[05:50] <kartook> i dod sudo apt-get install compiz*
[05:50] <Cheery> I tried to do losetup -P while ago.. but util-linux is too old in ubuntu
[05:50] <Cheery> when are you going to fix this problem?
[05:50] <Munkyman587> hey guys
[05:50] <L3top> linusasus6: I go back to hardware problem. I realize that it occurred while you were at a streaming site, but... hardware doesnt go bad till it does. Can you disable the touchpad and plug in another mouse?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> kartook: then you have ccsm and can use it
[05:51] <kartook> okie
[05:51] <Cheery> hi Munkyman587
[05:51] <kartook> i fely hard to use this one al lthe time
[05:51] <Munkyman587> I run a minecraft server on a 12.04 ubuntu install, and my drive just filled up with .xsession-errors.old
[05:51] <kartook> i always use simple-ccsm on oldversions
[05:51] <kartook> :)
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: have you reported a bug?
[05:51] <linusasus6> how do disable the touchpad
[05:51] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: I haven't.
[05:51] <Munkyman587> I have no idea what to do  =/  I am considering doing a fresh install just to solve it
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: keyboard shortcut maybe
[05:52] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: where to do so?
[05:52] <alusion> What command is it to add Cairo dock to startup? and how do I find the answer to this myself for future notice?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: then how do the devs know there is an issue?
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> !bug
[05:53] <linusasus6> dunno what a keyboard shortcut do with a mouse
[05:53] <SarahsButt> what does "Dependency is not satisfiable: boot-sav (>=3.18)" mean?
[05:53] <EargasmicGiant> so anyone know what lubantu iso i should get?
[05:53] <Munkyman587> how would I even remove the hidden file .xsession-errors.old ?
[05:53] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: probably in no way. except is an outdated package a bug?
[05:54] <EargasmicGiant> the iso's are as big as the one i have now 700 mb
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: look at the keyboard, there may be a shortcut to disable it, just as you can d
[05:54] <L3top> Cheery: what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:54] <Fyodorovna> EargasmicGiant, what is your goal here?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Disable other hardware
[05:54] <Cheery> L3top: trying to emulate SD-card with loop device.
[05:54] <L3top> Cheery: and what version of ubuntu are you on?
[05:54] <Cheery> L3top: trying to access partitions
[05:54] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, no need for the iso if you have ubuntu already installed, just install the package lubuntu-desktop
[05:54] <EargasmicGiant> to put linux on my old laptop that was built for windows 98 2000
[05:55] <EargasmicGiant> but its slow and choppy
[05:55] <Cheery> L3top: Linux ruttunen 3.0.0-19-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 19 19:05:14 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: report a bug and it may get updated
[05:55] <Cheery> does this say?
[05:55] <Cheery> uname -a
[05:55] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, so install the package as I just said
[05:55] <Fyodorovna> EargasmicGiant, if you have ubuntu installed.... as suggested you would just add the desktop.
[05:55] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: thanks. I'll do so.
[05:56] <Munkyman587> ='/
[05:56] <L3top> Cheery: -p reads the passphrase from a file descriptor, what is -P supposed to do?
[05:56] <linusasus6> no I see a thing to disable it but it dont work I can still move the cursor little bit with the touchad so is not disable
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> no i had windows 2000 on it and i wiped the 30 gb hard drive and installed ubantu
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> and its slow to respond
[05:56] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, install lubuntu-desktop then
[05:56] <Cheery> L3top: if the device has partitions, it should create things like /dev/loop0p1, p2, p3, p4
[05:56] <EargasmicGiant> updates take hrs
[05:57] <WulRadyansyka> EargasmicGiant: what kind of CPU it has?
[05:57] <Cheery> L3top: it's a recently added feature
[05:57] <EargasmicGiant> idk old
[05:57] <EargasmicGiant> it was originally built for windows 98 2000
[05:57] <mrec> I really wonder why canonical is permanently changing the touchpad mousehandling
[05:57] <mrec> not a single version has consistent handling
[05:58] <L3top> I see... Ok then... am just unfamiliar with that. Thanks for the info Cheery
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> !info util-linux
[05:58] <EargasmicGiant> i know ubantu says when i installed it it need 256 memory and thats almost all of the memory on my laptop
[05:59] <domo1> how can I grab sun java for my server?
[05:59] <Onixs> check kids doing various covers http://www.youtube.com/user/WeAreMent2BeSomebody?feature=guide
[05:59] <bazhang> Onixs, wrong channel
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> Wikipedia says 2.21 is latest, so not old at all cheery
[05:59] <wylde> !ot | Onixs
[05:59] <Onixs> yeah
[05:59] <Onixs> figured
[05:59] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: just enough to not include the -P :)
[05:59] <ferni> domo1: from oracle.com
[05:59] <linusasus6> I did a scan with clamav theres no virus
[06:00] <EargasmicGiant> and when i installed ubantu it took up all my 30 gb hard drive
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: you think I could compile my own package which would replace this one?
[06:00] <ubuntoo> which is more stable 11.10 or 12.04 Please tell if you have tested practically and have used both. Thanx in advance.
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: or find precompiled one somewhere
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: i couldve told you that ;-)
[06:00] <EargasmicGiant> thats what i have on my laptop is 12.04
[06:00] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: it avoids me writing one script so it'd be nice.
[06:01] <EargasmicGiant> but i think my laptop sucks its old
[06:01] <ferni> domo1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[06:01] <linusasus6> ActionParsnip theres not a command to fix this bug
[06:01] <EargasmicGiant> ok so everyones ignoring me?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Cheery: no reason why not, i suggest you run:  ubuntu-bug util-linux   and report the issues
[06:01] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, we told you how to install lubuntu
[06:02] <EargasmicGiant> ya and its the same as what i got
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: no key to disable touchpad?
[06:02] <Cheery> ActionParsnip: thank you
[06:02] <EargasmicGiant> any smaller linux i can use?
[06:02] <linusasus6> ya but it doesnt work
[06:02] <bazhang> EargasmicGiant, and an install of Ubuntu will not use 30gb unless you direct it to use that much space. so install the package, no need to chat here about it as this is support only
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> or do i just reinstall and use less space on my hdd
[06:03] <trent_> anyone know how i can get this " lib32ncurses5-dev "
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> EargasmicGiant: lubuntu, slitaz, tinycore, puppy
[06:03] <domo1> can I use openjdk in place of the official java safely?
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> puppy ok i heard of that
[06:03] <domo1> or is terrible
[06:03] <bazhang> domo1, sure
[06:03] <domo1> ok
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> domo1: sure
[06:03] <EargasmicGiant> i did tell it to use 30 gb but can i cvhange it or reinstall it
[06:04] <linusasus6> the cursor look like he took speed or redbull
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: did you try the bootoption I gave?
[06:04] <EargasmicGiant> great thx for no help
[06:04] <robertzaccour> sound is fuzzy when recorded. any suggestions?
[06:05] <robertzaccour> is there an app that would "normalize" audio recording?
[06:05] <linusasus6> what a boot option do with a cursor explain please
[06:05] <trent_> is there a ubunto guru in the house? cant locate  lib32ncurses5-dev
[06:06] <ferni> trent_: apt-get install libncurses5-dev:i386
[06:06] <bazhang> !info lib32ncurses5-dev | trent_
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: the boot option tells the kernel to behave differently, the kernel is the access to all hardware
[06:06] <wylde> !info lib32ncurses5
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> !find lib32ncu
[06:07] <linusasus6> so what I do alt+f2 ??? what else
[06:07] <wylde> uhhh, I found it using apt-cache easy enough....who taught ubottu to lie?! :P
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | linusasus6
[06:07] <trent_> E: Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev:i386
[06:07] <WulRadyansyka> you should not recommend puppy. they even managed to break iconv
[06:08] <bazhang> !ot | WulRadyansyka
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Trent_: try using software centre
[06:08] <rfm> robertzaccour: have you chased down all the analog problems that can affect recording?  Got a good solid common ground between the source and the sound card?
[06:08] <linusasus6> nothing pertinent there
[06:09] <Cheery> https://www.google.fi/search?q=ubuntu+util-linux+2.21 <- btw. I feel I smell a phish there.
[06:09] <robertzaccour> rfm, I don't even know how.
[06:09] <trent_> software center? im a first time user what/where is that?
[06:09] <ubuntoo>  which is more stable 11.10 or 12.04 Please tell if you have tested practically and have used both. Thanx in advance.
[06:10] <bazhang> ubuntoo, try livecds of both. no need for polling
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: Jesus! Hold shift at boot, when grub shows press E, add the option after the words: quiet splash    Press Enter toco
[06:10] <linusasus6> cursor getting worse and worse speedy gonzales is slower
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> To continue the boot
[06:10] <still> hi after /dev/dsp was blacklist, what is the replacement device name in /dev? thanks
[06:10] <rfm> robertzaccour: then you're probably screwed here.#ubuntu can at most deal with software problems, but if you're not sure you have a clean signal into the sound card, software can't help.
[06:10] <vulture> software center is like a app store  but it's free.
[06:11] <trent_> vulture got a link?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: both identical here as I don't use compiz :-)
[06:12] <ubuntoo> bazhang:  its good to get opinion before installing, live cd cannot compete with full installation. Its just for new users
[06:12] <linusasus6> I cant go anywhere now my cusor is posseded
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: i'd go for 12.04 as it is LTS
[06:13] <robertzaccour> there's nothing wrong with my sound card it records fine in windows, but is fuzzy in ubuntu
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: you don't need to 'go anywhere' you are manipulating grub which loads before ubuntu
[06:13] <ubuntoo> ActionParsnip:  thanx but just for tag lts?Have u used it
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: thats why i said to reboot...
[06:14] <_jon180_> in 12.04, how do i switch to unity 3d?
[06:15] <linusasus6> but how to restart computer without mouse and what command I enter after holding shift and press e
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: Precise? Yes since Alpha1
[06:15] <ubuntoo> ActionParsnip:  not alpha, i am talking about stable release
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: press ctrl+alt+t  and run: sudo reboot    try
[06:16] <Cheery> hmm
[06:16] <trent_> Anyone know how to get this im not seeing it in the software store eighter libncurses5-dev
[06:16] <Cheery> the precise has 2.20.. should I dist-upgrade?
[06:16] <wylde> ubuntoo: 12.04 is released, some of us used it during the alpha and beta stages to test and report bugs.
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: well, it means I've used it and now have the stable release. Think about it
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> Need some help with Crayon Phyusics
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> on 12.04
[06:17] <kamilnadeem> the game isn't launching?
[06:17] <Cheery> okay.. I guess I'll upgrade
[06:18] <Cheery> It'll mess up my system further.. but I guess I'll handle it. .)
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6: try ungluing your hand from the mouse and use the keyboard and commanine just a little. It will make your life easier
[06:18] <L3top> Cheery: one moment
[06:18] <ubuntoo> wylde: ActionParsnip Thanks, but i mean is it worth to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? I am seeking stability. Ubuntu is not fully stable on my coreI3 sandybridge desktop. Lot of stability issues
[06:18] <L3top> .20 does not understand the -P switch
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: what if you launch it from terminal?
[06:19] <_jon180_> how do i enable unity 3d?
[06:19] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, telling
[06:19] <fidel_> ubuntoo: at the end we cant tell you if 11.10 or 12.04 works more stable on your device
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> ubuntoo: i always clean install new releases
[06:19] <L3top> Cheery: 2.20 does not understand the -P switch
[06:20] <Cheery> L3top: oh okay. well it's still okay for me to upgrade
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> _jon180_: setup 3D acceleration and you can choose the 'Ubuntu' option from the login page
[06:20] <wylde> ubuntoo: it has run very stable for me ever since a few days into the beta1 stage. With only a few minor hiccups. But that's just my experience on the hardware I have.
[06:21] <L3top> Cheery: Sure... was just saying if you were worried about problems, and were only doing it for the upgraded package...
[06:21] <_jon180_> so "ubuntu" is definitely supposed to be 3d and not 1d, right?
[06:21] <Cheery> L3top: but you think I could get 2.21 from somewhere myself? without having to wait for upgrade teams?
[06:21] <ubuntoo> wylde:  thanx
[06:21] <linusasus6_> ok now my touchpad doesnt work anymore an the cursor stop glitching
[06:21] <trent_> anyone libncurses5-dev??
[06:21] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/963989/
[06:21] <ubuntoo> trent_: google it
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: all better now?
[06:22] <trent_> Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev:i386  ive been googling it all day
[06:22] <linusasus6_> ya no more touchpad he is dead or something
[06:22] <L3top> Cheery: dpkg-query -s reveals that it is an essential package. I really just wouldn't bother with it, and mount things manually
[06:22] <wylde> !find libncurses
[06:22] <wylde> trent_: drop the :i386
[06:23] <trent_> ubottu how do i install it? can you help a new user out?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: you need to install the package providing that file. Try changing directory to the folder containing the binary. The pwd may be important
[06:23] <trent_> haha
[06:24] <wylde> trent_: sudo apt-get install  libncurses5-dev
[06:24] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, ok trying
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: is that the desired outcome?
[06:24] <trent_> wylde Couldn't find package
[06:24] <linusasus6_> what do youmean
[06:24] <L3top> What version of ubuntu are you on trent_?
[06:24] <Cheery> L3top: okay
[06:25] <linusasus6_> the glich is fix but the touchpad dead
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: as I say. Is the current functionality of the touchpad as you want it?
[06:25] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, I am installing the game again this time from its deb file
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: probably better, deps will be hopefully sorted
[06:26] <kamilnadeem> :( still not launching
[06:27] <kamilnadeem> let me check what it says in terminal when I try it from opt
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> linusasus6_: if all is well, we can make the option stick
 holy crap dude i think it finally worked
[06:27] <ubuntoo> kamilnadeem: change desktop resolution. Try native resolution or some low resolution.
[06:27] <linusasus6_> I guess is maybe better like that a dead touchpad and a really great mouse
[06:27] <wylde> trent_: good stuff :)
[06:28] <trent_> im about to find out ill let you know in a sec
[06:28] <rinzler> how does one create an alias for bash?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: you may have to symlink later versions of the libs to fool your app into thinking you have the file it wants
[06:29] <kamilnadeem> Failed to execute 'crayon'
[06:29] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, how does one do that, also the game ran fine on 11.04 and 11.10 OTB
[06:29] <trent_> nope still says Couldn't find package lib32ncurses5-dev
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> rinzler: run:   gedit ~/.bashrc    you will see other aliases defined. Copy the format
[06:30] <rinzler> ActionParsnip: cool. Thanks!
[06:30] <z3ro3x> In Ubuntu 12.04 where does Empathy store it's chat logs?  I tried deleting them through Empathy by clicking View -> Previous Conversations -> Edit -> Delete all history -> All accounts -> Clear all.  But they remain in the log window.
[06:30] <linusasus6_> thank Idont know what we did and how the touchpad stop working but if it stay like this I guess is good
[06:30] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, The log http://paste.ubuntu.com/964003/ says some files are missing o.O
[06:30] <resting> i installed vsftpd..but hw do i set the user and pwd for the login?
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: it probably had the right numbered lib. Precise probably has a later version using a later number, so the game can't find it
[06:31] <wylde> trent_: I just installed it fine here ... hmm
[06:32] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, so what should I do to make it work?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: so what you do is make a link pointing to the newer lib but give the link the name your error gave. The file will be identical but the game will see what it needs
[06:33] <linusasus6_> a last question when the upgrade will start for ubuntu 10.04 the 26th of this month?
[06:33] <trent_> wylde after i installed it the first time i went back to reinstall some android stuff and it still says not found??
[06:34] <trent_> wylde from line #9 http://www.droidforums.net/forum/galaxy-nexus-development/193651-how-build-your-own-custom-rom.html
[06:34] <wylde> trent_: so when you installed it, it definately installed properly?
[06:34] <trent_> i think so hang on a sec ill reinstall it and tell you what it said
[06:34] <kamilnadeem> ActionParsnip, I am sorry brother but I don't know how does one do that?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: so if you have libjpeg.so.69 in /usr/lib but your game wants libjpeg.so.62  you would run: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.69 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62     and it will f
[06:35] <trent_> Reading state information... Done libncurses5-dev is already the newest version.
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Will fool the app
[06:35] <kamilnadeem> trying
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: obviously this is an EXAMPLE, your filenames and locations may be different
[06:36] <wylde> trent_: ok, well that's all I can assist you with. You should be seeking support from droidforums.
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> kamilnadeem: i suggest you use locate to find the file to link to
[06:37] <trent_> wylde its a common string on several forums thanks thou guess ill just give it a try
[06:38] <wylde> trent_: it's not an official ubuntu project, so it isn't supported here.
[06:39] <pungi-man> what are the criteria to become developer of Ubuntu??
[06:40] <trent_> wylde thank again
[06:40] <wylde> pungi-man: http://developer.ubuntu.com/
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> Thanks
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> I will tryit later
[06:41] <linusasus6_> the sound is not in the headphones anymore also, what have we done please

[06:47] <RexHaviK> i installed 'prelink' and have initiated the process finally error free, the question is, how do i tell or get an indication that i am infact running in a 'prelinked' mode?
[06:48] <ghil> Oy
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> !info prelink
[06:50] <ghil> her...rather weirdly, unity 3D isn't showing anymore. I was trying Gnome-shell, which was really really slow (there's something wrong that's for sure) and when I tried to get back to Unity, the dash and the top bar wouldn't show.
[06:50] <ghil> but unity 2d works really well.
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> RexHaviK: maybe 'man prelink' in terminal?
[06:51] <lotuspsychje> ghil: is your pc up to date hardware?
[06:52] <ghil> I have an Asus G60jx, so it's rather up to date. Unity 3D was working perfectly before.
[06:52] <bobbyaldol> hey guys how to reset the password for mysql
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> ghil: on ocelot?
[06:52] <ghil> 12.04
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> ghil: no i mean (before=ocelot)?
[06:53] <ghil> oh no, fresh install of 12.04
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> ghil: is that an ati or nvidia?
[06:53] <ghil> nvidia with up to date xorg/drivers.
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> ghil:so you installed nvidia-current?
[06:54] <L3top> bobbyaldol: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix
[06:54] <ghil> I'm on 302.07
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-current
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> ghil: try this
[06:54] <ludkiller> bobbyaldol try this http://bit.ly/IHpPhV
[06:55] <ghil> I'm one more than the current.
[06:55] <ghil> and it was working fine all day, until I tried Gnome-shell.
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> ghil: ok strange, maybe walk around /var/log/syslog to see some errors
[06:55] <ghil> yeah I'll try that.
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> ghil:maybe gnome shell changed a conf somewhere
[06:56] <ubuntoo> ghil:  is 12.04 super stable or just normal? I want to know as i am also planning to switch to 12.04
[06:56] <ghil> that's what I'm thinking.
[06:56] <ghil> ubuntoo: so far, it's rock solid.
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> ubuntoo:for me its also running very smooth
[06:57] <ludkiller> hey whats the olderst linux based OS
[06:57] <ludkiller> ?
[06:57] <ghil> the oldest distro still active you mean?
[06:57] <ghil> or a derivative of linux?
[06:57] <ludkiller> ya
[06:57] <ubuntoo> ghil:  Have you tried 11.10? If yes, which is more stable?
[06:57] <ghil> 12.04 so far ubuntoo.
[06:58] <ubuntoo> ghil:  thanx
[06:58] <L3top> !poll | ubuntoo
[06:58] <ludkiller> distro still active and please tell me about the stability of ubntu 12.04
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> ludkiller: precise is very stable for me
[06:58] <ghil> ludkiller: I'd wager it's between Slackware, Debian and Red Hat.
[06:58] <ghil> Mandrake came pretty early too.
[06:59] <ubuntoo> ubottu:  okay, can u tell what does bots mean. I have heard this word for games too????
[06:59] <ghil> bots are programs.
[06:59] <ghil> they check for triggers and respond to them according to their programmation.
[06:59] <llutz_> !ot | ludkiller: slackware it is
[07:00] <ludkiller> k thanks
[07:00] <ludkiller> :)
[07:00] <ghil> well...Unity's not working anymore. I always wanted to try KDE anyhow.
[07:01] <L3top> KDE is very stable.
[07:01] <ludkiller> gnome is good too
[07:01] <linusasus6> ok sound fix cursor reglitch maybe it is the linux 3.0 on 2.6 it have no glitch no touchpad on 3.0 touchpad work
[07:01] <ghil> I'm an Openbox guy normally.
[07:02] <ludkiller> ya triggers like hi
[07:02] <ludkiller> u can program bots using mIRC i think
[07:02] <APoulos> Hello all, if someone here is knowledgable about PPAs and can help me with my issue - please mention my name.
[07:02] <L3top> linusasus6: do me a favor... boot to a live disk and tell me if the problem persists. I will say again, this sounds like the HW is the problem.
[07:03] <Kartagis> !ask | APoulos
[07:03] <SmoothSage> !patience
[07:03] <ludkiller> !patience
[07:03] <SmoothSage> :P
[07:04] <APoulos> Kartagis: I wanted to give patience to one of the higher up members of the IRC to help me, I wasnt meaning to ask to ask a question
[07:04] <ljsoftnet> whats the command to make fmtools run the fm tuner?
[07:04] <ludkiller> !ot APoulos
[07:04] <linusasus6> so it may explain why the ntfs partition disapear from the grub
[07:05] <APoulos> ludkiller: please, its not off topic
[07:05] <APoulos> thanks
[07:06] <ludkiller> APoulos "Trophy Earned: No Offtopic Discussion"
[07:06] <ludkiller> :)
[07:06] <ljsoftnet> when i turn on fmtools and run fm 99.5 65535 on the terminal, it makes a sound on the station for a split second and turns off its not consistent, how do i make it consistent
[07:06] <ludkiller> lol
[07:06] <L3top> APoulos: you have not asked a question, you are just chatting. Please... state your issue and ask an actual question.
[07:06] <danny> alt tab closes out my opend windows how do i get alt tab to jsut swicth regualary
[07:06] <ghil> oh I found my problem. o.O
[07:06] <ghil> something removed ubuntu-desktop. o.O

[07:08] <ljsoftnet> when i turn on fmtools and run fm 99.5 65535 on the terminal, it makes a sound on the station for a split second and turns off its not consistent, how do i make it consistent
[07:08] <APoulos> Here's what ails me.  I used the program Y-PPA-Manager by Webup8team, which backs up my PPAs, the problem I'm having happens when I try to restore them, they don't show up in the software center - so what I did was I manually added them via software center as such "deb blahblahblah/blah/blabla/my_ubuntu_version_here main" which makes them browseable and displayable in the software center but not the ppa manager
[07:09] <linusasus6> ok pysdm is install then what
[07:09] <ludkiller> i am using 11.XX distro of Ubuntu and getting an Error While running apt-get update
[07:09] <APoulos> I asked the guy who manages the launchpad about the issue and he told me to run the following commands "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ - which only returned 2 repos - not the ppas
[07:10] <APoulos> so what I'm not understanding is, whats the difference between adding them as ppas instead of adding them manually to the sources list?
[07:11] <APoulos> he said that "I'm adding the PPA's complete deb line instead of the PPA itsself - so what should I do?
[07:11] <llutz_> APoulos: "grep -r ppa /etc/apt/source* "
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6: open a terminal and type sudo pysdm
[07:11] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, two different places ifn you use the pa install it goes to the list.d
[07:11] <Fyodorovna> *if
[07:12] <L3top> APoulos: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> linusasus6:then change all ntfs drives to 'mount' and reboot
[07:12] <llutz_> APoulos: i guess you added it to /etc/apt/sources.list instead
[07:13] <APoulos> L3top Fyodorovna llutz_ so I added the complete deb to the sources list instead of the PPA itsself?
[07:13] <llutz_> APoulos: does your sources.list show any ppa-entries?
[07:14] <danny> plz someone point me in the right direrction alt tab is not working it closes my opened ap
[07:14] <APoulos> llutz_ can I pastebin the output?
[07:14] <llutz_> APoulos: i have no www here, just answer yes/no
[07:15] <APoulos> llutz: what does that mean?
[07:15] <APoulos> llutz_: are you saying you have no way to browse the net and look?
[07:15] <llutz_> APoulos: thats it
[07:16] <llutz_> APoulos: "grep -r ppa /etc/apt/source* "   any entries shown in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[07:16] <APoulos> llutz_ yes
[07:16] <karthick87> I have given this command to restrict users changing wallpapers "gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/Amitabh.png" But how do i revert back these changes ? Can anyone help me pls ?
[07:16] <llutz_> APoulos: remove them, put them into single files for every ppa under sources.list.d/
[07:16] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:17] <zebe42> how do you tell what audio driver/deamon is being used. ubuntu 12.04
[07:17] <APoulos> llutz_ could you phrase that differently? most of the entries I see here look like this: "/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/y-ppa-manager/ubuntu precise main"
[07:18] <jarco> hello, I installed ubuntu. Now I am greeted with a black screen with a mouse pointer (I can move the mouse pointer). How can I make my gui appear?
[07:18] <Fyodorovna> !nomodeset | jarco
[07:18] <llutz_> APoulos: those ppa-entries shouldn't be written to /etc/apt/sources.list. they go to files in /etc/apt-/sources.list.d like
[07:18] <llutz_> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lubuntu-dev-staging-precise.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-dev/staging/ubuntu precise main
[07:19] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:19] <APoulos> llutz_: should I just nuke the source file then, and add them all back from scratch using the ppas?
[07:20] <llutz_> APoulos: however you like
[07:20] <jarco> Fyodorovna: i ll take a look. Thx
[07:20] <Fyodorovna> jarco, cool, no problem. :)
[07:20] <APoulos> llutz_: if I sudo rm my sources.list, will all hell break loose?
[07:21] <paulus68> does anyone know a good program to recover rar passwords
[07:21] <llutz_> APoulos: don't do that!
[07:21] <chk`afk> paulus68 - it usually involved bruteforcing the password and is very slow
[07:21] <llutz_> APoulos: sources.list holds the main distro-repos. just remove the ppa lines
[07:22] <chk`afk> if the password is long/includes special characters you may never "recover" it
[07:22] <chk`afk> involves*
[07:22] <paulus68> chk`afk: that's not a problem I just need a good program to do this ;)
[07:22] <chk`afk> ;)
[07:22] <zebe42> I'm trying to get audio working with virtualbox, I'm not sure what host audio driver I am using. Does anyone know how to find this out?
[07:22] <fidel_> hi - just reading about fedora17 & a multi-seat function. (english src: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/multi-seat ) - any idea if that will come to ubuntu as well?
[07:22] <APoulos> llutz_ wouldn't it just rebuild?
[07:23] <paulus68> chk`afk: do you know such a program?
[07:23] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I would some what disagree with the help here but if you nuke the source,list you will remove important repos, but these can be generated here. http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[07:23] <llutz_> APoulos: no it wouldn't (iirc)
[07:23] <fidel_> according to the article most likely not that fast
[07:23] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: could you PM me
[07:24]  * ubuntoo wants users to try mail.com if they want some nice domain names
[07:24] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I don't PM, sorry.
[07:24] <ljsoftnet> how do i use fmtools to play run my fm tuner?
[07:24] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: then what are your thoughts? I want to hear all courses of action before I select a single one
[07:25] <missuse> how to change dns server for my broadban
[07:25] <llutz_> APoulos: what's the problem? remove those lines from sources.list, add ppa either by using add-apt-repository or manually creating files under sources.list.d/
[07:25] <missuse> why is it so hard to change even the simple thing like that in ubuntu
[07:26] <zebe42> missuse: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:26] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, only that the ppa's have to be in the sources.list.d it is easier to see all together there but can be in the regular list afaik  if put in the regular list just lable a line ppa's witha # at the beginning of that line.
[07:26] <scar3crow> what's the most secure way to log into my computer remotely?
[07:27] <zebe42> scar3crow: ssh
[07:27] <jarco> Fyodorovna: Awesome Link. I booted into my gui now. Thanks mate
[07:27] <scar3crow> zebe42: ty
[07:27] <APoulos> llutz_:.... the output of your grep command - I just go through, line after line and search and replace those with nothing using a text editor?
[07:27] <Fyodorovna> jarco, cool update the OS and look in additional drivers for any missing drivers.
[07:27] <llutz_> APoulos: yes
[07:28] <xgpt> hello
[07:28] <xgpt> is anyone an xmpp/jabber user? I'd like to test something...
[07:28] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: thank you for your link btw, I'll keep that.
[07:28] <APoulos> llutz_: now - I must ask you, what is the best way to backup your system?
[07:29] <Fyodorovna> APoulos, I was just concerned over the removal of the sources.list content and that you had a way of geting it, a good resource .
[07:29] <APoulos> llutz_: that way I can prevent things from going completely wrong
[07:29] <APoulos> Fyodorovna: yes, I see your concern as I am still somewhat concerned of doing it myself -
[07:29] <llutz_> APoulos: there is no _best_ way. i prefer using rsnapshot to backup /home, /etc/ and parts of /var + a list of actually installed packages
[07:30] <APoulos> llutz_: say I wanted to make my own custom 12.04LTS iso that had everything installed for me that I previously had... what would I use?
[07:30] <llutz_> APoulos: no idea, you might google for "remaster ubuntu"
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> !info remastersys
[07:31] <APoulos> llutz_: tried that, remastersys practically messed up my system
[07:31] <APoulos> llutz_: it created a virtual swap of some sort that I couldnt remove
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> a fresh install would be good idea
[07:32] <APoulos> lotuspsychje: ive done about 3 of those this week. but I suppose 1 more wouldn't hurt
[07:32] <llutz_> APoulos: idk what remastersys does, i never had the wish to remaster something. i'm doing simple netinstalls and that's it
[07:32] <APoulos> APTonCD doesnt work either, doesnt restore the lib files you need.
[07:33] <APoulos> alright. I have to sort this out.
[07:33] <APoulos> goodbye until I'm finished
[07:33] <zebe42> I'm trying to get audio working with virtualbox, I'm not sure what host audio driver I am using. I have the choice of Pulse, ALSA, and OSS. I am running ubuntu 12.04 64bit desktop.Does anyone know how to find this out?

[07:42] <jayar> when i know i have a usb drive plugged in, how do i mount it via ssh
[07:42] <jayar> or how do i find if its even connected
[07:42] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar, you cannot mount a drive using ssh
[07:42] <jayar> yes you can
[07:42] <linuxfreaker> Hi Guys
[07:42] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: "lsusb" will list usb drives connected to your machine
[07:42] <llutz_> jayar: "fdisk -l"
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> generally you want to to do something along the lines of "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb"
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> you need to determine where your device is located
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> then mount it
[07:43] <jayar> yes
[07:43] <jayar> im just tryin to find out where it is
[07:43] <linuxfreaker> I am new to UEFI. Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4
[07:43] <ubuntuhelp_> thats easy to determine
[07:44] <jayar> just trin to know which dev/sd its on
[07:45] <test> Hi folks.
[07:45] <mmlevitt> test: hello.
[07:45] <ubuntuhelp_> sure one second
[07:45] <ubuntuhelp_> ill provide some instruction
[07:45] <jayar> test: hello response
[07:46] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar, have you tried the command "dmesg"
[07:46] <kanliot> there will also be a test later
[07:46] <test> Lol
[07:46] <jayar> holy crap thats alot of stuff
[07:46] <test> Whoops, hadn't realised I forgot to set my username :)
[07:47] <test> I'm running 11.10, and I really want to be able to run an application (in this case social media app) as a "locked" sidebar, so that other windows don't overlap it even if they're maximised. Any ideas? Kind of a Holy Grail for me for the last few months :)
[07:47] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: you need to find out from the output what /dev your device is on
[07:47] <ubuntuhelp_> jaytar: i promise the information is there
[07:47] <linuxfreaker> Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4

[07:47] <danbeam> hello! does anyone have a good recommendation for video capturing software? I'm desperately in need of a good one...
[07:47] <llutz_> jayar: "fdisk -l"
[07:47] <jayar> llutz: doesnt do anything
[07:47] <test> I'm fairly tech-savvy, happy to get into tweaking fairly deep configuration or compiling stuff...

[07:48] <ubuntu> \exit
[07:48] <llutz_> jayar: use sudo then
[07:49] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz: "fdisk -l" will not help him. This only works for mounted drives!
[07:49] <danbeam> video screen capture specifically for Gnome
[07:49] <android> hello all
[07:49] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: nonsense
[07:50] <zebe42> Is asking a question a fourth time bad manners?
[07:50] <zebe42> forth*
[07:50] <kanliot> go zebe42
[07:50] <zebe42> I'm trying to get audio working with virtualbox, I'm not sure what host audio driver I am using. I have the choice of Pulse, ALSA, and OSS. I am running ubuntu 12.04 64bit desktop.Does anyone know how to find this out?
[07:50] <jayar> only in a row, zebe42
[07:51] <kanliot> any should work zebe42
[07:51] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz_: he is trying to mount a usb or pci device. fdisk -l is useless. It is used for mounted drives or filesystems only.
[07:51] <JohnnyricoMC> and it's fourth, you were right the first time zebe42.
[07:51] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: nonsense
[07:51] <esak> i install ubuntu 12.04. after conneted to wireless internet. show this message when ubuntu is booting for long time." waiting for network configure"
[07:51] <llutz_> ubuntuhelp_: you want to read what fdisk is/does before you spread those stupidities
[07:51] <ubuntuhelp_> I guess you can't teach the ignorant
[07:52] <ubuntuhelp_> llutz_: "man fdisk" thanks.
[07:52] <jayar> sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/Flip
[07:52] <jayar> doesnt work
[07:52] <kanliot> shouldnt' it be sudo fdisk -l
[07:53] <Jordan_U> jayar: Do you know if this camera presents itself as a disk drive?
[07:53] <ubuntuhelp_> jayar: the sdd devices are usually numbered. are you sure its not sdd1 or sdd2?
[07:53] <jayar> oh sdd1
[07:53] <ubuntuhelp_> -_- yes
[07:53] <jayar> still says /media/Flip does not exist
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> go to /mnt
[07:54] <test> ubuntuhelp_ : Only on mounted disks?  You should UNMOUNT before using fdisk to avoid file system damage
[07:54] <llutz_> jayar: sudo mkdir /media/Flip
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> create a directory "Flip" using "mkdir Flip
[07:54] <esak> i install ubuntu 12.04. after conneted to wireless internet. show this message when ubuntu is booting for long time." waiting for network configure"
[07:54] <ubuntuhelp_> then mount it there
[07:54] <jayar> same
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> does lsusb show the device
[07:55] <jayar> how do i mkdir when its not even mounted..
[07:55] <Jordan_U> test: Name calling is not needed or wanted here. Please don't do it in the future.
[07:55] <danbeam> jayar: you're making a directory on your local disk so you can mount it there
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> you create a pseudo folder in either the /media or /mnt directory
[07:55] <ubuntuhelp_> then you mount it to that folder
[07:55] <jayar> well dang
[07:55] <jayar> it worked :)
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> bravo
[07:56] <jayar> ty
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> glad i could help
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> to unmount, you type "unmount /media/Flip"
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> do this before ejecting
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> etc...
[07:56] <llutz_> umount
[07:56] <jayar> werd
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> yes umount
[07:56] <danbeam> llutz_, ubuntuhelp_ never had to capture your screen in Ubuntu/Gnome?
[07:56] <ubuntuhelp_> sorry typo

[07:57] <zebe42> oksy, trail and error works, pulse audio didn't do it, but ALSA did :P
[07:57] <kanliot> !tab
[07:57] <llutz_> danbeam: nope
[07:57] <danbeam> llutz_: damn
[07:58] <kanliot> zebe42, trial and error is the offical linux way
[07:59] <kanliot> its pro
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who can suggest me regarding UEFI
[07:59] <llutz_> danbeam: if i need to record stuff, i simply use "script"
[07:59] <danbeam> llutz_: hehe, that works for text
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !anyone | linuxfreaker
[07:59] <zebe42> kanliot: true that
[07:59] <kanliot> linuxfreaker, why would you need to config ubuntu for uefi?
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> Any idea how to make dell server to support UEFI boot on Ubuntu v11.4
[07:59] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Though the first suggestion I would make would be to avoid UEFI if at all possible.
[07:59] <linuxfreaker> kanliot: Due to the requirement for the boot disk size over 3TB and application
[07:59] <robertzaccour> when editing in Kdenlive whenever I include a title clip, rendering fails. Any suggestions? BTW I know there's #kdenlive but you try getting a response there, especially at this hour.
[08:00] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: You can use GPT with BIOS just fine.
[08:00] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: But how about if with UEFI
[08:00] <kanliot> linuxfreaker, i think you are a bit confused, but i'm not 100% sure
[08:01] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: You can of course use GPT with UEFI, but why do you want to use UEFI?
[08:01] <kanliot> yeah why uefi
[08:01] <kanliot> never a reason to use it
[08:01] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Due to the requirement for the boot disk size over 3TB and application, I want to use UEFI
[08:02] <gh> curious, how to clear the privacy database in 12.04? because clicking "clear all" does not clear it? also disabling the logging does not disable the logging... why?
[08:02] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: your question is a bit ambiguous, but this may help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI-howto
[08:02] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: The requirement of the boot disk size being over 3 TiB can be met without using UEFI. I don't understand what you mean by "and application".
[08:02] <Sciottus> ciao

[08:04] <robertzaccour> when editing in Kdenlive whenever I include a title clip, rendering fails. Any suggestions? BTW I know there's #kdenlive but you try getting a response there, especially at this hour.
[08:04] <Jordan_U> ferni: What makes you think that it can't handle GPT? Booting via BIOS doesn't require the firmware to understand partition tables of any form.
[08:04] <ferni> Jordan_U: well tried formatting gpt -> did not find any bootable disks
[08:05] <Jordan_U> ferni: How did you install grub?
[08:05] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Thanks for the link. I am little confused..if thats link I need to follow for Dell Poweredge servers to boot ubuntu
[08:05] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: It says EDK II build environment ...what that is for?
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Whats the whole concept here about?
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: It seems it covers VM part..
[08:06] <ferni> Jordan_U: I discovered it when trying out fedora, it defaulted to gpt -> did not work. when i formatted it msdos, it worked. But dont know how fedoras installer installs the grub
[08:07] <Jordan_U> ferni: There are some buggy (mostly Intel) BIOS's which do for some reason look at the msdos partition table and check that a partition exists with a boot flag. Luckily all GPT labels also have a protective mbr containing an msdos partition table, so you can still mark the protective partition active and the firmware will happily boot from the disk (loading the bootloader from the mbr, as it should).
[08:07] <zmalex> hi. I have a problem repairing my jetty installation. apt-get remove says it's not installed while apt-get install says it is.
[08:07] <zmalex> I googled to find a fix but i'm out of luck.
[08:07] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: EDK II is just the environment and version control system that has been developed for EFI users
[08:08] <ferni> Jordan_U: havent tried with ubuntu, since this created msdos table. this is samsung 5 series with some phoenix bios / uefi
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Okie fine...so are we going to build custom firmware
[08:08] <Jordan_U> ferni: Fedora's installer markes a partition active by default when installing with an msdos label, but not when installing via GPT (because technically it's against spec to have an active partition in the protective msdos label). You can still mark a partition active yourself though and solve the problem.
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: and the custom UEFI firmware to be able to support Ubuntu 11.4
[08:08] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Correct?
[08:09] <Boothk> auronandace: Thanks, but i already enabled the canonical source. The problem I'm getting is apt-get spewing "407 Proxy authentication required".  (And remember, you do *not* need UEFI to have a 3+ TiB boot disk)
[08:10] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: thats the idea. your firmware can be ported all the way from 11.04 to 12.04
[08:10] <gh> I'm aware it's because of zeitgeist, but removing that does not solve the problem
[08:10] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:10] <ferni> Jordan_U: oh, well thanks for the info, have play around a bit if i decide to reinstall sometime in future. just though it was a bios, uefi/gpt worked fine
[08:10] <gh> it seems unity keeps that somewhere?
[08:10] <ubuntuhelp_> linuxfreaker: build instructions for setting up UEFI are on the website
[08:10] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Thats what I am required to do...please understand
[08:10] <Boothk> help needed with apt-get via proxy. authentication failing for some reason.
[08:11] <linuxfreaker> ubuntuhelp_: Okie I went through the link...
[08:20] <wookienz> hi, i have two nics. When the second nic omes up it adds a second default route that i dont want. How do i stop this behaviour?
[08:20] <SunTsu> wookienz: how do you configure it?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Since you are using a 3+ TiB disk Ubuntu's installer will use GPT for the disk (and would even on a BIOS based boot). I *think* that if you boot the install CD via UEFI the Ubuntu installer will install grub-efi as well, but that's mostly a guess.
[08:20] <krababbel> wookienz: When you give an address to a link, it seems to get a route automatically. You can delete it using 'ip route delete'
[08:20] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: So u guess it will work if installed it with UEFI option
[08:20] <Jordan_U> linuxfreaker: Correct.
[08:20] <linuxfreaker> Jordan_U: Let me try out and check it today
[08:21] <SunTsu> krababbel: of course it gets a route, that's how it should be, but it won't get a default route automagically, except you use dhcp or other magic stuff
[08:21] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:21] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[08:24] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:25] <robertzaccour> Whenever I include a title clip in video editing rendering fails. Any suggestions? This is in Kdenlive
[08:26] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: be patient. Asking the same thing twice a minute apart will help you nothing - except if your goal is to annoy people
[08:27] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: I'm waiting a few minutes apart after several people have entered the channel, and I figured surely out of hundreds of people there's kdenlive users that are using 12.04. ya dig?
[08:28] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: well, believe me or not, it's up to you, you just made me be even more annoyed, congrats.
[08:28] <Naeblis> I'm looking for a alarm/notification software, for scheduling my daily time table. Any good recs?
[08:29] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: There is an ignore feature. If you would rather complain about users needing help than feel free to use it. This is a help channel BTW
[08:29] <krababbel> SunTsu: Ah, default route.
[08:29] <SunTsu> robertzaccour: well, if you beg to be on it: so be it
[08:29] <llutz_> robertzaccour: did you ask in #kdenlive ?
[08:29] <robertzaccour> llutz_: of course, and its hard to get a response there at any time of day, especially at this hour.
[08:31] <robertzaccour> SunTsu: Like I said, if you'd rather complain when a user asks for help then it doesn't affect me if I'm on your ignore list. It actually may hurt you if you need my help in the future so think about that.
[08:32] <vexaxv> hey guys, quick question what exactly does the command "sudo apt-get update" do? how come when i use this i get updates sometimes
[08:33] <sburjan> vexaxv: this shecks if there are updates for your system. if there, you get the update window
[08:33] <llutz_> vexaxv: it updates package information for available packages
[08:33] <SunTsu> vexaxv: it updates your package lists - i.e. queries your package repositories for them and they tell you what they have in stock
[08:33] <vexaxv> so how come when i get updates say i get 50 updates..i run it and sometimes ill get 51 instead
[08:33] <vexaxv> or 52
[08:34] <vexaxv> its almosst like i should be running that command before i update
[08:34] <richtroye> I get the idea that in the world of debs there's a two-step procedure for making your system current:  (1) update and then (2) upgrade
[08:35] <SunTsu> vexaxv: yes, of course. You need to do that before using apt-get upgrade - or use some graphical package manager to do that for you
[08:35] <isnnnn> vexaxv: you need to run update before upgrade
[08:35] <vexaxv> so that command updates the lists so i get the right upgrades?
[08:35] <SunTsu> vexaxv: exactly
[08:36] <richtroye> SunTsu Which step is the one that does the large downloads if necessary?
[08:36] <vexaxv> okay thanks guys
[08:36] <vexaxv> one more thing
[08:36] <vexaxv> anyone in here play second life? lol
[08:36] <richtroye> i haven't figured out what to do with my first life yet
[08:36] <vexaxv> lol
[08:36] <vexaxv> play second life and find out :P
[08:36] <SunTsu> vexaxv: this is a support channel. To talk about anything else, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:36] <richtroye> I'd rather code thanks
[08:37] <vexaxv> same i enjoy programming and k suntsu
[08:37] <vexaxv> cya guys thanks for the help
[08:37] <richtroye> SunTsu Which of the steps {update, upgrade} is the step that does the large download, if required?
[08:37] <ndee> I have the output of "pidstat -r" and I want to calculate the average process size. Is it possible with a command to trim all the spaces, so that in max, there is one space as a delimiter?
[08:37] <SunTsu> richtroye: packages are downloaded when doing apt-get upgrade
[08:37] <richtroye> thanks
[08:38] <SunTsu> ndee: you don't need to, just tell awk to use multiple (white)spaces as field separators
[08:38] <ndee> SunTsu, ah, I used "cut", gonna take a look at awk
[08:39] <SunTsu> ndee: awk can sum up on it's own, so awk is what you want anyway - or perl ;)
[08:39] <ndee> SunTsu, oh, perl is a beast :D
[08:42] <u19809> hi all, I use pan under kubuntu.  pan uses gnome keyring manager but when I ener my password it requests a password to access the keyring but the one I provide (which is the one used by kwalletmanager) does not seem to work ?

[08:49] <Joyland12> test
[08:50] <Joyland12> Hi all
[08:50] <zh> Hi
[08:50] <gaelfx> hi
[08:50] <Joyland12> This is the first time I am joining an IRC
[08:51] <psypher246> hello all, is there anyone here with some openvpn ssl cert generation experience? I am a bt stuck on something silly that used to work fine before 12.04 and all howtos say the same thing
[08:52] <SunTsu> psypher246: Please, ask what you want to know, straight to the point and with as many details possible
[08:52] <psypher246> cool,  I am having some trouble trying to run build-ca and keep getting error: http://pastebin.com/kn4kVBZX re openssl.cnf not being found etc. I have tired several howto's online and fixes for this error and none work
[08:53] <psypher246> the one fix is to run source vars as per ubuntu howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
[08:53] <psypher246> other fix is to run sudo su firts then . ./vars
[08:53] <Fudge> hi,  dont seem to be able to find where 'connect to server' can remember the session to add to bookmarks without editting .gtk-bookmarks
[08:54] <SunTsu> psypher246: well, I use tinyca or build certs using openssl directly
[08:55] <psypher246> SunTsu: :)
[08:56] <psypher246> SunTsu: thank you I will most definietly check that out
[08:58] <gaelfx> Fudge: what "connect to server" are you talking about?
[09:01] <Fudge> gaelfx  from nautilus, connect to server int he file menu where you can select a hostname ssh etc, gnome2 had an option to save the server info and give it a lable which would then be available from the bookmarks menu in nautilus
[09:03] <esak> ubuntu write message " waiting for network configuration" for long time when booting :( .
[09:03] <gaelfx> Fudge: can't you just use ctl+D once you connect?
[09:04] <SunTsu> esak: it's looking for dhcp. If you don't ned that: turn it off
[09:04] <Fudge> gaelfx  what does that do
[09:04] <gaelfx> Fudge: creates a bookmark
[09:04] <esak> suntsu how turn off it ?
[09:04] <gaelfx> Fudge: or there's the Bookmarks menu right around the File menu
[09:06] <SunTsu> esak: depends on how you configured it. Normally you ned to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:06] <Fudge> gaelfx  thats very helpful thank you
[09:06] <Fudge> :)
[09:07]  * nyuszika7h waves
[09:07] <gaelfx> Fudge: no problem
[09:08] <polishguy94> Hello! I've been using 12.04 for two weeks, sound has been working fine but yesterday my soundcard (CA0106) stopped working: it is detected, everything looks fine but It behaves like it was muted (but it isn't!)
[09:08] <esak> suntsu . i open interface white gedit. so how turn off it ?
[09:09] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: what does alsamixer reveal?
[09:09] <SunTsu> esak: how do you configure your network?
[09:10] <esak> suntsu im beaginer. i want solve problem. what do now ?
[09:10] <polishguy94> ThinkT510 - nothing's muted there
[09:11] <SunTsu> esak: well, answering my question qould be a good start. How do you configure the network you use?
[09:11] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: ah, so no MM?
[09:11] <Partyschaum> bls
[09:12] <you_> aj
[09:12] <polishguy94> ThinkT510: no MM
[09:12]  * nikolja Dobar dan
[09:12] <NoFact> dobar den
[09:12] <polishguy94> I have two soundcards, though, maybe the unused one was switched to default, how to check that?
[09:13] <NoFact> s
[09:13] <esak> suntsu i now used ethernet cable. but wireless isnot in network manager list
[09:13] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: might be f6 in alsamixer
[09:14] <SunTsu> esak: OK, you use network manager, that's what I wanted to know
[09:14] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: should say in the top right of alsamixer
[09:14] <fidel_> hi - is there another method then using 'last' to check the last login attempt of each defined user on an ubuntu-box?
[09:14] <polishguy94> That's weird
[09:15] <polishguy94> Now i realised that when I turn on alsamixer the tray icon says muted
[09:15] <SunTsu> esak: I'd use "auto lo" in network/interfaces, nothing more
[09:15] <ferni> polishguy94: hmm, what if you open the sound settings and toggle output volume off and on again. I've had couple of times situation similar that everytings seems to be fine but no sound and that solved the ting
[09:16] <ChesterX> hey guys, after i installed ibus to tipe chinese all my deadkey (^,´,`, etc...) got killed. is there a way of keeping ibus active and still enable them?
[09:16] <esak> suntsu i use it too. i pase content of interface file here.....auto lo
[09:16] <esak> iface lo inet loopback
[09:16] <esak> auto dsl-provider
[09:16] <esak> iface dsl-provider inet ppp
[09:16] <esak> pre-up /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf

[09:17] <FloodBot1> esak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:17] <ThinkT510> !paste | esak
[09:17] <esak> auto wlan0
[09:17] <polishguy94> ferni: doesn't work
[09:17] <polishguy94> I unmuted the tray icon but still broken
[09:18] <polishguy94> Is there a way to easily reinstall the sound drivers?
[09:19] <DracoZA> Question regarding printing, the tab "server settings" has been removed from 12.04 so where do I enable publishing of printers ?
[09:19] <esak> suntsu see content of interface file here .  http://paste.ubuntu.com/964227/
[09:19] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: sound drivers are in the kernel, it seems more of a config issue than a driver issue
[09:19] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: try reinstalling pulse
[09:20] <polishguy94> ThinkT510: apt doesn't find it
[09:20] <polishguy94> Did you mean PulseAudio?
[09:21] <ThinkT510> yes
[09:21] <SunTsu> esak: there's a auto wlan0, too, that prolly is what takes time
[09:21] <polishguy94> Do i need to restart the system before installing again or not necessarily
[09:21] <ThinkT510> polishguy94: not sure sorry
[09:22] <SunTsu> esak: and why do you use ppp dialin there? You could do that with networkmanager, too
[09:23] <pungi-man> does anyone know a good site or pdf file to learn python??
[09:23] <ThinkT510> pungi-man: #python
[09:23] <esak> suntsu . what shud do now ?? plz help me
[09:24] <pungi-man> thanks for the channel but I want to learn python from scratch?? I am familiar with programming!
[09:25] <DracoZA> Can anyone tell me if there has been a specific change to printer sharing in 12.04, everything was working without much config in 11.x and now nothing works, I cant see or connect to a shared printer
[09:25] <ThinkT510> pungi-man: the guys in #python can give great advice on how to accomplish that
[09:26] <SunTsu> esak: it does not seem to be dhcp, pppoe setup probably takes some time, and there's no way to speed it up
[09:28] <psypher246> pungi-man: udacity.com
[09:28] <steveccc> has anyone noticed lots of 550 errors over the last 24 hours - I am having problems sending mails from my google apps account
[09:28] <pungi-man> thanks psypher246 !!
[09:28] <psypher246> learn to program a search engine from scratch
[09:28] <psypher246> in python
[09:29] <psypher246> and other advance prograaming courses, all free
[09:29] <psypher246> it is awesome@!
[09:29] <pungi-man> its really a good site psypher246 !
[09:30] <psypher246> it's amazing, i finished that 3 weeks ago, doing web app dev now
[09:30] <esak> suntsu no way !! so bad.
[09:30] <ludkiller> ya ++ to psypher246
[09:30] <nyuszika7h> !lucid
[09:30] <psypher246> realy realy realy good, i can't stress it enouhg, if u want to learn to code, doit, just a few weeks at your own pace,
[09:31] <DracoZA> I dont know why I bother with Linux in an office environment just creates more work for myself
[09:31] <SunTsu> esak: I'd only use "auto lo" and do the rest using networkmanager
[09:31] <psypher246> pungi-man: start it now, you can cath the last 2 weeks up quick
[09:32] <acicula> DracoZA: best to discuss that in -offtopic unless you have a particular support question
[09:32] <nyuszika7h> Is #ubuntu+1 invite-only because there is no newer release than 12.04?
[09:32] <pungi-man> yeah I have already started it
[09:32] <DracoZA> acicula ive asked a question twice but no response
[09:32] <esak> suntsu my dhcp is on or off ?
[09:32] <pomeisl> hali
[09:32] <richtroye> I have a question.  I just found that on my ubuntu 12.4 with mplayer and smplayer installed, a video plays as a small image which on another machine (fedora 12) is resized to fit the whole window.  Mplayer used there too.
[09:32] <SunTsu> esak: it's off, there's no dhcp in your interfaces file
[09:33] <esak> suntsu after i connected wireless internet  it happen.
[09:33] <richtroye> Even when I type 'f' during mplayer play to go fullscreen, and it does go fullscreen, the image is still small and centered in that full screen.
[09:33] <acicula> DracoZA: i doubt anyone here can tell you of a specific change to the printer subsystem
[09:33] <richtroye> Video in question is captured from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEpFnyDBj8w
[09:33] <esak>  suntsu before connected wireless internet is was normaly
[09:34] <richtroye> Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to get the 12.4 mplayer to go large-image in this situation?
[09:34] <pungi-man> psypher246, thanks again!!
[09:34] <acicula> DracoZA: except that im sure it still uses cups
[09:34] <psypher246> pungi-man: pleasure
[09:34] <ajay__> gaa
[09:34] <ludkiller> psypher246 , any website like this one to learn Objective C and Assembly ?
[09:35] <ludkiller> theres one more website like coursera.org where i learn Cryptography
[09:35] <acicula> richtroye: you can change the video driver output of mplayer, or tell it to stretch the video. youll have to look in the man page on how to do that though
[09:35] <richtroye> acicula I know about the -aspect option but I haven't tried it.
[09:35] <polishguy94> I've reinstalled pulseaudio - there's still no sound and sound icon disappeared from my top bar
[09:35] <richtroye> trying that now
[09:35] <psypher246> well not sure but check this: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/05/02/harvard_mit_announce_free_online_classes/
[09:36] <richtroye> No difference
[09:37] <DracoZA> acicula certainly there would have been notice of an increase in questions/problems relating to printing, I have done a clean installation and a simple task such as sharing a printer doesnt work, the "server settings" tab under printer properties has vanished but when you go to the printer properties to try and enable publishing you get the message to go to "server settings" to enable publishing
[09:37] <DracoZA> which is no longer there!
[09:37] <ludkiller> thanks i will get updated regularly about that ...... thanks again psypher246
[09:37] <polishguy94> fucking linux, nothing can just work, there must always something get broken without doing anything. PIECE OF SHIT
[09:37] <acicula> DracoZA: hmm thats clearly not right
[09:38] <DracoZA> acicula thats what I thought
[09:38] <ajay__> hey all
[09:39] <ajay__> i just found a cool video
[09:39] <ajay__> just check this out
[09:39] <ajay__> Cool Futuristic Desktop by necopost
[09:39] <ajay__> on youtube
[09:39] <ikonia> ajay__: please don'tpost in here
[09:39] <FloodBot1> ajay__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:39] <ajay__> ok
[09:39] <ikonia> ajay__: this is a support channel, we are not interested in videos
[09:39] <ajay__> i need to know how to install this
[09:39] <ajay__> sure. i know
[09:40] <DracoZA> and the worst is I now have the staff in the office giving me crap because they cant print and of course linux gets blamed, it's already an uphill battle trying to implement linux in a MS environment and then to have printing issues...anyway im sure my ramblings are falling on deaf ears.
[09:40] <ajay__> could anyone tell whats the error in the program. the author is not available
[09:40] <ikonia> ajay__: error in what program ?
[09:41] <ajay__> please follow the link
[09:42] <ajay__> its on necopost [dot] com
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: I don't want to watch a video
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: just tell me the problem you want resolved
[09:42] <fg> Hi
[09:42] <ajay__> ok
[09:42] <ajay__> its based on conky
[09:42] <ikonia> ajay__: what's the problem you want resolved
[09:42] <ajay__> the configuration file has an error
[09:43] <ikonia> ajay__: what is the application called
[09:43] <ThinkT510> ikonia: like blood out of a stone...
[09:43] <ajay__> the name is conky-Tronn.. it is a  Tron like theme
[09:43] <ajay__> its on necopost [dot] com
[09:43] <fidel_> ajay__: ever considered asking in #conky?
[09:43] <ajay__> i tried
[09:43] <ajay__> as I'm so excited and want it now
[09:43] <fidel_> as it should somehow be morte conky related then ubuntu? just my feeling
[09:44] <ajay__> mm
[09:44] <ajay__> I gave up for a while and came here
[09:44] <richtroye> acicula I found the issue.  I had a second separate mplayer process running.  When I got rid of that, the video I was concerned about full-screened just fine.  Interesting behavior, an mplayer bug evidently.
[09:44] <ikonia> ajay__: conky-tron is just image files for conky
[09:44] <ikonia> it's just a normal conky install
[09:44] <ajay__> I installed conky
[09:44] <fidel_> its always a good idea to ask in the matching place - you wouldnt ask a bmw-seller for a benz either. anyway - good luck
[09:44] <acicula> richtroye: one mplayer just hogging the video out. you can set it to null explicitly
[09:45] <ajay__> and when I try to change the configuration to this file
[09:45] <ajay__> That he have posted in the website
[09:45] <Lazik> ajay__: wa this interface looks good
[09:45] <ajay__> yup!
[09:45] <ikonia> ajay__: if you are using someone elses config, you need to talk to that person about his config file
[09:45] <ajay__> that program goes into an infinite loop or something
[09:46] <fidel_> or troubleshooting that config using comments etc
[09:46] <ajay__> ok..
[09:46] <fidel_> anyway -> give #conky a try in addition to here ;)
[09:46] <ajay__> I thought you guys may have tried something like this
[09:46] <Fira> plop
[09:46] <anatole> plop
[09:46] <ikonia> Fira: anatole ?
[09:47] <MarKsaitis> how do u all find 12.04 LTS so far?
[09:47] <MarKsaitis> :)
[09:48] <ajay__> i never tried unity
[09:48] <ThinkT510> MarKsaitis: suprisingly good, need any help?
[09:48] <ajay__> its not because i hate it using..
[09:48] <richtroye> MarKsaitis I'm hating it less and less !!
[09:48] <ajay__> try cinnamon
[09:48] <Fira> no
[09:48] <MarKsaitis> ThinkT510, I guess not, I have installed it 2 weeks ago and kept upgrading, I just guess that I am all up to date
[09:48] <ajay__> best gnome 2 like gnome 3 interfaec
[09:50] <anatole> fnfjfjfj
[09:50] <richtroye> I got my twelve virtual workspaces by hacking a bit, arranged in a 3 x 4 grid in the workspace switcher, and I found how to set focus follows mouse, MarKsaitis -- those are always my two first hurdles.
[09:50] <fidel_> !ot > anatole
[09:51] <MarKsaitis> ;]
[09:51] <richtroye> It's so nice to think that in five years this system will still be supported !!!
[09:51] <fg> What differences between Integrated graphics and embedded graphics?
[09:51] <ludkiller> which program
[09:55] <somethinginteres> How do I install applications to my SSD? I have a 60GB SSD as my / partition but apps don't seem to install to the SSD? How can I make most of my apps install to the SSD?
[09:55] <ikonia> somethinginteres: apps will go where the package tells them to
[09:55] <alankila> somethinginteres: well where do the applications install if not on /?
[09:56] <zzz_> ?
[09:56] <zzz_> help
[09:56] <DJones> !ask | zzz_
[09:56] <somethinginteres> alankila: I guess it has to be installing on there... just not seeing any speed increases. Odd.
[09:56] <ThinkT510> zzz_: absolutely
[09:56] <ThinkT510> zzz_: explain
 ssd is your main disk ? I mean / ??
[09:57] <zzz_> ??
[09:57] <mrsuchyPL> zzz_ ?
[09:57] <zzz_> exit
[09:57] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: SSD is my main disk. It's my / partition.
[09:57] <zzz_> quit
[09:57] <Imrac> how do I add multiple ipv6 addresses to a single interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:58] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: booting is very quick. App loading, not really
[09:58] <Myrtti> somethinginteres: what other partitions do you have then?
[09:58] <somethinginteres> Myrtti: only /home
[09:58] <fg> My graphic card is Radeon HD 4200. In thes page: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx what item should i select? Desktop graphics, embedded graphics or Integrated motherboard graphics?
[09:58] <Myrtti> somethinginteres: and only one harddrive, the SSD?
[09:59] <somethinginteres> Myrtti: nah, different drive for /home
[09:59] <mrsuchyPL> somethinginteres I dont understand you. App dont install where you set or what ?and what is mean "App loading, not really" ?? :)
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> tak you're time and write a problem
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> take*
[10:00] <ThinkT510> mrsuchyPL: he means booting is quick but loading apps isn't
[10:00] <somethinginteres> mrsuchyPL: sorry, I mean that applications install but I am not noticing a fast loading speed from them I'd expect for an SSD
[10:00] <LgL> fg: try this one  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[10:00] <mrsuchyPL> I see
[10:00] <alkisg> 32 bit is still the recommented download? I thought in UDS it was decided to switch to 64 bit as the recommented one, does someone have any links to why the opposite was decided?
[10:00] <krababbel> somethinginteres: usually apps will load config from your home directory
[10:01] <somethinginteres> krababbel: Ah.. that might be it.
[10:01] <krababbel> somethinginteres: you probably could point ~/.config for instance to a partition on your SSD
[10:01] <airtonix> somethinginteres: really depends what it is...
[10:02] <krababbel> I'd guess
[10:02] <airtonix> somethinginteres: mozilla programs like to keep an sqlite database in your home folder
[10:02] <fg> LgL: Thanks. which item did you select?
[10:02] <Myrtti> alkisg: usage surveys revealed that a bigger percentage of users were on 32-bit than was expected
[10:02] <somethinginteres> airtonix: a good e.g. would be VMWare where SSD speed would be nice. I note it does have a .vmware folder in /home
[10:03] <alkisg> Thank you Myrtti, I also found a ML thread here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035054.html
[10:03] <alankila> Myrtti: you mean, incapable of using 64-bit OS?
[10:03] <airtonix> somethinginteres: not familiar with vmware
[10:03] <somethinginteres> airtonix: np
[10:03] <richtroye> I am having much trouble capturing the resize arrows, both corner and side, on a typical window in Ubuntu 12.4.  I'm running it under VMware Workstation 8, but I've never had such trouble with other OSes I run that way.
[10:03] <LgL> hd radeon 4xxx... but its same for all radeon
[10:03] <LgL> fg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[10:04] <LgL> check that out and folow it
[10:04] <LgL> :D
[10:04] <krababbel> somethinginteres: what do you mean? I guess putting the vm disk on the ssd would help.
[10:04] <richtroye> Is there a way to increase the border width by a pixel or two, maybe, so I can get a better purchase on those resizing arrows?
[10:04] <aviksil> I'm having issues with system tray icons in precise. many applications (e.g. xchat) does not show the system tray icon
[10:04] <krababbel> somethinginteres: but you can specifiy the folder for the disk files
[10:04] <airtonix> richtroye: hold alt, middle click then drag
[10:05] <aviksil> this was not the case for oneiric though
[10:05] <airtonix> richtroye: note: no need to aim for edges or corners
[10:05] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:05] <somethinginteres> krababbel: I might try that actually, thanks.
[10:06] <richtroye> airtonix Thanks, and I've just now found that smashing Alt-F8 helps too
[10:06] <Myrtti> alankila: I can't remember the details, sorry :-|
[10:06] <SunTsu> bubuz: use ssh's socks proxy
[10:06] <airtonix> richtroye: unfortunately gnomes resize and drag keyboard only shortcuts fail in comparison to kde
[10:06] <richtroye> All the same, those resizing arrows are flaky in the extreme and should be made unflaky either by removing them or fixing them
[10:07] <airtonix> bubuz: if you want a gui interface to managing ssh tunnels , try gstm
[10:07] <SunTsu> bubuz: -D
[10:07] <airtonix> richtroye: that's a problem on every single operating system i've come across though
[10:07] <bubuz> airtonix, not bothered about that, would rather CLI
[10:07] <airtonix> richtroye: at least linux has lazy grab to  resize and drag with
[10:07] <bubuz> SunTsu, please elaborate
[10:08] <richtroye> airtonix I don't know what middle-click is on my laptop, and the couple of things I tried with Alt didn't work
[10:08] <airtonix> richtroye: you can change it to right click instead of middle click with dconf-editor or gsettings
[10:08] <richtroye> airtonix Is that Alt-F8 thing called "lazy grab"?  Sounds apt
[10:08] <alankila> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-April/035088.html appears to say that 25 % of machines would fall out
[10:09] <alankila> I can not actually believe this is true, but I haven't read the mail yet
[10:09] <richtroye> I guess I'll just remember Alt-F8 for my own personal use
[10:09] <airtonix> richtroye: no the holding alt, then clicking to drag or resize in any of the general quarters of a window is what i refer to as 'lazy resize/drag'
[10:09] <richtroye> airtonix Oh okay.
[10:09] <SunTsu> bubuz: openssh has a socks proxy facility built in. Use -d <port>, put that  into /etc/apt/apt.conf and there you go
[10:10] <airtonix> richtroye: i don't think there is five minutes that pass each day where i'm not using those shortcuts
[10:10] <fg> LgL: Thanks. A useful page:). but i want to understand what type my graphic card is?
[10:10] <SunTsu> er -D it is, not -d
[10:10] <richtroye> Oh by the way, I'm an xchat developer, and I have a patch I'd like to test on 12.4.  Can someone point me to a cookbook on how to get and build a ubuntu source package, so that I can know and perhaps install the build prerequisites for xchat?
[10:11] <alankila> richtroye: apt-get build-dep xchat should get you started
[10:11] <richtroye> thansk AlanBell
[10:12] <alankila> the debian packages are typically build by some invocation like "fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch" at the package root
[10:12] <krababbel> Any solution to problems in gnome terminal with irssi?
[10:12] <ThinkT510> !source | richtroye
[10:12] <richtroye> alankila  Wow, that's pretty nifty!
[10:12] <alankila> oh yes, apt-get source xchat downloads and patches the source, too. I somehow forgot to mention that.
[10:13] <Imrac> how do I add multiple ipv6 addresses to a single interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[10:14] <krababbel> Imrac: tried adding address lines?
[10:14] <Imrac> krababbel yes, first thing I tried
[10:15] <krababbel> Imrac: You can do 'ip addr add' command
[10:17] <dubey> hello
[10:18] <Imrac> krababbel That works fine, but doesn't survive reboot. I tried 'up' and 'post-up' with ip addr and ifconfig add and it still wont re-add the ip addresses
[10:18] <Guest67068> Good ornig for all.
[10:18] <dubey> i have installed ubuntu 12.04 and trying to connect to my old server. It is now allowing me to login
[10:19] <krababbel> Imrac: it doesn't survive probably, yes. Sorry, no idea how to tell Ubuntu to do that. Probably a script thing?
[10:19] <Guest67068> I update my ubuntu 12.04 now, and the system not working in 3D mode after update, anyone have this problem?
[10:19] <bubuz> SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf file
[10:20] <Imrac> krababbel, yeah I suppose, just was hopeing for a more elegant solution
[10:22] <ghosthand> hello
[10:23] <dubey> any hind
[10:23] <dubey> hint
[10:23] <Lazik> "It is now allowing me to login" - so what's your problem?
[10:24] <dubey> Lazik: sorry, not allowing me to login
[10:24] <dubey> giving Permission Denied error. I am using .pem file to login
[10:26] <krababbel> Imrac: looks like aliases are also a method. Ubuntu seems to generally only support using network manager also.   http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/create-virtual-network-adapters-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[10:26] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:27] <DropsOfSerenity> nvidia's new driver has XrandR support!!! :O This is the best thing to happen for nvidia linux driver in years, i'm so happy.
[10:27] <DropsOfSerenity> woops thought i was in offtopic sorry.
[10:28] <polishguy94> Please have a look on my ubuntu log: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=34f9d5e5dcf331463d46a82235978064f81af8ba
[10:33] <sveinse> I'm running Natty and all of the sudden my wlan (iwlagn) does not support ad-hoc mode. iwconfig reports "operation not supported". This worked a few weeks ago...
[10:37] <bubuz> noone know the answer to my question?
[10:37] <savr> hi
[10:37] <savr> my dns isn't working with VPN
[10:37] <ikanobori> savr: Be sure to have the VPN push DNS options to clients over DHCP.
[10:37] <ikanobori> Like with dnsmasq or such.
[10:38] <savr> ikanobori, is that a server setting?
[10:38] <ikanobori> That is on the server side, yes.
[10:39] <bubuz> hi guys question. box A cant get through firewall to internet, but can get to box B which can get out to the internet. I need to be able to update and install things on box A. How would I go about an SSH tunnel allowing this?
[10:39] <savr> I'm using pptpd
[10:42] <SunTsu> bubuz: I already told you, nearly an hour ago
[10:43] <NikP> Hi
[10:43] <NikP> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is the best Ubuntu version
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> bubuz: if you run:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf     is it ok?
[10:44] <esak> nikp is not
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | bubuz shows how to make an SSH tunnel
[10:44] <bubuz> SunTsu, you didn't tell me you told me "ssh -D" and wouldnt explain further. sorry for cleaqrly being a fucking noob but thats not a full explanation in my book
[10:44] <NikP> I'm in school, even there it will use it
[10:44] <NikP> esak: Why?
[10:44] <esak> i have big problem nikp
[10:44] <fg> LgL: ?
[10:44] <SunTsu> !language | bubuz
[10:44] <bubuz> ActionParsnip, no.
[10:45] <bubuz> np, apologies.
[10:45] <NikP> esak: which?
[10:45] <esak> canu help to solve problem nikp
[10:46] <esak> i connected to  wireless internet. then alwayes i want enter to ubuntu show this message for long time" waiting for network configure" nikp
[10:46] <NikP> esak: I have a query with you
[10:46] <SunTsu> bubuz: I told you to use -D <port>, which creates a socks proxy, which you can put into apt.conf. Which part don't you get? Try to read ssh's manpage, read apt.conf's manpage, expedially the proxy part, try that and ask specifically if you run into problems
[10:47] <NikP> esak: Are you running Ubuntu on al Live CD?
[10:47] <SunTsu> especially even
[10:47] <esak> no  nikp. i install it
[10:47] <fidel_> esak: i had that issue as well - unfortunatly i dont remember in detail how i solved it - but i started googling for the 60sec error message and ended up echoing out a line in a config file
[10:48] <bubuz> SunTsu, there is no /etc/apt/apt.conf
[10:48] <bubuz> for a start.
[10:48] <SunTsu> bubuz: then create one. There is none by default, if you create one apt will honor it
[10:48] <esak> fidel_ can u help more
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> bubuz: you can make it, and it will be used
[10:49] <fidel_> esak: like re-googling for you? nop
[10:49] <LgL> fg: yes im here
[10:49] <fidel_> esak: if noone inhere answers - consider feeding your search-engine with the exact wait-message you see while booting
[10:50] <fidel_> esak: this will lead you to several forum posts handling that topic
[10:50] <esak> yes. plz. i search very . but cant solve this problem
[10:50] <slimcharles> can anyone help me with my proftpd server?
[10:50] <fg> LgL: I want to understand what type my graphic card is?
[10:50] <esak> fidel_
[10:50] <slimcharles> it always goes into passive mode after login, and then diconnnects
[10:51] <ptrkmj> isn't there /var/log/messages file in ubuntu?
[10:52] <fidel_> ptrkmj: i dont have it either here on 12.04
[10:52] <ptrkmj> cause i need to check it's contents but the file doesn't exist
[10:52] <ptrkmj> this should be some kind of system log
[10:52] <fidel_> syslog?
[10:52] <ptrkmj> maybe
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> fidel_: try:  dmesg | less
[10:53] <fidel_> ptrkmj: ActionParsnip means you with that ;)
[10:53] <LgL> fg: Mobility radeon HD 4xxx series
[10:53] <LgL> for notebook
[10:53] <esak> fidel_ i search and do several way. but have problem yet. can u help me
[10:53] <ptrkmj> ActionParsnip: no, dmesg lists kernel buffer not syslog
[10:53] <fg> LgL: Desktop Graphic?
[10:53] <fidel_> esak: i told you everything i am able to tell you without doing a search again myself
[10:54] <fidel_> so no - i am not willing to search for you at that point
[10:55] <SunTsu> esak: http://lmgtfy.com/ has a comprehensive guid on your topic
[10:55] <ThinkT510> SunTsu: please don't use that
[10:55] <LgL> fg: the driver is a bundle of alot of drivers.
[10:56] <Imrac> well if anyone was interested, found this work around to multiple ipv6 per interface http://goo.gl/C9qR5
[10:56] <SunTsu> ThinkT510: why?
[10:56] <ThinkT510> SunTsu: it is rude
[10:56] <LgL> do you have a laptop or a desktop?
[10:56] <bubuz> SunTsu, ssh -fCND localhost:1080 user@remoteboxthathasaccesstointernet
[10:56] <bubuz> then I set my firefox to use proxy localhost 1080 to connect
[10:56] <bubuz> but i still cant get any pages.. ?
[10:57] <fg> LgL: Thanks alot for your help:)
[10:57] <SunTsu> ThinkT510: so is urging others to search stuff because "you" don't want to
[10:58] <bubuz> any ideas?
[10:58] <SunTsu> bubuz: Did you try using an IP address? Maybe your dns server does not resolve everything
[10:58] <esak> suntsu http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration
[10:58] <SunTsu> bubuz: and: what kind of proxy did you setup in firefox?
[10:58] <ThinkT510> esak: don't do that
[10:59] <esak> fidel_ i searching this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=waiting+for+network+configuration
[10:59] <LgL> fg: no problem
[10:59] <bubuz> SunTsu, tried IP, no go. Manual proxy config -> HTTP proxy and us this roxy for all protocols checked
[10:59] <esak> thinkt510 do u know my problem ?
[11:00] <ThinkT510> esak: no, but lmgtfy.com shouldn't be used here
[11:00] <SunTsu> bubuz: it's no http proxy. It's a socks proxy, I wrote that multiple times already
[11:00] <fg> LgL: :)
[11:01] <esak> ok thinkt510
[11:01] <bubuz> ok well socks proxy is set to localhost and same port to
[11:01] <bubuz> SOCKS 5
[11:01] <SunTsu> bubuz: did you configure both proxy types?
[11:01] <sarthor>  Any one configure shorewall and LSM on Ubuntu-server, I have Ubuntu-server 12.04 installed. but do not know how to configure, Shorewall channel says "there is no .deb pkg, and you can Guess why there is only rpm " Any help please.
[11:02] <bubuz> SunTsu, ah ha - i had to clear all other options other than socks5
[11:02] <bubuz> working now
[11:03] <szal> sarthor: learn iptables
[11:03] <fidel_> sarthor: shorewall is in the 12.04 repos
[11:03] <bubuz> so in apt.cfg - what would I need to put in there to tell it to use the proxy?
[11:03] <fidel_> so i dont see why you would need to dl it from a project page in the first place
[11:03] <SunTsu> bubuz: well, of course, else you end up trying to use the wrong proxy type, which won't work
[11:03] <sarthor> fidel_, shorewll installed. but problem with LSM installation
[11:03] <fidel_> k
[11:03] <sarthor> fidel_, there is no .dep pakge.
[11:03] <bubuz> thank you SunTsu and thanks for your patience
[11:04] <szal> what is LSM?
[11:04] <sarthor> szal, http://lsm.foobar.fi/
[11:04] <t0rx__> L3top,  still not having any luck with that PPA, do you think I need a more customized xorg.conf than what X -configure puts out?
[11:04] <bubuz> SunTsu, how would I set apt.cfg to point to proxy then?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> or Linu Security Modules?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> x
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> ah
[11:06] <t0rx__> L3top, I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel from the ubuntu-x-swat PPA, did an X -configure, replaced "vesa" with "intel" but still get an X crash with "no screens"
[11:07] <fidel_> sarthor: so your issue is that shorewall itself is available via apt - but the LinkStatusMonitor not. checked if that additional thing has maybe a ppa somewhere?
[11:07] <SunTsu> bubuz: just read about that, you need to use tsocks: tsocks apt-get update for example. apt doesn't know how to handle socks on it's own
[11:07] <fidel_> or considered (never used that function) to transform the .rpm to a .deb? which should be possible in theory
[11:07] <sarthor> fidel_, one can not install lsm via that comand. I asked in shorewall chan too
[11:07] <bubuz> ok thx
[11:08] <bubuz> grrr but I cant apt-get isntall tsocks
[11:08] <bubuz> lol
[11:08] <fidel_> ok i give up ;)
[11:08] <sarthor>  but John Cena never given up.
[11:08] <SunTsu> bubuz: ob course not. Just download it manually and scp it there
[11:09] <t0rx__> Can anyone help me get my GMA3600 card into 3D mode?  / Using a better driver than vesa?
[11:09] <bubuz> yeah thats what am doing, thx SunTsu
[11:09] <bubuz> :)
[11:10] <SunTsu> bubuz: apt-get --print-uris install socks5
[11:10] <SunTsu> er tsocks is what I mean

[11:12] <KM0201> shape: you don't see your windows partition at all?
[11:13] <shape> KM0201, correct, using the window manager, however I can see it in fdisk
[11:13] <t0rx__> GMA3600 driver help anyone?
[11:13] <qEssence> anyone knows the internal name of gnome-shell? im tryng to call it from .xsession archive.
[11:13] <KM0201> shape: open a terminal and sudo update-grub2   and see what happens
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> shape: if you run:  sudo update-grub   does it show the XP OS?
[11:13] <martin__> since yesterday i have a problem with xfce4-power-manager in precise. it runs but doesn't seem to answer to dbus messages. i can't change the power settings and the panel battery applet doesn't start
[11:14] <shape> KM0201 ok I will do that, I'll be back ActionParsnip thanks as well!
[11:14] <shape> KM0201, it doesn't
[11:15] <KM0201> hmm

[11:16] <shape> and memtest
[11:16] <qEssence> Well MonkeyDustm , thanks, but that does not answer my question :)
[11:16] <qEssence> I need the internal name of the session, i.e: gnome-fallback
[11:17] <qEssence> But the gnome-shell one :)
[11:17] <jrib> qEssence: why don't you check what the session file for gnome-shell does?
[11:18] <rawiramdhan> I have a problem with parted, someone experience with that?
[11:18] <qEssence> jrib: I think i dont know how to do that, im sorry.
[11:19] <jrib> qEssence: most (all default?) X session files live in /usr/share/xsessions/
[11:19] <hellknight> how does Ubuntu work on the AMD Zacate series processors/APU
[11:19] <qEssence> thanks jrib
[11:19] <jrib> rawiramdhan: you should be more specific
[11:20] <rawiramdhan> @jrib, i'm trying to use clonezilla

[11:21] <dominik> Hi everyone. I've got some audio trouble. I have broken Jack3.5 port on my laptop. It's works fine, but it cannot recognize if is jack plugged in or out but it sometimes getting signal if i move a cable. I solved problem by disabling Auto-Mute on alsamixer and i made keybord schortcuts. Now after upgrade to new kernel and entire system (11.10 -> 12.04) Auto-mute option nothing changes. It's disabled but it works. Have someone any idea?
[11:21] <jrib> shape: can you actually see your windows partition in gparted?
[11:21] <imetallica> any issues when updating from 11.10 to 12.04?
[11:21] <jrib> !notes | imetallica
[11:21] <hellknight> imetallica, no problems
[11:22] <Lipu> I am here just to inform some solution about the dhcp client
[11:22] <troulouliou_dev> hi i have nautilus-clamscan installed , but i don't have the scan for virus menu in nautilus context menu , can anybody help ?
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> Lipu  it helps if you started with a question
[11:22] <imetallica> jrib, hellknight: thanks
[11:22] <shape> jrib, yes and it's with an exclamation mark and it says unknown
[11:23] <jrib> shape: can you mount it?
[11:23] <shape> jrib, no, it only has "unmount" and it's greyed out
[11:23] <jrib> shape: what happens when you try to mount it?
[11:23] <shape> jrib, I don't have that option.
[11:23] <Lipu> I was facing some problem few days ago and come here to know the solution but after that I found the problem and the got the solution by own, that was about the the dhcp client cannot getting DNS information automatically
[11:23] <jrib> shape: use a terminal
[11:24] <shape> jrib, okay this might take me some time because I don't know how to do that
[11:24] <ThinkT510> !yay | Lipu
[11:24] <jrib> shape: pastebin output of « sudo fdisk -l »
[11:24] <shape> jrib, okay
[11:24] <Daghdha> Hi, i use unity 2d. Is there any way i can move apps from workspace to workspace with the mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts?
[11:25] <Daghdha> Perhaps even a small workspace preview for in the top bar, like there was in the bottom of the old gnome desktop
[11:25] <KM0201> Daghdha: right click the window and choose the workspace you want it on
[11:25] <Daghdha> sigh
[11:25] <Daghdha> I aske dit few days back too, forgot already
[11:25] <KM0201> did i misunderstand what you're asking?
[11:25] <shape> jrib, http://pastebin.com/jDhPwVc2
[11:26] <Daghdha> No KM
[11:26] <KM0201> oh
[11:26] <jrib> shape: pastebin output of « mount »
[11:26] <Daghdha> It just doesn't work when the app is maximized. Thanks,
[11:26] <Lipu> the problem with the configuration "request" of the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.conf
[11:26] <shape> jrib, okay, it might take me a bit because I have to look up how to mount from terminal
[11:26] <Daghdha> I'd still perform oldschool way though, so if there's a way of adding that i'm listening :)
[11:26] <jrib> shape: no just run « mount »
[11:27] <Daghdha> in gnome i just ahd the tiny workspaces in the bar. And i could even drag apps from workspace to workspace there
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> Lipu  start from the beginning, what have you done and tried before you came here for help - and what is it you want to do
[11:27] <Lipu> I just add the "domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name" those line at the request section and the problem is solved then
[11:27] <shape> jribm, http://pastebin.com/UMt2qGPC
[11:27] <Lipu> that's to every one byeeeeee
[11:28] <ThinkT510> MonkeyDust: i think he is explaining how he solved a problem
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> oh :)
[11:28] <Lipu> yes I am just here to share how I solved the problem
[11:28] <shape> jrib, I tried mounting it and it says "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS."
[11:28] <Lipu> :)
[11:30] <jrib> shape: out of curiousity, what does « swapon -s » return?
[11:31] <rawiramdhan> I guess parted doesnt like my ext4 partition
[11:31] <shape> jrib, btw I just noticed in gparted that the partition has a boot flag
[11:31] <shape> swapon -s /dev/sda6                               partition	6417404	0	-1
[11:31] <jrib> shape: just « swapon -s »
[11:32] <shape> jrib, yeah that's what I did
[11:32] <shape> jrib, and that's what I got back
[11:32] <jrib> shape: ok
[11:33] <zamba> how do i launch the system settings from the cli?
[11:33] <zamba> the launcher idiot thingy has gone away and there's no way for me to get it back
[11:33] <go8765> 2hello. after upgrade my x-server dont work. can anybody help me with this please?
[11:33] <Daghdha> try using the ubuntu button at the top and type settings?
[11:33] <Daghdha> ^^ Zamba
[11:34] <zamba> what ubuntu button?
[11:34] <jrib> shape: don't know what you can do at this point
[11:34] <ThinkT510> zamba: unity --reset
[11:34] <shape> jrib, should I disable the boot flag in gparted for that partition?
[11:34] <zamba> ThinkT510: didn't work
[11:34] <jrib> shape: I don't think that will matter
[11:35] <zamba> oh yeah, it did.. it crashed the whole X sessiong
[11:35] <zamba> yay
[11:35] <Guest17411> temba his arms wide
[11:35] <shape> jrib, i dont understand how it got so screwed up since I just installed ubuntu :( I think I made a mistake and chose the MBR to be sda1 instead of sda
[11:35] <IdleOne> Guest17411: Star Trek references in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:35] <shape> jrib, and then fixed it with boot-repair
[11:35] <jrib> shape: maybe...
[11:35] <shape> jrib, but how can I fix that then?
[11:36] <jrib> shape: try testdisk but I do not have any experience with it
[11:36] <shape> jrib, I think I know how to do it. I will just uninstall ubuntu and repair the windows mbr, and then reinstall ubuntu
[11:37] <shape> jrib, repaid the mbr from the Live CD
[11:37] <shape> repair*
[11:37] <jrib> shape: why do you need to uninstall ubuntu?
[11:37] <blurp> .. just reinstall ubuntu and it will reinstall grub on the mbr.
[11:37] <blurp> it over-writes the windows mbr when you install grub.
[11:37] <blurp> or you can try to repair it if you think you're good enough.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> good = skilled
[11:38] <blurp> ^
[11:38] <shape> okay I will see what I can do! Thanks
[11:38] <shape> I'll be back regardless!
[11:38] <blurp> good luch.
[11:38] <blurp> luck*
[11:39] <blurp> I just had the same problem trying to install vector linux.  It wouldn't install the bootloader correctly for some reason.  I tried putting it in sda1 and sda, and nothing.  I wound up with a windows system that had two ext4 parts on it, and couldn't boot into them.
[11:39] <blurp> I couldn't get the installer .iso's to work from usb, and the live version's graphical install was awkward with the mbr part.
[11:39] <afd> is it possible to remove keyrings so that they are no longer used and not affect data / file access etc?
[11:40] <blurp> I ended up switching to bodhi.
[11:40] <Mayazcherquoi> How can I kill all processes that match a given regex pattern?
[11:40] <blurp> afd, I think you just uninstall it with your package manager.
[11:41] <afd> blurp: really? it's not like the data / apps being accessed when keyrings are used is encrypted or something? you aren't deleting encryption keys...?
[11:41] <jrib> Mayazcherquoi: pkill
[11:41] <Stanley00> Mayazcherquoi: maybe pkill or kill `pgrep ...`
[11:41] <Daghdha> http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bys59  <-- That is what i ment, it used to livein the bottom right corner of my 10.10 desktop: I want this back if it's possible, is ok if it lives at the top from now on but would realy like it back.
[11:41] <Mayazcherquoi> jrib / Stanley00: Oh okay! Thank you guys! :)
[11:42] <go8765> can anybody help me please with x-server pb please? after upgrade it dont start.  how i can install older wersion of xorg?
[11:43] <savr> yay vpn working with dns
[11:43] <savr> damn slow to resolve dns
[11:43] <savr> 400-800ms to the vpn
[11:44] <blurp> afd, I think uninstalling the programs will get rid of their effecting any data.  They may leave a few undeleted text files behind somewhere that were saved, but I'd bet that removing something that stores info locally would remove the info it stored, too, in most cases.
[11:45] <Daghdha> i think it's called a widget, i need a workspace widget for the top toolbar
[11:45] <tarvid> Any reason Nautilus would not show files on an external drive that show up with ls?
[11:45] <blurp> tarvid.. loose usb?
[11:46] <tarvid> browes fine from the command line
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> tarvid: close nautilus, then reopen it
[11:47] <blurp> Odd. I'm a fan of the more basic file browsers.  I like thunar and File Manager.
[11:47] <tarvid> just restarted but will try
[11:47] <fidel_> tarvid: might depend on the configured view options of nautilus. i.e. show hidden files etc. Might that be a possible reason for your case?
[11:47] <blurp> Maybe reboot and try again.  My wireless derped out in the middle of a big synaptic pm download.  had to reboot.
[11:48] <tarvid> it shows nothing
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> what's 'derped'?
[11:49] <phibxr> MonkeyDust, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=herp%20derp
[11:49] <Daghdha> is there any AV for ubunty that's free? I am now scanning my entire ubunty shares from windows machine, it's a tad time consuming :/
[11:49] <jarco_> I heard adobe will not support Linux anymore with flash. The article said to use chrome as flash is build in in chrome. I just installed chrome on my fresh ubuntu install and II surfed to grooveshark. The site sais I have no flash installed. How can I enable the flash available in chrome?
[11:50] <thomas001> hi, is there a way to set default mount options for btrfs, which are then used by the ubuntu installer and system? there doesn't seem a way to set mount options directly in the installer :-/
[11:50] <phibxr> jarco_, did you install Chrome or Chromium? Chrome using the .DEB-file from google.com/chrome contains flash already.
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> !virus| Daghdha
[11:51] <jarco_> phibxr: I installed chrome with that deb. Still grooveshark gives the same error
[11:51] <fidel_> jarco_: is that problem grooveshark specific?
[11:51] <fidel_> so does flash works on other pages for you?
[11:51] <phibxr> jarco_, navigate to chrome://plugins/
[11:52] <phibxr> jarco_, can you see Flash there?
[11:52] <jarco_> seems not so fidel_
[11:52] <jarco_> phibxr: no flash there
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> jarco_: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'      use http://pastie.org to host
[11:53] <phibxr> jarco_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/129534/problem-flash-player-not-present-in-chrome-on-ubuntu-12-04
[11:54] <phibxr> jarco_, are you running 64-bit?
[11:54] <jarco_> phibxr: yes
[11:54] <phibxr> jarco_, then it's a bug in google chrome. full report here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108381
[11:54] <polishguy94> Is there a way to refresh the instalation of linux
[11:54] <jarco_> ActionParsnip: i ll ssh in to it and paste it here :)
[11:54] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94, what do you mean by a refresh?
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> jarco_: sweet
[11:55] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94, like monkeydust suggested an update of all programs, or a cleanup operation?
[11:55] <polishguy94> i've been fighting with sound which suddenly disappeared for last few hours and I've fixed nothing. I'd like to have a fresh installation of core components leaving the user installed untouched
[11:55] <jarco_> phibxr: the plugin refered to in the article is a chrome plugin or the flash from adobe?
[11:56] <reynir> I have experienced the following twice: After some time X.org seems to ignore the keyboard entirely. I cannot switch to linux terminals, scroll lock light doesn't switch. I still can do ctrl+alt+sys-r subr. Is this a known issue?
[11:56] <blurp> polishguy94, if your home and root partitions are separate, you could just reinstall from scratch and keep your /home dir.
[11:56] <blurp> automatic reset.
[11:56] <polishguy94> blurp: how about installed programmes?
[11:56] <phibxr> jarco_, they bundle adobes plugin, but only in the 32-bit version.
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  aptoncd to backup/recover them
[11:57] <polishguy94> and my home and root partitions are not separate, shit
[11:57] <blurp> there are a few distros that will give you the option to keep or delete your programs/options, but I don't think ubuntu is one of them.
[11:57] <polishguy94> or maybe you can just help solving my sound issue
[11:57] <polishguy94> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a539cacc0eda3f3cbf3f6eb67c7bab16e706ecf5
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*  wait a few seconds, then try sound
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  in a Terminal, type alsamier, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> alsamixer*
[11:58] <polishguy94> alsamixer - nothing is muted
[11:58] <polishguy94> i've tried reinstallation of pulseaudio
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did my command work?
[11:58] <jarco_> phibxr: I thought they had their ownb version of it, one they updated themselves. I am trying to get that one.
[11:58] <JohnnyricoMC_> polishguy94,if you're gonna try a clean install, try dpkg --get-selections. That should give you a list of all packages. With some usage of cut or awk you can then get a nice little list you can feed to apt-get after a clean install.
[11:58] <polishguy94> I suppose yes
[11:59] <reynir> ^ to my earlier message: It seems gajim had a segfault in libgtk-[something] yesterday. It could be related. I suspect it only happens when I run gajim
[11:59] <phibxr> Is there any good reasoning behind Ubuntu making all home folders readable for all local users by default? Even Windows restricts access to others home folders on a clean installation.
[11:59] <blurp> I'm running ubuntu studio.. I installed 11.1 or 11.04 and upgradedto 12 the other day.  Now jack is being silly and the porting is different.
[12:00] <polishguy94> When I go to sound settings, select desired output and click on test button and test left or right channel there's no blue highlight of buttons which used to be there before my problems
[12:00] <blurp> I have alsa connections instead of system input and such.
[12:00] <reynir> phibxr: I think that's normal for unix systems
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did you try my command at all?
[12:00] <polishguy94> also, when I play something, the pulseaudio console shows a bar of sound level which moves according to the loudness of sound I play but nothing is output to my headphones
[12:01] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: yest I did
[12:01] <SunTsu> phibxr: it's the first step I take after getting a new account: lock it down to the point I am comfortable with it
[12:01] <polishguy94> I've tried playing sounds via alsa alone and via pulseaudio
[12:01] <blurp> phibxr, your home folder is your virtual bedroom. Do you keep your bedroom locked all day?  There's usually no need.
[12:02] <blurp> polishguy94, you may have had a hardware recognition glitch.  Have you rebooted your os?
[12:02] <auronandace> polishguy94: i'm curious, can i see a screenshot of alsamixer?
[12:02] <polishguy94> blurp: after each change of settings
[12:02] <blurp> hrm
[12:02] <polishguy94> auronandace: no problem
[12:02] <rawiramdhan> s
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: did you try the alsa ppa?
[12:05] <JohnnyricoMC_> y

[12:05] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: no
[12:06] <rekasi> hy
[12:06] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: but I have alsa force-reload
[12:06] <auronandace> polishguy94: thats it, just one bar?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: it's listed in the sound troubleshooting procedure doc, have you seen it?
[12:07] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: which one, there is a few?
[12:08]  * auronandace thinks ppas should only ever be a last resort
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[12:09] <auronandace> polishguy94: what options do you get from f6 in alsamixer?
[12:09] <abes> Question: I need to write a script that removes special characters recursivly from all filenames within given directory and its subdirectories - what's my best approach here? (I need it to do it as soon as the file is uploaded, so I am thinking to add a cronjob at every minute)
[12:10] <shape> jrib, Hey, so I reinstalled grub and everything and it still doesn't see the windows partition :(
[12:10] <shape> jrib, I guess I'll have to reinstall windows
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> shape  windows is still thee, grub just doesnt see it
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> there*
[12:11] <shape> MonkeyDust, but gparted sees the partition as "unkown" as well. Do you have any suggestions?
[12:11] <polishguy94> aurondace: -default (shows pulseaudio) 0 (ati radeon hdmi) 1 (ca0106 - my desired soundcard)
[12:11] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: his ntfs partition isn't recognised in gparted
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> ah
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> missed that part
[12:12] <auronandace> polishguy94: try changing to 1
[12:12] <shape> auronandace, thanks for reading my problems :)
[12:12] <auronandace> shape: no worries
[12:13] <sarthor> /etc/network/interfaces
[12:13] <shape> I think boot-repair messed it up, because I did nothing else. Oh and gparted does see it, but the file system is "unkown"
[12:13] <sarthor> I want to compile lsm for shorewall on ubnutu-sever 12.04, How to do that, I never compiled anything before.
[12:13] <polishguy94> auronandace: nothing
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> !compile
[12:13] <auronandace> polishguy94: how many bars are in that screen?
[12:14] <shape> auronandace, basically if gparted sees the file system as unkown I am screwed right?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> sarthor  ubottu refers to iptables
[12:14] <polishguy94> auronandace: look at the second screenshot I've sent you
[12:15] <polishguy94> auronandace: http://i.imgur.com/y1BcV.jpg
[12:15] <auronandace> shape: essentially yes, as far as i know
[12:15] <braz> bom dia a todos!
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> !pt
[12:16] <shape> auronandace, Oh well, I'll get to install Windows, but if I install windows wouldn't that ruin grub? I'd have to repair grub again correct?
[12:16] <auronandace> shape: yes, windows will overwrite grub
[12:17] <shape> auronandace, is it hard to repair grub?
[12:17] <zap0> how do i set a higher monitor resolution, it currently only shows  1024x768  800x600     my monitor is 1920x1200
[12:17] <auronandace> polishguy94: hmm, well i'm perplexed
[12:17] <auronandace> shape: not really
[12:17] <shape> auronandace, nevermind I just found tons of wiki for that
[12:18] <polishguy94> auronandace: I've tried even this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> polishguy94: does the PPA help?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> zap0: what video chip?
[12:20] <auronandace> polishguy94: hmm, i don't think you'd need that for 12.04 since alsa is already 1.0.25
[12:21] <polishguy94> auronandace: but It reinstalls alsa, plus I had .24 driver while the rest of alsa's components were 25
[12:21] <zap0> ActionParsnip, its running in virtualbox.      nvidia card.   8800GT i think.
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> zap0: if its a virtual stystem then it will use virtual hardware
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> zap0: did you install guest additions?
[12:23] <zap0> ActionParsnip, yes.
[12:23] <auronandace> polishguy94: i guess you're getting rather desperate (reading the big fat warning at the top of that thread), maybe try what ActionParsnip suggests
[12:23] <polishguy94> ActionParsnip: PPA does not help
[12:24] <auronandace> polishguy94: personally i'd go for a reinstall
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> zap0: could use: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759   just change the res to what you desire
[12:24] <polishguy94> auronandace: i am afraid that I might forget to back up something
[12:25] <polishguy94> AFK
[12:25] <auronandace> polishguy94: i keep all i need on a seperate storage partition and back it up to an external drive, fresh installs are breeze that way

[12:34] <near> thanks I will have a look to the link below
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  I do, but what do you mean 'gets out of it'?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> zamba: use the cog icon in the top right
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> MonkeyDust, the cursor at the top of the screen gets out of context
[12:36] <zamba> ActionParsnip: and system settings?
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> if you move the cursor to the top of the screen and click, you get nothing
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> about maximize close windows i mean
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  click on what exactly?
[12:36] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i'm already there.. and then under keyboard.. the problem is that i don't see alt+f2 there
[12:36] <Gosset_Inofensiu> on the bar of the windows
[12:37] <Gosset_Inofensiu> I've tested this on different machines
[12:37] <zamba> god damn i hate this
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> zamba: search in dash for settings
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  doenst ring a bell, i placed the buttons are to the left, works fine here
[12:37] <zamba> alt+f2 is a global keyboard shortcut that's not possible to change
[12:37] <PATIL1234567> Hi, i need application to send/recv data between two zigbee usb devices on ubuntu, if anybdy is having please share
[12:37] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i'm already there
[12:38] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i have system settings, but as i've said several times now, it's not possible to rebind alt+f2 there
[12:38] <zamba> same goes with alt+f1, that brings out the stupid sidebar
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> zamba: are you using desktop effects?
[12:38] <zamba> ActionParsnip: dunno what i'm using, because it's impossible to see any settings
[12:39] <zamba> ActionParsnip: where can i check that?
[12:39] <zamba> the appearance thingy in system settings only has "look" and "behavior"
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> zamba: when you press ALT+TAB do you get a small icon set in the middle or a full and pretty animation?
[12:39] <DanielConvissor> morning.  figured out how to enable automatic reboot for unattended upgrades.  but when the reboot happens, it's immediate.  is there a way to make the reboot wait x minutes?
[12:39] <zamba> ActionParsnip: small icon set
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> zamba: ok thats not effects, you are using Unity2D :)
[12:40] <PATIL1234567> Hi, anybody having application to send/recv data between two zigbee usb devices on ubuntu
[12:40] <zamba> this is just not intuitive no more, i can't believe canonical has gone this way
[12:40] <Gosset_Inofensiu> but MonkeyDust , when you got a window maximized, and you move the cursor at the top of the screen to double-click in order demaximize, what do you get? you must move the cursor a little bit down of the top of the screen
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: so what do i do?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> PATIL1234567: what is zigbee?
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: if i try starting unity 3d i get no system tray
[12:40] <zamba> ActionParsnip: just a blank screen
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> zamba: in ccsm you may be able to set the gnome compatibility there
[12:41] <zamba> where do i start ccsm from?
[12:41] <zamba> especially if i refuses to start
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> zamba: alt+f2
[12:41] <dandre> Hello,
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  i have 'no effects'
[12:42] <zamba> i just started unity (not unity 2d)
[12:42] <zamba> and i get a totally blank screen
[12:42] <zamba> no launcher, no tray, no nothing
[12:42] <chiliblue> what does alt+f2 do, it seemed to bring out the menu bar and then lock me out, i.e. I couldn't type in xchat
[12:42] <zamba> luckily i have bound ctrl+alt+t to opening a new terminal, so i'm at least able to do that
[12:42] <Gosset_Inofensiu> anyway MonkeyDust , i'll report as abug
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> zamba: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/580295
[12:43] <sunit> How can I add new user in subversion ?
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> Gosset_Inofensiu  sounds like compiz to me, i don't use that
[12:43] <dandre> I have a working system on ubuntu 11.10, 32 bits. I would like to upgrade to 12.04/64 bits but keep my working system for backup in case of issue in migrating process. What do you recommand?
[12:43] <fidel_> sunit: consider asking in #svn
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> dandre  fresh install
 its wireless network for home appliances
[12:44] <zamba> ActionParsnip: well.. i have a bigger problem now, as unity gives me no widgets or anything
[12:44] <sunit> fidel_: ok
[12:44] <ThinkT510> dandre: you can't upgrade from 32 to 64bit, you need to fresh install
[12:44] <zamba> ActionParsnip: what do i do about taht?
[12:44] <zamba> that*
[12:45] <zamba> switching between workspaces with alt+f1, f2, f3 and f4 works now, though
[12:45] <dandre> ok probably I need to dpkg --get-selections and then selection
[12:45] <dandre> or is there another way?
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> dandre  or aptoncd to backup/recover
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> dandre  aptoncd creates an iso
[12:46] <zamba> ActionParsnip: is the problem that i'm launching gnome-shell istead of unity?
[12:48] <dandre> will it deal with 32 to 64 bit migration?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> zamba: not sure there dude
[12:48] <ikonia> dandre: no
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> dandre: you'll need to reinstall to change arch
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> dandre  no problem, i did it myself
[12:49] <shape> can someone please tell me what is the reverse of this command (i.e. undoing what the command does) "sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda"
[12:49] <faraway> hi. i have a question to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 form cd. first of all, i have made backups of all data. then i started form cd to do an installation and did "upgrade form 11.10 to 12.04"
[12:49] <faraway>  then i was asked "how you are?" and i thought ok, i don't wan to create a new user so i stopped the upgrade process which was a bad idea :D is the only way now to do a complete reinstallation. or can i get back to 11.10 ? i only went to the step "How you are?"
[12:49] <auronandace> shape: you can't undo that
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> dandre  fresh install *is* required, tho, if you want to go from 32 to 64bit
[12:50] <krababbel> If I move / to another hdd, can I just point grub to that uuid, or do grub and / need to be on the same drive?
[12:50] <auronandace> shape: it overwrites the mbr
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> faraway: could go to liveCD environment, chroot and fix things there
[12:50] <dandre> ok
[12:51] <shape> auronandace, yes but what if I put sda2 let's say, it copied the mbr to sda2 correct? how do I remove the mbr from sda2
[12:51] <faraway> ActionParsnip: is there somewhere a tutorial for this ?
[12:51] <_numbers> since i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 ubuntu server 64-bit, my ~/.bashrc stopped executing
[12:51] <shape> auronandace, even though there was no mbr on sda2
[12:51] <auronandace> shape: mbr is always at the beginning of the disk, you can put a bootloader at sda2 but not an mbr
[12:52] <_numbers> so i dont have bash completion or aliases
[12:52] <llutz> _numbers: "echo $SHELL" says what after login?
[12:52] <_numbers>  /bin/bash
[12:52] <shape> auronandace, so basically nothing happened then on sda2 correct? the mbr is still on sda
[12:53] <auronandace> shape: mbr is always on sda
[12:54] <fayaz> hi, what's the /tmp/python.cache_ubuntu for? it's taken up all of my inodes
[12:54] <auronandace> shape: if you ran that command with sda2 instead then you've likely overwritten something on sda2
[12:54] <shape> auronandace, I see
[12:54] <auronandace> shape: which may break the partition
[12:55] <polishguy94> Guess what!
[12:55] <polishguy94> I've fixed my audio
[12:55] <shape> auronandace, is there a way to unbreak it?
[12:55] <alankila> fayaz: it's the python circle of friends
[12:55] <alankila> fayaz: more seriously, sounds like a bug. No idea, sorry.
[12:55] <auronandace> shape: no, dd is a direct copy
[12:55] <fayaz> alankila: okay, i'll ask over there
[12:55] <auronandace> !yay | polishguy94
[12:55] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  share your solution with the channel, in one line, for future reference
[12:55] <L3top> ^
[12:56] <alankila> fayaz: I don't have such a thing here at all.
[12:56] <simonsays1980>  My compiler has a problem creating TestFiles during build....this is since the last automatic ubuntu updates. Now I have a permission problem.
[12:56] <auronandace> shape: you'd need to reinstall/reformat (whatever that partition was for)
[12:56] <shape> auronandace, Thanks for the info! I really have to reinstall windows in that case. May I ask how can I become more knowledgeable, just read "man"? Linux books?
[12:56] <krababbel> Can GRUB be on one drive MBR, and boot Ubuntu from another?
[12:57] <shape> I'd really want to get going because my ignorance is causing me headaches
[12:57] <polishguy94> Uninstall pulseaudio, run ALSA Upgrade Script Redux, set default device in /etc/asound.conf
[12:57] <shape> krababbel, yes
[12:57] <auronandace> shape: practise makes perfect, try messing around with vms if you need a safe practise ground
[12:58] <simonsays1980> Has anyone a clue after reading this short error message what to do with the permissions? http://pastebin.com/4QTm8gZG
[12:58] <shape> auronandace, vsm = virtual machine? like vmware and virtualbox?
[12:58] <polishguy94> I would also like to thank you for support, people.
[12:58] <auronandace> shape: yes, i use virtualbox
[12:58] <mewtier> Guten Tag
[12:58] <MonkeyDust> !de
[12:58] <mewtier> Hello motherfuckers
[12:58] <_numbers> its weird because if i ssh in and then type `bash` it loads my ~/.bashrc fine
[12:59] <_numbers> /etc/password is configured to execute /bin/bash
[12:59] <krababbel> shape: thanks
[12:59] <_numbers> /etc/paswd
[13:00] <pfote> Hi. installed a (k)ubuntu yesterday on a amd64 machine with a existing win7 on a seperate hd, guided installation. worked flawlessly with one exception, the grub did detect win, created a entry for it, but it doesn't work, it creates a error like "efi - file not found". tried to read up on EFI/UEFI but got confused, any advice on what to read to get that solved? i have no clue about these new booting concepts :-/
[13:00] <krababbel> shape: you erased windows mbr?
[13:00] <krababbel> shape: you can restore that
[13:00] <serard> Hello
[13:01] <shape> krababbel, I know, but what I did was somehow break my partition.
[13:01] <serard> Is there any way to have a /etc/hosts file writable by user ? Something like ~/.hosts ?
[13:01] <shape> krababbel, gparted sees the windows partition as "unkown file system"
[13:01] <tidux> how do I get `keychain` to stop using GNOME keyring?
[13:01] <tidux> I've tried just shutting off the gnome-keyring-daemon process with pkill
[13:02] <krababbel> shape: oh, I thought you only did it to sda, not sda2
[13:02] <tidux> but then keychain fails entirely, unlike on systems with no GNOME keyring
[13:03] <gaelfx> serard: don't think so, the whole point of it being root-owned is so that users can't screw it up
[13:03] <shape> krababbel, The command I posted above is the simplest way to restore the MBR from the Live CD, as Ive done it before. What happened to me was that I seleted the bootloader on a different drive, and when I used that command I typed sda1 instead of sda which made my Windows Partition "unkown file system"
[13:03] <krababbel> shape: OK, I see
[13:04] <serard> Yes but I want my devs to be able to screw it as they want when they create .local websites
[13:04] <serard> Where is this /etc/hosts being used & or configured ?
[13:04] <near> can someone can have a look on these comands? UUID=286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c  /saves  vfat auto rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0
[13:04] <near> /dev/sda1 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync 0 0 .my target is to automate the mount process
[13:04] <shape> krababbel, gparted doesn't see it, boot-repair can't do anything (tried it 3 times), and ubuntu doesn't see the partition as NTFS. So i'm screwed.
[13:04] <gaelfx> !pb | near
[13:05] <chiliblue> ok how do you enable unity 3d, my gfx spport it
[13:05] <shape> krababbel, all because I installed the bootloader on sda1 and tried to restore the mbr on sda1.
[13:05] <gaelfx> chiliblue: when you login, make sure Ubuntu session is selected
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  you can select it in lightdm
[13:06] <krababbel> shape: sda1 is a partition of course, sda holds the mbr. The windows loader is on sda1 for instance I think.
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, which is the windows partition, instead of putting it on dev/sda. Careless mistake.
[13:06] <near> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964611/
[13:06] <pfote> nobody a idea?
[13:06] <DanielConvissor> serard: hosts is used by os networking layer.  one possible way to do _something_ along the lines you want for web devs is to use mod_rewrite
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, yes. I didn't pay attention because of fatigue.
[13:06] <DanielConvissor> serard: (in apache)
[13:06] <tidux> never mind, I figured out the --nogui switch to "keychain" and killed a running process
[13:06] <tidux> all fixed
[13:06] <chiliblue> I have unity 2d running isn't there an option to switch it on  by default
[13:06] <shape> krababbel, which cost me a fresh install
[13:07] <llutz> near:  ... auto,rw,users....    no space after "auto"
[13:07] <near> ok ,
[13:07] <DanielConvissor> serard: you'd have to think of a scheme for mapping uri's to the paths you desire
[13:07] <krababbel> shape: sucks, I deleted a lot of my sister's stuff messing and not paying attention.
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  choose Unity 3D in the login menu, it will be selected automatically after that
[13:08] <sandGorgon> how do I configure my VPN route to let everything go through it EXCEPT 10.*.*.* addresses ? basically instead of allowing an ip address, I want to prevent a specific range
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> sandGorgon  iptables
[13:08] <jack_> BAM DONE
[13:08] <jack_> NEXT QUESTION
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> caps
[13:08] <serard> DanielConvissor: thanks for the hint, can you tell me more ? Can't see the point using mod_rewrite :o. I have /var/www/sites/my_site1 and in /etc/hosts I add the <IP_ADDRESS> my_site1.local + the vhost. I want vhosts to separate the debug thing when using localhost/phpmyadin & other localhost/ things. I dont want all .local sites behind localhost/ (locahost/my_site1 for example <= I dont want that)
[13:08] <FloodBot1> jack_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:09] <SunTsu> sandGorgon: iptables/netfilter - or route it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:09] <jack_> Is there another way of displaying sarcasm?
[13:09] <jack_> _maybe i'll start doing this_
[13:09] <chiliblue> ok MonkeyDust hoping to pass the time play with it while a couple of things ran in terminals... oh well, not sure why I haven't got it by default, machine is up to the job
[13:09] <serard> DanielConvissor:  I understand that I need to create a scheme but can't see how create a way with mod_rewrite oO
[13:09] <serard> :)
[13:09] <llutz> near: and btw, those are lines from /etc/fstab, not commands
[13:09] <shape> auronandace, last time I used vmware I remember it didn't save settings. Does virtual box save settings/personal settings for the distro?
[13:10] <auronandace> shape: yes, if you install the distro
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> chiliblue  with byobu/screen, you can log in and out without interrupting whatever is running in terminal
[13:10] <L3top> virtualbox is just a virtual machine. Whatever is running in the virtual environment should behave just as it would on hardware shape.
[13:10] <auronandace> shape: sound like you just loaded the livecd in it
[13:11] <projektlabor> hello does anybody know a programm which likes adobe after affects
[13:11] <sandGorgon> SunTsu, any way of configuring this using the graphical UI of network manager ?
[13:11] <near> so I need to write both in one lines ?
[13:11] <shape> auronandace, Oh I see, you can actually install it. Cool
[13:11] <near> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964624/
[13:12] <projektlabor> hello they know if there is one program that is similar to adobe after effects
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> !equivalents| projektlabor
[13:14] <llutz> near:  "d:\saves" is what you want to mount somewhere?
[13:14] <llutz> near: and 286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c is the UUID of the filesystem holding windows drive d: ?
[13:14] <near> I want to mount it on linux
[13:14] <SunTsu> sandGorgon: NetworkManager Config has "routes" tab
[13:15] <near> no is Linux vortualbox drive
[13:15] <near> virtualbox* sorry
[13:15] <DanielConvissor> serard: yes, simplest way is for admin to set up /etc/hosts for the devs in advance.  but if you want devs to be able to do stuff on the fly, rewrite rules can be used to do interesting stuff.  see RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
[13:16] <near> In virtualbox I can't see windows partitions , I don't why so I mount one of the partition when I boot it to use my files
[13:16] <llutz> near: you mount filesystems, not directories. so mount your "UUID=286c6677-6c86-4ecc-a4c8-e1cde54d2f6c /media/winD vfat auto,rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0" and then "/media/winD/saves /media/saves none bind 0 0" if you want to access this directory directly
[13:17] <w3bg33k> is there a way to mount a UNC path to a windows server?  ie.  I'd like to mount /mymount to \\server\folder\
[13:17] <shaneo> hey guys is there a way to see what files are taking up the most room on my hdd i seems to have alot of space used and nothing using it..that i know of
[13:17] <nachtwolf> Hello
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> shaneo  du -h
[13:18] <shaneo> w3bg33k, check out smestorage
[13:18] <L3top> !info gdmap | shaneo
[13:18] <serard> Ok I should trick the http host in the http request but to do so needs specific plugins in firefox I guess
[13:19] <shaneo> lol tahbk you L3
[13:19] <shaneo> lol tahbk you L3top du -h went on forever
[13:19] <serard> DanielConvissor: Hmm well I dont really understand where to go from this :(
[13:19] <near> llutz : for the second process is it correct ? : "/dev/sda1 /media/floppy auto rw,noauto,user,sync"
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> shaneo  find / -size +1G -exec ln -s {} ~ \; -- replace 1G by whatever you want
[13:20] <llutz> near: i wouldn't use floppy for a non-floppy as mountpoint but its up to you. syntax is ok
[13:20] <L3top> shaneo: from cli you could find / -size +50000k             to find files larger than 50Mb for intsance
