[00:00] <capeeKo> copy/paste, like I've done in the past
[00:00] <dr_willis> capeeKo:  err.... thats putting it on wrong...
[00:00] <dr_willis> you should NOT have a file called whatever.iso on the usb
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> capeeKo: use unetbootin
[00:01] <capeeKo> that a program that extracts the image onto the drive?
[00:01] <dr_willis> unetbootin is one of many. theres others listed at the pendrivelinux web site
[00:02] <dr_willis> some of those can boot a .iso file from the usb. ;) so you can make multiboot usb sticks
[00:02] <capeeKo> ok.  thanks guys.  maybe I'm mistaken about it working in the past, it's been a while & classes have my head all mixed up lol
[00:03] <dr_willis> You have never just drag/dropped an iso file to a usb and have it work...
[00:03] <capeeKo> I'll do that & try again, hopefully I won't bug you guys anymore :P
[00:03] <Gabe> hi
[00:03] <dr_willis> that dosent put any sort of bootloader on the usb
[00:04] <Gabe> so, I'm sorta new to linux and I when I installed MyUnity on Ubuntu 12.10 it messed up the files and now the're hidden on the laucher and they look like pieces of paper on the dash home. Any help would be great. I don't really feel like installing it all over again :x
[00:06] <megamanx1978> I am having sound problems please help
[00:06] <dr_willis> make a new user - see if they have the same issue.. if a new user works.. then its your problem users config files that are to blame.. reset them all.
[00:06] <bazhang> !info myunity | Gabe
[00:07] <bazhang> Gabe, there's no myunity for 12.10

[00:12] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: query your quota limits, see what you have breached
[00:13] <Gabe> I'll just try and restart it >.<
[00:13] <elisa87> ActionParsnip how can I do it? I am a hardware person

[00:16] <gunarm1> whats the deal with this "UUID" with colons instead of dashes that comes out when i do # sudo mdadm --detail --scan # is that still a uuid?  Can I put it in fstab?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: prefix it with sudo
[00:17] <elisa87> jalal is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. Because I am just a student! is there any other way ? I have to install Xilinx on my machine
[00:17] <elisa87> ActionParsnip jalal is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. Because I am just a student! is there any other way ? I have to install Xilinx on my machin
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: only admins can view the quota reports as far as I know
[00:18] <ikonia> elisa87: what does being a student have to do with not being in the sudoers file ?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: if you have an account that can use sudo, I suggest you su to it
[00:18] <elisa87> our department is really restrictive on the machines we use in the labs!
[00:18] <megamanx1978> Is there a way to set my default volume?
[00:19] <elisa87> Can I make myself sudoer btw? because this new computer was given to me today given that I have the right to be sudoer,....seems not working
[00:19] <megamanx1978> Or set my volume with the terminal?
[00:19] <ikonia> elisa87: ask the guy who set it up to you
[00:19] <ikonia> set it up for you
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: try:  quota -u $USER

[00:22] <SeLEct> Hello, i just installed github with apt-get install github-cli. but when i type git. i get this? -bash: git: command not found
[00:23] <ClientAlive> is there a way to tell ubuntu that eclipse is insatalled? I installed it outside of the ubuntu repository so I could get a newer version. Now, when I try to run an eclipse command to change a setting (on the command line) I get "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform". But it is installed. I've been using it.
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> !arabic
[00:23] <genio_> thanks
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: is the program in your $PATH ?
[00:23] <ikonia> ClientAlive: adjust your $PATH to include the directory you installed eclipse in
[00:24] <elisa87> ActionParsnip what does this exactly mean? [jalal@helena] (3)$ fs listquota
[00:24] <elisa87> Volume Name                    Quota       Used %Used   Partition

[00:24] <frodriguez> holaa
[00:24] <frodriguez> hola
[00:24] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: ikonia: it is installed to /opt/eclipse. I did try cd /opt/eclipse then execute the command but I get the same message.
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: you have a soft limit at 85% and a hard limit of 100%, you will get warnings over 85%
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: did you use:   ./eclipse
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: the ./   bit is important
[00:25] <elisa87> so it doesn't show much much space I have? like how many GB? ActionParsnip
[00:25] <dean__> Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a program that allows you to edit a mp3 track to cut bits off and that?
[00:26] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: you mean to put that before the command?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: yes, so that the file in the pwd is used.
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: the pwd is NOT in $PATH for security reasons
[00:27] <jimmyk> Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out why the same UUID is being assigned to two different physical volumes
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> elisa87: looks like you have a 150Mb limit on storage (if I'm reading it right)
[00:27] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: Ok, this is the command I'm trying to run: "eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m" So it should be "./eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m" then?
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: yes, after you use 'cd' to change to the folder containing the command
[00:29] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: I got the command to work. Thank you. Now I don't get whether it makes a persistent change or not tho. I need the change to be persistent.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: could try:  sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m /usr/bin/eclipse
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: I assume you don't have eclipse installed by package
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: if you then just run:  eclipse    does ity run?
[00:32] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: I didn't install via apt-get, no. I got this command from: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm (near the top of page). But it doesn't say if it is just for that use or if the change is persistent. It has to do with setting how much memory for eclipse to use or something.
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: try the symlink, it may just fly
[00:32] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: what is ity? a terminal?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: the terminal command I gave to make a symlink
[00:34] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: err... need to understand what result that produces (how it works/ effects my system) and I have to run right now. I will keep that in consideration for when I get back to this. Thank you sir.
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: it makes a file in you /usr/bin like the rest of the commands you run
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: if it works then its because you have put the link i na folder named in $PATH
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: try it, it may just allow you to hit ALT+F2 and run:  eclipse
[00:37] <Laban> Hello
[00:37] <mneri> hi, i've installed windows and now the bootloader is gone. what i have to do?
[00:37] <yvesD> repair it via CD
[00:37] <Pici> !fixgrub
[00:37] <mneri> ty
[00:37] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: I can run eclipse fine. Even have it favorited on my desktop bar. It's that I have lot of plugins in it and it isn't set to use enough memory. Well there is 16 gig of ram on this machine so memory is not a problem. It's a matter of permanently setting eclipse to use the amount I want it to (I though 1024m would be a good start).
[00:37] <Laban> I run Xubuntu 12.10 on my laptop, and for some odd reason it keeps dropping IPv6 connectivity. Other machines in the network does not have a problem with this.
[00:38] <Laban> Has any others seen this before?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> mneri: how did you install ubuntu?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: whta has that got to do with a symlink?
[00:38] <Laban> IPv4 stays up all along.
[00:39] <Laban> ping over v4 works fine internally, but over v6 it just dies.
[00:39] <mneri> ActionParsnip from cd about a year ago. today i've installed windows 8 and the bootloader is gone. i'm sure ubuntu is still there.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> mneri: should be. You can use a chroot from liveCD to reinstate grub
[00:39] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: I don't know (I don't understand what the symlink would do for me). What that is, is the problem I'm trying to solve (the memory setting - not launchnig eclipse).
[00:39] <blackshirt> !grub2 | mneri
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> mneri: omgubuntu have a guide called 'sticking it to grub'
[00:40] <mneri> ActionParsnip ty
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: In a terminal, run:  sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m /usr/bin/eclipse
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: it will mean you don't need t cd to the folder to launch the app
[00:41] <jimmyk> could anyone here help me with an lvm problem?
[00:42] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: I don't need to cd to the folder to launch the app - it launches just fine apart from the terminal. That may be useful in the future if I have to run a terminal command but what I'm trying to do is change a setting in eclipse.
[00:42] <ClientAlive> I have to go. I'm sorry
[00:42] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip:
[00:42] <ClientAlive> thx
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: easier?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: glad its somewhat working :)
[00:45] <rara> hi
[00:46] <Geothst> Does anyone know how to get Unity to stop crashing?
[00:46] <yvesD> uninstall it
[00:46] <yvesD> *g*
[00:46] <Geothst> Ubuntu has some dependencies on unity, so I can't.
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:46] <Geothst> Or I would.
[00:46] <rara> Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ?
[00:47] <n2deep> does anyone here have any info on Ubuntu for Android?
[00:47] <Geothst> It just says, "Precise".
[00:47] <yvesD> any error-messages?
[00:47] <rara> Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ?
[00:47] <n2deep> ...join me in #ubuntu-android if you have any info to share
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: you could use a different session if you don't like Unity. You can install xcfe4 and use that desktop instead of Gnome
[00:48] <Geothst> Well, I tried that.
[00:48] <Geothst> Unity still crashes when I load XFCE.
[00:48] <Geothst> And I still have the panel to the left.
[00:49] <Geothst> in my XFCE session.
[00:49] <yvesD> xubuntu?
[00:49] <Geothst> No. I do have XFCE and Xubuntu session on my LightDM though.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> yvesD: just using a different DE in ubuntu, not xubuntu
[00:50] <Geothst> I also got some weird X11 errors about directories missing and then my computer turned off.
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: Have you tried the Unity2D session
[00:50] <capeeKo> well I lost all my files after the install
[00:50] <capeeKo> oh well
[00:50] <Geothst> Unity 3D wouldn't even load at first. Fresh install. I installed Gnome3 and now it loads, but crashes. But Unity 2D also crashes.
[00:51] <Geothst> Unity 2D says it crashes, and it asks me if I want to reload it. But it works. It's fine. It just thinks it crashes.
[00:51] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: not recently, why?
[00:51] <yvesD> driver? firmware?
[00:51] <laffinboy> hello
[00:51] <capeeKo> thanks for the help Action & willis
[00:51] <Geothst> I think he was trying to tab-complete Geothst, gordonjcp :)
[00:53] <laffinboy> can anybody answer a question about ubuntu
[00:53] <Geothst> This is probably a good place for that.
[00:54] <Geothst> What is the likelyhood that something messed up when I was doing my install causing Unity to be awful and crash a lot and not work right in any way whatsoever? And that if I just re-install Ubuntu it will work right, then. because honestly I'm about to uninstall and just use Windows.
[00:54] <k1l> !ask | laffinboy
[00:55] <laffinboy> i have an older version of ubuntu (10.10) on a disk can do try without install if i try to install it crashes
[00:56] <Geothst> Did you check the MD5?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: sorry, wrong target
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: try unity2d
[00:56] <Geothst> I did. It also crashes.
[00:56] <laffinboy> my question is therena way i can do the upgrade and have it save to my hard drive
[00:56] <Geothst> Well, it thinks it has crashed. It works fine, as far as I can tell.
[00:57] <laffinboy> md5?
[00:57] <Geothst> When you download the install file it sometimes messes up a small part of the file and can cause your OS to malfunction.
[00:57] <Geothst> !MD5
[00:58] <laffinboy> brb
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: have you tested your RAM?
[01:00] <oldgettingsomewh> 5500 mhz
[01:00] <oldgettingsomewh> lol
[01:00] <Geothst> No, but I run other OSes just fine. It hadn't occured to me that it could be a RAM issue. 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10 all worked fine. As did WinXP and Win7. Unity in 12.04 is the only issue I'm having on this hardware.
[01:02] <oldgettingsomewh> hey what hertz more  a meaga hert or punchasise your face hertz
[01:03] <completeIdiot> hello all
[01:03] <completeIdiot> any1 alive here?
[01:04] <Geothst> Help. I'm alive.
[01:04] <kostkon> completeIdiot, no, we are all zombies :P
[01:04] <completeIdiot> hehehe.. at my location is 2am .. no wonder 4 seeing zombies dancing ca-ca-ca
[01:05] <nowayride> sudo kill Geothst
[01:05] <Geothst> noooo "...brains"
[01:05] <completeIdiot> i need some help..
[01:05] <completeIdiot> is it possible to get it here?
[01:05] <Geothst> Not prescription help, no.
[01:06] <nowayride> completeIdiot: Just ask, if somebody knows they'll chime in
[01:06] <Geothst> But if it's about Linux, maybe. :)
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: hold SHIFT at boot, select the Memtest from the Grub menu to test
[01:06] <Geothst> Okay, will do that. Thanks ActionParsnip.
[01:06] <completeIdiot> am... linux.. yes.. vm.. exactly...
[01:07] <completeIdiot> adding C:\ to access over win xp once it starts...
[01:10] <completeIdiot> i installed virtual box, some extra pack that was requiered to access disk.. but, still cant get to filles over win xp, wich is now inside the virtual mashine..
[01:11] <completeIdiot> any help - step by step - i read the instructions, but.. i gues my nick is there for a reason?
[01:13] <dr_willis> completeIdiot:  once you got an os IN vbox you can transfer files in differnt ways. as if they were 2 seperate machines on the same lan. you could use samba, ssh/scp/winscp, or vbox's own special share feature.
[01:13] <dr_willis> for simple transfering, ssh + winscp is quick to get going
[01:13] <fachhoch> need help connecting to windows using cisaco vpn
[01:14] <completeIdiot> lan? ups..
[01:14] <fachhoch> my vpn connection is sucessful  now want to connect to my remote windows machine
[01:14] <fachhoch> any gurus want to help me ?
[01:15] <dr_willis> completeIdiot:  vbox runs on the host and the guest and host os are on their own virtual lan.
[01:15] <completeIdiot> i got external hd, and running linux on it... in that same disk, i got files, i would like to access to
[01:15] <nowayride> dr_willis: you can also set it up bridged so they're on the same subnet
[01:15] <dr_willis> You can use the vbox configs to set it up as a vbox share, or set it up as a samba share, or just use winscp on the windows in vbox, and ssh on the linux side
[01:16] <dr_willis> nowayride:  that will confuse him even more. ;)
[01:16] <dr_willis> http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders
[01:16] <completeIdiot> ok, i am allready confused... i read the manuals.. but.. is it possible to get step-by-step help?
[01:17] <dr_willis> easier to just use ssh and winscp...
[01:17] <dr_willis> or samba.
[01:17] <completeIdiot> ok, how i use ssh and what it is?
[01:17] <dr_willis> !ssh
[01:17] <fachhoch> any articles to connect to   remote windows after vpn connection ?
[01:17] <dr_willis> install the openssh server on linux, install winscp on windows.. run winscp. connect to the ssh server.. use the file manager gui to copy files around.
[01:18] <completeIdiot> hold on..
[01:18]  * dr_willis wonders what he should hold on to....
[01:19] <SierraAR> Is it possible to create a partition on a machine that has 12.04 on it, and install windows xp to that partition?
[01:19] <completeIdiot> i put that name (openssh) into ubuntu software center...
[01:19] <completeIdiot> got secure shell

[01:19] <Eol> I'm trying to install Postgres 9.1, with the following commands. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql;sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1.  But when I do, it still says "Cannot find package postgresql-9.1".  Any ideas on what could be wrong?
[01:19] <blackshirt> hello
[01:20] <dr_willis> SierraAR:  linux does not install to ntfs or vfat. you COULD make a ntfs or vfat from linux and install windows to that partion.,
[01:20] <almoxarife> SierraAR: yes
[01:20] <blackshirt> !postgresql
[01:20] <uabn93> is it okay to ask a q about lubuntu here? It is about the installer, which is the same as ubuntus right?
[01:20] <dr_willis> the way you phrased it.. sounds like you want both os's on the same partition
[01:20] <blackshirt> !postgreesql
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Eol: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:20] <dr_willis> uabn93:  i think they are the same.. if not they are very similer... I dont recall any differances

[01:21] <Yuri-Yang> Hello, does anyone know how to improve WIFI connection? It's very complicated. I have a ACER 4750G. I was using WIFI without any problem at home or in the public like starbuck. But when it comes to my office wifi, problem occurs as it becomes very slow. Can anyone give me any hints what the reason may be?
[01:22] <completeIdiot> am... any one copy? i put openssh in the ubuntu software center.. results are secure shell, secpanel.. what to install now?
[01:22] <SierraAR> dr_willis, how would I do that? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to different file system formats
[01:22] <uabn93> the window crashes after i make it to the password/user phase. The mouse still remains, but in the loading position. what should i do?
[01:22] <Eol> lsb_release -sc : maverick
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> Eol: maverick is dead
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> Eol: the ppa doesn't support maverick, nor does the ubuntu community
[01:22] <nowayride> Well his user name is appropriate then :P
[01:22] <dr_willis> SierraAR:  use gparted. make a partion. make it ntfs.. format it.. winodows should be able to install to it
[01:22] <Eol> i see..
[01:23] <Eol> ok, where do I need to go to change this stuff? The IT guys just gave me a linux box. What should I tell them to fix, I'm pretty noobish at linux
[01:23] <Pelo> evening folks,  I'M running 12.04 in classic mode,  I can't schedule appointments by clicking in the calendar in the top panel,  how do I do it ?
[01:23] <SierraAR> dr_willis, alright, thanks. +cookie
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> Eol: I suggest you clean install with Precise for support til April 2017 , or Quantal for the latest features
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> Eol: tell him to clean install Precise
[01:23] <Pelo> what's the default calendar app in 12.04 is what I'm asking
[01:24] <Eol> So that means a whole new linux box?
[01:24] <dr_willis> install to the one you got now?
[01:24] <SierraAR> Pelo, according to System Settings > Details, something called 'gedit'
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> Eol: no just a new OS
[01:25] <completeIdiot> any1 friendly enough to help me out on private over the virtual box and adding hdds?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> Eol: its like he installed Windows 95 and gave you it :)
[01:25] <gonyere> pelo: I think 12.04 ships with thunderbird, but the calendar may integrate with evolution
[01:25] <Pelo> SierraAR, gedit is a text editor, a pretty nifty one but not a calendar
[01:25] <dr_willis> completeIdiot:  you dont want to access physical HDS from vbox.
[01:25] <Eol> yeah, i figured that
[01:25] <dr_willis> completeIdiot:  that can cause data curruption
[01:25] <Pelo> gonyere, ok thanks I guess
[01:25] <gonyere> i know it does in gnome-shell anyhow
[01:25] <SierraAR> gonyere Pelo, the calender part of thunderbird is a separate plugin called lightning, which is what I use :P (No idea if it can be set as the default calender app)
[01:25] <gonyere> i'm not 100% if thats the same in unity or not
[01:25] <Eol> Ah, ok. so 10.10 is "maverick" and 12.04 is "precise"
[01:26] <uabn93> the installer window keeps crashing on me. Can anyone help me out
[01:26] <BrandonBolton> Eol, exactly.
[01:26] <Eol> ok, thanks
[01:26] <Pelo> SierraAR, ok pluging in thunderbird, that makes a bit of sense , I'll give that a try
[01:26] <dr_willis> uabn93:  you did verify the iso file after you downloaded it? it is possible to run the installer from a terminal window and look for error messages
[01:27] <lkthomas> hey guys, does any repo support Atom optimized kernel ?
[01:27] <dr_willis> completeIdiot:  best to talk in the channel. I may have to leave at any time.
[01:28] <completeIdiot> no panic..
[01:28] <uabn93> dr_willis: i downloaded the torrent so it should be ok. how can i figure out the name of the installer?
[01:28] <dr_willis> lkthomas:  ive not noticed any atom optmized ubuntu variants, or kernels. Ive seen some other disrots that seem to focus on netbooks. but i cant even rember their names
[01:28] <dr_willis> uabn93:  i think its called 'ubiquity'
[01:28] <lkthomas> dr_willis: errr, ok thanks
[01:31] <uabn93> dr_willis: it says theres an update for the installer but nothing happens when i click on it
[01:31] <dr_willis> uabn93:  cant say ive ever noticed it day that.. this is a 12.10 lubuntu you are using?
[01:32] <uabn93> dr_willis: yes. maybe i should go back a versioin
[01:33] <dr_willis> uabn93:  12.10 lubuntu installed fine on my laptop the other day.
[01:33] <dr_willis> its possible you got a bad burn to the cd, or the iso file could been bad.. wouldent hurt to double check
[01:33] <elisa87> how to find my mac address?
[01:33] <completeIdiot> any one that got an hour of time, to help my out? on private? over vbox?
[01:34] <dr_willis> elisa87:  ifconfig shoes you elisa87
[01:34] <dr_willis> HWaddr f4:6d:04:9e:90:62
[01:34] <elisa87> is arp true as well dr_willis ?
[01:34] <uabn93> dr_willis: im doing a usb install. burned it twice, and im on my third install attempt
[01:35] <dr_willis> no idea. cant say ive ever had to mess with arp.
[01:35] <dr_willis> uabn93:  installing to a external usb hd?
[01:35] <uabn93> dang. no, usb stick
[01:35] <completeIdiot> dr_willis! i got that too
[01:35] <completeIdiot> linux and ntfs - external hd
[01:36] <dr_willis> uabn93:  theres alternative tools to make a live usb. pendrivelinux web site has several. could be something quirky with how its being made
[01:37] <uabn93> dr_willis: did the new icon theme act funny to you? maybe its this cheap graphics card that im using
[01:37] <dr_willis> uabn93:  cant say ive noticed any icon issues in lubuntu
[01:37] <dr_willis> could be a driver issue also
[01:37] <uabn93> like... the text being too light sometimes. same with the buttons
[01:38] <uabn93> yeah let me try it without the graphics card
[01:38] <dr_willis> try some differnt themes perhaps
[01:38] <SierraAR> Is lubuntu different from ubuntu?
[01:38] <elisa87> if I want to find the hostname should I only write hostname? or do I need some flags?
[01:38] <dr_willis> $ hostname
[01:38] <dr_willis> SSDBuntu
[01:39] <dr_willis> ;) not like the hostname command ran by a user is going to change your hostname....
[01:39] <SunTsu> elisa87: depends on what you want to see - try it, if it doesn't show you exaktly what you want to see consult the manpage
[01:39] <SunTsu> exactly even
[01:39] <dr_willis> hostname is shown in the default prompt also.
[01:41] <elisa87> thanks SunTsu
[01:42] <uabn93> dr_willis: found out the error. is says illegal instruction and then quits
[01:43] <dr_willis> uabn93:  sounds like a nasty crash for some reason
[01:46] <elisa87> can I install win7 over already installed ubuntu 12.04 if my notebook is HP?
[01:46] <elisa87> and with which software do you suggest me to partition my drives?
[01:46] <SierraAR> elisa87, someone suggested to me I use gparted to create a partition and format sade partition to ntfs when I was asking about installing XP
[01:47] <SierraAR> s/sade/said*
[01:47] <elisa87> SierraAR How much should I put for win7? If I am about to install Softwares like Matlab out there?
[01:48] <SierraAR> elisa87, honestly not sure on the sizing. I'm planning on just splitting my 500GB hd in two - 250 for ubuntu, 250 for xp
[01:48] <Geo|N7> I installed win7 then ubuntu and just used ubuntu to repartition
[01:49] <elisa87> SierraAR so might my Ubuntu get formatted by any chance? which I wish not
[01:49] <Geo|N7> I think I had issues with grub2 but I am a total newb and it was painless
[01:49] <Geo|N7> I think if you install ubuntu and then windows, you're going to have a bad time
[01:50] <gonyere> its been a long time since i set up a dual boot system
[01:50] <gonyere> but as i recall it was best to install ubuntu and get your partitions worked out
[01:50] <Geo|N7> I believe windows removes grub altogether.
[01:50] <three18ti> I'm trying to follow this guid: http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/a-better-way-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-live-usb-drive to make an ubuntu live cd, but the ubuntu 12.10 iso only includes an initrd.lz .  do I need to convert this to an initrd.gz or is the lz acceptable to use?  Will grub be able to boot the initrd.lz ?
[01:50] <gonyere> then install windows on whichever one you want to install it on
[01:50] <gonyere> then go back and re-install linux
[01:51] <gonyere> also, for linux installs i recommend two partitions: one / and one /home so you can re-install linux whenever you like and not touch your personal files
[01:51] <three18ti> this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomizeLiveInitrd has steps to repack it into an initrd.gz, but it says, "or, if you want an initrd.lz (for Ubuntu 9.10 and later):" which would infer that ubuntu > 9.10 needs an initrd.lz .
[01:51] <Geo|N7> I installed windows and then Linux and it worked really well. 12.04 makes partitions cake.
[01:52] <Geo|N7> No need to install 3 times
[01:52] <SierraAR> s-by-s-HELP-VM, I don't think changing your nick repeatedly is going to help much
[01:52] <gonyere> yeah, i don't doubt things have gotten better - its been a solid 6 yrs since i attempted a dual boot system :)
[01:53] <escott> three18ti, if grub knows how to extract lzma
[01:53] <escott> three18ti, or maybe the kernel extracts the initrd... not sure who unpacks it
[01:53] <Geo|N7> I am almost positive that installing Linux and then windows will result in a migraine.
[01:54] <gonyere> dual-boot IME usually results in at least a few screw ups :p
[01:54] <three18ti> Geo|N7, is 100% correct. the windows boot loader rewrites the MBR with extreme prejudice.
[01:55] <three18ti> escott, yea, that's what I don't know...  I assume since I've grabbed the vmliuz from the same cd it -should- work...
[01:55]  * three18ti shrugs
[01:55] <three18ti> I guess there's only one way to find out. ;)
[01:55] <gonyere> :p
[01:56] <blackshirt> hello
[01:56] <walterwoj> I have a folder (/strorage) that I want to be fully usable by my user and users on the samba share but the permissions are always locking one or the other out  how can I fix this?
[01:57] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> hy.. sorry, to bother u.. i need some step-by-step help over Virtual Mashine.. i installed Virtual box, another OS, some extra pack, that was requiered to access HD, but.. still cant access any of HDDs.. i got installed linux ubuntu 12.04 LTS on externall hd, and in that same HD i got ntfs partition that i would like to acces over virtual mashine (win xp) possible on private?? PS: i am total neewbie
[01:57] <escott> walterwoj, depends on your configuration. you will have to give examples of files that one can access but not the other
[01:58] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, are you trying to pass a USB hard drive as a raw device to a VM guest?
[01:58] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> am.. wait, need to translate...
[01:59] <walterwoj> for example I back up file to the share from my laptop and those files are locked to my local account user, then i create a file locally and the samba users are now denied permissions.  I already chmod 777 but that only works until someone creates a file...
[02:00] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> raw, burned, well done... dosent mather.. i just need win xp, to access usb hd -ntfs
[02:00] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, so XP is the guest (running inside VBox) ubuntu is the host
[02:01] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> escott - private?
[02:01] <escott> !pm | s-by-s-HELP-VM
[02:02] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, there are two ways i can think to do this.
[02:02] <blackshirt> i think you should mount your hd into exPortable share point
[02:02] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> ups.. thanks for notice..
[02:03] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, 1) let linux handle the USB device and pass the raw device /dev/sdb or the like to windows, or 2) find the usb location with lsusb and pass the USB device to windows. in either case you would do this through the VBox configuration
[02:03] <Geothst> I did a memory test, and got no errors. But now I can't open my update manager, or the Ubuntu Software Center.  E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
[02:03] <escott> walterwoj, specifics. exact permissions of examples files (ie output of ls -al /path/to/filename
[02:04] <Geothst> I can't remove the gnome PPA because I can't open my update manager or the ubuntu software center. They both just crash.
[02:04] <Geothst> And if I try to remove it in a terminal it just gives me that error, too.
[02:05] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> ok.. crap, google does not translate ok... i think i can use win xp cmd??
[02:06] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, what is your native language
[02:06] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> slovenian
[02:06] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> europe, slovenia
[02:06] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> but.. our sleepy nations... are sleeping..
[02:06] <Geothst> lol
[02:06] <escott> !si
[02:07] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, trying to run this through google translate is not going to be very effective
[02:07] <WHAT_UP> is there a way to stop the graphics card midway through? it seems to be running really hot, and i'm just sshing/running apache on the machine anyway so i have no use for any display
[02:07] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> nice!!! in my own language... thank u, but in home channel.. are sleeping
[02:07] <walterwoj> for example file created by the share a owned by root with chmod 700 but files added localy are owned by walterwoj chmod 700 making both inaccessible to the others
[02:10] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> escott?
[02:10] <escott> walterwoj, did you modify the samba config at all
[02:10] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, im not sure what to tell you. you need to make changes to the Virtual machine configuration in the vbox manager
[02:10] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> ok
[02:11] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> guide?
[02:11] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> got vbox running
[02:12] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-usb.html
[02:12] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, or https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=45161
[02:13] <Geo|N7> This is incredibly infuriating.
[02:13] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> escott, try to guide me.. plese
[02:14] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> please
[02:14] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> i need access to files till six am, 3h till than
[02:15] <Geothst> s-by-s-HELP-VM, this stuff is already complicated enough. There are a lot of technical terms and abbreviations that google translate is not going to work for. It's going to be pretty much impossible to guide you through something when half of the words aren't going to translate.
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> s-by-s-HELP-VM: escott: can't ubuntu just access the NTFS?
[02:17] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> actionparsnip, is that q directed 2 me?
[02:17] <escott> ActionParsnip, ours is not to wonder why, ours is but to answer the questions asked. its probably just how s-by-s-HELP-VM phrased his question that gave the sense he wanted direct access of some kind
[02:18] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> any access would be ok...
[02:18] <gdeeble> Hello, just curious if anyone has worked with zoneminder before?
[02:19] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> in my computer... in win xp, is only C:\ and.. thats is it.. no usbs, other hdd
[02:19] <Geothst> Don't you have to have 3rd party plugins (closed source) to use USB on VM? I'm pretty sure I remember having this issue as well, and I had to install the closed source version of VM.
[02:19] <vanessa> hi..  can someone help me sort out a KMS vs. Radeon (gallium3d/r300g driver) conflict?  Resume from suspend-to-ram = black screen unless I disable KMS, but do that and I get knocked down to VESA video.
[02:19] <escott> s-by-s-HELP-VM, that would be the easiest then. "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" open the ntfs drive with "nautilus" in ubuntu, and then pass the folder "/media/XXXX-XXXX" to the windows guest with the guest additions
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> s-by-s-HELP-VM: ubuntu can access NTFS partitions, You don't need Windows..
[02:19] <escott> Geothst, newest versions have some USB support
[02:19] <Geothst> Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to remove a PPA when I can't remove it from GUI or CLI?
[02:20] <NSAgent> Geothst: Virtualbox requires an extension pack for USB 2
[02:20] <RamchandraApte> !ask
[02:20] <vanessa> Geothst, install ppa-purge and use that.
[02:20] <Geothst> I tried that. It says the PPA doesn't exist.
[02:20] <Geothst> But when I try to open the Ubunut Software Center, it crashes and says the gnome ppa is missing something.
[02:20] <RamchandraApte> Geothst: you can edit the file manually
[02:21] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> yes... but.. in VM Box, i would like to access internal hdd on my laptop.. i use external hdd to run linux on it, and win xp in it
[02:21] <Geothst> I'm a bit of a newb, RamchandraApte, can you explain how to do that?
[02:21] <RamchandraApte> Geothst: ofc I am doing that.
[02:21] <escott> RamchandraApte, that doesn't exactly remove the installed packages
[02:21] <escott> Geothst, ppa-purge doesn't see the ppa?
[02:21] <RamchandraApte> escott: oh that is what he/she wants to do.
[02:22] <escott> RamchandraApte, its potentially unsafe to just nuke the ppa from sources.list
[02:22] <Geothst> E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:22] <Geothst> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[02:22] <Geothst> Warning:  apt-get update failed for some reason
[02:22] <RamchandraApte> escott: not in the hands of experts :D
[02:22] <escott> RamchandraApte, then you are sitting around with packages coming from the PPA and have no PPA backing them
[02:23] <VanessaE_[L]> there, that's better.
[02:23] <escott> !into ppa-purge | Geothst
[02:23] <escott> !info ppa-purge | Geothst
[02:23] <RamchandraApte> escott: but is it impossible to uninstall them?
[02:23] <blackshirt> geothst, something wrong on your gnomey sources list
[02:23] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> now i got compiz issue
[02:23] <Geothst> All I know is I can't remove the PPA because everything crashes and the crash is saying it's the PPA that's causing the crash.
[02:23] <s-by-s-HELP-VM> :(
[02:23] <escott> RamchandraApte, in his case he would have gnome-ppa packages that would override the standard ppa packages
[02:23] <three18ti> mmkay.  I'm open to ideas on how to make a live usb disk that is a) persistent, b) customizable. liveusb won't work because it doesn't have the flexibility I need.  Unfortunately, the instructions I was following seem to be outdated or otherwise incorrect.
[02:24] <escott> Geothst, i assume this happened after you upgraded to precise
[02:24] <Geothst> Yeah I tried PPA purge and got that output that I just pasteed. $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team-gnome3
[02:24] <Geothst> No, this is a fresh 12.04 install. Unity crashes every 5 minutes so I'm trying to install something that doesn't crash.
[02:24] <Geothst> So i can actually do things. Instead of sit here and send in crash logs.
[02:25] <dr_willis> Type 'ain' is not known on line 3... sounds like a typo in the file
[02:25] <escott> Geothst, clearly not a fresh install if you have a PPA
[02:25] <Geothst> Yes. I tried to install gnome3 and now I can't open my package manager to remove it.
[02:26] <dr_willis> when in doubt, fall back to the cli tools.
[02:26] <axisys> is there a way to find out the dependency pkg without installing the pkg?
[02:26] <escott> Geothst, sounds like you got a broken ppa. i haven't kept up with the gnome3 ppa team, but you can just install gnome-shell
[02:26] <Geothst> I can't use my package manager at all.
[02:26] <Geothst> It says this error every time I do anything. from GUI or CLI.
[02:27] <Geothst> Hence my frustration.
[02:27] <AR_> Geothst, it's pretty easy
[02:27] <AR_> what do you want to install
[02:27] <Geothst> Anything, at this point. I can't even install .deb files. It gives me this ppa error every time, and then closes.
[02:28] <AR_> sudo apt-get install whatever
[02:28] <escott> Geothst, you need to correct the typo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:28] <Geothst> Ubuntu Software Center won't even try to open it all, it immediately gives me this error.
[02:28] <Geothst> And then closes.
[02:28] <AR_> dont use GUI
[02:28] <dr_willis> looks like its saying theres an error on line 3 of that file... you should be able to just remove that  gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list to some other place
[02:28] <escott> Geothst, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:28] <Geothst> I already pasted what the CLI error is when I try to use apt-get. I can't use apt-get.
[02:28] <AR_> remove GUI from your computer and enjoy tremendous speed increase
[02:28] <escott> Geothst, if you haven't actually installed anything from gnome3 ppa team you can just sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:29] <Geothst> Phew. Finally. We're getting somewhere!
[02:29] <AR_> lol @ topic in #2,000
[02:29] <AR_> haha
[02:29] <dr_willis> err.. dident we say to edit that file and fix it like 20 min ago? ;)
[02:29] <Geothst> That worked, escott. Thank you!
[02:30] <Geothst> I asked how. I said I'm new and didn't know where the file was. :(
[02:30] <kiyoura> looooo
[02:30] <AR_> kiyoura, do you like the topic
[02:30] <dr_willis> the error gave the full path to the file.. ;)
[02:30] <AR_> in #2,000
[02:30] <Geothst> Then people just kept telling me to use apt-get on CLI after I had already said I was getting an error with that no matter what I did.
[02:30] <AR_> what is the error
[02:30] <Butcho> I'm getting a lot of garbled text in 12.10. Similar to this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/216780/garbled-text-in-terminal-titles-and-other-places-after-upgrade-to-12-10
[02:31] <AR_> sudo apt-get install apt
[02:31] <Geothst> The error was the gnome ppa thing.
[02:31] <AR_> apt-get remove gnome
[02:31] <Geothst> I couldn't use apt-get lol. How many times do I have to say that?
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: can you pastebin the output of:    gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:32] <dr_willis> about as many times as we said to edit the file and fix the error it seems... :)
[02:32] <Geothst> escott fixed it for me.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: why are you adding the PPA anyway?
[02:32] <escott> Geothst, we are trying to be careful not to mess up your system
[02:32] <Geothst> Unity is crashing like eveyr 5 minutes.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: maybe I'll get listened to :)
[02:32] <AR_> do you not have sudo?
[02:32] <Geothst> I want a UI that doesn't keep me filling out crash reports all day.
[02:32] <AR_> apt-get install sudo
[02:32] <AR_> ?
[02:32] <tentaclemoose> get xfce
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: can you pastebin the output of:    gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
[02:33] <Geothst> It's already been deleted, ActionParsnip.
[02:33] <dr_willis> Geothst:  sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop   perhaps..
[02:33] <escott> Geothst, if you just remove a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d without giving apt a chance to install the non-ppa versions of the package... that would be bad
[02:33] <Geothst> Problem is solved :)
[02:33] <tentaclemoose> sorry, i just got so excited about xfce for a moment that i couldn't contain myself
[02:33] <Geothst> Yeah but there were no packages installed because it crashed.
[02:33] <AR_> remove all your temporary files in /etc/
[02:33] <Geothst> I added the PPA and tried to update it and it crashed.
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: can you please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com   open the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list file and pastebin the file please
[02:34] <Geothst> So, if the PPA is broken how do I install gnome3?
[02:34] <dr_willis> Geothst:  what relase are you using?
[02:34] <AR_> sudo apt-get install gnome3
[02:34] <Geothst> The file no longer exists, ActionParsnip. I just deleted it.
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: ok cool
[02:34] <dr_willis> Geothst:  how did you add the ppa? Looks like you or someone did a typo when adding it
[02:34] <Geothst> I copied it from a website for "how to install gnome3".
[02:34] <tentaclemoose> i think he's sorted it out already
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: if you want the PPA just run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
[02:35] <dr_willis> Geothst:  sounds like you made a typo. or the site did.. or a misspaste,,
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:35] <Irken> Ubuntu sucks
[02:35] <dr_willis> Geothst:  so what release of ubuntu are you using?
[02:35] <Geothst> All is well now. The file is gone, so I can use apt-get again.
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: your call, those packages are not supported here
[02:35] <Geothst> 12.04
[02:35] <AR_> Irken, this is not the place for trolling
[02:35] <Geothst> What is the difference between using a PPA and installing sudo apt-get install gnome3?
[02:35] <Irken> On the contrary
[02:35] <dr_willis> Geothst:  gnome is in the 12.04 repos.. no real need for that ppa
[02:36] <Irken> This is the place for trolling
[02:36] <NSAgent> Geothst: You can't do it without the ppa
[02:36] <Irken> Because Ubuntu sucks
[02:36] <NSAgent> Never mind, apparently ;)
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: Precise comes with Gnome3 by default
[02:36] <AR_> Geothst, remove all temporary files in /etc/ and i guarantee it will work
[02:36] <escott> !gnome3 | Geothst
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: it just uses Unity shell, instead of the default Gnome shell which is the 'normal' shell for Gnome 3
[02:37] <AR_> !gnome4 | escott
[02:38] <Butcho> anyone know of a fix for stuff like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/216780/garbled-text-in-terminal-titles-and-other-places-after-upgrade-to-12-10
[02:38] <AR_> yeah just remove temporary files in /etc
[02:38] <three18ti> the Ubuntu Customization Kit doesn't work.
[02:38] <NSAgent> Butcho: Looks like a possible problem with the video driver
[02:38] <SunMoonStar> hi all. I'm at my wit's end trying to install this printer.. I'm on ubuntu 12.10; printer is Dell v725w; i installed the driver and firmware from dell website (http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/dell-v725w-inkjet-printer). I've restarted after having done that.. the printer is not in the printers list.. so I go to add it, it detects it (network printer), but has no good suggestions for device driver. I tried it's suggesti
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Geothst: did you upgrade from Precise to Quantal?
[02:39] <Geothst> No, this is a brand new 12.04 install.
[02:40] <jgspratt> Booted from a live CD, started a copy, then the "classic desktop" (which is slow as hell) crashed and wanted to report an error (very windows-esque) and then I couldn't use the keyboard except in menues.
[02:40] <Butcho> NSAgent, indeed it does I think. I'm using Nouveau. Anyway to fix it?
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: is it an upgrade to Quantal from Preicse?
[02:40] <ArkhamP> Hello
[02:40] <Butcho> no
[02:40] <jgspratt> Can I boot from an ubuntu live CD to a terminal-only environment?
[02:40] <Butcho> new install
[02:40] <Yohan> Irken...yo.
[02:40] <Irken> what
[02:40] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, no, new install
[02:40] <NSAgent> Butcho: Try the nvidia one
[02:40] <Yohan> hai...
[02:40] <Irken> hello
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: if you run:  nvidia-settings   what driver are you using?
[02:41] <NSAgent> jgspratt: There should be an option for text mode on the initial boot screen
[02:41] <jgspratt> saw nothing.  it just went to a brownish background
[02:41] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, Nouveau
[02:41] <jgspratt> there was no option menu
[02:42] <ArkhamP> Why can I not get Xchat to go to the tray?
[02:42] <jgspratt> if I click "try ubuntu" I just get a windows desktop
[02:42] <Irken> swarfega: are we the only ones with avatars?
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: then run:   sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    then reboot. Your Intel CPU doesn't have an inbuilt CPU which makes a tonne of issues not happen
[02:42] <NSAgent> jgspratt: By that point you're too far, it's at the initial boot screen
[02:43] <jgspratt> NSAgent: what does that screen look like?
[02:43] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, ok rebooting, brb
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> jgspratt: which release are you booting?
[02:44] <NSAgent> jgspratt: Should be something like http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMuQLiFs-bQ/UF2pTDNydHI/AAAAAAAAGx4/14CKvWhAvuQ/s1600/try-ubuntu-menu.png
[02:44] <jgspratt> latest desktop
[02:44] <jgspratt> can I enable sshd?
[02:44] <dr_willis> install the opensshd service..
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> jgspratt: what video chip are you using?
[02:45] <jgspratt> unable to locate package opensshd
[02:45] <jgspratt> this is a server
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> jgspratt: openssh-server
[02:45] <dr_willis> apt-cache search   is our friend
[02:45] <NSAgent> jgspratt: If it's a server, install Ubuntu Server and don't use the desktop livecd
[02:45] <NSAgent> jgspratt: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
[02:45] <dr_willis> tab completion should also work for most of the apt commands
[02:46] <jgspratt> ubuntu server doesn't have a live cd?
[02:46] <dr_willis> it would be an INSTALL cd....
[02:46] <blackshirt> jgspratt, not really needed
[02:46] <dr_willis> since theres no live desktop to be live to.. ;)
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> jgspratt: you can press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run commands there, its like a liveCD yes
[02:46] <jgspratt> ActionParsnip: that's what I was looking for thank you sir!
[02:46] <dr_willis> why are you even wanting just a server install?
[02:47] <jgspratt> this is an ESX server
[02:47] <NSAgent> You sure it isn't a VM running on ESX?
[02:47] <dr_willis> oh that makes it SOOO clear... ;)
[02:47] <NSAgent> If it's an ESX server, you're about to kill it.
[02:47] <jgspratt> I'm at the box
[02:47] <jgspratt> it is literally on my desdk
[02:47] <NSAgent> Then you're about to kill i
[02:47] <jgspratt> i have a monitor plugged into it
[02:47] <NSAgent> *it
[02:48] <jgspratt> how am I going to do that?
[02:48] <jgspratt> I haven't even mounted the file systems yet
[02:48] <NSAgent> *if you install, you're going to kill it
[02:49] <jgspratt> I'm not installing it. this is a live cd for a reason
[02:49] <NSAgent> Then yes, live cd, control alt f2 to get to the console
[02:51] <theslow1> hey everyone, I have proper 3d acceleration after typing "sudo modprobe radeon"
[02:51] <theslow1> anyone know why radeon might not be the default driver set when booting?
[02:51] <brandon420> Best thing to use to burn .mp3 to a cd.......  GO
[02:52] <NSAgent> Isn't brasero there by default?
[02:52] <brandon420> yeah, it froze on me...
[02:52] <blackshirt> !radeon
[02:54] <alhosni> Hi all
[02:54] <alhosni> I've got a problem in ubuntu system you install wine program and then you install the program Steam and work well, but when I run Steam program after installation program appears without any written words sincere  Is the problem of wine or problem in my system
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: if you run:  echo "radeon" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules    it will load at bot for you :)
[02:55] <dr_willis> alhosni:  steam has a native linux client thats in beta testing right now. ;)
[02:55] <nirvana> i know this is ubuntu, but i guess its the same. here is the thing. I have Backtrack on my partition and i want to overwrite it with windows 8, but when i tried it said something about the filesystem is not NTFS so i cannot install win8 on the partition. How to solve this?
[02:55] <milo64> hi
[02:55] <NSAgent> nirvana: ##windows
[02:55] <dr_willis> nirvana:  delete the partions  - let windows repartion as needed.. would be one way
[02:56] <milo64> nirvana: #debian para backtrack.
[02:56] <alhosni> How can i fix the problem
[02:56] <jgspratt> well, the ESX server fuse mount is being backed up to the USB mount now, I am happy to report.  got openssh-server installed, changed the root password of the live cd at the terminal, sshed in from my desktop, ran a cp.  I'll be back in the morning to see how it went, this 1.4T copy :)
[02:56] <nirvana> is backtrack based on debian or ubuntu?
[02:56] <milo64> nirvana: debian
[02:56] <milo64> technically
[02:57] <three18ti> milo64, they say on their website they are based on 10.04 (BT 5 anyway)
[02:58] <three18ti> BT4 was based on 8.04 IIRC.
[02:58] <milo64> hm... i must have outdated info. then
[02:58] <alhosni> Is there no solve the problem in the writing does not appear on the program Steam
[02:58] <dr_willis> alhosni:  check the wine app database perhaps
[02:58] <dr_willis> alhosni:  ive had no issues with wine and steam here.. butim on a nvidia system
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> nirvana: backtrack is offtopic here
[02:59] <three18ti> wikipedia says debian though.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> three18ti: why not ask in #backtrack-linux
[02:59] <blackshirt> three18ti, thats not important
[02:59] <three18ti> ActionParsnip, not me nirvana
[02:59] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, when I select any of the other nvidia drivers. My resolution is set to 1280x800, the display says laptop, I can't change it and everything is offscreen. The only thing I can do is rightclick the desktop
[03:00] <nirvana> can i ask many silly questions about ubuntu? like how to copy a file, delete a file, as long as it is a question related to ubuntu.
[03:00] <almoxarife> nirvana: yes
[03:00] <bkfitz> anyone know why i'd be getting a 'unable to connect' when using rdesktop to connect to win2003 server box that I know has no port restrictions and i know remote desktop works when connecting from another windows machine?
[03:00] <milo64> is it possible to print the inverted question mark and ñ in CLI and using US layout?
[03:00] <blackshirt> nirvana, yes,sure
[03:00] <milo64> .
[03:01] <almoxarife> bkfitz: you are firewalled?
[03:01] <milo64> !details | alhosni
[03:01] <Geothst> Well. I got Unity to stop crashing.
[03:01] <three18ti> !ask
[03:02] <almoxarife> bkfitz: can you ping the ip/port?
[03:02] <three18ti> !rules | nirvana
[03:03] <three18ti> that's not the one either...
[03:03] <Geothst> I reinstalled X11, Unity, Compiz, and uninstalled Nouveau and NVidia drivers. Now I have no desktop. I just have a desktop background. I'm running xchat out of a terminal...
[03:04] <milo64> nirvana: if you would not behave. You may first like to check on: sudo rm -rf / :)
[03:05] <blackshirt> !danger
[03:05] <bkfitz> almoxarife: i'm vpn'd in and on my old laptop 10.04, i had no problems, now on my new 12.04 i have problems.  just checked and I cannot ping it.  <- confused
[03:05] <alhosni> There is other problem in ubuntu  the massege : the system is running in low-graphics mode
[03:05] <almoxarife> bkfitz: if you cant ping it then you are firewalled somehow
[03:05] <Geothst> compiz is still giving me a bunch of errors when I run "Unity". failed to bind image to texture, failed to receive configurenotify event...
[03:05] <bkfitz> almoxarife: I believe ASA is preventing pings though
[03:06] <alhosni> your screen graphics card and input device settings
[03:06] <alhosni> could not be detected correctly you will need to configure these yourself
[03:06] <bkfitz> almoxarife: yes, but i'm almost positive 3389 is open
[03:06] <Butcho> Does anyone know why when I activate the nvidia drivers, my monitor is detected as 'laptop' my resolution is set to 1280x800, everything is offscreen and I can only rightclick the desktop ?
[03:06] <Sornaensis> hallo
[03:06] <bkfitz> almoxarife: will nmap host tell me or does it use pings?
[03:07] <milo64> is it possible to print the inverted question mark and ñ in CLI and using US layout?
[03:07] <almoxarife> bkfitz: nmap can do other checks besides ping
[03:07] <almoxarife> bkfitz: are you sure you are pinging the correct address?
[03:08] <bkfitz> almoxarife: yes on the address... via ip - what syntax of nmap should i use
[03:08] <alhosni> Ther's 4 choice : what would you like to do . 1- run in low-graphics mode for just one session   2-reconfigur graphics   3-troubleshoot the error   4-exit to console login
[03:09] <alhosni> I'm afraid of losing my important files
[03:10] <almoxarife> bkfitz: try -A -P0 -T4 -v
[03:12] <wolfygang> Hi guys, on ubuntu im an admin but certain folders I can't view or edit permissions, because it says I don't have permission to access the folders, any advice?
[03:13] <dr_willis> what files/folders?
[03:14] <wolfygang> I think it's everything I install, they have a lock on the folder icon
[03:14] <dr_willis> and how are you trying to access them?
[03:15] <wolfygang> right click properties
[03:15] <wolfygang> and when i go into the folders certain ones say I don;t have access to view them
[03:15] <dr_willis> thats your USER that cant modify system files.. that makes sence
[03:15] <wolfygang> i tried sudo adduser <blah> admin
[03:16] <wolfygang> but it says im already an admin
[03:16] <dr_willis> that dosent give your user full rights to chage everyting at any time on the system
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> wolfygang: did you log off and on after adding yourself to the group?
[03:16] <dr_willis> that just gives you sudo access
[03:16] <wolfygang> Action: yes
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> wolfygang: if you run:  sudo -i     you can do as you please until you run:  exit
[03:17] <dr_willis> so your user, running the nautilus file manager,, you are trying to modifiy files in /etc/ for example?
[03:17] <almoxarife> wolfygang: try this, in terminal, 'gksu nautilus--no-desktop' , be careful what you do in that mode
[03:17] <nikolam> hi. is there a separate Freenode IRC channel for Ubuntu software center support?
[03:17] <blackshirt> throw away your windows behaviour :d
[03:18] <wolfygang> dr: yes
[03:18] <dr_willis> wolfygang:  thats how it works.. ;) its a feature
[03:18] <syntroPi> Is there any possibility to get flash working properly with nvidia-current vdpau? I tried everything i found on google and either i have crashes, blue color swapped videos or no full screen support? Will this EVER be possible or is there simply no working flash for ubuntu and nvidia?
[03:18] <dr_willis> just being in the admin group does not meanyou can just go anywhere with the file manager and do things.. since the file manager is being ran as your user . not root.
[03:19] <wolfygang> almo: how do I leave that feature?
[03:19] <keith_> How can I lock the fn key on a macbook? I'm tired of having to press it every time I want to use my F1-F12 keys
[03:19] <dr_willis> wolfygang:  what are you wanting to edit EXACTLY? and why>
[03:19] <almoxarife> syntroPi: what is the connection between nvidia and flash?
[03:20] <dr_willis> wolfygang:  keep it in the channel. No need to msg me.
[03:20] <nikolam> I would like to be able to filter in/filter out proprietary software in software center. And to filter by other ways
[03:20] <djlynux> Hi Guys, any idea, when the libmesg pidgin patch will be released? I can see the f ix has already been released.
[03:20] <syntroPi> almoxarife, they simply dont work together
[03:20] <dr_willis> Hmm.. flash and nvidia are working fine for me..
[03:21] <dr_willis> I do tend to use flash-downloader plugins ;)
[03:21] <almoxarife> syntroPi: no true, works here on xbmc-buntu just fine
[03:21] <syntroPi> almoxarife, dr_willis, do you use nvidia-current?
[03:21] <wolfygang> dr: Ok I'm trying to compile a kernel for android, but im getting a 'Arm-eabi-gcc command not found" and i need to go into the folder to get the right paths, but it wont let me view the contents of the folder
[03:21] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  yes
[03:21] <alhosni> Linux operating system ubuntu was working with me without a problem and suddenly a message appears and returned to work and then returned the same problem does not accept entry After takeoff box appears entitled  the system is running in low-graphics mode Written underneath your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly you will need to configure these yourself When you click on a word ok Box app
[03:22] <syntroPi> dr_willis, what did you modify and how to get it working?
[03:22] <almoxarife> syntroPi: yeap, the two are not the issue, if you have flash issues its a flash issue, only!
[03:22] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  i did... nothing special.. installed 12.10, installed the flash stuff..  it worked...
[03:22] <dr_willis> usintg the default stuff from the repos
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> alhosni: what video chip do you use?
[03:23] <syntroPi> dr_willis, almoxarife, i spend hours and tried everything i could find out there and it never worked on my box ever
[03:23] <dr_willis> wolfygang:  you may be needing to learn to use the shell  for some of what you are doing.
[03:23] <syntroPi> maybe by gpu is nuts or sth
[03:23] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  works with no hassles on my 3 nvidia systems
[03:23] <VanessaE> hi...  still trying to sort out this KMS vs. Radeon vs. suspend/resume issue.
[03:23] <dr_willis> and my 2 netbooks.
[03:23] <alhosni> I don't knew
[03:24] <almoxarife> syntroPi: how did you install 'flash', be specific
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> alhosni: run:  lspci | grep -i vga     what is output?
[03:24] <syntroPi> almoxarife, from the partner repo
[03:24] <almoxarife> syntroPi: specifically what package?
[03:25] <alhosni> now i can see only black screen
[03:25] <wolfygang> I do export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/dylan/ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
[03:25] <alhosni> the system not running
[03:25] <wolfygang> then make clean && make mrproper
[03:25] <syntroPi> almoxarife, http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>-0precise1_amd64.deb
[03:25] <wolfygang> and i get arm-eabi-gcc command not found
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> alhosni: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run it there, you can use CTRL+ALT+F7
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> !find arm-eabi-gcc
[03:26] <alhosni> i am Beginner
[03:26] <syntroPi> almoxarife, it even wont work with chrome and its ppapi
[03:26] <almoxarife> syntroPi: you are running 'precise' 64 i assume
[03:26] <QuietStorm81> evening all. I'm having issues upgrading to 12.10. once the process tries to calculate the changes, it gives mean error saying I have held broken packages but when I run synaptic it tells me I have no unbroken packages. I'm using 12.04 and have disabled all the PPA's I was using in software sources.
[03:26] <Guest59993> any cs majors or anyone that know how to turn regular expressions into finite state machines on
[03:27] <QuietStorm81> any help would be greatly appreciated.
[03:27] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, you around?
[03:27] <almoxarife> syntroPi: does syslog complain about 'flash'?
[03:27] <syntroPi> almoxarife, nope i run natty 64 and will reinstall precise, before that package i used http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>-0natty1_amd64.deb but i wanted to be on 251 branch for possible bug fixes. neither version is fine
[03:28] <alhosni> I don't understand what you mean
[03:28] <srj235> I managed to block all protocols by default
[03:28] <srj235> with the firewall
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: aye
[03:29] <syntroPi> almoxarife, nope but it crashes in ~50% of the time
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> wolfygang: https://gist.github.com/1055352
[03:29] <almoxarife> syntroPi: no idea, but i get the impression now you mix-match packages, good luck
[03:30] <VanessaE> is there a command I can run, some program I can install, that will force the screen back on on my laptop after suspend disables it?  (black/dead screen on resume.  Intel chipset, ATI graphics, Gallium3d driver - old radeon is the same way)
[03:30] <alhosni> What is the cause of that problem where the system was functioning normally
[03:30] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, tried all the various nvidia drivers. Can't get a working display. my monitor is detected as laptop, everythings huge at 1280x800 resolution, and everything off screen so I can't run anything.
[03:30] <syntroPi> almoxarife, yes as i said im really out of ideas since it never works on my box so i try everything i could think of
[03:30] <VanessaE> I mean a complete reset of the laptop screen, short of powering off/on the video device (unless that's trivial to do)
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: have you tried tweaking in nvidia-settings
[03:31] <Butcho> it tells me I'm not running the driver
[03:31] <syntroPi> almoxarife, i even installed the proprietary chrome to try it out
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: sounds liek a cheap screen, not reporting EDID
[03:31] <Butcho> works fine in nouveau
[03:31] <almoxarife> syntroPi: run a live distro, if it runs flash then you can discount the hardware, that leaves user and system install
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: try:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    then reboot
[03:31] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, it's a apple cinema display 30"... anything but cheap :)
[03:32] <keith_> How can I switch the state of the Fn key? I don't want to press it unless I want to use the media buttons
[03:32] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, actually I did... made it worse at 800x600 resolution
[03:32] <ActionParsnip>  Butcho then it's missing EDID goodness
[03:32] <syntroPi> almoxarife, even tried that yet no luck
[03:32] <fengxiaolong> my english is very poor,who can give me some advice?
[03:32] <fengxiaolong> to improve my english
[03:33] <almoxarife> syntroPi: as much as it seems impossible then, your hardware cant handle flash
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: cool, then use:   gksudo nvidia-settings    and set the res to something and click 'save to X server config'   you can then run:   gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:33] <syntroPi> i just hoped for adobe to cut support for flash for all platforms: web devs wouldnt use that shitty plugin anymore and problem would be solved once and for all time
[03:34] <xangua> !language | syntroPi
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: it lives on in Chrome :)
[03:34] <syntroPi> almoxarife, my previous box with nvidia card didnt work for flash on linux either, seems its just no good combi
[03:35] <syntroPi> xangua, sorry im just upset
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Butcho: you can then edit the xorg.conf file manually and setup the screen. Good screens do this all for you.
[03:36] <Butcho> ActionParsnip, I'll give it a shot. Hard to do all this at exploded resolutions when everythings off screen
[03:36] <mih1406> I want to help translate Ubuntu into Arabic, the Arabic team are not responding to my questions. What else can I do to get answers?
[03:36] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  there are flash-video-replacer plugins (you will have to google for it) that play flash videos from many sites in VLC or mplayer instead of flash in the browser.
[03:36] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  or use some of the various flash-downloader plugins
[03:37] <syntroPi> ActionParsnip, yes i know but the fullscreen is broken even in the latest chrome dev on my box
[03:38] <syntroPi> dr_willis, yes i know of those, ist just feels too crippled to use it like that
[03:39] <syntroPi> especially youtube wont support html5 on all its channels (wg those with adds)
[03:39] <dr_willis> hmm... not sure what you mean..  not all youtube videos are html5 anyway.
[03:40] <dr_willis> The plugins ive beenusing work great on youtube. i even use the plugins on windows.
[03:40] <blackness> how would i find every single file ? hidden, or not.
[03:40] <VanessaE> ok I got something here
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: why use dev, why not use stable....
[03:41] <syntroPi> almoxarife, dr_willis: which nvidia GPU can you confirm to work with flash, nvidia-current and precise x64 with hw accel out of the box?
[03:41] <VanessaE> my black-screen-after-resume issue, if I do (as root), vbetool post - the screen starts working, but it is set to the wrong resolution etc.  How do I plug that command into the resume scripts so that it's executed before X attempts to "restore" the screen?
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest58258
[03:41] <almoxarife> syntroPi: please, leave me out of this
[03:41] <syntroPi> ActionParsnip, because the stable has that issue too and i thought maybe they fixed it in dev
[03:41] <dr_willis> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 530] (rev a1)
[03:41] <dr_willis> thats my desktop box
[03:42] <dr_willis>  I doubt if its a GPU vs flash issue... but do what you want ;)
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: did you uninstall all other flash packages etc
[03:42] <dr_willis> and i am on 64bit. 12.10
[03:42] <almoxarife> dr_willis: its not, or i would have one sorry experience on the home HTC
[03:42] <syntroPi> dr_willis, does that GPU run with nouveau too?
[03:42] <syntroPi> ActionParsnip, yes of course
[03:43] <dr_willis> syntroPi:  during the install... yes. ;) i install nvidia-current asap.
[03:43] <almoxarife> its not nouveau either
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: works fine here on 13.04 using Chrome 32bit
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: also works on 12.04 64bit + nvidia + Chrome
[03:44] <syntroPi> dr_willis, maybe my GPU is broken somehow, nouveau never worked on it with modesetting only with nomodeset (VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2))
[03:45] <VanessaE> anyone?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> VanessaE: are there any bugs reported?
[03:45] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: syntroPi says that a live distro does not run flash on his box, its the box, must be
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> VanessaE: I've seen people report that as soon as you try and wake up, wiggle the mouse
[03:45] <syntroPi> ActionParsnip, may i know which GPU works on your box?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sounds logoical
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: GeFore 6150 and some mid / low end Intel thing in a Dell Latitude D420
[03:46] <almoxarife> syntroPi: what hardware do you have, besides the nvidia?
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: do you have a switchable video chip?
[03:46] <VanessaE> ActionParsnip: multiple bugs across multiple laptops, chipsets, video devices - black/dead screen on resume.  But no official solutions.  So far if I do "vbetool post" from an ssh session, the screen wakes up but is severely corrupted.  xrandr can change resolutions and so forth, but that doesn't help.
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> VanessaE: its a real pain to get nice unles s it works OOTB, personally I don't see the point
[03:47] <syntroPi> almoxarife, nope the GPU is the only one on my system it uses intel p55 with core i7 860
[03:47] <VanessaE> in fact right now, aside from the garbled, flickering screen caused by "vbetool post", it's behaving completely normal - a (distorted) mouse pointer, responding to commands by ssh, screensaver, the whole smash.
[03:48] <syntroPi> ActionParsnip, nope only that gt240
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> syntroPi: yes, the core i7 860 doesn't have an inbuilt GPU :)
[03:50] <linkrules> hi guys
[03:51] <blackness> ive never seen a CPU with a GPU built in..
[03:52] <ripps> syntroPi: nouveau doesn't work with nvidia gt 240, specifically the the models that use gddr5 memory. I have one and the nouveau devs know it doesn't work, but they don't know why, and don't seem to be that interested in figuring it out at the moment
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> blackness: ivybridge and sandybridge not ring any bells?
[03:53] <blackness> yeah..
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> blackness: those have INtel GPUs built in them
[03:53] <syntroPi> ripps, yes i read tons of bug reports about it, and my card uses gddr5 1gb, i think i will have to buy a new GPU but i just dont know which one ...
[03:54] <ripps> syntroPi: what's wrong with the proprietary drivers?
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> blackness: its where this optimus mess comes from, one of those plus an nvidia gpu = optimus = headache in linux
[03:54] <dr_willis> i find its often worth while to stick with the hardware thats older from like a year ago. ;)
[03:55] <blackness> dr_willis, i agree...i NEVER buy something fresh off the line..always 6+months min.
[03:55] <syntroPi> ripps, flash is wrong the rest works pretty fine (vdpau and such), but sometimes x had some bugs too
[03:56] <dr_willis> plus its cheaper. ;)
[03:56] <ripps> syntroPi: hmmm... i use flash all the time, seems to work fine for me
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: by a large amount too
[03:56] <syntroPi> ripps, on wich GPU?
[03:56] <blackness> i dont understand, i installed ubuntu 11.10, installed python, perl, lighttpd, no X and its still using 15GB of space.
[03:56] <ripps> syntroPi: gt 240 1gb gddr5
[03:57] <ripps> im using the experimental 310 drivers in the quantal repos
[03:57] <blackness> ncdu shows the largest folder is, /usr/ how would i find every directory ? even those like this " " and ".*" ?
[03:57] <ripps> but everything seemed to work fine when i was using 304 too
[03:58] <frederick> hi everybody,i still can not use my digitizer(graphic tablet) in my ubuntu
[03:58] <frederick> i have already add a xorg.conf file in my xorg.conf.d folder
[03:58] <blackness> i thought Xorg.conf went in /etc/X11 ?
[03:58] <frederick> and add some lines in the rules file
[03:59] <frederick> blackness,i add it in usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[03:59] <blackness> ohh
[03:59] <frederick> my digitizer still only response the "click" behavior,but can not move cursor
[04:00] <frederick> andybody can help me?
[04:00] <syntroPi> ripps, i have here the gainward gt240 with 1gb gddr5, which manufacturer did you use?
[04:00] <zxcduc> hello
[04:00] <ripps> syntroPi: ah geez, i don't remember, give me a sec to look it up
[04:00] <zxcduc> Please help me
[04:01] <veryhappy> hi guys, better boot ubuntu via /boot or with the root partition?
[04:01] <frederick> anybody could help me with my installation of digitizer(grahpic tablet)?
[04:01] <frederick> please
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> frederick: I suggest you add to the bugs on launchpad and state what you know and have
[04:02] <frederick> Oh,ActionParsnip,i am just finding you,it's happy that you still here
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> frederick: add to the bugs
[04:04] <bkfitz> Anyone here that can help me troubleshoot a compromised 10.04 server
[04:04] <bkfitz> not sure how they got in
[04:04] <Gyro54> Hi!
[04:04] <ripps> syntroPi: it's an ECS NGT240-1GQJ-F
[04:04] <ripps> so, it was made by ECS
[04:05] <_syntroPi_> ripps, maybe the vbios settings on the gainward card are messed up somehow found it here http://www.gainward.com/main/edm/GT240/GT240_GD5_1G-golden.html
[04:05] <Gyro54> Where do I find Adobe so I can set the default program for Thunderbird?
[04:06] <jdk> hiiiiiiiiiiii
[04:06] <ripps> _syntroPi_: it's possible, you also might need to update your motherboard bios, I know of some mobos that had faulty pci-e buses that had problems with certain cpus, most were fixed with a firmware upgrade
[04:07] <_syntroPi_> ripps, yes already did that, even the latest beta didnt help
[04:09] <ripps> syntroPi: sorry, all i can say is that mine seems to work fine. I'm not using Ubuntu Unity, but Ubuntu Gnome Remix, but I doubt that has any effect on flash and your other issues. How long have you had the card? Are you able to get a manufacturer warranty or replacement?
[04:10] <frederick> ActionParsnip,how could i add to the bug?
[04:11] <syntroPi> ripps, im not sure if its a faulty silicon works fine in windows, just suspect it has some weird bits in the vbios or such. I will try to use it with the gnome 3 on precise or quantal since compiz seems also to be known to cause problems with flash
[04:12] <frederick> anybody has experience of install no-wacom digitizer on ubuntu????
[04:13] <jdk> hi , I have a problem with gtk gnutella (your apper to be firewalled)
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> frederick: post on the page in the box at the bottom
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> jdk: doesn't that need some port forwarding on the router so it accepts connections
[04:13] <syntroPi> ripps, if that does not work i will have to trash that GPU hw and find one that works better for ubuntu, im just not sure how i could find the right silicon... already read on the nouveau wiki, but there isnt that one recommended model on there...
[04:14] <frederick> ActionParsnip,which page??
[04:14] <jdk> ii
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> frederick: search for the 8 character hex ID, it's how I found them
[04:17] <pahom> hi all
[04:18] <veryhappy> please all i need to know what is better to boot ubuntu via /boot or just the root partition /. thanks.
[04:19] <blackness> veryhappy, i dont understand your question.
[04:19] <blackness> your boot data should live in /boot, not /
[04:19] <dr_willis> veryhappy:  these days - im not sure it matters.. /boot/ on its own partion can be handy
[04:19] <blackness> dr_willis, how did you know he was talking about partition slices?
[04:19] <dr_willis> veryhappy:  ages ago there was a hardware limit the use of /boot/ on its own partion at teh start of the hard drive got around the limit.
[04:19] <dr_willis> blackness:  thats the only thing that made sence. :)
[04:20] <dr_willis> You get ESP from hanging in here long enough
[04:20] <blackness> yeah i noticed that, but i didnt even notice, or think this..
[04:20] <escott> veryhappy, depends. if you have mdadm/lvm/luks/dmraid/btrfs then a separate /boot is needed
[04:20] <blackness> s/this/that
[04:20] <escott> veryhappy, although maybe not for btrfs these days
[04:20] <blackness> escott, you need a separate /boot for a encrypted OS?
[04:20] <dr_willis> If you want to get Fancy - you can have a big /boot/ partition and keep ISO files in it.. and set up grub2 to boot the ISO files.. for really really fast install/reinstalls ;) or fast booting of a live cd iso
[04:21] <escott> blackness, perhaps not. i dont know i dont bother with encryption
[04:21] <VanessaE> ok, how do I tell the system to run a command as the *very first thing* when it resumes from suspend?
[04:21] <blackness> dr_willis, i can do a full reinstall from usb in 10 minutes..
[04:21] <blackness> my system is encrypted, and i dont have a slice for /boot
[04:21] <jdk> <ActionParsnip: i can download files; but i can't upload (it said me i am firewalled)
[04:21] <escott> blackness, just trying to list all the things that could break a /boot
[04:22] <dr_willis> i have about 3 differnt ISOs in my /boot/ i boot from for specific needs. ;)
[04:22] <blackness> it would be nice if you can run the ISO as a liveOS and it grow as you require more space..
[04:23] <chuxxsss> ActionParsnip, still got the same problem with not be able to get software for repositrys
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> chuxxsss: can you give some details please
[04:24] <veryhappy> i think i'm going with the extra boot partition
[04:24] <veryhappy> thanks!
[04:24] <veryhappy> take care
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> jdk: not something I use, is there a #gnutella channel ?
[04:25] <modem> hey, kvm is at the speed of regular qemu.
[04:25] <modem> i've tried modprobe kvm
[04:25] <modem> and executing as root
[04:25] <chuxxsss> http://pastebin.com/wsgd7AhZ  used script that you send me got this from bash.
[04:25] <modem> on archlinux, everything is up to speed
[04:25] <modem> how can i fix this?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> jdk: #gtk-gnutella seems to be the channel
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> chuxxsss: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change gb.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com    and retry
[04:27] <chuxxsss> will do, ActionParsnip
[04:28] <modem> hello?
[04:28] <blackness> modem, Hello.
[04:28] <modem> hey, kvm is at the speed of regular qemu.
[04:28] <modem> i've tried modprobe kvm
[04:28] <modem> and executing as root
[04:28] <modem> how can i fix this?
[04:28] <escott> modem, #kvm perhaps
[04:29] <modem> hm.
[04:29] <blackness> that would be the best place modem, my servers dont support kvm so i use openvz
[04:29] <blackness> so i couldnt help you :(
[04:29] <blackness> ActionParsnip, since when does the apt-get errors show "localhost:4401" ?
[04:29] <escott> modem, but "we hear you" we just dont have an answer
[04:29] <blackness> is that due to a VPN ?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> blackness: could run a local mirror on the local pc
[04:30] <blackness> ohhh..
[04:32] <chuxxsss> http://pastebin.com/u0hVZeTu ActionParsnip
[04:33] <blackness> you cant install update chuxxsss
[04:33] <blackness> try apt-get update ..
[04:33] <blackness> if your trying to install the upgrades, do apt-get upgrade
[04:34] <chuxxsss> Will do, and Thanks
[04:34] <corvaxia> I am planning on running multiple partitions on my MacbookPro. If I want a separate partition shared between the two OS's, HFS unjournaled is the best option. Correct?
[04:36] <morphias> are there any devs online that could help me with packaging a program?
[04:36] <VanessaE> what series of commands do I run after getting vbetool to wake the screen up, to fully re-initialize it?
[04:37] <chuxxsss> http://pastebin.com/MaghvgJR  still going the same.
[04:37] <VanessaE> so far I can get back the mouse pointer (mostly stable, and responding) against a black, garbled, flickering screen.
[04:37] <VanessaE> What's next?
[04:37] <Seven_Six_Two> morphias, not me (sorry), but what aspect are you having trouble with?
[04:37] <blackness> morphias, are you building a .deb from a source code compile?
[04:38] <morphias> Seven_Six_Two, one minute
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> corvaxia: I'd go for NTFS
[04:38] <morphias> blackness, no.  i have one .cpp file and I want to learn how to make the deb package using the tutorial on ubuntu
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> morphias: look into checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts
[04:38] <corvaxia> That has read write privileges for both OSX and Ubuntu?
[04:39] <blackness> checkinstall is what you need, but you have to build the source into a binary before you can use checkinstall
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> corvaxia: not sure on MacOS. I'd assume so, Ubuntu definately can
[04:39] <blackness> morphias, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7272849&postcount=6
[04:39] <Seven_Six_Two> blackness, you mean you can't have a source deb?
[04:40] <blackness> no..if he wrote a program, and wants to build a deb for it, he has to compile the program (binary) and do sudo checkinstall after make.
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> blackness: doesn't checkinstall need a make file?
[04:40] <blackness> yes ActionParsnip
[04:40] <morphias> blackness, i am not using any make scripts.  i just used g++ to compile something simple
[04:41] <blackness> then you'll need alien i believe..lemme look around
[04:41] <morphias> blackness, thus i see other projects that have make scripts and the such and i am lost on that part.
[04:41] <morphias> lol
[04:42] <Seven_Six_Two> morphias, you don't know about make?
[04:42] <morphias> Seven_Six_Two, i have seen make when i compile other peoples projects but i never implemented my own ./configure make on a project
[04:42] <morphias> i only learned how to make a C++ file and compile it so far.
[04:43]  * morphias is new and trying to learn :/
[04:43] <dr_willis> Time to Take it to the next level. ;)
[04:43] <blackness> morphias, i believe this will help, http://blackness.sytes.net:8181/e49fb3f8-32cc-11e2-92e2-c5c8428f582c
[04:43] <dr_willis> make file for helloworld.cpp  ;)
[04:44] <blackness> you'll need dh_make dpkg-dev devhelper devscripts fakeroot lintan.
[04:44] <Seven_Six_Two> morphias, this isn't directly related to Ubunut, but a make file will make compiling your code infinitely easier when you get more than one file.
[04:44] <Seven_Six_Two> lol. Ubunut
[04:44] <morphias> lol
[04:45] <morphias> Seven_Six_Two, if you want we could talk in the devel channel.. just no one responded in there so i asked on here
[04:46] <blackness> morphias, did my post help you at all?
[04:46] <Seven_Six_Two> lol. ubunut.com forwards to ubuntu.com
[04:46] <morphias> blackness I am looking through it right now.
[04:46] <lotus2015> Hi, How can I see the right click menu "revert to previous version" of deja dup backup app?
[04:46] <blackness> Okay
[04:47] <almoxarife> Seven_Six_Two: your isp forwards
[04:47] <lotus2015> My system is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and the version of deja dup is 22
[04:47] <Seven_Six_Two> almoxarife, fair enough
[04:47] <lotus2015> Any idea with that?
[04:47] <Seven_Six_Two> almoxarife, if I used their dns
[04:47] <Mukhthar> quit
[04:48] <almoxarife> Seven_Six_Two: fair enough :)
[04:48] <Seven_Six_Two> Mukhthar, /part
[04:48] <blackness> why cant people setup proxies properly..i reject HEAD :x
[04:48] <Mukhthar> Seven_Six_Two : how to quit IRC ?
[04:49] <Seven_Six_Two> Mukhthar, I thought that's what you were doing
[04:49] <almoxarife> i click the thingy on the top of the gui
[04:50] <Seven_Six_Two> almoxarife, are you talking to me? who has time for "gui"
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> blackness: never had to use one personally. Simple times :)
[04:51] <almoxarife> any rekonq gurus? where does rekonq manage file extensions from?
[04:51] <blackness> Well, these improper proxies, are causing damage to my python http pastebin :(
[04:51] <almoxarife> Seven_Six_Two: did you know cli has a gui?
[04:51] <almoxarife> !cli-companion
[04:51] <blackness> !cookie
[04:52] <almoxarife> !clicompanion
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> !info cli-companion
[04:52] <Seven_Six_Two> almoxarife, pfft. I use 2 wires on tip of tongue to read binary directly. cli is for babies
[04:53] <almoxarife> Seven_Six_Two: :)
[04:53] <pahom> hi all

[04:56] <Seven_Six_Two> lotus2015, this isn't Bash
[04:56] <blackness> he quit :x
[04:56] <blackness> Seven_Six_Two, set a bind for "exit" so you can be faster..
[04:57] <Seven_Six_Two> blackness, like an autoresponder?
[04:57] <IdleOne> Take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:01] <SpecialEd> Hey guys, I currently have an openvz hosted VPS Ubuntu 12.04lts server x64 machine that I'd like to migrate to my other VirtualBox host.  Is there a way to migrate openvz to vbox?
[05:01] <Gyro54> After upgrading Xubuntu Thunderbird has lost all the default applications for attachments.
[05:01] <chuxxsss> http://pastebin.com/VfS4cDpe ActionParsnip  has just stopped.
[05:02] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, you could use dd to make images of the partitions, then use dd to restore them to new machine
[05:02] <Gyro54> How can I find each application in the files?
[05:02] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, you likely only need /home /var /etc
[05:02] <morphias> blackness, oh wow i think i got it to work man... thank you
[05:02] <SpecialEd> 762: OK I'l look into that then, i do need more than /home /var and /etc tho
[05:03] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, that should be fine, I just mean that you're probably better off starting from an install, and then restoring everything else.
[05:04] <SpecialEd> well its a complicated LAMP stack
[05:04] <SpecialEd> so to go back through all the various installation configurations could really be a bummer
[05:04] <SpecialEd> lol
[05:04] <SpecialEd> but dd sounds very attractive to me
[05:04] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, most of the config should be in /etc
[05:05] <SpecialEd> yeah should be the key word :)
[05:05] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, /etc/php5/apache2  /etc/apache2  /etc/mysql   --  your configs are spread around?
[05:06] <SpecialEd> theres css and configs for the CMS installed in /var/www and theres apachesolr and others
[05:07] <SpecialEd> actually clonezilla looks interesting
[05:07] <SpecialEd> I used to work for a data backup company where we did P2V conversions (windows to VirtualBox VM) every 5 minutes
[05:07] <Gyro54> I use Clonzilla and it works great
[05:07] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, Amanda is another good one. It depends on your specific needs, really
[05:07] <SpecialEd> which we stored in ubuntu hosts with zfs
[05:08] <SpecialEd> well i dont have gui, as long as i can do what i need from terminal then im all good:)
[05:08] <WeThePeople> i 'upgraded' to natty kernel now software wont install, is this common with a kernel upgrade?
[05:08] <SpecialEd> will clonezilla/amanda make a VDI or any type of hard drive image file?
[05:08] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, what "software"?
[05:09] <WeThePeople> gimp
[05:09] <SpecialEd> WeThePeople: Did you update the /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[05:09] <WeThePeople> and alot other
[05:09] <WeThePeople> no
[05:09] <SpecialEd> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[05:09] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, you need to update and upgrade
[05:09] <SpecialEd> Does that get errors?
[05:09] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, where did the kernel come from?
[05:09] <SpecialEd> like 762 said, run the command I gave above with root and u should be good to go
[05:12] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, reboot too.
[05:13] <VanessaE> so, how do I re-initialize the screen from a script?  I mean force the kernel or X or whatever to go through their normal startup/screen init routines?
[05:14] <WeThePeople> sevin_six_two, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1371795/
[05:14] <WeThePeople> seven_six_two, ^^^
[05:15] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:15] <Gyro54> SpecialEd: Clonezilla can save as a file and run from the terminal
[05:16] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:16] <rgenito> i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such?
[05:16] <WeThePeople> no dist-upgrade
[05:16] <WeThePeople> i dont like the new dist layout
[05:16] <WeThePeople> im on lucid
[05:16] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: Unless you want to restart X, you don't. What problem are you actually trying to solve?
[05:16] <SpecialEd> Gyro54: Thanks
[05:18] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, why would you be on lucid?
[05:18] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: When I resume from suspend, the screen is dead - black, no mouse - but the machine is alive and well.  I can ssh in, issue commands, the whole bit.  My only success thus far has been 'vbetool post', which wakes the screen up, gives me a slightly distorted mouse pointer which moves, and a completely garbled, flickering display.
[05:18] <Savage_CL> yes?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: Are you using open source or proprietary graphics drivers?
[05:18] <rgenito> WHAT! Seven_Six_Two ... you did NOT just answer my question before i asked...did you? @_@
[05:18] <rgenito> ;)
[05:18] <VanessaE> so I can turn the video back on with a command, but I can't figure out how to properly re-initialize it, so that I can just plug the appropriate commands into the power manager's setting.
[05:19] <WeThePeople> seven_six_two, i found a way to easily make my broadcom device work ie. upgrading to natty kernel
[05:19] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, are you trying to install from the old-releases.ubuntu.com server?
[05:19] <grendal> ok back to the problem from today.  Ntp in a kvm environment
[05:19] <VanessaE> I'm using the gallium3d driver, but this also happens with the old default radeon driver.  No proprietary on the affected machine.
[05:19] <grendal> this is making me crazy
[05:19] <rgenito> i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such?
[05:19] <grendal> er
[05:19] <SwedeMike> rgenito: with a network connection, yes.
[05:19] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: If you ctrl+alt+F1 (to get to a text console) is that also garbled?
[05:19] <Seven_Six_Two> rgenito, sudo upgrade-manager -d
[05:19] <rgenito> SwedeMike, sweet :)
[05:19] <WeThePeople> seven_six_two, no from soft center
[05:19] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: yes.
[05:20] <rgenito> SwedeMike, how so? as Seven_Six_Two says? sudo upgrade-manager -d ?
[05:20] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: Please file a bug report (if one hasn't been filed already).
[05:20] <VanessaE> the appearance changes from one console to another - the one on which X is running shows a garbled version of X's display.
[05:20] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: where?  against what package?
[05:20] <Seven_Six_Two> WeThePeople, but that is an EOL distro, so the update servers have changed.
[05:21] <SwedeMike> rgenito: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
[05:21] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: this sort of problem (dead screen on resume) has been reported by others across multiple video devices and system chipsets.  No one has come forward with a solution.
[05:21] <Seven_Six_Two> rgenito, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo update-manager -d
[05:21] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: so I am attempting to create a workaround that at least works on the affected laptop.
[05:22] <rgenito> SwedeMike, sweet! thanks :)
[05:22] <rgenito> and thank you as well Seven_Six_Two ! :)
[05:23] <Seven_Six_Two> rgenito, I didn't realize that there was a web walkthrough.
[05:24] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: a point of note:  If I disable KMS, I can suspend/resume without any issue at all - except then gallium3d gets disabled and I'm dropped back to VESA mode.
[05:24] <Savage_CL> quit HIGHLIGHTING me
[05:24] <Savage_CL> lol
[05:25] <VanessaE> Savage_CL: *random highlight*
[05:25] <VanessaE> ;)
[05:25] <rgenito> awww man, that web walkthrough sucks
[05:25] <Savage_CL> Nah, Jordan highlights me
[05:25] <rgenito> ....i dont get the same prompt >[
[05:25] <Savage_CL> now, can someone type something like Jordan_a
[05:25] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: It's a KMS driver, so the code is technically in kernel, so in that sense I would say against linux, but you'll probably get better debug info from "ubuntu-bug xorg" so do that instead.
[05:25] <rgenito> looks like i'll do Seven_Six_Two's method!
[05:25] <Savage_CL> I wish to test if I fixed it
[05:25] <VanessaE> ok.
[05:25] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: Thanks.
[05:26] <Savage_CL> Jordan_U can you say your own nick, for me?
[05:26] <moose-machine> hi. i am installing a game using the .sh extention using the terminal. the installer shows the default installation location as my home folder; however i don't want it to save it there? Do you have any idea where usually are games saved by default, when running a .deb package? is it in /etc or in /usr or /var? thanks.
[05:26] <Savage_CL> usually it's in /usr/
[05:26] <Savage_CL> but it depends on the package
[05:26] <superfake123> is there a ppa for chromium stable that is actually staying current?
[05:26] <VanessaE> I suggest /usr/local actually.
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Savage_CL: For testing things please join #test.
[05:27] <VanessaE> (I've always installed stuff to there if it didn't come from the repositories)
[05:27] <Savage_CL> All I need is for someone to say your nick again
[05:27] <VanessaE> Jordan_U: *jordan's nick*
[05:27] <VanessaE> there. :)
[05:27] <Savage_CL> that's not fun. that highlights me.
[05:27] <VanessaE> odd
[05:27] <Savage_CL> because you used my name
[05:28] <Savage_CL> (I am Jordan)
[05:28] <VanessaE> ah
[05:28] <moose-machine>  VanessaE: that's great. I noticed that /usrlocal/games has a previous installation. thanks a lot. I will save it there. :)
[05:28] <VanessaE> moose-machine: no promises :-)  I'm just used to using that path for non-default stuff.
[05:29] <moose-machine>  VanessaE: :)
[05:29] <scigod> when using lubuntu live cd, i logout and try to login again, but i  input a wrong user name, how can i go back to change user name?
[05:34] <Guest93357> What is the command to check connected socket in my system?
[05:34] <blackshirt> netstat -ntap
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> scigod: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can set password for the user there
[05:37] <blackshirt> why should bring down to console ....

[05:42] <|Nordom|> if a program is acting strangly how can u terminate it?
[05:42] <blackness> kill -SIGHUP |Nordom|
[05:42] <blackness> or -9
[05:42] <blackshirt> nordom, ctrl+c
[05:42] <superfake123> is there a ppa for chromium stable that is actually staying current?
[05:43] <|Nordom|> is there a command I can run in terminal?
[05:43] <blackness> google-chrome-stable superfake123 ?
[05:43] <blackness> |Nordom|, ps x, then kill -9 PIDHERE
[05:43] <|Nordom|> blackness: kill -programName?
[05:43] <blackness> no... -SIGHUP is signal hangup.
[05:43] <blackness> just use kill -9
[05:43] <superfake123> I don't want chrome, I want chromium D:
[05:44] <|Nordom|> okay I will try.. how ever its my IRC that is acting strange ;D
[05:44] <superfake123> for some reason chrome is very unstable with my audio/video. i get hickups and system freezes for like 1-2 seconds pretty often
[05:44] <superfake123> and I don't have that issue with chromium
[05:45] <Nordom> thx guys I got it to work!
[05:46] <blackshirt> greats

[05:53] <SpecialEd> Hey guys, I'm having a difficult time with Clonezilla.  Does anyone know of a "how-to" for making a raw disk image of a Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server from the command line?  I also should note that I do not have access to attach an ISO to the system so this must be run from the active server itself..
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> SpecialEd: you can use dd to make an image
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> SpecialEd: it won't be compressed
[05:54] <Seven_Six_Two> SpecialEd, that was my first suggestion to you. dd
[05:55] <xannen> hey, i have question re skype.
[05:55] <gustav__> Is se.archives.ubuntu.com not feeling well?
[05:56] <SpecialEd> ok thanks guys, i'll re look into dd again.  Since my new server has a lot more ram i'll actually be using clonezilla later for other operations, so nothing was lost on learning about it:) thanks again guys!

[06:03] <VanessaE> jeez, talk about a wall of text.  Perhaps I should try to be less verbose in the future :D
[06:03] <xannen> anyone know how to switch skype to single window mode?

[06:04] <xannen> okay...
[06:04] <miyako> anyone had any luck with the netflix-desktop / wine-silverlight thing?  I'm having some issues getting it setup and the information right now seems rather sparse
[06:05] <superfake123> ActionParsnip, the latest version is 24, 20. is at least 6 months old I think
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> superfake123: what is the difference between the versions?
[06:07] <wolfygang> Hey action when youre done helping him can you help me with my problem from earlier?
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> wolfygang: i'll try
[06:08] <superfake123> I don't really know. I've found this one that has version 25 https://launchpad.net/~a-v-shkop
[06:08] <wolfygang> its tha arm-eabi-gcc command not found
[06:08] <wolfygang> that**
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> superfake123: so why is the 20 version no good to you?
[06:10] <superfake123> I just need the latest for web testing. this ppa will do for now I guess

[06:14] <Jordan_U> VanessaE: It might also be interesting to see if you can reproduce the problem with Ubuntu 12.10, and with Fedora 18 (you should be able to test it from a LiveCD/USB rather than needing to install). I have a hunch that resuming properly will work in Fedora 18, and I'm curious to see if it does (though further fedora discussion should go to #fedora).
[06:14] <gustav__> "switched"
[06:14] <Akiva> dr_willis:
[06:15] <superfake123> ok thanks
[06:15] <SpecialEd> So I've been trying to use dd with the following command (in bold): dd if=/ of/tempdir/disk.iso but for some reason it doesn't write anything, do I need to dismount the OS to perform DD?
[06:15] <Jordan_U> tjmehta: No hard limit, though obviously you'll be limited by what your network can handle. Why do you ask?
[06:16] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:   what are you trying do use for the if? your command is toally messed up
[06:16] <jquip> Hallo, I have ubuntu 12.04 on a usb for installing it on a machine...  Thing is machine is UEFI enabled, while the usb only has grub in the boot folder....  I want to boot the machine using UEFI enabled...
[06:16] <jquip> Any help on that one??
[06:16] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1  (to make a clone)
[06:16] <SpecialEd> dr_willis: I am just trying to use dd to make a disk image of my VM's hard drive.  I do not have access to the host, just the guest
[06:16] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: The if argument needs to be a file or a block device, not a directory.
[06:16] <SpecialEd> its a vm so there isn't /dev/sda1
[06:16] <Akiva> dr_willis: ghanks ill give that a try
[06:17] <SpecialEd> ./dev/simfs      200G   34G  167G  17% /
[06:17] <dr_willis> SpecialEd: your use of / is wrong. You dont dd a path like that.
[06:17] <g00053> hello how do I manage lvm partitions ? I see gparted can't do it
[06:17] <SpecialEd> thats what i get from df -h
[06:17] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: And you should be *very* careful with dd, if you get something wrong you could whipe out all the data on your hard drive.
[06:17] <me2ersh> Hi All, Gnome shell is eating my processor, any ideas ?
[06:17] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  or to image to a file... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/somemountedpartiothatisnotsda1/file.image
[06:17] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: I understand it operates at the block level, but when I do /dev/simfs I get this (in bold): dd: opening `/dev/simfs': Operation not permitted
[06:18] <jquip> I have ubuntu 12.04 on a usb for installing it on a machine which is UEFI enabled, while the usb only has grub in the boot folder....  I want to boot the machine  enabled UEFI
[06:18] <me2ersh> Hi All, Gnome shell is eating my processor / I am using ubuntu 12.10, any ideas ?
[06:18] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  whats simfs?
[06:18] <SpecialEd> dr_willis: As previously stated this is a VM without access to the host therefore I can't add other media
[06:18] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: What is the output of "lsb_release -d"?
[06:18] <SilvereX> me2ersh, stick your finger down its throat and make it regurgitate it
[06:18] <SpecialEd> Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[06:18] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  where are you putting the image at then?
[06:18] <tjmehta> Jordan_U : building a service create live (editable) server-side code examples in the browser, right now the server holds ssh connections with all of the sandboxes hosting code
[06:18] <me2ersh> SilvereX, when i print the usage, it says 350% !
[06:19] <SpecialEd> dr_willis: to my new hosted dedicated server where I can have better control
[06:19] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: Please pastebin the output of "mount".
[06:19] <SpecialEd> ./dev/simfs      200G   34G  167G  17% /
[06:19] <SpecialEd> thats the only line that matters on mount command, the rest is normal /dev /run /run/lock and /run/shm
[06:19] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  so you need to dd through a sshtunle/pipe to a different machine?
[06:20] <dr_willis> ive never heard of a simfs so no idea on that.
[06:20] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: Please follow my directions, I'd like to see the complete output of the command "mount", no more, less, or different.
[06:20] <SpecialEd> dr_willis: if i can have it write the dd to the same disk no, if i can't then yes i'll rsync through ssh tunnel
[06:20] <SilvereX> me2ersh, try killing the gdl_box process
[06:20] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: And please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com .
[06:20] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: Sure thing, it won't be any different than what I just told you though :)
[06:20] <SilvereX> And remove the gdl package as it's not supported
[06:20] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  that would be recursive.. and you dont want to image a filesystem thats getting written to
[06:21] <SpecialEd> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371853/
[06:21] <dr_willis> SpecialEd:  a different partion/filesystem on the disk may work
[06:21] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: Please follow my instructions exactly. I asked you for the output of "mount".
[06:21] <SpecialEd> dr_willis: I agree but Windows does it all the time with Shadow Copies...
[06:22] <dr_willis> this isent windows.. and dd is a very low level tool.
[06:22] <dr_willis> filezilla perhaps could do it
[06:22] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: my bad, here ya go: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371855/
[06:22] <SpecialEd> dd works at the same level as windows shadow copies, block level
[06:22] <dr_willis> dd also dosent trim out empty space either.. a 100gb hd will make a 100gb image.. even if its 1% used
[06:23] <SpecialEd> but its either here nor there and windows is crap, ecspecially windows 8
[06:24] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: You have a very odd configuration because this is a hosted container, not a default Ubuntu install.
[06:25] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: yeah, as soon as I am done with this I'm gonna kiss that host good-bye
[06:25] <SilvereX> Hey guys, I'm trying to play TF2 on steam for linux, but I get an error that I need to update openGL
[06:25] <SilvereX> I've tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but it didn't help
[06:26] <me2ersh> SilvereX, did that, nothing changed. I also have a blinking cursor on the screen, like there is an invisible terminal. may be this is the reason ?
[06:27] <qtip> me2ersh: does it look like this: http://i.imgur.com/xUMKv.jpg ??
[06:27] <rawfodog> I'm using the SHARED CONNECTION setting in network manager. Im sucking in wifi to computer a, and sharing it to another computer via the eth0 port. This works with my laptop running fedora, but when I plug it into other devices it doesn't work. I was curious if this is distro/windows manager specific or not. The other machine is yellow dog linux on an old mac g4.
[06:27] <SilvereX> me2ershm are you using mutter, compiz or metacity?
[06:27] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: There is no real block device associated with symfs, it just maps files in your container to files in the host's filesystem. To do a block level copy you'd need to be able to access the host's hard drive (which also contains the files for all of the other containers on that machine).
[06:29] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: In other words, dd is not an option for you.
[06:29] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: OK that makes more sense to me now, I'm not familiar with SimFS.  Basically I'm trying to move files from a OpenVZ VPS system to my dedicated server where I have created a Guest VirtualBox VM  (All machines are Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server x64).  Should I just rsync / to / ?
[06:29] <dr_willis> sounds like a job for TAR!
[06:29] <SpecialEd> just like a V2V conversion
[06:30] <SpecialEd> or maybe scp / to / ?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: You can do that, just know that there are probably a lot of configuration files that contain settings specific to OpenVZ containers, since that's what the system you're using now is.
[06:31] <SpecialEd> think I should try asking my hosting company if they can create an ISO of the OpenVZ server for me?
[06:31] <SpecialEd> i mean
[06:31] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: rsync is the way to go, if you really want to copy everything. Though after the rsync your new "copied" system will probably fail to boot until you remove the OpenVZ specific stuffs.
[06:31] <SpecialEd> not hte openvz server, but my guest but have them create is for me from their server
[06:32] <SpecialEd> wow
[06:32] <SpecialEd> just ignore the last 2 things i typed, makes no sense, let me repeat
[06:32] <SpecialEd> sorry
[06:32] <me2ersh> SilvereX, no, i am getting you a video of it now
[06:33] <Jordan_U> jquip: How did you put 12.04 on the USB?
[06:33] <SpecialEd> Jordan_U: Could I ask my hosting company to go onto their OpenVZ server and create a raw disk image of my VPS server for me?
[06:33] <blackshirt> specialed, lxc was great and in kernel solutions
[06:33] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: There is no raw disk to image, your container is just a collection of files in a directory.
[06:34] <SpecialEd> ahhh, so its really a pseudo vm then
[06:34] <Jordan_U> SpecialEd: Exactly.
[06:34] <me2ersh> SilvereX, check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y70BIb3BuJI this is what I see. this blinking thing is always there
[06:34] <dr_willis> Pesudo Virtual ;)
[06:34] <SpecialEd> closer to a type 1 hypervisor but guests are shared
[06:35] <SpecialEd> wow, I really hate my old hosting company now, why would they use OpenVZ when there are FAR better solutions for selling VPS such as VirtualBox?
[06:35] <qtip> me2ersh: I have that sometimes; it goes away if I reboot
[06:35] <SilvereX> me2ersh, Yeah, I was just about to suggest rebooting
[06:35] <blackshirt> far better ? Not always
[06:36] <me2ersh> qtip, SilvereX I rebooted many times, it never goes, and since it appeared, gnome-shell is eating the processor
[06:36] <SpecialEd> why not use vbox then?
[06:36] <qtip> me2ersh: wow, mine went away
[06:36] <qtip> try ctrl+alt+f1
[06:37] <blackshirt> specialed, there are some benefit on lightweight / para virtualisation like openvz or lxc compared to vbox or similar
[06:37] <qtip> and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back
[06:37] <qtip> that's the console that is showing up on mine
[06:37] <qtip> mine was the login prompt
[06:37] <the_dark_knight> Hi, I have one question. When I do sudo apachectl restart , it gives me error saying "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName

[06:38] <blackshirt> the_dark_knight, thats not a error

[06:38] <Bustacap> Hey, will I be able to completely replace all of fedora by booting into ubuntu using unetbootin?
[06:38] <Bustacap> I'm out of blank dvd's :/
[06:39] <Jordan_U> Bustacap: Yes.
[06:39] <me2ersh> exit
[06:39] <the_dark_knight> blackshirt: so what is the problem?
[06:39] <blackshirt> just a warning
[06:39] <qtip> the_dark_knight: you're binding to the wrong ip probably
[06:39] <blackshirt> Check if your apache was started
[06:40] <Jordan_U> jquip: If you're still trying to boot via UEFI tomorrow I can help you then.
[06:40] <Bustacap> jordan, but using unetbootin adds it onto a section of the hard drive. How can I format the hard drive if I'm running the os off of it? Or does it boot it into the ram from the files on the hard drive?
[06:40] <jquip> Jordan_U: aww shucks thanks...
[06:40] <Savage_CL> bustacap you've been on Swift
[06:40] <Savage_CL> don't use unetbootin
[06:41] <the_dark_knight> qtip: I have <IP_ADDRESS> in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. but then why does it say <IP_ADDRESS> in the warning.
[06:41] <Bustacap> Savage_CL, ?
[06:41] <Savage_CL> shrink your current partition (with a gparted live cd)
[06:41] <the_dark_knight> qtip: no I didn't try <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:41] <Savage_CL> create a new one
[06:41] <Savage_CL> done
[06:41] <Bustacap> I don't have anymore blank cd's or dvd's or a flash drive lol
[06:41] <jquip> I just have to get this done right now!! Boss told me to install it : Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download
[06:42] <Bustacap> What would be the problem with unetbootin?
[06:42] <jquip> Jordan_U: that links seems okay???
[06:42] <Savage_CL> nothing
[06:43] <Bustacap> Does unetbootin boot the files into ram?
[06:43] <jquip> Jordan_U:  Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download   .. . The guy behind it: Yannubuntu, he's the one who filed the bug report that UEFI booting doesnt work well with 32 bit ubuntu images
[06:43] <qtip> me2ersh: any luck?
[06:44] <me2ersh> SilvereX, qtip rebooting and switching to a previous kernel fixed it
[06:44] <Seven_Six_Two> Bustacap, it puts an iso on to usb for later booting
[06:44] <Bustacap> Seven_Six_Two, there is a hard drive mode
[06:45] <the_dark_knight> qtip: nslookup gave some output.
[06:45] <me2ersh> SilvereX, qtip  thanks for ur time :)
[06:45] <Seven_Six_Two> Bustacap, what's harddrive mode?
[06:45] <SilvereX> me2ersh, No worries mang
[06:45] <Bustacap> Seven_Six_Two, it's a mode of unetbootin to boot an iso from a hard drive if you don't have a usb drive..
[06:46] <dr_willis> Bustacap:  grub2 can do that - if you set it up right. :)
[06:46] <SilvereX> Whenever I try to launch TF2 from the steam linux beta client it says "Required OpenGL extension "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode" is not supported. Please update your OpenGL driver.
[06:46] <SilvereX> How would I go about doing that?
[06:46] <dr_willis> but if you try to partion the hd the iso is on.. well.. that may get tricky
[06:46] <the_dark_knight> qtip: http://www.bpaste.net/raw/RRbQIMlBvVkheg3gS1k4/
[06:46] <jquip> Jordan_U :  So I'm guessing he created the boot with UEFI successfully... 64-bit was recommended but ..my machine is 32-bit.. so i'mma  try the 32, then the 64 bit image from the same site...  Good idea???
[06:46] <Bustacap> Ok, well I'm trying to get ubutu installed and replace fedora without a blank cd, dvd, or usb,
[06:47] <dr_willis> Bustacap:  do you have a seperate /boot/ partition?
[06:47] <Bustacap> And I'm impatient, and like a challenge :P
[06:47] <Seven_Six_Two> SilvereX, you need a new video driver. If your driver was automatically installed, it is likely not supported yet.
[06:47] <Bustacap> dr_willis, nope.
[06:47] <Bustacap> I don't think so.,
[06:47] <dr_willis> Bustacap:  or any extra partions that are ext2/3/4 and not in a lvm or any other weirdness. ;)
[06:47] <Seven_Six_Two> SilvereX, the option is likely not supported yet. Linux drivers are quite a bit behind the Windows ones. ATI and NV aren't super helpful.
[06:47] <SilvereX> Seven_Six_Two, I tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but they're notorious for being broken
[06:48] <dr_willis> Bustacap:  if so.. you could set up grub2 on Freora to boot the iso file.
[06:48] <Bustacap> dr_willis, my only parition is fedora
[06:48] <dr_willis> Bustacap:  you could resize it i guess...
[06:48] <Bustacap> I'd still need a live cd of some sort for that
[06:48] <vas01> Hey Everyone,
[06:48] <vas01> I am currently conducting an internet usage survey for one of my university courses.
[06:48] <vas01> Can you please take a few minutes of your valuable time to complete the survey bellow.
[06:48] <vas01> https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WCST6XN
[06:48] <vas01> The results will be posted once the data has been gathered and analysed.
[06:48] <FloodBot1> vas01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:48] <vas01> Best Regards,
[06:48] <Bustacap> Eh unless I unetbootin gparted live
[06:49] <Bustacap> Then shrink
[06:49] <dr_willis> i thought fedora used lvm or somthing by default. ;)  but i dont use it.. I have set up grub2 on ubuntu to boot an iso file from a differnt disk/partition and was able to install from ISO  to the rest of the hd that way.
[06:49] <RamchandraApte> vas01: please use #ubuntu-discuss so discuss about ubuntu
[06:49] <RamchandraApte> vas01: this is for support
[06:50] <vas01> RamchandraApte: sorry
[06:51] <vas01> RamchandraApte: do you know the best way of spreading my survey would be (specifically to students or life long learners)?
[06:52] <RamchandraApte> vas01: also, I don't have internet "sessions"
[06:54] <dr_willis> hmm., Now why would when i start up XBMC it turns off twinview/xinerama fullscreens on my 2nd monitor thats not set to be the primary monitor.. then when i close xbmc it dosent restore the settings...
[06:57] <amit> How to close a socket connection
[06:57] <dr_willis> night all
[06:59]  * sean_ that awkward moment at the gym when muscle guy thinks IRC is a new supplement
[07:05] <himcesjf> Hi! Is there any channel for support specific to VNC/x11vnc on Ubuntu
[07:06] <kvothetech> himcesjf: what's wrong with your vnc
[07:06] <himcesjf> I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured DM for kdm over lightdm and here are the working, failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?
[07:09] <jakepetroules> how can i fix the cause of the lintian error "control-file-has-bad-permissions" with an existing deb file
[07:14] <DarwinSurvivor> I'm trying to get Ubuntu going on a desktop machine with a Radeon 3200 and Radeon 3850 graphics cards and had to set nomodeset to get it to boot
[07:15] <DarwinSurvivor> oh, hold on, just found the right wiki page
[07:17] <grendal> i cannot for the live of me get an ntp server workint
[07:17] <grendal> what the hell is the trick to this
[07:17] <himcesjf> kvothetech:  ?
[07:19] <almoxarife> grendal: its installed yes ? and the service started ?
[07:19] <grendal> ya
[07:20] <almoxarife> grendal: where does it get time?
[07:20] <grendal> this is a kvm host. i have a vlan with vms running on  <IP_ADDRESS> subnet
[07:20] <grendal> umm the server gets the time accurately
[07:20] <grendal> i cant seem to connect the guest machines to read the servers time.
[07:20] <raj> how do I change a user's password via the terminal?
[07:20] <grendal> passwd username
[07:21] <raj> passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[07:21] <almoxarife> grendal: cant connect ? can you ping the ntpd? ip/port?
[07:21] <grendal> did you put in the username
[07:21] <raj> passwd: password unchanged
[07:21] <raj> yes
[07:21] <grendal> does the user exist
[07:21] <raj> is the problem that I'm that usernmae now?
[07:21] <raj> or do I need sudo?
[07:22] <grendal> ya you will probably need to be sudo
[07:22] <grendal> sudo -s
[07:22] <grendal> then password for the user you are..then passwd username
[07:22] <raj> yes, that was it
[07:22] <raj> thanks
[07:22] <grendal> np
[07:22] <raj> what's sudo -s?
[07:22] <grendal> sticky
[07:22] <raj> I didn't do that
[07:22] <grendal> it stays there so you dont have to type in sudo with every command
[07:22] <raj> meaning don't go away until I unsudo?
[07:22] <grendal> it makes you root
[07:23] <grendal> fknaright
[07:23] <raj> k
[07:23] <raj> thanks
[07:23] <grendal> np
[07:23] <grendal> almoxarife, ok so ya i can ping it...the host is bridged to the..network via ip <IP_ADDRESS>...hey i got an idea
[07:24] <grendal> you ever used teamviewer?
[07:26] <wanksta> hi
[07:27] <grendal> almoxarife, dude
[07:27] <DarwinSurvivor> Ok, I've tried the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI with no luck (aticonfig returns "No supported adapters detected")
[07:28] <almoxarife> grendal: yes?
[07:28] <DarwinSurvivor> the 2 graphics cards are Radeon HD 3200 and Radeon HD3850
[07:28] <grendal> you get my chat request?
[07:28] <grendal> private?
[07:28] <almoxarife> grendal: i dont get those, ignore all
[07:29] <grendal> oh..damn well i was going to give you conference screen so you could see the screen here.
[07:29] <almoxarife> grendal: did you have a question?
[07:29] <grendal> yep...this ntp thing is going to kill me
[07:29] <grendal> its up its running
[07:30] <grendal> but i canot connect to it with my guest machines
[07:30] <jacta> How can I explode this url best way: http://test.com/cykler/herre/avenue/ - explode gives me 0 and 4 blank - i want only the one after .com/  and it can be five, two, or more
[07:30] <jakepetroules> found my answer; just needed fakeroot
[07:30] <almoxarife> grendal: network issue? pinged it?
[07:30] <grendal> i can ping the server, i can ssh to it, i can...do all kinda of thangs with the sever..but cant seem to get ntp from it
[07:31] <almoxarife> grendal: the npt client pointing to the correct ip/port?
[07:31] <grendal> <IP_ADDRESS>:123
[07:32] <almoxarife> grendal: that means nothing to me, lets see the conf for the client and the deamon
[07:32] <Jordan_U> jquip: It's *very* rare to find 32 bit UEFI hardware, are you sure that's what you have?
[07:33] <grendal> i can ntpstrace it
[07:33] <grendal> <IP_ADDRESS>: stratum 16, offset 0.000000, synch distance 0.000000
[07:33] <grendal> but, it does not sync to the same time
[07:34] <Jordan_U> jquip: How did you put 12.04 on the USB?
[07:34] <jquip> izzit?? lolz.. dear me.. :) yep.. dat's what the windows system sayeth
[07:35] <almoxarife> grendal: lets see the conf for the client and the deamon, pastebin them
[07:35] <jquip> usb-creator-gtk ?
[07:35] <almoxarife> daemon too
[07:35] <jquip> Jordan_U: usb-creator-gtk ...
[07:36] <Jordan_U> jquip: That doesn't prepare USB drives to be booted via UEFI (or didn't last time I looked).
[07:36] <jquip> Jordan_U : erm.. Not a good idea??
[07:36] <DarwinSurvivor> I don't really need the 3200 working (though I need it to not prevent the machine from booting without nomodeset) both monitors are connected to the 3850
[07:37] <jquip> Jordan_U: uhoh.. okay.. just read your message..
[07:37] <Jordan_U> jquip: Why do you think that you have a 32 bit machine with UEFI firmware?
[07:38] <jquip> ahahha  :D  Well the Windows 7 is on it.. says its 32-bit...   Boot screen-> American Megatrends-> Boot Compliance: UEFI 2. something
[07:39] <jquip> s/the//
[07:39] <almoxarife> grendal: look at the ntp log too for anything abbynormal
[07:39] <jquip> s/the//g
[07:39] <grendal> ya ive been doing that all night
[07:39] <grendal> but there is just a statistics log
[07:39] <grendal> damon log says nothing about it
[07:40] <grendal> getting past together
[07:40] <Jordan_U> jquip: It may be a 32 bit Windows installation, but you probably have a 64 bit CPU and 64 bit UEFI firmware.
[07:40] <jquip> but but.. its windows???
[07:40] <jquip> how would it be so smart to allow that??
[07:41] <Jordan_U> jquip: What is the model of the computer you're using?
[07:41] <jquip> Jordan_U : erm... 32-bit I still think -> Atom CPU
[07:42] <almoxarife> jquip: i bought a lappy with 32bit win, then i found out i had a 64bit machine by accident
[07:42] <jquip> almoxarife: hoo boy ain't you lucky!!
[07:43] <jquip> okay... so there's good reason to check with 64-bit linux  instead..
[07:43] <grendal> almox
[07:43] <grendal> almoxarife, http://pastebin.com/SHHj3XUi
[07:43] <Jordan_U> jquip: There are 64 bit Atom CPUs, but yest that does make it seem more likely to be 32 bit while still having UEFI. I really do need to leave now though. If you're lucky then you have a 64 bit machine, and the easiest thing to do is th burn the standard 64 bit Ubuntu iso to a CD/DVD and boot from that (note those were very specific instructions, and every part of them is important).
[07:44] <jquip> Valid point ! Jordan_U take care eh! Thanks!  You win!!
[07:51] <jquip> And I winnnnn too! :D
[07:52] <almoxarife> jquip: what it may not do is 'virtualize' , dont ask me, mine does not, something to do with having half a 64bit, the cpu is but the mother board is not, or perhaps you got the full monty'
[07:52] <himcesjf> I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured DM for kdm over lightdm. x11vnc fails to start on the host system. Here are the past working and current failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?
[07:52] <jquip> oh... darn.. like that eh?
[07:53] <almoxarife> jquip: hell with the 32bit install, start over with the 64, its worth it, faster
[07:53] <jquip> almoxarife: haha yeahhh okay :D
[07:54] <elsifaka> hey people!
[07:54] <jquip> downloading rite away sah..
[07:55] <elsifaka> does anyone knows where the HP proliant softwares for precise are?
[07:55] <almoxarife> jquip: Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)	No , yeap, you in the same boat, just dont expect to run virtual machines in their full glory, other than that i dont see any diff
[07:57] <grendal> almoxarife,  sorry got bounced
[07:58] <grendal> so i got two machine (both kvm hosts) on two diff networks.  machine A keeps getting faster
[07:58] <jquip> almoxarife: hrmm... okay..so.. it should be fine... i dont run VM's much... but 64-bit is the way to go then I guess?
[07:58] <grendal> config files are identical
[07:58] <grendal> 64 bit vms are the bomb
[07:59] <almoxarife> jquip: it will run virtualbox just fine, it wont be able to use the (VT-x) option, small price to pay
[07:59] <grendal> vt-x ? hardware hooks?
[08:00] <almoxarife> jquip: in virtual you will need to stick with 32bit os's
[08:01] <jquip> oh that's okayyy... not a biggie...
[08:01] <DarwinSurvivor> ok, so apparently the graphics card is 100% not supported any more. Does anyone know how to turn on nomodeset by default?
[08:01] <grendal> nope. but i do have a lot of really good shortbread cookies my daughter made
[08:01] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: set it in the kernel line of /etc/default/grub
[08:01] <jquip> almoxarife : just tried the 32 bit image.. 64-bit downloading now... just booted straight into windows...
[08:01] <grendal> anyone want one?
[08:01] <jquip> :(
[08:02] <almoxarife> jquip: you talking about a live-cd?
[08:02] <grendal> jquip, why would you do that..windows will give you psyphilus
[08:03] <grendal> at least thats what i heard
[08:03] <almoxarife> !ot | grendal
[08:03] <grendal> im sorry
[08:03] <jquip> almoxarife: ermmm... a live-usb created via usb-creator-gtk ... wrong??   grendal: lolz you dun gone crazy!
[08:03] <grendal> i sorry
[08:04] <almoxarife> jquip: did you setup the machine to boot from usb?
[08:04] <jquip> yes yes
[08:04] <grendal> what are you trying to do exactly..(i missed that part selfish me) i run vm's on several diff types of hosts.
[08:05] <pradeep> how can i have only one work space
[08:05] <DarwinSurvivor> almoxarife: the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" line?
[08:05] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: exactly
[08:05] <pradeep> i want to remove workspace switcher too
[08:05] <jquip> grendal: Just trying to get linux on this netbook that i have..
[08:05] <grendal> o
[08:05] <grendal> i thought you were having a problem with virutalization
[08:06] <DarwinSurvivor> almoxarife: thanks. one that thing, how do I change which boot option (ex: ubuntu vs other-os) is the default?
[08:06] <jquip> almoxarife: aha ! ubuntu is booting
[08:06] <DarwinSurvivor> almoxarife: I see GRUB_DEFAULT=0, but no indication of which id is for which OS
[08:06] <grendal> grrrr... almoxarife you look at those pastbins?
[08:06] <jquip> sorry my bad
[08:07] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: count down, find the line that would be the other, which is it?
[08:07] <grendal> its ok.. jquip we forgive you...this time.
[08:07] <jquip> there are two boot priority settings in boot and I needed to select both of 'em
[08:07] <jquip> weird.. that was
[08:07] <DarwinSurvivor> almoxarife: won't that change if/when new kernels are added?
[08:08] <grendal> salright this time. but next time ..oh there will be consequences
[08:08] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: or pastebin your /etc/default/grub file
[08:08] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: not with new kernels, unless you mean new installed os's
[08:08] <DarwinSurvivor> almoxarife: ok, I think it was the 3rd one, will have to reboot to verify
[08:09] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: if its the third then the choice is actually numeral (2), it counts from zero
[08:10] <DarwinSurvivor> hmm, just rebooted and it's the 5th, so that would be id 4. ok
[08:10] <almoxarife> DarwinSurvivor: exactly
[08:10] <puppy_parade> why is compiz eating 90% of my CPU while trying to watch a video and failing?
