[00:01] <usr13> aeiaya: then do sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:02] <usr13> aeiaya: Come back and we will help.
[00:02] <Garrett93> So, ubuntu has booted, Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu?
[00:02] <Jagst3r15> anyone know whats up, my resoltuion just crapped out on me. its at like 640 by 480 and unity 3d isnt working
[00:03] <usr13> Jagst3r15:  Do you have any clue as to what may have caused it?
[00:03] <Jagst3r15> i can't even select a different resoliton
[00:03] <WaffleScratch> Can I replace my windows server with Active Directory with a linux server? its only a file server too
[00:03] <romy420> Garrett93 ... install
[00:03] <Jagst3r15> alot of things usr13
[00:03] <Garrett93> install to access this gparted thing?
[00:03] <Jagst3r15> ive been playing around with bumblebee and my graphics
[00:03] <usr13> Jagst3r15: Can you list them?
[00:03] <Jagst3r15> but
[00:03] <christopherbull> beandog: it's still prompting this user for a password with sudo
[00:03] <romy420> yes
[00:03] <Jagst3r15> I think the issue was with desura
[00:04] <Jagst3r15> I installed desura and then I kept getting these errors
[00:04] <Jagst3r15> then unity died and i logged out
[00:04] <beandog> christopherbull: hmm, maybe that's not right then.  -_-  just man sudo, it's in there somewhere :)
[00:04] <Jagst3r15> then logged in and then my resoltuion is at 604 by 480
[00:04] <usr13> Jagst3r15: errors ___________ ?
[00:04] <ceege> yes, waffleScratch. Samba can do AD
[00:04] <christopherbull> beandog: sweet :D
[00:04] <Jagst3r15> usr13 im sorry i don't remember a specific error
[00:05] <Garrett93> I assume "something else"
[00:05] <Jagst3r15> can't I reset unity or something?
[00:05] <usr13> Jagst3r15: I'm sorry, I don't have any specific advise  :)
[00:05] <beandog> christopherbull: you're probably better off googling sudo examples
[00:05] <WaffleScratch> yay ii'm going to look into this to save all the monies :D
[00:05] <MonkeyDust> Jagst3r15  try unity --reset
[00:05] <christopherbull> beandog: ah I think it takes a group name, not a username perhaps

[00:07] <Garrett93> i'm onto the installation type window, I do see the existing partition layout, including the 200gb free space, this is where I've gotten by myself and managed to destroy windows both times
[00:07] <Garrett93> on the free space bit, my options are add... and revert
[00:08] <MonkeyDust> Garrett93  in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here
[00:09] <Jagst3r15_> monkeydust I reset it, then it said compiz has failed or something

[00:11] <Zeerover_the_gre> Hello
[00:12] <Zeerover_the_gre> I am 12 years old and I'm trying linux for the first time. Is there anything i should know?
[00:12] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: Lots! :)
[00:12] <Zeerover_the_gre> Linux Distrobution: Pinguy 11.04 (Based off of Ubuntu 11.4) i just installed some updates
[00:12] <Garrett93> MonkeyDust, it says pastebinit is not currently installed
[00:13] <Zeerover_the_gre> usr13 like how much?
[00:13] <MonkeyDust> Garrett93  simply type sudo apt-get install pastebin
[00:13] <Nightray> Hello there!
[00:13] <MonkeyDust> Zeerover_the_gre  pinguy is not supported here
[00:13] <Zeerover_the_gre> Just ubuntu?
[00:14] <Nightray> I have noobish question about installation an ubuntu OS on my new computer
[00:14] <Nightray> anyone who wants to help?
[00:14] <Zeerover_the_gre> But Pinguy is based off of ubuntu so much that if i looked at the Kernal its all Debian and Ubuntu codes
[00:14] <Zeerover_the_gre> Ask away nightray
[00:15] <Zeerover_the_gre> Nightray, whats the question?
[00:15] <Garrett93> I did a sudo apt-get install pastebinvand it says " E: unable to locate package pastebin "
[00:15] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: We suggest you install Ubuntu.
[00:15] <Jagst3r15_> I think I have to reinstall ubuntu, crap
[00:15] <Nightray> I just bought a new computer with 1TB HDD and 90GB SSD. SSD i all on Windows (games etc.. sorry ;p) but I have to make some partitions for Linux and I don't know what partitions I need and with what sizes
[00:16] <MonkeyDust> Jagst3r15_  run it off a live cd or usb
[00:16] <Garrett93> Nightray, welcome to the club
[00:16] <glitsj16> Garrett93: the package is called 'pastebinit'
[00:16] <usr13> Jagst3r15: grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit #And send us resulting URL.
[00:16] <Garrett93> Same error for pastebinit
[00:16] <usr13> Jagst3r15_: We can help if you give us some information.....
[00:17] <Nightray> I want to give 250 GB from that 1TB for linux
[00:17] <Zeerover_the_gre> thats a good idea
[00:17] <Jagst3r15_> brb i cant even open the terminal
[00:17] <Zeerover_the_gre> i only have 75gb for Pinguy (a Linux distro based off of Ubuntu)
[00:18] <glitsj16> Garrett93: you might need to refresh your package manager .. sudo apt-get update .. and try again when that finishes
[00:18] <Zeerover_the_gre> How do i look at my Kernel?
[00:18] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: uname -r
[00:18] <romy420> Garrett93, u just booted from cd and then choose 'install'. is this right?
[00:19] <Zeerover_the_gre> my name was suppost to be Zeerover the great 12 yr old linux user
[00:19] <Zeerover_the_gre> but it didnt fit
[00:19] <Zeerover_the_gre> sudo apt-get is my favorite tool on linux
[00:19] <Garrett93> Romy, yes, i have done so several times, and destroyed a windows partition twice after the run along side windows part didn't work
[00:21] <romy420> how exactly did it not work?
[00:21] <Nightray> basicly, if I have an 8GB ram do I need swap?
[00:21] <Garrett93> Glits, after running the sudo update, and trying install pastebinit again, i still get the "unable to locate package pastebinit" error
[00:22] <Miguelito> If anyone has Virtualbox knowledge and would like to help would you msg me - I dont want to sidetrack the channel
[00:22] <romy420> also, if you are in that installation environment ... apt will probably not work here
[00:22] <Garrett93> Romy, after clicking the run along side windows, it appeared to run scripts for about 30 seconds, then it produced a message that said "remove boot media and press enter (or something similar)" and when I hit enter it turned off the computer
[00:23] <Garrett93> Upon turning back on the computer there was no sign of ubuntu, windows booted as it normally would
[00:23] <Zeerover_the_gre> I just got pidgin and now im installing Gfire
[00:23] <Zeerover_the_gre> and this is my first day
[00:23] <Garrett93> after that I started to play with partitions, and screwed everything up
[00:24] <romy420> Garrett, that's strange ... then u could manually partition
[00:24] <Garrett93> Yes, manually partition, that's what i'd like to do
[00:25] <Garrett93> should i hit Install Ubuntu again to get back to that step
[00:25] <romy420> yes
[00:26] <Skyland_Hacker> can i ask her.??
[00:26] <Miguelito> Whats your question Skyland_Hacker
[00:26] <Garrett93> Okay, on the screen with the three options, install ubuntu along side windows 7, replace windows 7 with ubuntu (no), and something else
[00:27] <Zeerover_the_gre> I love linux
[00:27] <romy420> Specify partitions manually
[00:27] <Zeerover_the_gre> and ive only been using it for 1 day as i said
[00:27] <Garrett93> should i try the along side option again, or something else
[00:27] <Garrett93> that'd be something else, right
[00:28] <bazhang> !ot | Zeerover_the_gre
[00:28] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:28] <Zeerover_the_gre> Thanks usr13
[00:28] <romy420> Garrett93, which ubuntu version do u have there? is this 12.04?
[00:28] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: NP
[00:28] <Garrett93> Yes 12.04
[00:28] <Zeerover_the_gre> how do i go to it though
[00:28] <Zeerover_the_gre> i just started as i said
[00:28] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:29] <romy420> ok ... then it's 'something else' yes
[00:29] <Skyland_Hacker> can i ask.?
[00:29] <usr13> yes
[00:29] <romy420> now u hsould see your partition table and some part of it marked as free or something like that
[00:29] <Garrett93> Okay, on the installation type menu, there is the 200 gig free space option
[00:30] <usr13> Skyland_Hacker: If it is a question about Ubuntu, yes.
[00:30] <romy420> yeah, activate that and then (from memory) it's 'add' or so

[00:31] <Skyland_Hacker> How to install ubuntu with windows
[00:31] <Zeerover_the_gre> alright usr13 thanks for the help i can now go in and out of Ubuntu offtopic
[00:32] <Garrett93> yes, add, provides the options, Type for new partition, Primary or logical, partition size in MB, location for new partition (beginning or end), use as (format), and mount point (options)
[00:32] <usr13> Skyland_Hacker: Just start the install and it will offer options that will provide for a DualBoot system.
[00:32] <Skyland_Hacker> oh, like that
[00:32] <Skyland_Hacker> can i see the picture how to install ubuntu with windows.?
[00:33] <romy420> here's that logical partition thing so choose that and set the size so that around your amount of ram is left free
[00:33] <usr13> Skyland_Hacker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[00:33] <Skyland_Hacker> ohhh
[00:33] <Skyland_Hacker> For offtopic join #Deface-Zone
[00:33] <romy420> format to 'ext4' and mount point '/'
[00:34] <bazhang> Skyland_Hacker, dont advertise here
[00:34] <Skyland_Hacker> ok sorry
[00:34] <Skyland_Hacker> Anyone have a video for install ubuntu with windows.?
[00:34] <usr13> no
[00:34] <romy420> usr13, automatic dual boot configuration crashed
[00:34] <bazhang> Skyland_Hacker, youtube.com
[00:35] <romy420> forget that :)
[00:35] <Skyland_Hacker> can you help me with teamviewer.?
[00:36] <Garrett93> okie, so I have the first partition made, logical, 215gb, (with 8gb left free space), ext4 and mount point /
[00:37] <Skyland_Hacker> i dont understand about that
[00:37] <romy420> ok ... select the rest -> add -> make it as type 'swap'
[00:37] <romy420> nomount point
[00:37] <Skyland_Hacker> I just understand drive C: D: E:
[00:37] <Skyland_Hacker> no about ext sda
[00:37] <bazhang> !ot | Skyland_Hacker
[00:37] <Garrett93> Romy, done
[00:38] <romy420> Skyland_Hacker then u are no hacker :P
[00:38] <Skyland_Hacker> im hacker from skylandhacker.net
[00:38] <usr13> Skyland_Hacker: So you need to expand your understanding to include sda1 sda2 sda3 etc...

[00:39] <brophat> I am upgrading to 12.04 using the alternate CD, and I chose not to use the internet during the upgrade but it is getting 2036 files frm the internet anyway
[00:39] <Zeerover_the_gre> usr13 is there any aplications i should install to help me (as a beginner) to understand linux more
[00:39] <Garrett93> Romy, next should I hit install now
[00:39] <romy420> Garrett93, now make sure that hte boot loader will be installed in /dev/sda (if that is your hard drive) and then 'Install Now'
[00:39] <usr13> Zeerover_the_gre: no
[00:39] <bazhang> !manual | Zeerover_the_gre have a read
[00:39] <Jagst3r15> usr13 nothing seems amiss
[00:39] <brophat> if it needs to get those files anyway then why am I using a CD? bwahahahaha
[00:39] <bazhang> !rute | Zeerover_the_gre and this
[00:40] <Garrett93> Yes, it does say that is the case
[00:40] <usr13> Jagst3r15: grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log |pastebinit #And send us the resulting URL.
[00:40] <Zeerover_the_gre> Thanks ubottu, i guess. i dont quite understand what you just said though
[00:41] <bazhang> Zeerover_the_gre, read those links.
[00:41] <romy420> ok ... this should suffice ... and it will take longer than 30secs .. ottherwise something is really wrong
[00:41] <Garrett93> crossing fingers, saying a quick prayer, and pressing install now
[00:41] <romy420> :)
[00:41] <romy420> good luck
[00:42] <Jagst3r15> usr13 is this it http://pastebin.com/ruUBwWZ3
[00:43] <brophat> can anyone explain why it is downloading files from the internet when I am using the alternate CD to upgrade. Isn't everything on the CD?
[00:43] <Garrett93> Romy, It appears to have worked, following the instructions...location / username etc
[00:43] <romy420> Garrett93, yes it asks u these questions while in the background ubuntu is being installed
[00:45] <usr13> Jagst3r15: Do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[00:45] <Jagst3r15> usr13 let me see
[00:45] <Garrett93> It appears to be doing so, now, once it completes, if I can still boot windows, I may throw a party i'll be excited. I spent hours trying this before seeking help here

[00:48] <romy420> Garrett93, i hope it will but now it looks it works, strange though that the automatic version would break it, never seen this and many ppl use dual boot
[00:48] <usr13> Jagst3r15: Log out and back in again.
[00:49] <Jagst3r15> k
[00:49] <Jagst3r15> brb
[00:49] <usr13> Ok
[00:50] <Jagst3r15> usr13 it worked =)
[00:50] <Jagst3r15> thank you
[00:50] <usr13> NP
[00:50] <Jagst3r15> what did that do exactly by the way
[00:51] <Jagst3r15> like reset the files?
[00:51] <usr13> Jagst3r15: Got rid of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[00:51] <Garrett93> I have a strange feeling it could have been user error, romy, but this has certainly been most successful
[00:51] <Jagst3r15> ah
[00:52] <Jagst3r15> usr13 what put that there, bumblebee?
[00:52] <romy420> yeah, there is a lot to learn once u start with linux :)
[00:52] <usr13> Jagst3r15: No, it was created by nvidia-xconfig

[00:57] <Jagst3r15> usr13 I think deleting those files disable glxspheres
[00:58] <bazhang> wolfgang_, this is for the wine app? ask for support in #winehq as I said before
[00:59] <wolfgang_> bazhang, no i thought the wine app would help me do it
[01:00] <Phoenixz> I have Ubunti 11.10 installed on a SATA HD, today I got a SSD drive, yay, installed kubuntu 12.04, and lightning fast, cool.. BUT.. I cant boot both SSD and my old HD, it starts from HD. When both are connected, BIOS won't come up and if I boot from SSD, then connect SATA drive, I can see /dev/sdb1, NOT /dev/sdb2, and it only contains EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
[01:00] <romy420> Garrett93, good, grub should offer both systems in boot menu now
[01:00] <Garrett93> Romy, both windows and ubuntu now successful boot. Can't thank you enough
[01:00] <Phoenixz> Now, I guess this is the new EFI (successor to BIOS, right?) thing, but how can I mount my old drive? How can I get my SATA HD to work together with my new SSD drive?
[01:00] <romy420> i'mglad i could help :)
[01:01] <Garrett93> I'm glad you could too
[01:01] <wolfgang_> bazhang, How do i do it?
[01:02] <Garrett93> Very successful, thanks again Romy, have a good one
[01:02]  * Garrett93 high fives romy for the help
[01:02] <romy420> thank u :)
[01:03] <escott> Phoenixz, is your system a bios system?
[01:04] <WaffleScratch> somewhere in the efi bios you should be able to select a first boot hd
[01:04] <wolfgang_> well i gota go
[01:07] <Phoenixz> escott: I think so, though it does support the EFI that is on my SATA HD, obviously, because I used it for quite some time
[01:07] <Phoenixz> escott: Just to avoid some confusion.. EFI is successor to BIOS, IE, if my install is EFI, BIOS wont be able to handle it?
[01:07] <escott> Phoenixz, by definition a bios system cannot boot efi
[01:07] <escott> Phoenixz, if your system is an EFI system it might (but is not required to) have a bios emulation mode
[01:08] <gdea73> I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) to my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10; I received the error "Unhandled Lockdown error (-4)"
[01:08] <brophat> why is my upgrade using the alternate CD needing to download files/
[01:08] <HaltingState> How do i remove the jiggle animation when minimzing/unminizing window
[01:09] <gdea73> I tried running the commands as assessed here (http://goo.gl/oHYTy); however, I received the message "idevicepair: command not found."
[01:09] <escott> !ccsm | HaltingState
[01:09] <Phoenixz> escott: Well, it looked like BIOS so I supposed it was..  Even so, I have used this drive for about 6 months so if it requires EFI, I have EFI :) Even so.. How can I then get this fixed?
[01:09] <gdea73> I installed libimobiledevice-utils, but I still get "command not found" when I try to run "idevicepair."
[01:10] <escott> Phoenixz, are you certains that the spinning disk is a GPT disk? what does sudo parted -l say?
[01:10] <Phoenixz> And another thing: With 12.04, first boot, I get desktop, and seems not to respond at all to mouse or keyboard.. First 2 mouse clicks, ok, I get the menu, then it just seems to freeze until I ALT-SHIFT-F12 stop the special effects, now it works.. What might be the problem? On 11.04 I used the same desktop effects w/o problem
[01:11] <Phoenixz> escott: Partition Table: gpt
[01:11] <escott> Phoenixz, for both disks?
[01:12] <Phoenixz> escott: no, the SSD drive says MSDOS.. Maybe that one should use EFI too? In that case, how would I do that? The ubuntu installer CD did not give me the option
[01:12] <escott> Phoenixz, are you sure you are looking at the right drive? I thought you said it contains an EFI boot partiton
[01:14] <Phoenixz> escott: When I mount and list /dev/sdb1 it shows me /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
[01:14] <escott> Phoenixz, thats a EFI boot partition which should only appear on a GPT disk, and is only useful to an UEFI system
[01:15] <escott> Phoenixz, so sdb whatever that is is setup for a UEFI system
[01:15] <Phoenixz> escott: riightt.. Well, I only know that I used that disk for 6 months prior.. If I connect both my SSD and SATA drive, the SATA will boot...
[01:15] <Phoenixz> escott: so next question is, how to fix this? :)
[01:16] <escott> Phoenixz, im at the "i dont believe anything you say" point. so send me the output of sudo parted -l
[01:17] <escott> !paste | Phoenixz
[01:17] <Phoenixz> escott: No need to get rude here.. I'll get you the output..
[01:17] <glitsj16> brophat: seems the alternate installer does try to download latest package updates over the web when it detects a connection .. http://askubuntu.com/questions/150127/how-do-i-install-kde-or-xfce-or-lxde-to-an-ubuntu-12-04-system-with-no-internet/150148#150148
[01:18] <Phoenixz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1113003/
[01:18] <Phoenixz> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1113003/
[01:19] <Phoenixz> escott: Also, mounted /dev/sdb1 on my ~/old..     -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 131072 Dec 16  2011 old/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi*
[01:19] <escott> Phoenixz, ok. you need to repartition /dev/sda with a GPT table as well as 20MB partition with a fat partition I think the label is EFI. Then you can install grub-efi
[01:20] <brophat> glitsj16 ok but I specifically chose the cd cause my wifi sucks wbhahahahaha
[01:20] <escott> Phoenixz, sorry its just extremely rare to find someone who has an EFI system that was (a) working and (b) they didn't know it was EFI
[01:20] <brophat> it even asked me if I wanted to not use internet and I said no don't use internet
[01:21] <Yadra> Can dd image a disc which hasn't been mounted yet?
[01:21] <Phoenixz> escott: Its not my system, its my office system and it was installed for me, I really have not done anything on install level with this machine, so no I did not know until I got this SSD drive, now I AM installing :)
[01:21] <Phoenixz> escott: so, repartiton, or reinstall?
[01:22] <glitsj16> brophat: confusing indeed .. does it still try to download when you disable your connection?
[01:22] <escott> Phoenixz, yeah
[01:22] <escott> Phoenixz, good news is that with an SSD it will take you 20seconds
[01:22] <WaffleScratch> yadra: yes, it actually needs to be unmounted to copy properly
[01:22] <Phoenixz> escott: errr.. Thats yeah on the repartition, or reinstall?
[01:23] <Yadra> WaffleScratch: hmm, I can't seem to get it to accept a if=/dev/<device> path
[01:23] <escott> Phoenixz, yes you need to repartiton and reinstall, and use gparted on the livecd (or the installed system) to ensure you have a GPT structure
[01:23] <escott> Phoenixz, you'll have to say "new partition table" and select the GPT structure not MSDOS
[01:23] <WaffleScratch> is it a CD disc or HD?
[01:23] <Phoenixz> escott: Perfect, thats what I needed to know.. Thanks a lot
[01:24] <Yadra> WaffleScratch: it's a USB flash drive
[01:24] <Phoenixz> escott: I know all about msdos structure, but EFI and GPT are quite new to me, I'll have to study up a bit again..
[01:24] <Phoenixz> anyway, thanks!
[01:24] <Phoenixz> TTYAL!
[01:24] <escott> Phoenixz, its simpler in a way
[01:24] <WaffleScratch> whats the error you get
[01:24] <escott> Phoenixz, no extended/primary partitions. dedicated partition for bootloaders (thats this /efi/grub thing you were looking at)
[01:27] <brophat> glitsj16  good idea, but hell I am just gonna let it do what it is doing
[01:28] <brophat> afraid i will screw it up if I cut off its connection now. I just gotta wait another two hours bwahhahaha
[01:28] <brophat> I am connected at an avg of 50 kB/s
[01:28] <brophat> what is a decent download rate?
[01:29] <glitsj16> brophat: indeed .. and on a slow connection it looks like .. decent varies pretty much i guess
[01:29] <usr13> brophat: That's pretty decent.
[01:31] <Yadra> WaffleScratch: yikes, I guess it's working now! (I'm viewing the ascii-ified contents of the volume scroll by in the terminal! xD [because I set no output file])
[01:33] <WaffleScratch> aha I done that a few time in a hurry :P
[01:38] <dalek_> how do I remove nvidia proprietary drivers which have been installed manually from command line?
[01:38] <deadmund> dalek_: apt-get remove <nvidia>-something
[01:38] <romy420> dalek, do the same command again and replace 'install' with 'remove'
[01:38] <deadmund> dalek_: There are many packages that contain the nvidia propreitary drivers.  Which did you install?
[01:39] <dalek_> deadmund, already tried.. does not work. it was not installed with apt-get. Drivers were installed by nvidia's own intaller, downloaded from nvidia website.
[01:39] <tkesler> Has anyone run into a problem coming out of sleep on a laptop?
[01:40] <deadmund> dalek_: Then the only way to remove is figure out what files the installer put where. Do you have a link to it?  Perhaps it has an uninstall
[01:40] <dalek_> deadmund, this is the one - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-173.14.35-driver.html
[01:41] <deadmund> dalek_: lemme look at it
[01:42] <brophat> ok fellas and ladies I am gonna get off this irc to give my crappy connection some room to download
[01:43] <deadmund> dalek_: All that download is a binary so I can't read it (humanly read it).  Can you get the name of the driver with sudo lspci -k   ?
[01:44] <abimael> so i updated eclipse and attempted to install ADT plugin and now it says its installed but isnt showing up in plugins or to create new project
[01:45] <Qualia> uninstall the eclipse
[01:45] <Qualia> use vim
[01:45] <dalek_> deadmund, yes. see - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113027/
[01:45] <deadmund> dalek_: reading
[01:45] <deadmund> mmmm, I was hoping for more info that 'nvidia'
[01:46] <deadmund> dalek_: try this and see what it turns up while we booth google some more.  sudo find / -name nvidia
[01:46] <blahdeblah> Hi.  I'm trying to be a good boy and learn how to use Unity properly before jumping ship to Mint or Debian or Xubuntu or something.  I've played with Unity on 12.04 for a few days and it's driving me nuts.  Is it possible to do the following?  1. Maximise a window vertically from the keyboard without changing its width, and keeping it at its current horizontal position on the screen.
[01:46] <blahdeblah>  2. Change to a specific workspace from the keyboard. 3. Switch to another window of the same application from the keyboard.
[01:46] <blahdeblah> 4. Turn off the command box coming up whenever Alt is pressed. 5. Show system monitor somewhere in a panel that shows all the time.
[01:47] <deadmund> dalek_: I found a site saying you can run sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-<stuff>.pkg.run --uninstall
[01:47] <romy420> tkesler, is your hard drive encrypted?
[01:47] <synthmesc> Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime, not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. Well, it stands to reason I won't have it.
[01:48] <usr13> blahdeblah: You mentioned Xubuntu, so thought I'd let you know that you only have to issue command, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop  to use it.
[01:48] <dalek_> deadmund, sounds good. I will try that.
[01:48] <deadmund> blahdeblah: I don't think you'll find any window manager that will do 1 for you.
[01:48] <escott> blahdeblah, (1) sure same way it could be done with compiz (assuming that you could do it with compiz before)
[01:48] <abimael> deadmund: can i set up ADT with VIM?
[01:49] <deadmund> abimael: what is vim ?  (why not ask in android-dev)
[01:49] <deadmund> vim the text editor / IDE?
[01:49] <deadmund> I have no idea
[01:49] <blahdeblah> deadmund: icewm does it for me now
[01:49] <usr13> vim - Vi IMproved, a programmers text editor
[01:49] <deadmund> blahdeblah: Cool! :)
[01:49] <blahdeblah> And i'm pretty sure metacity would as well
[01:50] <deadmund> blahdeblah: I cannot help you :(
[01:51] <blahdeblah> After a bit more digging i found the way to switch & move windows between workspaces from the keyboard, but you can't override the keys used by the panel/launcher/whatever-it-is.  I previously had Win-Number to switch to the workspace of that number.  Any thoughts?
[01:52] <usr13> blahdeblah: The command box comes up when you hit Alt-F2
[01:52] <Logos01> Greetings! I'm currently working on installing an Ubuntu Server (12.04 amd64) instance. I need to add a PPA to my install before the installation actually occurs.
[01:52] <blahdeblah> usr13: Something very similar comes up when i just tap Alt.  Google indicates it may be called the HUD.
[01:53] <Logos01> Does anyone have experience doing this?  There's no /etc/apt dir.
[01:53] <beandog> Are you sure you're on Ubuntu?
[01:53] <Logos01> beandog: I am 100,000% sure.
[01:53] <deadmund> Logos01: no /etc/apt dir.  You haven't installed yet.  There is no /  directory
[01:54] <beandog> ok
[01:54] <Logos01> deadmund: / is the root of the installation environment.
[01:54] <usr13> blahdeblah: When you hit Ctrl-F2 do you go to Workspace 2  Or, Ctrl-F1 to workspace 1?
[01:54] <Logos01> Just like it would be the root of a liveCD environment.
[01:54] <deadmund> Logos01: Ahh, so by /etc/apt you mean on the install media
[01:54] <blahdeblah> usr13: Ctrl-F1 and Ctrl-F2 appear to do nothing.
[01:55] <Logos01> deadmund: Yes.
[01:55] <deadmund> Logos01: Looks like that feature is part of hte installer now: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12561/
[01:55] <usr13> blahdeblah: You probably have only one workspace.  (Sorry, but I'm not an authority on Unity, so...)
[01:55] <Logos01> deadmund: You're aware I said "server" install, right?
[01:55] <blahdeblah> There's a workspace switcher that shows 4 workspaces
[01:56] <deadmund> Logos01: haha, forgot that part.   Mmmm, IDK of a way.  Why do you need the packages installed at install time and not after you first login?
[01:56] <Logos01> Because then I wouldn't have installed the system on the FS these packages provide.
[01:56] <Logos01> zfsonlinux.
[01:57] <Logos01> I'm also in #zfsonlinux. They said to come here for this piece.
[01:57] <romy420> blahdeblah, open 'System Settings' -> Keyboard, there u can configure shortcuts to switch to a specific workspace
[01:58] <romy420> they're just not configured by default
[01:58] <blahdeblah> romy420: Found that. But you can't override Meta+Num.
[01:58] <romy420> no u cant
[01:58] <AcidRain2012> im back with the same issue that when my eth0 connection is dropped, it fails to automatically reconnect
[01:58] <AcidRain2012> can anyone hellp me with this?
[01:58] <deadmund> Logos01: I don't know.  Sorry :(
[01:58] <AcidRain2012> i have like 50 servers running, and i cant have them dropping until i can come home and manually click on it
[01:59] <Logos01> deadmund: Well, I'm not surprised. Thank you for your time though. :)
[01:59] <jesse2> Hello.  After applying a theme, it doesnt load automatically..... is there a key combo that i can quickly refresh/restart to load the theme?
[01:59] <usr13> blahdeblah: How about Ctrl-Alt-Left or Right arrow?  (Does it switch between workspaces?)
[01:59] <jesse2> i think it was alt+f2 and something but i dont recall
[01:59]  * blahdeblah tries icewm --replace on Unity to see what carnage results...
[02:00] <AcidRain2012> i installed wicd, hopefully this will solve this issue
[02:00] <l3d> how would u install a theme on 12
[02:00] <smallfoot-> how can i verify that no file on my system has been tampered with?
[02:00] <l3d> 12
[02:00] <smallfoot-> doesn't canonical sign ubuntu binaries?
[02:00] <usr13> blahdeblah: Does Alt-F10 maximise current window?
[02:00] <romy420> unity is made for apple users ... i guess u want more freedom :P
[02:01] <usr13> blahdeblah: Does Alt-Space bring up context window to do various things with current window?
[02:02] <jesse2> Can anyone recomend a site where I can download more themes/window decorations for Unity (Ubuntu 12.04) ?
[02:02] <xangua> jesse2: gnome-look.org
[02:02] <usr13> blahdeblah: Does Alt-F5 return window to previous size?
[02:02] <blahdeblah> usr13: Alt-F10 didn't work, Alt-Space did; I'll switch back to Unity to see about some of the others
[02:02] <jesse2> thanks xangua
[02:04] <blahdeblah> usr13: Alt-F10 opens the menu the same as F10 usually does
[02:05] <blahdeblah> Alt-F5 does nothing
[02:06] <blahdeblah> usr13: Found where i can change some of those - trying now
[02:07] <WarriorSl> people sorry for the lame question, I'm using 12.04 and I wanna know how do I disable the sticky edges of the screen with windows?
[02:08] <a_ozaki> join #platform
[02:10] <blahdeblah> usr13, deadmund: I actually found a shortcut to maximise vertically in place.  But pressing it again doesn't toggle, you have to use Alt-F5 to restore it.
[02:10] <IlikeMoose> i'm getting a weird message  E: Encountered a section with no Package: header  and apt-get won't work nor will update manager
[02:10] <deadmund> blahdeblah: ok :)
[02:10] <deadmund> blahdeblah: This is not an issue that strongly concerns me
[02:11] <blahdeblah> Just thought i'd let you know that it is possible in Unity
[02:11] <deadmund> blahdeblah: ok, thanks :)
[02:11] <blahdeblah> My finger memory is too far ingrained to consider giving up icewm.  Unity is getting better, but still not customisable enough for power users.
[02:11] <obakfahad> Hello  guys .
[02:12] <obakfahad> Unity is cool but not as gnome-shell .
[02:13] <obakfahad> If you want top customize ...then there is no other WM as classic one . Gnome2 .
[02:13] <Diegosan> i hate both still, and yet gnome fall back still doesnt feel right
[02:13] <wawan> is there a way to upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04 ??
[02:13] <Logos01> wawan: Directly? Yes. But it's not supported.
[02:13] <Logos01> Otherwise, just do do-release-upgrade three times.
[02:14] <Logos01> But that's not recommended, IMO, as compared to a full reinstall.
[02:14] <obakfahad> It will broke many things .@ wawan
[02:14] <Logos01> They changed top-level directories in 11.10.
[02:14] <jimmy_lo> !regular file
[02:14] <escott> blahdeblah, shock therapy. you can make those fingers forget in no time
[02:14] <wawan> yes i see..
[02:14] <xreal> Is there a variable for systems fonts? (/usr/share/fonts/truetype)
[02:14] <Logos01> wawan: Did you by any chance make a separate / and /home partitions?
[02:15] <Diegosan> i did a 10.04 to 10.10 once and it failed so bad lol, then a frest install didnt install the same for some reason, the display drivers were all messed on bootup
[02:15] <wawan> so it isn't do easly
[02:16] <obakfahad> wawan you can try upgrade opening a new user and of course  ur home partition should be another , not whole one .....
[02:16] <IlikeMoose> what causes package lists to become corrupt??
[02:16] <obakfahad> quit .lol
[02:16] <deadmund> IlikeMoose: nonsense (usually network errors) it's an easy fix
[02:17] <IlikeMoose> yeah i found sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists* -vf and it seems to be working :) hurray internets!!!
[02:17] <deadmund> IlikeMoose: internets are good.
[02:18] <SteevB2> Anyone have a suggestion to a good setup for a server setup for a business. It is used pretty much to save, update, and search for invoices.
[02:18] <IlikeMoose> internets r00l!!!! praise al gore!
[02:18] <xworld> hey guys I installed osdlyrics in ubuntu 11.10 but its settings is not showing previous time when i used osdlyrics I used to edit the font color and all but now i cant able to do that how to get the setting of osdlyrics

[02:20] <jyc> hello! I have three monitors set up - two are connected to an ATI card, and the third is connected to the internal Intel graphics. how can I enable the third monitor?
[02:20] <Niji> question..can i hook concert mics with ubuntu? (shure)
[02:20] <deadmund> jyc: I don't think it is possible to enable both onboard and external graphics at the same time (i.e. you can't)
[02:20] <obakfahad> jyc , your third one can not be possible because that IS OUT OF WORK WHEN EXTERNAL ATI TEHRE .
[02:21] <Diegosan> jyc: some motherboards dont allow this, but it would be in the bios settings if its possible from the one board i have that does that
[02:21] <jyc> it is completely possible. I have the setup working on Windows
[02:21] <jyc> I enabled the internal graphics in the BIOS
[02:21] <jyc> obakfahad: RTFM before using caps, please
[02:21] <deadmund> jyc: you have it working in windows?  Well then maybe it can be done.   I will try some more things and then try to report back - thanks for the the help all

[02:24] <deadmund> he left :(
[02:25] <obakfahad> Oh . deadmund
[02:25] <obakfahad> Are u regular here deadmund ?
[02:25] <deadmund> not in a long time
[02:25] <deadmund> about a year or 2
[02:25] <deadmund> but I used to be the BEST
[02:25] <obakfahad> that is more than regular .
[02:26] <obakfahad> Do you have a website ?
[02:26] <obakfahad> deadmund ?
[02:26] <deadmund> obakfahad: yeah, actually.  I do :)
[02:27] <Dr_willis>  check delicious.com and the 'ubuntu' tags... ;)
[02:28] <LinuxHack3r> So has anyone heard of a timescale for Valve's Steam Linux release?
[02:28] <Diegosan> 2015
[02:28] <deadmund> Dr_willis: Why am I looking at this?  http://delicious.com/tag/ubuntu
[02:29] <omlala> I am in the process of wanting to make a bootable USB for a windows friend but first I must format it and the windows help is no help. How do I do it? (I think I want to do it NTFS)
[02:29] <dalek_> deadmund, I got the nvidia driver to uninstall.. now I can't get ubuntu's default nouveau nvidia drivers to install properly :(
[02:30] <deadmund> dalek_: They were listed as alternatives if I remember you lspci -k correctly.  What is the problem exactly?
[02:30] <prabha> i installed on board screen but does not show anything how can i open that software
[02:30] <xworld> hey guys how to change the settings of osdlyrics
[02:30] <pooltable> how to lock guest account ?
[02:30] <pooltable> lock the computer after say 9 pm?
[02:30] <prabha> will u tell me any commnd
[02:31] <dalek_> deadmund, screen res is stuck at 1024x768.. no other resolution except 800x600 available. Can't detect any external display, etc.
[02:32] <deadmund> dalek_: what driver is the system using?  what does xrandr say about things?  What is your desired / maximum resolution
[02:33] <Dr_willis> LinuxHack3r,  could be next week.. could be next year.. could be next 4 years.. no one knows.
[02:33] <dalek_> deadmund, native res should be 1280x800.
[02:33] <dalek_> brb
[02:34] <LinuxHack3r> Dr_willis: Yeah that was what I was thinking, but I honestly just read about it today and was wondering if perhaps someone had heard a timeframe. Oh well...good news nontheless.
[02:34] <Dr_willis> LinuxHack3r,  if it ever actually happens.
[02:34] <escott> pooltable, what do you mean by lock?
[02:35] <pooltable> not log in to the computer at all via guest account
[02:35] <LinuxHack3r> Dr_willis: Well the clame to have l4d2 running natively, That is a good sign.
[02:36] <deadmund> LinuxHack3r: claim, I've seen screenshots.  I think even if their project fails that little bit of code will be leaked
[02:36] <arooni-mobile> ugh.  i was trying to fix audio problems when playing flash on ubuntu 12.04 64bit by installing pavucontrol;  i changed output setting to something different; now theres *no audio* ... i tried to run pavuadio again but it doesnt load anymore; "connect to pulseaudio failed"
[02:37] <LinuxHack3r> deadmund: I was wondering that as well. At the lest perhaps we gain l4d2! but I really hope that they will at least port steam and the source games.
[02:37] <Diegosan> pooltable: i found this with google http://www.techlw.com/2012/05/disable-guest-account-in-ubuntu-1204.html i presume 12.04
[02:37] <arooni-mobile> help?
[02:37] <deadmund> LinuxHack3r: yeah, we can hope.  The slashdot news earlier today seemed promising
[02:38] <Diegosan> i get blue videos from flash now, but thats another story
[02:38] <pooltable> diegosan thanks
[02:38] <Diegosan> np
[02:38] <pooltable> also block facebook ?
[02:38] <UndiFineD> phoronix has many updates on the subject: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE0Njc Valve On Linux To Be Presented In Two Weeks
[02:39] <pooltable> loog off the computer at say 10 pm to 7 am "?
[02:39] <Diegosan> i wouldnt know that sorry, but i would think hosts file
[02:39] <LinuxHack3r> deadmund: *Reading now. I was very close to selling my custom built gaming pc because I am so tired of windows. but I may actually keep it just for that. I'll get kubuntu on it soon probably.
[02:40] <deadmund> pooltable: check out these packageS: askubuntu.com/questions/68918/how-do-i-restrict-my-kids-computing-time
[02:40] <deadmund> pooltable: Ignore the fact that they 'dont work' in 11.10
[02:40] <deadmund> LinuxHack3r: I like arch linux :)
[02:40] <pooltable> deadmund 12.04 here
[02:41] <deadmund> pooltable: yeah. likely those claims that the programs don't work aren't really true anyway.  Try those programs
[02:41] <moegreen> hey guys..why would root not be able to change the sudoers file? It wont even let me chmod 777 it
[02:41] <LinuxHack3r> deadmund: I like Mountain Lion, but cannot justify an iMac right now;)
[02:41] <deadmund> LinuxHack3r: Have you read the insane ars technica review of Mnt. Lion?
[02:41] <LinuxHack3r> deadmund: show me a link? BTW I am in Mountain Lion right now:)
[02:42] <moegreen> i need to add a user to the list and i get that the file is read only which it is, but i cant even change it
[02:42] <deadmund> LinuxHack3r: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/07/os-x-10-8/  You have a misleading nick
[02:42] <pooltable> also i get a crash like daily how to fix them ?
[02:42] <dalek_> deadmund, xrandr shows - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113078/
[02:43] <deadmund> dalek_: It looks like it thinks your monitor is limited to 1024 x 768
[02:43] <deadmund> dalek_: reading...
[02:43] <dalek_> deadmund, it's a laptop screen, native res 1280x800
[02:43] <mobyte> Hello everyone. I would just like help with some quick problems. First is that my minimize, maximize, and close buttons have somehow shifted to the right of my windows. I was wondering how this happened and how I would switch them back to the left. Also, the text above windows is now bolded for some reason. How would I change both of these back?
[02:44] <deadmund> dalek_: try xrandr -s 1280*800
[02:44] <LinuxHack3r> deadmund: Oh now, I have a MacBook pro because I love OS X, but I also very much love linux and would love to be able to use it if it was just a bit more mainsteam, ie professional office programs and gaming. I could do Windows 7 in a VM in Linux just as I do my MacBook and Windows 7 for a few applications, but it is the gaming that gets me. But I used only Linux for about 6 years.
[02:44] <mobyte> Also I can't switch workspaces with my ctrl+alt+arrowkey anymore.
[02:45] <deadmund> dalek_: What driver are you using?
[02:46] <dalek_> deadmund, none apparently... see here - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1113085/
[02:46] <pleitegeier> can I tell cron somehow to run missed jobs (because system was offline) after next boot?
[02:46] <deadmund> dalek_: Did you uninstall the nvidia driver and not reboot?
[02:46] <deadmund> dalek_: It does appear to be nothing :P
[02:46] <arooni-mobile> ugh.  i was trying to fix audio problems when playing flash on ubuntu 12.04 64bit by installing pavucontrol;  i changed output setting to something different; now theres *no audio* ... i tried to run pavuadio again but it doesnt load anymore; "connect to pulseaudio failed"  help?
[02:46] <deadmund> pleitegeier: anacron :)
[02:46] <dalek_> deadmund, uninstalled, rebooted.. several times....
[02:46] <pleitegeier> deadmund: k, thanks
[02:46] <deadmund> dalek_: lsmod | grep nouveau    shows stuff?
[02:47] <deadmund> dalek_: I dont' need to see it.  Only let me know that it outputs
[02:47] <mobyte> Never mind about the buttons being on the right, I just found out how to switch them back to the left. Still need help with the shortcut thing and the bolded text thing.
[02:48] <dalek_> deadmund, it outputs a list of stuff containing "nouveau"
[02:48] <deadmund> dalek_: That means the nouveau driver is loaded and being used.  Check this out: http://wienker.org/blog/?p=32
[02:49] <deadmund> dalek_: What happened when you tried to just set the resolution you wanted with xrandr -s ?
[02:49] <deadmund> dalek_: BTW, your pastebin speed is appreciated :)
[02:49] <dalek_> deadmund, it complained that what I wanted to do was impossible
[02:50] <deadmund> dalek_: check out the link to try to add a mode line
[02:51] <dalek_> deadmund, I can't work out why I should have to add screen modes manually when it could work it out itself automagically before I had the nvidia's drivers installed :(
[02:51] <zimba12> all of a sudden my usb wifi adapter stopped working on ubuntu 12.04 (it's been working till today and it still works on kubuntu on another machine)
[02:52] <deadmund> dalek_: different drivers probe the hardware differently.  Some do a better job than others.
[02:52] <zimba12> do you know what can cause it?
[02:52] <deadmund> dalek_: You can try using a different driver if you want
[02:52] <dalek_> deadmund, different driver? such as?
[02:53] <omlala> ok I got it the thumb drive is ok to write on. FAT32 is good enough.
[02:53] <mobyte> I fixed everything else. Can somebody please tell me how to get back the ctrl+alt+arrowkey shortcut back?
[02:53] <RiXtEr> hey guys how can I look at how the kernel was compiled if I don't have /proc/config.gz?
[02:53] <zimba12> when I unplug it, the kernel crashes with messages like: usb_disable_device
[02:56] <obakfahad> deadmmund what is that site ?
[02:58] <mobyte> I figured out how to fix my problems.. thanks...
[02:58] <deadmund> obakfahad: IDK, I googled it
[02:58] <obakfahad> No No... i am asking your blog... dedmund
[02:59] <deadmund> obakfahad: not a blog, just a personal site: ednovak.net
[02:59] <omlala> will the amd version work on intel? 12.04 -- I doownloaded it. sorry if it's a stupid question.
[03:00] <deadmund> omlala: the term 'amd64' is actually intel and amd processors that are 64 bit'  There is no 'intel64'
[03:00] <omlala> this is an hp computer with intel core inside. tell me which version to use. the regular desktop?
[03:00] <deadmund> omlala: In other words, it will work if you have a 64 bit processor.  Even an 64 bit processor is called amd64
[03:00] <omlala> then it'
[03:00] <deadmund> omlala: Well I can't tell if you have 64bit or not
[03:00] <omlala> then it's ok?
[03:01] <deadmund> omlala: read what I said and decide for yourself but don't make me repeat myself
[03:01] <omlala> i see. how do I tell if this is 64. sorry being on windows is odd to me.
[03:01] <omlala> !gnome omlala
[03:02] <omlala> I think I've forgotten everything. heh.
[03:03] <omlala> also what does "Set a persistent file size for storing changes" mean. Yes, it's optional.
[03:04] <omlala> And how do I get ubottu to tell me how to make it load in gnome?
[03:07] <omlala> I'd like it to load GNOME2 rather than UNITY. How do I do that?
[03:08] <romy420> omlala ... windows key + break should show u the system information (64?) in windows
[03:09] <omlala> there's a break key? shades of the XT!
[03:09] <romy420> i have one, u should too
[03:10] <omlala> I dont see a label "break"
[03:11] <omlala> BTW I figured out "persistent" and chose 3G. Persistence means I can store on the drive and not just in ram. I mean that's the purpose of using a usb drive.
[03:11] <Miguelito> Hmmmm just thought I'd ask this... Anyone have any games either first person or rpg that they would recommend?
[03:12] <pooltable> help block face book on opera and chrome ?
[03:12] <romy420> omlala,, if u just want to install from that usb than persistent is not necessary, but will not hurt either
[03:13] <omlala> I want to play with it. I want to have one that has things like xchat on it. some things that dont exist in the default set.
[03:14] <omlala> BUT I really really want gnome2 instead of unity. How do I do that? Ubottu knows but I cant seem to get the command together.
[03:15] <AcidRain2012> how do i make wicd show up in icon tray?
[03:15] <omlala> !ubottu omlala
[03:15] <escott> omlala, if your hardware is powerful enough a virtualbox install might be preferable to a liveusb. liveusb is more about portability
[03:15] <tchopper> Miguelito, Final Fantasy V is a great game.
[03:15] <Miguelito> tchopper, and they have it for linux
[03:15] <omlala> Sorry I dont know anything about ubottu omlala.... What am I doing...
[03:15] <escott> !notunity | omlala
[03:15] <omlala> yo
[03:16] <omlala> thanks escott
[03:16] <omlala> ok good.
[03:17] <omlala> I understand that unity is gnome in disguise but I'm no good at "hide and seek"
[03:17] <tchopper> Now I know why I have gnome-shell on here. gnome-tweak-tool installed it.
[03:17] <logost> Can anyone direct me to a guide for install/compile mplayer 32 bit on/along side 64 bit?
[03:17] <escott> logost, apt-get install mplayer:i386
[03:17] <AcidRain2012> how do i make wicd show up in icon tray?
[03:18] <logost> escott, ah simple as that. Nice
[03:18] <cmake> now I know what those .dat files are they are standard FAA file format :) thanks gnu projects
[03:18] <AcidRain2012> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." <-- it says this. but i dont see one that does have it
[03:18] <cmake> not what was those ubin files :)
[03:18] <cmake> EGT
[03:18] <cmake> LOL
[03:18] <omlala> OK all looks good for now. thanks to anone who helped me.... it turns out it takes time to extraCT the iso.
[03:22] <pooltable> help block face book on opera and chrome ?
[03:24] <escott> pooltable, iptables + squid
[03:24] <pooltable> escott what is that ?
[03:25] <escott> pooltable, use iptables to block access to the raw web and force all access to port 80 to go through a squid proxy, then you can blacklist websites
[03:25] <coop> Good evening everyone
[03:25] <escott> pooltable, its not 100% but it will stop most casual users
[03:25] <cmake> iptables and the older ipchains are a coming for me soon after I finish the last switches up of awk , sed , grep , find not long not long
[03:25] <pooltable> escott how do i set it up?
[03:25] <escott> !iptables
[03:26] <escott> !squid
[03:26] <Diegosan> i just notice the #gentoo has 925 users O.O is it that hard or what lol
[03:26] <djskidd> hi, I can't get a Java archive to run as an executible
[03:26] <djskidd> Diegosan: it is really hard.
[03:27] <Diegosan> ive never tried it so l dont know
[03:27] <animus123> how to modify the splash screen basically the screen which display during shutdown.
[03:27] <djskidd> I was never able to get into the installer since I don't know bash
[03:27] <escott> Diegosan, depends on what stage you start the bootstrap. the early stage1 was a pain (and took forever) after stage 3 its on par with ubuntu
[03:27] <djskidd> how do I run a java archive as a program?
[03:27] <magg> Hello… I'd like to deploy Hadoop to OpenStack cloud. Is there any automatic way to do that? I heard ubuntu has juju and orchestra for that, where can i find any info to do this with my openstack cloud and not the EC2
[03:28] <Diegosan> me thinks i will try in a virtualbox
[03:29] <Jagst3r15> should i remove Nouveau and use the Nvidida provided drivers instead?
[03:29] <djskidd> I lost virtualbox when I upgraded from Unity to XFCE
[03:29] <Jagst3r15> I think that would be better since then I don't need bumblebee right
[03:30] <animus123> where is the splash screen files lo
[03:30] <pb> if I wanted to start fillding around with changing my gui. were would be a good place to find a book on it.
[03:30] <pb> or a name of a reference would be better yet.
[03:30] <animus123> where is the splash screen files located in ubuntu?
[03:30] <Diegosan> i recently got a quad core and its literally like 4 times faster at virtualboxing than it was with a dual core, but that pc was like 5 years old so
[03:31] <pb> text editing with vim? emacs? hex?
[03:32] <animus123> anybody using ubuntu with sis graphic cards?
[03:32] <pooltable> escott thanks
[03:32] <romy420> pb, install themes?!
[03:33] <pooltable> diegosan i like gentoo but like the way ubuntu up date evey thing
[03:33] <Diegosan> me too
[03:36] <pb> naw. Ill start by finishing reading my vim handbook.
[03:36] <Diegosan> I swaped HD to a new computer with ubuntu 10.04 on it, the original machine had a ATI graphics card and the new machine has a NVIDIA card. I can't seem to fix the flash videos from being blue colored. anyone have any suggestions? I got the NVIDIA drivers up and going
[03:36] <pb> romy420, you always hanging about in here?
[03:37] <romy420> pb, no not really at least not writing
[03:38] <pb> i leave it up in one of my second workspaces. amusing the stuff you learn just by lurking.
[03:38] <pb> goodnight gang.
[03:40] <animus123> need help?
[03:43] <prateekp> hello
[03:43] <trackbrasil> hi
[03:44] <prateekp> i am getting an error svn: Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to PROPFIND request for '/distfun'
[03:46] <prateekp> hello
[03:47] <prateekp> i am getting an error svn: Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to PROPFIND request for '/distfun'
[03:47] <terminhell> prateekp: server is sdown then
[03:47] <prateekp> sdown?
[03:47] <terminhell> *down
[03:48] <prateekp> ohh but when i googled it said it is proxy issue
[03:48] <RiXtEr> hey guys how can I look at how the kernel was compiled if I don't have /proc/config.gz?
[03:48] <terminhell> disable your proxy then
[03:48] <r3z> How the heck do you install NFS on precise?>
[03:48] <terminhell> nfs
[03:49] <prateekp> but when i do so , i mean when i use internet without it sill shows this
[03:49] <RiXtEr> Network File System
[03:49] <terminhell> !nfs
[03:49] <prateekp> can i check through terminal whether i am using proxy or not
[03:49] <IlikeMoose> anyone in here good with unity/gnome problems? when i click on my wireless network icon in the "system tray" and try to search for available wireless networks all i get is a very tiny box, if i restart the pc it works fine, how can i fix this so i don't have to restart the pc?
[03:49] <terminhell> idk prateekp , im not sure what profind is
[03:50] <prateekp> ok
[03:50] <terminhell> IlikeMoose: have you tried droping to run level 3 & just killing X?
[03:50] <prateekp> hey can anybody help me with an error
[03:51] <prateekp> i am getting an error svn: Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to PROPFIND request for '/distfun'
[03:51] <IlikeMoose> terminhell, i thought killing x would be a bit extreme
[03:51] <Jagst3r15> if I install the closed source nivida supported drivers do i need to remove bumbleebee and Nouveau? anyone know?
[03:52] <terminhell> IlikeMoose: not as extreme as rebooting...
[03:52] <r3z> Tons of 503's on the repos
[03:52] <r3z> Anyone else having those problems?
[03:52] <Derpian> r3z, what repo are you using
[03:52] <r3z> Default
[03:52] <Derpian> r3z, hm let me try apt-get update
[03:53] <Derpian> Nope
[03:53] <r3z> Weird
[03:53] <Derpian> r3z, what version are you on
[03:53] <r3z> 12.04
[03:53] <Derpian> ok
[03:53] <r3z> Just installed
[03:53] <Derpian> I am on 12.04 too
[03:53] <Derpian> r3z, why not go into synaptic and see which repo you are using
[03:54] <IlikeMoose> terminhell, how do you drop to run level 3, what are the exact commands and how do i restart x afterwards just "startx &" ?
[03:54] <r3z> Server install
[03:54] <r3z> no gui
[03:54] <terminhell> startx just that
[03:54] <terminhell> ctrl+alt+F1 , alt-F7 to get back into x if you get scared haha
[03:55] <Derpian> terminhell, he's on server
[03:55] <terminhell> why a gui then?
[03:55] <Derpian> terminhell, he doesnt have one I assume
[03:55] <Derpian> r3z, try nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change them to another mirror
[03:56] <r3z> I think it might be a firewall issue
[03:56] <r3z> CHceking the routers
[03:56] <Derpian> r3z, check that out. I use the main one
[03:56] <anomaly> I admit my ignorance with php as I am learning.  on my webserver, all my plain html pages are fine.  yet, my wordpress and phpmyadmin can work fine for 30mins or so.. then when I load another page or section in it after under an hour of use or so, the page refresh just sits there for a couple dozen seconds.  no errors, forbiddens, denieds.  then say, an hour later it loads just fine like nothing happened.  surely there is something I am missing due to sa
[03:56] <anomaly> id ignorance.  either with php or my configuration elsewhere.
[03:56] <Derpian> anomaly try #php
[03:56] <terminhell> Derpian: he's using unity DE
[03:57] <anomaly> Derpian, I did.
[03:57] <Derpian> terminhell, how would you know? he's using server. I told him to go into synaptic
[03:57] <Derpian> anomaly, wait for a response on there then, this is for ubuntu support
[03:57] <chrisco97> Hey
[03:57] <terminhell> Derpian: you just said he's using server...
[03:57] <chrisco97> I am in need of some help with something
[03:57] <r3z> Yep firewall
[03:57] <r3z> Fixing...
[03:57] <Derpian> terminhell, I told him use synaptic and he said he is in server
[03:58] <terminhell> paosdjfkjsdf
[03:58] <r3z> FYI that is why I cannot see the nfs-kernel-server package I guess
[03:58] <r3z> LOL
[03:58] <r3z> I was like WTF happened to it in 12.04
[03:58] <terminhell> im lost now
[03:58] <Derpian> chrico97, what do you need
[03:59] <chrisco97> I am wanting to install Ubuntu alongside Windows
[03:59] <chrisco97> Problem is, I have four partitions pre-configured
[03:59] <chrisco97> I have an HP computer, and the HP_Tools is the extra partition
[03:59] <chrisco97> I am told if I delete it, it could cause problems.
[03:59] <chrisco97> Any idea of what I should do?
[03:59] <Derpian> chrisco97, what are the partitions? Are 3 of them for Windows/HP? Then you should make an extended/logical for Ubuntu
[04:00] <terminhell> what kind of "tools"?
[04:00] <bunglonhijau> gparted..
[04:00] <chrisco97> I have C, System, Recovery, and HP_Tools
[04:00] <Derpian> chrisco97, alright then make a logical/extended partition
[04:00] <terminhell> hp_tools & recovery are useless, kill with fire
[04:01] <Derpian> terminhell, not for a new user/basic user
[04:01] <chrisco97> That is what they say, I do not want my PC messed up though
[04:01] <Derpian> terminhell, it can void the warranty
[04:01] <Derpian> depending on the hardware make/manufacturer's warranty rules
[04:01] <chrisco97> It says I cannot create a new one
[04:01] <Derpian> chrisco97, it won't mess your computer up but if you want it back to factory setting then it won't be the same
[04:01] <terminhell> he's going to be voiding some warranties just by installing linux...
[04:01] <chrisco97> I can only have four primary
[04:02] <Derpian> terminhell, perhaps
[04:02] <Derpian> chrisco97, make an extended/logical partition then
[04:03] <chrisco97> I am clicking the new partition button and it gives me that message
[04:03] <Derpian> chrisco97, I'd recommend making the partition inside the Ubuntu installer
[04:03] <chrisco97> Okay
[04:03] <chrisco97> Let me try
[04:03] <chrisco97> I am on the Live Session right now
[04:03] <terminhell> resize one
[04:03] <chrisco97> I already shrunk my main one to give room for the new one
[04:04] <Derpian> chrisco97, you must resize one and make it to a logical/extended partition
[04:04] <terminhell> extended...or maybe lvm?
[04:04] <chrisco97> Could I do that to the HP one?
[04:04] <chrisco97> I cannot do that to the main one though, right?
[04:04] <chrisco97> Would that not mess it up?
[04:04] <Derpian> chrisco97, I'd recommend the largest partition (C drive)
[04:05] <chrisco97> I already shrunk it, I have 80gb unallocated now
[04:05] <Derpian> chrisco97, it won't mess it up. I wouldn't recommend resizing the HP one because it may be small
[04:05] <Derpian> Ok
[04:05] <chrisco97> What next?
[04:05] <chrisco97> It is small
[04:05] <Derpian> chrisco97, now you make that unallocated into a logical partition
[04:05] <Derpian> chrisco97, First make a swap partition
[04:05] <terminhell> you didnt shrink it all the way did you???
[04:05] <chrisco97> No
[04:05] <chrisco97> Just by 80gb
[04:05] <chrisco97> For the installation of Linux
[04:06] <terminhell> ok good
[04:06] <Derpian> chrisco97, Make a swap partition. Make that about 1.5x your RAM
[04:06] <Derpian> chrisco97, then the rest of unallocated to a / partition
[04:06] <Derpian> make sure that is extended partition first
[04:06] <chrisco97> How do I create the swap partition?
[04:06] <chrisco97> I have no experience in partioning
[04:07] <chrisco97> lol
[04:07] <Derpian> Alright first make the extended chrisco97
[04:07] <chrisco97> Do it to the C partition?
[04:07] <Derpian> Make sure you check logical instead of primary chrisco97
[04:07] <terminhell> noooooo
[04:07] <Derpian> chrisco97 on the 80gb
[04:07] <chrisco97> Okay
[04:07] <chrisco97> One moment
[04:07] <terminhell> the unallocated space
[04:08] <chrisco97> It says it is unusable
[04:08] <terminhell> i dont think you can use an extended to boot
[04:08] <Derpian> chrisco97, take a screenshot (Print screen) and upload it to a site
[04:09] <Derpian> terminhell, yes you can
[04:09] <chrisco97> Okay
[04:09] <Derpian> terminhell, I am on one right now
[04:09] <terminhell> ok
[04:09] <Derpian> terminhell, I use one because I can make many partitions for folders
[04:10] <chrisco97> http://db.tt/3RUQXju0
[04:11] <Derpian> have you tried clicking add chrisco97
[04:11] <Diegosan> i think he needs to move that freespace to the end of the drive?
[04:12] <chrisco97> The Add button is disabled
[04:12] <terminhell> No, 4 logical partitions already
[04:12] <Derpian> primary* terminhell
[04:12] <terminhell> yes *primary
[04:12] <Derpian> Diegosan, my extended is at middle of the drive
[04:12] <Derpian> chrisco97, can you delete it?
[04:12] <chrisco97> What?
[04:13] <Derpian> chrisco97, can you delete the unusable partition?
[04:13] <Derpian> chrisco97, that would probably make it say unallocated or something
[04:13] <chrisco97> Maybe I should just not install Linux
[04:13] <RiXtEr> Does anyone have an idea on how I can see the kernel options if I don't have /proc/config.gz?
[04:13] <animus123> please help?
[04:13] <chrisco97> I do not want to void warranty or anything
[04:14] <Derpian> !best | chrisco97
[04:14] <chrisco97> The delete button is disabled as well
[04:14] <chrisco97> Yeah
[04:14] <chrisco97> lol
[04:14] <chrisco97> I do not really need Linux, so I guess I will do without it for now
[04:14] <chrisco97> Until I get a PC I can override Windows on
[04:14] <chrisco97> Or maybe, I could install it through Wubi?
[04:14] <romy420> HP won ... lol
[04:15] <Derpian> chrisco97, wubi sounds like a great idea for you
[04:15] <chrisco97> I love HP, but this is annoying
[04:15] <chrisco97> Yeah
[04:15] <Derpian> chrisco97, I recommend putting your partition back the way it was
[04:15] <romy420> they are all the same
[04:15] <chrisco97> Since I have no other option due to HP's methods
[04:15] <chrisco97> Thanks for the help! :D
[04:15] <romy420> do u have recovery dvd?
[04:15] <Derpian> chrisco97, your welcome.
[04:15] <chrisco97> Well, I will go now. ;)
[04:15] <Derpian> romy420, they usually do not give those anymore. they give partitions
[04:15] <Diegosan> check youtube for videos, sometimes some kid made a howto video
[04:15] <romy420> i know, u must create them yourself
[04:16] <Derpian> romy420, yeah you can with the partition.
[04:16] <romy420> but nowadays even this is not possible in some cases
[04:16] <IlikeMoose> cool, i killed the xorg process, and it automatically restarted kicking me out of run level 3 and throwing me right back into x
[04:16] <Derpian> IlikeMoose, everything all sorted out now?
[04:16] <romy420> if u can create them u can wipe the hd afterwards
[04:16] <terminhell> He has too many primary partitions
[04:16] <Derpian> terminhell, he could have deleted the unusable and made an extended
[04:16] <romy420> who would know if u needed the guarantee, u would reinstall windows
[04:17] <terminhell> nope
[04:17] <terminhell> he could have 3 primarys and 1 extended...
[04:17] <Derpian> OH yeah that is right
[04:17] <Derpian> or you could have one extended only I believe.
[04:17] <terminhell> yep
[04:17] <Derpian> HP is silly
[04:18] <Derpian> 4 primary partitions, clever clever
[04:18] <terminhell> sooo he's gonna have sack one of them =/
[04:18] <romy420> my toshiba is not better
[04:18] <romy420> same stuff
[04:18] <Derpian> I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 and Windows 7 puts 2 partitions (Boot and C:\). Lenovo put a Recovery. I have an extended for my Xubuntu install.
[04:18] <Derpian> Well he's using Wubi
[04:18] <Derpian> Honestly, wubi fit his description
[04:18] <romy420> i removed windows :)
[04:18] <Derpian> romy420, good on you. I need it for some things.
[04:19] <akem> Derpian, recover, system, data and ?
[04:19] <Derpian> akem, the other one is an extended with my Xubuntu install. Swap /home and /
[04:19] <romy420> Derpian, i can understand that
[04:19] <akem> ha ok.
[04:20] <romy420> so it boots from a logical partition?
[04:20] <Derpian> romy420, yep!
[04:20] <terminhell> im pure boot with Arch, but my partition scheme is simpler than most would like haha
[04:20] <romy420> ok
[04:20] <Derpian> romy420, has GRUB like normal!
[04:20] <romy420> i see
[04:21] <Derpian> I like Extended/Logical for GNU/Linux. If I ever want all my folders as partitions, I can do so
[04:21] <terminhell> i like LVM for some things
[04:21] <tchopper> I finally figured out that Unity 3D was slowing a lot of things down on me.
[04:21] <Diegosan> 4:20 8-)
[04:22] <tchopper> I switched to 2D and I'm not getting random freezes anymore.
[04:22] <L3top> tchopper: lspci -nn | grep VGA if you dont mind
[04:22] <terminhell> hurray tchopper
[04:22] <Derpian> tchopper, That's why I use XFCE
[04:22] <romy420> tchopper, that depends on your hardware
[04:23] <romy420> my desktop runs unity just fine and fast, my slow notebook ... not so nice
[04:23] <tchopper> lspci -nn | grep VGA gives me this:
[04:23] <tchopper> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [GeForce GTX 460M] [10de:0dd1] (rev a1)
[04:24] <Derpian> NVIDIA, there you go
[04:26] <tchopper> I was surprised to hear about Linux Torvalds flipping NVIDIA off. This notebook is from an Ubuntu vendor. I would think they'd choose Ubuntu-freindly hardware.
[04:26] <Derpian> tchopper, system76?
[04:28] <tchopper> Yes, System76. It's a Serval Pro 6. I got it about a year and a half ago.
[04:28] <terminhell> Linus has good reasons to hate nvidia
[04:28] <terminhell> and a lot of others too
[04:28] <terminhell> i watched that entire vid
[04:29] <terminhell> the hypocrisy being that nvidia relies heavily on linux to make proprietary drivers................
[04:29] <romy420> what is bad about them?
[04:30] <terminhell> that they then refuse to support the very thing that helps them
[04:31] <Derpian> romy420, what terminhell said ^
[04:31] <romy420> i have/had problems with ati too ... u say nvidia is worse?
[04:31] <Derpian> tchopper, I don't understand why they choose NVIDIA. Why not Intel? It's fine for what system76 aims for (Home use and some business use)
[04:31] <Derpian> ATI isn't an angel
[04:32] <Derpian> The only ATI I got working OOTB is one on my Thinkpad T41
[04:32] <terminhell> ATI used to be worse
[04:32] <Derpian> True ^
[04:33] <Derpian> we probably should be talking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:33] <tchopper> System 76 starts with notebooks from Sager. Most of theirs seem like gamer machines. That explains the high-end graphics.
[04:33] <terminhell> i think ops are sleeping, they usually interject a lot sooner haha
[04:33] <romy420> you're right, doesnt belong here
[04:34] <tchopper> Is System76 off topic?
[04:34] <Derpian> tchopper: only if we are talking about the cool new one instead of support with them
[04:34] <romy420> yesterday the updates messed up my boot and it has to with ATI :)
[04:35] <Derpian> romy420: what card?
[04:35] <romy420> FirePro V4800 equals radeon 5670 i think it was
[04:35] <Derpian> romy420 ah
[04:35] <tchopper> Right now I'm torn. Unity 2D doesn't have random freezez, but I'm notiicing a lot of missing features. It also completely messes up YouTube videos when you try to go fullscreen.
[04:36] <romy420> i always boot into black screen after install and also after kernel updates
[04:36] <Derpian> tchopper: why not try XFCE
[04:36] <Derpian> romy420: why not always do that?
[04:36] <Derpian> tchopper: is your machine a desktop?
[04:37] <romy420> do what?
[04:37] <Derpian> romy420: boot to Terminal
[04:37] <terminhell> or gnome-shell, kde, etc, tons of other options. OR go really geekcore and use a tiling wm
[04:37] <tchopper> Derpian: I'm using a notebook from System76.
[04:37] <Derpian> tchopper: the newest laptops for system76 dont use nvidia but some of the desktops do
[04:37] <Derpian> tchopper: that is what I asked
[04:38] <Derpian> also romy420: I thought you said you boot to terminal, not blank screen. sorry lol
[04:38] <terminhell> i do it
[04:38] <terminhell> and startx manually
[04:38] <paulus68> squid when I define in squid that for instance google.com is not allowed in the standard logfile but all these entries needs to be logged in a seperate log squid writes the same info to both files? any thoughts on how to solve this?
[04:38] <terminhell> when i want a gui
[04:38] <romy420> no, not to terminal. the screen just gies black. this is a bug and can be fixed by adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel boot options and then forcing LINUX_GFX_MODE in /etc/default/grub
[04:38] <Derpian> I don't currently. I'm using an intel graphics
[04:38] <tchopper> gnome-shell 2D was fine too, I tried that earlier. I'll have to give full gnome-shell a shot.
[04:39] <terminhell> goodnight all
[04:39] <judg3> Night terminhell
[04:39] <Derpian> night
[04:39] <romy420> terminhell, i always want a gui ... godnight
[04:40] <Derpian> romy420: Alright, what DE do you use
[04:40] <romy420> DE? pls help me out
[04:40] <Derpian> romy420: Desktop environment
[04:40] <Derpian> !DE
[04:40] <Derpian> wow i thought that shows the definition of a DE, haha.
[04:41] <romy420> ah ... now unity on the pc and gnome3 on notebook
[04:41] <romy420> :)
[04:42] <Derpian> romy420, what is the computer with the ATI
[04:42] <romy420> both :) i ofund that the firepro (pc) works better with the ati driver and on the notebook i just have the radeon module
[04:42] <IlikeMoose> IdleOne, thanks that seemed to work much easier although it spit out some errors that said i should file a bug report
[04:44] <Derpian> romy420: I honestly just recommend XFCE, not sure if you will have issues or not with the ati updates but I'm sure the chances are less
[04:45] <romy420> Derpian, i think it actually the boot issue happens way before that. i did not try xfce for a long time ... way back i did not really like it
[04:46] <Derpian> romy420: alrighty
[04:47] <IlikeMoose> how do you change the hostname for a system?
[04:48] <romy420> it just seems as if the graphics mode for the framebuufer device is not set correctly, because when i set the variable in the grub configuration it works just fine but some noob might find that not so funny ;)
[04:49] <Derpian> Anybody have an idea how much space would be taken up if I installed everything in the repos
[04:50] <romy420> IlikeMoose, the hostname is defined in /etc/hostname, you can edit this file
[04:51] <IlikeMoose> romy420, thanks
[04:51] <romy420> ok ... i'll go sleep now ...bye
[04:51] <Derpian> bye
[04:58] <paulus68> squid when I define in squid that for instance google.com is not allowed in the standard logfile but all these entries needs to be logged in a seperate log squid writes the same info to both files? any thoughts on how to solve this?
[04:58] <SteevB2> can you run a smaba server in virtual box then access it on the same machine. Im jsut asking because im messing around with configuring a server. So im running ubuntu server in a virtual machine

[05:17] <kanupatar> hi guys, I have a doubt on one driver build.I have a source file suppose  a.c for a device a and I have the make file for it to build to get a ko like a.ko.in the a.c , I have a call to another file b.c.my question is how can i build b.c with a.c to make it as a.ko ? I have the sample makefile to share you guys   a-y = a.o b.o obj-m += a.o make -C /linux-<IP_ADDRESS> ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-none-linux-gnue
[05:18] <Anon025> do any girls in here mind if i talk to them about their jeans brands alot
[05:19] <smallfoot-> Anon025, its the wrong channel for that
[05:19] <smallfoot-> what do you need to know about girls jeans brands?
[05:19] <smallfoot-> if she wants Citizens of Humanity, its gonna cost you a lot
[05:20] <tchopper> IlikeMoose: Make sure you also update the hostname at the top of /etc/hosts and when you are done, run sudo service hostname restart
[05:21] <magn3ts> Is there a *good* reason that usb-creator-gtk refuses to use anything but ubuntu isos?
[05:22] <Spectacle_K> How do I manually edit my repositories? Where are the repos located?
[05:23] <Spectacle_K> I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.
[05:25] <smallfoot-> Spectacle_K, /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:25] <Spectacle_K> Where is /etc located?
[05:25] <Spectacle_K> How do I get there?
[05:25] <smallfoot-> in the root of the file system
[05:25] <Fyodorovna> Spectacle_K, here is a wiki as well.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[05:26] <smallfoot-> $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list
[05:26] <smallfoot-> you can reach by running 'software-properties-gtk' too
[05:26] <RiXtEr> anyone know where I'd find logs for libnss_ldap?
[05:26] <smallfoot-> RiXtEr, perhaps /var/log/
[05:27] <RiXtEr> I don't see anything there right off... any certain file?
[05:27] <smallfoot-> no idea
[05:27] <Spectacle_K> My repo list is empty?
[05:27] <Spectacle_K> Isn't there supposed to be stuff written in there?
[05:28] <Spectacle_K> nvm
[05:28] <Spectacle_K> thanks
[05:33] <dru> RiXtEr: looks like the log file is specified in /etc/ldap.conf - add a directive like "logdir /var/log/libnss-ldap.log"
[05:34] <RiXtEr> dru, thanks!
[05:34] <dru> might need to specify a debug level too "debug 0" - some suggestion that not all the client libs support it outside of being specifically compiled for debug data
[05:35] <dru> heh, if that helps , you're welcome
[05:38] <paulus68> squid when I define in squid that for instance google.com is not allowed in the standard logfile but all these entries needs to be logged in a seperate log squid writes the same info to both files? any thoughts on how to solve this?

[05:47]  * audrianore shrugs.
[05:47] <audrianore> What time is it? :/
[05:49] <GirlyGirl> Hi, I have Kubuntu 12.04 and Windows dualbooted. I recently replaced windows 7 with Xp, thus grub is no longer in MBR, anyone knows how I can restore the Grub bootloader without a livecd. In w7 I could boot ubuntu with easybcd but this doesn't work on XP
[05:50] <smallfoot-> why u replaced win7 with winxp? winxp sucks!
[05:50] <ganster> hi
[05:51] <audrianore> GirlyGirl, unfortunately, you must use LiveCD, or LiveUSB to re-install the Grub bootloader.
[05:51] <smallfoot-> hi
[05:52] <GirlyGirl> smallfoot-: That's my problem concerning os's that I chose
[05:52] <smallfoot-> yes
[05:52] <smallfoot-> but winxp is going EOL (end of life) soon in a year or two, then you wont get any updates, not even security updates
[05:52] <GirlyGirl> audrianore: Actually there are things that add linux boot entries to xp's bootloader like Android X86 and even WUBI so it mus be possible
[05:53] <GirlyGirl> smallfoot-: I know
[05:53] <audrianore> smallfoot-, true.
[05:53] <smallfoot-> GirlyGirl, wubi doesn't boot a ext4 partition, it just runs an .exe file that loopmounts a virtual image
[05:53] <audrianore> Oh, you mean you want to add Ubuntu to Windows boot loader, right?
[05:53] <GirlyGirl> smallfoot-: I'm using it till then , after that I have a server 2003 license to last me till 2015
[05:54] <GirlyGirl> smallfoot-: By then I'll have fully migrated to KDE / Kubuntu environment for the stuff that I need Windows for
[05:54] <audrianore> GirlyGirl, that's only available if you install Ubuntu via Wubi.
[05:54] <Diegosan> i still <3 XP even tho its sucks
[05:54] <smallfoot-> Diegosan, the font rendering in xp makes my eye bleed
[05:55] <Diegosan> its good at 1024x768 :P
[05:55] <audrianore> Hahaha, the old standard resolution. :D
[05:55] <Anon615> this may be weird but i have crazy obsession with women in jeans especially certian brands is there anyone i can talk about it with
[05:55] <smallfoot-> doubt so, but i run 1920x1200
[05:55] <GirlyGirl> smallfoot-: Diegosan Enable cleartype and use Segoe UI font and its as good as w7
[05:55] <smallfoot-> Anon615, this is the wrong channel for that
[05:56] <smallfoot-> Anon615, u can pm me lol
[05:56] <judg3> Anon615: This is the wrong channel for that
[05:56] <smallfoot-> GirlyGirl, thanks
[05:56] <audrianore> Anon615, were you talking about your fetish? -_-
[05:56] <GirlyGirl> Anyways is there a small download that I can use instead of an Ubuntu disk for restoring grub?
[05:57] <GirlyGirl> I just need to chroot into the ext4 partition and I know how to do the rest
[05:57] <Anon615> yes but its easier to talk about in private with someone
[05:58] <audrianore> GirlyGirl, never heard of it before.
[05:58] <GirlyGirl> audrianore: Heard of what?
[05:58] <Anon615> sorry everyone
[05:58] <audrianore> GirlyGirl, small download that you can use instead of an Ubuntu disk for restoring grub.
[06:00] <Fyodorovna> GirlyGirl, you might gtry this to boot it then do the grub from the desktop  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[06:00] <Fyodorovna> try*
[06:01] <MackAsaga> Time to sleep.
[06:18] <brophat> anyway to have the dash not show all the recent stuff?
[06:18] <audrianore> What Ubuntu version, brophat?
[06:19] <brophat> 12.04
[06:19] <audrianore> You can do it from System Settings > Privacy
[06:19] <smallfoot-> yeh, i dont like unity, i think its dumb lol
[06:19] <brophat> ok thanks
[06:19] <audrianore> You're welcome.
[06:20] <smallfoot-> i install gnome-session-classic, then ubuntu is like 11.04
[06:20] <smallfoot-> or 10.10 or whatever, before unity lol
[06:20] <audrianore> Hahaha yeah, you don't like XP, and you don't like Unity, what do you like the most?
[06:22] <brophat> buitiful is that new on 12.04 audrianore?
[06:23] <audrianore> What, the privacy setting, brophat?

[06:36] <islandmonkey> BST it is 7:36 AM
[06:36] <audrianore> Oh, it's 1:36 PM here.
[06:36] <bluebomber> Is there anyway that I can change the settings for the ALT-PRTSC (takes a screenshot of the current window) so that it does not include the window's border or menubar?
[06:36] <Derpian> in the US, most people are sleeping right now
[06:37] <audrianore> bluebomber, no, i think.
[06:37] <islandmonkey> And everyone is just about to wake up here in the UK.
[06:37] <islandmonkey> Not of course, at once ;)
[06:39] <bluebomber> audrianore, the command I want is $ gnome-screenshot -wB
[06:39] <bluebomber> audrianore, I'm trying to hack together a custom shortcut...
[06:39] <paulus68> squid when I define in squid that for instance google.com is not allowed in the standard logfile but all these entries needs to be logged in a seperate log squid writes the same info to both files? any thoughts on how to solve this?
[06:39] <audrianore> bluebomber, okay. Do you have gconf-editor, or ccsm?
[06:39] <audrianore> Wow, he quit when I was about to answer him.
[06:41] <audrianore> bluebomber, okay. Do you have gconf-editor, or ccsm?
[06:43] <audrianore> bluebomber, okay. Do you have gconf-editor, or ccsm?

[06:43] <IlikeMoose> question, does anyone know of a good program to convert a .pdf to a txt file ?
[06:44] <audrianore> Wow?
[06:49] <beata> Right. I'm having an issue with firewire disks, pulled out an old liveCD to double check. Works under 8.04, worked once on 10.04 but generally fails; fdisk -l /dev/sdb: Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table. 10.04 with the backported 3.0.0 kernel ends up with hung kworker tasks.
[06:50] <scottj> is there a way to force gtk3 apps to use gtk2 theme?
[06:56] <paulus68> IlikeMoose: perhaps this might be usefull http://www.shibuvarkala.com/2008/11/howto-convert-pdf-to-txt-in-ubuntu.html
[06:57] <IlikeMoose> paulus68, thanks, just found that a few minutes ago
[06:58] <IlikeMoose> i should have tried google before wasting the channels time
[06:58] <paulus68> IlikeMoose: no worries
[07:00] <IlikeMoose> paulus68, do you read pdf's on any handheld devices?
[07:10] <nannes> Hello
[07:10] <paulus68> IlikeMoose: no sorry
[07:10] <namoamitabuddha> Is there any good music player?
[07:11] <audrianore> Clementine?
[07:11] <namoamitabuddha> Does it support for increasing/decreasing the speed?
[07:12] <deepspeed> I don't think so.
[07:12] <audrianore> Oh you were looking for that feature? Why not try VLC?
[07:12] <deepspeed> There are several music players, and there are also players that can manipulate the speed of playback.
[07:12] <deepspeed> like playitslowly
[07:12] <deepspeed> and some others.
[07:12] <namoamitabuddha> Does moc support that?
[07:13] <deepspeed> goggles music manager, amarok, banshee, VLC, and deadbeef are all on my system.
[07:13] <deepspeed> I find them all pretty decent.
[07:13] <namoamitabuddha> VLC is on my system, but I do not know the key binding.
[07:14] <audrianore> Open the preference, you can set the key bindings.
[07:14] <rajesh-purswani> hiii
[07:15] <namoamitabuddha> See, [ and ]
[07:15] <namoamitabuddha> just like mplayer
[07:16] <namoamitabuddha> but I cannot see the speed in the program.

[07:20] <saruji> Hey guys, about to buy a thinkpad x230t laptop and have a choice for Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN which one would work better with ubuntu 12.10?
[07:20] <scottj> Xorg is really fast for me in Ubuntu 12.04 with xvideo and xrandr working great, but when I use Debian neither of those work and everything is laggy. I have xserver-xorg-video-radeon/ati installed on both, no xorg.conf in either, and no fglrx in either, both appear to be xorg 1.11. Can anyone think what else might be different that I should check?
[07:20] <knytmare> Use English please
[07:21] <Jeffsi> Hello, I installed ubuntu through wubi but it gave me errors so i removed it. The grub part was left on and now I am unable to boot in to windows. When booting i am given a grub recover type prompt (i don't remember exactly what it was called). I am now stuck and unsure on how I may be able to recover the original MBR or at least get in to windows.
[07:22] <masoudy> Jeffsi, you need a windows dvd
[07:22] <geirha> Jeffsi: By remove, do you mean you uninstalled it? The uninstaller should've fixed up the boot manager.
[07:23] <timfrost> !en | andromedo
[07:23] <knytmare> Jeffsi: use ur windows installer to recover the boot.ini of windows
[07:23] <Jeffsi> I opened up wubi and hit uninstall (i think i may have done this wrong). Also the only windows dvd i have are xp and vista
[07:24] <Jeffsi> neither of which have worked (I have 7)
[07:24] <saruji> Hey guys, about to buy a thinkpad x230t laptop and have a choice for Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN which one would work better with ubuntu 12.10? anyone?
[07:25] <namoamitabuddha> saruji: Ubuntu 12.10 is not stable now.
[07:25] <masoudy> Jeffsi, search google about "how to recover windows MBR", it's a common problem. but I think you'll need a windows 7 dvd after all
[07:26] <Jeffsi> masoudy:  is there any alternative?
[07:26] <Jeffsi> i think my windows disks too scratched and will no longer boot
[07:26] <saruji> namoamitabuddha: sorry i mean 12.04
[07:26] <namoamitabuddha> Jeffsi: Use grub2.
[07:26] <masoudy> Jeffsi, you can use the grub to boot windows, "chainload it"
[07:26] <knytmare> Jeffsi: I cant recall since it happened to me b4 like 2001 ago :x cant remeber, u just need to fix the boot ini so i think, if you try to use any windows installer and use the start up repair
[07:26] <auronandace> Jeffsi: ask in ##windows
[07:26] <saruji> namoamitabuddha: or any other version of ubuntu from previous versions
[07:27] <knytmare> Jeffsi that should fix it, but you will need a win7 installer, so i sugget reinstalling ubuntu then fix ur mbr there
[07:28] <pnorman> I upgraded to 12.04 but it seems to of broken my munin server setup. There is no longer a symbolic link to the munin conf file in the appropriate apache conf directory. I tried running dpkg-reconfigure munin but it didn't fix it. Any suggestions?
[07:30] <Jeffsi> knytmare: to be honest i don't want ubuntu on my main drive anymore, ill throw it on a flash drive. For now I just want my windows os working again
[07:30] <auronandace> Jeffsi: ask in ##windows
[07:30] <knytmare> then use a pendrive :x
[07:32] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[07:32] <knytmare> jeffsi use a pendrive if you dont want to install it, then you can fix the mbr errors there, i no longer use windows except for gamin so i can recall how to how--but your problems seesm to be simple, use google to look any win 7 bootsec.exe file then or any auxillary of it then copy paste is to you win drive then problem solve
[07:33] <knytmare> *i cant --- sorry about the mistypes need to go now--- office hour is over :x
[07:34] <knytmare> jeffsi google holds the answer :x
[07:35] <dape8708> hello, well seems like i'm stuck with unity 2d on my acer laptop with intel hd3000 and GF108 GeForce GT 540M so ive read some tutorials online but i'm not sure its safe to go ahead and fall back to an old nvidia driver..

[07:38] <tdskate> hi
[07:41] <BotaniCar> i0m installing ubuntu 12.04 on a RAID+LVM  , mount shows me i have /dev/mapper/DIG--RM2B-root , but i can't instal GRUB on it, is there a way to find a suitable location for GRUB ?
[07:42] <Jeffsi> thank you for the help, i ill try to repair my windows 7 disk or ask a neighbor tomorrow
[07:42] <ResQue> does the standard 64bit ubuntu 12.04 LTS cd iso have UEFI support build in?
[07:42] <robertzaccour> Is there any software for Linux I can use to make Android apps?
[07:43] <aLeSD|> hi all
[07:43] <ResQue> i need to boot the cd from mac efi, so i can compile and install 64bit efi grub
[07:43] <day> robertzaccour: all you need is the right compiler
[07:43] <aLeSD|> what's the name of the app that monitorize the chashes ?
[07:43] <aLeSD|> I'd like to deactivate it
[07:44] <auronandace> ResQue: just so you are aware: efi and uefi are different
[07:44] <ResQue> auronandace: thanks auronandace, i am aware
[07:44] <robertzaccour> day, do you know how?
[07:45] <day> robertzaccour: nope. never wrote a program for android
[07:45] <ResQue> auronandace: the reason i am asking here, is in the last version of ubuntu there was a serious bug and i wanted to make sure that everything is ok and that efi boot support is built in to the default 64bit 12.04 LTS
[07:46] <auronandace> ResQue: i've never used efi or uefi so i wouldn't know sorry
[07:46] <ResQue> auronandace:  no worries
[07:46] <robertzaccour> day, I was hoping there was some step by step software creating tool
[07:46] <robertzaccour> something simple
[07:47] <day> robertzaccour: did you check this out: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[07:47] <ResQue> the dvd has nearly downloaded so i will have a look in the iso, should be a few efi files in there if it is
[07:48] <robertzaccour> day, looks complicated. I was hoping for automated templates with different layouts and easy drag/drop/text customization
[07:49] <robertzaccour> day, thanks anyhow though. I'll look into it after I wake up.
[07:49] <day> robertzaccour: im pretty sure it will take some time ;) programming isnt drag and drop :P
[07:51] <robertzaccour> day, yeah, but it would be nice to have automated templates like that available. I would love to make my own apps quickly and easily
[08:04] <Erwyn> robertzaccour: future is in web applicaton on mobile devices
[08:04] <Erwyn> go html5/javascript
[08:05] <Erwyn> with stuff like backbone/ember and so on…
[08:06] <robertzaccour> goin to sleep
[08:06] <robertzaccour> later yall
[08:11] <obakfahad> HI ?
[08:13] <rajumoh> ?
[08:14] <Guest2430> hi, i am trying to edit my sources.list, and its read only, I also have no option to change cmod or any type of perms
[08:15] <rajumoh> try with sudo
[08:15] <DJones> Guest2430: you need to use either sudo or gksudo to modify your sources list, so sudo nano .... or gksudo gedit ...
[08:15] <Guest2430> can I add a repo in terminal?
[08:16] <smallfoot-> yes
[08:16] <day> Guest2430: with nano :P
[08:16] <hydrox24> My canon MP640 isn't working properly, ubuntu can detect it over the network and i have drivers that I know work, but when I print anything, e.g. a test page, the job completes after a few seconds without the printer giving ANY indication.
[08:16] <Guest2430> ok, much thanks
[08:16] <smallfoot-> Guest2430, /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:16] <smallfoot-> Guest2430, $ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:16] <day> guest2430: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:16] <smallfoot-> I'll follow you and make a heaven out of hell and I'll die by your hand which I love so well
[08:16] <Guest2430> ah
[08:17] <Guest2430> i shall try that
[08:17] <Guest2430> thanks

[08:24] <xenarra> hi
[08:24] <xenarra> hilla
[08:24] <indigoferal> Hi, am encountering a very strange problem with ubuntu 12.04 on a nvidia card based 64 bit laptop. Problem is being described below
[08:24] <ResQue> when i try to boot 64bit efi 12.04 i get the error "error prefix is not set"
[08:24] <ResQue> anyone have an idea of what this means?
[08:25] <indigoferal> The machine is dual/ triple boot enabled - wincedows, linux os 1 and linux os2 -swap and a separate /home
[08:25] <hydrox24> ResQue: can you say at what stage you get this error?
[08:26] <indigoferal> it was running linux mint since the first install in 2010 - with no problems (64 bit version). A few days i tried to install ubuntu - i did this on the second partition set aside for a second linux os. This worked fine but it crashed the original install
[08:26] <ResQue> hydrox24: it is the first message that appears, so i am guessing the boot stage, maybe before the kernal boot as it happends stright away. but as there is no grub on the dvd it is hard to tell. nothing else appears on the screen before the error message (text or images)
[08:27] <indigoferal> Then i spent 10 hours yesterday trying ti reinstall with various boot flags and also trying to reinstall nvidia drivers and also trying to configure xorg.conf
[08:28] <ResQue> hydrox24: i get this error message when booting from the 64bit 12.04 install cd, i can happly boot the already isntalled 32bit version of 12.04 from grub no issues
[08:29] <indigoferal> nothing worked, every single time it would install succesfully and when i tried to login it would reach the login screen and after loggin in it would just flash back to the login screen. The xorg error was  Fatal Error "no screens found"
[08:29] <sophtpaw> hi
[08:29] <hydrox24> ResQue: Are you sure that the computer is 64-bit (I have made this mistake before)
[08:30] <hydrox24> !ask | sophtpaw
[08:30] <hydrox24> sophtpaw: Hi!
[08:30] <ResQue> hydrox24: 100% and i check the EFI version as well, its efi 64bit
[08:30] <ResQue> hydrox24: its a macbook pro, i used the ioreg command to confirm
[08:30] <sophtpaw> question: I'm running xfce on a laptop. I presumed that the lighter the window manager the less the laptop would have to work, which in turn, I further presumed, equals a cool laptop. Can anyone confirm this hypothesis?
[08:31] <sophtpaw> I previously tried kde and gnome and my feeling is that xfce is making this laptop run hotter than either and considerably heavier window managers, kde and gnome. kde seemed to make my laptop run the coolest. Would appreciate some feedback and advice - thank you.
[08:31] <dape8708> sophtpaw, could be but make sure you tweak power management settings anyway
[08:31] <fidel> sophtpaw: powertop could be interesting
[08:32] <fidel> sophtpaw: if you have some kind of hybrid gfx (i.e. optimus) - and dont use the powerful part - consider disabling it. that should result in longer battery & cooler device as well
[08:33] <hydrox24> ResQue: ahh, well I would be following a tutorial for your specific Mac model, they can be a huge pain, especially with EFI.
[08:33] <sophtpaw> fidel, that sounds promising. how/where do i find and disable this, please?
[08:34] <sophtpaw> fidel just apt-get installed powertop (previously uninstalled)
[08:34] <Taneb> I'm trying to get WiFi on my computer but the wireless thing isn't showing up in lspci
[08:34] <fidel> sophtpaw: regarding gfx - well check what gx you are using in the first place and if its a hybrid one
[08:34] <ResQue> hydrox24: guess i will have to look in to this further
[08:34] <Taneb> Advice?
[08:35] <ResQue> i cant even find a difinitive answer on what the error message even means, maybe something to do with efi variables
[08:35] <hydrox24> Taneb: make sure that the card is well seated, try googling for the driver (I'm short on time now, sorry.)
[08:35] <sophtpaw> fidel, yes, can you tell me how, sorry.
[08:37] <Taneb> hydrox24, the card is well seated and the CD that came with it has a Linux driver that doesn't work?
[08:37] <fidel> sophtpaw: no ... but you should easily be able to cover that first step yourself if you spend some minutes searching ;)
[08:38] <hydrox24> j
[08:40] <Taneb> I follow the instructions but it ends with...
[08:40] <linuxuz3r> how do i know what version of ubuntu im running?
[08:40] <llutz> linuxuz3r: lsb_release -a
[08:41] <Taneb> "ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up"
[08:42] <Taneb> Which errors because there is no device ra0
[08:43] <sophtpaw> fidel I type sudo powertop and get output, but don't know how to interpret it
[08:44] <sophtpaw> fidel, can you say more about optimus?
[08:44] <sophtpaw> hybrid gfx?
[08:48] <asi> hi

[08:55] <chroot> hi, anyone installed raid on ubuntu?
[08:56] <chroot> i am interesting with a single pc or laptop, can i install raid on my machine?
[08:56] <Tm_T> chroot: yes
[08:57] <chroot> Tm_T: is it possible install raid on my laptop?
[08:58] <Tm_T> chroot: you undestand what raid is?
[08:58] <chroot> Tm_T: a little,
[08:59] <Tm_T> if your laptop isn't having multiple hard drives, I'm unsure what you're trying to do and how I could help you best (:
[08:59] <Kpuc> Hey does anybody know the "alt+tab switch" bug in ubuntu 12.04? Is there any solution about this?
[08:59] <chroot> i heard it store you data on serveral harddisk, so you can retrieve your data concurrently
[09:00] <chroot> am i right?
[09:00] <InstantKrimson> how many disks do you have in your laptop?
[09:00] <chroot> one 500G
[09:00] <InstantKrimson> raid requires at least 2 disks
[09:01] <chroot> so , it is impossible to achive that
[09:01] <InstantKrimson> at least hard... :-)
[09:02] <InstantKrimson> you'd still probably get better performance with a SSD disk
[09:02] <DJones> chroot: Are you able to put two physical hard drives in your laptop, not just 1 drive partitioned into 2
[09:02] <InstantKrimson> and less noise and heat (can be a big problem with a laptop=
[09:02] <bindi> byebye batterylife
[09:03] <do> do I need to run an anti-virus software on Ubuntu?
[09:03] <DJones> do: Generally no
[09:03] <DJones> !virus | do
[09:03] <chroot> DJones: no
[09:05] <do> so you say that I'd be safe with a good firewall?(I have one in my router,but should I run it on the PC also?)
[09:05] <DJones> chroot: Raid needs a minimum of two drives, so if one fails, the others still have the data on
[09:06] <chroot> do: you don't need anti-virus, i use ubuntu for some time, and there is no virus problem.
[09:06] <hydrox24> blah
[09:06] <chroot> DJones: yes, is it a little faster when using raid than normal?
[09:06] <InstantKrimson> DJones & Chroot: or you use both disks to increase performance
[09:07] <InstantKrimson> but you are more vulnearble to disk failures
[09:07] <DJones> chroot: I don't use raid, so I can't compare how speed is affected/improved
[09:07] <chroot> DJones: I mean with raid, your data is distributed on several disks, so when retrieve your data, it is concurrency.
[09:07] <InstantKrimson> with 3 disks you can have both performance and reliability
[09:08] <InstantKrimson> 3 disks or more
[09:08] <chroot> InstantKrimson: yes, agree.
[09:09] <InstantKrimson> I have raided 4 disks, got a very noticable perfomance increase (from about 40 MB/S on one disk to about 90 MB/S with all 4)
[09:09] <chroot> InstantKrimson: wow!
[09:09] <chroot> InstantKrimson: you must have a server machine.
[09:09] <InstantKrimson> but if you only have 2 disks and make a RAID 1 (mirroring), the performance increase is barely noticalbe
[09:10] <chroot> InstantKrimson: yeah.
[09:11] <InstantKrimson> if you use RAID 0 (striping) you can get good performance, but if just one of the disks fail, ALL your data is lost (since half of all your information is on each disk)
[09:12] <chroot> InstantKrimson: the broken possibility is very high with raid0?
[09:14] <InstantKrimson> that depends on the disks... :-) In my experience, diskfailures are not that common if you only use the disks for about 3 years...
[09:14] <InstantKrimson> But if we contrast that with RAID0, either disk can break and you still have all your data(since each disk has a complete copy of all files)
[09:15] <||arifaX> InstantKrimson: there is also a problem with "old" raid5 disks. if one fails data has to be recoverd from the other disks. often (when disks are same age) the others have errors too and recovery will fail.so if you are able to mirror and then raid would be the best choice
[09:15] <chroot> InstantKrimson: understand
[09:15] <InstantKrimson> RAID 10?
[09:15] <NikoPoliakov> quit
[09:16] <||arifaX> ^yep
[09:17] <InstantKrimson> but you also loose 50% of disk space I think
[09:17] <InstantKrimson> but if it's mission critical, that can certainly be worth it
[09:17] <||arifaX> that's true and always have a 3-2-1 backup, too
[09:18] <||arifaX> 3 copies in 2 locations 1 offsite
[09:18] <InstantKrimson> yupp, never put all your eggs in one (RAID) basket

[09:22] <troulouliou_dev> hi where are the opncl libs in the repos ?
[09:22] <troulouliou_dev> opencl
[09:25] <ThinkT510> !find opencl | troulouliou_dev
[09:25] <chroot> hi, dose kvm support load balance in ubuntu ?
[09:25] <troulouliou_dev> ThinkT510, so i just hae the headers ?
[09:26] <ThinkT510> troulouliou_dev: not sure sorry, thats all the search brought up
[09:26] <troulouliou_dev> yeah thanks wonder where the libs are , maybe shipped with the nvidia driver
[09:27] <ThinkT510> troulouliou_dev: unless opencl is named differently in the repos then thats all there is
[09:28] <blackshirt> good evening
[09:41] <bouma> should i install the boot loader on sda or sda1? with win7 on sda2 and sda3. which is recomended ?
[09:41] <cfhowlett> bouma: usually just put it on sda
[09:42] <luko> hi
[09:42] <Church> bouma: with both win7 & linux i usually use windows bootloader to chainload linux bootloader from sda1
[09:42] <cfhowlett> luko: greetings
[09:42] <bcao> I ways put it on sda
[09:42] <Church> so that even if windows fsck up and reinstall bootloader in mbr (or sda in this case), i can still boot linux just fine
[09:43] <Church> try googling "windows 7 linux dual boot bcdedit"
[09:44] <Church> in general it involves geting with dd copy of boot record from where linux bootloader is installed in and configuring it in windows bootloader using bcdedit

[10:11] <feear> Hey all
[10:11] <PizarroNET> We are a small company with overseas branches. We ant to share files among us and with external customers. Is it possible to use Ubuntu Server Cloud to deploy in each office server so we all can share the same file system or something? Thanks.
[10:12] <incog> yes, hello
[10:13] <PizarroNET> incog: is there any document expanding this?
[10:13] <PizarroNET> incog: I've read all the Ubuntu Server Cloud page and features, but for me it is still unclear what is it for?
[10:15] <PizarroNET> hello again
[10:15] <PizarroNET> so is it possible?
[10:16] <DJones> PizarroNET: Its a bit quiet here at the minute, it may take a bit for somebody to answer
[10:16] <PizarroNET> incog: Judging by your last comment, "so is it possible?" I think you might be interested in this: http://linuxforniggers.us/download
[10:16] <PizarroNET> What is that link?
[10:17] <LjL> PizarroNET: how about not linking to such stuff
[10:17] <PizarroNET> LjL: It was sent to me by incog
[10:18] <LjL> PizarroNET: yeah, i figured. however next time please report stuff like this in #ubuntu-ops instead of propagating it here :)
[10:18] <DJones> PizarroNET: They've already been removed from teh channel

[10:42] <AdvoWork> fidel, so any ideas? its nautilis 3.4.2
[10:42] <hucsy> = =
[10:42] <fidel> AdvoWork: rephrase your question - and lets see ;)
[10:43] <hucsy> i am going to leave
[10:43] <blackshirt> why
[10:44] <hucsy> it s too difficult to solve
[10:44] <blackshirt> i'm too
[10:44] <hucsy> thank you
[10:44] <blackshirt> Good luck
[10:44] <Guest80119> its in the root directory i tryed i have used the following command: sudo rmdir [directory name] and it sayed directory is not empty.
[10:45] <blackshirt> you can't do it
[10:45] <fidel> AdvoWork: seems like you might need to use gconf editor ro enable a user-enterable path inside nautilus
[10:45] <fidel> at least that was the result of a quick search
[10:46] <blackshirt> guest80119, use rm instead
[10:47] <day> Guest80119: rm -r should work
[10:48] <day> Guest80119: just be careful not to remove everything
[10:48] <blackshirt> use with carefull
[10:48] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:48] <Guest80119> thank you day it worked
[10:48] <golden_fish> okay, i am here.
[10:48] <blackshirt> Hey blueskaj
[10:48] <fidel> Guest80119: just as hint - i pointed you to the man-page to avoid just blindly copy&pasting commands directly from irc
[10:49] <fidel> you shouldn never enter commands and dont understand at least partly
[10:49] <BluesKaj> hi blackshirt
[10:49] <Guest80119> ohk thanks.
[10:49] <fidel> so - a good way would be to actually read the man page - which should explain the basics of rm - and then if you consider issues with it - ask further inhere
[10:49] <blackshirt> hi
[10:50] <fidel> feel free to trust random ppl - but i wouldnt suggest it ;)
[10:54] <golden_fish> "stardict" software has no dictionary. i download "stardict-comn_sdict05_eng_arabic-2.4.2 (1).tar.bz2" but i can't add it to the software
[10:56] <fidel> golden_fish: it might help to write a small summary which mentions all relevant parts of your problem
[10:56] <fidel> not just snippets
[10:57] <golden_fish> fidel : okay
[10:59] <Nils_erik> hello, the integrated webcam on an Acer Aspire 7000 (AcerOrbiCam) displays the picture upside down in Precise, even when prepending LD_PRELOAD lines for either v4l1compat.so or v4l2convert.so; also v4l2ucp has no option to flip vertically as shown on the screenshot on this AskUbuntu page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126765/skype-video-not-working-after-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04 what other options do I have?
[11:01] <kurtwp_> can someone point me to a good how-to that will explain how to stream ubuntu server logs to a central syslog server
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> Nils_erik:  You could use 'webcamstudio' (not in the repos) and use its virtual webcam feature to do all sorts of neat tweaks and effects to the real webcam stream. :)
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> a little over kill..but Webcamstudio has a Lot of neat features
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> kurtwp_:  perhaps some info at -> http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/centralized-logging-web-interface
[11:03] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: I'll check that out, thanks
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> guide seems a little old.  for 10.04.
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Ive seebn other guides over the years on centeralized logging servers and even having the logging server be 'hidden' from the rest of the lan. (not sure how that worked) To keep it more isolated
[11:04] <golden_fish> fidel : i solved the issue , thanks
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> Nils_erik:  also a PDF/guide (not looked at it yet) --> http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/resources/white-papers/centralised-logging-rsyslog
[11:05] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: wrong person for the syslog thing :)
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> ;) History buffer is allready gone past the top..
[11:06] <Nils_erik> heh
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> http://www.ws4gl.org/  Hows that. :) WebcamStudio
[11:07] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: yep found it, installing it as we speak :)
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> i recall it taking a bit of twiddling with to figure out how it works. :) not used it in ages. but at one time  i used it as a virtual webcam to broadcast my real webcam with a news ticker, or other info at the bottom. :)
[11:08] <mtrg> why isn't aircrack in ubuntu's repo?
[11:09] <golden_fish> fidel : i have atheros wireless adabter, it range is too short, can you help. coz that not happen in win 7
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> !info aircrack-ng
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntu2.cica.es/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/aircrack-ng/
[11:10] <Hganavak> Can someone please link me to a guide on installing Mono or w/e the minimal Software possible is to compile and run C# programs
[11:10] <golden_fish> Dr_Willis : is this site for me ?
[11:10] <becca2> is a vnc viewer built into ubuntu?
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> becca2:  There used to be Vino built into gnome. Theres numerous vnc servers/clients you can use.
[11:11] <Hganavak> Can someone please link me to a guide on installing Mono or w/e the minimal Software possible is to compile and run C# programs
[11:12] <golden_fish> can some one please tell me why me atheros wireless in ubuntu only have low range signal ???
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. cant seem to find a default vnc client now. Used to be called Vino, or Vinigre.  I always use tightvncviewer or other vnc viewers
[11:14] <becca2> is there a command just to update the software repository listings?
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get update
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> updates the list of software.
[11:15] <root_> exit
[11:15] <becca2> dr_willis: thanks
[11:15] <golden_fish> Dr_Willis : do you have any idea why my wireless have a low range signal in ubuntu only
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> golden_fish:  Not really.
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> Sometimes the drivers are quirky. Id check the forums and askubuntu.com and the bug reports about your Exact wireless chipset/device.
[11:16] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: no dice :( the darn thing won't flip the picture
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> Nils_erik:  Hmm. I definatly recall flipping my webcam live stream all over the place.. the grandson loved it...
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> and dozens of other effects
[11:20] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: oh... there is a flip, but it's an horizontal one...
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> wow. that was too easy to install the .deb of webcam studio via the browser. :) click .. open with  Software center.. enter pass..
[11:20] <kristenbb> I'd like to sync two remote folders.  What other solutions do I have ?
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> Nils_erik:  you want to rotate it 180 perhaps?
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. Webcamstudio does not like my Java version.
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> !java
[11:21] <mtrg> did anyone answer my question
[11:21] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: might work... though if I need webcamstudio running in the background anyway just to get a correct picture in skype, that's not gonna fly
[11:21] <mtrg> i wonder why aircrack-ng isn't in ubuntu's repository. should i enable any?
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Nils_erik:  its a virtual webcam - thats how it works. ;0
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> Why has aircrack-ng been dropped from 12.04? - Ubuntu Forums
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CG0QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1892695&ei=6HcSUIWPMorpqgHhxIDAAQ&usg=AFQjCNGsScTGxtuCc-ErxkVCgsWb4VFjSA&sig2=A--jLs-3CMqbiyoqLw1I-g
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> silly google..
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1892695
[11:23] <mtrg> that's ugly from google
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> (From Debian) RoQA; unmaintained, RC-buggy, NPOS
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> it does seem to get added back into 12.10
[11:23] <mtrg> stupid reason imo
[11:24] <mtrg> should we also drop mixxx? because it doesn't belong to the dev team
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> Unmaintained is unmatained..
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> No idea what RoQA or NPOS means..
[11:24] <mtrg> ah, aircrack-ng is unmaintained by its own devs?
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> No idea. I dont use the app.. I just googled an answer for you. ;P
[11:24] <Nils_erik> Dr_Willis: thanks anyway, I'll just tell the customer his webcam is toast
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> The most likely to reason to drop a package I believe it is because of a dependency that does not get updated and stops the package from being built for a specific release.
[11:32] <habib> Hey everyone. after instalation of ubuntu i used it for like a week and then some day i tryed to start my pc and it said "insert bootable disk and press any key" i can't c HDD in BIOS and HDD led started to always be on. did someone face such problem?
[11:32] <Sculptor_> @habib
[11:33] <Sculptor_> please check HDD connection from cabinet
[11:33] <Sidewinder1> habib, Sounds like a hardware problem with the HDD. Maybe boot to LiveCD and run some didk utilities.
[11:33] <habib> Sculptor_, cabinet? what is it?
[11:33] <Sidewinder1> And that.
[11:34] <habib> Sidewinder1, i've tried disk utils and it can't c HDD
[11:34] <habib> i checked cables
[11:34] <habib> it's ok
[11:34] <zcoob> Hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 via FAI and it worked fine so far ( installed packages are "ubuntu-desktop", "unity", "unity-lens-applications", "unity-lens-files" ). however i don't have any icons in my top bar for logout and such. anyone know how to fix this?
[11:34] <zcoob> am i missing packages?
[11:35] <Sculptor_> @habib , where HDD is attached
[11:35] <ThinkT510> zcoob: what is fai?
[11:35] <habib> SATA
[11:35] <Sculptor_> ya
[11:35] <zcoob> http://fai-project.org it is called fully automatic installation
[11:36] <habib> i've changed these cables with new and the same problem. changed sata ports onboard and nothing changed
[11:36] <ThinkT510> Sculptor_: i've never heard anyone call it a cabinet before
[11:36] <zcoob> it's used to install multiple clients without doing much and administrating them from one server
[11:36] <habib> yeah i didn't too
[11:36] <habib> can it be ubuntu issue? or is it just hardware?
[11:36] <Sculptor_> then what u called it
[11:36] <habib> case
[11:37] <Sculptor_> cabinet contain all devices mother board & all
[11:37] <Guest80119> is this normal i just install iHRS 4.1.2 an when i link my mange page it displays this :Site update in progress. We will wait a few moments before retrying.
[11:37] <zcoob> habib does your hdd start, like does it making a sound as it was running?
[11:37] <Sculptor_> try 2 boot from cd
[11:38] <ThinkT510> Sculptor_: case
[11:38] <zcoob> if bios can't find it it's probably a hardware defect though
[11:38] <Sculptor_> or check from BIOS setting HDD is detected
[11:38] <Sculptor_> or not
[11:38] <habib> zcoob, i can't hear actually. Sculptor_ i did. nothing's there
[11:39] <Guest80119> is this normal i just install iHRS 4.1.2 an when i link my mange page it displays this :Site update in progress. We will wait a few moments before retrying.
[11:39] <zcoob> well habib, put your hand on the hdd and see if it's running or not
[11:39] <zcoob> if it isn't its probably broken
[11:39] <habib> :) oh sh
[11:40] <Sculptor_> @habib from BIOS ur HDD is detected or not?
[11:40] <zcoob> it's not
[11:40] <zcoob> he said that in the beginning i believe
[11:40] <habib> not detected
[11:40] <Sculptor_> the it is issue with ur HDD
[11:41] <Sculptor_> HDD must detect in BIOS

[11:45] <kristenbb> I'd like to sync two remote folders.  What other solutions do I have ?
[11:45] <ThinkT510> Guest80119: stop repeating
[11:45] <fidel> Guest80119: dont repeat and consider a more detailed question
[11:45] <fidel> Guest80119: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[11:45]  * Dr_Willis wonders if anyone else has even heard of IHRS befor now...
[11:45] <Sidewinder1> Not I..
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> we're here to learn....
[11:46] <Sidewinder1> :)
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> Seems its not in the repos..
[11:46] <fidel> kristenbb: why do you think rsync behaves poorly?
[11:46] <fidel> rsync is designed for that task ;)
[11:46] <inbitado34> Sculptor, ok
[11:46] <inbitado34> i'll try
[11:47] <Sculptor_> @ inbitado34 it works
[11:47] <kristenbb> fidel: rsync is fast because it compares files and only transmits them when required. However here not a lot of files are changed, but over a very large number of files. So it takes a few hours just to end up sending a few bytes
[11:47] <kristenbb> it loses too much time checking the whole folder
[11:48] <OerHeks> kristenbb, any OS will take a lot of time to copy a large numbers of small files, so it is not rsync specific. zip them or use a compression option.
[11:48] <Hfuy> Hello.
[11:48] <kristenbb> OerHeks: I'm not copying a large number of files
[11:48] <Hfuy> I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from a flash key as a test OS on some suspect hardware, using the procedure described on ubuntu.com "create a USB stick on windows."
[11:48] <xro> i'm i the only one that try to configure multitouch? is there some doc somewhere?
[11:48] <fidel> kristenbb: i agree to OerHeks ...your setup is the problem - not the tools ;)
[11:48] <kristenbb> OerHeks: only a few ones were modified, it's just that they're inside a huge folder.
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> xro:  checked the forums and askubuntu.com yet?
[11:49] <Sculptor_> @inbitado34 after make the entry in hostfile the u run the command /etc/init.d/hostname reload or log off and login again. Then check it
[11:49] <kristenbb> fidel: so what can I do ?
[11:49] <Hfuy> I've made the stick and tried booting from it, and I see a Ubuntu logo briefly, but then it drops out to a text display ending with "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" and an (initramfs) prompt.
[11:49] <Hfuy> Any suggestions?
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> how did you make the stick? did you check the md5sums of the iso/cd/stick?
[11:50] <inbitado34> Sculptor, i edited /etc/hostname, added:  localhost <IP_ADDRESS>  below (the host name) is it that ?
[11:50] <xro> Dr_Willis, i found some docs about ginn and mtdev... but it looks like there is no event when i use more than ne finger (ested with mtdev-test)
[11:50] <Hfuy> Using this procedure: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[11:50] <Hfuy> I'm not aware that I checked anything.
[11:51] <OerHeks> kristenbb, to and from what partition type ? ntfs ?
[11:51] <Hfuy> Looking more closely, this may be by design. I'm apparently in a shell called BusyBox 1.18.5.
[11:51] <kristenbb> fidel: no, ext4, but that can be changed if ntfs has a nice solution for that
[11:51] <Hfuy> "Help" produces a list of available commands.
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  try some of the tools from the PenDriveLinux web site.
[11:52] <kristenbb> OerHeks: sorry, this was meant to you ^
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  it dident boot properly. it dropped back to busybox .. so somthing dident get put on the usb right.
[11:52] <Hfuy> I have to say I tend to use windows to avoid all this BS.
[11:52] <Hfuy> This is really a great advertisement for linux - it doesn't even boot!
[11:52] <OerHeks> kristenbb, ntfs would give you less perfomance, ext4 is fine
[11:52] <Guest80119> I have just install iHRIS(Human Resource Information System) 4.1.2 an when i link my mange page it displays this :Site update in progress. We will wait a few moments before retrying.
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  its possible your CD download is bad.. so your generalization is incorrect.
[11:53] <kristenbb> OerHeks: it still takes a few hours checking the whole directory, just to end up sending one or two files
[11:53] <ThinkT510> Hfuy: complaining doesn't get you help faster
[11:53] <kristenbb> OerHeks: what other solutions could I deploy?
[11:53] <Hfuy> Anyway, the purpose of all this is to evaluate whether the ethernet hardware on this motherboard is bad, or whether it's a windows problem.
[11:53] <Hfuy> Can I do anything  about that from here, or should I try another approach?
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  Theres mini linux disrtos like TinyCorelinux (10mb) that can check that.
[11:54] <Hfuy> Euhh. If I can't get Ubuntu to work, I don't fancy my chances elsewhere.
[11:54] <kristenbb> OerHeks: just for reference, the folder is composed of a few hundred thousands files
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  or dozens of other live cd/recovery/hw testing disrtos out.
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> Hfuy:  your logic is invalid again..
[11:54] <Hfuy> I could put windows 7 on a spare disk#], but that'll take hours.
[11:55] <ThinkT510> Hfuy: if you are just testing it you don't need to install a whole-blown distro
[11:55] <Hfuy> I just need to see if the LAN port lights come on, is all.
[11:56] <Hfuy> anyway the size isn't really the problem
[11:56] <xro> So, it looks like Ginn is the
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> Gotta love it when people spend more time complaining then trying to fix their issue..
[11:57] <Guest80119> I have just install iHRIS(Human Resource Information System) 4.1.2 an when i link my mange page it displays this :Site update in progress. We will wait a few moments before retrying.
[11:57] <Sidewinder1> Hfuy, Maybe my Dells are different but my LAN lights stay on even if the machines are off; if there's a cat-5 plugged in.
[11:57] <fidel> Guest80119: you are still repepating the same over and over
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Sidewinder1:  i was just thinking that also.. or at least the router lights blink some.
[11:57] <xro> So, it looks like Ginn should be use to do multouch with ubuntu 12.04, right?   if mtdev-test show me event when i use 1 finger and nothing with more than 1, it ooks like i have a driver issue, right?
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> Dr_Willis  swearing is the only language that computers never fail to understand
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> Guest80119:  at least correct your spelling mistakes if you are going to repeate the same thing for the next 5 hrs. :)
[11:58] <fidel> please consider not just repeating - think why you get no answer. There is either no one available knowing a solution - or your basic question is unclear (which gets my vote)
[11:58] <kristenbb> for example, how does svn work ?
[11:58] <fidel> its impressive how hard it seems to even ask for help
