[13:28] <T|ASK> any way to stream the home without copying all files separately (whhich takes so long ) ,)
[13:28] <T|ASK> They should put a backup process in between the upgrade workflow ,)
[13:28] <bluesmurf> T|Ask: what I am trying to say, is: maybe nothing goes wrong, and you simply end up with a fresh backup (which probably does not hurt), but should anything go bad, wouldn't you rather have a fresh backup?
[13:29] <qwd> What does Ubuntu use for encrypted home folder? I didn't select that during install. I'm guessing it's encfs?
[13:29] <T|ASK> bluesmurf: I should know it better, because I had such acase in the past

[13:30] <nannes> Hi. I've just upgraded my notebook *hp dv6 3141sl* to ubuntu12.04. Now my "pointing" device (HP Clickpad Multi-Touch gestures) isn't working well: sx and dx clicks doesn't work at all, while touchpad seems to work well. What's wrong with that?
[13:30] <T|ASK> bluesmurf: I interrupted the upgrade process for a fresh backup ,)
[13:30] <bluesmurf> T|Ask: we all have ;)  and, as L3tops mentioned before, it may be worth the time to check /etc/apt/sources.list to see if it does point to "precise" (12.04)
[13:30] <Sidewinder> T|ASK, Better to be safe.. :)
[13:31] <Xeneth> ?
[13:31] <Xeneth> noone?
[13:31] <Sidewinder> Xeneth, 1,775 currently in this channel.
[13:31] <footvilla> would i have any issues backuping up my system if its a mdadm software raid with 2 128 ssd's on raid 0
[13:32] <L3tops> Xeneth: I did not see a question...
[13:32] <footvilla> and would that also backup harddrive partitions?
[13:32] <bluesmurf> nannes: did you do config, mouse and touchpad, touchpad, activate touchpad mouse click?
[13:32] <nannes> Xeneth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[13:32] <IPDude> anyone know about VPN Servers?
[13:32] <T|ASK> my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/962368/
[13:32] <ndee> is there a way to execute a command each 10s? I want to execute pidstat each 10 seconds, since the server crashes from time to time (Out of memory).
[13:32] <Gipzo> Sorry for interrupting, but is there simple way to switch 64-bit kernel to 32-bit one?
[13:33] <quick-> hi , i am not able to install java-6-jdk in 11.10 please help .
[13:33] <OerHeks> ndee use a cronjob
[13:33] <T|ASK> Seams that's now changed because of the do-dis-upgrade
[13:33] <Slartibart> My computer receives network config via DHCP. . So far.. But I still can't resolve any addresses with it, which I think is because resolv.conf only contains nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>. Does anyone know why the dns addresses from dhcp aren't written to resolv.conf? Is this correct? Or is my config wrong somewhere?
[13:33] <llutz> ndee: watch -n 10 pidstat
[13:33] <fidel_> ndee: in theory cron - but thats just one way
[13:33] <nannes> bluesmurf: uhm no :S
[13:33] <llutz> cron can't handle jobs faster than 1 minute without hacks
[13:33] <L3tops> T|ASK: all of your sources are precise go here and make a new one http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[13:34] <OerHeks> llutz, sorry, yes you are right.
[13:34] <fidel_> llutz: thanks for the info - didnt knew that
[13:34] <Xeneth> Sidewinder: Looking for the file that starts services on boot.
[13:34] <Xeneth> nannes: I am not using a GUI
[13:35] <nannes> bluesmurf: where can I do that?
[13:35] <Xeneth> L3tops: Looking for the file that holds the script for varies services that runs at boot.
[13:35] <ndee> OerHeks, for every 10 seconds? I thought cronjobs can do it only each minute.
[13:35] <intore> hi, i need to mount a remote samba share on my laptop but using this command: sudo mount //amahoro/user_data / gives this error: mount error: could not resolve address for amahoro: Unknown error. can you help me please?
[13:35] <OerHeks> ndee correct, my bad.
[13:35] <T|ASK> L3tops: but isn't it right if I already could upgrade?
[13:36] <Xeneth> L3tops: Basicly so I can see what starts and if need be comment out what I do not want running.
[13:36] <L3tops> Xeneth: /etc/init.d is where startup scripts are
[13:36] <ndee> k, looks like I have to create a script
[13:36] <bluesmurf> nannes: top right of the screen, "cog" icon, right click will show you the menu
[13:36] <T|ASK> I mean, I started the upgrade now and he must have the precise sources, or?
[13:36] <IPDude> need help with VPN server setup
[13:36] <L3tops> Might T|ASK. We will see I guess
[13:36] <L3tops> I have to go sorry folks.
[13:37] <Xeneth> L3tops: I looked there, and I see multiple rc files.  is there not a single file?
[13:37] <Xeneth> L3tops: NvM, it's /etc/ I see the multiple rc's.  Thanks
[13:38] <bluesmurf> nannes: did you find the config, ... mousepad?
[13:39] <compdoc> IPDude, which vpn server do you use?
[13:39] <nannes> bluesmurf: uhm i'm with gnome shell... not finding it
[13:40] <bluesmurf> nannes: my bad, shoud have asked earlier
[13:40] <IPDude> i want to set up a pptp or l2tp vpn server on my ubuntu server 11.10
[13:40] <nannes> np, do you know where it is, or is there a command for the shell?
[13:41] <bluesmurf> nannes: give me a sec, I'll try to find it for you
[13:41] <DebolazST> Is there any way to make the message received notifier blink, instead of just change color?
[13:41] <bluesmurf> nannes: I am using the unity at the moment
[13:41] <nannes> ok ok np I wait
[13:42] <IPDude> can you help with that compdoc?
[13:43] <bluesmurf> nannes: you using gnome 3, right? Top right, click on your username, system config will take you to the same place
[13:43] <bluesmurf> nannes: click on mouse & touchpad (center frame), then touch pad
[13:44] <laurus> Is there a better way to switch applications with the keyboard than just Alt-Tab?
[13:44] <bluesmurf> nannes: then select tochpad tap as mouse click, that should fix tapping
[13:45] <bluesmurf> nannes: not sure about multiple finger commands though (old netbook here, one-finger only)
[13:45] <Tinti> laurus: what about Super+w.
[13:45] <laurus> Tinti, Super+w?
[13:45] <Tinti> laurus: Win+w
[13:45] <Tinti> laurus: in unity or unity2d
[13:45] <laurus> Tinti, that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm using Openbox.
[13:46] <bluesmurf> nannes: did that work?
[13:46] <nannes> oooooh no no, it isn't that the problem... It wtill doesn't work
[13:47] <myhero> root@ubuntu:/media/PENDRIVE# dd if=ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/PENDRIVE

[13:47] <myhero> y can't i dd ?
[13:48] <myhero> any1 ?
[13:48] <joseph_> one question and I'll won't bother you again, Will it hurt to install a 64 bit OS to a 32 bit machine?
[13:48] <bazhang> joseph_, it wont run
[13:48] <bluesmurf> nannes: tapping the touchpad not interpreted as click?
[13:48] <joseph_> ok thank you
[13:49] <ThinkT510> myhero: you appear to be on the drive you want to dd it to
[13:49] <nannes> bluesmurf:  na na , the problem are *buttons*
[13:49] <acicula> myhero: you have to specify the /exact/directory/to/ubuntu-12.04-iso
[13:49] <nannes> Sx and Dx

[13:50] <acicula> myhero: please keep questions in #ubuntu
[13:50] <bluesmurf> nannes: sorry, out of ideas then
[13:50] <bazhang> IPDude, you may wish to ask in #ubuntu-server
[13:50] <myhero> ohh ok
[13:50] <myhero> ur msg comes to me in yellow colour....how to make it highlight to specific user ?
[13:50] <rkhshm> Hi all.. today when i booted into 11.04 i noticed that i got stuck at the grub (which never used to show up till date). Once at the grub I was not able to use my keyboard to press up or down to navigate .. Nothing worked..
[13:50] <rkhshm> i tried different USB ports but to no avail, could it be an issue with the OS or with my Mobo(as i suspected)
[13:51] <ThinkT510> myhero: mention their nick, some clients won't highlight if the nick isn't infront
[13:51] <IPDude> bazhang didnt even know that channel existed thanks
[13:52] <Tinti> laurus: sorry I have just enter
[13:52] <laurus> Tinti, no problem, the #debian people helped me out.
[13:52] <laurus> Thanks!
[13:53] <Tinti> laurus: how? Can you share it?

[13:53] <Sidewinder> !who | myhero
[13:53] <myhero> now thats ubuntu drive location now y no dd ?
[13:53] <bazhang> myhero, I gave you a link
[13:53] <T|ASK> ok Backup in progress... guess it'll befinished within a day ,)
[13:53] <ThinkT510> myhero: you really should unmount it first too
[13:53] <myhero> ohh
[13:54] <rkhshm> any ideas guys?
[13:54] <myhero> how to unmount it frm terminal ?
[13:54] <rkhshm> I have a lot of data (its my server) would really appreciate any help
[13:54] <alankila> myhero: the problem you have is the 3 ' on the command line. You sure you have folder called Movie's ?
[13:54] <ThinkT510> myhero: sudo umount /path/to/stick
[13:54] <alankila> shell prints > because it expects you to continue the command
[13:55] <myhero> bazhang: the link u gave i tried according to it but it didnt worked.....it didnt unmount the drive with the name what it got back as directed by the article
[13:55] <bazhang> myhero, I gave you the manual page explaining how to use dd
[13:55] <myhero> yes....
[13:55] <myhero> i read it
[13:55] <ThinkT510> myhero: really?
[13:56] <bazhang> myhero, what *exactly* "didn't work
[13:57] <myhero> when doing dd it says path or file does not exit
[13:57] <captine> hi all.  anyone know how to stop ones CPU running?  mine is still running at 10% but am barely doing anything on the machine...  i7 quad on laptop.  i would think it should not be running so much when just using xcht
[13:57] <myhero> wait 1 min...i m in the drive which i m trying to dd to
[13:57] <myhero> changing the dirctory then returning results
[13:57] <ThinkT510> myhero: sudo dd if="/path/to/file" of=/dev/nameofdevice
[13:57] <slikts> nice, of course alt+tab is broken for wine apps, how could I expect unity to work
[13:58] <slikts> silly me
[13:58] <bazhang> captine, what does top in the terminal show
[13:58] <OerHeks> captine, even if it is running 100% that is not bad.
[13:58] <ThinkT510> myhero: make sure you get the right device and its unmounted
[14:00] <alankila> unmounting the device whose filesystem one is about to destroy is in general a good policy
[14:00] <myhero> root@ubuntu:/# ls
[14:00] <myhero> bin  boot  cdrom  dev  etc  home  initrd  initrd.img  lib  media  mnt  opt  proc  rofs  root  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var  vmlinuz
[14:00] <alankila> the image is likely to be damaged by the unmount

[14:00] <FloodBot1> myhero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:00] <Pici> myhero: please don't paste here.
[14:00] <myhero> ok
[14:00] <Sidewinder> alankila, Well put.
[14:00] <bazhang> myhero, why are you root
[14:00] <myhero> like that only
[14:00] <myhero> is root not necessary ?
[14:01] <ThinkT510> myhero: guess what sudo is for
[14:01] <myhero> bazhang: then i will come at user home
[14:01] <myhero> yes
[14:01] <bazhang> myhero, why did you even enable the root account
[14:01] <myhero> right
[14:01] <myhero> ok next time i will keep in mind
[14:01] <Sidewinder> bazhang, I believe he's using Live CD/USB..
[14:01] <myhero> yes i m on live cd
[14:01] <g0bl1n> hi, how is the state of Ubuntu for Android ?
[14:01] <slikts> having a root account and using its password for sudo is more secure than using the user account password for sudo
[14:01] <bazhang> Sidewinder, really? is that root the default user?
[14:02] <g0bl1n> is Ubuntu for Android doable now ?
[14:02] <g0bl1n> s/doable/usable/
[14:02] <slikts> g0bl1n: wtf?
[14:02] <Sidewinder> bazhang, I'm not sure; been a while since I Live CDed..
[14:02] <myhero> root is not default but i did root
[14:02] <g0bl1n> slikts, http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[14:02] <IPDude> :(
[14:02]  * Sidewinder Stands corrected.
[14:02] <slikts> g0bl1n: thanks, it's crazy
[14:03] <popey> g0bl1n: not ready yet
[14:03] <g0bl1n> :-(
[14:03] <g0bl1n> I want it soooo bad !!!
[14:03] <popey> heh, so do a lot of people
[14:03] <g0bl1n> :-)
[14:03] <DebolazST> Hrmm, is there any way to make the message received notifier blink, instead of just change color?
[14:03] <slikts> Ubuntu is an OS, and Android is an OS, so does that mean that Ubuntu is virtualized in Android?
[14:04] <ThinkT510> DebolazST: for what? irc?
[14:04] <jpds> slikts: Neither are OSes, Linux is the OS.
[14:04] <DebolazST> ThinkT510: Instant messages.
[14:04] <nim0_> how do I  set the default audio device ?? I use ubuntu server + alsa
[14:04] <slikts> jpds: are you saying the kernel is an os?
[14:05] <aministrator> how do i set a theme for my irssi (just started) I dl'd the theme and run /set theme xxxxx
[14:05] <aministrator> but nothing changed
[14:05] <jpds> slikts: Yes.
[14:05] <slikts> jpds: that's dumb
[14:05] <IPDude> technically the kernal on both android and ubuntu is a modified unix kernal
[14:05] <slikts> IPDude: no…
[14:05] <jpds> slikts: First line of it's Wikipedia article.
[14:05] <Pici> IPDude: no its not.
[14:05] <ThinkT510> DebolazST: not sure sorry
[14:05] <slikts> jpds: *its
[14:06] <theuns> when opening pidgin in ubuntu 12.04, i dont see the form, i have to open it about 2 times before i see the form, have anybody else the same problem?
[14:06] <Pici> aministrator: That should be all you need to do.
[14:06] <IPDude> the linux kernel was a modified unix kernel
[14:07] <ThinkT510> IPDude: please don't talk rubbish, do you have a support issue
[14:07] <alankila> IPDude: tehnically not, unix codebase has not been used to derive the linux kernel codebase
[14:07] <theuns> i have now pidgin open with a "see through" form, it looks like the content is 100% transparent
[14:07] <alankila> this is why linux is not unix
[14:07] <s1> aministrator: correct , make the theme file in ~/.irssi dir .. for more assistance regarding irssi please /join #irssi
[14:07] <alankila> a company called SCO tried to argue it was, and failed miserably
[14:07] <htorque> hi all! how do i get information about an existing user group on the command line?
[14:07] <s1> *make sure
[14:09] <ThinkT510> htorque: "groups" will tell you which ones you belong to
[14:09] <aombk> how do i choose the gui if i start ubuntu with startx?
[14:10] <aombk> i mean, does ubuntu have something like xinitrc?\
[14:11] <ThinkT510> aombk: on ubuntu you are meant to start the gui with: sudo service lightdm start
[14:12] <ThinkT510> aombk: then you can choose your desktop from the login screen
[14:12] <me-1> hi...by what command i can check my network status (wired DSL not working after installing ubuntu fine with windows)
[14:13] <aombk> i want to deactivate the login screen
[14:13] <Jef91> So, I've setup my machine to have a static IP address via /etc/network/interfaces (contents here http://pastebin.com/qXAiatcm ) and I can SSH into the box just fine, but once logged into the machine it cannot access the internet. Using 12.04 - what am I doing wrong here?
[14:13] <ThinkT510> aombk: for what reason?
[14:13] <bull> good morning
[14:14] <Pici> aombk: if you are using startx and have xinitrc setup, it should honor it.
[14:14] <Jef91> aombk if you don't feel like messing with startx/xinitrc try nodm -> http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2011/12/howto-get-right-to-x-with-no-display.html
[14:15] <dr__willis> !info nodm
[14:15] <dr__willis> well lightdm is seeming to be broken for me. cant login into anys essions at all.
[14:15] <dr__willis> startx does work if i edit my .xsession
[14:17] <krababbel> me-1: ip addr
[14:17] <PatrickC> i cannot get wireless drivers to work on my Dell Vostro 1500
[14:17] <s1> dr__willis: what about gdm !
[14:18] <PatrickC> running Ubuntu 11.10
[14:18] <krababbel> Jef91: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[14:18] <s1>  PatrickC for what device
[14:18] <PatrickC> broadcom sta
[14:19] <Jef91> yes i can krababbel
[14:19] <jsebean> Hey all, I have installed 12.04 on my HP Pavilion Slimline s5000 computer, which has nVidia gfx, but 12.04 basically sucks on this computer. I can't even login, it just goes black. I use to be able to use it in 11.10 but it would freeze a lot, now it doesn't even work. Unity 2D works but I can't use any graphics acceleration, it's impossible to play minecraft. PLUS I have crashing happing all the time on my other PCs like Compiz, Sof
[14:19] <krababbel> Jef91: looks like missing dns. Put a dns entry in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[14:19] <jsebean> I can't believe this is actually a stable release and LTS for 5 years :O
[14:20] <krababbel> Jef91: then maybe also do resolvconf -u
[14:20] <alankila> jsebean: you were cut off because of your long message, but we get the idea
[14:20] <alankila> yeah, try to wait for point releases, wider testing generally results in stability/working improvements.
[14:21] <riyonuk> Hello all! I'm going to be running Ubuntu server on VMWare (on my MacBook). What's a reasonable amount of memory I need for it? Would 1GB be overkill?
[14:21] <s1> PatrickC: do you mind pastein the output of lshw -C network
[14:21] <alankila> I updated 12.04 to server not long ago and it's been entering a failure mode where task_struct grows to use > 20 % of physical memory and nothing really works, programs just stall somehow
[14:21] <alankila> it happens every few weeks. :-/
[14:21] <PatrickC> s1: ill try
[14:21] <s1> !paste > PatrickC
[14:21] <jsebean> alankilla: Any idea to even login Unity 3D? I'll say this much I'll never buy another PC with nVidia again
[14:22] <jsebean> alankilla: Nor anything Intel... Guess it's AMD for now on
[14:22]  * s1 lag!
[14:22] <alankila> riyonuk: it depends, but I run most of my VMs with 1 GB. It happens to be enough for the use case I have for them.
[14:22] <alankila> jsebean: nah, intel makes fine CPUs, imho
[14:22] <riyonuk> Well, I'm limited to 8GB, so I need my memory (that's all I have installed on my MacBook).
[14:22] <PatrickC> s1: getting the text now
[14:23] <jsebean> alankilla: I have nothing but bad luck with their integrated GPU
[14:23] <krababbel> riyonuk: you should see how much you actually use, and then set it
[14:23] <jsebean> alankilla: On Ubuntu anyway
[14:23] <thiago_> hellow
[14:23] <alankila> jsebean: yeah, I haven't tried that. I bought a i5-2500 recently but it's for server usage
[14:23] <alankila> it gave me vga text console when I plugged the thing to TFT (it's normally headless) so I'm happy
[14:23] <s1> PatrickC: Nice , you could share the pastbin link here .
[14:23] <thiago_> do speek portuguese
[14:23] <johnl__> hi, I've got a bug with Precise. It's reported on launchpad but doesn't seem to be getting any attention. Can I poke somebody? It seems relavitely importabt to the user experience! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/977866
[14:23] <Jef91> krababbel I do need to set a special dns for these - the address is <IP_ADDRESS> for it. Do i just put that addy into that file or do I need to do something more than that?
[14:24] <bazhang> !br | thiago_
[14:24]  * alankila thinks that only hardware manufacturers know how to write good enough drivers for their hardware. :-/ in general open source drivers have been rather poor, especially with wi-fi or graphics
[14:24] <Pici> !ot
[14:25] <alankila> and the reason it works for hardware guys is that the software guys can ask the people who designed the hardware directly why something doesn't work
[14:25] <alankila> err.. hardware vendors
[14:26] <krababbel> Jef91: It works like resolv.conf file, the package resolvconf takes you entry and copies it there. Add 'nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>' to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[14:26] <PatrickC> s1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/962464/
[14:26] <htorque> ThinkT510: is there nothing the other way around? i'd like to get more information about a specific group rather than what "groups" returns.
[14:27] <ThinkT510> htorque: not sure sorry
[14:27] <Pici> htorque: what sort of information are you looking for?
[14:27] <alankila> What especially soured me with ati hardware was that fglrx support for my hardware was dropped when the open source driver was "good enough". But I often see regressions, like opengl shaders can't be used anymore after fglrx goes away. Last year I uninstalled linux on most of my desktops because I gave up.
[14:27] <s1> PatrickC: then , i'd advise you follow this starting with section 3 .
[14:28] <s1> PatrickC: Aleight , got it! thank you .
[14:28] <jarco> Hello, When I try to install the new ubuntu (both from usb and cd) it keeps stalling at the ubuntu logo with the loading dots. I tried installing it with live and alternate cd. Lubuntu and debian have the same problem.
[14:28] <htorque> Pici: like "what are group x's permissions - what can you do when you are in group x" (not that i'm sure that there is such information available).
[14:28] <alankila> jarco: if possible, give nosplash on the kernel command line, see if it helps
[14:29] <alankila> I have had to boot my servers and some other systems without splash because the splash crashes the kernel or gpu or something.
[14:29] <jarco> alankila: you mean in grub?
[14:29] <tsimpson> htorque: that doesn't exist, permissions are applied to each file/directory, rather than to users/groups
[14:29] <alankila> jarco: or CD loader
[14:30] <alankila> for instance you might be able to type "linux nosplash" to the ISOLinux loader
[14:30] <alankila> if the kernel image name known by the ISOLinux is "linux"
[14:30] <jarco> ok i ll try
[14:30] <alankila> the splash screen annoys me a lot because it's especially useless on server where you want to see everything, and the splash has actually crashed hardware I have owned
[14:30] <alankila> so I think it's incredibly stupid to put that stuff even on server images
[14:31] <htorque> tsimpson: yeah right, i wasn't referring to those permissions though.
[14:31] <PatrickC> s1: what do you think?
[14:31] <htorque> i'd just like to know what it means for the user to be, e.g., in the "sambashare" group.
[14:32] <htorque> or are groups really nothing more than an attribute of a user?
[14:32] <tsimpson> htorque: other than iterating over every file/directory on the system, you can't get that information
[14:33] <tsimpson> htorque: groups aren't attributes of users, but users are attributes of groups
[14:34] <jarco> alankila: well at least i got an installer now. But that is probably because I used expert mode this time ...
[14:35]  * alankila hopes canonical moves into harware business and starts selling actual linux laptops
[14:36] <alankila> hardware where linux can be installed is going away, especially if win8 moves to arm-based systems.
[14:37] <bazhang> !ot | alankila
[14:37] <ThinkT510> alankila: can we stick to support please
[14:37] <alankila> Yes, correct. I'll just shut up.
[14:37] <tsimpson> besides, linux runs just fine on ARM systems
[14:38] <s1> PatrickC: you need to determine if the device is using the correct kernel driver fot it .. if you look at the configuration line: from the output of lshw -C network .. you'll see the driver name=b43 is loaded , but the frimware is missing !
[14:38] <mneptok> alankila: http://system76.com || http://zareason.com
[14:39] <PatrickC> s1: ahh.. i didn't even look at it
[14:39] <ALAYA> Question: I'm using empathy for chat under Ubuntu 12.04  but it don't show correctly unicode char. Some solution ? thx
[14:39] <s1> PatrickC: wel , that is if a frimware is required.
[14:40] <PatrickC> its odd... my gateway never had any troubles with ubuntu wifi, my dads dell is not happy with it
[14:41] <PatrickC> s1: thanks for the help, we're just going back to puppy linux for now (which we know works)
[14:41] <footvilla> is there any way to transfer a raid 0 (mdadm) 2x 128gig sdd  ubuntu server to 1 large  1TB HD?
[14:41] <twig11> Why would the dash fail to show any apps after an upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04? I used a usb flash drive to upgrade and everything seems to work so far, except that the dash shows no shortcuts at all except recent files. No apps in the dash home screen, and nothing at all in the application lens. I've googled this and can't seem to find anyone else with the problem.
[14:42] <alankila> footvilla: yes, just make filesystem-level copy of the contents
[14:42] <twig11> Also, after logging in, ubuntu throws an "internal error" message saying that the video lens has crashed.
[14:43] <s1> twig11: is 12.04 up to date ..
[14:43] <twig11> s1:I think so, let me double-check
[14:43] <footvilla> its that easy?

[14:49] <suspect_x> exit
[14:50] <fg> I am installing kubuntu 12.04 but the installer crashes on disk selection. can anybody help me?
[14:50] <alankila> footvilla: but if it's just some data volume, then cp -av should be good enough for any purpose
[14:50] <axaxin> no...
[14:50] <axaxin> it's not shoift
[14:51] <axaxin> It's not shift OerHeks

[14:51] <theGrg> Guys can someone tell me what Ubuntu's "safely remove" feature actually does, and how I can replicate it manually?  But if I "eject" or "umount", it simply unmounts and stays powered on. I tried "sdparm --comand=stop", that seems to momentarily turn it off for a second and then it automatically powers on again.
[14:51] <fg> Sidewinder: No. How?
[14:51] <MadsRC> If I want to create a new user on a 10.04 Server, and change that user's home directory to /var/www and chroot the user to that directory only, how is that done?

[14:57] <axaxin> bazhang: sda3
[14:57] <bazhang> axaxin, and you have read the grub2 wiki, run the update-grub command

[14:58] <s1> twig11: or using the live-cd ..
[14:58] <axaxin> bazhang: yes i did update-grub, and tried to boot without the usb pen Inside
[14:59] <mengu> Pessimist: unfortunately, it's the same error
[14:59] <s1> twig11: also , where is that pastebin link with the  "internal error" message
[14:59] <axaxin> bazhang: but, unless i have the pen instaled, the notebook jumps straight to "press F11 to recover system..." and after timeout starts windows

[15:05] <theGrg> ActionParsnip I can't seem to be replicate this on my other Arch install, any idea why that may be the case? I mean when I run those two commands, it simply unmounts but remains powered on.
[15:05] <MadsRC> Wouldn't be too wise to give a user root permissions?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> theGrg: i'd ask in the arch channel then
[15:05] <theGrg> No one seems to know
[15:05] <theGrg> In fact I was told to ask here
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: they can use sudo to copy data over and such
[15:05] <MadsRC> It's for FTP use, so no sudo :P
[15:05] <axaxin> i changed the boot parameter from sda1 to sda3 and after the recovery menu it won't boot any system
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> theGrg: only Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu are supported here, nothing more, nothing less
[15:06] <axaxin> neither windows nor linux
[15:06] <axaxin> neither windows nor grub
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: what is the ownig group of the folder
[15:06] <ikonia> axaxin: what do you expect ? you've told it to boot from a different drive
[15:06] <htorque> can anyone tell me, why debian's kernel debug package is much smaller than ubuntu's (-dbg 250 mb to download, 1.8 gb on disk vs. -dbgsym 650 mb to download, 2.2 gb on disk)?
[15:06] <MadsRC> The owning group? That should only be root users
[15:07] <Kruptein> Hi everyone
[15:07] <theGrg> ok, ActionParsnip do you know what is causing my HDD to power down in Ubuntu? Is this controlled by some program/daemon that has to do with power management?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: so it's not owned by root:www-data ?
[15:07] <s1> fg: Alright then , when you see the GRUB menu press 'e' then delete " - - " from the inputline and add " nomodeset " after that press CTrl+X or hit F10 key.
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> theGrg: turn of laptop mode maybe
[15:07] <resno> can anyone tell me if amd radeon hd 6350 work with ubuntu?... were is the site to check linux v4l? or something

[15:09] <Kruptein> nvm
[15:09] <fg> s1: I am in live CD. Where  is the grub? Explain please
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: you could make a new group and add yourself and root to the group, then run:   sudo chown -r :groupname /var/www ; sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www
[15:10] <Kruptein> fg what are you trying to accomplish?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: the users in the group you make will then have write access
[15:11] <Kruptein> fg grub is the system that makes you able to choose between different os's on startup   as you are on the live CD I presume taht you didn't install ubuntu yet and thus didn't activate grub
[15:11] <MadsRC> And only to /var/www and not /var right?
[15:11] <Kruptein> s/taht/that
[15:11] <deicon__> is there a specific ubuntu edition for netbooks?
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: yes, only to /var/www
[15:11] <ThinkT510> is it possible to open multiple instances of pcmanfm using the unity bar (i know it has tabbed support, just curious)

[15:14] <bazhang> deicon__, how much ram
[15:14] <JWL1979> Just get the server install, which is minimal, and install whatever you want.
[15:14] <deicon__> 1 gb

[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: ahhh, I see. No bad thing :)
[15:16] <ichbinder> if I grep the output of rsync, there are no previous errors up to this point!
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: thanks
[15:16] <ichbinder> also no warning message
[15:16] <Kruptein> np ^^
[15:16] <deicon__> xangua: in the website i can see only the 12.04 edition
[15:17] <Kruptein> anyone else that might know why unity greeter doesn't show a personal wallpaper?
[15:17] <ichbinder> how to proceed? :-/
[15:17] <Kruptein> I guess I should just start a new forum thread

[15:17] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, PP 12.04 uses same app
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: yeah, weird command for a sound. Thought it'd be aplay
[15:18] <Kruptein> yeah it's pretty atypical
[15:18] <Kruptein> (if that's even a word)
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> I always delete it but someone wants to put it back in on the forum (weird)
[15:18] <adammw111> Hi, anyone know how to change the colour of windows in gnome panel? with the default theme they're some weird white colour for some reason instead of the dark grey...
[15:19] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, normally you would disable it in the GUI menu
[15:19] <twig11> Is it a bad idea to upgrade directly from 11.04 to 12.04 from a liveusb?
[15:19] <s1> fg: at the end of the menu you'll see F1-F6 keys .. or the keys my differ , deppends on which tool you used to burn the iso image.
[15:19] <ThinkT510> twig11: yes
[15:19] <xangua> twig11: well you would have to upgrade to 11.10 first
[15:19] <bazhang> twig11, you need to go to 11.10 first
[15:19] <twig11> ThinkT10: I just did it.
[15:19] <ThinkT510> twig11: then something might be broken
[15:20] <s1> twig11: Upgrade from a Live-cd !
[15:20] <xangua> Kruptein: it does show my wallpaper on mine, is it a fresh install¿ are you using lightdm¿
[15:20] <ThinkT510> twig11: it isn't supported
[15:20] <Kruptein> xangua fresh install and did not change important things
[15:20] <ThinkT510> twig11: you sure you didn't just install over, rather than upgrade
[15:21] <twig11> ThinkT510: then it doesn't seem like the the installer should offer the option. I guess I let the slick interface lull me into a false sense of security.
[15:21] <Kruptein> xangua: I always do fresh installs because there always seems to be some things wrong when I just upgrade :p
[15:21] <ThinkT510> twig11: what? you can't upgrade from 11.04 directly to 12.04 and the installer wouldn't offer that option to you
[15:21] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[15:22] <s1> ThinkT510: i was just thinking if that even possible ! " upgrading from the Live-CD " .
[15:22] <twig11> ThinkT510: Dude. It did. from the LiveUSB.
[15:22] <ThinkT510> s1: don't think so no

[15:23] <shamt> Hi
[15:23] <ThinkT510> twig11: you sure it wasn't 10.04?
[15:23] <fg> s1: After that, i must resume normal installation. is it correct?
[15:23] <s1> Hi hi .
[15:23] <shamt> Ihave problem with ubuntu 12.04
[15:23] <Kruptein> Ok I think I found the problem,  for some reason my wallpapers all have no permissions for other users and apparently the greeter will fall back to default, hopefully that will work
[15:23] <OerHeks> twig11, everybody tells you upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 tru usb does not work, that is why you are here.
[15:23] <samshiks> what do i do?
[15:24] <twig11> s1: hey forgot to tell you I found a fix on askubuntu for that problem. But there are other little weird things wrong.

[15:25] <trinimoses> morning all
[15:25] <s1> fg: thats the point .. your Grahpic Card might be causing that issue .. so when the installation is done after a reboot make sure to use the right driver for your graphic card.
[15:25] <trinimoses> quick question
[15:25] <Kruptein> nope didn't change a damn -_-
[15:25] <twig11> s1: ctrl-alt-t doesn't open Terminal, for example. And I had to restart empathy because it was buggy about joining this room. Doesn't look too good.
[15:25] <trinimoses> I am looking at doing an upgrade of 10.04lts to 12.04lts on ym zimbra email server...
[15:26] <s1> twig11: Good to know .. know are these other issues you're facing !
[15:26] <trinimoses> what should i be worried about ?
[15:26] <fg> s1: Thanks a lot for your help:)
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: yeah I just delete the .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart to delete it, that's all that GUI does :)
[15:26] <fg> Sidewinder: Thanks a lot:)
[15:26] <krababbel> What does in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume point to?
[15:26] <s1> fg: You're welcome , please report back here :)
[15:26] <xangua> they are weid because you did a weird thing to force upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 twig11
[15:26] <fg> Kruptein: Thanks a lot:)
[15:26] <CRIM> ciao
[15:26] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, You might want to wait until 12.04.1 comes out.
[15:26] <Kruptein> fg what did I do? :D
[15:26] <trinimoses> sidewinder .. any particular reason y ?
[15:26] <warpino> hi there
[15:27] <s1> Hi
[15:27] <Sidewinder> fg, My pleasure.
[15:27] <twig11> s1: I just didn't want to have to go through two upgrades or restore all my users data from backups. The perils of laziness. Is it worth trying to work out these other issues or do you recommend a clean reinstall?
[15:27] <CRIM> !list
[15:27] <warpino> I wish to install ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook air (2011 version)
[15:27] <warpino> there's actually a big mess of guides and posts and none seem to agree with each other
[15:27] <warpino> can you point me to a reliable source of info, please?
[15:27] <fg> Kruptein: Your interest:D
[15:28] <Kruptein> fg oh np :)
[15:28] <warpino> for instance, it seems that installing from a USB flash disk is not as good as installing from CD
[15:28] <warpino> but many people seem to ignore it
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> warpino: why shell out the excessive cost of Mac, then install 3rd party OS. Unless you dual boot, Apple are laughing all the way to the bank
[15:28] <warpino> sorry ActionParsnip
[15:28] <warpino> I didn't get it
[15:28] <warpino> whatchumean?
[15:29] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, I read it somewhere, or it was given here as advice; I'm using 10.04 as well and am in no rush to upgrade; 'tis your choice.. :-)
[15:29] <s1>  ActionParsnip :)
[15:29] <krababbel> For hibernation, should I edit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla or /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/hibernate.pkla ?
[15:29]  * alankila thinks air is awesome hardware... thin, light, and low power
[15:29] <warpino> I think air is awesome hardware too
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> warpino: if you remove Mac OS, Apple have your cash but don't have to support you in any way
[15:29] <fg> Kruptein: Your attention. it is correct. Sorry for my English:)
[15:29] <alankila> even linus torvalds reportedly uses it
[15:29] <warpino> ActionParsnip I do not want to remove Mac OS
[15:30] <warpino> I didn't even think of it
[15:30] <Kruptein> fg interest could have worked as well ;)   I just hope you are now able to enjoy ubuntu :)
[15:30] <UICTamale> yah too bad the keyboard is missing crucial keys like page up and page down
[15:30] <UICTamale> and insert
[15:30] <s1> twig11: either way , make sure you backup your data ..
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> warpino: sweet, could use a virtualized ubuntu if it won't install
[15:30] <Kruptein> alankila: about what are we talking? :)
[15:30] <UICTamale> and home and end :[
[15:30] <warpino> ActionParsnip I'd just like
[15:30] <warpino> to know
[15:30] <warpino> if there is a reliable guide
[15:31] <warpino> to install ubuntu 12.04 on MBair
[15:31] <Athanasius> is there a way to flag a package in ubuntu, "I don't want this package upgraded ever. Don't ever ask me about upgrading it."
[15:31] <Pici> !enter | warpino
[15:31] <trinimoses> sidewinder : whats chaing in 12.04.1 lts ??
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> alankila: if you want, thin, light and low power, get an ultra book. Even lower power than a mac and cheaper, and thinner
[15:31] <warpino> yes, sorry
[15:31] <alankila> yeah maybe... I got a macbook air because I needed xcode for an ios project ordered by one customer
[15:32] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, Something about the ability to upgrade from within update mgr., and some other items, I believe but don't remember.. :-(
[15:32] <alankila> but I've really taken to it and now use it vor everything. (and yes, I know, I'm off-topic.)
[15:32] <s1> twig11: to me fixing issues is an experience .. so to answer your qustion it really depends on your Mood :)
[15:33] <JayWalker_> is there a known fix for the issues some people are having with 12.04 64-bit on nvidia systems? where unity crashes and a black screen is displayed?
[15:33] <krababbel> is 'sudo update-initramfs -u' correct?
[15:33] <rollitup> anyone using compiz fusion ?
[15:33] <twig11> s1: yeah, I'm all backed up. One question that I can't seem to find a clear answer for is whether it's simple to restore users files with Deja Dup from a usb hard drive. I've been using it for backup and I don't want to delete my user data until I know I can smoothly restore it. Does Deja Dup work for that?
[15:33] <trinimoses> sidewinder ok.. thanks for teh heads up..
[15:33] <rollitup> i am trying to enable rotate cube but nothing happens
[15:33] <Kruptein> Athanasius: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-prevent-a-package-from-being-updated-in-ubuntu.html
[15:33] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, Many will tell you that you're better with a fresh install, anyway. Decisions, decisions,..
[15:33] <trinimoses> i am worried that it might break my zimbra email box
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: what video chip do you use?
[15:34] <s1> JayWalker_: doesn't that deppends on the exact nVidia card.
[15:34] <UICTamale> did anyone else have grub problems after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04?  I have three computers I upgraded.. a laptop, a server, and a desktop.. all three had unbootable grub menus after upgrading.  The laptop was dual-booting with windows on it, but the desktop and server only had ubuntu installed.  I thought that seemed really poor, but I'm curious if my experience was simply a fluke
[15:34] <rollitup> using Nividia
[15:34] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, Just back-up everything; twice. :-)
[15:34] <Athanasius> Kruptein: Excellent! Thank you
[15:34] <Kruptein> Athanasius: you're welcome :)
[15:34] <JayWalker_> s1, I suppose. I'm on a geforce go 6150
[15:34] <rollitup> i mean its an onboard graphic card that comes with asus mobo
[15:34] <trinimoses> sidewinder : i agreee with the fresh install.. just that zimbra hasnt released a 12.04 lts package yet
[15:34] <warpino> by the way. On some websites they name some "mac version" of ubuntu desktop .iso
[15:34] <trinimoses> and they arent being forcoming witha  release date
[15:34] <s1> twig11: i can't tel , as i've never used Deja Dup before.
[15:35] <Kruptein> btw side problem for some reason my external monitor does not show up if I go to system-settings>screens   I always have to go to the nvidia configuration panel,  is there a fix for this?
[15:35] <Sidewinder> trinimoses, I know nothing about zimbra, sorry; but best to wait,,.
[15:35] <trinimoses> k
[15:35] <trinimoses> i will isntall  12.04 on a vm and paly with it
[15:36] <Sidewinder> That works.
[15:36] <skyer2000> hi, i'm running 11.04 and want to update to 12.04 in the update manager
[15:36] <skyer2000> however it is asking for me to update to 11.10, is there a way to skip that release?
[15:36] <s1> JayWalker_: what issue you having with that card on 12.04 !
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> skyer2000: you need to upgrade to 11.10 first, then you can upgrade to 12.04
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> skyer2000: skipping releases is not suported
[15:36] <twig11> Does Deja Dup work well to restore user data from an external hdd after a clean reinstall?
[15:37] <Sidewinder> skyer2000, You can't skip releases (unless you're going from LTS to LTS_.
[15:37] <skyer2000> ok, thank you
[15:37] <skyer2000> i plan on sticking with LTS from now on
[15:37] <JayWalker_> s1, after installing the nvidia drivers and attempting to login to the standard unity 3d desktop, the screen goes black and shortly after, a compiz crash report is generated. then I'm left looking at the wallpaper and nothing else
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> skyer2000: personally I'd just clean install the LTS so it is as intended, then restore user data from backup
[15:37] <s1> JayWalker_: I see :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969607
[15:37] <PerfectGlitch> Hi, just had a simple question. I ran Ubuntu 12.04 from a USB drive to recover files from a Windows Installation. I copied one file to the "Home" location and one to the "Pics" location within Ubuntu. Where is that file located when viewing the USB drive within windows? Thanks!! - Josh
[15:37] <JayWalker_> s1, yep. that's me.
[15:38] <skyer2000> i never use it, it's just a server that sits online all day and runs cron jobs with rsync every night
[15:39] <veebull> has anyone here installed eric4 on 12.04LTS?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> !info eric4
[15:39] <veebull> okay, 'eric' - which is eric4, btw.
[15:40] <veebull> I want to know if I'm the only one who it installs in spanish/portugese instead of English
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: what GPU do you use?
[15:40] <rollitup> using nividia
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> veebull: have you asked in #ubuntu-es
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: and is the proprietary nvidia driver installed and in use?
[15:41] <rollitup> yes i did install the recommended one and not the post release one
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: do you use switchable video chips (intel and nvidia)?
[15:41] <veebull> not sure why I would ask there when I don't speak spanish myself, and I only want it in *english* on my computer
[15:41] <s1> JayWalker_: is it on a laptop or a PC ..
[15:41] <rollitup> not using switchable video chips
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> veebull: I see, weird
[15:41] <JayWalker_> s1, laptop. HP DV6227CL
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: ok and if you run:  nvidia-settings    do you get any warnings or errors?
[15:41] <JayWalker_> s1, running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
[15:41] <veebull> is that something worth filing a bug report on?
[15:41] <rollitup> when i use the short keys that are assigned for Round cube nothing in 3d really happens it only switches the workspace
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> veebull: sounds like a good idea to me
[15:42] <s1> JayWalker_: and does it have 2 video cards ..
[15:42] <rollitup> ctrl + alt + down that is
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: ok and if you run:  nvidia-settings    do you get any warnings or errors?
[15:42] <rollitup> should i run that in the console ?
[15:42] <JayWalker_> s1, no. Just the geforce go 6150
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: yes
[15:42] <twig11> s1: If the installer gave me an option to install ubuntu 12.04 while saving applications and user data, that IS an upgrade, right, or am I missing something?
[15:43] <rollitup> no it opens the nvidia control properly
[15:43] <Anomie21> Ive been given a spreadsheet to keep track of sales while the admin girl is away, I've ran out of space so I tried shifting the line that totals the prices down, but whenever I do that the bottom line stops calculating whats above it (libreoffice) ?
[15:43] <NFisher> #j ubuntu-offtopic
[15:43] <NFisher> lol sry
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: ok, press ALT+F2 and run:    compiz --replace
 it opens the Nvidia X server settings properly
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> !tab| rollitup
[15:44] <Kruptein> good guy MonkeyDust
[15:44] <twig11> s1: still trying to figure out what I did if the installer is not supposed to support skipping releases. Anyway, you game to help me figure out why the default keyboard shortcut doesn't work to launch Terminal?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: is compiz now running ok? do your settings in CCSM work? (I hate compiz)
[15:48] <Kruptein> isn't it like only ubuntu that still uses/supports compiz?
[15:49] <drPoO> how do I set a bash script to run on a schedule?
[15:49] <ikt__> drPoO, cron
[15:49] <Kruptein> cron is the way to go
[15:49] <ikt__> Does anyone know where to put gdm3 scripts?
[15:49] <ikt__> I want to run x11vnc as a service when gdm3 starts, but I'll go with an init script if I can :s
[15:50] <robgraves> hi
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> hi robgraves
[15:53] <Zentaur> hi everyone
[15:54] <Zentaur> could anybody install the nvidia driver in 12.04?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: use the additional driver app
[15:54] <UICTamale> so no one else had grub problems after upgrading to 12.04 ?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> UICTamale: clean installed to upgrade, so no :)
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> UICTamale: what issue are you having?
[15:55] <UICTamale> all three computers I upgraded had to have that boot-repair program run from a live stick before I could boot
[15:55] <Zentaur> thanks ActionParsnip. Do you know where can i find it? i'm not an experienced user
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: in dash, search for the word:   driver
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> UICTamale  i upgraded via the terminal, no flaws here
[15:56] <Zentaur> nothin found
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: run:   gksudo jockey-gtk
[15:57] <Kruptein> ok fixed the unity-greeter problem
[15:57] <himanshu_> please help me run ubuntu 12.04 on 550ti i get black screen
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> himanshu_: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[15:57] <Kruptein> himanshu_: you'll need to describe more if you want us to help you
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset| himanshu_
[15:58] <kermit> how to i stop network manager from automatically connecting to random wireless networks?
[15:58] <twig11> What's likely to be wrong if ctrl+alt+t doesn't launch the terminal in 12.04?
[15:58] <Zentaur> it says that there's no private driver n my system
[15:58] <himanshu_> but i have installed that
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> twig11: have you set another shortcut to it? If you use terminal a lot, I suggest you install guake :)
[16:00] <Kruptein> twig11 check your ccsm?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> himanshu_: installed what?
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> twig11  system settings, eyboard, shortcuts
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> k
[16:00] <rollitup> ActionParsnip: sorry for responding late, the command compiz --replace froze the screen for a while and then i got an error message saying the application Unity 2d closed unexpectedly
[16:00] <neattoast> ActionParsnip: CompizConfigSettingsManager
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: well yeah, so that unity (not 2d, can run)
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> neattoast: right target?
[16:01] <rollitup> i have just installed Precise Pangolin
[16:01] <Kruptein> twig11: in case you use ccsm it is ccsm>general>gnome compatibilty>commands  otherwise check the settings like MonkeyDust said
[16:01] <neattoast> ActionParsnip: yup
[16:01] <neattoast> ActionParsnip: cssm
[16:01] <Jerry_> Hi -- in 12.04 update manager, shows changelog in Details window but it waits for me to hit "q" to get it to continue.  How can I change this behavior?
[16:01] <neattoast> ActionParsnip: actaully, it is ccsm :D
[16:02] <twig11> ActionParsnip: no, it just quit working after update. I'll check ccsm and keyboard settings.
[16:02] <rollitup> so does that mean i don't have a choice to run compiz in that case ActionParsnip
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> neattoast: I don't use compiz, so have no problems with it, nor need it. So why are you telling me this?
[16:02] <Zentaur> what should i do?
[16:02] <neattoast> ActionParsnip: I misread your post
[16:02] <Kruptein> I'm wondering as well :p
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: compiz should now be running, is the cube working?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> neattoast: thought so ;)
[16:02] <rollitup> i only get the workspace switcher
[16:02] <Kruptein> twig11: there is btw a bug that didn't get solved it seems https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/975416
[16:03] <rollitup> when i use those shortcuts assigned to round cube
[16:03] <Kruptein> twigg11 wait that was a duplicate of this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/952223  might check that
[16:03] <himanshu__> will installing driver help me?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> himanshu__: yes, but you need a desktop to do it in first
[16:04] <Kruptein> himanshu__: did you try what MonkeyDust and ActionParsnip told youN
[16:04] <Kruptein> s/N/?/
[16:04] <krababbel> When I issue pm-hibernate, it immediately wakes again. It worked for some days after Precise came out. Wed May  2 17:19:47 CEST 2012: performing hibernate / s2disk: Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a). Reason: No such device / Wed May  2 17:19:47 CEST 2012: Awake.
[16:04] <himanshu__> i am goona try
[16:05] <ThinkT510> is it possible to open multiple instances of pcmanfm using the unity bar? (i know it has tabbed support, just curious)
[16:05] <elanz> where do I make changes on ubuntu so that the resolv.conf file isn't overwritten?
[16:05] <himanshu__> well nice suppert team thanx
[16:05] <Kruptein> ThinkT shift + super + um
[16:05] <Kruptein> *num
[16:05] <Kruptein> ThinkT510: ^
[16:06] <Kruptein> himanshu__: it's solved?
[16:06] <Kruptein> I guess so
[16:06] <rollitup> ActionParsnip: is there any other way to get it running if Unity 2d does not support rotate cube in compiz fusion ?
[16:07] <ThinkT510> Kruptein: ahh, cool, thanks (don't suppose there is a mouse way to do it too?)
[16:07] <Kruptein> ThinkT510: I hoped right click and clicking the name would work but it didn't :/  I also tried it
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: 2d doesn't use compiz, so won't give the cube. If you log off, then select Unity from the session menu instead of 2D, is it ok?
[16:07] <Kruptein> ThinkT510: I'm waiting for an answer as well :D
[16:07] <uglyoldbob> im writing some SCSI device code for a cd drive and having problems with the read toc command. is the mmc specification correct? It never tells me what the control byte is for
[16:08] <s1>  JayWalker_ then i'd start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[16:08] <Kruptein> ThinkT510: apparently it is middle mouse button -_-
[16:08] <rollitup> ActionParsnip: I need to check if there is an option to select Unity from the session menu
[16:08] <rollitup> brb
[16:08] <ThinkT510> Kruptein: ah, that worked, thanks
[16:08] <Kruptein> ThinkT510: np :)
[16:08] <s1> twig11: been a long time since i've used the installer .. is that option new !
[16:08] <JayWalker_> s1, alright. it's annoying when stuff like this happens, especially considering i had 0 problems with 10.04 on the same machine
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> JayWalker_: some video chips dislike the nouveau driver and (i believe) the display timings were moved in to the kernel. So you need extra options sometimes to get a display
[16:10] <Jerry_> Hi -- in 12.04 update manager, shows changelog in Details window but it waits for me to hit "q" to get it to continue.  How can I change this behavior?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> JayWalker_: it also probably means you will get a black screen instead of plymouth but its harmless and the OS will boot to the desktop
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: Why do you have to press q?
[16:12] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: because otherwise update manager does not continue.  It goes so far then stops.  If I open the details window I can see that it has displayed the changelog but is stopped at the end
[16:12] <twig11> s1: I think that option was there in 11.10. That's the first I remember seeing it. I was surprised this time, however, that it offered to go from 11.04 to 12.04 when Update Manager was still offering an upgrade to 11.10.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: yes but how do you know to press Q? What is onscreen?
[16:13] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: I figured it was using "less" or something so I tried hitting "q" which made it continue
[16:13] <twig11> s1: maybe it's a different process, I don't know.
[16:13] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: Onscreen all I see is a progress bar that has stopped increasing
[16:13] <hardy89> Ther's prblm with my WiFi !! Everytime I have to Unintall & reinstall driver for using Wifi.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: so why not press P or N etc?
[16:14] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: After a while I opened the details to see what might be there.  that's when I saw the changelog and thought to enter "q", which worked
[16:14] <Kruptein> because he knows that you need to press q to end the less command
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: ahhh
[16:14] <Kruptein> :)
[16:14] <Kruptein> god I hate these pidgin smileys /offtopic
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: then opt to not view the changelog
[16:14] <Glaasje> hi!! =3
[16:14] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: Well, I'm just used to hitting "q" to exit the "less" command and figured it might work. "p" would just take me back to the top, but not make UM continue
[16:14] <Kruptein> haha ActionParsnip awesome advise :D
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: you can chnage the theme ;)
[16:14] <neattoast> Glaasje: yes?
[16:15] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: Yes, I would rather not view the changelog!  Where is that set?
[16:15] <Glaasje> I want a cookie...
[16:15] <Pici> !offtopic
[16:15] <Kruptein> ActionParsnip: I know #lazy :D I just installed my new ubuntu so am not into the fancy stuff yet :p
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: I'd have thought it would be an option in the postinstall...
[16:15] <hardy89> There's prblm with my WiFi !! Everytime I have to Unintall & reinstall driver for using Wifi. I m new to Ubuntu. Pls help !!!!!!!!
[16:15] <krababbel> son, you disappoint
[16:15] <neattoast> !patience > hardy89
[16:15] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: I've never seen it offered

[16:17] <neattoast> sorry
[16:18] <Jerry_> ActionParsnip: doesn't seem to be in the "Software Sources" dialog, Updates tab.  Not sure where else to look
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Jerry_: If you run updates in terminal, is it ok (close software centre first and let updates finish)
[16:20] <sanduz2> is there a way to get the unity launcher to refresh itself manually so new files will display?

[16:22] <twig11> kruptein, MonkeyDust, ActionParsnip, s1: I fixed the Terminal shortcut in Keyboard settings. Hate to waste your time when I should have thought of that myself. I had this mental block about all my little problems coming from some huge thing I might have messed up by skipping releases on the upgrade. Didn't even think about the obvious. I still don't see why that shortcut should get deleted but I guess that's the imperfect world of software. Anyway I think I'm
[16:22] <twig11>  set up for now, thanks to all of you.
[16:23] <sanduz2> Anyone know how to refresh Unity so that it sees new files in the launcher? Or how long it's set to refresh itself by default?
[16:23] <Kruptein> twig11: your problem is fixed so we should be happy :)
[16:23] <neattoast> sanduz2: in the command line: unity --replace

[16:30] <fg> Hi again :)

[16:31] <neattoast> rootnoobtux: You should run the normal google chrome, it has pepper flash. google.com/chrome.
[16:31] <PerfectGlitch> How can I copy windows files onto my USB using Ubuntu? I have everything up & running.. Thanks! - Josh
[16:31] <neattoast> PerfectGlitch: Just like you would copy a normal file??
[16:31] <rootnoobtux> so i need to install the google chrome? not this chromium?
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> rootnoobtux: Chromium is sweet
[16:32] <PerfectGlitch> When I right click and copy, no matter wher eI go Paste is unlit
[16:32] <neattoast> rootnoobtux: normal google chrome has slight differences.
[16:32] <Simkin> chromium is a cool game
[16:32] <fg> Kruptein: Hi again
[16:32] <rootnoobtux> ActionParsnip, yup i think so too
[16:32] <rootnoobtux> how can i get that normal google chrome then neattoast ?
[16:32] <neattoast> PerfectGlitch: Can't help you there. Could be a formatting issue.
[16:32] <therealsnowsnake> PerfectGlitch: Install Unetbootin and use that to copy over the files

[16:32] <s1> Hey fg , WB.
[16:33] <Kruptein> fg hi
[16:33] <rootnoobtux> in my software sources do i need to check the Unsupported updates (lucid-backports) ?
[16:33] <neattoast> rootnoobtux: I doubt it.
[16:33] <PerfectGlitch> snowflake: I did that, and installed it onto a USB drive, ubuntu 12.04. Everything is up and running, but its almost like that ability is unavailable. Would I be able to FTP from within Ubuntu if I created an FTP on my network?
[16:34] <quick-> ActionParsnip:  i tried but removing it but it my sys still tries to connect (and now its not there ) so i m not able to connect to internet . the browsers work properly but the apt-get and other system commands take that proxy server
[16:34] <Kruptein> k later guys need to go
[16:35] <Connector> How do I access terminal profiles in 12.04? Right clicking on the top doesn't work anymore
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> quick-: check in apt.conf    not sure where is is so you need the locate command
[16:35] <fg> s1: Kruptein: I get this error message. It is copied from syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/962688/
[16:36] <PerfectGlitch> therealsnowsnake: Any other options?
[16:36] <rootnoobtux> what is this Scanmen and Conqueror? how can i uninstall it? or should i keep it? hmmm thanx
[16:37] <neattoast> rootnoobtux: Scanmen I don't know, Conqueror is a browser. You can uninstall it with (sudo) apt-get remove conqueror
[16:37] <i7c> rootnoobtux: these are tools to change values of vars in the ram of running processes
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> rootnoobtux: if you mean konqueror, it is a file browser i nKDE
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> *in KDE
[16:38] <i7c> rootnoobtux: if you have no idea what that means you can uninstall in console by typing: sudo apt-get remove conqueror scanmem
[16:38] <rootnoobtux> it says GameConqueror
[16:38] <i7c> rootnoobtux: see what i wrote, or: http://packages.ubunut.com/search?suite=oneiric&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=scanmem

[16:43] <ghabit> lion42, I have TV with wifi and dlna client. I want to run dlna server on my pc and look tv without wire.
[16:43] <lion42> ghabit, yes, skifta then.
[16:43] <mado> hello ... i probably haven't found the right "how to" yet ... i was looking for a way to save my emails and move them to Mozilla Thunderbird
[16:43] <ghabit> lion42, thank you!
[16:43] <lion42> No problem.
[16:43] <mado> or maybe you know another nice free email-program that runs on Ubuntu Linux and MS Windows?
[16:43] <neattoast> mado: thunderbird
[16:44] <s1> echo083: have you tryied Ekiga !
[16:44] <echo083> s1, hummm not yet let's try it :)
[16:44] <fifthecho> ghabit: You could also try XBMC.
[16:44] <mado> neattoast, so you say i should stick with my decision of Thunderbird?
[16:44] <mado> can you help me then moving my emails from Evolution to Thunderbird neattoast ?
[16:44] <wilee-nilee> mado, description is way to big
[16:45] <neattoast> mado: I personally would just use gmail :), but sure why not!
[16:45] <wilee-nilee> vague that is
[16:45] <quick-> ActionParsnip: ya its there thanks , i ll try connecting now :)
[16:45] <mado> wilee-nilee, pardon me?
[16:45] <neattoast> mado: try exporting from evolution, and importing into thunderbird.
[16:45] <neattoast> or gmail :)
[16:45] <mado> exporting doesn't work :)
[16:45] <majoo> is ctrl+alt+f1 safe
[16:45] <wilee-nilee> mado, your question is rather vague from where are you saving to begin with.
[16:46] <neattoast> mado: hm....
[16:46] <mado> ok ... one sec then :)
[16:46] <rootnoobtux> and one last thing
[16:46] <ghabit> lion42, cannot find package skifta for ubuntu
[16:46] <s1> echo083: i haven't had a luck with Ekiga , there is also  jitsi .
[16:46] <ghabit> fifthecho, looks like xbmc is player, not dlna server?
[16:46] <lion42> ghabit, I'm not sure if it is listed in the software center. You can find it at http://www.skifta.com/download
[16:46] <rootnoobtux> if i go to tty mode how can i go back to desktop mode?
[16:46] <s1> fg: which release are you trying to install ..
[16:47] <fifthecho> ghabit: It's been a while since I played with it, but IIRC XBMC is both.
[16:47] <echo083> s1, jitsi works fine but i don't like the interface ... i know i'm hard to be satisfied :(
[16:47] <lion42> That is just what I use, ghabit. I cannot recommend it any more than any other software available to you, but it worked for me.
[16:48] <s1> echo083: I see , i haven't try any of 'em yet .. see how Ekiga looks for you :)
[16:48] <fg> s1: Thanks. It is 12.04 and boot from  cool disk.
[16:49] <echo083> s1, ekiga crashed let's try another one
[16:49] <MindSpark> hi. does anyone know if there's adware on chrome for linux?
[16:50] <s1> fg: I assume you check the iso md5 hash ..
[16:50] <UICTamale> MindSpark: the paranoid can always install chromium instead of chrome
[16:50] <theadmin> MindSpark: lolwat. Of course not.
[16:50] <UICTamale> to get the open-source version
[16:50] <UICTamale> theadmin: technically, the tracking google does when you run chrome is very similar to adware.
[16:50] <fifthecho> Okay…it doesn't look like I'm oblivious. Does anyone know where mkpasswd is hidden in 12.04?
[16:50] <rootnoobtux> now i got this same problem i click x button on skype and it closed but when i open it again by clicking the app icon it asked me to login again but yet my previous skype was still running how can i open it back?
[16:51] <s1> echo083: any error messages to why it crached .. there is also linphone .
[16:51] <theadmin> UICTamale: That's not "adware", that'd be "spyware", and you can disable sending stats (it's disabled by default in modern releases anyway)
[16:51] <fg> s1: I checked it. it is correct.
[16:51] <chouhan> There's prblm with my WiFi !! Everytime I have to Unintall & reinstall driver for using Wifi.
[16:51] <echo083> s1, qutecom linphone and ekiga are the last remaining i came here to avoid to test them all :(
[16:51] <MindSpark> UICTamale, yes, but I am wondering if there's a way to remove the thing now
[16:51] <UICTamale> remove chrome?
[16:52] <wilee-nilee> http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php
[16:52] <s1> echo083: to bad , those are all i know.
[16:52] <wilee-nilee> no tracking^^^^

[16:57] <lion42> teratoma, no. AFAIK, with the most recent CD you will still need to use the alternate installer to do the whole-disk encrypted LVM. You can encrypt your home drive using the regular installer, however.
[16:57] <fg> s1: But it is ubiquity bug. isn't it?
[16:57] <teratoma> congrats on most annoying irc nick ever

[16:59] <wilee-nilee> |||||||||||||, try synapse it is much nicer I believe

[17:20] <s1> fg: good thinking of you :)
[17:20] <fg> s1: Thanks a lot for your help and your attention and your  try :)

[17:23] <newtoarch> Where can I add "options k10temp force=1" in modprobe.d directory?
[17:23] <garou> Help. Hi. How can I run my own scripts on kate 3.8.2? Looks like the old plugin "External tools" isn't available anymore.
[17:24] <ssta> JMS32: you should be able to do something like: sudo iwlist wlan0; sudo iwconfig wlan0 modu <something from the list that you like the look of>
[17:24] <garou> I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[17:24] <ssta> JMS32: umm, sudo iwlist modulation

[17:25] <fg> s1: Sorry for my broken English. Thanks apain.
[17:26] <sae> wilee-nilee: thanks for the hint, but that didn't help. When I issue the command should I see some form of feedback?
[17:26] <oCean> newtoarch: since your nick implies you may be using Arch, are you using Ubuntu?

[17:28] <sae> wilee-nilee: I did the following: ctrl+alt+t and the unity --reset (using 2 dashes "-") and that worked. Should it have worked just with 1 "-"
[17:29] <wilee-nilee> sae, yeah probably glad it is working. :)
[17:29] <Angtagapagligt> what music player does 12.04 use out of the box?
[17:29] <Sidewinder> xrogplx, The exact error messages (if you have them), can be invaluable, too. :)
[17:29] <sae> tizza10: thank you for the hint. I usually do it like that, but since it showed up in the starter I thought I go for it

[17:31] <Mister2> thanks zolin_mx
[17:31] <nintet> does anyone emulate other systems on ubuntu?
[17:31] <wilee-nilee> sae, I'm still a look at the keyboard typer lol.
[17:31] <ssta> nintet: "emulate"?  I run many VMs
[17:31] <nintet> does sound work in your VMs?
[17:31] <Sidewinder> xrogplx, I an by far, not an expert on wireless, sorry, but I'm sure someone can assist if you provide enough info. :-)
[17:31] <ssta> nintet: yes
[17:31] <nintet> because in Cent6 it does not
[17:31] <Sidewinder> am, even
[17:31] <JMS32> ssta: sudo iwconfig wlan0 modu 11g: SET failed on device wlan0; Operation not supported...
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> nintet: ther are sweet NES and MSX emulators here :)
[17:31] <nintet> it is not allowed to by SELinux Permissions
[17:31] <sae> wilee-nilee: :D
[17:32] <nintet> does ubuntu 12 use SELinux?
[17:32] <Mister2> any known issues with 12.04 and dell's mini 10?
[17:32] <ssta> JMS32: sounds like your card doesn't support setting it that way then.  Maybe there's another way, but I don't know how
[17:32] <Guest8178>  does ubuntu come with a checksum utility
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> nintet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux
[17:32] <zolin_mx> Where can I report a freeze on 12.04?
[17:32] <xrogplx> @<Sidewinder> i hope so :(
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Guest8178: yes, it comes with the md5sum command
[17:33] <zolin_mx> I was using Unity and my ubuntu hanged
[17:33] <zolin_mx> I had to reboot
[17:33] <nintet> so SELinux is not installed by defualt in Ubuntu?
[17:33] <wilee-nilee> nintet, not sure the exact definition of an emulator or yours that is but virtualbox runs in centos 6
[17:33] <Guest8178> ActionParsnip, only cli
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> nintet: no it's optional
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Guest8178: md5sum is CLI....
[17:33] <nintet> well the reason i would want to use an emulator is for sound software
[17:34] <nintet> so you can see the problem
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> nintet: there are lots of native sound apps for Ubuntu
[17:34] <s1> JMS32: do you get any output from iwlist wlan0 event ..
[17:34] <sae> nintet: which system are you trying to emulate?
[17:34] <nintet> HaiKu
[17:34] <nintet> Windows
[17:35] <Kruptein> hmz my external monitor doesn't show up when I go to system settings>screens,  I have to enable it everytime trough nvidia settings
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> nintet: http://virtualboxes.org/images/haiku/   run it in virtualbox instead :)
[17:36] <nintet> so basically, you are saying that if i install windows in virtualbox, i will have sound?
[17:36] <JMS32> s1: yep. Set channel, set mode, new AP, Set ESSID, Set encoding, scan request completed
[17:36] <ssta> nintet: I always have had
[17:36] <nintet> k thanks.

[17:36] <Kruptein> wait isn't 64bit pae by default?
[17:37] <sae> ninet: be aware of latency issues in virtualized systems
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> nintet: if the host has sound then it will be used by the guest, if you haven't made your Ubuntu OS have sound yet you will not have any sound in Windows
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: it doesn't need it, it  has 64bit address registers
[17:37] <LjL> Kruptein: uh, why does 64bit *need* PAE?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: maximum ram for 64bit is 4Eb
[17:37] <sae> ninet: you might want to check out Ubuntu Studio
[17:37] <TboatBKK> hey all, am having trouble getting my server to pickup with my DynDNS, anyone have some time to help me out?
[17:38] <Kruptein> ActionParsnip: ok fine lol I just read "the 32bit version comes with pae by default" so I was confused
[17:38] <Kruptein> ActionParsnip: only 4 eb D: damn
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Kruptein: yes, as 32bit is 'advised', you may find users have more RAM, this needs accommodating
[17:38] <Kruptein> LjL nvm was being stupid for a moment :p
[17:39] <ssta> Kruptein: wait until 128 bit...it will be impossible to run out of address space
[17:39] <Kruptein> 128bit is too mainstream 16bit is the shit
[17:39]  * alankila wonders if 2^128 bits of memory would fill all known universe
[17:39] <ssta> alankila: and then some...

[17:45] <TboatBKK> is there a server/network specific ubuntu irc?
[17:45] <zparta> if i get a NO_PUBKEY when i try to add a new source.list is there any way to get the pubkey? or make it skip it
[17:46] <jrib> zparta: you're adding a ppa?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot: lubuntu
[17:46] <zparta> ppa? i am adding ulteo's lucid repo to my precise install :P
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> zparta: that won't work
[17:47] <zparta> gonna try if their binary works ^^
[17:47] <Shogoot> lubuntu is a distro isint it? or is lubuntu a desktop?
[17:47] <jrib> zparta: don't mix repositories for different versions of ubuntu...
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot: there is lubuntu-desktop   it will pull in the default lubuntu settings to your OS
[17:47] <ThePendulum> Shogoot: There's Lxde and Xfce. You may install those by installing Lubuntu or Xubuntu so you don't have to do all the integration yourself
[17:47] <garou> !Help. Hi. How can I run my own scripts on kate 3.8.2? Looks like the old plugin "External tools" isn't available anymore.
[17:47] <lion42> Shogoot, it is ubuntu with the LXDE desktop environment. It is good if you have an older computer.
[17:47] <lion42> (I was just redundant. Forgive me, internet.)
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> lion42: or want something rock solid :)
[17:48] <ssta> or want to use your CPU for actual work rather than eye candy :)
[17:48] <qEssence> Anyone knows how to force xrdp ro use gnome-shell? If i enter from windows to ubuntu, automatically logs into Unity Without asking what WM to use.

[17:49] <L3tops> garou: kate isn't even bundled with ubuntu is it? It's gedit... iirc... why dont you check in #kubuntu   they might have a better idea
[17:49] <flow> hi, i have a little problem with gedit , i added teh terminal at the buttom but now the font color in the terminal is white so its hard to read on the gray background, does anyone know  how to change the font color or the background of the terminal?
[17:49] <Shogoot> ActionParsnip, lion42. i got ubuntu on my machine, i just dont want to mess up the partitions and such changing the distro, but i want a less flashy desktop. For me its visual noise. Ill see if i can make my ubuntu downgrade the desktop to lubuntu :)
[17:49] <xrogplx> @<sl> no its only one os
[17:49] <qEssence> Or Anyone can recommend an Remote desktop server wich allows me to select the WM?
[17:49] <ThePendulum> ssta: I hear the 'eyecandy' argument a lot. I'm telling you, my personal performance goes downhill if a DE looks remarkably unattractive
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot: its not a new distro, you are just installing an additional desktop
[17:49] <L3tops> flow: edit/preferences colors and fonts are all changable.
[17:49] <s1> xrogplx: okay .
[17:50] <lion42> Shogoot, I don't know about the new version of ubuntu, but with the old one you could just add LXDE by searching for it in the software center.
[17:50] <Shogoot> ActionParsnip, gotcha
[17:50] <lion42> (under lubuntu I believe)
[17:50] <ssta> ThePendulum: fair enough.  Mine goes down when I'm distracted by bling ... different strokes
[17:50] <garou> L3tops: I will try there ^^. Thx.
[17:51] <ThePendulum> Shogoot, ActionParsnip: Installing Xubuntu (Xfce) or Lubuntu (Lxde) will solve a few issues that will occur when installing Xfce or Lxde directly. You don't need to mess with partitions, their installers will take care of that just like the Ubuntu installer (which is basically the same one besides the slides).
[17:51] <tensorpudding> qEssence, try logging in using xdmcp
[17:51] <ssta> ThePendulum: and it's a matter of debate what constitutes "attractive" :)
[17:51] <ThePendulum> ssta: Same here, but I find Ubuntu 12.04 (with Unity) fairly minimalistic and not as 'bling bling' as KDE is by default, or Windows

[17:52] <tensorpudding> no?
[17:52] <DebolazST> Unity is horribly ugly to look at by default, and changing theme and stuff like that barely improves it. But I still love it because it's so functional. :)

[17:52] <ignacio> algien habla español?

[17:53] <Gup> anyone familiar with this strange output for ifconfig? (huge numbers on eth0) http://pastebin.com/hbtBZMTC
[17:54] <scott_ino> ActionParsnip, k thanks I'll see if i can track it down first, using Gnome3
[17:54] <nvz> would anyone happen to know of a program that can work from console like alsamixer that can do what the sound prefs does and change volume of individual apps?
[17:54] <TboatBKK> can anyone help in setting up my 12.04 server to port forward to my dns?
 those commands doesn't work :(
[17:54] <tensorpudding> those things are amazingly out-of-date
[17:54] <ThePendulum> Shogoot: Lxde is as minimal as you can get, but Xfce can look a bit better (or so they say, including me) while still being damned small
[17:54] <scott_ino> ActionParsnip, seems application oriented though on first glance
[17:54] <Shogoot> lion42,  Im just a bit confused... a windowmanager != desktop, right?
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> scott_ino: yes, Gnome3 using Unity2D
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: did the file get made ok?
[17:54] <tensorpudding> i can't remember how you setup xdmcp on ubuntu though
[17:54] <JMS32> i can't connect to any WiFi'es...
[17:54] <lion42> Shogoot, uh, someone other than me can answer that better. ActionParsnip to the rescue?
[17:54] <JMS32> :(
[17:54] <xrogplx> sorry i didn't get any file :(
[17:55] <JMS32> I saw a lot of networks, but can't connect to them.. What to do?
[17:55] <Dr_willis> tensorpudding,  normally enable it in the *dm configs - but i recall that gdm in the 11.x release did not have the feature. not sure about lightdm
[17:55] <ThePendulum> Shogoot: The window manager usually is part of the desktop enviroment, afaik
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: so if you run:  file /etc/modprobe.d/disable-iwlwifi-n.conf      it says it's missing?
[17:56] <tensorpudding> i know that xdmcp is still supported in debian, since that's what i'm using as my server
[17:56] <Guest8178> I need a check sum utility for ubuntu something with a front end
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: what is the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list     use a pastebin to host
[17:56] <tensorpudding> i'd be most disappointed if they removed that functionality from gdm 3
[17:56] <Dr_willis> tensorpudding,  its still a feature of X. but the gdm3 i recall did not have the feature.
[17:56] <tensorpudding> what about lightdm
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: what do you need to do on the remote system?
[17:56] <Dr_willis> tensorpudding,  or for some reason i twas turned off.
[17:56] <Dr_willis> tensorpudding,  i have no idea on lightdm
[17:56] <tensorpudding> i'm asking on qEssence's behalf
[17:56] <Shogoot> Im so ready to strippubuntu down. Im gonnatry it when i get homw
 (No such file or directory)
[17:57] <Dr_willis> tensorpudding,  not sure about the new gnome-shell's version of gdm either
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: then the file wasn't made. Try:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/disable-iwlwifi-n.conf       and add the line:   options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1      save the new file, close gedit and reboot
[17:57] <qEssence> tensorpudding: you got more attention in five minutes than I in the whole day :P
[17:58] <tensorpudding> i totally don't use it very often though, it's more convenient to do administration on the shell
[17:58] <Shogoot> I wonder what community is the most active. XFce or Lxde?
[17:58] <Dr_willis> i really dont need xdmcp these days - i just use ssh/x forwarding
[17:58] <L3tops> flow: ahh... you are probably opening it with gksudo (or should be anyway instead of sudo)... so your root profile is different than your user profile... should be able to make the same changes in the one  you open from termina (again, use gksudo).
[17:58] <qEssence> Im trying to login from Windows to Ubuntu remote desktop, i can do it with xrdp, but, this logins me automatically into Unity WM, and i need to use gnome-shell.
[17:58] <tensorpudding> http://askubuntu.com/questions/66431/how-do-i-configure-lightdm-to-work-with-xdmcp
[17:58] <tensorpudding> there
[17:58] <tensorpudding> it's possible with lightdm apparently
[17:59] <Dr_willis> qEssence,  did you try changeing your .dmrc file?
[17:59] <flow> hi, i have a little problem with gedit , i added teh terminal at the buttom but now the font color in the terminal is white so its hard to read on the gray background, does anyone know  how to change that? i've already tried edit preferences colors and fonts it only changes the editor but not the terminal at the bottom
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: what do you want to do on the remote system once connected?
[17:59] <qEssence> Dr_willis: I changed it from "ubuntu" to "gnome" Whit no luck.
[17:59] <zamba> i have a problem with my ubuntu server.. the / is mounted write protected and i'm not able to write anything to it
[17:59] <zamba> # mount -o remount /
[17:59] <ssta> qEssence: what starts is defined by the startwm.sh script in /etc/xrdp.  By default I think it just calls the standard system Xsession.  You can configure it to whatever you want though
[17:59] <L3tops> flow if you want to change the colors of the terminal, you can do so as well.
[17:59] <zamba> mount: cannot remount block device /dev/md0 read-write, is write-protected
[17:59] <zamba> what do i do?
[17:59] <Dr_willis> qEssence,  i also recall a tweak at the webupd8 site or askubuntu.com about changeing the default desktop system wide (for everyone) to gnome
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> zamba: boot to live CD and fsck the partition is a good move
[18:00] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: Im trying to get a Remote Desktop in ubuntu, from Win7
[18:00] <Jonah79_> Unity is a fine desktop
[18:00] <L3tops> ActionParsnip: can he fsck a raid?
[18:00] <zamba> ActionParsnip: well, it's a remote system, so it's not something i can do for the moment
[18:00] <Jonah79_> I'm really used to it now :)
[18:00] <Dr_willis> qEssence,  on a local lan? or over the internet?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: yes, but to then do what on the remote system?
[18:00] <flow> then im doing something wrong it doesnt work
[18:00] <ssta> Jonah79_: wfm isn't the only way :)
[18:00] <JMS32> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/k5Vd0vsR
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> L3tops: not sure
[18:00] <agentgasmask> Trying to use a bluetooth headset with xubuntu 12.04. Device pairs and connects correctly. However, there are no settings for it in pavucontrol. Any hints?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> zamba: smarthands request then :)
 when i restart my pc it say you are offline .
[18:00] <Jonah79_> So many great desktops for ~Linux now
[18:01] <xrogplx> network disconect
[18:01] <flow> and how do i use gksudo?
[18:01] <zamba> ActionParsnip: huh?
[18:01] <flow> never heard before
[18:01] <qEssence> ActionParsnip:  Its Just a matter of preferences, i can do the same on unity. We just prefer gnome-shell for doing it.
[18:01] <Dr_willis> flow,  gksudo progrmname
[18:01] <L3tops> flow: gksudo gedit file
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see networks?
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> Jonah79_, you might try #ubuntu-oftopic for comments. :)
[18:01] <flow> hmm ok
[18:01] <qEssence> ssta: I've readed some info regarding that, but could not find a way to change it. Do you know where can i find some docs?
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:01] <Jonah79_> thanks wilee-nilee
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: you aren't answering the question. Lets say you get connected. What are you going to do on the remote system exactly?
[18:02] <L3tops> !gksudo | flow
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> Jonah79_, no problem that is a interesting place lol.
[18:02] <ssta> qEssence: not that I know of, there might be some somewhere though, ask google
[18:02] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: Im sorry. Just act like im in front of the physical terminal.
[18:02] <qEssence> ssta: Thanks. Itryed, no luck at all.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: yes but to do waht? updates?
 when i sudo iwlist scan i get : wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : network is down
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: do you dual boot the system?
[18:03] <savr> ubuntu has been running my fans on full blast
[18:03] <savr> cpu load is very low
 Nope it's only One OS = Ubuntu 12.04 in my pc (previously i use 11.10 )
[18:03] <savr> and core temps are all below 40c
[18:03] <JMS32> ActionParsnip: yes... I saw one... But it looks strange. Ubuntu applet can see a lot of networks
[18:03] <flow> hmm but the terminal in the buttomline of gedit is still grey with white fonts^^
[18:03] <qEssence> ActionParsnip:  Erhm.. no, maybe im wrong with something, Just tryng to get Ubuntu acts like a Virtual remote server for some user sessions.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: do you have a shortcut key to enable / disable wifi?
[18:04] <savr> I can't run fancontrold for some reason on this laptop
[18:04] <savr> how do I make the fans to shut up
[18:04] <L3tops> flow: again, change it there, and when you close it, it should retain the changes for next session
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: but why do they need the full desktop? What are you doing on the desktop exactly?
[18:04] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, maybe the problem is that english its not my native, so i cant completly understand you.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> savr: what make and model system?
 Yes i do have shortcut key and i checked that also
[18:05] <zamba> ActionParsnip: what's smarthands?
[18:05] <flow> ah ,ok now i get it ^^ ,ok im trying it
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: you get connected successfully (imagine), now what do you need to do on the system?
[18:05] <savr> ActionParsnip, dell laptitude 5450
[18:05] <zamba> well, i'm running fsck on a mounted file system now.. no worries so far :)
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> zamba: where you get an engineer to do a remote task for you, worked too long in data centres here ;)
[18:05] <JMS32> ActionParsnip: heh. no. no networks now in iwlist scan
[18:05] <wylde> JMS32: just curious, do any of the networks/access points you've tried to connect to belong to you?
[18:05] <Gup> any idea on wifi/networking problems started after kernel update shown here: http://pastebin.com/698GSFEN
[18:05] <flow> still the same -.-
[18:05] <savr> sorry ActionParsnip
 previously in my lenovo ubuntu 11.10 i use : sudo service network-manager stop  sudo rmmod acer_wmi sudo modprobe acer_wmi
[18:06] <JMS32> wylde: yes, of course
[18:06] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: The goal is to have A monitor on Windows7  with a session oppened into the ubuntu machine, with remote desktop, so i can do whatever i can ( Except killing X and such) From Windows 7, using the remote desktop.
[18:06] <zamba> ActionParsnip: well, there's no engineer available.. just 50+ year old non-tech savvy lusers :)
 sudo rfkill unblock all
[18:06] <savr> ActionParsnip, latitude e5400
[18:06] <wylde> JMS32: alrighty, just asking :)
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: yes but why do you want to see the remote desktop, what are you going to do on the remote system?
[18:06] <flow> the editor color changes but not the color or font color of the terminal plugin
 then my wifi worked but not now in 12.04
[18:06] <JMS32> wylde: 2 networks is mine) I'm using one to write this mm essages from notebook)
[18:06] <xrogplx> :(
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: did you clean install Precise or did you upgrade from Oneiric?
[18:07] <savr> ActionParsnip, sorry its not that one second...
[18:07] <goddard> can I make a visual directory diagram including permissions?
 upgrade from 11.10 Oneiric to 12.04
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> xrogplx: tried Precise liveCD to see if it works there?
[18:08] <savr> ActionParsnip, it is the Dell Latitude E5420 and I have confirmed it
[18:08] <L3tops> flow, I am not exactly sure what you are saying... this works on my end. Can you take a screenshot please?
[18:08] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: Argh :P  Imagine you are working as usual infront of your ubuntu machine. Well, my goal is to achieve the same, but in a fullscreen remote desktop in Win7. Doing whatever i need to, from edit files, compile, or surf the web xD
[18:08] <JMS32> ActionParsnip: what to do? :((
 i think i have to put this in download :( ok thanks , do you have email id so i  may contact you later?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: fine but what apps will you run?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: you can setup a file share on the system via samba or even sftp and access the files. You can compile via SSH in terminal
[18:09] <qEssence> ActionParsnip: Everything, except 3D rendering.
[18:10] <Dr_willis> qEssence,  local lan? or over the internet?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> qEssence: you can launch the browser in the SSH session with X forwarding (install and run xming in Windows) and the browser will run on the remote system but display on the Windows system
[18:10] <qEssence> Dr_willis: Local lan.
[18:10] <qEssence> Dr_willis: Ocasionally over inet, but just for minimal issues.
[18:11] <Dr_willis> qEssence,  freenx or vnc are alternatives to the windows desktop remote stuff.  ssh and xming are also worth learning about.
[18:11] <myhero> i m connecting epson 1050+ parallel port printer via parallel 2  usb cable....it recognizing and configuring the printer but when sending test page it doesnt prints it....whats wrong ?
[18:11] <zolin_mx> Where Can i report a hang on 12.04?
[18:11] <qEssence> Dr_willis: & ActionParsnip Thanks both, i'll give a look on the alternatives given.
[18:11] <Dr_willis> myhero,  check the cups logs?
[18:11] <wylde> zolin_mx: do you know what application caused the hang?
[18:12] <flow> ok ... but where does ubuntu saves the screenshot iv never made on on ubuntu before ^^
[18:12] <aombk> how do i disable booting in gui?
[18:12] <goddard> Use Kubuntu
 you can save at desktop
[18:12] <zolin_mx> wylde: no, i suspect on vmware but not sure
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> savr: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12231  check #28
[18:12] <flow> and how?
[18:12] <wylde> zolin_mx: you're loading ubuntu in a VM?
[18:12] <myhero> how to check the cups logs ?
[18:12] <aombk> i want to boot in command line, please someone
[18:13] <jrib> aombk: why?
[18:13] <flow> ah ok found it ^^
[18:13] <Raff> i was trying to put 2 monitors but now that i'm using just one, everything is duplicated in my bars
[18:13] <jrib> aombk: i.e. is there a specific reason?  Or do you just want to always boot without gdm starting?
[18:13] <zolin_mx> wylde: no, I have ubuntu on the physical machine and I have vmware installed to do windows work
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> savr: also check #62
[18:14] <zolin_mx> wylde: I suspect about it because I was on th VM when display freeze
[18:14] <savr> ActionParsnip, I don't have /proc/i8k
[18:14] <aombk> jrib, because my system crashes sometimes trying to enter the login screen
[18:14] <Raff> i tried to change the xorg.conf, but nothing change
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> myhero: check /var/log/cups
[18:14] <savr> ActionParsnip, I'm on the e5420
[18:14] <zolin_mx> wylde: then went to a tty (crtl-alt-f1) and it was still responsive
[18:14] <aombk> but i am not sure the login screen is gdm
[18:14] <OfficeITGuy149> Hey #ubuntu! I need a replacement for Google Desktop Search, now that it's discontinued. Can anyone recommend one?
[18:14] <jrib> aombk: sorry, I meant lightdm
[18:15] <jrib> aombk: so do you want to debug or you just want to boot to text mode all the time?
[18:15] <zolin_mx> wylde: but X was freeze
[18:15] <aombk> jrib yes, all the time
[18:15] <wylde> zolin_mx: ok hmmm.... ok. So x.org is crashing with vmare by the sound. I'm just trying to decide what package you should file the bug about.
[18:15] <jrib> !text | aombk
[18:15] <kesavan> hi
[18:15] <flow> http://www7.pic-upload.de/02.05.12/k3t6ja4qcrt5.png
[18:15] <zolin_mx> I think so
[18:15] <Raff> if someone want to look how is my screen it's on http://imageshack.us/f/27/20120501182905.png/
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> !bug 730373
[18:15] <savr> ActionParsnip, I'm installing i8k
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[18:16] <kesavan> I need some help regarding cd/my dvd drive
[18:16] <kesavan> my cd/dvd drive
[18:16] <wylde> zolin_mx: I suppose 'ubuntu-bug xorg' could file in close to the right place :)
[18:16] <aombk> jrib it doesnt work, i tried it and it still boots in gui
[18:16] <modern> has someone used or seen a linux html5 authoring tool
[18:16] <kesavan> I am new to this. not sure how to use this
[18:16] <JMS32> iwlist scan now saw networks...
[18:16] <jrib> aombk: what did you try exactly?
[18:16] <zolin_mx> wylde: Thanks I'll take a look there
[18:16] <savr> ActionParsnip, the fan is normal in windows
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> savr: its a different OS with different support
[18:17] <savr> ActionParsnip, its completely silent most the time
[18:17] <flow> http://www10.pic-upload.de/02.05.12/isgznhfucoe.png
[18:17] <savr> ActionParsnip, so it is not the problem in #62
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> savr: if it was silent i Mandriva or Suse, then it'd be of value
[18:17] <smith7> How do I make 12.04's font larger than "larger" in Universal Access? It's still not big enough for me.
[18:17] <JMS32> and in secont time - no results... It shows only first type
[18:17] <wylde> zolin_mx: just run 'ubuntu-bug xorg' in terminal that will collect info and start the bug filing process for you.
[18:17] <aombk> jrib , i edited /etc/default/grub, added text, and then update-grub2
[18:17] <JMS32> heh. nope
[18:18] <aombk> jrib is this procedure correct?
[18:18] <phillip> Can anyone help me use dual monitors on unbut 12.01? I can't seem to get it working in the control panel
[18:18] <jrib> aombk: and is "text" now in your kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg?  Yes procedure sounds correct
[18:18] <Q-FUNK> would anyone happen to know where exactly dpkg is configured to issue: configured to not write apport reports
[18:19] <kesavan> Can somebody help me to make my CD/DVD working..? :(

[18:19] <Tinti> kesavan: what is the problem?
[18:19] <phillip> Can anyone help me use dual monitors on unbut 12.01? I can't seem to get it working in the control panel
[18:19] <wylde> zolin_mx: alrighty, that's the best way to file bugs btw, since it collects logs and useful information to help triagers and developers get to fixing bugs more quickly :)
[18:19] <jrib> phillip: 12.04, there is no 12.01.  And please don't repeat so often
[18:20] <smith7> Used to be you could just increase the font size to any number you needed, now it stops at 'larger'. What should I do?
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:20] <phillip> 12.04 Then, I can't seem to get dual monitors working! :(
[18:20] <Raff> does anyone knows what i'm supposed to do ? take a look http://imageshack.us/f/27/20120501182905.png/
[18:20] <kesavan> After I have upgraded my OS to 11.10 onwards my CD/DVD drive is not working

[18:20] <Dr_willis> philip,  whats your video chipset?
[18:21] <aombk> jrib yes it is. is the kernel line the one that says : linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24... ?
[18:21] <zolin_mx> wylde: I was using Unity, now I'm using gnome :) I also have KDE installed in case gnome also hangs. I was looking for a way to report bugs, but I think i wasnt looking very well. Thanks For your help!
[18:21] <wylde> zolin_mx: np :)
[18:21] <Siimon> Hello, i can't mount my usb key... Not Authorized. Can you help me ?
[18:21] <phillip> Can anyone help me use dual monitors on unbut 12.01? I can't seem to get it working in the control panel
[18:21] <jrib> aombk: what ubuntu version is this?
[18:22] <Dr_willis> phillip,  whats your video chipset?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> philip: what video chip, what make and model system?Details!?
[18:22] <aombk> it this thing 12.04
[18:22] <jrib> aombk: yes, that's the right line by the way (note you have several of those lines though)
[18:22] <Xeneth> ....  I have not had any trouble with my server in years.  Now I think it just crashed.
[18:22] <goddard> Asganafer: dist upgrade would be bad as it would destroy all my program settings
[18:22] <jrib> aombk: and lightdm is what is starting?
[18:23] <phillip> Dr_willis im not sure how do I find out?
[18:23] <Tinti> kesavan: try to check the dmesg if you get any error. also check if your cd still /dev/sdb or /dev/cdrom it may change during updates
[18:23] <Dr_willis> philip,  check output of the lspci command
[18:23] <aombk> jrib, i dont know. how can i check what is starting? lightdm is installed, gdm is not
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> philip: run:  lsb_release -sc; lspci | grep -i vga     what is output?
[18:23] <jrib> aombk: use: ps -ef | grep lightdm
[18:23] <phillip> Dr_willis Integrated Intel® GMA HD
[18:24] <Dr_willis> phillip,  so this is a laptop?
[18:24] <aombk> yes, it return results.
[18:24] <phillip> Correct
[18:24] <aombk> jrib, can i uninstall lightdm?
[18:24] <jrib> aombk: I guess you could do that, yeah.  But adding "text" to the kernel line should be sufficient
[18:25] <Dr_willis> phillip,  for my intel based laptop - i had to use the special FN keys to enable the 2nd/external monitor.  then use that monitors tool to tweak the settings for it
[18:25] <aombk> i only plan on using xfce
[18:25] <delarge> hi there, recently i installed  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS but when i configure the internet connection (manual type) i can just see google and youtube, other webpage doesn't load. With the same configuration (subnet mask, ip, server dns) in Windows works fine
[18:25] <phillip> The control panel recognizes both displays but I get a stange error when I try to enable them both
[18:25] <kesavan> i am not getting any error when running dmesg
[18:25] <ac_slater> hey Guys. I'm wondering if there is a way to release a module that is in use (such as nvidia or nouveau).... I'm trying to script the installation of the Nvidia dev driver... and it's hard since the driver script fails when unloading nouveau
