[17:18] <bekks> MASTERPIECE: There is no way so far, without messing around with different wine versions, or just reading the link you have been given already.
[17:19] <MASTERPIECE> and now ?

[17:33] <drastik-jw> Is Ubuntu 12.04 going to be any more lightweight (for a netbook) than  10.10 Ubuntu netbook?
[17:33] <wilee-nilee> drastik-jw, There is no netbook version.
[17:34] <drastik-jw> wilee-nilee: I heard now that it's "wrapped into the desktop version"
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> drastik-jw, Lightweight is a subjective view, you have to see if it is what you want really. ;)
[17:35] <drastik-jw> wilee-nilee: I use that term meaning, faster
[17:35] <drastik-jw> oh well, will see
[17:35] <Guest29004> ciao a tutti
[17:36] <wilee-nilee> drastik-jw, Ah, well it suggested you have at least 1 gig of ram it depends on the hardware really as far as speed, Ubuntu in now not pointed so much at older setups it comes with a pae kernel.
[17:36] <wilee-nilee> s/is
[17:37] <wilee-nilee> drastik-jw, You can do a mini net install and aviod the pae kernel and have a smaller install in general.
[17:37] <drastik-jw> wilee-nilee: Thanks.  I'm just trying to find another use for this Asus eee 900 other than the trash can

I tried to paly tv using tvtime but i gor the meesage that frames are too short and that there is no signal. is there anything i can do to manage usbvision driver to be sure that drives my device and finally make it work?
[17:38] <wilee-nilee> drastik-jw, Understandable, if I was a looking to stay with ubuntu with that unit I would probably do a lubuntu net install wit the mini, although it may run fine with a regular.
[17:38] <llutz> Guest52195: "file sigmira" "uname -m"

[17:43] <zanberdo> question: is there a way to query apt for the reason why a package may be kept back? I know how to update them but I'd like to know why they are being held.
[17:43] <usr13> mariyan_: apt-get
[17:44] <mariyan_> only thath ?
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> zanberdo, Generally it is dependencies not available.
[17:45] <mbeierl> Is there a udev or other event mechanism that can be used to call a script when an external monitor is plugged in?  Using xubuntu 12.04?
[17:46] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, right, no, I'm sorry, I was unclear. I get that it's usually something of that sort, but what I'm looking for is a simply way to verify exactly why a package is being held.  I think apt-cache policy might be helpful though ... just wondered if anyone else has found a simply way to query for the 'why' for specific packages.
[17:46] <usr13> mariyan_: No. There are GUI front ends.
[17:47] <usr13> mariyan_: Software Center
[17:47] <usr13> mariyan_: Synaptic Package Manager
[17:47] <killer> as said i ....changed ..GRUB_CMD_LINUX_DEFAULT to "text" ..now when i reboot and enter startx ....theres is no unity ...just my icons...and nothing else.....i had to type unity in terminal to start the unity
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> zanberdo, There probably are commands that will lock that down, I rarely have a problem there so I have not saved any I have seen getting to that sort of ease.
[17:48] <mariyan_> software center
[17:48] <mariyan_> dont function
[17:48] <mariyan_> i want to remove and  to   install  again
[17:48] <usr13> mariyan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[17:49] <usr13> mariyan_: What do you want to install or uninstall?
[17:49] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, I'm using apt-get -V dist-upgrade when I run into held packages - this at least shows me the dependencies that are effected.  I'd be kind of nice though to be able to ask "hey, why exactly are you being held back?".  I suppose it's not critical.  I've been used to using aptitude but since aptitude is now frowned upon and being phased out, I'd thought I'd better get familiar with the various apt-n commands again.
[17:49] <usr13> mariyan_: Why would you remove and install again>?
[17:50] <erictr1ck> so if i have my headphones plugged in, i cannot switch my sound output to the analog out speakers. in order to switch to speaker output i have to physically unplug the headphones. is it supposed to work like this?
[17:50] <usr13> mariyan_: Tell us your end goal.
[17:50] <wilee-nilee> zanberdo, Sounds like a noble cause. ;)
[17:50] <usr13> mariyan_: What exactly  are you wanting to do?
[17:50] <mariyan_> dont function my software center
[17:50] <killer> i m running ubuntu in text mode...is there a way to run unity  from command line?
[17:50] <mariyan_> i want to fix the problem
[17:50] <mariyan_> how ?
[17:51] <usr13> mariyan_: sudo apt-get update
[17:51] <usr13> mariyan_: If that doesn't work, returns errors, do:  sudo apt-get -f install
[17:52] <usr13> mariyan_: If you encounter errors, tell us and we will help you further.
[17:52] <usr13> killer: no
[17:52] <effigy> can anyone help with banshee or rhythmbox issues?
[17:53] <usr13> killer: Oh,  you mean to start unity?
[17:53] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, which, moving back to apt-x or trying to get apt to tell me why? :)  Honestly, the issue I think I'm more concerned about is: that since I haven't used apt-get dist-upgrade in a very long time and since at the time it was used to upgrade from one distro to another, I am a little leery of arbitrarily issuing a dist-upgrade.  I get that so long as my repos haven't changed I should be fine.  still and all, dist-upgrad
[17:53] <zanberdo> e makes me nervous
[17:53] <usr13> killer: lightdm
[17:54] <zanberdo> !ask effigy
[17:54] <effigy> Banshee and Rhythmbox both crash in the middle of the song.

[17:55] <ElixirVitae> I've searched but haven't found anything regarding making icon locations in launcher persistent

[17:55] <usr13> !upgrade | zanberdo
[17:56] <effigy> Someone who knows latin strange..
[17:56] <wilee-nilee> zanberdo, I never use a dist-upgrade command I'm sure it has its place never needed here though, it is a in the distro command.
[17:56] <wilee-nilee> I update and upgrade everyday though
[17:56] <zanberdo> usr13, thanks. yes, I get that's how it's done now.  Back in the day though when one wanted to upgrade distros part of the procedure was to alter sources.list with the new distro (say changing dapper to edgy) then issue the dist-upgrade.
[17:57] <Guest52195> error while loading shared libraries: libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[17:57] <usr13> !it | effigy
[17:57] <usr13> zanberdo: That process has been automated.
[17:58] <zanberdo> wilee-nilee, yeah, I tend to upgrade every few days too.  It seems though each time I have one or more packages being kept back.  No worries, I feel confident that dist-upgrade will do what I'm seeking and I'll continue to use -V just to be sure ;)
[17:58] <zanberdo> usr13, /thumbs-up

[18:03] <akis> i have a usb tv device plugged on my system. the device is recognized as Nogatech USB TV Pal and usbvison seems to be working. I tried to paly tv using tvtime but i got the meesage that 'frames are too short' and 'Cannot open capture device /dev/vide0' and that there is 'no signal'. is there anything i can do to manage usbvision driver to be sure that drives my device and finally make it work?
[18:04] <llutz> akis: "ls -l /dev/video0"  does it exist?
[18:04] <akis> i ll check it. If no what does it mean? if yes?
[18:05] <phoinixGr> Hello! Got a really Mind blowing problem... It's been torturing me for days. So i've updated from ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. Everything went fine, except the touchpad and the laptop keyboard. After the update both was running in erradic ways. The keyboard is being repeiting at random times characters, and the touchpad, is working with resolution of one tick per second... :(
[18:05] <llutz> akis: "no" driver not working correct, "yes" driver loaded, device created, maybe permissions or driver-options issue
[18:05] <phoinixGr> So, i thought a clean install whould fix the problem... Here I am in clean ubuntu 12.04, and I have the same erradic mouse and keyboard
[18:06] <push> hi what is use of this "python-software-properties" thingy?
[18:06] <dr_willis> phoinixGr:  does a live cd have the same issue?  tried a 12.10 live cd?
[18:07] <phoinixGr> yes
[18:07] <phoinixGr> The live cd does the same
[18:07] <phoinixGr> Also clear console (not running X) does it
[18:07] <phoinixGr> is this kernel related?
[18:07] <phoinixGr> I don't get anything in dmesg
[18:07] <effigy> Can someone help all my music players keep crashing I have tried removing them and reinstalling but they keep crashing.
[18:08] <akis> thanks. i 'll check tomorrow when i will on that machine and i will report. is there any option to manage the driver?
[18:08] <dr_willis> effigy:  thats a 'windows' mindeset solution
[18:08] <phoinixGr> The laptop is a lenovo Y550P
[18:08] <dr_willis> effigy:  how about other players for video like vlc and totem?
[18:09] <effigy> yes I do know Dr_willis But i am willing to try anything once.
[18:09] <llutz> akis: "modinfo -p usbvision" tells you the options the module (optional) takes
[18:09] <effigy> Dr_willis: I have tried banshee rhythmbox amorok and one I can't pronounce/
[18:09] <dr_willis> effigy:  try thhhe guest user yet?
[18:10] <effigy> Dr_willis I have no idea what your talking about. still kind of noob to linux.
[18:10] <dr_willis> effigy:  so does the video players show the same issue? does the guest user on the login screen work?
[18:10] <lucid> OI LUCID2012
[18:10] <lucid2012> what
[18:10] <lucid> GET OUT
[18:10] <Layke> Sometimes I don't know what the command is that I want.. so I type out the first few characters.. and hit <tab> <tab>.  Is there a way that I could grep this output? (Since it's 300 items)
[18:10] <lucid2012> :( ok
[18:11] <effigy> dr_willis Yes they all crash with same issues and i haven't tried logging in as root or guest user.
[18:11] <akis> except tvtime are there any other tv players for analogue cards under ubuntu?
[18:12] <dr_willis> effigy:  sounds more like a sound driver issue. or pulse autio issue
[18:12] <llutz> !info xawtv |akis:
[18:12] <bernt> I want to get a password from the user during booting. If  I am right, I can use "plymouth ask-for-password" for this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth I added this command to the new file /etc/rc2.d/S99z. But it won't work. Lightdm is always loaded and no input box appears before.
[18:13] <effigy> Dr_willis I was thinking in those lines but still like i said Noob.. any ideas on what to do. the only one i have is remove and reinstall.
[18:13] <bizhanMona> HI Is there a way I can find out the list of all the packages installed on my system with their licenses?
[18:13] <jab416171|Cloud> how do I get google music to work?
[18:13] <dr_willis> bernt:  have it not start lightdm as a test?
[18:14] <akis> i downloaded xawtv but i didn't manage to save the setup configuration. i didn't either find the way to scan channels.
[18:14] <dr_willis> effigy:  run the player from the command line, run it till it crashes, look for eror messages
[18:15] <llutz> akis: sry i cannot  help you with that, it's ages ago i fiddled with analog tv last
[18:16] <akis> i know xwtv from suse, but finally i used other application under KDE. Now in ubuntu i am searching again what to do :-(
[18:17] <BluesKaj> akis, tvtime ?
[18:17] <aguitel_> how install propietaries driver for this card: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M ?
[18:18] <akis> tvtime looks ok, but it cannot recieve any signal form my device. i never managed to make tvtime work under suse.
[18:18] <dr_willis> tried the addational-drivers tool akis?
[18:19] <akis> sure. the 1st think i did. it scanned only my graphic card.
[18:20] <dr_willis> so you arer on one of those optimus dual gpu systems?
[18:21] <akis> i have to mention that my tv device worked fine under opensuse 11.2 but not in any other version after this one (11.4 etc). i had the hope that it would be a piece of cake for newest version of ubuntu to make ti work.
[18:21] <mafiaboy> hi...if i install gnome-panel....will it break tthe unity

[18:21] <dr_willis> !classic
[18:22] <dr_willis> mafiaboy:  it shouldent break anything
[18:22] <wilee-nilee> mafiaboy, No, you can install the gnome-shell and have the panel=classic and the gnome 3 desktop.
[18:22] <dr_willis> !fallback
[18:22] <darkensk> martinrame after you added ppa have you run sudo apt-get update?
[18:22] <martinrame> darkensk: yes, of course
[18:22] <Lint01> gnome-shell was intentionally broken in 12.04 for a certain period
[18:22] <BluesKaj> aguitel_, before you try proprietary drivers, try  System Settings -> Additional Drivers
[18:23] <aguitel_> BluesKaj, no driver found
[18:23] <aguitel_> BluesKaj, i am in 10.04
[18:23] <darkensk> hm thats interesting... maybe the 11677 is not finished yet...
[18:24] <BluesKaj> aguitel_, why 10.04 , that's a bit old
[18:24] <xangua> martinrame: https://launchpad.net/~cafuego/+archive/inkscape it says is building
[18:24] <martinrame> xangua: where?
[18:24] <aguitel_> BluesKaj coz this is old vaio laptop
[18:24] <xangua> in the ppa web...
[18:25] <martinrame> xangua: in the "Latest updates box"?
[18:25] <BluesKaj> aguitel_, how old ?
[18:25] <martinrame> xangua: it says "inkscape 16 hours ago. Waiting to build"
[18:25] <aguitel_> BluesKaj 2003
[18:25] <aguitel_> BluesKaj sony vaio PCG-FRV35
[18:26] <effigy> Oddly Enough it isn't crashing, scratches head and Wonders
[18:26] <xangua> more like waiting to build, not building, but yes is not ready martinrame; also remember you use a ppa on youw own risk and if that you have troblues with it contact the ppa maintainer
[18:26] <xangua> troubles*
[18:27] <martinrame> xangua: you are right. I'll try to contact its maintainer.
[18:27] <BluesKaj> aguitel_, how much Ram ?
[18:28] <aguitel_> Blue1, 512

[18:29] <sliffstar> how configure mozilla in order to accept DHCP
[18:29] <akis> ???
[18:29] <BluesKaj> aguitel_, is it slow on 10.04 , if not , it mighht run ok on 12.04 , it's LTS as well
[18:29] <wilee-nilee> akis, Generally IF i want everything removed I run a purge from apt-get
[18:30] <Monotoko> hey
[18:30] <aguitel_> BluesKaj, and what ati driver?
[18:30] <OerHeks> mozilla doen't use DHCP sliffstar
[18:30] <OerHeks> doesn't *
[18:30] <akis> and is it 100% sure that it works and deletes everything?
[18:30] <EsoRotica> Im dying here. I've been locking up and rebooting with 3 days of searching and I cant find the problem can someone help me attempt to get this resolved?
[18:31] <Monotoko> I would like to reinstall the OS on my server... does anybody know how I can backup my rtorrent if I don't have the .torrent files anymore?
[18:31] <sliffstar> OerHeks,  i  have been  trying log in  my dlink router using the browser interface but fails log in what can i do
[18:32] <OerHeks> sliffstar, reset your router to factory default and start over again with the manual of your router
[18:33] <sliffstar> OerHeks, i have already reset it  and thats why i do want to configure it from the scratch
[18:34] <akis> i found this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-completely-uninstall-a-package-237772/
[18:35] <wilee-nilee> !who > akis
[18:35] <OerHeks> sliffstar, your router manual will tell you what to do, default should set dhcp enabled.
[18:35] <sliffstar> its ya dlink 2640B   with default ip   <IP_ADDRESS>/
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> akis, If you run sudo apt-get purge "package name here" it is all removed
[18:36] <aLeSD> hi all
[18:36] <sliffstar> its ya dlink 2640B   with default ip   <IP_ADDRESS>/
[18:36] <sliffstar> its ya dlink 2640B   with default ip   <IP_ADDRESS> OerHeks
[18:37] <OerHeks> sliffstar, dunno, again, check the manual.
[18:37] <akis> yea. ok. thanks. i read also the advises given on the above link. i am sorry for any incovinient because i forgot to mention the nick.
[18:38] <sliffstar> OerHeks, ubuntu doesn't have command to work with the router
[18:38] <OerHeks> sliffstar, your browser is universal. no funny command needed.
[18:39] <Lasivian> It seems updating gvfs broke network browsing, is there any easy way to backup a package to an earlier version?
[18:40] <Lint01> install package=version
[18:40] <Lasivian> thanks
[18:41] <akis> wilee-nilee: does sudo apt-get purge affect also the /home files or do i have to remove them manually?
[18:42] <BluesKaj> sliffstar, do , route -n, you can get your router IP from under the gateway in the output
[18:42] <Lasivian> now to figure out how to find what number the previous package was, heh
[18:44] <fabiand> hey. I'm lookin for jeffdameth - is he sometimes in ere?
[18:44] <TJ-> Lasivian: try /var/log/apt/history.log

[18:51] <ztane> what is the best way to remove ecryptfs from home without losing data
[18:52] <B0g4r7_> Hi, I'm running Natty on an Atom-based system.  I find that whenever my CPU temperature reaches some (still unknown) temperature threshold, Gnome constantly pops up the "shut down this computer" dialog, as if I were repeatedly pressing the power button on the front of the system.  Is there any way to fix this?
[18:52] <B0g4r7_> 59C seems to be hot enough to trigger it.
[18:53] <Lasivian> screw it, i'll just update to 12.04 and give myself more headaches :)
[18:53] <B0g4r7_> If I load the CPU up for too long, it'll start happening after a while.
[18:53] <Lasivian> at least I know what is likely to happen, right? heh
[18:54] <B0g4r7_> Take the load off, temp goes down, all good until I load it up again and it gets "too hot" again,
[18:54] <B0g4r7_> IMO, 59C is not "too hot" for the CPU.
[18:55] <BluesKaj> B0g4r7_, what's your defintion of "load up" ?
[18:55] <ztane> Lasivian: sure thing :D
[18:55] <ztane> how do i move ecryptfs mount point from /home/ztane to /home/ztane/Private, is it possible :?
[18:55] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: 62 is the threshhold for desktop amd
[18:55] <B0g4r7_> I'm running two Litecoin Miner threads on it.  They crunch hashes continuously.
[18:56] <B0g4r7_> It's a dual-core CPU with HT.
[18:56] <B0g4r7_> This would be Mobile Intel.
[18:58] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: your cooler might not be adequate for constant full load
[18:58] <effigy> hey dr_willis I have some sort of erroir gtk-critical ia_gtk_widget_event failed mean anything to you?>
[18:59] <B0g4r7_> Core 1:      +59.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)
[18:59] <B0g4r7_> It seems to be saying it's rated up to 90C.
[18:59] <B0g4r7_> I regularly run my GPUs up to 80C.
[18:59] <firesofmay> Hi, I am getting held back packages for emacs. And If I do a dist-upgrade, after it finishes I can't see emacs anywhere. Any help?
[18:59] <Lasivian> I was running 10.04 anyway, that probably won;t be supported much longer
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> I'm wondering if I can change the threshold in software somewhere.
[19:00] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: 90C should refer to a virtual core temperature, which is computed, not measured directly
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> That and also the behavior of popping up the dialog continuously is broken.
[19:00] <krababbel> it is probably hardwired to protect the cpu
[19:00] <B0g4r7_> Well something in Gnome is triggering this box to pop up.
[19:00] <Lasivian> yeah, april 2013, time to update
[19:01] <B0g4r7_> If it were hardwired I would expect it to take some action besides just attempting to prompt the user.
[19:01] <B0g4r7_> Some action like powering-off the system.
[19:01] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: usually it will throttle the cpu, and even shut down if needed, yes
[19:02] <B0g4r7_> That's what my iMacs would do when they got too hot.  Power off.
[19:05] <ztane> I did this: ecryptfs-umount-private; nano /home/.ecryptfs/ztane/.ecryptfs : /home/ztane -> /home/ztane/Private and then ecryptfs-mount-private - any problems expected?
[19:05] <effigy> are you there dr_willis?
[19:06] <effigy> can someone help with a banshee error? I ran it in terminal mode and got a crash report.
[19:08] <awole20> hey #ubuntu - fair bit of a nub on this one, but I'm having some issues connecting to a vnc via remmina.
[19:08] <gordonjcp> effigy: pastebin the error and tell us all about it
[19:09] <awole20> can connect to the vnc server, but my screen then gets fairly unresponsive. I'm able to focus on windows with the mouse, but nothing else.
[19:09] <krababbel> B0g4r7_: yes, they are pretty extreme builds, wouldn't happen usually with bigger cooling - but don't know about gnome heat protection

[19:13] <effigy> does the same thing
[19:13] <ilias> hi all. i installed unetbootin on my 12.04 xubuntu system. my 2nd lang is greek. 1st lang is english and i have the english version installed on my system. although my system is on english unetbootin is in greek. i read here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/commands all the commands about unetbootin. i tried this one "unetbootin lang=es" and the program started in english lang. but when  tiried to start it from the main menu it
[19:13] <ilias> started again in greek.is there any option to make it start always in english?
[19:14] <effigy> they all play for a little while sometimes one song sometimes half a song then they drop and crash.
[19:16] <afidfs> Yo. I just took my laptop apart for general cleaning and there is grey gunk on the GPU.... what is it and should something be done about it?

[19:49] <alazyworkaholic> I have 12.04, but just installed 8.04 on an disused old disk to run some programs that don't work in 12.04. I updated grub2 from 12.04, and (5) 8.04 entries appear in the boot selection list, but selecting them leads to: error: no such device ; error: no such partition; error: you need to load the kernel first.

[19:52] <subcool> ok, now i really need help. :/ - I tried to copy/move my /var and /home directories to their own partition. Now- i cant log in. When i boot up, i get to the login screen. For which i am dropped to a terminal screen
[19:53] <OerHeks> subcool, nice move, why did you do that ?
[19:53] <llutz> subcool: have you adjusted UUIDs in /etc/fstab to the new values? did /var /home mount?
[19:53] <genii-around> subcool: Did you make fstab entries corresponding to the new locations? Also, when you copied the files did you preserve permissions,ownership, etc
[19:54] <xubuntu> i need help
[19:55] <subcool> llutz, genii-around  i edited fstab, maybe not properly. but i tried. idk if they mounted- i tried to preserve ownership- .. but i dont know at this point..

[19:56] <subcool> llutz, im in a liveusb now- could i find out from there?
[19:56] <llutz> subcool: if you get a terminal, you can fix the stuff

[19:58] <subcool> llutz, can i just mount them via dolphin?
[19:58] <m3pow> could it be a bad burned bootable DVD ?
[19:58] <subcool> m3pow, once i fix this filesystem thing- im formatting again.
[19:58] <llutz> subcool: do it however you like, its just important that you find the right files after mounting

[20:03] <llutz> subcool: change it now, check it twice, reboot

[20:26] <lauratika> sda1 ubuntu sda2 the applications space... or what means persistance.

[20:28] <subcool> llutz, no go
[20:28] <babilen> I've just witnessed very high CPU usage on a wubi installed system caused by mount.ntfs -- The system has been upgraded to precise from maverick AFAIK and generally shows abysmal performance. I am not that well versed in the technical details of wubi, but I recommended a complete new install of either precise or Debian. Can you think of a better way to deal with this?
[20:29] <drecute> TJ-: you mean path to mcollective?
[20:29] <babilen> I could dig into the BTS to find applicable bug reports, but wanted to ask if this is a known thing first
[20:29] <TJ-> drecute: no, the environment path for the root user at that point do "echo $PATH"
[20:29] <subcool> upon boot, i am pushed directly to terminal. i see a bunch of /user/libupdate path errors
[20:30] <drecute> TJ-: I have: PATH="/opt/emperor/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle/bin"
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> babilen: did you upgrade to Natty and then to Oneiric in between?
[20:30] <pefi> Hi! I have a problem with touchpad. It started about a month ago, after an upgrade. The touchpad works, scrolling works, but active area of the pad doesn't match physical size. There is a non-active stripe on right side, where I used to have scroll area. I tried to tweak xconf settings, but no luck.  Some info (kernel and dmesg | grep -I pad). Any ideas how to fix it?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> pefi: you may need to define the area in an xorg.conf
[20:31] <bekks> BEC: Did you format your home partition (if you had one) while reinstalling Ubuntu?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> babilen: or did you upgrade direct from Maverick to Precise
[20:31] <babilen> ActionParsnip: It is not my system, but I could clarify that. I had the impression that it was upgraded directly from 10.04 (sorry, that should have been lucid) -- Essentially the last LTS release.
[20:32] <tty01> anyone have pxeboot configured?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: maverick is 10.10, not 10.04. Did you upgrade from 10.04 (lucid) to 12.04 directly?
[20:32] <sirspazzolot> would anybody be able to check the prices of a caddy/drive at system76 for me?
[20:32] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Just clarified: It was Lucid -> Precise.
[20:32] <drecute> TJ-:  could it be that I can't have mco client and mco server on the same machine?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: ggood, thats fine :)
[20:32] <BEC> bekks: I did after I backed it up (was deleting some folders & files i no longer need; hope i didn't mess it up!). what should I look for?
[20:32]  * pefi trying to tweak xorg .conf again...
[20:32] <TJ-> drecute: OK. That looks a but messed up since several entries are repeated, but the location of mc-ping is there (/usr/sbin/) so now find out if it can be found on the path by doing "which pc-ping"
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> babilen: what video chip do you use?
[20:33] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know. Sorry for the confusion. Are you aware of many problems like that with wubi installed systems?
[20:33] <bekks> BEC: You should look for your key files then, in your backup.
[20:33] <BEC> bekks: .asc ?
[20:33] <bekks> BEC: .asc is just your ascii fingerprint.
[20:34] <BEC> where do i find them?
[20:34] <SilfenX> anyone know of a bittorrent client other than Vuze that can do this? http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g98/spiggot_2006/Skrmklipp.jpg
[20:34] <arterrious> so anyone want to help me get my sound working?
[20:34] <babilen> ActionParsnip: I am not actually in front of the machine -- Is high CPU usage by mount.ntfs typically associated with a particular GPU?
[20:34] <drecute> TJ-:  returns void
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> babilen: isthe NTFS partition healthy?
[20:35] <subcool> Ok- i suppose he is on a bit of a break. So- HEy TJ- im back. lol- that project last night didnt work.
[20:35] <TJ-> drecute: Then there's another exectuable file of the same name in the PATH before the real one at /usr/sbin/mc-ping. Check the path directories starting with the first, see if there is another instance of mc-ping
[20:35] <TJ-> subcool: Uhoh!
[20:35] <babilen> ActionParsnip: I have no idea -- One of my roomates just asked me to take a look at her machine and I couldn't help her much as I am not that familiar with wubi installations. All I could soo was an awful lot of I/O caused by mount.ntfs and a very high system load (>5) for a laptop.
[20:35] <arterrious> so i have a fresh install of 12.04 and alsamixer isn't muted any ideas why my sound isn't working?
[20:36] <bekks> BEC: By default, gpg stores its keys in ~/.gnupg/
[20:36] <BEC> found it
[20:36] <BEC> bekks: found it :D now what?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> babilen: boot to windows and run a scandisk and defrag
[20:36] <subcool> TJ-, yea- bad.. llutz helped me fix a bunch of it- appears my fstab didnt save, and i forgot to update the new swap file. But now im hving major issue logging in. When i get to where im supposed to login- i get kicked back to terminal.
[20:36] <TJ-> drecute: That "/opt/emperor/bin" looks unusual - and that is first in the search order
[20:36] <bekks> BEC: Did you search in your backup?
[20:37] <BEC> yeh; found .gnupg
[20:37] <subcool> TJ-, and i see a bunch of /usr/lib/update path errors when i do log in to my user...
[20:37] <babilen> ActionParsnip: So this is a rather atypical case and you don't have many people coming here with symptoms like that? I can happily come up with a couple of relevant bug reports ... I suggested to perform a real Ubuntu (or Debian) installation, but wanted to ask first.
[20:37] <TJ-> subcool: You mean, for a GUI log-in, or just a standard console ?
[20:37] <Kishi> Does anyone, by a chance, know what could possibly cause inverted colours on all YouTube videos? I get this both on Firefox and rekonq, and It works perfectly on Windows, so it's the OS
[20:37] <subcool> TJ-, kinda both? - im not given the chance to gui- log in- and then i also receive those errors i just mentioned when logging into terminal
[20:37] <bekks> BEC: Then copy them backup to your ~/.gnupg/
[20:37] <SilfenX> Kishi: thats what you get when you have too many bells and whistles and switches and leavers
[20:37] <TJ-> subcool: Are you able to boot into a recovery environment from GRUB ?
[20:38] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Ok, we can try that. Given that she uses Ubuntu most of the time anyway I just think that it might be a better solution to actually perform a real installation and not rely on whatever strange things wubi is doing.
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> babilen: `wubi is installed to a file on your NTFS, if the file system is inconsistant then it directly affects ubuntu.
[20:38] <Kishi> SilfenX: What was that supposed to mean?
[20:38] <subcool> TJ-, im brought to a recovery options menu- but from there im kinda confused and stuck. when i choose shell, it wont let me log in with my user..
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> babilen: yes I'd go for a clean install of precise. fixes a lot of things. I think wubi is a nasty idea
[20:38] <babilen> ActionParsnip: I am aware of that. I'll investigate this further from the Windows host, but will probably just replace the entire installation with a real one.
[20:39] <TJ-> subcool: Using recovery, you are 'root' all the time, you shouldn't need to log-in as a user whilst you fix the system
[20:39] <SilfenX> Kishi: that linux still is for tech geeks and tinkers
[20:39] <babilen> ActionParsnip: Yeah, wubi feels wrong, but I am not too familiar with its implementation. Thanks for the tips and may you have a nice evening.
[20:39] <BEC> bekks: all files? (.conf|.gpg|)? replace the ones in my current home? (what would happen to contents of the currents?)
[20:39] <TJ-> babilen: One way to find out where the bottle-neck is, would be to check if the kernel is spending a lot of time waiting on I/O "sudo iotop"
[20:40] <Kishi> SilfenX: I am aware. I hoped to find those geeks here, though.
[20:40] <bekks> BEC: When overwriting files, the overwritten file content is lost. Thats what happens when overwriting files. :)
[20:40] <retrorex> hey can I use e2fsck on linux to check for errors in windows partition
[20:40] <bekks> No.
[20:40] <p1l0t> So I just noticed after installing ubuntu server off a usb I cannot reboot without the usb. When I put the key in it boots off the HDD though..
[20:40] <Kishi> So I could get help with some issues  until I'm educated well enough to solve them on my own
[20:40] <p1l0t> key == usb
[20:41] <BEC> bekks: I do know that, hehe; I meant don't they contain anything imp? or just default files?
[20:41] <bekks> BEC: The existing files are default files.
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  I just got confirmation from #puppet that there's no such program as mc-ping any longer
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  It's not mco ping
[20:41] <joeghi> anyone installed the distro on a macbook with retina display?
[20:41] <drecute> TJ-:  mco ping works fine then
[20:42] <bekks> joeghi: Why?
[20:42] <BEC> bekks: done
[20:42] <BEC> now what
[20:42] <retrorex> can I use e2fsck to check for errors in windows partion which is not mounted
[20:42] <BEC> ?
[20:42] <bekks> BEC: Use gpg as you used it before.
[20:43] <retrorex> ugypoi\
[20:43] <bekks> retrorex: No.
[20:43] <p1l0t> I guess my HDD has a bad grub install?
[20:43] <retrorex> bekks why
[20:43] <bekks> retrorex: Because e2fsck does not support windows filesystems.
[20:44] <subcool> TJ-, so ur saying use recovery .. and select which option?
[20:44] <babilen> TJ-: I've done that already (second thing actually) and confirmed that a lot of I/O is performed by mount.ntfs for which I blame wubi.
[20:45] <retrorex> bekks windows is in a NTFS partition
[20:45] <bekks> retrorex: And still e2fsck does not support NTFS.
[20:45] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, From the cli you can put grub in the mbr.
[20:46] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: hows that
[20:46] <retrorex> @bekks is there a way in which I can check 4 errors in windows partion NTFS
[20:47] <bekks> retrorex: Only by booting windows and running a filesystem check.
[20:47] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, boot to the cli with the usb, run sudo fdisk -l to make sure you know how the HD os read the run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX  X=the HD
[20:47] <uberhonky> guys, I have to interact with a gui on a remote system. I do so via ssh -X and bring up said program. Thing is, it needs to run for hours and hours and hours, so i would like to somehow suspend the whole thing, graphics and all to the BG. And then at a later time or from another computer resume that graphical window, is this possible?
[20:47] <wilee-nilee> s/is
[20:47] <retrorex> @bekks k thakz
[20:48] <TJ-> babilen: OK, what processes are running when you see the activity for mount.ntfs ? Maybe something is scanning/searching/indexing the disk
[20:48] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, If you are root omit the sudo
[20:48] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: thanks
[20:48] <Danielpk> i trying to open port 80 to incoming requests, ufw status show 80 is enabled i tried to configure iptables but nothing work. Any tip?
[20:48] <subcool> TJ-, i have; resume, clean,dpkg,fsck,grub,network,root,system-summar
[20:48] <TJ-> uberhonky: Did you try out xpra?
[20:48] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, No problem I always custom install I want to know where grub is going, and on occasion a usb will reverse the HD.
[20:49] <babilen> TJ-: I've performed an "apt-get dist-upgrade" and the I/O was caused during the unpacking step. Which is not really surprising, but shouldn't cause *that* much load.
[20:49] <uberhonky> yea, thing is, Its not for me, its for a client, and they need to also do it via cygwin on a windows box
[20:49] <uberhonky> so I'm hoping there is another way
[20:49] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: yeah no * under the boot for the main HD
[20:49] <uberhonky> but from a linux install it works well
[20:49] <TJ-> subcool: If you choose "network" it'll start networking and then drop you at a root shell where you can investigate the logs, edit files, and generally fix things up
[20:49] <subcool> TJ-, it error' like crazy, and brought me back to the menu
[20:50] <TJ-> uberhonky: I was remoting via SSH earlier to fix a server for someone, and they use nomachine (NX) from home to connect to the dual-monitor desktop of their office service
[20:50] <Praxi> hmm openshot doesn't work the way I expect.  I have a video, trying to trim off the front and back, I click the trim button and drag the play bar around, but then the video gets out of sync with the preview really hard to tell what I'm doing.
[20:50] <BEC> bekks: THANKS :D
[20:50] <TJ-> subcool: OK, that sounds like it's major broken. I'd recommend booting from the USB device again and fixing it whilst it is offline. That gives you some stability
[20:51] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, If you are refrencing a boot flag it is not needed.
[20:51] <subcool> ok, ill pop a usb in - but.. what do i do from there?
[20:51] <BEC> bekks: had I lost them what could have I done?
[20:51] <subcool> TJ-, all i did was move/copy the file system. Maybe not all the files copied correctly?
[20:52] <TJ-> subcool: The way I do it is, create a mount point /target/   and mount the problem file-system root to it, then mount any additional file-systems (/home/ /var/ etc.) into it ( /target/home/ /target/var/ and so on) then explore the logs and cross check against the good running system to figure out what's wrong/missing
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: tried some of the other video editting tools?
[20:53] <TJ-> subcool: "all I did" - that's a pretty big ALL !! In fact, it's an OMG what did you do!?
[20:53] <Praxi> ActionParsnip, installing Keno? now
[20:53] <subcool> TJ-, lol -
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: are you using KDE?
[20:53] <subcool> TJ-, copy/paste!? lol
[20:54] <subcool> TJ-, i understand what ur saying about compare and adjust- but- to me... i have no clue on whats wrong.
[20:54] <Praxi> I don't think so, installed some mac theme to fool my boss into thinking I was working on a mac
[20:54] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: brb.. I hope.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: theme is moot, if you aren't using KDE, you wil pull in a tonne of Qt deps
[20:55] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu comes with most Qt libraries by default now
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: tried: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: really?
[20:56] <Praxi> haven't tried lightworks, trying kino now will move to that later
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215641/   177Mb for a torrent client, I'd disagree strongly
[20:57] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: those are mostly KDE libraries
[20:57] <tsimpson> and dependencies-of
[20:57] <subcool> TJ-, so where do i begin?
[20:58] <subcool> TJ-, maybe i just need to copy the /home directory with better attributes?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: but all that will be installed if a user installs KDE apps in a Gnome deskop is my point
[20:59] <tsimpson> ActionParsnip: yes, but you'll pull in KDE deps, not really any Qt deps
[20:59] <tsimpson> the converse is true for someone in KDE who wants a Gnome game, but not so much for a GTK+ game
[20:59] <Praxi> ActionParsnip, lightworks isn't available yet on ubuntu is it?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: I guess, but you see my point :)
[21:00] <bekks> BEC: Nothing. Loosing your private key means you have no chance to recover it.
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: October 30th apparently, gah
[21:01] <Praxi> ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being thick and missed something :)
[21:01] <BEC> bekks: oh; glad I backed up my home then, not just my selected folders!
[21:01] <BEC> thanks again :D
[21:01] <p1l0t> wilee-nilee: PERFECT your are the best. Worked like a charm. May good fortune suround you. :D
[21:01] <bekks> BEC: you're welcome
[21:01] <wilee-nilee> p1l0t, Cool, enjoy. ;)
[21:02] <zenmaster> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 on a Hp wx9300.
[21:02] <zenmaster> It gets to a part about logging into iSCSI.
[21:02] <zenmaster> To do the parititons.
[21:02] <zenmaster> I just read somewhere that ubuntu has not had support for SCSI since 8.04.
[21:02] <krababbel> !punctuation
[21:02] <zenmaster> Does this mean I should be installing centos on this rig.
[21:03] <zenmaster> krababbel: There is nothing wrong with the way I am typing.
[21:03] <zenmaster> This is me trying to support this distrobution of Linux.
[21:04] <jrib> zenmaster: I think !enter is more appropriate (try to keep your questions on one line; don't use enter as punctuation)
[21:04] <zenmaster> jrib: That is awesome, ok no problem. Do you have a solutio nor suggestio to my problem?
[21:05] <roychri> Let's say I want to buy a new machine ( 8 cores, 16GB RAM ) and have this machine dedicated to run virtual machines with ubuntu on each instance.  Is there some kind of OS specialized to do just that?
[21:05] <zenmaster> So instead of bring a solution to my problem, crack at the way I type. Ok.....
[21:06] <jrib> zenmaster: please, stay on-topic.  If someone knows the answer, they will help you.  Don't be offended by the factoids, they're there to try to make the channel more usable
[21:06] <krababbel> zenmaster: do you use scsi or iscsi
[21:06] <zenmaster> krababbel: Yes, as it is the only drive in this system.
[21:07] <wilee-nilee> roychri, This is support not imaginary setups
[21:07] <subcool> If anyone else has an idea on how to fix this- im all ears..
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> roychri: ESX is a dedicated VMware Linux platform
[21:07] <roychri> wilee-nilee: Well, I do want that setup.  Sorry for misunderstanding
[21:07] <jrib> !helpme | subcool
[21:08] <zenmaster> Does ubuntu server 12.04 support SCSI.
[21:08] <bekks> Yes.
[21:08] <subcool> jrib, have u even been paying attention?
[21:08] <jrib> subcool: no, that's the point.
[21:08] <zenmaster> bekks: Would you please inform me on how to get it installed on that drive.
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> subcool: have you tried rsync / grsync
[21:08] <subcool> exactly- so dont get ubottu happy with me.
[21:08] <subcool> ActionParsnip, nope-
[21:08] <bekks> zenmaster: On which drive exactly?
[21:09] <bekks> zenmaster: Which SCSI controller do you have exactly?
[21:09] <roychri> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I will check that out
[21:09] <zenmaster> bekks: I have a hp wx9300 workstation.  It has one SCSI drive on it. It is a LSI controller.
[21:09] <subcool> ActionParsnip, would that work with a '/home' directory copy?
[21:09] <bekks> zenmaster: Which LSI controller?
[21:09] <jrib> subcool: it's better to just repeat your question after a reasonable amount of time if no one can help you.  You're more likely to get help that way.  Some people may have just joined and have no clue about what you are talking about
[21:09] <zenmaster> bekks: one second.
[21:09] <subcool> Given the fact, all i did was move the /home directory and /var - my assumtions are that something didnt copy corrrectly.
[21:10] <zenmaster> bekks: LSI ARM Fusion MPT.
[21:10] <subcool> jrib, its better to ask = what r u having issues with, not send an ubottu bot after me because ur not paying attention.
[21:11] <zenmaster> bekks: I just found some sort of link also. ;)
[21:11] <delinquentme> can someone explain why lines 3-5 show up when I run this grep? http://pastie.org/4755875
[21:11] <subcool> jrib, i've been working llutz and TJ- on my issue for a WHILE - im not going to just rudely pretend they arent helping and ask someone else for new help. Im just saying if anyone else that is listen has an idea... to chime in.
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> subcool: its any folder to folder copy, or to sftp over LAN/WAN
[21:12] <TJ-> subcool: Where've you got to? The system running the USB stick now?
[21:12] <subcool> TJ-, yea- im on 12.04 usblive. - its running funny- but it;ll do for now.
[21:13] <roychri> ActionParsnip: KVM is like ESX?
[21:13] <mouse_> I'm trying to install a couple games from the latest humble bundle and I keep getting this error: "Overflow detected: Not enough space for widget".  It's using the latest version of nixstaller and googling the error isn't helping.  Does anyone have experience with this?
[21:13] <subcool> keyboard video mouse??? roychri ??
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> roychri: ESX is a redhat based linux distro, check it out online
[21:14] <subcool> I thought ESX was a Vmware program...
[21:14] <roychri> subcool: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)
[21:14] <bekks> ESX is a product of the VMware company.
[21:14] <roychri> ESX Seems to be commerial product
[21:14] <zenmaster> bekks: Any ideas?
[21:14] <goddard> is it possible to run an ubuntu desktop without java?
[21:15] <jrib> goddard: sure
[21:15] <bekks> zenmaster: What happens exactly when trying to install the ubuntu server?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: did you run the command with sudo?
[21:15] <goddard> jrib: so all the unity programs and gnome stuff isn't written in java?
[21:15] <mouse_> ActionParsnip, I did indeed and it made no difference.
[21:15] <jrib> goddard: I don't know
[21:16] <jrib> goddard: my guess is "no" but I took your question to mean, "is it possible to run some sort of desktop on ubuntu w/o java"
[21:16] <ska> Will Web-X work in Ubuntu 12?
[21:16] <jrib> goddard: try uninstalling java and see what apt wants to take away :)
[21:16] <wizardd> is anyone aware of the situation with gma3600&3650 gfx chips? is there working driver in 3.4 kernel for it?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1678779   same error here
[21:16] <goddard> jrib: ahh hahah ok
[21:17] <jrib> goddard: it will ask for confirmation, so make sure you don't say "yes" if it wants to take away half of your packages
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: have you contacted the humble bundle guys?
[21:17] <Ineluctable> Does the Ubuntu Alternate Installation install a Graphical User Interface?  I want to install a Encrypted LVM with a minimal installation.  I do not need the X server or Gnome or whatever Ubuntu calls there desktop now.
[21:18] <zenmaster> bekks: I Choose Keyboard, I choose network config, I create user, choose time zeon. It gets to the screen that says [!] Partition Disscs. And asks me to...
[21:18] <jrib> Ineluctable: alternate install will install a desktop by default I think.  Maybe you can use the minimal install if that still exists
[21:18] <jrib> !minimal | Ineluctable
[21:18] <mouse_> ActionParsnip, Yeah there seems to be a lot of printer drivers that have the same issue and everyone's solution is to just find a different version of the installer.  And no I haven't contacted them yet.  I assumed they would be pretty busy.  And since it's happening with a few games then it's probably something that's wrong with either nixstaller or my system.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> intransit: yes the alternate installer gives a desktop OS
[21:19] <zenmaster> bekks: 1) Configure iSCSI volumes, 2)Blank(Literally nothin gthere) 3) undo changes to partitions 4) finish partitioning and write changes to disk.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: they have great support :)
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> mouse_: try a reboot too
[21:20] <krababbel> zenmaster: iscsi is not scsi, it is a network drive
[21:20] <bekks> zenmaster: In the boot screen, did you check the boot options? Maybe you have a chance to load the mpt driver, or at least you have a chance to use the expert install which will allow you to load more modules.
[21:20] <zenmaster> krababbel: This 12.04 server doe snot support this SCSI controller than.
[21:20] <mouse_> ActionParsnip, I suppose I'll let them know the error then.  Hopefully they can pass it along.  And I've been working on this issue since last night so rebooting doesn't make a difference.
[21:20] <zenmaster> Or at least out of the box.
[21:20] <Ineluctable> The minimal cd will allow me to setup a encrypted lvm, and encrypt my home directory during the installation correct?
[21:21] <zenmaster> bekks: I did check the advanced options and triedlike don't load dmaraid.
[21:21] <bekks> krababbel: Which is not true. iSCSI is SCSI over IP presenting a block device, not a network share. :)
[21:21] <bekks> zenmaster: Then try the expert install and try to load the mpt module.
[21:21] <krababbel> bekks: ok, just thought the installer might not find local scsi drives when you choose the iscsi optio
[21:21] <zenmaster> bekks: I think I will probably need assistance with that since I have never done that before.
[21:22] <zenmaster> I just want to test performance of this rig over my current server which is a Dell Power edge 2800.
[21:22] <allure> I need a powerful tool to convert HD videos to mp4... any tips? :)
[21:23] <allure> I have 24G of RAM on a core i7 and would like to take advantage of it
[21:23] <dr_willis> allure:  ffmpeg, mencoder, most gui front ends and tools can do that.
[21:23] <ana69> Hola buenas noches
[21:23] <zenmaster> bekks: Are you willing to give me some assistence during this? :)
[21:23] <bekks> zenmaster: As far as I can, sure. :)
[21:23] <dr_willis> allure:  be sure the multithread encoding features are enabled.
[21:23] <malkauns_> anyone here use byobu? how do u stop the status bar text from flashing?
[21:23] <allure> dr_willis, oh! Where do I check that?
[21:23] <dr_willis> malkauns_:  it dosent flash here.
[21:23] <zenmaster> bekks: Thank you, So to start with I chose expert mode, And I see the Installer main Menu.
[21:23] <vlt> !es | ana69
[21:24] <malkauns_> dr_willis, for me it flashes on refresh
[21:24] <dr_willis> allure:  in the docs for whatever tool you are using. I noticed it one day in winff it was just using 1 core. I had to add a option to the cli settings
[21:24] <malkauns_> dr_willis, didn't use to do that before
[21:24] <ana69> ¿es muy dificil configurar el ubuntu?
[21:24] <bekks> zenmaster: Just go through all options in the installer menu, starting from top. Most of them are self-explanatory, literally.
[21:24] <ana69> ¿es muy dificil configurar el ubuntu?
[21:24] <allure> dr_willis, yeah, that is the reason I came here to ask... I am using WinFF and it is not fast at all. Maybe that's the reason! :)
[21:24] <Otkrick> bind, rrset. Please, help me (http://pastebin.com/0MWcp4R1)
[21:24] <allure> ana69, use el canal #ubuntu-es
[21:25] <zenmaster> bekks: I figured it would be some console commands to load the extra modules.
[21:25] <vlt> ana69: No, non es dificil. Vai a #ubuntu-es.
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  I  recall getting the exact info from the askubuntu forums I think on ffmpeg multithread or winff multithread options
[21:25] <zenmaster> I have been running linux for years and years. My os of choice back in the day was Slakware. Started at 4. :)
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  watch your cpu load. here it would 100% 1 core.
[21:25] <ana69> vale gracias
[21:25] <dr_willis> allure:  of course your whold system will start lagging if you use too many threads
[21:25] <bekks> zenmaster: Loading modules is the same troughout all distros ;) modprobe mpt and dmesg :)
[21:26] <allure> dr_willis, I thought there was some way to optimize the encoding proccess... my video files are all above 1G each and I have to encode 12 of them per day! :)
[21:27] <zenmaster> bekks: Right. Been a while since I have had to do that. :)
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> allure: tried renicing the process to a vale of -10 or similar?
[21:27] <allure> ActionParsnip, yeah, I tried -19 even :/
[21:27] <zenmaster> bekks: So I need to enter console from this installer menu to get to the point where I need to install mpt module?
[21:27] <razieliyo> hi
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> allure: yikes
[21:27] <dr_willis> allure:  from the winff docs (i just looked) it uses  '-threads 2'  if multithreading is enabled. you can set it to use moar..
[21:28] <bekks> zenmaster: BAsically no. You can switch through the installer menu entries.
[21:28] <dr_willis> allure:  faster speeds  can result in worse quality.. so its a trade off. if you are using all your cores. ;)
[21:28] <razieliyo> how can I change my video driver? it used to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but now I just have this: http://pastebin.com/AWUCexCh
[21:28] <zenmaster> bekks: I do not see it in the "Load installer componets from CD" menu.
[21:28] <allure> dr_willis, yes, there is an option in the preferences to allow it to use multithreads. I hope it improves the speed, cause i need much much moar :)
[21:28] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  by default these days X auto configures. xorg.conf is only needed in a few cases.
[21:28] <allure> dr_willis, thank you :)
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: so, how can I change the video driver?
[21:29] <dr_willis> allure:  I think you want threads  one less then the # of cores.
[21:29] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  what video card?
[21:29] <allure> dr_willis, I can dedicate the machine to encoding, so it's no biggy :)
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: I have nvidia, but I'd like to run my SO in other system with ati
[21:29] <razieliyo> dr_willis: so, I want to be able to change the driver
[21:29] <dr_willis> allure:  you may want to see what command line winff is using, and use it as a base to tweak your own set of alias's
[21:30] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  use the addational-drivers tool to disable it.
[21:30] <allure> dr_willis, yeah, cool idea :)
[21:30] <razieliyo> dr_willis: thanks!
[21:30] <dr_willis> xorg.conf for nvidia is only needed here when i enable twinview and a few other features.
[21:30] <zenmaster> bekks: I tihnk i may see what is going on here./
[21:30] <razieliyo> dr_willis: additional-drivers tool?
[21:31] <dr_willis> razieliyo:  yes.. its in the menus. its the tool you used to install/enable the ati/nvidia/other special drivers
[21:31] <dr_willis> from the cli = 'jockey-gtk'
[21:31] <razieliyo> dr_willis: hmmm this weird thing about graphical stuff
[21:31] <razieliyo> I prefered it by text
[21:32] <dr_willis> jockey-text then...
[21:32] <dr_willis> ;P
[21:32] <dr_willis> You want an easy way to enable/disable them... thats the tool to use.
[21:32] <razieliyo> okay, dr_willis! that was what I was looking for =)
[21:32] <razieliyo> thanks for this
[21:32] <razieliyo> I'm a bit outdated
[21:32] <dr_willis> I thought if you just had them both installed and no xorg.conf X SHOULD auto-detect and use the proper drivers.
[21:33] <dr_willis> but been ages since ive moved stuff from an ati->nvidia system
[21:33] <razieliyo> yes, in fact me too, I've not used ati almost never
[21:33] <s3r3n1t7> dr_willis, that's correct, it should just work properly. However, it may require you to reenable the other drivers after you switch cards/system.
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: ahhh shouldloand :)
[21:33] <dr_willis> the open sourced driver may work fine for your system on the ati card.
[21:34] <dr_willis> in which case if you got the nvidia driver installed.. move to an ati system.. the open sourced ati driver should kick in. and work.
[21:34] <dr_willis> since its installed by default. ;0
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: http://pastie.org/4755989
[21:35] <razieliyo> is xserver-xorg-video-ati the name for the ati driver?
[21:35] <aguitel> i need to install old ubuntu version in old laptop ,can i run update and upgrade with repos?
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> razieliyo: its the package containing it
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: if you have an old laptop, install Xubuntu or Lubuntu and it will use fewer resources
[21:36] <zenmaster> bekks: Not wanting to read the USBkey.... for modules.
[21:36] <s3r3n1t7> aguitel, updates are a oneway progress. There's no way to install an old version. Best thing would be to use ActionParsnip's suggestion, install Xubuntu or Lubuntu.
[21:36] <razieliyo> so, shouldn't I see that ati driver if I run jockey-gtk?
[21:37] <dr_willis> are you on the ati system?
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 but i want to install ati drivers
[21:37] <dr_willis> the open sourced ati driver is installed by default. the fglrx driver is the ones from ati/amd.
[21:37] <razieliyo> dr_willis: no
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, s3r3n1t7 only in old version avaleable
[21:37] <razieliyo> oh, okay, I understand
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: do you mean the proprietary ones?
[21:37] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, yes
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[21:38] <razieliyo> so if I'm on the ati system, standard open source drivers will be loaded automatically
[21:38] <dr_willis> Unless you are doing some gaming or other fancy 3d stuff on the ati system. the open soueced drivers should be fine. if they work
[21:38] <dr_willis> which may be a BIG if. ;)
[21:38] <razieliyo> yes, the thing is that I need them to play minecraft
[21:39] <razieliyo> silence came after I said that
[21:39] <zenmaster> How do you load modules during a Ubuntu Server 12.04 install?
[21:40] <aguitel> razieliyo, ok
[21:40] <zenmaster> Or pior?
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> zenmaster: there may be a boot option....let me see
[21:41] <Guest90273> hi
[21:41] <zenmaster> ActionParsnip: Thanks. :)
[21:42] <dr_willis> 'friends dont let friends play minecraft'
[21:42] <dr_willis> ;P
[21:42] <Guest90273> just installed xubuntu 12.04 trying to install wine
[21:44] <vlt> Hello. After the last update on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I can’t watch some youtube videos anymore.  I switched on HTML5, then purged and installed “flashplugin-nonfree”, but nothing helps. Any idea how to solve this?
[21:44] <dr_willis> !info wine
[21:44] <zenmaster> Well I'm over it, all this time I could have had centos on this super fast.
[21:45] <zenmaster> Peace thanks for the lack of support.
[21:45] <razieliyo> vlt: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin maybe?
[21:45] <dr_willis> I just use those flash-downloader, or flash replacer plugins to download the videos, or watch flash vids in vlc. ;)
[21:46] <fishbait> my gui isn't working little help?
[21:46] <dr_willis> Details would help us help you.
[21:47] <Maksim> hi. I opened Empathy with the terminal but it does not allow me to type further things. If I do ctrl c to get out, empathy closes. How do I get back to using the terminal with empathy open, or do I have to open another terminal tab?
[21:48] <dr_willis> Maksim:  bash job controll fundamentals.. ctrl-z to background a job to get back to the shell. 'bg' command allows it to run in the background
[21:48] <dr_willis> Maksim:  use & to have it background to begin with.  ie:   command &
[21:48] <Maksim> thanks guys
[21:48] <dr_willis> use the exit command instead of just hitting the close button also.. should let most apps continue running
[21:49] <dr_willis> also see the 'nohup' command, and 'screen' and 'tmux'
[21:49] <Maksim> so ctrl z or type exit?

[22:24] <fishbait> nomodset didn't work and the issue cropped up after a kernel update
[22:25] <fishbait> umm a little help here? ^
[22:26] <k4r1m> all jokes aside, I just upgraded from lucid to precise and I choose to update the grub config during the upgrade and now I'm getting "error: no such partition" it's trying to boot hd0,msdos1, is there anyway I can get a list of the partitions within the grub console so I can correct this?
[22:27] <dr_willis> k4r1m:  the grub command line has commands to show the disks and seen partitons. but i dont rember them  ;)
[22:28] <k4r1m> I looked at the list but nothing sounds like it does, closest thing I saw was hdparm but I don't know the actual name
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: tried the boot option: nomodeset
[22:28] <dr_willis> k4r1m:   try Tab completion with the commands,  it may show a list of them
[22:29] <k4r1m> I see a list but all of the commands look unrelated to what I need
[22:29] <fishbait> actionparsnip i did. it didn't work and this all happened after a kernel up date wait lemme see if a previous version kernel works.
[22:29] <dr_willis> k4r1m:  like for   set root=(<hit tab>
[22:29] <dr_willis> Im not sure what you need. ;)
[22:29] <k4r1m> dr_willis: o rly?
[22:30] <dr_willis> k4r1m:  i seem to recall that working. been ages since ive had to mess with grub2
[22:30] <dr_willis> http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?152790-How-to-use-Grub2-to-boot-Linux-manually
[22:30] <k4r1m> set root=( tab got me hd0 then I added the comma and tried tab again and got nothing
[22:31] <dr_willis> hit tab a few times it may  show a list..
[22:31] <fishbait> okay tried 2 versions back and i get low graphics mode message
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: do you need the 3D accelleration for teh system to do what it needs to do?
[22:32] <dr_willis> k4r1m:  similer info  with a bit more details (i just googled and skimmed the page) --> http://planetstephanie.net/2009/05/27/grub2-rescue-mode/
[22:33] <dr_willis> k4r1m:  i tend to just use a live cd + the boot-repair tool  these days
[22:33] <fishbait> i want my gui i clciked ok and it dropped out of gui ... alt+sysreq+r alt+f1 now it looks like fglrx might not be installed gonna try installing
[22:33] <k4r1m> dr_willis: alright thanks Ill try all of the above
[22:34] <Cong> there is something wrong with the -o option of update-grub or I'm not using it properly. output=/boot/grub/grub.cfg finished successfully though
[22:34] <k4r1m> insmod ls and lsmod are giving me no such parition so I might be screwed
[22:36] <fishbait> gonna try the nomodset with 3.2.0-29
[22:37] <TJ-> Cong: update-grub doesn't have the -o option. What it does do is use grub-mkconfig's -o option
[22:37] <fishbait> EUREKA!!!!!!!! IT WORKED SWEET MOTHERBOARDS IT WORKED!
[22:38] <Intermediate> K4rlm don't you have the live cd that installed ubuntu
[22:38] <fishbait> now how do i roll this over to 3.2.0-31?
[22:39] <dr_willis> You could just make nomodeset the default for all kernels. ;) but then youmay lose some video features
[22:40] <alusion> dr_willis, can I receive help for setting up compiz effects in here?
[22:40] <Cong> TJ, what? grub-mkconfig and update-grub's --help string look the same. I'm think they are the same.
[22:41] <TJ-> Cong: /usr/sbin/update-grub is a 3-line shell script that launches grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[22:41] <dr_willis> alusion:  should be able to - then theres #compiz
[22:41] <fishbait> nvm i'll handle it
[22:42] <fishbait> me thinks i know what happened maybe i switched fglrx in the middle of a kernel update
[22:42] <erkan^> i have problem with wifi/lan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215794/ ... can someone help me?
[22:43] <Cong> TJ, mine looks like this exec grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg "$@" <= looks like a one liner
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: what wifi chip are you using?
[22:44] <TJ-> Cong: that's the important line :)
[22:44] <SparksIT> is there any other way to perform a check disk on ext3 drive besides sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sda?
[22:44] <bekks> SparksIT: No.
[22:45] <TJ-> SparksIT: usually you'd be giving it a partition device name, not a raw block device though (/dev/sda1 not /dev/sda)
[22:46] <erkan^> wifi doesn't , ActionParsnip
[22:46] <SparksIT> where would i find the partition name?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: doesn't what?
[22:46] <bekks> In sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> SparksIT: sudo blkid
[22:47] <TJ-> SparksIT: "cat /proc/partitions" will show you all the block devices the kernel is aware of
[22:47] <bekks> sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid
[22:47] <Cong> tj, I think it needs quotes: update-grub "-o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[22:47] <erkan^> they said: no device, ActionParsnip
[22:47] <bekks> Otherwise, the blkid cache may fool you.
[22:47] <subcool> My bad-
[22:47] <erkan^> i have seen a pictogram for network
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the wireless chip?
[22:48] <fishbait> how do iget my monitors to run as two independent desktops?
[22:48] <erkan^> a wait
[22:48] <jab416171|Cloud> fishbait: you need two computers :)
[22:48] <jab416171|Cloud> or you mean extend vs duplicate?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> fishbait: are you wanting a dual seat?
[22:49] <bekks> jab416171|Cloud: Thats not true.
[22:49] <fishbait> no no no like 2 monitors showing 2 workspaces
[22:50] <Cong> if both show same screen you could switch one to desk 2, is that possible?
[22:51] <SparksIT> When I perform a sudo blkid I get - /dev/sda1/ UUID="bf..snip..e5" SEC_Type="ext2" Type=ext3
[22:51] <fishbait> both act as 1 desktop my goal is 1 desktop eAch
[22:51] <erkan^> ActionParsnip, : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215810/
[22:51] <Poindexter_> Curious folks. Does it make a difference with 64 bit versus 32 bit with Ubuntu and the operation of the kernel outside of obvious? E.g, working with Win7 OS and working with other Linux kernels, is there a backwards compatibility?
[22:51] <bekks> SparksIT: So /dev/sda1 contains an ext3 filesystem.
[22:52] <SparksIT> bekks: yes
[22:52] <bekks> SparksIT: Check "mount" wether it is mounted or not.
[22:52] <SparksIT> bekks: not mounted
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: you can run 32bit apps in 64bit Ubuntu
[22:53] <bekks> SparksIT: So please pastebin the output of mount.
[22:53] <bekks> !paste > SparksIT
[22:53] <erkan^> have you seen this paste, ActionParsnip ?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: then its teh usual difference inside the kernel (access to more of the cpu) etc
[22:53] <Dice-Man> where to find all ubottu command ?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: working with Win7 will be identical
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Dice-Man
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[22:54] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip would that simply apply with other VBOX issues if you know about the differences?
[22:54] <Cong> dice-man, /msg ubottu command
[22:54] <SparksIT> bekks: the PC i am setting up is not on the network
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: if your CPU supports 64bit guests then you can run one.
[22:54] <erkan^> lucid, ActionParsnip
[22:55] <battlehands> Hello #ubuntu, I'm using lubuntu, and am wondering how I can move a file from my Downloads folder to another folder using terminal.  The folder is a matlab .m file.
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: does the system have a make and model?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: why such an old release?
[22:55] <battlehands> file**
[22:55] <SparksIT> Bekks: give me a minute, i'll run cable
[22:55] <erkan^> WLAN and LAN works fine with Windows 7, ActionParsnip
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: where do you want it to be moved to?
[22:56] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip I am running Debian on VBOX right now. The throughput on the Host is great as well as the Guest. I was wondering because this box is  32 bit machine and I ran a 64 bit similar box and saw no difference in transit time.
[22:56] <erkan^> because ubuntu precise is very slow for my computer. and lucid works very fine and fast for my pc, but it doesn't work with wlan and lan, ActionParsnip
[22:57] <magn3ts> is it possible to build a 1+0 RAID array and then expand it in place?
[22:57] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: home/battlehands/MATLAB/bin/dsp
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: I'd ask in #vbox maybe they can explain better, debain is not supported here
[22:57] <erkan^> sorry for disconnect, ActionParsnip
[22:57] <erkan^> can you solve my problem, ActionParsnip ?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: so, to clarify, you have a file in ~/Downloads which you want to copy to ~/MATLAB/bin/dsp   is that right?
[22:58] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip true. Lots of the folks on VBOX channel don't have a clue and wait for a guru to come on the channel.  :)
[22:58] <Praxi> this is getting frustrated, so difficult to just lop off 6 minutes of video on the front end, and 4 on the backend of a video
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: does the system have a make and model? Why are you running such an old release?
[22:58] <Praxi> have to go find a mac in the office I guess
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Poindexter_: then ask in #debian
[22:58] <Poindexter_> Good point.
[22:58] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: I'd rather a copy of the file to not be left in ~/Downloads,  I would like a simple move or transfer to the locations that you correctly stated.
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Praxi: could use mencoder :)
[22:58] <Basic> erkan try ubuntu 12.04 all wireless problems are solved in this release
[22:58] <erkan^> WLAN and LAN works fine with Windows 7, ActionParsnip
[22:59] <Praxi> haven't tried that one yet ActionParsnip
[22:59] <erkan^> because ubuntu precise is very slow for my computer. and lucid works very fine and fast for my pc, but it doesn't work with wlan and lan, ActionParsnip
[22:59] <battlehands> between*
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: mv ~/Downloads/filename ~/MATLAB/bin/dsp
[22:59] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip I was working on a special hardware box today. I sought some techs input, not everyone in on the same page.
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: thats irrelevant, Its a completely different OS with completely different support
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .
[22:59] <tdlguiinstall> .
[22:59] <FloodBot1> tdlguiinstall: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: so what windows does is of near-zero value
[22:59] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/132472/split-video-from-mkv-avi-mp4
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: did you try Xubuntu 12.04?
[23:00] <Basic> Erkan have you tried xubuntu, or lubuntu
[23:00] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: Another question.  I am currently running MATLAB in terminal which "ties up" my command line.  Should I just open another terminal and attempt to execute the command that you provided?
[23:00] <dr_willis> ;) not much of an answer.
[23:00] <k4r1m> LOL gparted is showing unallocated space
[23:00] <erkan^> ubuntu 12.04 works fine with wlan and lan, but very slow , i like lucid than precise, Basic
[23:00] <k4r1m> so I baasically lost all of my data?
[23:00] <erkan^> i don't like xubuntu, ActionParsnip
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: when you run the command, suffic the command with a spave and an amperand
[23:00] <erkan^> i like GNOME
[23:00] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[23:01] <dr_willis> ffmpeg -vcodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 -i infile.ogv outfile.ogv
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: Lucid desktop is EOL in April next year, so you will need to make a move by then. Xubuntu isn't hugely different to old Gnome
[23:01] <dr_willis> old skool type desktops Lubuntu and Xubuntu. ;)
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: again, does the system have a make and model?
[23:01] <erkan^> Ubuntu Server 10.04 is support till 2015, ActionParsnip
[23:02] <erkan^> yes acidchild
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: no, tahts server, not desktop
[23:02] <erkan^> ActionParsnip,
[23:02] <dr_willis> the server support wont include the desktop packages.
[23:02] <Poindexter_> ActionParsnip thanks for the time and input. I will keep searching for the holy grail. :)
[23:02] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: didn't work.  I'm going to try a new terminal window.
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases
[23:02] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: The fact that both grub and gparted aren't able to read your partition table is not a good sign, but I wouldn't give up on your data quite yet. (also, you do have backups, right?)
[23:02] <erkan^> ok
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: the desktop is EOL in April 2013
[23:02] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: pastebin.com/QCwq9Fmr
[23:03] <erkan^> i see that lucid is very better than precise, why doesn't they stay development with lucid, ActionParsnip ?
[23:03] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: it's really personal data, its a work machine so there is a bunch of VPN and LDAP configs I really need
[23:03] <SparksIT> Bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215824/
[23:03] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: actually, I forgot that my terminal doesn't let me use ~/ for the home folder.  Let me try your command in my original terminal with the full directory specified
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: weird terminal
[23:04] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: When I upgraded there was two partitions, a 240gb on / and a ~750mb on /boot just for grub
[23:04] <_DanN_> 750mb 4 grub ...
[23:04] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: I have all kinds of problems... I'm not a linux guru  ;)
[23:04] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: OK, you have an invalid partition table (overlapping partitions). If that's the only problem, then you can fix it rather easily, but I'm really curious how you got in such a state in the first place (no GNU/Linux tools will allow you to create such overlapping partitions).
[23:04] <k4r1m> _DanN_: I blame the IT team
[23:05] <dr_willis> I dont find lucid that better at all...
[23:05] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Also, you should take out of this the lesson that backups are *essential*.
[23:05] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: oh.. I'm booting a livecd
[23:05] <erkan^> haven't they a driver deb for lucid --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215810/, ActionParsnip ?
[23:05] <k4r1m> usb to be accurate
[23:06] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: I opened a new terminal and use the full path of the command you provided.  File move successful!  Thank you.
[23:06] <battlehands> used*
[23:06] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: can that be a cause?
[23:06] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: No.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: if you use terminal alot, i recommend installing guake :)
[23:06] <Basic> battlehands  cd /(computer name)/(your user name)/ that will bring up home in terminal
[23:07] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: alright, any suggestions?
[23:07] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: thank you, but I won't even have time to look that up for another couple of days
[23:07] <battlehands> Basic: true
[23:07] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu".
[23:07] <battlehands> hungry
[23:07] <erkan^> ActionParsnip, cannot you solve?
[23:07] <battlehands> going to get food
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: ou haven't answered my question....
[23:08] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Also, you'll want to start installing "gdisk" and "testdisk" (I'll walk you through how to use them). Are you using an Ubuntu LiveUSB?
[23:08] <WeThePeople> erkan^, do you want to use eth0 or wlan0?
[23:08] <Basic> battlehands midnight commander file manager
[23:08] <erkan^> wlan, WeThePeople
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: again, does the system have a make and model?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: 3rd time now....
[23:08] <erkan^> Yes, ActionParsnip
[23:09] <morgan> is there a way to kill lightdm and compiz/unity etc before I load up a game through wine?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: ok, what is the make and model?
[23:09] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip:  now you have to ask him what make and model it is.....
[23:09] <dr_willis> ;)
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: yeah tell me about it :(
[23:09] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: pastebin.com/M0AjeGJ3
[23:09] <dr_willis> Ubuntu Support and Teeth Pulled.....
[23:09] <WeThePeople> erkan^, what is the model number?
[23:09] <k4r1m> it looks good
[23:10] <Basic> erkan they should be a gui driver finder on lucid
[23:10] <k4r1m> *a good sign I think*
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> Basic: its atherosd, so i doubt it wil be in tehre
[23:10] <WeThePeople> erkan^, type lshw in terminal and post all of it to paste.ubuntu.com
[23:10] <erkan^> Model:  Acer Aspire 5349; Wifi:  Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n , ActionParsnip  / WeThePeople
[23:10] <erkan^> ok a wait
[23:10] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Please add "http://" to the beginning of URLs (it makes it much easier for me while I'm working from my phone).
[23:11] <bizhanMona> HI I have installed the following card on my ubuntu 12.04; 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cayman PRO [Radeon HD 6950]
[23:11] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: oh sorry, here http://pastebin.com/M0AjeGJ3
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: acer don't make wifi chips, they buy them and make their devices
[23:11] <cornfeed> hello hello, I have added a custom PPA source, and for some reason apt-get update is not pulling in the newest ones...is there a  cache I need to flush or something? I am lost. if i use chrome to browse the source I added in sources.list then I can see that the package has been updated to a newer 3.0.1 but my system wont upgrade from 2.3.3
[23:11] <bizhanMona> the system is configured as Ubuntu-server so there is no GUI environment but I have installed the Xorg.
[23:11] <cornfeed> oops, wrong channel
[23:11] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Thanks.
[23:11] <bizhanMona> When I boot the system boots to command line, When I type startx, the screen froze any hint on how to resolve this greatly apprieciated
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: if you boot to Precise liveCD does it tell you what the wifi chip i>?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> *is
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: if it does can you tell us what it is
[23:13] <Basic> Kinfo center
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> erkan^: using cruddy old kernels sometimes doesn't identify the chip and makes installing hardware a tonne harder, newer kernels will probably tell you exactly the wifi chip and you can set it up#
[23:14] <nick1> !faq | nick2
[23:14] <erkan^> WeThePeople, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1215842/
[23:14] <Basic> is cinnamon a desktop choice for ubuntu 12.04
[23:15] <erkan^> i must download precise, ActionParsnip
[23:15] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: OK, it looks like your extended partition is just not big enough for the logical partition it contains. I expect that fixparts (from the gdisk package) will be able to fix that automatically.
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> Basic: with a PPA, yes. Cinammon isn't supported here though
[23:15] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: Alright thanks Ill try that
[23:16] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Do you have any idea how this could have come about though?
[23:19] <dr_willis> bizhanMona:  ssh in from another box. then startx on the local machine and check out the logs/dmesg command perhaps. what desktop enviroment did you install? what does the screen display exactly?
[23:19] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: IT just handed me the machine and it was running lucid, I clicked upgrade and copied all the diffs for the new conf files while replacing the old ones with the new ones that got pulled. Grub2 installed came up and I clicked on new settings as the old config was a grub1 config, and eventually selected /boot as the boot. reboot and got "error: no such parition" tried to list using insmod ls and lsmod but I still
[23:19] <k4r1m>  got the same here which brought me to the livecd and here
[23:20] <erkan^> and WeThePeople ?
[23:22] <tking> hello guys, lock and dim screen is set to 5mins. But sometimes i want over 20mins and still counting and the screen wouldn't lock. Anyone know the reason?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You list devices at the grub rescue shell with simply "ls". Also, you should have the grub-pc package configured to install grub's boot sector to the MBR "/dev/sda", *not* to a partition like "/dev/sda1" (though the problem you're having now is not related to that).
[23:23] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: should I abort what I'm doing and go back to the rescue shell? or install gdisk and run fixparts /dev/sda ?
[23:23] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: If you're using an Ubuntu LiveUSB you'll need to enable the Universe repository before you'll be able to install the gdisk package. Then a simple "sudo fixparts /dev/sda" should (after prompting you) fix this automatically.
[23:24] <k4r1m> kk ill try it thanks
[23:24] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You're welcome.
[23:25] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: it's an interactive command?
[23:25] <k4r1m> I'm not really sure what to do here..
[23:27] <a1fa> i am trying to do do-release-upgrade -d from 12.4 to 12.10, and it's saying no new releases found
[23:27] <mikubuntu> seem to be having lots of problems with facebook on both chrome and firefox since last ubuntu update -- very slow or no response, share buttons not transferring data --- anybody else  have this over the last 2 or 3 days?\
[23:28] <tking> i added a user, and deleted it, but i still have the user folder in my home directory
[23:28] <trism> a1fa: you need to enable normal upgrades, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (support in #ubuntu+1)
[23:28] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes.
[23:28] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: manpage said I don't to adjust anything and just "write"
[23:29] <obi> alfa: update manager, settings, show all releases
[23:29] <a1fa> trism: i figured it out.. the lts has a lock on what version
[23:29] <a1fa> right
[23:29] <a1fa> thanks obi, trism
[23:29] <k4r1m> I did that and rebooted and now I'm still getting the same thing and "ls" in the rescue shell is giving me "error: no such partition"
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> AlfE_: you need to edit a file first, or the OS will only 'see' LTS releases
[23:30] <Basic> Alfa just back up your computer and do a fresh install
[23:30] <Praxi> hmm mencoder corrupted my video AND didn't trim it using this guide http://www.misterhowto.com/index.php?category=Computers&subcategory=Video&article=trim_or_split_with_mencoder :)
[23:30] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You may need to re-install grub. You should now see that gparted can read the partition table correctly though.
[23:30] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: alright let me boot the usb
[23:30] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: To re-install grub follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[23:31] <Guest_649> hi
[23:31] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: In addition to that, you should also run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure to select /dev/sda as an install device, and not any partition.
[23:31] <Basic> Ubuntu distro upgrader is known for being buggy
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> a1fa: you need to edit a file first, or the OS will only 'see' LTS releases
[23:32] <a1fa> +1 ActionParsnip
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> Basic: its hit and miss, I always clean install :)
[23:32] <a1fa> thanks
[23:32] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: the usb image is running 64bit but I'm not sure if the precise on the actual hardware is also 64bit.. anyway to find out?
[23:32] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: because that page says they need to match
[23:33] <SparksIT> I've been trying to automatically mount a HDD on boot, but I get this error: The disk drive for /media/storage is not ready yet or present, I have typed this in /etc/fstab: UUID="bf258e0b-cc25-4fb8-8d59-0ae8308abee5 /media/storage       ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       1
[23:33] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: It doesn't matter. You can't chroot from a 32 bit LiveUSB into a 64 bit system, but you can chroot into a 32 bit system from a 64 bit LiveUSB.
[23:33] <bizhanMona> dr_willis: I have been suggested that I am using older ati driver, I am trying to find their latest one to install now.
[23:33] <craigbass1976> is there a join.me that works with ubuntu?  I'm in a pinch and need to see someone's screen.  I don't think I can talk them through punching a hole in their modem and router
[23:34] <obi> alfa: http://obigeorge.com/ss/screenie2012-09-19%2019:34:06.png
[23:34] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: ok, I'm looking at the gparted window and it looks a little weird, whats a lvm file system? I thought the ubuntu uses ext4 or has that changed?
[23:34] <k4r1m> lvm2*
[23:35] <obi> alfa: then http://obigeorge.com/ss/screenie2012-09-19 19:35:02.png :)
[23:35] <kdsmain> is this a good place to ask why sound usually stops coming from my laptop headphone jack after a combination of muting and unplugging the headphones in 12.04?
[23:35] <SparksIT> Craigbass1976: have you tried teamveiwer.com ?
[23:35] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux)
[23:36] <k4r1m> why don't I see the ext4 partition though?
[23:36] <kdsmain> is this a good place to ask why sound usually stops coming from my laptop headphone jack after a combination of muting and unplugging the headphones in 12.04? (sorry, like 10000 people joined/dc'd right after i asked)
[23:37] <k4r1m> I see /dev/sda ext2 with the boot flag, /dev/sda2 extented with lvm flag and a child under it /dev/sda5 lvm2
[23:37] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: LVM isn't a filesystem, you use a filesystem like ext4 on top of LVM. Ubuntu's installer doesn't use LVM by default.
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> kdsmain: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then retry sound
[23:37] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: ok so what I'm seeing is completely normal?
[23:37] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes (though not default).
[23:37] <J3f> epic fail rm -r ~/.
[23:38] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: shall proceed to instal grub?
[23:38] <dr_willis> J3f:  /media/. would be worse.. ;)
[23:38] <J3f> dr_willis: oh ok :D
[23:39] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: what do i run to restart sound?
[23:39] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: ty btw
[23:39] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: Yes, but unfortunately I need to leave so you'll have to figure out how to mount the Logical Volume from someone else. You can also try booting via Super GRUB2 Disk (Use 2.00 beta1) which will allow you to boot into the actual installed system where it's easier to fix things.
[23:39] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: I'll be back in about an hour and a half.
[23:39] <k4r1m> Jordan_U: sounds good thanks and bye
[23:40] <Jordan_U> k4r1m: You're welcome.
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> kdsmain: it restarts itself automagically
[23:41] <kdsmain> actionparsnip: still don't hear anything
[23:41] <kdsmain> pulseaudo --start says daemon startup failed
[23:44] <kdsmain> although I found the wiki that has commands similar to what you said so maybe I can find the answer there
[23:45] <k4r1m> http://pastebin.com/djbgdRug this looks really weird, anyone can help?
[23:46] <k4r1m> If my eyes are not mistaken did I somehow install ubuntu on a Window95 partition?
[23:46] <Ironsight> man, N mode wireless sure is buggy
