would be an ACPI problem, setup wrong in bios or you used noacpi in grub.
[18:56] <twig11> I need help troubleshooting the Ubuntu One client. I recently dropped a large directory into the U1 directory, and after uploading about 166 Mb of it, the Ubuntu One client seems to have completely stalled out and is showing no more upload progress, even though it's burning up All my available upload bandwidth (about 20KB/s). Setting the upload bandwidth limit lower through the client software has no effect, and the gui says "loading" and seems to hang permane
[18:56] <twig11> ntly when I select "disconnect." Using Magicicada, I was able to stop the service on the second try. Is there a misconfigured file somewhere that I can delete to restore Ubuntu One to normal behavior? Any advice would be great, thanks.
[18:56] <Nuclear_muffin> OerHeks, i havn't had this before and i leave my biose alone
[18:56] <Nuclear_muffin> OerHeks, What do i do?
[18:56] <quixotedon> OerHeks: i've updated but still the same problem of never ending loading when shutting down happens several times
[18:56] <litropy> How do I reinstall using ap-get? Just remove/install?
[18:57] <litropy> apt-get*
[18:57] <trism> litropy: apt-get install --reinstall package_name
[18:57] <litropy> trism, thx
[18:57] <twig11> Forgot to mention with the above statement, my internet connection is basically unusable for anything else while Ubuntu One is running, since I can't set it not to consume my entire available bandwidth.
[18:57] <guntbert> semitones: as far as I saw, yes
[18:57] <OerHeks> All i know you can hold the powerbutton for 10 sec, it will turn off your pc the hard way. not suitable for normal use.
[18:58] <elbee19> quixotedon, nvm. I'm using the irb now :)
[18:58] <Nuclear_muffin> OerHeks, OK thanks i will search it up more thank you
[18:58] <Laice> something is seriously borked if you can't sudo init 6 though
[18:58] <semitones> guntbert: alright, I'll look to see if I can use dconf-editor to move the buttons to the left
[18:58] <OerHeks> Nuclear_muffin, did you use sudo with that shutdown option?
[18:58] <quixotedon> OerHeks: yeah, that's what i usually do when things like that happen
[18:58] <Nuclear_muffin> quixotedon, my harddrive got corrupted shuting off the hard way when i had windows.
[18:59] <Laice> *Ears prick up*
[18:59] <guntbert> semitones: I still have them there (I set it in 11.04 if I remember correctly ) - so the old settings seem to apply still
[18:59] <wotwotslayer> twig11: That is a serious problem, my senses tells me that there ought to be some way to trottle network throughput, alas I do not know anyway besides killing them completely.
[19:00] <Nuclear_muffin> I Bey thanks for help
[19:03] <twig11> wotwotslayer: the Ubuntu One GUI has a setting for that, it just doesn't have any effect.  I would work around it using my router QOS settings (Buffalo router with branded DD-wrt) but I'm not sure how to define the protocol to throttle. I read that Ubuntu One uses a custom protocol and the router only has several pre-selected protocols to choose from. So I'm stuck unless I can learn more. Hope there's someone here who knows something about this.
[19:05] <kesroesweyth> In htop, it shows that /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd is using 54.8% of my memory. Is there something I can do about this?

[19:17] <Checkmate> Yeah rfkill

[19:18] <mneptok> Checkmate: does the machine have a hardware switch?
[19:18] <Checkmate> Sorry I'm on my cell phone and my wireless card won't work
[19:18] <Checkmate> No it had a fn+f2 switch
[19:18] <Laice> @Checkmate so it literally is just an on/off switch for the wireless adaptor of sorts?
[19:19] <mneptok> Checkmate: toggle it.
[19:19] <jluc> hello

[19:20] <Checkmate> How do I restart the rfkill service?
[19:20] <tux-linux> rfkill help
[19:20] <Laice> @Checkmate i assume sudo service rfkill restart (may not be called rfkill though)
[19:20] <tux-linux> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill

[19:24] <Checkmate> Huh?
[19:24] <Laice> power name time
[19:24] <Checkmate> Unblock all should unblock it right?

[19:27] <angel279> thanks
[19:31] <Lunar_Lander> hello
[19:31] <wotwotslayer> Although cp -r isn't exactly secure, since it can overwrite files in destination directories.
[19:32] <root_> LOAD -e /root/leet.py
[19:32] <Lunar_Lander> I just got an update of the linux-headers and unity-lens-video and after the restart I got twice "Ubuntu recognized a problem" with "unity-lens-video" and once with "gnome-control-center"
[19:32] <Lunar_Lander> is that something dangerous?
[19:34] <guntbert> gu4an
[19:36] <guntbert> how do I prevent all apps to open full screen (unity)?
[19:36] <L3top> unity-lens-video causes problems for some folks. There are bugs filed... but it is not "dangerous". It won't destroy files or anything... I believe that lens isn't even supposed to work in 1204... I can't remember for sure.
[19:36] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[19:36] <Lunar_Lander> and the gnome CC?
[19:37] <semitones> OerHeks: I used gconf-editor to change the buttons. It appeared to work
[19:37] <semitones> OerHeks: however I remember doing this before and rebooting with the change reset
[19:37] <L3top> *shrug*  could be that they are related. I would try removing the lens and seeing if CC fixes personally Lunar_Lander.
[19:39] <Lunar_Lander> thanks L3top

[19:43] <azertyui> is runing at 100% at one time eveyday
[19:43] <azertyui> how to dertermine the application
[19:43] <azertyui> usage of CPU ?
[19:44] <bekks> azertyui: By using "ps -aux" e.g.
[19:45] <azertyui> what i m telling is
[19:45] <azertyui> there is one application runing at 4  PM
[19:45] <azertyui> everyday
[19:46] <bekks> And?
[19:46] <azertyui> i would like
[19:46] <Pici> !enter
[19:46] <azertyui> and that application is using
[19:46] <azertyui> 100% of cpu
[19:46] <Pici> azertyui: please stop pressing enter between every 2 words.
[19:47] <azertyui> what i would like to know is how to find the application  consumming the cpu *
[19:47] <azertyui> at 100 % of his usage
[19:47] <rogst> My cursor jumps about 5 pixels instead of a smooth motion when I use the touchpad, the trackpad is moving the cursor normally, any suggestion how to troubleshoot it ?
[19:47] <bekks> azertyui: You know which app you run, and you should know what it is doing?
[19:47] <azertyui> do you get my point N
[19:48] <semitones> rogst: I'm not an expert, but have you tried looking at the documentation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[19:48] <azertyui> i don't know
[19:48] <azertyui> i go lots of application and i don't now which one is wrong
[19:49] <BluesKaj> azertyui, how do you know cpu is at 100% , what app are you using ?
[19:49] <azertyui> every at 4PM there is one application consumming 100% of his usage
[19:49] <azertyui> and aftr few hours it come to normal
[19:49] <azertyui> that's my question BluesKaj
[19:50] <BluesKaj> azertyui, to find what is using cpu , look at system monitor
[19:50] <bekks> azertyui: And which app do you run? What is it doing at all?
[19:50] <bekks> azertyui: If you dont knwo, why do you run it?
[19:50] <azertyui> man
[19:50] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[19:50] <azertyui> that's my question
[19:50] <rogst> semitones: I looked there but did not find anything helpful
[19:50] <azertyui> i would like to understand what application is runing
[19:50] <PrototypeX29A> is there any chance to help to fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/740893
[19:50] <azertyui> automatically at 2PM
[19:50] <azertyui> 4PM
[19:51] <melkor> is cheese the standard gnome webcam program?
[19:51] <azertyui> how to check that ?
[19:51] <MonkeyDust> melkor  yes
[19:51] <PrototypeX29A> this is most annoying, i would consider it a showstopper and it is open now for over a year
[19:51] <BluesKaj> azertyui, look for system monitor in you apps
[19:51] <bekks> azertyui: By taking a look at "ps -aux" when the app runs.
[19:51] <azertyui> i remove gnome
[19:52] <semitones> rogst: how about this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection
[19:52] <zykotick9> PrototypeX29A: 2.6 are you using 10.04?
[19:52] <azertyui> unfornately i m not at home at 4PM
[19:52] <azertyui> i can't check that also
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> azertyui  no need to remove it, simply install something else and use that
[19:52] <BluesKaj> oh lord ... can anypne spell brick wall
[19:52] <PrototypeX29A> zykotick9: no. 11.10 i would guess
[19:53] <zykotick9> PrototypeX29A: plus, that bug isn't even assigned, so no one is working on it.
[19:53] <bekks> azertyui: Then check your crontab, e.g.
[19:53] <semitones> rogst: maybe you're experiencing this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/xorg-driver-synaptics/+bug/365943
[19:53] <wiibiit> This is strange. Only happens in Firefox... my mouse pointer gets stuck with the hand\grab icon... only happens in firefox... I have to exit by short key and close the program... else throughout the entire os it's still stuck
[19:53] <PrototypeX29A> zykotick9: under which circumstance will it be assigned?
[19:53] <zykotick9> PrototypeX29A: "uname -r" are you really using a 2.6 kernel?
[19:53] <azertyui> that's what i m looking for crontab
[19:53] <azertyui> how to read a crontab ?
[19:54] <PrototypeX29A> zykotick9: no, today I am using a 3.0.0-17-generic
[19:54] <bekks> azertyui: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[19:54] <AssociateX> L3top,
[19:54] <AssociateX> L3top, still not worky.
[19:54] <atdprhs> hi
[19:54] <sandyd> PrototypeX29A, must be some kind of bug >2.6
[19:54] <atdprhs> Everytime, I turn on the computer, after it loads the bios and starts to lood the grub loader, it just restarts
[19:55] <atdprhs> how can I fix it?
[19:55] <azertyui> thnks bekks
[19:55] <azertyui> an other question
[19:55] <rogst> semitones: I hope not :D I want my two finger scrolling, I just read about an option for touchpad resolution detection that may cause the cursor to jump
[19:55] <kunguz> How do I customize my terminal in order to see only the directory name not the whole path at the beginning of the line?
[19:55] <semitones> nice, give it a shot!
[19:55] <azertyui> is it possible to install just only grub without installing ubuntu or any other OS on a pc ? bekks
[19:55] <atdprhs> how can I fix the grub loader/
[19:55] <atdprhs> ?
[19:56] <bekks> azertyui: Thats pointless, but possible.
[19:56] <semitones> atdprhs: try boot-repair
[19:56] <PrototypeX29A> sandyd: according to the second comment it started to happen with 2.6.38-7 kernel
[19:56] <atdprhs> command not found in terminal
[19:56] <azertyui> if possible what i hve to look for ?
[19:57] <andornaut> I have a OpenVZ VPS running Ubuntu 12.04. On boot, the /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname gets overwritten such that the fqdn is no longer specified (which causes apache and various other things to complain). Any ideas what is resetting those files?
[19:57] <zykotick9> kunguz: i assume you are using bash - that is determined by the value for PS1 (usually in ~/.bashrc) - i'd ask in #bash if you don't get an answer here.
[19:57] <sandyd> PrototypeX29A, Look through the changelog, and check to see if you can find out what is going on. Then, a patch can be made, and sent upstrea
[19:57] <sandyd> *upstream
[19:58] <kunguz> zykotick9, thank you I will check the file
[19:58] <atdprhs> where is that boot-repair semitones?
[19:58] <PrototypeX29A> sandyd: i was under the impression that the bug was well understood, but nobody cared to fix it
[19:59] <semitones> atdprhs: this has all the instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair you can get it from a ppa, or make a cd with it
[20:00] <sandyd> PrototypeX29A, The kernel devs may understand what is going on, but no one has come up with a patch.
[20:01] <sandyd> Kernel devs, like us, are voleunteers, and are alwasys shortstaffed
[20:01] <sandyd> they do not have the time to look over and fix every single problem.
[20:01] <sandyd> so the best thing is to determine what is causing the bug, test the patch, and attach it.
[20:02] <PrototypeX29A> yes, that might be true
[20:03] <wutang> yo yo
[20:03] <wutang> modos

[20:05] <AssociateX> So, I have flashplugin-installer installed, flash shows up in chrome://plugins and at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/, but flash does not work in either browser. Any ideas? I did a fresh install and down grading xorg to install nvidia-173, still nothing.
[20:05] <sandyd> Flash in chrome is seperate from the system flash
[20:05] <sandyd> Flash in chrome uses the pepper plugin
[20:05] <AssociateX> sandyd, it's chromium.
[20:06] <AssociateX> I will look for the pepper plugin, thank you.
[20:06] <wutang> born 2 kill
[20:06] <wutang> I'll fucking
[20:06] <Myrtti> wutang: this is the support channel for Ubuntu
[20:06] <kunguz> zykotick9, just a small information the line in bashrc has to be changed from PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ ' to PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:W$ ' and then it became as I wanted.
[20:06] <wutang> sorry
[20:06] <Myrtti> wutang: if you don't have anything to ask or contribute, please stop
[20:06] <BluesKaj> wutang, enough
[20:06] <wutang> wrong channel
[20:06] <AssociateX> sandyd, pepper does not apply to me, but thank you.
[20:06] <wutang> alright calm down

[20:11] <maquis> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 12.04, and most of my X setup is working, but I want to make adjustments to the default Xorg setup. Unfortunately, there's no xorg.conf, and I'm afraid if I try to create one manually, I'm going to end up with a setup that doesn't work.  Is there any way to get the existing xorg.conf, both as a starting point, and as a backup?
[20:11] <L3top> m___: fdisk -l will show drives attached to the system whether mounted or not
[20:11] <sandyd> m___, use fdisk -l to check if your disk is recognized
[20:11] <L3top> lol
[20:11] <sandyd> L3top, man, you were just one second faster :)
[20:11] <m___> fdisk -l brings no reply
[20:11] <wutang> ubuntubot
[20:11] <sandyd> m___, use sudo fdisk -l
[20:11] <L3top> m___: sudo fdisk -l
[20:11] <wutang> how do install my printer
[20:12] <m___> seems to recognize just my own hdd
[20:12] <sandyd> m___, what about lsusb?

[20:14] <RESNO> Pici: beatme
[20:14] <L3top> m___: can you attach the drive physically to the system? Remove it from the cage?
[20:14] <m___> L3top: i coudl release it, but i work on an notebook
[20:14] <m___> so it could be a problem
[20:15] <m___> cause the only desktop here is not working property
[20:15] <L3top> You could boot a live disk with the HD in question in the desktop. That is what I would do m___
[20:15] <Loof> Anyone know what happened to the svk package for Ubuntu? It seems to have disappeared in the latest version
[20:16] <m___> L3top: iam not sure, what u want me to tell ?
[20:16] <m___> how shoudl i do it, i cant open the notebook
[20:16] <m___> to put the hdd on it
[20:16] <m___> via ide (or sata dont know whats inside)
 cause the only desktop here is not working property <=----------- is this a desktop computer, or the desktop manager in *buntu you are referring to?
[20:17] <\3TATUK> Why can you `cd //` (and it actually displays `pwd` as // instead of /)... Even though it's the same director, and furthermore, anything more than two slashes equates to one? so `cd ///` will yield `pwd` as / and so will `cd ////////////`) ???
[20:17] <habib> Heya. Im trying to install ubuntu to my desktop. So in the begining it showed me partitions. One of them have enough free space but used for win.  i.ve clicked resize. And it started something. Miusearrow changed to clocks. Hdd led is sparkling. And it.s allready 5mins  spent and nothing changes. What does it means?
[20:18] <habib> Will it unfreeze soon?
[20:18] <AssociateX> So, I have flashplugin-installer installed, flash shows up in chrome://plugins and at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/, but flash does not work in either browser. Any ideas? I did a fresh install and down grading xorg to install nvidia-173, still nothing. Flash object just shows "missing plugin" (youtube in chromium) or "Please update your flash player" (facebook photo uploader in firefox).
[20:18] <m___> L3top: thsi is a real desktop, but this desktops hardware are gone
[20:19] <L3top> Oh... well that will not work... m___
[20:19] <atdprhs> can't find boot-repair to install
[20:19] <atdprhs> after adding the repository, still no boot-repair to install
[20:19] <azertyui> if possible what i hve to look for ?
[20:19] <atdprhs> tried it so many times
[20:19] <L3top> AssociateX: :(   but... at least you have the correct driver so you can get 3d accel etc
[20:19] <azertyui> ??
[20:20] <zalongwa> n
[20:20] <AssociateX> L3top, yeah. Hey, I'll keep you posted when I figure out what the problem is. Thank you for all of your help.
[20:20] <zalongwa> l
[20:20] <L3top> np.

[20:21] <maquis> I just installed ubuntu 12.04, and most of my X setup is working, but I want to make adjustments to the default Xorg setup. Unfortunately, there's no xorg.conf, and I'm afraid if I try to create one manually, I'm going to end up with a setup that doesn't work.  Is there any way to get the existing xorg.conf, both as a starting point, and as a backup?
[20:23] <L3top> habib: resizing takes time. Interrupting it will almost guarantee data loss
[20:23] <MonkeyDust> maquis  type !xorgconf for more information
[20:23] <maquis> !xorgconf
[20:23] <maquis> MonkeyDust: thanks
[20:24] <L3top> maquis: look into xrandr.
[20:24] <habib> L3top. Isnt it applying all the changes after all changes?
[20:24] <L3top> habib: I do not understand your question I am sorry.

[20:25] <aFeijo> hi folks
[20:25] <aFeijo> I have 20 files without extension, I want to add .conf to all files. How can I do that?
[20:26] <i7c> aFeijo: use bulk rename. comes with ubuntu ;)
[20:26] <aFeijo> i7c, in shell?
[20:27] <maquis> aFeijo: you could do a bash for-loop
[20:27] <jesusaurus> how can i add keymaps to the unity greeter?
[20:27] <jesusaurus> where is the config file for that kind of thing?
[20:27] <i7c> aFeijo: no it's a GUI program
[20:27] <aFeijo> maquis, I found examples in google with a for loop, but none for for files without extension
[20:28] <prime> @find
[20:28] <prime> Devil Said Bang
[20:28] <AssociateX> L3top, what does  "locate libflashplayer.so" tell you?
[20:29] <jesusaurus> can keymaps be added to the unity greeter on a system level?
[20:29] <L3top> aFeijo: find /path/to/source -type f -maxdepth 1 -exec echo mv /path/to/dest {}.conf \;        remove the echo to execute... as it sits will just tell you what it is going to try to do ;P Pici
[20:30] <sacarlson> aFeijo: at the count of only 20 files might be easy enuf just to change them in nautilus or manualy in shell,  but another option pyrenamer but will take time to learn
[20:30] <L3top> AssociateX: locate means just what you think it would... according to the system, where is this file located?
[20:31] <AssociateX> L3top, ha ha, no I meant where are your libflashplayer.so file(s) located.
[20:31] <L3top> oh... sorry
[20:31] <L3top> lol
[20:31] <AssociateX> that was a good one though.
[20:32] <L3top> /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[20:32] <AssociateX> L3top, ok, that's what I have too
[20:32] <atdprhs> I can't install boot-repair
[20:32] <atdprhs> unable to find it
[20:32] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, it should be in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/  or  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ , either path should work
[20:33] <aFeijo> L3top, thanks! it worked
[20:33] <L3top> BluesKaj: I believe the mozilla location is a symlink
[20:33] <L3top> yw aFeijo
[20:33] <L3top> and it has a different name as memory serves BluesKaj
[20:33] <atdprhs> can somebody tell me how to install boot-repair
[20:33] <L3top> !info boot-repair
[20:34] <L3top> there is your answer atdprhs.
[20:34] <BluesKaj> L3top, Ive been using that since the 32bit plugin installer wrpper for 64 bit got buggy about a yr ago
[20:35] <atdprhs> l3top, where is?
[20:35] <atdprhs> where?
[20:35] <AssociateX> Well, I guess I'll go post on the forums.
[20:35] <altan> Has anybody here tried playing steam games with wine? I was wondering if it's any good.
[20:35] <atdprhs> L3top, do you know how I can install boot-repair or a way that I can fix my grub loader?
[20:38] <L3top> atdprhs: what I would do is boot to live disk and run update-grub /dev/sdX       where X is your drive assignment.
[20:38] <L3top> Sorry AssociateX.
[20:39] <L3top> I know this has been plaguing you a few days.
[20:39] <atdprhs> I am running the live cd L3top
[20:39] <atdprhs> let me run update-grub
[20:40] <AssociateX> L3top, thank you.
[20:40] <atdprhs> it keeps saying is it mounted, l3top?
[20:42] <DSSL> So, does anyone have any ideas on what would be the 'perfect' ubuntu laptop?
[20:42] <L3top> atdprhs: then you need to unmount it. Close nautilis or anything that might have it open and issue mount... figure out what is mounted, then issue sudo umount -lf /dev/sdXY    where X is the assignment and Y is the partition.
[20:42] <jesusaurus> DSSL: lenovo thinkpads generally have well-supported hardware
[20:42] <quidnunc> How can I burn an iso to a usb stick so that it is bootable?
[20:43] <DSSL> jesusasurus: Levono, eh?
[20:43] <DSSL> quidnunc: sudo apt-get install unetbootn
[20:43] <atdprhs> still
[20:43] <L3top> DSSL polling is discouraged in this channel, but as jesusaurus said, lenovo is well supported, and avoid ANYTHING with optimus hardware
[20:43] <atdprhs> L3top
[20:43] <atdprhs> still the same
[20:43] <atdprhs> I unmounted
[20:43] <quidnunc> DSSL: Thanks. Is there a way to do it from the console?
[20:43] <atdprhs> exited everything
[20:43] <atdprhs> except this
[20:44] <atdprhs> and still L3to
[20:44] <atdprhs> L3top
[20:44] <FloodBot1> atdprhs: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:44] <L3top> atdprhs: Then you haven't unmounted it. If it says it is mounted, it is mounted.
[20:44] <atdprhs> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo update-grub /dev/sda1
[20:44] <atdprhs> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[20:44] <L3top> atdprhs: pastebin the output of mount.
[20:44] <sacarlson> AssociateX: I assume you tried this flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>-0lucid1_i386.deb or other method I see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1967025
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> atdprhs: are you chrooting?
[20:44] <DSSL> quidnunc: there is, but it's more complicated...
[20:44] <L3top> atdprhs: I did not say to do that... I said to update-grub /dev/sdX   no partition
[20:45] <quidnunc> DSSL: Can you point me to instructions?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> atdprhs: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   will get you a chroot without errors
[20:45] <DSSL> quidnunc: much much more complicated. Unetbootn will do it in 3 clicks
[20:45] <Nuclear_muffin> I have had horrible sound ever since i switched to ubuntu 12.04 how do i fix it could i have bad drivers?
[20:45] <quidnunc> DSSL: alright then
[20:45] <DSSL> quidnunc: sure :) just let me search
[20:45] <quidnunc> DSSL: never mind it's okay
[20:45] <L3top> He shouldnt have to chroot to update grub ActionParsnip... and that will definitely mount it... frankly I dont know why it is complaining about it being mounted.
[20:45] <quidnunc> It's just that apt-get is running an upgrade and I can't install anything
[20:46] <atdprhs> I tried sd1 and sdX and still the same error L3top
[20:46] <AssociateX> sacarlson, reading that thread now, thank you.
[20:46] <L3top> Or am I confused ActionParsnip?
[20:46] <L3top> atdprhs: We have a communication error. In your case it would be /dev/sda
[20:46] <DSSL> quidnunc: The problem is, the command line way is different for different iso's. It's rather complicated, if you can avoid it.
[20:46] <Nuclear_muffin> Does anyone else know how to fix?
[20:47] <atdprhs> same error L3top
[20:47] <quidnunc> DSSL: Yeah I'll just wait until my upgrade is finished an duse unetbootn
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> L3top: if its from liveCD then you will needto chroot
[20:47] <L3top> atdprhs: please pastebin the error, and pastebin the output of mount
[20:47] <samuel> anyone know how to get the notification area icon working for xchat?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> samuel: working in what way?
[20:48] <L3top> ActionParsnip: thank you... atdprhs you will need to follow the directions ActionParsnip gave you. I was mistaken.
[20:48] <Nuclear_muffin> any one know about my problem rh?
[20:48] <samuel> as in visible in unity

[20:48] <Nuclear_muffin> *eh
[20:48] <brennan> hi room
[20:48] <AssociateX> sacarlson, I did try flash-aid, it did not help. I also tried and earlier flash release, did not work.
[20:49] <samuel> before it always showed an icon in the notification area, it does this in gnome shell still, but not in unity
[20:49] <L3top> it is complaining that it is NOT mounted atdprhs... like I said... you will need to follow  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so and chroot into the install, and update-grub from there.
[20:49] <L3top> er
[20:49] <L3top> lol
[20:49] <brennan> is this th chat for the new ubuntu?
[20:49] <L3top> www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video  atdprhs
[20:49] <L3top> copy paste fail. sorry about that
[20:49] <Nuclear_muffin> brennan, ubuntu in general
[20:50] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, are you sure it's flash that's causing your problem ...what exactly is happening thay makes you think it's flash?
[20:50] <L3top> brennan: ubuntu SUPPORT, meaning you have a problem.
[20:50] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, I have no idea what the problem is.
[20:50] <AssociateX> So, I have flashplugin-installer installed, flash shows up in chrome://plugins and at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/, but flash does not work in either browser. Any ideas? I did a fresh install and down grading xorg to install nvidia-173, still nothing. Flash object just shows "missing plugin" (youtube in chromium) or "Please update your flash player" (facebook photo uploader in firefox).
[20:50] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, ^^^^
[20:50] <usr13> quidnunc: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[20:51] <brennan> ya is there supposed to be spaces after the equal sign in wvdial.conf?
[20:51] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, so what's not working exactly , explain the circumstances
[20:51] <quidnunc> usr13: That doesn't like my iso for some reason
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'    Thanks
[20:51] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, flash is not working on any page, youtube, facebook , or what ever.
[20:51] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, yes
[20:51] <L3top> brennan: /join #ubuntu-beginners
[20:51] <AssociateX> hold on
[20:52] <BluesKaj> no video or no audio or both AssociateX ? and do you have video and audio on your pc , apart from websites ?
[20:53] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, both
[20:53] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1064993/
[20:53] <L3top> BluesKaj: a bit of history... flash  is broken in everything on everything for everything, does not show up, was working prior to update a couple of days ago, and he just got the correct proprietary nvidia driver installed (173) today to no avail.
[20:53] <BluesKaj> so it's not flash especially , it's probly audio and video drivers that aren't installed AssociateX
[20:53] <usr13> AssociateX: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[20:53] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, how would I check if flash video was working outside of a webpage?
[20:54] <L3top> !info adobe-flashplugin
[20:54] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, flv files
[20:54] <DSSL> Well, I'm off
[20:54] <true_techie> dj_ryan, did you get classpath errors?
[20:54] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, maybe. let me check for a flv somewhere
[20:54] <BluesKaj> bbiab , got some bbq on the go
[20:55] <atdprhs> it doesnt work
[20:55] <L3top> BluesKaj ActionParsnip flashplugin-installer has been removed/purged installed --reinstalled... and I am spent.
[20:55] <L3top> As near as I can tell it should be working.
[20:55] <m_> L3top sry, doesent recognized my connection where gone :/
[20:56] <L3top> !details | atdprhs
[20:56] <m_> wont just vanish ;/
[20:56] <L3top> m_ I am sorry, I do not know what you are referring to
[20:57] <m_> U are going to help me, with my external usb hdd, but i just dissconnected
[20:57] <harovali> hi ! I'm using ubuntu 12.04 happily , and I can print for instance from libreoffice calc without a problem. However,neither from evince, nor from mozilla (f.i. a mail from gmail) does the printer print, abeit it lets me select correctly the Samsung SCX-4623-Series laser printer.  What might be missing ?  (printer either plain text nor a .pdf file from the lpr command line utility does print, although it does not give an erro
[20:57] <m_> just wanna say soory, wasent supposed to be that unpolitly
[20:57] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, what would you suggest I play a flv with?
[20:57] <harovali> s/\(printer/\(printing/
[20:57] <Queops> Hello. I have 2 graphic boards on my laptop i'm not sure which one it is using now on Ubuntu but I want to always use the best one, how can I go about it?
[20:58] <L3top> m_ If it does not show up in fdisk -l then I cannot determine if it is the usb cage or the drive I am sorry... if you have nothing you can plug the drive physically into... there is no way for me to help
[20:58] <m_> L3top: its ok, i will fix teh desktop rigth now and wil try to hang in the hdd
[20:59] <L3top> Queops: is this an optimus laptop? intel + nvidia?
[20:59] <m_> than to the desktop
[20:59] <uni4dfx> Is there _anything_ I can do to reduce CPU usage of plugin-container when playing flash videos?
[20:59] <zykotick9> uni4dfx: other then not using flash - no.
[20:59] <L3top> uni4dfx: you can uninstall adobe and try gnash or lighthouse
[20:59] <Queops> L3top, no sir, it has intel+amd
[21:00] <uni4dfx> L3top I've tried gnash, and it was even worse, but I haven't tried lighthouse yet
[21:00] <Queops> hp g6 2002sp
[21:00] <Queops> L3top, restricted drivers are available to the radeon but I wanna make the choice before installing them
[21:01] <Queops> Or, I just want to avoid conflicts lol
[21:01] <L3top> Queops: if it is a restricted driver, then it is trying to install the ATI fglrx, which would be the better one.
[21:01] <OerHeks> intel & amd hybride?
[21:01] <Queops> Yep.
[21:01] <L3top> yes... there are all sorts out there... but they are rarer.
[21:01] <Queops> WOuld installing the restricted solve the priority?
[21:02] <L3top> priority, no.
[21:02] <Queops> I don't really want the intel one to run on my ubuntu
[21:02] <L3top> It will give you the best ouput possible for your discrete gpu. Can you please give me the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[21:02] <L3top> Queops: ^   it will be two lines
[21:03] <Queops> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)

[21:03] <OerHeks> Queops, i do not own one, but read this info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics &&  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450
[21:04] <Queops> Yeh never owned before, new universe to me
[21:04] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, VLC plays mostly all codecs, it's agood choice
[21:04] <kroynos> having an issue, i got my dovecot and postfix to recieve mail from the outside world, but some reason i cannot send mail to the outside world. is it a simple fix in the postfix?
[21:04] <AssociateX> thanks
[21:04] <L3top> Yes Queops... that will install the best driver for the discrete (ATI) gpu.
[21:05] <Queops> L3top, roger, so it's safe to install them right
[21:05] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, movie player is the only option that I have via gui menu and it does not work. Installing mplayer and VLC next
[21:06] <sacarlson> kroynos: I send mail through an agent in my case google gmail otherwise you will need to setup ssl and certificates on your system
[21:06] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, ok good
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: let me review
[21:06] <Queops> OerHeks, thanks, the forum post is for those that wish to switch
[21:06] <kroynos> kk thanks.
[21:06] <i7c> kroynos: a lot of mail servers don't accept mail from unknown sources.
[21:07] <AssociateX> ActionParsnip, what?
[21:07] <Queops> Which I'm not even want to be bothered with :P
[21:07] <L3top> I will say yes Queops... however you have a VERY rare case. The 3d/video accelleration will be better, the power consumption will be lower when using the ATI... however it SHOULD not affect WHEN which is used.
[21:07] <OerHeks> Queops, you don't have a bios-option to force your GPU ?
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: uninstall flashplugin-installer, enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugn    may help
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> AssociateX: just geting to read the link
[21:07] <L3top> OerHeks: almost certainly not.
[21:07] <Queops> OerHeks, nope, its very limited the bios
[21:07] <L3top> OerHeks: the ATI uses the intel as throughput... you cannot exactly "shut one off"
[21:07] <kroynos> i7c: interesting thought there. i will give the domain more time. thanks
[21:08] <Queops> L3top, what you mean when, it's automatic?
[21:08] <L3top> Queops: this technology is poorly supported in linux. It is SUPPOSED to be automatic.
[21:08] <Queops> L3top, basically I install the drivers and just forget it right?
[21:08] <Queops> L3top, yeh I am aware of that
[21:08] <melkor> damn, they claim there is a 64bit ubuntu support for skype, but you need the ia32 libs.
[21:08] <L3top> Queops: Not generally. As I said... vga-switcheroo will give you some control
[21:09] <Queops> L3top, just not what I wanted to do :P Blacklisting is out of question?
[21:10] <oem> I have a quick question if someone would please help me
[21:10] <L3top> Queops: you can... but what will probably result is either it will default to vesa or something, OR just display black when it doesn't want the discrete. I cannot really tell you for sure. I need to get my hands on one, or find someone very patient to test code for me  ;)
[21:10] <melkor> oem: ask and you might get answered.
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> melkor: install the 64bit deb from the skype site and then run:  sudo apt-get -f install     and it will install the deps
[21:10] <oem> thanx
[21:10] <melkor> ActionParsnip: I don't want to install the ia32 stuff.
[21:10] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, VLC plays  /usr/share/checkbox/data/websites/Flash_Video.flv
[21:11] <oem> my brother has ubuntu 12.04 on his laptop...
[21:11] <BluesKaj> melkor, it's a wrapper
[21:11] <oem> he can connect to unsecured networks....
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> melkor: you don't have choice if you want skype
[21:11] <melkor> oem: please don't use enter for punctuation.
[21:11] <altan> ActionParsnip, I need help choosing a wireless card :P
[21:11] <oem> but he cannot connect to his own secured network.
[21:11] <L3top> The idea behind this Queops is that the discrete is a battery vampire... like... insanely so... so when the big guns arent needed, they arent used... they are designed to work in unison... so separating them off will require, again, vga-switcheroo
[21:11] <Queops> L3top, I see i see hmmm but why would it not the radeon use the restricted drivers if the intel is blacklisted? unless they are connected
[21:11] <MonkeyDust> oem  in one line please, and mind: 'quick questions' are always the most difficult to answer
[21:11] <melkor> ActionParsnip: right, I can use a windows boot.
[21:12] <Queops> L3top,  I see i see
[21:12] <Queops> L3top, thanks for your help
[21:12] <oem> his modem is a docsis 3 sb 6120 surfboard
[21:12] <L3top> np...
[21:12] <oem> he puts in the key and still cannot connect to the internet wireless system
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | altan
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> melkor: its skype's fault
[21:13] <lewis1711> I can browse the net on this library wireless connection, butnot use apt-get. any reason why one would be able to use one and not the other?
[21:13] <melkor> ActionParsnip: yeah, it's cool they make a package I suppose.
[21:14] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, open krunner (alt+f2), kdesudo dolphin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer , is libflashplayer.so placed there?
[21:15] <lewis1711> any pointers would be appreciated. just something to google
[21:16] <BluesKaj> oops not krunner , run command :)
[21:16] <SkippersBoss> lewis1711, Firewall of library might not allow u to use anythin beyond port 80 an 8080
[21:16] <Oniklus> doesn't apt-get use port 80?
[21:16] <L3top> ActionParsnip: sorry... what is another alternative to gnash? You have mentioned it several times... I think I have the name wrong.
[21:17] <melkor> ActionParsnip: what about a VM? If I put 32bit linux on a memory stick, and then I wouldn't have to exit my current os.
[21:17] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, open run command (alt+f2), kdesudo nautilus /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer , is libflashplayer.so located there?
[21:17] <AssociateX> flash videos still not working.
[21:17] <eckesicle> Hi, how can I log all the IPs that connect to my server with ipfw, without logging each individual packet?
[21:18] <BluesKaj> err gksudo AssociateX , sorry
[21:18] <oem> wow...you folks are busy.  hey, thanx for your time anyway.
[21:18] <L3top> uni4dfx: lightspark I think sorry
[21:18] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[21:19] <L3top> !info lightspark
[21:19] <AssociateX> BluesKaj,  so yes
[21:20] <sacarlson> oem: I have better luck with wicd for wifi ,  also see options for wpa2 in wicd you can select wpa-supplicant as an option and other methods if that fails
[21:20] <melkor> sacarlson: he left a little quick.
[21:21] <sacarlson> melkor: yes I noticed that with the trafic I missed the exit
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> melkor: possibly, as long as it can access your hardware for skype
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> L3top: swfdec, lightspark are 2 i can name
[21:22] <L3top> ty
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> L3top: np :)
[21:23] <altan> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleMagicMouse - Will the Magic Mouse work with 12.04?
[21:24] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, do you have pulseaudio installed?
[21:24] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, yes
[21:24] <quidnunc> Why don't my usb drives automount?
[21:25] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, pavucontrol?
[21:25] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, no
[21:25] <sacarlson> quidnunc: if they can mount at all I'm sure you can add  a line in /etc/fstab to automount them
[21:25] <melkor> quidnunc: do you get any notice when you plug them in?
[21:26] <quidnunc> sacarlson: I don't want to do that
[21:26] <quidnunc> I want automagic
[21:27] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, installit , pavucontrol gives you more control over your sound direction and volume
[21:27] <melkor> quidnunc: what does the computer say when you plug them in?
[21:27] <quidnunc> melkor: dmesg log items seems to identify the disk with no apparent errors
[21:27] <L3top> quidnunc: you can just click on them in nautilus and they will mount... there are several circumstances which automounting would be a bad idea... and could cause real problems.
[21:27] <melkor> quidnunc: are you using unity?
[21:27] <mib_mib> hi guys, i'm trying to just sudo apt-get install openssh-server but i'm getting an error, how to fix? http://pastebin.com/NTTg105x
[21:27] <quidnunc> melkor: nope
[21:27] <melkor> quidnunc: what are you using?
[21:27] <quidnunc> melkor: xmonad on gnome3 classic
[21:27] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, ok, it's installed.
[21:28] <altan> ActionParsnip, mind if I ask what type of wireless card you have?
[21:28] <melkor> quidnunc: when you run nautilus do you have the option to open the drive from the sidebar?
[21:29] <tking> hi guys, i want to remove two unwanted folder from user/share/backgrounds directory pls help. the folder names are Pictures and contest
[21:29] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, nowopen pavucontrol and setup your audio
[21:29] <altan> tking, you need to make sure you have permission to do that
[21:29] <sacarlson> mib_mib: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -f ;
[21:30] <tking> altan i added them now, hv pass
[21:30] <altan> tking, it would be 'chmod ugo+rw FILE'
[21:30] <mib_mib> sacarlson: what does the -f do?
[21:30] <altan> then you should try sudo rm FILE
[21:30] <sacarlson> mib_mib: man apt-get
[21:31] <tking> altan chmod +rw DIR or FILE? cos its a folder
[21:31] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, looks good. html5 plays sound and video on youtube just fine btw, just not flash.
[21:31] <AssociateX> *just flash is not working
[21:31] <mib_mib> sacarlson: ok, so would it be sudo apt-get install -f openssh-server?
[21:31] <altan> tking, it would be the dir
[21:32] <sacarlson> mib_mib: I think that might also work but not needed
[21:32] <mib_mib> sacarlson: yeah didn't work same errors
[21:32] <sacarlson> mib_mib: you have some ppa repository for ssh?
[21:33] <altan> tking, did you try to rm -r dir
[21:33] <mib_mib> sacarlson: dont think so...
[21:33] <tking> altan yes
[21:33] <altan> tking, did it work?
[21:33] <sacarlson> mib_mib: what if we sudo apt-get install openssh-client ;
[21:33] <tking> altan nope
[21:33] <melkor> tking: sudo rm -r dir ?
[21:34] <tking> ys
[21:34] <melkor> tking: but be carefull...
[21:34] <mib_mib> sacarlson: says openssh-client is already the newest version; 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
[21:34] <mib_mib> sacarlson: but when i do sudo apt-get remove openssh-client it doesn't remove it..
[21:34] <tking> altan i used sudo rm -r usr/share/backgrounds/Pictures (pictures is the folder i want to remove)
[21:35] <sacarlson> mib_mib: why won't it remove it?
[21:35] <altan> tking, is the folder empty?
[21:35] <tking> no
[21:35] <altan> tking, if so, try sudo rmdir dir
[21:35] <quidnunc> melkor: Yes I see the drive in nautilus.
[21:36] <tking> altan its not empty
[21:36] <mib_mib> sacarlson: i do sudo-apt get remove openssh-client ->  just says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded
[21:36] <quidnunc> melter: But I want it automounted in /media/ as per previous behavior
[21:36] <BluesKaj> tking, put a / in front of user
[21:36] <BluesKaj> er ys4r
[21:36] <melkor> quidnunc: previous to what?
[21:36]  * BluesKaj puts his glasses on
[21:37] <quidnunc> melkor: A recent upgrade I guess. On insertion USB devices were automatically mounted in /media
[21:37] <altan> BluesKaj, didn't even notice that :P
[21:37] <sacarlson> mib_mib: I'm afread to verify as I need ssh client
[21:37] <snooplsm> how can I update to the latest version of ubuntu?
[21:37] <snooplsm> is there a apt-get command?
[21:37] <mib_mib> sacarlson: ?
[21:38] <sacarlson> mib_mib: what version of ubuntu is this?
[21:38] <tking> altan, BluesKaj rm: cannot remove `/user/share/backgrounds/Pictures': No such file or directory
[21:38] <mib_mib> sacarlson: 10.10
[21:38] <melkor> tking: you can use tab to complete names.
[21:38] <altan> tking, are you meaning to type usr, not user?
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> snooplsm  from 11.10 to 12.04     do-release-upgrade
[21:39] <snooplsm> how do i know i'm on 11.10
[21:39] <BluesKaj> tking, it's /usr/share...
[21:39] <melkor> tking: ie, rm -r /us<tab> and it will complete to usr, then start shar and tab. ect.
[21:39] <MonkeyDust> snooplsm  lsb_release -sd
[21:39] <revol0xf> tking , it /usr not /user :)
[21:39] <snooplsm> oh god
[21:39] <snooplsm> i'm on ubuntu 8.10
[21:39] <BluesKaj> it's
[21:39] <sacarlson> mib_mib: I'll have to look if I have an iso 10.10 that I can run in virtualbox to verify
[21:39] <altan> snooplsm, go update
[21:39] <snooplsm> how?
[21:39] <snooplsm> do-release-upgrade?
[21:40] <MonkeyDust> snooplsm  backup + fresh install is fastest and easiest, then
[21:40] <altan> snooplsm, don't ask me, i've never upgraded yet :)
[21:40] <tking> revol0xf, melkor BluesKaj altan thanks it worked
[21:40] <snooplsm> i don't even know how to fresh install
[21:40] <MonkeyDust> altan  is still at 4.10 ;)
[21:40] <altan> tking, did you get it sorted out?
[21:40] <tking> altan yes
[21:40] <MonkeyDust> snooplsm  a install like you did the last time
[21:41] <snooplsm> MonkeyDust: its a xen virtualized server
[21:41] <snooplsm> they just gave me it
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> snooplsm  i missed that part in your question
[21:41] <snooplsm> i didn't install last time
[21:41] <altan> MonkeyDust, nah, I'm just an old mac user who knew his way around the terminal :P I built a PC and put Ubuntu on it about two weeks ago
[21:41] <snooplsm> well i did but i just followed some blog
[21:41] <AssociateX> anyone else want to give it a shot on figuring out my flash problem?
[21:42] <tking> altan melkor  still in usr/share/backgrounds/   (i have a folder called new containing many background images i want to copy all the files in "NEW" to backgrounds)
[21:42] <sacarlson> mib_mib: oh ubuntu 10.10 is at endo of life on April 2012
[21:42] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, does flash play anything on websites ..I'm not clear on that

[21:44] <heroknights> I need some help with my Compiz
[21:44] <altan> tking, try giving yourself permissions for /usr/share/backgrounds/ and then copy the files over with the gui
[21:44] <heroknights> I have installed the Settings manger but none of the effects are working
[21:45] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, says missing plugin or update your flash player.
[21:45] <kodierer> hi
[21:45] <tking> altan how to pls :)
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> heroknights: if you press ALT+F2 then run:  compiz --replace     it will help (you will need 3D accelleration in the system)
[21:45] <altan> tking, sudo chmod +rw /usr/share/backgrounds/
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> tking: or run:  gksudo nautilus $HOME
[21:45] <iHarp> ActionParsnip: Does that mean there isn't a solution? end of life?
[21:45] <myhero> MonkeyDust: specif link to the concerner 4.7 gb .iso....i can oly see 1.6 gb iso but noet 4.78gb image
[21:45] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, what url ?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> iHarp: its not supported. I suggest you clean install with Precise
[21:46] <AssociateX> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3MzqSoqzlM&feature=g-all-lik
[21:46] <kodierer> i have a vserver with ubuntu 12.04 freshly installed from image. but in /etc/apt/sources there are only reference to _lucid_ repos, i don't quite get it, can somebody help there?
[21:46] <iHarp> ActionParsnip: I'm using a macbook 1,1 this is the only version that supports it correctly
[21:46] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, URL ^^^^'
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> kodierer: did you have Lucid on there before?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> iHarp: its a dead release dude
[21:46] <heroknights> actionparsnip i pressed Alt+F2 and nothing happend
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> heroknights: or run it in a termninal
[21:46] <iHarp> Works fine for me.
[21:47] <kodierer> the hoster makes some images available, you choose one and press install
[21:47] <heroknights> one problem
[21:47] <kodierer> then you can ssh in
[21:47] <heroknights> i cant scroll up
[21:47] <kodierer> so it's an automatic installation from some image i guess
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> myhero  i don't know if a 4.7gig iso exists, maybe someone else knows
[21:48] <myhero> ok
[21:48] <kodierer> and the old hd contents are deleted
[21:48] <altan> tking, sudo chmod ugo+rw /usr/share/backgrounds/
[21:48] <iHarp> Actionparsnip: It may be dead, but it's the only thing that works. It is actually rather stable
[21:48] <altan> tking, is what i meant
[21:48] <sacarlson> kodierer: I assume if it point to repo of 10.04 then that must be what it is
[21:48] <kodierer> login screen says 12.04
[21:48] <kodierer> login shell i mean
[21:49] <kubisztal> hey, i hope someone are able to help me. i got a gt440 card. my problem is: i cant boot any live-cd, im pretty sure the gpu stops responding when x-server is starting. i switched from gt220 because it was impossible to use the resolution i wanted to have (1280x1024). im now stuck in windows xp instead.. (i know this is a hardware issue, and not related to ubuntu. but if anyone know the solution,
[21:49] <kubisztal> i would really appreciate it)
[21:49] <heroknights> actionparsnip i ran the command but compiz  crashed
[21:49] <myhero> lastlog -file ~/Desktop/ubuntuimageisosize
[21:49] <kodierer> so as i assumed there are supposed to be precise references there
[21:49] <jesusaurus> does anyone here understand unity greeter configuration?
[21:49] <altan> tking, then you should be able to just drag and drop over your pictures :)
[21:49] <myhero> sudo lastlog -file ~/Desktop/ubuntuimageisosize
[21:49] <sacarlson> kodierer: maybe pastebin the /etc/apt-get/source.list here for us to see
[21:50] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, all I can teell you is that I use the sdobe flasplayer from their site , extract it and copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/bin/mozilla/plugins , and flash works fine everywhere
[21:50] <myhero> sudo /lastlog -file ~/Desktop/ubuntuimageisosize
[21:50] <tking> altan i hv done it, thanks... for security how do i disable access?
[21:50] <BluesKaj> adobe
[21:50] <AssociateX> BluesKaj, OK, thank you for trying.
[21:50] <sacarlson> kodierer: otherwise I would bring this mater to your hosters attention

[21:51] <[snake]> can I update libusb1.0.0 to 1.0.8 on ubuntu 10.04(lucid) x86?
[21:51] <kodierer> i don't get how this should work in the first place
[21:51] <BluesKaj> AssociateX, sorry , it's /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[21:51] <kodierer> or am i missing something
[21:51] <[snake]> or higher.

[21:52] <alusion> Hey ubuntu I am trying to add a repository but it said connection refused
[21:52] <alusion> No valid openPGP data found.
[21:52] <altan> tking, sudo chmod go-rw /usr/share/backgrounds
[21:52] <sacarlson> kodierer: I guess they just modified the shell bash to say it's 12.04 but it's not or it was installed wrong?
[21:52] <kodierer> i don't think so since kernel is 3.2.0-23-virtual
[21:52] <kodierer> but this must somehow got mixed up
[21:53] <kodierer> very odd
[21:53] <aristidesfl> hi, I've got ubuntu installed on a 4GB usb drive, with swap disable. would like to copy it to an empty hard drive, and enable swap on that hard drive, and have  the rest of space for a 3rth partition for media files. what's the easiest way to accomplish this?
[21:53] <altan> tking, get it all sorted out?
[21:54] <tking> altan yes i did, i dont know how to ask for more
[21:54] <altan> aristidesfl, you should try partitioning with gpart first
[21:54] <aristidesfl> altan is parted ok?
[21:54] <tking> altan thanks! much appreciated!!!
[21:54] <altan> aristidesfl, yeah, same thing it was a type on my part :P
[21:54] <Debolaz> aristidesfl: I think you should be able to just dd from the stick to the harddrive, then use the abovementioned partition editors to add new partitions.
[21:55] <alusion> http://pastebin.com/phBNEQgk
[21:55] <alusion> I'm trying to add a repository for ubuntu-tweak tool
[21:55] <Debolaz> aristidesfl: Adjusting the boot manager would probably also be needed.
[21:56] <aristidesfl> let's try dd
[21:56] <altan> aristidesfl, you probably want to make your linux partition with ext4
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> alusion: you can add it the super manual way
[21:56] <sacarlson> kodierer: might want to try one of the hosters other options as I would think if you need to install anything the chance of you breaking it would be very high
[21:57] <aristidesfl> altan the partition on the usb stick is ext3
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> alusion: ahh, keyserver.ubuntu.com is having issues
[21:57] <alusion> ActionParsnip, I might have to, as the connection is refusing for another repository as well...
[21:57] <alusion> That might explain it, should I just wait then?
[21:57] <altan> aristidesfl, it shouldn't really matter, either is ok
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> alusion: just add the ppa manually, then you can switch keyservers using command
[21:58] <aristidesfl> altan what are the advantages of ext4
[21:58] <pixelmechanic> where do i set the screensaver
[21:58] <alusion> ActionParsnip, this will be the first time I will attempt doing such, can you recommend me a guide or helpful reference?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> alusion: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[21:58] <kodierer> i will install 11.04 and see what's in the sources.list there
[21:58] <alusion> precise
[21:58] <altan> aristidesfl, https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions
[21:59]  * Debolaz contemplates trying a btrfs-only installation.
[21:59] <altan> aristidesfl, ext4 can mount and use a filesystem without a journal
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> alusion: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu precise main" | sudo tee /etc/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak.list; sudo apt-get update
[21:59] <L3top> kodierer: or you could just generate one http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> alusion: you will get a GPG KEY error, what is the code
[22:00] <aristidesfl> altan can't ext3 mount a FAT usb stick?
[22:00] <OerHeks> L3top, repogen does not add keys, those must come from keyserver.
[22:00] <altan> aristidesfl, I don't really know, I'm not exactly an expert in that area
[22:00] <sacarlson> kodierer: that's a posiblilty  L3top
[22:01] <alusion> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/LwyZHZzw
[22:01] <AssociateX> For anyone that knows about my flash problem, do you have a suggestion for where else I could go to find a solution to my problem?
[22:01] <sacarlson> kodierer: however if they mestup the source list what else did they mess up on the install L3top
[22:02] <aristidesfl> how can I see how much free space to I have in the disk?
[22:02] <kodierer> oh, what's an l3top?
[22:02] <L3top> me
[22:02] <OerHeks> aristidesfl, df -h or free
[22:02] <altan> aristidesfl, don't partition if you don't have a backup!
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> alusion: dude you need to remove the oneiric sources you have
[22:02] <kodierer> oh ;D
[22:02] <altan> aristidesfl, you can look at other partition data with disk utility
[22:03] <kodierer> well 11.04 image has oneiric references
[22:03] <kodierer> like it is supposed to be
[22:03] <L3top> alusion: gpgs=$(apt-get update |& grep -s NO_PUBKEY | awk '{ print $NF }' | cut -c 9-16); if [ -n $gpgs ]; then for gpg in $gpgs; do gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys $gpg; gpg --export --armor $gpg | apt-key add -; done; fi        that should add ANY gpg key.
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> L3top: nice
[22:04] <kodierer> sorry ;)
[22:04] <alusion> that is a beautiful command L3top, did that come out of knowledge or reference ?
[22:04] <aristidesfl> altan I don't have a desktop environment
[22:04] <L3top> It is part of an installer I wrote.
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> alusion: you should remove the oneiric sources you have in all of /etc/apt and below, it will give you issues
[22:04] <altan> aristidesfl, have you tried booting from the usb? gparted and disk utility are available on there
[22:05] <enapupe> hi, i'm looking for a audio player similar to foobar2k, any thoughts?
[22:05] <aristidesfl> altan I don't have a desktop environment
[22:05] <alusion> ActionParsnip, what command would I issue to do such?
[22:05] <aristidesfl> so I don't have gparted nor disk utility
[22:05] <quidnunc> enapupe: A apt-cache search foobar yields lxmusic
[22:06] <OerHeks> aristidesfl, then " df -h " will do
[22:06] <quidnunc> An*
[22:06] <arlo> hello are there are expert in varnish?
[22:06] <alusion> ActionParsnip,  I am not seeing any help from google >_<
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> alusion: google won't tell you that
[22:06] <enapupe> quidnunc: i'm having some issues with audio playback, have them on rythmbox and banshee
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> alusion: try:  grep -R oneiric /etc/apt/*
[22:06] <enapupe> quidnunc: now i don't think switching players will solve it
[22:06] <quidnunc> !audio | enapupe
[22:06] <alusion> ActionParsnip, do you have a reference collection of recommended sites and resources that you could upload to Delicious.com?  :)
[22:07] <altan> ActionParsnip, what search engine do you use
[22:07] <arlo> hello im try to install varnish
[22:07] <enapupe> quidnunc: it's working perfect until it repeats 1sec (like old cds) and continues normaly
[22:07] <arlo> to my webserver, are there expert in this?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> altan: duckduckgo.com
[22:08] <quidnunc> enapupe: Sorry I don't know. Check the links above
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> alusion: i just search or use experience
[22:08] <kodierer> ok disregard whatever i said i screwed up, my installer script was for lucid and modified the sources.list -.-
[22:08] <enapupe> kthkz
[22:08] <kodierer> way to own yourself lol
[22:09] <GeeksOnHugs> if I'm manually installing a program where is the preferred directory?  Like the equivalent of C:\Program Files I suppose
[22:09] <alusion> ActionParsnip, the command did not work, I navigated to /etc/apt and I see apt.conf and auth.conf
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> GeeksOnHugs: you can put apps in /opt if you want, you will need to manually integrate it into the OS
[22:09] <tking> altan, thanks bro for ur help
[22:10] <altan> tking, no problem!
[22:10] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs:  Don't do that. What is the program?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> alusion: run the command I gave, does it output anything?
[22:10] <GeeksOnHugs> quidnunc ActionParsnip : two progams (one library)  Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK
[22:10] <GeeksOnHugs> so not /opt?
[22:10] <GeeksOnHugs> what is /opt for
[22:11] <GeeksOnHugs> I would think a /bin ?
[22:11] <alusion> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/5mfDZcRt
[22:11] <bekks> GeeksOnHugs: /home/$user/bin
[22:11] <GeeksOnHugs> OK, and then the SDK?
[22:11] <GeeksOnHugs> I installed java in /usr/lib/java
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> GeeksOnHugs: you can drop your own apps in there if you want, it's good for people who manually install firefox without using PPAs etc
[22:11] <GeeksOnHugs> maybe the SDK in /usr/lib ?
[22:11] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[22:12] <GeeksOnHugs> kk ty
[22:12] <bekks> GeeksOnHugs: /home/$user/usr/lib e.g.
[22:12] <tking> anyone from London here?
[22:12] <arlo> are there a expert with webserver?
[22:12] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs: Why can't you install Eclipse from the package?
[22:12] <enapupe> arlo: which webserver?
[22:12] <GeeksOnHugs> heh...I allways thought /dev referred to developer :P
[22:13] <GeeksOnHugs> I didn't know if it came in a deb yet
[22:13] <dadsputer> how to mount a dvd
[22:13] <arlo> i have a webserver with apache/php/mysql
[22:13] <GeeksOnHugs> but the SDK I just dump somewhere
[22:13] <tking> any c++ expert?
[22:13] <arlo> but im try to install varnish on this its dont work.
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> dadsputer: is it a data dvd?
[22:13] <arlo> can you help me with this?
[22:13] <enapupe> arlo: you should try at their support #
[22:13] <enapupe> arlo: but i might help
[22:13] <GeeksOnHugs> cd /usr/lib
[22:13] <GeeksOnHugs> oops
[22:13] <bekks> GeeksOnHugs: apt-cache search eclipse :)
[22:14] <enapupe> arlo: is apache/php/mysql working ok?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> alusion: all I can suggest is use this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065107/     should clear out the oneiric stuff
[22:14] <GeeksOnHugs> bekks would that be definately the latest version?
[22:14] <arlo> yes its working ok now
[22:14] <arlo> but i have deleted varnish again
[22:14] <arlo> its simple program check here http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=6049
[22:14] <bekks> GeeksOnHugs: No.
[22:14] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs: You almost certainly don't need the latest version
[22:14] <arlo> little guide
[22:14] <arlo> can you help me with this, i give you acces?
[22:14] <arlo> 5 min
[22:15] <alusion> ActionParsnip, will clearing out the Oneiric stuff hit me back in the future where I might find myself needing it?
[22:15] <GeeksOnHugs> well yah but I PREFER the latest :)
[22:15] <GeeksOnHugs> the latest stable
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> alusion: no as you are using Precise
[22:15] <enapupe> arlo: ok
[22:15] <arlo> ok i send pm
[22:15] <alusion> ActionParsnip, Thanks for all your help again, I will see what this can do ^_^ You are amazing!

[22:16] <checkmate> hello everyone can someone please help me with my rfkill issue? my wireless card is soft blocked and I dont know why. I have tried sudo rfkill unblock all and I have tried unblocking the specific interface.
[22:16] <gld1982ltd> hello all. i have just installed 12.04 and the screen is very unclear. i have a geforce 5700 video card that usually uses nvidia 173. this is a fresh install of 12.04 using th nouveau driver. is there a way to fix this?
[22:16] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs: Use the repo version unless you can name a feature you need from a newer version
[22:16] <checkmate> gld1982ltd try installing the nvidia driver
[22:16] <GeeksOnHugs> quidnunc ah, I see...kk...what about if I used the ubuntu app store then
[22:17] <GeeksOnHugs> is the app store same as repo command line?
[22:17] <bekks> GeeksOnHugs: That will give you the version from the repo,
[22:17] <quidnunc> GeeksOnHugs: I assume it distributes what is in the repositories
[22:17] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: synaptic won't let me and jockey doesn't have any drivers available.
[22:17] <GeeksOnHugs> kk thank you guys :)
[22:17] <checkmate> gld1982ltd what is the error you are getting from synaptic? It should be as easy as enabling the restricted driver
[22:18] <checkmate> again, can someone please help me with my wireless card issue? rfkill is saying my wireless card is soft blocked and I cannot enable it
[22:18] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: Could not apply changes!
[22:18] <gld1982ltd> Fix broken packages first.
[22:18] <Nuclear_muffin> I was having a problem i fixed it but, when i tried to boot it said gnu grub version 1.99 and a bunch of other things i fixed it but i am wondering why it happend and if it will again
[22:19] <checkmate> gld1982ltd please click on the ubuntu button and search for "Additional Drivers" then try activating the nvidia accelerated graphics driver
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> dadsputer: then it should mount automagicaly if it's a data disk with data on it, if it's blank you don't need tomount it (and you won't be able to)
[22:19] <GeeksOnHugs> BTW, in theory it looks like ActionParsnip was right about /opt according to the wikipedia article which says /opt is for application software and /bin is for essential commands
[22:20] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: ther are no drivers listed in jockey.
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> GeeksOnHugs: :)
[22:20] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: are nvidia 173 drivers compatible with 12.04?
[22:20] <Nuclear_muffin>  I was having a problem i fixed it but, when i tried to boot it said gnu grub version 1.99 and a bunch of other things i fixed it but i am wondering why it happend and if it will again
[22:21] <checkmate> gld1982ltd im sorry then this problem may be over my head. Have you tried sudo apt-get install -f
[22:21] <AssociateX> gld1982ltd, I'm going through that right now, no
[22:21] <checkmate> gld1982ltd if its on the nvidia website and is a linux driver it will work in ubuntu ive done this myself
[22:21] <Nuclear_muffin> gtg
[22:21] <checkmate> can someone please help me with my rfkill issue?
[22:21] <bekks> The nvidia-173 is in the repos, too.
[22:22] <AssociateX> nvidia-173 has a broken dep
[22:22] <gld1982ltd> bekks: synaptic is calling it broken.
[22:22] <checkmate> cant you just download the driver off of the nvidia website and install it?
[22:22] <checkmate> I think ive done this
[22:22] <BrutusRex> Can anyone help me?  I can't get my display working, I'm in CLI mode.
[22:22] <AssociateX> gld1982ltd, it is broken, you have to down grade you xorg if you want it installed.
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> checkmate: you can but it won't upgrade as the repos are upgraded
[22:23] <checkmate> hmm hold on I think I found an additional repo you can add and you can install from there
[22:23] <gld1982ltd> AssociateX: so how can i fix my screen issues with nouveau? the screen is all fuzzy and dim.
[22:24] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: that would be awesome.
[22:24] <checkmate> gld1982ltd: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/06/nvidia-drivers-collection-for.html
[22:24] <BrutusRex> I managed to get the ati driver from the site downloaded and I ran it
[22:24] <BrutusRex> But it appears to hang at "postprocessing kernel module"
[22:24] <r00t__> I am missing Gtk Python modules... pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade where can I find these?

[22:25] <checkmate> r00t__ not sure though
[22:25] <checkmate> bekks how are you? Im back do u remember me?
[22:26] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: the 173 driver is not on that page.
[22:26] <bekks> checkmate: To be honest, no. But I'm fine.
[22:26] <checkmate> bekks its okay np :P
[22:26] <aristidesfl> bekks ahah
[22:26] <checkmate> gld1982ltd why specifically the 173 driver? is that the latest?
[22:26] <gld1982ltd> AssociateX: i hope you find it.
[22:26] <bekks> checkmate: It is the latest that supports his graphics card.
[22:27] <AssociateX> gld1982ltd, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1986601.html <--- there are two solutions on this page, one near the top and one near the bottom. I did the xorg down grade near the top of the page.
[22:27] <gld1982ltd> checkmate: 173 is the version that works with my card.
[22:27] <checkmate> bekks okay thanks
