[08:43] <shouldes> Tellmarch, /etc/xdg/autostart ?
[08:43] <theadmin> shouldes: ...That's got nothing to do with services whatsoever
[08:44] <Tellmarch> shouldes, no, it's not there, it's services... something that can be run with "service" for instance
[08:45] <Tellmarch> (in my case i have wicd and network manager installed, i'd like to disable wicd for now)
[08:45] <mrsuchyPL> Tellmarch: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications ?
[08:45] <Tellmarch> no
[08:45] <Tellmarch> that's just the graphical application
[08:45] <Tellmarch> not the service
[08:45] <theadmin> Tellmarch: sudo service wicd stop && sudo mv /etc/init/wicd.conf /etc/init/wicd.conf.DISABLED
[08:46] <mrsuchyPL> the admin wicd this is a wirless aplication ?
[08:46] <theadmin> mrsuchyPL: Yeah, it's a networkmanager alternative.
[08:46] <mrsuchyPL> I see
[08:46] <Tellmarch> theadmin, there is no wicd.conf there ,but ok, if it's just the usual command tools i know the "old way" to do it
[08:46] <theadmin> mrsuchyPL: Stands for "Wireless Internet Connection Daemon" methinks
[08:47] <Tellmarch> mrsuchyPL, yes it allows to choose a specific AP, networkmanager doesn't
[08:47] <theadmin> Tellmarch: I'd like to point out that Ubuntu doesn't use systemV Init anymore, so you have no rcN.d directories or /etc/init.d/ (well, you do, but that ain't what you're normally looking for)
[08:47] <Tellmarch> theadmin, hmm, really? i'm in 10.04, maybe it has changed since then?
[08:48] <Tellmarch> i don't have the wicd.conf in init
[08:48] <theadmin> Uuuh... Tellmarch, I'm not sure when upstart was introduced, I think it was 9.10, but in 10.04 the migration process is still not complete I *think*.
[08:48] <llutz_> Tellmarch: the old sysV-style scripts still exist, upstart manages them
[08:48] <Tellmarch> wicd isn't an upstart job i think
[08:48] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Ah okay, listen to llutz_, he knows better.
[08:48] <Tellmarch> at least it doesn't tell me when i start it by init.d
[08:48] <Tellmarch> (unlike network manager)
[08:49] <Tellmarch> well, thanks for the help
[08:49] <alextone> hello. I have a question. I started my wife's computer this morning, and in the workspace switcher applet, there is a small rectangle that shows, indicating an app in the window, yet there's no app in the window. (11.10 unity) how can i find which app is running in the window? I've tried htop, and gone through the processes there, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
[08:50] <airtonix> if I attempt to modify the /etc/modprobe.d/something.conf with contents of : options ahci marvell_enable=1, and regen the initrd, it still uses pata_marvel instead of ahci kernel module...
[08:50] <alextone> the switcher is set to defalut 4, and the small app indicator shows in workspace 1.
[08:59] <shouldes> Tellmarch, /etc/default/wicd → START_DAEMON=    e     /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop ?
[08:59] <Tellmarch> shouldes, oh, thanks, that should work
[09:00] <ReXHaviK> !sound
[09:01] <theadmin> ReXHaviK: That doesn't quite help anyone's questions -- if you're looking for help from ubottu for yourself, !msgthebot
[09:01] <theadmin> !msgthebot > ReXHaviK
[09:02] <ReXHaviK> theadmin, the anyone was me, i have the sound issues, and i needed the link to troubleshoot my sound issues, thnks
[09:02] <khmerog> hi
[09:03] <ReXHaviK> theadmin, call it self help
[09:03] <khmerog> i just installed ubuntu 11.04 alongside of windows 7..during installation it asked me to pick "disk space" size from 1GB - 30GB..what does this option mean?
[09:04] <theadmin> ReXHaviK: Well, just saying you should PM the bot next time you want such self help.
[09:04] <theadmin> khmerog: You installed via the Windows installer? Awful idea. Generally, this sets how much disk space is dedicated to Ubuntu's virtual drive, how much it can use.
[09:04] <khmerog> ??
[09:04] <khmerog> why is it awful idea?
[09:05] <theadmin> khmerog: Because wubi has always been half-broken.
[09:05] <khmerog> ooo
[09:05] <khmerog> i dont have a cd rom for my net book
[09:05] <ReXHaviK> theadmin, yes, something to consider, excuse me, i have sound issues to resolve now
[09:05] <theadmin> khmerog: You can install Ubuntu from USB.
[09:05] <khmerog> so i think this is the only way to install ub
[09:05] <khmerog> oh
[09:05] <merryman540> I have a 4gb mini memory card in a usb card reader. When  I plug the reader with the memory stick into the system it says it a read only. Which it shouldn't be of course. Would really appreciate how to configure something to get it back or recognised as a read+write media again.
[09:05] <___MAX> hi, any one know good vpn client work under wine
[09:06] <Imre_> openVPN
[09:06] <merryman540> reader with memory card I should have said
[09:06] <merryman540> bad me
[09:06] <khmerog> theadmin can u explain "dedicated to Ubuntu vitrual drive" to me
[09:06] <khmerog> is it a drive where i can download music/videos and will be stored there?
[09:06] <khmerog> hi __Max
[09:06] <khmerog> u sob
[09:06] <theadmin> khmerog: Well, when you install with Wubi, it creates a virtual hard disk inside a file (kinda like ISO images for CD drives, I guess), which Ubuntu gets installed to, and which Ubuntu writes all it's info to.
[09:07] <___MAX> Imre: like cisco  client
[09:07] <Lint> khmerog, you should have /host directory containing the real disk
[09:07] <Imre_> How can I make a .sh file to be accessable in terminal just like the common terminal commands?
[09:08] <Tellmarch> Imre_, you can put it in a folder that is in your $PATH
[09:08] <theadmin> Imre_: sudo mv yourfile.sh /usr/local/bin/yourfile && sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/yourfile && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/yourfile
[09:09] <Imre_> Thank you!
[09:10] <khmerog> coool Lint
[09:10] <theadmin> Imre_: Or, simplier: sudo install -o root -g root -m 755 yourfile.sh /usr/local/bin/
[09:10] <Imre_> da best :D
[09:10] <khmerog> Lint i just see all my windows 7 files
[09:11] <khmerog> i have access to them too !
[09:11] <khmerog> im trying to find this 30gb file that theadmin is talking about..i did find it once
[09:11] <theadmin> khmerog: Wubi installs to $drive_you_chose/ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[09:12] <electronics-cat> you mean the internet explorer update file
[09:12] <Imre_> This is getting better and better. :)
[09:12] <mrsuchyPL> :)
[09:12] <khmerog_> hmm
[09:12] <khmerog_> i got disconnected
[09:12] <theadmin> khmerog: Wubi installs to $drive_you_chose/ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[09:12] <merryman540> I have a pastebin image for the fstab + the blkid if that helps: http://pastebin.com/P3WRcv1r
[09:12] <khmerog_> ok let me try to find
[09:12] <Imre_> Now only one question: Do you know a good filebrowser with built in FTP Browser? Nauilus didn't do the trick
[09:13] <theadmin> Imre_: Thunar, Dolphin, PCManFM...
[09:13] <Imre_> PCManFM???
[09:13] <Tellmarch> well konqueror does it for sure... but it's heavy...
[09:13] <Imre_> I have LXDE
[09:13] <theadmin> Imre_: (not so sure about that last one to be honest, but I *think* it does it, just type the ftp:// url in your address bar)
[09:14] <khmerog_> found it thanks..okay theadmin..so what would be the diff. next time if i choosed 5gb or even 1gb next time i installed ubstead of 30
[09:14] <Imre_> naa, I need an easier. The system I creating has to be an "out of the box" one.  :) Really
[09:16] <theadmin> Imre_: Uh, thanks. I have no _ in my nickname, though.
[09:17] <Imre_> sry
[09:17] <Imre_> just don'T know how to whisper
[09:17] <Imre_> :)
[09:18] <khmerog_> hi
[09:18] <theadmin> Imre_: "whisper"? lol, RPG term much. To send a highlight, "nickname: message". To send a private message, "/msg nickname message", or sometimes, "/query nickname message".
[09:18] <khmerog_> theadmin did u see my question?
[09:18] <Imre_> theadmin: Thanks :P :D
[09:18] <theadmin> khmerog_: Yeah, but I don't understand what you're saying.
[09:18] <khmerog_> ok
[09:19] <khmerog_> doesnt matter u advised me not to install the way i did
[09:19] <khmerog_> so i should install from usb
[09:19] <theadmin> khmerog_: Yeah, well. You really should install from USB or CD.
[09:19] <khmerog_> im guessing i need to partition right?
[09:19] <theadmin> khmerog_: Yeah, but you can do it during the install.
[09:19] <airtonix> i need some help getting this sata card using ahci instead of pata_marvel : http://dpaste.com/735484/
[09:20] <khmerog_> does my usb have to be clean/formatted with only the iso on there?
[09:20] <khmerog_> becuase i have bunch of files on my usb drive
[09:20] <theadmin> khmerog_: You don't just put the ISO on a USB stick, you use some tool like LinuxLive USB Creator.
[09:20] <theadmin> khmerog_: But yes, you'll have format to vfat.
[09:21] <theadmin> airtonix: I'm not sure, but a udev rule maybe?
[09:22] <airtonix> http://dpaste.com/735485/
[09:22] <theadmin> airtonix: (as I said, not sure, just the first idea which comes to mind when I need to force a device to do/be something is an udev rule ;)
[09:22] <o0tjaxt0o> Is there a channel favorites in xchat?
[09:22] <airtonix> theadmin: bios is also set to ahci mode, bios sees the 4 2tb drives and so does the raid daughter board in question (when it prints its post display)
[09:23] <alextone> hello. I have a question. I started my wife's computer this morning, and in the workspace switcher applet, there is a small rectangle that shows, indicating an app in the workspace (WS 1 of 4 which is the default), yet there's no app in the workspace itself in the screen. (11.10 unity) how can i find which app is running in the workspace? I've tried htop, and gone through the processes there, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
[09:26] <mhzarei>  /join #ubuntu+1
[09:28] <ashjas> hi anybody here .. who has ben trying ubuntu 12 betas??
[09:28] <khmerog_> ohh shoot\
[09:28] <khmerog_> do i need to uninstal this ubuntu live version first?
[09:28] <theadmin> ashjas: /join #ubuntu+1
[09:29] <ashjas> @theadmin ok thanks...
[09:29] <khmerog_> should i join too?
[09:30] <khmerog_> since i have lots of questions
[09:30] <Jordan_U> khmerog_: First, Wubi isn't what I would call a "live version" of Ubuntu. You don't need to remove Wubi before doing a normal dual boot install, though it might be better just to avoid confusion between the two.
[09:30] <khmerog_> kk
[09:31] <khmerog_> is ubuntu 12 beta ppretty stable? or should i just install ubuntuo 11.10 which i just downloaed 5 min ago
[09:31] <Jordan_U> khmerog_: There are good instructions for putting Ubuntu on a USB stick, and the rest of the install process, at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[09:31] <Tellmarch> khmerog, 12.04 will be released in a few days
[09:33] <khmerog_> beta? or lts ?
[09:33] <Tellmarch> LTS
[09:33] <khmerog_> damn
[09:33] <khmerog_> i just wasted 700mb of bandwidth
[09:33] <Tellmarch> khmerog, release on 26th iirc
[09:33] <monadist> has anyone succesfully archived their account on facebook?
[09:34] <carroarmato0> Tellmarch, khmerog_: yep, 26th
[09:34] <FernandoCueva> what is linux ppc?
[09:34] <khmerog_> kk...i guess ill download it the first of next month
[09:34] <monadist> how long does it take...?
[09:34] <SwashBuckla> how do you get a script to run at login?
[09:34] <khmerog_> pocket pc
[09:34] <SwashBuckla> usually it's .xinitrc
[09:35] <tero> um does ubuntu has anything similiar to system restore in windows?
[09:35] <SwashBuckla> but that only works if you start a User Defined Session i
[09:36] <airtonix> tero: it does if you use zfs and zfs-auto-snapshot
[09:36] <tero> a what? :)
[09:36] <tero> hm i guess i was looking for GUI one click solution
[09:36] <tero> :(
[09:36] <tero> so i guess no?
[09:36] <airtonix> i just said yes
[09:36] <airtonix> so i guess yes?
[09:37] <Tellmarch> you said "yes IF"
[09:37] <Tellmarch> and that's a big IF :)
[09:37] <khmerog_> if i install ubuntu 11.10 and when 12.04 comes out can i just update?
[09:37] <tero> i guess this was never impemented http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1230/
[09:37] <fidel> khmerog_: yes
[09:37] <khmerog_> kk
[09:38] <Tellmarch> khmerog, though in my opinion it's often best to do a fresh install...
[09:38] <Tellmarch> you get something cleaner :)
[09:40] <airtonix> Tellmarch: yes if is much closer to yes than no
[09:41] <khmerog> test
[09:42] <merryman540> I have a 4gb mini memory card in a usb card reader. When  I plug the reader with the memory card into the system it says it a read only. Which it shouldn't be of course. Any suggestions?
[09:43] <gleb__> merryman540: tried formatting?
[09:43] <khmerog> k i created the usb startup disk
[09:45] <khmerog> im using xhat to chat on irc,...anyone else?
[09:45] <merryman540> gleb: er no actually ... er I can't remember really lol. Can you tell me if it should be listed in my fstab?
[09:46] <merryman540> gleb__: er no actually ... er I can't remember really lol. Can you tell me if it should be listed in my fstab?
[09:47] <malvika> hi
[09:47] <malvika> I cannot seem to get the internet connection to connect within VMWare Ubuntu.
[09:48] <malvika> host machine is windows vista
[09:48] <Thete> malvika: You install vmware tools?
[09:48] <gleb__> merryman540: i dont think so
[09:48] <malvika> Thete : what tools
[09:49] <SwashBuckla> how do you get a script to run at login? usually I use .xinitrc, but that only runs when I select User Defined Session from the Login Manager
[09:49] <SwashBuckla> I want a script to run a login regardless of what type of X Session I select
[09:50] <malvika> unable to run internet on ubuntu (on vmware) host machine is vista through wifi
[09:51] <malvika> unable to run internet on ubuntu (on vmware) host machine is vista through wifi
[09:52] <merryman540> gleb__: I partitioned and formatted it in another linux system. My brain isn't working how would I format it here?
[09:52] <electronics-cat> lol
[09:53] <malvika> unable to run internet on ubuntu (on vmware) host machine is vista through wifi
[09:53] <khmerog> when i minimize xchat it doesnt show it on the taskbar
[09:53] <merryman540> gleb__: does it have to be unmounted ot format it?
[09:53] <khmerog> anyone else has this problem?
[09:53] <gleb__> merryman540: ehm.. e.g. install parted and do it via it
[09:54] <khmerog> and desksrcibe doesnt work 4 me
[09:54] <merryman540> gleb__: ok thanks
[09:54] <gleb__> merryman540: yeap, unmount it)
[09:54] <carroarmato0> malvika: check in vmware if you're using a NAT connection for the VM, and if that still doesn't do it, install the Guest Packages
[09:54] <safeacid> a
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> malvika  in the VM, change NAT to bridged, to make a logical bridge to your existing network
[09:56] <malvika> monkeydust: itried with bridged its not working either
[09:56] <malvika> carroarmato8 what guest packages to be installed
[09:56] <malvika> ??
[09:57] <carroarmato0> malvika: if you check in the menu's of Vmware, you should be able to see an option to install additional packages in the guest
[09:57] <Thete> the vmware guest tools I was telling you
[09:57] <malvika> unable to run internet on ubuntu (on vmware) host machine is vista through wifi
[09:57] <merryman540> gleb__: any idea how to get any files off it now that I can't apparently mount it-(LOL)
[09:58] <Thete> malvika: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_newguest_tools_linux.html
[09:58] <malvika> Thete: k
[10:02] <nickel> Hello Guys, I'm trying to install snmp on my server and already followed several configurations tutorials but it does not work....don't know what to do, I want to be able to monitor it from my cacti server
[10:02] <Thete> Ubuntu has really come a long way, I'm loving this
[10:02] <Thete> I used to hate it
[10:12] <captainjamie> Does anyone know how I install "Avadon: The Black Fortress" which I got from the Humble Bundle? I don't know what type of file it is, it's not a .deb
[10:12] <theadmin> captainjamie: Well, what's the extension?
[10:13] <SwashBuckla> how do you get a script to run at login? usually I use .xinitrc, but that only runs when I select User Defined Session from the Login Manager
[10:13] <SwashBuckla> I want a script to run a login regardless of what type of X Session I select
[10:13] <SwashBuckla> at login*
[10:14] <SwashBuckla> captainjamie: type the command  $file <file you want to know the type of>
[10:14] <theadmin> SwashBuckla: How about putting something like [ -z $DISPLAY ] || /path/to/your/script
[10:14] <theadmin> SwashBuckla: In your .profile, that is
[10:14] <SwashBuckla> theadmin: where?
[10:14] <SwashBuckla> ah ok, thanks
[10:15] <the_drow> how do I run a script after the installation is done? Should I use the kickstart post event or some other method?
[10:16] <SwashBuckla> theadmin: why am I testing to see if DISPLAY is zero?
[10:16] <SwashBuckla> and then not doing anything
[10:16] <captainjamie> SwashBuckla: it says "Downloads/avadon-linux-1331768904-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped"
[10:17] <SwashBuckla> captainjamie: you can probably chmod +x the binary, and just run it like   ./avadon-linux-...
[10:17] <SwashBuckla> go into Downloads obviously
[10:17] <SwashBuckla> and run it from there with    ./<filename here>
[10:17] <captainjamie> Thanks
[10:17] <SwashBuckla> $chmod +x <filename> makes it executable (if it isn't already)
[10:18] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: maybe you need upstart?
[10:18] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: maybe I do?
[10:18] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: http://upstart.ubuntu.com
[10:18] <theadmin> SwashBuckla: Well, uh, the basic idea is "unless DISPLAY is 0-length, run the script"
[10:18] <the_drow> "how do you get a script to run at login? usually I use .xinitrc, but that only runs when I select User Defined Session from the Login Manager"
[10:19] <the_drow> Probably. It has such an event that you can hook on.
[10:19] <captainjamie> SwashBuckla: Thanks, it worked perfectly!
[10:19] <SwashBuckla> captainjamie: no problem
[10:20] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: yeah that sounds like what I want
[10:20] <SwashBuckla> I'll try that out
[10:20] <the_drow> now I'm looking for a method to run a script once
[10:20] <SwashBuckla> I'm surprised that I wasn't inundated with responses
[10:20] <SwashBuckla> as what I want to do is quite comon
[10:21] <SwashBuckla> I was used to just whacking everything in .xinitrc, but Ubuntu disregards that unless it's explicitly a User Defined Sessions
[10:21] <SwashBuckla> s/Sessions/Session/
[10:21] <boriccu> hello
[10:21] <the_drow> Running a script once after the installation is also very common, but it seems that there is no trivial way to do it.
[10:21] <boriccu> hi
[10:21] <ngomes> when 12.04 is out ?
[10:21] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: after installation of what?
[10:21] <theadmin> ngomes: Ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:21] <ngomes> ok
[10:22] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: of ubuntu
[10:22] <carroarmato0> ngomes: in about 4 days
[10:22] <boriccu> ciao
[10:22] <SwashBuckla> that sounds like something you want to bundle into a livecd
[10:22] <boriccu> !list
[10:22] <the_drow> I'm wondering if Kickstart %post can do what I want
[10:22] <ngomes> hmm ok , i've tried update-manager -d but if failed to upgrade
[10:23] <the_drow> ngomes: it's not here yet
[10:23] <ngomes> that should explain why it failed
[10:23] <SwashBuckla> :D
[10:23] <carroarmato0> good things happen to those who wait :P
[10:23] <carroarmato0> unless you're waiting for a bufferoverflow
[10:23] <ngomes> but it shows upgrade available tho ...
[10:24] <carroarmato0> ngomes: what kind of upgrade? to 12.04 ??
[10:25] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: I want to be able to run this after the installation of ubuntu https://github.com/thedrow/devenv-python/blob/master/bootstrap.sh
[10:25] <ngomes> carroarmato0, yes
[10:25] <ngomes> 11.10 to 12.04
[10:26] <ngomes> update....························^^^···^  ·
[10:26] <ngomes> ops sorry
[10:26] <ngomes> update-manager -d shows available
[10:27] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: I'm wondering if kickstart can do so in it's post event
[10:27] <SwashBuckla> would i t be something you include in a custom livecd?
[10:27] <SwashBuckla> it*
[10:28] <carroarmato0> ngomes: -d, --devel-release
[10:28] <SwashBuckla> (@ the_drow )
[10:28] <the_drow> kinda. I'd prefer installation over network.
[10:28] <SwashBuckla> this channel is a bit too busy to not include nick: prefix
[10:28] <CellTech> I could lightening speed my computer up and use my spare 120gb drive as a swapspace drive :)
[10:28] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: oh right
[10:29] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: I'm writing a series of blog posts about selecting and installing an OS development workstation for python
[10:29] <SwashBuckla> how are you installing Ubuntu over the network? Surely that has an exit code
[10:29] <SwashBuckla> and you can just run your command afterwards in the sequence
[10:30] <the_drow> using kickstart
[10:30] <sebrock> where are personal packages discussed?
[10:30] <Dr_willis_> sebrock,  clarify what you mean.
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> sebrock  if you mean PPAs, contact the maintainer
[10:31] <sebrock> Dr_willis_: ok
[10:31] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: I know I can run my command after using %post but I'm actually not sure in what state the OS is. Can it run everything as usual? If I login and run my script from the shell will the results be the same?
[10:31] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: I have no experience doing what you're doing..
[10:31] <SwashBuckla> so good luck, lemme know if you find a solution as I'm intruigued
[10:32] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: there is not much documentation of real world use cases regarding automated installation.
[10:32] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: I'm a developer, not an IT expert.
[10:33] <the_drow> SwashBuckla: btw, http://omerkatz.com
[10:34] <ngomes> is there a easy way to change language in ubuntu ?
[10:34] <ngomes> i want it in english
[10:35] <SwashBuckla> the_drow: oh cool. That might come in handy :)
[10:36] <SwashBuckla> it's good that you're documenting it
[10:38] <ngomes> System/Administration/Language Support/Install Remove Languages
[10:38] <ngomes> can anyone tell me what cli command is this ?
[10:39] <jrib> ngomes: install the corresponding language pack in apt
[10:39] <ngomes> jrib, apt-get ?
[10:39] <pea_brain> dear all, i have a remote server. i updated the OS ( ubuntu 10.04 ) to latest updates and rebooted. now, there is no one in office as it is a sunday and the server has come back online partially. that is, only apache service has started the mysqld and even sshd has not started. is there a way out ? is anyone facing such issues with the latest 10.04 lts server updates ? is there a way to prioritize sshd so that i can still control the server in such sit
[10:40] <jrib> ngomes: apt-get install language-pack-WHATEVER
[10:40] <ngomes> jrib, ok
[10:40] <jrib> pea_brain: if ssh is down, then you need to go into the office
[10:41] <pea_brain> how to prioritize sshd to startup first ?
[10:41] <jrib> pea_brain: you don't even know what's wrong yet :)
[10:42] <pea_brain> jrib: very true.
[10:43] <ngomes> jrib, i did, still using old language
[10:43] <jrib> ngomes: yes, that just enables support.  You still need to choose your language at the login screen
[10:43] <pea_brain> jrib: is there something similar to interactive mode startup in ubuntu, so that i can send a support person and try to get the server up ?
[10:44] <ngomes> jrib, ok , gonna try it
[10:44] <fl1bbl3> look at the S<number> scripts in rc.d
[10:44] <jrib> pea_brain: not really, but I'd go look at what's on the screen first
[10:44] <fl1bbl3> thats how you prioritise stuff to start before other stuff
[10:44] <jrib> fl1bbl3: keep in mind ubuntu now uses upstart for a lot of init scripts
[10:45] <fl1bbl3> ah ok, tbh haven't had to mess with that stuff for ages (clearly).  Thanks jrib
[10:51] <olimak> Looking for step-by-step help to install a wired network card driver in Ub 10.04.
[10:52] <pea_brain> Thanks to all, I will try to send someone to the office ;)
[10:54] <nepta> how can i add some script at boot?
[10:54] <jrib> nepta: what script?
[10:55] <nepta> something like gdm or more generally a
[10:55] <nepta> my own bash script*
[10:57] <jrib> nepta: be more specific...
[10:58] <nepta> i want to execute a specific command (for reverse ssh things) every time my computer reboot
[10:58] <jrib> nepta: for something like that you should probably just use @reboot in cron
[10:59] <ngomes> nepta, /etc/rc.local , put there your specific command
[11:04] <Happy> hi
[11:05] <alo21> where are printers drivers in Ubuntu
[11:06] <ngomes> alo21, activate CUPS and then manage it at http://localhost:631
[11:06] <Happy> yes CUPS
[11:06] <alo21> ngomes: yes.. but I would know their location in Ubuntu
[11:07] <Happy> hi
[11:08] <Happy> hi
[11:08] <dmitry_> hi
[11:08] <ngomes> Happy, what do you want ?
[11:09] <Happy> just watching - sorry
[11:10] <dmitry_> #channel
[11:12] <ngomes> alo21, why is that so important ?
[11:13] <alo21> ngomes: because Linux is famous for its freedom to modify
[11:14] <ngomes> i only found some at /usr/share/ppd/ , not not quite the full database that cups have it
[11:15] <oCean> alo21: see /usr/share/cups/drv and subdirs under /usr/lib/cups
[11:18] <alo21> oCean: thanks... I knew the driver were written in C or C++ an not in Python
[11:20] <ngomes> the driver is a txt file with parameters ... ?
[11:20] <ngomes> known as PPD files ?
[11:23] <iceroot> ngomes: postscript printer description which is using the postscript driver
[11:23] <iceroot> ngomes: so you only need a description/parameter for the printer
[11:23] <pneftali> hi guys how can i reset the time settings on my machine ? i want to reset it to utc
[11:24] <ngomes> iceroot, so , the description/parameter is generated by postscript driver
[11:24] <iceroot> ngomes: no, generated by the maintainer who is providing the file
[11:24] <iceroot> ngomes: manufactor or someone like that
[11:25] <gogeta> Bo
[11:26] <ngomes> manufactors put available PPD files
[11:26] <ngomes> i did install mine based on that
[11:28] <gogeta> Slow morning

[11:35] <nik90> all of a sudden

[13:06] <user__> good morning
[13:06] <Bearnik> hi all
[13:07] <user__> I have xubuntu installed and just downloaded docky. How do I get rid of the black square around it? it said something about activating desktop something.
[13:07] <etzerd> hello all
[13:08] <etzerd> how can I add files to the desktop?
[13:08] <user__> etzerd, what linux you have?
[13:08] <etzerd> version 12
[13:08] <user__> ubuntu?
[13:08] <etzerd> ubuntu
[13:09] <user__> I don't think they support that yet, but you should be able to drag and drop. Newbie here
[13:09] <etzerd> wehn I click a file on the side bar it take couple second before start.
[13:10] <user__> how much memory are you running?
[13:10] <etzerd> when I tried to drag and drop it just remove it from the side bar and it doesn't add it to the desktop.
[13:10] <etzerd> I have 3 G memory
[13:11] <user__> I don't know man, sorry. I don't use 12, I did one time and hated it. I now use 10.04 LTS
[13:11] <etzerd> is there a way I can swith to the old menu?
[13:11] <user__> However I just installed xubuntu 11 on a slower desktop and am having trouble configuring it.
[13:12] <etzerd> I'm moving back to version 10.
[13:12] <etzerd> user__ thanks
[13:12] <ruman> hi
[13:12] <user__> I wish I could have helped but I don't think there is anybody else in here. lol I can't get anyody to help me.
[13:13] <user__> good morning ruman
[13:13] <ruman> v good morning
[13:13] <CoJaBo> ..Is there anything that can trascode/cut/edit/anything a .rm file on linux?
[13:14] <ruman> is any one there
[13:14] <jrib> CoJaBo: have you tried ffmpeg and mencode?
[13:15] <jrib> r
[13:15] <user__> http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=.rm+file+in+linux
[13:15] <oCean> user__: please don't use lmgtfy in here
[13:15] <CoJaBo> jrib: ffmpeg gives some format error, mencoder just freezes on frame 6.
[13:15] <user__> ok sorry, lol, because I have no clue, I'm a newbie myself
[13:16] <Guest94472> no
[13:16] <jrib> CoJaBo: and mplayer can play it?
[13:16] <CoJaBo> user__: I've already tried the obvious.
[13:16] <ruman> i just want know about system hardware configuration
[13:16] <oCean> user__: if you are not confident you are able to help, please just sit back and watch
[13:16] <CoJaBo> jrib: mplayer and vlc will play it, but cannot seek.
[13:16] <jrib> CoJaBo: what mencoder command are you issuing?
[13:17] <user__> Now I get the attention of the gurus, but yet when I ask a question I can't get any response. I feel like I'm in school again, only attention I could get was when I was bad.
[13:17] <jrib> user__: please stick to support
[13:18] <CoJaBo> jrib: mencoder tvrec.rm -ovc raw -oac pcm -o out.avi
[13:18] <CoJaBo> Any -ovc option does the same, tthats just the last i tried..
[13:18] <user__> ok fine, here is the question again. How to get rid of the black square around my docky in xubuntu?
[13:19] <jrib> CoJaBo: try #mplayer.  I know I've seen rm transcoded using mencoder somewhere, but I'm not sure of the details
[13:21] <ruman> how can we install ubuntu on intel p4 system with 512 Mb of ram
[13:21] <CoJaBo> ...huh. I just found, apperently ffmpeg is able to encode the video if I ignore the audio, and mplayer barfs if I encode the video but can create an audio-only broken file if i tell it to copy the video.
[13:21] <ruman> any one can help me
[13:22] <jrib> ruman: try the alternate install?  You may want to consider a lighter desktop environment than unity (like xfce for example)
[13:22] <jrib> !alternate | ruman
[13:22] <zykotick9> ruman: with 512RAM you should probably check out lubuntu (ubuntu recommends 1GB minimum)
[13:22] <jrib> !xubuntu | ruman
[13:22] <compdoc> ruman, try the Lightweight GUI alternative (Xubuntu and Lubuntu)
[13:22] <compdoc> ruman:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[13:22] <ruman> ok fine yhanx
[13:24] <ruman> thanks to all ..let me do this
[13:26] <Carl_Miller> Hey all, Studio 11.10 here
[13:26] <ruman> will  i able to run sofphone on lubuntu or any othe lighter version.....
[13:26] <Carl_Miller> AMD Catalyst Control Centre says I can only go up to 1600x1200 when I know for a fact that I can get 1920x1080
[13:26] <Carl_Miller> how do I put in custom resolutions?
[13:28] <amitb> hii
[13:29] <amitb> hows yuour experience with upgrading oneiric to precise? I am currently doing it..
[13:29] <Newbuntu2> hello!
[13:29] <theadmin> !precise | amitb
[13:30] <compdoc> 12.04 should be released soon
[13:31] <Carl_Miller> Anyone?
[13:32] <CoJaBo> Carl_Miller: ..is it detecting the monitor correctly?
[13:32] <Carl_Miller> CoJaBo, it detects it as an Analog Monitor
[13:32] <Carl_Miller> which is correct enough because I'm using VGA
[13:34] <CoJaBo> lol, can vga even do 1920x1080? oddly enough, mine refused to detect the dvi one at max res till i removed the vga one (tho that was with dual monitors and an nvidia card)
[13:34] <compdoc> 1600x1200 should be a top range, dont you have a choice of the rez you want as a lower rez??
[13:34] <compdoc> -?
[13:35] <Carl_Miller> CoJaBo, yes it can
[13:35] <Carl_Miller> This exact monitor, this exact gfx card, and this exact computer can go up to 1920x1080 on the Redmond OS
[13:37] <Carl_Miller> So, how do I add custom resolutions?
[13:38] <diverdude> Hello, is there any software i can use to change the framerate of a movie so that i can make it run twice as fast?
[13:39] <CoJaBo> diverdude: Tried avidemux?
[13:40] <humdrum> Hi, I'm having partition issues. I was dual booting vista and Ubuntu 11.10 but decided to remove sda1(NTFS) with gparted.iso, thinking I could reallocate this space to my linux partition. When I try to do this, I get an error to do with overlapping partitions. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
[13:40] <diverdude> CoJaBo: can i also use that to cut parts of the movie away?
[13:41] <CoJaBo> diverdude: yes
[13:41] <IamKaiser> Hi
[13:41] <Carl_Miller> @_@
[13:42] <CoJaBo> Carl_Miller: Nvidia's just saved the resolution to the X config files- if ATI's happens to be the same, it may work to change it there
[13:42] <compdoc> Carl_Miller, according to google, you can modify xorg.conf  :   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/video-resolution-issue-for-ubuntu-10-04-a-809681/
[13:43] <CoJaBo> ^
[13:43] <Carl_Miller> OK
[13:44] <humdrum> Is there anybody who could help me with the above issue, or direct me to somewhere that may be able to help? Thanks.
[13:46] <hydester> anybody using a sony handycam (hdr-cx190, 210, etc.) an downloading the videos successfully and played via linux?  i'm deciding if this is the camera i want to buy
[13:46] <CoJaBo> k, so I just finished encoding 4.5 hours of H.264 video at ntsc resolution in 30 mins, on a netbook. Something tells me this file is gonna be either the wrong codec or broken -_-'
[13:47] <CoJaBo> hydester: What format does it record to, is what matters.
[13:47] <compdoc> thats more work than netbooks were ever meant to do
[13:50] <CoJaBo> compdoc: yeh, mustve had the wrong option to ffmpeg or something.. I ended up with a scaled down divx file that lookks even more like barf than the input did wth ;/
[13:51] <NurseDad> is ubuntu tweak in the software center?
[13:51] <zykotick9> NurseDad: nope
[13:52] <zykotick9> NurseDad: well, not in the default repos anyways
[13:52] <NurseDad> how do i add more repos
[13:53] <synapse> software center -> other
[13:53] <synapse> or add to sources.lst
[13:53] <NurseDad> ok
[13:54] <zykotick9> synrat: fyi the filename is sources.list and you probably shouldn't be editing it manually (under most circumstances)
[13:54] <donidonidonib> hey guys
[13:54] <zykotick9> tabfail sorry synrat, was aimed at synapse but i guess they left

[13:55] <donidonidonib> can someone help me? i'm trying to install a usb-nic (10/100mbit) and it does not work
[13:55] <zykotick9> forevis: audacious is very winamp-like, not sure it has your feature requirement
[13:55] <donidonidonib> os: ubuntu server 10
[13:55] <forevis> thanks i will try
[13:56] <theadmin> donidonidonib: Is usbnet loaded?
[13:56] <theadmin> donidonidonib: sudo modprobe usbnet
[13:56] <donidonidonib> lsmod says yes
[13:57] <theadmin> donidonidonib: Hm, then it's weird. Well, does "sudo ip link set usb0 up" do anything?
[13:57] <donidonidonib> "cannot find device "usb0"
[13:58] <zykotick9> theadmin: i'm just curious, USB ethernet show up as usb0/usb1 instead of eth0? [i've never used a USB ethernet before]
[13:58] <theadmin> zykotick9: Normally so, yeah
[13:59] <zykotick9> theadmin: interesting, thanks.
[14:00] <donidonidonib> lsusb detects the device: Buss 001 Device 008: ID 0b95:772b ASIX Electronics Corp.

[14:01] <Flywater> Why ubuntu crash when i login the system on my notebook
[14:01] <zykotick9> Flywater: are you using 12.04 by chance?
[14:01] <donidonidonib> but "ifconfig -a" just shows eth0 (old) loopback and wlan0 (old)
[14:01] <Imre> Hy folks. Do you know any program that can create a live cd from my installed ubuntu system?
[14:02] <Flywater> yes,but the ubuntu 11.10 has the bug,too
[14:02] <zykotick9> Flywater: #ubuntu+1 is the channel you want then...
[14:03] <Flywater> my CPU is APU E-350
[14:03] <CoJaBo> k, i give up. the video can look like barf for all i care -_-'
[14:03] <donidonidonib> i've been searching via google. the usbnic should show up as eth1
[14:03] <CoJaBo> srsly, who records 5 hours of tv in realvideo format?? D=
[14:03] <minimec> Flywater: can you login to a unity2d session? Otherwise try to 'mv .Xauthority .Xauthority-old' in a console.
[14:03] <donidonidonib> but it does not show up after all
[14:04] <Flywater> I want to konw why...
[14:04] <theadmin> Imre: This might be of help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[14:04] <Flywater> no,it all freeze
[14:05] <Flywater> i can't do anything
[14:05] <zykotick9> minimec: if Flywater is using 12.04 please don't offer support here (other then directing them to the proper channel, #ubuntu+1)
[14:05] <KarmaComa> ubuntu sucks
[14:05] <minimec> Flywater: 'Freezing' might point to a gpu problem.
[14:05] <Flywater> 11.10 has the problem,too
[14:05] <CoJaBo> KarmaComa: You're in the wrong channel then :P
[14:05] <Flywater> 11
[14:05] <KarmaComa> kubuntu is cool
[14:05] <CoJaBo> ^^
[14:06] <CoJaBo> kde ftw
[14:06] <minimec> zykotick9: comeon... This is 'ubuntu' basics and not release related...
[14:06] <Flywater> 11.10 has the problem,too
[14:06] <KarmaComa> plasma technology is the best i have ever seen
[14:06] <Imre> Any Remastersys alternative?
[14:06] <KarmaComa> CoJaBo: it's not about kde itself
[14:07] <zykotick9> minimec: doesn't matter... if you use alpha/beta the proper channel for support is #ubuntu+1 - this channel would be filled with beta support requests if it where allowed
[14:07] <fragske> Not the biggest fan of kde anymore
[14:07] <KarmaComa> fragske: why so?
[14:07] <fragske> I don't know, it doesn't feel crisp enough for me
[14:07] <minimec> zykotick9: I can accept that point of view ... ;)
[14:07] <bbbbbbbb> my laptop is acting weird. sometimes it freezes (mostly when playing web video, but sometimes when just using libreoffice or something). when it played sound at the time, there's about a second that loops infinitely, the picture is frozen in place. I am using ubuntu 11.04
[14:07] <CoJaBo> Flywater: X crashes, or the whole system? I had to do an apt-get upgrade from terminal before i could login on 11.10
[14:07] <fragske> been using unity for quite a while now
[14:07] <fragske> I like it
[14:08] <Flywater> but there is a solution : enable the network boot and set it boot first
[14:08] <KarmaComa> sorry for that, but they are so promising for me, they have something new everyday not like gnome
[14:08] <bbbbbbbb> not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.
[14:08] <KarmaComa> gnome3 is good and everything
[14:08] <KarmaComa> but theres always but
[14:08] <l0rdkadaj> sorry to interrupt, but is Ubuntu Friendly working?
[14:08] <KarmaComa> about friendly yes it is
[14:09] <fragske> also, KDE 4.* never run that smooth for me
[14:09] <theadmin> KarmaComa: Well, this channel is for support issues only. If you like gnome2, try XFCE.
[14:09] <l0rdkadaj> I've sent my hardware data to the hardware db, but my laptop is not appearing in the list
[14:09] <fragske> which annoyed the hell out of me
[14:09] <l0rdkadaj> either automatically or manually
[14:09] <l0rdkadaj> ^^
[14:10] <hydester> i second the xfce/xubuntu suggestion.  also uses less resources on my 2 gb dual-core laptop
[14:10] <Flywater> bbbbbbbb 22时08分43秒
[14:10] <KarmaComa> fragske: its the same muon and same kernel and same everything
[14:10] <Flywater> not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.yes
[14:10] <hydester> xubuntu takes you back to simplicity :)
[14:10] <KarmaComa> how not smooth?
[14:11] <bbbbbbbb> Flywater: I am talking about my own issue, not related to yours. I guess.
[14:11] <KarmaComa> just different desktop thats all
[14:11] <fragske> I don't know, there were some glitches for me
[14:11] <fragske> And I don't experience these with unity ... or gnome
[14:11] <fragske> I used to be a big fan of KDE
[14:11] <Flywater> sorry
[14:12] <KarmaComa> yeah
[14:12] <Flywater> i think KDE is too windows-like
[14:12] <theadmin> !ot | Everyone, this is a support channel, please move the chit-chat
[14:13] <Flywater> and Gnome3 is OSX-like
[14:13] <KarmaComa> we cant chat here? lol
[14:13] <pranavk> when is the.12.04 expected to release. ?.
[14:13] <theadmin> KarmaComa: Yes, you can't, this is a support channel.
[14:13] <KarmaComa> ok :)
[14:13] <Flywater> oh my god
[14:14] <theadmin> pranavk: Visit #ubuntu+1 for discussion and/or support on Precise.
[14:14] <KarmaComa> thanks
[14:14] <Flywater> ok
[14:15] <agreaves> Hi, can anybody direct as to which channel to get ubuntu support from?
[14:15] <amitb12> hii a unique problem here.. my college has banned facebook or any url with facebook.. now i am trying to upgrade and it fails with Failed to fetch  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gwibber/gwibber-service-facebook_3.4.0-0ubuntu4_all.deb  Size mismatch
[14:15] <amitb12> any help plz
[14:15] <_Marcus> agreaves: This one
[14:16] <amitb12> hii a unique problem here.. my college has banned facebook or any url with facebook.. now i am trying to upgrade and it fails with Failed to fetch  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gwibber/gwibber-service-facebook_3.4.0-0ubuntu4_all.deb  Size mismatch
[14:16] <zykotick9> amitb12: "Size mismatch", is it 0kb?  you might want to delete gwibber-service-facebook_3.4.0-0ubuntu4_all.deb from /var/cache/apt/archives and try again
[14:16] <amitb12> plz help
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> amitb12  ask your colleague to to unban facebook
[14:16] <zykotick9> !repeat | amitb12
[14:16] <bbbbbbbb> my laptop is acting weird. sometimes it freezes (mostly when playing web video, but sometimes when just using libreoffice or something). when it played sound at the time, there's about a second that loops infinitely, the picture is frozen in place. I am using ubuntu 11.04. it's not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.
[14:17] <amitb12> zykotick9: MonkeyDust cant ask college
[14:17] <amitb12> any other idea
[14:17] <auronandace> amitb12: wean yourself off facebook
[14:17] <mellett68> amitb12, the download is probably successful, but instead of receiving the deb it's getting a filter page. You're not going to be able to circumvent their filtering without permission
[14:18] <RyoRonin> amitb12 proxy only, or just use smartphone
[14:18] <amitb12> can it uninstall gwibber facebook plugin and then try??
[14:18] <_Marcus> amitb12: Just so you know, an application that connects with Facebook uses Facebook SDK, which has to use Facebook's website.
[14:18] <mellett68> amitb12, that might be the only way.
[14:18] <agreaves> Can anyone help me with a wireless mouse connection in ubuntu?
[14:19] <bbbbbbbb> amitb12: try upgrading from a different connection?
[14:20] <agreaves> Can anybody help me get a generic wireless mouse to work under ubuntu?
[14:21] <sent> !details
[14:21] <mellett68> agreaves, what's happening exactly? I just plugged mine in and it worked :)
[14:21] <bbbbbbbb> same here
[14:21] <RyoRonin> agreaves, also usb or bluetooth
[14:22] <agreaves> Im using ubuntu 12.04 I plugged the wireless receiver in and it wont connect to the mouse
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> agreaves  ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:22] <agreaves> how do I get to that channel?
[14:22] <krababbel> can I simply add a vlan by naming an interface eth0.10 for instance?
[14:23] <bbbbbbbb> you type /join #ubuntu+1
[14:23] <agreaves> thank you
[14:24] <bbbbbbbb> my laptop is acting weird. sometimes it freezes (mostly when playing web video, but sometimes when just using libreoffice or something). when it played sound at the time, there's about a second that loops infinitely, the picture is frozen in place. I am using ubuntu 11.04. it's not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.
[14:25] <RyoRonin> bbbbbbbb is it different with different shells?
[14:25] <bbbbbbbb> RyoRonin: huh? shells?
[14:25] <RyoRonin> bbbbbbb different like unity gnome3
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> RyoRonin  you mean desktop environments
[14:26] <zykotick9> RyoRonin: shells are a terminal thing.  Unity/XFCE/Gnome3 are Desktop Environments, or Windows Managers
[14:27] <bbbbbbbb> havent tried
[14:27] <RyoRonin> zykotick9, sorry assumed would be same lingo..
[14:27] <RyoRonin> bbbbbbb, yeah what zykotick9 said :)
[14:28] <bbbbbbbb> RyoRonin: yeah, I only know about Gnome 2.32
[14:28] <bbbbbbbb> and there I have this problem
[14:29] <zykotick9> bbbbbbbb: can i ask, what video card are you using?
[14:30] <numberto> Hi guys, I have intalled WoW using wine, but when I start it, it says could not open game dll
[14:30] <TjaxT> Is It possible to make Cli shortcuts for multiple commands and if so will that effect install scripts?
[14:30] <bbbbbbbb> zykotick9: it is a built in intel HD video card. the laptop is a HP Pavilion g6-1032eg
[14:30] <_Marcus> numberto: Did you install it correctly?
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> numberto  dll sounds windows to me, type /join ##windows (double #)
[14:31] <zykotick9> bbbbbbbb: ok, just curious if it was ATI.  best of luck.
[14:31] <numberto> _Marcus: what is a correct way to install it?
[14:31] <_Marcus> MonkeyDust: ##windows wont help him, I think he should try #wine
[14:31] <numberto> MonkeyDust: comedian?
[14:32] <auronandace> !appdb | numberto
[14:32] <numberto> _Marcus: there is nobody in #wine, so I thought somebody here tried to do it before
[14:32] <XiRoN> HI
[14:32] <_Marcus> Hi XiRoN
[14:32] <_Marcus> numberto: Nobody there? There seems to be people here
[14:32] <zykotick9> numberto: #winehq is the channel
[14:32] <RyoRonin> numberto, I have  tried in the past, and normally it installs, but rather laggy at any resolution
[14:32] <numberto> zykotick9: thanks
[14:33] <TjaxT> hi
[14:33] <auronandace> _Marcus: #winehq not #wine
[14:33] <numberto> zykotick9: let me check
[14:33] <_Marcus> auronandace: Oh
[14:33] <XiRoN> I have a process running under a SCREEN thing, I want to get back to output log of the running program within screen, how do I do this?
[14:33] <zykotick9> XiRoN: "screen -ls" and "screen -r" might be handy (assuming you detacted)
[14:33] <TjaxT> Is It possible to make Cli shortcuts for multiple commands and if so will that effect install scripts? anyone know
[14:34] <_Marcus> TjaxT: What do you mean?
[14:34] <XiRoN> zykotick9: Thanks dude!
[14:34] <_Marcus> TjaxT: You could put some stuff in a sh file, and call it
[14:35] <TjaxT> can I make a single cmd that would do say  sudo apt-get update
[14:35] <Anomymous123> hi i'm noob for irc
[14:35] <auronandace> Anomymous123: thats awesome
[14:35] <clausen> I think Ubuntu 11.04 has a miscompiled ssh
[14:36] <clausen> hmmm, sorry I'll go to #ubuntu-devel
[14:36] <Newbuntu2> I have a NAS with family pictures, and I keep a copy on my computer. I use picasa(via wine) to index and make albums etc. My wife uses windows to access the NAS. I want to update my local copy if new pictures are added to the NAS directly, and I don't want to lose my pictures if pictures on the NAS get deleted.Is rsync the best solution?
[14:36] <Anomymous123> what is irc about..
[14:36] <_Marcus> TjaxT: That's a pretty short command as it is, but you could have something in C saying "system("sudo apt-get update");" and then take the executable after it builds and put it in /usr/bin
[14:36] <Anomymous123> how it is related to hacking..
[14:37] <Anomymous123> any good site to get info about that
[14:37] <_Marcus> Anomymous123: Ask #freenode. To get there, type "/join #freenode", without quotation marks
[14:37] <auronandace> Anomymous123: hacking? do you mean coding?
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> Anomymous123  irc is a way to communicate
[14:37] <_Marcus> Anonymous123: This is the Ubuntu support chat that you are in. Here you will get support for Ubuntu. The question you are asking is not related, so you should look around for a channel that is related to that topic.
[14:37] <bbbbbbbb>  my laptop is acting weird. sometimes it freezes (mostly when playing web video, but sometimes when just using libreoffice or something). when it played sound at the time, there's about a second that loops infinitely, the picture is frozen in place. I am using ubuntu 11.04. it's not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.
[14:38] <Anomymous123> but i've heard about it mostly for hackers communication channel
[14:38] <XiRoN> How to I detach from SCREEN?
[14:38] <_Marcus> Anomymous123: You heard wrong
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> XiRoN  ctrl-a D
[14:38] <zykotick9> XiRoN: ctrl+a then d
[14:38] <TjaxT> yeah that one was short but just a example.
[14:38] <auronandace> Anomymous123: don't believe everything you hear
[14:38] <XiRoN> thanks ;)
[14:39] <fidel> Anomymous123: and believe wiki ;)
[14:39] <_Marcus> Anomymous123: Look, this channel isn't a directory. Ask #freenode if you want to find a channel for that topic.
[14:39] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: doesn't seem capital D works...
[14:39] <bbbbbbbb> Anomymous123: hackers communicate with it, yes. normal people do as well. hackers even use computers, and I have heard of normal people using those as well *gasp*
[14:39] <fidel> ;)
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> and believe politicians
[14:39] <TjaxT> whats normal lol
[14:39] <RyoRonin> _TjaxT, a bash script and then chmod +x the file but most likely you will still need to enter password when it runs for sudo, unless you have changed how sudo handles passwords
[14:40] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  lower case d does the trick
[14:41] <Anomymous123> okay...i'will collect more info on that...and join u people soon...if possible give me best link to know more about irc and #ubuntu channel...
[14:41] <Newbuntu2> I have a NAS with family pictures, and I keep a copy on my computer. I use picasa(via wine) to index and make albums etc. My wife uses windows to access the NAS. I want to update my local copy if new pictures are added to the NAS directly, and I don't want to lose my pictures if pictures on the NAS get deleted.Is rsync the best solution?
[14:42] <_Marcus> !irc | Anomymous123
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> Anomymous123  you'll get to know #ubuntu if you regularly visit the channel
[14:42] <TjaxT> thanks for the help RyoRonin
[14:43] <auronandace> !ubuntu | Anomymous123
[14:43] <RyoRonin> _TjaxT, like this #!/bin/bash
[14:43] <RyoRonin> shutdown -P -h now
[14:44] <RyoRonin> Tjaxt, shutdown -P -h now
[14:44] <detly> I'm using 11.10, and I'd like to encode h264 (or x264) for web video. I have avidemux installed, but neither of those formats is listed in the video selection. I have the medibuntu repo in my sources, but which package do I need for h264?
[14:44] <TjaxT> that will create the bash script?
[14:44] <zykotick9> RyoRonin: is the -P necessary?  i've never used it - and my system powers down.  TjaxT
[14:44] <RyoRonin> Tjaxt, no you have to open a terminal and use like nano update and enter the information
[14:45] <RyoRonin> zykoticks9, I have 2 laptops that I shuttdown and without the -P it doesn't power down
[14:45] <zykotick9> !tab > RyoRonin
[14:45] <zykotick9> RyoRonin: interesting, that uncommon
[14:45] <ruman> an you tell me any softphone which could run easily on xubuntu or lubuntu..please help
[14:47] <zykotick9> detly: if you want h264/aac i'd recommend handbrake (not in default repo), there is a gui and cli version
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> ruman  there's ekiga
[14:47] <OerHeks> detly, i think you need the libavformat & libavformat-extra-52 package > http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=912
[14:48] <Anomymous123> ubottu: could u help me about how to use irc...i'm now using chatzilla..
[14:48] <auronandace> Anomymous123: /join #freenode
[14:48] <Keo> i added another CPU on my ubuntu 10 box in vsphere is there an easy way to see if ubuntu sees it and is using it
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> Anomymous123  the best way to learn is by using it and getting familiar with it
[14:49] <firc> Hi
[14:49] <firc> I have some trouble using xrandr
[14:49] <firc> I tried adding a mode using the cvt command
[14:49] <zykotick9> Keo: "cat /proc/cpu" see how many "processor: #" it lists
[14:49] <firc> now when I do a xrandr --addmode it shows BadMatch
[14:49] <RyoRonin> zykotick9: and the laptops are remote, they sit in limbo without the -P, if I shutdown from the actual laptops they shutdown without issue with the normal shutdown command
[14:50] <uzf> Does anyone know why I am not able to select a DVB device number (I.e., 0 or 1) in mythtv-setup?  It appears that kernel modules are loaded, but I don't have anything but "saa7146: register extension 'dvb'" when my system boots.
[14:50] <zykotick9> RyoRonin: again, that is an odd case... i certainly couldn't explain it
[14:51] <RyoRonin> zykotick9: thanks for the info though.
[14:51] <zykotick9> uzf: i'd check "dmesg | grep firmware" do you get any messages about missing?
[14:52] <detly> zykotick9 OerHeks: hmm, handbrake has it available (but not ogg or webm, alas), but not avidemux
[14:52] <Anomymous123> MonkeDust: how to reply to perticular user, do i need to use any tag like we use @ in twitter
[14:52] <Keo> thx
[14:53] <uzf> zykotick9: nothing is there
[14:53] <zykotick9> detly: handbrake uses it's own version of ffmpeg that has stuff the ubuntu's version removes (medibuntu's version should support h264 though).  I'm not sure avidemux supports h264 though...
[14:53] <zykotick9> uzf: ok, just checking.  best of luck.
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> Anomymous123  type a few characters of a name and then tab to complete, followed by your comment
[14:54] <^erik^> Salve a Tutti
[14:54] <fidel> Anomymous123: first of all you should listen ot other users. this is the ubuntu-support-channel - were the topic is "ubuntu". If you want to learn about basic irc things consider using another channel or i.e. online docs about it like the wiki article, or the freenode faq. i bet they give a good start. regarding asking in irc consider reading that long but good article: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - Welcome in irc ;)
[14:55] <detly> zykotick9: is there a program that can render video in all of the usual web formats? (mp4, ogv, webm)
[14:55] <_Marcus> !it | ^erik^
[14:55] <zykotick9> detly: ffmpeg from medibuntu might be your best bet.
[14:56] <zykotick9> detly: i wish, oh have i wish, handbrake did webm
[14:56] <zykotick9> s/have/how/
[14:56] <bbbbbbbb> my laptop is acting weird. sometimes it freezes (mostly when playing web video, but sometimes when just using libreoffice or something). when it played sound at the time, there's about a second that loops infinitely, the picture is frozen in place. I am using ubuntu 11.04. it's not an x crash, I can't do anything but cut the power and reboot.
[14:57] <Anomymous123> MonkeyDust: Thanks...
[14:57] <Anomymous123> fidel: okay...will join u soon..
[14:58] <Caifas> Hello guys, can anyone give me a hand with partition encryption? I need to create a encrypted partition that will be decrypted with a key inside a pendrive, can anyone point me in a direction?
[14:59] <dekker> Hey all. I have a problem
[14:59] <detly> zykotick9: bah, I can't install the medibuntu ffmpeg, the oneiric-updates version is higher and something's stopping me from forcing the version
[14:59] <dekker> I started a dist-upgrade on my laptop and have no battery.
[15:00] <_Marcus> dekker: Plug in a charger
[15:00] <dekker> Now, I found out it'll take 4 hours. I am not sure if I -have- 4 hours to complete this install
[15:00] <ruman> please suggest  any softphone which could run easily on xubuntu or lubuntu platform ..for calling  purpose...through dialer CTI server
[15:00] <zykotick9> detly: sorry, i can't help there.  the ffmpeg from ubuntu repos lacks AAC, thus MP4 support is incomplete.
[15:00] <dekker> As in, the battery does not work and I have no working battery, _Marcus
[15:00] <quackers> if it dies during upgrade you could lose the system
[15:00] <dekker> I'd like to know if there's a way to interrupt or pause an upgrade safely. It's past the download stage and is currently installing updates
[15:01] <_Marcus> dekker: So the battery isn't functional?
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> !info ekiga | ruman
[15:01] <dekker> Nop. It acts as if it's not connected
[15:01] <bbbbbbbb> caifas: truecrypt? you can use keyfiles with that
[15:01] <_Marcus> dekker: So I don't understand, does it work or does it not work?
[15:01] <theverant> I partitioned two disks with GParted to NTFS.  Now one of them is reporting extra partitions (both with the original name of the single partition) and the second disk is reporting that it is blank (NTFS with one partition and %100 disk space free).  Both disks just had a great amount of important stuff copied to them - is there any hope of recovery?
[15:02] <dekker> Actually, _Marcus, on -windows-, it acts as if the battery is not connected. On Ubuntu, it doesn't even show anything related to batteries as well. Currently on a charger, and I know it'll just lose power completely if I pull the plug.
[15:02] <theverant> Oh and Windows 7 doesn't recognized either disk
[15:02] <Caifas> bbbbbbbb: I'll take a look, ty :D
[15:02] <_Marcus> dekker: My advice would be try to keep the charger in
[15:03] <_Marcus> theverant: If Windows isn't detecting the NTFS partition, it could have a problem with the partition
[15:03] <quackers> theverant, what does sudo fdisk -l show?
[15:03] <sentriz> Anyone know how to dual-boot ubuntu & Windows 7 ?
[15:03] <dekker> _Marcus, that is a very sensible kind of advice and I appreciate it (even though I already figured as much), but what do I do if I have to go before the upgrade completes?
[15:03] <dekker> I kind of figured the dist-upgrade to take maybe an hour or two :P
[15:04] <detly> zykotick9: but there's libfaac0
[15:04] <quackers> it may only take an hour dekker
[15:04] <MonkeyDust> sentriz  first install windows, then ubuntu
[15:04] <sentriz> ..
[15:04] <sentriz> okay,
[15:04] <dekker> Hm. Whoops. It started showing 4 hours, now it shows 1 hour 37 mins
[15:04] <zykotick9> detly: all i know, it ffmpeg in default ubuntu repo doesn't support AAC, you need mediubuntu's version for that.
[15:05] <dekker> I did not know Microsoft provided the estimator :P
[15:05] <zykotick9> s/it/is/
[15:05] <sentriz> Windows is installed, when I boot ubuntu from USB, there's no option for side-by-side like there used to be - MonkeyDust
[15:05] <_Marcus> sentriz: What version of Ubuntu are you installing?
[15:05] <dekker> Thanks for taking the time to answer my question anyway, quackers and _Marcus! :)
[15:06] <dekker> Now.. if I -did- have to unplug it... best advice is to tell my laptop to kiss its virtual hindside goodbye?
[15:06] <quackers> sentris how many primary partitions is Windows using?
[15:06] <quackers> dekker it's possible
[15:07] <myrkraverk> Hi, I just installed a package with apt-get, let's call it p.  Can apt-get tell me what files were installed?
[15:07] <sentriz> _Marcus - ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386
[15:07] <dekker> Good to hear. What would I have to do, quackers? For future reference and stuff
[15:07] <theadmin> myrkraverk: dpkg -L p
[15:07] <myrkraverk> Ah, thanks.
[15:07] <_Marcus> sentriz: It will ask you what you want to do at one point. Install Ubuntu over Windows, install it next to Windows, or something else
[15:08] <quackers> myrkraverk, synaptic package manager would tell you
[15:08] <_Marcus> sentriz: This is at the begining. Select next to Windows
[15:08] <sentriz> _Marcus - but there's no option for that, that's the problem
[15:08] <myrkraverk> quackers: I'm just a command line junky.
[15:08] <detly> dang, I can't install the medibuntu version of ffmpeg until they update theirs
[15:08] <_Marcus> Sentriz: Where are you in the install right now. Describe to me what it says
[15:09] <mydogsnameisrudy> sentriz:  you need to check your partitions you can only have 4
[15:09] <quackers> dekker upgrades can be a bit dodgy. an upgrade will almost certainly ditch your system if power is lost during it
[15:09] <sentriz> i have C E and L partitions, i was hoping to put ubuntu on l
[15:09] <sentriz> *L
[15:10] <dekker> Mhm. But you said it's possible, quackers. I figured you mean that it can be done semi-safely? Or at least with a chance of not b0rking horribly?
[15:10] <_Marcus> sentriz: So you are in the advanced settings for the partitions?
[15:10] <Error404NotFound> I have about 3G as cache in "free -m". How do i find which process is using cache for most part? Something like top but for cached memory only.
[15:11] <quackers> sentriz, you may also have a small partition at the beginning of the drive (for boot) which will make 4 in total. check that first
[15:11] <zykotick9> Error404NotFound: the system uses cache, not programs directly
[15:11] <zykotick9> !atemyram | Error404NotFound
[15:11] <quackers> sentriz, don't try to make a 5th partition if you already have 4
[15:11] <sentriz> er okay
[15:11] <cmcintosh> hey gang i got a toshiba satelite with a nvidia graphics card.  Im trying to get displays working on both the VGA output as well as the HDMI output
[15:12] <zykotick9> cmcintosh: at the same time?
[15:12] <cmcintosh> when i try to use the Nvidia settings and set the HDMI display to twinview, the application crashes
[15:12] <jpsullia> Hi, in am trying to install NVIDIA x86 binary Driver in ubuntu, for some reason Installation script Fails and it does not give the exact error.
[15:12] <cmcintosh> zykotick9, yes
[15:12] <jpsullia> is there any exact method to get nvidia driver on UBUNTU
[15:12] <jrib> !nvidia | jpsullia
[15:12] <zykotick9> cmcintosh: i doubt that's possible, best of luck.
[15:12] <cmcintosh> i also have a madcatz usb to vga, but i have not be successful in getting that to work either
[15:13] <cmcintosh> zykotick9, is there a reason it wont work that way? hardware limitation or driver?
[15:13] <zykotick9> cmcintosh: ususally the vga/dvi are treated as a single connection (hardware wise)
[15:13] <cmcintosh> ok fair enough
[15:14] <cmcintosh> how about the madcats usbvga device
[15:14] <cmcintosh> model is uv150
[15:14] <Tutorial5757> HI
[15:14] <jpsullia> !nvidia
[15:14] <Tutorial5757>
[15:15] <cmcintosh> i can see it when i look at the available usb devices and in fact my virtual box windows machine can see it as well, but have yet to get it to show a display :/
[15:15] <cmcintosh> NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M]
[15:16] <quackers> sentriz, if you do have 4 primary partitions and want to install to your L partition - delete that partition first and the Ubuntu installer will then give you the extra option
[15:16] <quackers> the L partition
[15:16] <jpsullia> hi ubottu, the default method shown by Ubuntu where it displays "Restricted Drivers Available" does not work at all
[15:17] <jpsullia> it does not work for Even ATI
[15:17] <jpsullia> luckily ATI binary script works with no issues
[15:17] <sentriz> Thanks, quakers
[15:17] <sentriz> *quackers
[15:18] <quackers> np good luck :-)
[15:19] <newbism> hmm
[15:20] <Klikini> hmmm
[15:21] <eightiesk> !empathy
[15:21] <eightiesk> !pidgin
[15:21] <eightiesk> hello all
[15:21] <Klikini> that's what I'm using
[15:21] <Klikini> right now
[15:21] <eightiesk> how would I remove empathy and all its settings
[15:22] <cmcintosh> ok so looks like i got the laptop monitor + vga connected monitor working
[15:22] <cmcintosh> now
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> eightiesk  sudo apt-get purge empathy and maybe delete some hidden config folder
[15:23] <cmcintosh> i moved the monitor connected via the hdmi from that to the madcatz 150 usbvga
[15:23] <uzf> How do I check to see if Video4Linux is enabled in my kernel?
[15:23] <cmcintosh> anyone have experience getting a usbvga monitor enabled?
[15:23] <dr_willis> cmcintosh,  seen those at the store the other day. read they have linux support, but never tried one. perhaps check askubuntu.com there may be a guide on setting them up
[15:24] <dr_willis> uzf,  should be enabled in the default ubuntu kernels
[15:26] <digitalslave> anyone know how to fix inverse colors on flash videos in both firefox and chrome?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> digitalslave  disable hardware accelleration
[15:27] <eightiesk> MonkeyDust: where would the folder be?
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> eightiesk  try .config
[15:28] <eightiesk> in home?
[15:29] <eightiesk> yes
[15:29] <eightiesk> derp
[15:29] <eightiesk> thank you
[15:29] <Newbuntu2> I have a NAS with family pictures, and I keep a copy on my computer. I use picasa(via wine) to index and make albums etc. My wife uses windows to access the NAS. I want to update my local copy if new pictures are added to the NAS directly, and I don't want to lose my pictures if pictures on the NAS get deleted.Is rsync the best solution?
[15:29] <uzf> dr_willis: any idea why my dvb card only shows "[   28.195941] saa7146: register extension 'dvb'." when I issue dmesg|grep dvb ?
[15:29] <exile_dream> hello, World!
[15:30] <dr_willis> uzf,  no idea. i dont use dvb cards.
[15:30] <exile_dream> i'm a newer
[15:30] <exile_dream> test!
[15:30] <_Marcus> !test | exile_dream
[15:31] <digitalslave> MonkeyDust, still inverse colors :(
[15:31] <newbism> anyone using.. unity?
[15:32] <_Marcus> !anyone | newbism
[15:32] <dr_willis> newbism,  yes. quite a few of use are....
[15:32] <newbism> interesting, thanks
[15:33] <Shact> Hello all. Please could someone tell me how to stop Apt from trying to use a CD? I don't  have a GUI yet and want to install things, but it won't recognise the flash disk that the distro was installed from. So I figure deleting the CD source is the easiest solution
[15:33] <PasNox> Hi
[15:33] <dr_willis> Shact,  your /etc/apt/sources.list most likely has a cd entry near the top. Comment it out. #entry  (use the #)
[15:33] <_Marcus> Hi PasNox
[15:34] <PasNox> I'm using wifi usb key RTL8191S on kubuntu 64bits edition, and after some times the connection is dropped, but networkmanager still say i'm connected.
[15:34] <Shact> dr_willis: Thanks. How can I do that without a text editor? Do I have a terminal editor installed?
[15:34] <PasNox> each time i need to disconnect / reconect the wifi
[15:34] <PasNox> anything i can do please?
[15:34] <dr_willis> Shact,  theres most likely several text editors for the console. Nano is one.
[15:34] <dr_willis> !nano
[15:34] <Shact> Also, how can I cancel the command I'm in, which wants me to insert a disc? Thanks
[15:35] <dr_willis> Shact,  ctrl-c  - shell basics 101. :)
[15:35] <Shact> :)
[15:35] <grimeton> hi
[15:35] <Shact> First day
[15:35] <_Marcus> Hi grimeton
[15:35] <grimeton> is ubuntu able to suspend usb harddrives after some time?
[15:35] <grimeton> and is it doing that automagically?
[15:35] <digitalslave> Newbuntu2, yes rsync would be perfect
[15:35] <dr_willis> grimeton,   they spindown here to save power after like 20 min here ive noticed.
[15:36] <grimeton> dr_willis: ok, so it does that even if the filesystem on top is mounted?
[15:36] <dr_willis> does it for internal drives also.
[15:36] <dr_willis> grimeton,  yes.
[15:36] <grimeton> dr_willis: that's what i wanted to know :) using xmbcbuntu - thanks!
[15:37] <Newbuntu2> digitalslave: any suggestions on the flags?
[15:37] <dr_willis> if the files are being read from the disk - they wont spindown.
[15:37] <Newbuntu2> also, I have it shared as SMB
[15:37] <digitalslave> Newbuntu2, man rsync
[15:38] <Newbuntu2> can I rsync to smb, or do I need to mount it locally first (mount x /media/NAS) and then rsync?
[15:38] <digitalslave> Newbuntu2, -a for archive would be sufficient if you want to delete what has been removed you can add --delete i generally like to watch progress as well --progress
[15:39] <grimeton> Newbuntu2: you can sync without mounting (rsync is from the samba guys)
[15:39] <SolarisBoy> oh cool - didn't know that
[15:39] <compdoc> rsync is great
[15:39] <SolarisBoy> ++
[15:39] <SolarisBoy> rsnaphot too =)
[15:40] <Newbuntu2> so zvra would do the trick?
[15:40] <PasNox> nobody for my wifi problem ?
[15:41] <Klikini> wifi problem?
[15:41] <Newbuntu2> compress for faster transfer, archive to keep the timestamps, v to see what is going on, r for recursive? and it will NOT delete files?
[15:41] <digitalslave> Newbuntu2, a already includes r. you can also add n to do a test run to see what it would do
[15:41] <dr_willis> PasNox,  check the forums and askubuntu.com - i see a lot of 'connection drops' issues asked in here.. never seen a good general fix.
[15:42] <grimeton> Newbuntu2: rsync -av --progress ...
[15:42] <grimeton> Newbuntu2: you should also check rsync -h
[15:42] <PasNox> dr_willis: yes i googled a lot and finaly comes here because of no thing to fix it :/
[15:42] <grimeton> Newbuntu2: and you can enforce rsync to not work in surprise mode
[15:42] <dr_willis> my $8 usb wifi  dongle i got the other day.. has similer issues.. but im going to run wires this week. :)
[15:42] <PasNox> it seem the driver my wifi dongle use is still in staging
[15:43] <dr_willis> PasNox,   see if it works better in the 12.04 beta
[15:43] <Gaming4JC> Is there any way to dock the Unity Sidebar at the bottom of the screen instead of on the side? :)
[15:43]  * Gaming4JC duck duck goes it meanwhile
[15:44] <dr_willis> I got one of those Ethernet->Wifi adaptors like for a PS3/xbox for $40 to test out. works a lot better then the usb-dongles i also tested.
[15:44] <PasNox> dr_willis: when will be released the 12.04 final version ?
[15:44] <wylde> PasNox: the 26th
[15:44] <dr_willis> PasNox,  the # is the date. :) 2012 4th month...
[15:44] <PasNox> dr_willis: but there is not the day ;)
[15:44] <PasNox> wylde: ok, thanks
[15:45] <PasNox> so i will wait and upgrade my system, hoping this will fiwx my problem because it's so boring to disconnect / reconnect the wifi many times / hours ;)
[15:45] <Gaming4JC> perfect! http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html
[15:45] <Gaming4JC> :D
[15:46] <wylde> PasNox: #kubuntu may also be helpful to you, they'll know the gui tools better in there as well.
[15:46] <robertzaccour> Whats the difference between Debian Testing and Ubuntu Stable? other than name and cosmetics
[15:47] <Newbuntu2> does anyone have the issue that alt-tab crashes unity on 11.10?
[15:47] <PasNox> wylde: already asked, still waiting for someones answer since 8h ... ;)
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> robertzaccour  they're different distro's
[15:47] <dr_willis> !schedule
[15:47] <wylde> PasNox: alrighty
[15:48] <TimothyA> FATAL: Module cifs not found. <-- how do I fix this?
[15:49] <grimeton> TimothyA: load cifs?
[15:50] <TimothyA> grimeton: how?
[15:50] <grimeton> TimothyA: modprobe
[15:50] <grimeton> TimothyA: sudo modprobe cifs
[15:50] <TimothyA> ... that's the error generated by modprobe
[15:51] <grimeton> TimothyA: depending on your kernel it's
[15:51] <grimeton> TimothyA: search for it: find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -iname \*cifs\*
[15:51] <TimothyA> no results
[15:51] <grimeton> TimothyA: and when searching for smb?
[15:52] <TimothyA> same
[15:52] <TimothyA> nfs, too
[15:52] <grimeton> TimothyA: but the cifs tools are installed?
[15:52] <TimothyA> yep
[15:52] <Shact> Right, nano says it's saving the file, but it isn't. The file remains unchanged. Any tips?
[15:52] <TimothyA> mount.cifs gives me output, if that's what you mean by installed
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> Shact  use sudo if the file is outside /home
[15:53] <Shact> monkeydust; i'm trying to install sudo
[15:53] <grimeton> TimothyA: yeah, but you also need to load the cifs.ko module
[15:53] <Shact> to do thsi i need nano to edit a file
[15:53] <grimeton> TimothyA: it should be there
[15:53] <TimothyA> it's an OpenVZ VM, btw
[15:53] <Bearnik> use su
[15:53] <Bearnik> then edit it
[15:53] <Shact> because the distro can't recognise the flash disk that it just installed itself off.
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> Shact  install sudo?
[15:53] <TimothyA> grimeton: I can't find it :/
[15:54] <Shact> I can't install sudo until the damn thing downloads it, which it won't because it's insisting on using a CD
[15:54] <Bearnik> Shanct : use su ?
[15:54] <Shact> which a) I don't have b) wouldn't go in the laptop anyway.
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> Shact  sudo should be there by default
[15:54] <Shact> I've tried su. It doesn't make any diffrence
[15:54] <Bearnik> ???
[15:54] <digitalslave> /lib/modules/3.0.0-17-generic/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
[15:54] <grimeton> TimothyA: you got apt-file installed?
[15:55] <Bearnik> sudo is by default but maybe you are not in sudo group
[15:55] <grimeton> TimothyA: then you can run apt-file search cifs.ko and get the package if it is not part of the base kernel image
[15:55] <Shact> bearnik; interesting, but doesn't help in the first stage which is to edit the sources.list file
[15:55] <Shact> This should not be hard
[15:56] <TimothyA> grimeton: it is
[15:56] <Shact> And the flash disk I installed off should be in that list, rather than some fictional CD
[15:56] <TimothyA> turns out the linux kernel the VM is running on is ancient :|
[15:56] <grimeton> TimothyA: what is? the file in the base image of the kernel or apt-file installed?
[15:57] <TimothyA> apt-file search says it's supposed to be in an base image
[15:57] <Bearnik> Shanct : hmm what distro are u using ?
[15:57] <Shact> I'l just login as root. These good practice rules haven't been thought out
[15:57] <urullika> que tal amigos ...deseo  aprender programacion en c conocen de algun manual??  que sea  practico y entendible....gracias
[15:57] <O0ddity> So i amhaving an issue with thw iw3945 module
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> !es
[15:57] <TimothyA> great... so smb doesn't work, installing nfs nearly wrecked the system...
[15:58] <TimothyA> are there any other options for storing/retrieving files over a mounted remote-location storage?
[15:58] <O0ddity> how do it get the source for a driver
[15:58] <grimeton> TimothyA: you have to run all those commands as root - just fyi
[15:58] <TimothyA> grimeton: I know
[16:00] <grimeton> TimothyA: you must be doing something terribly wrong ...
[16:00] <O0ddity> Is there a way to download the source code for a specific driver module in 11.10
[16:00] <TimothyA> grimeton: would having a 2.6.18 linux kernel be that "terribly wrong" bit?
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> O0ddity  try apt-get source
[16:00] <O0ddity> ok
[16:01] <O0ddity> where would i find it once it's downloaded
[16:01] <tsimpson> O0ddity: in the directory you ran apt-get from
[16:02] <TimothyA> okay, so not a single way to mount a remote storage device in ubuntu without making use of nfs or smb/cifs?
[16:02] <Bearnik> Ok, I am trying to run openGL support for linux guest on vmware workstation ... I install vmware-tools and apply 3d support but seems like openGL doesn't work ... Host OS is W7
[16:02] <O0ddity> how would i figure out the name of the package a driver came form?
[16:02] <Bearnik> anyone got a clue
[16:03] <digitalslave> TimothyA, no way without. why not update just to make sure?
[16:03] <tsimpson> TimothyA: well, there's also sshfs
[16:03] <TimothyA> tsimpson: ... *watches the bytes crawl by*
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> TimothyA  that's *four* ways the channel adviced, nfs, smb, cifs and sshfs
[16:04] <O0ddity> i know the name od the module is iw3945 ir iwl_legacy, but how do i figure out what source code thats in
[16:04] <shadykhan> anyone know why if i plug my Amaze into my computer it will drain battery instead of charging?
[16:04] <Klikini> Amaze?
[16:05] <TimothyA> MonkeyDust: ...I named nfs, smb and cifs...
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> TimothyA  yes and tsimpson said sshfs
[16:05] <TimothyA> sshfs was kinda a last resort
[16:05] <TimothyA> I was hoping that *wouldn't* be the answer
[16:08] <dlentz> O0ddity, it's in the kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy
[16:08] <O0ddity> ok
[16:08] <O0ddity> so i do haveto compile kernal :/
[16:08] <dlentz> are you trying to apply a patch?
[16:10] <TimothyA> ...
[16:10]  * TimothyA implodes
[16:10] <TimothyA> "Module fuse not found"
[16:13] <Erealz> hey everyone is this a good place to ask for bashscripting help?
[16:13] <_Marcus> Erealz: Try #bash
[16:13] <oCean> Erealz: there is a specific ##bash channel, might be more helpful
[16:13] <Erealz> ah
[16:13] <_Marcus> Or ##bash
[16:14] <Erealz> thanks

[16:31] <firc> Hi people
[16:31] <firc> I'm having some troble with my video drivers
[16:32] <firc> I have a intel 945GM
[16:32] <Fabius> RyoRonin: output audio is perfectly working, while input doesnt work
[16:32] <Fabius> in any app (skype, sound recorder..)
[16:32] <firc> it seems the intel drivers are failing to load, and even vesa fails. Hence I'm stuck with a 1024x768 resolution
[16:33] <firc> I get: (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [    30.615] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev  in Xorg.log.0
[16:33] <RyoRonin> Fabius: sorry if it has been asked, external mic or internal laptop mic?
[16:34] <dlentz> Fabius, it may help to pastebin your alsa-info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo
[16:34] <dougl> MonkeyDust, ok - thanks for the help tho :)                 I thot everyone liked eyecandy... but the problems I am having sure is affecting my appreciation for eyecandy, thanks again.
[16:34] <Fabius> internal laptop mic. the pc is not mine but my girlfriend's. she said it worked in the past, but after an update (she doesnt remember which one)
[16:35] <Fabius> it stopped working. it tried with alsamixer and pulseaudio config but both didnt work and i got no other ideas :-/
[16:35]  * SolarisBoy wants candy now
[16:35] <oCean> SolarisBoy: no need for silly /me messages here, thanks
[16:35]  * dlentz wants a girlfriend now
[16:35] <dlentz> (sorry)
[16:35] <firc> Anyone has any idea?
[16:36] <SolarisBoy> oCean: im sorry for offending you
[16:36] <escott> Fabius, assuming it is intel hda it could be an internal setting for the intel hda audio. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA
[16:36] <dlentz> firc, did it just start
[16:36] <firc> dlentz: X? Yeah
[16:36] <dlentz> no, i meant, did it work before?
[16:36] <firc> dlentz: but I'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution
[16:37] <firc> dlentz: no. I upgraded to 11.10 yesterday. I haad this problem even with 11.04
[16:37] <firc> I was stuck with 1024x768
[16:37] <SolarisBoy> not sure what made it "silly" though
[16:37] <RyoRonin> Fabius: see if this helps? http://askubuntu.com/questions/77888/microphone-problem-in-ubuntu-11-10 lots of different options
[16:37] <dlentz> firc, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:37] <firc> dlentz: and I checked the Xorg.0.log earlier too. It seems the intel drivers are never loaded
[16:37] <Newbuntu2> I want to connect my NAS directly to my ethernet port, while I use wifi for internet. How do I configure dhcpd/route tables so that I can run a dhcp server on eth0 without messing with wlan1?
[16:38] <dougl> SolarisBoy, you meant eyecandy?
[16:38] <oCean> SolarisBoy: this is a support channel, so if you could stick to the topic, that would be great. Or head over to #ubuntu-offtopic for regular chit chat
[16:38] <SolarisBoy> yes i did...
[16:38] <firc> dlentz: http://pastebin.com/MbwHeich
[16:38] <SolarisBoy> oCean: eyecandy was being discussed
[16:38] <dougl> I dont think oCean realized you were talking about eyecandy
[16:39] <dougl> which was right on topic
[16:39] <SolarisBoy> i noticed that dougl but i guess he is "right"
[16:39] <firc> dlentz: see like 136/137? It doesn't even load intel
[16:39] <firc> *line
[16:39] <oCean> dougl, SolarisBoy we try to keep the channel professional. /me messages are not contributing, just adding to the clutter
[16:39] <Fabius> since i yet played with mixer config, no model parameter wasnt changed in settings, i should check for new version of alsa
[16:39] <SolarisBoy> oCean: i hear you bro
[16:39] <Fabius> i'll do it now and see if something changes
[16:40] <SolarisBoy> lol
[16:40] <dlentz> firc, it only loads vesa/fbdev for backup 9and it unloads them later in the log)
[16:40] <firc> dlentz: oh
[16:40] <firc> dlentz: so it IS using intel?
[16:40] <krababbel> I'm trying desktopnova to change my wallpaper to use pictures in a folder. It says the daemon already is running, but my wallpaper doesn't change.
[16:40] <dlentz> yes, since a bunch of lines begin with intel(0) and 3D is working
[16:41] <dougl> I suppose less clutter is best - you are right oCean.
[16:41] <firc> dlentz: awesome. But I'm still stuck with 1024x786
[16:42] <firc> dlentz: i googled and tried to add modes using xrandr, but it fails saying BadMatch
[16:42] <dlentz> firc, that seems to be what your screen is reporting, what resolution are you expecting?
[16:43] <firc> dlentz: 1280x720
[16:43] <firc> can I not set a custom resolution?
[16:44] <dlentz> did you try as here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions
[16:44] <dougl> SolarisBoy, so - your eyecandy does not work either?
[16:44] <firc> dlentz: yes
[16:44] <klamath> hi all
[16:45] <firc> dlentz: when I do xrandr --addmode it fails saying BadMatch
[16:45] <dlentz> what kind of laptop is it?
[16:46] <firc> dlentz: Dell latitude D520
[16:46] <firc> dlentz: http://pastebin.com/je4nv1Gw this is the exact error
[16:46] <klamath> hi all. anyone from malaysia?
[16:47] <dlentz> quick google shows latitude d520 has native resolution of 1024x768 unless you have premium screen
[16:47] <Newbuntu2> I want to connect my NAS directly to my ethernet port, while I use wifi for internet. How should I configure dhcpd so that I can run a dhcp server on eth0 without messing with wlan1?
[16:48] <firc> dlentz: I cannot set custom resolution?

[16:48] <su22> What is Xen and how to install it?
[16:49] <firc> dlentz: so can I check what screen resolution is supported ?
[16:49] <ki7rw> why is it always a pita to build amsn from tarball? i got a message about videode.h missing even though libv4l-dev is installed and it's the only package that apt-file search videodev.h lists

[16:50] <ki7rw> videode.h == videodev.h
[16:50] <su22> how to download any video from the internet using Ubuntu?
[16:50] <dlentz> firc, that's usually found in the EDID, which you can see in the Xorg log
[16:50]  * ki7rw can't get his webcam to work in the ubuntu amsn package
[16:51] <su22> how to download any video from the internet using Ubuntu?
[16:51] <jizozor> I will like to know how to open a file with root privileges without create a quick launcher for it ?
[16:51] <firc> dlentz: ah, so 1024x768. Cool, thanks for all the help!
[16:51] <su22> jizozor: Run the command with sudo prefixed
[16:52] <dlentz> firc, yw, though i wish your screen supported more resolution..
[16:52] <jizozor> thanks su22
[16:52] <ki7rw> even cheese won't work
[16:52] <su22> how to download any video from the internet using Ubuntu?
[16:52] <su22> especially the videos from videolectures.net
[16:53] <escott> su22, easiest way is to install firebug and save the video file from the firebug console
[16:53] <su22> firebug?? A mozilla extension?
[16:54] <escott> su22, yes
[16:55] <su22> How to save the video file from firebug console escott?
[16:56] <escott> su22, the network tab, and then reload the page. you can right click on the flv stream and save it from there
[16:57] <jizozor> su22 this is why I have try : sudo open sources.list in the terminal , does my syntax is wrong ?
[16:58] <escott> jizozor, try gksudo gedit sources.list
[16:58] <jizozor> ok
[16:58] <su22> jizozor: It depends on the file type!!
[16:58] <Defusal> hi everyone
[16:58] <Defusal> can anyone tell me where i can download the source for taskset from ubuntu util-linux-2.20 so i can compile it manually?
[16:59] <su22> jizozor for eg if you wanna open a text file you can try escott's suggestion or use sudo gedit <filename>
[16:59] <escott> !gksudo | su22
[16:59] <su22> escott I can't find the network tab
[16:59] <su22> can you explain me more about gksudo ubottu
[16:59] <jizozor> nice escott and su22
[17:00] <miki> ciao
[17:00] <miki> !list
[17:00] <escott> su22, when you open firebug the tabs are in the top firebug bar they are Console HTMl CSS Script Dom and Net the last one is the one you want
[17:01] <escott> su22, you should not use sudo with guis because sometimes a root application will take ownership of $HOME/.xauthority for the non-root user locking them out of their own gui
[17:03] <Shact> Does anyone know if there's a better video engine available for Ubuntu? VLC on my old laptop can handle 1080p MKV fine, but on Ubuntu it's choppy. I've tested this quite thoroughly and I've been told that Linux video simply isn't up to scratch. If that's true (and it seems to be), then surely there's something new in the works? Like back when ALSA was in testing. Thanks
[17:04] <dlentz> Shact, it depends on your GPU
[17:05] <Shact> dlentz, that makes sense. It's just an old celeron with on board graphics, but video is still very good on Windows. Perhaps I need a different driver?
[17:06] <irong33k> how do you set enviroment variables when compiling LDFLAGS
[17:06] <dlentz> when you say that vlc can handle 1080p mkv well, what OS/hardware is that on?
[17:06] <IntuitiveNipple> irong33k: LDFLAGS *is* an environment variable
[17:06] <Shact> that's on XP, but I don't like XP so am trying to get away from it
[17:07] <Shact> dlentz, oh and the hardware is... 1GHz Celeron.
[17:08] <dlentz> Shact, that's the processor. what video card/GPU do you have?
[17:08] <streblo> how do i boot from initramfs?
[17:08] <IntuitiveNipple> Shact: For HD decompression hardware-assisted (GPU) acceleration is required. Use of that depends on the video driver being used.
[17:08] <Newbuntu2> I want to connect my NAS directly to my ethernet port, while I use wifi for internet. How should I configure dhcpd so that I can run a dhcp server on eth0 without messing with wlan1?
[17:08] <Shact> dlentz: normally i would check, but I'm not sure how to do that in linux. None to speak of. Intel something
[17:08] <heliAAA> sometimes input to eclipse editors is not possible after switching between virtual desktops
[17:08] <heliAAA> any ideas?
[17:09] <IntuitiveNipple> Newbuntu2: You could use dnsmasq bound to one interface/IP address
[17:09] <theadmin> Shact: sudo lshw -C video OR lspci | grep -i vga
[17:10] <IntuitiveNipple> Shact: You can find out the hardware and driver like this. From a terminal do:  glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version'
[17:10] <dlentz> Shact, intel probably has better Windows drivers for their older GPU's :(
[17:11] <streblo> ive been using ubuntu for a while now, just shut my machine off after not using it for a while, and now it boots into initramfs and cant get any further
[17:11] <streblo> can anyone help me diagnose the issue?
[17:11] <selite> I can't see Applications and System on my upper taskbar is something wrong?
[17:11] <streblo> i get a couple of errors like this:
[17:11] <selite> selite: Help.
[17:11] <datruth_> how can I destroy the kde wallet service?
[17:12] <streblo> mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
[17:12] <selite> datruth_: kde wallet kill
[17:12] <datruth_> ?
[17:12] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: Sounds like a kernel update or other package caused the initial RAMdisk to be rebuilt, and that wasn't totally successful. Very hard to diagnose remotely.
[17:12] <streblo> same thing with /sys/ and /proc/
[17:12] <Shact> Dlentz, IntuitiveNipple: Graphics is: 915GM/GMS/910GML
[17:12] <selite> datruth_: In terminal type that.
[17:12] <datruth_> everytime I do something in kde it asks me for the wallet crap ;/
[17:12] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: i have a usb stick i made with unetbootin and i cant even get it to boot with that
[17:13] <selite> I can't see Applications and System on the upper taskbar, can anyone help me?
[17:13] <datruth_> streblo: no command found kde
[17:13] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: Can you boot into a Previous Version from the GRUB boot menu? Hold down the Shift key as the PC finished the power-on-self-test (POST) and you should get the GRUB boot menu where you can choose to boot an earlier configuration
[17:13] <streblo> i dont care if i have to completely reformat the drive and start from scratch, i'd just like to be able to use the machine again
[17:14] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: i'll try that right now
[17:14] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: USB boot relies on the BIOS to know to try booting from the USB ports. I assume you have that selected, but the USB boot starts but fails?
[17:15] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: i've tried telling the BIOS to boot using the usb stick, but it still drops me into initramfs
[17:15] <greenit> hi, i just set up an apt-cache (packet apt-cacher-ng) and i hopefully configured it correctly, but i don't exactly know if the computer is rly using the cache... i created the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy  and entered the following: Acquire::http { Proxy "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3142"; }; Acquire::https { Proxy "https://"; };
[17:15] <greenit> is the computer using the cache for https:// now too, or not?
[17:15] <ki7rw> hmm, there's a videodev2.h but not a videodev.h
[17:15] <greenit> and is it using it at all?^^
[17:15] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: OK... but is it the initramfs of the USB device, or is it still booting from the hard disk? Can you watch the activity light of the hard disk during boot to determine which device it is booting from?
[17:16] <IntuitiveNipple> greenit: I'd say yes. I use that for my network.
[17:16] <greenit> IntuitiveNipple, thx :)
[17:16] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: no, you're right, i was being an idiot. i'm now at the grub menu for the usb device
[17:17] <IntuitiveNipple> greenit: the way to find out is to stop the apt-cacher-ng service on the other PC and see if your clients fail to do an apt-get update. If they fail, they are using the local proxy.
[17:17] <streblo> i'm going to try booting in recovery mode
[17:17] <greenit> IntuitiveNipple, good idea, thx^^
[17:17] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: good luck! I know how hard solving boot issues is!
[17:18] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: be aware that Recovery Mode of the same kernel version will use the same initramdisk as the normal mode. You usually need to use an earlier kernel version which has it's own initramdisk
[17:18] <Shact> Am I in the right place here guys? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html
[17:18] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: i'm going to try an earlier version
[17:19] <streblo> IntuitiveNipple: awesome, looks like its booting from the usb stick, thanks for the help
[17:19] <greenit> IntuitiveNipple, hm... the computer fetched only the https:// repos now, so it is not using the proxy :S
[17:20] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: If you can boot to a previous version on the affected hard disk, you could then re-generate the initramdisk image
[17:21] <IntuitiveNipple> streblo: (for the affected kernel version) which would allow you to get back to normal
[17:21] <craigbass1976> what's the best way to stream audio (live from line in or mic jack) ove a lan from Ubuntu?
[17:22] <tanath> can someone help me troubleshoot video? while booting i get video input out of range from my monitor until X shows up. this makes recovery mode unusable.
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> craigbass1976: You can use PulseAudio's streaming multicast function
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: the kernel option nomodeset is your friend. Try this forums thread for more explanation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[17:23] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, that's in the recovery mode parameters
[17:24] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: and you still lose it? Hmm... sounds like you may need to specify a VESA mode
[17:24] <craigbass1976> IntuitiveNipple, sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins "pulseaudio-*" paman padevchooser paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter  Is that how I proceed?  I'm on 12.04.  I'd have initially asked in ubuntu+1, but I thought this question didn't have a version specific element to it.
[17:25] <bbbbbbbb> I have an audio cd that doesn't get mounted. it plays fine on the cd player. when i eject it, the audio cd icon is shown. what do i do?
[17:25] <IntuitiveNipple> craigbass1976: I've padevchooser to do it on previous releases, however I'm not sure how/where it's done in Oneiric/Precise.
[17:25] <craigbass1976> IntuitiveNipple, doesn't work...  :)
[17:26] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset acpi=off"
[17:28] <IntuitiveNipple> craigbass1976: :(
[17:29] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Just as an example - this likely WON'T WORK for you - I use this on mine (to support splash screens): video=uvesafb:mode_option='1024x768-32',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap
[17:29] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Maybe you can use something simiLAR?
[17:29] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, that looks pretty generic. why wouldn't it work?
[17:30] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, though i don't know what mtrr=3 does
[17:30] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: because uvesafb is generally blacklisted as a module. You'd need to un-blacklist it too.
[17:30] <tanath> hrm
[17:31] <ki7rw> ubunutu doesn't make it easy to report a bug

[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: mtrr=3 is Write-combining
[17:32] <stefg> ki7rw: actually not .... they wrote apport. But since there are so many bugs it requires some strict discipline to not get lost
[17:32] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, seems the ONLY module i have blacklisted on my system is 'lp'
[17:32] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, unless there's somewhere to look other than /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[17:32] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: /etc/modprobe.d/*
[17:33] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, ok, yeah. there's more than i thought
[17:33] <sburwood1> Is there a way to, without opening the tower, (say, a command) to find out what mother board I have?
[17:34] <ki7rw> i guess i won't get my amsn issue fixed cuz i don't want to have to spend several hours looking for an answer
[17:34] <Newbuntu2> Im trying to set up a dhcpd server, I installed dhcp3-server, but there is no /etc/init.d/dhcpd file what's going on? how do I fixit?
[17:34] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Usually its in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf but best to grep all of them for mentions
[17:34] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, http://pastebin.com/SJPL2qpE
[17:34] <sburwood1> ki7rw: What question about amsn?
[17:34] <llutz> sburwood1: try dmidecode or lshw
[17:35] <ki7rw> why won't it use videodev2.h instead of videodev.h?
[17:35] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Looks like you're OK for uvesafb
[17:35] <greenit> how can i tell my computer to use the server with apt-cacher-ng installed for https:// - repos?
[17:35] <ki7rw> apt-file can't find a package with videodev.h
[17:36] <theadmin> !find videodev.h
[17:37] <theadmin> ki7rw: ^
[17:38] <ki7rw> this is what i get when using apt-file search: libv4l-dev: /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h
[17:38] <ki7rw> that's not the same as videodev.h
[17:38] <ki7rw> locate videodev.h produces no output
[17:39] <Imre_> I'm back boys & girls!
[17:39] <ki7rw> (other than libv4l1-videodev.h)
[17:40] <greenit> how can i tell my computer to use the server with apt-cacher-ng installed for https:// - repos?
[17:40] <Shact> No takers for the Intel video drivers issue?
[17:41] <IntuitiveNipple> greenit: apt-cacher-ng doesn't support the https so far as I know.
[17:41] <greenit> thx

[17:49] <iceroot> Defusal: cpufrequtils
[17:49] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, that worked for me, thanks
[17:49] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, the 'video=uvesafb:mode_option='1024x768-32',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap'
[17:49] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Glad it was that simple :)
[17:50] <tanath> indeed
[17:50] <Defusal> iceroot, that is for cpu frequency not affinity
[17:50] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, don't suppose you can help me troubleshoot why ubuntu hangs on reboot now?
[17:50] <iceroot> Defusal: ok
[17:51] <stefg> jansen: have you read dmesg already to get a clue what might be the problem?
[17:51] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: Feed me more details, I'll consult my oracle :p
[17:51] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, when i reboot it shuts down most things, but never completes
[17:51] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, started recently (only just noticed it)
[17:52] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, i see nothing in logs, but i may be missing it
[17:52] <jansen> stefg, i dont have a clue what i should do so no.
[17:52] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: I have the same thing recently... very annoying. Are you using Oneiric?
[17:53] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, 12.04 now
[17:53] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: On the close-down terminal I saw "Closing remaining processes [Fail]" but could never figure out which process(es) !
[17:53] <oCean> tanath: 12.04 is not supported here, /join #ubuntu+1
[17:53] <tanath> IntuitiveNipple, only failure i noticed is dnsmasq because it can't bind to port 53
[17:53] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: I upgraded to 12.04 in-place and that issue has now gone away so I'm not sure how to track it.
[17:54] <tanath> oCean, they weren't helpful
[17:54] <oCean> tanath: that does not make it ontopic here, please don't continue
[17:54] <iceroot> tanath: does not matter, this channel is not for 12.04
[17:54] <nagato> Hi guys! Anyone know how to reduce the delay verification e-mail (pop) the evolution mail client for less than 1 minute (60 seconds)?
[17:54] <stefg> jansen: open a terminal and type 'dmesg' .you'll get a log of what's happening during boot. 'dmesg | grep wlan' will filter it for events with wlan
[17:54] <IntuitiveNipple> oCean: The bug affects Oneiric
[17:54] <tanath> oCean, iceroot, if i'm actually getting support for it in here, then why say it's not supported here? maybe not officially, but so what?
[17:55] <oCean> IntuitiveNipple: that still does not make 12.04 discussion or support on topic
[17:55] <oCean> tanath: officially I am telling you to drop the discussion
[17:55] <iceroot> tanath: because 12.04 is not stable and still has bugs, so we dont support it here
[17:55] <IntuitiveNipple> oCean: I'm discussing the Oneiric bug
[17:55] <tanath> iceroot, not asking you to
[17:55] <tanath> oCean, to what purpose?
[17:55] <iceroot> tanath: this channel is not for 12.04 discussions, thank you
[17:56] <ClientAlive> If I manually create my partitions during installation, and if I create a separate /boot partition, do I set the bootable flag on it? Do I set the bootable flag on the BIOS boot partition? On both, either/ or?
[17:56] <oCean> tanath: I'm not going to argue channel rules with you here, /join #ubuntu-ops for that.
[17:56] <tanath> oCean, wasn't asking you to argue them... yet.
[17:56] <oCean> tanath: fine, last call. Drop it
[17:56] <IntuitiveNipple> tanath: On Oneiric I found that I could leave the laptop shutting down at midnight and it'd still be stuck at 0700
[17:57] <tanath> oCean, have you seen any further discussion about it? why won't you answer my question?
[17:57] <LjL> tanath, you choose to use an unreleased distribution, you choose not to get the support for released ones
[17:57] <tanath> LjL, no, i choose not to get official support here. there's a difference
[17:58] <escott> ClientAlive, bootable flag doesn't matter in most cases
[17:58] <escott> ClientAlive, but it would go on the /boot partition
[17:58] <stefg> jansen: ok, so it's working atm... may i suggest to use pastebin, and keep the discussion in the channel so other users can follow as well?
[17:58] <tanath> LjL, wait, you're saying installing an unreleased distro means i don't get support for released ones??
[17:58] <ClientAlive> ok
[17:58] <theadmin> tanath: Long as you're using Precise you don't get support, that's channel policy. Even if the bug is present at past versions, fixes that work for Oneiric might fail on Precise and vice versa.
[17:59] <theadmin> s/Precise/any unreleased Ubuntu version/gi;
[17:59] <stefg> jansen: the interesting thing would be to do that when the adapter fails. it might complain about missing firmware or soem other error that could give you an idea
[18:00] <ClientAlive> escott: what I'm aiming for is seaparate bios partition, separate /boot partition, then the rest of the system installed on lvm on raid. So, as far as the partitions/ setup stage of the install goes, I shouldn't worry about setting the boot flag anywhere? For my situation it would go on /boot? What I mean is: my specific goal does not change that?
[18:00] <escott> ClientAlive, bios partition?
[18:01] <ClientAlive> well, mbr/ whatever (the 1 - 2 mb area for the boot loader)
[18:01] <IntuitiveNipple> ClientAlive: the msdos partition type's bootable flag is a Microsoft legacy thing - basically ignored nowadays
[18:01] <cesar1> alguien que hable español??
[18:02] <ClientAlive> ahh! I see!! This is gpt anyhow...
[18:02] <oCean> !es | cesar1
[18:02] <escott> ClientAlive, are you talking about the grub_bios partition type for bios boots of gpt disks?
[18:02] <stefg> ClientAlive: and the mbr doesn't have a partition the mbr /holds/ the partition table so it's metadata *before* any partition
[18:03] <ClientAlive> escott: exactly => uefi has drug my through hell for the last time. I'm going for a bios bootable install (though it literally makes me sick to do so)
[18:04] <escott> ClientAlive, in that case the bootable flag will certainly not matter but it would go on the /boot partition in any case. keep in mind you cannot dual boot windows of any form in that configuration
[18:04] <nuse> i'm running a ubuntu server, for some reason there is multiple instances of sshd running, 3 instances to be exact, is this normal?
[18:04] <ClientAlive> right on. And, that's fine. Ev will be a virtual guest on top of this host anyhow
[18:05] <tron1> quit
[18:06] <bsmith093> how do i find out which container format a bunch for extensionless files are in? id just like to know
[18:06] <escott> bsmith093, use the file utility
[18:07] <bsmith093> escott how
[18:07] <escott> bsmith093, file filename
[18:07] <craigbass1976> I've got a phone plugged into the mic jack.  The speaker volume slider has no effect on the sound coming out of my computer at all; that can only be adjusted with the mic slider. Shouldn't I be able to silence my laptop by pulling down all of the speaker output faders?
[18:07] <ClientAlive> one thing that doesn't make sense to me is the partitioner lists my entire disk as 3.0 TB (which is correct) then I use up just over 500 MB with /boot and "biosgrub" and it still lists the free space as 3.0 TB. Now, even if this is fine as far as what is actually created, I have two other disks I need to match the size of that last partition (and it is certainly less than the size of the entire disk). How am I expected to do that when I g
[18:07] <ClientAlive> et those kind of readings?
[18:08] <haylo> jockey-gtk didnt work in 11.10 netinstall. can i install ati drivers by simply sudo apt-get install fglrx?
[18:08] <escott> ClientAlive, 500MB is ~0.5GB ~0.0005 TB
[18:08] <haylo> i treid jockey-gtk in openbox and TWM, usually it wirks for me(11.04)
[18:09] <IntuitiveNipple> ClientAlive: Maybe it's the rounding down of the human-readable values? 500MB is 0.0005 of a TB
[18:09] <torkemada> hello friends
[18:09] <escott> ClientAlive, you should be able to find the size in kb or sectors somewhere. worst case drop to parted on the cli
[18:10] <stefg> ClientAlive: Feel free to do advanced manual partitioning before installation by terminal and cfdisk :-)
[18:10] <torkemada> I'm looking for a messagery program which allows to share pics in the chat windows (in msn). Any ideas please?
[18:10] <ClientAlive> right on
[18:10] <haylo> what is the prefered command line technique for installing fglrx? should i install it like i do in debian?
[18:10] <ClientAlive> sppose that's what I'll have to do
[18:11] <escott> haylo, sudo apt-get install fglrx
[18:11] <haylo> nice , thats what i was thinking. thanks escott ! :)
[18:11] <krababbel> How should I create vlan interfaces? Why do I need the raw-device line in the interfaces file? I created a working interface using the ip command but I'm not sure how to make it permanent.
[18:11] <stefg> ClientAlive: and you could 'clone' partition layouts from disk to disk with sfdisk .... essential when you do soft raid setups
[18:11] <haylo> escott,  so i never really needed kockey-gtk for much any way if all the drivers are auto installed by name?
[18:12] <haylo> jockey*
[18:12] <escott> haylo, there is also a jockey-cli
[18:12] <haylo> oh ok cool
[18:12] <haylo> tnks
[18:12] <stefg> ClientAlive: http://www.ducea.com/2006/10/09/partition-table-backup/
[18:12] <escott> haylo, jockey does some testing to determine what package is appropriate but if you already know the name of the package you dont need it
[18:13] <ClientAlive> stefg: thx man
[18:15] <stan_man_can> I started with ubuntu 10.04 and upgraded to 11.10, i don't see a php5-fpm package available in aptitude and i feel like there should be, any reason why?
[18:16] <IamKaiser> Hey everyone. Could some one help me out for a bit with my sound problem?
[18:16] <escott> !info php5-fpm
[18:16] <escott> stan_man_can, is universe enabled?
[18:16] <haylo> im trying to install 11.10 from usb to usb, i treid dd and it was did not seem to work well. i am resorting to unetbootin. any known bugs for usb to usb install in ubuntu 11.10> i feel like i may be hitting some bugs.
[18:16] <haylo> ?
[18:16] <stan_man_can> escott: how do i enable tha? it's a server
[18:17] <escott> stan_man_can, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:17] <haylo> anyway all in all im ahppy to have an updated debian type ose . thanks ubuntu
[18:17] <haylo> happy*
[18:18] <stan_man_can> escott: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security main
[18:18] <escott> stan_man_can, and you would need the same line except oneiric universe
[18:18] <IamKaiser> I can only hear sound from one application at a time. For example I am on a Skype video call. If I want to play something in VLC or watch something on youtube, I will have to quit skype call. Or else I get no audio from other applications
[18:19] <stan_man_can> escott: thanks, it's in there three times, can i delete the second two?
[18:19] <escott> IamKaiser, sounds like you dont have pulseaudio installed or running
[18:19] <stan_man_can> escott: neermind just raelised it's oneiric, oneiric-updates and oneiric-security
[18:19] <stan_man_can> do i update them alll?
[18:19] <escott> stan_man_can, there is no oneiric-security universe as the security team DOES NOT COVER packages in universe
[18:20] <IamKaiser> I do not think I do escott. Shall have a look at that. Trying out ubuntu so learning
[18:20] <escott> stan_man_can, so you would have up to 4 universe lines for the combinations of deb/deb-src and oneiric/oneiric-updates
[18:20] <stan_man_can> escott: https://gist.github.com/2465932
[18:21] <escott> stan_man_can, yep
[18:21] <stan_man_can> i take it i need to run an apt-get update after and then i can continue?
[18:22] <escott> stan_man_can, yes
[18:22] <stan_man_can> thanks :)
[18:23] <IamKaiser> Escott. will "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio" work ?
[18:24] <escott> IamKaiser, how did you install ubuntu?
[18:24] <IamKaiser> wubi. Through Windows. Kind of running a trial for a month.
[18:25] <escott> IamKaiser, what version of the gui do you have? i would think that pulse should have been pulled in no matter what
[18:26] <hareldvd> Upgrade to 12.04 beta terminated before cleanup. Can cleanup be performed after boot on new OS?

[18:27] <IamKaiser> escott. 11.1 (oneiric), Kernel Linux 3.0.0-17-generic.  GNOME 3.2.1. Does that help? Sorry if I am doing something wrong.
[18:28] <escott> IamKaiser, pulse should have been installed. im not sure why it wouldn't be working correctly, but i dont know much about wubi

[18:46] <biobunsai> hi
[18:46] <MrUnagi_> After setting the bridge interface up for openvpn, I lost Ssh with my server......any ideas?
[18:46] <ClientAlive> I need to be sure I'm doing something correctly or not. If I want to have my first partition on the second disk start where my second partition ended on my first disk, and the amount of space used up in the first two partitions on the first disk is 502M, Then would I need to enter "+502M" for the "First sector" when creating the first partition on the second drive?
[18:46] <biobunsai> Hello all
[18:47] <ClientAlive> confusing to talk about, I know, but how else do I describe it?
[18:47] <biobunsai> Anyone know how to get windows sound drivers to work ?
[18:47] <bobo37775> biobunsai: Windows sound drivers?
[18:47] <ClientAlive> I guess I wonder if gdisk automatically aligns everything on the second disk with where stuff left off on the first on - or if you have to specify it
[18:47] <bobo37775> biobunsai: Are you serious?
[18:48] <biobunsai> Yes, Bobo. I can't find my sound drivers anywhere for Linux, I can only find windows
[18:48] <bobo37775> biobunsai: Sound drivers are built into the kernel. In fact most drivers are the linux kernel is different then the nt kernel
[18:49] <biobunsai> Sigh.. great.. so no sound for me...
[18:49] <CellTech> Ok. I wanna use by flash drive to test live distros. I'm on 10.04. What should I format my drive too and how come when I remove, then plug the drive back in. It doesn't offer me a 'live trial'
[18:50] <biobunsai> celltech did you unmount and remount?
[18:50] <CellTech> Technically yes
[18:50] <CellTech> All it does is opens the folder to see the files
[18:51] <daftykins> CellTech: just restart and boot from it... i don't see the problem...
[18:51] <foobArrr> I'm trying to setup my bluetooth remote. http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/bdremote8bc0cc2ejpg.jpg these buttons seem to do nothing for me. what now? xubuntu 11.10
[18:51] <CellTech> Well that's the thing I'm trying to avoid constant restarts. I don't mind installing the iso to the drive then just unmount and remount.
[18:51] <bobo37775> biobunsai: Did you check alsamixer?
[18:51] <CellTech> What should I always format my drive too?
[18:52] <daftykins> CellTech: how do you expect to trial the distros natively on your own hardware without restarting?
[18:52] <biobunsai> BoBo no i didn't I'll give that a crack. i been playing with the systems setting and system check
[18:52] <CellTech> Cant a thumbdrive be set to autoplay so it runs programs?
[18:52] <daftykins> CellTech: yeah but you can't run an OS inside an OS without using virtualisation...
[18:53] <CellTech> Ok. So now for that. I'll restart. What should I format the thing for Fat, ext4,,,
[18:53] <daftykins> CellTech: you can get programs to make the flash drive your bootable distro of choice
[18:53] <daftykins> CellTech: look up "unetbootin"
[18:53] <CellTech> I have UNetBootin. But it makes me format the drive
[18:53] <daftykins> FAT then
[18:53] <CellTech> What do I format too FAT, or ext4. Whats the best
[18:54] <IntuitiveNipple> CellTech: Set the PC to boot from USB devices, and ensure the Flash drive has a bootable Ubuntu image on it. No need to do anything to the PC's hard disk
[18:55] <mrmango> ooooowww
[18:55] <mrmango> nice
[18:55] <CellTech> Ok. I'm gonna go slow. I insert the flash drive. I open disk utility, I unmount then format with "don't partition" then I go to "partition./format" Normally I pick FAT. Then I open uNetBootin and have the iso installed to the drive.  Bios is set to boot from usb 1st. However. Sometimes it fails to do so. What should I "partition/format" my thumbdrive too?
[18:56] <theadmin> CellTech: Just dd the image onto your USB stick if it's a Linux.
[18:57] <CellTech> theadmin: I wish it was that easy. Disk utility usually requires a partition before I remount
[18:57] <theadmin> CellTech: No, uh: sudo dd if=your_linux_image.iso of=/dev/sdz
[18:57] <mrmango> wish I was over there for that
[18:57] <mrmango> but it would cost too much cash :)
[18:57] <theadmin> CellTech: Wherein "sdz" is your usb stick. Note it's "sdz", not "sdz1" or somesuch.
[18:58] <mrmango> lol
[18:58] <CellTech> theadmin: correct. that's how it shows in unetbootin
[18:59] <theadmin> CellTech: I had awful experiences with unetbootin myself -- almost always failed on me, so I don't use it nor recommend anyone to.
[18:59] <CellTech> theadmin: What do you use? I'll try another no problem
[18:59] <theadmin> CellTech: Well as I said, from Linux I use dd, from Windows I use LiLi
[18:59] <PioneerAxon> CellTech: If you have unetbootin, then you don't need to worry. Just insert your usb stick, select ISO, select usb, click OK. Thats all..
[19:00] <PioneerAxon> CellTech: If this doesn't work, Just run dd if=
[19:00] <CellTech> Ok thank you. I'm gonna go try it now
[19:00] <haux> Is it possible to gzip a directory but exlude one directory within it?
[19:00] <haux> *exclude
[19:01] <theadmin> haux: It's not possible to gzip a directory, gzip compresses single files.
[19:01] <Lint> is it possible to install ubuntu from the ISO file, without booting from it?
[19:01] <PioneerAxon> CellTech: If this doesn't work, Just run dd if="PATH TO YOUR ISO" of="DEVICE LOC" bs=8M
[19:01] <mrmango> sure
[19:01] <haux> theadmin, I suppose I mean using the tar command with the gzip flag
[19:01] <theadmin> haux: If you mean tar, then sure -- tar czf my.tar.gz --exclude=yourdirectory/something yourdirectory
[19:01] <haux> theadmin, thank you
[19:01] <IntuitiveNipple> haux: If you use tar use the option --exclude=
[19:04] <xskydevilx> Does any one of you think I could use the beta 2 of Precise and just update when the final is out without having to re-install?
[19:05] <greenit> hi, i want to automatically mount a partition (/dev/sdb5) with read/write/execute-rights for me.. how can i do this? i tried to enter the partition in the fstab, but it mounted with root-rights -.-
[19:05] <llutz> greenit: what filesystem?
[19:05] <mrmango> this assume the user has chrome?
[19:05] <mrmango> ahh
[19:05] <greenit> llutz, ext4
[19:05] <trism> xskydevilx: yes you can
[19:06] <llutz> greenit: chmod/chown it to your needs
[19:06] <greenit> llutz, but i want to have the rights alrdy when i start up the computer
[19:06] <xskydevilx> trism, thanks.
[19:06] <llutz> greenit: chmod/chown it to your needs   once, it will be persistent
[19:06] <mrmango> this assumes they have chrome and know how to install the extension
[19:06] <greenit> llutz, ah, thx^^
[19:06] <mrmango> but its nice
[19:09] <Defusal> can anyone tell me what the recommended way to work with cpusets on ubuntu is? according to http://www.bullopensource.org/cpuset/cpuset.html debian has pcreate, pdestroy, pmod, pexec and pls commands, suse has a python util, but ubuntu has nothing... i also need to setup a bootcpuset, which suse has docs for, but ubuntus man pages say stuff like "SEE ALSO bootcpuset.conf(5), bootcpuset(8)",
[19:09] <Defusal> yet the links are invalid and no such pages exist
[19:09] <FloodBot1> Defusal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:09] <Defusal> FloodBot1, shutup :|
[19:10] <biobunsai> Well I got sound but its sooo lite can hardly hear it and I hooked it up to home system and tuned it all the way up
[19:11] <Defusal> this is starting to make me seriously regret using ubuntu over debian for my new server, it is as if someone removed these important utilities, docs and related things from ubuntu
[19:11] <mrmango> Defusal, yeah debian all the way for servers
[19:11] <Defusal> sigh
[19:12] <Defusal> well it's too late now, i thought ubuntu server would be like debian server with some extra stuff
[19:12] <mrmango> Defusal, I use ubuntu server here at home, but for LAMP stacks I would not
[19:12] <Defusal> it seems to be quite the opposite, where ubuntu server is missing core debian utils
