[11:08] <drewhhh> hi folks, I may have done a stupid thing, I was removing ruby and I did sudo apt-get remove --purge ruby*, as it was removing everything grub came up and asked if I really wanted to remove it, and I said no
[11:08] <drewhhh> then I did sudo apt-get grub-pc
[11:08] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[11:08] <mattwj2002> when is the new release coming out?
[11:08] <paperinoss> ciao
[11:08] <shcherbak> James_m: ls gives also listing by time creation/modification/access
[11:08] <mattwj2002> this month right?
[11:09] <mattwj2002> 13.04?
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> mattwj2002  25th
[11:10] <mattwj2002> nice
[11:10] <mattwj2002> anything cool?
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> !13.04
[11:10] <mattwj2002> thanks MonkeyDust
[11:10] <James_m> But is there an easy way to figure out what are the files on which the disk operations are being involved at this very moment?
[11:10] <mattwj2002> nice name by the way ;)
[11:10] <ymer> hmm don't you get a bit bored when you finially have installed and set up your system as you want it to be
[11:11] <ymer> and then there isn't anything else to do ...
[11:12] <barnex> ymer: the system is never the way you want it
[11:12] <Walther> When using apt-dater to remotely update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable". The apt-dater works fine with other servers.
[11:13] <ymer> barnex : I have done the update for the day and don't know what to do now :)
[11:13] <barnex> install xmonad
[11:13] <barnex> play around with your vimrc or emacs config
[11:14] <rymate1234> barnex: Eww emacs
[11:15] <arkie> use lvm with ubuntu installation?
[11:15] <arkie> not sure whether to select this or not
[11:15] <Guest54724> Hey ... just booted live from USB. How do I login?
[11:16] <Guest54724> desktop iso 64 bit
[11:16] <James_m> hmmm... it seems that there is a way and it is called lsof, but it is not very clear to me what information is included its output.
[11:16] <barnex> arkie: you probably want this
[11:16] <arkie> hmm ok
[11:16] <barnex> arkie: it will let you resize partitions easier later on
[11:17] <barnex> arkie: and you will be able to join partitions on different media into one logical partition
[11:17] <barnex> if you'd like to have 10GB of /home someday on multiple drives
[11:17] <ymer> right now barnex : honestly the system is as good as I want it now :) when I get the raspberryPI and my second monitor up and running then I got something to play with
[11:17] <kirankumar> hello
[11:18] <barnex> yup, someone maybe has two monitors and xmonad? I have weird issues with flash plugin and some video players online.
[11:18] <barnex> like embedded youtube doesn't fit fullscreen properly, but youtube on youtube.com works well
[11:19] <kirankumar> how install in ubunto
[11:19] <barnex> kirankumar: wat?
[11:20] <barnex> kirankumar: you want to install some software in ubuntu, or ubuntu on computer?
[11:20] <kirankumar> yes
[11:20] <bazhang> !install | kirankumar have a read
[11:20] <bazhang> !apt-get > kirankumar
[11:20] <kirankumar> sorry i want to install software in ubunto
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> kirankumar  there's the software center, to start with
[11:21] <Guest54724> I booted from USB and landed in desktop with "login" window. How tf do I now login?
[11:21] <barnex> kirankumar: launch software-centre, it's a kind of app-store for ubuntu, you can get a lot of apps from that
[11:22] <bazhang> kirankumar, read the apt-get message the bot sent you
[11:22] <kirankumar> where
[11:22] <bazhang> !manual | kirankumar and read this first
[11:22] <barnex> kirankumar: you might prefer to join a support channel if your nativa language - there are some for many languages - if you aren't comfortable with english
[11:22] <bazhang> !apt-get | kirankumar here
[11:23] <barnex> kirankumar: just type 'software-centre' in the menu that appears when you click the upper-left corner
[11:23] <adrianrh> Hi! Does anyone know how I can downgrade from 13.04 to 12.10? Some of my packages are not supported.
[11:24] <bazhang> adrianrh, full reinstall
[11:24] <kirankumar> freinds any antivirus is need in ubuntu for  virus protection
[11:24] <bazhang> kirankumar, no
[11:24] <bazhang> !virus | kirankumar
[11:24] <adrianrh> bazhang, DAMN, that is a full week of work with confiugrations..... really, no other option?
[11:25] <kirankumar> thanks bazhang
[11:25] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:25] <bazhang> adrianrh, correct. I hope you have a separate /home partition
[11:26] <smigo> so ... anyone with a clue on how to install from USB?
[11:26] <bazhang> smigo, with unetbootin or usb-disk-creator
[11:26] <bazhang> !unetbootin | smigo have a read
[11:26] <smigo> I dded iso image to usb key
[11:27] <bazhang> smigo, did you md5 the iso prior to that
[11:27] <kirankumar> freinds  i wantio change  permission my folder how it done?
[11:27] <bazhang> !permissions | kirankumar have a read
[11:27] <bazhang> kirankumar, please read all the many many links we have given you first
[11:27] <smigo> bazhang: no do you reckong ubuntu.org is compromised?
[11:27] <adrianrh> thanks for the help bazhang. btw, do you think  everything will be in order if I just wait for all the packages to update to ubuntu 13.10? after the full release on the 25th?
[11:27] <smigo> sorry .com
[11:28] <bazhang> smigo, no
[11:28] <smigo> I ended up with a login prompt in what looks like a gnome session
[11:28] <smigo> how do I login?
[11:28] <kirankumar> update manager not done work properly it long time to wait now what i do?
[11:28] <bazhang> adrianrh, thats hard to say. may be worth the wait, however, depending on how bad it is
[11:28] <bazhang> smigo, did you or did you not md5 the iso
[11:29] <adrianrh> thanks bazhang, I think I have to wait :(
[11:29] <smigo> bazhang: i didn't
[11:29] <bazhang> smigo, thats the very elementary first step in these situations
[11:29] <bazhang> !hashes | smigo
[11:29] <kirankumar> please reply
[11:30] <bazhang> kirankumar, all you have said is "not work"  thats not detailed enough by a long shot
[11:30] <smigo> bazhang: so your suggesting I have a compromised iso?
[11:30] <bazhang> kirankumar, if you wish to troubleshoot then you need to give us a very detailed description, pastebin of error messages etc
[11:31] <bazhang> smigo, a corrupt iso is a distinct possibility
[11:31] <bazhang> smigo, I would recommend getting the torrent
[11:32] <Walther> When using apt-dater to remotely update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable". The apt-dater works fine with other servers.
[11:33] <bazhang> !info apt-dater
[11:33] <smigo> bazhang: md5sum is correct
[11:33] <smigo> now what?
[11:33] <jrtappers> smigo, What is the problem?
[11:33] <hungovercholby> bazhang is a faggot
[11:34] <smigo> I'd like to instal ubuntu 64 12.10 from USB ... I'm presented with what looks like a gnome live session and login prompt
[11:34] <smigo> how do I login?
[11:34] <bazhang> smigo, what was the exact error when you booted from the usb stick
[11:34] <smigo> there was no error
[11:35] <kirankumar> i wanto scan a mobile it is posible through my ubuntu any software?
[11:35] <bazhang> kirankumar, scan a mobile? a mobile what
[11:36] <smigo> checking disk for defects...
[11:36] <jrtappers> smigo, Do you mean a GUI login or a CLI login?
[11:36] <smigo> GUI
[11:36] <jrtappers> smigo, User Name?
[11:36] <smigo> jrtappers: no username
[11:37] <jrtappers> smigo, try pressing enter
[11:37] <smigo> jrtappers: tried enter live/live ubuntu/ubuntu ubuntu/ live/ ....
[11:37] <smigo> you named it i tried it
[11:37] <jrtappers> smigo, Ok, Ctrl + Alt + F1
[11:37] <kirankumar> bazhang sir,my brother micromax mobile wanto scan  x560 model
[11:38] <jrtappers> smigo, Got a CLI?
[11:38] <smigo> jrtappers: yes but no login prompt
[11:38] <smigo> I tried that ... to add user with username/pass
[11:38] <jrtappers> smigo, What does it say?
[11:38] <smigo> I will dd image again just in case
[11:39] <smigo> jrtappers: says login error
[11:39] <jrtappers> smigo, Sounds like a bad copy, what did you use to make the USB?
[11:39] <smigo> dd
[11:40] <smigo> and I sync-ed after
[11:40] <jrtappers> smigo, USB or CD?
[11:40] <smigo> usb
[11:40] <smigo> lol
[11:40] <smigo> can you dd to a CD?
[11:40] <jrtappers> smigo, Try using startup disk creator
[11:40] <jrtappers> smigo, ISO is designed for CD
[11:40] <smigo> CDs are for 20th century :D
[11:40] <bazhang> jrtappers, the 12.10 iso is not
[11:41] <bazhang> smigo, iso are meant for usb as well as other medium these days
[11:41] <smigo> jesus .. from the 10 distros I tried this week I come to the one that hopefully everything will just work ...
[11:41] <bazhang> jrtappers, ^
[11:41] <rschu68> fuduntu is also nice :))
[11:42] <bazhang> smigo, I would give unetbootin a try with that
[11:42] <smigo> bazhang: you don't have a clue
[11:42] <jrtappers> bazhang, It was more that they are primarily for CD / DVD and that USB is secondary
[11:42] <bazhang> rschu68, thats fedora remix
[11:42] <jrtappers> smigo, Unetbootin or Yumi
[11:42] <bazhang> smigo, that tone is not necessary here. we are try ing to help
[11:43] <smigo> sure, sry
[11:45] <gustav> Tell me an easy way administrate kernels. apt-get seems to throw out or reconfigure it all the time.
[11:45] <smigo> "Most newer computers can boot from USB. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install Ubuntu or try it from the CD."
[11:45] <gustav> I want to set a 3.5 kernel as default.
[11:45] <smigo> Seen that, choose language, same problem
[11:46] <bazhang> gustav, you wish to pin the kernel? any particular reason?
[11:46] <bazhang> !pinning | gustav have a read
[11:46] <gustav> bazhang: Somehow I'm running 3.7 and I think it's the reason for my fans running all the time.
[11:47] <bazhang> gustav, is this 12.10
[11:47] <gustav> bazhang: Yes.
[11:47] <dodi> how do I configure the boot manager?
[11:47] <bazhang> gustav, so you dont mean pin. you mean downgrade to a lesser kernel
[11:47] <poisoned_dragon> how did you inadvertently install a 3.7 kernel on ubuntu 12.10?
[11:47] <gustav> bazhang: Yeah.
[11:47] <poisoned_dragon> Doesn't 12.10 use 3.5?
[11:48] <gustav> poisoned_dragon: nVidia drivers.
[11:48] <bazhang> !info linux
[11:48] <gustav> I think.
[11:48] <poisoned_dragon> Oh..... dang.
[11:48] <arkie> does anyone know if this problem still exists on ubuntu? http://www.grimsby.us/?p=70
[11:48] <bazhang> gustav, 12.10 is 3.5
[11:48] <arkie> im currently installing it now on my asus ul30vt
[11:48] <arkie> i fear i wont be able to switch graphics
[11:48] <gustav> bazhang: I see. Well, I'm not running a standard distribution then?
[11:48] <bazhang> gustav, where'd you get the 3.7
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> arkie  try and report, for other users and future reference
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> try it*
[11:49] <arkie> if not do you think that fix will still work?
[11:49] <arkie> i hope it does..
[11:49] <gustav> bazhang: You know how to check?
[11:49] <dodi> after installing Ubuntu I cannot boot my other systems any more :-(
[11:49] <arkie> also, what do you guys think is the better browser for ubuntu? chrome or FF?
[11:49] <gustav> bazhang: It's linux-image-3.7.0-7-generic.
[11:49] <bazhang> gustav, your current kernel? or how you got it
[11:50] <gustav> bazhang: What repo it's from.
[11:50] <bazhang> gustav, sounds like a PPA
[11:50] <gustav> bazhang: That's what I'm thinking.
[11:50] <gustav> However: Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:50] <bazhang> check /etc/apt/sources.list.d gustav
[11:50] <Walther> When using apt-dater to remotely update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable". The apt-dater works fine with other servers.
[11:51] <poisoned_dragon> Well, if you haven't deleted the old 3.5 kernel, you can boot to it from grub and remove 3.7
[11:51] <gustav> bazhang: Is there no tool to search. Must be millions of packages. o_o
[11:51] <bazhang> gustav, you have that many PPA?
[11:51] <gustav> bazhang: No.  Now you have to tell me how to make grub fall in love with it.
[11:54] <smigo> GRUB is over-engineered
[11:54] <gustav> How can you say that? It doesn't even run Firefox!
[11:55] <smigo> :D
[11:55] <poisoned_dragon> lol... GRUB is your boot loader.
[11:55] <cfhowlett> gustav, grub is a bootloader... of course it doesn't run firefox
[11:55] <poisoned_dragon> it's never meant to load firefox. teehee
[11:55] <gustav> Don't take me seriously please.
[11:56] <dodi> can it boot win?
[11:56] <gustav> No, but Firefox can.
[11:56] <cfhowlett> dodi, yes
[11:56] <dodi> how? grub doesn't offer me any choice
[11:56] <marjinal1st> hi, i'm running ubuntu server 12.10 with virtualbox on ubuntu 12.10 desktop. i'm trying to get LAMP to work, it seems working but how can i homepage on my ubuntu desktop? like localhost etc? (can't access with localhost)
[11:57] <marjinal1st> *open homepage
[11:57] <cfhowlett> marjinal1st, perhaps a question for #ubuntu-server?
[11:57] <Walther> marjinal1st: try http://localhost:8080
[11:57] <Walther> cfhowlett: -server is pretty quiet
[11:57] <somsip> marjinal1st: you would need to access the ip of the VM. Get it frmo ifconfig on the VM
[11:57] <mariop> hi, i have a printer problem, when i print a pdf on my network printer (lexmark t644) i get a page with printed "ERROR: configuration error OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice. How can i solve? (ubuntu 12.10)
[11:58] <gipzo> Hello. How can I start xserver (with xinit) on ubuntu server, without display?
[11:58] <marjinal1st> gonna try
[11:58] <somsip> !info xvfb | gipzo
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> gipzo  #ubuntu-server
[11:58] <gipzo> I tried to add mode with xrandr. xinit starts, but when i insert my display it's not showing
[11:59] <marjinal1st> thanks I a a lot, typed ifconfig, got IP and working :)
[12:00] <somsip> marjinal1st: no. Also, see !who
[12:00] <somsip> marjinal1st: *np :)
[12:00] <gustav> How am I supposed to set GRUB_DEFAULT when I'm in the OS, I don't know the number? It's in a submenu as well.
[12:01] <gustav> You're just waiting for me to Google. :(
[12:02] <rschu68> http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/XvfbSetup
[12:02] <gustav> Well, c ya.
[12:04] <gipzo> I have 4 tv's connected to my server, i need to always output video on them
[12:05] <gipzo> but when tv's are off and my xinit is restarted - it's not showing on tv's when they're back
[12:10] <joakimw> Hey guys. I know this might not be the right forum, but its my best bet right now. Is there anyone here who's been toying with raspberry pi's and LXDE? I want to know if its possible in the autostart config to not only open programs, but also to close them again? Since I want to get rid of chromium crash warnings, an easy workaround is to close it and open again. Is it possible to do that with LXDE autostart?
[12:10] <gustav> Ooowee.
[12:11] <gustav> joakimw: Well, I don't know what that is.
[12:11] <kirankumar> How to solve a "Input is Not Supported "   Before  Login Page Come?
[12:12] <CiSense> Hi ... sucessfuly installed 12.10 64bit with wubi, after installing the ATI driver, it wont start the desktop, how can I fix it?
[12:12] <TheHackOps> CiSense, Any errors
[12:12] <cfhowlett> joakim_, pretty sure raspberry has its own irc ...
[12:12] <joakimw> gustav: its just a lightweight desktop, that has an autostart configuration with the pretty simple annotation that goes like @program name to start a program. But i'd like to close one
[12:13] <gustav> joakimw: Uhm. It's a WM?
[12:13] <cfhowlett> CiSense, wubi is being dropped ... for good reason.  consider dual booting or virtualbox as workable and working options.
[12:13] <joakimw> gustav: nono, its instead of ubuntu, but this channel was my best bet
[12:14] <gustav> joakimw: Not sure what the problem is.
[12:14] <CiSense> cfhowlett, that's a shame I like the idea of not touching windows
[12:15] <cfhowlett> CiSense, precisely why virtualbox is worth looking at.  try it
[12:15] <marahin> rotflnah
[12:15] <marahin> virtual box sucsk balls
[12:15] <marahin> try XEN virtualizaiton :)
[12:16] <marahin> pretty simple to set up, and very (very!) comfortable to use.
[12:16] <CiSense> cfhowlett, I have an empty partition can i install 12.10 there and leave XP alone?
[12:16] <marahin> it also supports pci passthrough. ;)
[12:17] <cfhowlett> CiSense,  as it next to what you've already got?  if it's an extended partition, sure.  MBR has a limit of 4 logical parts ...
[12:17] <llutz> cfhowlett:4 primary, not logical
[12:18] <cfhowlett> llutz, grr.  right.  I keep inverting terms.  thanks.  cisense, take note
[12:18] <CiSense> cfhowlett, it's 2TB drive divided into 8 parts
[12:18] <cfhowlett> CiSense, so I'm guessing NOT mbr partitioned ... gpt?
[12:19] <CiSense> cfhowlett, dunno, i createdthe partitons during XP install with the standard tool
[12:19] <CiSense> how can I tell?
[12:20] <cfhowlett> CiSense, so long since I did this ...
[12:20] <CiSense> tell me about it :)
[12:20] <cfhowlett> CiSense, I think it displays if you select hdd through the windows manager and display properties
[12:21] <llutz> if it is Xp its most likely MBR, because only XP-64bit can use gpt at all and only for data
[12:22] <CiSense> chowlett, each partition is a local NTFS disk
[12:23] <cfhowlett> CiSense, OK, well, sorry, but that kind of talk is ... over my head.  ask again in the channel.  someone will know.
[12:23] <CiSense> llutz, ok yes it's 32 bit XP
[12:23] <llutz> CiSense: sounds like mbr with extended partition holding some logical drives. nothing special
[12:24] <CiSense> i can believe that
[12:24] <Walther> When using apt-dater to remotely update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable". The apt-dater works fine with other servers.
[12:24] <CiSense> so i can install onto the spare partition with the advanced option thingy?
[12:25] <llutz> CiSense: shouldn't be a problem
[12:25] <CiSense> llutz, if it is we may be chatting again :)
[12:25] <dzan> hi, i'm following this guide to debootstrap an ubuntu rootfs: https://plus.google.com/100386424363328269117/posts/RhdQmjz4gBJ i'm using raring instead of precise
[12:26] <llutz> CiSense: its always nice to have backups ;)
[12:26] <dzan> after following the steps basic packages are missing ( wget, curl, vim,... )
[12:26] <dzan> what am I doing wrong,
[12:27] <CiSense> llutz, absolutely ...
[12:27] <whoru_> Hi Guys
[12:27] <cfhowlett> whoru_, greetings
[12:27] <whoru_> while debating with few friends we have a question
[12:27] <whoru_> what is Linux?
[12:27] <gustav> xload looks like a pretty funky hairdo.
[12:27] <whoru_> an OS or Kernel
[12:28] <gustav> whoru_: Kernel.
[12:28] <whoru_> http://www.linux.org/article/view/what-is-linux
[12:28] <whoru_> this website says its OS
[12:28] <DJones> whoru_: Not really a question for this channel, you're betting joining #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss it
[12:28] <cfhowlett> whoru_,http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=linux
[12:28] <Kartagis> the OS is GNU/Linux
[12:30] <gustav> whoru_: Eh. It's not that interesting. It can be any.
[12:31] <DrGrov> DJones: Thanks for the help btw last night or two nights ago. Got the bug squashed that had to do with Chrome/Chromium/Firefox + Flash.
[12:31] <DJones> DrGrov: You're welcome, glad you got it sorted
[12:32] <DrGrov> DJones: It was a segfault of nvidia-current. Got nouveau installed, an upgrade of some sort to the original 12.04 nouveau and modelined my xorg.conf and disabled EDID information. Now it is 1920x1080 as intended.
[12:32] <DrGrov> DJones: Thanks
[12:32] <an0n> What is recommended size for root partition in ubuntu 12.04?
[12:32] <arkie_> Hey guys
[12:33] <DrGrov> an0n: I put 25GB for / . Usually I keep a minimum of 10-12 GB but bigger if possible.
[12:33] <cfhowlett> an0n, 10 should me more than enough
[12:33] <arkie_> I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, for some reason when i change the brightness nothing happens.
[12:33] <arkie_> Any suggestions?
[12:33] <DrGrov> an0n: But I have a suitable 32GB SSD for root so I tend to use it to full size only for root anyhow.
[12:33] <OerHeks> arkie_, suggestion: give more details, what laptop etc
[12:33] <arkie_> OerHeks: it's an Asus UL30VT
[12:34] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Regarding the root partition. What is preferred to use as file system for root? Does it matter greatly if it is ext4 or xfs?
[12:35] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, default is ext4.  unless you really know what you're doing and why, I'd go with that
[12:35] <an0n> cfhowlett: What kind of software is installed?
[12:35] <cfhowlett> an0n, ubuntustudio fully updated 12.04.2
[12:36] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: I actually gotta check what I put. Any nice terminal command to easily check? fdisk -l does it?
[12:36] <gustav> WindowMaker has a bug. Where should I turn? For real this time.
[12:36] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, du -H
[12:36] <aguitel> any tips to install linux in Acer aspireone 725 model ?
[12:36] <arkie_> cfhowlett: any ideas?
[12:36] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Ah, I remember fdisk -l from my yesterday xorg.conf adventure :) Thanks. That is useful to know.
[12:37] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, df -H   fingers have dyslexia.
[12:37] <cfhowlett> arkie, sorry, can't help with that one ...
[12:37] <arkie_> hmm
[12:38] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Ah yes, df -h I know. But ah, it is capital H. That explains why I just got a strange output.
[12:38] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, fwiw: fully updated ubuntustudio with medibuntu and restricted extras / runs 6.8 gigs
[12:38] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: fdisk -l does not harm anyhow? It just lists partitions?
[12:38] <Ben64> DrGrov: doesn't work on gpt, and you need to use sudo with it
[12:38] <an0n> DrGrov: Normally I use 10 gb, is it enough to install ide, kde, a virtual machine and some software? Making the system updates this space would be enough?
[12:38] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Okay, that is not bad. Then I might next time repartition my 32GB SSD a bit differently.
[12:39] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, ah, I should mention, my /home is in a separate partition
[12:39] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Mine as well. I have a 250GB for /home and /tmp.
[12:39] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, similar to my setup.
[12:40] <DrGrov> an0n: Yes, that is enough. I just had the separate 32GB SSD in use which I did not know what to do with otherwise.
[12:40] <gustav> Any suggestions if I want to make my Ubuntu a little "cooler?"
[12:40] <DrGrov> Ben64: I mean running "sudo fdisk -l" does not harm the current system in any way?
[12:40] <Ben64> DrGrov: correct
[12:40] <DrGrov> gustav: Cooler as colder or cool as pimped up?
[12:40] <OerHeks> arkie_, seems like an old bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/542296  maybe you can make this old solution work >> http://wiki.daviddarts.com/Ubuntu_Maverick_on_the_Asus_UL30VT#Scripts_to_Activate_Screen_Brightness_Keys
[12:40] <gustav> DrGrov: Pimp my Ubuntu.
[12:41] <DrGrov> Ben64: Thank you. I have a weak spot for creating havoc while having root god access :)
[12:41] <gustav> DrGrov: I already have the random keyboard colours.
[12:41] <gustav> I want to go Plan 9.
[12:41] <DrGrov> gustav: Ok, well to start with it depends what DE or WM you got. I pimp my system quite heavily always the first few days until it settles.
[12:42] <gustav> DrGrov: Yeah, well, I run WindowMaker.
[12:42] <gustav> Would be nice to try CDE.
[12:42] <gustav> That's what I really want.
[12:42] <blackshirt> i'm always encountered error with apache server
[12:42] <DrGrov> gustav: What specs do you have then? Perhaps we do the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic since this has apparently nothing to do with Ubuntu itself?
[12:42] <medwards> I appear to have borked my multi-arch setup in a fit of uninstalling i386 packages that I thought were unnecessary... can I get a touch of help? I just want wine-1.5 and i think I've narrowed it down to libgcc1:i386 being v4.7 but the libgcc1 is 4.6 :/
[12:43] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: What do you usually include in a partitioning? /, /home, /swap and /tmp ?
[12:43] <gustav> DrGrov: I'm on there.
[12:44] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, /home for my stuff, / for the filesystem and /swap of 2X ram, i.e. 8 gigs
[12:44] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, but that's just me ...
[12:45] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: Ah, I see. I should have also done that for /swap. Damn it. It is just 8 GB now when I have 8GB of RAM.
[12:45] <cfhowlett> DrGrov, lots of debate on /swap and ram... I just find that the 2X formula makes it a brainless decision.
[12:46] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: That is true. I had a old P2 466MHz with 128MB of RAM (upgraded to 192MB later) and had a 4GB swap.
[12:46] <wasanzy> hello
[12:46] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, greetings
[12:47] <DrGrov> cfhowlett: It sure does make it brainless :) I tend to keep 1X now. But if I had a older system definitely at least 2X, perhaps even 8X.
[12:47] <wasanzy> I want to create a different terminal profiles, each of them with different colors, how can I do that?
[12:47] <wasanzy> is possible in Gnome but is not working on xubuntu
[12:49] <wasanzy> so in the command field when I go to the terminal's property, I hv to add some thing like this: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile gold --zoom=1.3
[12:49] <an0n> DrGrov: The hard drive is 80 gb I thought I'd leave this way / 10 gb, 2gb swap and 68 gb / home. I believe that is sufficient space in the root partition to use programming software, virtual machines, GUIs .. How many gb ranks ubuntu 12.04.2 installed and updated?
[12:49] <wasanzy> the name of this terminal will gold
[12:49] <wasanzy> this is not working in ubuntu, please advise
[12:50] <cfhowlett> an0n, sounds reasonable though personally, I'd double down on the ram
[12:50] <DrGrov> an0n: Do not forget the /tmp I would say.
[12:51] <DrGrov> an0n: I can check my 12.04.2 as I am running now. I have installed quite some additional stuff though but for a bit of guidance.
[12:51] <DrGrov> an0n: I am using roughly 5.2GB as of now, cleaned up quite much though. But 10GB is definitely enough for everything you need I would say.
[12:52] <arkie_> Can someone help me. I've just installed ubuntu for the first time. It's all good but I can't adjust the brightness on my laptop...
[12:52] <DrGrov> an0n: Also do as cfhowlett says, double down on the ram.
[12:53] <cfhowlett> an0n, regularly running apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean will sweep out your cache and leave more room on the /
[12:53] <medwards> when I try to do sudo apt-get install libgcc1:i386 I get 'libgcc1 : Breaks: libgcc1:i386 (!= 1:4.7.0-12ubuntu2~local1~oneiric) but 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed' any ideas?
[12:54] <jrib> medwards: are you using oneiric?
[12:56] <an0n> cfhowlett: I could leave 15 gb root partition in order to have a spare, but do not like to stay idle space. The problem is partition so you have to do it again because of the size defined in the root partition ..
[12:58] <an0n> cfhowlett: How much space do you leave?
[12:58] <cfhowlett> an0n, I've got ubuntustudio PLUS medibuntu AND restricted extras.  My / filesystem is only 6.8 gigs.
[12:58] <Rahul_21>  hello i am acutally gettin an error whil installing mysql-server-5.5 .It reaches a point where it says "Setting up mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.29-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) ..." and it stays there forever
[12:58] <Rahul_21> can any1 please help me out
[12:58] <cfhowlett> an0n, and I assigned 16 gigs to / so yeah ... room to grow
[12:58] <cfhowlett> !details|Rahul_21,
[13:00] <Rahul_21> ubottu, I am trying to reinstall my mysql.....so for that i typed "sudo apt-get -f install".....its stuck on "Setting up mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.29-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) ..."
[13:00] <an0n> cfhowlett: Regarding the older distributions, Ubuntu 12.04.2 occupies more space?
[13:01] <medwards> jrib: 12.04, not sure what that ends up being
[13:01] <cfhowlett> an0n, probably not noticeably more.
[13:01] <jrib> medwards: so does "1:4.7.0-12ubuntu2~local1~oneiric" have no meaning to you?
[13:01] <medwards> jrib: precise
[13:01] <medwards> ah good catch
[13:01] <an0n> cfhowlett: Regarding older Ubuntu distributions, Ubuntu 12.04.2 occupies more space?
[13:01] <Rahul_21> ubottu, lol ,but please help
[13:01] <jrib> medwards: I imagine you probably have some ppa or unofficial package installed that's messing things up
[13:02] <medwards> jrib: Yeah I got a few
[13:02] <medwards> jrib: I'll tear them all and give it another go with win
[13:02] <cfhowlett> an0n, in my experience, about the same amount of space required.
[13:03] <Rahul_21> ubottu, can anyone else help me out
[13:03] <an0n> cfhowlett: And this space is how much?
[13:03] <arkie_> I'm having troubles with brightness if anyone could lend a hand.
[13:04] <philinux> an0n: Root on mine is at about 4gig. I usually give 10 gig to root on a new install
[13:04] <cfhowlett> an0n, my 12.04.2 ubuntustudio root fits on 6.8 gigs.  4 more gigs for /swap and 227 for /home
[13:07] <an0n> cfhowlett: Yes
[13:08] <mustafa_> I have installed bumblebee on my hybrid graphics laptop with nvidia geoforce but when I try to run application using optirun I get an error that bumblebee isn't running. Any ideas?
[13:08] <an0n> philinux: What kind of software you have installed?
[13:09] <dvyjns> I need some help installing nvidia drivers.
[13:09] <an0n> cfhowlett: How many gbs you set for your root partition?
[13:09] <philinux> an0n: well just the usual default stuff plus the restricted extras
[13:09] <dvyjns> Anyone?
[13:09] <cfhowlett> an0n, 16 for the root
[13:10] <an0n> cfhowlett: Yes
[13:10] <philinux> dvyjns: whats wrong with using the normal way of installing
[13:10] <joakimw> Anyone in here who has experience with LXDE? It seems I cant get my autostart script to both open and close a chromium instance
[13:11] <medwards> jrib: All my old PPAs gone (didn't find any likely candidates for this package) and apt-get update done - still have the conflict
[13:11] <philinux> dvyjns: system settings> software and updates > additional drivers
[13:11] <dvyjns> philinux, i recently installed ubuntu 12.04 and nothing shows up on "Additonal drivers".
[13:11] <jrib> medwards: pastebin: apt-cache policy libgcc1 libgcc1:i386
[13:11] <mustafa_> any help wih hybrid graphics laptop is  appreciated
[13:11] <philinux> dvyjns: whats your graphics card
[13:12] <dvyjns> philinux, GTX 680
[13:12] <medwards> http://pastebin.ca/2355763
[13:12] <medwards> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2355763
[13:13] <jrib> medwards: you have that weird version installed
[13:14] <philinux> dvyjns: try from a terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[13:14] <an0n> cfhowlett: Thanks for the tips
[13:14] <cfhowlett> an0n, best of luck
[13:14] <mustafa_> philinux: Could you help me with my hybrid graphics laptop please?
[13:15] <philinux> mustafa_: never come across those sorry. someone else may have
[13:15] <mustafa_> philinux: thanks anyway :)
[13:16] <an0n> philinux: thanks
[13:16] <robblue2x> mustafa_: what kind of card is it? I had an AMD 6630M in a Dell Vostro 3550 and the latest drivers from AMD worked
[13:16] <dvyjns> philinux, tried it. It installs "Nvidia X server settings", cant set my resolution to 1920x1080. Stuck on 1024x768.
[13:16] <medwards> jrib: correct, I've taken several approaches to removing it, but it persistently insists that I uninstall absolutely everything as a result...
[13:17] <medwards> jrib: do you know how I get the precise entry to have a higher ranking? I'm assuming if its 50 instead of 500 it will get selected instead of the local version?
[13:17] <philinux> an0n: also these days I leave home on root and now have a separate data partition instead
[13:17] <mustafa_> robblue2x: It's nvidia geforce with cuda
[13:18] <jrib> medwards: you can see the candidate for i386 is already the precise version.  I suggest try downgrading your libgcc1 with apt-get install libgcc1=VERSION (you can get the version from apt-cache policy output)
[13:18] <an0n> philinux: yes
[13:19] <medwards> ah perfect
[13:19] <robblue2x> mustafa_: Ah i haven't used a NVidia based hybrid GPU, but the nvidia driver is supposed to be quite good on ubuntu
[13:19] <jrib> medwards: note downgrading isn't support so things could go horribly wrong...
[13:19] <ggherdov> Hi all. How to know if package XYZ is installed on my system?
[13:19] <Rallias> I'm having an issue using lxc-destroy... "rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/lxc/rallias/rootfs’: Operation not permitted". What should I do?
[13:19] <medwards> jrib: is there an easy way to search for my weird local package version #? I know for example that gcc-4.7-base is also from the same PPA
[13:19]  * ggherdov what was that apt-get option...
[13:19] <jrib> ggherdov: apt-cache policy XYZ
[13:19] <robblue2x> ggherdov: dpkg -l | grep package
[13:19] <ggherdov> jrib: ok thanks
[13:19] <medwards> jrib: lol thats OK, for 4.7 its an upgrade actually :D
[13:20] <arkie_> in what folder on the file system are downloaded programs?
[13:20] <ggherdov> robblue2x: ok]
[13:20] <mustafa_> robblue2x: Ubuntu now is running on my intel card. How can I make specific application run on the nvidia card through terminal?
[13:20] <philinux> dvyjns: check your bios re graphics card
[13:20] <jrib> medwards: you can use aptitude's search (see its manual).  I don't know the right options offhand
[13:20] <arkie_> i need to copy a file into the directory of a downloaded program but cant find where it is
[13:20] <arkie_> are they all in the etc folder on the file system?
[13:20] <medwards> jrib: or I'm a herp derp, dpkg -l is enough
[13:20] <arkie_> or where?
[13:20] <jrib> medwards: true, if you can match for that ~local1~oneric string I guess
[13:20] <robblue2x> mustafa_: sorry, i've no idea, have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[13:20] <philinux> dvyjns: bios may be set to use onboard graphics or something
[13:21] <dvyjns> philinux, okay brb.
[13:21] <mustafa_> robblue2x: through addition driver manager or terminal? Because through additional driver manager it doesn't show me any drivers to download.
[13:22] <Pici> arkie_: packages are installed into a number of different paths depending on what sort of iles are being installed. Perhaps if you explain exactly what you are looking for we could help you better.
[13:22] <mustafa_> robblue2x: Do you also have any idea how can I see which video card my Ubuntu is using?
[13:22] <adamk> mustafa_: After you used apt-get to install the driver, did you reboot and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it was actually using the nvidia driver?
[13:22] <jrib> mustafa_: by the way, there is a ppa-purge application that does this downgrading for you
[13:23] <foobArrrr> printing problem: my printers work for a few pages, then stop printing. the print queue window shows "Printing ...", but nothing happens anymore. after reboot they work again, but only for a few pages. same behavior with two different printers (Brother HL-2030 and Oki B4100). Kubuntu 12.10 64bit
[13:23] <adamk> D'oh, I asked the wrong person...
[13:23] <robblue2x> mustafa_: that is strange, i've never came accross that
[13:23] <jrib> medwards: by the way, there is a ppa-purge application that does this downgrading for you
[13:23] <arkie_> hey guys, i installed a program called keepass. ive got a plugin for it that i need to drop in its directory. where can i find that in the filesystem?
[13:23] <jrib> mustafa_: ignore my message please, I meant it for someone else
[13:23] <mustafa_> adamk:
[13:24] <robblue2x> arkie_: "which keepass" will tell you where the program is, but thats probably not where you want to put the plugin
[13:24] <mustafa_> i didn't install the driver yet, I am going to install it now. But first I want to make sure I can run only selected application using the nvidia and keep everything else using the intel card for battery reasons.
[13:25] <dvyjns> philinux, thanks mate.
[13:25] <adamk> mustafa_: That's exactly how optimus is supposed to work.
[13:25] <adamk> Personally, I have no experience with it.
[13:25] <philinux> dvyjns: what was it?
[13:26] <dvyjns> philinux, onboard graphics. I turned off "IGD multi-monitor" and when i booted linux my resolution was 1920x1080.
[13:26] <mustafa_> adamk: Optimus is what's i run fter installing bumblebee right?
[13:26] <philinux> dvyjns: ah righto. is your graphics card built in or separate
[13:27] <medwards> jrib: haha now have to do it for libstdc++. I feel super safe (not) but its important progress. Thanks for helping point out my herp moment and showing me how to force versions with apt!
[13:27] <dvyjns> philinux, separate.
[13:27] <jrib> medwards: ppa-purge might be easier for you if there are a lot of packages
[13:28] <adamk> mustafa_: Optimus is just the name of that hybrid GPU technology your laptop uses.
[13:28] <philinux> dvyjns: ok anyway glad you're sorted
[13:28] <arkie_> robblue2x: I need to dump this .pglx file in the KeePass directory.
[13:29] <medwards> jrib: its not so bad, just 4 packages http://pastebin.ca/2355771
[13:29] <mustafa_> adamk: Ah, thanks :)
[13:29] <arkie_> Problem is I can't find the directory.
[13:29] <medwards> and I got a bunch of stuff from pgsql GIS related repos that I need for work
[13:29] <jrib> medwards: ppa-purge lets you specify the ppa.  But if it's only 4 packages, then it doesn't seem worth it
[13:30] <Rahul_21> medwards, hello please can you help me with mysql-server-5.5 installation?
[13:32] <medwards> Rahul_21: um... I don't know? Post what the problem is and if I can help I will, but if not someone else might be able to then.
[13:33] <Rahul_21> medwards, i actually want to remove it completely and then re insatll it
[13:33] <rschu68> arkie: in fc18 it is $HOME/.config/keepassx
[13:33] <Rahul_21> medwards, i get errors like "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:33] <Rahul_21> E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/
[13:33] <Rahul_21> "
[13:33] <medwards> thats not a mysql problem, you have synaptic or aptitude open somewhere else
[13:34] <Mr___Nobody> Hello , i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.04 desktop , it's hard to explain bacause i'm not english , but here is a picture ! http://postimg.org/image/iaxsvwq71/
[13:34] <medwards> Rahul_21: only one thing can use apt-get at a time, most graphical interfaces are using it all the time
[13:34] <magesing> Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up my machine to be headless, with a graphical environment which can be accessed via a running x11vnc server. I have it running if my user is logged in, however, I'm having problems finding the proper .Xauthority file for the display manager. Which display manager does 12.10 use? Where does it keep it's Xauth file?
[13:35] <Rahul_21> medwards, ok,can you tell me how do i remove mysql completely and then reinstall it
[13:35] <Rahul_21> medwards, please
[13:35] <medwards> Rahul_21: What command are you entering to get the error message you posted.
[13:35] <cfhowlett> magesing, #ubuntu-server
[13:35] <Rahul_21> medwards, sudo apt-get -f install
[13:36] <Pici> cfhowlett, magesing: xorg problems are not suitable for #ubuntu-server
[13:36] <medwards> OK, first off, you need to figure out where your other package manager is and close it. Then it should be something like sudo apt-get remove mysql-server
[13:36] <medwards> Rahul_21: ^
[13:37] <cfhowlett> Pici, OK ... thought the headless thing was the key
[13:37] <philinux> magesing: it's always been in the home folder of the user as .Xauthority
[13:37] <bmxscott1993> hi
[13:37] <Rahul_21> medwards, E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

[13:38] <magesing> philinux: hmm ok, so my user's .Xauthority will be good even before my user is logged in?
[13:38] <medwards> Rahul_21: You have some other application open that is making it impossible to use apt-get. Find that app and close it.
[13:38] <adrianpavone> Hey all, trying to install the gcc toolchain, but when I type sudo aptitude installl gcc-defaults it's unable to find the package. I have main as a repository in my sources.list file though; any ideas?

[13:40] <philinux> magesing: see this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteXHowTo
[13:40] <medwards> Rahul_21: ps aux will show you a list of open process, lsof | grep lock | grep apt might be useful to. More than likely you have synaptic open somewhere. its a GUI application.
[13:41] <Mr___Nobody> I know , but ubuntu 10.04 is the only os that actually works on this laptop , 12.04 doesn't work with my wireless

[13:56] <TheBronx> hi, I need some help. I think that one of my mysql databases is corrupted
[13:56] <u495> input and output ... it as always ...
[13:56] <TheBronx> mysql server is running, almost all databases are ok. But there is one that is not even accesible

[14:01] <TheBronx> thank you @somesip, the log says "Table './oneuser/sometable1' is marked as crashed and should be repaired" a lot of times
[14:03] <arkie_> So I just installed ubuntu and I've got a problem. I can't adjust the brightness. No matter what I do nothing happens. My laptop is an Asus UL30VT. It seems that some have fixed the issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/542296
[14:04] <Rahul_21> medwards, hey
[14:04] <somsip> TheBronx: so repair that table
[14:04] <arkie_> Someone seemed to add acpi_backlight=vendor to the kernel
[14:04] <arkie_> How do I do this?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> arkie_: edit /etc/default/grub
[14:06] <philinux> foobArrrr: you could try printing a doc from the terminal and see what errors pop up
[14:07] <izx> What is the terminal command to check firefox version??
[14:07] <philinux> izx: apt-cache policy firefox
[14:07] <u495> not my channel ... sorry ...
[14:08] <arkie_> ActionParsnip: i can't edit the grub file, is that where i'd add the code adding acpi_backlight=vendor though?
[14:08] <TheBronx> @somesip well, it seems I can't repair the tables, it says "The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair"
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> arkie_: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[14:11] <arkie_> ActionParsnip: after doing that i still can't edit the file.
[14:11] <izx> philinux: I have installed two firefox version but it is listing only one..
[14:11] <somsip> TheBronx: how are you trying to repair?
[14:12] <adminn> hello guys
[14:12] <adminn> Im kind of new to ubuntu
[14:12] <philinux> izx: have a look in synaptic  package manager
[14:12] <adminn_> can anyone tell me how to install the ati driver?
[14:12] <philinux> izx: how did u install them
[14:12] <TheBronx> @somsip I've used mysqlcheck --repair --all-databases -p
[14:19] <adminn> or a message that i need to install some other tools in order for the driver to be installed
[14:19] <CQ> hello, I have a USB drive that shows up in windows but not on ubuntu.. any ideas? fdisk -l doesn't show it...
[14:20] <philinux> foobArrrr: depends I guess. Not sure
[14:21] <philinux> CQ: have a look with the app disks
[14:21] <adminn> I need the driver because it works really slow, the PC
[14:21] <ggherdov> Hi all. I have a program (called tortoisehg) that just... disappeared from my system. Here I query dpkg to ask where is the baby gone http://bpaste.net/show/I0i3BdPZFn8jZwWnviWl/ , but I can't quite interpret the result. Can anybody understand/guess what's happened ?
[14:21] <CQ> Bus 001 Device 025: ID 059f:1027 LaCie, Ltd iamaKey V2 ... the USB device is seen
[14:22] <CQ> what do you mean with the app disks??
[14:22] <philinux> CQ: type disk into the dash
[14:23] <CQ> philinux: fdisk -l doesn't even show it, how is an app supposed to see it???
[14:23] <adamk_> adminn_, Is there a reason you are not using the catalyst driver packaged by/for Ubuntu?
[14:24] <adminn_> yes, the coputer is really slow
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> CQ: what file system does it use?
[14:24] <TheBronx> are you there @somsip? queried
[14:24] <CQ> ActionParsnip: fat32 i think...
[14:24] <adminn_> it used to be fine with gnome 2
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> CQ: when you last unplugged it, did yuo use the safely remove feature in your OS?
[14:24] <adamk_> adminn_, The catalyst driver from the AMD is the same driver as the one packaged for Ubuntu...  It's just packaged differently.
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> adminn_: tried xfce?
[14:25] <adminn_> but now when I try the latest ubuntu its not working right
[14:25] <philinux> CQ: did u try sudo fdisk -l and yes disks is a great utility https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Disks
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> adminn_: is it a 2000 - 4000 ?
[14:25] <adminn_> but I like the new interface
[14:25] <adminn_> 4200
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> adminn_: tried the legacy fglrx driver from the PPA?
[14:25] <adminn_> ati radeaon hd 4200
[14:25] <adamk_> Oh, you can't use the catalyst driver with the HD4200 on Ubuntu 12.10 without downgrading Xorg.
[14:25] <adminn_> dont know how to do that
[14:26] <adamk_> And possibly the kernel.
[14:26] <adminn_> can you guide me?
[14:26] <CQ> ActionParsnip: its fat32, and yes, I just re-removed it safely from win xp
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> adminn_: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrxCached
[14:26] <gianfry1> helo
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> adminn_: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx   sorry, dumb google added stuff
[14:26] <CQ> philinux: yes, of course I used sudo

[14:26] <ActionParsnip> CQ: does it show ok in Windows?
[14:26] <CQ> ActionParsnip: yep, just fine, with content

[14:27] <hfrsk> .
[14:27] <CQ> it shows in the lsusb as well: Bus 001 Device 025: ID 059f:1027 LaCie, Ltd iamaKey V2
[14:27] <adminn_> so I have ubuntu 13.04
[14:27] <adminn_> does that matter?
[14:28] <helmut_> hi
[14:29] <duke27HD> ciao
[14:29] <duke27HD> !list
[14:29] <adamk_> adminn_, Your GPU is only supported by the open source radeon driver and the legacy fglrx driver. The legacy fglrx driver will not work on 13.04 without downgrading Xorg and the kernel to much older versions, something I would never recommend.
[14:29] <OerHeks> adminn_, support for raring 13.04 in #ubuntu+1 untill it is released.
[14:29] <adminn_> ok, 12.10 works?
[14:30] <leo> hello
[14:30] <adminn_> i had the same problem with 12.10
[14:30] <adamk_> adminn_, The last version of Ubuntu where the legacy fglrx driver worked without any downgrades was 12.04, I believe.
[14:30] <OerHeks> adminn_, , ATI 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are not supported with the latest catalist, afaik
[14:31] <hfrsk> Can I hibernate on terminal process like dd if=/sda | gzip /out/blah/  for example?
[14:31] <wasanzy> hi no one to help?
[14:31] <adminn_> oh, so what can I do? only to use ubuntu 12.04?
[14:33] <adamk_> Personally, I just use the open source drivers.
[14:33] <widad> bonjour, y'a t'il des marocains par la?
[14:34] <adminn_> ok, so help me install the open source drivers
[14:34] <adminn_> can you do that please?
[14:34] <quem> adamk_: the legacy fglrx ppa works excellently on mine, 13.04, but another guy had a mishap with it last night (12.04)
[14:35] <adamk_> adminn_, They should be installed/used by default.
[14:35] <CQ> !ubuntu-fr
[14:35] <adminn_> of, ok, for me it does not work proprerly
[14:35] <quem> adminn_: try the fglrx legacy ppa if you're feeling frisky. :) just make sure you can access the machine through ssh in case things go awry
[14:35] <adamk_> quem, It's still not something I'd recommend :-)
[14:35] <Prateek> can someone help me eith an issue im having
[14:35] <adminn_> ok, thank you adamk
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Prateek  if you're sweet
[14:36] <Prateek> thanks monkeydust
[14:36] <Alverez> MonkeyDust: he's is Monkey
[14:36] <adamk_> adminn_, Use a service like http://pastebin.com/ to show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so we can at least be sure the open source driver is working properly.
[14:36] <quem> adamk_: heh. first time i installed it it messed up my system. but the guy was in process of updating the packages at the time.. accessed through ssh, uninstalled, reinstalled x. then two days later i tried again, been working excellently since
[14:36] <quem> :)
[14:36] <quem> but i was quite desperate.
[14:37] <Prateek> im having a problem connecting to wifi
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> !wifi

[14:38] <MonkeyDust> Prateek  that's probably the WEP key it's askig for
[14:38] <adminn_> I dont know how to do that, Im new to linux

[14:38] <MonkeyDust> Alverez  keep it in the channel please, i don't liek pm

[14:42] <adminn_> pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:42] <Prateek> I am trying to connect to my router on a Ubuntu 12.1 os and i get a message asking me for the key
[14:42] <adminn_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5698646/
[14:43] <Prateek> After I type the key the same dialogue box comes up with the key i entered on it
[14:43] <Prateek> *sorry MonkeyDust
[14:43] <cfhowlett> Prateek, if you have physical access to the router, you can manually reset it to default
[14:44] <adamk_> adminn_, Now run 'glxinfo | pastebinit'
[14:44] <Prateek> cfhowlett, i dont get it
[14:44] <Prateek> The same key works for my ipod touch, phone,other pc
[14:45] <adminn_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5698654/
[14:45] <philinux> Prateek: try this. click on the network icon in panel top right. choose edit connection and delete the wifi connection. Then add it back again when the system scans for wifi
[14:45] <adamk_> adminn_, Well, the log file and glxinfo both show that the open source drivers are installed and working properly.
[14:46] <Prateek> my wifi ssid is ptath1, in the wireless tab i have ptath1 1, ptath1 2 , ptath1, ptath1 3
[14:46] <Prateek> Do i delete all of them
[14:46] <adminn_> ok, but it does not work well, when Im trying to open the aplications dash it takes 5 seconds
[14:47] <adminn_> and if i right click it it takes forever, like in slowmotion to open the details
[14:48] <adamk_> I always just figured it was because unity sucks :-)
[14:48] <Prateek> philinux , same thing again
[14:51] <Prateek> Help Anyone
[14:54] <ubuntu631> hello all! can you help me?
[14:54] <philinux> Prateek: are u absolutly sure the password is correct
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu631  start with a question
[14:54] <adamk> ubuntu631: We can try, but only if you ask a real question.
[14:54] <Prateek> Definitely
[14:55] <ubuntu631>  after wubi extracted all info on hard disk it reboot computer but after reload and choosing "ubuntu" it stuck
[14:55] <ubuntu631> after one more reload it loads grub . and nothing happens . what to do?
[14:55] <fuuf> Wtf is ubuntu-nl for shit men!
[14:55] <cfhowlett> !language|fuuf,
[14:55] <wonko451> yay finally the right place to ask ubuntu questions!
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu631  remove wubi, install ubuntu on its own partition, be happy
[14:55] <philinux> Prateek: you could try changing the channel on the router
[14:56] <Prateek> How do i do that
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> fuuf  type /join #ubuntu-nl-offtopic to find out
[14:56] <wonko451> I've got a few things about lvm and clustering for vooume groups
[14:56] <philinux> Prateek:  could be interference
[14:56] <ubuntu631> i cant install it from usb. computer so old that cant do it. i can only from hard disc
[14:56] <wonko451> volume even
[14:56] <fuuf> ubottu: sorry i´m just a bit angry on that ******* in there
[14:56] <wN> wonko451: el oh el
[14:56] <fuuf> ubottu: haha
[14:57] <wN> wonko451: you could always try #lvm and #linux-ha  or #linux-cluster xD
[14:57] <Prateek> Im using the same ssid with the same password right now on a different computer, philinux
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu631  instal from live cd -- where did you find wubi?
[14:57] <ubuntu631> i found it on ubuntu.ru
[14:57] <cfhowlett> ubuntu.ru?  sounds legit ...
[14:57] <wonko451> not that type of cluster
[14:58] <fuuf> OMG
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> fuuf  stop
[14:58] <wonko451> i'm talking more of a software raid
[14:58] <philinux> Prateek: you could try looking at some of these solutions. https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gl=uk&redir_esc=&ei=YM5mUbHPCIrJ0QWOx4G4Dg#client=ubuntu&hs=sxe&channel=fs&gl=uk&sclient=psy-ab&q=ubuntu+wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&oq=ubuntu+wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&gs_l=serp.3...4625.5755.0.6<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.689.4j3.7.0...0.0...1c.1.8.psy-ab.rzztAQJQu-

[14:58] <cfhowlett> !tiny
[14:58] <wonko451>  like software raid 1
[14:59] <wonko451> and i thought LVM could accomplish this with its clustering feature
[14:59] <ubuntu631> how to install ubuntu from hard disk if not to use cd-disk or usb disk?
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> !install | ubuntu631 start here
[14:59] <wonko451> and not trying to do it on a boot drive, on a data drive
[15:00] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu631  or type /join #ubuntu-ru
[15:00] <Prateek> i looked at most of those forums before coming here
[15:00] <wonko451> but i got a weird error message last night attempting it
[15:00] <wonko451> In order for Volume Group to be safely used in clustered environment, lvm2-cluster rpm has to be installed, `lvmconf --enable-cluster` has to be executed and clvmd service has to be running
[15:00] <ubuntu631> #ubuntu-ru Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[15:00] <wonko451> why would ubuntu ask for an RPM to be installed?
[15:00] <fuuf> Hey herby are you dutch?
 I looked at most of those forums before coming here
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> fuuf  ik ben nederlandstalig, gedraag je of ga naar een ander IRC kanaal
[15:01] <bipul> Prateek: What's you'r problem ?
[15:01] <fuuf> MonkeyDust: is goed was alleen net gekloot op ubuntu-nl
[15:02] <Prateek> bipul, Trying to connect to wifi on ubuntu 12.10 but every ten seconds i keep getting a dialog box askinueg me for the key
[15:02] <Smidthmador> Hello
[15:03] <bipul> Prateek: Key? what kind of key it is asking for ? can you past
[15:03] <Smidthmador> I have a quick question if anyone is on.
[15:03] <Prateek> wep key
[15:03] <DJones> !ask | Smidthmador
[15:03] <wonko451> @Prateek hardwire your box and check if you can connect, if so, then check your wireless drivers and wireless chipset
[15:04] <Prateek> mines a dektop and the modems in another room
[15:04] <bipul> can you explain the whole scenario how are you connecting you wifi with ubuntu ?
[15:04] <philinux> Prateek: you could try deleting the two files in .local/share/keyrings/ folder
[15:04] <Prateek> how do i acess the .local
[15:04] <philinux> Prateek: I would have a look in there first there maybe more than 2
[15:04] <wonko451> Why would ubuntu ask for a RPM to be installed when attempting to use LVM clustering as a software raid 1 equivilent? ( error message: In order for Volume Group to be safely used in clustered environment, lvm2-cluster rpm has to be installed, `lvmconf --enable-cluster` has to be executed and clvmd service has to be running)
[15:05] <philinux> Prateek: use the file manager to go to your home directory and the ctrl h to show the hidden files
[15:06] <Smidthmador> I followed the instructions on ubuntu.org to burn and install the os.  I put the dvd in, rebooted and it kinda started to load windows but then I got a black screen n had to restart.  Then it said failed to restart n i had to sys restore.
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> wonko451  first thing on my mind: you somehow have non-ubuntu sources
[15:06] <wonko451> nopers blank default install
[15:06] <anew> if i want to make a file 755, what do i need to make the folders it resides in?
[15:06] <Prateek> There are three files login.keyring, user.keystore and user.keystore. UYDDVW
[15:06] <wonko451> used ubuntu software store and installed LVM gui and synaptic, and thats it
[15:07] <Prateek> Should i delete all of them , philinux
[15:07] <philinux> Prateek: whats in there how many files
[15:07] <fuuf> 5
[15:08] <Prateek> My previous message has the answer
[15:08] <Prateek> Three files
[15:08] <Prateek> Login.keyring
[15:08] <Prateek> user.keysore
[15:08] <Prateek> user.keystore.UYDDVW
[15:08] <philinux> Prateek: yes delete all and delete all the wifi connection. In other words this start the process from scratch
[15:09] <Prateek> what to do after deleting
[15:09] <philinux> Prateek: if this does not solve problem then I'm out of ideas
[15:09] <philinux> Prateek: reconnect to wifi and it then restore the passowrd in the keyring folder
[15:11] <Prateek> Fingers Crossed, philinux
[15:12] <Pici> !floodbots | bluesun
[15:12] <Prateek> Unfortunately it asks for the password again
[15:12] <fuuf> griep
[15:13] <Smidthmador> Does anyone know what happened to me?  I don't want to get lost in the flood..
[15:13] <Prateek> philinux, it wa unsuccessful

[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: try disabling ipv6 with the boot option:  ipv6.disable=1
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: I assume you don't use ipv6
[15:14] <Prateek> i dont know what ipv6 is
[15:15] <Prateek> ActionParsnip, i dont know what ipv6 is
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: normally people use IPs like <IP_ADDRESS> this is an IPv4 address
[15:16] <Prateek> ok, ActionParsnip
[15:16] <anew> if i want to make a file 755, what do i need to make the folders it resides in?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: in the future addresses will be: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
[15:17] <Prateek> i think i use ipv4
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: yes, more than likely, you can disable ipv6 and it can help
[15:17] <KBuris> Hi, everyone.   I have never used Linux before except via LiveCD for portability and short-term security. Is there any way I can install, say, Ubuntu, in such a way that she will be able to retain the NTFS structure, so that her drives show up the way they would in FAT/NTFS?
[15:17] <Prateek> How do i disable
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> KBuris: resize the NTFS in WIndows, then install to the freed space
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1    as I said earlier...
[15:18] <Prateek> how?
[15:18] <leptone> !ticker
[15:18] <philinux> Prateek: is this a laptop
[15:18] <Bumptious> Kburis, do you need the drives to show up a C:\ and such?
[15:18] <leptone> sry
[15:18] <Prateek> no a desktop
[15:19] <Prateek> philinux, its a desktop
[15:19] <Smidthmador> What did I do wrong? I followed the instructions on ubuntu.org to burn and install the os.  I put the dvd in, rebooted and it kinda started to load windows but then I got a black screen n had to restart.  Then it said failed to restart n i had to sys restore.
[15:19] <philinux> Prateek: I would change the router channel number in case it's interference
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: change the line with:  quiet splash    in quotes to be:  quiet splash ipv6.disable=1    save the new file and run: sudo update-grub
[15:20] <KBuris> Bumptious: Yes, because I want my mother to feel comfortable in the OS, and she's been using DOS/Windows since the late\ '80s.
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Prateek: a very simple websearch would have shown you that
[15:21] <Prateek> ActionParsnip, Sorry i was a bit lazy but now i have a file opened
[15:22] <Bumptious> KBuris: I don't think there is a real way to do that.  It might suffice to place a link on the desktop that kind of looks like the C drive named something like "C drive" and she can find her old files.
[15:22] <Prateek> philinux, If i go into <IP_ADDRESS> in the browser i can change the channel right?
[15:22] <philinux> Prateek: sample method here if ipv6 fix fails. http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/how-to-get-the-best-wi-fi-signal-from-your-router-50005751/
[15:22] <Bumptious> and perhaps she can transition to getting used to a linux home directory
[15:23] <philinux> Prateek: yes you need to login to the router. Better from a wired machine
[15:23] <Prateek> philinux, mine is a desktop
[15:23] <KBuris> Bumptious: Most of what she needs is Firefox, OpenOffice.Org, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and a simple way to manage her files in a structure that's relatively understandable (with as little console use as possible, though last I checked, she's relatively amenable to using the CD\ command - if she knows what directory she's checking.
[15:24] <carlos_> can i help me with postgresql?
[15:24] <Bumptious> it might help to setup her shell so that the full path, or full relative path always displays, and setup some nice large font with easily readable colors
[15:24] <zingaboy> I have a usb modem to connect to the internet on my laptop. I am trying to get my desktop get this internet access using a crossover cable. How do I go about it ?
[15:25] <KBuris> Okay, how do I make her flash drive automatically pop up like that?  It's formatted with FAT32 right now, so that part shouldn't be an issue.

[15:26] <KBuris> Bumptious: Oh, yeah, that's definitely going to be a perk.   :-P
[15:26] <zingaboy> ubottu : I tried that, but I am unable to connect.  I have a wired connection which is "shared to other computers"
[15:26] <zingaboy> ubottu: oh ok :)

[15:31] <carlos_> anyone can help me to resolve code postgresql?
[15:31] <compdoc> in /var/log/syslog
[15:33] <Bumptious> KBuris: no problem.  I'm going to be setting up ubuntu for some family members.  I think it's just about as easy to use these days, more because most users can use a browser for the entire computer experience
[15:33] <compdoc> anew, read about enabling the log:    http://askubuntu.com/questions/56683/where-is-the-cron-crontab-log
[15:33] <anew> compdoc what do these messages mean ?

[15:58] <Bumptious> I like to imagine that an alien attack fleet is headed towards earth but it will take them hundreds of years to arrive.  In the mean time, they are able to connect to our internet and for some reason join IRC channels and learn our technology and assist in technical questions out of boredom
[15:59] <bazhang> Bumptious, wrong channel
[16:01] <Pinkamena_D> Recently I have been having a problem where nothing is auto mounting. USB flash drives, Sd cards, CD/DVDs, I can mount then manually with MOUNT, but the will not pop up in the sidebar like they used to.

[16:06] <ackbahr> Hi! Where can I get help about setting up my home network?
[16:06] <seednode> Well, assuming you're running Ubuntu, here
[16:07] <Bumptious> Are there any signs that aliens have contributed to ubuntu?
[16:07] <bazhang> !ot | Bumptious
[16:07] <ackbahr> seednode: It's more related to routers, hardware...
[16:08] <seednode> Hm... ##hardware doesn't really like networking questions, but you can try anyways
[16:08] <seednode> Oh, and of course ##networking
[16:08] <seednode> Might be where you want to go
[16:08] <niel> hey guys im having a big problem im on a toshiba techra while installing unbuntu it replaced windows and all the restore guides dont help whevever I press f8 on start it opens unbuntu
[16:08] <ackbahr> seednode: Thank you!

[16:09] <seednode> Other than that, I mean
[16:09] <niel> not really
[16:10] <seednode> Did you select "Install alongside", or "use entire disk"?
[16:10] <niel> thats the ting
[16:10] <Ampersand_> hi all, i have a question: everytime i try to install virtualbox on ubuntu 12.04 (from the official repository), i get a "System program problem detected" error. Apparently it's related to a package virtualbox-dkms. Is there any solution to this? thanks in advance for your answers!
[16:11] <niel> I chose along side but then when Unbuntu unstalled it broke windows and Then the only choice was to replace it
[16:11] <niel> I want to resore my computer then use the windows installer to use it
[16:12] <niel> All the websites tell me to hold f8 on start and it will guide me but it beeps for a few seconds the Unbunti starts
[16:12] <cgade> sss
[16:12] <Xyntral> Time in this channel: 2 minutes.
[16:12] <niel> is their any way to not have it auto boot on start?
[16:12] <Xyntral> Amount of variations of 'Ubuntu' seen:
[16:12] <Xyntral> 2
[16:13] <bazhang> Xyntral, no need to say that
[16:13] <niel> is their any way to not have it auto start?
[16:13] <Xyntral> bazhang: Stating a statistic.
[16:13] <Xyntral> niel: You selected to install it alongside Windows, yeah?
[16:13] <bazhang> Xyntral, state it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:13] <Xyntral> And not to 'replace' Windows?
[16:13] <Xyntral> bazhang: I'm not in there, so, no thanks.
[16:14] <niel> ok it replaced windows dont know why or how but windows partition is gone
[16:14] <Xyntral> You're sure about this?
[16:14] <cgade> Argh! Started irssi to look at it and now i cant quit in terminal
[16:14] <niel> http://www.ehow.com/how_6933706_factory-restore-toshiba-tecra.html this doesnt work

[16:15] <arkie_> hey guys, you know the side bar where all programs can be locked to on unity? How can I make that go away so I can have my browser take the whole screen and it only appears on mouse over?
[16:15] <arkie_> Is that possible.
[16:15] <cgade> Thanks man. I didnt read the man yet soo..
[16:16] <dodo3773> cgade: it's true on most if not all irc clients
[16:16] <Xyntral> niel: Nowhere on that page does it suggest holding F8.
[16:16] <Xyntral> It says to hold the '0' button, apparently.
[16:16] <erupter> hi guys. i was wondering: how can I have a little script remotely shutdown a few machines. ssh keys are already setup from the machine that needs to do that. i tried searching the internet but could not find anything related just lots of ssh user@computer sudo reboot which by the way doesn't work (some tty or askpass missing)

[16:29] <no_gravity> Good Evening everybody! Can you guys think of a way to make a screenshot of a window. Not only the part that is displayed on screen, but the whole window? I would like to screenshot a website.
[16:30] <Myrtti> no_gravity: pressing alt as well as print screen?
[16:30] <no_gravity> Myrtti: lets see...
[16:31] <no_gravity> Myrtti: that only shoots the visible part here.
[16:32] <Myrtti> alright, in that case I don't even know what you're after.
[16:32] <usr13> no_gravity: That's all you're gonna get.  What is your end goal?
[16:32] <no_gravity> usr13: screenshotting a website.
[16:32] <somsip> no_gravity: there are browser plugins that can take a screenie of a full page. Chrome and Firefox definitely
[16:33] <usr13> no_gravity: How about  Ctrl-s
[16:33] <usr13> ?
[16:33] <adamk_> no_gravity, You could print the page to a PDF.
[16:33] <arkie_> what's the best twitter client for linux?
[16:33] <niel> no help could hold 0 their
[16:33] <arkie_> i need a client which allows multiple accounts.
[16:34] <no_gravity> usr13: then i dont have an image but stuff.
[16:34] <niel> When I used to use the windows installer It would let me choose on boot I think I might be able to restore from their
[16:34] <no_gravity> adamk_: yeah, thats the solution i currently would use. but its not as nice as an image.
[16:38] <aantoon> hai, howcome firefox redirects losts of pages to www.website-unavailable.com? is this some kind of linux spyware or virus? i tried cleaning cookies and history and all but it dos noet work
[16:38] <niel> I almost am to the point of thinking my computer is doomed
[16:39] <she_dyed> aantoon: might have to do with your router
[16:40] <aantoon> she
[16:40] <aantoon> she_dyed: it worked fine before, what can i do? i'm on a hotspot
[16:41] <she_dyed> aantoon: like a public wifi
[16:41] <aantoon> she_dyed: yes
[16:41] <usr13> no_gravity: Have you tried it?  (I'm pretty sure it saves images as well, it is for off-line viewing.)
[16:42] <usr13> niel What's the problem?
[16:42] <no_gravity> usr13: tried what?
[16:42] <usr13> Ctrl-s
[16:43] <she_dyed> aantoon: it might be searching for the prior network (from home?)
[16:43] <aantoon> she_dyed: i don't think it is the router cos on medori browser evrything worksa
[16:43] <she_dyed> right there? then ignore me for now
[16:43] <no_gravity> usr13: thats not what i want
[16:44] <aantoon> she_dyed: like in firefox the site nu.nl gives redirect and same site in medori works just fine
[16:45] <she_dyed> do you have some old version of firefox there, aantoon
[16:45] <she_dyed> just to try and see
[16:46] <she_dyed> but i have no idea yet whats going on
[16:46] <jiggawillis> What could be the issue for when you scroll on any browser it leaves this line as scrolling? I think it might be the video card. I believe its stock. optiplex sx260, running xubuntu 12.`0
[16:46] <aantoon> she_dyed: firefox 20.0
[16:47] <l_r> !libfuse
[16:47] <jiggawillis> *10
[16:47] <l_r> what is the version of libfuse in ubuntu 12.10?
[16:47] <she_dyed> no i mean a prior version on your hard drive oreven w3m or lynx (the text browsers)
[16:47] <she_dyed> aantoon: ^
[16:47] <Myrtti> !info libfuse
[16:48] <l_r> !info fuse
[16:48] <bazhang> l_r, its libfuse2
[16:48] <l_r> !info libfuse2
[16:49] <bazhang> l_r, please /msg ubottu info etc
[16:49] <l_r> ok thx
[16:49] <bazhang> l_r, if it does not show up with info, then try find libfuse  (for example)
[16:49] <aantoon> she_dyed: what do you mean, i don't understand? if you mean update firefox, it is updated automatically by updater (ubuntu 12.04)
[16:49] <zgbuhjnk> is there file synchronization software available in the repos, that has a nice tree view for what is going to be transfered? (something like freefilesync's tree view: http://i.imagebanana.com/img/nfj7vxyr/Selection_009.png )
[16:49] <she_dyed> no sometimes i keep the old ones
[16:50] <she_dyed> around

[16:51] <h00k> sadekul: because 13.04 isn't released yet, you should seek support in #ubuntu+1

[16:51] <sadekul> h00k, thanks
[16:51] <sadekul> bazhang, thanks.
[16:52] <zvx10> hi people, i want to switch from debian to ubuntu, however, i dont know if there's an alternative to debian netinstall for ubuntu. i dont want to install the whole system with unity/gnome/or some else DE, i want to install a minimalistic system with no x11 at all and install custom graphical interface later. So is there a possibility to install a minimal ubuntu system without any unnecessary software?

[16:59] <Guest48395> hello
[16:59] <Guest48395> i have a problem with ubuntu 12.10, some kind of gpu trap
[17:00] <Guest48395> any idea how best to seek help for that?
[17:00] <Guest48395> it lookas as if its not really a gpu problem because the system doesnt freeze
[17:00] <Guest48395> but i do get funny characters while web browsing
[17:01] <alteregoa> guest first type a human nick
[17:01] <Guest48395> how do i do this?
[17:01] <Guest48395> get a human nick
[17:01] <alteregoa> _/nick nickname
[17:01] <alteregoa> without the underscore at the beginning
[17:01] <starkiller> i really need to resize my system partition XD any advice:P?
[17:01] <Guest48395> ok
[17:01] <dan18> i am now dan18
[17:01] <dan18> thanks
[17:02] <alteregoa> fascinating
[17:02] <superjoe> how might I troubleshoot my ethernet connection no longer working after running apt-get upgrade on 10.04 ?
[17:02] <alteregoa> you gpu has a mouse trap?
[17:02] <superjoe> (and after a reboot)
[17:02] <dan18> :-), i mean ubuntu shows an error dialog
[17:02] <usr13> superjoe: dhclient eth0
[17:03] <usr13> superjoe: sudo dhclient eth0
[17:03] <dan18> and when getting the error information in the window to send it to the developers
[17:03] <dan18> it says something like gpu error
[17:03] <superjoe> ok
[17:03] <dan18> or perhpas incorrect gpu error reported
[17:03] <alteregoa> what kind of gpu?
[17:03] <dan18> i think it has to do with the graphic card
[17:03] <dan18> on a lenovo x220
[17:03] <alteregoa> ah
[17:03] <dan18> its a built in graphic card from intel
[17:04] <dan18> on the motherboard i guess
[17:04] <superjoe> usr13, the command seems to be hanging
[17:04] <alteregoa> its a known bug
[17:04] <dan18> perhaps false gpu lockup
[17:05] <dan18> although some characters in a mozilla browser do get displayed corrupted
[17:05] <dan18> alteregoa, so there isnt much i can do about it?
[17:05] <alteregoa> dan can you pastebin the output of dmesg
[17:05] <dan18> dmesg?
[17:05] <dan18> how to i get to that, is this a file?
[17:06] <usr13> superjoe: Ok, well I can only guess about your network.  (My guess was that your router has a dhcp server running and I advised you to query the dhcp server for correct IP information and in turn connect to the network).
[17:06] <tgm4883> !pastebinit | dan18
[17:06] <alteregoa> well its better someone else talks to you, im out of energy
[17:06] <superjoe> usr13, yes my router does have a dhcp server
[17:06] <usr13> superjoe: ifconfig   #Just see what it says.
[17:06] <tgm4883> dan18, dmesg is a command you can run
[17:07] <usr13> superjoe: What does the network-manager show?
[17:07] <dan18> ok
[17:07] <dan18> let me try
[17:07] <alteregoa> thats i know about the lenovo (sounds like some washing powder)
[17:07] <alteregoa> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1153840
[17:07] <superjoe> usr13, the network manager keeps trying to connect and keeps saying "not connected"
[17:07] <superjoe> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5699069/
[17:08] <dan18> hmm, lots of text
[17:08] <dan18> should i look for something specific in the output
[17:08] <tjingboem> does xrandr take more CPU then nvidia?
[17:09] <superjoe> usr13, I think it might be a kernel issue. It worked fine 10 minutes ago before I rebooted into a new kernel version
[17:09] <superjoe> but when I try booting into an older kernel, my display is totally fucked up - one of the screens is off and the resolution is wrong for the other
[17:09] <superjoe> I don't understand
[17:09] <IdleOne> superjoe: Please mind your language
[17:09] <tgm4883> superjoe, that would be because of proprietary drivers
[17:10] <dan18> there is one line, perhaps of interest: "[ 6065.593252] [drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung"
[17:10] <superjoe> tgm4883, so if I boot into an older kernel, I need to reinstall the proprietary drivers?
[17:10] <tgm4883> superjoe, no,  you would need to rebuild the kernel modules
[17:10] <alteregoa> there are FOUR... LIGHTS!
[17:10] <dan18> this error line is  included many times
[17:10] <superjoe> tgm4883, but I didn't have to rebuild any kernel modules so far... why is this an exception?
[17:11] <dan18> alteregoa: is this one line from dmesg useful?
[17:11] <tgm4883> superjoe, because when you install a new kernel, a piece of magic called DKMS builds the kernel modules for you
[17:11] <superjoe> ah that's what that is
[17:11] <tgm4883> superjoe, but when you just boot an older kernel, the modules don't get rebuilt
[17:12] <superjoe> so I can boot into an older kernel and run dpkg-reconfigure dkms or something?
[17:12] <tgm4883> superjoe, what you should do, is boot to the older kernel, check that networking works, and then file a bug against the new kernel
[17:12] <superjoe> ok
[17:12] <tgm4883> superjoe, I doubt that would rebuild the kernel modules, and I'm unsure of how to force video drivers to rebuild the modules
[17:12] <superjoe> ok
[17:13] <tgm4883> superjoe, perhaps a dpkg-reconfigure of the video drivers, but there is likely a better way
[17:13] <superjoe> hm
[17:13] <tgm4883> superjoe, in either case, you should still file a bug
[17:13] <superjoe> ok
[17:14] <cortexA9> hello all

[17:15] <zoggnoff> cp -R *.* /mnt/sdb1 isn't copying all subfolders... I've chmod everything recursively from working directory.. what am i doing wrong? thank you
[17:16] <zykotick9> john_doe_jr: is this one file, or do you have many that you'll want to repeat this for?
[17:16] <wonko451> Why would ubuntu ask for a RPM to be installed when attempting to use LVM clustering as a software raid 1 equivilent? ( error message: In order for Volume Group to be safely used in clustered environment, lvm2-cluster rpm has to be installed, `lvmconf --enable-cluster` has to be executed and clvmd service has to be running)
[17:16] <dan18> found a following fix
[17:16] <dan18> sudo  add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[17:16] <dan18> sudo  apt-get update
[17:16] <dan18> sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:16] <FloodBot1> dan18: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:18] <zykotick9> zoggnoff: fyi, (not directly related to your problem, OR maybe it is!) you probably don't want to use *.* but just *.
[17:18] <zykotick9> zoggnoff: fyi, (not directly related to your problem, OR maybe it is!) you probably don't want to use *.* but just *
[17:18] <john_doe_jr> zoggnoff: I've got many
[17:19] <dan18> ok, will reboot, lets see if that helped
[17:19] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, is there only the one space you want to replace with a -?
[17:19] <dan18> did some kind of replacement for libva1:amd64
[17:19] <dan18> exit
[17:19] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: just replace it w/ a dash
[17:19] <zykotick9> zoggnoff: *.* means you only want to copy files with . in them.  most directories don't have .s
[17:19] <john_doe_jr> zykotick9: I've got many files
[17:19] <john_doe_jr> "-"
[17:19] <zoggnoff_> i'm zoggnoff
[17:20] <zykotick9> john_doe_jr: ya, i saw.  sorry i've never used rename before, good luck.
[17:20] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, so something simliar to this should probably work    ' rename 's/ /-/' *'
[17:20] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, use it with the -n option to test first
[17:20] <zoggnoff_> well why would it copy some directories..
[17:20] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: what is the -n option?
[17:20] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, -n is "--no-act", it just shows you what it would do
[17:20] <john_doe_jr> man rename
[17:21] <jay__267> oh wow :D
[17:21] <zoggnoff_> oh, hmm, I'll just do *
[17:21] <superjoe> tgm4883, does this look ok? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56491
[17:21] <zoggnoff_> zykotick9: thank you
[17:21] <superjoe> tgm4883, is there something else I should add to help?
[17:21] <tgm4883> superjoe, oh crap......
[17:22] <tgm4883> superjoe, that is completely my bad. I assumed you would have filed that bug on launchpad against the ubuntu kernel
[17:22] <superjoe> oh I'm sorry
[17:22] <superjoe> I thought it affected linux mainline
[17:22] <random_> I have quesries related to ssh in the terminal, could they be directed here ??
[17:22] <superjoe> should I close it and open it on launchpad?
[17:22] <random_> *queries
[17:22] <zykotick9> zoggnoff_: *.* is from another world ;)  it's rarely used in unix-world.
[17:22] <tgm4883> superjoe, you should at least open a bug on launchpad
[17:24] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: I'm assuming the 's/ /-/' *' means substitute all spaces with a dash…right?
[17:24] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, yep
[17:24] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, I haven't tested that though, might have to escape the non-alphanumeric characters
[17:25] <Flitzefeuersocke> hi there
[17:26] <zykotick9> from / i also like "du -sh * 2>/dev/null" for the big picture
[17:26] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: it doesn't work
[17:26] <Flitzefeuersocke> I just need an advice: I am about to install ubuntu and the windows installer is asking me what size the installation should have. Can I change that? What is different then? What does the size depend on?
[17:27] <Flitzefeuersocke> Can anybody help me?
[17:27] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, are you sure?
[17:27] <tgm4883> tmashos@thomas-wks:~$ rename -n 's/ /-/' *.avi
[17:27] <tgm4883> 2013-01-13 00-00-00~00-15-00.avi renamed as 2013-01-13-00-00-00~00-15-00.avi
[17:29] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: I think this is what I need: rename "s/ *//g" *.avi
[17:29] <sprezzatura> quick Q :dont upstart and supervisor essentially do the same thing?
[17:29] <sprezzatura> or am i missing something
[17:30] <tgm4883> john_doe_jr, why would you need that? It literally just worked for me using the filename you specified
[17:30] <john_doe_jr> tgm4883: your right...sorry
[17:30] <superjoe> tgm4883, ok: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1168065

[17:35] <CaTeGoRe> hi
[17:35] <boze> <3      I'm on a laptop and the touchpad just isn't sensitive enough for me... is there a setting somewhere I can raise the threshold?
[17:36] <boze> in addition to the regular touchpad settings*
[17:38] <iggy__> Hello all :)
[17:38] <iggy__> I'm new to linux so I hope my question is not stupid
[17:38] <superjoe> tgm4883, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1168065/comments/4
[17:38] <superjoe> >.<
[17:39] <iggy__> I have a C code that make tons of printf, it takes it arround 17seconds to return. When I call him with redirection (./myprogram > test) it takes it less than 1 second to complete
[17:39] <superjoe> I'm sorry for wasting your time tgm4883 and usr13
[17:39] <tgm4883> superjoe, I thought you said it worked if  you went to an older kernel?
[17:39] <iggy__> Where could I find more information on how is this possible ?
[17:39] <iggy__> Does it somehow hook the printf function ?
[17:39] <superjoe> in my defense, that was a wildly improbably scenario
[17:40] <superjoe> tgm4883, it worked on an older kernel, then I switched to a newer one and it did not work. I was never able to go back to an older one and verify that it still worked
[17:41] <superjoe> again, I'm sorry for wasting your time.
[17:41] <tgm4883> superjoe, ah ok
[17:41] <tgm4883> well as long as it works now
[17:41] <iggy__> and would it take the program as much time if I write directly to file from the C code  ?
[17:42] <Pici> iggy__: this question might be better suited to ##C
[17:42] <Tex_Nick> iggy__:  if you don't get an ansrew here ... you might ask in ##c
[17:42] <iggy__> Pici : Ok, sorry. I though I'd ask it here as it is very relatedto the way output redirection works in linux, at least that's whatI understood
[17:46] <Sach> Any suggestions for good weather apps in Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:52] <ghoti> I have two machines, an i5-2500K @ 3.30GHz and an i7-920 @ 2.67GHz.  One gets to be a web+mysql server, the other gets to be my workstation.  Same memory in both.  Which CPU should go to which task?
[17:53] <wrektjet> hi al whats the method to launch a program via terminal and still bea ble to close said terminal without ending the process?
[17:53] <HelloWorld321> Hi there.  I'm trying to find the "best" printer driver for my Brother MFC-7860DW.  The printer works fine, but the feature that the Canonical default driver is missing is double-sided printing, and when I print a large article, I can save a bunch of paper that way.  I've done a little research, and found that I need a better printer driver.
[17:53] <bazhang> HelloWorld321, check linuxprinting.org database for that
[17:53] <HelloWorld321> Brother doesn't seem to do it, their Linux support section (http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html) doesn't mention my printer (MFC-7860DW), and their MFC-7860DW driver downloads (http://www.brother-usa.com/downloads/default.aspx?PGID=5&R3ModelID=MFC7860DW#.UWb2Akmokak)  only have a download for Windows 7
[17:53] <Sach> Any suggestions for good weather apps in Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:54] <HelloWorld321> k, tx bazhang ... yes, that's what I'm getting at
[17:54] <bazhang> Sach, try apt-cache search weather
[17:54] <eos> Are there problems with the repositories??
[17:54] <Guest52422> can i remove ubuntu splash screen so it's only the grub screen that is shown until the login screen?
[17:54] <zykotick9> wrektjet: try "nohup program" then try closing the terminal and see if the program stays
[17:54] <Shogoot> can anyone help me find out what chmod i got on a mount point?
[17:55] <wrektjet> zykotick9, it warns that closing terminal wiwill kill..
[17:56] <eos> I am getting a problem with MergeList everytime I run apt-get update.
[17:56] <bazhang> eos, duplicate entries?
[17:56] <eos> bazhang: mmmm .... nope
[17:57] <zykotick9> wrektjet: that's unfortunate.  it wfm, but we're using different terminals and wm/de.  this is a gui program right?
[17:57] <eos> bazhang: it looks liek the signature of tha packages are INVALID .... did someone hack the sever?
[17:58] <wrektjet> zykotick9, yes. i recall once doing something with $$ symbols
[17:58] <zykotick9> wrektjet: i don't know what to suggest, sorry.  good luck!
[17:59] <Shogoot> hi guys i got this entry in smb.conf   http://pastebin.com/bagZLPpB  but that mounted usb disk is not showing on my network.... any idea why?
[17:59] <eos> this is the error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/5699220/
[17:59] <DarthExpeditor> So I installed SFLphone and made the mistake of checking the start hidden box. I found the config file and fixed it but the client was still screwed up. So I tried to uninstall and reinstall and now the dameon isn't working. How do I completely remove it, configs and all and start over
[17:59] <wrektjet> zykotick9, thnx
[17:59] <tgm4883> eos, what server
[17:59] <eos> tgm4883: look at the error message
[18:01] <bazhang> eos, gpg err?
[18:01] <HelloWorld321> linuxprinting.org redirects to linuxfoundation.org/openprinting, which apparently now hosts the database, but alot of their links are "dead", pointing to the now defunct linuxprinting.org
[18:01] <eos> bazhang: but why? it looks like the signature is bad, rather than the package
[18:01] <bazhang> HelloWorld321, whats the printer, I'll check
[18:02] <bazhang> !gpgerr | eos
[18:02] <HelloWorld321> Brother MFC-7860DW
[18:02] <HelloWorld321> Thanks, bazhang.
[18:02] <bazhang> HelloWorld321, I will check, will take a few minutes please be patient
[18:02] <eos> bazhang: they are not customer repositories, they are the main repositories, and they have always been there
[18:03] <tgm4883> eos, did you do what that said though?
[18:03] <Shogoot> hi guys i got this entry in smb.conf   http://pastebin.com/bagZLPpB  but that mounted usb disk is not showing on my network.... any idea why?
[18:03] <eos> bazhang: tgm4883: I am doing every repository one by one, it will take some time
[18:04] <tgm4883> eos, what do you mean one by one?, what exactly are you doing?
[18:04] <john_doe_jr> I want to execute a find command in bash shell and then for each item in the list of files I'd like my script to execute something…how do I do that?
[18:05] <eos> tgm4883: I have disabled all repositories, I add them one by one, check the signatures, and so on
[18:05] <llutz> john_doe_jr: find .. -exec   or find ...|xargs
[18:05] <tgm4883> eos, so in other words, you didn't try to add the key via apt-key
[18:06] <eos> tgm4883: exactly
[18:06] <eos> tgm4883: when I got the message it was too late, I had already started
[18:06] <john_doe_jr> My loop is executing too quicly
[18:06] <tgm4883> eos, why don't you just add the key, clear /var/lib/apt/lists/ and then run the update?
[18:06] <tgm4883> see if the issue persists after that
[18:07] <tgm4883> eos, and one by one is an inefficient way of sorting
[18:07] <eos> tgm4883: because I had already removed all the repositories and run the update before I got the first message
[18:07] <tgm4883> eos, I'm starting to think you removed the repos in some strange way
[18:07] <Crazy_> Hello! I need help. I've installed Ubuntu Server 12.10, set it up, installed openvpn. I can connect from the lan to the vpn and ping the server (<IP_ADDRESS>). I can also connect from outside the network, but i can't ping the server. The network is connected to Internet via a NAT router where I've opened vpn port to the server
[18:07] <Crazy_> can anyone help me?
[18:08] <tgm4883> eos, in any case, good luck
[18:08] <eos> tgm4883: strage?
[18:08] <tgm4883> eos, perhaps you prefer "odd"?
[18:09] <eos> tgm4883: there are only two ways of removing them that I know, I do not know which one is strange or odd.
[18:09] <tgm4883> eos, doesn't matter. Good luck to you sir

[18:42] <javier_> I was installing the app darktable (using terminal) when the laptop accidentaly switched off. Now in terminal I see an error processing liblensfun0. How could I fix it?
[18:42] <mariana> marshalcure, I entered the instruction it showed into the Terminal and Terminal returned this message: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[18:43] <queso> How can I see the command an upstart service is actually trying to run?
[18:43] <mariana> Pici, in Update Manager the error message is: Broken System Package
[18:44] <marshalcure> @mariana im pretty new but are you doing it sudo (i think thats root rights)?
[18:44] <mariana> Pici, here's the message: The package system is broken
[18:44] <mariana> Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
[18:44] <mariana> Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
[18:44] <Pici> mariana: can you open a terminal and run sudo apt-get install -f ?
[18:45] <mariana> Oh, I have to type in the comman "sudo" ?
[18:45] <Shogoot> hi guys i got this entry in smb.conf   http://pastebin.com/bagZLPpB  but that mounted usb disk is not showing on my network.... any idea why?
[18:45] <marshalcure> yeah sudo is root i think
[18:45] <Pici> mariana: close update manager, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install -f
[18:45] <marshalcure> youll need to enter your password and it wont show as your typing but its there
[18:45] <she_dyed> marshalcure: correct
[18:46] <she_dyed> you aint rusty yet

[18:58] <aguitel> eos, yes
[18:59] <aguitel> eos, what need to know

[18:59] <k1l> !find eggdrop
[18:59] <shade34321> I installed cmake from the repos but since it wasn't the right version I built the newer version of cmake using cmake. Will this mess up the apt package list?
[19:00] <aguitel> i open the file /boot/grb/grub.cfg
[19:00] <eos> aguitel: then issue the following command grep -ir 'timeout' *
[19:00] <eos> aguitel: easiest if you first do grep -ir 'timeout' *
[19:00] <eos> aguitel: it finds the right place for you
[19:02] <DarthExpeditor> So I installed SFLphone and made the mistake of checking the start hidden box. I found the config file and fixed it but the client was still screwed up. So I tried to uninstall and reinstall and now the dameon isn't working. How do I completely remove it, configs and all and start over?
[19:03] <Tak> anyone else have issues with the latest 12.10 nvidia-current update on a retina macbook?
[19:04] <aguitel> eos, many "timeout" i find
[19:04] <eos> aguitel: can you tell me the values you read after timeout?
[19:04] <aguitel> eos, what line are you talking about
[19:05] <aguitel> eos, -1 ,0 ,10
[19:05] <eos> aguitel: sorry, go to /boot/grub first

[19:06] <sinkingfast> i'm a new user when it comes to ubuntu.

[19:06] <yousaf> Apprend, Preprend etc
[19:06] <eos> aguitel: then run the command pastebinit ~/timeout.txt
[19:06] <aguitel> eos, in what file?
[19:07] <eos> aguitel: then send me the link
[19:07] <she_dyed> how are you editing it yousaf
[19:07] <eos> aguitel: in the temrinal!
[19:07] <sinkingfast> i'm having trouble dual booting a computer with both windows 7 and ubuntu installed in separate ssds.
[19:07] <yousaf> putty
[19:07] <eos> aguitel: open a terminal, go into the directory /boot/grub
[19:07] <Zonko> Guys
[19:07] <Zonko> What's the best way to switch from win 8 to ubuntu?
[19:07] <yousaf> she_dyed using Putty and crontab -e
[19:07] <sinkingfast> can someone help?
[19:08] <she_dyed> you're trying to add a line, yousaf, append is ok, prepend is aboe all lines
[19:08] <she_dyed> above*
[19:08] <aguitel> eos, i am not in the laptop
[19:08] <eos> aguitel: ??
[19:09] <aguitel> eos, wait
[19:10] <sinkingfast> hmm. does anyone here dual boots in windows 7 and ubuntu installed on separate hard drives?
[19:10] <yousaf> Anyone?
[19:10] <she_dyed> you're trying to add a line, yousaf, append is ok, prepend is aboe all lines
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, The channel works with you stating your probles. ;)
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> problems*
[19:11] <sinkingfast> ok. the problem is that after installing ubuntu, windows 7 becomes unbootable.
[19:11] <aguitel> eos, i will change the machine and going back
[19:11] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, from the grub menu?
[19:11] <eos> I am sorry aguitel I have to go to dinner
[19:12] <k1l> Zonko: just boot up a live-usb system and get in touch with it
[19:12] <BluesKaj> sinkingfast, isudo updaqte-grub in the terminal
[19:12] <relipse> how come I don't have colors in screen (ubuntu), i'm using putty to connect
[19:12] <sinkingfast> ok. wilee, this is how i go about it. i unplugged the sata cable from the win7 drive before installing ubuntu. plugged it in after the installation, and win7 drive won't boot up even if i unplugged the ubuntu sata cable.
[19:13] <Zonko> SineTheCreator,  wut
[19:13] <sinkingfast> it somehow messed the boot file in windows 7 drive.
[19:13] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, make sure the HD that ubuntu is in is first in the bios to be read, and run sudo update-grub in ubuntu with the windows HD plugged in.
[19:14] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, unlikely any damage to windows, you just need the mbr of the ubuntu drive read for the boot first.
[19:14] <sinkingfast> wilee, does it have anything with the sda, sdb designation?
[19:14] <an0n> How many gbs a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS occupies disk?
[19:15] <BluesKaj> sinkingfast, or , sudo os-prober, then run, sudo update-grub
[19:15] <aguitel> eos: i back
[19:15] <andreas> People! I've tried installing those damn Nivida drivers two times now, both time failed
[19:15] <andreas> epically
[19:15] <she_dyed>  eos │ I am sorry aguitel I have to go to dinner
[19:15] <andreas> I think I need some help with this
[19:15] <andreas> I''ve got Nvidia gtx 560, and I tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081649
[19:15] <earasteh_> hi! Is there anyone who has worked with CAD or CAE programs in ubuntu or linux? I got some questions
[19:15] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, before we get to far can we just try this as I have described, there is a script I would have you run otherwise so we can get to the nitty gritty. ;)
[19:15] <she_dyed> aguitel: if you didn't take 10 mins to reinstall he'd be able to help you fast
[19:16] <andreas> just re-installed with a fresh system
[19:16] <sinkingfast> blueskaj, i used the windows 7 boot up dvd to replace the mbr and it seems to make the situation worse.
[19:16] <yousaf> she_dyed how about if I add it in cron.hourly?
[19:16] <Rahul_21> hello,i seem to have a distro issue , when i run mysqld ,can anyone help me?
[19:17] <she_dyed> yousaf: its up to you, i use a plain editor while logged in as root
[19:17] <yousaf> which editor?
[19:17] <she_dyed> an editor i am familiar with vim
[19:17] <yousaf> This a dedicated box
[19:17] <andreas> vim hates noobs
[19:17] <sinkingfast> wilee, about making ubuntu the first in bio, i did that.
[19:17] <AkstonH> Hello chaps. I have Ubuntu 13.04 running on a machine with an Intel 945GM integrated graphics card. It's meant to have something like 256MB of shared memory. On dmesg it says "agpgart-intel : detected 16384K stolen memory. When I run Google Earth, it says that the graphics card is unsupported because it needs more than 16MB of VRAM. Unity is running in 3d mode.. Not sure what to do. I also can't find a traditional XOrg.conf file to
[19:17] <AkstonH> try and force it to use more memory.. any ideas?
[19:17] <ausxxh> i want to use a script to wrap up a command as i want to add some flags, say, the origina command is /bin/cmd1, i want to do: cd /bin && mv cmd1 cmd1.orig && echo /bin/cmd1.orig -o flag > /bin/cmd1
[19:17] <she_dyed> andreas: evolution wil do the rest
[19:17] <andreas> isn't 13.04 beta?
[19:18] <she_dyed> =)
[19:18] <ausxxh> this does not work as expected...
[19:18] <andreas> evolution?
[19:18] <andreas> is it an app
[19:18] <sinkingfast> the thing is it didn't give me the option to dual boot.
[19:18] <genii-around> Rahul_21: Please elaborate on "distro issue"
[19:18] <andreas> wait, it's vim
[19:18] <she_dyed> Darwinian
[19:18] <andreas> I'ma stupid
[19:18] <she_dyed> but fit?
[19:18] <sinkingfast> ubuntu boots up just fine. it's the win7 that's fubarred.
[19:18] <andreas> Installing Ubuntu with nvidia driver is waaaay harder then installing Arch Linux, this is wrong
[19:18] <andreas> or I'm doing everything wrong
[19:18] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, Then lets do this get this app and run the bootinfo summary only and post the url, that way we are not guessing here or wasting time.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[19:18] <BluesKaj> yeah , sinkingfast , ubuntu will install grub to mbr of the windows drive, if you let it by having it onnected and first in the bios bootsequence
[19:19] <Rahul_21> genii-around, when i type "service mysqld start" i get " mysqld: unrecognized service
[19:19] <Rahul_21> "
[19:19] <llutz> Rahul_21: sudo service mysql start
[19:20] <Rahul_21> llutz, start: Job is already running: mysql
[19:20] <BluesKaj> that's what I did sinkingfast , I have W7 and kubuntu on separate hdds
[19:20] <Tak> solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2006475&s=146a9e33f1fadd34ff7f7002d38924a8&p=12251994#post12251994
[19:20] <sinkingfast> wilee, thanks for the link. i'll look into it. right now, i'm afraid to dual boot since i don't know how to fix win 7 drive other than reinstalling it, which is a royal pain in the neck considering the amount of updates win 7 subject its users to.
[19:20] <llutz> Rahul_21: so your issue is?
[19:21] <genii-around> I'm pretty sure mysqld is an upstart and not sysvinit
[19:21] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, I doubt any reinstall is needed this is a basic bootloader and file problem. ;)
[19:21] <she_dyed> sinkingfast: your data is still there, ubuntu needs to be aware that theres win7 around
[19:21] <earasteh_>  hi! Is there anyone who has worked with CAD or CAE programs in ubuntu or linux? I got some questions
[19:22] <sinkingfast> wilee, you're probably right. it's just that i lack the technical know how.
[19:22] <yousaf> she_dyed if I use WinSCP to edit the crontab, where would I actually find the file?
[19:22] <Rahul_21> llutz, what is mysqld?
[19:22] <llutz> Rahul_21: mysqld is the daemon for the mysql-service /database server/
[19:23] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, Understandable, run the script and post the url, that is the best thing to do it takes out the guessing, and bias's of this what happened to me.
[19:23] <bekks> yousaf: you should use ssh to run the command "crontab -e"
[19:23] <she_dyed> yousaf: i am not familiar with winscp, that can't be linux right, lets go back to the original question. Do you have geany or gedit or someother gui editor maybe you just need to gksudo geany crontab
[19:23] <l3n0x> yo
[19:23] <she_dyed> its in /etc/ by the way yousaf
[19:23] <sinkingfast> does ubuntu automatically find the driver for usb devices such as printer?
[19:23] <Rahul_21> llutz, cause when i run "sudo service mysqld start" i get" unrecognized service "
[19:23] <l3n0x> is there anyone alive?
[19:23] <an0n> How many gbs a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS occupies disk?
[19:23] <daz646> oin #ubuntu
[19:23] <sinkingfast> my samsung priver doesn't seem to work with ubuntu.
[19:24] <sinkingfast> printer.
[19:24] <llutz> Rahul_21: yes, the service name is "mysql" not mysqld
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> an0n, about 3 to 4 gigs in one partition, with the updates-upgrades
[19:24] <genii-around> Rahul_21: First thing is: just mysql without the d at the end. second thing: sudo start mysql     ...because it's an Upstart job
[19:24] <l3n0x> [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ??
[19:25] <wilee-nilee> an0n, That does not include a swap which should be equal to your ram at the least.
[19:25] <genii-around> llutz: Additionally as i stated, it's an Upstart job and not a sysvinit job run by upstart with the "service" command
[19:25] <yousaf> she_dyed i am a beginner so I don't even know what the editors are
[19:25] <llutz> genii-around: you're right, but "service" handles upstart jobs too
[19:26] <Rahul_21> genii-around, in my wiki i am getting a message cannot connect to database server, i guess it is because of this daemon
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> sinkingfast, I'm going to reboot to ubuntu I will be back in a minute or so.
[19:27] <l3n0x> [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ??
[19:27] <genii-around> llutz: The problem becomes if ther is an /etc/init.d etry for it, then it will use that forst if you specify service. So if it was began as a native upstart job and you keep trying to use service to stop/restart it, the pid etc don't match
[19:27] <llutz> genii-around: oh ok
[19:28] <Rahul_21> llutz, reply?
[19:28] <sinkingfast> hmm. is ubuntu user friendly or does it take a lot of technical know how.
[19:28] <sinkingfast> it seems quite complex to me at this point.
[19:29] <jgornick> Hey guys, I have an Ubuntu 10.04 VM and for some reason the eth0 is found, but can't renew a DHCP license. Any ideas?
[19:29] <l3n0x> [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ??
[19:29] <an0n> wilee-nilee: 10 gbs for / is so little?
[19:30] <l3n0x> sinkingfast Ubuntu IS user Friendly compared to old version linuxes
[19:30] <freiform> hi, i'm trying to compile gimp-astronomy-plugins, make bails out giving me http://pastebin.com/WW6i7cej . Any ideas what I'm missing?
[19:30] <wilee-nilee> an0n, So you want to have one partition or split the root and home, and how big do you want it. Your initial question was waht is the install basic size.
[19:30] <sinkingfast> but it's probably years behind mac os?
[19:31] <llutz> Rahul_21: "sudo restart mysql"  check the wiki-config (database, host, user, passwd)
[19:31] <l3n0x> sinkingfast, what exactly is ur problem using ubuntu?
[19:31] <an0n> wilee-nilee: /, swap and /home
[19:32] <sinkingfast> l3nox, right now, is dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. i tried it twice and twice it seemed to mess up the win 7 drive.
[19:32] <Zonko> Fuck you taylor swift!
[19:32] <Atael> aha
[19:33] <Tm_T> Zonko: please keep the topic and language suitable for this channel
[19:33] <Zonko> Well
[19:33] <Zonko> it's taylor swift..
[19:33] <Zonko> what was I supposed to do
[19:33] <wilee-nilee> an0n, Good, so you the basic / size is about 20 gigs, home at least that if you want media....etc, swap should be equal to your ram if you want to hibernate.
[19:33] <sinkingfast> i probably can't blame ubuntu. it's just that i'm a complete newbie and don't know how to fix or deal with boot file.
[19:33] <Zonko> also
[19:33] <trism> freiform: you are going to have to edit one of the makefiles and add -lm explicitly when linking
[19:33] <an0n> the 3 separate partitions 10 gbs would be little for the root partition for programming, virtual machines and some software?
[19:33] <wilee-nilee> an0n, What I have not seen is how much space you actually have and want.
[19:33] <freiform> trism, thanks.
[19:34] <Zonko> Well...
[19:34] <Zonko> I'm sorry.
[19:34] <virtuelv> does anyone here know anything about over-provisioning on Samsung SSDs?
[19:34] <Zonko> I do.

[19:34] <h00k> !language | Atael
[19:34] <Atael> sorry

[19:35] <Zonko> Kule
[19:35] <FloodBot1> Zonko: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:35] <an0n> wilee-nilee: Normally I use 10 gbs for /, but as I intend to use a virtual machine and go to programming I think it would be just what do you think?
[19:35] <wilee-nilee> an0n, The good thing is all those partitions are easily resize-able, if there is space to do so.
[19:35] <Zonko> :(
[19:35] <sinkingfast> does ubuntu seek out drivers from devices plugged to the computer?
[19:35] <k1l> Zonko: stop that or be banned. last warning now
[19:35] <Zonko> What did I do k1l ?
[19:35] <sinkingfast> similar to mac os and win 7?
[19:35] <k1l> !guidelines > Zonko
[19:36] <wilee-nilee> an0n, I said the minimum of 20 gigs already for /, you have to calculate your needs.
[19:36] <IdleOne> Zonko: Please read the message from ubottu, this is not a play room, we have rules.
[19:36] <Zonko> I read them...
[19:36] <h00k> Zonko: check out the guidelines for the channel, they'll help you understand the purpose of the channel and how to behave in here. You've been directed there three times. Please follow them.
[19:36] <IdleOne> ok, now follow them
[19:36] <Zonko> What rule did I break?
[19:36] <Zonko> I broke language the first time.
[19:36] <Zonko> What did I break the second time?
[19:37] <h00k> Zonko: if you'd like to discuss this, you're free to in #ubuntu-ops, but let's keep it support-like in here.
[19:37] <an0n> wilee-nilee: Is there any data loss when a resized partition, or something is wrong after resized?
[19:38] <wilee-nilee> an0n, No data loss or damage in general, other than maybe a grub reload depending on what you have moved, all this is with correct technique. However being backed up is your best insurance, an image/clone is a good way.
[19:39] <an0n> wilee-nilee: yes
[19:39] <an0n> wilee-nilee: thanks
[19:39] <wilee-nilee> in other words cover any contingencies. an0n
[19:39] <virtuelv> is #ubuntu-help closed for business?
[19:39] <l3n0x> [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ??
[19:40] <Tm_T> virtuelv: this is the help channel (:
[19:40] <wilee-nilee> virtuelv, Invite only
[19:40] <virtuelv> ah, it didn't use to be like this, IIRC
[19:40] <virtuelv> either way
[19:41] <wilee-nilee> virtuelv, This is ubuntu support however. ;)
[19:41] <virtuelv> I have no access to a windows machine, but need to know what Samsung's SSD Magician tool does in the over provisioning settings
[19:41] <minetape> 13.04 is in beta
[19:41] <virtuelv> wilee - yes, this is related, sort of - I need to know what the over provisioning does before I let ubuntu loose on my SSD
[19:41] <minetape> Has anyone tried it yet?
[19:42] <tgm4883> !13.04 | minetape
[19:42] <bekks> minetape: Everyone in #ubuntu+1 did :)
[19:42] <minetape> i didnt :/
[19:42] <wilee-nilee> virtuelv, I'm not sure I understand you what are your concerns, I have ubuntu on my 256 gig ssd
[19:42] <virtuelv> wilee-nilee: but if you know a more generic place to ask this question, I'm al ears
[19:42] <minetape> I want to know how it is as far as stability looks and such
[19:42] <wilee-nilee> !13.04 | minetape
[19:42] <minetape> stahp
[19:43] <virtuelv> wilee-nilee: my concern is about how Samsung has, technically, implemented over-provisioning in their tool
[19:43] <virtuelv> whether their SSD is treating unpartitioned space as an area for over-provisioning
[19:43] <wilee-nilee> virtuelv, I'm not familiar with over-provisioning, do you mean writes to to the drive and how often?
[19:44] <virtuelv> or whether it's some form of magic partitioning, or reconfiguration of the hardware
[19:44] <virtuelv> wilee-nilee: no, overprovisioning is, simplified, an unpartitioned space on a SSD that the SSD can use for wear levelling
[19:44] <gustav> Uhm. Thunderbird just randomly crashed. What could that be?
[19:44] <virtuelv> it both improves performance and lifetime of the drive
[19:44] <gustav> It has never done that before.
