[00:00] <jrib> jenia: when I say "install", I mean "install using APT"
[00:00] <wilee-nilee> sharpy, sda loads the mbr and gives the OS that is run in control of the boot, sda5 would not.  If you are referring to the command I ran a correct on refrence this please, we are already way out on a limb in explaining this.
[00:00] <jenia> okay thanks.
[00:01] <jenia> now, i 'm running i python3 and it uses pyton 2.7 as its interpreter. ill try to uninstall it and re-install it to see if it'll use the 3.3 interpreter instead
[00:03] <andreb> jrib looking at the screen here seeing some err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise/universe amd64 packages
[00:03] <andreb> its almost to the point at which it stops
[00:03] <abby_j> is there a location type manager for ubuntu?
[00:06] <pepee> andreb, you could try editting the sources.list manually while upgrading
[00:06] <pepee> but I'm not not sure how to do that :/
[00:06] <xangua> pepee: don't suggest thing like that please
[00:06] <skorket> d'oh, included an include directory I shouldn't have
[00:07] <pepee> xangua, qué?
[00:07] <xangua> andreb: if us servers don't work try to change to the main server: software center, edit, sources
[00:07] <pepee> xangua, why? what's wrong with that?
[00:07] <pepee> really...
[00:08] <pepee> xangua, you should try to understand the problem before talking

[00:08] <andreb> xangua to what server
[00:09] <NickWeber> Hi.
[00:09] <xangua> andreb: to the Main server
[00:09] <NickWeber> Does anyone know why i can't install ubuntu 10.10 on my IBM Aptiva?
[00:09] <andreb> its an the main server atm with those errors
[00:09] <andreb> i am using kpackagekit as the software manager
[00:10] <NickWeber> Does anyone know why i can't install ubuntu 10.10 on my IBM Aptiva?
[00:10] <jrib> NickWeber: 10.10 is no longer supported
[00:10] <wilee-nilee> NickWeber, 10.10 is end of life.
[00:10] <NickWeber> Oh.
[00:10] <andreb> jrib i cant seemt o copy andf paste the whoe output :(
[00:10] <NickWeber> I'm downloading 12.04.1, But it will take a long time
[00:11] <andreb> xaguna i have it looking for the best servers by doing a "select best server"
[00:11] <NickWeber>  Sadly
[00:11] <jrib> andreb: copy as much as you can, starting from the end
[00:11] <NickWeber> You could use pastebin, Also
[00:11] <NickWeber> andreb: you could paste in on pastebin then paste the link here
[00:12] <wilee-nilee> NickWeber, Are you sure that computer has enough you need a gig of ram at the least and the kernels are pae, I don't think it will run on that unit.
[00:12] <andreb> jribguys i have been posted the paste bin links .
[00:13] <Fernest> how can I remove the last three characters ".py" from a variable in the shell?
[00:14] <jrib> Fernest: ${var%.py}
[00:15] <sstan_at_home> basename ?
[00:16] <sstan_at_home> basename /u/dee/desktop/cns.boo .boo
[00:16] <sstan_at_home> results in : cns
[00:16] <Fernest> jrib: thanks!
[00:17] <Fernest> jrib: what language is it, so I can search for further questions?
[00:18] <jrib> Fernest: bash substring removal I guess.  Try #bash for some good bash resources (see topic there)
[00:18] <Fernest> Ok
[00:18] <jrib> Fernest: note that sstan_at_home gave  you an alternative
[00:19] <sstan_at_home> jrib: not as specific as yours ... but certainly valid, and potentially more useful
[00:19] <Fernest> yes. but you gave me the universal solution :-)
[00:20] <sstan_at_home> Fernest: are you new to Bash ?
[00:21] <Fernest> Before today I did not knew about the use of it.
[00:21] <kraetzja> my xorg.conf just got messed up and i lost all resolutions but minimum, whats the fix?
[00:21] <Fernest> but now I am amazed!
[00:21] <jrib> !cli | Fernest
[00:21] <Dr_willis> kraetzja,  see if theres a backup xorg.conf in /etc/ but in most cases the system should auto configure if there is no xorg.conf
[00:21] <sstan_at_home> Fernest: it can do wonders :)
[00:22] <Fernest> Yes. Very useful. I wrote some git short-cuts some hours ago.
[00:22] <Fernest> something like:
[00:22] <Fernest> ftodo load_database do_calculations write_files (which creates three new feature branches and such)
[00:23] <Fernest> or some other f____ commands for all those git commands I use dayly
[00:23] <sstan_at_home> Fernest: a tip : find how to use the "source" command. Useful if your scripts become too huge
[00:24] <oren_> Hey guys big problem here (hope you don't mind a lot of text) : I had dual booted Ubuntu and Linux before but my Windows partition got that new Java exploit trojan thing and it got completely trashed so I thought I'd try and reinstall windows, tried that but it didn't work at all (kept resetting itself as soon as it loaded windows) so I thought "bugger it, I'll just install Ubuntu as the only OS", so I got my usb key, loaded up
[00:24] <oren_> ubuntu and reinstalled it over my old Ubuntu (which I could no longer get into because the windows installation ruined the grub thing) and it installed on my 350gb drive or whatever it was and all was fine for a while until I reset my computer and nothing loaded at all, until I booted from the same USB key that I had to install ubuntu. Now I can only load my ubuntu via that usb key (but! you might think that I installed it on the
[00:24] <oren_> USB, but I obviously didn't because I remember reinstalling Ubuntu over my old existant ubuntu that I just could no longer get into because grub was dead and even when I take the key out, it's absolutely fine). What is going wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated
[00:24] <FloodBot1> oren_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:24] <Fernest> sstan_at_home: ok I will. Although I will start learning with small things. Like "Run a certain python function in the current document of gedit"
[00:25] <sstan_at_home> cool! good luck
[00:25] <chaterz> Naz
[00:25] <jrib> !grub | oren_
[00:25] <oren_> that doesn't help at all
[00:25] <jrib> oren_: try just restoring grub, though it's not clear what your situation is exactly
[00:25] <oren_> I can only load my ubuntu via the usb key
[00:25] <jrib> oren_: so you've reinstalled grub to your hard drive?
[00:26] <oren_> no
[00:26] <oren_> I just want ubuntu as my sole OS
[00:26] <jrib> oren_: well that's what the first link tells you.
[00:26] <pepee> oren_, I think you installed grub on the USB drive. when you do that, the old grub install doesn't work anymore
[00:26] <burnt> hi, can I get some command line help? its probably pretty simple ... in a bash script, if the command line ... youtube-dl --get-title (url) gets a title of a youtube video ... how can I assign that to a variable
[00:26] <Dr_willis> that boot-repair tool is very handy to have also. it can fix a lot of grub issues
[00:27] <Fernest> sstan_at_home: ok. finished :-D
[00:27] <oren_> okay
[00:27] <oren_> I'll try that guys
[00:27] <oren_> thanks for the advice
[00:27] <Fernest> here the code for it:
[00:27] <Fernest> f=${GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME%.py} a=`zenity --entry --title="Run Python Function - gedit" --text="Function to run"` python -c "import $f; test.$a"
[00:27] <j`ey> is it possible to get a newer gcc on 9.04 *easily*?
[00:27] <pepee> oren_, make sure you are installing in the hard drive
[00:27] <Dr_willis> burnt,     You mean use a variable  for 'URL' ?
[00:27] <Fernest> ups. typo
[00:27] <Fernest> f=${GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME%.py} a=`zenity --entry --title="Run Python Function - gedit" --text="Function to run"` python -c "import $f; $f.$a"
[00:27] <burnt> no a variable for what it returns
[00:27] <burnt> eg, it returns "nasa talk"
[00:27] <sstan_at_home> burnt: variable=` some command here `
[00:28] <jrib> Fernest: since you are a "newborn" in linux (what a wonderful time), I will also send you the rute book which, although some parts are outdated, is very comprehensive and gives you a preview of many powerful aspects of linux: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
[00:28] <arand> burnt: or VARIABLE=$(youtube-dl --get-title <url>)
[00:28] <Dr_willis> burnt,  MYVAR=$(thecommand)
[00:28] <Dr_willis> bash basics ;) well not basics.. but rather fundamental
[00:28] <arand> burnt: either `*` or $(*) works interchangably
[00:29] <Dr_willis> $() is a little differnt then `` but i cant recall how.. but it definatly IS easier to read. :)
[00:29] <burnt> thanks ... im trying to edit this script ... http://jeffreyv.hubpages.com/hub/Youtube-to-MP3-on-Ubuntu-Linux ... so typing the url only downloads the mp3 and renames the mp3 on title of video
[00:29] <jrib> j`ey: 9.04 is not supported anymore, time to upgrade
[00:29] <jrib> !upgrade > j`ey
[00:29] <jrib> Dr_willis: afaik the only difference is you can't nest ``
[00:29] <wilee-nilee> oren_, So you are in the ubuntu install via the usb booting you in?
[00:29] <j`ey> I dont want to go through the hassle of doing that
[00:29] <Fernest> jrib: Thank you. I will look into it. Although I am not new to linux. Before today I never had enough time to experiment with all the stuff like bash scripts (I often used python to do the stuff which could be done with bash scripts, just because I had no time to learn the syntax)
[00:29] <j`ey> (at this point in time)
[00:29] <jrib> j`ey: well 9.04 is not supported, so there's no support...
[00:30] <j`ey> jrib: no *official* support
[00:30] <jrib> Fernest: ah
[00:30] <oren_> wilee-nilee: I installed ubuntu to my hard drive (350gb) over my old ubuntu (apparently that's what the install said) but I can only run it when the USB live ubuntu thing is inserted
[00:30] <oren_> for whatever reason
[00:30] <wilee-nilee> oren_, So you are booted to the install right?
[00:30] <oren_> yeah
[00:31] <andreb> xaguna i got it to work
[00:31] <wilee-nilee> oren_, run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the results, we can load the mbr from the desktop.
[00:31] <oren_> alrighty
[00:31] <jrib> andreb: by the way, when you post a pastebin, you need to give the link in the channel
[00:32] <oren_> a link to the channel?
[00:32] <Pazzie> d
[00:33] <andreb> jrib i figured it out.. the http: link it was using had an extra "/" ... its passed the point it was sticking at
[00:33] <oren_> the fdisk thing isn't very big, is is possible to paste here?
[00:33] <WeThePeople> hi
[00:34] <wilee-nilee> oren_, is it showing sda as the HD?
[00:34] <jrib> andreb: cool... but how/where did you remove the extra "/"?
[00:34] <oren_> I'm not sure, I'll just pastebin it
[00:34] <wilee-nilee> oren_, cool
[00:34] <resno> im trying to setup appletv remote with ubuntu, anyone know how?
[00:34] <oren_> (sorry not so good with this stuff)
[00:35] <wilee-nilee> !pastebin
[00:36] <nevada>  i am lord nikon slackware server1 it is me nevada smith
[00:37] <oren_> here we go http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205944/
[00:38] <oren_> though, I thought my HD was 500gb in total...
[00:38] <wilee-nilee> oren_, cool so from that install not a live cd open a terminal and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda   then sudo update-grub    yoiu should be able to boot from the HD then.
[00:38] <pepee> andreb, could you upgrade ubuntu?
[00:39] <oren_> wilee-nilee, thanks man - Do you have any idea where the rest of my hd went though?
[00:39] <wilee-nilee> oren_, not really install gparted and have a look.
[00:39] <oren_> is that in the repositories?
[00:40] <oren_> ah apprently it is
[00:40] <wilee-nilee> oren_, yeah sudo apt-get install gparted  looks like 320 gigs though as read
[00:40] <ryty> anyone recall the command to remove parentship of a terminal to a process started from that terminal?
[00:41] <oren_> wilee-nilee, ah okay... I'll install gparted and see what I can do about this bad boy
[00:41] <wilee-nilee> oren_, cool have fun. ;)
[00:42] <oren_> alrighty, lets look at this gparted thingo
[00:42] <oren_> very interesting
[00:43] <oren_> it just shows those ones that fdisk did
[00:43] <oren_> but I know this HD is 500gb
[00:44] <wilee-nilee> oren_, you can take a screenshot of gparted and put it in a imagebin if you would like us to look at it.
[00:44] <oren_> alright
[00:44] <jrib> ryty: disown
[00:44] <unless__> How do I figure the distribution name of the Ubuntu version I am running at my computer now?
[00:44] <wilee-nilee> http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[00:44] <jrib> unless__: lsb_release -c
[00:44] <unless__> jrib, thank you.
[00:45] <oren_> http://imagebin.org/228468
[00:45] <wilee-nilee> oren_, looks like 320 gigs from here.
[00:45] <oren_> yep
[00:46] <resno> anyone know much about lirc around?
[00:46] <oren_> hmm
[00:46] <oren_> ah wait
[00:46] <oren_> apparently it is 320gb
[00:46] <ryty> jrib, thank you
[00:46] <oren_> ...that was my other laptop
[00:46] <oren_> *slaps head*
[00:46] <wilee-nilee> oren_, hehe.
[00:47] <bekor> hi using ubuntu 12.04 after update lost my compiz windows effects on my gnome classic desktop, any suggestions?
[00:47] <oren_> wilee-nilee, alright I'll reset my laptop now and see what happens
[00:47] <oren_> thanks for your help man
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> oren_, cool you must mean reset the bios, no problem.
[00:48] <WeThePeople> bekor, can you access the compix gui
[00:48] <pepee> resno, there is a lirc channel:  #lirc
[00:48] <bekor> sorry how do i do that?
[00:48] <WeThePeople> bekor, maybe use the hud and type  compiz
[00:48] <WeThePeople> i am on lucid
[00:49] <bekor> sorry what is hud?
[00:49] <resno> pepee: haha, why didnt i think of that?
[00:49] <unless__> Is it too bad if I add a line at /etc/apt/sources.list in order to upgrade virtualbox since it moved from non-free to contrib?
[00:49] <Dr_willis> you can use the command 'compiz --replace' or 'compiz --restart' to restart compiz if it crashes
[00:50] <Dr_willis> unless__,  normally one uses the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/files one per new repo.
[00:50] <pepee> resno, I remember using lirc, but I don't remember what I did :(
[00:50] <Dr_willis> the vbox guide shows how to install it from the vbox homepage i belive
[00:50] <Dr_willis> !vbox
[00:51] <unless__> Dr_willis, yes, and thats exactly what it says.
[00:51] <drupin> I want to install the OS what i should keep the partition sizes on 8GB flash drive
[00:51] <unless__> Dr_willis, "Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list: "
[00:51] <Dr_willis> they may have ppa instructions also. Ive not needed the vbox from their homepage in ages.
[00:51] <Dr_willis> why do you need it?
[00:52] <wilee-nilee> drupin, a full install?
[00:52] <drupin> yes wilee-nilee
[00:52] <unless__> Dr_willis, what do you mean? VB?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> unless__,  its in the repos last i looked..
[00:52] <Rezzah> wilee-nilee, hey it's Oren here - it works!
[00:52] <wilee-nilee> drupin, I would make one partition for the OS one for swap if you need a swap.
[00:52] <Rezzah> thanks so much for your help
[00:52] <wilee-nilee> Rezzah, cool.
[00:52] <unless__> Dr_willis, yes, it is but not updated.
[00:52] <Dr_willis> the extension pack is about the only extra thing i needed.
[00:52] <wilee-nilee> no problem Rezzah
[00:53] <Dr_willis> unless__,  so what newer feature does it have that you need?
[00:53] <drupin> wilee-nilee: and boot?
[00:53] <Rezzah> wilee-nilee, much much appreciated
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> drupin, boot will go to the mbr.
[00:54] <drupin> ok wilee-nilee so i dont keep a seperate /boot partion .. what is good swap size
[00:54] <wilee-nilee> drupin, YOu want to do a manual something other install make sure grub is pointed at the usb like sdb etc whatever it is no partitions for grub.
[00:54] <unless__> Dr_willis, good question.
[00:54] <Dr_willis> drupin,  if using suspend/sleep = about the size of ram + a littlebit  is common.
[00:55] <wilee-nilee> drupin, The swap normally is equal to the ram if you want to hibernate, what is your ram and do you need a hibernate?
[00:56] <drupin> dr_jesus_: wilee-nilee: hibernate ya means keep idle
[00:57] <drupin> ohh that the reason current install is freezing now... swap is now 1GB and ram is 2.5GB
[00:57] <wilee-nilee> suspend does not y=use the swap I believe only hibernate, which I think now has to be turned on.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> I got less then 10 sec boot times. :) i dont use any of them.
[00:58] <drupin> my current install crashes if too much apps loaded
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> Dr_willis, you left out the nah nah nah nah nah
[00:58] <Dr_willis> swap=ram is a safe bet. if you have 'just' 2.5 gb of ram.. you may want  3gb of swap
[00:58] <Dr_willis> Its amuseing when the POST testing takes longer then the OS booting
[00:59] <drupin> will then 5 GB good for the rest of OS
[00:59] <Dr_willis> 5gb for / ? thats way tiny.
[00:59] <Dr_willis> perhaps doable.. but i wouldent think you would get much work done
[00:59] <drupin> coz flash drive is 8GB
[01:00] <unless__> Is it possible to download Ubuntu using wget command?
[01:00] <blackshirt> it was enought if other part reside on another partition
[01:00] <blackshirt> Unless, yes
[01:00] <jagginess> unless__,  is it possible to walk on water? :)
[01:00] <Dr_willis> You can put swap file or partion on a hard disk on the internal drives. :)
[01:00] <unless__> blackshirt, and how do I figure the URL ?
[01:00] <Dr_willis> or a seperate USB
[01:00] <drupin> unless__: there is pozilla better than wget to resume also and it splits files also
[01:01] <Dr_willis> drupin,  picked up a 32gb usb flash just today on sale for $20
[01:01] <unless__> jagginess, well, haven't minded over it, right?
[01:01] <blackshirt> unless, you can copy link address from ubuntu iso
[01:01] <blackshirt> And pass it to wget
[01:01] <jagginess> drupin, if you load alot of apps in memory and your system freezes. Try running a memory test.
[01:01] <unless__> drupin, where do I find more info about it?
[01:02] <blackshirt> Unless_ i have doing that more than twice
[01:02] <drupin> i never did that jagginess but i went the recovery mode so many times
[01:02] <jagginess> drupin, well if you never done that, then I guess everybody says something not worthy :).. SO TRY IT :)
[01:02] <VinnyAtaide> hey, is this the place recommended for resolving ubuntu instalation problems?
[01:03] <MonkeyDust> VinnyAtaide  yes
[01:03] <VinnyAtaide> okay, can I just type it here? it`s pretty simple
[01:04] <VinnyAtaide> I've just installed windows, it took all my HD (600gb) so I've shrinked 100gb for linux, but my ubuntu instalation isn't recognizing
[01:04] <VinnyAtaide> It says that I dont have any SO installed
[01:05] <wilee-nilee> VinnyAtaide, can you boot to anything?
[01:05] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, um.. i hope you used a simple gui tool to shrink your partitions, like gparted live cd..
[01:05] <VinnyAtaide> Yeah I boot windows normally
[01:05] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, well you must of chosen the option of using the whole drive for ubuntu
[01:05] <Dr_willis> VinnyAtaide,  is that 100gb partion unallocated? or in a ntfs filesystem?
[01:05] <tao> hi, all https websites are not working for me, bank, fb, etc please help
[01:05] <tao> i am using wifi connection
[01:05] <drupin> unless__: a min
[01:05] <VinnyAtaide> I've used the windows built-in partition manager
[01:05] <unless__> drupin, ok
[01:06] <ryty> tao, which browser?
[01:06] <VinnyAtaide> its unnalocated
[01:06] <tao> ryty,  fire fox
[01:06] <Dr_willis> VinnyAtaide,   use the custome/somthing else   item in the installer to delete that 100gb partion and partion it how you want.
[01:06] <wilee-nilee> VinnyAtaide, you resized ubuntu with the windows partitioner?
[01:06] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, when you use-> fdisk -l<enter> does it say "loopback" anywhere?
[01:06] <ryty> tao, when you say not working, what do you mean exactly?
[01:06] <Dr_willis> VinnyAtaide,  also be sure you dont have more then the 4 primary partions limitation
[01:07] <VinnyAtaide> I've installed windows first, so I've used the windows built-in partition manager to shrink 100gb from my HD
[01:07] <VinnyAtaide> What's strange is that Ubuntu doesn't even recognize the windows at all, it's just a big 600gb partition
[01:07] <VinnyAtaide> ok
[01:07] <Dr_willis> fdisk -l information may shed some light on it
[01:07] <MonkeyDust> VinnyAtaide  are you now in windows or in a ubuntu live session?
[01:07] <VinnyAtaide> ubuntu live session
[01:08] <drupin> unless__: http://ashu-geek.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-install-prozilla-download.html
[01:08] <tao> ryty,  for example when i try to go to https://www.chase.com, i get the prompt, firefox can't establish a connection to server at www.chase.com
[01:08] <blackshirt> vinnyataide, i think you shouldn,t format shrinked partition
[01:08] <unless__> drupin, reading. Thank you.

[01:09] <VinnyAtaide> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1205976/
[01:10] <VinnyAtaide> I've booted from my usb driver
[01:10] <VinnyAtaide> using unetbootin
[01:10] <wilee-nilee> the ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net drupin is only supported up to oneric
[01:10] <drupin> ok
[01:10] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, so you ran the ubuntu installer before from the windows desktop or from cd?

[01:11] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide,  it's normal to have linux installers running from fat32
[01:11] <VinnyAtaide> I had Xubuntu before I deleted all my data to put windows
[01:11] <jagginess> um.. ok VinnyAtaide boy
[01:11] <jagginess> !xubuntu

[01:12] <wilee-nilee> to many helpers here hehe on one problem.
[01:13] <derekv> anyway to finish booting if i'm in initramfs shell due to wrong root uuid
[01:14] <derekv> I tried setting root= and then exit but it just loops
[01:14] <drupin> unless__: http://ashu-geek.blogspot.in/2012/05/prozilla-download-accelerator-and-apt.html
[01:15] <wilee-nilee> derekv, just reinstall grub or use suprgrub to get in and fix it.
[01:15] <wilee-nilee> reinstall to the mbr that is
[01:16] <derekv> I did resintall grub but it copied a in a config from a different machine
[01:16] <derekv> bah i'll just reboot
[01:16] <derekv> just wondered if there was a way to fix it from inside ash
[01:16] <wilee-nilee> derekv, you can manual boot yes.
[01:16] <VinnyAtaide> nobody is answering on xubuntu channel...
[01:16] <Dr_willis> !grub2
[01:17] <unless__> drupin, sounds cool, thank you.
[01:18] <VinnyAtaide> does anyone saw the fdisk that I've posted here? any highlights?

[01:19] <drupin> unless__: use torrent prolly if its available
[01:19] <Dr_willis> or is windows saying its UNFORMATED
[01:19] <VinnyAtaide> ohhhh
[01:19] <VinnyAtaide> Idk, ill check now thanks brb
[01:20] <Dr_willis> delete the partion from ubuntu/fdisk/gparted. and restart theubuntu installer.. it should auto partion theunllocated space
[01:21] <jnix> hey guys.. anyone particularly good with grub2?
[01:22] <bekor> hi friends, using ubuntu 12.04 i have gnome classic as well as ubuntu standard desktop environments recently my windows effects stopped working after a update it seems compiz works, everything but windows effects like magic lamp for example. but everything works fine with the ubuntu unity environment i would rather have all the effects working on gmome classic because i hate unity. any advice?
[01:22] <wilee-nilee> jnix, many are ask your question
[01:22] <jnix> i've cloned my OS disk to the 2nd hard disk in my server. installed lvm2, and redid the partitions and copied the os back over to the newly created lvm.. now i can't get it to boot!
[01:22] <blackshirt> jnix, just ask here,someone with respectable capability would try to help you
[01:22] <jnix> is there something special i have to do to get grub2 to boot from lvm?
[01:22] <unless__> drupin, I can find jigdo and zsync at repositories.
[01:22] <jnix> i'm not using the uuid in grub.cfg, using the /dev/mapper node for mountpoint
[01:23] <unless__> drupin, what do you mean with tey it?
[01:23] <drupin> unless__: i never use it though found this morning only
[01:23] <jnix> i'm just trying to boot into the lvm container now, once i get that i'll get grub2 sorted
[01:24] <unless__> drupin, I also like the idea of torrent format.
[01:24] <jnix> im a RHEL guy, but ubuntu has better openstack support....
[01:24] <drupin> yes
[01:24] <blackshirt> jnix, you were right
[01:24] <blackshirt> Debian too
[01:25] <jnix> course i intend to use rhel vm's but.. :P
[01:25] <jnix> stick with what i know..
[01:25] <asgoo1> looking for some security advice, alright to post a question?
[01:26] <blackshirt> asgoo1, what the problems
[01:26] <MK`> Is there a command to list all folders I am sharing over a network?
[01:28] <drupin> is there any way i can remove the swap and merge in main partition
[01:28] <sankey> ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso   <-- is that a liveCD? It's certainly a CD (700MB), but does it have a live environment?
[01:28] <drupin> try unless__
[01:29] <blackshirt> sankey, usually that was live cd
[01:29] <MK`> drupin, you can repartition your drive, yes
[01:29] <jnix> ha! did a chroot, ran update-grub and it fixed itself
[01:30] <drupin> MK`: how?
[01:30] <jnix> well, thanks anyway! :D appreciate it nonetheless
[01:30] <drupin> will i need go to live mode again MK`
[01:30] <asgoo1> just moved into a house with a load of gamers, already got the internet set up. just wondering to what extent they can monitor my browsing and how private easypeasy is keeping it for me...
[01:31] <MK`> drupin yes, you can't alter a partition you are using.
[01:33] <drupin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206004/ MK`
[01:33] <asgoo1>  whats the best program to keep my wifi data encrypted?
[01:33] <WeThePeople> asgoo1, ssh
[01:34] <WeThePeople> with auth
[01:34] <MK`> you made the first partition extended, drupin?
[01:35] <MK`> in any event you should be able to merge it with the partition after it, just make sure to back up that partition
[01:35] <drupin> i dont know what i did MK`
[01:36] <drupin> point me any article MK`
[01:37] <asgoo1> any1 know about 3d acceleration with poulsbo chipset
[01:37] <MK`> drupin: look up gparted, that's an excellent partitioning tool. It's on the liveCD
[01:38] <drupin> i used it the swap was 1 Gb i reduced it to 500 MB to merge in main partition
[01:38] <drupin> was unable but
[01:38] <drupin> i just want to remove the swap now
[01:38] <drupin> it is freezing my OS
[01:39] <drupin> how i fix this extended one
[01:40] <VinnyPotter> hey, sorry for the time I took, I'm on windows now
[01:40] <VinnyPotter> http://i.imgur.com/dE2o8.png
[01:40] <VinnyPotter> this is the situation of my partition by Windows
[01:40] <VinnyPotter> ops
[01:41] <MK`> drupin you'd need to repartition the whole drive, you can't really move an extended partition around, it'd be a bit risky.
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> dancing_bananas, can you fix your client to stay with nine nick.
[01:41] <drupin> MK`: means mount and all stuff
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> one* nick stringlau
[01:42] <drupin> its not freezing so far
[01:42] <drupin> or the system freezes
[01:45] <bin_bash> Hi there. I have a Crapbook Pro 8,1 and it says on the website that the Thunderbolt port "won't work"
[01:45] <bin_bash> but that's not true
[01:45] <Dr_willis> 'on the website'  meaning......
[01:45] <bin_bash> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty
[01:46] <Dr_willis> if its a wiki page. you can correct/change things.. it maybe for older releases
[01:46] <Dr_willis> theres also a ubuntu docs channel i belive
[01:46] <bin_bash> It's not a wiki page
[01:46] <bin_bash> But the information is incorrect no matter what version you're using.
[01:47] <usr13> bin_bash: It says, "You can contribute to this wiki, see Wiki Guide for details"
[01:48] <bin_bash> Well I'm not going to explain how it works
[01:48] <bin_bash> I just wanted to tell you it was wrong
[01:48] <bin_bash> I don't even use Ewbuntu
[01:48] <usr13> bin_bash: What DO you use?
[01:48] <bin_bash> Arch
[01:48] <Dr_willis> etch-a-sketch? ;)
[01:48] <usr13> Ok, I'm lost....
[01:48] <bin_bash> Already?
[01:49] <bin_bash> That was quick.
[01:49] <wilee-nilee> maybe you could change the wiki to say crapbook
[01:49] <bin_bash> Not everyone thinks Apple is shit
[01:49] <usr13> wilee-nilee: excellent
[01:49] <bin_bash> It might be offensive to some of the hipsters in here.
[01:50] <TorpedoSkyline> <3 Apple
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> no just your rhetoric is all
[01:50] <bin_bash> TorpedoSkyline, your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
[01:51] <usr13> bin_bash: certainly not me.  (I was being facetious.)
[01:51]  * TorpedoSkyline shanks bin_bash with a paper towel holder.
[01:51] <bin_bash> usr13, you asked me what I was using. I said "Arch".
[01:51] <bin_bash> What is so confusing about that
[01:52] <TorpedoSkyline> Arch is like so 1979.
[01:52] <usr13> bin_bash: This is the #ubuntu channel.
[01:52] <bin_bash> TorpedoSkyline, what
[01:52] <bin_bash> usr13, I came in here to correct your data.
[01:52] <TorpedoSkyline> no one in here wants to deal with an OS you have to piece together to run.
[01:52] <usr13> bin_bash: Usually, people here are discussing ubuntu systems.
[01:52] <TorpedoSkyline> bleh.
[01:52] <zester1> Isn't this a support channel? Shouldn't we I don't know...... Talking about support related stuff and not apple bs?
[01:52] <usr13> bin_bash: It is not my data.
[01:52] <TorpedoSkyline> zester1 we should be.
[01:52] <TorpedoSkyline> Take this to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[01:53] <ratcheer> TorpedoSkyline: +1
[01:53] <bin_bash> zester1, it /is/ a support issue because someoe might come in quoting that page and you all will cling to it like some kind of bible
[01:53] <moxie> or #ubuntu-losers
[01:53] <bin_bash> and it's blatantly incorrect.
[01:53] <bin_bash> I use the thunderbolt port to output to my LCD TV
[01:54] <jrib> bin_bash: and you're on natty?
[01:54] <TorpedoSkyline> bin_bash then change it and contribute to society.. stop complaining. xD
[01:54] <TorpedoSkyline> jrib, no Arch.
[01:54] <jrib> TorpedoSkyline: ...
[01:54] <TorpedoSkyline> ikr
[01:54] <usr13> jrib: He is not a Ubuntu user.
[01:54] <bin_bash> jrib, it doesn't matter what I'm using, because it's a kernel issue and it was updated with the 3.4 kernel
[01:55] <jrib> bin_bash: verify it works on the *natty* version of ubuntu (which doesn't have 3.4 iirc), then feel free to fix the page.  Not sure what else you expect here.  This channel is for ubuntu support.
[01:55] <bin_bash> jrib, there's literally no reason that apt-get update shouldn't update the kernel
[01:55] <bin_bash> and if it doesn't
[01:55] <Celso> Hi there! Does sommeone has a bug on the ubuntu 12.04.1 on the left bar that isn't showing the app name when we put the mouse on top of the icon?
[01:55] <bin_bash> then your distro is bad and you should feel bad.
[01:55] <jrib> !sru | bin_bash
[01:55] <Dr_willis> we all feel bad for you bin_bash.
[01:55] <jrib> bin_bash: thanks for your opinion.  Do you have an ubuntu support issue we can help you with?
[01:56] <TorpedoSkyline> bin_bash. Thank you for the information. Your job of notifying the Ubuntu community is complete.
[01:56] <bkc_> bin_bash: stop bitching... you're giving Arch-users a bad reputation! -.-
[01:56] <zester1> I just don't want to see any more fighting ;) I see enough of it other places.
[01:56]  * wilee-nilee loves the ignore
[01:56] <TorpedoSkyline> loser.
[01:57] <Celso> Does sommeone has a bug on ubuntu 12.04.1 on the left bar that isn't showing the app name when we put the mouse on top of the icon?
[01:57] <Dr_willis> Celso,  just a few apps or all apps?
[01:58] <Celso> almost all but its random
[01:58] <zester1> Celso: What graphics card and driver are you using? Intel, Ati, Nvidia. OSS or Binary Blob?
[01:58] <delinquentme> cp is the copy/paste command ja???
[01:58] <Dr_willis> Celso,  ive not heard anyone else mention it.  was wondering if it was just Java apps. :)
[01:58] <Dr_willis> delinquentme,  cp copies..
[01:59] <Dr_willis> delinquentme,  man cp    for details of it.
[01:59] <Celso> with the intel 3000HD card and intel i3 processor
[01:59] <Dr_willis> paste - is more of a 'move/rename' operation.
[01:59] <zester1> Do they flicker?
[01:59] <Celso> hum...  weird....
[01:59] <Celso> nope
[02:00] <Celso> if i put the mouse, sometimes it shows, sometimes not....
[02:00] <Celso> but with the 2D version i am not having it
[02:00] <Celso> anny problem
[02:01] <zester1> Try upgrading your ubuntu, sounds like a bug with compositing.
[02:01] <Celso> i am using ubuntu 12.04.1 full updated
[02:02] <wilee-nilee> Celso, You might try resetting the unity desktop, have you tweaked it in any way?
[02:02] <Dr_willis> test with a newly made user.
[02:02] <Celso> nop. just installed the pc, and installed the updates and the language. nothing more.
[02:03] <Celso> maybe something related to a bug on language pack?
[02:04] <zester1> No that wouldnt be it.
[02:05] <zester1> Its more than likely a bug in unity's compiz. I have no idea why they choose that as a foundation for unity it has always been extreamly buggy.
[02:07] <Celso> showld i report it?
[02:07] <zester1> Yes I would
[02:07] <VinnyAtaide> hello, it's me again, sorry for bothering you guys for so long
[02:07] <Celso> ok. i will report it.
[02:08] <Celso> thanks for the help
[02:08] <zester1> Sorry we could be more help ;)
[02:08] <VinnyAtaide> I have a screenshot from my windows partition manager showing all my partitions. I hope this way the situation could be better for me. I don't wanna delete my windows files
[02:08] <zester1> could = couldn't
[02:08] <Celso> no problem
[02:09] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, well backup your stuff.. cuse the xubuntu installer is not something i ever tried (you should try #xubuntu if you're using xubuntu)
[02:09] <Celso> i was searching for this bug but didn't find anything so, i was wondering if anyone here would hear something about it
[02:09] <wilee-nilee> VinnyAtaide, the windows partitioner will leave out actual partitions, you want to post a gparted view here.
[02:09] <Celso> or experienced the same bug
[02:09] <zester1> I have experanced it before.
[02:09] <VinnyAtaide> I'm not using Xubuntu, xubuntu was before I formatted with windows
[02:09] <jagginess> VinnyAtaide, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:09] <Celso> really?
[02:09] <usr13> jagginess: It is not different from the Ubuntu installer.
[02:10] <zester1> A few times I just switched to using a differant window manager.
[02:10] <jagginess> usr13, maybe, but I never used it.
[02:10] <VinnyAtaide> yeah, ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu share the same installer
[02:10] <VinnyAtaide> http://i.imgur.com/dyBXN.png
[02:10] <Celso> and how you got it fixed?
[02:11] <VinnyAtaide> can you see the link that I've posted?
[02:11] <zester1> Ummm I bought a Nvidia card and used the binary drivers from nvidia or you could try a differant wndow manager like xfwin
[02:12] <Gycklarn> When I use apt-get upgrade, are my nvidia drivers updated as well? I never thought about it until now.
[02:12] <zester1>  VinnyAtaide: How do you propose your going to backup 400+GB of data?
[02:12] <zester1> Yes
[02:13] <blackshirt> gycklarn, no,you should reinstall nvidia driver again
[02:13] <VinnyAtaide> I would, but it's funky, thanks guys I'll learn by myself and if I find the answer I'll post here =)
[02:13] <zester1> No one here installed when you upgrade if there is an avalable update its installed.
[02:14] <allan_> Hi, I has installed Xubuntu on my PC but I Like Ubuntu Desktop
[02:14] <zester1> blackshirt: What makes you think you have to re-install NV drivers when you update. I
[02:15] <usr13> allan_: install ubuntu-desktop
[02:15] <allan_> How I can Install the Ubuntu Desktop?
[02:15] <zester1> Download normal ubuntu would be the easyest way.
[02:15] <chrisward> Running apt-get upgrade on x64 ubuntu, and a few packages are being held back and no reason is provided anyone know how to fix/isn't a problem? Apt output: http://pastebin.com/FBxeMKCy
[02:15] <Celso> ok. i will report it. thanks guys!
[02:15] <jagginess> allan_, you mean um unity?
[02:15] <allan_> Ubuntu Desktop or GNome, What is the best?
[02:15] <jagginess> allan_, again here with ya man.. I have no idea if unity is on xubuntu!!!!!
[02:16] <VinnyAtaide> xubuntu have xfce
[02:16] <usr13> jagginess: Sure it is.   Apt output: http://pastebin.com/FBxeMKCy
[02:17] <allan_> Sorry is x86
[02:17] <trism> chrisward: the openjdk-7 update added new dependant packages, you need to: apt-get dist-upgrade; to pull them in
[02:18] <chrisward> thank you
[02:18] <delinquentme> SOOoooo I've got a rather large copy/paste operation going on ... on a server I'm SSHed into .. and I'm wondering about the progress
[02:18] <allan_> Gnome is best for me?
[02:18] <allan_> I have 1GB RAM
[02:18] <delinquentme> is there a better way to have done a cp operation ... something perhaps a bit more transparent as to what happening?
[02:18] <delinquentme> ALSO .. is a CP operation a heavy thing in an ubuntu OS?
[02:19] <chrisward> trism, worked, thanks *gives cookie*
[02:19] <natw1ck> exit
[02:19] <trism> chrisward: yum
[02:19] <zester1>  You guys want to see my Desktop Environment?  Its my own custom creation everything written from scratch by me :)
[02:19] <zester1> From the window manager on down.
[02:19] <allan_> What is the best for me?: Unity or Gnome Desktops?
[02:20] <VinnyAtaide> the best way is just reinstall ubuntu, if you install ubuntu on xubuntu you're gonna have a bad time with the many options of softwares that do the same thing (my opinion =p)
[02:20] <Wildbat> is there a log for crontab ~ i have set one to auto update but it don't seems to working ~ how should i debug it ?
[02:20] <bball-> how can I install gcc-3 on ubuntu 12.04 ?

[02:20] <bball-> that installs gcc-4.6
[02:21] <bball-> and the oldest version in the repo seems to be gcc-4.4
[02:21] <Gycklarn> Wildbat, You could always check /var/syslog
[02:21] <allan_> Ubuntu 12.10 requires PAE?
[02:21] <OerHeks> bball-, why do you need that old stuff ?
[02:21] <bball-> gcc-4.x can't buidl wireshark
[02:21] <bball-> the compielrs crash
[02:21] <Gycklarn> Wildbat, What command have you set it to run?
[02:22] <bball-> I've tried both 4.4 and 4.6 with the same result
[02:22] <OerHeks> !info wireshark
[02:22] <OerHeks> it is in the repo's
[02:22] <bball-> I need to build it from source
[02:22] <allan_> Help Me!!
[02:22] <bball-> I'm making modifications to the code..
[02:23] <bball-> and I need a recent version (cloned from the git repo)
[02:23] <OerHeks> bball-, if the compiler 'crash' or end with an error, the error inclides the solution

[02:24] <zester1> This is what 1-1/2 years of work looks like writing a "Window Manager, Desktop, Desktop Panel" from scratch using Qt https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NqwiT4QUODs/UFPmcBMZcdI/AAAAAAAAAaI/wk9Q21h4kTE/s747/Untitled.png
[02:25] <zester1> Fastest/Most responsive Linux DE that exists to date ;)
[02:25] <bball-> the solution is to install gcc-3.x :-)
[02:26] <VinnyAtaide> http://i.imgur.com/3vZva.png !!! look at this, the system itself see all my files but the installer don't!
[02:28] <OerHeks> VinnyAtaide,  the installer does not see windows files.
[02:28] <zester1> It should detect that window is installed.
[02:28] <allan_> thanks for the link
[02:28] <VinnyAtaide> I mean not the files, just the partition, it should have the option to install next to windows
[02:29] <allan_> Ubuntu Requires kernel PAE?
[02:29] <allan_> 12.10
[02:29] <OerHeks> VinnyAtaide, did you select the right hdd ?
[02:29] <zester1>  VinnyAtaide: Correct it should.

[02:30] <allan_> How I can Uninstalla Xfce Desktop when I have Ubuntu desktop?
[02:30] <maverick> hello all
[02:30] <maverick> am having this peculiar problem with my ubuntu 11.10
[02:30] <zester1> Vinny: Try restarting the ubuntu install cd can act funny sometimes.
[02:30] <OerHeks> VinnyAtaide, then is must be something else, like your Sata hdd is set in the bios to IDE mode. change it to AHCI
[02:31] <VinnyAtaide> I just did 3 times
[02:31] <morgan> how do I remove 3d unity and install 2d unity D:
[02:31] <OerHeks> morgan, log out, change gdm to unity 2D and log back in again.
[02:31] <zester1> morgan: You dont 2D unity is discontinued do to a bunch of problems
[02:31] <wilee-nilee> morgan, 2d is already there in a dropdown at login, you can't just remove the 3d.
[02:31] <morgan> i tried that, I don't see the 2d
[02:32] <zester1> I wouldnt do it ;) Trust me its even worse than 3D
[02:32] <morgan> there is only 'Ubuntu' in the drop down thing
[02:32] <wilee-nilee> may be gone not sure really
[02:32] <morgan> I dono all of a sudden everything is kinda laggy and I've just re-installed the nvidia drivers
[02:32] <VinnyAtaide> I'm gonna check what 0erHeks said

[02:34] <solifugus> I lost my irc password.. how can I have it mailed to me?
[02:34] <OerHeks> maverick, click the 3 pencils next to the white house, for more programs
[02:34] <morgan> should I try using the driver from nvidia.com or should I use whatever is recommended in system settings > additional drivers ?
[02:34] <maverick> it's not that :)
[02:34] <OerHeks> morgan, use additional drivers, so you get updates
[02:34] <maverick> i used to get in full screen
[02:35] <IdleOne> solfijoin #freenode and ask them to send a reset email.
[02:35] <IdleOne> solifugus: ^
[02:35] <maverick> now only half of the screen
[02:36] <wilee-nilee> maverick, see the 3 buttons in the top left corner.
[02:37] <maverick> thanks wilee.. :) solved
[02:37] <Gycklarn> If I want to discuss unity vs cinnamon on ubuntu, is this the place? Or should I go somewhere else, like #ubuntu-offtopic ? I'm still trying to figure out my bearings.
[02:37] <wilee-nilee> maverick, no problem.
[02:37] <maverick> it didn't occur to me that we can minimize that too XD
[02:37] <maverick> it's not in windows :P

[02:38] <zester1> Gycklarn: Ill talk custom desktops but im not interested in eather of those ;)
[02:38] <maverick> can any one tell me how to  add my oracle drivers to ubuntu?

[02:40] <maverick> please check this :)

[02:42] <maverick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206068/
[02:42] <chew> (I tried it without installinng then install with programs running alongside)
[02:42] <maverick> please check this ppl :)
[02:42] <L1> I'm writing a shell script = how can I put the output of a command into a variable? I have:   status = $(sudo service mysql status)  echo $status     but it doesn't seem to be working
[02:42] <wilee-nilee> maverick, This might help there is also a ppa for installing the oracle java 7 as well.
[02:42] <wilee-nilee> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

[02:44] <L1> trism: Thanks. Gycklarn: That was the issue - working now, thank you very much :)
[02:45] <OerHeks> VinnyAtaide, then i have no explanation why the installer does not see your windows partitions.
[02:46] <maverick> i think i need to add a class path..
[02:46] <VinnyAtaide> haha, I will find brother
[02:46] <VinnyAtaide> It has to do with the Xubuntu I had before installing windows. It changed my HDD forever =p

[02:48] <maverick> anyone?? :)
[02:48] <Nullzero> So i'm not sure where to go from there if I can't even see the hardware
[02:48] <maverick> which broadcomm drivers are you using NullZero
[02:49] <Nullzero> right now none are installed as far as I can see
[02:49] <maverick> post your lspci output
[02:49] <OerHeks> Nullzero, is it a laptop, with a FN key to disable wireless ?
[02:49] <Nullzero> physical slider
[02:49] <maverick> or a hardware key
[02:49] <Nullzero> its in the on position

[02:59] <Faithful> Hey guys VirtualBox looks real ugly in 12.04.1 Desktop.  The screen draws are terrible
[02:59] <Nullzero-laptop_> No broadcom coming up which is what this latptop uses from all the other pavillion dv6000
[02:59] <Nullzero-laptop_> posts i've been seeing
[02:59] <jamesw> what is overhead of an encrypted home folder? i see my home folder taking up as much space as th e encrypted version, is it as simple as that, the price is that you have to have an encrypted copy of everything? or am i misreading?
[03:00] <Nullzero-laptop_> I found one post from someone who had the same issue but it was never solved.
[03:04] <lotuspsychje> Nullzero-laptop_:whats the default Os on that laptop?
[03:04] <Nullzero-laptop_> Vista
[03:05] <wilee-nilee> Nullzero-laptop_, Here is a 12.04 link. http://askubuntu.com/questions/125529/wireless-doesnt-work-on-a-broadcom-bcm4312
[03:05] <lotuspsychje> Nullzero-laptop_:did you install broadcom drivers correclty?
[03:06] <Nullzero-laptop_> There are no drivers installed at all, I don't know which ones to use because it doesn't show up in lspci
[03:07] <lotuspsychje> Nullzero-laptop_:try the additional drivers section, or software centre or synaptics
[03:07] <Nullzero-laptop_> All I know is that this laptop normally uses a broadcom wireless card
[03:07] <miraj> must not count as pci, maybe it counts as pcmcia or cardbus?
[03:07] <Nullzero-laptop_> any way I can find out?
[03:07] <miraj> pcmciautils
[03:08] <Nullzero-laptop_> command not found, not part of the standard install?
[03:08] <miraj> I thought it was a standard package
[03:09] <Nullzero-laptop_> yeah it says its installed
[03:12] <Nullzero-laptop_> found it lspcmcia
[03:12] <Nullzero-laptop_> no output
[03:12] <miraj> sorry, it was just an idea
[03:13] <bekor> hi using ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic. some how compiz not fully functional somehow, windows animations  not working anymore
[03:13] <xkill> somehow
[03:14] <Nullzero-laptop_> so that's basically where I am at.  If i had anything in lspci i'm pretty sure I would have had this working, but since its not in there at all I'm out of ideas
[03:15] <bkc_> Nullzero-laptop_: tried lsusb?
[03:15] <miraj> has anyne else with that model got it working with any distro of linux?
[03:15] <Nullzero-laptop_> bkc hub and camera
[03:16] <Nullzero-laptop_> yes, from what i'm reading in the forums everyone else has a broadcom wireless adapter
[03:16] <Nullzero-laptop_> and then they just have to install the correct drivers
[03:16] <xkill> ndis wrapper?
[03:17] <miraj> you said the wireless had a physical switch?
[03:17] <Nullzero-laptop_> Only one thread I saw had someone without anythign in his lspci output and there was no solution on that one
[03:17] <Nullzero-laptop_> yep
[03:17] <Nullzero-laptop_> first thing I checked was to make sure it was in the on position
[03:17] <miraj> what happens if you jiggle the switch a little?
[03:18] <xkill> is the card PnP compliant? is this a super old card? is the cardbus? is the laptop ancient?
[03:18] <Fernest> not a question about ubuntu, but does one know, why I can't send messages to channels like #python and #c++ ?
[03:19] <xkill> are you registered and identified?
[03:19] <bkc_> Fernest: are you registerd with NickServ?
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> !register | Fernest
[03:19] <Fernest> This was quick! I love this channel :-) Thanks guys
[03:19] <peepsalot> how do i configure the actions that ubuntu takes when my phone is plugged in over USB
[03:19] <bkc_> peepsalot: udev-rules?
[03:19] <Nullzero-laptop_> laptop isn't ancient, like I said there are a lot of threads with people having driver issues on this laptop but they just needed to correct their drivers, all of them had the card show up in the lspci and it was a broadcom
[03:20] <Nullzero-laptop_> I've cycled the physical switch a few times to see if that was the issue
[03:21] <miraj> is there any chance the power-saving controls has it turned off?
[03:21] <drupin> i am now on the persistence live system
[03:21] <peepsalot> bkc_, i don't see anything related in /etc/udev/rules.d
[03:21] <drupin> i can keep using this?
[03:21] <Nullzero-laptop_> hmm let me check miraj
[03:22] <Nullzero-laptop_> i would have thought even if that were the case it would still see it on the bus
[03:22] <bkc_> peepsalot: nothing there because you havn't put anything there... defaults and so on...
[03:22] <peepsalot> bkc_, rhythmbox automatically opens up, i don't want it to
[03:22] <peepsalot> also nautilus, i don't want anything to open automatically
[03:23] <peepsalot> i actually uninstalled rhytmbox thinking that would stop it.  now vlc opens up
[03:23] <bkc_> peepsalot: that has nothing to do with udev... it's default applications
[03:23] <bkc_> under settings
[03:23] <bitbarron> My Mozilla Thunderbird has started to become unresponsive when I start it up in Ubuntu.  How can I troubleshoot this problem?
[03:24] <miraj> bitbarron : unresponsive in what way(s)?
[03:25] <Nullzero-laptop_> I don't see anythign in the power settings that would point to the wireless
[03:25] <Nullzero-laptop_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206115/
[03:25] <bitbarron> miraj, When I open it, it immediately "hangs", and when I try to quit by clicking the "x", it says it is not responding and asks if I desire to "force quit"
[03:26] <xkill> drupin: you can not re-use disk space. deleting files just gets them out of your face but you dont regain the space
[03:26] <zester1> OMG have you seen the new Redmond Linux Distro!!!!!!!
[03:26] <wilee-nilee> bitbarron, try opening it with the terminal running thunderbird and look for errors
[03:26] <miraj> Nullzero-laptop_ : don't know, it's a mystery. If you have any wifi pc-cards, you could use one of them
[03:27] <bitbarron> miraj, by "hangs", I mean I cannot navigate around the user interface of the program such as move from one email to another, or even open the menus
[03:27] <xkill> it works till you run out of disk space
[03:27] <DracoDanLRPC> how do I set the default runlevel with upstart?
[03:27] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, good idea
[03:27] <drupin> xkill: means once place is blocked so its permanant
[03:27] <peepsalot> bkc_, thanks i found the settings
[03:27] <Nautilus__> anyone familiar with K3b?  How do I make it show hidden files so I can select them?
[03:27] <bkc_> peepsalot: np :)
[03:27] <bkc_> Nautilus__: Alt+.
[03:28] <Nullzero-laptop_> @miraj ok, thanks for the help, I'll have to see if I cna get a usb or pcmcia card
[03:28] <DracoDanLRPC> nevermind
[03:29] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, No errors seem to be coming up in terminal.  Also, the screen dims????
[03:29] <Nullzero-laptop_> exit
[03:29] <xkill> it is very simple to over come the 4GB filesystem limit. use a linux partitioner to partition the drive into a 2GB FAT16 partition and a second ext2 partition as large as you like labeled "casper"  (or "live-rw" if it is debian)
[03:29] <Nautilus__> bkc_: hm, doesnt seem to do it, and I hit refresh after
[03:29] <Nautilus__> bkc_: Is it in the GUI anywhere?
[03:29] <miraj> bitbarron : something must have got corrupted, maybe a virus. mozilla products are bad for that.
[03:29] <bkc_> Nautilus__: 2sec...
[03:30] <wilee-nilee> bitbarron, same look as well? Not sure here really if it was me I would purge it and reinstall, but I keep nothing in my thunderbird.
[03:30] <danmichel> wow, congrats to the folks at Ubuntu. I havent touched Linux in like 5 years. This is amazing
[03:30] <miraj> bitbarron : sylpheed is a pretty good email program ...
[03:30] <danmichel> back in the wobbly windows days
[03:31] <bkc_> Nautilus__: Alt+. works just fine for me... K3b 2.0.2... you have to select the filemanager-part thou
[03:31] <bitbarron> miraj, Really?  Well, what you say is what it seems likely.  I didn't know viruses took hold on mozilla distros running on linux
[03:31] <wilee-nilee> miraj, mozilla products are bad for what?
[03:31] <drupin> xkill: plz i need article on it
[03:31] <xkill> corruption
[03:31] <bkc_> wilee-nilee: memory-leaks... it has more holes than a swiss cheese ...
[03:32] <miraj> mozilla products can be corrupted with specially crafted xml files
[03:32] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, By purge, you simply mean uninstall and reinstall, correct?
[03:32] <Nautilus__> bkc_: huh I just installed this and it's 1.91.0
[03:33] <wilee-nilee> bitbarron, sudo apt-get purge thunderbird   then reinstall
[03:33] <bkc_> Nautilus__: note, that I said <alt>+<dot> as in the key between / and , :)
[03:33] <bkc_> Nautilus__: I'm also assuming you're talking about K3b, the cd/dvd-burner app in KDE :)
[03:33] <wilee-nilee> memory leaks possibly a xml crafted unlikely
[03:34] <Nautilus__> bkc_: I missed the dot!
[03:34] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, Since I am running Thunderbird as IMAP, my emails should all be uneffected, correct?
[03:34] <bkc_> Nautilus__: ;)
[03:34] <Nautilus__> bkc_: that works just fine, thanks!
[03:34] <bkc_> np :)
[03:34] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, By that I mean, I am not deleating all my prior emails.
[03:34] <Nautilus__> wish I could set it as default
[03:34] <wilee-nilee> bitbarron, AS long as they are on the original server no
[03:35] <bitbarron> wilee-nilee, I think that is the case.  It's gmail.
[03:35] <wilee-nilee> bitbarron, I have university address used this way myself.
[03:35] <bkc_> Nautilus__: poor default-value actually :)
[03:36] <Nautilus__> bkc_: nah, if it's off I won't know if I missed something
[03:37] <bkc_> Nautilus__: also... that value is remembered for that directory by the KDE framework... just so you know ;)
[03:37] <miraj> it could be gmail's fault, bad network packets causing tbird to lockup
[03:37] <Nautilus__> bkc_: just the one tho? ugh
[03:38] <bkc_> yes
[03:38] <Nautilus__> bkc_: now I have a symbolic link warning and don't know what to do...4 options :(
[03:38] <bkc_> it's awesome actually :)
[03:38] <bkc_> xD
[03:38] <morgan> what can I do to make the desktop less laggy? D:
[03:38] <bkc_> Nautilus__: you probably want to copy the files then :)
[03:38] <bkc_> morgan: what graphicscard are you using?
[03:38] <blackshirt> morgan, disable some desktop effects
[03:39] <morgan> nvidia gtx 460
[03:39] <morgan> i7 930 @ 4.2 ghz
[03:39] <bkc_> what driver? nouvoue or nvidia?
[03:39] <Nautilus__> bkc_: "Add link to project", I think?
[03:39] <bkc_> morgan: (open source or propeitary)
[03:39] <xkill> dupin; http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/
[03:40] <morgan> proprietary
[03:40] <blackshirt> i thinks, nvidia user gets more trouble compared to intel or ati one
[03:40] <bkc_> Nautilus__: I'm guesing not... that will keep it as a link...
[03:40] <morgan> bkc_, the recommended one
[03:40] <bkc_> morgan: then turn of a few (or many) desktop effects...
[03:40] <morgan> bkc_, ok I'll try that. where/how do I do that please?
[03:41] <bkc_> blackshirt: because Ubuntu havn't up'ed the driver-version yet to >302 -.-
[03:41] <bkc_> >304*
[03:41] <blackshirt> morgan, maybe related to compiz effect
[03:41] <Nautilus__> bkc_: Options: "Follow link now" then? Actually I just have 2 choices, then rest of the 4 add "Always" to the action
[03:41] <blackshirt> bkc_ you are right
[03:41] <morgan> I'd like to turn off all effects etc
[03:41] <bkc_> morgan: I'm guessing you're using unity? then I have no idea :/
[03:42] <bkc_> Nautilus__: yes, that one :)
[03:42] <morgan> correct
[03:42] <blackshirt> morgan, maybe better and test them step by step
[03:42] <bkc_> I'd turn of compiz entirely then, if you're not gonna use it anyway :)
[03:42] <Pedrolito> I'm trying to enable the html 5 mode in youtube, but youtube claims that the firefox 15 in ubuntu doesn't have WebM.  Is that correct?
[03:42] <blackshirt> i mean,add some effect step by step
[03:42] <Nautilus__> bkc_: Thanks!  Looks like it's going now
[03:42] <morgan> i dono what compiz is D: how do I turn it off and on to see the difference
[03:43] <bkc_> Pedrolito: that major BS ^^
[03:43] <bkc_> !compiz
[03:43] <morgan> btw I've been windows user for last 10 years, I've been on Ubunutu for about 5 days now
[03:43] <Pedrolito> bkc, does that mean that the html 5 mode should work without any modifications?
[03:44] <bkc_> morgan: try this in a terminal: metacity --replace
[03:44] <blackshirt> morgan, forf firts time using, you should familiarize your new environment :d
[03:44] <bkc_> Pedrolito: yes
[03:44] <morgan> been trying but I have no idea what stuff is called lol took me a while to fighre out dnome was the GUI
[03:44] <xangua> bkc_: morgan do not
[03:44] <morgan> gnome*
[03:45] <xangua> morgan: bkc_ if you don't want to use compiz log out and select unity 2d in the little ubuntu icon next to your username
[03:45] <wilee-nilee> xangua, good catch I saw that and said what?
[03:45] <morgan> I don't see unity 2d
[03:45] <bkc_> morgan: I'd goto http://wiki.ubuntu.org and http://help.ubuntu.org and pay good attention at the Beginners-section :)
[03:46] <bkc_> xangua: what's wrong with metacity --replace?
[03:46] <roothorick> I'm having an issue where some font glyphs get corrupted when I resume from suspending to RAM. Where do I even begin on this?
[03:46] <blackshirt> morgan what version ubuntu are yoy
[03:46] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: I had trouble getting the YouTube player embedded on a page as HTML5, is that what you're doing?  Have a good reference URL?
[03:46] <blackshirt> morgan what version ubuntu are you  usi ng?
[03:46] <bkc_> xangua: refering to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager#Window_Managers_.26_The_Commands_To_Start_Them_Manually
[03:46] <morgan> 12.04
[03:46] <blackshirt> Morgan, then you arw using unity desktop
[03:47] <Pedrolito> Nautilus__,  yes, I'm trying to have youtube play the videos in html 5 mode, but it doesn't work, I always get the flash mode
[03:47] <morgan> I'm looking in synaptic and unity 2d is not installed
[03:47] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: that was my problem :(
[03:47] <Pedrolito> Nautilus__, how did you fix it?
[03:47] <morgan> is unity like gnome? or they are different?
[03:47] <wilee-nilee> bkc_, unity is a plugin in compiz.
[03:47] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: I haven't.  And it's not just firefox
[03:47] <blackshirt> morgan, they are different thing
[03:48] <bkc_> Pedrolito: actually, html5 is only available to a sub-section of all videos... try another one :)
[03:48] <Nautilus__> bkc_: really? maaaan
[03:48] <bkc_> wilee-nilee: ooh... didn't know that... stoped using ubuntu when they switched to unity ^^
[03:49] <wilee-nilee> bkc_, hehe I used it for awhile. ;)
[03:49] <bkc_> Nautilus__: Pedrolito: however they pop the number by a few thousand each day :)
[03:49] <bkc_> wilee-nilee: I said "s**** this, I'm moving to KDE..." and then "s**** this, I'm moving to Arch" ^^
[03:49] <morgan> as long as I can use Synapse I don't care about unity or launcher or dash or any of that stuff
[03:50] <Nautilus__> bkc_: what about apple users with the many NO Flash devices?
[03:50] <miraj> morgan, you can try other window managers in ubuntu
[03:50] <xangua> !language | bkc_
[03:50] <morgan> miraj, which would you say is the 'lightest'
[03:50] <bkc_> Nautilus__: guess why youtube are moving towards html5 & webm :)
[03:50] <bkc_> xangua: hence the censuring...
[03:51] <xkill> xfce
[03:51] <miraj> morgan, the absolute lightest windows manager would be twm, but you probably wouldn't want to use it
[03:51] <Nautilus__> bkc_: thanks, I've been wondering about that for months
[03:51] <bkc_> xangua: or were you refering to Arch ;)
[03:51] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: we may be out of luck until YT does their thing
[03:52] <miraj> morgan, somewhere in the middle are compromise solutions, like xfce or afterstep
[03:52] <morgan> oh I think I tried xfce in xubuntu and hated it, it was super choppy and laggy for me
[03:52] <Pedrolito> bkc_, you're right, I found a video which allows to use the html5 player, and it's working fine
[03:52] <bkc_> :)
[03:53] <miraj> morgan, don't know what xfce would be choppy and laggy, ubless you've got hw problems. it's got no eye candy extras really
[03:53] <bkc_> morgan: how can xfce be laggy and unity not? ... that is physically impossible...
[03:53] <xkill> xfce on ubuntu w/ USB flash 4 hard drive = smooth and nice  (weird thing though, other laptop that is 10 years older, runs faster. faster USB flashdrive maybe?)
[03:53] <Nautilus__> is there a way to tell which ones work, without embedding them one by one? Some field on the YT page for the video?
[03:54] <nexusguy59> you around shaladore?
[03:54] <morgan> I dono but video and stuff etc was super choppy
[03:54] <bkc_> Nautilus__: not to my knowledge no... havn't looked into it :)
[03:54] <jamesw> what is overhead of an encrypted home folder? i see my home folder taking up as much space as th e encrypted version, is it as simple as that, the price is that you have to have an encrypted copy of everything? or am i misreading?
[03:55] <Pedrolito> morgan, xfce is super smooth for me, it makes my netbook usable, unity was wayyyyyy to slow
[03:55] <bkc_> morgan: bad configuration then... or just not installed the correct nvidia-driver :)
[03:55] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: what specific YT video did you fid that does HTML5, and how did you find it?
[03:55] <Nautilus__> find*
[03:55] <xkill> the overhead depends on the encryption strength and if it's padded
[03:55] <Pedrolito> Nautilus__, I search for the 'html5' keyword in youtube, and the first video I tried used the html5 mode
[03:56] <xkill> what alg?
[03:56] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: ok, heh
[03:56] <morgan> everything was default
[03:56] <Pedrolito> Nautilus__,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzPxo7Y6JyA to be specific
[03:56] <Nautilus__> ty!
[03:57] <bkc_> morgan: then there's your problem... you need to install the nvidia-driver :)
[03:57] <morgan> that was definitely installed
[03:57] <xkill> thats like bitching about progman or explorer when you where running on standard vga driver
[03:58] <jamesw> xkill how can i find the alg?
[03:58] <morgan> I'm not that noob D:
[03:59] <machiolat> what does it mean if i'm superuser and yet an .sh script won't run, i.e. permission denied
[03:59] <jamesw> whatever was default alg xkill
[03:59] <machiolat> i've tried su, su sudo, sudo
[03:59] <machiolat> changed permissions and everything and still get permission denied
[03:59] <xkill> then it would be very small international 56bit non padded encryption
[03:59] <WeThePeople> machiolat, try sudo i
[03:59] <WeThePeople> sudo -i
[04:00] <Nautilus__> Pedrolito: Interesting, I'm on that video's YT page and it's embedded via flash.  I wonder if they show Flash by default if the browser supports both? (I'm in FF).   bkc_: any thoughts there?
[04:00] <xkill> idk what ubuntu uses by default but i assume its about as easy to crack as wep
[04:00] <machiolat> with sudo -i it says no such file or directory now? wtf...
[04:01] <machiolat> madness
[04:01] <machiolat> after telling me permissoin denied for a hundred other things
[04:01] <WeThePeople> machiolat, reset terminal and type sudo -i
[04:02] <bkc_> Nautilus__: If you're in the beta-program for html5 then no, it should default to html5/webm and revert to flash if and only if the video isn't converted to webm yet...
[04:02] <machiolat> -bash: ./Fritzing: No such file or directory
[04:02] <machiolat> again
[04:02] <machiolat> and yet, there it is
[04:02] <WeThePeople> sudo -i isnt a file or dir.
[04:03] <bkc_> machiolat: paste the output of "ls -alF"
[04:03] <Dr_willis> You are spelling it right? ;)
[04:03] <Dr_willis> case matters.
[04:04] <Pedrolito> Nautilus, maybe you're using an extension that changes your user agent string.  That is my case, and I had to make it send my real user agent to youtube for html5 to work
[04:04] <machiolat> http://bpaste.net/show/xrZrqxSC3Sghz3d8eYwS/
[04:04] <machiolat> yeah i'm using Tab, so it's spelling it for me
[04:04] <Dr_willis> machiolat,  try 'file thatfilename'
[04:04] <Dr_willis> if its a 32bit binary.. and you are on a 64bit os...
[04:05] <Nautilus__> bkc_: 10-4, thanks _again_
[04:05] <Dr_willis> or visa-versa
[04:05] <bkc_> Pedrolito: has nothing to do with user-agent... it's a javascript-thingy that checks for html5-support
[04:05] <machiolat> this is the 64 bit package, but ok... let me check
[04:05] <machiolat> and i've tried with the 32 as well
[04:05] <machiolat> same issues
[04:05] <Pedrolito> bkc, I'm just saying that on my firefox, I'm not getting the html 5 if I block my user agent
[04:06] <machiolat> Fritzing: POSIX shell script text executable
[04:06] <Dr_willis> also you said it was a 'sh' script. so whats the first few lines.. the #!/bin/whatever  lines
[04:06] <bkc_> machiolat: and you do have the #!/bin/bash line at the top... right...
[04:06] <bkc_> and not just #!/bash...
[04:06] <WeThePeople> machiolat, you cd into a dir. >>
[04:06] <WeThePeople> fritzing-0.7.7b.linux.AMD64
[04:06] <Pedrolito> so maybe Nautilus has some kind of interfering extension such as noscript or the like
[04:07] <machiolat> contents of the actual script http://bpaste.net/show/rbNd7vFLP0W5f384ZkVf/
[04:07] <bkc_> machiolat: change the first line to #!/bin/bash instead...
[04:07] <machiolat> ok
[04:07] <bekor> compiz windows animations not working any suggestions?
[04:07] <bkc_> also... what does that script accomplish? o.O
[04:07] <Dr_willis> ive also seen where you get weird messages like this when your bash script encoding/end of lines get messed up with  the dos encoding..
[04:08] <bkc_> ^ true
[04:08] <Dr_willis> had a script once someone edited in notepad.exe that got extra cr/lfs on the end.
[04:08] <bkc_> and a break-line at the end of the file :)
[04:08] <Dr_willis> took us forever to figure it out.
[04:08] <bkc_> hexedit <3
[04:08] <xkill> its not a windows fs is it?
[04:08] <Dr_willis> I think 'geany' and 'fte' can also show the whitespace/eol characters
[04:08] <WeThePeople> bekor, do you know how to access compiz gui
[04:09] <Dr_willis> night all.
[04:09] <bkc_> xkill: has nothing to do with fs...
[04:09] <machiolat> -bash: ./Fritzing: No such file or directory , :-( .. same thing
[04:09] <lime> Does anyone know of good techniques to link pdfs with notes/files that may be associated with them.  I'm running into the issue, that if I create folders to put all my hundreds of pdf into, or start trying to organize them become unmanagable.
[04:09] <bekor> CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO THAT?
[04:09] <machiolat> the install instructions for this program are basically just extract and run from CL or double click on filename in folder, and i've tried both
[04:09] <blackshirt> machiolat, what are you try to search?
[04:10] <WeThePeople> bekor, idk 12.04
[04:10] <lime> Maybe a way to link files together?
[04:10] <machiolat> when i double click nothing happens
[04:10] <bekor> what is idk?
[04:10] <WeThePeople> i dont know
[04:10] <bekor> oh
[04:10] <WeThePeople> in the terminal type compiz
[04:10] <WeThePeople> orth hud
[04:11] <WeThePeople> or the
[04:11] <blackshirt> machiolat, this is not windows :d
[04:13] <xkill> right click on the file -> properties -> mark as executable -> apply & ok  -> then try clicking
[04:14] <WeThePeople> machiolat, in Lucid its under apperence
[04:14] <nicekiwi_> how do I share files and folders between 2 computers on the same network in ubuntu?
[04:16] <bkc_> !samba > nicekiwi_
[04:20] <lime> Anyone have some smart techniques to organize files in ubuntu?
[04:20] <lime> Oh maybe index files so there are more quickly and easily searchable?
[04:21] <nicekiwi_> how do I share files and folders between 2 computers on the same network in ubuntu? NOT WINDOWS NETWORKS
[04:21] <m4k4r0n3> hi
[04:21] <xkill> samba
[04:21] <bkc_> !nfs | nicekiwi_
[04:21] <m4k4r0n3> Como instalo o Unity no Xubuntu?
[04:21] <bkc_> !sshfs | nicekiwi_
[04:21] <ricochet> I'm trying to install google-earth-stable on 12.04 amd64.  searching google shows tons of reports of problems with ia32-libs.  anyone familiar with the issue?  also lsb-core says its dependencies don't want to install.
[04:22] <bkc_> !es | m4k4r0n3
[04:22] <xkill> sudo apt-get install unity
[04:22] <bkc_> I just guessing here thou...
[04:23] <sin_tax> Is there an easy way to aggregate/concatenate several folders into a single read only samba (or other?) share? For example I might have /media/movies/ on two disks, but I would like to share /media/ as one share that aggregates those two disks /media/ folders together.
[04:23] <bkc_> xkill: actually... ubuntu-desktop...
[04:23] <m4k4r0n3> yeah...
[04:23] <xkill> really? theres a seperate unity package
[04:23] <m4k4r0n3> ubuntu-destop its better.
[04:23] <xkill> k
[04:23] <nicekiwi_> bkc_: seems a lil ultra complicated..
[04:23] <xkill> its linux
[04:23] <m4k4r0n3> what you prefered? Ubuntu or Xubuntu??
[04:23] <bkc_> xkill: unity-package is unity *only* ... ubuntu-desktop has nautilus or whatnot and the rest...
[04:24] <gnar_Killer13> Hi guys I need help with my wlan0
[04:24] <bkc_> nicekiwi_: it really isn't...
[04:24] <gnar_Killer13> not showing up on ifconfig
[04:24] <xkill> xubuntu cuz im homeless and dont have nice computers
[04:24] <bkc_> m4k4r0n3: I prefer ArchLinux... but it's just a preference...
[04:24] <WeThePeople> gnar_killer13, type lshw in terminal and copy paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:24] <m4k4r0n3> ArchLinux ? I never use Arch.
[04:25] <m4k4r0n3> its complicated.
[04:25] <bkc_> It isn't... if you know linux like your back-pocket ^^
[04:25] <m4k4r0n3> xubuntu is very sad. kkk
[04:25] <m4k4r0n3> dont have effects. =(
[04:25] <xkill> thats not what it's for
[04:25] <bkc_> effects... -.-
[04:26] <Janos> sin_tax, nothing exactly like that comes to mind, but how about you create /shared and create two links under it to each of your media dir and then share the /shared directory with you favorite file sharing protocol
[04:26] <xkill> xfce is a lightweight no thrills run on anything windows manager
[04:26] <bkc_> sin_tax: just share /media? o.O
[04:26] <m4k4r0n3> i think what Unity is a better xfce.
[04:26] <sin_tax> Janos, that would sort of work, but I have similar subfolders in many of the drives so I would still have to 'hunt' for the content I want unless I know ahead of time which drive it is on
[04:27] <jessers> Hello guys
[04:27] <sin_tax> bkc_, because I have a /media folder on multiple drives
[04:27] <xkill> untill you try running unity on a pentium I
[04:27] <Janos> sin_tax, sorry, didn't quite get that last part
[04:28] <m4k4r0n3> but my computer is a intel i3, ram memory 4gb and memory hard disk  tb
[04:28] <jessers> I need help with my wlan0 not showing up on ifconfi
[04:28] <m4k4r0n3> its a configuration good. really good. kkk
[04:28] <david> what is the best way to install gnome 3 in ubuntu 12.04 without breaking anything?
[04:28] <jessers> Yet. I am able to connect to wirless networks
[04:28] <xkill> then why are you using xfce if you have a nice comp and what eye candy? thats not what it's for!
[04:28] <bkc_> david: sudo apt-get install gnome
[04:28] <xkill> want*
[04:29] <bkc_> jessers: don't use ifconfig... use ip
[04:29] <WeThePeople> iw
[04:29] <bkc_> jessers: also, try ip addr show wlan0
[04:29] <Janos> sin_tax, you still have to figure out what you want to share no matter what
[04:29] <david> in this command what does gnome represent. Someone else told me sudo apt-get install gnome-shell so I am a little confuse
[04:29] <WeThePeople> ip no work in linux
[04:29] <m4k4r0n3> Correct. i go to the install ubuntu-desktop
[04:29] <m4k4r0n3> and now, i very happy. hAhaehea
[04:29] <jessers> bkc_ ok let me try it
[04:29] <jessers> Thanks
[04:30] <bkc_> WeThePeople: it does... ip addr show, ip link etc...
[04:30] <WeThePeople> ipconfig
[04:30] <bkc_> WeThePeople: wasn't referring to ipconfig... -.-
[04:30] <WeThePeople> yeah i know
[04:30] <MeXTuX> I'm trying to build a C++ code and link it against /usr/lib/libmysqlpp.so but always get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibmysqlpp error I'm using -L /usr/lib -llibmysqlpp does this have something to do with ldconfig?
[04:30] <bkc_> ifconfig is depricated and should be killed with fire imho...
[04:31] <xkill> david; "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"  will download and install the Gnome window manager (Ubuntu uses the Unity window manager by default)
[04:31] <sin_tax> Janos, basically, I have multiple drives (3 now, more later) with a similar /media structure.  So disk 01 might have /media/television/show_a and disk 02 might have /media/television/show_b and I would like to have a 'concatenated / aggregated' /media share that shows both subfolders from disk 01 and 02... Otherwise I have to guess which disk (or sub-share if I do a /allmedia share which has all my disks in it) the content is on...
[04:31] <bkc_> MeXTuX: it's -lmysqlpp
[04:31] <bkc_> sin_tax: glhf ^^
[04:32] <david> so I want to try gnome 3. which command do I use
[04:32] <david> ?
[04:32] <xkill> press the Tab key to show your options
[04:32] <bkc_> david: is it installed?
[04:32] <m4k4r0n3> thanks guy!!
[04:32] <sin_tax> Thanks bkc_ ^__^;   It seems greyhole is close to what I want but I don't care about redundancy
[04:32] <xkill> Tab key autocompletes or presents options
[04:32] <david> how can I check?
[04:33] <david> im on Ubuntu 12.04
[04:33] <bkc_> david: sudo apt-get install gnome
[04:33] <bkc_> it should either install it, or tell you it's already installed
[04:33] <xkill> in that shell while you are typing the command gnome-
[04:33] <jessers_> bkc_  I got this
[04:33] <jessers_> o command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean:
[04:33] <jessers_>  Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe)
[04:33] <jessers_>  Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main)
[04:33] <jessers_>  Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main)
[04:33] <jessers_> ipconfig: command not found
[04:33] <Janos> sin_tax, raid0 or raid5 might be more what you need
[04:33] <m4k4r0n3> gnome is better what unity?
[04:34] <bkc_> david: if it's already installed you can select it at the login-screen :)

[04:34] <WeThePeople> lol
[04:34] <jessers_> No signs of wlan0 , yet I am connected wirelessly
[04:34] <jessers_> Sorry
[04:35] <sin_tax> Janos, yeah, that would do it but I have a fear of catastrophic data loss in the case of losing some drives in a RAID array.  And it is difficult to grow the array by adding drives with some RAID solutions.  Thanks for you help though
[04:35] <bkc_> anything more than 2 lines... paste it on a pastebin-service -.-
[04:35] <WeThePeople> jessers_, use paste.ubuntu.com
[04:35] <WeThePeople> no flood bots, hmm
[04:35] <bkc_> jessers_: it's there... eth1
[04:36] <jessers_> cool!  thanks bkc_
[04:36] <bkc_> jessers_: iwconfig should tell you the same...
[04:36] <jessers_> iwconfig  output this : lo        no wireless extensions.
[04:36] <Pinkamena_D> hi guys
[04:37] <jessers_> I have a network adapter and a wireless network adapter
[04:37] <bkc_> jessers_: iwconfig should also say something about eth0 and eth1...
[04:37] <MeXTuX> bkc_: thank you
[04:37] <bkc_> Pinkamena_D: o/
[04:37] <bkc_> MeXTuX: np
[04:37] <jessers_> I'm connected wirelessly though   : /
[04:37] <Janos> sin_tax, all linux raid solutions are easy to grow, and if you are worried about data loss, the more reason to use a raid configuration, just make sure you don't use raid 0 for that
[04:37] <M4k4r0n3> Hi...
[04:38] <M4k4r0n3> Im back using Unity.
[04:38] <M4k4r0n3> who?
[04:39] <sin_tax> Janos, is it possible to create an array (using mdadm or whatever) without obliterating the data already on the drives?
[04:39] <Janos> sin_tax, yes sir
[04:39] <M4k4r0n3> whats better language of programation: php or python?
[04:39] <xkill> #web
[04:39] <jessers_> Does anyone know if there a way for UBUNTU to download and install the drivers for my wireless adapter through terminal?
[04:40] <bkc_> M4k4r0n3: not related to ubuntu
[04:40] <Pinkamena_D> i know the chances anyone has done this here are rather slim, but anyway, i am trying to install halo (the first one) on ubuntu. I got wineinstalled and followed the online guides fully. I have seen some other people are having the same problem i am, but no one seems sto have found a solution for them
[04:40] <bkc_> jessers_: not that I know of
[04:40] <Pinkamena_D> the problem is that after you start the programs and the intro videos pass, you can hear the background muchs but its just a black screen
[04:40] <Janos> sin_tax, also, i don't know what software do you use to play your media, but i know that xbmc can create a library to which you can just add file system paths and it will scan them, every now and then for changes, this keeps everything in one place even if you have files all over the file system
[04:40] <Pinkamena_D> i am guessing only some people have it because its something with the video driver or video card
[04:41] <bkc_> Pinkamena_D: you need to install DX-support through winetricks
[04:41] <Janos> sin_tax, i'm pretty sure other media players have this functionality
[04:41] <bkc_> and select it in winecfg
[04:41] <jessers_> It is weird it all started after I partitioned my HDD for a dual-boot with   Ubuntu \ Windows
[04:41] <M4k4r0n3> guys
[04:41] <sin_tax> Janos, I use Plex, which does the same, but I have been having some issues with it so was looking for a fall-back plan that just allows me to browse media via a samba share
[04:41] <M4k4r0n3> i want to program in python on Ubuntu
[04:41] <M4k4r0n3> anyone know any really good IDE?
[04:41] <joejack> wifi not connecting. ifconfig shows only inet6 address but no intet addr does that help to debug the problem?
[04:41] <bkc_> M4k4r0n3: sudo apt-get install python
[04:42] <M4k4r0n3> python 3.2?
[04:42] <glassresistor> have this weird problem with bluetooth headset in 10.04 but can't think of a way to google for it
[04:42] <Pinkamena_D> do you know where that "dx support" option is located offhand?
[04:42] <bkc_> M4k4r0n3: yes
[04:42] <M4k4r0n3> thanks
[04:42] <jessers_> joejack i f you do ifconfig on terminal do you see a wlan listing?
[04:43] <Janos> sin_tax, well then you have at least 3 options, raid, fix your current media player or get a new one that :)
[04:43] <bkc_> Pinkamena_D: not of the top of my head no, but it's under install programs... give me a sec and I'll have a look
[04:43] <xkill> sudo apt-get install bluefish
[04:43] <M4k4r0n3> how to respond like you?
[04:43] <joejack> yeah wlan0 that is the listing that is not showing a inet addr just an inet6 addr
[04:44] <glassresistor> basically whenever I switch the program using sound saw going from hulu to youtube or just changing pages or changing the sound/movie im watching the A2DP high fedelity sound stars clipping and sounding bad..
[04:44] <joejack> jessers_ that comment was for you
[04:44] <sin_tax> Janos, thanks again =]
[04:44] <bkc_> joejack: the inet6-address is probably the default address...
[04:44] <glassresistor> ... but if i toggle to hsp then back to a2dp it works great
[04:44] <jessers_> Try this joejack go to Terminal & type : dhclient eth0
[04:45] <glassresistor> anyone have any ideas? i've noticed similar problems with multicast and pulse audio
[04:46] <jessers_> It is the same as ipconfig/ renew in Windows OS
[04:46] <jessers_> Did it work?
[04:46] <Janos> sin_tax, just one piece of advice, if you decide to go with raid, try to simulate the procedure on a VM first, wrong step here and you loose you data :P
[04:46] <joejack> jessers_ it came back operation not permitted
[04:46] <bkc_> Pinkamena_D: winetricks -> Select the default wine-prefix -> Install a Windows DLL or component -> dx<something>
[04:46] <glassresistor> so bluetooth audio works but i have to toggle the sound between each track change, any ideas?
[04:46] <jessers_> Try it as root
[04:46] <jessers_> sudo dhclient eth0
[04:47] <Pinkamena_D> thank you very much, i will try it out now
[04:47] <joejack> ok true haha
[04:48] <joejack> jessers_ it seems to be just hanging now
[04:48] <glassresistor> its it pulseaudio or the bluetooth drivers I should be looking at?
[04:49] <joejack> yeah jessers_ that command is just hanging
[04:49] <zed_> hi I am using kubuntu 12.04 on this laptop and >I am having problems with the wireless
[04:49] <jessers_> So it did not renew your address
[04:49] <zed_> there is no network manager app on the taskbar, and I can't find it in the menus
[04:49] <jessers_> Hi zed_
[04:49] <zed_> hey jessers_
[04:49] <jessers_> Welcome to the club!!  LOL
[04:50] <zed_> why is this a common problem ?
[04:50] <zed_> there is no icon or app anywhere for accessing the net
[04:50] <joejack> jessers_ no ifconfig still only shows an inet6 addr for wlan0
[04:50] <vkas> does anybody have an idea about this weird problem -  working in gnome-classic session and had a panel in the right side of the screen which i deleted. now i cannot reach in the area that was covered by the panel. the area is kind of cut-off from the desktop - even on the login screen. screenshot of the whole screen also omits the area
[04:50] <jessers_> I don't know man...my netbook was working fine and I connect wirelessly yet my wireless adapter doesn't show up on terminal
[04:51] <Pinkamena_D> theirs a whole bunch of d3dx9 and d3dx10 ones
[04:51] <jessers_> ok hang on joejack
[04:51] <joejack> aight
[04:51] <Pinkamena_D> ill start with a generic dx9...
[04:52] <jessers_> zed_ so if you are already connected to a network all you need is a browser, correct?
[04:53] <jessers_> joejack , let's try flushing your DNS cache
[04:53] <jessers_> type this on terminal :  /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart
[04:53] <glassresistor> is anyone using bluetooth headsets without the problem?
[04:56] <joejack> jessers_  it says no such file or directory
[04:58] <joejack> jessers_ what now
[04:59] <jessers_> I'm searching
[05:01] <jessers_> joejack try this :  sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start
[05:02] <joejack> ok
[05:03] <jessers_> So nothing seems to happen but we cleared your DNS cache
[05:03] <jessers_> Now try restarting your wireless adapter, porfavor
[05:04] <joejack> jessers_ ok did the command and still nothing
[05:04] <Janos> joejack, sorry, what's the issue again ?
[05:04] <joejack> my wifi is not connecting and ifconfig does not  show in inet addr for wlan0
[05:05] <Janos> joejack, network manager working ?

[05:11] <drupin> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1206194/ i am not able to update
[05:11] <evilytwisted> Hi, my friend has a 64 bit pc, it is a laptop curently we are trying to get rid of linux and switch back to windows... IS it possible to install windows as 32 bit.. then upgrade it to 64 bit later?
[05:11] <jessers_> twig what type of install you used?
[05:11] <Janos> joejack, ESSID, Mode, Access Point ?
[05:11] <twig> dvd edubuntu
[05:11] <jessers_> evilytwisted you can only install Win 64 bit if the processor support x64 OS
[05:12] <IdleOne> evilytwisted: Windows support in ##windows
[05:12] <jessers_> Did you format the HDD ?
[05:12] <joejack> Janos ESSID:off/any
[05:12] <drupin> evilytwisted: no you cannot both 32bit and 64bit are diff architecture
[05:12] <twig> i got it going and then i come back, no response, going to check again for further inights perhaps
[05:12] <joejack> Janos Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx=Power=20 dBm
[05:12] <jessers_> Your install is stuck, right? Can you tell me at which point?
[05:13] <joejack> Janos what now
[05:13] <Pinkamena_D> well i installed everything possible directx related but still no luck
[05:13] <mactruck> does dual display still not work on Ubuntu 12.04?
[05:14] <jessers_> joejack I forgot to ask you a question, are you able to connect wirelessly without any issues using other devices?
[05:14] <cloudy_nz> mactruck: I know of 2 people who have had persistent dual-monitor problems in Unity
[05:14] <black_13_> what does hdmedia mean when related to a preseed file?
[05:14] <joejack> jessers_ yes or example right now I am using my mac
[05:14] <duckDuckGoose> hey all, I am trying to create a freenas VM on a ubuntu server install (12.04) with virt-manager, when I specify eth0 for the shared device (bridge) I get this error: Unable to complete install: 'Unable to add bridge eth0 port vnet0: Operation not supported' anyone familiar with proper bridge setup?
[05:15] <mactruck> lame, yeah I can't get it to work
[05:15] <Janos> joejack, iwlist wlan0 scan should show the available access points, is this correct ?
[05:15] <cloudy_nz> mactruck: what we fixed it with was eventually a whole new PC with different graphics card, etc.
[05:15] <Janos> joejack, sudo that
[05:16] <cloudy_nz> for me, however, the dual-monitor freezing went away after several weeks of ubuntu updates
[05:17] <twig> i didi not format the hard drive disk instead i wanted edubuntu & slackware together on the same disc.  i have run the procedure for installing over and over and i just have it overwrite and install over the same partition
[05:17] <twig> I reinitialized the installation procedure
[05:17] <twig> brb
[05:17] <jessers_> ok
[05:17] <kermoo> ok
[05:18] <Janos> joejack, does sudo iwlist wlan0 scan shows the available access points including the one to want to connect to ?

[05:31] <ankur> hey guys
[05:31] <kermoo> hey guys
[05:32] <nydel> anyone here use vimprobable?
[05:32] <ankur> what's that
[05:32] <nydel> ankur: it's a vi improved editor-like web browser
[05:32] <nydel> http://www.vimprobable.org
[05:32] <ankur> nydel, lemme see
[05:33] <IdleOne> thank you
[05:33] <ankur> nydel, you know shell scripting?
[05:33] <daklan> that bot sure was annoying
[05:33] <nydel> ankur: sh, bash, lush, a bit of csh, lisp, perl, php
[05:33] <random777> Anyone here use a Steelseries sensie mouse?
[05:34] <nydel> ankur: lisp & bash mostly
[05:34] <zed_> Intel Centrino  Advanced-N 6205
[05:34] <zed_> can't get that to work
[05:35] <ankur> nydel, why are you using vimprobable? O.o
[05:35] <nydel> zed_: what can't you get to work exactly?
[05:35] <bkc_> wifi-card
[05:35] <zed_> nydel: well I have kubuntu 12.04 installed. and
[05:35] <zed_> the network app doesn't give me the option to enable wirelesss
[05:35] <zed_> its greyed out
[05:35] <daklan> driver not loaded?
[05:35] <zed_> hardware drivers shows nothing
[05:36] <nydel> ankur: i look at a lot of textual websites and am on a minimal kick right now. it's actually a really great browser, vimprobable is. much faster than any other browser i've used.
[05:36] <zed_> not sure where to get the drivers from i guess i have to manually install them from the manufacturers website ?
[05:36] <ankur> nydel, yeah if you're reading text then it's great.
[05:37] <luckysmack> anyone know how I can fix apt-get in 12.04 ? my router crashed when installing java, and now i cant install or recover apt-get. http://bpaste.net/show/6JksJM2aZVpv6dgyN9zT/
[05:37] <nydel> zed_: that's really unfortunate, i'm sorry to hear that didn't work automatically. you'll have to install the drivers, are you able to find them?
[05:37] <daklan> zed_: should be supported out of box, it seems. what does lspci say about it?
[05:37] <ankur> nydel, but then when it comes to multimedia it would suck
[05:37] <bkc_> nydel: what's the difference between vimprobable and say luakit? :)
[05:38] <ankur> luckysmack, try reopening your terminal
[05:38] <zed_> 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34)
[05:38] <daklan> luckysmack: tried "apt-get install -f"?
[05:38] <ankur> luckysmack, it usually works for me
[05:38] <nydel> ankur: i really dislike how multimedia www/http has become. i miss the old days. i wanna meet with my friends on a telnet bbs or shell, not facebook. ideas, not identity.
[05:38] <daklan> zed_: so the kernel recognizes it. Try lsmod|grep iwlagn
[05:39] <nydel> bkc_: i know vimprobable is built on lua.. i'm not sure how to answer your question in full
[05:39] <zed_> daklan: absolutely no output from that command
[05:39] <bkc_> nydel: luakit is the same, just that all config-files are written in lua... also all plugins/whatnot :)
[05:39] <daklan> zed_: modprobe iwlagn
[05:39] <luckysmack> daklan: yea tried that. did some stiff but didnt work.
[05:39] <daklan> you'd need sudo privileges for that, zed_
[05:39] <zed_> daklan: nothing
[05:39] <ankur> nydel, haha i don't think that's gonna happen.
[05:39] <zed_> \ahhh
[05:39] <zed_> \brb
[05:40] <luckysmack> ankur: something that simple seems to have worked...
[05:40] <daklan> luckysmack: what errors are you getting?
[05:40] <TheMinimalist> What is the difference between the Minimal CD and the regular 12.04 LTS if the Minimal CD will still result in a 5GB install? I ask because I'll be getting a netbook ( 1.6GHz processor dual-core, 1GB RAM ) and am looking for the smallest install and memory footprint
[05:40] <nydel> ankur: it will! you'll see! (i don't even believe me)
[05:40] <zed_> daklan: nothing
[05:40] <ankur> luckysmack, haha i know :D
[05:40] <zed_> no output
[05:40] <nydel> bkc_: i never learned anything about lua. should i?
[05:40] <bkc_> TheMinimalist: If you want small... don't go for ubuntu...
[05:40] <ankur> nydel, let us hope soo. I hate multimedia taking too long to load up :P
[05:40] <daklan> zed_: try lsmod|grep iwlagn again
[05:40] <bkc_> nydel: yes, it's a nice language :)
[05:41] <zed_> daklan: sudo ?
[05:41] <luckysmack> daklan: i pasted them in my link. but closing and reopening the terminal after those were run, seems to have fixed it.
[05:41] <daklan> zed_: nope
[05:41] <daklan> luckysmack: good! :)
[05:41] <zed_> daklan: nothing no output
[05:41] <nydel> ankur: and 99.(loop for i from 0 to (get-universal-time) do (format t "9")% of the media is crap
[05:41] <TheMinimalist> bkc_: What would you personally recommend then? Ubuntu seems amazing for a server ( 500MB total install? ) but seems bloated for a desktop ( 5GB? )
[05:41] <daklan> zed_: interesting
[05:41] <zed_> daklan: http://pastebin.com/Re3R6H1x
[05:42] <ankur> nydel, didn't understand a word :\ not much of a geek
[05:42] <nydel> ankur: 99.99999999% of the media that takes so long to load is crap
[05:42] <bkc_> TheMinimalist: I'd recommend xubuntu, if at all ubuntu...
[05:42] <ankur> nydel hahaha true that
[05:42] <TheMinimalist> bkc_ May I PM you?
[05:42] <bkc_> TheMinimalist: sure
[05:43] <nydel> bkc_: nice for what, or, what sort of programming do you do? is lua easy to use for gui?
[05:43] <bkc_> nydel: lua is something you use for embedded scripting... not as a separate program :)
[05:43] <ankur> guys i want to create my own operating system as my final year engineering project, i'm clueless from where to start. Any ideas?
[05:43] <daklan> zed_: sudo modprobe iwl4965
[05:43] <bkc_> ankur: GLHF, you'll need it ^^
[05:43] <nydel> ankur: do you use any of the popular web servers, like facébook, twiddler etc
[05:44] <zed_> daklan: nothing
[05:44] <zed_> remmber this is kde
[05:44] <daklan> zed_: then look it up using lsmod. If no output, you may need to Google exactly what package provides that module
[05:44] <daklan> zed_: won't matter if it's kde. looks like you're just missing the driver
[05:44] <nydel> bkc_: could it be useful for collecting a program written in different scripting languages?
[05:45] <nydel> bkc_: often i write a portion in lisp & a portion in ba/sh or perl, my methods of combining them are messy
[05:45] <daklan> zed_: i wonder if the shipped kernel includes that module. It may not
[05:45] <zed_> daklan: yeah I don't know
[05:46] <daklan> zed_: sorry, which version are you running?
[05:48] <pupil> hello everyone, my x server is error
[05:48] <zukirep> does anyone know if its possible for me to have switched my f2 button at boot to go to boot loader instead of the bios menu?
[05:48] <Janos> zed_, i think the module for that card is iwlwifi, try sudo 'modprobe iwlwifi'
[05:49] <pupil> is there anyone can help?
[05:49] <pupil> my xserver won't start
[05:50] <drupin> Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/universe i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
[05:50] <drupin> how i remove this
[05:50] <Rootbrian> there seems to be an issue with Cheese. It just will not start at all. All I get is it crashing all the time and I'm curious as to when a fix will be released soon.
[05:50] <thufir_> I'm using DAR to create DVD backup slices.  How large should the slices be?   There's a slight problem with large files:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/187954/dar-slice-size-for-dvds  because ISO 9660 doesn't allow for large files.  I'm looking for the most space efficient slice size.
[05:50] <dax> drupin: check in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* for a duplicate entry that looks like that
[05:50] <bkc_> thufir_: just use split and cat :/
[05:51] <drupin> ok dax a min
[05:52] <thufir_> bkc_:  heh.  wow, that sounds quite painful.  it's just that everytime I do the arithmetic to minimize wasted DVD space, it's either too large or too small.
[05:53] <bkc_> how hard can it be? just divide the files into parts that together completely fills up a DVD :/
[05:53] <ankur> bkc_, you mean the magazine?
[05:53] <ankur> nydel, i use fb twitter g+
[05:53] <nydel> cool i'm running awesomewm for the first time
[05:53] <ankur> nydel, helps me stay connected and updated
[05:53] <thufir_> bkc_: I'm not sure that you understand my question, thank you, though.
[05:54] <bkc_> ankur: magazine? o.O
[05:54] <ankur> bkc_, what's glhf?
[05:55] <nydel> ankur: me too, but i don't like any of them. they don't help me stay connected or updated at all. if anything they create distance between myself & friends i might make an effort to see (& vise versa) if these social bits didn't exist
[05:55] <Rootbrian> I'm using gnome-fallback. Usually I have gnome-panel running within fluxbox. It's just brilliant. No need for compiz.
[05:55] <bkc_> thufir_: I think I do... you can't put files bigger than 2GB on an iso9660-fs, so you have to split the files to be less than 2GB but at the same time use al available space on the disk...
[05:55] <bkc_> ankur: Good Luck, Have Fun
[05:55] <phyrexianslug> GLHF -> Good Luck,  High Five
[05:55] <luckysmack> ankur: ok maybe it didnt work.
[05:55] <ankur> bkc_, haha, tq
[05:55] <ankur> luckysmack, what didn't work
[05:56] <bkc_> thufir_: correct?
[05:56] <luckysmack> it will download and attempt to install a package, then beore it finishes, it wil tell me: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[05:56] <thufir_> bkc_: yes, that's the problem.  1024MB perhaps?
[05:56] <ankur> nydel, it surely makes you lazy and not get you to meet them, but then everything has it's pros and cons
[05:56] <nydel> of course, yeah, you're right ankur
[05:56] <luckysmack>  `sudo dpkg --configure -a' will again try to install them, but give the same error.
[05:57] <nydel> brb switchign back to cinnamon
[05:57] <ankur> luckysmack, umm are you on live session or what?
[05:57] <luckysmack> nope
[05:57] <bkc_> thufir_: how is 1024*4 4.7? that would be 4GB... you have to divide them at a npot value... 1604MB would almost completely fill each DVD...
[05:57] <rootbrian> figured the /name command didn't work in chatzilla.
[05:58] <ankur> luckysmack, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642173
[05:58] <daklan> luckysmack: try to uninstall the package that's causing the issue (using -f)
[05:58] <bkc_> thufir_: actually, just remembered that most DVDs are only 4.5GB, so that would be 1536MB / splice
[05:58] <luckysmack> i get: E: Could not get lock /var/lock/aptitude - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:58] <bkc_> thufir_: I'd go for 1500, to be on the same side :)
[05:59] <ankur> anyone here aware of shell scripting and stuff?
[05:59] <daklan> luckysmack: you have a stale aptitude process
[05:59] <Janos> ankur, i know about stuff :)
[05:59] <ankur> daklan, yeah that can be the case, luckysmack are you using software centre to maybe download or maybe ubuntu is updating
[05:59] <daklan> luckysmack: look for any aptitude processes using ps
[06:00] <daklan> luckysmack: then kill that sucker :)
[06:00] <luckysmack> the only thing i have been using is terminal and chrome
[06:00] <ankur> Janos, i wanted to make an operating system for my final year engineering project i don't know where to start
[06:00] <hfic> !lock
[06:00] <thufir_> bkc_:  ok, thanks
[06:00] <ankur> Janos, mind tipping?
[06:01] <Janos> ankur, at the beginning ? :P
[06:01] <ankur> Janos, yeah and where is that? :P
[06:02] <luckysmack> ankur: in regards to the link you sent me :http://bpaste.net/show/PPj4IUPs7jNlG680XiuX/
[06:03] <hfic> if ur having issues with /var/lock why don't u just delete the file from lock?
[06:04] <thufir_> if you leave out the -p flag for DAR (Disk ARchive), and the hard drive fills up, will DAR pause and prompt you to remove files, press enter, and then continue after user input?  Or, is it not quite that smart?
[06:05] <daklan> luckysmack: some proc is using that config.dat. lsof|grep <whatever> file and see if that process is something that should be running
[06:05] <bkc_> thufir_: I've never used DAR... I use dd, split and cat
[06:05] <luckysmack> i tried killing aptitude and its still shows up with ps. not doing it right?   I think it will be close enough for gov'mt work.
[06:05] <drupin> /etc/apt/sources.list.d two enteries of dvd.list
[06:05] <bkc_> thufir_: also, for an automated backup-system, that's a really bad idea...
[06:06] <thufir_> bkc_: why is that a bad idea?
[06:06] <bkc_> thufir_: the pause-and-wait-for-user-input-thingy that is...
[06:07] <thufir_> oh, yeah, I'm just backing up an entire hard drive in order to format it.  It's a one-time backup.
[06:07] <bkc_> thufir_: then I'd suggest a removable harddrive instead :)
[06:08] <thufir_> lol, yes, that would make more sense. I'm not always known for doing things the sensible way...
[06:08] <luckysmack> daklan: `lsof | grep config.dat` doesnt come up with any results
[06:08] <bkc_> thufir_: have a look att clonezilla, it's a live-distro built for exactly this purpose :)
[06:08] <thufir_> will do, thanks :)
[06:08] <bkc_> !clonezilla
[06:08] <xkill> redo is easier
[06:09] <luckysmack> daklan: kill -9 pid killed aptitude, but still same error.
[06:09] <Janos> so i have not been paying much attention to file systems lately and suddenly i find this /run directory, ls -lid tells me it shares the same inode as /var/run which leaves me with two questions: first, is it possible to hard link directories on ext4 ? and more importantly, why the hell do we keep putting more stuff in / ? :P
[06:09] <ankur> luckysmack, i am no expert bro, sudo apt works when i restart my terminal
[06:09] <luckysmack> would a simple restart fix this?
[06:09] <xkill> http://redobackup.org/
[06:09] <ankur> luckysmack, from what i can see it's the half installed program that' causing the problem, try uninstalling it
[06:09] <daklan> luckysmack: tried to uninstall the package you were trying to install?
[06:09] <Pazzie> hi all, i want to add my additional hdd (existing one) i can see him but if i want to mount it it keeps saying in correct filesystem, what happend was i reinstalled my system and now i want to add the harddrive again
[06:09] <daklan> ankur: good insight :)
[06:09] <luckysmack> yea i have tried.
[06:09] <bkc_> thufir_: http://clonezilla.org/ :)
[06:10] <Pazzie> i my previous configuration it was a lvm
[06:10] <luckysmack>  ill post the output
[06:10] <drupin> the double enteries not moving out
[06:10] <drupin> in the PPA
[06:10] <xkill> sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:10] <ankur> daklan, how much of coding do you know on linux?
[06:11] <daklan> Pazzie: specify the correct file type using -t parameter
[06:11] <xkill> thufir_: http://redobackup.org/
[06:11] <daklan> ankur: by "coding", you mean scripting?
[06:11] <ankur> yep
[06:11] <Pazzie> daklan: in the fstab file?
[06:11] <daklan> ankur: run of the mill shell scripting, python, some other stuff
[06:12] <daklan> Pazzie: mount -t
[06:12] <daklan> Pazzie: add your special ingredients to that command
[06:12] <luckysmack> i closed my terminal, and tried again. here are my results, still broken: http://bpaste.net/show/1sltGB5f9h5og1qouRYL/
[06:12] <daklan> Pazzie: in fact, "man mount"
[06:13] <daklan> luckysmack: sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db
[06:13] <Pazzie> well what i did was this, i put the uuid in the fstab file (since i can see the harddrive) and then i do sudo mount -a
[06:13] <daklan> luckysmack: it's getting stuck at that point
[06:13] <daklan> Pazzie: try it first using "mount", then modify your fstab according to what worked with mount
[06:14] <thufir_> xkill: thanks. I think DAR will suffice for tonight, but good to know.
[06:14] <alqasmey> sudo apt-get autotremove
[06:14] <luckysmack> trying
[06:14] <ankur> daklan, any tips for a noob aiming to make an OS
[06:14] <Janos> Pazzie, just my two cents, if you had a lvm config on this drive you can't mount it directly AFAIK, you have to assemble the lvm first and then mount the lvm device
[06:14] <alqasmey> hi
[06:14] <daklan> Pazzie: you may be specifying the wrong fs type, or you specified the entire drive when in fact you want to mount a partition
[06:15] <daklan> ankur: an OS? big dreams there, brother
[06:15] <daklan> ankur: and no, you can't clobber an OS together using shell scripting
[06:15] <Pazzie> daklan: yes thats te error message i am receiving
[06:16] <daklan> Pazzie: inspect the partitions on that drive using fdisk -l
[06:16] <daklan> Pazzie: my guess is that your drive is partitioned, and you're trying to mount /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 (as an example)
[06:17] <Pazzie> daklan: if i do fdisk -l nothing happends (do i need to type the hdd behind it?
[06:17] <xkill> should have listed the drives
[06:18] <xkill> sudo fdisk -l
[06:18] <hfic> Pazzie, you need sudo
[06:18] <daklan> Pazzie: yep. "man fdisk" for more info
[06:18] <daklan> yeah, and whatever the other folks said
[06:18] <jmstick> dak is apt-get purge program the same as apt-get remove --purge program
[06:18] <ankur> daklan, yeah i know but i need to start with something. and we need to dream big, haven't you heard? Shoot for the moon, don't worry even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars :P
[06:18] <Pazzie> daklan: yes that is correct, but i have read, that nowdays ubuntu mounts on uuid instead of /dev/sdb for example
[06:19] <luckysmack> daklan: running `sudo apt-get remove --purge man-db` will uninstall my ubuntu-desktop and a lot of other things. : gnome-user-guide* man-db* ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-docs* ubuntu-standard* yelp*
[06:19] <daklan> Pazzie: yes, that's if you reference the correct uuid
[06:19] <daklan> luckysmack: wow, use dpkg instead
[06:19] <xkill> sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:19] <hfic> Pazzie, blkid will show u UUIDs
[06:20] <daklan> xkill: dpkg is failing on the configure step, that won't work
[06:20] <luckysmack> sudo dpkg --configure -a doesnt work.
[06:20] <Pazzie> daklan: i see the drive with fdisk -l (/dev/sdc1 system GPT) but i dont see the filesystem it is
[06:21] <hfic> Pazzie, sudo blkid
[06:21] <daklan> luckysmack: dpkg -r
[06:21] <luckysmack> dpkg gives me this: http://bpaste.net/show/52q4AYLP288zruBq2lpc/
[06:21] <daklan> i had to man that stupid flag, haven't used dpkg by itself in a while :(
[06:21] <Pazzie> hfic: this is what i now see: /dev/sdc1: UUID="wttki2-9ggl-b4Zx-7dRc-T522-SfFl-BnSHNP" TYPE="LVM2_member"
[06:21] <daklan> Pazzie: oh, it's LVM
[06:22] <hfic> Pazzie, your drive is LVM
[06:22] <Pazzie> yes, i have tried it in my last configuration
[06:22] <Pazzie> but i dont want that anymore
[06:22] <Pazzie> i dont need lvm
[06:22] <jmstick> luckysmack fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat to find out which process is using this file.
[06:23] <luckysmack> sudo dpkg -r man-db gives me this: http://bpaste.net/show/Xj6jfPNpF9TweN4pz79S/
[06:23] <Pazzie> but there is still data on the drive
[06:23] <luckysmack> jmstick: no results
[06:24] <jmstick> sudo dpkg --configure -a doesnt work?
[06:24] <luckysmack> jmstick: no that gives me: http://bpaste.net/show/52q4AYLP288zruBq2lpc/
[06:25] <xkill> no
[06:25] <daklan> luckysmack: tried the -f flag?
[06:25] <Pazzie> hfic: or daklan any idea? i just want to access the data and after that i can repartition the drive if needed
[06:25] <luckysmack> daklan: aptitude install -f  ? yea i have
[06:26] <daklan> Pazzie: never tried mounting lvm on a separate machine. I'm sure there's a way, just haven't tried it
[06:26] <Janos> luckysmack, what's the status of the package ? dpkg --get-selections <package>
[06:26] <luckysmack> if i do that with aptitude, it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop, since it wants to now remove man-db
[06:26] <hfic> Pazzie, do pvs
[06:27] <Pazzie> anyone? hfic
[06:27] <ankur> daklan, there?
[06:27] <jmstick> luckysmack tryed a restart and or: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get update
[06:27] <Janos> Pazzie, pvs, vgs and lvs should give you more info
[06:27] <Pazzie> pvs? just as a command?
[06:27] <daklan> Pazzie: tried this? http://linuxers.org/howto/how-mount-linux-lvm-volume-partitions-linux
[06:27] <hfic> Pazzie, type pvs, and it will show the groupname the LVM belongs 2 and mount it by the group
[06:27] <daklan> ankur: yep
[06:27] <ankur> daklan, read my last reply :D
[06:27] <luckysmack> Janos: oracle-java7-installer				purge
[06:28] <luckysmack> i asked about a restart, but people were still feeding me ideas to try and fix. so not not yet
[06:28] <daklan> ankur: hard to do that when you're ssh-ing to a headless server and there's tons of text scrolling in your window
[06:28] <Janos> luckysmack, according to your paste, the package with the problem seems to be man-db, not oracle-java
[06:29] <raymond_> Upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 beta
[06:29] <raymond_> wish me luck ;)
[06:29] <hfic> raymond_, #ubuntu+1 if u have issues :)
[06:29] <raymond_> hfic, thanks :)
[06:29] <hfic> raymond_, gl
[06:29] <daklan> luckysmack: i'd do a dpkg -rf man-db, but i'd make sure it doesn't take the other dependent packages with it
[06:30] <ankur> daklan, anyways any tips as to where i should start??
[06:30] <luckysmack> yea i know. i didnt touch man-db until someone mentioned to see if removing it would help. i didnt install it myself. it either was on the system, or some other package installed it. ubuntu-desktop depends on it.
[06:30] <daklan> ankur: start with robot rtos
[06:31] <Janos> luckysmack, dpkg --get-selections man-db ?
[06:31] <ankur> daklan, what's that
[06:31] <daklan> ankur: you'd learn a lot about the hardware if you start with robot kits. I mean you need an in-depth knowledge of hardware for you to delve into OS programming
[06:32] <luckysmack> Janos: man-db						deinstall
[06:32] <ankur> i know about computer organization
[06:32] <daklan> ankur: you know those robot kits that they sell? they come with RTOS development environments - real time operating system
[06:32] <ankur> daklan, yeah iknow
[06:32] <luckysmack> but i think thats because i was asked to try and remove it. the reason its on deinstall
[06:32] <Janos> luckysmack, sudo apt-get install man-db ?
[06:33] <Pazzie> daklan: hfic  i am now a little bit futher
[06:33] <daklan> Pazzie: great!
[06:33] <Pazzie> now i get this if i want to mount it: sudo mount /dev/s-ftp/Data /media/Downloads mount: special device /dev/s-ftp/Data does not exist
[06:33] <luckysmack> Janos: that didnt break. looked like it worked. but man-db status is still deinstall
[06:34] <Yifu> ？
[06:34] <luckysmack> Janos: http://bpaste.net/show/1TFEjyhz1rtmJIhntsMc/
[06:35] <Janos> luckysmack, echo 'man-db install' | sudo dpkg --set-selection, and then try to update or whatever you were trying to do in there first place
[06:35] <Pazzie> daklan: /dev/s-ftp/Data is the lv name i get when i did:sudo lvdisplay /dev/s-ftp
[06:36] <luckysmack> ok ill try
[06:36] <Janos> Pazzie, can you pastebin the output of pvs, vgs and lvs ?
[06:36] <ankur> daklan, how to start with that?
[06:37] <Pazzie> Janos: yes gimme a sec
[06:39] <daklan-away> g'night, boys and girls
[06:40] <Janos> daklan-away, take care
[06:40] <Pazzie> Janos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1206265/
[06:40] <daklan-away> Janos: will do, you do the same :)
[06:40] <Marzata> good morning from Europe!
[06:40] <blackshirt> marzata, good afternoo from asia :d
[06:41] <luckysmack> Janos: i think that may have worked. not getting any errors with some of the other commands anymore. trying again.
[06:41] <blackshirt> where do you come from marzata
[06:41] <Marzata> now in Oslo, Norway
[06:41] <Marzata> blackshirt: you?
[06:41] <blackshirt> marzata, amazing country :d
[06:41] <newbie> I just did a bleachbit as root.  Since then, aMule doesn't work any more.  How could I fix that?
[06:41] <Pazzie> Marzata: i am from the netherlands :D
[06:42] <blackshirt> i'm from indonesia marzata
[06:42] <Janos> Pazzie, you are missing a physical disk, don't think it's possible to start and lvm like that
[06:42] <Marzata> blackshirt: ah, a Java developer?
[06:42] <Marzata> and the Netherlands are to low
[06:43] <blackshirt> marzata, ah.. You make a joke :d
[06:43] <blackshirt> i come from java island :d
[06:43] <luckysmack> ok it looks like this fixed it: echo 'man-db install' | sudo dpkg --set-selection
[06:43] <blackshirt> But it was not related to java programming languages
[06:44] <newbie> And aMule worked before that, so bleachbit did something
[06:44] <luckysmack> thanks for the help Janos jmstick daklan-away
[06:44] <luckysmack> i appreciate it very much.
[06:44] <Janos> luckysmack, you got it
[06:45] <nbubuntu> I need a  bit help , I can't get galaxy tab mount on ubuntu , not sure the reason was , installed gmtp and it doesn't get connect
[06:45] <Pazzie> Janos: what happend is, when i first installed ubuntu, i choose to use lvm, (i had 4 disks, 1 os and 3 data) but i sized my os disk to small, and i needed to extend it, but with gparted it was not possible so i then thought to reinstall my system with a bigger hdd. (since it is a vm, i removed my os disk and i have kept my 3 data disks) but now i want to add my hdd disks but the system is not allowing me
[06:46] <hfic> newbie, bleachbit overwrites data rendering it complete garbage that can't be recovered. If you did something to a program try reinstalling
[06:47] <Janos> Pazzie, pastebin cat /proc/partitions
