[00:00] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234: NeedInterwebz_ found something!  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134580
[00:00] <filo1234> IntuitiveNipple: or wpa-supplicant by command line...but it need a bit of work ( for wifi )
[00:01] <filo1234> IntuitiveNipple: oh ok sorry I understand your sentence now :D
[00:01] <NeedInterwebz_> I just ran that command :p didn't do anything lol
[00:01] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_:  "lspci -nn | grep-i net" and tell us the WiFi adapter details if it is there
[00:02] <imbezol> nrdb: ya.. it does work :)
[00:02] <NeedInterwebz_> network controller: Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
[00:02] <imbezol> nrdb: as it's supposed to, i mean :)
[00:02] <NeedInterwebz_> ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Netlink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
[00:02] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: tell me the PCI ID from the last set of square brackets
[00:02] <j0hnsm1th> Hi, I installed eclipseIDE on ubuntu12.04, after installing oracles latest jdk6 eclipse broke and the only way i can get eclipse working is by reverting back to openjdk, anyone know howto get eclipse working with oraclejdk6?
[00:02] <guestthor> Are there any good slideshow programs for ubuntu?
[00:03] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: e.g. [8086:1234]
[00:03] <NeedInterwebz_> [8086:4235]
[00:03] <nrdb> imbezol, could you "cd" back into the protected dir?
[00:03] <scenic> anyone used wirecast before?
[00:03] <xangua> guestthor: libreoffice impress
[00:03] <imbezol> nrdb: nope, you shouldn't be able to
[00:03] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: thanks... hold on
[00:03] <bkerensa> j0hnsm1th: no but you could try askubuntu.com
[00:03] <imbezol> nrdb: it should say permission denied
[00:03] <NeedInterwebz_> no problem
[00:03] <NeedInterwebz_> thank you :P
[00:03] <scenic> i can't select the correct audio source i always get audio from my fw input card as well
[00:03] <alazyworkaholic> Anyone here understand USB in-depth? Every time I wake my computer from suspend, the mouse/keyboard take a few minutes to start working. I get a lot of errors in log files & it happens with various mice. I'd like some help identifying what's gone wrong.
[00:03] <imbezol> nrdb: and if you were already in there i think you'll sometimes get an inode error or something of the sort
[00:03] <nrdb> imbezol, I logged out, and logged back in and it still allowed me to do the same.
[00:04] <imbezol> nrdb: can you give some specifics? like use a pastebin to show the permissions, usernames, etc?
[00:04] <ichbinder> hello again. I have a number of PDFs that I've merged with pdftk. One of them is unfortunately not in A4 portrait format but in A5 landscape. Is there an easy way to embed this PDF in an A4 portrait PDF or so?
[00:04] <imbezol> nrdb: because if you can, something isn't set right
[00:05] <burububburu> melodie: found that! So easy, just get official VLC PPA and get from there latest version! :D
[00:05] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: this might be relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/420678
[00:05] <melodie> burububburu, right
[00:06] <filo1234> oh NeedInterwebz_  from another pc, can you ping that damn pc?
[00:06] <melodie> then you can read videos having webm as forat
[00:06] <melodie> format
[00:06] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: except that the report states it only affects 5GHz (802.11a)
[00:06] <NeedInterwebz_> No I can't
[00:06] <NeedInterwebz_> well it's weird
[00:06]  * filo1234 giv up
[00:07] <NeedInterwebz_> It says Destination Host Unreachable but then says 0 were lost and 4 were received
[00:07] <NeedInterwebz_> does that mean they sent and just didn't get the ICMP response?
[00:07] <NeedInterwebz_> for obvious reasons
[00:07] <nrdb> imbezol, opps!  my mistake... sorry.
[00:07] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: that is weird :s
[00:08] <NeedInterwebz_> this whole thing is just unreal
[00:08] <NeedInterwebz_> I may just fresh install the partition
[00:08] <NeedInterwebz_> it could probably use it anyways
[00:08] <tomasm-> anyone here familiar with bluetooth can help me get this figured out? I'm wanting to download pics from my cell phone onto my laptop. under system prefs, bluetooth is ON, visibility is ON, and the phone shows up in the list of devices. it says PAIRED Yes, but CONNECTION only shows OFF and is disabled - i cant click/slide to enable it. any idea how I can get this enabled?
[00:09] <NeedInterwebz_> I had to do some significant gtk package repairing from the 12.04 install screwing it up
[00:09] <burububburu> melodie: this->https://launchpad.net/vlc/ or this->ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa ?
[00:10] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: That bug report I referenced is the one you have ... it matches precisely. Apparently it's a 802.11g versus n issue, but no resolution but blaming the iwlagn drivers... I wonder, have you applied a kernel update recently? Have you tried booting a previsous kernel?
[00:10] <guestthor> Does anyong have a link to a set of intructions for installing wine on 12.04?
[00:10] <xangua> guestthor: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:10] <alazyworkaholic> guestthor: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:10] <NeedInterwebz_> I applied the kernel update with the 12.04 upgrade a couple of days ago
[00:10] <melodie> burububburu, I look
[00:10] <filo1234> IntuitiveNipple: wich bug reports?
[00:11] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234:  this might be relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/420678
[00:11] <NeedInterwebz_> and perhaps that router didn't introduce a g versus n conflict but this one does...?
[00:11] <nrdb> imbezol, thanks that does seem to be doing what I want.
[00:11] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234: The title is misleading... it turns out its 2.4GHx g vs n
[00:11] <melodie> burububburu, you can get 1.1.3, it's a good version
[00:11] <imbezol> nrdb: np
[00:12] <filo1234> IntuitiveNipple: uhmm karmic
[00:12] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234: originally... but runs to relatively recent versions
[00:12] <burububburu> melodie: I prefer the latest... Why 1.1.3 instead of 2.0.1? ;) Which of the two links should I use?
[00:12] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234: thing is, it matches the symptoms
[00:13] <IntuitiveNipple> filo1234: NeedInterwebz_ "A dhcp lease is aquired, but no further data transmission is possible."
[00:13] <melodie> burububburu, 1.1.3 works perfect for all my versions here.
[00:13] <NeedInterwebz_> Yeah, but why would it unearth now and work before...?
[00:13] <NeedInterwebz_> X_X
[00:13] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: You want me to work miracles!?! :D
[00:14] <NeedInterwebz_> haha I mean preferably yes
[00:14]  * IntuitiveNipple peers into his Oracle^hSun^hGroklaw
[00:14] <burububburu> melodie: ok. I can't find the ppa from here---> https://launchpad.net/videolan O.o ? ?
[00:14] <melodie> burububburu, you probably don't need the very latest
[00:15]  * NeedInterwebz_ wonders what nipple sees
[00:16] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Does this show anything unusual? dmesg | grep iwlagn
[00:16] <NeedInterwebz_> nope, doesn't show anything
[00:16] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Do you have earlier kernels you can boot into?
[00:17] <NeedInterwebz_> Hmm whenever ubuntu upgraded it took away the kernel boot page after grub
[00:17] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: As the PC boots hold down shift key then the GRUB boot menu will appear and you can choose "Previous Versions"
[00:18] <melodie> burububburu, you can use the lines at vlc website:
[00:18] <melodie> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[00:18] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: press it as soon as BIOS is done POSTing
[00:18] <NeedInterwebz_> okay hold on
[00:18] <NeedInterwebz_> when?
[00:18] <melodie> burububburu,
[00:18] <NeedInterwebz_> what
[00:18] <burububburu> melodie: ok, you mean this---> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
[00:18] <melodie> At your OWN risks, install VLC from PPA:
[00:18] <burububburu> melodie: yup!
[00:18] <melodie> % sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
[00:18] <melodie> % sudo apt-get update
[00:18] <burububburu> melodie: ty!
[00:19] <melodie> % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
[00:19] <melodie> you will have vlc 1.1.3 which is enough for all actual video formats.
[00:19] <melodie> and not overly bloated. ::)
[00:20] <burububburu> melodie: oh... however I'll use that PPA, version is still 1.1.3! Ok, no probs!
[00:20] <NeedInterwebz_> found it
[00:20] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Nice one!
[00:20] <NeedInterwebz_> 3.0 generic
[00:20] <melodie> good night
[00:21] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: that would be the one from Oneiric I think?
[00:21] <Zungo> hello, im having serious glitches!!!, gnome stuff: crash....
[00:21] <Zungo> unity, very bugged: can't see dash
[00:21] <NeedInterwebz_> I think sooo
[00:21] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Just using a different kernel and initramfs is the test... if it works at least we have a clue!
[00:21] <Zungo> anyone?
[00:21] <NeedInterwebz_> how about I do you one better than initramfs
[00:21] <dsjk> Zungo: you can'y see what?
[00:22] <NeedInterwebz_> how about I LOAD A FUCKING WEBPAGE YES!
[00:22] <Zungo> unity UI
[00:22] <L3top> !details | Zungo
[00:22] <NeedInterwebz_> :D
[00:22] <Zungo> it's all glitched
[00:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Zungo: Have you checked the log files such as ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/lightdm/* and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues?
[00:22] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: language!!
[00:22] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: my ears are delicate
[00:22] <NeedInterwebz_> Err, sorry >.>
[00:22] <NeedInterwebz_> I was excited lol
[00:23] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: That means the PC will need reinstalling!
[00:23] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: so you're telling me it has worked?
[00:23] <NeedInterwebz_> because the new kernel didn't install correctly?
[00:23] <NeedInterwebz_> Yes
[00:23] <Zungo> IntuitiveNipple: umm, it's fully glitched, so... no explain needed, i have no logs also, only output of trying to run gnome-stuff
[00:23] <Zungo> always same error
[00:24] <Zungo> and unity runs but it's glitched: i have full unity but: i can't see dash, not even clicking
[00:24] <Zungo> im in precise
[00:24] <Zungo> but
[00:24] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Well darn it to blazes!!! It does sound like corrupt kernel. From this one you could apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-x.y.z-generic where x.y.z is the broken kernel version
[00:24] <Resistance> !enter | Zungo
[00:24] <Zungo> it had been happening before! :((
[00:24] <Zungo> ugh
[00:24] <NeedInterwebz_> in the kernel I'm in now?
[00:24] <chrisbdaemon> hey, I have a vps running ubuntu 10.10 in 64bit, its a cheap vps and the only version they support is 10.10.. whenever i login i see a message about havine 251 packages to update, but when i run 'apt-get upgrade' no updates are available, anyone know how to fix that?
[00:25] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: At least you can use it with an older kernel ... I have to go now you're sorted, my partner is making come-to-bed-and-sleep eyes at me! its our 1 year anniversary today
[00:25] <ejcweb> I'm quite often losing windows on my screen (ie. half above the system menu bar) so I can't grab the title bar to drag it back to a sensible position. What can I do?
[00:25] <NeedInterwebz_> Haha no worries.  I run that command in the older kernel yes?
[00:25] <xangua> chrisbdaemon: 10.10 is no longer supported
[00:25] <NeedInterwebz_> And thanks SO MUCH for your help! congrats on your one year anniversary :)
[00:25] <Zungo> i have no clue about this :( and i want working ubuntu
[00:26] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: yes, you can run safely in that kernel and update the installation of the apparently bad kernel. Identify the latest kernel version on that system (ls -l /boot/) get the version number from that command, then do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-<version>"
[00:26] <chrisbdaemon> xangua: are you saying I can't come into irc and ask some fellow ubuntu users if they know what my problem is?
[00:26] <dsjk> Zungo: try logging in to another user account.
[00:26] <Zungo> dsjk: it's the same!!! it's system-wide problem
[00:26] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: let me see if I can find you a wiki page that shows how to do that just in case you need assistance
[00:26] <dsjk> i suggest you reinstall unity.
[00:26] <NeedInterwebz_> Actually the tab complete shows all the options
[00:27] <Zungo> wierd,
[00:27] <Zungo> this bug happens only when root, but anyway
[00:27] <Zungo> i have no shadows in windows
[00:28] <dsjk> Zungo: are you using a virtual machine?
[00:28] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: I think it'll be "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic"
[00:28] <NeedInterwebz_> That's what I have typed in :)
[00:28] <Zungo> this is just more buggy than ever
[00:28] <NeedInterwebz_> Thanks again man!  And congrats again on your anniversary
[00:28] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: Yay! great team :)
[00:28] <NeedInterwebz_> Haha indeed :P
[00:29] <NeedInterwebz_> take it easy man!
[00:29] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: you too!
[00:29] <IntuitiveNipple> NeedInterwebz_: it's 01:30 here, sleepy time
[00:29] <Zungo> dsjk: nope, and i been having a bad graphics problem}
[00:29] <xangua> chrisbdaemon: well if you are offered a solution with outdated and no longer supported software i would say you have a problem with your provider
[00:30] <guestthor> Is there any video player that can be changed to be completely borderless (like media player classic in windows)?
[00:30] <dsjk> Zungo: someone in this channel might be able to help you.
[00:30] <Zungo> ugh
[00:30] <chrisbdaemon> xangua: yea, i bought it when 10.10 was current for like $5 a month.. i'm looking for alternatives as we speak..

[00:35] <idiot> OerHeks: does the other apply to only local users?
[00:36] <L3top> actually Zungo modaliases will not be available in 1204
[00:36] <L3top> Zungo: ignore error on that or delete it.
[00:36] <sam555> i'm following someone's notes of how to align an ocz ssd with 30gb, but I have one for 60gb, so I need to change the numbers
[00:36] <sam555> however, I need to understand what they are saying
[00:36] <OerHeks> idiot then you are completly open, as you allready been told.
[00:36] <Zungo> L3top: dude, idk, i just had been having troubles with radeon driver from the begining
[00:36] <sam555> the command is fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sda
[00:37] <idiot> OerHeks: what does that mean though exactly
[00:37] <sam555> what does this mean?
[00:37] <gbear14275> Did ubuntu get rid of it's netbook remix?
[00:37] <L3top> Zungo: the new radeon driver is pretty good really, and unfortunately your chipset is not supported by the fglrx
[00:37] <gbear14275> or did they roll it up into another installer?
[00:37] <wormmd> Aaaaaaaand I'm back.
[00:37] <OerHeks> idiot wellll, read the conversation back from today, it is learnfull for you

[00:38] <idiot> OerHeks: i lost the logs
[00:38] <Zungo> L3top: umm, also, i have 16 packages not installed.
[00:38] <Zungo> properly+

[00:38] <wormmd> So, here it is: if one doesn't care about things like tabs and background images and transparency and a slew of scrollbar options to choose from (ooh, scrollbars), I see no reason to use mrxvt over rxvt.
[00:38] <wormmd> So there.
[00:38] <L3top> Zungo: dpkg --configure -a
[00:38]  * wormmd ducks
[00:38] <xangua> gbear14275: it has a unity-2d, you also have other less demand options like xubuntu(xfce) or lubuntu(lxde)

[00:40] <sb> tyler_d , thanks for the advice
[00:41] <tomasm-> hi, is there a common tool or protocol for accessing the data on cell phones when plugged in via usb?
[00:41] <wormmd> ...No thoughts on rxvt vs. mrxvt? I just wanted to stir up some lively, good-natured debate is all! And see if there really was something I was missing out on.
[00:41] <tyler_d> sb: your welcome, now what was going on?
[00:41] <L3top> Zungo: sudo apt-get install -y libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri --force-yes
[00:41] <Zungo> L3top: now: wdm and xdm are having errors
[00:41] <sb> tyler_d , i have been encountring random crashes on Xserver
[00:41] <L3top> Zungo: do you have ppas enabled by chance?
[00:41] <Zungo> L3top: no ppa, but only two
[00:41] <xangua> sorry wormmd this is only support, not debate
[00:42] <sb> tyler_d : without any error message, the xserver crashes and I am moved back to log in screen
[00:42] <L3top> Zungo: can you restate that answer?
[00:42] <Zungo> L3top: ugh, errors on wdm and xdm
[00:42] <tyler_d> sb: k, I need the details if you would please; I'm running version x of ubuntu and when I do blah then blah occurs and it should do blah
[00:42] <wormmd> xangua: you're right, I should have taken this to offtopic :) I forget about that channel sometimes.
[00:42] <Zungo> ah hold on, having wdm running
[00:43] <Zungo> L3top: now i have X off, and it still giving errors about wdm and xdm
[00:43] <j0hnsm1th> Hi i remember there was a way to see the path of the executable you were running for example i type java in bash, how do i know were the java bin is located?
[00:43] <Zungo> idea?
[00:43] <Zungo> ....
[00:43] <Jordan_U> j0hnsm1th: which java
[00:43] <L3top> Zungo: do you or do you not have ppas installed?
[00:43] <tyler_d> j0hnsm1th: if you type `which java` in a terminal it should give you a clue
[00:43] <sb> tyler_d : I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, some time ago, my original 11.04 ubuntu had started crashing whenever I launch kdevelop4.2 , then the problem started coming on the launch of octave as well. So i decided to upgrade, now i am on 12.04 and the problem still exists. I saw the log file Xorg.0.log.old and it readds out Segmentation fault
[00:43] <Zungo> idk,
[00:44] <j0hnsm1th> Jordan_U,  aaah thats the one! tx
[00:44] <Zungo> well, precise ppas
[00:44] <Jordan_U> j0hnsm1th: You're welcome.
[00:44] <L3top> !ppa | Zungo
[00:44] <wormmd> j0hnsm1th: also ls -l /path/given/by/which to check for symlinks and such, if you were that curiuos.
[00:44] <Zungo> and two nice w8upload ppas i got...
[00:44] <PrIsmaTicO> !es prismatico
[00:44] <sb> tyler_d : when I launch kdevelop4.2 and as soon as I try to open a file, the screen goes blank, and comes back with the login screen
[00:44] <tyler_d> sb: that's certainly a problem then; are you running the latest code base for those applicaitons?
[00:44] <Logan_> !es | PrIsmaTicO
[00:45] <aaas> what is the apt-get command which tells you what package provides a particular file...so i want to give a file as an input and get the providing package back
[00:45] <Zungo> problem: when xdm/wdm come in: dpkg can't process
[00:45] <L3top> Zungo: the reason I ask, is because almost all of the errors you are seeing are related to ppas. I know you thought I had ESP... but... alas... this is likely why dpkg is broken.
[00:45] <sb> tyler_d: Yes , I made sure that all my softwares are updated. Today I noticed the problem also came when I launched a simple music player, called clementine
[00:45] <PrIsmaTicO> /†\  logan_ /†\ thanks
[00:45] <j0hnsm1th> wormmd, yes ive been messing around with different java jdk's and im trying to figure out if i have the correct javac in my path
[00:45] <IntuitiveNipple> wormmd: j0hnsm1th Or you can do readlink-e $(which $PROG)
[00:45] <j0hnsm1th> wormmd, i know java is working with oracle by 'java -version'
[00:46] <Zungo> L3top: specifically wdm and xdm are breaking it..
[00:46] <tyler_d> sb: are these apps run from a terminal? or a bunton? and do you know what language they are in?
[00:46] <Zungo> how i fix!_
[00:46] <Zungo> ?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> j0hnsm1th: did you symlink the .so into your browser's plugins folder?
[00:47] <j0hnsm1th> ActionParsnip, thing is ive forgotten what i have and have not done! :P
[00:47] <j0hnsm1th> readlink -e $(which javac)
[00:47] <j0hnsm1th> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/bin/javac
[00:47] <j0hnsm1th> mistake somewere ...
[00:47] <j0hnsm1th> 'java -version' gives me the oracle jdk which is what i want
[00:48] <j0hnsm1th> now just for javac ..
[00:48] <sb> tyler_d: all these apps are run from the unity, i know kdevelop is built on c++ , it is a simple IDE for development. There problems were not present earlier. It started suddenly , and then persisted
[00:48] <Zungo> err....
[00:48] <MarcN> So nepomuk is a semantic data/file indexer.  How do you query it?
[00:48] <L3top> Zungo: please keep the correspondance to one line... there are over a thousand people in here. It makes things difficult for everyone. What I am trying to tell you is that wdm and xdm are not likely the problem, but things they depend on and differing versions being offered as latest by the PPAs you have installed. I expect if you remove the ppas and  do an update, these errors will not likely exist. You should limit your sources to the
[00:48] <L3top> approved ubuntu ones... otherwise things have a tendency to break... like this.
[00:49] <tyler_d> sb: I assume they are all tied somehow to something on your system(ie. x crashing and segfaulting) I may be off track here, but still would like to find out: what type of video card do you have? do you have the latest drivers for it installed?
[00:50] <sb> tyler_d: I have Nvidia quadro 600, and I was using latest drivers available from nvidia website, but it used to give problems, so i read on forums and it was recommended to use the drivers available via the "Additional Hardware" app in unity
[00:51] <sb> tyler_d: currently I am using the recommended driver installed from "additional hardware" app
[00:51] <tyler_d> sb: that is correct, the nvdia drivers (from the site) are very intrusive and very difficult to get rid of
[00:51] <Zungo> L3top: ok, im going to tweak that
[00:52] <sb> tyler_d: I also tried to run memtest86 on the login screen, but it gave an error, small or lower memory. I can provide you the details of Xorg.0.log.old files if that helps ?
[00:52] <tyler_d> sb: very good. next would you mind throwing a pastebin example of one of the crashes for review please
[00:53] <sb> tyler_d: I am sorry, can you explain what is a pastebin ?
[00:53] <tyler_d> !pastebin | sb
[00:54] <sb> tyler_d: Sure, I am pasting the Xorg.0.log.old there, in a min, I have a copy saved from the last crash
[00:55] <tyler_d> sb: very good. let me know
[00:55] <Zungo> L3top: now idk, i have now not listed anymore ppa for precise
[00:55] <sb> tyler_d: This is the link  : http://paste.ubuntu.com/980891/
[00:55] <Jymmm> Mind an OT question?
[00:56] <Zungo> L3top: now idk what to do
[00:56] <xangua> !ot | Jymmm
[00:56] <wormmd> Jymmm: come to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[00:56] <sb> tyler_d: I had also seen some forum posts , where people were pointing the problem to be related to evdev.
[00:57] <Zungo> L3top: are you there?
[00:58] <Zungo> how i fix this?
[00:58] <tyler_d> sb: this ---> [ 74127.068] Segmentation fault at address 0x10 would certainly lead me to believe you may be on the right track with a memtest
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> tyler_d: lots
[00:58] <tyler_d> sb: let me keep looking for a moment though
[00:58] <Zungo> !paste
[00:58] <tyler_d> ActionParsnip: whats going on?
[00:59] <Zungo> !pastebinit
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> tyler_d: just agreeing with the memtest idea
[00:59] <sb> tyler_d: But when I tried a memtest86 option on grub, it just gives an error "small or lower memory"
[00:59] <Zungo> hey
[00:59] <Zungo> what's the apt-get subcommand forlisting repos???
[01:00] <tyler_d> sb: that would certainly be an indication of an error; what does it tell you when you run `free -m` from a terminal?
[01:00] <Zungo> ...
[01:00] <sb> tyler_d: let me try that now
[01:00] <tyler_d> ActionParsnip: thank-you for the feedback, could a seg fault of that type be thrown by vid card memory as well?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: you don't really list repos, you can see what packages come from what repos
[01:00] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: ok, how?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> tyler_d: not sure tbh
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: apt-cache search something
[01:01] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: and if i want to list it all?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: or if you know the packagename:  apt-cache policy packagename
[01:01] <tyler_d> ActionParsnip: I think I will guide toward checking memory though based on his input.
[01:01] <Zungo> all in one shot....
[01:01] <sb> tyler_d: this is the output of 'free -m' http://paste.ubuntu.com/980893/
[01:01] <aft> it amazez me that their is still smart ppl online lol
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: so you want EVERY available package listed?
[01:02] <Zungo> yes
[01:02] <wormmd> aft: *It *amazes *there *are
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: apt-cache search .
[01:02] <Zungo> for someone to debug some dpkg break
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: the period is intentional, should give around 38,500 packages
[01:03] <sb> tyler_d: I have 16 gigs of ram on my computer, I guess free -m report is all good.
[01:03] <tyler_d> sb: so you should have enough to run a memory test, do you still have your installation disk?
[01:03] <tyler_d> sb: I do see that, I can only assume you are running 64
[01:03] <sb> tyler_d: yes I am running 64, and I have installtion disk,
[01:04] <Zungo> there it goes
[01:04] <tyler_d> sb: can you please install hwinfo.. ie from terminal do `sudo apt-get install hwinfo`
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: fairly useless, unless you grep etc
[01:04] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: thanks, period is needed, gives nothing otherwise
[01:04] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: nevermind,
[01:04] <rifk> which ubuntu is the best?
[01:04] <Zungo> it's because
[01:04] <wormmd> rifk: in what way?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> rifk: depends on requirements and taste
[01:05] <tyler_d> rifk: the one that allows you to do what you need
[01:05] <rifk> i want to code python
[01:05] <rifk> and do basic web browsing
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> rifk: they are both equal for that
[01:05] <rifk> and basic tasks
[01:05] <Zungo> xdm and wdm are breaking dpkg.... and idk about repos i have... preciseppa?
[01:05] <wormmd> rifk: anything, really.
[01:05] <wormmd> rifk: I'm a minimalist, so I use lubuntu.
[01:05] <rifk> apt-get is part of unbtun isnt it
[01:05] <rifk> ?
[01:05] <wormmd> rifk: it's a part of Debian.
[01:05] <tyler_d> rifk: yes
[01:05] <sb> tyler_d: sure, in a min
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> rifk: if you like Unity, use Ubuntu. If you like KDE then install Kubuntu. If you have a low end system or want to give maximum resources to your compiler etc then use xubuntu
[01:06] <Zungo> rifk: *buntu is debian based
[01:06] <j0hnsm1th> ActionParsnip, readlink -e $(which javac)
[01:06] <j0hnsm1th> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> rifk: yes apt-get is one of the default installed apps
[01:06] <j0hnsm1th> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[01:06] <Zungo> rifk: and, lubuntu for the LXDE variant
[01:06] <Zungo> rifk: xubuntu is Xfce
[01:07] <wormmd> Zungo: thanks, I forgot to clarify that.
[01:07] <rifk> i guess this will do for now
[01:07] <rifk> is python pre-isntalled
[01:07] <rifk> at most these distros
[01:07] <rifk> ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[01:07] <FloodBot1> rifk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> rifk: yes its used for lots of apps
[01:07] <Zungo> rifk: that's ubuntu base with unity
[01:07] <tyler_d> rifk: you will probably want to get the "build-essentials" but I do believe python is there by default yes
[01:07] <rifk> build-essentials?
[01:08] <sb> tyler_d: running hwinfo now, are there any specific command line flags ?
[01:08] <doktah> can anyone please help me with my ubuntu problem?
[01:08] <tyler_d> sb: yes, do hwinfo --memory
[01:08] <ZaNeIuM> couls someone please help me with coping over a driver to a htpc system thats running ubuntu
[01:09] <rifk> build-essentials?
[01:09] <Zungo> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980902
[01:09] <tyler_d> rifk: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/build-essential
[01:09] <ZaNeIuM> i was using an older ubuntu but i cant get the driver to right location on this new build its xbmc 11.0 but no one is in the channle
[01:09] <Zungo> rifk: it's a metapackage for building/programing tools/compiling
[01:10] <sb> tyler_d: here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/980903/
[01:10] <Zungo> L3top: are you there?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: xbmc isn't supported here
[01:10] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: may help me?
[01:10] <trism> ActionParsnip: we have xbmc in the repositories in 12.04
[01:11] <tyler_d> sb: it sounds as though you went over the top with memory if I might say so. from here I would suggest copying that information to a log file `hwinfo --memory | tee -a ~/memory.log`
[01:11] <wormmd> doktah: probably
[01:11] <trism> !info xbmc
[01:11] <Zungo> dpkg is broken: it complains about errors in wdm and xdm
[01:11] <wormmd> !ask | doktah
[01:11] <OerHeks> Zungo L3top is reading that paste for the next 2 hours
[01:11] <tyler_d> sb: I will take a look at that now
[01:11] <Zungo> ook
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> trism: really, crazy
[01:11] <Zungo> im unsure if he's reading it
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> nice
[01:11] <Zungo> OerHeks: ^^
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: cool, xbmc is supported here in Precise :)
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> !info xbmc oneiric
[01:12] <Zungo> lol....
[01:12] <L3top> Zungo: I have a sick infant... sorry. afk'
[01:12] <alusion_> Whatsup I am already recovering from my format and I have to say Deja dupe or w/e made it very easy!  However I have experience 3 errors already since rebooting
[01:12] <tyler_d> sb: it certainly does not like that ram; after the last one, restart and use the installation disk to attempt to perform a memory test please.
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[01:12] <Zungo> aah!
[01:12] <gh0strider> hey can someone remind me how i would go about adding "root" the audio group?
[01:12] <Zungo> ok
[01:13] <ZaNeIuM> ActionParsnip its kinda of a gengeral question on the driver location
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: how do you mean location?
[01:13] <gh0strider> when i do the command: "cat /etc/group |egrep -i audio" i get the following -> "audio:x:29:pulse" how can i add root to this group?
[01:13] <ZaNeIuM> before i just coped over the driver folder to the home directory it then it just woirked
[01:13] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: errors when trying to configure xdm and wdm
[01:13] <gh0strider> i think that may be a reason why i am not getting any audio from vlc...?
[01:14] <ZaNeIuM> in this version nothing happens
[01:14] <tyler_d> gh0strider: the default is normally usermod +G.. though I would certainly suggest doing a man usermod
[01:14] <imMute> I installed 12.04 in a VirtualBox VM, and when the networking is set for bridged, it sits at "Stopping configure virtual network devices  [ OK ]"  and never boots.  In NAT mode, it flys right through
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: root doesn't need to be in any groups, it has absolute system access
[01:14] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980902 apt-cache search .
[01:14] <cmartin0> i apt-get installed qemu but when i type qemu i get command not found
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: what driver are you copying exactly?
[01:14] <tyler_d> cmartin0: what is the purpose in using qemu?
[01:15] <Floyd42> Is there a way to get the top bar to show Application, System, etc in Ubuntu 12.04?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway?
[01:15] <gh0strider> tylder_d: ya i remember that now...do you think "useradd -G audio root" would work?
[01:16] <cmartin0> tyler_d: I created an image with qemu-img. I want to run it
[01:16] <Zungo> gh0strider: dude, sound never worked as root....
[01:16] <sb> tyler_d: I will try that, otherwise i will be back here, see you later, and thanks
[01:16] <rifk> whats the diff between adduser and createuser?
[01:16] <Zungo> gh0strider: unless you manually run pulseaudio --system
[01:16] <tyler_d> sb: yvw, best of luck
[01:16] <celthunder> Floyd42: to emulate a cpu of some sort?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: that command will break your OS
[01:16] <OerHeks> Zungo ubuntu uses lightdm
[01:16] <Zungo> IT  WILL NOT,
[01:16] <tyler_d> cmartin0: ok? thats a pretty low level app, any reason you didn't use a simpler app like vbox?
[01:16] <Zungo> OerHeks: yeah, i use gdm
[01:16] <rifk> whats the diff between adduser and createuser?
[01:16] <cmartin0> tyler_d: I dont need the bs
[01:16] <Floyd42> celthunder: No, I was wondering if it's possible to get the Applications & System navigation buttons like pre-Unity in 12.04?
[01:16] <ZaNeIuM> ActionParsnip: its the driver for the xbox360 wireless pc adapter
[01:16] <tyler_d> gh0strider: you should really listen to ActionParsnip as well !!
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: you want:  useradd -a -G audio root     to add the user to the supplementary group
[01:16] <xangua> !nounity | Floyd42
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: is it a USB stick?
[01:16] <tyler_d> cmartin0: fair enough (- the language please)
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: root doesn't gain anything by being in groups, as it can access anything at any time
[01:17] <Floyd42> xangua ubottu: Thanks!
[01:17] <celthunder> Floyd42: oops sorry eant to type a diff nick
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: why are you messing with root anyway?
[01:17] <gh0strider> AcionParsnip: thanks for the tip..
[01:17] <ZaNeIuM> the hardware is usb, and i have coped over the folder from usb stick to the hdd
[01:17] <SeanLeBeck> Im looking to have a VPS hosting, and I cant decide whats better ubuntu or fedora
[01:17] <SeanLeBeck> ?
[01:17] <Floyd42> celthunder: ah, no worries
[01:17] <tyler_d> cmartin0: does which qemu tell you anything productive?
[01:17] <vivid> anyone have an issue where new mails are not triggering the message indicator to turn blue?
[01:17] <Zungo> gh0strider: please type the command i had said adove, should make sound work
[01:17] <SeanLeBeck> whats more stable, faster and robust?
[01:17] <Zungo> SeanLeBeck: use fedora,
[01:17] <SeanLeBeck> thanks!
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: if you run:  lsusb    you can see the USB ID, and find guides using that ID
[01:17] <gh0strider> Zungo: thanks let me try that as well
[01:18] <DarkAceZ> Gaaaaah!! Nautilus isn't auto-recognizing my files anymore without an extension! Help!
[01:18] <Zungo> gh0strider: yeah, check with Sound in system settings
[01:18] <Floyd42> SeanLeBeck: From my experience, Ubuntu is more stable.  Fedora .. something or the other would stop working suddenly.
[01:18] <imMute> oh hey, it does actually boot, but with no network.   ifup eth0 says it cant find the eth0 device
[01:18] <cmartin0> tyler_d: no. whereis gives directories.
[01:18] <Zungo> gh0strider: because pulseaudio is configured per-user, as root it works by putting --system
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> imMute: then run:  sudo lshw -C network      then websearch for the product line
[01:19] <tyler_d> cmartin0: which qemu ?
[01:19] <Floyd42> SeanLeBeck: Also in my Fedora, after running the system for a day or so, the screen wouldn't lock.  And it would log out automatically.  So I'd say Ubuntu is the more stable of the two.
[01:19] <Zungo> SeanLeBeck: for me, ubuntu is far more broken here....
[01:19] <xangua> !ot | Floyd42 SeanLeBeck Zungo
[01:19] <Zungo> or use: #fedora
[01:20] <imMute> ActionParsnip: when VirtualBox has it set for NAT (rather than bridged) it works just fine.
[01:20] <Zungo> Floyd42: and use xscreensaver
[01:20] <Floyd42> SeanLeBeck: Full disclosure I should mention that I've only used up until 10.10.  Later versions might have problems, I'm not aware.
[01:20] <Zungo> Floyd42: remove gnome-screensaver, never works
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> imMute: have you asked in #vbox ?
[01:20] <cmartin0> tyler_d: which retuns nothing
[01:20] <gh0strider> ActionParsnip: when i did useradd -a -G audio root it complained about "-a" saying it was not an option...
[01:20] <Floyd42> Zungo: you mean for the screen locking thing?  yeah, i agree x-sc is better.  But even Ctrl+L wasn't working ..
[01:21] <Zungo> yes
[01:21] <gh0strider> i am trying to get sound to work with vlc...
[01:21] <tyler_d> cmartin0: then it unfortunately is not pathed properly, or alternately not installed
[01:21] <gh0strider> for some reason sound works for everything except vlc
[01:21] <Zungo> Floyd42: ugh, ignore all that stuff, and use xscreensaver/xlock
[01:21] <imMute> ActionParsnip: considering I've never had this problem before, and I've run Fedora Arch and Ubuntu 10.04 in the VMs with bridged - I figured it was a ubuntu issue.
[01:21] <gh0strider> works for kmplayer dragon player kaffeine my web browser everything except vlc
[01:21] <Zungo> Floyd42: in xfce xlock is there by default unless xscreensaver runs
[01:21] <Zungo> Floyd42: ctrl+alr
[01:21] <Zungo> alt*+del enables it
[01:22] <tyler_d> cmartin0: attempt to do `sudo updatedb` then `locate qemu`
[01:22] <DarkAceZ> ;_;
[01:22] <Floyd42> zungo: thanks, ctrl+ what's alr?
[01:22] <Zungo> Floyd42: ctrl+alt+del*
[01:22] <bibic682> why....when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 I lose half  my wireless internet speed and half signal strenth....windows driver doesn't work at all. Full speed in 11.04
[01:22] <Floyd42> right alt button?
[01:22] <Zungo> sorry, typo
[01:23] <tyler_d> bibic682: sorry do you have something we can help with?
[01:23] <DarkAceZ> Well I'm out then ;_;
[01:23] <Floyd42> zungo: ctrl+alt+del .. doesn't that bring up the window to restart /shutdown the system?
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> imMute: may be a config issue between vbox and ubuntu too....
[01:23] <Sonja> is precise going to have php 5.4? or sticking with 5.3?
[01:23] <Zungo> Floyd42: nope, not in my fedora, not in xfce
[01:23] <skll> boa noite.
[01:23] <Zungo> !apt php
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> !info php5
[01:23] <gh0strider> would usermod work instead of "useradd" for root?
[01:23] <Zungo> !apt php
[01:23] <bibic682> yes....wireless internet connection dropped in half after upgrade to 12.04
[01:24] <Floyd42> zungo: ah, i shall have to try that.  thanks.   i tried xfce but i didn't like it.  i guess i should install it for the xscreensaver only.
[01:24] <Zungo> gh0strider: idk ye
[01:24] <Zungo> Floyd42: yup, xscreensaver works better
[01:24] <Zungo> but
[01:24] <Zungo> im talking about fedora....
[01:24] <Zungo> Floyd42: you should try this xlock on xfce on fedora
[01:24] <tyler_d> bibic682: define how you have determined this? what utilities or tools have you used?
[01:25] <gh0strider> Zungo: have you ever had any issues with getting sound out of VLC?
[01:25] <Floyd42> zungo: coolio, will give it a shot
[01:25] <Zungo> or xedora! xD
[01:25] <Zungo> being spin-geeky
[01:25] <Zungo> :D
[01:25] <Floyd42> haha.  xedora sounds cool
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: as longas you had the packages downloaded it's ok ;)
[01:25] <Zungo> kdeora hehe
[01:25] <Zungo> for kde spin
[01:25] <xangua> Zungo: can we stick to the topic¿
[01:25] <Zungo> Sure! just messing around lol
[01:25] <tyler_d> bibic682: are you talking range? or speed?
[01:26] <Floyd42> openboxedora
[01:26] <Zungo> bibic682: try speedtest.net
[01:26] <Zungo> Floyd42: lol wat
[01:26] <tyler_d1> bibic682: lol as soon as I mention it my wireless drops and picks up :p
[01:26] <Floyd42> zungo: openbox is another DE
[01:26] <tyler_d1> brb folks
[01:26] <gh0strider> hmm...that didn't seem to work
[01:27] <gh0strider> usermod -G audio root (that worked)
[01:27] <Zungo> Floyd42: lol, also, openbox won't work properly there... no menu, and, no full menu thing like hee
[01:27] <gh0strider> just still no soudn out of vlc...
[01:27] <Zungo> gh0strider: :)
[01:27] <bibic682> tyler_d    I have tested my download speed...half  what it was and my signal indicator says 58% versus 100% in 11.04
[01:27] <Floyd42> zungo: yeah, it's not comparable functionality-wise to gnome or kde ..
[01:27] <Zungo> gh0strider: do this: run pulseaudio --system on console: then restart vlc
[01:27] <droope> Hey guys I have a problem setting up my connection. I have tried to set up ubuntu to auto detect proxy, but it doesn't work. When I set firefox to auto detect it works just fine though, and it asks for my username and password. ANyone have any idea on how i could solve this?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: do other apps work with sound?
[01:28] <droope> any way that I can route all the traffic in the operating system through that proxy?
[01:28] <Zungo> gh0strider: are you using rooted session?
[01:28] <anil> .help
[01:29] <Floyd42> droope: even if you set gnome proxy, not all applications obey it.  if your particular application has a network settings option, set the proxy there.
[01:29] <bibic682> I am on my machine in the den right now running 11.04....exact same wireless nic on same network getting 100%
[01:29] <bradley> i have a black bar on my right side and it wont go away i think its a driver issue
[01:29] <Zungo> !help | anil
[01:29] <xrfang> how can I check what DNS server is currently used? the /etc/resolv.conf file is empty
[01:29] <droope> Floyd42: there's no way of making it work system wide? it's running in a VMware, maybe with that? i can't be bothered to make all the apps work! :(
[01:29] <imMute> ActionParsnip: apparently it was a problem with udev - when I changed the adapter type it changed pci settings or something and made a new eth2.  now I have an eth0 on the right adapter but 'sudo ifup eth0' just hangs :/
[01:30] <droope> !patience
[01:30] <evgeniy> всем приветы
[01:30] <Zungo> bradley: that's unity bar, there's problem with your graphic driver
[01:30] <Floyd42> droope: it's a bit complicated, but you can tinker with iptables to route all traffic through the proxy.
[01:30] <xangua> xrfang: click on the network indicator, there is an option to show information about the conexion
[01:30] <OerHeks> !ru | evgeniy
[01:30] <xangua> Zungo: unity launcher is not at right
[01:30] <Zungo> oh
[01:30] <xrfang> ok, thanks xangua, got it
[01:30] <bradley> my screen has a black bar on the right side and it wont go away i believe its a driver issue
[01:31] <Zungo> bradley: umm, try another session?
[01:31] <bradley> the screen doesnt fit right
[01:31] <Zungo> bradley: try change resolutions?
[01:31] <bradley> i have it doesnt change
[01:31] <Floyd42> bradley: what are the specs?  ram, graphics card etc?
[01:31] <gh0strider> ActionParsnip: everything else works with sound except vlc, such as dragon player, kmplayer, my web browswer when i play youtube videos
[01:31] <Zungo> umm, might be your graphic card/monitor screen
[01:31] <gh0strider> Zungo: yes i am using a rooted session
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: why are you running the GUI as root?
[01:32] <Zungo> gh0strider: sure system sound works?
[01:32] <Floyd42> gh0strider: open vlc from the terminal.  try playing a video.  see what the error message is and report.
[01:32] <gh0strider> ActionParsnip: i understand the risks
[01:32] <bradley> my mother board is a g45
[01:32] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: i do undestrand the same risks too
[01:32] <imMute> ActionParsnip: now I'm really wtfing - 'sudo ifup eth1' did as expected (even saw the DHCP in wireshark) but eth0 still hangs..
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: i doubt it, heavilly
[01:32] <gh0strider> Flyod42: tried that...it plays the video in the terminal but no sound
[01:33] <droope> Floyd42: I can't find anything on that matter, do you have any nearby?
[01:33] <gh0strider> ActionParsnip: i really do
[01:33] <droope> anything*/
[01:33] <Floyd42> droope: hold on, will give you a link
[01:33] <imMute> ActionParsnip: ah fuck, it has the adapters backwards - the one connected to the second adapter is actually eth0 but the physical device that it's bridged to isn't plugged in
[01:33] <Zungo> gh0strider: stop it and use another player
[01:33] <Floyd42> gh0strider: what is the error message in the terminal regarding no sound?
[01:33] <Zungo> or, go advanced settings in vlc
[01:33] <Zungo> and see
[01:34] <bibic682> wireless nic...11.10  100% signal...8 meg download....upgrade to 12.04...58% signal...3.5 meg download... What gives ?
[01:34] <Brandon> hopefully someone can help me out ^_^
[01:34] <bradley> anyone got any ideas
[01:34] <gh0strider> Ahh i think i just noticed something..
[01:34] <Zungo> gh0strider: do: 'vlc > ~/log && pastebinit -i ~/log'
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: the OS isn't designed to be ran as root, which is why you  are getting issues
[01:34] <Zungo> yep
[01:35] <Zungo> TOO MUCH ROOT BY-DESIGN IUSSES
[01:35] <Floyd42> droope: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-a-tor-middlebox-routing-all-virtualbox-virtual-machine-traffic-over-the-tor-network
[01:35] <Zungo> USE FEDORA FOR ALL THIS: WORKS BETTER
[01:35] <Zungo> just
[01:35] <bradley> is there a way to fix the black bar on my screen
[01:35] <droope> sweet as Floyd42, thanks!
[01:35] <Floyd42> droope: just use those instructions, but use your own proxy.  alternatively, check out tails livecd.
[01:35] <Brandon> I just picked up a netbook from someone, it had windows 7 starter on it. I immediatley decided to throw linux on it. I started with Joli OS but am wanting something different. Now when I try to boot from USB nothing appears to boot
[01:35] <gh0strider> okay i have vlc + linux on my laptop and when i play the video (video plays fine) and i go to the audio menu the selection "audio device" is not availabe but on my laptop where vlc is working properly it had the audio device option under the audio menu
[01:35] <Floyd42> droope: cool, no prob!
[01:35] <droope> Floyd42: I don't know what the proxy is though, firefox autodetects it, but I have no idea
[01:35] <Zungo> use kdm or other DM for this... gdm doesn't allow root login
[01:36] <gh0strider> for some reason maybe vlc is not recognizing my sound device?
[01:36] <bradley> ello lol
[01:36] <arvind> Hi, I was trying to upgrade my system from 10.04 to 12.04.  I manually changed the entries in sources.list and did aptitude update, now when I run aptitude dist-upgrade, lot of packages are being held back back because they depend on others, what do I do?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: just don't use root and you'll be fine
[01:36] <Zungo> gh0strider: yep, might be, go advanced vlc settings please
[01:36] <Floyd42> droope: check tools-preferences-network and it'll show the proxy details (http / socks etc)
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: check the sound setting in VLC....
[01:36] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: Sure!
[01:36] <xangua> arvind: don't ever do something like that -  I manually changed the entries in sources.list
[01:36] <droope> Floyd42: thanks man!
[01:36] <droope> :P didn't see that
[01:37] <Zungo> gh0strider: how did you made rooted login have sound?
[01:37] <gh0strider> I have tried all of the availabe sound settings in vlc advanced settings such as ALFA, DEFAULT, UNIX OSS etc etc nothing works...
[01:37] <arvind> xangua, ok, but what do I do now?
[01:37] <Floyd42> arvind: if you've made a backup, do a fresh install.
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: do you wonder why.......
[01:37] <xangua> arvind: i would recoment back up your data and make a clean install
[01:37] <Floyd42> droope: coolio
[01:37] <Zungo> gh0strider: STOP USING ROOT, USE ANOTHER PLAYER, F********* OFF
[01:37] <arvind> FloodBot1, xangua is there no way out of this?
[01:38] <xangua> Zungo: stop that please
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: not constructive
[01:38] <gh0strider> ActionParsnip: since i have pulseaudio running in the background i will try the "pulseaudio" option for vlc but i doubt it will work...
[01:38] <xangua> arvind: let's go to the time machine ;)
[01:38] <Zungo> Nevermind! just
[01:38] <gh0strider> Zungo: you okay?
[01:38] <Zungo> gh0strider: try it, use pulseaudi
[01:38] <Floyd42> arvind: doing a fresh install is easy and saves you a ton of time trying to resolve issues.  just make a backup (obviously)  before attempting it.
[01:38] <Zungo> should work
[01:38] <gh0strider> Zungo: you seem very emotional, if you dont know the answer its okay
[01:38] <Zungo> if not then idk!
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: try:  rm -r ~/.config/vlc      then rerun the app, or just use another player.....
[01:39] <Zungo> gh0strider: also, please tell me what you did to have sound in rooted session?
[01:39] <arvind> xangua, thanks :) Floyd42
[01:39] <Floyd42> arvind: no worries :)
[01:40] <Zungo> gh0strider... please?
[01:40] <Floyd42> I have a general question about XChat.  When replying to someone, do I necessarily have to include the colon after the name, or is it enought if I just mention the name followed by a space and the message?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> Floyd42: the name is enough, the colon is optional
[01:40] <Zungo> Floyd42: #xchat
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> Floyd42: most clients add the colon
[01:40] <tyler_d1> Floyd42: try tab, that should auto-complete and let you know what is required
[01:40] <gh0strider> AuctionParsnip: i will try removing the vlc config file
[01:41] <gh0strider> this is my sound card output from "lspci"
[01:41] <gh0strider> 02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 02)
[01:41] <Floyd42> actionparsnip tylder_d1 zungo thanks guys
[01:41] <gh0strider> so should i even be using pulseaudio?
[01:41] <Floyd42> did that work?
[01:41] <tyler_d1> Floyd42: no
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: is it ok as your normal user, how you are supposed to use the OS?
[01:41] <Zungo> gh0strider: hmm, yes, but in USER gui
[01:42] <Zungo> ?
[01:42] <ecanto> somebody use Ubunutu in macbook pro with dual boot?
[01:42] <Floyd42> tyler_d1: hmm ok.  looks like i have to add the colon everytime then.
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> !mac
[01:43] <tyler_d1> Floyd42: does so :)
[01:43] <gh0strider> i don't know if this will help anything but since you can't run vlc as root i edited the kde menu to "run as anothe user" for vlc which is why i added root and my other user for the "audio group" but could this have to do something with why i am not possibly getting any sound?
[01:43] <Zungo> wow, installed lightdm and problem with dpkg disappeared!! i wonder why....
[01:43] <Zungo> gh0strider: uhhh, USE NORMAL USER VLC!!!!!!!!!
[01:44] <Jordan_U> !anyone | ecanto
[01:44] <Zungo> gh0strider: chmod 0777 to that file also
[01:44] <Zungo> and move it to / or somewere else
[01:44] <gh0strider> hmm maybe the regular user doesnt have a config file?
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> gh0strider: could use su to run VLC as your user.
[01:45] <Zungo> gh0strider: copy it from ~
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: ~ is /root   for root
[01:45] <Zungo> yeah
[01:45] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: why i have precise ppas?
[01:45] <gh0strider> hmmm now the audio device showed up under the menu...
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: are you using precise?
[01:45] <Zungo> yep...
[01:46] <gh0strider> i haven't copied over the config file yet...
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: then that's why....
[01:46] <Zungo> upgraded from oneric
[01:46] <Zungo> ...
[01:46] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: upgrade was a kinda mess,
[01:46] <Zungo> should i remove precise ppas?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: yeah, I always clean install personally
[01:47] <Zungo> cuz now i have officail repo
[01:47] <Zungo> ok
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: no, you are using precise so the PPAs are ok
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: you can remove them if you wish
[01:47]  * Zungo goes to remove precise ppas, he already got official repos
[01:47] <Zungo> yes
[01:48] <Zungo> i have it all}
[01:48] <Zungo> the ppas were needed for the upgrade i guess
[01:48] <Zungo> can be?
[01:48] <Zungo> ActionParsnip
[01:48] <xangua> Zungo: no, you added them
[01:48] <Zungo> i didn't
[01:48] <cvprog> how do i launch a seperate terminal window from withing a terminal window AND have it run a command automatically
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: not from Oneiric to Precise, no. You will use the default repos
[01:48] <cvprog> ?
[01:48] <bibic682> arvind  You could upgrade one distro at a time...takes a little longer but keeps all your added on stuff and  most settings
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> cvprog: man gnome-terminal
[01:48] <xangua> Zungo: well i doub a third party repo just appear one day by itself
[01:49] <Zungo> ActionParsnip: xangua: it added when i do 'do-release-upgrade'
[01:49] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: i use urxvt, so i guess ill try man urxvt
[01:49] <Zungo> the ppas came when i launched the upgrade
[01:49] <evgeniy> help my. please talk russian irc chat Ubuntu
[01:50] <bishnuyash> hi , using terminator , good terminal emulator , better than gnome-terminal
[01:50] <Logan_> !ru | evgeniy
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, hey do you have the set of commands you have posted for the /etc/sysctl.conf file, this speeds up the computer and other colo things.
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> *cool
[01:50] <Nach0z> hey guys, is there a way to watch what processes are being run, constantly, without using top?
[01:50] <bishnuyash> htop
[01:50] <Zungo> so, it's safe to remove precise ppas?
[01:51] <Floyd42> nach0z: yep.  using a conky script.
[01:51] <Nach0z> Floyd42: server though, not desktop
[01:51] <evgeniy> a server connect ???
[01:51] <Nach0z> aint got a screen
[01:51] <Zungo> Nach0z: go install screen
[01:51] <Floyd42> nach0z: doesn't matter.  you can still use conky.
[01:51] <Zungo> Nach0z: sorry, you mean't Screen/display?
[01:52] <gh0strider> brb maybe a reboot might help...
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: I can pastebin the ones I use
[01:52] <Nach0z> Zungo: yeah, I meant a display
[01:52] <Nach0z> lol
[01:52] <L3top> Zungo: there are no precise PPAs
[01:52] <Zungo> err, guys, then, it's safe to remove precise ppas?
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/980934/
[01:52] <Nach0z> Floyd42: alright, found conky-cli, but I'm in the middle of installing a LOT of other stuff so that's not feasible.
[01:52] <L3top> Ubuntus repositories exist by default Zungo.
[01:52] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, cool I have used it before but forgot to save it, thanks a lot. :)
[01:52] <Zungo> L3top: yes there are: i got them when did 'do-release-upgrade'
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Zungo: sure, you can remove any PPAs you want
[01:53] <L3top> The repositories you have added, are added. Zungo.
[01:53] <L3top> No... no you did not.
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: after editting, run:  sudo sysctl -p       or reboot
[01:53] <Floyd42> nach0z: then do it when it's feasible.  duh.
[01:53] <L3top> !ppa| Zungo
[01:53] <Floyd42> nach0z: why can't you run top from a terminal?
[01:53] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, yeah that makes sense.
[01:53] <droope> my username is DATACOM\PedroW, how do i use it in export http_proxy? i.e. export http_proxy="DATACOM\PedroW:password@proxy" doesn't work
[01:53] <Zungo> L3top: oh, i didn't also added that manually: it came automatically when ran release upgrade
[01:53] <L3top> read the factoid
[01:53] <Nach0z> Floyd42: I'm trying to figure out if a specific process is running, and top's only showing as many as fit inside the putty screen
[01:53] <L3top> that is not possible sir.
[01:54] <Zungo> it's
[01:54] <Nach0z> and I believe it's running very intermittently
[01:54] <Nach0z> so ps aux is not an option
[01:54] <Zungo> launchpad url for precise ppa! Spotted in apt-get update
[01:54] <Floyd42> nach0z: "gnome-system-monitor" then
[01:54] <Zungo> and on early upgrade
[01:54] <Zungo> before upgrade
[01:54] <Floyd42> nach0z: assuming you're running gnome DE
[01:54] <Nach0z> Floyd42: no, there's no desktop environment
[01:54] <Zungo> Floyd42: Nach0z's on server
[01:55] <Nach0z> I'm doing a release upgrade and I'm getting spammed by "xset: unable to open display """
[01:55] <L3top> Zungo: I am not trying to have an argument with you. I am telling you, that ppas exist BECAUSE their code is not  approved by ubuntu. It is the very nature of the beast.  I JUST UPGRADED FROM 11.10
[01:56] <jrib> Nach0z: what's the value of DISPLAY?
[01:56] <Floyd42> nach0z: use this command. ps -auxx | grep 'python'
[01:56] <bazhang> Zungo, lose the caps
[01:56] <Zungo> jrib: Nach0z's on server!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
[01:56] <Floyd42> nach0z: that will show you all the processes that are based on or related to python that are running
[01:56] <L3top> Zungo: Then, sir, you have forgotten adding them. It simply does not, can not, and will not work that way.
[01:56] <Floyd42> nach0z: just substitute 'python' with the process you're trying to find.
[01:56] <Zungo> L3top: wtf
[01:56] <bazhang> Zungo, there is no way possible the PPA were added by themselves. no need for the caps/excessive punctuation
 and two nice w8upload ppas i got...
[01:57] <L3top> Zungo: I am not arguing, there is no point in it. It simply is not possible.
[01:57] <unclouded> hi all.  I'm having trouble with telepathy and IRC on Ubuntu 12.04.  When I add an account it says "Disconnected - Authentication failed".  xchat works though.  The network is chat.freenode.net, port 6667 no SSL.  It worked on Ubuntu 11.10.  I have configured a nickname and nothing else.  what should I try next?
[01:57] <Zungo> really, they were automatically added, i saw it, had opened software sources when it warned about third-party repos disabled.. saw there precise ppas
[01:58] <Brandon> whenever i try to boot from USB to install, I get a quick flash of "syslinux..." and then it goes to black screen with blinking white cursor
[01:58] <Nach0z> Floyd42: I'm trying to constantly watch all running processes, I need something that updates much faster than top. I believe something is trying to start xset but failing, and I'd like to see what it is, basically
[01:58] <Zungo> IT'S possible!
[01:58] <Brandon> theres more than just "syslinux" but it flashes too fast
[01:58] <Zungo> Nach0z: you can make top update faaster
[01:58] <Brandon> any ideas what causes this?
[01:58] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot, you rule, ;)
[01:59] <Nach0z> Zungo: howzat
[01:59] <don262> ActionParsnip: thanks for the tips as well!
[01:59] <Zungo> Nach0z: 'man top'
[01:59] <Zungo> and
[01:59] <L3top> Zungo: It is not. YOU have installed something third party that added them perhaps, giving it root permission... but there is no such thing as an ubuntu ppa. The discussion is too long to have. Google it.
[01:59] <Floyd42> nach0z: sorry, i am out of ideas.  i suggest you try in the "debian" freenode channel.  there are some very bright minds who might be able to help you out.
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> don262: np
[01:59] <Zungo> Nach0z: also, top: tap H
[02:00] <Zungo> Nach0z: go ##linux
[02:00] <Brandon> anybody have any ideas?
[02:00] <Nach0z> alright.
[02:00] <jrib> why are people sending Nach0z away from this channel...
[02:00] <jrib> Nach0z: did you see my question?
[02:00] <Floyd42> Brandon: what exactly is the problem?  it just flashes syslinux?  so?
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> Brandon: what video chip do you use?
[02:00] <dtb> hey guys - trying to install via USB stick on a dell laptop. Starts booting into the "live" option and then the LCD starts blinking Red,Green,Blue,White,Black - is there any way to pass special nvidia options to the live boot ? or install via text mode ?
[02:01] <Brandon> it flashes "syslinux" and some other stuff, in one line
[02:01] <Brandon> then goes to black screen with blinking white cursor
[02:01] <Brandon> not sure, actionparsnip, just picked this netbook up a couple days ago
[02:01] <Nach0z> jrib: the value of "DISPLAY" ?
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> dtb: what video  chip do you use?
[02:01] <jrib> Nach0z: sure
[02:01] <Brandon> i installed ubuntu on it fine the other day, then installed Joli OS
[02:01] <j0hnsm1th> is there a way to gunzip -d something to a seperate file as in xxx.tgz to xxx1.tar ?
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> Brandon: whay make and model?
[02:01] <Brandon> now its not booting any live USBs
[02:01] <Nach0z> jrib: it's empty.
[02:01] <Brandon> acer aspire one
[02:01] <persona> my software center button does not work.  when i run it from a terminal using gksu software-center however it runs fine.  how can i tell unity to run it as root
[02:01] <jrib> Nach0z: if you start a fresh new session in putty, do you still have the issue?
[02:02] <Brandon> Acer ASpire One D257-1417
[02:02] <Brandon> ive used unetbootin and linuxlive usb creator both
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> persona: could edit /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop
[02:02] <Nach0z> jrib: do-release-upgrade starts inside screen, and yes, I've used a new putty session multiple times and just screen -r to get back into the update
[02:02] <dtb> ActionParsnip, it's an XPS m1730 - just googled the specs and the chip is: NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8700M GT
[02:03] <jrib> Nach0z: and outside of the update for screen?  Do you have this xset being printed?
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> dtb: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> Brandon: seems to be some Intel thing, so try the boot option:   nomodeset
[02:04] <Brandon> hmm
[02:04] <Brandon> how do i do that
[02:04] <unclouded> are there any known problems with telepathy connecting to IRC?  I have IPv6.  I don't know if that would upset telepathy.  are there any log files for telepathy so I can see what it's trying to do when it tries to connect to Freenode?
[02:05] <Brandon> i thought nomodset was in bios, dont see it in there
[02:05] <Brandon> i saw that suggestion when i was googling
[02:05] <persona> ActionParsnip: seems to be the ubuntu-software one in that folder editting now ty
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | Brandon
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Brandon
[02:06] <jrib> Nach0z: what ubuntu version is this (upgrade from what to what)?
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> persona: change the exec line and add gksudo, you will then be prompted for your password
[02:07] <Brandon> hmm
[02:07] <Brandon> ActionParsnip, i dont even get to the boot splashscreen
[02:07] <cmartin0> tyler_d1: I think things changed around on 12.04.
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Brandon: hopefully the boot option will sort it
[02:08] <Nach0z> jrib: upgrading from 11.10
[02:08] <jrib> Nach0z: apt-cache policy update-manager, what version are you at?
[02:08] <Brandon> sigh
[02:08] <Brandon> oh well
[02:08] <persona> ActionParsnip: seems to be the ubuntu-software one in that folder editting now and yep it worked thanks
[02:09] <Nach0z> jrib: 1:<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:09] <dtb> ActionParsnip, champion! that " nouveau.blacklist=1 " worked :)
[02:09] <rinzler> Having trouble upgrading to 12.04. downloaded the iso and burned it to a cd, but when I start the upgrade, it can't continue because it "can't unmount /cdrom" When I shut down, I have to remove and replace the power to get my graphics card to work again. any ideas?
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> dtb: some chips don't don't like the nouveau driver
[02:09] <jrib> Nach0z: you're being bitten by bug #883618
[02:09] <Nach0z> jrib: any fixes? :|
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> persona: yeah its a weird one
[02:10] <jrib> Nach0z: yeah (in the precise version of the package :P)
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> dtb: you'll need it in the installed OS, you can then install the proprietary driver later and be ok
[02:11] <don262> jrib: good job on that fix for Nach0z!!
[02:11] <dtb> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[02:12] <Dawn262> I learn something every time I idle on the boyfriends computer
[02:12] <Dawn262> you guys are awesome!!
[02:13] <mattbillenstein> hi all
[02:13] <mattbillenstein> if I have a stuck upstart job — not running, but upstart thinks it is
[02:13] <Floyd42> dawn262 Hey Dawn, wazzup
[02:13] <mattbillenstein> how do I clear that state?
[02:13] <Nach0z> jrib: did "ps aux | grep "xdg"" ad it listed one by Root that was running xset every thirty seconds, killed that process, seems to have fixed the issue
[02:14] <jrib> Nach0z: that's probably fine
[02:14] <Dawn262> Floyd42 nada
[02:14] <Floyd42> dawn262: gee, don't know what happened there
[02:15] <ggolin> hey guys, my root partition is reported as 100% while du -hcs says that only 7.4 gb out of 12gb is taken. pangolin. what am i doin wrong here?
[02:15] <Nach0z> jrib: it appears to be a fairly good fx. lol.
[02:15] <jrib> Nach0z: you have xdg-utils installed for some reason (the loop only executes if it finds xdg-screensaver in /usr/bin)?
[02:15] <ggolin> this makes little sense to me /dev/sda1        12G  9.1G   20M 100% /
[02:16] <ggolin> 12 there, 9 taken, 20m free?
[02:16] <jrib> ggolin: some space is reserved for root
[02:16] <ggolin> jrib, 5% usually, no?
[02:16] <mattbillenstein> ggolin: how many inodes are being used?
[02:16] <jrib> ggolin: check with tune2fs
[02:17] <ggolin> sec
[02:17] <Nach0z> jrib: yes, xdg-screensaver is there
[02:17] <Nach0z> not sure why it's running the loop in the first place, but it's not doing it anymore
[02:17] <jrib> Nach0z: in any case, the bug is known and fixed in new versions
[02:17] <helo> how do i get a program when the screensaver activates?
[02:18] <helo> err...
[02:18] <helo> how do i get a program to run when the screensaver activates?
[02:18] <Nach0z> jrib: in "new" versions? what newer versions of what exactly?
[02:18] <jrib> Nach0z: I only ask about xdg-utils because it's something that probably doesn't make too much sense on a server without X
[02:18] <jrib> Nach0z: update-manager
[02:18] <POQDavid> hi ppl burg messed up my grub and now the grub menu wont show up can you guys plz help me get my grub back
[02:18] <Nach0z> I'm on the newest version of update-manager. :|
[02:18] <Nach0z> also, yeah, this used to be a desktop but I converted it.
[02:18] <jrib> Nach0z: no, there's a newer version in precise... (see the bug report)
[02:19] <Nach0z> oh. huh. weird. it's not listed as a candidate on my system
[02:19] <jrib> Nach0z: well aren't you in oneric still?
[02:19] <gh0strider> and vlc is working!!!
[02:19] <Nach0z> plus, I upgraded everything before I started the release-upgrade...
[02:19] <jrib> oneiric
[02:19] <ggolin> heh /dev/sda1           0     0      0     - /
[02:19] <Nach0z> jrib: if that's what 11.10 is called, sure
[02:19] <ggolin> df -i
[02:19] <persona> ok now my other question ait graphics how do i not draw the unity bar on my second monitor
[02:19] <persona> ati*
[02:19] <jrib> Nach0z: right, so the precise version wouldn't be available to you
[02:19] <Nach0z> alrighty then.
[02:20] <gh0strider> finally man!! i have been trying to get vlc to play sound for a full day now and i finally got it working!!
[02:20] <Brandon> what the heck does 'uncompression error' mean when trying to boot from live usb
[02:20] <gh0strider> what i ended up doing was deleting the vlc dir -> /home/user/.config/vlc and then restarted vlc and it created new config files and it started playing the sound finally!!
[02:22] <j0hnsm1th> im running ubuntu12.04 and i just finished unpacking the latest android-sdk for linux, i realize i could just stick it in home directory, but where/why is a good place to put this kind of stuff?
[02:22] <dj_segfault> Brandon: The image is stored compressed on the USB stick and is uncompressed as it's read and loaded.  It must be corrupted.
[02:22] <Brandon> sigh
[02:22] <Floyd42> brandon: try doing a memtest with a livecd.  it could be a problem with the RAM.
[02:22] <dj_segfault> True
[02:22] <ggolin> wtf...
[02:22] <ggolin> why would df -i report all zeroes for /
[02:23] <ggolin> partition type is btrfs
[02:23] <jrib> j0hnsm1th: I use /usr/local/ if it has a "unixy" structure and /opt if it does not, for things that are meant to be installed system-wide
[02:24] <dj_segfault> j0hnsm1th: Some people create an /opt directory for hand-installed software like that.  Others create directories under /usr/local.  I like to keep my software development tools separate, so I create a /devel directory and put stuff in there.
[02:24] <dj_segfault> jrib beat me to most of it.
[02:24] <j0hnsm1th> jrib, example of something with "unixy" strucuture?
[02:25] <Nach0z> jrib: Got a similar one for you: a few times so far, I've been spammed by several hundred repetitions of GdkPixBufWarning complaining about a loaders.cache not existing
[02:25] <jrib> !fhs | j0hnsm1th
[02:25] <quiescens> ggolin: presumably, because btrfs doesn't have an traditional inode limit
[02:25] <j0hnsm1th> tx!
[02:25] <quiescens> a*
[02:25]  * ggolin sighs
[02:25] <jrib> Nach0z: on a desktop machine?
[02:25] <mattbillenstein> sigh
[02:25]  * ggolin planned to do some work
[02:26] <st3el_> Hello all, I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu and I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on both my laptop and desktop, I was wondering how to network the two over my LAN so that they can share files...
[02:26] <droope> Hey, can anyone point me to a tutorial for routing all connections through a proxy? i need the authentication to happen automatically as well... thanks!
[02:26] <ggolin> st3el_, are they both connected to the internet via the router?
[02:26] <st3el_> ggolin, yes
[02:27] <ggolin> st3el_, a simple solution is to rightclick a directory and go with sharing
[02:27] <ggolin> st3el_, a not so simple solution is to figure out nfs
[02:27] <Nach0z> jrib: same machine as before. desktop turned server.
[02:27] <ggolin> st3el_, i suggest you start with the former and research the latter when you have time.
[02:27] <Nach0z> no X server running.
[02:27] <jrib> Nach0z: oh, during the update?
[02:27] <Nach0z> jrib: yup
[02:28] <ggolin> st3el_, you also may luck out and find the other machine in the network view of the filemanager
[02:28] <jrib> Nach0z: there's some discussion at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203
[02:28] <st3el_> ggolin, yea I'm not that lucky :D
[02:28] <ggolin> st3el_, another way is to install openssh-server on both machines and use the 'go to server' option in the file menu of the filemanager
[02:28] <st3el_> ggolin, but thank you
[02:29] <st3el_> ggolin, hmm openssh-server huh
[02:29] <ggolin> st3el_, yes this will work. 'connect to server', not 'go to server', sorry.
[02:30] <ggolin> st3el_, you're welcome
[02:30] <st3el_> ggolin, very helpful stuff,  again thank you sir.
[02:30]  * ggolin reads the manpage for  btrfs and realizes he will have to reinstall using ext4
[02:30] <gh0strider> man i was working for a full day to get vlc working with sound and i finally got it working!! i am really happy because vlc is my favorite video player by far!
[02:31] <quiescens> ggolin: a possible reason for df showing more used space than du shows is things like unlinked files that are still open by a process but it isn't really all that common
[02:31] <APoulos> hello everyone
[02:31] <POQDavid> nvm i got it l8rs
[02:32] <ggolin> quiescens, thats an interesting idea, i just killed novacom - maybe it was doing icky stuff.
[02:32]  * ggolin reboots
[02:32] <quiescens> rather, it is very common, just that most of the time its small tmp files
[02:32] <deeprogram> hey ? What's tool can let me connect windows from ubuntu ?
[02:32] <ggolin> deeprogram, define 'connect'
[02:32] <joallard> I'm getting a weird glitch on Facebook, it's a long shot, but has anyone seen this? http://i.imgur.com/KfJwY.png?1
[02:32] <APoulos> I have a question -  would running a VM set at 1GB of RAM for a computer set up with 3GB of RAM be a bad idea?
[02:32] <ggolin> APoulos, just try it
[02:33] <helo> how do i set different screensavers?
[02:33] <APoulos> ggolin: no I need some opinions
[02:33] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @APoulos Wouldn't think so, though depends on what you're planning on putting the VM and the host through I suppose.
[02:33] <deeprogram> ggolin: sorry ?
[02:33] <ggolin> APoulos, depends on what the vm will do
[02:33] <deeprogram> ggolin: define what ?
[02:33] <ggolin> deeprogram, define 'connect'
[02:33] <ggolin> what do you mean by connect?
[02:33] <APoulos> Ghost_In_Zshell, ggolin  - Windows XP - Running Rosetta Stone
[02:33] <ggolin> share files? view the desktop?
[02:33] <ggolin> APoulos, oh that will be fun.
[02:34] <Floyd42> apoulos: depends on what the minimum requirements are for the guest OS.
[02:34] <ggolin> APoulos, just do it. the worst thing that could happen is that it will suck more than usual
[02:34] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @APoulos That's more than enough.
[02:35] <ggolin> Ghost_In_Zshell, do you use zsh?
[02:35] <APoulos> Ghost_In_Zshell ggolin Floyd42 im planning on running a VM with Win XP business edition as the OS - just so I can learn Rosetta Stone - Rosetta stone requires atleast 700MB of RAM, so I figure why not go 1GB?
[02:35] <ggolin> APoulos, dont forget the os itself
[02:35] <ggolin> .o(why not zoidberg?)
[02:35] <APoulos> ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Floyd42 I currently have on my actual host system 3GB of ram
[02:35] <yjacket> I used rtcwake on my ubuntu server, and now it is not booting...
[02:36] <Floyd42> apoulos: considering you have 3gb total, i think that's sensible.  you shouldnt experience too much of a slowdown in your host OS as well.
[02:36] <ggolin> APoulos, ram is not the only parameter here. how may cpus you've got, what kind of drives, etc.
[02:36] <yjacket> It displays a flashing cursor, then the screen goes blank, no bootup info, nothing...
[02:36] <ggolin> yjacket, is it a laptop?
[02:36] <APoulos> Floyd42: worst case scenario - whats the worst that would happen? I dont really want to try and work out a dual boot -
[02:37] <yjacket> no, it is a 7 year old desktop
[02:37] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @ggolin Actually use bash as my main shell out of habit, but zsh is really nice.
[02:37] <yjacket> ggolin: no, 7 year old desktop
[02:37] <APoulos> ggolin: I have 2 Processors, AMD, its a 32bit CQ60z-200
[02:37] <Floyd42> apoulos: forget dual boot.  if you have sufficient ram and hdd space, do a VM install.  no reason to go dual boot.
[02:37] <ggolin> yjacket, pull the power plug, try again
[02:37] <deeprogram> ggolin: I just need give ip address to file browser  and then it give me files in windows
[02:38] <deeprogram> ggolin: now I also want to get the files from ubuntu
[02:38] <Floyd42> BTW I didn't know Rosetta Stone is a separate OS by itself.  I thought it's a software you install on Windows.
[02:38] <APoulos> Floyd42 ggolin Ghost_In_Zshell Rosetta stone isnt. its a windows program
[02:38] <cvprog> you can run it under wine
[02:38] <yjacket> ggolin: i've tried hard restarting, but I'll leave it unplugged for a few mins, and try again...
[02:38] <ggolin> deeprogram, in ubuntu right click directory and choose sharing
[02:38] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @APoulos I'll have to second Floyd42—you won't need to dual boot.
[02:38] <APoulos> cvprog: not taking my chances with the copy I have
[02:38] <ggolin> yjacket, you could also reset the bios, see if that helps
[02:39] <Floyd42> apoulos: then why don't you install it on your host OS itself?  you said you have win xp as your host os right?
[02:39] <ggolin> ok you people back to rails
[02:39] <APoulos> Floyd42: no. Ubuntu 12.04 is my host
[02:39] <ggolin> just try wine APoulos
[02:39] <ggolin> try it
[02:39] <deeprogram> ggolin: you are right but it share ubuntu files not get the windows files that be shared from ubuntu
[02:39] <ggolin> aint gonna kill ya
[02:39] <APoulos> ggolin: I know what WINE is mate, the problem is the copy I have of the program is custom built.
[02:40] <Floyd42> apoulos: oh, i see.  yes, then win xp guest on vm for rosetta stone is sensible.  better than dual boot.
[02:40] <ggolin> deeprogram, on windows share a directory and on ubuntu go to browse network
[02:40] <Ghost_In_Zshell> Depends on what version of the software he has. Some of the later versions of the software don't play nice with Wine.
[02:40] <ggolin> APoulos, fine, fine, be conservative :)
[02:41] <APoulos> Ghost_In_Zshell, Floyd42 ggolin I dont want to run wine with the copy of Rosetta Stone I have, id rather it be in a monitored - enclosed sandbox environment than my actual host OS
[02:41] <Floyd42> apoulos: good idea
[02:43] <APoulos> Floyd42 Ghost_In_Zshell I dont have any doubt the copy i have is free of any malware, but the last thing I need is to take the chance - which is why I considered either dualing or a VM. Which ever would be less stress on my PC
[02:43] <fudejian> 123
[02:44] <Boohbah> hey, quit pirating softwares!
[02:44] <APoulos> Floyd42 Ghost_In_Zshell Boohbah its not pirated. Its custom built.   the only thing that's stopped me thus far
[02:44] <APoulos> is
[02:44] <APoulos> Ubuntu cant make a winxp flash that works correctly
[02:45] <APoulos> which saddenms
[02:45] <APoulos> saddens me
[02:45] <Floyd42> apoulos: if you're using a distro with selinux, you can use the sandbox feature to run rosetta stone on wine. but since this is ubuntu, vm is the best option.
[02:45] <PRabyte> APoulos: ?
[02:46] <vexaxv> should i install grub to dev/sda (my hard drive) or dev/sda1 (my partition where ubuntu is installed)
[02:46] <Ghost_In_Zshell>  Go VM. No need to have to dual boot—it's not as if you need all the machine resources for it. Plus, it's probably easier to rollback a VM snapshot than it is to backup a Windows partition.
[02:46] <PRabyte> grub is already installed vexaxv maybe you need to configure it
[02:46] <PRabyte> ?
[02:47] <APoulos> For some reason all the Multiboot USBs and along with WinUSB and Unetbootin havent made correct Win XP boots for my usbs
[02:47] <vexaxv> lol..i know i just installed it but im wondering if sda was the best choice if i should have installed to sda1 where ubuntu is installed
[02:47] <APoulos> Ghost_In_Zshell, Floyd42 the question and fear I have is the VM running at 1GB of RAM - will it do any harm?
[02:47] <vexaxv> because i just installed and startup was kinda slow where its normally fast
[02:48] <APoulos> PRabyte: what did you mention me for?
[02:48] <PRabyte> i felt like it
[02:48] <Floyd42> apoulos: unlikely.  i've been using them for a long time.  what kind of trouble are you anticipating?
[02:49] <PRabyte> winetricks
[02:49] <APoulos> Floyd42: too much for the processors. Its a dual core, but the way the ventilation is set up sucks.
[02:49] <PRabyte> has come a long way since .9
[02:49] <vexaxv> so anyone know the answer? is it better to install grub on the partition u installed ubuntu on or your hard drive (dev/sda)
[02:49] <soarsky> I am a rookie. I want to install gtkpod-2.1.1. When I was compiling, I got "configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found."
[02:49] <APoulos> PRabyte: id rather not use WINE because Wine can actually still execute windows based malware
[02:49] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @vexaxv Depends on your boot setup, but generally /dev/sda
[02:49] <PRabyte> but your are making flash, not surfing the net
[02:49] <soarsky> I google it ,but didn't find anything
[02:50] <PRabyte> world of goo and adobe cs5 work fine
[02:50] <Floyd42> apoulos: mine is a dual core laptop too.  over four years old.  i take care to have a hardware sensor monitoring tool running continuously to check if it anything untoward happens ..
[02:50] <APoulos> PRabyte: ? what? I dont follow you?
[02:50] <soarsky> please tell me where to find " glib-compile-schemas "
[02:50] <j0hnsm1th> vexaxv, i used /dev/sda but im not sure of the consequences of using /dev/sda1
[02:50] <soarsky> thanks!
[02:50] <vexaxv> i have 6144 mb in swap and the rest in sda1 (ubuntu) so i installed grub on dev/sda (hard drive)
[02:50] <PRabyte> what did you mean by winxp flash
[02:50] <PRabyte> maybe i miss understood, but if i did, ill stick with what i am saying
[02:51] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @vexaxv If those are your only positions, that should be fine.
[02:51] <Floyd42> apoulos: if you're doing something memory and cpu intensive (video encoding for eg.) while running the vm, then you might experience overheating .. but otherwise, shouldn't cause too much prob.
[02:51] <PRabyte> if you want to do flash , then do flash, linux is still depending on wine and vm for those operations. its not assimulated totally yet
[02:51] <vexaxv> k thanks man
[02:52] <Unresolved> Chapter 3 Digital COmic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCqwVYuPZu8
[02:52] <APoulos> PRabyte: I meant making a windows XP bootable usb drive - its been said that in all other usb progs that make bootable usbs for OS's including windows - that the only one that doesnt work from Linux is WinXP
[02:52] <PRabyte> dev/sda is hd 1, dev/sdb, is hd 2, dev/sbX the rest
[02:52] <j0hnsm1th> Ghost_In_Zshell, say you were dual booting another OS on the same hdd, what would happen if u pointed grub to /dev/sda1 (where ubuntu lives) ?
[02:52] <PRabyte> so if you only have sda, yes install grub there, or actually grub will install it there for you
[02:53] <PRabyte> ohhhhhh
[02:53] <PRabyte> lol
[02:53] <APoulos> j0hnsm1th: grub bootloader would replace windows bootloader
[02:53] <PRabyte> i thought you meant winxp flash files
[02:53] <PRabyte> not flash drive , gotcha
[02:53] <yjacket> ggolin: It still won
[02:53] <davidvasquez> hi
[02:53] <davidvasquez> im new here
[02:54] <chu> Hello davidvasquez
[02:54] <yjacket> ggolin: It still won't boot, so I tried inserting an Ubuntu disk, and mounted the drive and am in the shell...
[02:54] <PRabyte> j0hnsm1th: grub has a menu, it will say at boot where it is going. you can change the defs at /etc/default/grub
[02:54] <j0hnsm1th> APoulos, yes realise this, but i recently fresh installed ubuntu12.04 and wondered what would happen if i chose /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda
[02:54] <j0hnsm1th> (i chose /dev/sda and everything worked)
[02:54] <davidvasquez> hey i just installed skype here my cam looks realy dark im using xubuntu how can i fix it?
[02:55] <PRabyte> j0hnsm1th: just make sure you read the top line of that file
[02:55] <Floyd42> davidvasquez: turn on the light in your room :P
[02:55] <davidvasquez> its still prety dark even in the brightest room
[02:55] <PRabyte> to this day , most if not all default conf's are in /etc somewhere, but i never noticed grub in there until i used ubuntu
[02:56] <davidvasquez> yeah
[02:56] <Floyd42> davidvasquez: i place a lamp behind me and it usually helps ..
[02:56] <davidvasquez> like when i use skype on windows its good but here its dark
[02:56] <Floyd42> davidvasquez: try running cheese to see if it appears fine.  if so, then try meddling with the skype prefs.
[02:57] <yjacket> My ubuntu server isn't booting after I tried rtcwake, so I am trying to set it via a rescue disk... can some one help me out?
[02:57] <st3el_> can you install programs built for red hard and fedora on ubuntu 12.04?
[02:57] <davidvasquez> ill get chese
[02:57] <APoulos> Floyd42: so running a VM with use of 1 of my 3GB of RAM isnt going to do any harm?
[02:57] <Boohbah> st3el_: it may be possible, but not generally recommended
[02:58] <davidvasquez> also do any of u guys know how to fix the chppy videos on youtube??
[02:58] <Floyd42> st3el_: it's theoretically possible to convert rpm to deb.  but not recommended.
[02:58] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @st3el_ You can try alien. No guarantees though. Probably better off trying to find a precompiled .deb or compiling it yourself from source.
[02:58] <Floyd42> apoulos: like i said, use a hardware sensors monitoring tool running continuously to see if everything's under operating conditions ..
[02:58] <davidvasquez> does anyone play king of fighters??
[02:59] <st3el_> yeah I'm not compiling just yet lol
[02:59] <Floyd42> apoulos: also wise to not run very memory and cpu intensive processes on the host while the guest is running.
[02:59] <st3el_> but thanks
[02:59] <josheee12>  i just replaced a small array of monitors with a large, widescreen one.  is there any realistic way to "fake" a high resolution, in the sense of fitting more content in the same area by making the size of windows smaller?
[02:59] <Floyd42> josheee12: yep.  change the screen resolution to the maximum possible.
[03:00] <APoulos> Floyd42: shoot.. well - Im just hoping it wont fry my PC
[03:00] <st3el_> why is it that both are linux based but they use different file extensions?
[03:00] <Ghost_In_Zshell> @st3el_ Because they're different distributions with different package managers, hence RPM and DEB-based distributions.
[03:00] <APoulos> st3el_: rpms suck.. I hate installng them
[03:01] <ggolin> st3el_, dont do it
[03:01] <josheee12> Floyd42: obviously.  but i'd still like to fit even more content, potentially break the large screen into separate smaller "virtual" screens, if you will, for things like multiple split screens, etc
[03:01] <st3el_> lol
[03:01] <st3el_> thanks guys
[03:01] <ggolin> st3el_, just take my word for it. dont. do it. you will sink a ton of time into it and it will not work.
[03:01] <yjacket> after executing "rtcwake -m disk -s 10" on my ubuntu 11.10 server, I can't get it to boot at all
[03:02] <ggolin> yjacket, dude you broke it
[03:02] <st3el_> I wanted to install teamviewer seems strange that they don't make one for ubuntu but...
[03:02] <st3el_> I'll find another remote solution
[03:02] <Floyd42> st3el_: i'm pretty sure they do
[03:02] <st3el_> any advice on that?
[03:02] <APoulos> st3el_: ... dude, what are you talking about the have it for ubuntu
[03:02] <yjacket> ggolin: whats broken?
[03:02] <APoulos> st3el_: I just ran it the other day
[03:02] <APoulos> st3el_: it was a .deb file
[03:02] <ggolin> yjacket, the hell if i know but you computer wont boot now :(
[03:02] <OerHeks> st3el_, there is one, but i won't recommend using it tru their service
[03:03] <st3el_> yeah I'll use the chrome add-on
[03:03] <st3el_> it works pretty well no os issues
[03:03] <yjacket> ggolin: I suppose I will just copy my config files that I changed, and my home directory and reinstall...
[03:03] <APoulos> st3el_ OerHeks why not? whats wrong witht he OS one?
[03:03] <sb> tyler_d: Hi, i am back, i ran a complete test, and the memory is all good
[03:04] <APoulos> st3el_: OerHeks theres nothing wrong with running it via .deb package
[03:04] <OerHeks> APoulos, better use VNC tru SSH
[03:04] <APoulos> OerHeks: oh thats true
[03:04] <st3el_> I understand but I'm just looking for a quick fix
[03:05] <st3el_> really was more interested in why :D
[03:06] <ggolin> st3el_, what does that teamviewer do?
[03:09] <yjacket> st3el_?
[03:11] <APoulos> Floyd42: here's my computer's stats: http://pastebin.com/ufYUHrkQ
[03:11] <APoulos> Floyd42: let me know what you think about the VM idea
[03:11] <APoulos> Floyd42: based on my stats
[03:11] <Loshki> yjacket: if you can boot from live cd, you might be able to get away with reinstalling grub. You've nothing to lose at this point by trying it....
[03:13] <yjacket> Loshki: ok thanks, I'll try that! the reinstall shouldn't be to bad if it comes to that though, just a few apache and sshd config files + home dir
[03:15] <Floyd42> apoulos: OK.  this is what i do. i have circle screenlets setup to display ram usage, cpu usage, fan speed, hdd and cpu temps.  i close any unnecessary applications on my host.  then i start the guest.  i keep an eye on the sensors at all times, and if i feel any of them are venturing towards a critical range, i stop or slow down the process that is causing it.  with these best practices, i find it mitigates the risk of "frying" my sys
[03:15] <Floyd42> tem.
[03:16] <irenicus09> Floyd42: don't u think screenlet itself is too heavy? why not use something like a conky? :P
[03:16] <Kynetic> dunno if this is really the right place to ask or not, but im considering installing 12.04 to test out ubuntu tv.. how would you guys say it compares (if at all) to mythtv for being my PVR and tv playback setup?
[03:18] <Floyd42> irenicus09: it takes less than 20mb.  my system has sufficient ram to manage that weight.
[03:24] <irenicus09> Kynetic: how do u install ubuntu tv? I'm quite curious and would it work on a regular tv? :P
[03:25] <Kynetic> i havent as yet installed it, im going to install 12.04 as a secondary OS on my media centre PC to test this out, im assuming it just comes with 12.04?
[03:25] <POQDavid> here anyone know about grub?
[03:26] <Foxhoundz> Is there any way to save the brightness settings for next log on?
[03:27] <Foxhoundz> It resets every time I restart my computer
[03:27] <Foxhoundz> I'm frankly saddened that this hasn't been addressed with version 12.
[03:27] <POQDavid> i need help restore grub
[03:29] <Foxhoundz> This room is uncharacteristically quiet.
[03:29] <Foxhoundz> Someone say something!
[03:29] <L3top> !ot | Foxhoundz
[03:30] <L3top> POQDavid: what is your native language?
[03:30] <POQDavid> ubottu: can i ask about grub here?
[03:31] <POQDavid> lol
[03:31] <OerHeks> Foxhoundz, maybe answer #2 works for you >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/97561/brightness-setting-is-reset-to-maximum-at-login
[03:31] <POQDavid> OerHeks: can you help me how i restore grub
[03:31] <L3top> POQDavid: I would be happy to help you with grub... I was just curious if there were a more appropriate language for ubuntu that you might be comfortable in.
[03:32] <POQDavid> idk i just want my grub to boot
[03:32] <Loshki> Foxhoundz: Or try this: Use at your own risk: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-save-screen-brightness-settings-in-ubuntu-12-04-laptopcreen-brightness-settings-in-ubuntu-12-04-laptop
[03:33] <OerHeks> POQDavid, there is an extended howto about grub2 > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[03:34] <POQDavid> cool thanks
[03:34] <loconut> hello, my system (12.04 x86_64) just had an update and now when I log in on my regular account it crashes and logs me back out. If i try again lightdm hangs. I suspect a config file issue since I can log in on another account
[03:34] <loconut> how can I clear out the minimum of stuff and get my account back?
[03:35] <APoulos> Floyd42: well, thats why I've been considering dual booting.
[03:36] <APoulos> Floyd42: whats exactly the worst case scenario in the sense that it would cause my PC to go overboard?
[03:36] <robgraves> hello
[03:36] <APoulos> Floyd42: would it just slow down and get heated and shutdown? or actually fry my system?
[03:36] <LofS> hi
[03:36] <loconut> /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 31: /home/blt/.profile: Syntax error: "}" unexpected
[03:36] <loconut> xsession-errors
[03:36] <APoulos> Floyd42: as in critically melt something
[03:37] <MikeW> Hi folks. Is anyone aware of a laptop with decent performance that works really really great with 100% FOSS driver support for everything?
[03:38] <mr_gees100_peas> hi
[03:38] <Floyd42> apoulos: depends. most systems have a threshold temperature, which when reached, turns off the system and does not boot until cooled down to a certain point. there's a certain degree of safety there. however, if you run your system continuously at ~100% cpu for a long time, it could cause multiple issues .. including frying the motherboard, requiring application of thermal paste in the heat sink etc.
[03:39] <APoulos> Floyd42: then I think I might just want to dual boot it instead of VM
[03:39] <Celltech> How do I open a /etc/default to edit it?
[03:39] <APoulos> Floyd42: my PC heats up quite a bit
[03:39] <mr_gees100_peas> I'm having a problem that when I restart ubuntu 12.04 I loose internet connection. I can regain it by going to setting/networking and turning it off and back on. This started happening after I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04
[03:41] <psusi> Floyd42, barring a hardware problem, a fully loaded cpu should not be a problem
[03:41] <Floyd42> apoulos: i think i've given you all the info you need to decide for yourself.
[03:43] <POQDavid|2> i found the gr8 boot-repair thanks a lot guys you are the best :)
[03:44] <vexaxv> random question for ya guys, if so many people migrated to mint because they hate unity why didnt they just add the gnome 3 teams ppa and install it, i just did, now im installing kde and figuring out which one is best for me
[03:45] <vexaxv> instead of going to a ubuntu derived o.s with gnome 3 when u can have ubuntu with gnome 3
[03:45] <vexaxv> i dont understand
[03:46] <Debolaz> vexaxv: Because Mint has some special customizations on their gnome 3.
[03:47] <OerHeks> vexaxv, ubuntu 12.04 comes with gnome3+unity
[03:47] <OerHeks> !nounity
[03:47] <Debolaz> vexaxv: But if someones main complaint about a Linux distribution is that it doesn't look enough like Windows 95, they're bound to do dumb things anyway.
[03:48] <txdv> awesome window manager!
[03:48] <OerHeks> Debolaz, true, and if windows change 1 byte, they yell it is awesome.
[03:48] <vexaxv> quick question i installed kde standard and it says configuring kdm..choose lightdm or kde..wth i said kde whats kdm and whats lightdm
[03:49] <jobud9> Hello, Ive got a question if anyone can help me.
[03:49] <OerHeks> vexaxv where does it says during installation choose lightdm or kde ? never seen this
[03:50] <vexaxv> if u install kde-standard..then after synaptic finishes a window will pop up saying configuring kdm
[03:50] <vexaxv> then asks u to choose lightdm or kde
[03:51] <jobud9> I'm running an amd64 version of ubuntu when I need to run a different version. Unfortunately I've already set things up the way I like them. If I backup my system with deja dup and get a different version of ubuntu, will all my files be there like they were when I restore from the backup?
[03:51] <OerHeks> vexaxv, lightdm = gnome3/unity
[03:51] <vexaxv> ohhh
[03:51] <vexaxv> by the way im on 12.04 it only came with unity for me
[03:52] <vexaxv> even though i just added the ppa for gnome 3
[03:52] <OerHeks> vexaxv, you can get the clean gnome3 experience
[03:52] <OerHeks> !nounity
[03:52] <vexaxv> brb
[03:53] <OerHeks> jobski, in basic yes
[03:53] <POQDavid|2> boot-repair also can be used for Kubuntu?
[03:53] <OerHeks> sorry jobski , was ment for jobud9

[03:55] <OerHeks> acapulco or make fun:  eject && eject -t
[03:55] <POQDavid|2> OerHeks: boot-repair also can be used for Kubuntu?
[03:55] <OerHeks> POQDavid|2, i am not sure, ask in #Kubuntu ?
[03:55] <acapulco> eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'
[03:55] <POQDavid|2> oh ok sorry
[03:55] <acapulco> doesn't work
[03:59] <OerHeks> acapulco, try "man eject"  maybe eject sda/sdb/sdc works
[04:00] <POQDavid|2> OerHeks: thanks :) and i gtg take care bye
[04:02] <Celltech> How come gedit won't let me save a file?
[04:02] <chu> Permissions?
[04:02] <Celltech> I'm complete admin
[04:03] <chu> Are you using sudo gedit or gksudo gedit?
[04:04] <OerHeks> Celltech, what error do you get ?
[04:05] <Celltech> That I don't have the permission. But I just checked. I have all permissions checked
[04:06] <OerHeks> Celltech, so did you use sudo or gksudo, like chu  asked ?
[04:06] <Celltech> No. I just opened the file in gedit
[04:07] <OerHeks> try "  gksudo gedit /path/to/file "
[04:07] <chu> And you logged in with root?
[04:07] <Celltech> Yes. let me try sudo gedit in terminal and see whathappens
[04:07] <Celltech> brb
[04:08] <chu> Celltech: Don't sudo gedit in terminal, us gksudo gedit
[04:08] <Gracenotes> hmm. why would Linux let me allocate memory, and then when I try to use it, throw a "Killed" at me?
[04:08] <zykotic10> !gksudo | Celltech
[04:08] <Celltech> ok thank you
[04:08] <Gracenotes> hm.. someone threw a sigkill at it
[04:15] <proxinix> j #proxinix
[04:15] <proxinix> sorry server isn't as fast as I :-)
[04:16] <Gracenotes> :| why would Linux invoke the oom-killer rather than use the GB of swap I have?
[04:16] <Gracenotes> GBs.
[04:23] <vexaxv> hey guys quick question i installed kde-standard in the ubuntu repos..how come whenever i try to look for wallpaper or themes on kde-look.org i get an error..is this not considered the full kde?

[04:29] <kkaisare> Greetings, all.  Doing a dpkg -i --force-confmiss fixes the config files in /etc, but I'd also like to revert the sample files created in /var/www/nginx to their original state. Does anyone know how this might be done? Thanks in advance!
[04:30] <Boohbah> Veritas: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (in a terminal)

[05:20] <Gatepc> Hello there, i was wondering if anyone here could offer me a word of advice on certifications, regarding the LPIC-1
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> Gatepc: study hard
[05:20] <st3el_> erm, more questions than answers
[05:22] <st3el_> can someone tell me how to register on irc, not really related to Ubuntu but its an easy one...
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> !register
[05:22] <Gatepc> I am currently a 3rd quarter ITNA student and love playing with linux,bsd, and CLI environments but only have experience by play.
[05:22] <st3el_> !register
[05:22] <st3el_> bang resgister?
[05:22] <st3el_> ! register ST3EL
[05:22] <st3el_> !register ST3EL
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: READ what ubottu said....
[05:23] <st3el_> it claims to be a bot
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> Gatepc: I have the LPIC-101 and102 book as wellas reilleys LPI cert in a nutshell
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: if you join #freenode  they will help you register
[05:24] <Gatepc> How is it? I was lloking at that book.
[05:25] <st3el_> Where
[05:25] <st3el_> ActionParsnip, how
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: type:   /join #freenode
[05:25] <Gatepc> Easyenough to follow for someone with limited kinux experience?
[05:25] <st3el_> ActionParsnip, no offense but your advise is not helpful
[05:26] <st3el_> ActionParsnip, didn't you register?
[05:26] <st3el_> ActionParsnip, if so how...
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: it is, ubottu even says to join #freenode to get help registering
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: i' am registered, identified and cloaked as I am an Ubuntu member
[05:26] <Gatepc> Sorry for typos on tablet...
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> Gatepc: seems ok
[05:26] <proxinix> ./msg NickServ register passwordgoeshere emailgoeshere
[05:26] <proxinix> just give someone the answer every now and then
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: I don't see how anyone can advise better than directing you to the place where all registration help and troubleshooting takes place
[05:27] <Gatepc> Alright i will have to look into that book then.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> st3el_: so your statement of "no offense but your advise is not helpful" is flat wrong
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Gatepc: the nutshell book is also recommended on the LPIC site, it has a bull on the front
[05:32] <Gatepc> Oh ok haha
[05:32] <KingBeast> st3el_,   /join #freenode

[05:35] <Opus_Major> i recently discovered an open port 52869 should i be worried? i have a hunch its the minecraft server i run
[05:36] <alusion> I just reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 and my display settings will crash my computer when I click off mirror displays
[05:36] <khmerog_> hi
[05:37] <khmerog_> ihave the newest version of ubuntu is there a way to add a Show Desktop button on the taskbar??
[05:37] <quixotedon> i can't either :(
[05:38] <Opus_Major> khmerog_: i belive the keyboard shortcut is Super D if that helps im no expert
[05:39] <quixotedon> khmerog_: i found it!! it's ctrl+super+D
[05:39] <quixotedon> khmerog_: it works here.. :)
[05:39] <Opus_Major> wait THE don quixote?
[05:40] <quixotedon> khmerog_: Opus_Major: anyway if you want to find the shortcut key on keyboard, just hold the Super button and a shortcut window pops up
[05:40] <khmerog_> thanks qui
[05:41] <khmerog_> WOW even cooler thanks quixotedon
[05:41] <quixotedon> khmerog_: you're welcome.. :) i'm glad to now i find the answer to my own question, thanks to remind me though.. :)
[05:41] <Opus_Major> quixotedon: only problem with that is i havent updated
[05:41] <khmerog_> do you know of any programs for ubuntu that can change the way ubuntu looks? like widgets, themese, tasbars, etc?
[05:41] <snapdata> After a reboot if I press enter in anything (terminal, keyring password submission, etc) it logs me out. I then have to log back in. This happens every time.
[05:41] <sorana> hi
[05:41] <quixotedon> Opus_Major: then, the shortcut key is still Super+D i believe.. :)
[05:42] <quixotedon> hi sorana
[05:42] <sorana> program install ?
[05:42] <sorana> command
[05:42] <Opus_Major> quixotedon: yea im just waiting until they release a major update to fix all the bugs
[05:42] <proxinix> .
[05:43] <Opus_Major> sorana: again im not an expert but i belive its 'sudo apt-get instal "program"'
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Opus_Major: CTRL+SuperL+D
[05:44] <Opus_Major> ActionParsnip: im on 11.10
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Opus_Major: should be the same
[05:44] <quixotedon> khmerog_: havce you tried 'Appearance' setting when you press Super button?? Anyway, the latest version comes with certain appearance setting for you to customize
[05:44] <Opus_Major> ActionParsnip: super+d works ctrl+super+d doesnt
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Opus_Major: strange, super+d in unity will run the app with the 'D' on it
[05:45] <quixotedon> ActionParsnip: super+d doesn't work on 12.04, but it works with 11.10 :)
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> gotcha
[05:47] <Opus_Major> i recently discovered an open port 52869 should i be worried? i have a hunch its the minecraft server i run
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Opus_Major: what process is using it?
[05:47] <Opus_Major> ActionParsnip: i dont know i just did a port scan
[05:47] <snapdata> Every time I start/restart my computer, the first time I press ENTER/RETURN, no matter the time or place, I am logged out. After I log back in it works perfectly.
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Opus_Major: then run:   netstat -a | grep 52869
[05:47] <Opus_Major> netstat -a | grep 52869
[05:47] <Opus_Major> oops
[05:48] <Opus_Major> wrong window
[05:49] <Opus_Major> its just blining there doing nothing
[05:49] <Opus_Major> blinking*
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> give it time
[05:49] <Opus_Major> i know its running a process
[05:49] <Zzzssss> Hi channel..
[05:49] <Zzzssss> i have tiny confussion..
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Zzzssss: wassup?
[05:49] <Zzzssss> i am on ubuntu 11.. i tried to remove apache2..  but still its files are in /etc/apache2 ?
[05:50] <Zzzssss> and script in init.d ?
[05:50] <Opus_Major> ActionParsnip: it just returned to prompt and didnt return anything
[05:50] <dr_willis> you used the purge option?
[05:50] <Zzzssss> i had remove to /etc/apache2..  and script
[05:50] <Zzzssss> i then try to install it once again # apt-get install apache2
[05:50] <dontknow> why do i see "Cannot send to channel" warning in some channels?
[05:51] <Zzzssss> but now those files /etc/apache2.. didn't installed
[05:51] <Zzzssss> even init.d script
[05:51] <Zzzssss> so what should i do ?
[05:51] <dr_willis> dontknow:  regiestered nicks only most likely
[05:51] <dontknow> dr_willis, how can i register with command in xchat?
[05:52] <dr_willis> !register
[05:53] <Zzzssss> i had used purge .. but now how /etc/apache2 files will install ?
[05:53] <khmerog_> quixotedon - yeah i looked in the appearance, not much option there but i will wait for next update
[05:53] <snapdata> Every time I start/restart my computer, the first time I press ENTER/RETURN (numpad or the main key), no matter the time or place, I am logged out. After I log back in it works perfectly.
[05:53] <snapdata> If anyone even has a hint as to what's going on here I would greatly appreciate it.
[05:54] <Opus_Major>  nmap -v -sT (your not getting my ip)        puts out PORT      STATE SERVICE
[05:54] <Opus_Major> 23/tcp    open  telnet
[05:54] <Opus_Major> 80/tcp    open  http
[05:54] <Opus_Major> 52869/tcp open  unknown
[05:54] <FloodBot1> Opus_Major: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:54] <khmerog_> I need a program that formats/erase my dvd-rw..ive been using basero and gparted but always get a error msg with them
[05:54] <Opus_Major> oops
[05:54] <snapdata> Opus_Major, use pastebin
[05:54] <Opus_Major> thought it would print on one line
[05:55] <Opus_Major> my bad
[05:55] <Opus_Major> sorry
[05:55] <snapdata> Opus_Major, there is a program for pastebin that would take 10x less time than copying it into gedit and removing the newlines
[05:56] <Zzzssss> btw any one tried this thing ? that apache dont install configuration files on second -re-installation
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: xfburn will probably do it
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: or in command line:  sudo dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/sr0
[05:57] <Opus_Major> sorry snapdata its my first time using irssi and i didnt know it saved newline characters i usually use another client
[05:57] <khmerog_> ooo i can do it from the command? how do u know all these commands? is there a website that lists all the commands? please send me link if u have
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: websearch is all I did, found the command
[05:58] <quixotedon> khmerog_: brasero doesn't work here either, try xfburn as what ActionParsnip said
[05:59] <khmerog_> quixotedon weird huh
[05:59] <khmerog_> i love brasero but weird how t doesnt erase your dvd-rw etc.
[05:59] <quixotedon> khmerog_: i tried xfburn and it works great, brasero has never worked since 10 version here.. :(
[05:59] <Opus_Major> how do i find what process is running on a port
[05:59] <khmerog_> even thumb drives it cannot erase
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+format+dvd-rw+command+line    is all I used
[06:00] <khmerog_> so what do u use for everyday burning? to discs?
[06:00] <quixotedon> khmerog_: xfburn.. :)
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: I know xfburn can blank disks, there are billions of commands, so having a site with them ALL is unfeasible
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: i use xfburn for burnig but its incredibly rare that I use optical media these days
[06:02] <dr_willis> Zzzssss:  the apt-get command has options to purge all configs, or reinstall them.
[06:03] <dr_willis> !apt | Zzzssss
[06:03] <khmerog_> dr_willis whos question are u answering?
[06:03] <khmerog_> ohh nevermind
[06:04] <dr_willis> ;)
[06:04] <khmerog_> if i uninstall a software like vlc does it delete all my personal settings like preferences?
[06:04] <dr_willis> apt does not touch settings in the users home dirs.
[06:04] <khmerog_> becuase on my laptop i have sound but vlc doesnt have any audio when playing media
[06:05] <dr_willis> that would be 'bad' if it did that
[06:05] <starkz> Hello, does somebody knows what i have to do, if i am trying to run a daemon, but when i am trying to run the daemon, i am getting this kind of error: http://pastebin.com/Y8Z8Tunf <- somebody knows what i have to do ?
[06:05] <dr_willis> vlc has specific audio output options.
[06:05] <khmerog_> so i have to use other apps like totem and movie player, sigh
[06:05] <khmerog_> dr_willis i tried them all and still no audio
[06:06] <dr_willis> run vlc from terminal, look for error messages
[06:06] <khmerog_> so i gave up was thinking of reinstalling it next time i use my laptop
[06:06] <starkz> Does somebody knows how to install the module "_psutil_posix" ?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: uninstalling an app only removes the app, the settings in $HOME will still stand
[06:06] <dr_willis> 'reinstalling to fix things' is a windows habbit. ;0
[06:06] <khmerog_> what if i delete those settings in HOME?
[06:06] <krish_> hi there
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: then when you rerun the app you will get default settings
[06:06] <khmerog_> lol yep
[06:07] <dr_willis> khmerog_:  make a new user see if it works for them. if so that would point to a user setting issue
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> khmerog_: are you running VLC as root by any tiny chace?

[06:21] <starkz> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> starkz: are you playing with this: psutil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/psutil/_pslinux.py

[06:23] <starkz> Failed to load resource reporting module, functionality disabled. (can't find module '_psutil_posix')
[06:23] <starkz> weird :-p
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> starkz: and do you have all the deps of the server installed?
[06:23] <starkz> I aint sure, i dosen't have that kind of problem before now.

[06:56] <wilee-nilee> vexaxv, Install the kubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:57] <drvanon> guys please help me
[06:57] <drvanon> rebooting doesn't work
[06:57] <AntiSol> taptaptap... is this thing on?
[06:58] <vexaxv> wilee-nilee, how?
[06:59] <wilee-nilee> vexaxv, Never used kubuntu, but there must be a software install area in ubunru it would just be sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:00] <wilee-nilee> s/ubunru/kubuntu
[07:00] <vexaxv> and thats supposed to install flash?
[07:01] <vexaxv> yepp it will
[07:01] <vexaxv> but will it work..
[07:01] <wilee-nilee> draven, Unity is a plugin in compiz, you are just removing stuff without checking if this is going to be a wise idea.
[07:01] <vexaxv> cause ive installed the same in muon
[07:01] <proxinix> I'm on Kubuntu
[07:02] <Marzata> is Slitaz an Ubuntu based distro?
[07:03] <wilee-nilee> vexaxv, flash in a browser right
[07:03] <wilee-nilee> Marzata, no
[07:03] <Marzata> a Debian based?
[07:03] <vexaxv> thanks it works
[07:03] <vexaxv> wilee-nilee, ty it works and yes
[07:03] <bazhang> Marzata, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions?
[07:04] <Marzata> bazhang: not at the moment, sorry.
[07:04] <bazhang> Marzata, ask those questions in the correct channel: either #ubuntu-offtopic or search using alis
[07:05] <bazhang> !alis | Marzata
[07:05] <Marzata> bazhang: thank you
[07:08] <AntiSol> hai there! I'm running through an odd proxy config and want to make sure this is working, can somebody please confirm that they can see this text? :)
[07:09] <alusion> How do I stream VLC from ubuntu or  make it a VLC server?
[07:10] <reason> hey guys "if it's possible" can you lead me in the direction of installing a vitual box in my ubuntu to run my win 7 part from?, i hope i dont have to install win again within a virtual box.
[07:10] <AntiSol> nothing... not a thing?
[07:10] <reason> partition*
[07:12] <AntiSol> reason: firstly, you'll want to 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox' in a terminal to install virtualbox. Once it's installed you'll see "virtualbox" in the menu. It's far far simpler to just install windows again inside your VM, though it's possible to take an image of your windows partition and run that inside your VM.
[07:12] <Drajwer> reason: most likely it wont work
[07:13] <babycapsule> read-only?
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> alusion: could use samba, its a bit easier
